Time for a little spring cleaning: specifically, of Walls' teeth! After Rachel and Walls both express satisfaction with their dentists, Walls gives an update on her answer from last week, and also shares her great experience taking Bystander Intervention training. Rachel figures out what kind of exercise gets her motivated (Circus/aerial skills), and Walls speculates about the existence of aliens (she wants to believe...at least in extraterrestrial bacteria). Walls recommends a podcast episode to help you add some new tools to your conflict resolution and communication toolbox. Rachel recommends a list of outrageous AI-generated pickup lines to give you a much needed laugh.
