Starting point is 00:00:00 Well, the first thing you've got to know, Tim, is I am so happy to be reunited with these characters, this universe, and to do it with my brother in arms is the cherry on top. We're back, baby. And just like that, the boys were off to the season two races. Giddy up, everybody. What a fucking doozy.
Starting point is 00:00:48 These women, I'll tell you this, and I don't want to get the season off on the wrong foot. What I find with these women is time comes for us all, them included. But that does not dim the ever-burning candle within them. And that candle is horny. It's one of the first things that we learn about these women in the studies. They are horny as all hell. You're so right about that.
Starting point is 00:01:13 Things change. Seasons change. Some people come in and out of our lives. But the one thing that will persist, Carrie Bradshaw, Miranda Hobbs. Hobbs, thank you very much. No worries. Charlotte Goldenblatt. Yeah. Hobbs, thank you very much. No worries. Charlotte, Goldenblatt. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:27 Knee York. Knee York. They want to fuck. These women want to fuck. There's lots of other characters too, and I've forgotten their names. I know. I'm just going to get them up. Yeah, that's a very good idea.
Starting point is 00:01:40 I think it would be nice. We've got Soma. Is that one? Seema. Seema. We've got Shays in the mix. There's a lot of people talking about and just like that. And I don't want to read any of it because I'm not up to speed yet.
Starting point is 00:01:53 And honestly, I'm protecting myself from other people's opinions and writing. Until I've caught up and I've said what I think. Yeah, cool. I don't want to fucking know. That's great, man. That's really great. It's been a minefield out there oh perusing the internet as we all want to do so good unironically it is exactly the sort of shit i like to feed into my system well let's talk about that guy here are the names here are the others by the way okay sema thank you lisa bless you so sema is the real
Starting point is 00:02:26 estate agent the wealthy real estate agent who sort of took on the role of uh carrie's new best friend i suppose in the previous season uh-huh uh lisa lisa todd is lisa the one who's a straight it's sort of her husband's on tour no no no no, no. That's Dr. Naya Wallace. That's Naya. Lisa is the very well put together woman. She makes documentaries. Yes. She's got an MFA and she lives to come.
Starting point is 00:02:58 She loves to come. But also, it's kind of annoying when it gets in the way of other things she has to do. Yeah, like cutting a documentary in Avid, which no one has done since 2007. Are you fucking kidding me? Where else do you think they cut corners in the scripting of this show? That wasn't a corner cut. That was a real pull-behind-the-curtain-and-reveal that the people writing this are old television people. They're a goddamn film.
Starting point is 00:03:26 But don't parts of the show scream young television people in the writer's room? Not really. I mean, the one person we haven't spoken about being reunited with and the introduction couldn't have whet my appetite more is everybody's favorite comedian, Shea Diaz. They are in a spa pool in Los Angeles in between working very hard on their pilot,
Starting point is 00:03:50 which sounds and looks like it's going to be a fucking disaster. Actually, this is perfect. So Guy once made a show with a very funny Australian comedian called Ray Badron for Comedy Central, which I sort of produced. Yeah. And it was called No Experience Necessary.
Starting point is 00:04:11 That is correct. And it was very ahead of its time. Henry Stone. Ray Badron. It was their brainchild. Yeah, the other instrumental creative component of it. And it was this somewhat meta almost in some ways like eric andre-esque without the like sort of america's funniest home video version of the
Starting point is 00:04:34 pranks it was a it was a faulty premise and that the conceit that sort of uh the rapper around the show was that ray wanted to make a sitcom but but he thought it was cheaper in New Zealand, so he flies to New Zealand. And then to cast the show, it's a sitcom about his life, instead of hiring actors because he spent all his money flying all of his equipment and everything over to New Zealand, he casts through Trade Me, which is Gumtree or Craigslist or whatever. And so the actual show, a lot of the footage involved him finding people
Starting point is 00:05:06 to play his family yeah so the other level of this was what you're seeing in this comedy series is people who responded to a real life ad yes to be in a sitcom um with no experience yeah often well all the people who made the cut i think had no previous acting that's right because they were the most interesting great It's great. It's fantastic. It really is. Ahead of its time, as I say. And the whole great thing about it was you knew that at the end of the
Starting point is 00:05:34 series you were going to get to see an episode of the sitcom. That's what I feel like this is for us. It's like there's all of this shit going on and you and I are just like, we gotta see Let's talk. Well, it's not there's all of this shit going on and you and i are just like we gotta see let's show let's talk well it's not called shay's show it's called well should be shay passa if i didn't miss here it's called shay passa i think that's right and i heard that during
Starting point is 00:05:56 the correspondence between shay and their writer yes who it seems to be haven't been communicating at all yeah i don't understand the mechanics of the production at all, but I just want to know, up top. Wait, that's a pun because que pasa is... Why? I don't know Spanish. But que pasa means something. I should look that up.
Starting point is 00:06:22 I don't have my phone. What I want to know is in the world of the show in the world of and just like that is Shay's comedy star
Starting point is 00:06:31 still on the rise or is the sitcom going to be a bomb it's going to be a bomb it's good tension the pilot sorry I mean we don't
Starting point is 00:06:42 it's not getting picked up it's not getting picked up it's not getting green light for season. I think you're right. I think in terms of plot... Yeah. I mean... Because in the relationship so far,
Starting point is 00:06:55 it's so good that we're getting real immediately. Or at least I am. I'll use I statements. Miranda has been sort of carried through this relationship, no pun intended By Shay Yeah Because they are brand new to this Having a romantic relationship with someone who's not a man
Starting point is 00:07:11 First time in their lives And Miranda is And Shay's polyamorous too if I remember correctly Yeah but not currently Like their relationship is monogamous Well I think Perhaps to hold Miranda's hand into this new frontier of dating and relationships,
Starting point is 00:07:30 it seems to be sort of focused on one another. So we've already had a fit. We'll get to this. And there's also this tension inside of it in this very first episode that we don't know what it's going to be. And then it's attributed to Shay having to go on a diet because of the wardrobe department,
Starting point is 00:07:44 which, I mean, it might have been intensive but i thought was ridiculous like i i just i wasn't buying that no i wasn't buying it at all it was kind of cheap and stupid i love this show but so what i think they're gonna do in this show is this is an opportunity for Miranda to be the support for Shay. Oh. So Shay's going to go through all of this emotional rigmarole with doing the best possible job they can for the pilot. And then it's not going to get picked up and they're going to fall to bits and Miranda's going to come in. And I would just like to say it's. I want Steve to arrive.
Starting point is 00:08:23 It's a delight that we've immediately gravitated towards Shea and I don't want to hang too much shit on them right out the gate and also it is bookmarked and clearly stated in the show that Shea's stand up is new material that Shea is working on right now and actually doesn't want Miranda to come and see them working out at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles but the one joke that we see Shay working on
Starting point is 00:08:47 is about how lazy they are in Los Angeles. And the only sort of, if you pass through the 30 seconds of screen time that the stand-up set gets, the only joke, clearly be demarked as a joke, is I'm so lazy in Los Angeles. Yesterday, I took an Uber from my bedroom to my bathroom,
Starting point is 00:09:13 and that's the closer. And guess what, everyone? It killed. It killed in the room. Brought the comedy store down. But is the show smart enough to be, to this early on be seeding the, you know, I mean, I'm imagining the Vanity Fair profiles, like the meteoric rise of Shea Diaz.
Starting point is 00:09:39 And, you know, I'm imagining all of this heat that's getting blown up the character. And I'm saying, is the show smart enough to show us us which is sort of what you're suggesting you know the um the air coming out of this no it's not it's not you don't think the show's smart i think i think shay's stand-up will continue to kill i think the pilot won't get picked up yeah but i don't think this show is going to be like shay you've lost your touch as a comedian. Your jokes are tired. It would be... I just think this show...
Starting point is 00:10:08 It would be too interesting for the show to pick up. I continue to find it just like that to be so disrespectful to the stand-up community. I think what's funny is you're trying so hard not to be, but you are vaguely offended by the depiction of stand-up in this dog shit show
Starting point is 00:10:25 shade is it's just like i mean and you know because peripherally i inevitably picked up on odds and ends about what's being said about the show and i remember because we get bombarded when whenever uh press release announcements are made like the fact that samantha's going to appear at some point in the season we found that out yes, did you see that she has a rival show that came out the same day on a different new work? No, I didn't see that. Kim Cattrall just has this other project. And so now people are like, holy shit, what a mastermind plan.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Yeah. Okay, I'll do the cameo, give me billions of dollars. And then even despite that, it was just a vehicle to promote her own get it both ways show i love it but uh oh what was i saying sorry oh no no it's okay oh shay this is what my brain's like. Shay has just... Oh, yeah, this is the other thing. So peripherally, we're getting a lot of news.
Starting point is 00:11:27 We're getting suspenders in it. And I copped a few strays about how Mattress Pikelet's been saying it's going to be a Shay heavy season. We've got a lot of chips on Shay. And I'm not surprised because Shay is both the worst and most interesting part about the show. And so it would make a lot of sense to put a lot, you know, and the sort of infuriating and fascinating, you know, character.
Starting point is 00:11:57 It's good fodder. It's good, you know, water cooler fodder. And the other line of dialogue that Shay has in the show, which just really leaped off the page and sang out to me was uh carrie so carrie this is this entire season is set three weeks after the conclusion of season one we didn't refresh ourselves so we were sort of picking up pieces of information putting it back together uh what was driving the plot of this first episode is that all of the characters are going to the met gala and they are all uh like impossibly there's even a bit i'm getting distracted we'll get to that
Starting point is 00:12:31 later but uh carrie is having a sort of a very sort of fixed and casual affair with her podcast producer who's this really hot guy whose name i can't remember doesn't matter and fuck every thursday yeah and she calls up shay because she's trying to case out what kind of guy he is because it feels like this guy's trying to turn it from just a very casual once a week thing to maybe something more introduced to some friends and she says what's he thinking and shay through the phone says he's a dude and shay who had a podcast called x y and Me or whatever it was. So someone who's like, you know, ostensibly an expert.
Starting point is 00:13:09 Like a commentator on relationships. And this is the feedback. He's a dude. So I have no idea what's up in that man head. Imagine writing that on a script. This is why it screams of young people. I just, I am positively giddy to be back in the saddle. Let's discuss a little more about the broader story of the episode
Starting point is 00:13:33 and what some of the other characters were up to. Well, as you mentioned, the cut and thrust of this episode is that the Met Gala is happening and everyone's getting prepared. And this leads to a lot of chaos and hilarity not least of which is the fact that um the fuck is his name Stanford Anthony yeah well done and it was honestly nice to see lift the lid on your brain and show us how the engine runs anthony is being brought by charlotte that's right however in classic tv sitcom style charlotte has not sort of clarified and she's been talking about her you know forthcoming appearance at the met gala and harry her husband thinks that he is coming
Starting point is 00:14:21 as her plus one harry known to listen listeners of the podcast as Runkle, but occasionally referred to as Harry. Yeah, sorry. They talk about him as Harry for some weird reason. There's a great comedic reveal where Charlotte goes home from a lunch and they were talking about it
Starting point is 00:14:35 and then Charlotte's kids are like, hey, you got a big problem. You got a big problem here. Dad thinks he's coming. Yeah. And then... And she's like, no, he doesn't. And then Runkle appears
Starting point is 00:14:44 looking like the Monopoly man with a big top hat on and a funny suit and he says I wrote it down because I like it so much Cheerio old chaps
Starting point is 00:14:55 it's so 90s sitcom the whole storyline and reveal it was brilliant it was brilliant and spoiler alert Anthony does get to go to the gala. He gets passed around like a mediocre potato salad at a potluck. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:15 I don't know where that came from. Honestly, no idea where it came from. We'll roll with that. It's really good. I mean, there's also, it's beautiful. So Naya. It's Naya, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:25 She's the doctor. Her one is the one that I think I'm the most interested in. So her husband? Semi-estranged husband. Is a musician. They've been together since 1996. Yes. And they've eaten all around New York City.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Yeah. No restaurant doesn't know about these two and what they do. She can't go anywhere without the goddamn waiter coming over and saying, where's my favourite married couple who love to show Kachoepepe you're having too much fun
Starting point is 00:15:53 with this show I love Kachoepepe she gets fucked up in a bar by herself she brings a book which also is a
Starting point is 00:16:01 baller move just going into like it looks like a real cool hotel bar or something. It's some sort of restaurant. She gets hit on by a hottie. This is something that media has always glamorized and always feels, I think, particularly, you know, it's a shame. Drinking alone?
Starting point is 00:16:20 Not that drinking alone. Not that drinking alone. I suppose it is that, but it's less that. It's more it portrays people out by themselves for a meal or at a restaurant who aren't just on their phones. It looks so romantic when you see it on the silver screen. You see someone dining by themselves. I've seen. They're sitting with their thoughts.
Starting point is 00:16:40 And if you ever try it out, if you ever go out and you sit and you actively don't go on your phone, you're just sitting by yourself at a bar or restaurant, you look like a fucking maniac. No, you don't. You do. I've seen people reading books in bars and I'm into it. Books I'm okay with. Books in a loud bar, I think is a bit of a statement.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Oh, not a loud bar. It's like a different thing. I understand that. And when you're traveling, it's a delight. But there is something about no book, no phone, just sitting with your thoughts. I don't know what that're travelling it's a delight but there is something about no book no phone just sitting with your thoughts I don't know what that is
Starting point is 00:17:08 that's not depicted in real life or in media that's in media that's been romanticised to me you know when you're going through something you just sit down at the bar by yourself
Starting point is 00:17:16 you have to have something you can't just sit with your thoughts there has to be an external activity whether it be reading a crossword what are you doing meditating at a bar you don't have to meditate how often in your day-to-day life do you just sit it doesn't happen you never do it just sit there yeah nah what about on a park bench hold on why are you coming at me? Because isn't your point that no one does this? I think people should. I don't know which way is up, Tim. The show has scrambled your fucking brain.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Oh, I love it. So anyway, so Naya, right. I don't even understand what's going on with her marriage. I think they like agreed to stay together and sort of sort it out later. He's on tour right now. And from memory at the end of the previous season, I think one of them wanted a child and the other sorted out later. He's on tour right now. And from memory at the end of the previous season, I think one of them wanted a child and the other one didn't.
Starting point is 00:18:08 And then they... I think, I'm going to assume, I can't remember, but I'm going to assume he did and she didn't because that would be the atypical based on... And then they tried and they found that they couldn't. There was some sort of... Yeah. They sort of approached,
Starting point is 00:18:24 they looked into a resolution for it that was taken away from them. And so there is still love but weirdness inside of the relationship. And so he's away on a big tour and she's left feeling somewhat isolated. I mean, this is the thing. We said all of them are horny. But what we failed to mention is that at the start, you'd almost call it a montage
Starting point is 00:18:46 carrie's getting hers miranda's getting hers charlotte's getting hers show me lisa's getting hers seymour's getting hers dr naya wallace she ain't getting here i mean i would have thought masturbating alone is the most traditional means of masturbation. And yet, this show is going out on a limb and saying, in today's modern society, you can't masturbate alone. Yeah, it was madness. She's flipping around TV channels on a screen. I'm like, well, you've got the screen. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:17 Chuck a bit of porn on there. You've got two arms. 2023, lady. I know what's going on under the clothes, but I'm assuming you've got some form of a sexual organ. You're a college professor. Figure it out. You know how this thing works.
Starting point is 00:19:29 Christ alive, lady. Yeah. Come on. Yeah. I'm with you. Surrounded by technology. Get it together. So she goes to a bar.
Starting point is 00:19:40 She gets hit on. Yeah. She says no. I was confused because I was like, I'm pretty sure they broke up or something. But no, she's like married and it's like oh yeah i guess you are in this smoking hot very seductive if there's the last we see of that guy i'm gonna be fucking apoplectic he was so cool there's no way i mean he's gotta come back if you're upset imagine how the actor would feel if that's all he got. Yeah, but he doesn't get to write the show. He just gets to, he's at the behest. Yeah, it's crazy. How much involvement has Mattress Pike got these days?
Starting point is 00:20:11 He was too debonair. He was too suave. He writes all of it. That's not true, is it? He has created several different aliases. Oh, I see. Different, you know, ages, genders, ethnicities to pepper through the credits as different staff writers
Starting point is 00:20:29 and episode writers. But I would be shocked if he didn't have his fingers on every single detail of this show. I reckon you're right, man. I reckon he has bamboozled many line producers by creating... He's got the emails too. He's got the social media accounts he's gone to like, I'm so sorry to bring
Starting point is 00:20:48 this up but he's gone to baby cemeteries he's gotten names, he has assumed false identities he's created social security numbers for people that aren't alive so that he can have full creative control of season two of In Just Like That
Starting point is 00:21:03 he has fed email correspondence through chat gpt so he has got receipts of years and years of back and forth between him and all of these different subordinates it would have honestly been easier for him to just go to hbo max and say hey i want to do it alone too fucking risky too fucking risky because that lets them say no mattress parklet is a son of a bitch but he's shrewd and he knows how tv works this is not his first rodeo and he knows that if he's going to survive in the modern era he's going to have to make up a lot of false identities based on some kids who aren't around anymore. It's probably why different parts of the show,
Starting point is 00:21:52 you know, different parts sort of resonate differently or at least feel like they're representing... I don't think this show represents reality, but it represents different parts feel more or less real because the amount of energy he's putting into maintaining the 12, tending to the 12 different lives that have flowered through his computer and he must maintain. I mean, because it's not just the email correspondence, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:22:23 It's images. It's imagery. It's photos of him out for meals with these people. Honestly, the strike, you'd think it would be good for him. It's the worst thing that could have happened to him. He's having to get photos of the staff riders of An Just Like That who do not exist, photos of them out on the front line with pickets. He's on mid-jour mid journey he's creating imagery
Starting point is 00:22:47 i mean he's getting meta people hypothetically and unreal at a time when he should be able to i mean not relax because you know all writers are working together on this but at least take a couple of plays off he's working harder than he ever has he's working hard on any of his shows just to maintain the illusion that this is the creation of more than one man it's hard to not be impressed by the lengths at which he's gone to keep his well rain more than that franchise it's hard not to be impressed by the final product that he's created because you know you don't need me to tell you it's written all over my voice it's in the timbre it's in the energy it's in the cadence i'm loving it is this thing sponsored by mcdonald's in the timbre. It's in the energy. It's in the cadence. I'm loving it.
Starting point is 00:23:26 Is this thing sponsored by McDonald's? Because I'm loving it. Here's the thing that fucks me up about the show. This was my big thing because I feel like I'm having it exactly my way. What is this? A Subway sandwich? All right, one more. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:23:39 I'm pretty sure I'm eating fresh. Fresh pussy. This show's all about eating pussy. How am I doing? Not great. No, you're doing wonderful. When we watched for a year, Sex and the City 2 in particular, one of the chief gripes we had with it is that off the back of a global financial crisis
Starting point is 00:24:05 it was a completely tone deaf piece of art depicting the lives of the people that i think we can all agree we all fucking hated and felt a real sense of injustice that was white hot in that moment and i cannot believe economic conditions have not improved a whole bit. We never really recovered from that meltdown. For a start, these characters are very well insulated. It is amazing to see Mattress Parklet King and potentially but probably not a couple of other people put together a show that is attempting to create an empathetic picture and really drill in and tell the side of the story of the 0.1 percenters there's people roaming around
Starting point is 00:24:51 just like going to the the big concern is my dress for the met gala is not going to be ready in time it's it is it serves as the holiday it's intended to. It's a crazy pursuit. It is so ambitious. To try and humanize these people. Does it succeed? Not to me. Does it fail?
Starting point is 00:25:16 Yes. But in a really fascinating way. In an enjoyable way? Hard out. Yeah. Big time. I agree. I love that pilot for all the wrong reasons
Starting point is 00:25:26 he's not a pilot for season 2 at one point they go out for a meal and this is a detail that very easily
Starting point is 00:25:35 could have been left out of the show it's it's Charlotte it's Seema it's it's Carrie it's Anthony
Starting point is 00:25:43 and they go out for a meal and they sit down at what looks to be quite a nice restaurant and then they show the waitstaff bringing over stools that are placed next to the characters there's a lot of space between them which is you know space in new york is always an advertisement of wealth because there is no space yeah so there's this huge space they put stools between the characters and then they put the bags on the stools and carrie vanessa line she says thank you my bag is exhausted which is quite a pithy thing to say in that circumstance but to choose to represent this and i assume this
Starting point is 00:26:17 is real and to choose to like take the time and energy we don't need to know what happens to the bags when these people go out to a meal what you're talking about it's like an active portrayal this is the point this is documenting what the day to day lives of these people are and I think there is most likely zero
Starting point is 00:26:37 awareness that this would be a frustrating thing to see depicted on screen but I think more so it's the thing that I keep reading about when mattress parklet was doing media for sex in the city too and saying that this this would be a great opportunity for the poors to have a mental holiday you know a bit of escapism but is it at one point one of the characters i think it's these people aren't clark gable that's the problem these are not not charismatic, likable Hollywood stars.
Starting point is 00:27:08 At one of these points, does Anthony say rich people problems? Does he accuse the characters of having rich people problems? He says, I am loving hearing this latest episode of your podcast, Rich People Problems. Yeah. And does he get chastised for that? And do we think of the problems that these characters are facing as problems? Are rich people problems in the world of And Just Like That problems?
Starting point is 00:27:29 I mean, Naya's got a real one. She's kind of breaking up with her husband. Yeah. Everyone else's problems seem to be around is Carrie allowed to have just sex with this guy who she was so overwrought about telling that she doesn't want a relationship with this guy and then eventually she was so overwrought about telling that she doesn't want a relationship with this guy and then eventually she rings him and it's like hey i don't want to go to you to
Starting point is 00:27:51 this whiskey rooftop barbecue event he's like okay yeah cool it's just like oh okay takes it like a hero but that's bad writing as far as i'm concerned. Also, the whole caper element of Carrie's plot was that she was getting this dress made by a young up-and-coming. Oh, it is resolved. It's resolved. The Met Gala, the theme is veiled beauty. And I can't remember Bobby Lee's girlfriend's. Storm is this young, phenomenal fashion creator.
Starting point is 00:28:27 And Carrie's like, it's got to be you. And then she totally bottles the opportunity. Her seamstresses both have some sort of stomach flu. Not her fault. And she says, you can't wear this. It'll ruin my career before it's started. Have you got anything? Have you got anything on the spot?
Starting point is 00:28:41 I'm going to pair with my cape. And then Carrie gets the funeral garb for big's funeral because big died because big's dead yeah but like the big died brought to you by peloton the fuck the shit that was going on between so for like half the episode carrie is just in this stressful situation where she's breathing down the neck of this poor young woman. You call it stressful. I call it dressless. We're almost there.
Starting point is 00:29:11 She has less than a dress to wear. We're three quarters of the way to a joke and you're so pumped about that. It's not nothing to me. It's not nothing. It currently is. I could write for Shay's pilot. You could.
