In the first half, writer and Bigfoot researcher Daniel Perez joined guest host Ryan Wrecker (email) to share various accounts of Sasquatch sightings. Perez pointed out that despite decades of searching, a definitive specimen remains elusive, yet he remains confident in the cryptid's existence. He recounted a 1941 Canadian case where a young hunter, Paul Shibaga, shot and killed a large, gorilla-like creature but kept silent due to fear. "Had he come forward back in 1941... this whole matter may have been resolved," Perez reflected.
He noted that while some trail cam footage exists—such as a debated juvenile sighting from the mid-1990s—none conclusively reveal the creature's face. Lacking this type of evidence, he instead relies on credible eyewitnesses from locations that merit serious investigation. One of his most intriguing witnesses was Mike Gardner, a Caltrans operator in Northern California who described seeing an "eight-foot tall, huge, hairy man-like creature" crossing a road, an encounter that converted Gardner from skeptic to believer. Perez also spoke about Betty Younger's 1990s sighting of a juvenile Bigfoot in British Columbia, as well as Ohio farmer Patrick Poling's 1980 encounter with an upright ape-like figure near his tractor and his discovery of large footprints. Perez claimed, "Of all the people I've interviewed, Patrick Poling would come across as one of the most credible people I've ever met."
He also discussed the common human reaction to Bigfoot sightings—being frozen with shock and often failing to capture clear images despite having cameras or phones. He shared an example of a Canadian hunter who erased a shaky video of a mother and juvenile Bigfoot because it wasn't clear enough. "Even if it's bad video, we sure would have loved to see it," he said.

In the second half, remote viewing instructor Paul H. Smith provided insights from his time in the Stargate Project. He explained that the program initially focused on psychokinesis—mind over matter—but found it too unpredictable for practical use. Remote viewing, he noted, proved to be more reliable and usable for intelligence purposes. Smith estimated that trained remote viewers achieve roughly 70% accuracy overall perceiving distant or unseen targets through extrasensory perception.
He addressed the misconception that remote viewing is akin to watching a movie. Smith explained that it instead involves receiving "fragments of perception" such as colors, textures, smells, sounds, and an intuitive "non-local knowing" that gradually coalesce into a clearer picture. He warned of avoiding preconceived notions or guesses that the brain supplies, which can sabotage accuracy. "One of the things you learn with remote viewing is to let the information flow in and don't try to understand it... as soon as you have that thought, your left brain will give you the wrong answers," he insisted.
Regarding the relevance of remote viewing today, Smith acknowledged that modern technology has replaced many of its former uses. However, he believes the practice remains valuable for accessing information that technical means cannot reach, including data about past events or hard-to-reach locations. "Remote viewing can be useful in collecting information from the past… and to some degree, the future," he said, though he cautioned that future predictions are less reliable. He told novices to start with simple sensory impressions, sketching shapes and noting colors or smells without forcing interpretations. "You have to be open-minded… sometimes things aren't compatible with what you've learned before," he advised.
