In the first half, cosmologist and professor of physics Brian Keating discussed how the universe may have come into existence and various astronomy-related topics. Keating is the inventor of the BICEP (Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization). This technology glimpses the earliest fossil relics of our universe, which come in the form of gravitational waves. Data has shown that the universe is expanding at an increasing rate, every single day, every single second, and every single year, he pointed out. "And because of that...that means yesterday the universe is slightly smaller. And if you go back enough yesterdays, you come to a time in which all those galaxies were in the same point. That point is sometimes called the Big Bang, the initial singularity which unleashed into the universe all the structures that we see now," Keating explained.
In 1965, the microwave and radio imprint of the oldest light in the universe was discovered-- it occurred 380,000 years after the Big Bang, he detailed, adding that scientists are still studying this initial glow. The new Giant Magellan Telescope, which is being built in Chile, will examine this first glow. Speaking about the concept of a multiverse, he noted that it's a "consequence" of various cutting-edge physics theories like string theory, which suggests that as matter is divided into smaller and smaller particles, it allows for infinite manifestations. Further, the notion of an expanding or inflating universe indicates the existence of a multiverse, he added. Keating also touched on issues related to the competitiveness surrounding the Nobel Prize, and actor Terrence Howard's controversial and viral claims about mathematics and technology.

In the latter half, spiritual catalyst, intuitive, and multi-dimensional channel Lori Spagna talked about developing intuition and aligning with one's soul agenda for personal growth and well-being. She described intuition as an inner knowing that develops over time, and may include various extrasensory abilities like clairvoyance. Living in accordance with intuition leads to self-trust, virtues, and a higher ideal, benefiting all, with no harm to anyone, Spagna outlined. We should listen to the inspiring voices in our head that can come from our higher self or "divine team," but beware of unhelpful voices (which might stem from a trickster or demon). If the latter happens, she suggested that individuals affirm sovereignty over their mental space, which requires tricksters to leave.
She described her communicative work with what she calls the "Collective"-- a team of hundreds of angelic beings, ascended masters, Animal Kingdom members, and even the consciousness of Mother Earth. Within the Collective, she also interacts with the "Fleet," whom she said are interstellar, intergalactic beings. These beings are non-physical, "but they have the ability to traverse different frequency ranges or bandwidths." When connecting with them, she said she merges with them at their frequency of consciousness in order to bring their insights through. Spagna also discussed the unique abilities of animal companions to perceive and understand human emotions, as well as their role in providing emotional support. During the last hour, she gave readings to callers.
