Out of the Average

This week, we are bringing a special update! For reference, check out Past Lives Part One before you jump into this one for a little more background knowledge and information. Meghan talks about her first experience ever doing a past life regression (literally the day before recording!) and Allison stays on brand by expressing how pleased she was with channeling a full past life journey on her own (although most of the details will remain unknown). What do you think Meghan and Allison experienced in their past lives? Are you curious about doing your own past life regression now? Enjoy the update! Also stay until the end if you want to hear a small blooper haha

"Here come the Men In Black"....Trust us, it's stuck in our heads too. This week on O.O.T.A. Meg jumps into one of her favorite alien related conspiracies: the Men In Black. Though we do mention Will Smith a number of times (5 to be exact), this episode isn't about the 1997 movie, but rather an introductory dive into the conspiracy itself. Who are the men in black? Take a listen to find out.

This week, we bring you our strong opinions and thoughts on the documentary, Tickled (2016) and its relation on a subplot in Riverdale. Tickled is a 2016 documentary brought to us by David Farrier and Dylan Reeve, who traveled to the United States from New Zealand in pursuit of learning more about the United States Extreme Tickling Competitions. If you haven't seen this season of Riverdale,  be warned you might be slightly spoiled, but for our non-Riverdale watchers, you do not need to have any background knowledge to follow along. 

Warning: This episode is a little darker in terms of its subject - we speak briefly about what is covered in the doc and how these main media "tickling rings" are used to manipulate the underprivileged as well as how they use derogatory language around homosexuality (none of which is used or said in the recording of this podcast).

We have a short and sweet (and weird) bonus episode for you guys this week! Allison brings us an update from someone close to the heart of The Secret Treasure Hunt which we talked about in Episode 11. Then Meghan gets into a pretty odd recurring incident that's been happening in her attic. Take a listen if you're in deep with our treasure hunting tales or if you want to hear about Meghan's starchy surprise. We'll be back next week with a full episode! 

Recorded and Edited by Meghan Pavlovsky and Allison Varca. Music by Michael Vontas.

A one million dollar treasure (two million now?) has been found in the Rocky Mountains earlier this month. Meghan dishes about the newly finished treasure hunt that was first sparked by a man's autobiography in 2010. Then Allison talks about an intricate treasure hunt that began all the way back in the 1980's that has twelve boxes scattered and hidden across the United States and Canada - only three of them have been found. Anyone itching to find some treasure?

A google search gone wrong: Allison meant to look up the dream symbolism of a beautiful black and white horse, but instead, it sent her on a nosedive into creepy pictures of mythological horse creatures — which brings you this bonus episode! We present to you: the Nuckelavee, the most nightmarish horse demon of Orcadian Mythology, and La Sihuanaba, the alluring dame of Mexican and Central American mythologies. Enjoy Friends!

After a brief hiatus, we are back and kicking with a new episode. This week, we first chat about a house in New Jersey that is protected by a mysterious "Watcher" who threatens the new buyers with handwritten letters and no track record to who it could be. Then, we dive into the odd urban legend of the Black-Eyed Kids (B.E.K).
