We all want love, that happily-ever-after feeling of finding your soulmate. What if someone not only claimed they could help you find that perfect partner, they guaranteed it? Jeff and Shaleia, a young couple famous on YouTube, teach about ‘Twin Flames’ — a deep, romantic connection with your perfect partner in their videos. It’s divine love, you’re designed for no one else, and they’re designed for no one else. But the path to finding your Twin Flame isn’t so simple. Some followers claim they were encouraged to cut ties with friends and family that are holding them back, and to claim their Twin Flame by any means necessary. From Wondery, Twin Flames is a podcast about what happens when the quest for love turns into a dangerous obsession.

My almost brush with greatness...I used to be a high rise window washer in Seattle. One of the buildings we did was the one that Lars Ulrich's dad lived in. We got on the elevator to go to the roof and Lars' dad got on the elevator. I have been a fan forever. Saw Cliff Burton with them before he passed. My buddy turned to Lars' dad and said: "I am a big fan of tennis and I recognize you." Lars' dad turned to him and said: "Fuck off. I just watched the Metallica documentary on MTV too."
