Bev is back! This week we breakdown our recent episodes with Kunal Nayyar, Ricki Lake & Abby Epstein, Glennon Doyle, and Rick Doblin alongside Mayim’s mother Bev. After contemplating whether or not Kunal was deeply profound or just acting the part of ‘Buddha in Jeans,’ we tackle the idea of ageism in Bev’s critique on our first show addressing women’s health. We also discuss the idea of ‘self esteem’ in today’s age of empowerment and how our show on MDMA brought back some old experiences with Bev’s undulating Mescaline trips.

Unlock the secrets of human potential & self-actualization with Scott Barry Kaufman, Ph.D. (cognitive psychologist, host of the #1 psychology podcast in the world - The Psychology Podcast, author of Rise Above)! Kaufman explains the mysteries of extrasensory perception and how he now believes in past-life transgressions. He unravels the complexities of a ADHD diagnosis and how ADHD could be a sign of giftedness not just a disorder. Mayim and Jonathan explore with Kaufman the shocking link between trauma, creativity, and intelligence. Discover how labels like "learning disability" can be shattered to overcome anxiety and depression, how we all might be neurodiverse, and how cognitive distortions can influence your personality and create a victim mindset. Get ready for his game-changing take on reincarnation, creative genius, and the science of narcissism. Plus, we’re back into unpacking more of the chart-topping podcast, The Telepathy Tapes! Mayim breaks down the scientific framework around collective consciousness and the challenges with proving it scientifically. This is a conversation you won’t want to miss!
Jeffrey Kripal is a professor of Philosophy and Religious Thought at Rice University in Houston, Texas and he is back on the pod to answer all your burning questions about extremely popular podcast THE TELEPATHY TAPES (is it real? Is it a hoax?), near-death experiences and how science falls short when studying the metaphysical. Jeffrey explains how the very attempt at measuring extra-sensory abilities could make them unmeasurable. Mayim and Jeffrey explore the possibility that those with autism, ADHD or who are nonverbal may be able to tap into another realm and how fear plays a large role in limiting our perception of these abilities.
Matthew McConaughey ( Dazed and Confused, Dallas Buyers Club, Greenlights author) takes us on an electrifying journey through his intriguing life, from his intense childhood in which his parents divorced and remarried each other three times, to surviving off a head of lettuce with ketchup in Australia, to his current ambitions considering a run for political office. Matthew details his life-changing quests sparked by having the same wet dream twice and how he puts himself in positions to receive divine, prophetic messages from the universe. He explains why his dad was proud of him for getting into a bar fight, why he cries during births and not deaths, and why his son creates Powerpoint presentations to illustrate why Matthew is wrong. Mayim and Matthew discuss parenthood, and Matthew opens up about the sense of immortality he felt at the birth of his first child. Mayim breaks down binding anxiety and the science behind having gratitude.
