Topic: Knife Of God

The Higherside Chats reached its 15th anniversary, prompting a shift away from a strictly interview-based format. In December 2025, a series of unusual events occurred, including one guest suffering a medical emergency, another canceling for a larger platform, and a third experiencing performance anxiety during the recording. These incidents, combined with high ratings for solo presentations like the Charlie Kirk and Knife of God segments, served as a signal to move toward more independent content creation.

Carlwood discusses the surprising success of his recent solo presentation on the "Knife of God" and cattle mutilations, which resulted in a significant spike in THC Plus subscriptions. He contemplates creating a sub-brand for these solo episodes, such as "THC Cliff Tokes" or "Dead Man's Book Club." He mentions a conversation with Gordon White regarding the metaphysical approach to these phenomena.
