We’re back on February 19th to bravely explore the greatest issues of our time. Like what types of horses are hottest, and why. Not enough people are talking about what types of horses are the hottest, and almost no one is talking about the “why!” Not to worry, we WILL discuss.

The show starts in 3 minutes! And as for right now? We’re just standing around the water cooler, alone. No White Lotus cast. They “shot on location in Italy.” Probably not to avoid sharing the studio with us or anything. Right? Yeah. Sure they’d love to hang some other time.
