Adam is 930, everything hurts, and Seth wants a definition of “pain.” (Spoiler: nobody has one.) While the angels step out for a worship break, the Adversary clocks in and Eve gets blamed for…well, everything, again. The hosts roast the logic of angelic babysitters who take a coffee break right when the talking snake shows up, and we head down a rabbit hole of “divine consequences” that read more like management malpractice than cosmic justice.
Then it’s a side-quest worthy of a RPG: Eve and Seth trek toward Paradise to beg for a drop of the Oil of Mercy for Adam’s aches, only to get ambushed by a serpent that bites Seth; until Seth tells it off like a bouncer at closing time. Enter Michael the Archangel, who basically says, “no oil for you… for 5,500 years,” because prophecy.
The episode skewers the late-stage editorial stuffing where the text fast-forwards from Adam’s death to Queen of Sheba lore and a miraculous branch that somehow becomes the very wood of the Cross—a tidy bow, if your favorite genre is retroactive foreshadowing.
We close with Adam’s burial, a celestial brass section of angels, Eve’s four-day funeral (Adam got seven, cool cool), and the “make two tablets, stone and clay, so at least one survives” disaster-prep tip. It’s equal parts myth, patchwork theology, and sitcom timing; perfect for a snarky breakdown you didn’t know you needed. Listen, laugh, and question why divine timelines always come with fine print.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
