Former senior intelligence official and special agent, Luis “Lue” Elizondo, was recruited into the US government’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, a $22 million program sponsored by then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to study UFOs. Lue resigned in 2017 in protest of excessive government secrecy regarding UFOs. But it’s thanks to Lue that the government in recent years has declassified and made public a lot of information regarding UFO encounters and sightings.

Jeff Belanger returns to celebrate the scariest, most violent and dangerous holiday – Christmas! His new book, “The Fright Before Christmas: Surviving Krampus and Other Yuletide Monsters, Witches, and Ghosts,” details the real reasons we put up trees, hang stockings, string up lights, and exchange gifts this time of year, and it actually has nothing to do with Santa Claus or even religion. He discusses how monsters, goblins, ogres and witches from other cultures around the world morphed into the merry festivities of the season today. And he shares the stories and legends behind Krampus, the elf-like TomTen, Karakoncolas, the Gryla, and the Yule Cat! Naughty children beware!   Buy “The Fright Before Christmas: Surviving Krampus and Other Yuletide Monsters, Witches, and Ghosts” https://jeffbelanger.com/playlist/the-fright-before-christmas-surviving-krampus-and-other-yuletide-monsters-witches-and-ghosts/   Thank you for supporting our sponsors!

Chris Hero recently made his return to the wrestling ring after a 3-year absence, and explains why West Coast Pro Wrestling was the perfect place to do it. He talks about the timing and his opponent, old rival Timothy Thatcher. He also talks about his gig as coach and producer at AEW, and the role that Sonjay Dutt played in it. Chris shares a bunch of great stories about his own mentors, Dory Funk Jr. and Tracy Smothers, and the lessons he learned from them that he passes on to his own students now. He also details his time at WWE & NXT, including his original tryout, his first run as Kassius Ohno, his relationship with Dusty Rhodes, and his original firing. He explains how and why he was brought back as a producer and coach, and what led to his departure during the pandemic. And of course he talks all about his longtime friendship with Claudio Castagnoli and their run as the Kings Of Wrestling on the indies and at ROH, and their incredible matches with The Briscoe Brothers.   Thank you for supporting our sponsors!
