They host \"An Impromptu Truth\" on YouTube and they are here to share some of their wildest experiences. From an NDE (near-death experience) to hauntings and bigfoot sightings, these two have had their share of weirdness. But we spend half the show dissecting their 2003 abduction incident when both James and Mike, along with their cousin, were abducted and forever changed. Their abduction is an ongoing situation that they are still dealing with to this day. Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!
