Dad's Favorite UFO sighting

2026/01/30

My dad walks me through the Navy’s “Tic Tac” UFO sighting — the encounter that made him take UFOs seriously. He explains what pilots reported seeing, why this incident stands out, and why he thinks it matters. I try to follow his logic and keep him on track as the conversation does what it usually does. This episode isn’t about proving anything — it’s about how my dad understands the story.

The Topic's First Episode (Full Ep)

2026/01/23

We are finally back together with a whole new season covering my Dad's new obsession, UFOs and the paranormal! He is here to convince me that aliens are real in hopes that it will cure my fear of death. Not sure how this will actually help but I'm up for the ride. This episode we discuss why we are doing this, the most prodomenment people bringing this topic to light and what my Dad thinks UFOs really are. Each week on 'The Topic' we will be covering a new UFO topic while I try to desperately get my Dad to stay on 'Topic'. If you want to witness this chaos subscribe to us on youtube.com/nikkibon

AL-ANON IS KEY w/ Harper-Rose Drummond

2023/07/29

When you have a fun cool dad that parties and does drugs with you at concerts and a mom who turns into a cruel Disney witch when she drinks, what you gonna do? GO TO AL-ANON! That's what has helped today's guest, Harper, who just recently has healed from the chaos of parents with substance abuse.

INVINCIBLE DAD w/ Mav Viola

2023/07/07

The amount of times Mav's dad has failed at attempted suicide is dramatically humerus at this point. He's invincible. You gotta laugh at the dark stuff to get by and Mav did just that to stay sane. In order to cope with her parents Mav had to live by the mantra and persona of being an "everything's fine" person. And that has stabbed her in the back.

HONESTY’S THE WORST POLICY w/ Noah Findling

2023/06/23

Even though Noah has good parents, he still wound up in jail because of following his Dad's cardinal rule "honesty is the best policy" and to never lie. The big lesson here is: 1) there's no such thing as perfect parents. 2) don't EVER tell the cops the truth when it comes to drugs. And 3) sometimes too much support can make your kid ill prepared for the reality of this cruel and manipulative world.

GRANDMA KNOWS BEST W/ AUSTIN TRAIN

2023/05/26

This one's a doozy. Comedian Austin Train was raised by his grandma who is still with us today. Thank god. Austin joins me to talk about his complicated relationship with his mom who has always put herself first and his distant dad who's trying to make it right.

PARENTAL JAILBIRDS W/ Melanie Mary

2023/05/05

Melanie Mary's mom went to jail the same time her dad was getting out. And now she is confronting her abandonment issues by taking her life into her own hands and putting herself first for once. Looking after parents when they haven't looked after you your whole life is something many abandoned children struggle with and face resentment. I'm guilty of it. But in Melanie's case, she has been taking care of her mom with stage four cancer, only to learn that her mom will never be the mom she wants her to bye. This is why we're comics.

DAD WHO CRIED WOLF w/ LARA

2023/04/07

This one is a wild one. Lara's dad plays dead just so she will come and visit him and tend to his needs. Most kids grow up playing pretend with their parents but in Lara's case it wasn't to entertain her childlike imagination, but to calm her dad down from his hallucinations. From pretending to pick glass out of his arm to calling the fake FBI, Lara has always been catering to her dads opioid addiction and hypochondriac paranoia. Meanwhile, dealing with a mom that doesn't exude the most loving energy.

PRESSURES OF BEING A PERFECT DAUGHTER w/ Kelly Ryan

2023/03/16

Kelly was my ideal guest because she lets it all out with tears and yelling. YES! A true comedian and great daughter. Even though she has a great relationship with her parents she still got a little screwed up. Trying to maintain the peace, being mindful of her parents feelings and feeling guilty for her flaws, Kelly works hard at being a perfect daughter. But it will never be enough. As she explains, aka erupts, in this episode. Even when you come from a solid family it can take a lot to maintain that happiness and we end up parenting our parents. Follow Kelly https://www.instagram.com/thisiskellyryan/?hl=en

THE MOTHER LOAD w/ Zach Stein

2023/02/23

Physically abused by his mom, sent to disciplinary boarding schools and outdoor wilderness programs for troubled kids, Zach has been through all the discipline. Being the youngest, Zach endured a lot more anger from his mom and was still able to forgive her. Talk about working on yourself and coming out on top!

MOTHER’S BETRAYAL: Part 2 w/ ROB

2023/01/21

The women who took everything, his moms. You thought Rob's dad was bad? Wait until you hear what his stepmom AND birth mom did once his dad was gone. Just when Rob was doing well in school and starting to land on his feat, both of the women in his life abandon, betray and steal from him. This is ep is a two parter because there are truly two key chapters in Rob's life where his parental figures f***d him over. Through the help of Rob's teachers and his own persistence, he overcame his family hurdles and turned out pretty damn good.

DON’T WAKE DADDY w/ ROB SMALLWOOD (Part 1)

2023/01/12

"Do you want the long or short version of how I almost killed my father" Comedian Rob Smallwood was pushed to the limit by his abusive father. And when it was time to defend his family he almost took his dads life. Just when he thought he was in the clear and on his way to live a normal life, his mom and stepmom did him dirty. There are two significant chapters in his life that his parents f***'d him over so this ep is a two parter. This week is about how Rob's dad. Next week, we cover how his mom and stepmom both stole his college opportunities and money.

FORGIVE AND FORGET w/ ERIKA BRYANT

2022/12/17

Erika's mom left her at the age of 6 to go find herself. And despite everything, Erika has been able to forgive and reestablish a close relationship with her mom later in life. She shares how she discovered and got over her codependency, love bombs and unhealthy relationships. This Author, Executive Producer and Show Runner (AKA POWERHOUSE) has overcome her abandonment issues in a way I've never considered before. I highly recommend her book "Doing It Scared" https://www.amazon.com/stores/erika-bryant/author/B08W2DLFYR?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true

PARANOID PARENTS w/ BEN HERWITZ

2022/12/02

Ben's smothering and paranoid parents pushed him to rebel in the most extreme way. Prostitutes, stealing and gambling was how he coped with pretending to be perfect for so long. Ben had to set boundaries in order to get back on track. But there's a family secret that would probably help solve a lot of the issues. His daddy's disowned and won't say why. Which clearly comes out in his anger issues. Follow Ben www.instagram.com/benherwitzcomedian And check out his new podcast Ben The Menace

WHEN YOUR DAD’S CHEATING w/ JULIA AUSTIN

2022/11/04

Comedian Julia Austin became a teenage detective when she caught her dad having a provocative phone call with someone other than her mom. That's when she was determined to catch him in the act. Julia talks about the lengths she went to, to get encourage her parents to get a divorce and the impact her Dad's affair had on her physical health. Now that her dad is with the "other woman", Julia and her siblings are a second thought compared to the pretty pretty princess that broke up her family. But that didn't stop Julia from having such a healthy and grounded outlook on the situation. Julia should write a self help book about how to look past your parents flaws. This girl is smart as F***.
