Episode 94 - The Third Man Factor

Against All Oddities ·

2026/09/25

In this episode we’re talking about the mysterious presence that sometimes appears when people are lost, injured, exhausted, or close to death—a voice, a companion, or an unseen guide that shouldn’t be there, but somehow helps them survive. It’s called the Third Man Factor.So is it a trick of the brain under extreme stress, a guardian angel, a higher version of ourselves, or something else entirely?Because sometimes, when you're absolutely alone, your brain apparently decides what you really need is

Episode 93 - Ego Gains

Against All Oddities ·

2026/08/24

On this episode we max out the update meter with a rat-snake rescue, a sticky Arby’s medical trial homemade dungeon-crawler merch, and a lazy river powered mostly by beer. Then we stop optimizing long enough to ask whether “maxxing,” narcissism, and the cult of the individual are actually making us better—or just giving us endless new reasons to believe we’re not good enough. So accept yourself exactly as you are—unless you actually know how to get taller, live forever, and secure ShadowMaxxing.com

2026/07/23

Across America, there are artifacts that have withstood the test of time, heat, neglect, and questionable refrigeration. They're found in truck stops, convenience stores, and dusty gas stations. Scientists can't explain them. Historians ignore them. Tonight, we're investigating one of civilization's greatest enigmas: weird meat.We recorded this episode over six years ago, decided it wasn't quite done, and left it to age gracefully on the roller dog machine. This month, we're too busy to record a new

Episode 91 - Silicon Séance

Against All Oddities ·

2026/06/15

This month, Against All Oddities enters the silicon séance room to ask a troubling question: what happens when humanity's accumulated occult knowledge starts talking back? We explore AI as oracle, guru, summoner, and brainwave tuner. Can large language models become intermediaries between ourselves and whatever else is out there, or is it a bad idea to trust a chaotic-neutral actor trained on the entirety of human knowledge?Obviously, this topic was always going to get us talking about the Dungeon

2026/05/08

Tonight, we’re leaving behind the safety of the present and dialing directly into a future that nobody asked for… but somehow still subscribed to.In this episode, Nate channels a version of himself from fifteen years in the future, a weary survivor in a bleak world of nonstop ads, disappointing alien disclosure, Gronk brain implants, llama meat shortages, and humanity quietly discovering that Soylent Green may have been less of a warning and more of a business model.So power down your implants,

Tonight, we’re tuning past the obvious and diving into the invisible highways all around us, ham radios bouncing signals off the ionosphere, mysterious number stations whispering coded messages to no one (or everyone), and the strange science that lets your voice travel farther than your horse ever could. We’ll get into the magic that is radio… which is really just physics… which is really just magic we agreed to measure.Because once you start thinking about frequency… things get weird.We’re talking

Today, we’re talking about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse—War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death. You know, the original disaster influencers. We’re digging into where these guys came from, what they were supposed to warn us about, and why, thousands of years later, they’re still wildly relevant in our modern hellscape of plagues, tyranny, war, and that low-grade sense of doom you feel every time you open your phone.

That’s right—energy farming, emotional harvesting, inter-dimensional snack food… whatever you want to call it, we’re going there. From Robert Monroe’s wild astral adventures to the increasingly popular theory that Earth is one big cosmic Loosh buffet, we explore the idea that maybe—just maybe—your existential dread is someone else’s amuse-bouche... or as we like to call it, amuse-loosh.
