Guests share their strangest, fringiest outlier stories and we use those stories as a thought exercise to think about how we know what's true and what isn't.
Fun and interesting

Finishing the last currently available episode. This show is really cool. I love podcasts like this so to find one by one of my favorite podcaster YouTuber guys was awesome! Like all things Matt puts out, I highly recommend this great show.

Great podcast! Listened to each episode the day it was released. I came here to let Matt know we are still here and following. Hoping, wishing, waiting for more episodes.

The stories that Matt and his guests present here are not only interesting but thought provoking as well. The way that Matt works through the possibilities and potential answers is always enjoyable. I can’t help but get excited each time an episode comes out.
Unexpectedly Captivating

I put off listening to the first episode for a long time. I don’t really know why. I generally don’t like “fringy” stories and the like. I finally decided to listen and then quickly listened up through episode 11. Matt does such a good job of taking an honest straightforward look at these stories while respecting and enjoying his guests. Well worth your time!
Matt is Amazing

Huge fan of everything Matt has done so far. Big fan of him, and if we met in real life, I feel like we would become fast friends. Matt, I appreciate all your hard work in all your creative outlets to make the internet more interesting!
Excellent! I love this podcast!

I’ve been a rapt listener ever since the first episode, and I just love what you’re doing here! Regarding Episode 011, A couple of my siblings have what they call ‘future dreams’, and one sibling in particular has them fairly often. Like the guest on this episode, most of their future dreams relate to fairly inconsequential circumstances, but this sibling claims that sometimes they can use the future dream to steer the outcome to their own benefit. I personally used to have a lot of deja vu experiences, and I believe that I may have had a few ‘future dreams’ as a young child, but not in a very long time, except for one that I remember very distinctly, and documented at the time because of how unexplainable it seemed. At this time, I was a full time student, and would often grab a nap whenever I could find 30 minutes. I’d listen to audio books in order to fall asleep sometimes, and on this particular occasion, I was listening to a book that I had read the text version of several months prior. I think that the simplest way to explain this is that as I was falling asleep, I was awakened by the realization that the reader had started reading a section over again. I listened to the end of the repeated section, and it was a couple of paragraphs long. Thinking it funny, I went back to listen again, but to my confusion, the section was not actually repeated in the recording. So, how had I heard it twice, if it was only in there once? The only possible explanation is that I had dreamt it the first time in that strange place between consciousness and sleep, and only when the reader actually started to read the section did I fully awaken. This brings up some issues, though. Sure, dreaming things that you remember could happen, but how can you remember what hasn’t happened? The voice and pacing, not to mention the word-for-word repeat were exactly the same, so it was some sort of foreknowledge rather than a guess. I think that the most natural explanation is that, having read the book before, my subconscious mind recalled the exact wording and mapped it to the readers voice, and that’s how I dreamt it. Also, with the way time works in dreams, I could have “remembered” the reading in just a split second. However, while this might have been the case, I tend to lean towards the idea that time isn’t quite as rigid as we might think, or perhaps that moments other than the one called ‘now’ might be a little more accessible to our spiritual sides than our physical sides. My Dad had a similar experience only a year or so ago. He called it a glitch dog. The way he described it was basically like that cat in the matrix. He was driving home from work one day, and saw a dog crossing the road. Immediately after, the exact same dog crossed the road in the exact same way, everything about the two dogs and crossings being perfectly identical. And at the other side of the road was only one dog. Again, just a random happening with no personal significance other than a ‘huh, that was weird..’ moment.
Interesting stories

I heard about this podcast on both the Ten Minute Bible Hour Podcast and No Dumb Questions. I’m a huge fan of both of those, so I was curious about Matt’s new podcast. I struggled to grasp the point of this podcast at first. It took probably four or five episodes for me to start to understand it. My two favorite stories on this podcast so far are Matt’s story that he also discussed on NDQ and Jeff Foote’s story from Budapest. That said, there are other awesome stories on this podcast.
Greatly stories

Matt Does an amazing job of work out story details and all Guest have an amazing inexplicable story to tell. Great job with the podcast!

This is a great dive into thinking about how people think about things. It takes the fringe experiences of people and wrestlers with how people know what they know. Scholarly, yet accessible.
