Wherein CC and Val pose more “what if” questions. From who would you like to be for one day, to if you could be any animal, to what if you woke up in an alternative universe the questions lead from the frivolous to deeper issues like waste, climate change and infrastructure. Say what? I mean, what would you do with 10 billion? And what do cannoli’s have to do with anything?

Wherein CC and Val talk surprises; some people love ‘em, some not so much. And there are degrees of surprises, not all of them welcome. Some delight, some scare.

Wherein CC and Val discuss what it means to be mindful.  How do we cultivate mindfulness—and its proven benefits—in our daily lives? And what does it mean to turn the other cheek? Or switch the mental track from “uh, oh” to “oh, boy!”  Maybe instead of being mindful of our concerns, we could be mindful of our blessings...?

Wherein CC and Val talk about how money messages from our past can impact our choices in the present and cloud relationships. One way worthiness issues show up. And love enters into it, but money never seems to be an issue on soap operas. What’s that about?

Wherein CC and Val share their overt contempt for the current phase of bloated lips, butt cheeks and boob jobs. Who crowned the crazy K family queens? And what does that say about our cultural value system? There's two sides to  everything, and plastic surgery is no  exception.

Wherein CC and Val go diving into deeper waters and discuss the difference between some big concepts: what does it mean to live in spirit? What’s an organizing principle? What does a wild stallion and a saddle have to do with anything? And did Mel Books get it right on the Mount? As Val says, we need to get a little spiritual—even in our religion.
