Plate & Ponder is funny, honest, and incredibly relatable. The banter is hilarious, the disagreements are familiar, and the affection underneath it all is unmistakable. It truly is a case of the humor in life keeping us grounded…especially when you don’t have it all figured out. I get it! It feels like pulling up a chair at a dinner table where the conversation is honest, funny, and surprisingly comforting.
