The Sports Doctor with Dr Robert Weil

Youth Sports Overuse, Neuromuscular Testing, and Proactive Wellness with Joe Janosky and Al Pirnia

Dr. Bob Weil hosts a doubleheader on youth sports overuse and functional wellness, talking neuromuscular testing and the mental game with athlete health consultant Joe Janosky, then proactive, root-cause medicine with national wellness expert Al Pirnia.

A Doubleheader Opens Live From Chicago
Dr. Bob Weil opens live from Chicago with his usual Sports Doctor sponsor rundown, thanking Global Schoolwear by Tommy Hilfiger, Lower Extremity Review magazine, Bryan Therapeutics, and UK Health Radio across the pond. He previews a doubleheader featuring athlete health consultant Joe Janosky, a sports medical leader who has worked as a physical therapist, athletic trainer, and public health researcher, and national wellness expert Al Pirnia, founder of Changing Life's Destiny and CEO of EverHealth Incorporated. Weil promises his regular Sports Doctor's In segment to close the hour. He frames the show around decades of covering every level of sports, from elite athletes to weekend warriors to the parents and coaches around them, noting how youth sports has exploded into a business where talent brings pressure, painkillers, and mental strain, a theme he says drove him to co-write his book #HeySportsParents before welcoming Joe Janosky to the call.

Joe Janosky's Path And The Mental Game
Joe Janosky thanks Weil for the invitation and explains his path into sports medicine, beginning as a physical therapist before earning his athletic training certification, a master's in exercise science and health promotion, and eventually a doctorate in public health, a progression he says shifted his focus from individual patients to entire populations of athletes. Weil connects this breadth to what he calls the mental game, recalling Athletico Physical Therapy founder Mark Kaufman as a past guest and stressing how alignment of the foot affects everything above it, especially in figure skating, where ignored foot pain often masks the knee problems that plague female athletes. He asks Janosky to rate his own sports psychology skills, and Janosky, though not a trained psychologist, credits twenty-three years of on-the-job experience, pivoting to describe neuromuscular control of the lower body as essential for every athlete and the subject of a major research project he has spent roughly a decade building.

Neuromuscular Control And 16,000 Athletes
Janosky describes data drawn from more than 16,000 young athletes, ages 10 to 19, tested for neuromuscular control of the trunk, knee, and foot during simple movement tasks, finding that 80 to 90 percent showed deficient control. Weil presses him on contributing factors, mentioning his own two essentials for athletes, strengthening the feet and ankles and working balance, or proprioception, and recommending the Sanddune Stepper as beach-like training equipment he has used for years. Janosky lists structural causes such as high arches, flat feet, and bow-leggedness alongside strength deficits and even poor sleep the night before testing. The two recall Yankees and White Sox infielder Eric Soderholm, the first baseball player to wear orthotics in his spikes in 1977 and work with a hypnotist, as an early sign of today's accepted mental-game science. Janosky warns parents against mistaking confident opinions on social media for real expertise, urging them to ask whether a claim is rooted in evidence, before directing listeners to josephjanosky.com and his Athlete Durability Index project.

A New Book For Sports Parents
During the break, Weil promotes his new book, co-written with former Hall of Fame volleyball player Sharkie Zartman, #HeySportsParents, An Essential Guide for Any Parent with a Child in Sports, noting the pair bring more than seventy years of combined youth sports experience. He outlines its four sections: Sports Parenting 101, where Zartman covers the parent-coach relationship and coaching one's own child; The Sports Doctor Is In, his own material on injury prevention and treatment, choosing shoes, youth sports and drugs, essential exercises, youth football, and orthotics; Experts Speak Out, featuring eight contributors on nutrition, performance, and mental training; and the Parents' Perspective, drawn from about half a dozen sports parents. Weil urges listeners to spread the word and order the book on Amazon, framing it as a tool to make parents more confident and young athletes better supported, before returning to the live conversation and welcoming his second guest of the hour, national wellness expert Al Pirnia.

Al Pirnia On Functional Medicine And Prediabetes
Al Pirnia tells Weil his path began with a biochemistry and chemical engineering degree followed by an MBA and investment banking, until his father's death from lung cancer turned his attention to the healthcare system's disease-based model. He describes founding Changing Life's Destiny and building EverHealth Incorporated to license and train practitioners in programs that address root causes rather than symptoms, holding an annual technology conference in Dallas each April and a CEO-focused gathering at the Ritz-Carlton Laguna each November. Weil connects this to his own three-point New Medicine, eat smarter, keep moving, and reduce stress, and the two discuss how nearly half the population is diabetic or prediabetic, with most prediabetics unaware and untreated until medication becomes the only response. Weil cites LEAP, Lower Extremity Amputation Prevention, founded by a former professor, noting eighty percent of amputations are preventable, and proposes a project called All Hands and Feet on Deck to bring nutrition and exercise education into schools, which Pirnia says remain almost entirely unreached.

The Sports Doctor Is In: Pearls And Previews
The conversation widens into brain health and neuroplasticity, with Pirnia explaining that functional-medicine clinicians now test fifteen bodily functions through a YCO score, likened to a credit score for health, and run blood tests that measure immune function and nutrient deficiencies largely ignored by conventional practitioners. Weil compares the shift to decades of resistance toward the mental game and anti-aging medicine, and the two lament how money and lobbying shape food and pharmaceutical regulation in the United States, one of only two countries that allows prescription drug advertising. Pirnia closes by directing listeners to everhealthusa.com and changelifedestiny.com. Closing with a shortened Sports Doctor's In segment, Weil previews returning guest Mama Cuisine's Joanna Mapore, pediatric immunization expert Hannah Schwartz, functional medicine's Sandra Scheinbaum, and young designer Ocean Baker. He shares his Dr. Bob wisdom on football players still banging helmets despite concussion awareness, mentions figure skater Danny O'Shea, now 35, whom he fitted with orthotics as a young Olympic gold medalist, and signs off thanking BBS Radio and That One Podcasting.

The Medical Intuitive Miracle Show with Kimberly Meredith

Heaven On Earth Oasis, Veteran Healing, And A Beverly Hills Gala With Valerie Heath

Medical intuitive Kimberly Meredith welcomes Valerie Heath, founder of the veterans' nonprofit Heaven on Earth Oasis, to talk about healing military veterans ahead of her November gala, with Emmy-winning filmmaker Tommy Anderson and several listener callers joining the conversation.

Kimberly Opens With A Prayer Of Gratitude
Kimberly Meredith opens The Medical Intuitive Miracle Show by welcoming listeners into the fifth dimension, inviting them to take a deep breath before reading a prayer of gratitude from her book, Awakening to the Fifth Dimension: Discovering the Soul's Path to Healing. She calls the evening a special Tuesday of gratitude and leads listeners through a meditation thanking ascending masters and spirit guides for their help, asking for the wisdom to live in trust, peace, and the present moment. She reminds listeners to share the call-in number and tells them tonight's guest is the president and founder of Heaven on Earth Oasis, who has spent twenty years working with military groups such as Veterans Assistance Network. Kimberly describes her as a Reiki Master, ThetaHealer, and energy alchemy practitioner who is deeply empathic and dedicates every day to helping veterans and others heal physically and emotionally, before bringing her into the conversation.

Valerie Traces Her Path From New York To California
Valerie Heath thanks Kimberly Meredith for the warm introduction and tells her story of moving from New York to Los Angeles about twenty years ago, drawn by a sense that a path awaited her there. While selling computer products and phone equipment to military buyers, she heard devastating stories from spouses about husbands returning with depression, post-traumatic stress, and traumatic brain injury, and could only offer counseling advice at the time since she was not yet a healer. Once settled in California, she studied seriously with several enlightened masters and became a Reiki Master and ThetaHealer, eventually building Heaven on Earth Oasis into an organization doing, in her words, a little bit of everything for veterans. She recalls how her nonprofit's 501(c)(3) status was approved in just six months after she spent an hour on the phone convincing a skeptical reviewer who told her she had never seen anyone with that much passion.

Heaven On Earth Oasis Helps Veterans Navigate Benefits
Valerie Heath explains that beyond holistic healing, her organization helps veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress navigate the paperwork needed to secure VA benefits and back pay, connecting them with lawyers for a process that usually takes about six months. During that waiting period, she says, veterans can become homeless, and Heaven on Earth Oasis currently houses three homeless veterans in hotels or safe housing rather than on VA property, which she says veterans often avoid. Kimberly Meredith asks about the organization's annual fundraiser, and Valerie describes the gala set for Saturday, November 21st, at Lawry's in Beverly Hills, drawing eighty to one hundred guests for a full day of healing starting at ten in the morning, new wellness products, a sit-down luncheon, and entertainment. Kimberly says this will be her fifth year attending and leading a fifth-dimension activation healing there, praising Valerie for letting veterans attend free while she urges listeners to send donations to support the cause.

Emmy Winner Tommy Anderson Shares His Story
The first caller is Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Tommy Anderson, who tells Kimberly Meredith and Valerie Heath about winning his ensemble award for the short documentary Take Me Home Huey, inspired by a Vietnam-era helicopter transformed into artwork by an artist near Palm Springs, which let veterans reconnect with their past through photography he shot behind the scenes. Tommy says he served in a support role rather than combat and felt a lingering guilt that became part of his mission to help others affected by PTSD. He recalls his own father, a World War II veteran once labeled with shell shock, crying and screaming at night, and says his own trauma came largely from years working as a firefighter and medic. A nurse during his recovery from multiple surgeries told him his creativity was his path forward, and that advice led him into filmmaking and acting. Kimberly thanks him for agreeing to speak at the November 21st gala.

Callers Leigh, A Canadian Listener, And Wayne Phone In
After the break, Valerie Heath lists more gala participants, including Cryo Healthcare, CBD brand Qtopix, massage therapist Obeli, Reiki practitioner Denise Willis, tarot reader Barbara Blessing, and PEMF provider Jody, before Kimberly Meredith opens the phone lines. Leigh calls from Southern California, saying she has known Valerie since Heaven on Earth Oasis began fourteen years ago and describing a friend in Alaska who suffered severe PTSD, praising Valerie's work as life-saving and pledging to attend the gala. An unidentified woman calls from Canada, thanking Kimberly and Valerie warmly, asking about ticket details for November 21st, and then shifting to ask Kimberly about a psychic's prediction of a California earthquake in February 2027; Kimberly tells her not to live in fear about it. Wayne calls from Port Hardy on Vancouver Island, admitting he tuned in only because a friend kept recommending the show, and Valerie shares the organization's website with him before he signs off.

Ilka's Reading, JR's Idea, And A Grateful Close
Caller Ilka asks Kimberly Meredith for a medical intuitive reading about severe burnout and exhaustion, and Kimberly senses negative stress tied to her personal life and a female presence from the other side trying to reach her, inviting Ilka to a free Halloween spirit gallery event the following Thursday. JR calls from his hometown in Washington State wanting to build a veteran housing compound with tiny homes and land for grounding and stargazing, and Valerie offers to connect him with contacts after he describes his background in music and entertainment. As the show winds down, Valerie Heath adds that Dr. Marissa Pei, Trevan, and a singer named Dane will also appear at the gala, and thanks everyone for still supporting Heaven on Earth Oasis after her own family passed away, calling the organization and its community her family now. Kimberly closes the show thanking Valerie warmly and encouraging listeners to follow Heaven on Earth Oasis on Instagram.

Raising Expectations with Pastor Joe Schofield

California's Fraud Epidemic, Broken Education Spending, and the Race for State Controller with Herb Morgan

Pastor Joe Schofield, with co-hosts Stephanie Thayer and Ron Greer, welcomes Herb Morgan, a finance executive running for California State Controller, for a deep dive into fraud, wasted spending, and broken promises in Sacramento, and what accountability could look like if voters choose him.

Opening Prayer and Team Introductions
Pastor Joe Schofield opens the Monday broadcast of Raising Expectations by thanking listeners for tuning in and restating that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for sins, so that expectations can rise in daily life. He introduces his team across the country: Dr. Paul Hall in Lompoc, California; his wife Melva, a graduate of Southwestern Seminary; Stephanie and Craig Thayer, newly returned from their anniversary trip in Dalton, Georgia; and Ron Greer in McKinney, Texas. Schofield tells listeners the program has been hearing from people in many states who are watching California's upcoming election closely. He then introduces the evening's guest, Herb Morgan, a candidate for California State Controller, describing him as phenomenal and quoting Morgan's own words that a controller should expect proof, show work, and respect the taxpayers who fund government. Schofield welcomes Morgan with applause and asks him to introduce himself before turning to questions on fraud, unclaimed property, and federal taxes.

Herb Morgan's Path to California and Finance Career
Herb Morgan tells the story of arriving in California on his first birthday in 1967, when his family drove across the country from the East Coast and stopped for a small birthday party at a rest stop before settling in Orange County. He describes attending public schools when California's system was ranked number one in the country, then graduating from the state's public university system before building a career in finance. Morgan says he founded and grew several companies, eventually selling his last one to a major Wall Street firm and serving nine years as its chief investment officer. He also volunteered twice to chair the San Diego City Employees' Retirement System, helping turn around a pension plan that had fallen into financial disarray. On a personal note, Morgan jokes that he has barely seen his wife, Mary, during the campaign as they approach their thirty-fifth wedding anniversary. Now retired from finance, he says it is his time to give back, asking Californians to put him in as controller.

The Scale of California's Budget and Affordability Crisis
Morgan lays out the scale of California's government, noting the state has 40 million people and 23 million voters, and that its economy would rank as the world's fourth largest if it were a nation. He says the state budget has nearly doubled in ten years, from about 180 billion to 352 billion dollars, a sum he illustrates by noting that 352 billion seconds would equal more than 11,000 years. Despite that wealth, Morgan says California ranks near the bottom of all states in affordability, citing gasoline near seven dollars a gallon, diesel approaching nine dollars, electricity double the national average, and homeowners' and health insurance costing more than anywhere else. Stephanie Thayer adds that her friends with ranches now have to choose whether they can afford to drive their diesel trucks. Morgan says new homes carry roughly two hundred thousand dollars in litigation, permit, and impact fees, and that the state ranks fiftieth in places to retire, start a career, public safety, and pollution, despite spending more per person than any other state.

Fraud, the Homeless-Industrial Complex, and Controller Powers
Morgan argues that California's rising spending has not produced results because of widespread fraud, describing research he conducted for gubernatorial running mate Steve Hilton that found 425 billion dollars wasted or lost over five years, based on the state auditor's own agency reports. He points to the homelessness programs as the clearest example, explaining that the state funds nonprofit agencies without requiring fund control or follow-up audits, and notes that the current state controller's own deputy was recorded admitting fraud is widespread and that politicians do not want it found. Morgan explains that the controller's constitutional duties include pre-auditing all state spending, post-auditing programs for performance, managing unclaimed property, and sitting on roughly seventy boards and commissions, including the Franchise Tax Board, the Coastal Commission, CalPERS, and CalSTRS. He contrasts his finance background with that of current controller Malia Cohen, a former mayoral aide and county supervisor whom he calls kind but inexperienced in audit and accounting work needed to protect the treasury from fraud.

Education Spending, the Corey Jackson Grants, and Jobless Numbers
Morgan turns to education, noting that 150 billion dollars of the state budget, or $27,411 per child, goes to K-through-12 schools under Proposition 98, yet California's fourth and eighth graders score below students in much lower-spending states like Mississippi. He blames administrative bloat and consultants, recalling that his daughter-in-law, a special education teacher, started the school year without even a desk. He contrasts that with Assembly Member Corey Jackson, who Morgan says directed 250,000 dollars, then six million dollars, to his own former nonprofit, which held a seminar featuring speaker Angela Davis. Stephanie Thayer says their own family has struggled to access special-education services despite the spending, and reflects that California's schools were excellent when her older children attended but declined sharply by the time her younger children reached school age. Morgan adds that Los Angeles Unified has lost tens of thousands of students to disenrollment, and that California's U6 unemployment rate of 10.1 percent is the nation's highest, with Los Angeles County reaching 12.1 percent.

Endorsements, a Caller's Question, and Closing Prayers
Morgan reports that polling shows a record 64.5 percent of Californians believe the state is on the wrong track, with fraud, not cost of living, cited most often as the reason, and that his push for an open-source spending database draws 95 percent public support. He says major newspaper groups, including the Sacramento Bee and the Orange County Register's publisher, have endorsed him, the only Republican among their choices. A caller asks how much real authority a controller has to make change, and Morgan answers that the office's constitutional powers, unlike those of elected offices the legislature can alter by statute, cannot be stripped, giving the controller sole access to every public entity's books. Stephanie Thayer closes the segment by directing listeners to bbsradio.com/raisingexpectations to follow Morgan's campaign and support the show, and Pastor Joe Schofield thanks Morgan, promises prayer for his campaign, and signs off for the night.

Sasha Talks with Sasha Laghonh

Crafting an Impactful Pitch: Do's, Don'ts and Pitching Etiquette for Radio and Podcasts

In this solo edition of Sasha Talks, host Sasha Laghonh breaks down how to craft an impactful pitch for any radio show, podcast or media platform, sharing real-life do's and don'ts drawn from years of reviewing submissions herself.

Setting The Stage For Pitch Etiquette
Sasha Laghonh opens the broadcast from sashatalks.com, telling listeners the hour builds on advice she has shared previously on her private platforms about submitting a pitch to any community, network, radio station or host. She notes that terms of service and disclaimers apply, and that she speaks only from her own professional and personal experience as an independent contributor, not on behalf of BBS Radio Network. Having received pitches through many channels worldwide, she says she has seen plenty worth emulating alongside pitching etiquette and behaviors she discourages on any platform, in any capacity, on any continent. She promises listeners real-life examples of do's and vague real-life examples of don'ts before diving in. Recalling a lesson from a mentor years ago, she repeats that everything in life has a function, and if it lacks function, it doesn't matter. A pitch, she explains, is a chance to make an impression and share a preview of who you are and what you do, but it only matters if you let it.

Reading The Form Before You Submit
Sasha walks listeners through what she looks for when an open call or opportunity appears, whether posted on a website, mentioned in a magazine, or found on a show page. She urges candidates to study the format and requirements before filling anything out, asking whether there are guidelines or prerequisites and whether every field truly gets completed. She describes a recurring frustration: people rush through an entire form, check a box admitting they did not read the rules, then submit anyway, which she treats as an automatic delete. Pitches have come her way in the five figures, she says, and she deletes a large majority, by her estimate 65 to 70 percent, often without reading them fully. She explains how her own show's submission form works, noting that any blank required field shows up as incomplete on her end and gets discarded. Filling out the candidate's actual name matters too, she says, since agencies and representatives sometimes submit on someone else's behalf without making that relationship clear, leaving the eventual guest confused about who contacted them.

Terms, Availability, And Lending Your Voice
Sasha moves into the mechanics of a strong submission, encouraging a brief bio rather than a full life story, since a short overview helps a host judge fit quickly and narrows down scheduling against the show's own availability. She distinguishes complimentary community engagements from pay-to-play arrangements, cautioning that paying for access never guarantees acceptance and that a dignified pitch aligned with the host's genre still matters either way. She highlights the question most pitches skip entirely: whether the candidate explicitly accepts the terms of service and disclaimers that make the appearance a mutually beneficial, protected collaboration. Turning to the idea of lending one's voice and image, she explains that guests who appear on dozens of other podcasts sometimes balk when a station's terms spell out, in writing, that their voice and likeness will be used to promote the episode. She tells such reluctant guests plainly that declining to grant that permission defeats the purpose of pitching at all, since an interview cannot run on silence.

The Three Elements Every Pitch Needs
Sasha breaks down what she considers the basics of a well-built pitch: a premise, a frame of reference and a clear objective. The premise, she says, is the foundation that sets the focus of a proposed interview within its limited start and end time, and she faults many submitters for offering their whole life story instead of a single thread. The frame of reference asks how the proposed topic actually connects to the network or genre being pitched, and she contrasts long rambling pitches with one-line notes that simply say "include me as a contributor," both of which she deletes without hesitation. She compares a pitch lacking that connection to announcing you went to the bathroom without saying what happened afterward. The objective, she explains, is the optimal goal of the engagement, whether promoting a brand, continuing an educational conversation or resuming a prior professional dialogue. She singles out Hollywood brush-in encounters as one of the most overrated pitch themes she sees globally, since a passing celebrity sighting rarely carries enough substance to fill a 45- to 60-minute conversation.

The Do's: Manners, Patience, And Opportunity
Sasha offers a run of practical do's for anyone on the pitching circuit. Good manners, she insists, go a long way regardless of title or status, and exercising decorum when filling out a form shows respect for the time of everyone involved. She recounts a story from years ago of a male candidate with genuinely useful survival and prosperity content who, after being followed up on about a skipped question, responded with a multi-page written tirade; she deleted it after two sentences and treats the memory as proof that bad behavior is remembered no matter how far someone climbs. She encourages candidates to give every engagement their best, describing her own experience as a guest on major-market live radio where a strong five-minute appearance led a producer to invite her back weeks later for another slot. Being yourself, having fun without ego, and communicating promptly if an emergency prevents an appearance round out her list, alongside a reminder that pitching is a collaboration, not a transaction where the guest holds more leverage than the host.

The Don'ts, AI Warnings, And Closing
Turning to what to avoid, Sasha lists no shaming, no hating and no preaching, reminding candidates they will sometimes share a panel with strangers they may not personally like and must still remain respectful for the sake of the collaboration. She distinguishes aggressiveness, which she calls a neutral characteristic that can be mindfully channeled, from abrasiveness, which carries its own negative side effects. She warns candidates not to take it personally if a host does not recognize their name, noting there are billions of people on the planet and that anonymity can sometimes work in a new candidate's favor. Her strongest caution concerns artificial intelligence: she tells listeners to write their own pitches rather than rely on AI, since an obvious gap between a polished pitch and an unprepared guest gives any show the right to cut an interview short, and misrepresenting yourself wastes everyone's time. She closes by inviting writers, speakers and guests to visit sashatalks.com and the BBS Radio Network page to submit a profile, signing off for the week wishing listeners to be good, safe and blessed.

Ask the Angel with Rachel Corpus

A Live Paranormal Investigation of the Historic Gabriel House with Shade

Rachel Corpus broadcasts live from the haunted Gabriel House in Des Moines with her husband Ed and artist-intuitive Shade, testing paranormal tools and tracing the mansion's history ahead of an overnight investigation fundraiser.

Broadcasting From a Haunted House
Rachel Corpus opens the broadcast with a wink, warning listeners that if the signal glitches tonight it might be the unusual Wi-Fi or it might be the ghosts, because the show is originating live from the historic Gabriel House in Des Moines, in the Union Park neighborhood near the Des Moines River. She explains that she and her husband, Ed, once lived in another haunted historic home and promises that story for another night. Tonight's focus is the Gabriel House itself, and she introduces her friend Shade, an artist and intuitive who has produced art shows at the house and now works with owner David Barzen on events, including ghost investigations. Corpus tells callers lighting up her phone that she will not be taking calls this week, asking for grace, and teases an overnight live-streamed investigation of the house's basement and attic, nicknamed the witch's hat, planned as a fundraiser later in the month.

Paranormal Tools and the REM-Pod
Behind Corpus and Shade sits a rocking chair holding a REM-Pod, a device that lights up when a spirit's energy disturbs its field, and Corpus demonstrates it for listeners while asking any presence in the room to touch it. Ed arrives from work and shows off his newest gadget, a parabolic microphone that gathers sound from across a room and feeds it into Corpus's Yeti microphone so any spirit voice would be heard on air. Corpus also displays a K-II meter, which flashes with electromagnetic activity and doubles as a way to rule out ordinary electronics, and a spirit box, which scans radio frequencies so that spirits can allegedly borrow the static to form words. She says the spirit box will mostly wait for the planned overnight investigation because of how loud it is, but promises listeners a taste of it later in the broadcast once the historical background of the house is covered.

The Gilded Age Lumber Baron's House
Corpus walks through what she has learned about the Gabriel House, built in 1890 for Rees Gabriel, described as the lumber baron of Iowa for owning thirty-seven lumber yards and supplying materials across the state. Gabriel bought architectural plans from the George Barber Company of Knoxville, Tennessee, then hired another firm to add extra closets and the turret room Shade calls the witch's hat. Corpus wonders aloud whether the tower was built simply to watch the Des Moines River or, since 1890 sat squarely in the age of spiritualism, to hold séances, noting that houses of that era sometimes used round rooms because, as Shade puts it, spirits cannot hide in a corner. Corpus names Gabriel's wife, Jennie Brewer Gabriel, and their four daughters, Jennie, Grace, Myrtle and Blanche, while admitting she could not find much about Gabriel's personal character beyond his evident attention to detail and business.

A Dark Entity Named Hiccup
Shade shares a story a former roommate told her about the bedroom where she and Corpus are now sitting. One past resident lived in that room while another man spent most of his time in the basement, widely assumed to be doing drugs, though he insisted he was instead saving souls by communicating with a dark entity he called Hiccup. Shade says the roommate found strange, hand-painted numbered bricks on the basement floor, apparently marking the souls that man believed the entity had claimed, lettering that looks playful and modern rather than like a craftsman's signature. Corpus says she senses the basement has absorbed decades of amateur séances and Ouija board sessions dating to the nineteen-sixties, calling it an open door that can let something in. She says she is trained to handle whatever is down there and does not know yet whether the entity and the Gabriel family are connected.

Readings, Keys, and a Child in the Closet
Corpus invites any presence, especially the Gabriel family, to use the REM-Pod or Ed's microphone, and the devices begin spiking, especially near Ed, prompting jokes that he has no soul to possess. Running the spirit box briefly, the group hears what sounds like footsteps on the servant stairs and a small, childlike voice, which Shade had also heard earlier near the kitchen along with a jangling sound like keys, leading Corpus to sense someone searching for a missing set. Using dowsing rods, Corpus gets a yes to a little boy she says she glimpsed crouched in a closet earlier, the same presence she once felt touch her shoulders in the downstairs bathroom years ago, though she cautions that something lower vibrational can sometimes disguise itself as a child to gain sympathy. Ed offers that spirits may simply not realize they have died or are unwilling to leave a life they enjoyed.

Crossing Over Souls and the Fundraiser Ahead
Corpus explains her belief that a haunting is only a fractal sliver of a soul rather than the whole, so crossing a spirit over reunites that piece with the rest of them, which she says is the opposite of paranormal businesses that forbid investigators from crossing spirits over to keep a location marketable as haunted. She and Shade say their own approach stays prayerful and judgment-free toward other investigators while refusing to work that way themselves. Corpus then details the upcoming overnight fundraiser investigation at the Gabriel House on the 23rd and 24th of October, livestreamed for those who cannot attend, with in-person spots limited and available for a three-hundred-dollar donation covering four hours, proceeds going toward the house's water bill and repairs. Shade adds that the carriage house is being restored into an Airbnb and that seasonal art shows there support local musicians and artists. Corpus closes thanking Shade and Ed and reminding listeners to keep their halo straight.
