The “Rant of the Day”:

• Why so few women? The “Get Women for Bolelli Campaign”. Bring us some ladies as listeners and we’ll even shower and wear deodorant for our female audience.
• The Thranduil dilemma. When evil is running loose, and the world is getting destroyed, can you afford to shut yourself away in a tiny, safe forest?
• Until I bring happiness to all, fix all environmental problems, and defeat Death, I am a complete failure.
• I understand all too well Black Elk’s pain.
• The Bodhisatva path: I will not access full enlightenment until the last blade of grass is enlightened.
• The Bodhisatva wakes up in the middle of the night with pearls of sweat running down his spine.
• How to affect the environment you live in.
• Heroism in the face of hopelessness.
• Chapter 8 of On the Warrior’s Path: “The Warrior as Bodhisatva”.

The “I Have A Dream” Corner:

• Iz “I need to go back in the dream to save him.”
• High as a baby.
• Who’s that dog barking? Oh… it’s me.

The “Storytelling Moment”:

• Little Norwegian boy driving a car: “I’m not a boy. I’m a dwarf who forgot his driving license.”
• The epic tale of Hugh Glass and the grizzly.

The “Iz Moment”:

• Broke a promise? Then chop your ear off.
• I wanna see the movie where they cut his father’s head off and he wants revenge.
• I really like the song, but not the meaning. I don’t wanna be like other girls. I wanna be like me.

The “Ask Bolelli” Corner:

• How to find a spiritual practice in the midst of parenting an infant: micro-meditation.
• Self-indulgence balanced with healthy/altruistic actions.
• I love mid-life crisis.
• Taoism: philosophy or religion?
• Fighting or not fighting–that is the question. No attachment to outcome.
