The RAD Prodcast

Brando sits down with Crystal Clune from Helping Hands to learn about Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT.  

EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique. It is a form of energy work very similar to acupressure. It uses certain meridians throughout the body to release energy so that you can have a healthy flow of energy throughout the body. When energy gets blocked up, psychosomatic symptoms occur such as, headaches, stomach aches, back pains etc. By tapping we are releasing the energy that is blocked in those points and restoring balance to the person’s energy flow.

With trauma and other bothersome memories, tapping helps rewire the brain and help you have the memories without any emotional response or connection.

Brando has an EFT session to focus on releasing the negativity surrounding his recent divorce, and the results are surprising!

This week, Dawn joins Brando to have a heart to heart about the struggles with growth, self awareness, seeking contentment, healing & forgiveness of the past.  

Brando sits down to have a conversation with his friend Juliette after she is recovering from 3 consecutive back surgeries over the course of three weeks, one of which resulted in a near death experience. Juliette has also played an integral role in Brandon's life while he transitioned from a previous long term relationship to the new healing path he is on today. Friends helping friends to become better friends!

Brando sits down with Kyle and explores the world of songs/themes/jingles that are the ultimate ear worms. Brando & Kyle also discuss childhood memories, mix tapes, recording music from the radio on cassette, and Brando jumps into the main studio and plays the "greatest hits" of RAD jingles, theme songs and imaging. Hang out with some friends, discuss the awesome and the awful of the music of our generations.

Stay tuned at the end of the episode for a dose of soul "food"

We discuss http://rad.drinkwith.us/ and go in depth on both of the companion shots, the technology behind the terpenes, some mumbo jumbo/woo-woo feel-good spiritual stuff (since this product focuses on the implementation of natural remedies/essential oils), and stressing the importance of having something for us to aid in being happier during these darker times. Hence, The Happiest Hour.

After Brandon's recent episode that resulted in a seizure due to stress, anxiety and lack of self care, he recaps with reaction from listeners who relate. There is no shame in this, and mental health is really something we should be thinking about every day, and I know this is something I'm personally trying to transition from being a "background thought" to really being at the forefront of my daily routine, and we'll see and talk more about that in the coming weeks.

"Long you'll live and high you'll fly, and smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry, and all you touch and all you see, is all your life will ever be." -- Pink Floyd

Who would you say is your hero? This week, Producer Brandon reflects on how heroic music can be during times when our reality is harsh and difficult to handle at times. Hardships are not far from our doorsteps, if they're not already at home. During these times it can help to remember those who have inspired us to keep driving to get the most out of life, or even remember those who have literally saved our lives or a life of a loved one. Heroism comes in many forms. This episode concludes with a cover of "My Hero" by the Foo Fighters to acknowledge those heroes all around us, whoever they may be.

In my opinion, Bill Withers’ song “Lean On Me” means that it is okay to be weak while leaning to others in times of need. it is okay to trust others with your sorrow. It is okay to let your guard down and let your friends catch you. This song means that sometimes we cannot endure it alone and it is okay to lean on other people.

A huge thank you to all of the “Prodheads” and supporters that made this collaboration possible. It was humbling to get such a great response and your talents are a true inspiration. In these difficult times, one thing is for sure, music can heal, bring us together and help us find our way back to ourselves.

Brandon interviews long-time listeners of the RAD Radio show, and personal friends, Chad and Carissa, who are about to break ground in starting their own medical and recreational marijuana operation. We discuss why Chad and Carissa got into this business, what their experience has been like in getting their business started, navigating the legal process, security, and the incredible health benefits that is one of the leading reasons why they want to bring their product available to as many people in the community as possible. This week, it's the Potcast!

The 100th Episode of the RAD Prodcast features guests Melissa & Brent from S.P.I.R.I.T. and they reflect on the last year or Prodcasts including all of the paranormal investigations and more of a Q&A with leftover questions from the Halloween show. Also, the announcement of Prod Wear available now in the Maggot Mall at maggotmall.com - powered by Black Dog Graphix. Enjoy this extended episode, even if you're not into all of the mambo and the jumbo. 

Debunking a viral gender reveal video. A woman was filmed farting out blue powder in a fake gender reveal party with the intention to make their video go viral. While they faked the gender reveal for the pursuit to make their video go viral, rendering it an illegitimate viral video (in our opinion), it promotes a healthy conversation on farts and why they make us laugh.  

The 100th episode brings with it new Prodwear in the Maggot Mall, powered by Black Dog Graphix.  Brandon teases the new products including graphics, slogans, styles and stickers!

Finally, Brandon reads an email from a listener who is a follower of Christ, leans more towards skepticism in the "mumbo and jumbo" but reacted empathically to one of the previous episodes of the Prodcast, he had to share his experience. This listener taps into the negativity Brandon has been dealing with and promotes forgiveness. Forgiving others and forgiving ourselves.  

We are getting close to the 100th episode of the Prodcast! Can you say, "Prodcast apparel"? Details coming soon!

Prodheads experience the Tibetan Singing Bowls experience by Terri at Loomis Healting Arts & Wellness Center. A grieving father of a son who was murdered seeks answers from Sac SPIRIT and wants to know if his son is okay on the other side.

Have you ever had a near death experience? Are they all "bright light in a tunnel" scenarios? There are various types of near death experiences and Brandon chose a few excerpts from the book Beyond The Light by Gina Prince-Bythewood to shed some light and also discover some bizarre types of near death experiences. From reuniting with loved ones, past pets and even God like entities.

This week, the Brandons discuss giggle tracks and blooper reels. Getting into giggle fits from watching or hearing people with infectious laughs. New show discovery, Letterkenny on Hulu. A Canadian comedy show based on a YouTube series of the same name. Avoid Castle Rock on Hulu at all costs. Disney+ is here and they are sanitizing classics like Star Wars A New Hope and The Simpsons is getting a bad look. Reactions to our first time attending a Dia De Los Muertos party and what dishes we contributed inspired by past loved ones. What's happening for the holidays and gearing up for the upcoming 100th episode of the RAD Prodcast.

Brandon has a Q&A session with Melissa and Brent from Sacramento Paranormal Intuitive Research Investigation Team (S.P.I.R.I.T.) after the huge response they received from their featured spot on the Halloween show on the Rob, Anybody & Dawn Show. Emails flooded in, and they are addressed in this week's episode.  With questions regarding pets and the afterlife, how does religion play a part in the paranormal investigations, precognition, astral projection, deja vu, possessions, curses and capturing ghosts on camera. A lot is covered and there are still plenty of emails to get through, stay tuned for another Q&A session in the near future.  

You can connect with S.P.I.R.I.T. at https://sacspirit.com/, on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/Sacspirit, and Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/sacspirit/

The RAD Prodcast crew teams up with Melissa, Brent & Wendy from S.P.I.R.I.T. for a paranormal investigation of the Union Hotel in Old Sacramento. This location is rich in history surrounding the development of Sacramento and this hotel has been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times since the 1800s. While this building is considered "Lady Luck" there is a lot of residual darkness surrounding the traumatic experiences that occurred in and around this historic hotel.  

A special thanks goes to Casey from Preservation Ghost Hunts for helping us gain access to this historically significant building. Another special thanks goes to Akash, the owner of this crown jewel of Sacramento who is restoring this wonderful space and infusing it with a fresh new energy and love. This location will be enjoyable for many in the years to come. 

Sound Bath Meditation With Terri Roberts at Loomis Healing Arts. Terri is "focused on the Tibetan/Crystal bowl sound/vibration modality of healing." She is a Certified Tibetan Bowl practitioner, a Certified Reiki practitioner, Reconnective Energy and Eden Energy practitioner. She is am also a Certified Aromatherapist. 

In Terri's words, "All of these modalities work within the human energy system to move chi blockages, and get human energy flowing in and around the body to help and enable the body to heal and fight dis-ease."

"This healing modality has been a part of Tibetan culture for hundreds of years. In spite of tons of documentation of the benefits, their use in the United States in the treatment of cancer, PTSD along with the use of Reiki and other forms of energy work is not well known and therefore not readily available. The old saying "you don't know what you don't know" is very applicable here."

Prior to the Sound Bath, we speak briefly with Terri to get to know her and she prepares us for the meditation process. Sit back, relax, and find a quiet space after the :30 minute mark and enjoy the Sound Bath meditation. This is an experience that is better felt in person, everyone experiences something a little different out of one of these sessions.

Overcoming Obstacles, Mercury Retrograde, Aftershock, Nerd Rap With MC Chris

Interview with Brent from S.P.I.R.I.T. (sacspirit.com) - Brandon and Brent discuss how Brent got into the paranormal including stories from Brent's childhood home in Wyoming being haunted to meeting Melissa and experiencing her gift as an intuitive empath that ultimately inspired them to start S.P.I.R.I.T. together. Brent has a rich background in journalism and writing, which led to Brent writing a novel called "Radio Road Overnight" - a fictional road map of the UFO mythos in America. Which leads to a very deep conversation about life on other planets, extra-terrestrials and government conspiracies. Take a trip down the rabbit hole in this week's episode.

Along with the change of seasons, come new Fall shows to watch. Brandon & Mrs Brandon talk about an excellent new show on Amazon Prime Video called "Undone" about life after death and a unique animation style that allows the show to explore multiple dimensions and time travel. Binge watching Breaking Bad in preparation for the Breaking Bad movie "El Camino". Highlights of other shows including "Enchantment" on Netflix and "Forever" on Amazon Prime.

The featured story in this week's episode highlights the story about a mother who claims the 9-year-old daughter she adopted from the Ukraine is actually a 22 year old female with dwarfism. This adopted daughter also threatened the life of her adopted parents.

Checking in with my personal trainer Titus Pitre after working with him for two months straight. We discuss motivational strategy and personal goals, the importance of nutrition, over-eating vs under-eating, addiction to exorcise, and more. You can work with Titus and follow him on Instagram at instagram.com/titus_fitness!

Take a trip down memory lane in the most random episode of the Prodcast yet. What starts out with a discussion and lesson on venomous snakes, turns into a conversation about Magic the card game, POGs, Dial-up internet, Napster, our favorite web sites we visited in the early days of the internet, a review of IT Chapter 2 (WITH SPOILERS), and other entertainment reviews of shows like Carnival Row, Disenchantment and Big Mouth Season 3. Get ready for some 90s nostalgia!

As many of you know, Brandon is a huge TOOL fan! The Alex Grey autographed deluxe edition of the new album, Fear Inoculum, arrived just in time for this episode and Brandon un-boxes it for the first time on the prodcast. It's more interesting than you think, with an immersive package, it's like a kid on Christmas morning. The excitement is growing for the IT Chapter 2 private screening on Thursday night, which leads to a discussion about hot redheads in Hollywood, and imagining what celebrities are really like in bed. Can you tell just how good or bad a celebrity is at sex just by looking at them? A prodhead wants to know how to start a podcast, and his subject is on going to public places as a parent vs. a non-parent and being judged for not having kids at certain places. This listener will learn it is not as easy as it sounds to start up a podcast. Finally, the Brandons help a listener who wants to open up their relationship to a 3rd person for a threesome.

It's time to Camp with The Brandons again, along with long time friend of the show and up-and-coming comedian Mike Shinn! While Mike has been a friend for years, he hasn't always made it known that he wanted to be a comedian. Mike is also an Army veteran and shares some stories and insight into his service, but also describes what life events helped hurl him into the comedy world. After the interview with Mike, the games begin. We play a game of "Freedom Of Speech" which is a version of Taboo where the aim is to get your teammates to guess the word on the card before the timer runs out. However, you cannot say the word that is on the card.

This week, I sit down with my personal trainer, Titus Pitre from Destiny Fitness, to introduce to you some insight into general health and fitness with his positive perspective and the 20+ years of experience Titus brings to the table. Over the last few months, it was easy for me to start eating unhealthy out of convenience and my desire to take care of myself was lacking. Right when I was feeling at my lowest, Titus reached out to me and things have turned around since. Titus has a lot of experience from training police officers and military recruits for all branches to training regional radio celebrities like me who just want to feel better. It's all about loving life and keeping the body and mind healthy enough to enjoy all that life has to offer. Titus has been a great inspiration to me, and I wanted to share his story with you all.
