In the first half, preparedness expert Marshall Masters argued that "Nemesis," a brown dwarf sun, is perturbing our solar system with a mysterious form of energy. He emphasized the urgency of preparing for extreme natural disasters projected around 2030, including "hyper velocity winds to 300 miles an hour, tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic activity." Masters noted a surge in seismic events, highlighting a recent 8.8 magnitude earthquake off Kamchatka that triggered tsunami alerts and volcanic eruptions. He further detailed that the effects of Nemesis warm the Earth's inner core, causing it to shift off-center and destabilize the planet's geological balance. He likened this to an "off-balance washing machine," driving increased seismic activity.
According to Masters, the brown dwarf star and its associated Planet X were first imaged by a space telescope in 1983, and then the discovery was suppressed by authorities to avoid public panic. He warned that withholding this information has left humanity unprepared for an impending catastrophe linked to a pole shift. Masters described Nemesis as about seven times the size of Jupiter, moving in a hyperbolic orbit that cannot be captured by the sun's gravity.
He also referenced unusual activity in the solar system, such as Mars experiencing quakes, which he attributes to Nemesis' influence. He claims that evidence of Planet X is visible when there is an appearance of "two suns" in the sky, near the horizon at dawn or dusk, and suggests that there have been increased global sightings, especially in regions without chemtrail spraying. By 2030, Nemesis will become an undeniable fixture in the sky, he predicted, adding that "Everyone's going to see it. It'll be difficult to hide and ignore."

In the latter half, paranormal researcher and author Jeff Belanger discussed New England legends, lore, and oddities featured in his new book "Wicked Strange," a collaboration with photographer Frank Grace (view related images). The conversation covered a variety of compelling stories from the book, including the 1771 lightning strike deaths in a Connecticut church, where "two people were killed that day, and another man had his shoe torn off by the lightning strike." He also recounted the enduring mystery of the Lizzie Borden 1892 axe murders in Fall River, MA, noting the lack of forced entry and the possibility Lizzie "might have had some help."
Cemeteries feature prominently in Belanger's work. He shared the story of Dr. Timothy Clark Smith, who feared being buried alive and designed his grave with a window and glass-topped casket so he could chisel his way out if necessary. Another curious tale involved an ancient Egyptian mummy in Vermont, a relic that had been forgotten in a museum attic before being respectfully interred decades later. He identified the 1961 Betty and Barney Hill alien abduction in New Hampshire as one of the most frightening accounts, and connected the incident to a Cold War radar station in Vermont that reportedly had a UFO sighting the same night.
Another intriguing tale involved Dr. Duncan MacDougall, a Massachusetts physician who in 1901 attempted to measure the soul's weight by weighing dying patients. MacDougall famously reported a loss of about 21 grams at death, sparking debate and even inspiring the film "21 Grams." Belanger noted, "He believed people who lost more weight were better people and had more soul." He also spoke of Vermont's Lake Champlain monster, "Champ," a serpent-like creature with over 100 documented sightings and an official state plaque. Belanger underscored the importance of these local legends in preserving community identity amid modern homogenization: "These legends are what still make our communities unique."
