Lisa Kudrow (Friends, The Comeback) reveals some of the most astonishing stories and ideas she's ever shared publicly, from mysterious messages received after her mother's passing to profound spiritual experiences that challenged her understanding of reality itself. Lisa opens up about supernatural events surrounding her mom's death, the unexplained text messages she received from beyond, and her family's experiences with an energy worker, including a remarkable moment when her son seemingly communicated that he was okay. She also shares why she was captivated by The Telepathy Tapes and why she believes "there's something going on" beyond our current scientific understanding. She explores what she learned about the nature of reality through playing "Phoebe Buffay", whether childhood imaginary friends might not be imaginary after all, and her thought-provoking perspective on why we're here, and why perhaps we're not meant to fully understand the spiritual side of existence. Lisa also discusses concrete examples of how spirituality can provide guidance when modern science falls short, the role of intuition and her inner voice in shaping her life's biggest decisions, and her mind-bending theories about possible causes of dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The conversation dives deep into creativity, consciousness, and human connection as Lisa explains why acting is ultimately an exercise in empathy, whether great actors may actually be channeling real people, and how portraying "Phoebe" transformed the way she thinks about life, consciousness, and the unseen world around us. Lisa also reflects on recently watching Friends episodes for the first time, revealing how her perspective on "Phoebe" has changed over the years, and shares the invaluable lessons her co-stars taught her about openness, playfulness, and unlocking creativity as an actor. She discusses why she chose acting over medical school, how those career-defining decisions unfolded, and what her intuition continues to tell her about future entertainment projects. Plus, Lisa breaks down why she loves Mayim Bialik's Breakdown and The Big Bang Theory series, and explains why specific episodes resonated with her so deeply, including conversations with Thomas Campbell, Anita Moorjani, Dr. James B. Glattfelder, Dr. Ellen Langer, Dr. Kevin Knuth, and Dr. Tara Swart. Enjoy Lisa's deeply personal exploration of the mysteries that exist at the edges of science, spirituality, creativity, and human experience, as she reflects on life's biggest questions—from consciousness and intuition to grief, purpose, and the possibility of something beyond what we can currently explain!

Former CIA Targeting Officer Sarah Adams reveals what she believes are some of the biggest national security threats facing the United States today, and why many Americans may have a false sense of security about the future. In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Sarah explains why the U.S. could be more vulnerable to terrorist attacks than many realize, whether the U.S. is currently facing an active terrorist threat, and how the same types of intelligence disconnects that contributed to 9/11 could still exist today. She breaks down why we need to rethink what a future homeland attack might actually look like, how terrorist organizations are evolving, and why groups like Al Qaeda may be more widespread than ever. Sarah shares shocking insights into sleeper cells operating within the U.S., foreign actors intentionally fueling political division to increase influence, the strategic relationship between Al Qaeda, Iran, and Syria, and why many terrorist groups are now organized around waves of coordinated attacks. She also discusses emerging security concerns, including airport vulnerabilities, the return of threats similar to the Shoe Bomb and the rise of "invisible" bombs, and what she believes went wrong from a security standpoint during the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting incident. Drawing from years spent targeting some of the world's most dangerous terrorists, Sarah recounts how she helped capture the Taliban's number two leader, the intelligence work that made it possible, and what qualities allowed her to gather critical information in some of the most hostile environments on Earth. We also explore intelligence deception campaigns, how disinformation operations work, and the warning signs people should recognize when evaluating information online. Sarah reveals what it was like to interrogate Middle Eastern male detainees as a Western woman, how individuals become radicalized, and the indoctrination systems inside terrorist camps that determine whether recruits become fighters, suicide bombers, propagandists, or support personnel. She explains how corruption within humanitarian systems can allow resources to be diverted toward terrorist organizations and how ordinary people may unknowingly contribute to funding foreign terrorist camps. We also break downHavana Syndrome, alleged energy weapon incidents, reports involving an investigator connected to the Epstein case, and what is currently known (and still unknown) about these controversial claims. Sarah also discusses the role of social media algorithms in radicalization, whether platforms like TikTok are shaping the opinions of younger generations, and the broader information war being fought online. She opens up about living under a bounty, receiving threats from terrorist organizations, dealing with alleged surveillance around her home, and how she manages the psychological stress that comes with being a target. She shares practical advice on disaster preparedness, what average citizens can do to become more resilient during crises, and why the culture of terrorism has far more to do with ideology, power, and human behavior than religion itself. This conversation will challenge the way you think about terrorism, national security, online influence, and the risks that could define the next decade!

Dr. Diana Walsh Pasulka — professor of religious studies, author of The Others: UFOs, AI, and the Secret Forces Guiding Human Destiny — is here to answer one of the most controversial and fascinating questions of our time: what if many of humanity’s oldest spiritual encounters weren’t interpreted correctly at all? Dr. Pasulka breaks down: - Shocking similarities between alien abductions & purgatory that first pulled her into UAP research - Whether historical Catholic supernatural experiences would be interpreted today as UFO encounters - Why many researchers believe we need to radically rethink the concept of “aliens” - Physiology of UAP encounters and how experiencers may access altered states or different parts of the brain - Carl Jung’s theory that UFOs could emerge from the unconscious mind - Why belief in nonhuman intelligence is rapidly increasing, and why it may function as a modern religion - Reports throughout Catholic history describing encounters with nonhuman entities - Whether aerospace engineers and scientists are receiving “downloads” or ideas from nonhuman intelligence - Recent deaths and disappearances of scientists connected to nuclear and aerospace programs (Are they connected to UAP research?) - Why proof of nonhuman intelligence may NOT destroy religious belief - Why some people believe AI could be the antichrist, while others think resisting AI is the true danger - Whether governments are in a position to confirm historical religious events - Psychedelics, altered states, and historical encounters with nonhuman intelligence - Why certain people appear far more open to supernatural experiences than others - Hidden role sci-fi plays as a framework for understanding modern UFO phenomena - Real function of religion and how humanity uses belief systems to explain what science still can’t - Measurable physical & neurological benefits of prayer - Whether humanity is heading toward a religious revival, or if religion has become too politicized to recover This episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown explores the intersection of UFOs, religion, consciousness, AI, mysticism, Catholicism, neuroscience, psychedelics, government secrecy, and the future of human belief itself. If you’re interested in UAP disclosure, nonhuman intelligence, ancient religions, consciousness research, alien encounters, spiritual experiences, or the future of AI, this conversation will challenge everything you think you know!

In this special Substack Live Re-Air, Jonathan talks with Babak Hodjat — PhD in AI, co-inventor of the natural language technology behind Siri, and one of the founding architects of agentic AI. They explore two questions: where is the world going next, and what does it mean to be human in the era of AI? Technology is becoming more intelligent by the day, and asking about our place within it has never mattered more. Babak was among a small group of researchers in the late 1990s who were building systems that could not only understand us, but also anticipate us and act on our behalf. Then, Babak’s vision became Siri. AI began by predicting the next word in a sentence. Now, we have systems that reason, translate, write poetry, and even display empathy. As we explore this new world, we must remember that it mirrors us. If it becomes destructive, it is because we are. If it is good, it is because we are. Its brilliance is in our hands.
