I'm Bryan Russ & I'm a comedian, author, voice artist, radio personality, chef, humanist, activist, animal lover, fitness runner, & strong realized empath with over 15 years of experience as an energetic empath. Bryar Patch Media is the brand for the podcast, books, comedy albums, videos, and anything & everything I'm working on!

Who we are:

Energetic empaths, paranormal enthusiasts, researchers, & investigators, mental health & quality of life advocates, freethinkers & freedom fighters who look at the totality of our culture & times to identify any & all regressive/oppressive systems & attitudes in our world. To bring about better clarity, mental, emotional, & spiritual health, advocacy & hope for people & the so they feel more empowered, balanced, happy & free. We're also a resource for empaths & highly sensitive people, & paranormal believers who take on the subject with a balanced, skeptical but open-minded approach! As empaths we have a clairvoyant wisdom to the subject matter.

What it's all about:

This is a podcast about the paranormal, cryptids, and all unexplained phenomena, as well as a resource for empaths to uncover & better understand the phenomenon in a down to earth & accessible way. We talk about robust mental health for regular people & empaths alike & we take on systems & attitudes that oppress & exploit people.

What we care about:

We strive to build a community (Empath Tribe) for regular people, empaths, those struggling with mental health imperfections, & people having a hard time finding opportunities, meaning, & balance in this world. We strive for best practices & sustainable outcomes in our culture. We talk about real life stuff in a straightforward & honest way & try to keep the show both impactful, thoughtful, fun & playful as well.

Our background:

Bryan Russell is the main host of the show, with a background in the military, as an EMT, phlebotomist, massage therapist, energy healer, chef, radio technician & radio personality. My biggest love is being a chef, having worked from Cook to Head Chef & everything in between! When I was in school I came to the realization I had the ability to sense vibes, energies, intentions, & emotions that aren't always my own. I can pick up on residual energies & spirits, often with the ability to sense the past & different types of people & emotions that once inhabited an area, or an actual spirit haunting a location. I'm a full-time comedian, podcaster, researcher, voice artist, author, & lover of the funner, more cheerful, & compassionate side of life.

Rebecca Russell is my wife, best friend, & co-host of the show. Also an empath, she & I have come to learn much about the the spirit realm & the unexplained. In real life we're just down to earth people with a relaxed & fun sensibility. Sometimes we're fun-loving & humorous, sometimes we're deep & very real. Rebecca was a medical assistant for over 18 years in a major pediatric office & now works as a customer service supervisor for a major grocery store. We're all about trying to make the world feel more comfortable, fair, less punitive, more classy, fun-loving, & have more positive energy, fairness, dignity, & good cheer.

Empaths vs Dark Empaths, Our Final Thoughts, See You Soon on YouTube at Chef Bry Comedy!

Empaths vs Dark Empaths, Our Final Thoughts, See You Soon on YouTube at Chef Bry Comedy!

On this lighthearted final episode of Surviving Empathy Podcast, Rebecca and I first explore the difference between dark empaths and empaths, and all the ins and outs of that. Then, we'll get into the heart of what this show was always really all about, what we're trying to accomplish, and who we've been trying to help and why. We'll talk about what we learned about podcasting as a medium, and what we learned about the modern world today as empaths and older wiser people. We'll talk about our advice and takeaways on how to find and keep good mental health, robust living, and a happiness and joy in your life that endures for downhome people just like us. Just average every day regular people who aren't rich and who depend on a good economy and the word to function in order to make it. Finally, in my final spiel at the end, I will talk about what we want for YOU, what we hope for and expect for ourselves and the Chef Bry Comedy Brand, and what we truly want for our audience and the world! At the end of the day, this was a 2 year-long adventure, an experiment whereby energy is intention. We trusted in and relied on good vibes, goodness and kindness, and thoughtfulness and earnestness, but with a keen sense of humor to take us to so many good places. But it hasn't all been paved with gold! It's been a lot of good, a little bit bad, and some wholly unexpected kind people to support us and become our true real-life friends! Much of it exposed the dirty seedy underbelly of the world and people, and the real business of becoming a content creator, and we want to share our experience and advice with you! Thank you all so very much for your friendship, encouragement, and support over the years. It's been quite an experience to say the very least! But at the end of the day this isn't goodbye, so much as, we will see you later on the YouTube space! We might be done podcasting for now, but we've just begun when it comes to creating thoughtful, educational, and genuine, positive but real content. As always, we will continue to advocate for good regular down-to-earth folks, for good mental health outcomes and better living for all those regular people struggling out there, those empaths and sensitives, those misfits and introverts in these oftentimes unusual times plagued with hate and divisiveness, pitfalls, road blocks, and dead ends. But just as we like to say, where there's a will there's a way! With the right mindset, the right strategy, and the right approach and internal consistency, we can all get there and find the life we all so richly want, need, and deserve! A huge thanks to all of our friends, family, and supporters, we couldn't have believed in ourself and done it without you! Soon we'll be on YouTube, so instead of saying goodbye, let me just say thanks and we'll see you soon!With love and gratitude,Bry and RebeccaYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@ChefBryComedyChef Bry Comedy - YouTubeBuy us a cup of coffee!https://cash.app/$ChefBryComedyPay $ChefBryComedy on Cash Apphttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/chefbrycomedyPayPal.Mehttps://account.venmo.com/chefbrycomedyVenmo | Chef Bry ComedyPodcast & music streaming sites, website, social media.https://linktr.ee/chefbrycomedyChef Bry Comedy | Twitter, Instagram, Facebook | Linktree Hosted on Acast.

Alien Fever! UFO Whistleblower, Aliens in the Headlines, Beyond Skinwalker Ranch, Portals & the Paranormal

Alien Fever! UFO Whistleblower, Aliens in the Headlines, Beyond Skinwalker Ranch, Portals & the Paranormal

On this fun and mind-bending episode, we go down the rabbit hole and consider the existence of possible extra-terrestrials and UFOs, portals, and other possible paranormal phenomenon. There's a new rise in attention and popularity of this once fringe subject that is now gaining a lot of mainstream credibility and attention, causing somewhat of a paradigm shift in our cultural thinking about the subject, and an uproar of attention in our culture today. We want to try to understand what all this could mean for our culture and society today. New whistleblowers coming out, new government task forces being created, new advocacy and reporting agencies for pilots and witnesses over the ever-increasing sightings of possible exotic crafts, and dare I say, the possible existence of aliens and the possible human/alien encounters and relations! There seems to be a real newfound surge in mainstream interest in UAP/UFO phenomenon and possible exotic foreign craft and creature sightings! So, we want to get to the heart of the matter, to try to understand what all the implications could mean, as we consider the possibility of what's really going on here?! The implications for our planet, of our culture and society, of our economy and culture, and the scientific and spiritual ramifications as well! At the end of the day, it's a good time to be a believer, and we want to get down to the absolute truth! It's a phenomenon that used to be panned as fringe nonsense and sci-fi fantasy, but there's a lot of very credible evidence and witnesses on this phenomenon now from very credible sources that gives this phenomenon newfound traction and credibility that's fascinating at best, and terrifying at worst! Let's go down the rabbit hole together, and learn all that can be derived from this alien fever going on in the media today!We'll be on YouTube once this podcast season is finished! Radio podcasters going video! Please do subscibe, it costs you absolutely nothing but helps us so very much!

Feeling Over it, when a Bad Attitude Takes Over, Life Paralysis & Impatience, Giving in to Our Inner Quitter

Feeling Over it, when a Bad Attitude Takes Over, Life Paralysis & Impatience, Giving in to Our Inner Quitter

On this episode Rebecca and I ask the question, where do we go when we've hit a dead end, when we've hit the end of our rope, when we just can't take it anymore, waiting for life to change, get better, and we grow inpatient for the world to get right, and for our ship to come in?! How might we reset and find the patience, wisdom, and a lifeline to not only endure, but continue pushing towards our goals and toward success and validation when the world just doesn't seem functional, sane, or fair?! At the end of the day, the world is getting dysfunctional, strange, abnormal, and just plain hard! So how might we find the gas to keep going when we're tired of setbacks, delays, and shitty people and attitudes clouding our vision and getting in the way of our goals and dreams?! How might we traverse this dystopic and mean-spirited society with our own sense of goodness and kindness?Please give us a cup of coffee! Please subscibe to our YouTube channel, that's where we'll be once this season of the podcast is over! And please do interact with us on our social media!

Empath Talk, Mental Health Check Up, Don't Worry be Happy

Empath Talk, Mental Health Check Up, Don't Worry be Happy

On this light and breezy episode Rebecca and I talk about being empaths, what that entails, and how we as highly sensitive people must detach ourselves from the world out there as social animals enough to lower our stress levels and to find our sense of humanity, sense of humor, and a joy that endures, despite life always coming at us! To find our inner silly heart, and to let go of all those expectations, all the hurt, and all that hate out there in the world. Then, we will talk a little bit about how we as highly sensitive people must continually filter, block, and sort through this life for better mental and spiritual health, and process it in a way that's healthy, that allows us to find cathartic release and a sense of identity and wisdom in the daily struggle of living. At the end of the day, we can become so disconnected to our own joys and heart where we stray from who we really are, or we can lean into our goodness, kindness, and humor within, and find a wisdom and power in ourselves, an attitude and spark that hopefully will infect the world with our joy, our positivity, and our hope, and to grow into our wisdom and heart of who we really are, not out of who we were always meant to be. At the end of the day, we can either grow from this experience called life or we can let it take from us forever, the choice is ours!Please support the show! Please subscribe to Chef Bry Comedy!

Mind, Body, & Soul-Building! Building the Life You Want, Reconciling the Life You Have, Getting Gripes Off Your Chest First

On this very personal and real but super light episode, Rebecca and I get down and dirty about our less than perfect life and mental health, and some of the gripes and frustrations we have with the world in its current state, and our current circumstances these days. Sometimes life can feel so good and pleasant, or terrible and dysfunctional depending on our current perspective and state of mind. This episode explores some of the ways in which we allow ourselves to become untethered and lose our priorities that steal our joy away, or otherwise preoccupy our time when we know we shouldn't let it! Then, we'll talk about some of the noise and nonsense out there that can contribute to poor mental health outcomes and a cascade of failures that makes us shut down or stop trying. Then lastly, some of the ways we can reset our priorities to get our mind and body right to really allow our souls to soar unincumbered by the state of the world out there or our personal problems always getting in the way of our progress and joy.

The Lessons in Star Trek, the Actual Progressive Agenda, Futurism Done Right

The Lessons in Star Trek, the Actual Progressive Agenda, Futurism Done Right

On this super fun and futuristic episode, Rebecca and I talk about Star Trek and what is it trying to teach us about life, society, and about futurism? Also, what are some of the similarities between the Star Trek agenda and the Progressive agenda, if any, and how can we break the chains of hatred, regressiveness, oppression, and exclusionism in our culture and society today to arrive at a place of best practices, and building a world that is safe, prosperous, and free, where individualism is celebrated and not chastised, and where every walk of life no matter where you come from can make the best life possible just like anybody else? We want to talk about the inherent dangers in our culture and sociopolitical landscape today, and how to fight for and find a life balance and a longevity in being your truest self that endures, and how might we see and prepare for the inherent intolerances and hate in our culture today? Then lastly, we'll talk about what Star Trek means to us, and how it's helped shape us as people. This is a fun one you guys, so strap in, and let's make it so! Engage!Support us! Come say hi!

On this fun, thoughtful episode, our hearts are forever lingering on the constant craziness and weirdness of this world. And so, we want to know how to find comfort and a good fit in a world full of agendas that's actually right for YOU! At the end of the day this life can be insurmountably complicated, so much so that people often lose focus and their priorities, they lose sight of how to see the agendas and attitudes out there, to the point where we don't always know where to look, and how to traverse this life in order to find joy, success, and to avoid bad people and bad choices. To be able to look inward and derive real meaning and soul comfort and confidence when it comes to sorting life and finding happiness in an oftentimes tragic and chaotic world.

The Art of Chill, The Big Lebowski, Happiness & Hope Despite No Instant Results

The Art of Chill, The Big Lebowski, Happiness & Hope Despite No Instant Results

On this episode Rebecca and I talk about the necessity of balancing exertion and recuperation, and how we could all gain wisdom, perspective, and happiness from simply mastering the art of chilling out and going with the flow more often. We'll talk about the 1997 cult hit The Big Lebowski and some of our favorite things about it, and the philosophy behind "Dudeism" that sprang from it. Is there something that can be learned from this absurdist movie and its teachings? Is it a sustainable life philosophy this day and age, living in highly demanding, divisive, and modern times?! At the end of the day, sometimes we have to search to find perspective, wisdom, humor, and having the patience and tenacity to endure when the world is taking and rarely ever giving. Life success is possible, and we feel that sometimes "less is more" when you're trying to achieve in this life. That there's a grace to life success, health, fitness, mental health and robust living. Let's talk about it! Enjoy the show!https://linktr.ee/chefbrycomedyChef Bry Comedy | Twitter, Instagram, Facebook | Linktree Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Necessity for Humor for Good Mental Health, Fighting for What's Right, UFOs UAPs Right Now in 2023

On this fun and irreverent episode, Rebecca and I first catch you up on our lives as of late, as we help my mom beat her cancer diagnosis. Then, we will talk about the Tennessee 3 and the little fires of authoritarian quasi-fascism cropping up around the USA, and what to do about it. Then, we'll share with you our imperfect lives with imperfect mental health, but at the heart of our happiness and balance lies one key ingredient; a wicked sense of humor! How we keep joy and humor front and center in a mad mad world. Lastly, we will catch you up on everything you ought to know about the modern UFO/UAP phenomenon around the globe in the year 2023, and more specifically, how the US government has changed its tune when it comes to the reporting of the phenomenon, and how we might finally get some transparency and functionality from a government that used to deny it at every cost to finally being a part of the solution.If you like us, like what we're all about, or care about the mission and brand, you can help us by pitching in $1 or $2 toward the cause in our various tip jars on Link Tree or by becoming a patron on Patreon, or at minimal, simply by subscribing to Chef Bry Comedy! on our YouTube channel, as we finish up this last season of the podcast, then move to our new visual platform on YouTube!

Healing Your Wounded Soul, Finding Catharsis, Staying YOU in a Me Me Me Society Part II

PART 2 of 2...On this peppy spitfire episode, on a day when Rebeca was in a particularly rare "on fire" kind of mood, so I try to utilize her angst and life fatigue to tackle the important subject of, how can we heal our wounded soul after we've had just about enough bullshit and soul letdown after feeling overwhelmed by the totality of dumb, immature, dysfunctional, or hateful bullshit in the world today?! More specifically, when the accumulation of bad people and immature and awful nonsense in the world does a real number to our heart and soul, how can we put the pieces back together and feel good and empowered again after a string of emotional letdowns or one big letdown that appears to not want to go away?! What can we do to find catharsis, peace, and center again after an episode of emotional grief and heartache on a deeply emotional and spiritual level!? First, we will start with an article about what the function of emotions are in order to gain insight into what emotions are for and what they're all about. Then, we'll go down our BIG LIST of things that both HURT and HEAL our soul, after an emotional upset by something external. Then lastly, Rebecca with talk about an article about how to find real catharsis in life.At the end of the day, what we are all trying to accomplish in this life is to find meaning, value, validation, and opportunity in life, to simply make the best of our circumstances and get ahead in this weird wild world.

This is a good fun irreverent episode you guys, especially if you enjoy it when we're a little bit fired up! For those who know us, I think you're going to get a kick out of this one, especially if you tend to agree with us! It's never about anger, hate, or hurting anyone! No, it's all about finding catharsis and the strength to fight fire with fire in a sometimes insane and backwards regressive social construct!

Turn Your Sensitivity into a Superpower Instead of a Weakness

Life is Short, Enjoy it! Your Inner Silly Heart vs Inner Disciplinarian, & Why We Love Weird Stuff Like Ghosts, Cryptids, & UFOs!

Life is Short, Enjoy it! Your Inner Silly Heart vs Inner Disciplinarian, & Why We Love Weird Stuff Like Ghosts, Cryptids, & UFOs!

On this very fun and enlightening episode, first Rebecca and I have some big news to share with you about the show, our future, and some serious medical news. Then Rebecca and I talk about how you can find balance between all of life's demands, from fitness and career, to activism and civic participation, to leisure and getting ahead in a way that's still fun and enjoyable that doesn't deteriorate your mind, body, and soul. We then talk about work vs play balance, the "pleasure principle" vs our "civic responsibility," and a balance between being happy and that need to always be right. Then lastly, we end on, why do people dabble in the playful weird world of aliens and UFOs, ghosts and ghoulies, bigfoot and cyprids, and all things "out there," bizarre, unexplained, and macabre? It's all about finding cosmic perspective, spiritual groundedness and emotional comfort. To find balance, control, and meaning amongst the chaos. To explore and seek answers to that which defies easy explanation or understanding, and to satisfy our understanding of our place in the universe. At the end of the day, human beings have inquisitive hearts, restless spirits, and very real emotional and personal needs. A desire to find answers to both our innermost mortal queries and life's biggest questions in the cosmos. To somehow find happiness and balance between real world problems and our innermost spiritual and emotional needs.Support the show! Become a Patron on Patreon! Share with family and friends!

Paranormal Spirituality, Energy & Intention, Accepting our Differences Part II

On this very fun and enlightening 2-part episode Rebecca and I talk about our love and fascination for the paranormal, and how it's become our spirituality of sorts, in the sense that it appeals to our sense of curiosity and fascination with our place in the cosmos, the relationship of the physical and the metaphysical, our overall understanding of life and death, energy and matter, as well as satisfying that morbid curiosity we all crave in life, trying to get to the heart of what we really are as beings! Getting down to perhaps what this thing called life really is. Then, we shift the conversation towards our spiritual differences, society and different peoples and cultures, then tackle the tribalistic divisiveness in our culture we find ourselves in, that can't seem to accept our inherent differences.
