The hosts discuss various skills they intend to master, including riding a motorbike and solving a Rubik's Cube. Glen expresses interest in completing his Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) to ride a bike for commuting. They also mention a mutual friend, Paul, who is a guitar teacher and Rubik's Cube expert, as a resource for ticking off these bucket list items.

Collins advises listeners to treat thoughts like television channels, choosing whether to engage or "flick" past them. She introduces a three-part test for intrusive thoughts: asking if the thought is kind, true, or helpful before deciding to acknowledge or dismiss it.
