From the freefall at KIISFM to a mid-air miracle 20,000 feet above the ground—it’s time to break down this week’s winners and losers. 

In this episode of Villains & Heroes, Brent is joined by the one and only Alex Malley to sift through the headlines that have us cheering and the stories that have us shaking our heads. We’re dissecting the numbers behind Sydney’s radio wars, the courtroom drama of a scorned lottery husband, and a heart-stopping rescue story that sounds like it’s straight out of a Hollywood thriller.

Plus, we look at the growing pains of the green revolution—and why your next car repair might turn into a two-month headache.

Tune in for the full breakdown of the people and policies making (or breaking) our week!

Ever heard the saying that your gut is your 'second brain'? 

It turns out that what you’re putting on your plate might be the secret key to your mood, focus, and energy levels. As part of our ongoing Holistic Health Series, we’re diving into a topic that affects every single one of us: the powerful link between our digestion and our mental state.

The Second Brain: Why roughly 90% of your body's "happy chemical" (serotonin) is produced in the gut and how a balanced microbiome regulates it.


The Mood-Food Connection: The powerful impact of whole foods and fermented favorites versus how quickly processed sugars and artificial sweeteners can drag your mood down.


Mindful Habits: Why how you eat matters just as much as what you eat—from slowing down and chewing thoroughly to staying properly hydrated.


Practical Starting Points: Simple, budget-friendly steps you can take today to support your gut health without turning your entire diet upside down.

Tune in to discover how taking care of your digestion can completely change how you feel every day.
