Greg Carlwood opens the first live Higher Side Chats podcast in San Diego, thanking the audience for navigating the "Rockefeller Rothschild debt-based system." He introduces the lineup of guests and collaborators including Steve Lee, Jimmy Dore, Eddie Bravo, and Sam Tripoli. Carlwood acknowledges the transition from his private studio to a public stage at the Ice House in Pasadena.

Steve Lee joins the stage at the Ice House in Pasadena, the oldest comedy club in the world. The discussion centers on the historical role of the jester as the only person allowed to speak truth to the king. References are made to Bill Hicks and George Carlin as pioneers who blended comedy with uncomfortable truths.

Steve Lee recounts a traumatic experience involving bad LSD during his college years in Tempe, Arizona. He describes hallucinating melting people and demons in a dorm bathroom while listening to the band Portishead. This event led to his belief in alternate dimensions and a lingering suspicion that certain music involves witchcraft or entity channeling.
