Episode Overview

Title: The Return of Red Hoodie | NDS Chronicles
Podcast: Nephilim Death Squad
Hosts: David L Corbo (TopLobsta), Matt (Co-host)
Date: April 1, 2026

This episode of NDS Chronicles is a classic “mailbag” style installment, where the Nephilim Death Squad crew (David a.k.a. Top Lobsta and Matt) read and riff on listener-submitted paranormal testimonies and dream accounts through their signature blend of Christian worldview, conspiracy commentary, irreverent humor, and homespun wisdom. The mix covers everything from wild spiritual dreams to direct demonic encounters, church subcultures, spiritual warfare, biblical ontologies, and recent odd happenings within their community. Amidst running banter and the occasional commercial/tech hiccup, the guys dive deep into spiritual meaning, tackle metaphysics, and keep their audience actively involved in the episode.

2. Listener Paranormal Testimonies & Dream Analysis (Mailbag)

A. Katie’s Werewolf Dream Timestamp: 11:17 – 20:22

  • Dream concludes: guilt at bloody victory, sunrise brings normalcy, reflection on the meaning (tie-in to Harry Potter/Star Wars, noting media overlap).
• The hosts reflect on dream meanings, spiritual warfare, and “dogman” lore: “Dog men, they ... have a spiritual effect and a physical effect. So in the spiritual realm, it’s like a crazy, combative situation ... manifests [here] as resentment and sadness.” (David, 20:29)

B. Jen Howard’s “Paranormy Chronicles” & Ontological Realization Timestamp: 23:36 – 46:44

• Jen details a turbulent childhood in a liberal “occult” environment and adult conversion to Christianity after direct supernatural experiences.

  • Central event: An “out-of-body” moment where God “spoke through [her] mouth,” forcing her to declare, “Because God is that being than which no greater can be conceived, so he must be real.” (44:11)
• Hosts reflect on the ontological argument for God, its philosophical roots, personal experience, and the limits of human conception in understanding the divine.
  • “Because God is that being than which no greater can be conceived, he must therefore exist in reality.” (Jen, 46:22)
  • “It’s a fool’s errand to even try to... like, the best we can do is hope we leave a good impression on whoever’s listening.” (Co-host, 47:51)

C. Brooke Perez’s Haunted Base Story Timestamp: 50:49 – 82:36

• Brooke describes culture shock from church to vampire-goth dating site, marrying a porn-addicted USAF airman, and living on a famously haunted Okinawa base.
  • Her dog brings her random “tokens”/aports (marbles, blueberries, etc.) apparently from nowhere.
  • A friend “invites” ghosts in. “My husband was all, pishaw [ghosts aren’t real].” (76:37)
  • Paranormal ramps up: “Within the week of Nerdo asking the ghost to basically come in, my house actively started picking up activity ... dogs started bringing me things ... started hearing footsteps.” (79:11)
  • A descent into personal crisis; divorce and redemption via a new, God-centered relationship: “I went from being a feminist ancient alien depressed incel to a God-fearing homeschooling mother of four (soon to be five!).” (82:36)

3. Meta-Commentary: Occult Trends, Spiritual Deception, & Biblical Worldview

Reviewing The Y Files: Goddess, Lost Scrolls, and End Times Deception Timestamp: 85:00 – 98:24

• Listener NW Scoundreous sends field notes after listening to a highly produced podcast (“Y Files”) episode about the “Yeshua Scroll,” allegedly an ancient Masonic artifact containing heretical messages:
  • “It’s okay to be gay; there is a divine feminine; there are aliens coming in 2026; Jesus wasn’t fully human and was rescued from the tomb by Mary Magdalene.” (94:03)
  • Hosts dissect dangers: ties to “great falling away,” New Age twists, divine feminine/Ishtar warnings; pop culture prepping for massive spiritual deception — “This flies in the face of everything our research shows.” (94:34)
  • Deep concern for how such narratives could “smash the rock” of faith: “That could easily set up for the great falling away and cause a lot of people to question their faith.” (100:33)

4. “Red Hoodie Guy” Returns — Neighborhood Spiritual Warfare

Timestamp: 102:34 – 114:20

• FJ, a listener, sends an evolving saga of his schizophrenic neighbor (Red Hoodie), his bouts with unseen entities, police welfare checks, and community tension.
  • “It was like watching two different people operate one body ... I told him he was a child of God, but that there are things out there working hard to keep him separated from God. And in that moment, he stepped back, looked into the sky with his hands folded together and shouted ‘Yes!’” (107:41)
  • Reflection on the difficulty of addressing real mental illness that may have a spiritual root; fear, pity, and a desire to reach the marginalized in his town.
  • Hosts highlight the complexities of confronting spiritual oppression outside and within the church: “You’d have more of a chance going around yourself with a Bible ... than getting the church to ... test the spirits.” (115:03)

5. Recurring Themes & Banter

• Dreams as Spiritual Battlegrounds: Multiple listeners recount dreams involving demonic/witch attacks, recurring nightmares, astral “missions,” and metaphysical battles, paralleled in hosts' own experiences and observations. Notable is the motif of being asked to “consent” or complete a task (e.g., “get me the Gatorade” in Joe’s recurring jarring astral sequence).
  • “...when I hit my teens ... the most memorable one happened like this. A bunch of my teammates were hanging out ... one guy asked for a Gatorade. What is going on?” (132:10, Joe)
  • “In the spiritual realm, sometimes you’re tricked into giving consent or agreeing to something you don’t fully understand.” (David, 145:54)
• Humor and Self-Deprecation:
  • On fans showing up to events: “Maybe it’s not so bad if it has buttons ... I know this is selfish, but shower.” (07:04)
  • Philosophical humility: “I’m dumb and it’s super hard for me to understand this thing. That’s why I stick with what Jesus says.” (David, 26:04)
  • Recurrent riffing on Gatorade flavors as spiritual objects sought by dream entities.
