In today's episode, Joe confesses his long-standing dislike for Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, despite repeated attempts to enjoy them. The hosts then take a serious turn to address Contemporary Christian Music's (CCM) “worst-kept secret” regarding Michael Tait, including his admission of drug and alcohol struggles, homosexuality, and claims of unwanted touching. It's a candid discussion on the allegations against Michael Tait and the dark side of CCM.If you or someone you know has experienced sexual assault or misconduct, help is available.

Mazel morons! Today we're joined by The Office legend, actor, author, and spiritual explorer Rainn Wilson—and yes, it gets weird in the best way. We talk residual injustice (hi, Drake & Josh), redefining masculinity, 12-step spirituality, and the emotional damage caused by banana bread. Rainn opens up about the spiritual power of theater, the loneliness epidemic, and how Dwight Schrute almost didn't exist. Plus, we unpack the narcissism of both self-hate and overconfidence, why organized religion isn't all bad, and why sound baths slap.

 We're dropping in a bonus episode today -  Kelly had the best time talking to a friend you might know, he is Dwight Schrute from The Office among many, many other things.  His real name is Rainn Wilson and his real interest is in spirituality and matters of the soul. That's why he started a podcast called Soul Boom . We loved this episode of Soul Boom where Rainn interviews Kelly and thought we would share it. So, here is a conversation between two friends, Rainn and Kelly, about curiosity versus fear and judgment  and also about the ways that each of us is creative.

He opens up about his struggles with imposter syndrome, the weight of generational trauma, and how the pandemic forced him to rebuild his internal life through breathwork, affirmations, and metaphysical practice.

Newt talks with Senator Ted Cruz, co-sponsor of the bill and Scott Berkowitz, Founder and President RAINN about the Take It Down Act, signed into law by President Donald Trump this week. The Take It Down Act is a bipartisan effort aimed at combating the distribution of non-consensual intimate imagery, including AI-generated deep fakes. Introduced by Senators Ted Cruz and Amy Klobuchar, the legislation imposes stricter penalties for such actions and mandates that websites and social media platforms remove offending content within 48 hours of notification by victims. The Act was inspired by cases like that of Elliston Berry, a teenager whose AI-generated deep fake image was circulated without her consent, highlighting the urgent need for legal protection against such abuses. The law passed with overwhelming support in Congress, reflecting a rare moment of bipartisan agreement. The involvement of First Lady Melania Trump, who has advocated for online safety, was instrumental in elevating the issue and expediting the legislative process. The Act is seen as a significant step in addressing the growing problem of tech-enabled sexual abuse, with further legislation anticipated to protect children online. The initiative also underscores the role of organizations like RAINN in supporting victims and advocating for policy changes to combat sexual violence.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Part 2: Last week, all signs pointed to Rhonda dying on that picnic table in a secluded Utah canyon. After his brutal attack, Ted Bundy was certain she was either dead or too weak to run. But he was about to learn the hard way—he should never have looked away. This week on Murder and Mystery: Analysis by Dr. Phil, Rhonda Stapley reveals the moment she knew she had to run—and how she survived one of history's most notorious serial killers. Why did she bury this terrifying secret for decades? And what finally made her change her mind?

What if you're not meant to find yourself, but to create yourself? In this Soul Boom episode, existential psychotherapist and bestselling author Sara Kuburic (It's On Me) joins Rainn Wilson for a deep conversation about identity, self-loss, and the illusion of authenticity in the digital age. After diagnosing what makes The Office's Dwight Schrute so...unique, "The Millennial Therapist" (as she's known online) joins Rainn to explore how modern life disconnects us from our inner truth and how existentialism offers a path back to meaning through responsibility, embodiment, and deliberate choice. This is a soul-searching, perspective-shifting dialogue for anyone who feels overwhelmed, unseen, or stuck in someone else's version of success. THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Sex Care Is Self-Care, host Patty Brisben sits down with two remarkable women: marriage and family therapist Lauren Brisben Hueber (MS, MFT) and attorney and survivor-advocate Sarah Klein (JD). Together, they explore the complex realities of sexual trauma, the lasting effects it can have on physical and emotional health, and the path toward healing and justice. Lauren shares clinical insights from her work as a licensed marriage and family therapist, including how trauma rewires the brain, why survivors often freeze, and how symptoms like hypersexuality, pain, or emotional disconnection are often misunderstood. Sarah opens up about her own experience as one of Larry Nassar's earliest known survivors and how it shaped her work representing others who have endured sexual abuse.  With honesty, vulnerability, and strength, the conversation covers: What trauma really is — and how it lives in the body. This is more than a podcast episode.

After a sexual assault, you often spiral into a hole you feel you'll never come out of. In this episode, Rima writes in to ask for help with the feeling that she will be never the person she was before she was assaulted. For clarity's sake, the phrase "sexual assault" is an umbrella term that applies to many experiences, including but not limited to rape. If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, you can reach out to RAINN at 800.656.HOPE (4673).The contents of this podcast are provided for informational purposes only.

Comedian Ari Shaffir (America's Sweetheart, JEW) joins Rainn Wilson for an unfiltered conversation about faith, comedy, and mental health. Known for his no-holds-barred stand-up, Ari shares his journey from being an Orthodox Jewish yeshiva student to an outspoken atheist. They dive into his personal battle with depression, how psychedelics shifted his perspective on existence, and why he believes the concept of a soul is a mystery. Plus, Rainn and Ari debate whether religion is a force for good—or just another human-made construct. Ari hosts The Skeptic Tank podcast and his latest Netflix special America's Sweetheart tackles taboo topics with his signature irreverence, following up his previous special YouTube special 'JEW,' which explored his Orthodox upbringing and departure from faith.

Amanda spends two years of her impressionable adolescence under the care of Larry Nassar, former family medicine physician and team doctor of the US women's national gymnastics team. Having not fully understood that what she experienced was abuse, it's only later—when Amanda and her husband struggle to conceive—that the details of her painful story come to light. Then, just as the case against Larry begins to hit the media, Amanda becomes pregnant. She steps forward, along with 155 other women, to testify against Nassar in court. Amanda uses her voice for the daughter she's carrying, and in the process re-discovers her own.

Alex O'Connor ( @CosmicSkeptic ), known for his nuanced critiques of religion and discussions on morality, reflects on why the Bible captivates him as an atheist, the historical resonance of Jesus, and the philosophical limits of materialism. Alex recently participated in a Jubilee debate that went viral, where his fascination with Christianity was put to the test (Jubilee's 1 Atheist vs. 25 Christians). Together he and Rainn explore the mysteries of consciousness, the science behind near-death experiences, and whether love is just neurons firing or something more profound. Alex O'Connor is a prominent atheist thinker, YouTuber, and philosopher known for his channel Cosmic Skeptic, where he explores questions of morality, religion, and consciousness. A graduate of theology and philosophy at Oxford, Alex has engaged millions in thoughtful debates on belief and the human experience. Thank you to our sponsors!

At the time, Courtney received endless online hate and negative media coverage. Courtney, a child, received death threats, was stalked by the paparazzi, sexualized, and labeled a whore. Courtney is now 27 years old, has gotten into therapy, and started their recovery journey. This is a story of child abuse that began 10 years ago and after finalizing their divorce in 2020, Courtney is now beginning to process what it means to be a survivor. This episode discusses adult subject matter, including descriptions of sexual abuse of a child, and is intended for adult consumption only. Listener discretion is advised.
