Judy Greer (Arrested Development, Marvel’s Ant-Man, 13 Going on 30, Halloween Kills) and Mayim relive the now legendary "Wil Wheaton fiasco", reminisce about THE BIG BANG THEORY (the role Judy continues to be recognized for most today) and their shared love for pickles and Taylor Swift!

Judy reveals her powerful journey through perimenopause, from her symptoms and what encouraged her to seek help, to hormones and what has worked for her. She opens up about her body image & self-esteem issues, her thoughts on GLP-1 drugs (Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy) and its effect on the body positivity movement. Judy discusses using alcohol as a reward and to ease social anxiety, sobriety and what it’s taught her about herself, her codependent tendencies, religion's role in processing grief, and how she finds ways to decompress after a particularly traumatic acting role. Mayim and Judy bond over their love of Taylor Swift! Judy recounts her Eras Tour experience and how Folklore made her a “Swiftie.”

PLUS, she explains why her mom got fired from being a nun and why playing the "best friend" is her go-to role. Don't miss this raw and inspiring chat!

Consciousness. Spontaneous healing. UAPs. Near Death Experiences. Manifestation. Psychic phenomena. Angels. Nothing is off limits if it can be approached with curiosity and rigor.



MBB started as a conversation about mental health — and quickly became something much bigger. Because the deeper you go into what it means to be human, the faster you run into questions science hasn’t fully answered yet.



Hosted by neuroscientist and cultural icon Mayim Bialik and spiritual explorer Jonathan Cohen, MBB is a multi-award-winning podcast where science and spirituality meet. Together they break down the assumptions, the misperceptions, and the boundaries between disciplines — and every breakdown is a breakthrough. This is where the biggest questions get taken seriously — and where you realize you’ve never been alone in asking them.



Can the mind actually heal the body? Can quantum physics explain psychic phenomena? What do Near Death Experiences reveal about the nature of consciousness and the seat of the human soul? What if the only thing separating you from your own intuition - or even God - is the assumption that it’s out of reach? And if governments are publicly acknowledging the existence of UFOs, what does that mean for the future of humanity?



These are the questions Mayim Bialik's Breakdown asks every week.
