Welcome to the end, just like that sex and the city fans podcast.

I created this podcast for sex and the city fans.

And just like you who love Carrie Bradshaw and are super excited to binge out on this

new HBO max series and just like this.

Let's watch the new chapter of sex in the city and just like that.

And talk about fashion, love, relationships, and life in New York city.

Hi, I am dimple.

Dang.

I am your host.

I'm a marketing expert, a podcast coach, and a podcaster.

And let's get this party started.

All right.

You guys let's talk about episode seven.

This was, I will say an interesting one.

So episode seven, open sub with Carrie and she's on her Mac, computer.

She's typing her stories.

It is kind of raining outside.

And reminds me of back and her sex in the city days when she used to

be writing all of her columns and it just that same exact vision.

And by the way, did anyone notice the song that was playing the lyrics

said spring is here and yet it was like rainy and snowing outside.

so what's interesting is there's definitely some irony in that song and

what that means to Carrie, because I think that song represents that for

Carrie it's time for new beginnings.

So.

And the next scene, Carrie takes her article to her editor and her

editors not liking the sob story.

The, you know, Carrie lost the love of her life, Mr.

Big.

And even though that is Carrie's reality, but her editor thinks that the audience

would prefer at least a glimmer of hope.

And that is what she is driving.

To get carried to do is to provide even a glimmer of hope.

And she asked Gary, well, Gary, when are you going to start dating again?

And Carrie's not really too keen on the whole dating thing right now.

So then her editor says, Carrie, just go on a date.

And then at least you can have a chapter in the book about this date or at this

point, even one page would be okay.

so in the next scene, Charlotte is hanging out with her new friend, Lisa, and they're

playing tennis together and they're playing against these two other women.

And Charlotte's like, we got this, we can win this.

And it's interesting that they're playing Rocky music in the background and

they're playing eye of the tiger, like all like goodies from like the eighties.

And it's putting Charlotte in a different light that I haven't seen her before.

It's putting her in this light of like, you know what, she's

ready to try something new.

She's ready to take on the world and she's not going to be,

taking no for an answer anymore.

She's not going to be losing she's in it too.

So, this is like interesting.

Charlotte.

I want to see what happens with the.

so in the next scene, Miranda is irritated with Steve because she

can't even hear him on the phone when she's at the farmer's market.

And she's like, okay, whatever, just get over here.

Cause Steve was at another farmer's market across the way.

And so Steve shows up to meet Miranda at the farmer's market and then Miranda bumps

into her professor and her professor was with her husband and they're all talking.

Then Steve finally comes over.

He's frazzled that Miranda was yelling at him and he forgot his wallet at

the other farmer's market stand.

So wonderful.

I mean, this is interesting.

They're really.

Showing Steve to be quite the senior citizen, but, I don't know.

And then,

and some Miranda's like, oh, this is what it's come to.

Yeah.

Miranda, your life is not really too exciting when you're around Steve.

Is it all right?

So then Carrie's hanging out with the girls and she's telling them that

her editor wants her to go on a date.

And you know, of course Charlotte gets super excited and is still not excited.

But Carrie does say, well, if I can lighten my hair, I can lighten my.

So that's a good one.

Carrie.

I liked that saying, and then Carrie and Miranda are taking a walk and

they're talking about Shea and the fact that she never texted Miranda back.

And I think Miranda's kind of snooping around to see if Shea has asked Carrie

about her or mentioned her at the podcast studio or anything like that.

And she's trying to figure out well, how long is too long to be waiting

for someone to respond back to.

DM or a text message.

And I guess it's been about three months, so three months.

Yeah.

I would say Miranda that's a long time.

And I don't know if she's that into you at this point are maybe

she wants you to chase her?

I don't know.

And also Miranda's questioning Carrie and Carrie's ever going

to have sex with someone again.

And Carrie is like right now, it's too difficult to think about.

She's like, I'm sure I will, but you know, Mr.

Big is still fresh on her mind, which is understandable.

So in the next scene, Dr.

Naya Wallace, she's in the car with her husband and Miranda sends a text message.

And so Dr.

Nye has got this.

Fancy car where her text messages are said to automatically read big mistakes and

never do that because you don't know what kind of text message you're going to get.

And imagine if she's cheating, that would be really bad.

Well, she wasn't cheating, but that this message was still bad enough because

Miranda sends a text message saying, oh, I'm so sorry that you're not pregnant.

And did you actually tell your husband, how did he take.

Well, doctor and I did actually not tell her husband and he

did not take it too well.

And while they were having this conversation, while she's driving,

she almost ran over a toddler, looked like a baby in a stroller,

but it was quite the toddler.

We'll get to that in a minute.

So it was, two men that were a couple and they were walking their baby across

the street and the light was green.

And.

Dr.

Niaz slammed on her brakes, but only because her husband said stop.

And then the man came to the window, he started knocking on the window.

He is very upset and he made it very clear that he had a toddler

and she was not paying attention.

Now I want to ask you guys, what do you guys think?

Do you think he was overreacting or do you think that he had the right to be mad?

I don't know.

I mean, I think he did kind of have the right to be mad because

she was a distracted driver and she could have, random over.

But I think he was very animated.

And he did make it clear that it was a toddler.

So don't call it a baby.

Cause he might get mad.

It was definitely a toddler.

Thank you.

Right.

We'll move on to the next.

So in the next scene, Charlotte's playing tennis again.

This seems to be her new sport of choice, which is good.

And she's playing this time with Lisa and Lisa's husband, and

then it's her and Harry, and she seems to be very competitive.

And, you know, during this tennis competition, she

accidentally knocks Harry to the.

But she doesn't even know, like notice them for a while.

Like, it takes her a little bit of time to then be like,

oh, okay, let me help you up.

But she didn't say sorry.

And he was really expecting her to say, sorry.

And it's something that really bothered him.

So Harry's, looking for that apology, he's waiting and waiting and

waiting and the apology doesn't come.

And then he dresses the situation.

Hey, you know, why didn't you apologize?

And,

and Charlotte's like, well, I don't need to apologize.

And so basically they're outside of the, facility and they are arguing

in public about this whole thing.

And you know, it's like this whole, I'm sorry, not sorry, situation.

And then.

On top of it, Charlotte proceeds to yell and scream of poor Harry.

And then she doesn't realize that our friend, Lisa and her husband are

sitting in a bench right behind her.

And then she waves like, oh my God, how embarrassing?

Well, Charlotte, what are you doing, girlfriend?

Like, you got to like tone it down a bit.

All right.

So the next scene is with Miranda and Steve, and I just have to say,

I really can't watch the scene.

I mean, this scene was painful to watch.

I'm like, can we just fast forward this?

And Miranda obviously can't get any sex from Shea.

So she decides that maybe she should act.

Try to get some from Steve and their little sexcapade

was not fun to watch it all.

And honestly, it was downright awkward, and I just wanted to

close my eyes and fast forward to the next scene really quickly.

All right.

Moving on from that.

So then Carrie, decides to go on the state, you know, it's more so for research

purposes for her book, because her editor.

Literally forcing her into going on a date.

So she's like, oh, it's not a big deal.

It can't be that bad.

So Carrie is walking into, the restaurant and as you see her walking

down the street, she's got on this beautiful slinky baby blue dress, and

it's like a one shoulder and she's got A double-breasted blazer and it's

got this satin, like shiny fabric.

And then of course she has on her stiletto heels.

Her hair is back in a bun and her makeup looks good.

so she finds her date, Peter, and then she sits down and it's kind

of awkward for a bit because Peter doesn't really talk right away.

Doesn't say anything and takes them a moment.

And they're just kind of staring at each other.

Like, are you going to say something?

Then he takes off his glasses.

And says that his wife recently passed away.

So Carrie, did you really have to pick someone?

Who's also lost somebody to go on a first date with the state's

not going to be too much fun?

No wonder Carrie says, can we get drinks please?

Cause she knows that this is going to be a painful date without drinks.

But the thing about drinks is that one drink.

Wasn't going to cut it to have the conversations that they

were going to have to have.

So they had one drink after another and maybe a couple of shots.

And they were pretty lit when they walked outside of this restaurant and

they had way too many cocktails and they seem to be having an okay time until.

Her date pretty much barfed on her expensive and gorgeous shoes.

And that moment, that date did not go well.

And that was just even horrible to watch.

So episode seven, I don't know what's going on, but I am not

loving seeing all these things.

So in the next scene, everyone is at a charity event that Lisa

and her husband are hosting.

And then Charlotte's there with Harry and Charlotte says,

sorry to one of her friends.

And Harry has still not recovered from Charlotte, not apologizing the other day

for knocking him over on the tennis court.

So Harry catches that and Harry's not going to let go.

And he's like, well, how come you apologize to your friend,

but you won't apologize to me.

And he's like, you know, I just don't think that it's fair.

And I think Harry, I mean, you might just have to accept it.

I really don't think Charlotte's going to apologize to you.

And in this case, Charlotte explains to her.

That woman go around apologizing all the time to the entire

world for every damn thing.

And tennis is the one place where she doesn't need to go and apologize.

So interesting.

Very interesting perspective, because now that she puts it that way, I have

to say, Charlotte, you do have a point.

You have a point when it comes to that, because there's so many times.

Women are always apologizing to people for things that they should

not even be apologizing for.

And I think that as a society, we have to work on that and we

have to become better at that.

And we should only be apologizing for things that we truly did wrong.

Like, don't apologize for every little thing because what's going to happen.

Especially if you do that in corporate America, it's going to make you look weak.

And when you look.

You're going to be the weak link and you might even get taken advantage of.

So remember, you've got to set the stage and you've got to set the stage so that

you're not going to be walked all over.

And so maybe this is a lesson that you can learn from listening to episode seven

of and just like that fans' podcast.

All right.

Moving on.

so side note, before we move on, Charlotte's got a little story

here and if it could be even more interesting, Charlotte says as Demi

Lovato would say, sorry, not sorry.

Charlotte.

I do have to say that you are stepping up your game in episode seven because

you're being a little bit more interesting than kind of like your.

I have to do everything within the roles, kind of mind frame.

And it's a little bit shocking.

And I think even here he is shocked because Harry is not

used to you acting this way.

So I think this is a whole new Charlotte.

And I wonder Charlotte, if all of this is happening because she got this new

friend and maybe you are trying to be like her, maybe you're influenced by her.

I don't know, but it just.

And I actually feel bad for Harry because he's at this charity event

and they have all these items that they're auctioning off and he says out

loud, are there any couples counseling sessions that I could bid on here?

So Harry hang in there, things will get better.

some Miranda's at this event and she's talking to Carrie about her sex life

with Steve, and she basically describes it as a patient being non-responsive.

That's really not what you want to hear when it comes to SCX.

So, I think that Miranda, you and Steve and the whole.

Sex thing.

I don't think that's going to go anywhere.

Even the marriage thing is not going anywhere.

I don't know why you're even there with them.

So we'll see what happens.

Oh, Miranda.

I don't think your marriage is going to be a real marriage anytime soon.

So you might have to think of going your separate ways and maybe looking

for a marriage that comes with this.

so at this charity event, Lisa's husband is the MC and he's quite

irritated with her that he has to keep telling her to put the microphone up

to her face so that the audience at the event can hear what she's saying.

And they know what items to bit off.

And I think he's had to tell her, like so many times he's

just so irritated with her.

You can't blame him.

And then just like that guess who comes to rescue the mic?

Okay.

It is Che chase, supposed to be performing at the event and she

opens up with a one-liner and she says, oh, since you're not using the

microphone, I'll just take it from you.

That was a good one.

But wait, hold on.

Veranda was busy talking to Carrie, but then Miranda realizes that Shay's here.

And when Miranda hears her voice, she's like, oh, she's performing.

And she leaves Carrie in mid sentence in prances over to where she is.

And she couldn't even wait half a second to say.

let's talk about this later.

I mean, she's just like, oh my God.

Like there she is.

And just like that, if the party couldn't get worse, Carrie sees

her date from the other night, Mr.

Barf guy, and she puts her head down and she's trying to hide.

Anthony comes over and she's telling Anthony about the situation.

And for those of us who live in a big city, it is quite common

to run into an ex-boyfriend.

And even in a pandemic, you may run into them and even with a mask on, you might

think, oh, they might recognize me.

So have you ever seen one of your Xs at the grocery store and just decided

that you have to go hide or you have to go run to a different aisle

further away, so he doesn't see you?

Yeah.

True story.

I've had to do.

During a pandemic.

And I was like, no, no, no, I do not want to see this guy.

So let me just kind of sneak from the aisles and see what

direction he's going in.

And let me go to the other side of the grocery store.

Let me not go check out until he's gone.

I know you guys have had that happen too, but, uh, life in a big city and

I'm sure in a small town, it would be just the same when it comes to.

and you got to love how Carrie just sends Anthony on this little field trip

to make sure that our date from the other night leaves the building he's

gone so that she can have a sense of.

But Anthony failed the test, which you will find out later.

All right.

So then Miranda goes over to where she is, but she's talking to some of

her fans and she does notice her, but I think Miranda is feeling insecure

because she did not immediately come over to her, but she did notice her and.

Then when Miranda walks away, Shay excuses herself from talking

to the fans and she comes over to Miranda and says, Hey, Rambo.

But the problem is at this point, Miranda is just feeling a certain

way about the whole situation.

And she begins to act a little weird.

She's basically being very short and very cold and, you

know, she's like pretty smart.

So she's like, okay, well, you know, what's with this

attitude, like what's going on.

And then Miranda's like, oh, I called an Uber already.

And basically shake questions, Miranda and Miranda response.

Well, IDM you, but I never heard from you.

And Shay says that, well, I get a lot of DMS and you know,

I, I must have not seen it.

And I don't even remember what happened yesterday, because most of the time,

smoking pot and she's like, I don't remember what happens yesterday.

Let alone in three months.

so then Shay says, well, you know, you could have, you could have DMD me again.

And I thought that was interesting that she said that because I don't

know, like, I guess of Miranda has like any sense of self-respect and pride.

Maybe she shouldn't be chasing.

But then you're kind of saying that she should be chasing you.

So, I mean, I don't know, I think that it's two-sided right.

And I think that if, if she did reach out to you and even if you

never got her a message, if you were interested in Miranda, you could

have reached out to her as well.

Right.

And I just think that I don't know, ashamed.

Do you just want to be chased like a.

And then Shane tells Miranda that she wants to go somewhere with her

and take off all of her clothes.

And Miranda's like, oh my Uber's here.

And they get an Uber together.

So basically they ended up hooking up and that was that.

And then, so in the next scene, Charlotte and Harry are on their way

to the restroom, at the charity event and Lisa and her husband are arguing

those time tables turn interesting.

So now basically they're the couple that everyone's going to

be like, oh, you're that couple.

So I'm sure Charlotte and Harry are a little bit relieved that

they're no longer the couple.

And while all of this is going on, Anthony is trying to discreetly

escort carry outside of the event before she gets spotted by Mr.

Puke.

And of course, miss goody two-shoes Charlotte has to stop her and

say, oh, you can't leave now.

Like, why are you going?

And just as they're having this conversation, Is actually part

of the auction and she is supposed to be auctioned off as a date.

And, basically they announced it as a date with sex writer, Carrie bread.

you know, Kerry's a little bit ticked that this is how they are presenting this.

So it's not even a lunch date, they're saying a date and then they're calling

her sex writer and it just not how she wanted to be perceived for this auction.

And so she's a little pissed off at Charlotte of how they

positioned the whole package.

That's going to be auctioned off.

And Charlotte says, well, I was only on the gathering committee

and I wasn't on the program.

Charlotte, you always have an answer for everything, don't you?

My dear.

And so then the auctioneer comes on and he says, oh Carrie, that's you.

I see you're right there.

Why don't you come up?

And you can tell from the look on Carrie's face, she really doesn't

want to, but then she has no choice.

So once again, she's gotten herself in this predicament where she

has to go up and she has to do something she doesn't want to do.

Oh, Carrie, I feel free to girl.

And it was interesting, the only person that bid on Carrie was

someone that raised her hand.

But actually they weren't raising her hand to bid on carry.

They were raising their hand to say that there's, a wet floor

or broken glass on the floor.

And so they weren't really bidding.

And then Anthony tells Charlotte that she'd better do something.

So Charlotte being Ms goody-goody and panicky panicky starts

bidding and she says $700.

And then she goes to 800.

And then the auctioneer says, Charlotte, now you're bidding against yourself.

Yeah, she sure is.

And then the wackiest thing happens because Carrie raises her hand

and she wants to bid a thousand dollars on her own package.

I mean, that's just interesting, but I get it because basically Kerry's

attitude is like, get me the hell out of here as fast as you can.

I don't want to be here any second longer.

And then out of the blue, Carrie gets a real bid for drum roll 1,050.

So you guys heard that right?

$50 more than she'd been on herself.

The guests of the bitter is it is not Mr.

Knight in shining armor.

It is Mr.

Puke from the night before.

So it's Mr.

Mathematician, AKA Mr.

Puke, her date from the other night that threw up on her sheet.

And he's telling her that she really doesn't have to go on a date

with him, but she was like, oh, I know, but you did bid and you

know, you don't have to pay for it.

I can just pay for it.

And then she decides, well, what the hell?

It's for charity?

It's for a good, cause I'll just go on a lunch date and I'll say

yes, and it can't be that bad.

And then in the last scene, Carrie walks into her apartment

and she gets a text message.

And it's Peter?

Yes.

Peter is his name.

This is the same guy we're talking about Mr.

Mathematician and Mr.

Puke by.

Let's just be a little more refined now because we've made fun of him and

we've done the fun and jokes, but she's going to have to meet him in real life.

So we need to be nice this time.

So Peter says, looking forward to date number two, and just like

that, Carrie found her a glimmer of.

Which is how episode seven opened up.

She was supposed to find that glimmer of hope.

And that is interesting.

That was the ending.

And then also it showed Carrie sitting at her laptop looking out the window.

But the difference is this time she found a glimmer of hope.

See you guys next time.
