When your person dies, they don't take ANY of their stuff with them, and we are left to deal with it. Sometimes it causes fights, sometimes it causes paralysis by analysis, sometimes it is a comfort. Anita and Mel discuss the topic of possessions in this widowsode.

Meet widower, Brandon Janous. Married to an amazing lady named Rachel, who, was perhaps a figment of his imagination (except she can't be, because they had 3 kids together). RV living, Swiss cheese,  and fitted sheets are some of the topics the trio travels through in this episode.

Perhaps the coolest dude with the coolest job ever that is helping make necessary conversations happen in the world is our friend Bryan Martin, or, more affectionately known as Sea Lion Bryan.

Anita and Mel discuss similarities, differences, and open up all the cans of worms! This topic is not easily cut and dried, but is important for opening up the discussion.
