Episode 87 - The Waffle House

In this episode, we enter America’s most haunted culinary dojo, the American hibachi, AKA the Waffle House. A place where your meal is prepared inches from your face all while someone sitting next to you is having coffee with their sleep paralysis demon.

We share true stories from our past and uncover evidence that each Waffle House may actually be a tiny wormhole in the space-time continuum.

We also put our friend Kory from The World Is My Burrito through a high-stakes Waffle House quiz, and talk about Waffle House songs that should not exist.

So grab some of that coffee that’s been on the burner since the Clinton administration, take a seat at the grill of destiny, and prepare yourself for the most smothered-and-covered episode we’ve ever done.

Episode 86 - The Four Horsemen!

Today, we’re talking about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death. You know, the original disaster influencers. We’re digging into where these guys came from, what they were supposed to warn us about, and why, thousands of years later, they’re still wildly relevant in our modern hellscape of plagues, tyranny, war, and that low-grade sense of doom you feel every time you open  your phone.

Episode 85 - Curse-Mas Special 2025

Our annual holiday tradition returns—where we celebrate joy, goodwill, and the art of the curse.

This year is extra special as we finally get an update—and a conclusion—to one of our earliest Curse-mas stories: Mary the ghost, first discussed during the 2022

Tim kicks things off by unpacking the unsettling world of cursed furniture, proving once again that the real danger of the holiday season isn’t a drunk uncle—it’s antiques. Nate reminds us of Mary Lewyd, while Chris dives into the infamous Bucksport, Maine grave, the Martyr of Greenwood Cemetery, and how to dig up the bones of your ancestors to help stop the bad luck.

So grab a drink, dim the lights, and settle in—because nothing says Christmas like generational doom. This is against all oddities

Episode 84 - Return To The Monroe!

On this episode, Nate returns to the mountain, aka the Monroe institute, to revisit those storied halls like a monk in an EEG headset, listening to frequencies designed to nudge his awareness just a smidge outside the factory settings. We also dig into Lifelines, Monroe’s method for talking with the dead, along with bilocation, astral shenanigans, and a dash of remote viewing because why not.

So settle in, tune up your brainwaves, and maybe keep one foot tethered to this plane of existence. Because we’re heading back into the place where consciousness gets stretchy, time gets weird, and apparently the dead still check their messages.

Episode 83 - Spooky Season '25

It’s spooky season people and everyone knows that spooky season is our favorite excuse to tell ghost stories and pretend our bad audio is actually “spirit activity.” On today’s episode Each brother comes armed with a few paranormal tales, and we’ve stitched in real stories from listeners who swear their they’ve seen beyond the vail.

So grab a pumpkin beer, light a candle, grab a blanket, and maybe keep the lights on. Because this episode isn’t just about telling ghost stories — it’s about inviting them in.

Episode 82 - VHS Wars

On today’s episode we chose to focus on Nate's upcoming annual costume party. The theme of which is titled "VHS Wars" with the hope that party goers stop being party poopers and come dressed as their favorite movie characters.

Episode 80 - Atlantis & Lost Worlds

In this episode, we're plunging deep — like, under-the-ocean-floor deep — into the myths and madness surrounding the Lost City of Atlantis and other ancient civilizations that probably most definitely existed, But hold tight — because Along the way, we’ll veer off the scholarly path and barrel through a rabbit hole of topics like: Dan Brown’s, The microbial mysteries of your gut bacteria, Fasting, equestrian electrolytes, broken trucks, the poo water of Waterworld, Gobekli Tepe, Indiana Jones, under the pyramids,  and the ratchet structure to name just a few. So if you've ever wondered whether Atlantis is real or whether your truck knows too much about your microbiome... you're in the right place because this is against all oddities

Episode 79 - T.M. Part Deux

This is part deux of our two-part dive into the world of meditation, specifically, but not exclusively, Transcendental Meditation. In part one, we explored the methods behind T.M. and other meditative practices. Now, in part two, we share the results of our TM training and reflect on our month-long journey into the mind-meat abyss.

If you're worried this sounds like a snoozefest, fear not! This episode is surprisingly lively, full of questionable insights and unexpected laughs. We’re joined by our good friend and  professional soldier, Benjamin Kemp, to help us wrangle the weird and wonderful ideas that surfaced during our practice.

We talk about a lot—from fresh socks to childhood trauma, spiritual side quests, Nate’s new “walk it off - program, and yes, those elusive Lynchain idea whales.

Episode 78 - T.M. Part 1

In today’s episode, we drop into the still, pulsing void of Transcendental Meditation. That’s right—mantras, Maharishi, and the vibrational highways of the inner cosmos. But in true AAO fashion, we can’t just Om and go home. We veer off the meditation cushion to share a few ghost stories, then take a soft right turn into Jokesville, USA. And heads up—this is part one of a two-part journey into TM. In this episode, we introduce the practice and explore what drew each of us to it. Part two will document the results after a full month of daily practice. Will we transcend—or just trend-scend?

Episode 77 - Loosh

Today’s episode, we dive headfirst into the lesser-known concept of Loosh. That’s right—energy farming, emotional harvesting, inter-dimensional snack food… whatever you want to call it, we’re going there. From Robert Monroe’s wild astral adventures to the increasingly popular theory that Earth is one big cosmic Loosh buffet, we explore the idea that maybe—just maybe—your existential dread is someone else’s amuse-bouche... or as we like to call it, amuse-loosh. And of course, in classic AAO fashion, we spiral into adjacent rabbit holes: Archons, The Matrix, manifestation, initiatory dreams, and all sorts of other tasty tangents to keep the Loosh flowing strong enough to reach even the most distant inter-dimensional interlocutor.

Episode 76 - Malls

Today’s episode we take a collective walk down memory lane to discuss all things “Mall”. From Dawn of the Dead to orange Julius, from Nate’s job at a mall arcade to today’s obsession with backrooms and liminal spaces, we leave no fake plastic stone unturned. Also in typical AAO form we spend a decent amount of time randomly talking about manifestation, black holes, Tom Campbell, Simulation Theory, Chat GPT learning to remote view, and more!

Episode 75 - OOOPS!!! All Jokes

On todays episode we’re going to dive into the didactic world of 15th century grimoire… OOOOPS!!! [all jokes] Never mind it looks like  we accidentally  released an entire episode about jokes! Sorry not sorry!

Episode 74 - The Shadow

It’s  2025 people and we’re back to talk about resolutions but more importantly the shadow and how we all have to confront it in order to take one more step down the crooked and dark path of the adept.  What is this mysterious guardian of the threshold and how can you defeat it? Stick around and you may find out!
