Welcome to Staten Island folks, where you can practically smoke in hospitals, Ricky Fantucci is the hottest man in town, and people know the words to "Doctor's Orders."

That's right, this week we're diving into Sex and the City season 3, episode 1, "Where There's Smoke." We ask ourselves, why is Lasik a good choice for the nearly blind, does Steve need mittens to protect himself while he sleeps, and why does Facebook think Meredith needs compression hose? Of course, we also delve into the fact that Big looms large as Carrie desperately fends off the advances of Bill Kelly.

We love releasing these pods as we wait for season three of And Just Like That... to air, but in the meantime consider subscribing, rating and reviewing, and following us on Instagram. It means the world!

"Do friends kiss here?" NO THEY DON'T! In the 50th episode of the pod Ricky and Miranda — errrr — Meredith regale our listeners with one of the great episodes. The one that said to the world, "Carrie cannot be tamed."

Carrie pulls a Katie and tests whether or not she and Big can be friends. In the meantime, Charlotte tries to get back on the saddle, Samantha tries to ride a horse, and Miranda allows her friend to kiss her everywhere.

Watch the episode and listen along to our hot takes. And join the conversation on Instagram.

Meredith and Ricky are back with the recap you need and deserve. Samantha is dismayed when her mini-me, Nina, usurps her title of biggest hoe in the Hamptons. Charlotte serves up some age-related lies with a side of rotisserie chicken and crabs. And Carrie throws on a cowboy hat and calls it a summer until Big comes crashing back into her life.

Rewatch Sex and the City with us to relive all your '90s faux pas in a safe environment. And don't forget to join the conversation on Instagram, if only to see Ricky's picture of self-tanning excess.

Well it's here, everyone, the episode that has defined Ricky's life — but the real question Meredith poses is, "Why?" Especially given that "Shortcomings" is total filler. Perhaps it was the lox and cream cheese, or Valerie Harper's debilitatingly sex-positive child rearing, or Justin Theroux's paper thin boxers. Something really clicked.

Widely considered the dullest and most lifeless episode in the Sex and the City canon, "The F*** Buddy" is known for a few other things: Miranda's E.T. in athleisure picnic attire, nonsensical yoga, and ponchos. So many ponchos.

Join Meredith and Ricky as they vamp and manufacture energy for 30 minutes to breathe life into this source material.

Meredith and Ricky begin to wonder if they're being played as they watch this episode go down. Carrie's friend-o-meter sinks to an all-time low as she subjects her friends and her audience to her rants about Mr. Big, Samantha dates a sports fanatic, and Charlotte basically is just present. But there were some high points, such as Jon Bon Jovi and his incredibly petite body, milky skin and perfect nipples, plenty of walking and acting scenes, and summer-in-the-city looks galore.

Things get a bit kinky as we dive back into season two, episode 11 of Sex and the City, but is the pain really that exquisite? Miranda gets her jollies in the back seat of a cab, Charlotte puts on her finest toe ring in the hope of freakishly long free shoes, Samantha continues to be NYC's most inappropriate PR rep, and Carrie hurtles a Big Mac while wearing a beret.

Rewind with us as we watch Sex and the City, Season 2, Episode 12, "La Douleur Exquise." Show us some love and rate, review and subscribe to the pod. And join the conversation on Instagram.

As we wait anxiously for season three of And Just Like That..., we, Meredith and Ricky, are diving into the archives to find out how Sex and the City lives up to 2023 standards.

This week, we rewatch Season 2, Episode 11, "Evolution," which aired on August 15, 1999, all the way back to the time of $40 brunches, Lilith Fair fashions, and gaydar.
