    242: Jessica sensed disaster coming

    09/1/2026 | 1h 19 mins.
    Have you ever had a feeling of impending doom? Like you just knew
    something bad was about to happen?

    Quite
    a few years ago, I was in New York City. I went with a friend to a
    late comedy show, and when it was over we got on the subway to get
    back to the hotel. This was pretty late, like 2 am or maybe even
    later. We were on the train, waiting for the doors to close.
    Personally, I was feeling fine. But my friend, Teri, was more aware
    of our surroundings. There were a few other people on the train and
    she did not feel comfortable at all. She said that we needed to get
    off the train before the doors closed. So we did.

    I
    didn’t get it at the time. But Teri just had this bad feeling that
    something was about to happen and it was not going to turn out well
    for us. But whatever it was, we took a taxi instead and got back
    safely.

    My
    guest today is Jessica. She is an avid rock climber out in the
    Pacific Northwest. She was involved in setting up a climbing event
    for hundreds of people, and she just kept having this feeling that
    something was very wrong. And she was right.

    241: Victoria's dad kept a secret

    02/1/2026 | 1h 6 mins.
    Not
    everyone likes surprises.

    Personally,
    I love being surprised – as long as it’s a GOOD surprise. And
    even more than that, I love surprising people and just seeing their
    reaction.

    About
    3-4 years ago, I got what I think is the biggest surprise of my life.
    At that time, my dad had been gone for about 6 or 7 years. And one
    night my mom invited all the family over for a game night at her
    place. This happens all the time, so nothing unusual. But while we
    were all there, she made an announcement that, at age 80, she was
    going to get married again. I never saw it coming. But it has worked
    out great. Jim and my dad were actually best friends for most of
    their lives. Jim’s wife had passed away a few years earlier, so…
    it really all made sense. And it made for a crazy and wonderful
    surprise for all of us.

    Today
    you’ll hear about a surprise that Victoria got one day, from a
    former neighbor. It was about her dad, and it was not a good
    surprise.

    Victoria
    told this story on the podcast about 4 years ago, and after our
    conversation you’ll hear an update on what has happened with her
    family – and her dad – since then.

    This
    episode contains discussion of child sexual assault. Listener
    discretion is advised.
