  • Brian C. Muraresku: Could Jesus Exist Without Psychedelics?
    Apr 30 2024

    HIGH on GOD. The SHOCKING LINK between Stoned Greek witches, Christianity, early Civilization & Shrooms.

    Best-selling Author, Brian C. Muraresku, (The Immortality Key) explores if Jesus might actually be the Greek God Dionysus.

    He explains how ancient Greeks believed that experiencing your death “before you die” actually provides you the chance for immortality.

    We go deep and learn about links between early Christianity and Ancient Greek mystical practices, including altered states as a way to be in touch with the spiritual realm, the true origins of Catholicism’s body and blood of Christ, and the pivotal role Greek witches played in shaping early Christianity.

    Brian also breaks down:

    - How the wine used today in church differs from the psychedelic-infused wine of Ancient Greece

    - More than metaphor: What it actually means to ingest the body and blood of Christ

    - Sorcery vs Scripture

    - Lay down and die: “Incubation” as a path to enlightenment

    - The dangers of psychedelic use without prep work and appropriate processing

    - Why he chooses not to use psychedelics himself

    Join us as we explore these questions, backed by compelling historical evidence and expert insights that will challenge everything you thought you knew about religious history and Western Civilization as we understand it.

  • From Beauty School to First Lady, with Cheryl Hines!
    Apr 23 2024

    Could Cheryl Hines become America's next FIRST LADY?

    On this BRAND NEW episode of MBB, we break down her journey from Comedian to possible political royalty.

    Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm) joins us in the MBB studio this week to say goodbye to her long-running character in the final season of CURB, and to discuss how she still manages to find the comedy and fun in the midst of her husband Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s campaign for president!

    They chat about Mayim’s guest role on CURB and her out-of-the-box audition process, whether Cheryl ever wishes her own character had the opportunity to evolve, and the huge loss of Cheryl’s close friend and longtime co-star Richard Lewis.

    Cheryl also opens up about:

    - The hilarious way Larry David introduced her to her now husband, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

    - Why Larry didn’t think her relationship with Robert would last

    - What it was like marrying into the Kennedy dynasty, especially as someone who didn’t grow up with politics

    - How Robert Kennedy’s bid for the presidency has changed their relationship + how Cheryl is fitting into the world of politics now

    - What it feels like to know there’s a chance she could be the First Lady?!

    - The struggle to reel in her comedy instincts while she’s on the campaign trails

    - Navigating security threats & ways she manages the stress of her new life in the political realm

    PLUS Cheryl reflects on the ways her improv background translates to other areas of her life, her humble beginnings growing up in Florida, and she and Mayim share their O.J. Simpson bar stories!

A great listen no matter who you are

Mayim covers a variety of topics, typically mental health related, but always from a scientific perspective. She is open and honest about her own experiences which translates to the listener feeling like she is your new best friend. She's funny, intelligent and though provoking.

Fantastic episode. Thank you Mayim and Leslie!

This episode had me weeping. Thank you Mayim and Leslie for sharing his life story, struggle with addiction, depression, coming out as gay and living his life on his terms in a homophobic society. He lived it all with such grace and love for others that Leslie is truly an inspiration. I only wish he had more time on this planet. <3

Such an amazing concept

I love that these episodes are well articulated and intelligent. I have a “wow moment” in nearly every episode and it has opened up many new subjects that I can relate to and research. The episodes contain so much information from many voices and points of view but are easily communicated with humor and empathy. Love it
