TOFOP

The final instalment from the North East Australia Paranormal Society is a doozy. Inspired by a real-life Ghostbusters scenario, Charlie and Ben go on a uniquely Australian adventure into some strange happenings at Cockatoo Island. An American ghost hunter becomes involved to search for the answers and the result takes more than one unexpected twist. Also, Ashley from Norway calls in to discuss his personal experience in a haunted granny flat.

The murky origins of the heroes in a half shell. Also, what could TOFOP pitch to be featured at South by South-West? It turns out, nothing. The pair try to convince each other that 'nothing' is indeed 'something' and the result is an existential tailspin. Charlie wonders about opportunities lost, Wil reassures him that next year will be better. But the reality is big-dicked turtles could be as good as it gets.

NEAPS (North East Australian Paranormal Society) is in session with Ben McLeay and Charlie Clausen and the topic today: is there life outside of Earth? The pair analyse the mass UFO siting that happened in Melbourne in 1966. The incident, known as the Westall UFO, took place at a school and many vividly remember what they saw. But not every recount adds up. Is there more to the story? Always. Also, a UFO researcher with lived experience sits down to reveal all.

This episode is dedicated to our Patreon supporter, Matt. Matt has written in multiple times over the years, but for various reasons, Charlie and Wil have never responded. In this episode, we make it up to Matt and devote the entire episode to various questions/comments he's made throughout his TOFOP experience. Thanks for listening Matt and we hope this ep makes it up to you.

The second meeting of NEAPS (North East Australian Paranormal Society) is called into session as Ben and Charlie turn their attention to Australia's version of Bigfoot, the Yowie. The discussion leads to a wider discussion around cryptozoology and whether the idea of a giant, hairy gorilla living in the woods is even that interesting. Charlie then tells Ben about Yowie sighting that occurred in Queensland in the late '70s, involving a future politician and school cover up. Listener Emily returns to the show to talk about the ghost she saw at her parents home.

A TOFOP rollercoaster. Wil and Charlie skip from back fat to AI, 'cucking' to the Perfect Match robot, ending on 90s punk and The Warped Tour.

Introducing The Unexplained Explained, a new series on TOFOP with Friends. Across each of the four episodes, Charlie Clausen is joined by writer, performer, and podcaster, Ben McLeay. Luckily, the Brisbane-based Boonta Vista podcast host also happens to be the largest private collector of paranormal literature. Together they form NEAPS: the North-East Australia Paranormal Society. In episode one, the pair tackle one of Australia's most sensational mysteries: the poltergeist of Humpty Doo. You don't have to believe, but you do need to listen.

Charlie wants to discuss the new Arnold Schwarzenegger doco but the hosts get distracted by the potato scallops vs potato cakes debate. This leads to a deeper reflection about how someone's perspective can change. Turns out people can change. Eventually, Charlie gets his Arnie chat which leads to the ethics of steroids, and why wrestlers aren't meant to be juicing. Wil reveals that "The muscles (on Henry Cavill's) Superman are literally for show".
