Hosts: TopLobsta & Raven (David Lee Corbo)
Date: August 19, 2025

Episode Overview

In this wide-ranging and irreverent installment of the NDS Chronicles, hosts TopLobsta and Raven dive into audience-submitted paranormal stories, blending raw humor and philosophical curiosity with a conspiratorial, biblically-tinged lens. The show covers everything from haunted childhood homes and supernatural sleep paralysis to strange neighborhood encounters and the Gates educational program conspiracy. Regular producer Nancy steps into the spotlight, while the lively chat and a parade of unique guests (and their pet demons) fill out the episode.

Themes include:

• Audience paranormal testimonies (with live reading and riffing)
• Childhood supernatural experiences
• Sleep paralysis and the "old hag"/sprawl phenomenon
• Demonic oppression vs. mental illness
• Urban legends, sensory illusions, and the power of suggestion
• Community dynamics among “Dangerous retards” (the hosts’ phrase)
• Biblical frameworks for understanding the supernatural
• High-octane, boundary-testing banter

Key Segments and Discussion Points

1. Welcome & Patreon Housekeeping (00:00–06:00)

• Hosts set the comic tone: Raven introduces himself as “the Raven,” TopLobsta as "the father of disinformation."
• New Producer: Nancy joins, with playful banter about her dark internet search habits and cool, "possibly murderous" energy.
• Patreon plugs & live audience interactions: The hosts highlight Tiers, referencing “Daddy Milkis” (top-tier supporter), and tease exclusive content beyond the paywall.
• Quote:
  • “The amount of shots that we have is an indicator of each new tax bracket that we enter.” — Raven (02:31)

2. Community Origin Stories (03:35–05:09)

• Nancy shares she found NDS via Jerry Marzinski.
• Raven: “You embedded yourself deeply into the community of Dangerous retards. Is that correct?”—Nancy: “That is correct.” (03:37–04:08)

3. Submission: Haunted House & Bloody Mary (“Daddy Milkis” Story)

(06:00–30:00)

• Setting:

  • Viewer “Milkis Dogus” shares stories and old photos of his childhood home, built in 1900s, adjacent to a cemetery with weird “oil rigs” or “strange apparatuses.”
  • Early YouTube-era urban legends: the Bloody Mary mirror ritual.

• Paranormal Incidents:

  • Milkis describes seeing a white, ambient “head” above a window, sparking discussion of optical illusions and mirror demons.
    • “It’s not about saying Bloody Mary in the mirror as much as it’s about staring at yourself with unbroken eye contact in a dark room lit only by candlelight.” — Raven (07:42)
    • Raven discusses “ambient” as “existing or present on all sides, encompassing.” (15:38)
  • Family experiences:
    • Milkis’ autistic sister Kenzie reportedly played with an invisible companion (“Morgan”).
    • Mother’s Facebook posts describe ghostly presences, door rattling, “spirit” audio, and a heavy, sulfurous atmosphere.
    • “I woke up crying. You could feel the heaviness in the house. I felt it for days after.” (25:15)
  • Amateur ghosthunters provide EMF readings, take orb photos, and burning sage.
    • “You're just allowing these guys in your home to stir up the demons and then guess what? They just go home.” — Raven (22:19)

• Analysis:

  • Discusses possible Nephilim-sized architecture (“8-10ft tall windows”), haunted plumbing under cemetery, “portal in bathroom,” Biblical connections to water and spiritual forces.
  • Resolution: Family moves across from a church; “mom became a Christian,” and phenomena stop.

4. Submission Update: The “Red Hoodie” Neighbor Saga (30:31–58:40)

• Recap:
  • “FJ Fool” recounts living beside a schizophrenic neighbor (“Red Hoodie”) whose delusions include warriors in his yard, odd hours gardening/rituals.
  • Red Hoodie requests wife’s number, claims police are coming for a “job.” Suspenseful and vaguely menacing.
  • Quote:
    • “Woohoo. Hey, hey, let's dance… You looking for a companion?” — Red Hoodie (33:34)
  • Intervention:
    • FJ Fool calls Behavioral Health (and then police); neighbor is picked up and apparently held for “possession of a meth pipe he’d ‘found’.”
  • Hosts’ analysis:
    • Discourses on the gap between demonic oppression and mental illness treatment.
      • “Those are your two options. Inundated by demons or zombie.” — Raven (57:39)
    • Sleep paralysis, supernatural voices giving accurate time (“Did I just hear 2 o’clock?”) as evidence of eerie precognition.
  • Advice to Caller:
    • “I hope you appreciated this quick update. Peace." — F.J. fool (61:56)
    • “Chronicles.nds@gmail. We’re not here to help. Disclaimer: we’re here to exploit [your stories].” — TopLobsta (62:25)

5. Submission: The GATES Program, Bums, and a Demon Eyes Encounter (70:25–96:44)

• From “Rip” (Chris):
  • Reminiscing about Palo Alto, proximity to Stanford’s SRI (Stanford Research Institute), and being funneled through “GATES” testing (possibly implying occult/psychic research via childhood aptitude testing).
  • Childhood memories: “playing cards backward,” solving blocks, “advanced then dumb-dumb classes in one semester.”
  • Code-switching: The story is told with a distinctive, urban edge, blending humor, slang, and candor.
  • Supernatural Encounter:
    • Unnamed “bum” with orange-glowing, inhuman eyes—“like a traffic light”—crosses streets with eyes closed, is avoided by all, eventually stares down the narrator and a friend, emitting beams of “red and orange light.”
    • Aftermath: Spect, the friend, is killed days later at a party brawl.
    • Hosts riff: Interpretation as possible “demon possession,” warnings about ignoring “uncanny valley” experiences.
    • Quote:
      • “Brothers, there are beams of orange and red lights just piercing the night, and we got to walk by this mother...” (92:04)

6. Submission: Sprawl – The Takedown by the Old Hag (98:25–120:29)

• From Jake:
  • Personal story of sleep paralysis (or supernatural assault) in a California roadside hotel room (“Mediocre Eastern”).
  • Experiences a “sprawl”—wrestling style hold—by an invisible, cold-skinned woman, under the classic “old hag” archetype.
    • “Two arms suddenly slide under my body... lying their chest on my back as I grabbed the back of their arms and triceps.” — Jake (107:06)
  • Escape described with vivid wrestler’s technique: shoot and topple, “She is gone.”
  • Immediate fear and prayer follow, but no further incident. Footnotes reference “old hag syndrome” as folkloric reality.
  • Hosts’ take:
    • Entertaining breakdown of wrestling physics; advice (“If she spun on him... she’d have blapped him up, take his back”), and dark humor about battling supernatural attackers.

7. Episode Wind Down & Banter

(through 122:00)

• Producer chaos, live chat engagement, technical difficulties as Nancy disconnects.
• NDS community inside jokes, offhand commentary on music albums, religion, and “exploiting stories.”
• Show closes with the show’s signature blend of cynical warmth and wild irreverence.
