Due to illness, psychiatrist Dr. Rick Strassman was only able to appear for a short time in the program, during which he discussed the powerful psychedelic drug DMT, as well as chemically induced mystical experiences. Strassman said he "became interested in the biological basis of mystical experiences" during his college studies. He hightlighted the brain chemistry that may underlie profound experiences, stating that the pineal gland secretes DMT naturally. Strassman described the effects as similar to "LSD and mescaline and psilocybin," and that it can "open specific doorways to… real experiences." Some of his research subjects in clinical trials described the sensation at the onset as like "being blasted out of a nuclear cannon." For the remainder of the first half, Art read an article about Operation Acoustic Kitty, the secret CIA program that used trained cats as sophisticated bugging devices.

The rest of the show featured Open Lines with callers who had consciously "slipped" into another time or universe. Steve from Los Angeles recounted the time he "slipped into another dimension" while on a road trip. According to Steve, one moment he was sitting on a bench at a gas station, the next he claimed to have been surrounded by a blue-gray, pastel-colored world populated by groups of people (in sets of two and three) as far as his eyes could see. Jason, a former witch from Fayetteville, told Art he had visited other dimensions. Jason described his experience in religious terms, noting that another person's experience in the same dimensions would vary. Several callers also phoned in to share their drug-induced experiences.
