Brian Tuohy recounts a tip from a purported former CIA agent regarding the 1972 Olympic gold medal basketball game between the US and the Soviet Union. The source claimed the KGB kidnapped a referee's family to ensure a Soviet victory. Tuohy notes that his FOIA request to the CIA resulted in a "Glomar response," neither confirming nor denying the existence of such records.

The host references a 1972 event at West Point where demonologists were invited to conduct a seance and lecture on entities. Speculation is raised regarding whether paranormal activity on military bases is the result of sacred geography or "deep state" paramilitary experiments dabbling in the occult. Additional sightings of a female apparition in basement windows are noted from the same era.

Patrick Jordan directs listeners to 1972 World Health Organization memos that he claims describe how to create vaccines as biological weapons. These documents allegedly detail methods for suppressing the immune systems of lab animals to load them with viruses. Jordan links this to the "cytokine storm" seen in the 1918 flu epidemic, where a sudden immune reactivation caused the body to attack its own infected cells, leading to rapid death.

Rick Simpson recounts how the death of his cousin in 1972 and a 1975 radio report about a Virginia Medical School study shaped his path. The study proved that THC kills cancer cells, yet the U.S. government kept the plant as a Schedule I substance. Simpson points out the hypocrisy of the government filing medicinal patents on cannabis in 2003 while simultaneously claiming it has no medical value.

The 1972 film "The Legend of Boggy Creek" popularized the Fouke Monster, a hairy, aggressive creature reported in southwestern Arkansas. Blackburn explains that the movie was based on real reports from the 1960s and 1970s, though sightings in the region continue into the present day. His research into the case uncovered previously unknown details that contributed to his book's success.
