SHINE with Terry Jaymes

SHINE with Terry Jaymes – Confidence, The Universe, Relationships & The Butter Show 🧈✨ (LIVE) Tonight felt different. I can’t explain it, but I feel like I’m getting my confidence back. Not the loud, radio-guy confidence. The grounded kind. The earned kind. The “I’ve been through some things and I’m still standing” kind. And here’s the wild part… I have this very strong feeling that the universe is taking me absolutely nowhere special. Not to a mountaintop.Not to a grand finale.Not to some glitter-covered destiny. Just… forward. And honestly? That feels amazing. We had a bunch of new faces in the live chat tonight (which fired me up more than you know), and I genuinely feel like some real friendships are forming here. That’s not algorithm. That’s energy. I also answered two powerful emails: • One from a man who feels like he’s losing his wife — and doesn’t know how to stop it.• Another about success… but this one came with a warning that most people ignore. Plus — we talked about the debut of The Butter Show 🧈 (yes, it’s happening… and yes, it’s exactly as weird as it sounds). If you’re in a season of rebuilding confidence…If you feel like life isn’t taking you somewhere “special” but you’re still hopeful…If you want honest conversation without the motivational fluff… You’re in the right place. Welcome to SHINE.We don’t sparkle.We glow from friction. #SHINEwithTerryJaymes #LiveStream #Confidence #Relationships #Over50AndFearless #TheBraveYearsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on SHINE with Terry Jaymes… we covered cardio, butter, emotional spirals, and hope. You know — wellness. Terry kicks things off with an update on his latest fitness era: white woman workouts. That’s right. We’re talking highly committed, mildly aggressive, spiritually confusing exercise energy. If you’ve ever stretched like you’re healing generational trauma while secretly competing with everyone in the room, this one’s for you. Then we check in on the delicious empire known as The Butter Show (yes, butter journalism is still happening and yes, it still matters). But the real turn? The gym observations. Terry dives into the haunting aura of desperation surrounding older guys at the gym — men mid-rep, mid-identity crisis, still fighting to become the version of themselves they feel inside. It’s funny. It’s uncomfortable. It’s weirdly heartfelt. And Terry makes the case that the women in their lives might need to understand what’s really going on behind the protein shakes and unnecessary supersets. Then it’s email time, where things get real:How do you stay in a positive mindset when life is going good — without sabotaging it, overthinking it, or waiting for the other shoe to drop? Classic SHINE territory:Laugh. Observe humanity. Accidentally have an emotional breakthrough. If you’ve ever:• reinvented yourself at the gym• emotionally processed through snacks• felt hopeful and suspicious about it Welcome home.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I couldn't let well enough alone. My new LIVE STREAMING show starts Tuesday 1/20. So I took to YouTube, Facebook and Twitch to let you know what to look for and to play my new theme song. That turned into a talk about taking responsibility for all your thoughts and actions. To quote one of the viewers "You just did your first show." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Another round of uncomfortably honest fun with Terry Jaymes on MAKE IT WEIRD. This time we dive into the things you’d never admit at a dinner party but secretly can’t stop thinking about: Why half the planet seems to have had a thing for their teacher (and the awkward fallout).  The lies people are currently living like they’re starring in their own low-budget soap opera. And the absolute art of taking something beautiful in your life… and smashing it with both hands like it’s a piñata full of regret. It’s raw. It’s hilarious. It’s uncomfortable in all the best ways. And as always, no small talk—just straight into the deep end.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Terry Jaymes is back with another round of raw, unfiltered calls where strangers skip the BS and dive straight into the weird. First up is Casey, who opens up about one of the worst nights of her life—turns out rock bottom comes with a few decent lessons. Next, Sasan takes us on a ride from shattered bones to the eternal mystery of why women keep chasing dirtbag dudes like it’s an Olympic sport. Finally, Ed calls in, and let’s just say things got spicy fast—this one’s definitely not safe to play in church. It’s messy, it’s awkward, it’s hilarious, and it’s all happening LIVE. No script, no safety net… just Terry and three callers proving once again that small talk is for cowards.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

MAKE IT WEIRD – Hosted by Terry Jaymes The Soul Excavator is back, baby—and he’s not here to play patty-cake with your feelings. Terry kicked things off with Sarah, who bravely answered the brutal question: “If your ex had to describe your naked body in one sentence, what kind of verbal chainsaw massacre would it be?” What started as a roast of the flesh turned into a plot twist nobody saw coming. Next up, Mellow Daniello—cool name, deep soul—got hit with the question about the last time she felt broken. Instead of a cliché, she dropped one of the most raw, thoughtful answers in the young history of the show. It was like therapy, but with more swearing. And then came Greg. Oh, Greg. He went full confessional booth and told us who he really is when nobody’s watching. Spoiler alert: it’s not what you think… unless you think he’s a philosopher trapped in a dude’s body. Every call was a reminder why this show is catching fire—no small talk, no filters, just brave souls laying themselves bare. The weird keeps growing, and so does the tribe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Terry usually keeps it tight with 2–3 callers, but today he broke his own damn rule and let the weird flow way past curfew. Calib jumps in first to give Terry some unsolicited life advice (because who doesn’t love that?), Zach’s back with a purpose update that may or may not involve an existential crisis, Curt and Terry dive into how to deal with pure evil without getting arrested, Terri calls for a full-on gut-check, and Elise closes the show by wrestling with the whole “faith” thing — and whether it’s a beautiful guiding light or just a cosmic prank. It’s raw, unfiltered, and probably not safe for your delicate sensibilities… so hit play.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of MAKE IT WEIRD, I took calls from three bold souls who weren’t afraid to strip down emotionally and get weird with me. First up was Ed, who I smacked right out of the gate with a question about Guardian Angels. (Spoiler: he wasn’t ready. Nobody ever is.) Then Zach called feeling a little apprehensive —until something wild happened. His nerves vanished, his voice dropped an octave, and boom—he unlocked a truth bomb that might’ve just set him on the path to his actual life purpose. And finally, Sandy—sweet, mystical Sandy—reminded us all how powerful it is to have a “sacred place.” (Don’t worry, it’s not as churchy as it sounds... or maybe it is. That’s the beauty of weird.) No small talk. No BS. Just real humans, real emotions, and really weird connections.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You beautiful sons of bi****es have got to stop making me cry. I went LIVE thinking I’d just shoot the s with some strangers—maybe laugh a little, flex my emotional muscles, whatever. Instead, you punched me right in the soul... again. On today’s LIVE STREAM of Make It Weird, I asked Ryan how he’s doing. Like, really doing—not the “I’m fine” crap. Turns out, he’s been carrying the weight of his dad’s death for years. That convo cracked something open in both of us. It was raw, it was real, it was… weirdly healing. Then Clay called in and kept the grief train rolling—this time about losing his dogs. Yeah, dogs. Cue the waterworks, again. I tried to wrap things up on a lighter note, but Randal had other plans and hit me with a challenge that slapped me right back into the emotional deep end. This wasn’t just a show. It was group therapy with no co-pay and a bunch of misfit magic.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

No small talk. No script. Just raw, unfiltered human connection. Terry Jaymes throws his phone number on the screen and dares strangers to call in live. What follows? Conversations that get deep, fast. From metaphysical madness to gut-punch regrets to bucket lists and broken dreams—nothing is off limits. This isn’t a podcast. It’s a damn soul excavation. Get weird. Stay weird. Welcome to the show. First up, Rick called in and schooled me on how to take criticism like a grown-ass adult. Then Psychic Kami showed up, flipped the script, and forced me to dig deeper—a brutal, beautiful challenge I didn’t see coming. And just when I thought I had my footing, Alison dropped a truth bomb about her dark past and how owning it transformed everything. No fluff. No filters. Just raw connection. This is MAKE IT WEIRD.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Terry Jaymes is back to MAKE IT WEIRD — live, raw, and totally unscripted. No small talk. Just a phone number on the screen and whoever’s brave (or weird) enough to call. And wow, they called. First up, Randal. What started as a conversation turned into a metaphysical mind-meld—shared dreams, glitch-in-the-matrix moments, and some theories that would make your third eye twitch. Then came Kevin, who dropped a regret so real it punched Terry right in the gut. But that regret unraveled into a badass story about his life in the military and as a first responder. Heavy stuff. Honest. Hero-level soul work. Finally, Rick rang in with some lighter chaos—bucket lists, Playboy bunnies, and the kind of weird you didn’t know you needed. Another beautiful mess of truth, humor, and human connection. Hit play. Get uncomfortable.

Another magical ride through the emotional haunted house we call life. On this episode of Make It Weird, strangers skipped the pleasantries and dove headfirst into the deep end. First up: Keith, a landscaping wizard turned accidental philosopher. One minute we’re talking about mulch, the next we’re unraveling the freakin’ universe. He got lost along the way—but guess what? So did Terry. And together they MacGyver’d their way back to personal power with duct tape and a spiritual flashlight. Then came Heidi, who casually dropped a bomb about family rituals and her mom’s badass legacy that she’s passing on like it’s the family heirloom of wisdom. And just when we thought it was over, Randal called in with a redemption arc straight out of an indie film. Dude’s haunted by his past but clawing his way back with raw hope and zero apologies. No scripts. No fluff. Just real humans getting weird in the best way possible.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode of MAKE IT WEIRD with Terry Jaymes went way deeper than I ever expected. First, I connected with Dave—he's sprinting toward one of his biggest fears: rekindling a relationship. That’s either brave or batshit… probably both. Then Mike called. His honesty about giving up on his future hit me like a sledgehammer to the soul. I cried—on the stream. Not because I'm soft, but because I felt him. And I didn’t know how to help, which wrecked me in the best way possible.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thanks to the three brave souls who dug deep tonight. We had a great time and made some deep connections. Matt admits he's not the dad he wants to be (welcome to the guilt parade), Shelly accidentally becomes a post-divorce guru while making it uncomfortably deep, and Sandy tries to resurrect a dead friendship without a Ouija board. It's raw, weird, and just the kind of emotional rollercoaster you didn’t know you needed — all live, all unscripted, all gloriously messy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This wasn't supposed to be the first episode. I was just testing my gear—checking lighting, tweaking audio, and pretending to look like I knew what I was doing. Then I hit “Go Live” and decided to show people what MAKE IT WEIRD might feel like. No big deal. Just a harmless little test... that ended up kicking me in the soul. Somehow, a random tech check turned into a full-blown existential gut-punch of a show. I opened up, got real, and weirdly, it felt right. So right that even my harshest critic—my wife Shari—looked at me with teary eyes and said, “This is your calling.” So here it is. The accidental debut of MAKE IT WEIRD. Raw. Unsanitized. Totally unplanned. And apparently... destiny.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to the debut episode of The Anti-Realist Club — a space for dreamers, seekers, and anyone tired of playing it safe. In this powerful first installment, Terry Jaymes — a man who went from cleaning up life’s messes to creating a life most only dream of — shares his personal story of rising from humble beginnings using Universal Law and unique life-shifting techniques he developed along the way. But success came at a cost. Over time, Terry stopped listening to the Universe and started playing it safe. The magic slowed. The momentum faded. For 15 years, he drifted away from the very mindset that got him there. Until one unlikely encounter at jury duty flipped the script. Terry opens up about the surprising moment that reignited his fire, and how a simple sign from the Universe reminded him of who he really is — and why he’s back to reclaim the magic.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Here's the truth. I'm still paying for my website and podcast hosting so I figured I may as well do this from time to time. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's that time. I'm done.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today I rant about the way I walk and how I found out that it's a good thing. Plus why you need to be comfortable with uncertainty, why I never have and never will endorse a political candidate and a way you can get closer to your dream. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do. When you're put into difficult positions it can destroy you and I'm no exception. Today I explain my rise to the worst manager in the world. Plus I rant about why I have to reimagine what retirement looks like, why desperation is your friend, why heartbreaks are a lost art and how I turned a phobia into a plus. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If I have one fight left in me it will most likely be with a pedestrian. Today I explore the idea of universal law being a hoax, the power of choice, my feeling like a fraud and what really matters.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I needed to talk about a lot apparently. There's some deep breathing, vacation stuff, the Dodgers, a spiritual update, my thoughts on David Goggins, are podcasters experts, how to be indestructible, hurting peoples feelings for money, what being thoughtful to me really means and an update on my new game show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Shari's beauty potion burns my face off. Great way to start vacation. I also heard a great saying that set me up for failure. I believe excitement is the key to a happy life and I go in search of god. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I'm back! I start the show with some BREAKING NEWS and then I get into how it's time to reimagine my life, the possibilities of moving to another country and why, plus how to structure your day for success and how easy it is for the media to own your mind. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today I rant about my new game show, the difference between a good experience and a bad experience and how to remain hopeful as you age. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As we get to know one another better, today I get into my thoughts on death. It's actually a somewhat positive spin that may comfort you as well. Bottom line is that there's peace in the unknown. Plus I take my stab at solving the mental health crisis.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yep, I'm going through it right now. I'm asking myself all kinds of questions. One of the main things I'm faced with is my current age. Is there still time to dream? Can I still have the full life I've always imagined? Or .... is this it? I'm searching for answers and I'm hoping you can led me some insight on this one, because it sucks.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I'm back and as usual talking about things I didn't plan. I let you in on my daily creed, I wonder if I'm a stoic, a woman at Costco broke my heart, my current heavy life, Bill Burr, Noel Gallagher and being told what to think.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After further review it turns out that I'm a proud boomer. The boomer mentality can take you a long way in life. I also get into something called crystallized intelligence and my new top priorities. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Lex and Terry crew got together last night for a live streaming show centered around UFO's and Ghosts. It was fantastic. However it's led me down a familiar path that usually doesn't end well. Plus I get into the State of T11.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After my short series, I'm back with T11. I know I promised I would take a lot more chances as I plan to live up to the Uplifting and Inappropriate moniker. But before I get to that I need to answer a recurring question. Today is all about why I think dating apps set people up for failure and the one thing you can do if it's a long-term relationship you desire. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I've discovered that life is all about addition and subtraction and in this series finale I get into it. I also hit on what I believe is next for me and how big your metaphorical balls need to be to quit something that was once important to you. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What made me so unhappy? Thought is energy. Good or bad. It's a scientific fact. Plus the power of unconditional love. It's also very important to pay attention to what you're paying attention to. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Regaining your personal power requires a lot of guts and change. Are you ready? Today I tell you where I went wrong and what I've done to get my power back and how living in your inside world is a must. The key is making the decision to start. You're already there. You just need to see it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Open your mind and hear me out. I learned something at an early age that changed my life. Today I get into how I created an amazing life for myself until doubt took over. The truth is doubting yourself is the only reason you don't have the life you want. I've gone back to my old belief system, took a strong look at my upbringing, and now I'm following my heart again. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I have something important I want to share with you and it's going to take awhile. It has to do with getting your power back. How to manifest everything you want and my very personal experience of feeling powerful, then powerless to powerful again. If you have an open mind you will be able to apply what I've recently learned to your life. If you do, my guess is that life will become magical. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I know I'm not breaking new ground here, but it's a fact, the only thing that is guaranteed is this very moment. Do you think it's possible to live every moment knowing this? I also explore looking for the small wins in my life in an effort to regain some of my past magic. And is this podcast becoming a good source for people who are stressed about aging? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Now that I've dropped a few of my goals and dreams it seems like I'm having a tough time replacing them with something I'm equally passionate about. Maybe I need a new recipe for success and here I'll explain why I believe people are doomed using the same game plan. Plus, my journaling has brought me to wonder who really has our backs. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I may have decided to take my quest for spirituality old school and when I explain why you'll totally understand. Basically modern day prophets are frauds and all about the clout. Plus why choosing your friends may be the most important thing you'll ever do. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Self-help guru Jay Shetty is getting some unwanted attention about who he really is. I have a few reasons why this is the best time in history to be a liar. Today is all about the self-help industry and why it seems to be ok to steal other peoples content. Hell, creators like Colin and Samir seem to think it's all part of the game. Plus, was it a mistake to let AI write my bio? MY WEBSITESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Let me rant about the Girl Scouts first. Then I'll get into something I really noticed this weekend. My high achieving friends (and I have many) all share the same quality. It also defines insecure people vs. confident people. It was a weekend of soul-searching where I noticed that my follow-through is why I've had any success in my life. Plus, if you have any moments of hypochondria I have a suggestion that may help. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

All of us have habits that we know are holding us back. There is hope you can change. You just have to put in the work. I also get into honoring friends and wonder if I'm living in a bubble. Plus I tackle the controversial issue of being a man.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Psychic Kami joins me today for a rare interview. I asked her what would make this talk a success for her and she said, "Let's just connect" which was music to my ears. And that we did. I believe we both came away feeling more powerful and it's our hope that you do too. Connect with Kami HereSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's simple. Journaling saved my life. So why did I stop and why I did I just decide to get back into it? I also explore how fear may have changed the course of my life. I think I've also figured our why older people are so pissed and how I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen to me. GET A WOMBAT SHIRT See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The struggles are real. The older you get the less people care about you professionally. You're no longer a commodity. You're easy to push to the side. The reality of it has hit me really hard. Listen as I do my best to get my head and heart around the issue while formulating a new plan. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Good news! I don't think I can stab someone. Once I let you know more about that it's back to my figuring out what the hell is wrong with me. It turns out I may be burned out. I will cover the symptoms of burnout and what you can do about it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today I remember Richard Lewis and get back into my Andrew Tate issues. That leads into my thoughts on mental toughness and intentions. From there it's all about spiritual beliefs and how lost I really am. Or am I? I even have found a way to justify that. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Every second that passes I feel like my future happiness fades. Today I go in depth on the subject. There's also a story about my high friend. Richard Sherman and Andrew Tate also make an appearance but not in the way they would like. And are you smart enough to know when you're being lied to. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today it's all about my relationship with manual labor and the men who do it. Plus my urge to troll some of these self-help "gurus" and how to combat the bad in social media. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This was a really hard podcast for me to do. If you enjoy seeing me struggle you've come to the right place. The T11 podcast is by far the most I've ever opened up about my dreams and life challenges. Could it be coming to an end?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
