In the first half, certified counselor Howard Riback, a former gambling addict, shared his journey with gambling, emphasizing the importance of personal responsibility. "Gambling itself can be as much fun as having a drink or two," he noted but warned against the dangers of excess. Reflecting on his past, he admitted, "I abused it," acknowledging that many who struggle with gambling often fail to recognize when to stop. Riback described the allure of gambling, particularly his love for blackjack, which began at a young age. "I was enamored... not just for the money... but I love the math behind it," he explained. He cautioned that while gambling can be entertaining, it becomes problematic when individuals lose control.
He advised setting limits, recommending that gamblers treat their budget as an expense for entertainment, akin to a night out. "If you go with 200 bucks," knowing you're not going to see it again, "that's a great attitude," he said. But when people take out their credit cards or have a credit line established, "that's when the trouble begins." Riback also highlighted the growing prevalence of gambling through online platforms and sports betting, which he believes complicates the landscape. Ultimately, while a small percentage of gamblers face issues, the majority enjoy gambling responsibly. He pointed out that denial is common among problem gamblers until the consequences become unbearable for them. Riback concluded with a message of hope for those struggling, urging them to seek help.

In the latter half, C2C's investigative reporter Cheryll Jones shared her interview with ufologist Craig Campobasso, who delved into the fascinating world of different extraterrestrials and hybrids visiting Earth. Claiming there are "82 extraterrestrial races that have either visited us, are visiting us, or are living and working here as hybrids among us," his research includes first-hand meetings with contactees and a deep dive into decades of MUFON archives. Elaborating on the concept of hybridization (the mixing of human and alien DNA), he said "Earth has been speculated to be an experimental laboratory for extraterrestrials." He told Cheryll that both good and bad exist within every alien race (including Greys, Reptilians, hybrids, and Nordics), and urged listeners to "judge the individual and not the race."
Campobasso posited that the ancient Lemurians (and other human races) currently live underground or in the "inner Earth" and travel in subterranean bullet trains from one end of the planet to the other in a short amount of time. He also touched on the enigmatic "Men in Black," suggesting they may be connected to covert government operations or even extraterrestrial forces like the Draconians. On the topic of extraterrestrial technology, Campobasso explained that many ships are driven by the consciousness of their commanders, stating, "Their own DNA was actually put into the metal of the ship." He has concluded that such advanced technology is now in the hands of governments.
During the last half-hour, George featured an excerpt from his 5/26/21 interview with historian Richard Dolan on UFOs and disclosure.
