The Malliard Report: Where the Paranormal Meets Pennsylvania Grit.

Almost 40 years ago, one of the fastest growing religions in Japan was officially established. Happy Science as it is known is rooted in the principle of doing good within the world. Happy Science Members focus on attaining enlightenment through activities such as daily self-reflections, giving love, and helping create a modern utopia. This week on The Malliard Report, Jim welcomes one of the key speakers of the movement Yoichi Utebi to the show to discuss the faith, his career as a producer, and much more.

“Yoichi Utebi is a producer and world lecturer for Happy Science. Born in Japan in 1968, Utebi grew up in Beirut, Lebanon, and New York City. Raised in a rare Japanese Christian family, he was deeply touched by Muslim culture and the beauty of Lebanon during his formative years in Beirut. However, the Middle East also exposed Utebi to the horrors of war, as he and his family dodged bullets and bombings before fleeing to London and back to Japan, leaving everything behind in a sudden evacuation. In the 7th grade, Utebi moved to New York for 10 years, where he was exposed to friends from multiple cultures and ethnicities. His rock band produced a popular album and gained quite a following in the city before Utebi decided to forego his musical pursuits and return to Japan. After 12 years of experience in marketing and senior management at various American IT companies in Japan, Utebi joined Happy Science in 2010, where he quickly rose to Director of International Communications. Utebi is currently a minister and world lecturer for Happy Science and a producer on The Cherry Bushido.”

This is a great episode and Yoichi’s outlook is certainly infectious. You can learn more about his teaching over at selfdiscoverymedia.com.

The safety and security industry has got to be one of the most rapidly evolving and wildly varying industries around. Safety and security can be an incredibly broad term that covers everything from personal identity information to protecting information and data that is critical to national defense. From security cameras to data breaches, and everything in between, this week’s guest on the Malliard Report is on the front lines of defense. This week Jim welcomes Steve Surfaro to the show to discuss the current state of security in the public sector, how the consumer sector is out pacing the commercial sector, and even how the paranormal field is driving advances in security. (It’s the Malliard Report, of course there must be something paranormal worked in!)

“With thirty years of security industry experience, Steve Surfaro is Axis Communications Industry Liaison and Chairman of the Security Industry Association’s Public Safety Working Group. He is also Chairman of the ASIS Security Applied Sciences Council. A subject matter expert in physical and cyber security solutions, he has expanded nextgeneration video codecs, forensic video, predictive and prescriptive analytics, data science, IoT, smart cities, security automation and UAS, UGV systems. He is author of the Digital Video Handbook, a DHS S+T publication providing guidance for law enforcement, fire and other first responders. Steve is the recipient of the Roy N. Bordes Council Member Award of Excellence from ASIS International”

Our journey through life is difficult. There is no other way around it. We face challenges everyday from outside sources on a near constant basis; things we can control, things we can’t, people that seem to have the soul purpose to just make our lives hell. Then there is our biggest critic that we stare down, wrestle with, and feel like we lose to constantly. Ourselves. Navigating our own hang-ups, spiritual challenges, and never ending critiques, we truly our own worst enemy. This week on The Malliard Report, Jim welcomes a guest who has a purpose to help those that may be lost on their journey, in addition to being a prolific medium, and a background dancer in a 70s musical that we love. This week Jim Welcomes Vincent Genna to the show.

Ancient Egypt. A time and place that evokes imagery and mystery unlike any other. Everything from ornate, colossal statues, tales of cursed tombs, golden adornments, god-like rulers, and alleged advanced ancient technologies are sprinkled throughout the stories weaved into the history of Egypt. A kingdom that existed from approximately 3100 B.C. to about 30 A.D. still seems to live on today. Igniting the imaginations of Hollywood, scientist, children, mystics, and countless others. From Aliester Crowley to Giorgio Tsoukalos, to even today’s guest on The Malliard Report. This week Jim welcomes a longtime friend and returning guest to the show Mark Anthony to discuss King Tutankhamun, ancient Egyptian architecture, and much more.

“Mark Anthony the “Psychic Lawyer and Psychic Explorer (aka Psychic Attorney and Psychic Adventurer),” is a world-renowned fourth generation science based evidential psychic medium who communicates with spirits.

What are the two things that we are told to never discuss at the dinner table? Especially with in-laws. Religion and Politics. With technology and the age of information that we live in, you would think that discussing ideas of those two categories would be lively, engaging, civilized. But we could not be any further from such a position. We fight and bicker over the most non-sensical, out of context bits, and try to claim the higher ground. This week on The Malliard Report, Jim welcomes a guest that dives headfirst into both topics regularly with his own Podcast “Talkin’ Politics and Religion Without Killin’ Each Other.” This week we sit down with Corey Nathan and discuss just that…religion and politics.
Corey was raised in an observant Jewish household attending an Orthodox synagogue. His family is mostly from Brooklyn, New York, but Corey grew up in Jersey. In his late 20s, much to the family's chagrin, Corey became a born-again Christian. Not long after this epiphany, he began to find many of the default social and political positions of contemporary American Evangelicalism to be at odds with the very Scriptures that are supposed to be Christians' authority for how to engage in the world.
If you are looking at diving into politics and religion without killing anyone, make sure to head over to Corey’s podcast home politicsandreligion.us and give his show a listen.

Even though it feels like we are still stuck in 2020, we have quickly found ourselves staring down the tail end of 2022 and that can mean only one thing. Yes, that is right, November is here and that can mean only one thing. It is the annual Jim Malliard prediction show.

It would be probably safe to say that everyone is going into 2023 with the utmost hesitation. The last three years have brought an absolute crap shoot of historical acts, and the predictions reflect as such. One would hope to see prosperity and good tidings for the year, but it seems more like a dystopic sci-fi novel. As we steer closer to making Orwell fact instead of fiction let’s looks at a few of the other predictions for this year:

Could there be more “riots” this year? It does seem that tensions are already high, and the proverbial pot is just getting hotter. It almost feels like the powers that be are setting the stage for a fiery second act.

Space Force. Seemingly a joke by the other branches of the military (YouTuber Nikko Ortiz has some of the best content for this) will finally have their time to shine; showcasing tech and weaponry that far exceeds what we could even imagine.

The end of Twitter? (Poor Jim) With the recent take over by Elon Musk, Twitter seems to be in absolute upheaval. Could this be the start of the end for the once powerhouse platform?

These and many other predictions were shared on this episode, and if any of them come true, it will certainly make for an interesting year. Make sure to join in on the action every week with the live chat and show over on malliard.com. There is also merch, the newsletter, past shows, and more.

We get a dopamine rush when we see the social media notification that someone liked our content. We strain ourselves to our very max at our job to chase up proverbial ladders. We destroy small businesses because we want our product within 2 days or less. We throw fits because a coffee shop doesn’t have our favorite flavor syrup. It is without question that we live in a “me centered” culture. What happens though when we take ourselves out of the equation and put the focus on others. We go that extra mile for someone. Well, this week on The Malliard Report, Jim welcomes Rabbi Manis Friedman to the show to discuss just such things.
Rabbi Manis Friedman is a Hassid rabbi, author, social philosopher, and public speaker. He is also the dean of the Bais Chana Institute of Jewish Studies. Friedman authored Doesn't Anyone Blush Anymore?, which was published in 1990 and is currently in its fourth printing. In 1971, inspired by the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Friedman as a shaliach ("emissary") cofounded the Bais Chana Women International, an Institute for Jewish Studies in Minnesota for women with little or no formal Jewish education. Friedman has lectured in cities throughout the US, as well as London, Hong Kong, Cape Town, and Johannesburg in South Africa, Melbourne and Sydney in Australia, and several South and Central American cities.
Rabbi Manis is a fantastic speaker and guest. You can find him on YouTube and on his personal site itsgoodtoknow.org.

In 1987 Michel Desmarquet stated that he was abducted by very kind and attractive, 8-foot tall, hermaphroditic, humanoid aliens and taken to their advanced planet. He was shown the function of the universe through a metaphysical form, in addition to how to correct our planets future path, and potential warnings if we do not. Quite a story to say the least, but the real question is how does this story, and a Chinese Court Interpreter have a common thread? Well this week’s guest on The Malliard Report, was so moved by the Thiaoouba Prophecy, he set out on his own journey to follow in the path of Michel. This week Jim welcomes Samuel Chong.

“Everything I know about love is taught by the people who really never loved me. We strive to be loved… we do… and we hope to be loved back but sometimes what we give is not returned in the same authentic way… so let’s don’t allow this to change our heart. Let’s learn from it. Keep on spreading love around as love is really all we need.”

The phrase “you get what you give” certainly comes to mind with this week’s guest on The Malliard Report. This week Jim welcomes Claudia Noriega Bernstein to the show. Claudia is an artist, writer, philanthropist, life coach, mentor, mother, and wife. During her career as a journalist, she has worked for magazines and television in South America and the US, touching subjects from parenting, forgiveness, and growth to political issues.

Claudia has placed an emphasis on her role as a life coach because she believes everyone deserves a helping hand, a shoulder to lean on, or someone to help shine light on a dark path ahead. She wants to see people improve, achieve their goals, and help live the life that they have always dreamt of. If you want to schedule a coaching session with Claudia, or purchase one of her books, you can head over to her website brighterdaybooks.com and you can find many of her session on YouTube.
