In this episode of The Patrick Coffin Show, host Patrick sits down with the amazing Kamala Harris impersonator Ester Paltilova (Estee Palti) in a free-wheeling improvised exchange. As political polarization intensifies, humor often becomes both a unifying force and effective coping tool. Estee (a wife and mom of young kids, and a professional nurse) drops truth bombs about the high wire walked by comedians in an era where people are quick to take offense.
Estee and Patrick dive into how satire and humor can open up difficult conversations and discuss the absurdities of modern life with family and friends. Estee explains how comedians today have a responsibility to both entertain and provoke thought, while also navigating the ever-evolving boundaries of what’s considered "acceptable" in comedy.
The conversation also touches on the growing trend of cancel culture and the impact it has on artistic expression, despite pressures to conform. Ultimately, the episode underscores how laughter can be a powerful antidote to division, helping us connect and—maybe—transcend differences.

In this episode of The Patrick Coffin Show, host Coffin critiques a recent interview between Jordan Peterson and Zeena Schreck, daughter of Anton Szandor LeVay (born Levey, 1930-1997). With direct quotes, Coffin expresses concern over the normalization of occult and satanic figures in mainstream discussions, arguing that Peterson's platforming of Schreck inadvertently lends credibility to her controversial past as a high priestess in the church of satan.
Coffin dissects the conversation, highlighting what appears to be Peterson's failure to critically engage with the spiritual dangers associated with the new tantric Buddhism, which replaced her Satanism after a leadership stint in the Sethian Liberation Movement (SLM), another occultic sect.
She has distanced herself from her previous satanic beliefs, but the Peterson interview fails to provide cautionary context regarding the influences of diabolical ideologies. Confused and suffering people like Zeena Schreck deserve the clarity of the fullness of truth and healing found uniquely in Christ. Peterson’s gnostic-Jungian biases, however, seem to prevent him from bringing an objective, biblical critique to the self-rationalizing narrative laid down by his guest.
The episode encourages listeners to approach crucial interviews like this with discernment, especially when discussing spirituality and metaphysical basics like good and evil— matters that not only impact personal perceptions of morality and faith, but of reality itself.
Covered in this episode:
The dangers of reducing a satanist monster like Anton LeVay into a mere “carnival barker” or “showman”
Evidence that his daughter Zeena Schreck is still bound in some way by evil spirits
Why Jesus Christ is the only answer to the reality of satanic influence and infiltration
What happens when true evil is banalized as a mere human construct
