Podcast: Nephilim Death Squad
Hosts: TopLobsta, David Lee Corbo (The Radio Raven), Matt
Date: November 21, 2025

Episode Overview

In this lively and offbeat edition of NDS Chronicles, the Nephilim Death Squad crew—TopLobsta, Raven, and Matt—gather to read listener-submitted supernatural and paranormal stories, unraveling them through a biblical and conspiratorial lens. The crew blends schizo testimonies, skeptical banter, inside jokes, musings on anxiety, religious undertones, and a distinct DIY-podcast energy, exploring everything from haunted basements to ancestral vampiric vibes. The episode is both a showcase of the unpredictable NDS community and an open platform for wild, confessional storytelling.

Key Discussion Points & Segments

1. Opening Bants & Community Engagement

• Timestamp: [03:13]-[06:24]
• Raven welcomes listeners and invites them to submit "schizophrenic paranormal testimony" for future Chronicles.
• Playful banter sets the scene: Matt's role fluctuates between a reluctant participant and a show skeptic.
• Quote:
  "Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to another episode of NDS Chronicles, the show where we read your schizophrenic paranormal testimony." – Raven (03:17)
• Shouts to Patreon supporters and discussion of exclusive merch and ways to engage more deeply with the squad (designed to both mock and encourage audience participation).

2. Reading and Analyzing Listener Testimonies

Pandafly’s Story – Demons, Haunted Houses, Family Dysfunction

• Timestamps: [09:13]–[15:02] (start and early context); [16:00]–[41:36] (full story development); continued throughout episode.
• Summary: Pandafly recounts a lifetime of uncanny and disturbing experiences:
  • Recurring childhood nightmare of demons oozing from an endless bathroom cabinet, possibly linked to proximity to a cemetery.
  • (Later moves) A basement with an unnerving under-the-stairs chamber, watched-feeling, malfunctioning lights, a dog refusing to enter.
  • Mysterious scratching and footsteps that persist even as daily life continues.
  • A demonic face flashing on a Limewire-era computer, spiraling into depression and self-harm (framed as an unconscious "blood sacrifice").
  • Eventual resolution: moving out, family later confirms sinister feelings, and the house’s next occupant dies by suicide soon after moving in.
• Hosts alternate between skepticism, gallows humor, and empathy; they compare elements to biblical narratives; TopLobsta and Raven both see resonance with their childhood fears.
• Notable skepticism and tangents from Matt: "What are you talking about? Anyway, guys, can we send one coffee bean to every Patreon member?" (05:19)
• The squad discusses spiritual warfare, mental health, and generational trauma.
• Quote:
  "For the life of me, I can't even try to picture how these demons look ... only that I know it is vivid." – Reader (Pandafly), read by Raven (16:22) "As my sister and I got older ... we would eventually spend the majority of our time in this basement to be away from our parents upstairs." – Raven (27:52)

Skepticism vs. Belief

• [28:25], [31:54], [35:29]
• Matt maintains a critical, even dismissive posture about some phenomena—suggesting rodents for sounds, or suggesting poor living conditions:
  "It sounds like maybe it's a little hood spot, dude. And maybe you have rats, like, in the ceiling." – Matt (31:40)
• TopLobsta and Raven often push for a suspension of disbelief, seeing value in exploring the supernatural frame:
  "See, the problem, Matt, is that when you come into this show, NDS Chronicles, we come in with an air of belief..." – TopLobsta (26:12)

Demonic Entity Story Climax

• [59:56]-[62:39]
• Classic supernatural trope: Pandafly feels her foot pulled down the bed – an event that drives the hosts (and Mason) to recount their own night terrors, pet anxieties, and spiritual conclusions.
• Quote:
  "My foot gets pulled ... I was pulled so far down my bed that my head left my pillow. And what do I do, Top? Nothing." – As read by Raven (59:56)

Paranormal Event – The Aztec Face

• [41:45]-[44:12]
• A detail that strikes both Raven and Matt as especially chilling: the appearance of an ancient Aztec/Mayan “little G god” face on a computer screen just before shutdown.
• Quote:
  "In an instant, a demonic face took up the entire screen, edge to edge ... and it was like an ancient Aztec Mayan little G God depiction." – Raven (42:17)

3. The Chuck Chronicles

Chuck’s Testimony – Handshake from the Beyond

• [96:01]-[119:12]
• Chuck from Guam shares two key early-life experiences:
  1. A chilling “bro handshake” from an unseen, cold hand pulling him under the bed while at his grandparents’ house.
  2. Hearing a non-human, subwoofer-deep voice call his name while dozing—leaving him with a conviction that it was supernatural (possibly God).
  3. A classic ghost sighting: Chuck and cousin see Aunt Betty, who had just self-deleted the day before.
• Matt is especially respectful and warm regarding Chuck’s stories and reputation, framing him as a seasoned, “rad dude” and perhaps even a mysterious “vampire” living many lifetimes.
• Closing speculation: Is Chuck a military handler, a grim reaper, or just a cornerstone of the NDS community?
• Quote:
  "For sure, a right hand grabbed my hand in a bro shake fashion and then pulled my arm down towards the underneath of the bed." – Matt, reading Chuck (105:02)
  "I heard a deep voice call me. It was not human ... and had the effect that I later felt when experiencing the bass on my son’s subwoofer." – Matt/Chuck (108:45)

4. Community Mailbag – Am I the Female Toad?

• [81:00]-[94:36]
• The squad reads a letter from Zhonya, a Christian woman in South Africa, wondering if she's the "female Toad" (referring to previous guest Toad’s comically miserable/lovable character).
• They contrast Western and South African culture, touch on loneliness, anxiety, and tease the idea of “matching” Zhonya with Toad.
• Segment demonstrates the NDS audience’s blend of humor, vulnerability, and oddity.
• Quote:
  “Looking at all the similarities, I couldn’t help but ask myself, am I the female Toad?” – Raven, reading Zhonya (82:32)

5. Intra-Show Banter & Inside Culture

• Throughout.
• The show is punctuated with recurring jokes about TopLobsta’s grandma, debate over merch, coffee shop operations, ADHD, and (often) Mason’s customer service misadventures.
• Candid debates about biblical stories, who’s really a Christian, skepticism of psychological labels and diagnoses.
• Discussion of the Denver International Airport conspiracies and their possible occult symbolism ([76:10]-[77:56]).
• Quote:
  "These are the bones of the nephilim. These are the giant bones. As a matter of fact, they might even be dragon bones." – TopLobsta, re: dinosaur fossils (35:33)

Notable Quotes and Moments

• "What are you talking about? The word of God is made to read. It's not made to be an idol. Like a little statue of Jesus isn't made to be an idol." – Matt (10:17)
• "I think that’s possible. Cornier people reading emails from probably better." – Raven, riffing about alternate-universe NDS podcasts (06:30)
• "As long as you can read it." – Matt, on the acceptability of small Bibles (10:14)
• "But you don't even talk about it … because there's nothing to do about it, right?" – Raven, on why strange events are rarely discussed (45:03)
• "I don't think anybody asked that." – Raven, when Matt asks if anyone in the chat wondered if the storyteller was a Christian (61:22)
• "Don't you think that Pandafly knows the difference between rats and demons?" – Raven (31:55)
• "Shout out Panda... She's awesome." – The team, on Pandafly’s continued engagement (79:08)

Episode Tone & Atmosphere

• Highly conversational and irreverent, moving fluidly between sincere listener rapport, dark humor, biblical asides, and in-group mockery.
• The hosts willingly derail for inside jokes, audience interaction, and tangents about community members—channeling both late-night radio and cozy group-chat vibes.
• Emotional undercurrents: compassion for listeners facing trauma or mental health struggles, intermingled with a conspiratorial playfulness—a trademark of the NDS brand.

Outro

The crew closes with plans for future testimonies and an implicit invitation for more stories, with an undercurrent of gratitude for their eclectic community. The hosts’ camaraderie and the show’s offbeat, “theological X-Files” personality shine throughout.

Useful for newcomers:
This episode is a quintessential NDS variety: a mix of crowd-sourced supernatural stories, frank discussion of belief and doubt, community-building through self-deprecation, and conspiracy-adjacent theorizing—all filtered through irreverent biblical and pop-cultural banter.
