Nephilim Death Squad — The Raven: 002 - Monster

Host: TopLobsta Productions (David Corbo)
Guest/Co-host: Nancy
Date: November 4, 2025

Episode Overview

This lively episode of The Raven branches out from the Nephilim Death Squad’s usual biblical conspiracy territory to dive deep into true crime, the cultural fascination with serial killers, and current conspiracy-fueled internet phenomena. Host David Corbo and co-host Nancy explore the Netflix series "Monster" (the Ed Gein story), women’s obsession with serial killers, and layer in discussions about recent viral topics: 3i Atlas and Avi Loeb’s possible alien signals, the intersection of biblical cosmology with modern UFO lore, and reflections from the show’s enthusiastic calling community.
The tone is conversational, raucous, irreverent, and at times darkly comedic, with the hosts musing on pop culture, faith, and the pitfalls of conspiracy media.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Women and the Serial Killer Obsession (09:22–23:24)

• Netflix's "Monster" and Ed Gein: The hosts review and critique the Netflix miniseries about serial killer Ed Gein – the so-called "grandfather of serial killers." Corbo notes that despite the real Ed Gein being unattractive, top-tier actors known for their looks are cast as these figures to play into women's interest.
  • “So they cast him as Dahmer or Bundy, one of the two. And I go, well, that's weird. Why would you do that? Why would you cast this guy who women are... Because I was already aware of this phenomenon.” (15:25, David Corbo)
• Three-Stage ‘Pokemon’ Evolution Analogy for Women’s True Crime Fascination:
  • Murder Mystery Girl: The entry point; casual interest in true crime.
  • Horror Girly: Evolves into a fascination with horror films and slasher icons.
  • Serial Killer Groupies: Crosses over into women who develop attractions or obsessions with real serial killers (some sending them love letters).
  • “It starts murder mystery horror films and then just raw dog and serial killer content.” (17:48, David)
• Pop Psychological Motives: Nancy reflects on the psychological intrigue, not attraction:
  • "Yeah, just fascinating. There wasn't like any attraction to them, but just fascinating. I guess it's like the psychology of..." (19:02, Nancy)
  • David riffs: “If the serial killers have mommy issues, then the murder mommies have daddy issues.” (20:27)
• True Crime, Copycats & Cultural Impact:
  • Discusses how media coverage and movies like those inspired by Ed Gein (e.g., "Texas Chainsaw Massacre") fuel real-life copycats.
  • Angst over the glamorization and “redemption arc” trope is dissected. Netflix’s creative embellishments (e.g., a proud, approving ghost-mother) are sharply criticized.
  • Quote: "They should have just pulled the plug there. Instead, they went, and his mom's ethereal, you know, spiritual body shows up and tells him that she's proud of him. And then everybody dances in a graveyard." (34:04)

2. Conspiracies, 3i Atlas, and Avi Loeb (38:20–53:48)

• Avi Loeb’s Viral Moment & Cosmic Signals:
  • Discussion of astronomer Avi Loeb’s claims on the Joe Rogan podcast regarding 3i Atlas (a comet/asteroid) and its “mysterious signals,” possible alien origins, and government opaqueness.
  • "Three Eye Atlas is apparently blapping us with the same frequency [as SETI’s cosmic hailing signals]. So. Interesting, interesting, interesting.” (40:30, David)
  • Loeb's narration is both mocked (“I am a Jew,” David jokes, mocking Loeb's scientist approach) and scrutinized for supposed “sneakiness.”
• Skepticism Toward Space Sciences and Government Narratives:
  • Both hosts express doubts about mainstream narratives about comets, government transparency, and knock-on effects (like collective anxiety and cult-like internet chatter).
  • "All the new age theosophy kind of Blavatsky crap all points to 2025 as being, like, this big alien moment." (45:06, David)
• JD Vance on Aliens, Demons, and Biblical Lenses:
  • Quick review of a viral JD Vance clip in which the senator muses about UFOs as possible fallen angels or supernatural forces, dovetailing with the show’s core themes.
  • "If another person sees an alien, maybe I see an angel or a demon. So I'm a big believer that there are spiritual forces working on the physical world." (55:34, JD Vance, quoted by David)

3. Serial Killer "Content" and the Female Murderer Tier List (71:43–84:54)

• Listener-Submitted Serial Killer Rankings:
  • Segment features a long read-through and commentary of the “top female serial killers” (submitted via social media). Both hosts – especially Nancy – react in horror and dark amusement to accounts of murder by poison, insurance scams, and notorious cases like Aileen Wuornos (“Monster”).
  • "I do like. And you know I don't like a serial killer, but you know, if I had to pick one, a luchador serial killer is. It's probably up there." (72:06, David)
• Nancy’s Picks – The Darkest Cases:
  • Nods to Albert Fish, a particularly depraved killer with self-mutilation tendencies—“jammed needles in his taint”—evoking disgust and why the podcast often wanders into the macabre.

4. Listener Calls & Community Building (97:32–159:23)

• Call-ins and Voicemail Themes:
  • Many listeners express gratitude for the show’s positive impact on their spiritual and intellectual journeys. Several come from libertarian or conspiracy backgrounds and find themselves now embracing Christianity.
  • "My road to through to Christianity has kind of followed yours, and Tops has been pretty bizarre... Gay libertarian conspiracy to Christ, man. It all leads the same way." (123:17, Matt from Oklahoma)
• Discussions on Faith, Politics, and Making a Positive Difference:
  • Callers share struggles with leaving behind political movements (notably the "libertarian to Christ pipeline") to focus on their families, faith, and direct action.
  • “I just. I love it. I love what you guys do. I love everything about it.... at this point, I'm just focusing on my family, my home, my faith, trying to be a good leader to my children.... All that politics is out the window.” (124:14, Matt)
• Psychology of Killers and Redemption:
  • Thoughtful takes from former Corrections staff (FJ Fool) about high-profile murderers like the Menendez brothers, with consideration given to trauma as a driver for violence.
  • "I have a lot of sympathy for murderers who became that way because they were traumatized. This doesn't... alleviate them of the blame, but it's certainly something to consider. You know, they're. They're children of God, too, you know." (129:22, FJ Fool)
• Cosmology, Flat Earth, and Simulation Theories:
  • Callers raise questions on how biblical flat earth cosmology squares with current space anomalies claims, suggesting that both NASA and modern science are faith-based and suspect.
  • Wry skepticism abounds: “Space increasingly feels fake and gay, but the spiritual realm seems to be the real answer for these things." (146:16, David)

5. Meta-Discussion: Podcasts, Growth, and "Selling Out" (118:18–162:54)

• Inside Podcasting:
  • David reflects on rapid YouTube growth, Rumble’s suspicious engagement statistics (bot speculation), and the fine line between engaging content and “selling out.”
• Community Ethics:
  • Both hosts pledge not to allow sponsorship to influence content or compromise authenticity—"allowing your speech to be controlled" (161:31, Nancy).
  • Example: “If we ever got money from somebody and they were saying, you can't say a thing, we would immediately say, go yourself. There's no way we would do that.” (161:45, David)

Episode Tone & Takeaways

The Raven: 002 – Monster is an irreverent, freewheeling podcast episode that handles dark cultural obsessions with both humor and gravity. Corbo and Nancy balance critique, audience inclusion, and personal stories to insightfully probe why society is so drawn to the morbid, and how conspiratorial thinking can lead toward or away from faith. Community engagement, unfiltered speech, and a consistent emphasis on personal responsibility—and the dangers of losing one’s soul to sensationalism—make this more than just another true crime or conspiracy chat.
