  <description>Liv Harrison is in studio for the first time in 16 months! Taylor &amp;amp; her in the same room always brings some comedy and drama lol. They kick off the show by talking about summer: Taylor's recent tubing trip, a Summer activity Liv has never done &amp;amp; the return of summer blockbusters.
Next, Taylor saw a Beyond Meat commercial and Arby's commercial back to back and it made him think about the Church (huh?). In a quickly changing world, the Catholic Church (and Arby's) remain steadfast.
Finally, Taylor reveals one of his biggest pet peeves: people not wanting to improve. He shares stories of how he's seen this play out professionally, spiritually and in coaching. He compliments Liv deeply in the segment and also lashes out at her. Perfect way to end the show. Enjoy!
