For Episode 196: Satanic Culture with Larry Johnson, we are lucky enough to have former Running Back for the Kansas City Chiefs, Larry Johnson, joining us for a conversation about the satanic culture that seems to be permeating in our society. Since retiring from the NFL, Larry has started seeing the world in a different light, and became vocal on Twitter about what he was seeing.

On Episode 202: Skinwalker Ranch, we bring on guest Ryan who has done something that most couldn't imagine doing, let alone would dare to do! Ryan had an encounter with a skinwalker near the famous Skinwalker Ranch, and once he looked into this creepy phenomenon he couldn't get it out of his mind. So after talking it over with his wife, they decided to purchase the property next to Skinwalker Ranch to research the paranormal activity in the area! Ryan even hired a caretaker for the property, and instructed him to never shoot at anything strange that he may see, because Ryan wants his own property to become a safe haven for the unexplained things creeping around it.
