Today: The great Seinfeld divide, funny or not funny, Sarah's fulfilling time on 82nd Avenue buying a canvas for a painting, tall woman and coke cans, buy a tiny town and watch out for meteorites, and have a great afternoon!

Grab a cocktail for an intimate + real conversation with Natalie Puche who is still navigating her faith journey while juggling a new chapter of her career with motherhood. Between confessing a lack of purpose to asking who wrote the Bible, who run hells and if God + science coexist, Natalie goes in on the tough questions. And leads us down a rabbit hole of reincarnation/purgatory, then to Housewives doing ayahuasca and toad venom. This episode touches on everything & you'll just have to listen to it to get it ;) Either way, you'll leave feeling like you're part of the family too, and become besties with Nat and Thania.

Laugh at Pat presents Pat's Poetry Place! a poetry corner filled with emotion, anguish, social commentary, and thriving pulsating ART!!! Because Pat stands behind the platform that eARTh with out ART is just EH. So strap in for some raw, unfiltered, unchecked, and untalented SLAM POETRY, in a way that poetry has never been experienced before on this planet. This is Pat's Poetry Corner and this is the voice from the underground that's stolen control of the broadcast system, forcing extreme, passionate, chafed, TRUTH down the throats of the MAINSTREAM

Great TV Shows and potentially even better spin-offs take center stage on this week's episode. Ryan gushes on and on about cartoons. The Rock makes an appearance on somebody's list and spoiler... it is waaaay too high.

What shows will make the lists? What show will top the Ultimate List? 

Sit back and relax as you listen to our guest today Karl Cook.

Karl is a professional equestrian who went through a HUGE and I mean HUGE! shift in mindset when it comes to understanding bonding with horses after he experienced a plateau which nearly ended his career, but luckily after meeting Eric Navet who is still Karl's trainer and long time friend, kickstarted his ongoing incline of successes. 

We discuss some terrific topics in this episode, from Karls incredible veggie patch and hidden masterchef skills, his 2 year anniversary with Kaley and how there will never be enough animals for this amazing couple, who are true advocates to saving and helping animals in all shapes and sizes. Karl and I also delve into his unfortunate fall last year and his journey with Kalinka (who is now back jumping yay!)
