Chapter 1: What stories are shared in this minisode?
This is exactly right. Hi, I'm Kristen Davis, host of the podcast Are You a Charlotte? Sarah Jessica Parker is here, and she is sharing stories from the very beginning, like the time she forgot we filmed the pilot episode.
I remember some things about shooting the pilot. Right. I have some memories I can fill you in. That you're going to fill me in.
Yes, but then you forgot about it in the very long time they took to pick us up. I completely forgot about it. Listen to Are You a Charlotte? on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Imagine you're scrolling through TikTok. You come across a video of a teenage girl and then a photo of the person suspected of killing her. It was shocking. It was very shocking.

Chapter 2: What happened to the father lost in the woods?
He fought hard to get back up the slope but was so shaken up when he got back up he accidentally went in the wrong direction. So he's like doubling back. Flash forward to the next evening his friends first noticed he was left behind. Assholes. The next evening. That's insane. They all lived on a compound together, so my jaw dropped when I first learned this detail.
It's not like they all went to their own apartments and, like, didn't notice. You know what I mean? Like, it makes sense that they weren't, like, in the room with him. Yeah. But they wouldn't know.
Did they say what year this was or era?
I don't know, but it sounds very high. This is as high as you can get. His friends didn't call search and rescue until almost a full day after they had left him behind. Don't get me started here. Yeah, I mean, for real. My father was lost for three full days before he was found by mushroom foragers. So even after they realized he was gone, he was still fucking, they still couldn't find him. Right.
That's just the beginning of the problem. Right. He was freezing cold, his cotton clothing soaked through, and he was surviving just on snow and thoughts of getting back to his family. Ugh. Because they took his fucking backpack, too. Yeah. My dad describes this experience as the scariest in his life, but he shares needing to get back to my nephew as what saved his life.
Luckily, he survived with just a small bit of frostbite, but the PTSD from this harrowing experience will remain forever. My biggest reason I wanted to share this story is to share some tips to keep yourself safe outdoors. My father's close call does not deter me from being the outdoorsy woman I am and nor should it you if that's what you love.
Despite what we always say. But also, what if someone heard this email and was like, I'm never going outside again? Never, never.
Or I'd be like, I'm never having friends again. Exactly. I'm never carpooling again. Right. Here are some tips. One, if you find that you are turned around and unsure of which way is the correct way to go, do not keep moving. The closer you are to your last known location, the less complicated it is for search and rescue to find you.
They always say that, but it's like the natural thing to be like, I bet there's just down the street. I got to get out of here. Yeah. Stay where you are. Two, bring a navigation tool that has extended battery life, like a Garmin inReach, a map and compass, and some type of emergency beacon if you're going into particularly wild areas. Wasn't his backpack in the car?

Chapter 3: What safety tips can be learned from getting lost outdoors?
You should test people before you're on a mountain if they're like that in their personality. Because that is so self-serving and insane to just be like, hey, look, I'm trying to hike faster.
I need to be moving faster. Go to hell. Yeah. Five, always bring a headlamp. Six, learn about the 10 essentials and live by them. The ones that were just given? No. I'm sure that's a thing. Oh. It's a different thing. Stay sexy and hail Mushroom Foragers Anonymous. Yeah. Let's hear it for Mushroom Foragers right now.
Well, that's who found the dad. No, no, I know. I've always heard that thing about wool, though. Wool is the best material for, and it seems like, oh, it would be too hot, but it's super breathable, and it does good with moisture. What am I talking about? I just have heard that. Yeah, when you spill something on your couch. Yeah, exactly. And then I'm like, oh, no, I'm trapped here.
Chapter 4: What is the significance of bringing navigation tools?
What if I don't ever dry off and I get couch rot? What are the 10 essentials? Stay positive. Don't go in the fucking forest. Look up at the top of the tree line. Wave at bears. The thing that makes me crazy is people that talk about north, south, east, and west like anybody has some sort of, like it's taught somewhere.
I'm okay at it if I'm in a city, like a big city, except for New York. I can't fucking do Jackson, New York. New York's tough. Yeah. But like New York, I mean, LA, I can do it. Right. You go like, where's the airport that's south? Right. Or I go, where's the valley? I don't want to go there. It's that way.
You know what I mean? As a person who lives in the valley. Oh, right. How dare. Okay. Here's my first one. And the subject line is celebrity encounter lost on my clueless mom. Hello, ladies. You know when people say day one listener, do they mean they discovered your podcast sometime in the last few years and they went through and listened to the whole thing from episode one?
Or do they mean that they listened to episode one when there was only an episode one? I'm the former, having discovered your podcast sometime in 2021 and taking probably a year to catch up on all the old episodes. Wow.
What answer would you give? I think day one listeners identify as people who started listening from the very first episode when they found it in 2016, like when it came out. Right. But I like that one, too. I mean, let's think of a fucking... They should call themselves something. Yeah, they should call themselves... Obsessive compulsive.

Chapter 5: What are the 10 essentials for outdoor safety?
I mean, I never think about that where it's like there are hundreds of these fucking episodes. I mean... So if you like it, then you're like, oh, I'm here, but I actually... Well, that's why we're doing rewind episodes. Yeah, we're trying to make it easier for you. Because we realize these are true problems in 2024 that are a real concern for everybody.
Anyway, I like when an email starts off with like, can I get some stuff cleared up? Because I'm confused. I like that. Maybe we'll name the second version after the person, depending on how this email goes. Bingers. We'll name it Jodiers. But anyway, hi. I'm writing to you from the north of Denmark, where I live with my Danish husband, but I'm originally from the south of England.
Those Vikings are still stealing the English girls away. That is the best. OK, here's my story. When I was a kid, I was always at some sort of dancing, singing, drama or piano lesson. As my dancing friends and I grew up, I lost interest in parentheses because I discovered boys and thought they wouldn't be interested in a dancer. And then it's the emoji of the little guy rolling his eyes.
Which is like, it's so sad to me that girls do that to themselves where it's like, that's all they're interested in. Why wouldn't you understand that you are the cream of the crop?
But also like, how sad to give up something you love because you think this boy is going to somehow make your life better than the thing that you love.
Yeah, you think it's going to up the odds of getting picked by some fucking idiot.
It doesn't matter. Yeah.
But they all went on to have great careers in the theater, on cruise ships, touring the world, etc. One such girl got her job as a chorus girl in the London West End stage version of the producers. That's amazing. My mom and lots of the other dancing moms went to watch her in her West End debut. That is also for those moms. Yeah. She made it. She made it.
I mean, the West End in London, she made it. As my mom was sat in the audience waiting for the show to start, she got talking to the man next to her. He had an American accent and asked my mom if she had seen the show yet. She excitedly told him that she knew one of the chorus girls. Oh, no. She asked where he was from, and he said San Diego. Ooh, I've been there. squealed my mom excitedly.

Chapter 6: What funny celebrity encounter stories are shared?
Chapter 7: How does one navigate without getting lost?
I was going to say that. Like, not have to perform and be someone... Just have a conversation with the lady. Yeah.
With a British lady.
Yeah.
Who's not going to be like, guess who I talked to? I think it's funny that he said he was from San Diego. Where's he from? The Bay Area. Yeah, maybe he was like born in San Diego or maybe he was just like, don't worry about it.
Sure.
Yeah, like he's trying to keep the image. We're back in the email now. Anyway, with Robin Williams in mind, it seems appropriate to thank you for your openness around mental health and all the wonderful donations you make to such worthy causes. Also for the laughs and education you have given me over the years. Keep up the good work, ladies, and love to the animals. Jodi, she, her. Aw, Jodi.
Jodi, thank you. Great email.
I mean, Jodi, top to bottom, just a delightful email. It felt like a good conversation that we just had with Jodi, but it was just one-sided. And Jodi's in Denmark. Yeah.
The chances of us being able to have this conversation were so rare. Yeah. And she made it happen. Also, can I just do a quick brag that one time when I was in... When I lived in San Francisco, I was at Green Apple Books, which is a bookstore in, now I can't remember what neighborhood it's in, but it's very well known. I feel like it's down near Fishman's Wharf, but I'm probably wrong.
