John Tenney stops by the pod, and we ramble about the sanity of experiencers, how easy it is to feed your delusion on magical thinking, manifestation and doing magic for others instead of yourself, the contactees, the UFO grifters of past and present, and much more!

Don't worry, Spencer and I have got you. From talks about alien life, to talks about muscle cars, orangutans usi...

On this installment of OSS After Dark that is definitely NSFW, Jeff and I bring you the story of one woman's fling with a smelly alien, Claude (who would go on to found the Raelien movement) proudly showing off his baguette to anyone he could, an alien matchmaker that looked like Mega Man, and the story of Rob Krisohperson, who's sexual encounter could best be described as a "mat classic."

Greetings Patrons! I'm back with the 66 addendum. If you recall, 1966 was the Swamp Gas year; the straw that broke the camels back for Project Blue Book and led to a civilian study of the UFO phenomenon and Blue Book's files from the University of Colorado. It was the year that Frank Manor saw a glowing pyramid in his back yard, an all girls school saw lights in the swamp, a group of police officers pursued a UFO over state li...
