A creative couple talks about making it work. Jeff Claassen Jeff Claassen claassengallery@gmail.com yes 12. The DNA And Green Delivery Episode Coral finds out she's part Viking and also gets a little confused about what green delivery is. In this episode Coral talks about her DNA results (which includes 1100+ relatives and some Viking blood), Jeff contemplates becoming a pothead and Coral learns she's not as smart as she thinks she is when confronted with a "green delivery" service salesman. Also, this marks our one year anniversay! We've averaged one episode per month in this first year of podcasting, so don't get too excited. "Real" podcasters publish about 52 episodes in the time we've published 12. But hey, we've got a lot on our plates. Anyway, thanks for tuning in and listening to our rambling nonsense. We're small potatoes in the world of podcasting so sponsors aren't exactly knocking down our door, but if you'd like to support us please check out our shop, Viva Paso at 1211 Pine St in downtown Paso Robles CA (www.vivapaso.com) and you can buy Jeff's fancy artwork online at www.jeffclaassen.com.

The Margarita Episode Coral and Jeff have a major dilemma. All the kids are gone and they have the house to themselves and no idea what to do with the rare opportunity. They decided to cook enchilada's, drink margarita's and get stupid. Jeff and Coral are presented with a very rare and exciting opportunity. All the kids are gone for the night and they have the house to themselves. What will they do with with this amazing gift? Do they go out for a fancy date night? See a show? No. They stay home, make enchiladas, drink margaritas and talk about everything from vigilante justice that involves somebody's hand and a garbage disposal, gender neutral bathrooms, their first drunken experiences, high school house party keggers hosted by Jeff's sister, turning 40 and we can't even remember what else. Cheers!

Retail Rant Another late night discussion about how Jeff needs to find "his style", bad yelp reviews, loving customers while wanting to fire other customers, the infamous barf bouquet and other unsavory things that go down on the Viva Paso bench. Welcome to Episode 10: RETAIL RANT! Jeff and Coral sit down for a late night discussion about how Jeff needs to find "his style", bad yelp reviews, loving customers while wanting to fire other customers, the infamous barf bouquet and other unsavory things that go down on the Viva Paso bench. If you've ever owned or worked in a retail shop you can certainly relate and if you haven't this might give you a little taste of what working retail is like.

BONUS: Coral loses her marbles (she was drinking rosé) and offers a freebie to listeners, so be sure to keep your ears open for that.

Coral Goes To The Women's March Sometimes things get so bad even introverts leave the house to get involved. You'd have to be dead or living under a rock to not know about the Women's March that took place on January 21, 2017, the day after the U.S. Presidential Inauguration. We are lucky enough to live close to a town that hosted one of the 100's of marches that took place around the globe and this episode is Coral's account of her experience marching in solidarity with more people than she ever thought possible. We hope you enjoy it.

Social Media and Originality Versus Playing It Safe Our relationship with social media and a behind the scenes glimpse of how we operate our store. Coral and Jeff talk about social media, marketing and staying original versus playing it safe. There is a lot of discussion about their shop, Viva Paso, the catalyst for opening a retail store and how Coral thought Instagram was strictly a photo editing app the first 10 months she was using it. Wow...

Friends With Exes, Too Many Partners And The Saturn Return Coral and Jeff discuss staying friends with exes, how many partners is too many, and the mysterious Saturn return. Coral gets pretty heated when talking about her feelings regarding the idea of remaining friends with exes as well as how many partners one must experience before finding the one.

Is Sexting Cheating? Let's get to the bottom of this. Once and for all. Coral has wanted to do a podcast since 2014. We finally recorded something a few nights ago. The idea for this discussion came about because a high school friend posted "Is sexting cheating?" on Facebook. It got a lot of responses, but they were all "yes" and "no" answers. I wanted to respond, but there are just so many variable to consider and I found myself answering the question in my head all day. I ended up not responding to their post, but knew it could be a topic worth discussing. Enjoy! If you have any questions or comment please send a DM to our Instagram: @vivapaso. Thanks for listening!
