Rainbow Brainskull is back! Who better to kick off the revival with than Lacey Free? Lacey Free is a shadow witch and host of Hoar Pod. She's magic and her first appearance on this show was an audience favorite. This episode is another great one! From Lacey's website: *"I'm Lacey, a wandering soul who thrives on evolution and passion. I bite my lip sometimes nearly bursting with opinions. There is excitement in my eyes, but if you look closely you can see a flame of courage. I am a birth doula. I am a death doula. I am a modern day madam and sex work enthusiast. Being a witch is in my blood. I thought I could never be a healer because I am not fully healed, but then I realized no healer “heals” another being. Healers just hold safe space and resources for another being to heal themself. I am here to hold safe space. I am here to offer plant and herb resources. I am here to invoke the jumping of timelines and travel of dimensions. I am here to wake the Galactic. I am here for the Galactic to wake me." * To learn more about Lacey Free, visit: http://www.instagram.com/laceyisfree http://www.laceyfree.com Links mentioned in this episode: http://rainbowbrainskull.com http://raminnazer.com

Mark Normand is a comedian based in New York City. I first met Mark back in 2010. Since then he’s appeared on The Tonight Show, Conan (6 times), had a special on Comedy Central, opened for Seinfeld, and started one of my favorite podcasts: Tuesdays with Stories (with Mark Normand and Joe List).

In a time when many are busy being trolls or the morality police, Mark has stayed true to writing great material and being an actual touring stand-up comedian. He’s still got it!

In addition to all of that, she manages one of the only women-owned strip clubs in the country! I first heard Lacey on an epic two-part episode of Soberish and knew she had to be a Brainskull guest. I reached out before the episode was even finished and less than a few weeks later we got to record THIS episode AND a bonus episode for Patreon where we’re joined by our mutual friend Jessa Reed on the night of a full moon portal opening. If you missed the moon, don’t worry! The portal never closed.

Robin Eisenberg is one of my favorite artists. She has an iconic style that's instantly recognizable. Most people have seen her work before even knowing who she is. Robin has created her own universe you wish you could step into. It's cozy, futuristic, alien, mysterious, and sexy. I love that it looks good at the large scale AND at the small scale. She'll paint giant murals and then makes the same magic happen on a tiny enamel pin. Or a banana. Robin teaches workshops for Adobe, creates designs for Vans, makes music videos, and is still discovering new ways to expand her style. We talk about making art, world-building, jazz piano, Star Trek, time management, taking care of business, virtual reality, and the need for solitude without feeling isolated. This is one of my favorite episodes ever!

The Teafaerie is a writer, flow arts teacher, space nerd, zero-g enthusiast, superhero, and a billion other things. She is most well-known for her amazing column on Erowid.org and many refer to her as their favorite psychedelic speaker. I first heard The Teafaerie on Future Fossils podcast and ended up listening to her episode over and over again like it was my favorite record. I HAD to have her on my show. So I emailed Michael Garfield and asked for an intro. After much scheduling and rescheduling, we made it happen! The Teafaerie makes me excited about the future. She reminds me how lucky we all to even have avatars right now. Do you know how many people would kill to have an avatar in 2019? Sure we have many challenges we must confront and there will be losses along the way, but how great is it to be alive in this strange ever-accelerating future present? I have never met anyone like the Teafaerie and I’m confident that you haven’t either. She’s a character in her own category and she speaks poetically at lightspeed.

Sean Dunne and Cass Greener are two of my favorite humans/space cadets. They are the creators behind the Very Ape podcast and the Church of Chill. They are also amazing documentary filmmakers with a talent for getting out of the way. Their films are raw yet uniquely engaging and memorable. I first met these magical psychonauts a couple of years ago and I’ve been a Very Ape listener ever since. It’s hard to describe the Very Ape podcast. Nevertheless, I enjoy the official iTunes description: Welcome to the place beyond the bullshit. A high vibration conversation about psychedelic healing, consciousness expansion, revolutionary politics, sex, and art. Sean and Cass are most definitely beyond The Bullshit. They are sweet, honest, caring, adventurous, fun and watching them grow has helped me grow. They felt like old friends within minutes of first meeting them and can’t wait til there’s teleportation so I can see them more often!

Johnny Pemberton is a comedian, actor, writer based in Los Angeles. He’s one of my favorite performers to watch live. Johnny is the voice of ”Peanut” on the Disney XD show Pickle and Peanut. He plays ”Bo” on NBC’s Superstore, ”Max” on You’re The Worst, and ”Alangulon” on Son of Zorn. He has also appeared in many films including 21 Jump Street, Ant Man, In the Loop, Band of Robbers, and Action Point. Johnny is one of the most inventive comics out there. He’s always creating some new character or trying some far out experiment on stage. It’s always funny and he inspires me to take more chances with what I do. I highly recommend checking out his podcast ”Live To Tape”. It’s a great combination of interviews along with a healthy dose of eccentric audio. There’s nothing else like it! We talk music, motivation, social media rage, and how our childhood can affect most of our decisions as adults.

Tom Campbell is a physicist, lecturer, and author. His book, My Big T.O.E. (Theory of Everything) presents a model of reality that unifies general relativity (the BIG stuff), quantum mechanics (the tiny stuff), and metaphysics (the woo-woo stuff) along with the origins of consciousness (YOU). The punchline is: we live in a VIRTUAL REALITY. We’ve all heard it before: It’s the MATRIX, a SCHOOL, a GAME, but how do you arrive at that from a physics standpoint? What’s the POINT of all this? Where does CHOICE come into play? How come I can’t FLY? Tom talks about how reality works at the fundamental level and what it is we’re doing here as eternal individuated units of CONSCIOUSNESS.

He is the lead singer of the punk rock band Hypernova and is currently touring as a solo artist with his show ”Departure: The Story of My Life.” Raam talks about his experience with psychedelics and how they opened new doors of healing after his family was dealt a year of tragedy which continues to unfold.
