1. Morning Banter & Halloween Recap

[02:24]

• David (Raven) opens the show discussing technical details, staff dynamics, and a tongue-in-cheek jab at starting on time (“Unlike Nephilim Death Squad, this show does start on time… a line in the sand I drew.”)
• Brief recap of his family Halloween:
  • Did “trunk or treat” at his apartment complex, describing the event's mundane yet communal vibe.
  • Humorous detail: His son chose to dress as Captain America, which David ties into possession through costumes—“Everybody knows, you dress like what you want to be possessed by…”
  • Light gripes about the logistics of trunk or treating with a malfunctioning Elantra.

2. Mason’s Road Rage Confessions

[09:15 – 37:19]

Key Segment: [09:15 – 26:46]

• Mason, a spirited 20-year-old barista, takes over the mic to vent about her “problematic” road rage.
• Mason’s philosophy: Left lane is for speeding—not for “Sunday strollers.”
  • “If you’re in [the left lane] to go fast, you need to be going either speed limit or we’re going five miles over, minimum.” – Mason [10:26]
• Anecdotes range from verbal warnings by cops to a harrowing highway incident where a work van ran her into a ditch (“…He could have… almost flipped me, if I’m being honest.” [22:19])
• Raven and chat intervene, linking Mason’s anger to “family temperament” and pondering generational rage.

Hosts propose a solution:

• Raven calls on listeners (especially parents) to email words of wisdom for Mason's recurring segment: “Every other week or so, we’ll have Mason back and we will go through the emails from the parents who are upset with Mason’s behavior.” [24:13]

Notable Quotes:

• “This is a disaster waiting to happen, Mason. And I think that what we can do is…help this process along.” – Raven [25:00]
• “I know I have a problem. I’ve gotten multiple lectures from cops…” – Mason [24:04]

3. Conspiracy/Paranormal Corner

[27:54 – 36:21]

• Mason veers into a lighthearted detour by asking, “If you were a mermaid, what color would your tail be?”—leading Raven to launch into a biblical and mythological exploration of mermaids, chimeras, and creatures rumored to lurk in the depths of national parks.
• Discussion on chimeric creatures, missing people in National Parks (shoutout: David Paulides’ “Missing 411”), conspiracy rumors about “deep underground military bases,” and the evolving narrative of UFOs as ocean-dwellers rather than interplanetary visitors.
• Raven sharply refutes New Age “Galactic Federation” alien narratives, rooting them in a biblical fallen angel motif:
  • “They constantly change what they’re willing to present you…ascended Atlantean masters, Egyptian Ennead, Pleiadians…It’s all the same thing, it’s the fallen.” [34:32]

4. Dreamscapes & Spiritual Reflections (with Nancy)

[75:30 – 87:00]

• Nancy, a frequent contributor, shares her decades-long experience with lucid dreaming:
  • Lucid dreamers can sometimes interact with autonomous-seeming dream “characters” who have their own stories and objectives.
  • Some characters are friendly “guides,” others are hostile or dismissive.
  • Nancy describes consequences for “spiritual sins” in the dream world (“…there are spiritual repercussions in this dream realm.” [85:35])
• Raven pivots to his own recurring dreams involving seductive female figures (“succubi”), yielding to advice from Nancy and audience—either try lucid intervention or seek spiritual deliverance.
• A segment on practical advice for controlling one’s emotions and learning from the wisdom (and regrets) of others.

5. Managing Anger: Insights & Advice

[41:26+]

• Chat postulates on the root of anger. Raven and callers argue that happiness, as well as anger, are decisions (“It’s a muscle…Once you start finding things to upset you, the universe gives you more of them.”)
• Emily Pereka calls in (via voicemail) with a spiritual hack for diffusing rage:
  • “Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me, a sinner…when you put those words out of your mouth, you put yourself in the position to say, hey, I’m kind of a sack of shit…So maybe this meat sack in front of me should be given the same grace that I have been given by God Almighty.” [110:27]
• Extended open discussion on consciously letting go of anger, cycles of regret, intergenerational trauma, and finding contentment.

6. Listener Call-Ins (Parenting, Life Lessons & Safety)

A. Parenting & The ‘Skin in the Game’ Effect

[115:50+]

• Julio from Connecticut calls in to ask:
  • Do parents start looking down on the childless? Do worldviews and priorities shift?
• Raven’s reply: Perspective changes “drastically” after kids—what you tolerate, your views of public behavior, and your investment in future generations.
  • “Even just by virtue of being, like, if you’re the type of person where, like, I’m walking down the street…and I smell [weed], as somebody who used to smoke a lot of weed…with my kid, it’s like, yeah, sure… but… have some decency.” [121:16]

B. The “Conspiracy Mind”

• What’s the common thread among conspiracy-minded people?
  • Distrust? Not always.
  • Skepticism and spiritual openness? Usually.
  • “There’s probably a mixture of elements…belief in a higher power, a distrust or skepticism…but I don’t think it’s just one thing.” [124:41]

C. Preservation of Life – Medical Prep

[125:11+]

• Austin from North Carolina, a farmer and danger junkie, calls in to underscore the need for trauma preparedness:
  • “If you’ve got a way to make holes, you should probably carry a way to plug them. If you don’t have a tourniquet, you’re gay. That’s all.” [125:29]
• Advocates carrying trauma kits (tourniquet, QuikClot, etc.) and learning basic wound care: “The most dangerous thing you do is drive a car…the third leading cause of death is blood loss.” [128:48]
• Plugs Bear Independent and Refuge Medical as reputable sources.
• Raven notes: “Gun culture is focused on ‘how to take a life’—not enough on ‘how to preserve one.’”

7. Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Mason on Road Rage:

  • “...If you want to go on a Sunday stroll and be scratching your butt, get in the right lane or get off the road.” [11:09]
  • “I know I am. It is something I…like I said, I am working on it…I’ve gotten multiple lectures from cops.” [24:04]

• Raven on Post-Parenthood Perspective:

  • “Once you have a kid, I know that you want something good for that kid or there’s at least a higher likelihood…that you want to leave something better behind…” [122:48]

• Emily Paraka (voicemail on anger) [110:27]:

  • “Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me, a sinner… because when you put those words out of your mouth, you put yourself in the position to say, hey, I’m kind of a sack of shit.”

• Austin on Preparedness [125:47]:

  • “If you’ve got a way to make holes, you should probably carry a way to plug them…If you don’t have a tourniquet, you’re gay.”

• Raven on the “New Age” alien deception:

  • “They constantly change what they’re willing to present you…ascended Atlantean masters, Egyptian Ennead, Pleiadians…It’s all the same thing, it’s the fallen.” [34:32]

• On Lucid Dreaming (Nancy)

  • “Even though some of the dream characters might look at me funny… it’s my dream, I can make you disappear if I want.” [85:52]
