Summary

A futuristic showdown between man-made intelligence and ancient beasts — this live episode dives into the blurred line between technology and the supernatural. From AI robots and self-driving trucks to cryptids breaching realms, the moon landing hoax, and what’s coming next — we’re pulling back The Thin Veil of Reality.

Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!
