    I'm Bryan Russ & I'm a comedian, author, voice artist, radio personality, chef, humanist, activist, animal lover, fitness runner, & strong realized empath with over 15 years of experience as an energetic empath. Bryar Patch Media is the brand for the podcast, books, comedy albums, videos, and anything & everything I'm working on!


    Who we are:

    Energetic empaths, paranormal enthusiasts, researchers, & investigators, mental health & quality of life advocates, freethinkers & freedom fighters who look at the totality of our culture & times to identify any & all regressive/oppressive systems & attitudes in our world. To bring about better clarity, mental, emotional, & spiritual health, advocacy & hope for people & the so they feel more empowered, balanced, happy & free. We're also a resource for empaths & highly sensitive people, & paranormal believers who take on the subject with a balanced, skeptical but open-minded approach! As empaths we have a clairvoyant wisdom to the subject matter.


    What it's all about:

    This is a podcast about the paranormal, cryptids, and all unexplained phenomena, as well as a resource for empaths to uncover & better understand the phenomenon in a down to earth & accessible way. We talk about robust mental health for regular people & empaths alike & we take on systems & attitudes that oppress & exploit people.

    What we care about:

    We strive to build a community (Empath Tribe) for regular people, empaths, those struggling with mental health imperfections, & people having a hard time finding opportunities, meaning, & balance in this world. We strive for best practices & sustainable outcomes in our culture. We talk about real life stuff in a straightforward & honest way & try to keep the show both impactful, thoughtful, fun & playful as well.


    Our background:

    Bryan Russell is the main host of the show, with a background in the military, as an EMT, phlebotomist, massage therapist, energy healer, chef, radio technician & radio personality. My biggest love is being a chef, having worked from Cook to Head Chef & everything in between! When I was in school I came to the realization I had the ability to sense vibes, energies, intentions, & emotions that aren't always my own. I can pick up on residual energies & spirits, often with the ability to sense the past & different types of people & emotions that once inhabited an area, or an actual spirit haunting a location. I'm a full-time comedian, podcaster, researcher, voice artist, author, & lover of the funner, more cheerful, & compassionate side of life.


    Rebecca Russell is my wife, best friend, & co-host of the show. Also an empath, she & I have come to learn much about the the spirit realm & the unexplained. In real life we're just down to earth people with a relaxed & fun sensibility. Sometimes we're fun-loving & humorous, sometimes we're deep & very real. Rebecca was a medical assistant for over 18 years in a major pediatric office & now works as a customer service supervisor for a major grocery store. We're all about trying to make the world feel more comfortable, fair, less punitive, more classy, fun-loving, & have more positive energy, fairness, dignity, & good cheer.

  • Empaths vs Dark Empaths, Our Final Thoughts, See You Soon on YouTube at Chef Bry Comedy!
    Jul 5 2023

    On this lighthearted final episode of Surviving Empathy Podcast, Rebecca and I first explore the difference between dark empaths and empaths, and all the ins and outs of that. Then, we'll get into the heart of what this show was always really all about, what we're trying to accomplish, and who we've been trying to help and why. We'll talk about what we learned about podcasting as a medium, and what we learned about the modern world today as empaths and older wiser people. We'll talk about our advice and takeaways on how to find and keep good mental health, robust living, and a happiness and joy in your life that endures for downhome people just like us. Just average every day regular people who aren't rich and who depend on a good economy and the word to function in order to make it. Finally, in my final spiel at the end, I will talk about what we want for YOU, what we hope for and expect for ourselves and the Chef Bry Comedy Brand, and what we truly want for our audience and the world! At the end of the day, this was a 2 year-long adventure, an experiment whereby energy is intention. We trusted in and relied on good vibes, goodness and kindness, and thoughtfulness and earnestness, but with a keen sense of humor to take us to so many good places. But it hasn't all been paved with gold! It's been a lot of good, a little bit bad, and some wholly unexpected kind people to support us and become our true real-life friends! Much of it exposed the dirty seedy underbelly of the world and people, and the real business of becoming a content creator, and we want to share our experience and advice with you! Thank you all so very much for your friendship, encouragement, and support over the years. It's been quite an experience to say the very least! But at the end of the day this isn't goodbye, so much as, we will see you later on the YouTube space! We might be done podcasting for now, but we've just begun when it comes to creating thoughtful, educational, and genuine, positive but real content. As always, we will continue to advocate for good regular down-to-earth folks, for good mental health outcomes and better living for all those regular people struggling out there, those empaths and sensitives, those misfits and introverts in these oftentimes unusual times plagued with hate and divisiveness, pitfalls, road blocks, and dead ends. But just as we like to say, where there's a will there's a way! With the right mindset, the right strategy, and the right approach and internal consistency, we can all get there and find the life we all so richly want, need, and deserve! A huge thanks to all of our friends, family, and supporters, we couldn't have believed in ourself and done it without you! Soon we'll be on YouTube, so instead of saying goodbye, let me just say thanks and we'll see you soon!


    With love and gratitude,


    Bry and Rebecca

  • Alien Fever! UFO Whistleblower, Aliens in the Headlines, Beyond Skinwalker Ranch, Portals & the Paranormal
    Jun 28 2023

    On this fun and mind-bending episode, we go down the rabbit hole and consider the existence of possible extra-terrestrials and UFOs, portals, and other possible paranormal phenomenon. There's a new rise in attention and popularity of this once fringe subject that is now gaining a lot of mainstream credibility and attention, causing somewhat of a paradigm shift in our cultural thinking about the subject, and an uproar of attention in our culture today. We want to try to understand what all this could mean for our culture and society today. New whistleblowers coming out, new government task forces being created, new advocacy and reporting agencies for pilots and witnesses over the ever-increasing sightings of possible exotic crafts, and dare I say, the possible existence of aliens and the possible human/alien encounters and relations! There seems to be a real newfound surge in mainstream interest in UAP/UFO phenomenon and possible exotic foreign craft and creature sightings! So, we want to get to the heart of the matter, to try to understand what all the implications could mean, as we consider the possibility of what's really going on here?! The implications for our planet, of our culture and society, of our economy and culture, and the scientific and spiritual ramifications as well! At the end of the day, it's a good time to be a believer, and we want to get down to the absolute truth! It's a phenomenon that used to be panned as fringe nonsense and sci-fi fantasy, but there's a lot of very credible evidence and witnesses on this phenomenon now from very credible sources that gives this phenomenon newfound traction and credibility that's fascinating at best, and terrifying at worst! Let's go down the rabbit hole together, and learn all that can be derived from this alien fever going on in the media today!


    We'll be on YouTube once this podcast season is finished! Radio podcasters going video! Please do subscibe, it costs you absolutely nothing but helps us so very much! New videos are coming out soon, once this season is over in 1 more episode!

Fun, funny, positive, and thoughtful.

Every episode is positive but relatable, and has so much conversational and thoughtful things to say. A terrific resource for empaths or anyone struggling in life. This host really seems to know and get what's going on in the world, and chose to do something about it. I find myself relistening over and over because it's so relaxing and easy to listen to. It's a little bit about life, a little bit about mental health and robust living, it's a little bit about the paranormal, but throughout, it's consistent and always with a clear mission, which is to help regular folks fight for their rights and learn ways to find betterment and encouragement in this life. I'm a huge fan, and I love how down to earth he/ they are!
