I don't know if you guys know what soap operas are, because I don't think they're really a thing anymore. But there used to be soap operas in New York and soap operas in L.A. And it was a great job, if you could get it, because you got to go to work, like, every day or whatever. You know, it was like... you know, 60 minutes a day of show, right?

So like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, every day had an hour of that show on. And when you were little, those of us who are my age, you know, your moms might watch these things, right? So like if you got to stay home from school, you could maybe watch the soap operas with your mom. It was really dramatic.

And I remember being super fond of them and thinking like, yes, I could be on a soap opera. That would be great. That was something that I thought would be fantastic, right? When I got out of college. And I went on there and I did really, really enjoy it. Wait, are you finding it, Easton? Is it on there? What was my name? My name was Paige, you guys. Thank you. My producer, Easton, looked it up.

My name was Paige. Don't ask me what I did. I have no idea. I just remember being there and that it was very exciting. And isn't it strange and funny that two actors from that show, Charles Keating was on that show a long time. Like he was a mainstay of another world and he was a lovely, lovely actor. So anyway, funny and strange to me to realize this when I'm looking back on it.

Okay, they're in the hotel room. Carrie calls Miranda and Samantha to come over. They come over and they order just a whole bunch of food because they're going to spend the Frenchman's money. And they have a very fascinating conversation that I literally would play for you guys if I could right now, but I don't have it. They discuss money. Money is power. Sex is power.

Money for sex is simply an exchange for power. I believe Samantha says that, I think. And then Miranda is like, no, you know, don't give away your power. You know, you want to have your own power. And they kind of overlap each other, which is also kind of unheard of in our show and something that we didn't get to do much of as the years went on. But I really love the whole conversation.

And I think that is very interesting back then. And I think it's very interesting now. And now, like, I don't know if you guys feel this way, but sometimes when I'm talking to people like, like, for instance, well, I shouldn't mention anyone. But for instance, sometimes I talk to people about dating and dating in New York, L.A., wherever.

And people talk about that younger women are into status, that they're like they might be dating the older guy for status and money or power. I think something to that effect. And I believe Blakely and I talked about this last week because people had a lot to say on the Instagram about, you know, whether men who have status and power care at all about what women think. Someone thinks they don't.

And I was like, LOL. That's what I said. Because, you know, I think everyone wants to be loved. This is what I think. But obviously, I play Charlotte, right? So, of course, I would think that. But to my mind, everyone wants to be loved, like truly deeply loved. Maybe it's more important to some people and less important to others. But even men with status and money want to be loved.
