The Raven: 008 - Ernesto, Nooo!
Update: 2025-12-01
Description
Step inside another wild episode of The Raven, coming to you live from The Standard Coffee Shop in Lady Lake, Florida. In this one, David breaks down the weekend chaos, Bro Grove updates, behind-the-scenes Patreon moments, spiritual reflections, and the now-legendary story of Ernesto the Blind Hog — a creature who stole the spotlight in the most… unexpected way.
We talk community, faith, the evolving heart of Bro Grove, building genuine connection with the NDS family, redesigning sponsorships the right way, and what it looks like when God is steering the ship. This episode mixes comedy, honesty, fatherhood moments, church revelations, and the raw truth you expect from Nephilim Death Squad.
Plus: a cameo from a pig with a mortgage, a porch swing, and zero shame.
