In this episode, we enter America’s most haunted culinary dojo, the American hibachi, AKA the Waffle House. A place where your meal is prepared inches from your face all while someone sitting next to you is having coffee with their sleep paralysis demon.

We share true stories from our past and uncover evidence that each Waffle House may actually be a tiny wormhole in the space-time continuum.

We also put our friend Kory from The World Is My Burrito through a high-stakes Waffle House quiz, and talk about Waffle House songs that should not exist.

So grab some of that coffee that’s been on the burner since the Clinton administration, take a seat at the grill of destiny, and prepare yourself for the most smothered-and-covered episode we’ve ever done.

Today, we’re talking about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse—War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death. You know, the original disaster influencers. We’re digging into where these guys came from, what they were supposed to warn us about, and why, thousands of years later, they’re still wildly relevant in our modern hellscape of plagues, tyranny, war, and that low-grade sense of doom you feel every time you open  your phone.

Our annual holiday tradition returns—where we celebrate joy, goodwill, and the art of the curse.

This year is extra special as we finally get an update—and a conclusion—to one of our earliest Curse-mas stories: Mary the ghost, first discussed during the 2022

Tim kicks things off by unpacking the unsettling world of cursed furniture, proving once again that the real danger of the holiday season isn’t a drunk uncle—it’s antiques. Nate reminds us of Mary Lewyd, while Chris dives into the infamous Bucksport, Maine grave, the Martyr of Greenwood Cemetery, and how to dig up the bones of your ancestors to help stop the bad luck.

So grab a drink, dim the lights, and settle in—because nothing says Christmas like generational doom. This is against all oddities

On this episode, Nate returns to the mountain, aka the Monroe institute, to revisit those storied halls like a monk in an EEG headset, listening to frequencies designed to nudge his awareness just a smidge outside the factory settings. We also dig into Lifelines, Monroe’s method for talking with the dead, along with bilocation, astral shenanigans, and a dash of remote viewing because why not.

So settle in, tune up your brainwaves, and maybe keep one foot tethered to this plane of existence. Because we’re heading back into the place where consciousness gets stretchy, time gets weird, and apparently the dead still check their messages.

It’s spooky season people and everyone knows that spooky season is our favorite excuse to tell ghost stories and pretend our bad audio is actually “spirit activity.” On today’s episode Each brother comes armed with a few paranormal tales, and we’ve stitched in real stories from listeners who swear their they’ve seen beyond the vail.

So grab a pumpkin beer, light a candle, grab a blanket, and maybe keep the lights on. Because this episode isn’t just about telling ghost stories — it’s about inviting them in.

On today’s episode we chose to focus on Nate's upcoming annual costume party. The theme of which is titled "VHS Wars" with the hope that party goers stop being party poopers and come dressed as their favorite movie characters. Nate’s costume is particularly clever so we discuss it at length as well as welcome our intern Ella to the episode and quiz her on movies that came out before she was born.  Stick around. because this episode will help you - Let off some steam!

In this episode, we're exploring the 3I/Atlas mystery, a case that blends advanced aerospace technology, covert defense operations, and a growing cloud of online speculation. But true to form we spend more of our time talking about old trucks,Project Bluebeam, the speed of light, Objective acceptance, Whitley Strieber, The fourth mind, The year 2027, Non-linear time AI and manifestation for good measure. So Join us on a journey through the known, the unknown, and the speculative space in between. This is Against All Oddities.
