  • Great show

    Interesting guests. I see people complaining but it sounds like liberal whining. Also complaining about cursing? Go listen to some church podcast then grandma. This guy gets odd people to share their unique views and it’s entertaining.

When “I Love You” Comes Too Late with Nacya Marreiro (#248)
Q: You mentioned something about hard term back where we were. What was this near-death experience you had?
When I was 16, I used to surf. I got in the ocean with the wrong board and I got pulled under the waves. I realized I was going to drown, but then I felt a strange calmness and floated toward light.
When “I Love You” Comes Too Late with Nacya Marreiro (#248)
Q: What's the deal with the rest of your family? Do you have other family?
Yeah, I have a mom and a brother. They don't talk about emotions. In my family, we don't say sorry and we don't talk about emotions.
When “I Love You” Comes Too Late with Nacya Marreiro (#248)
Q: What did that feel like? Because if it's the first time you hear that, and then it's the last time you hear that, I feel like that's a weird contradiction.
No, because my dad had a very tough life. So like I don't blame him. I'm not upset with him. Like he did the best he could.
Is There Life After Death? Psychic Medium Matt Fraser on Signs & Proof (#249)
Q: How do we encourage visitation from spirits?
You invite them by being open and asking loved ones or guides for help, letting them know you are ready to receive their signs and messages.
Is There Life After Death? Psychic Medium Matt Fraser on Signs & Proof (#249)
Q: Do we feel pain and regret for transgressions in our life during the life review?
The life review is not a punitive experience; instead, it's a reflective one where individuals can see their life as a whole and learn from it.
