Episode 71 - October-Feast 2024 : Ghosts

As you know every year Against All Oddities, by way of oldest brother Nate, throws a massive party at his 10 acre haunted estate in rural Virginia. This annual tradition brings nearly a hundred people come together to dress up in costume, eat tons of food, and party with the against all oddities team. We often use this opportunity to reconnect with each other, form treasure hunts, do some sketchy metal casting, erect large portals, and tell ghost stories around a variety of camp fires. In honor of this year’s festival we are dedicating this episode to talk about a favorite topic of ours, ghosts and apparitions. So join us as we discuss thoughts about life beyond the veil with each other and with some of the many guests gathered for October-Feast 2024!

Episode 69 - Walking Among Us

Today we will be talking about those that walk among us…what does that mean? Well, we’re not sure ourselves, but we wanted to have a fun episode and this is what we ended up with. Actually it turned out pretty great. In the episode we not only talk about the possibility of aliens eluding our detection during the mundane hours of our lives, but we also discuss movies and personal anecdotes surrounding time travelers, spirit possession, sleep walking, Vampires, para normal apathy, Indrid Cold and the men in black, spies like us, and of course those sneaky wizards and occult mages that you pass on the street every day without ever getting noticed. So put on your trainers and grab your “they live” sunglasses because you’re about to start seeing the strangers that are walking among us.

Episode 68 - Artificial Intelligence

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the world of artificial intelligence—a realm where science fiction meets science fact, and where the line between human and machine is increasingly blurred. From the cutting-edge algorithms that drive our favorite apps to the robots that might one day walk among us, AI is shaping our world in ways we never imagined.

We’re not just talking about the basics here. We’ll dig into everything from the origins of AI and its wild predictions to the ethical conundrums and futuristic visions that make us both excited and a bit unnerved. We’ve got some intriguing guests lined up and a few unexpected twists that will challenge your perception of what AI really is.

And don’t worry, while we’re diving deep into some seriously complex topics, we promise to keep the conversation lively and light-hearted. So, get ready for a mind-bending journey into the algorithms and artificial minds that are changing the fabric of our reality.

Now, buckle up and prepare for an exploration into the extraordinary and the enigmatic.

Episode 67 - Manifestation

Today’s episode is all about the concept of intention based manifestation. Join us as we talk about everything from Bob Proctor, The Silva Method, New Thought, Mitch Horowitz and his 30 day mental challenge and so much more. We are super into this topic because not only does it work, and we give you the examples to prove it, but give you some solid tactics and strategies that you can try out for yourself.  Don’t worry, despite us getting weirdly sincere in this episode we also made sure to keep some humor in the mix. Also, since we don’t mention it in the episode if you try any of this stuff out and it works please let us know by writing us at wizard@dorfyou.com. Now get your mind ready and manifest me to shut up and start the episode.

Episode 56 - Updates 2023

Episode 56 - Updates 2023

Yes, this episode is about cars but don’t you dare turn that radio knob, just slow down pull over and hear us out on this one. First off this is actually a very hilarious and great episode all about the many terrible and amazing cars that we have owned over the years. It’s actually funny and not in a gear head sort of way. Unless that’s what you’re looking for, in which case, yes, it’s funny like that too.

In addition to telling extremely amusing and humbling stories about the countless vehicles that we have owned  over the past quarter of a century, and that have ultimately been towed down the river styx and over the rainbow bridge, we also talk about the absurdity of cars and how ingrained they are in our lives and culture, we also talk about odd deaths in automotive history, and well….actually that’s more or less about it but trust us it’s a great episode. Like maybe don’t be so close minded about it, you’ll learn a lot about us and more importantly you’ll  learn about yourself….this episode may even make all your dreams come true.

Episode 54 - Dreams

Today we are talking about dreams and dreaming and no it is not a boring episode. We talk about tips and tricks to lucid dreaming, improving memory, initiatory dreams, dream contact, including notable scholars on the subjects like Charley Moorely, Luigi Sciambarella, Bob Monroe, Joe McMoneagle. Dream Manifestation. Dream meditation, the subconscious, reality checking, dream telepathy, and we do all of this while maintaining our reputation for being hilarious! to top it off we also  have listener dream contributions that you don’t want to miss. So hop into you bed and turn down the lights because this is against all oddities!

Episode 53 - Past Lives

You know we have a banger of an episode when we start it off with a clip from The 1970 film, Patton which won an award for best picture, was directed by Frank Schaffner and written by Francis Ford Coppola. We thought this was an interesting clip to start with because the poem that was just recited by the actor playing General Patton, was actually written by General Patton who not only believed in reincarnation but really did believe he had died and fought a countless number wars throughout his millennia of past lives.

Which is what we are talking about today. We not only get into the idea of past lives but dig into NDE, OBE, Ensoulment, Clairvoyance, Thomas Campbell, universal consciousness, secret machines, past life regression, and rose readings. And the cherry on top of this sundae of an episode is that all three of the brothers met with a clairvoyant who explained to us some of our past lives.

This is a once in a life-time episode so if you can't listen now, well catch ya in the next one because this is Against All Oddities!

Episode 52 - What Magic Is This: with Douglas Batchelor

We talk to Douglas about magic, the esoteric, ASMR, magical aptitude, coyote initiation, Justin Bieber, Fear, death hygiene, and optimism within the occult!
