Listener Testimonies

Cody Gringham's Sleep Paralysis Experience

One of the standout stories comes from a listener named Cody Gringham, who shares his harrowing experience with sleep paralysis and its profound impact on his spiritual journey.

• Initial Experience: Cody recounts experiencing his first sleep paralysis during high school, where he felt an overpowering sense of dread and encountered a sinister presence.

  Cody [10:27]: "The rabbit hole led me deep into the world of conspiracies. And before I knew it, I was rethinking everything I thought I knew, including my belief in God."

• Spiritual Awakening: After multiple encounters with sleep paralysis, Cody began searching for spiritual solace. He describes a pivotal night where he prayed to Jesus Christ during an episode, leading to an immediate cessation of the terrifying presence.

  Cody [37:22]: "The moment that is burned into my memory forever is when I said the word Jesus Christ. Because the instant those words left my lips, it was gone completely instantly, like someone flipped a switch."

• Impact on Belief: This experience solidified Cody's belief in God, contrasting his earlier atheistic stance and highlighting the intersection of paranormal experiences and spirituality.

  Cody [37:29]: "That experience solidified my belief in God. I've always been someone who needs firsthand experience to truly believe in something, and this was undeniable."

Jabrowski's Orb Sightings and CE5 Encounters

Another compelling submission is from a listener named Jabrowski, who details his sightings of mysterious orbs and subsequent encounters that verge on the supernatural.

• Orb Sightings: Jabrowski describes observing bright orbs in the sky, their unexplained movements, and patterns that defy conventional explanations.

  Jabrowski [49:32]: "I noticed a very bright star that looked out of place... within five seconds, it fades into black and it's gone."

• CE5 Activities: He touches upon his involvement with CE5 (Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind) activities, attempting to establish communication with extraterrestrial entities, which seemingly led to more intense paranormal experiences.

  Jabrowski [51:25]: "The CE5 will end in things that are, like, poltergeist activity, and they'll end in, like, demonic encounters, and... alien abduction experiences."

• Personal Trauma: His account culminates in a traumatic incident where his actions lead to arson, questioning the reliability of his memories and experiences.

  Jabrowski [67:07]: "I ended up admitting to committing the arsons after several hours of being interrogated and spent the next four years in prison."

Cheryl and Dakota's Short Submissions

The hosts also address shorter submissions from listeners like Cheryl and Dakota, who express discomfort with the podcast's language despite their interest in its paranormal themes.

• Cheryl's Feedback:

  Cheryl [94:39]: "I happen to find your show and was happy to listen until the F bomb and other curses... I can't deal with the language."

• Dakota's Story:

  Dakota shares a fragmented account of personal experiences intertwined with drug use and supernatural phenomena, though parts of his story remain incomplete.

  Dakota [93:25]: "But it's hard to think that as I reflect back on those times. During this time, I slept in a den room that was at the back of the house."

Audience Interaction and Demographics

TopLobsta and Raven engage in candid discussions about their audience demographics, revealing that approximately 17% of their listeners are women. They express surprise and disbelief at the significant female listenership, addressing comments and feedback from listeners like Cheryl and Dakota with a mix of humor and frustration.

Top [57:09]: "One fifth of our audience is women. And I posted that. Yes. The other day I posted it on Twitter and I was like, these women are crazy. Like, these women in particular."

The hosts also grapple with balancing authentic content with audience sensitivities, debating the inclusion of explicit language and its impact on different listener groups.

David [97:36]: "But if you're like me, then you would feel the same way. You go, oh, this is good content. I want to listen to it in that way."

Controversial Content and Host Commentary

Throughout the episode, Top and David maintain a raw and unfiltered tone, often using derogatory language to express their disdain for negative feedback and certain listener behaviors.

  David [101:07]: "They want to stop beating their ass. Like, tie one hand behind your back. This is an unfair fight."

• On Language Use:

  Top [94:39]: "On Philander, I don't know. And other curses started to consume the conversation. I listened to Blurry Creatures and we know prophecy watchers, etc. I don't even know the rest of those shows. Love the subjects and your podcast piqued my interest. Sorry to say I can't deal with the language. Even though I like your subjects. Respectfully, Cheryl."
