• How Melvin and Daniel are not worrying about Spoilers anymore because most people only listen to episodes of movies/shows they’ve already seen 
• Vin Diesel 
• Calling your Insurance to see if they’ll cover an in-patient “vacation” to The Center – A Place of Hope 
• Sadness as a community bonding experience 
• Brainstorming an ‘Inside Out’ sequel except this time it’s adults
