Show Notes

Sex and the City will be back!!! Remember that show where there were four friends who represented four different aspects of women?  There was Carrie who was the personification of romance in all its insecure girly non-glory. Samantha was passion incarnate - confident and focused. Miranda was practical, sensible and the career driven one. And Charlotte was the nurturer, the traditional one who wanted to be a wife and a mother. It was a show that defined a entire generation (or two!) of women, and so of course, the news that there will be a reboot is met with a huge flurry of interest. 

Every time there is a reboot - especially with the same characters (and the actors who portrayed them), there is a risk of ruining the original. This is something that people who grew up with a show face - as we get older, we want our memories of watching that show to remain intact. A reboot challenges that, and it's impossible for many of us not to compare. 

Both Sim and Shiv will definitely watch it, but they are both worried it will negatively impact their love for the show (we're looking at you, Gilmore Girls!). On one hand, it may introduce a new generation of viewers to one of their favourite shows (always a win!!!). But there is always this discomfort too, that what we liked and found appealing "back then" may not translate to modern times. And what does that really say about us? :)

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 00:00:03 Hi, and welcome to does this make me local, a podcast about aging as gracefully as possible when you're just not ready for two 40 something year old friends will find themselves kind of straddling that really odd period of time when aging and everything that is associated with is starting to become a much bigger part of our lives. We're definitely curious, but at the same time, rather terrified about aging. I'm Schiff. I'm a health science nerd and pop culture themes, and I'm sin and adult and waiting obsessed with finance and self-help books. We're going to be talking about the stereotypes of aging and how they affect us. And we'll also be doing some deeper dives into some interesting topics, such as what it's like to get old in the society dating when you're older and scientific advancements in anti-aging products and even evolution in scientific thinking around aging and throughout it all we chat rant, laugh about or adulting mishaps of which there are so, so, so many. So join us as we navigate our second quarter life crisis. Speaker 0 00:01:08 Hi, welcome to this week's episode of does this make me look old? I'm shave Speaker 2 00:01:13 And I'm syn. Speaker 0 00:01:14 Uh, Hey Sam, how are you? Speaker 2 00:01:16 It's pretty good. Uh, pretty, pretty good. How are you? Speaker 0 00:01:21 Yeah. What, what have you been up to you? What are you doing? Speaker 2 00:01:24 Nothing much. I was actually, um, uh, I just actually sent you something. Um, it's about the sex in the city reboot. Did you know what it was happening? Am I, how am I just been living under a rock and I did not know this. Speaker 0 00:01:37 Oh, okay. When you sent it to me, I was like, oh, okay. I didn't realize you didn't know. Yeah. Yeah. It's supposed to come out in December. Oh, you didn't know? Speaker 2 00:01:45 Wait, it's already in production. Right? I had no idea. It's like you show, right? Like not the movie. Speaker 0 00:01:55 No. So it's, it's going to be called and just like that. Um, I don't know if you know, like the whole, like Kim control controversy, like Speaker 2 00:02:02 I have not been keeping. I mean, I don't know what the controversies about, but I do know that they're not friends. Speaker 0 00:02:09 Yes. So sh well, I don't know if they're not, well, I don't know that much about what's going on. I just know Kim control is not going to be in the reboot. Um, she basically flat out just like, did not want to be part of it. So like, um, so she's not going to be in it. I don't know how they're going to write her out. I'm very curious about that. I hope they are going to do the right thing. And just say that she's off in like LA with Smith, Jared, and just like, leave it at that. Speaker 2 00:02:32 Yes. He must still be together. Right? Like, come on. This is funny. You should see that, that you, this is where she is. Because when I read the news, I was like a little bit, like, I don't know, like, don't get me wrong. I'm going to watch this it's sex in the city. Speaker 0 00:02:51 Yeah, for sure. Oh, no, I'm going to be glued to my chair. I'll be like, I'm this is what I'm doing. Speaker 2 00:02:55 Yeah. It's like, you know, but I'm also kind of like worried, cause I'm like, why did you need to restart this? It was perfection. Speaker 0 00:03:06 I know, I know. I'm, I'm very worried about it myself. Like, I mean, I'm going to watch it train wreck or not, but like, but like, I, I am kind of concerned cause I'm, I'm just worried that they're just not going to do right by the characters or like, they're just going to do a strange story or like, I'm just worried that they're just gonna wreck it. Speaker 2 00:03:28 And when did the show, and Speaker 0 00:03:30 I feel like it ended in 2000 in the early two thousands sometime. Speaker 2 00:03:36 So it's been almost 20 years. Yeah. So yeah. So a lot of things have probably changed in 20 years. Yeah. So I don't know if I want to deal with those changes. What do you Speaker 0 00:03:49 Mean aging changes that are going to be Speaker 2 00:03:52 No. No, not that I just don't want them to like make it like, oh, Bea died or, um, he's reverted back to cheating on her or she starts cheating on him because Eden shows up, like, those are the kinds of thoughts that have been going through my head. Cause I'm like, oh my God, how are they going to show progression in the last 20 years? And some big stuff must've been and, but what are these big things? And it has to involve those characters who are like, you know, important in their lives. But you know what I mean? Like Kim control, like if Samantha is not going to be there, they're going to have to do something about Samantha storyline. So then what does that mean? Like, are they going to say, oh, she died or she hates like the keynote, like as in they're going to make it something that sort of ruins the dynamic in my head. Yeah. Speaker 0 00:04:51 No, I know what you mean. I know because I, cause yeah, cause sex in the city was really about the Fort, the four women. Right. And so, um, you're right. Like now, and I loved Kim Cattrall. Like I just loved Samantha. Samantha was so much Speaker 2 00:05:07 That's so wanted to channel her confidence and her approach to life. Like the show was like basically the four sides of women, you know, like you have the flirty, like the insecure girly side, you have the, you know, the, oh, I want to be a mommy and I want to be this perfect little Charlotte's type. Right. And then the career side. And then, and then you had Samantha like perfection. She was, Speaker 0 00:05:40 I know it was just like, if you could just channel all of your like confidence and almost like your ears, like, it was just like that's what's meant there was no, like, Speaker 2 00:05:51 She was just funny and oh, so yeah. So I think I'm just worried about what it means for the Speaker 0 00:05:57 Characters. Yeah. Yeah. I know. And that's the thing, like, so in my mind, I'm like, if you kill off Samantha, then that would really upset me because then it would just be like, okay, you took the petty route for one and then second, like it changes the dynamic. Right. It's just kind of like, Speaker 2 00:06:15 Like, are they actually have a snap? Yeah. Like a Samantha two point. Oh Speaker 0 00:06:22 Yeah. I know. I don't know. I don't know if they're going to have a Samantha, Samantha esque, like second version of Samantha character, but all I was going to tell you, I think Carrie ends up being on a pod or like, I don't know if she's going to be a podcaster, but like at least, Cause I saw the trailer for it the other day. Yeah, yeah, Speaker 2 00:06:45 Yeah. Really have been living under a rock the last few weeks I've been in the works. Speaker 0 00:06:53 Yeah. Dude, you need to, you need to, you need to watch the trailer at the very least. It's it's pretty. Yeah. It was just nice. It's just nice to see them all back together. Well, X minus Samantha, I'm really sad actually, because like, I think it opens up with like the three of them waiting for a table and it's just like, you just want to see Samantha there, you know? And you're like, oh, why isn't you there? But um, yeah. Yeah. There's some interesting. Yeah. There's some interesting class. Speaker 2 00:07:19 Interesting comment though. Can be go back to it. Ask me if it was because they were older. Speaker 0 00:07:27 Yeah. I was wondering like when you said like, I don't want to revisit, I don't want to visit certain topics. Like, was it because you were thinking about them as like in their fifties? Speaker 2 00:07:36 No, not at all. Which is why I think I'm just surprised. I was like, I didn't actually think about that. It's yeah, no, it's just, um, but I wonder if people would actually think about that. Speaker 0 00:07:54 I think some people are like, I, it was weird. I was talking to this, I was talking to this person. I know. And they didn't want to watch it. And like, one of the reasons they gave was because they were older and I was like, are you serious? Like that shouldn't be a reason Speaker 2 00:08:09 That really shouldn't be a reason at all Speaker 0 00:08:13 On the one hand. Oh no, no. I mean, I don't think that should be a reason, but I wonder if on some level what was coming out was the fact that like you in your head, you want to see these women from the, like, from what they were like at the beginning and like to actually acknowledge the fact that they're aging means you have to acknowledge the fact that your aging too Speaker 2 00:08:36 Separate statements. No, I do not. Speaker 0 00:08:45 But then, but then, then it makes a little bit more sense for me. I'm like, oh, you just don't want to deal with a factory. You're getting older too. Speaker 2 00:08:52 I mean, I could be, it is that, is that the, Speaker 0 00:08:56 I don't know. I don't know this person. Yeah, no, no, this, I don't know. This person just seemed very, very intent on not watching it because they were older and I'm like, that's really not a good reason. Speaker 2 00:09:07 I actually did have a strong reaction when I saw that. But part of it is because, um, do you remember the Gilmore girls reboot? Yeah. It happened to the four episode series on Netflix watched it together. Speaker 2 00:09:32 Um, so Speaker 0 00:09:36 I was watching this alone in my house. Speaker 2 00:09:40 No I wasn't it, well, we did have viewing party. I think I was just so traumatized by some of the storylines. Right? Like how some of the characters ended up. Yeah. And by some of the characters, I mean one character. I was so upset. Speaker 0 00:09:59 Oh, I know. I know Speaker 2 00:10:00 Now I feel like it tainted my, um, viewing pleasure and my memories of Gilmore girls. Cause that's like one of the best shows ever. And I loved the show, right? Yeah. It's like those things like where I randomly put on an episode and I just love it. Just like I love friends and John make a comment about that. Speaker 0 00:10:22 If you, if you want me to make a comment, you can listen to our friends episode. Speaker 2 00:10:28 Oh yeah. Caught between a rock and a hard place because I don't want to revisit that conversation, but I want people to go back and listen to that episode. But, uh, but yeah, like the Gilmore girls, it was like, it's, it's on par, like, you know, for me on, you know, with friends and uh, just like you ruined, um, quite a bit of my enjoyment of my, one of my favorite shows. I find that Gilmore girls did that all on its own. Speaker 0 00:11:02 I know Speaker 2 00:11:04 That they had, it's like what just happened anyway, I was just very upset. So I don't want to give away spoilers, but for people who haven't watched them, but you know, so I think that's part of the reason why I'm not excited about, um, I mean I'm excited, but I'm not, you know, like I'm worried about sex in the Sydney reboots and you're kind of like, um, like Melrose place or 9 0 2, 1 0 1 just all. Okay. Um, or maybe I just wasn't the right end demographic anymore. You know where I was like, why is this happening? You know, like Brendan and Brenda, so, and Dylan. So how good can you repeat? Speaker 0 00:11:53 Yeah, that just makes me sad because if you liked Harry, no, no, no, I actually didn't watch 9 0 2 1. Oh. I was just thinking like Luke Perry was in 9 0 2, 1 0 1. I was just really shocked. Speaker 2 00:12:03 No. Speaker 0 00:12:06 Yeah. I don't know how to explain it Speaker 2 00:12:09 Allowed at the time. And then I had to sneak in and watch it at my friend's place. Speaker 0 00:12:13 Oh, Speaker 2 00:12:15 I know. Speaker 0 00:12:19 That's Speaker 2 00:12:19 Terrible. I was just like, yeah, I still owe Speaker 0 00:12:24 I'm just trying to think. Did nine a two I know fall during my med school. Black hole. Did, Speaker 2 00:12:31 I don't know when the original rhino two, one oh, came out. Speaker 0 00:12:34 Oh, okay. Yeah. Seminar. We're talking about this, about how there's like an entire there's good entire almost decade, actually. Maybe not all, not decade, but like a big chunk of time where like, I know nothing about pop culture because I didn't follow any of it because it was just this med school and residency and it was just like, yeah. I don't know what's happened. Speaker 2 00:12:58 Well, the original 9 0 2 1 oh. Started in 1990. Oh 2000. Speaker 0 00:13:06 Okay. Okay. So I have no excuse because technically yeah, I was not in med school, so yeah, I just didn't watch 9 0 2 1. Oh, I think it's because I thought it was very soapy. And so I was just like, no, Speaker 2 00:13:17 He was now looking back. I don't think I could get into it. But I think like at the time it was like one of those things, like my parents were like, when I first started, like, of course you couldn't, you know, I wasn't allowed to watch, but I remember the older, older girls were allowed, they would be taught in the school bus. Right. And I would be like, I cannot wait to get older and wait, Speaker 0 00:13:40 I'm going to watch 9 0 2. Speaker 2 00:13:43 Um, so I actually think, I didn't actually watch it until, um, two, three years later, um, that I started watching it. Um, because, so I was in the middle east at the time. Right. Yeah. And, uh, so they would have it in one of the satellite TV, like, like a reruns Speaker 0 00:14:02 And I okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Speaker 2 00:14:04 That's how it caught up. Speaker 0 00:14:06 Yeah. So I'll actually, so you pick up an interesting point, which is the fact that they are doing all these reboots. So like, yeah. So what's your take on reboots? I find, I do find it interesting that like they are creating all these reboots of shows from our generation. So, so Speaker 2 00:14:26 Two streams of it, right. One is where they recreate the show, but like modernized. Right. So it's kind of like, uh, almost like not necessarily a continuation, like sex in the city or Gilmore girls was, um, in those cases I feel like it depends. Um, so did you ever watch one day at a time? No. So Netflix has the first three seasons of the reboot of at a time. Yeah. And I loved it. I thought it was great. Um, they canceled it. I don't know why, but it was a really good reboot. Like I enjoyed watching it. Um, but, um, you know, I tried watching. Okay. Do you remember Thundercats? Speaker 0 00:15:16 I do remember Thundercats. Speaker 2 00:15:18 I used to love Thundercats. I love tomcats. Right. Um, but then you have a reboot of Thundercats and I never got into the new ones. Mind you. I'm also, I was also in my late thirties waiting to happen, but you're Speaker 0 00:15:32 Not the demographic, Speaker 2 00:15:37 But they changed the story, you know, like they changed the characters, the backstory. And so for my thing is that like, I think if you're going to keep the same characters and you have to treat the characters with the respect, you know, whereas if you're going to introduce new characters, then it's an opportunity to sort of, you know, um, do something new and create Speaker 0 00:16:01 Yeah, exactly. Actually. Yeah. I was thinking about that. I think they're rebooting the wonder years. No way. Yeah. Yeah. So instead of, so yeah, so I don't know if anyone, Speaker 2 00:16:12 For example was a continuation. Oh, Speaker 0 00:16:15 That's true. Yeah. Yeah. So the one, so yeah, the wonder years was with, um, Fred Savage and um, yeah, so it was basically this, a family of five that were living in California, like in the sixties. But like now I think they're rebooting it with a black family. Um, I think they're still living in the sixties. Do not quote me. I've just seen like one commercial for it or something. And I think Don Cheadle is doing the, um, the voiceover. So, but yeah, so they were like, so I guess they're rebooting the wonder years, but like, they're just doing it, Speaker 2 00:16:47 But see that's a cool concept right. Where you're redoing it, but with a whole new cast, a whole new, fresh perspective. Whereas like, I feel like if you are going to keep the same characters and develop their history, then you have to be true to their history and where they come from. Right. And I think that's where, um, I get worried because like with sex in the city, it's like, it's the same character. So you're going to have to address how they've changed over the last 20 years. Yeah, exactly. Then the question is, do you, um, show that growth or do you change some of their history? Like, you know, it's like, how do you treat it? Speaker 0 00:17:30 Yeah. Uh, I feel like you need to watch the trailer. Speaker 2 00:17:34 I do. I can't believe, I didn't even know about it until I sent that to you. And I was like, wait, what? Speaker 0 00:17:42 Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. It's, what's interesting because like, so yeah, so Kim, control's not going to be in it, but then there's like a whole new, different group of characters. And like, I think Sarah Ramirez is going to be in, um, in the show. So like, you know, so then that's kind of bringing in like an, um, like an LGBTQ kind of perspective and then like, and Serita Choudry what really Serita Choudry is going to be in it. I don't know how big, like, I don't know how big her role is going to be, but like, yeah. So she's going to be in it. Um, there was a third person and now I can't remember, but like, um, yeah, so it's just, yeah. They're interested that they are bringing in other people. Oh, Bridget Moynahan is coming back. So I'm just kind of like, Hm. What's that about? So then, um, is it Bridget? Speaker 2 00:18:34 I don't know. I didn't know who, um, Speaker 0 00:18:37 She used to. I think she, she was the one who used to date Tom Brady. Speaker 2 00:18:42 Oh yeah. Speaker 0 00:18:44 She played bigs. She was Bigg's second wife. The one that I don't know. Okay. Yeah. So anyway, she's the one who lost her teeth. Remember when like she, when, when Carrie was having the affair with big behind his second wife's back, you don't remember this? Oh, Jesus. Speaker 2 00:19:07 She hadn't been with Speaker 0 00:19:08 Big, Speaker 2 00:19:11 You know, that I process out, like I filter out everything. Speaker 0 00:19:15 Oh my goodness. Yeah. Oh my goodness. Huge plot line Speaker 2 00:19:23 This. Speaker 0 00:19:24 Oh my God. Speaker 2 00:19:27 Because I was pissed about her cheating. Speaker 0 00:19:30 Yeah. So she cheats on yeah. She cheats with she cheats. Actually she cheats on Aiden with big and big is married. So yeah. Oh my goodness. Speaker 2 00:19:44 I think every time I don't like, yeah. I think I remember now that I was very upset that she was a cheater. Speaker 0 00:19:53 Oh my God. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:19:56 Okay. Like back then I was just an idealistic, stupid person. Speaker 0 00:20:03 Oh my goodness. I can't believe you forgot that entire plot line. Anyway. Speaker 2 00:20:07 I was like, Nope, just going to drop that Space in my brain for this information. Speaker 0 00:20:16 Oh my goodness. Yeah. And I just saw her podcasting. So I was just like, is she a podcast host or is she on like the, oh, she had guest post Speaker 2 00:20:26 Columnist. Speaker 0 00:20:28 Oh yeah. That's true right now because everyone and their mother now has a podcast, including us Speaker 2 00:20:39 Holding out. Speaker 0 00:20:43 Um, but yeah, so it, yeah. We'll see. Let, I think it's coming out in December, so let's see. Let's see what happens, but I will definitely be Speaker 2 00:20:51 When you do a viewing party though, again, right. Speaker 0 00:20:54 We shouldn't, I'm not for one I'm up for yeah. Speaker 2 00:20:57 I feel like we should not watch this alone cause it'll take away from my, um, pleasure because I will need to bitch about anything that goes wrong and it's right. Yeah. I am ready to do both. I'm just trying to keep my expectations low Speaker 0 00:21:17 That's. Yeah. I think that's what I'm going to have to do too. I'm kind of worried that it's just going to kind of go sideways and I need to be prepared for that, but it's true. Speaker 2 00:21:26 I mean, I'm wrong though, but it's just like, I was so excited about the Gilmore girls fame. Yeah. And, and first episode, I was like, oh, and I enjoyed watching all four episodes until I finished. And then I was reflecting on it and I was like, I'm actually upset about this. I'm upset about, Speaker 0 00:21:50 Yeah. I'm sad about how it ended. I was happy but up not at all. And I know I'm kind of worried that that's, what's going to happen with the SATC reboot, but we'll see. We'll see. I mean, I it's true. I might need a viewing party in order to have the moral support. Speaker 2 00:22:06 Yes. And we should definitely have some cosmos in the house. Speaker 0 00:22:13 I think that's probably, yeah. That's like that's yeah. That's like a requirement. That's a mandate there. Yeah. I don't know. But so do you think these reboots are happening because people are nostalgic or is it just because people have no, like more? Speaker 2 00:22:29 Yeah. Um, I think it's a combination, but it's D there's definitely an element of nostalgia. I really don't understand why we are having so many reboots and you're all reboots of like my shows. I used to watch full house as a kid. Then they came up with fuller house and I'm like, really? Speaker 0 00:22:48 I know the rebooting saved by the bell. I don't know some of the original characters. Speaker 2 00:22:54 Yeah. So that, when did that happen? Speaker 0 00:22:59 No, I was just watching TV the other day and suddenly this commercial for saved by the bell came and it looked like Zack, Speaker 2 00:23:07 Zack Morris? Speaker 0 00:23:08 Yes. Yeah. Zack Morris, Elizabeth Berkley. Once the other guy. Who's the other guy Slater. What's this AC Speaker 2 00:23:15 Slater. Speaker 0 00:23:16 Yay. Yeah. What's his name anyway, that guy Mario Lopez yet. Speaker 2 00:23:20 Oh my God. What kind of Norris was the ultimate crush ever in fact, I don't know if you remember, but, um, my, um, birthday right before the pandemic, when I had that celebration and it was like, you know, downstairs, you had to give a password. Yeah, it was. And it was an ID. Nike's themed birthday. Speaker 0 00:23:45 Oh yeah. Speaker 2 00:23:47 My password. Speaker 0 00:23:49 Oh, I totally forgot. That's true. Funny. Speaker 2 00:23:54 So much. It was like a best character. Speaker 0 00:23:59 Well, you can watch them again on the saved by the bell. Reboots. Speaker 2 00:24:02 What? Like is like, so it's like exactly the same story, but like he's the dad? No, Speaker 0 00:24:09 I have no idea. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I have no idea. All I saw was those three characters, obviously older and um, yeah. And it just said saved by the bell. And I was just like, okay, I guess they're rebooting it. Speaker 2 00:24:27 Oh, wow. I did not know that. Speaker 0 00:24:29 Yeah. What's the demographic there. Are they trying to create new viewership for saved by the bell? Or are they like, is it supposed to appeal to, is it supposed to appeal to like gen like gen X and millennials? Like, I don't know. I don't know what's happening. Speaker 2 00:24:48 I don't know. No, it can't be because I didn't even know about it. It must be like an M like what channel is it on? It must be like some kind of like a kid's channel. Right. I'm assuming Speaker 0 00:24:59 I don't think so. Cause I think that, I think I saw the commercial on, I want to say some sort of showcase channel possibly. Yeah. Which is an adult channel. Speaker 2 00:25:18 Oh gosh. I really hope I have to check this out. So this weekend that is going to be my homework to figure out. I will have to look up saved by the bell. And I hope to God that sack and Kelly are still together. Speaker 0 00:25:35 Oh my goodness. Everyone, you should see her face. She is completely lit up. Biggest grin Speaker 2 00:25:43 The wire to ear love Zack Morris point that I actually loved Kelly, mark, uh, you know, Kelly, uh, what's her name? What was her name? Oh my God. But I loved her too actually just because, um, Zach loved her. That's how, you know, I was like really in love with him. That's Speaker 0 00:26:09 Too funny. So, oh, that's that was Tiffany Amber. Thiessen right. She was on white color. Speaker 2 00:26:15 She was on. And, and I remember like, I couldn't get, like, she was, you know, a grownup there. Right. And then I was like, oh my gosh, Speaker 0 00:26:25 Thank goodness. Speaker 2 00:26:27 It's funny because when I see these characters, I in my head, they're still like the teenagers, even though we've all grown up. Right. Um, what's his name? Mark. Paul Gossler. Is that how you say he an NYP D PLU after he was in, uh, Frankin Nash, Franken bash, Speaker 0 00:26:49 Frank and bash. I think his front goodbye Speaker 2 00:26:51 Rash, which I didn't actually get into it too much, even though I did see, watch a few episodes, but then I, um, he, wasn't also, uh, he's the dad in mixed dish. Speaker 0 00:27:01 Oh, he is. Oh, oh, that's interesting. Speaker 2 00:27:06 Was dad. Speaker 0 00:27:08 Oh, I had no idea. Okay. Well it sounds like he's getting consistent work. That's good. Yeah. It's, it's an interesting thing that these reboots, but I'm assuming that like, I'm sure that did we watch reboots as kids of like Speaker 2 00:27:24 I was trying to remember. I actually don't know like what, what were the shows in the sixties? Batman Bewitched Speaker 0 00:27:35 Is is that we didn't have to watch reboots because you could still watch the shows. I remember watching reruns of like I dream of Jeannie. Speaker 2 00:27:46 Yeah. I'd watch I dream of Jeannie. Speaker 0 00:27:50 Yeah. So, so actually it's really interesting this phenomenon or rebooting things because it's like, well, why don't I? Yeah. But then the TV landscape is crazy. Like there so much stuff to watch nowadays. Speaker 2 00:28:02 That's true. Like what a handful of channels and, um, you know, prime time only started at 8:00 PM and until van, it was all reruns anyway. Yeah. So yeah, actually that makes sense. Like, you know, they're probably running out of ideas and keeping up with the content. Speaker 0 00:28:22 Yeah. Yeah. I didn't think about it in that way. I was just like, why all these reboots, but then it's true when you have to, when you have to like, fill like, like yeah. Feel like the air at 19 airways Speaker 2 00:28:34 Channels and you need fresh content all the time. Yeah, Speaker 0 00:28:39 Exactly. Well, so I think in the channels, it's like, even like the streaming platforms, right? Like you, you just need, yeah. You just need new content. It's just, it's all very exhausting. I'm just finding life exhausting now. Oh my goodness. Yeah. Anyway, but yeah, I'm down for an SATC viewing party for sure. Speaker 2 00:29:01 Okay. That sounds good. That's it? That's a plan then. Yeah. Speaker 0 00:29:05 All right. I think we should call that an episode. So, uh, yeah. Uh, right, right into us to let us know what you think about like this whole reboot phenomenon. Speaker 2 00:29:15 And if there is a reboot that you were hoping would happen, but that you loved when you were a teenager or, you know, or a kid or whatever, and it's, you know, it's still, hasn't made it to the rebook list. It's a show we like we should all band together and just, you know, write to get back. Speaker 0 00:29:35 Yeah, exactly. Well, yeah. I know. Kind of like Brooklyn nine, nine, where it's like, don't cancel it and then they didn't. Yeah. I mean, it's true. Social media. It does have a, it can actually influence things. So, yeah. Um, yeah. So then just hit us up on social where you can find our tags on tags. Is that a thing? Anyway, you can play God. You can see my age. Yeah. You can find our social media handles on our website and it does this make me look old.com and uh, yeah. Write in to us at, does this make me look [email protected]? Oh, I forgot to mention, um, we are one of feed spots, um, top 30 aging podcasts. We made their list. Speaker 2 00:30:20 Yes. Super cool. So check them out Speaker 0 00:30:24 For sure. And then the other thing is, is that, oh, and then thanks to you guys. Thank you so much for listening because we are one of we're in the top 10% of podcasts on listen notes. So super happy for that. Thank you so much. Speaker 2 00:30:42 Yeah. No, thank you. That's not actually made oh, that just made my day. Speaker 0 00:30:49 Yeah. So yeah. So just, just a big round of gratitude for all of you who are listening out there. We're really appreciative of that. Speaker 2 00:30:56 That's actually being homegrown without corporate sponsorship and all of that stuff, but maybe someday, maybe not corporate, but like powerful sponsorship any. Speaker 0 00:31:10 Oh, and the other thing I wanted to say is thank you so much to the people who've been rating and reviewing us. We really appreciate it. We have actually read your reviews.
