In the first hour, food safety coach Jeff Nelken shared Thanksgiving and holiday tips regarding meal preparation and food handling. He emphasized the importance of using a thermometer to monitor food and refrigerator temperatures, which should be at 40 degrees or below to prevent bacterial growth. He advised against leaving the refrigerator door open for extended periods and reheating leftovers to at least 165 degrees to kill bacteria.
Providing detailed guidance on preventing cross-contamination in the kitchen, he suggested using color-coded cutting boards —green for vegetables, red for raw meat, and yellow for chicken. "Once you start seeing those knife marks, that's where the bacteria now can get into those grooves," he warned, underscoring the importance of maintaining smooth surfaces on both wooden and plastic boards to avoid bacterial buildup. Nelken also addressed household cleaning practices, advising weekly refrigerator cleaning with natural solutions such as baking soda and vinegar to prevent bacterial growth. He highlighted vigilance in food and beverage safety, urging consumers to scrutinize bottled water labels, as well as stay informed about food recalls.

In the middle two hours, C2C's investigative reporter Cheryll Jones presented her interview with astronomer and analyst for MUFON, Marc Dantonio, who shared insights from his extensive work investigating space mysteries and UFO phenomena. Dantonio, who operates a network of remote observatories streaming live sky tours globally, discussed his journey from a childhood "missing time" experience to becoming MUFON's chief photo and video analyst. He described the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS as "definitely different from other comets," with an unusual abundance of carbon dioxide, and said it was possibly 7 billion years old, predating our sun's 4.6 billion years, suggesting it has traveled through the galaxy for millions of years.
He commented on Planet X or Nibiru doomsday theories, dismissing them based on orbital mechanics: "There's no other hidden mass out there... it would already be upsetting all of the orbits." Dantonio also debunked the viral "jellyfish UFO" video as a cluster of Mylar and latex balloons. Yet, he recounted unexplained phenomena captured by his all-sky cameras, including an object making a sharp 40-degree turn mid-flight, which "to this day I can't explain."
Dantonio told Cheryll of his personal encounter aboard a Navy submarine, where sonar operators detected "fast movers" traveling at several hundred knots underwater —speeds far beyond known technology. He pointed out that such incidents have been reported across multiple navies for decades and remain largely classified. He praised the current congressional hearings as an unprecedented step toward UFO transparency but criticized the continued heavy classification of data. During the third hour, he took live calls with George and Cheryll. In the last hour of the show, George featured 'Gratitude' Open Lines and an excerpt from his 2014 interview with investigative mythologist William Henry on the 'Watchers.'
