R&B singer Miguel joins us to unpack soul music, resentment, meditation, and what a real spiritual revolution might look like in a country obsessed with money. They unpack his journey from a Black Mexican kid navigating gangs and religion in Los Angeles to a genre bending artist whose new grunge R&B album confronts fear, guns, ego, and hope. Along the way they explore art as spiritual practice, healing family wounds, and how owning your audience can protect your peace in a chaotic world.
Miguel is a Grammy winning R&B singer, songwriter and producer known for his genre bending blend of soul, rock and alternative sounds on albums like Kaleidoscope Dream and Wildheart.
Miguel kicking off global CAOS Tour in February 2026. Tickets on sale at https://officialmiguel.com/

11 December 2025, 10:40 am - 57 minutes 25 secondsWhat Happens When We Die? (w/ Hospice Nurse Julie)
Hospice Nurse Julie sits down with Rainn to completely re-frame how we think about death, dying and what might come next. From the biology of how the body peacefully shuts down to mystical deathbed visions, guardian angel stories and “miracle pancakes,” she shares raw, hopeful and surprisingly funny lessons from years at the bedside. They dive into addiction, spirituality, fear, atheism, pets showing up at the end and how remembering our mortality can actually make life feel more precious and free.

Petey also performs God Is In The Gray and Don't Tell The Boys live and shares the story behind his new album The Yips and the characters who drink through their pain at a dive bar.
