Hi, I'm Kristen Davis, and I want to know, are you a Charlotte?

You guys, you guys, we have a very exciting, a very, very exciting guest.

Simon Curtis is here with us.

He is an Uber fan.

He is a super sweetheart. We met on social media of some kind,

but it was a long time ago. I think like 12 years ago. Right. Like a long time. And he is so great,

you guys. And I'm so excited to have him. And we have a lot of levels of Charlotte that we're

going to explore. A lifetime of Charlotte. A lifetime

of Charlotte from age 11. Oh my gosh. Amazing. Amazing. Do you remember like how did we connect? Because

I don't even remember back that far. I've literally been a fan of the show since I was 11 years old.

Wow. I used to sneak watch it while my parents were watching it.

It was like the perfect way to watch the show. My parents would be in the living room

watching it and then I would go sneak watch it in the back room at the same time. So they

weren't getting up to go see what I was doing. So every Sunday I would watch. Oh, I love it.

So you were watching it in real time when it was on the first time on HBO. Yeah. Well, that's fantastic. Yeah. The ripe age of 11. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. And how did that affect you? Well, I think that was one of the first conversations that we ever had. And God, I feel like I'm going to cry six times today, but this is, I might as well just go ahead and jump into it.

I think one of the first conversations that we ever had was telling you how much of a life raft the show was for me.

I was an 11, 12 year old gay boy in Oklahoma.

And the show premiered, was it 97 or 98?

98.

So, 98.
