Say hello to Samantha.
Hi there.
Samantha built a SaaS platform that helps small businesses manage their workflow,
but she needed a smarter way to reach decision makers.
That's where ACAST came in.
They helped me produce a professional audio ad,
which played to business owners and ops leads
using their audience attributes targeting tools.
Suddenly, my platform was showing up in the ears of the exact people I needed to reach.
Now that's streamlined marketing, Samantha.
What's your tip for scaling smart?
Solve a real problem and make sure the right people hear about it.
Promote your business with podcast ads on ACAST.
at go.acast.com slash advertise.
Yeah, good.
Okay, it's going away forever.
This just in, and just like that, it's gone.
Yeah.
No more.
Two episodes left, I think.
Here's to you.
I'm drinking up spates in your honour, Mattress Pikelet King.
Happy to see it.
How do you feel about that?
The correct call.
Put her down.
This fucking horse has been hobbling on a broken leg for probably two and three-quarter
seasons and it is
fantastic to see them put this
little Philly out of its misery
Wow
You know
Show's no good guy
Look
What would they say in 30 Rock?
Shut it down
I haven't seen 30 Rock
Shut it down
I understand 30 Rock is good
Look
Sort of the inverse of the show
If you can imagine such a thing
I don't think that the show is
Good
I don't think the show's bad
I think the show is the show
and while I'll be sad not to see
a fresh season on the horizon
I think it does feel like the right time
Do you know what as well
If people are so goddamn desperate to see more of these adventures
You can make your own on AI now
That's the beauty of it
Wow
Just fucking get fan fiction yourself up some more
And just like that
Just Google up another season of this if you want
And you can add your own little twist and turns
I will say it adds credence
To the Carrie and Aiden theory
That I was sort of positing
the metaphor.
Yeah.
Because as soon as they killed the relationship,
they were like, yeah, by the way,
that does represent the show.
We are breaking up with you, the viewer.
Yeah.
And what killed me in this episode
and, you know, it's like,
okay,
Carrie's entitled to do whatever she wants.
But it's like, everyone was like,
Carrie, you and this guy, man, there's energy.
And she's like, can you fuck off?
There's literally no fucking energy.
And then finally, runway's clear, you know, the plane's getting waved in.
And she's like, oh, yeah, that guy, yeah, the guy that everyone was saying, I want to fuck.
Absolutely, I'm going to fuck him.
It's like, okay, awesome.
But I don't know.
It's so flimsy to me to bury the whole relationship with Aiden, with other reasons, of course,
but on the back of him being like, so what's going on with this guy?
And then she's like, nothing, literally the next episode.
Everything feels so disrespectful.
The other big bit of news from the outside world
of not watching the show
is that, and I didn't get the full details,
please feel free to Google this as I talk.
Kim Cottrell was offered,
apparently a considerable amount of money
to be in this season.
I assumed to try and rescue the show
and she turned it down
and is receiving correctly
huge accolades for this.
I want to congratulate Kim Cottrell
on her decision-making ability,
impeccable judgment.
And I would say as well,
you know considering this is an HBO production
that is getting huge numbers on the streaming platforms
she probably turned down quite a lot of money
to keep her scruples
I understand that
this season's premiere
was down 7% on season 2's premiere
the episode the numbers
and season 2
it was yeah down 7%
guys a big ratings guy
down 7% on season 2
and down 64% on season 1
people aren't like them what they're seeing
The the trajectory is not good
Can we go through all the pots and pans of this episode
Because it's like
They've announced the show's ending right
And we already knew this season was ending
And they just refused to stop introducing
New bits and pieces for us to kind of deal with
And it feels fucking irresponsible
It was like to reintroduce Steve
Who is Steve comes out and fucking I
We're right at the start of this episode
A balm for our times
I'm so happy to see Steve.
It was awesome.
And you think, here is this like lovely, mild-mannered kind of easy, breezy, you know, spelling, sleazy, mayor of New York's CD kind of guy.
He's back.
This is a momentous occasion.
Brady wants to talk to his mom and dad.
Brady's back.
Everyone's together.
Can I tell you something as well?
Sam Tricani was sitting in this chair right here an hour ago when I watched the episode in this moment transpired.
And two seconds before Brady
See what he said, I said
He got someone pregnant
And Brady said the words,
I got someone pregnant
Sam just read, what?
That's awesome.
I said, I am so in tune with the shot.
Yeah, you really are.
So yeah, Brady announces that
He's not in a relationship,
it's just someone he's been having casual sex with.
Steve, honestly, I think,
like, to me,
to continue with the pots and pans metaphor,
he put the Steve pot on the stove
and then he just could not.
not find the hob to turn it down because he was like blowing up complete like not just
out of proportion for the moment I thought but also out of out of keeping with the character I've
met of Steve Steve did blow up I think Miranda when she was leaving him which again but I was like
this is this is crazy there's no well again this is back to what you said a few episodes ago where
the writers are passing the script around and it's like that game where you draw a bit of the
monster and then fold the paper so they can't see what's coming first but
Because there's actually a very neat little arc where the reason why Steve is reacting so badly is
because this is mirroring exactly what happened with Stephen Miranda's relationship.
But that's never kind of returned to.
So we just get this disproportionately angry Steve who initially we're delighted to see.
And now we're confused as to why he's so pissed off.
But there isn't that connective moment of him going, I'm sorry I overreacted.
It's because I was fearful you would fall into this difficult situation I was in.
We get none of it.
Instead, we can fucking seemer going to Adam's party.
but she's paying $900 a month for which is crazy because it is beautiful yeah that was
Cema claiming he's got mum issues but she doesn't that honestly that storyline was one of the
sort of more I'd almost argue plausible or like in the world of what has been introduced
you know if I'm following along with the tasting menu I'm like yeah it makes sense that
you're putting this in front of me because you've been sort of addressing this and talking about
this for fucking nine episodes now whereas the like the the the the the
Brady getting someone pregnant, okay, we all know Brady fucks.
We've been saying it since he was like fucking five.
We get it, okay?
Brady fucks, Steve comes in to blow up and then they're like, this guy's septic.
We need to keep him out of the room.
Yeah.
Teeing up Miranda for a storyline where she stalks down, the guy that, the woman's
that Brady's been having casual sex with pretends to have a hair appointment and then
bails her out for not getting a paternity test for the dad.
Yeah.
It's so crazy. It's almost fun. It's close to fast, but it's just annoying is what it is.
And the character is annoying. I don't like Miranda. I've not enjoyed Miranda at all.
I'm so, I'm sorry. Obviously, we've come to the news late and this record is, you know, four or five days out of step with the release schedule of the show, obviously the announcement.
But I'm interested in how the news colored your experience of watching it.
because part of me thought, oh, well, surely watching this is going to be nostalgia.
I'm going to have roast into glasses.
I'm going to be looking upon this show.
You're a fucking madman.
You're, I don't know what's gotten into you when it comes to this show.
But it's like, you're a man of good taste and judgment most of the time.
And just like that has cast some insane spell on you, which I've been lured into at times.
Yeah.
And I feel like the announcement it was over is broken at.
And I'm like, you know what?
Everyone, you're right.
This does fucking suck.
I might do a whip around of like,
because we both have myriad friends who have been following along.
People who have fans of the franchise
and who have just done it out of pure fan service or curiosity,
I'd love to know what's the drop-off?
You know, how many people are trudging through these last ones?
Because I think you'll see, knowing that it's the very end.
Everyone's back in.
Yeah, completionists.
Like, there's an opportunity to finish this.
Yeah, this is a smart business move from their point of view.
Like, they're hemorrhaging money.
I assume.
I don't know how money works when it comes to streaming stuff.
I don't know.
Neither do I.
But if you want to get people back on the boat,
you tell them this boat
is struck an iceberg and is sinking.
The news had no bearing.
That's not how you get people back on a boat.
This metaphor hasn't worked at all.
The news had no bearing on your experience of watching the episode.
It was a relief.
It was a relief because there is a...
You Can't Hurt Me vibe.
There's like an...
And just like that...
has an infinite quality to it where you feel like not only have they to bring back to the horse
thing they've flogged a dead horse for so long now by all sensible judgment what they did
is made an incredible television show in the 90s going into the early 2000s I think and if you
had discipline and honor you would accept all your accolades and everyone to wrap it up and it would
be this, it's not quite the Sopranos, but it is a culturally significant, universally
lauded bit of television.
But instead they go, fucking greedy.
They got those doll signs in their eyes and they made two awful movies, which we spent
a year watching each.
And then they went back to the fucking trough a third time with this show.
And then my sense is that what Mattress Park Club was doing is all these pots and pans
is he's trying to establish a way to pass it on to the next generation.
So I was expecting this whole spin-off as like, Lily.
and rock
and rock's here
and now Rock's doing tap dancing
for no reason
why is that in this episode
just to stress Charlotte out
just to give Charlotte another character
yeah yeah
Charlotte's got enough on to be stressed about
I mean I do understand
the way the winds of popular culture are blowing
you know it's it's a safer bet
financially and in terms of
built an audience to just
for these retreads for
intellectual property to be
repackaged and distributed
This is a problem
This is very metaphysical man
It's it's philosophical
It's metaphysical
It's big issue
Because now we're in a situation
We caught a picture of big this week
By the way
Howdy?
Up to date?
Yeah
How's he looking?
Shirtless in a park
Eyes closed
Meditating maybe
Okay
Okay
Asleep
Certainly at his eyes closed
What park?
Didn't know
What country?
I think it was in New York.
The country of New York.
Yeah.
We're living in a time where anything that has a reasonable budget or above
is a rehash of an existing intellectual property.
The most dominant technology of our time,
which has drawn in all of the finances that are swishing around the world
trying to find the next best bet is going into artificial intelligence.
The only product that seems exciting about AI
in this current moment is generative AI.
Generative AI is nothing but a rehash of old material
spat back out in a slightly angled way
to whatever your prompt is.
There is a naval gazing, inward focused,
nostalgia-loving,
fearfulness of the future,
which this show represents
that is completely toxic
for the human species.
it is it is poisoning us in our minds
it is taking away from our lust for the future
that we once held
in the 60s
JFK said we will put a man on the moon
and we will do in this decade
and he said it like that and he said
and we will do the other things not because they are easy
but because they are hard
and then someone shot JFK in the head
and he died and they went to the moon anyway
and they did do it in that decade
nothing like that's going on now
Now we're just thinking about the 60s and the 70s.
There's no future focus.
Everything's a retread.
This show sucks.
I was fearful it would go on forever.
Perhaps it will in some AI sense.
I have a moment of relief that they've announced that this version of it's dead.
You paint a very grim picture because the only respite that you have outlined in the very coherent sort of thesis you put forward is purely the relief that this show will soon no longer exist.
in any new capacity.
We need new ideas.
We need new ways of thinking.
They're not going to come from Carrie Bradshaw.
You understand what I'm saying?
Miranda Hobbs can't help me now.
Charlotte, and weirdly, I have massively gravitated towards Charlotte in this season.
But that's neither here nor there,
because Charlotte also cannot help me figure out
how we're going to fight climate change.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Climate change doesn't exist in the world of this show.
this show is meant to keep your eye off climate change
well yes exactly
and that isn't that the problem
isn't that the whole issue
it's sort of it's like
it's spending too long on your phone
isn't it the idea is good
you know the visualization
of it is that you will do this thing
and at the end of it you will feel good in some way
you will feel enlivened or refreshed
that you took a moment out of
the reality of your life
to sort of do something that's just for you
and then at the end of it
you think fuck
did I just spend 45 minutes doing that
I just lost 45 minutes doing that
and I don't think I feel better for it
so I would say
the metaphor for that
is this show existing
as sort of being on your phone
and the allure is like
look at all the money we'll make
because people love this franchise so much
we all need to be Kim Cottrell
in this current moment
we all need to be clear-eyed
brave, turn our nose up at the sort of sugar hit of a financial reward and see the bigger picture
here. The thing we're dealing with is dog shit. We need to go a different direction. Kim Ketrell,
you're a hero, you're a saint, you're a visionary. You're who we all need to be. Hopefully
yes, we, Kim Kattrell. It's incredible to think that of everyone's sort of legacy or standing
in the eyes of popular culture
you know
through the three seasons of end
just like that existing.
The person who stands to
and seemingly has gained the most
is the one who said,
I'm out,
who just stood on the sidelines
and didn't touch it.
And then's jazz, baby.
She loved to scat
and sometimes it's the shows you don't take.
That's what makes your career.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Samantha Jones stands tall.
I mean, they also did a good job
of killing off.
you know my hopes for that Michelle Obama cameo
oh yeah you think that's completely off the table now
I genuinely think that took it off the table this episode
because obviously Lisa Tom Wexley got kind of
she got a bit of the fucking old treatment in this episode
she did I put it through the ringer
she'd been like
pootling along
you know I suppose
with a somewhat favourable storyline
and piece of casting and then all of a sudden they're like
nut you're going to snap
you're going to also where's marian the whole i forgive me but the whole point of her
this is all leading up to her and marian something happening he's not even in this episode no marian
no hot editor marian no joy for some reason rock is tap dancing anthony and joseppe get a big
look at i mean we've got to get into that storyline justissippi storyline is just he's fucking crazy
story like I mean it's like again
it's just
it's fun
did you laugh
it's pretty psych I don't know
I just don't feel like I'm in safe hands
with it and it was
psychologically quite dangerous to
see Anthony and Giuseppe like
you know cut too
they're going at it they're hooking up
shirts are off they're in bed
there's like genuine intimacy taking place
and you think fucking we haven't seen this all season
I don't think I'm like that's great
I've seen Miranda have sex
I think.
Yeah,
not sex more broadly
but these characters
it's like,
yeah, that's right.
They fuck
and you think
that's right,
they do fuck
and then there's a fireman
shows up.
The mother storyline's been
completely abandoned by the way
but if she's gone
which is crazy
because a whole big bit
of her arc
is that she was extending
her time in New York City
we all were sort of led to believe
to continuously antagonize Anthony
but she's just gone
she pulled a knife on him
he's evaporated
she did pull it
She threw a knife at him.
Now she's not there anymore.
Yeah.
But anyway, they're at Anthony's,
and then there's been a gas leak or something,
and they've got to go.
And so they go to Giuseppe's,
and they're sort of,
they're sort of,
no, they've finished,
they've had sex.
So we are led to believe,
you know,
they don't show us the particulars,
but we match to guys chagrin.
You know, if I was a lesser man.
Yeah, I would assume that they've completed
in whatever form.
And they're lying in bed, sort of prone.
They've got their shirts off.
And Giuseppe's flatmate comes in, who's an old guy carrying like a marionette-style puppet,
which is a pretty striking likeness of Giuseppe.
It was an awesome entrance, I will say that, to just have an absolutely fucking crazy.
I don't know.
Now we're in the swing of all the pots and pans.
It's kind of like, now I check this shit out.
This guy is probably 60 years old and looks like he hasn't had a shower in three years.
And he is a very talented.
and dedicated puppet master.
And so he's made this puppet.
And Anthony does a classic so-and-so more like fucking Geppetto.
You know, just, you know, this guy's an old puppeteer.
His name's Andrew.
We can silo off this storyline, basically, because that happens.
And then the next time we see them in my memory,
Anthony's talking about, do you want to move it?
Like, maybe we should move in.
Yeah.
You know?
Because he's so freaked out by puppet master, Andrew.
And Giuseba keeps telling him, the guy's asexual.
He's, like, you don't need to worry about feeling three.
written by him.
He's not attracted to me.
He's asexual.
He says it many, many times.
But then the coda to this particular storyline was Giuseppe walking down the hallway
of his own home.
After Anthony said, we should move in together and him saying, we should, but not now.
Which is nice.
Yeah.
Tasteful.
Classy.
Walks down his hallway.
Here's a strange sound.
Peers his head into puppet master Andrew's room.
And he is furiously masturbating.
staring at the puppet that he has made of Giuseppe,
which is terrifying.
And again, like, it's not a comedy beat.
It's too scary.
And I don't have enough faith in the show.
To me, it was a comedy beat because, you know,
none of this is real.
Yeah.
He's a puppet master.
Puppets are scary.
A guy who dedicates his life to puppets is scary.
The guy looks scary absentee absentee any puppeteering at all.
and then like someone furiously masturbating over a handmade image of their housemate is scary.
Yeah, but Giuseppe, you know, credit to him, Giuseppe looks at Puppet Giuseppe,
Papa Giuseppe looks at Giuseppe, Giuseppe looks at Puppet Giuseppe,
he walks back in and he says, we should move in now.
And it's, you know, and it did stress me out that the guy was doing that with his door open.
Yeah, it was crazy stuff.
But that was, you know, that was a bit of fun.
But yeah, to go back to the abandoning of the Michelle Obama.
So two things have happened.
We're not going to see the piss pants photo on Instagram, whatever.
No hearing in this episode whatsoever.
A little bit.
He's watching the game.
Oh, is that really loud.
And, yeah, because Charlotte's getting counselling from fucking Susie from Kirby enthusiasm.
She won a psychic energy cleanse in an auction.
I'm guessing at her own place of work.
She accidentally won an auction, yeah.
And she has to keep rescheduling because there's,
what do they call it in America when you get stuff done to your house?
She's got contractors around doing a renovation.
In New Zealand we do it ourselves badly.
And it never is completed.
Yeah.
Or no, you got contractors in to build this very studio.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
And it got completed.
Yeah.
And you had to bump your psychic appointments for a while when that was having as well.
It did. It's true.
Yeah.
It's just going to have them in here.
but yeah it's
Charlotte's doing that
Harry's you know
he's sort of in recovery mode
he's watching his game
he's just harrying around
and
Lisa Tom Wexley at one point
they're going to Herb's running for city
control
city comptroller
they go to a big event
and then we see them going down the lift
it's the election
yeah
yeah the big event is whether he's going to win
or not and be comptroller
we don't see any of it
it's been building for a whole season
we've been to fucking campaign events
That's a good point.
That didn't occur to me.
Take me there.
I want to go.
We don't have time.
I want to see it.
See the whole family going down in the elevator.
Cut two.
The whole family coming up in the elevator.
Vives changed.
And everyone's like, what the fuck?
You lost?
Yeah, I know it sucks.
That was funny.
That was your comedy beat.
Specifically for how hard they wrote Mother Wexley,
where she says to her son,
who just narrowly it would seem lost for the city comptroller of New York City.
why would you ever run for something
you weren't sure you were going to win
a hell of a line in anyone's book
A crazy way to parent
And she was chastising Lisa Todd Wexley
Moments ago
For yelling at her daughter
For losing a hamster
In the house
Some sort of pet rodent
Leading a hamster out of the hamster
Cage
I missed the easy breezy 30 minute episodes
At 40 something it felt long
None of what we have talked about so far
none of what we've talked about so far
is even the main bit of this episode
which is what's happening with Carrie Bradshaw
and Duncan...
Give me a break.
Duncan Mountbatten.
I walked in as they were hooking up
and you were visibly disgusted.
Yeah, because...
Sorry to cut you off.
No, no.
I was disgusted because it was like
the one cool thing
that I thought the episode had done
which is that Carrie
I don't know if you're disgusting.
at her twilight years quite yet but you know she's 60 something she's and and she's uh
she voiced i thought this was actually really interesting thread that she's voicing with her
friends the situation she's been in her entire life or essentially she's been um
you know viewed as a piece of meat by men and not as an intellectual pair or equal and this is
the first time in her entire adult life as a woman that a man has seen her as a
smart first and sort of beautiful, sexy second vis-vis Duncan.
And so Duncan takes Carrie Bradshaw to his own publishing event.
Or a publishing event for his publisher.
It turns out to be his ex-wife, I think.
His publisher's his ex-wife, that's right.
They meet.
She's a big Carrie Bradshaw fan.
Fine, whatever, boring.
Then we go back.
Everyone, well, sorry, Duncan's had a few drinks.
Carrie hasn't.
Duncan makes a pass at Carrie.
basically he just says do you want to go downstairs
and fuck by the way
I'm finished writing for the night
and she says no
and I'm like
great I'm like
I was actually annoyed at what a good decision
it was by the show writers
because I was like that is the correct
decision and this is the first interesting
thing you've done
but Carrie Bradshaw is sort of
really reckoning
with like herself
as you know
an intellectual being and
trying to fight against how she's been
perceived from the male gaze her entire life.
Yeah, she was going to go back.
And then, like, 20 seconds later, literally she, you know,
Duncan says good night because it's not going to happen.
I'm like, oh, damn, the show got one right.
Fuck.
And then, Carrie, like, runs downstairs and yells at him so that they will fuck to undo
all of the good work everyone tripped over in this episode.
I was furious.
I was pretty, I was like, yeah, I didn't, I think I sighed and rolled my eyes as well.
It's not what I wanted to happen, but they sort of, at least they hammered it, they were like, yep, they had, well, again, I said in a previous episode, I wanted to see PNV, no such thing, we trust, maybe they just went downstairs, took their clothes off and they got so knackered and they were underneath the sheet.
At a minimum, they're wrapping this whole thing up. This show was sex in the city originally.
that is its genesis form wouldn't it be interesting for the conclusion of this whole universe
to be that Carrie Bradshaw realizes that she's been kind of entirely a sexual being
with all of her male relationships except for her gay male friends her entire life
and she's finally found one Stanford Blatch by the way
I believe is still managing a Japanese pop artist or something
just thought they
flicked him off to do
when the actual actor died in season one
yeah you got to
we should get a letter or something
he was married to Anthony
we watched that wedding
so many times
we did
Liza Manelli's still with us
huh
yeah Liza Manelli has now
outlived it just like that
not yet
no yeah touch wood
touch all the word
but that will be
be a big one.
I wish Twitter was still charging
so I could fucking take a good look
at the day that one gets published.
They should bring back
Liza Manelli. If we can't have
Michelle Obama, I think Liza Manali
is a fantastic second place prize.
Because they fucking just randomly
cut the city comptroller
storyline dead. That
was the only window on which I thought we were going to
meet Michelle Obama.
Oh, it's the movie though.
Lisa Todd Wexley's documentary is about powerful
black unsung black woman
famously Michelle Obama
They said Tom Wexley's documentary
Can fucking get in
All of it can get in the bin
I'm sort of like I've come around
I'm tired
He forgot his mega hat today
But don't leave that for you
I'm not quite
Guy's over it
I'm not quite myself
No I'm not just over her documentary
For the record
I'm over the way I'm being treated
by this fucking program
I've come around
I keep trying
I keep I come with a lot of great ideas
and I've been flinging them
hither and thither and hither again
I've been putting them out into the world
I know you're filming this week to week
take one you fucking cowards
take one and run with it
Did you ever shining light at all
This week
This episode
Yeah
Yeah it's the guy jerking off to the puppet
It's so good eh
I there was kind of mine
Mine specifically was the puppet
Because I like that someone had to make that
Yeah
You know the art department had to put together
A beautiful little puppet
That looked like the guy
Giuseppe
What did Sarah Jessica Parker
I can say about the end of the show.
What do you mean?
Oh, publicly?
Yeah.
I can't remember exactly, but I just saw like a joint statement, I think.
Oh, I think I saw a Mattress Park called its official statement.
Well, no, like, you know, it must be a big moment for people.
For who?
For mattress or for us?
For fans, for us.
Is this big for you?
No.
You're the only fan in the room.
There are fans who are bigger than me.
Fans who go back to the non-canonical original series.
I don't know if that's true.
I don't know if anyone who genuinely enjoyed
and just like that is a wholly
it's like on board with where we are right now
I think there is a combination of
irony,
hate watching, nostalgia
I don't think anyone
that was a big fan of the original series
is still really fucking juiced on
and just like that season three episode 10.
I'm still actually
I'm still pissed that they went to all
trouble to get that
aden relationship on the boil
and then just fucking piss it.
It took nine episodes to piss it down the train.
The fact that he's not like
there's kind of not literally
but basically Nari a mention of him
in this episode.
This is a big thing.
What are the chances?
Can we not grieve?
What are the chances that carry
so the, so okay
Aiden's gone.
Big's dead.
Big's dead.
Duncan's gone back to London.
you really think Duncan's getting on that plane
that's one thing I respected about it
is I reckon he is going back to London
because I think
Oh sweet summer child
I think they knew the writing was on the wall somewhat
So I think that they haven't they haven't teed this up
To end in a way which would like
This has to end in a satisfying enough way
That they were cognizant
They might not get a fourth season
And I think to
Put a lot of faith
to do that in a way that satisfies both the audience man just like that
and the broader audience of the sex and the city universe
Carrie has to end it on her terms she has to end it independent of any
you know she has to define herself worth as herself
she almost did at this episode yeah almost but they had to have sex with Duncan
before we went back to the UK yeah so here's what I'm asking you
okay Duncan's gone actually I'll tell you you're shining light
Duncan with his shirt off there's no need for
for a writer to be that musley.
I'm so sick of how strong
they're making everyone.
Why is everyone so strong?
Dungan's gone. Big's dead.
Aiden's over.
We haven't seen the jeweller
who carry semi-bequithy her apartment two
since like episode one or two.
But she was meeting someone
in an early episode.
Look, all I'm saying,
what are the odds on
Carrie
finishing the season
the series
the experience
back in her old apartment
oh yuck
what do you reckon
I would feel like going backwards
to me
a viewer of the show
and for her Carrie Bradshaw
what would even lead to that
because she's in a mansion now
that she inherited
thanks to Palaton.
She didn't inherit it.
She bought it with Aiden.
The mansion?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, okay, well.
Inherited the money.
Through a Palaton disaster.
I think,
she was in the garden.
She was happening in her garden.
I just think, I just, I don't know.
You want to see her back in?
I don't want to see it.
I just think it's possible.
Okay.
Okay.
She never fucking put her feet.
She's never nestled into that house,
that enormous house.
you're right about that
I just
and all that
like Aiden and Duncan
with the two
you know
aside from the idea
that she might
actually love it
which I don't get
the sense she does
with a reason
that she was
there
Swopsy's back
with the jeweler
the jeweler now
in here
it's that huge
mansion
Carrie Ratcher
is just teeing up
this jeweler
with an incredible
start to life
remember the fun
we have
when that jewler
threw her phone
over her shoulder
or something
and she's like
did I just do that
that was awesome
in the bar
yeah
that was great
season two
That was this season
Was it?
Yeah, yeah
Bring her back
She was fun
Here's who I want to hang out with
Kill everyone
Get rid of them all
Except Charlotte's workmates
What about this
I'd love to spend the second
To last episode
Just hanging out with those gals
What about
Brady's offspring
We don't have time for this
And just like that
The third to last episode
You're ever going to make
And you would have known
A little bit
That could have been on the cards
and you're introducing Brady has a kid on the way.
I guess we're going to see the...
What is going to happen next episode?
Do you think they're going to forget
that Brady's going to get on the way?
Because I think that is like 50%.
I'm giving...
I'm giving the magic...
I'm giving the tasting spoon to you.
Okay?
I'm giving you mattress platelets tasting spoon.
You look upon your bounty of 40 to 50 pots and pans
that you've got either simmering, boiling or not cooking it all right now.
Yeah.
You look upon all of your hobbs and all of your cookery and crockery.
What sort of satisfying flavor combination are you going to pull together?
I want to see Steve become a grandfather.
That's what you want to see?
Yeah.
Okay.
I want to see him hold that baby.
I need five.
I need five to put this baby to rest.
So we got Steve becoming a grandfather.
I've got such bad recall.
This is going to really stretch my legs.
You can reach for anything.
I'm trying to remember what else is.
on the boil.
I want to see Lily
and her dancer boyfriend
in the polyamorous relationship.
That's back on.
I want to explore that next episode.
I would very much like,
and this is not just recency bias,
I love tap dancing,
and I want to go to Rock's recital.
You want to spend a lot of time
with the supplementary flavors and characters.
Don't talk about the goldenblats like that.
They're an important part of this kitchen.
Yeah.
Two more
I want
Yeah
Steve to be a grandfather
And I want
Hmm
I quite like joy
And I don't think
She should be with Miranda
Okay
I think the next episode
Would be quite fun
If we see Miranda
Continually do what she was doing
In this episode
Which is
Try in the worst way possible
To figure out some sort of connection
To the woman
that Brady's gotten pregnant
and Joy like sort of sees her doing it
and it's like,
you're crazy
and I don't want to be with you anymore
because of how crazy you are.
I hope that happens.
That would be cool.
So that's four.
And then one more.
Don't mind if I do.
Imagine if Kathy's involved.
Was that Aidan's?
Yeah.
Wyatt, Homer and
the other one's mum.
The Wyatt stuff was so intense
and then they just flicked Aiden
so Wyatt's gone too.
Yeah, but now he's back.
Okay.
Kathy's back seeking more drugs
from Carrie in the big city.
Man, to hear all this stuff,
they must have so many exciting opportunities this season.
acquiesces and Carrie gets caught
in the last episode of in just like that,
the end of Carrie Bradshaw's story
is her getting caught.
by alcohol, tobacco, and firearms,
the ATF in America
and going to federal prison
for taking prescription drugs across state lines,
drug trafficking, for Kathy, for Wyatt.
She has made the ultimate sacrifice
because their little spares couldn't sort himself out.
And now she's going to jail for a long time.
It's a dramatic end of the show.
It's a Seinfeld-esque finale.
They've got a lot of heat for.
for putting the characters in prison.
I don't know.
Is there how Seinfeld ended?
Yeah.
What happened?
In the last episode,
all of the characters who were wronged
by the core four in Seinfeld appeared
as a like a parade of witnesses in court.
And they laid out all the things and then they ended in prison.
That's awesome.
I want to see like,
I want for some reason I want,
I want the characters to have to walk through Times Square.
And they walk past and they walk past the comedy club.
And Shade Deer.
As walks out with Rosie O'Donnell's nun on their arm
And they're like madly in love
Yes
Like all of the characters who this show picked up and fucked off
Yeah
Have all found a way to band together
It's like how heaven is always depicted in TV shows
Where you come in, it's all these people you saw
Like three seasons ago
And you're there and you're there
And you're there
And everyone's happy except for
Carrie
Miranda
I wish nothing but the best for Charlotte
and good on you, Samantha, you got out of there.
I guess Seema, what do you think is going to happen when Seema and Adam?
The Sima and Adam story is quite sweet.
I think that's going to be the hopeful,
that's the hopeful romantic note in terms of new romance.
Yeah.
I think Seema is,
Seema has undergone like quite an interesting and positive trajectory in this season.
And the character has warmed up.
She has had to let go of, you know, some of the presentation.
components of her personality, the desire to be perceived in a specific way.
And I think in opening those parts of herself up to Adam,
she's actually experiencing closer to like a pure version of happiness.
Actually, you know, it would be a fun TV trope that they do for an episode sometimes is the drug trip.
Adam takes Seema on an ayahuasca experience.
Yeah.
Seema has to wrestle with early demons.
No, no, no.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's always more, isn't it?
Yeah, and it should be.
And it will continue to be for two more episodes only.
New York City Improv Watch, for me, I'm going to say,
if not Brady's baby mama,
certainly the receptionist who works at the hair salon.
I saw her, I thought, you got chops.
I think at this point that the New York City improv community's
probably not getting around the series
with the same intensity as they might have been in early episodes.
So I don't know that there's a lot of posting
about that moment but
just want to let you know Tim and Guy
saw you and we're proud of you
we respect you a lot and we respect you
look there's only two left of this
it would be interesting to see
what happens
where they go
what doesn't happen
you know
it's like
we've walked into the restaurant
we've looked into the kitchen
like we've walked to the restaurant we've looked around there's like one table we also forgot
Brady's going to be a chef yes that's right so we walk to the restaurant there's one table left
in the restaurant and we're like can we get a table and they go oh the kitchen's about to close
we look into the kitchen it is the busiest person you have ever seen or everything is being
used in the kitchen and we're like are you sure and they're like yeah chefs just revving it up
I'll end on this, I will say no more
But someone I saw Post Online
As part of the wider worst idea community
And they're dead right
So this is
After this episode came out
Before I had seen it
And Brady looks a fuck ton
Like the chef from Ratatoui
Yeah
And now he's learning to be a chef
And in just another wink and a nod
To go hey Tim and guy
Guess what?
We see you, we feel you
Here's a little gift for you
that is so money.
That's crazy.
Anyway, folks, we'll see you next week.
Thanks to everyone.
Thank you.
Peace and love.
We'll be making just two more episodes.
Thank you.
