WTF IS ANYTHING?
Hosted by Disco · EN
Consciousness. Psychedelics. Quantum physics. UAPs. God. Reality. Telepathy. Near Death Experiences. Ancestors. Simulation theory. For real though, wtf is anything?
Is consciousness produced by the brain, or picked up by it? What do near-death experiences actually tell us? Why is everyone suddenly a seeker? Can two people who've read too much and believe too little still get somewhere real?
WTF is anything? is a podcast hosted by Zach and Michelle Lamb, co-founders of Disco. Their episodes center conversations with guests around consciousness, culture, science & the woo.
Disco is a company, community and experience that explores the unknown phenomena of existence.

Part Two: UAP, Disclosure & The Phenomenon w/ Will Holland
Jun 2401:09:12Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailWill Holland on Non-Human Intelligence, Experiencers & the Spirituality of Contact (Pt. 2)If Part 1 laid the groundwork — terminology, theories, the deep state — Part 2 is where it gets gloriously strange. Will Holland takes us past the hangar-and-craft material into the human accounts: the experiencers, the abductees, and the people who say something followed them home.We get into the hitchhiker effect and why contact so often refuses to stay a single event. Will walks us through the stories he can't shake — Natalie, the John Deere worker who summons orbs on her Tennessee mountain; the football-field-sized rectangle over a Brazilian-quiet cabin; Whitley Strieber's implant that moved when the surgeon went in. We map the high-strangeness zones (Skinwalker Ranch, Mothman, cattle mutilations) and the mass sightings that are hardest to wave off (Phoenix Lights, the Belgium wave, Varginha, the Ariel School in Zimbabwe).Then the thread everyone underestimates: consciousness. The CE5 community, the government's remote-viewing past (Stargate, Hal Puthoff, Ingo Swan), and the psionics resurfacing now through whistleblower Jake Barber and Skywatcher, soldiers using their minds to draw the phenomenon in. Will closes on the part that actually matters to him: what disclosure does to the soul, the religions it might spawn, and why the people communing with this stuff...not controlling it...may be the ones who've understood it best.Topics: experiencers and abduction accounts, the hitchhiker effect, CE5, Skinwalker Ranch, high strangeness, cattle mutilations, Phoenix Lights, the Varginha case, remote viewing and the Stargate program, psionics, Jake Barber and Skywatcher, non-human intelligence, telepathy, consciousness, and the spiritual edge of disclosure.Start with Part 1 for the foundation: UFOs, UAPs, secret programs, and the deep state machinery behind disclosure.
Transcribe →UAP, Disclosure & The Phenomenon w/ Will Holland
Jun 2301:16:14Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailWill Holland on UFOs, UAPs & the Secret Programs Behind Disclosure (Pt. 1)In Part 1 of our two-part conversation, Will Holland walks Disco through the full strange terrain of the phenomenon.We get into the competing origin theories — extraterrestrial, interdimensional, and the increasingly hard-to-dismiss crypto-terrestrial hypothesis — and why the answer might be "all of the above, and also none of them." Will unpacks the deep state machinery around UFO secrecy: legacy programs, whistleblowers and the real risks they take, controlled disclosure, free energy implications, and the possibility that the phenomenon is a multi-layered reality we're only seeing one frame of.Less "the truth is out there," more "the truth is structured to stay out of reach." A conversation for the curious and the skeptical alike.Topics: UFO and UAP terminology, NHI, experiencers, CE5, interdimensional and crypto-terrestrial theories, government secrecy, whistleblowers, the deep state, free energy, and why critical thinking is the only real flashlight.Part 2 goes deeper into non-human intelligence, the experiencer phenomenon, and the spiritual edge of contact.

Transcribe →Coming Home to Yourself w/ Otis Smallwood
May 2601:17:09Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailWhat if everything you've been searching for was already here?Otis Smallwood, founder of Awakening Genius, executive coach, and one of the most quietly mind-blowing humans we've ever sat across from, joins us for a conversation that started as an interview and ended as something closer to a session. Fair warning: this one will get under your skin.Otis takes us from his childhood in Minnesota to losing a million dollars at 25, from a random bookstore encounter to 21 days in an ashram outside Chennai, and into the work he now does helping founders and executives find their way back to themselves.We get into self-study vs. self-improvement, the neurobiology of enlightenment, what medicine journeying actually does (and doesn't do), why the ego isn't the enemy, and what it really means to directly experience divinity, not just believe in it.By the end, we were crying. You might be too. Note: This episode explores deeply philosophical and spiritual concepts. Reflect at your own pace and integrate what resonates into your life. Otis emphasizes direct experience over belief, urging us all to remember our divine nature that’s already within.
Transcribe →The Akashic Records & Your Inner Knowing w/ Kim Knievel
May 1201:10:35Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailKim Knievel spent years climbing the corporate ladder — PR agencies, Microsoft, Under Armour — before a single Akashic Records reading stopped her in her tracks. Not because it told her something she didn't know. But because it reflected back something she'd been looking away from.In this episode, we sit down with Kim to explore one of the most misunderstood and underestimated modalities in the consciousness space. We get into what the Akashic Records actually are and what it actually feels like to be inside them as a reader.We also talk about the difference between seeking revelation and receiving reflection, why the most spiritually potent information tends to be the most inconvenient, and how Kim is bridging the world of soul-led work with the practical, strategic minds who are quietly ready for it but don't quite have language for it yet.Plus: Zach's skepticism gets a full airing. Kim handles it beautifully.If you've been curious about the Records but didn't know where to start — or if you've had a reading that left you underwhelmed and wondered why — this episode will reframe the whole thing.Show LinksKim KnievelField Guide
Transcribe →Unlocking Trauma with Brainspotting w/ Mari Javed-Payne
Apr 2901:29:19Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailSummaryMari is a somatic psychotherapist, trauma therapist, international brainspotting trainer, shamanic practitioner, and one of the most genuinely layered humans we've had on this show. Her story moves through immigration, addiction, homelessness, eight trips to rehab, a psychic awakening that looked nothing like the wellness industry version — and eventually, a single brainspotting session that changed the entire trajectory of her life and work.In this conversation we get into all of it. What brainspotting actually is, why it works when talk therapy doesn't, and what's really happening in your brain and body when you find a spot. What it means to carry your ancestors' unfinished business in your nervous system right now. Why most of Western therapy has it backwards. And what she's learned from decades of sitting with people in their absolute darkest places (including her own).We also go somewhere most wellness conversations don't — into the shadow, the unseen, and what it actually looks like to work with energies that aren't exactly warm and fuzzy.This one is dense, rich, and genuinely unlike anything we've recorded. Come curious.Key TopicsThe science behind brain spotting and the orienting reflexMari's personal journey through trauma, addiction, and spiritual awakeningThe spiritual and energetic aspects of brain spotting and energy workHow brain spotting helps access and process stored trauma in the bodyThe role of intuition, spirit guides, and energy in trauma healingThe importance of sovereignty and boundaries in spiritual and energetic workMari's work with dark energies, demons, and spirit guidesThe intersection of neuroscience, spirituality, and energy healingPractical insights into conducting a brain spotting sessionThe significance of ancestral and lineage healing in trauma recovery Brain spotting as a direct access to the limbic systemThe role of eye movements in emotional and trauma healingThe connection between subconscious, body, and healing capacityThe impact of ancestral trauma and epigeneticsThe limitations of traditional talk therapy and the power of somatic approaches
