Coming at you from 4,200 feet up in the Oregon hills, Sam Wilson brings another intense, no-holds-barred edition of the Make It Out Alive (MOA) broadcast. This week’s episode delivers a whirlwind of bizarre and brutal headlines, gripping stories, and raw commentary.

First, Sam breaks down a shocking cannibal-style assault in Queens where a man on parole for attempted murder attacks a 9-year-old girl and bites off a cop's finger. Then, he dives into the savage beating of an off-duty rookie NYPD officer in the Bronx—and the tragic fallout when fear of media backlash kept him from drawing his gun.

From there, Sam explores the heartbreaking suicide of a young Pennsylvania police officer after a LASIK procedure went horribly wrong, shedding light on the little-known risks behind the common surgery. Next up, a harrowing rescue mission at Virginia’s Crabtree Falls ends in both heroism and tragedy after two hikers ignore a guardrail for the sake of a selfie.

The episode wraps with a powerful reality check on emergency preparedness. Sam critiques a recent FEMA survey that suggests Americans feel “ready” for disasters—and explains why mindset and hands-on experience matter more than just buying gear online.

Plus, you’ll hear Sam’s take on why serrated knives may be a survivalist’s secret weapon, and a surprising intermission featuring two street-smart porch cats: Dark Knight and Mr. Floofers.

It's a packed show—equal parts chaos, crime, caution, and common sense. As always, Sam asks the real question: Will you make it out alive?
