Welcome to the podcast Hacking the Afterlife. I tend to put information here that gives context to the podcast. In that vein, for those unfamiliar with what we're doing: At what point in time is it okay to ask recently deceased people questions on the flipside? When is too soon? When is it inappropriate? Some context: as a filmmaker, I've written and or directed 10 feature films, made a number of documentaries about the afterlife, and have spoken at UVA Medical school DOPS regarding how the footage shows consciousness is not confined to the brain. Jennifer Shaffer works with law enforcement agencies nationwide on missing person cases. I've interviewed some of those agents from the FBI, LAPD (NYPD) who work with her on a daily basis. A third of her practice is pro bono work with law enforcement. She also works with a number of people who knew Rob and Michelle, and the families of Kobe Bryant and Steve Jobs have allowed her to mention that she works with them. Ten years ago, I began working with Jennifer - we met for lunch and have been talking since then. The past five years on our podcast. Our moderator on the flipside is Luana Anders - who worked with Rob Reiner in the film THE LAST DETAIL. Luana died in my arms, and began visiting me not long after (back in 1996). It took me until 2004 to investigate how it was possible she could communicate with me - and upon meeting Jennifer I realized I could have conversations with her. And indeed - we've been doing that nonstop for over ten years. Luana was in many films - worked with Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson and others - and in my case, I worked with Ray Charles in the film LIMIT UP where he plays “God.” The point is that it's “six degrees of separation.” If Luana knows someone, or I worked with someone, it's easier for us to verify those details. I knew Penny Marshall, we did a gig together once, I appeared on Laverne and Shirley once (cutting room floor because Harry Dean Stanton's song went long.) So when this question is asked; “Are you going to be speaking to Rob and Michelle soon?” it comes from the couple of hundred interviews we have on the podcast HACKING THE AFTERLIFE on YouTube. In terms of our podcast, people tend to miss the notion that we aren't in charge of the guest list. Since Jennifer and I have begun to talk to the flipside, it's really up to Luana Anders to decide who is “ready to be interviewed.” In terms of how that works, sometimes I “hear” a voice from someone I knew or know - and when that happens, I'll say to myself “Well, if this person wants to show up for a conversation, they know where to find us.” And then - since Jennifer and I have been doing that for over the past ten years, frequently I'll show up for a meeting with her - and she'll say “so and so is here.” That has happened more often than I can recall. I can report that I heard Robert Kennedy's voice one day saying “I understand you're the person I need to speak with to get a message to my family.” I had the presence of mind to not judge that I heard his distinct voice - and said to him; “Actually I'm not the guy, you need to find Luana.” The next day I went to meet with Jennifer and she said before I could say anything; “Robert Kennedy is here.” The other day during the Frank Gehry interview, I heard his voice (or had the impression of hearing his voice) saying “Yes, I'll be on your podcast.” And not believing that it was actually him and not my imagination, I said to him “Well, we met through Sally Kellerman, so if you do want to speak to us, Sally should show up and I'll know it's you.” And during that podcast, at first Jennifer said “Luana says you have someone” and then said “Hot Lips is here.” (Sally Kellerman's role in the film MASH.) So I knew that Frank was available to converse. In this case, we have spoken to Rob Reiner's ex, Penny whom I was pals with. When she crossed over, we have a conversation with the one and only. We've also interview Garry Marshall, whom I knew when he was still on the planet - so it wasn't hard for us to connect with Penny. Generally - what we've learned recently is that Luana Anders is teaching a class in the flipside in how to communicate with us. The class - is large. We've spoken to quite a few people in the past ten years. So all that being said, I was wondering if we'd be speaking to Rob and his wife Michelle this week. A friend of mine who has done a guided meditation session with me said “I have the feeling you're going to be speaking to Rob Reiner this week.” I said “It may be too soon - but I have to be open to whomever does show up.” In other words - I know how tragic the event is, I know how raw his friends feel - and some of them I know well enough to say that I know they'd be upset to hear that we were inviting him to our podcast. This week - I'm about to post it - he does show up. I ask Luana “Who is here on your guest list” and Jennifer makes a face and says “Rob Reiner.” Then she said “He's just observing. He doesn't want to speak. But he's observing the class.” We've had that before - where people show up to just observe this give and take to see what it is. In the Frank Gehry podcast I asked him if he was ready to converse (He was friends with Luana and I told him at a party that I had scattered some of his old friend's ashes at the Guggenheim in Bilbao) - and we ask him about that on the podcast. The point is - without context it may seem exploitive to converse with someone who is recently passed. I know that some people are offended that we speak to anyone in this fashion - however, as I try to point out, as a filmmaker for the past 40 years, a music critic at Variety, and since Luana was in over 100 films and TV shows - between us we know many folks on the flipside, and she has many of them in her class on how to “communicate with the denser realm.” (Folks onstage). So Rob and Michelle may talk to us in the future. That's up to them. Again - it's not my opinion, theory or belief that people exist after leaving the stage - it's what the footage, data and research show. People can spend their lives believing that life ends, and be completely startled, shocked to realize life goes on. That our manner of passing isn't as relevant as our many of living - and how many people we've affected or cared about. Love is all there is. So it's a cogent question, and the answer is revealed in today's podcast: “Yes, he still exists and No, he's not ready to talk about it yet.” We'll see if he is at a future date. The point of the podcast (and the underlying point of the question) is that “everyone can communicate with people offstage” - our loved ones are not gone, they just aren't here. I'm sorry that bothers some people - but I wouldn't be accurate if I didn't report verbatim what the data, research or footage was showing. Hope this helps someone. For people who want to communicate directly with loved ones, I can recommend Jennifer's help - there's also her "Wine & Spirits" events in Manhattan beach. For those willing to do hypnotherapy, I recommend Scott at LightBetweenLives.com - a way to explore in detail. For those who are familiar with guided meditation, I can help them access their teachers and guides via RichardMartini.com Hope this helps.

Some years ago, when Jonathan Krane was producing my films and married to the Oscar nominated actress Sally Kellerman - who was Luana Anders closest pal on the planet - my wife and I had a Christmas dinner at Sally and Jonathan's home. Frank Gehry was there - by himself, so my wife and I, both children of architects sat down to have a lively conversation about everything under the sun. So the other day, after Frank passed, I had the "feeling" or awareness that he was willing to join our podcast - mainly because we've interviewed so many pals of his. Frank was in "group therapy" with Sydney Pollack, Sally, Jonathan, Luana - Blake Edwards, Dudley Moore and others... Milton Wexler was the renowned psychotherapist who ran the group, and remained a famous therapist until the end of his life. But because I knew Sally was in the group - I made that the "bell ringer" for myself - if I asked to speak to Frank and Sally showed up ("Hot Lips" in the original MASH) I knew it was him. And that's what happens in the podcast. Frank stops by to talk about his journey - and I was startled to see that his favorite building was the home of Norton Simon - which I didn't know he designed when I went to Sally and Jonathan's wedding at the palatial estate. But there you have it - I don't even know if Jennifer said "Venice" and I heard "Malibu" - I'll have to check the tape, but that's where my mind went. And yes, Jennifer Jones did offer to have our wedding at her home - but we didn't go that path. Funny to remember it now and in this fashion. It's another mind bending podcast and serves as a reminder; they aren't gone; they're just not here. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and for folks like Frank who are Jewish; Happy Hannukah!

As always, the podcast is around whatever topic that Luana Anders, our moderator on the Flipside wants to discuss. In this case, it was about how to modify stress, how to change the paradigm, and most importantly, to talk about Santa. I make a joke about how you never see Santa and Satan in the same room - both have the same letters, both wear red outfits, what's up with that? Jennifer avoids answering me and talks about how Luana is making a connection between Jesus and Santa. I offer an explanation and Jennifer "taps her nose" which is how Luana shows her that I'm on the right path. The idea that Santa represents a gift giver, someone who gives gifts without asking for anything in return - no loyalty, no fealty, no religions beliefs - just flat out, "here's the gift I'm giving you based on what you need." Jesus - in terms of the data, the research (see THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD AS TOLD BY JESUS AND THOSE WHO KNEW HIM for context) - he shows up in 15% of NDE's whether people believe in him or not, so it's not a religious point that is being made. It's a giving point. And when Jesus shows up, people talk about feeling "unconditional love" or "indescribable joy" or "non judgmental acceptance." All of which could be viewed as "Gifts" to give someone. Luana talks about how the world would shift in 24 hours if everyone on it could give unconditional love for that time frame - but suggests that just doing ten minutes of focused meditation a day - and giving yourself love while doing it, is a way to chip away at the problem. Again - Luana Anders is my pal who I was with for 20 years, who died in my arms in 1996. When I first started meeting up with Jennifer over 10 years ago, she talked about Luana being in the room - and eventually we realized that she brought us together. In this podcast, for the first time, I realize that Luana is "teaching a class on the flipside" (parts of which include this podcast) where she's showing people offstage how to communicate to a denser realm, using telepathy or by reaching out to someone like Jennifer whose filters are lowered or down. Jennifer talks about how her doctors have suggested that her being in the Delta state for a number of hours per day, has healed her brain from the traumatic injury she experienced after a car accident many years ago. Her doctors have suggested that its her work that has helped to heal her brain. However, that also means that her filters are less than others - and the density of our realm is what the class is about. It's another mind bending podcast, but the discussion is lighthearted. Eddie Hassell, the later actors makes an appearance at the beginning to explain how and why he "set off the fire alarm" in Jennifer's home (to reach out to his mother). Then I recount the battery on my car dying - and Luana said that was "done to prevent you from having a car accident that day." It sounds like wishful thinking, except I wasn't aware I'd left the flashers on the car on - didn't see them in the garage, didn't hear them as I normally would. All I can say is "Thank Lu, I appreciate it." She also said she was with me and my pals and family on Thanksgiving - which is a fun thing to consider. Again another mind bending podcast and it includes Santa!!!

December 5, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 59 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers as they prepare to play the Baltimore Ravens on the road on Sunday afternoon. We open this show by going over the latest regarding former Steelers CB Darius Slay, who was waived by the team this past week. We discuss him not reporting to the Buffalo Bills after they claimed him off waivers and whether he will now just go ahead and retire. We make sure to tackle a few things that Slay said about the Steelers and HC Mike Tomlin during his Thursday night podcast interview with Emmanuel Acho. Alex and I move forward in this show by looking at the Steelers' most recent transactions made and the team's Thursday injury report. We talk about the team likely not having backup T Calvin Anderson this week due to a knee injury and how it's looking like rookie CB Donte Kent won't make it back from the Reserve/Injured list this season. We also discuss the Steelers secondary seemingly being dinged up heading into Sunday's road game against the Ravens. The Ravens are dealing with several key injuries this week as well and so Alex and I recap what their Thursday report said and how there are really just three players to watch closely on Friday's report. We discuss Ravens QB Lamar Jackson likely playing through his ankle injury on Sunday. On Thursday, we once again heard from two of the Steelers' coordinators, Arthur Smith and Teryl Austin, so Alex and I recap the main talking points to come out of those media sessions. We discuss whether the team will finally start playing TE Pat Freiermuth more than TE Jonnu Smith based on what Smith had to say about the two players on Sunday. A few comments made by Austin concerning the team's defense get our attention in this show as well. Steelers S DeShon Elliott and OLB Alex Highsmith are both in the news this week for their off-the-field community activities, so we recap those items. New Steelers WR Adam Thielen talked to the media on Thursday, so we go over a few things that he had to say. We discuss the level of potential impact that Thielen might be able to make on Sunday against the Ravens and which wide receivers might lose some snaps should the newest Steeler indeed be active against the Ravens. We welcome Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Banner back to the show on Friday, and he helps us preview the Steelers-Ravens game. Shaffer has covered the Ravens for many seasons, and he certainly knows that team inside and out. We get his thoughts on several things related to the Sunday afternoon game in Baltimore and his recap of the Ravens' season to date in addition to his outlook for the team moving into Sunday. If not already doing so, make sure to follow Jonas on X/Twitter at @jonas_shaffer and make sure to read his work here: https://www.thebanner.com/author/jonas-shaffer/. After finishing with Shaffer, Alex and I provide our own preview of the Steelers-Ravens game. We break down what we are looking for out of each team on both sides of the football Sunday afternoon. Alex and I then give our picks against the spread for the remainder of the Week 14 NFL games provided by show sponsor MyBookie.ag. We also give our final score predictions for the Steelers-Ravens game.

Another mind bending podcast. #Prince #Hira #RobertTowne #RobinWilliams #FredRoos Jennifer begins the podcast talking about a kitty she's rescued and what she's going to name it. Robert Towne's dog Hira stopped by - often does when it comes to animals - and we asked him about how the cat found Jennifer. Then since Robert Towne was standing by, I asked him about our mutual friend Fred (Jennifer head his name "Fred Roos") and I asked him about a conversation I had this past weekend about the Heritage Auction that they're doing with his stuff - and asked about a mutual friend named Colleen. Those who know Colleen and know Fred will know their connection, but Jennifer does not. So I spoke to Colleen and she told me a friend of hers had passed, but nothing more about them. And so I asked Fred about that. Meaning I'm asking someone offstage about someone else offstage that I don't know - that Jennifer doesn't know - that only Colleen could know if this is accurate or not. Then Robin Williams and Prince stopped by - and at some point, because I know that people like to complain about "celebrities" on the podcast, I asked Prince how many of his other lifetimes he was aware of. It's not a question I've ever asked before on the air. But he said "1325" (I think). Meaning he's aware of over 1300 other lifetimes. And so when someone is accessing their previous lifetimes - as we all can - they can access the ones that had impact on the one they're living now. It's mind bending to consider, but it is consistent in the data, research and footage. Then Robin talked a little bit about how when someone wants to invite him over, just turn on one of his films. He's happy to watch his films with anyone who wants to see him. Another mind bending podcast. Thanks for tuning in!

We weren't able to do a podcast tonight, "unforeseen circumstances" (isn't that funny for a podcast where we talk to the afterlife?) - but am rerunning one of our most popular podcasts, with the additional opening and subtitles, so people can "sing along with us." Just kidding. Here's the original liner notes: This was from a year ago.... For those not familiar with this podcast; Jennifer Shaffer is an intuitive medium who works with law enforcement nationwide on missing person cases. She does pro bono work daily for them, and once a week we get together and see what we can learn from the flipside. We've been doing this weekly for 8 years, the last two on our podcast. I'm a filmmaker, have written and/or directed 8 theatrical feature films, a couple of documentaries. Some years ago, my best friend died in my arms and started coming to visit me. Instead of being freaked out by it (and her showing up to friends and family members) I started to dig into how that might be. That's resulted in 10 books (Flipside, etc) and four with Jennifer Shaffer. In this edition, a number of people show up that we've spoken with before. We interviewed Kobe just after his passing, it's the last chapter in the book "Backstage Pass to the Flipside 3" - where he talks about his journey, and I ask him questions in Italian. Eventually members of his family have met with Jennifer - so it's not unusual for us that he might stop by. The construct is this; my friend who passed away is on the flipside, and has organized a "group meeting" or a class as we call it, not to teach folks on the planet, but to teach people on the flipside how to communicate using frequency, images, visualizations on the flipside. Jennifer may get an image, let's say of a character from a TV show, and it may be their way of giving her a thought so that I could say, "Do you mean someone who shares the same name of that character in the TV show wants to speak to us?" That happens often. As noted, Jennifer is doing her best to translate what is coming to her. Like a translator at the UN, the people on the flipside are downloading a lot of information, and she does her best to catch the meaning, syntax and general idea of what someone wants to impart. A number of people stop by who've been interviewed before; Prince ("I was addicted to jumping off pianos, which caused me to use pain killers"), Robin Williams ("Love Love"). Marilyn stops by - refers to something I was writing at MartiniZone.com the other day - and when I asked if she wanted to talk about the manner of her passing, she said she wanted to talk about how she had two children waiting for her on the flipside. Both whom had not come to term. That concept has been repeated in the research - consistently. A number of people in our podcast have mentioned it, the idea of "those we don't have are waiting for us on the flipside." Harry Dean Stanton said the same thing - and I was able to verify it (but don't mention it in the podcast.) It's in "Backstage Pass to the Flipside." Harry came through after he passed and before his memorial. I asked him what he wanted me to impart to his friends (as noted.) He also said that when he passed, "He was in a room with five women" and when he got to the flipside, he was met by a "baby that he didn't have in life." In other words, a child was there to greet him with this profound unconditional love. At his memorial that I went to a week later, I asked someone who was with him at his deathbed to describe the scene. She said "There were five of us with him, all women." I asked if he had said anything unusual while she was in the room. She said "Yes, he asked me to hand him the baby. But there was no baby in the room." I had heard THE SAME THING from Harry on the Flipside via Jennifer a week earlier. At some point, the Alpha and Omega stops by - and mentions the one thing he wishes people would not do, that is "get freaked out by his name." (Jesus). I've had a number of interviews with him via various mediums, different hypnotherapy sessions, and multiple guided meditation sessions. As noted in the podcast, I've finished that book and am doing the audible as we speak. (SINCE THEN IT'S BEEN PUBLISHED, AS HAS THE LATEST BOOK "SHE WAS NEVER LOST" about Amelia Earhart) As to books by scientists about how consciousness isn't confined to the brain, I recommend Dr. Greyson's AFTER, Dr. Tucker's BEFORE, Dr. Kelly's CONSCIOUSNESS UNBOUND. In terms of the hypnotherapy research, I recommend the thousands of case studies from Dr. Helen Wambach (RELIVING PAST LIVES) Dr. Weiss (MANY LIVES, MANY MASTERS) Michael Newton (JOURNEY OF SOULS.) My latest book is DivineCouncils.com - where I invited 50 people, half whom had never heard of councils, who visited them, met their guides, teachers, etc. Enjoy!

It's the "Day of the Doorway" podcast. Jennifer begins by talking about some of the incredible things happening in her world, the Fox TV show they're making that Jessica Alba is producing, and the unusual events that have happened in the past around her "Day of the Dead." As we like to point out; "can't be dead if they can communicate or share new information." In this episode of our podcast, we talk to Luana Anders our moderator on the flipside about the process involved, and at some point my old boss, Luana's close pal Robert Towne stops by with his dog Hira. We ask a couple of questions to his Dog - the only dog nominated for an Oscar (Robert used his name for the film "Greystoke" and I heard not long ago, that he had sent Richard Prince (mentioned in the discussion of "Heaven Can Wait") Richard went to the Oscars with a speech Robert Towne had written in case his dog Hira won the oscar. True story. I had a dream last night where I was speaking to the daughter of my friend "Jeanne" - and I thought about the podcast and just said "Let's invite your mom to talk to us" - and that's the genesis of this conversation. I asked her about what it was like being on the flipside, I also asked her about mutual friends that are offstage, as well as some friends of hers that I know that are still onstage. In this case because I don't reveal her name - these are questions asked to a friend on the flipside who can answer them, in a demonstration of the kinds of questions anyone can ask loved ones who have crossed over. JenniferShaffer.com is where one can book a session with Jennifer, or attend the "Wine & Spirits" events in Manhattan Beach, and RichardMartini.com is where one can book a meditation with me, where I provide an audio MP3, transcript and a copy of any of my books. Happy DAY OF THE DOORWAY!! (which we speak about in the podcast - how the day of the dead, is really about realizing that it's just a doorway.) Enjoy.

Retired Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer returns to The P.A.S. Report to analyze how President Trump's foreign policy is reshaping global power dynamics, from enforcing the Gaza ceasefire and forcing Hamas's disarmament to confronting Russia and ending the Ukraine war. Shaffer explains why Trump's foreign policy doctrine of diplomacy backed by force is redefining America's role in the world. The discussion dives deep into the new threat from drug cartels, China's growing influence in Latin America, and how the next administration plans to restore order at home and abroad. Episode Highlights Middle East Reset: Trump's push for Arab-led governance in Gaza, the Abraham Accords, and sidelining Hamas. Ukraine Reality Check: Why Shaffer says the war is unwinnable, Putin needs an off-ramp, and Trump must play the "Russia card" to split Moscow from Beijing.

Remaking Bioethics Together

We are thrilled that this podcast is airing right after the 2025 American Society for Bioethics and Humanities meeting. It is based on a 2024 ASBH workshop “Remaking Bioethics Together.” Our guests are Stephen Molldrem, PhD, assistant professor and the research program director in Bioethics and Health Humanities at the University of Texas Medical Branch School of Public and Population Health, Krishna Chokshi, MD, associate professor of medicine in the division of hospital medicine at the Mount Sinai Hospital in NYC, Jonathan Shaffer, PhD, assistant professor in the department of sociology at the University of Vermont and Zackary Berger, MD, PhD, associate professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and in the division of general internal medicine at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Our guests discuss what led them to organize that workshop, beginning with an appreciation of how the principlist, individualist approach of bioethics falls short in addressing systemic challenges to equitable healthcare. Dr. Shaffer shared how his interest in remaking bioethics stems from observations of the focus on “fringe science” in ASBH meetings and the relative absence of more politically oriented moral theorizing. He discusses how sociological frames can help think about the production of shared norms and moral values. Drs. Berger and Chokshi discuss clinical systems ethics failures and what it would mean for Bioethics to think of Capitalism as an object of moral inquiry and to consider organizational ethics in relationships between Academic Medical Centers and communities. We discuss how the “imagined neutrality” of the field of Bioethics has evaporated in the recent overlapping crises of academic medicine. Dr. Molldrem discussed political organizing and the need to take power and its functioning seriously. At the 2025 ASBH meeting last week, this group took the next steps to begin organizing the field by recognizing threats and opportunities and considering resources at our disposal to effect change. Next steps include fostering scholarship around these ideas, considering methods of institutional change within bioethics institutions and collaborating within and across disciplines to foster change. Please reach out to us or our guests if you are inspired to join this crucial work.

Another mind bending session if only because of the scope of the conversations. We begin with our usual catching up - Jennifer is doing her "Wine and Spirits" events in Manhattan Beach, and I've been doing guided meditations with people (she's at JENNIFERSHAFFER.COM) and I'm at RICHARDMARTINI.COM We invite Luana Anders for a chat, and Luana brought up a guided meditation I did the other day as she wanted to discuss something that occurred. Jennifer doesn't know what it is - because I haven't told anyone. Nor do we speak prior to the session. But during a session, a woman was accessing her council when we spoke to one of her teachers, and I asked him if he was teaching a class. He said "Yes. "Flying." I asked if we could visit the classroom and speak to one of his students. We did that and Bill Paxton appeared as he was conversant about the idea of "flying at the speed of thought." As we discussed that other class members started showing up and Luana wanted to refer to that - saying that these sessions we're doing is helping people on the other side how to communicate with their loved ones on the planet. Then we spoke with Lisa Marie Presley - who wanted to talk in general about the topic of "leaving the stage early" - as her son Benjamin had done so. Jennifer and I aren't dispensing any kind of medical advice, and if one is feeling suicidal, please call #988 and seek professional help. But we had a general discussion about depression, about the research that shows meditation can "cure or alleviate symptoms of depression" - we talked about the number of people who have left the stage early (Anthony Bourdain, etc) who have come to our podcast to suggest that people take up meditation to help these issues. And I cited the work by Richard Davidson at the University of Wisconsin ("Healthy Minds") that showed how meditation can "cure or alleviate symptoms of depression." Lisa Marie's son came forward and talked about what it was like for him to return home - saying that while he was met by "overwhelming unconditional love" he felt he also carried the trauma and sadness he'd caused others by his leaving early. I asked his grandfather if he wanted to weigh in and deferred to his daughter. However Prince came forward to talk about how "jumping off pianos" led to his pain killer addiction - but he doesn't regret "jumping off pianos" because it's a metaphor for living a life fully. And then Bill Paxton weighed in from his perspective, and I asked him about his pal Rob Lowe (who has spoken to Bill on a podcast where he showed him "how to fly" on the flipside.) Another mind bending adventure. Thanks for tuning in.

I happen to catch the "I like me" documentary about #JohnCandy on Netflix, directed by Colin Hanks. It's a wonderful trip down memory lane. In my case, I studied at Second City in Chicago (took classes for a semester) before I moved to LA. I joined a group of improv actors in the Harvey Lembeck workshop, but was an avid fan of SCTV during my years at Boston University and beyond. Charles Grodin and I had that in common - he loved Johnny LaRue (John Candy) and all the other characters, and late in life, Chuck would make DVD copies of his favorite bits and send them to his pals. I have a dozen or so. As a film director I got to meet a bunch of people... and in this interview with John - you'll hear that I don't say the last name of the actors that I'm referring to, because it's more fun if Jennifer gets them accurately. And she does (once I let her know who we're talking to.) I had just watched the documentary, so the people in it are #SteveMartin (who needs to lighten up on the sobriety), #MartyShort (get your heart checked), Dave Thomas, Andrea Martin (who never changes), Joe Flaherty, #EugeneLevy (the skeptical one) #CatherineOHara (the dreamer he's visited) Harold Ramis... #BillMurray, #DanAykroyd, #JohnBelushi, #TomHanks... I remembered to mention his lovely wife Rosemary and his two children, both whom are very touching in the doc. (Sorry I didn't mention his brother in case he views this.) I asked these questions without Jennifer knowing who I was talking about (except she saw Tom Hanks and saw Bill Murray when I said their first names. That happens. So this is an extreme yet excellent example of what we've been doing for every week for over ten years. See the film HACKING THE AFTERLIFE on Gaia or Amazon prime for examples. Jennifer doesn't know anything about the doc about John's life, doesn't know anything about John Candy's life - and I made some errors, like giving Harold Ramis credit for directing Stripes which he cowrote (Ivan Reitman directed it) Harold directed him in Caddyshack, National Lampoon's Vacation. (A movie that John Hughes told me in person he hated the film but clearly he like John in the film). As noted, I went to high school with John Hughes, and he was pals with my brother, and super close friends with his wife - who was close to both John and Nancy. My brother was also pals with Bill Murray in high school, and although I didn't say it in the podcast, I'll say it here - Bill Murray gave me - a brother of his high school pal - free tickets to the dress rehearsal at SNL for years. I mean - for years -I took friends, including Luana Anders to the show. And once, had the chutzpa to wait to see him after the show, give him a bottle of wine, and introduce him to Luana... It was funny because he really didn't know me - I was just there to thank him for leaving tickets for "Elvis Martini" for all those years, and I think he was miffed I'd stuck around to thank him. Little did he know that the Luana he met - the very same Luana - is the moderator of our podcast from the flipside. If I was going to point to one show that demonstrates the ability of Jennifer talking to people offstage - it's this one. She works with members of the FBI, NYPD, LAPD on missing person cases, works pro bono a third of her practice, has been doing this for a long time, and indeed, they're making a show about her on Fox as we speak. I've written 13 books about the flipside, I do offer guided meditations, and Jennifer does these "wine and spirits" evenings in Manhattan beach that anyone can attend and isn't expensive, or they can book her directly. She works with members of Steve Jobs and Kobe Bryant's families - and they've given her permission to say so. So sit back, watch her talk to John Candy about all his pals onstage and off, mock Tom Hanks, tease Steve Martin, make fun of Bill Murray's golf game - all of it is not coming from me or Jennifer. I don't know how else to say it - have been filming people talking to their loved ones for over 15 years via hypnotherapy, guided meditation or mediums like Jennifer. The story never changes. They aren't gone; they just aren't here. Enjoy.

Another mindbending podcast. Jennifer was up in Berkeley last weekend, ran into a concert pianist prodigy (Evan Le) and filmed a little of him playing the piano (which we included in the podcast with his mother's permission.) While Jennifer was visiting this building, she became aware of the architect of the building, and asked questions about her. Julia Morgan was the first woman architect to graduate from Berkeley and the room Jennifer was in was designed by her. She's famous for designing many buildings - including the Hearst Castle and Marion Davies' home in Santa Monica - and 700 buildings in California. I knew the building because I had been in it - but didn't know who designed it. So we invited the architect to come and chat with us. And she talked about her path and journey - and what it was like for her on the flipside. My father was an architect, and in our conversations with him, he's told us that he hangs out with famous architects from over the years, or is learning from them - and when asked if that was her experience she said "No, I'm hanging out with musicians." When asked to specify she named Jimi Hendrix - who often shows up in our podcasts. He talked about the "frequency of a building" - which is like math or music - the same thing that he delved in, and she said "his role as a musician was to shift consciousness." Since it was John Lennon's birthday yesterday, and since our first conversation with John included a memory of his playing with Jimi in the afterlife - we invited him to come and make some observations. Indeed, I did stay at Julian's place in Eze, and was awoken by the sound of John saying "Who the f*ck are you?" The sound of a voice startled me - I'd only been sleeping a couple of hours after jamming with Julian in Monte Carlo - and it took me a few seconds to recognize the voice. I didn't mention it to Julian at the time - because it was too weird, and I had zero context for it. But I do have context for it now. So Happy Birthday John, and thanks for the lovely thoughts about Paul (and Ringo) who have carried on the Beatles tradition, and how everyone on the flipside gets to participate in those concerts. It's mind bending to consider - oh and one other thing, when asked "how long does it feel like for you to be on the flipside?" and he replied "two minutes." We once asked Prince a similar question, and his reply was "a comma" - meaning that previous event to the one I was referencing felt like a comma in a sentence to him. So consider that for a moment when thinking about one's loved ones offstage. They don't have the same connection we do to time... but they can converse with us all the same. Enjoy.
