Summary
The great Maureen Johnson (celebrated Young Adult novelist) joins the fellaz after they forced her to watch the first three episodes of this thing. As a woman writer who moved to NYC when the show began, Maureen has a complex (hateful?) relationship with Sex and the City, and Mattress Piklet King appears to be targeting her in this new series. Guy is away from home navigating bad internet by using the classroom system of raising his hand when he has something to say and Tim is quite simple over Carrie's entire personality.

| 0:00.0 | Well everybody, it's time to join, not just Timbo and Guy Guy for the 30th episode of |
| 0:19.2 | and just like that, but it is my great pleasure to finally have on the podcast, Maureen Johnson |
| 0:25.8 | celebrated best-selling novelist. I could not be more excited Maureen to talk to you about |
| 0:31.6 | the series. How the fuck are you? I'm good. That's the size speaks Maureen. Before you |
| 0:42.8 | launch into your answer Maureen, I just want to know, will you go into or did you have intentions |
| 0:47.8 | on watching this series at all before we ask you to talk about it? Oh no, oh absolutely |
| 0:54.5 | no. No, no, no. In fact, I have some I have some previous with this. So with the sex in the |
| 1:04.2 | city universe, please take us through your journey with the six in the city. I think the audience |
| 1:09.4 | is familiar with ours. Well, briefly, I came to the city around the same time that sex |
| 1:15.6 | in the city starts and so I was moving into that New York, except I was a student as a writer |
| 1:25.8 | and a student at Columbia where Miranda goes now and I had zero dollars and zero cents at all times |
| 1:32.2 | and everyone said there's this amazing show on HBO. I was like HBO, who has money for that kind |
| 1:37.2 | of nonsense and they said it has hilarious plots like a woman sends $40,000 on shoes and I said, |
| 1:45.0 | I never want to watch that shit and I never did, except it would be on the background some time |
| 1:50.3 | and it'd be like, who are these fuckwits and why are they buying all these shoes and I don't even |
| 1:53.8 | like shoes. What do people really like this show? So I never see it really. You know, it's just I |
| 2:00.9 | absorb some of it. Okay, flash forward to the year that sex in the city too comes out. Now just |
| 2:07.1 | a thousand and eight. You've seen it. I have. I think it was, no, it was after that, wasn't it? |
| 2:14.2 | Because I think it was 10, wasn't it? I can tell you about that year. It was 10 and I will hear |
| 2:22.2 | from Guy Montgomery briefly and then I will hear from Maureen. Thank you for mediating our conversation |
| 2:29.4 | through this dastardly internet connection term. I was just going to confidently say it was 2008. |
| 2:35.3 | I started saying that. I cut people off. I was proven wrong before even got to finish the sentence. |
