We’re back in The O-Files—and this one is pure nostalgia, chaos, and a little bit of glitter-covered history.

I’m sitting down with Nick Opp, former Odyssey bar manager during my most formative (and slightly feral) years, to revisit the bar that somehow became everything. We get into how he went from first-time baby gay walking through those doors… to running the place during its final era—and what it actually felt like to be part of something that big, that messy, and that meaningful.

We talk nightlife before phones, the music that defined a generation, the energy you truly can’t recreate, and that final night that everyone still carries with them. Plus, Nick’s life after The Odyssey—murals, nostalgia tees, AI music experiments, and the return of his drag persona Sigourney Beaver (yes, born on that stage).

This one is about memory, community, and the spaces that shape you long after they’re gone.

If you were there, you already know. If you weren’t… welcome to the myth. ✨

We’re closing out this UFO deep dive (for now… because let’s be real, this rabbit hole never ends) with the stories that actually got to us—the encounters that feel a little too consistent, a little too witnessed, and a little too real to just brush off.

From the mass sighting of the Phoenix Lights to the chilling Brazil incident, to schoolchildren in Zimbabwe describing the same unexplainable experience… we’re talking about the moments that shift UFOs from “fun theory” to wait… what is actually going on?

Plus, we spiral (naturally) into government cover-ups, missing scientists, ancient texts, and the unsettling question: what if the truth is way stranger than aliens?

If you’ve been along for this series, this is where it all lands. And if you’re new—welcome, you’re already in too deep.

Sweet dreams 👽✨

We’ve talked about UFOs… now it’s time to ask the real question: who’s actually flying them?

In this episode, Peter and Jess go fully down the rabbit hole—breaking down the most well-known (and controversial) alien species, from the Greys and Reptilians to Pleiadians, Blue Avians, and beyond.

What do they supposedly look like? Where do they come from? And which stories might actually hold a kernel of truth?

This is the woo-woo side of UFOs—no proof, no conclusions, just curiosity, skepticism, and a lot of wild theories.

For decades, UFOs lived on the fringe—dismissed, mocked, and written off as conspiracy. So how did we get from Roswell in 1947 to Pentagon programs, Navy pilot footage, and Congressional hearings?

In this episode, Peter and returning guest Jess break down the modern history of UFOs (now called UAPs), separating what’s been confirmed from what’s still speculation. From Project Blue Book to the Tic Tac incident and whistleblower testimony, they trace the timeline that brought this topic out of the shadows and into the halls of government.

This isn’t about convincing you of anything—it’s about understanding what’s actually happened… and why it’s getting harder to ignore

What happens when you go from posting content online… to getting millions of views — and Courtney Love herself is watching?

In this episode, I sit down with Nick Cisnero, whose Courtney Love–inspired content has exploded across TikTok and Instagram, racking up over 5 million views and catching the attention of the icon herself.

We talk about the creative process behind his videos, what it actually feels like to go viral overnight, and the surreal moment when the person who inspired your work starts engaging with it. We also get into the pressure, the momentum, and how quickly everything can change when the internet decides you’re the moment.

If you’ve ever wondered what viral fame really looks like behind the scenes — this one’s for you.

What does it actually feel like to watch your friend go from acting school to reality TV… to falling in love on screen?

In this episode, I sit down with Kirkland Douglas — entrepreneur, farmer, and reality TV personality from Farming for Love and The Traitors Canada — to talk about the full-circle moment of seeing someone you know step into the spotlight.

We get into how much the entertainment industry has changed (especially for queer and Indigenous representation), what it’s really like behind the scenes of reality TV, and why fame isn’t quite what it seems. But more than anything, this is a conversation about identity, growth, and what it means to see someone live out a version of life you once dreamed about together.

It’s honest, a little nostalgic, and a reminder of how far things have come — both on screen and off.

For most of my twenties, partying wasn’t just something I did — it was who I was.

Clubs four nights a week. Music. Drugs. Dancing until the lights came on. I found inspiration there. I found community there. I also found confusion there.

So when I got an email from someone calling himself The Party Coach, I was intrigued — and skeptical.

In this episode, I sit down with Evan Cudworth, who has built his work around one central question: Why do we struggle to connect — and what role does partying actually play in that?

This conversation goes deeper than I expected.

We talk about:

• What partying really means beyond drugs and alcohol
• The idea of “social fitness” — and why we’ve lost the reps
• Dopamine, social media, and our addiction to digital validation
• Cocaine, nostalgia, and the thin line between transcendence and numbness
• Whether Gen Z is missing something essential — or just evolving differently
• And the uncomfortable idea that maybe we’ve overcorrected into safety

Evan doesn’t preach sobriety. He doesn’t glamorize chaos. And I don’t agree with everything he says.

But I do believe this: something has shifted in how we gather, how we connect, and how we let ourselves feel alive in a room full of strangers.

This episode is about unpacking that shift — honestly.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your wild years were reckless or sacred… this one might resonate.

Before Grindr.

Before curated identities.

Before “community” lived in a group chat.

There was The Odyssey.

In this edition of The O-Files, Peter sits down with drag icon Robin Graves to revisit Davie Street in its heyday — when queer spaces weren’t optional, they were survival.

They talk about:

• The Odyssey as a “third place” — not just a bar, but a lifeline
• Cruising before apps and connection before algorithms
• The unspoken rule that drag queens didn’t date (and why that changed)
• The generational shift — why older gays feel the need to be around other gay men, and why younger people might not
• And why preserving queer micro-history matters more than we think

Because if we don’t tell the stories of the back rooms, the dance floors, and the queens who built it — they disappear.

And when our spaces vanish, something in us goes with them.
