Sex and the City S2E2: “The Awful Truth” with Jamie Lee

About this episode

Jamie Lee joins the hosts to discuss the second episode of Sex and the City, exploring character dynamics and social themes.

Jamie Lee, executive producer and writer on Ted Lasso, writer/ star of Crashing, and Lisa Vanderpump of Gowanas is in the studio to chat SATC S2E2 “The Awful Truth.” Charlotte adopts a Jack Russell Terrorist, Samantha finds allyship with her therapist and breaks up with her tiny penis boyfriend, Miranda experiments with dirty talk, The Girls get messy over mezze when Big shows up to Carrie’s birthday dinner, and the world is introduced to the best girl to bring to any gathering: Susan Sharon. We lament over the loss of whimsy in character names (see: Booth Jonathan, Laird, and Mimi-Rose Howard,) petition for themed restaurants to make a resurgence, explain how friends like Susan Sharon are the hack to applying the Pomodoro Method to a social excursion (fodder queen,) and analyze how getting filler is an anxiety response. We know we’re going to see Jamie’s investigative and heartfelt stand up special My Friend Katy at Joe’s Pub June 16th. Find your tickets at @reallyjamielee!
