In episode 724: The Liminal Spaces, Tony sits down with Vicki Joy Anderson and Joel Thomas to unravel the mysteries of portals, astral abductions, and the unseen war waged in the supernatural realm. From secret experiments and cube-shaped gateways to encounters with entities that manipulate reality itself, this episode pushes the limits of what we think we know. But the stakes are far higher than just curiosity—this battle isn’t just theoretical. It’s real, it’s personal, and it’s happening now. Are you prepared for the war you can’t see?

Matt comes on the show to share about his time as a child living in his mother's haunted house. As time went on he experienced your typical haunting noises to seeing poltergeist activity happen more than one would like. But it all culminated to an experience that was unexpected and petrifying when an unnatural head appeared outside of his room and showed him more attention than he could handle.

In episode 723: Aliens, Bigfoot, and Secrets Beneath The Lake, Matt takes us deep into the shadowed heart of California’s wilderness, where the line between reality and myth blurs. A creature’s arm tears through the brush, a canoe is lifted by something ancient beneath the water, and local lore whispers of portals and supernatural guardians. Matt’s stories don’t just stem from his own encounters, they’re woven into a family legacy of UFO sightings, abductions, and dark mysteries hidden in plain sight. As the wilderness closes in, the question isn’t what’s real, but whether you’re ready to believe it.

In episode 721: A Night In The Upside Down, Stacie recounts an eerie night where she and her friends ventured into a mysterious realm. What began as an ordinary outing to a beach turned into a surreal encounter with UFO-like ships, vibrating earth, and strange military-like figures that defied human characteristics. Stacie describes their interaction with a reptilian entity that conveyed haunting truths through a non-verbal, almost telepathic exchange. The group experienced sensations of detachment, missing time, and a profound shift in reality that left their friendships shattered and their lives changed forever. Stacie shares the chilling details of her journey into the unexplained, her confrontation with dark forces, and the extraordinary truths she uncovered about humanity’s hidden connections to these entities.

In episode 720: The Battle For Ufology, filmmaker Darcy Weir takes us behind the scenes of his experience at the historic U.S. congressional UFO hearing. As one of the last attendees allowed inside, Darcy witnessed discussions about hybrid programs, reverse-engineering alien technology, and underwater bases tied to UFO lore. Darcy also dives into experiencers suffering radiation sickness from UAP encounters, raising questions about the phenomenon’s impact on human health. He then shares personal anecdotes, brushes with UFO legends, and his thoughts on the slow path of disclosure. This episode unravels the mysteries surrounding UAPs and their intersection with science, government, and the unknown.

In episode 719: Guardians of Utah's Hidden Nephilim Tomb, Tony is joined by Justin and Jay from the Cryptids of the Corn podcast and Joel from The Free The Rabbits Podcast. Fresh off an extraordinary in-studio interview with a figure who might just be a living Nephilim, they explore mind-bending tales of interdimensional portals, Bigfoot sightings, and inexplicable connections to nature. Could these encounters be evidence of ancient bloodlines or something even more profound? From mysterious orbs dancing in the Appalachian wilderness to stories of supernatural strength and whispered interactions with the animal kingdom, this episode is a wild ride through the blurred boundaries of myth and reality.
