B
Well, we just.
D
That's the name of our series.
C
In this episode, this bonus episode, we interview Kai Dickens, our very first remote guest ever. Yeah. So it was very strange for us to do this.
D
Yes. She just released. For those who don't know, Kai Dickens. She's the one who created and narrates telepathy tapes that went viral last year.
C
Talked about multiple times.
D
Yes. So much. And she just released her season two, so please go listen to it. And their team reached out and said, hey, we'd love to, you know, have. Sit you and Kai down. And we did. And it's a quick convo, but it's good. A lot of good stuff in there.
C
Yeah, a lot of good stuff. We obviously differ on some stuff spiritually, but I mean, it's always important to hear people's thoughts on everything. And she's. She's in it. She's doing all the tests and whatnot, experiencing all these things. So some crazy stuff you're gonna hear, especially towards the end.
D
Yes, absolutely wild. So stay tuned, buckle up, grab a drink, grab a seat and get comfy, folks.
B
Okay.
C
And we're going. Huh.
B
Well, I guess I Mean, you go whenever you want. I'm just.
D
We're live with Kai Dickens from Telepathy Tapes. Hey guys, thank you so much for joining us and sitting down with us and talking with us because we are so excited about your new season that apparently has dropped already, right?
B
Yeah, yeah, we're onto our fifth episode. So we're a little less than halfway through.
C
Heck yeah. I just discovered that literally probably an hour before this interview, I'm like, I am so excited for this second season. And I looked, I'm like, oh my gosh, it's already out.
B
Ah, yeah, it's been going great. We're really excited about. Really expands the universe, if you will.
C
Heck yeah.
D
That's awesome. How long did this season take you guys to build?
B
Quite a while. I mean, almost a year, you know, and because each episode looks at something into something else we might have dismissed. Right. So we do deep dive into, you know, there's different non speakers. So one of you know, we do a deep dive into can you communicate with plants to near death experiences to mediumship and can that be validated in a lab to animal communication and energy healing and psychedelics and you know, really do a deep like historical, scientific, an experiential dive into all of these things. A lot of the non speakers become more of a guide or teacher than, you know, trying to break the paradigm through the question of whether or not telepathy is real.
C
Wow, fascinating. Before we dive into it, we actually wanted to test your telepathy skills if you're down for it.
B
Oh, wow. Okay. I don't know if I have telepathy skills, but sure.
C
You've been hanging around a lot of people with telepathy.
D
You're the expert.
B
Yeah, right.
C
All right, so you ready?
B
Yeah. Okay, let's do it.
C
There's an image behind Andy. This is Andy. We're wondering if you can picture what this image is and guess.
B
Butterfly.
C
Very close. It's actually the Hamburglar. So we'll actually, we'll give you one more shot.
D
Just a little off. We have one more.
C
One more. Once you really, really hone it in, Kai.
B
Okay.
C
What do you think is behind Andy?
B
An octopus.
C
That was even closer. It's actually my uncle dressed as a Hamburglar.
B
So, so hilarious.
D
So close.
C
He's in prison now.
D
Yeah.
C
That wasn't my uncle. I don't know who that was. I just found it on Google.
D
He's definitely in prison though.
B
Look at him. Yeah, that guy for sure.
C
Oh no. This is awesome. This is super cool. We talked about Your show, your first season, so much on our podcast, I was obsessed with the first season.
D
Did you expect the season to blow up like you did? Like, when you were making it, when you were putting it together? Did you expect that to be this popular?
B
Okay, well, it's interesting because, you know, while I was crafting it as a film, you know, for like four years, I was trying to build it as a docu series. And I thought, this is the most important story I've ever told. And I felt like it was groundbreaking for the world. And, you know, when I talk about it, when I'd be working on other projects, like, I directed a short film in that time, I was out on the festival circuit with a different film. And like, whenever I talk about this one in a Q and A, it's like where all the attention went. So I thought, okay, this is resonates, like people want to hear this. But then when I pitched it to, you know, all of Hollywood basically said no to the idea. Like, they couldn't. You know, there was like, no mandate that it fit into. It wasn't true crime. Like, what category was it? Like it. That was just so demoralizing because then I thought, was it all wrong? Like, did I completely not get what this was? You know, so the podcast was really my last resort since I couldn't get the doc made. I mean, now it's being made, but so. So I always felt my heart that this was like a big deal and that it would resonate with people. Um, and I. So I never doubted that. And I. And I think. And I trusted so deeply like, that the parents and the non speakers were speaking truth and that they deserve to be heard and that people be very interested. But, you know, I didn't think it would go to number one or anything like that. Like, that was all just completely. It's still. I haven't processed it, I don't think, you know, fascinating.
C
How long did you take in between the first season and the filming of the second season? Was there a gap or.
B
Yeah.
C
Was it just a continuous.
B
Yeah, yeah. So it's like in 2022, I was like, chugging, like, like, you know, visiting a few different non speakers, like doing like my own, like, homespun telepathy test to figure out if there was like, proof of concept, if this was real, if, like this was worth putting my reputation and time and investment behind and started a bunch of interviews. And then it's just like, you know, when I couldn't get it funded and it didn't go anywhere that's when I took all of that footage and made the podcast. But then when the podcast was released, it was so wonderful because so many, you know, donors and funders and people stepped up and were like, yes, we want to help you get this made without. And independently, you know, without being noted to death by executives or whatever it is. And so then I'd say this year, after the podcast really took off, I'd say in April, we started filming full time and now we're in post production and the film will be out next spring. So it's exciting.
C
Awesome. That's super cool.
B
Yeah.
C
So what's different from the second season as opposed to the first season? I know you kind of like, briefly explained what's going to happen the second season, but what's the biggest difference, would you say?
B
Okay, so the first season, I think, really takes audience members on this journey about non speakers who've been claiming that they can read minds and have kind of a plethora of other spiritual gifts. And my hope with this first season is when people listen to it, they'll realize that we live in a materialist paradigm, that there's more than what we can see and measure that's real. That just because you want to question or look into the metaphysical doesn't mean that you're gullible or stupid. In fact, I think most people want don't exist in this binary of either you believe nothing and it's nothing's real and it's all, you know, consciousness is in your brain and. Or the other side of that, which is like, I believe in fairies and garden trolls and like, you know, everything. So I think most people live somewhere in the middle, like, want to really think thoughtfully engage and question things. And so I hoped by season one, people would believe that telepathy very much could be real, that there's some, there's a there, there, and to stop dismissing things. And that was the goal of season one. And I think for season two, I hope that by the time we're done with it, people will feel very certain that consciousness is the fundamental element building block of our universe and that consciousness survives our body or, I mean, and that you could take that into like a spiritual lens of, like, that we have a soul. So I think if season one took on one big triumph, which was trying to prove that telepathy is real, I hope that season two will kind of validate that the soul is real.
C
Yeah.
B
And I don't know, you guys will have to listen to tell me if it's convincing.
C
No, that's super exciting. Yeah. So like our background, we were both Christians and we dive into just the craziest stories, conspiracy stuff, like ancient stuff, modern day stuff, like Stargate and the astral planing, all that stuff. And so it's cool to hear just someone dive into stuff that almost validates stuff that we've talked about from history, like even back to scripture, like how Jesus, how it talks about how he knew their thoughts and like this crazy. He's like, what do you mean he knew their thoughts? Like, what does that mean? You know, I'm granted. Yeah, God, but. But yeah, I mean, it's just, it's been super fascinating to just listen to it and like, just. It definitely gets you outside of this like, materialistic realm. Like everything's just flesh and blood. Like there is more to it all. At least that's what I've gotten from it so far. So it's been really exciting to listen to it.
B
Yeah, I think based on what you just said too, you're going to love. I've been deep in the depths of our psychedelic episode and really looking at how, you know, these things were part and parcel of humanity's ability to connect with spirit throughout the history of the world. And not just humans, like animals have forged for things that alter their consciousness and, and maybe hominids before us. Like, this was always a part of the human experience. And what's fun is that episode. It's, I think, gonna be episode seven. It does a deep dive into like that. This stuff wasn't just in the indigenous, you know, you know, communities and the Africas and Americas and you know, like Asia. This was also in the Western world. And we look at Eleusis, which was, you know, the Greek hub of spiritual life for 2000 years. Almost where people would go and have this wine potion. And alcohol was not. Alcohol wasn't even mentioned in Greek. It wasn't in the New Testament. Like, alcohol wasn't a thing. They didn't care about wine because of its alcohol. There was something else going on with the wine and, and a lot of people think it had the psychedelic properties and that when you went to Eleusis, you stopped your fear of death. Like, you just understood that it continued. And, and it's fascinating because Eleusis would have been like 14 miles from Corinth, one of the first churches. Like, you could ride your bike there and you know, kind of piecing back through some of that was fascinating because like the Greek God Dionysus, like, you know, he was like, it was like, drink his blood and you'll become him. You'll see, you know, like, what you see. And you could see how maybe the uterus and some of this might have kind of been inspired by this idea that, like, psychedelics were part of, like, engaging with the metaphysical world and God and angels. And maybe that's why it felt in the Old and New Testament that, like, God was so present. There's burning bushes and revelations and all sorts of things happening all the time. But maybe humans had a little help to. To break down that barrier. Oh, you know, we look, really look at psychedelics around the world and how this has always been part and parcel of, like, the connection to spirit. And it's just really interesting that, like in 400, when Constantine started kind of coming through and being like, no, you know, get rid of anything that's pagan, that. That the spiritual, like, heart of kind of the Western civilization died maybe with a lot of that. And then, of course, it was like, how did it say some of it stayed alive? I think because women were the ones that were creating these brews and wines and potions. And you think of the witches, these ideas of women bunding over cauldrons and making some potion, that's going to, like, alter you in some way. I think there's a lot of truth in that. And that's probably the women that were, like, trying to keep this bridge to the divine alive were the people who ended up being the most persecuted. So anyway, if you have a religious interest, I find. I think you'll find that episode very interesting.
D
Yeah, sounds fascinating.
C
So do you. What do you personally believe in as far as, like, the spiritual realm? Like, do you believe that there are just outside of consciousness? Do you believe that there are spirits, like good spirits, bad spirits, that don't even exist within our realm necessarily.
D
And to add onto that, has your views changed while you've gone through these seasons?
B
Yeah, I mean, and I feel like I'm kind of on a journey with a lot of people, you know, I mean, like, a lot of people. I mean, I grew up in the Christian church. I was confirmed. Like, I consider myself a Christian. I was saved, you know, and all that stuff. Like, I was a Bible study leader, like, in high school. I was part of the young life, you know, and then I kind of went through my own reckoning of, like, I don't know what I believe. Like, I'm not sure anymore. Not that I ever doubted God or anything. It was just like, I think organized religion is so damning and so harmful in Many ways and has created so much division and death and. And. And just, like, devastation in a lot of ways. Right. By being so judgmental and stuff. So I kind of went through my own reckoning of, like, what do I believe?
D
And.
B
And like a lot of people, I think you deconstruct what you believe and then reconstruct it again to figure it out. And so I've been on that my own journey, and I think people are kind of on that journey with me, especially in season two. It's like a huge if. Number one was deconstruction. Season two is reconstruction. Got it. And for sure, I believe the soul survives death. And what's fascinating to me is, like, I think what so many non speakers say about good and evil, and I didn't put a lot of that in the season one because I was like, people aren't ready for this. If, like, all of this that is out there is too much or could be perceived as too much, like, taking it this one step further is going to, like, really be too much. But I can't tell you how many spellers and their parents will say that their children talk about not just ghosts and seeing the departed, but interacting with God, with angels, but also with dark forces, you know, or demons. That comes up all the time. And then. So that's interesting. But then, like, even working on season two, like, I. We interviewed a man, Don Rubio, Jose Rubio, who helped find missing kids in the jungle after a plane crash. Four of them, by taking ayahuasca. And he was able to, like, missing children?
D
Yeah, the documentary.
C
Wow.
B
And so, yeah, that's like. So we interviewed him as well as, like, the leader of the Kuntanawa nation in Brazil about ayahuasca and, like, how it works. And when Don Rubio found those missing children, like, he used ayahuasca for people who aren't familiar with the story. He, like, he said he looked through the eyes of, like, jaguars and animals, was able to exactly isolate where these kids were that had been missing for five weeks. But then he said something, so. And I was like, well, okay, that's what's going in our episode. Cause that's fascinating. But then he said something really interesting that we're not putting in the episode and that he was fighting off dark spirits the whole time to keep them safe. And I was like, what on earth does that mean? You know, and he was fighting dark energies. So it's like, whether you're talking to non speakers or some of these people engaging outside of, like, our typical monotheistic faiths. There's a common reoccurring theme that there are forces at work and that I'm still grappling with because it feels so, so mind boggling to me.
C
Yeah.
B
And scary.
C
Yeah, that's fascinating. I started listening to your first episode actually today of the second season, and it was talking a lot about NDEs, like near death experiences, which we've talked a lot about on this podcast.
D
Yeah, it's fascinating.
C
Yeah, really fascinating. And I've actually, I've been reading this book by this orthodox priest, Father Seraphim Rose, and he wrote this book in the 70s and he wrote about these NDEs and he talked a lot about just like this, how there's this potential for these spirits to deceive, like beyond the realm, you know. And so I was wondering, have you picked up on anything that could maybe be deceitful, like in the sense of like misleading or something that maybe is occurring in your life that like, seems to be, just has you like feeling on edge, just like within this research? Because this research is nuts. It's crazy stuff.
D
Super heavy.
B
It's really heavy. I mean, like, I don't, I feel, I feel fairly protected, I will say, you know, and, and it's been interesting. Like some non speakers have said this was fascinating. Like your, your responsibility is divinely protected. Like not me, not the message, not the podcast, like the responsibility. And so I found that such a beautiful use of words. So, you know, and I pray every night for protection and for guidance and all the time. And so I don't worry about. I mean, I'm sure there's always maybe something trying to harm all of us from the outside, but I feel, I feel safe. But one thing I will say is it seems like dark energy or whatever it may be is a little confusing. And I think so much of this world is so nebulous, it's so subtle. And I think back to we were filming for the film and we actually went to a hill to film these like metaphorical hill scenes. And we brought in non speakers from all over the country and some who had never met each other and physically. But two of the girls there had met each other on the hill previously. So it was really cool, you know, because they, there was a lot of recognition. They understood, they're so excited and they didn't need the letter boards. But the moms, you know, sat down with each of the girls, you know, to type, whether it be most there. I think they're both typing to iPads. And I was on the Porch with, like, the producer and I think the cameras and whatever, and they both start typing. And then all. And then there was kind of this nice moment where, like, people were opening presents and having some lemonade or whatever. And then all of a sudden, the both girls, like, look in the same direction and really were upset or freaked out. And then they each in their own corner, started typing to their parents what they saw. And then it was kind of a fun experiment, right, because they both had to say something at the same time. And one of the girls said, a non speaker is here who's very upset. She's not included, is very upset that she's not spelling and doesn't have a voice, and she feels left out. So it was this dark, heavy, angry kid who's left out. And then the other girl wrote, there's a dark energy here, a very dark energy. I don't want it here. And so, like, one of the girls said she knew who the energy was, and it was a person. And the other one was just like, it's a dark energy. And so that. I've pondered that for so long because it's like, wow. Like, what one person might be interpreting as a dark energy could be like the energy of a person who's disgruntled or upset, you know, or maybe someone who's passed on. So what is all this stuff? Right? Like, what is it? And that was an interesting moment for me.
C
That's really fascinating. A little spooky, too.
D
Yeah. How many people did you bring to the hill?
B
About 14, I'd say non speakers and their families. I mean, it was a ton because most these people came as a whole family. So 14 times four, I mean, or five.
C
Yeah.
B
And it was really beautiful. I mean, it was so wonderful because, you know, so many of these individuals who don't get to travel often. In fact, many of their parents were like, they can't travel. They don't do well on planes. And then I kind of thinking, like, they're gonna travel just fine because they want to be there and they know this is important. And sure enough, you know, it was like, off the plane. Like, oh, my gosh, they did great. They were so excited to come. Like, they were quiet and still on the plane, and that never happens, you know? And then even just, like, showing up in moments. Like, there was a moment when we were filming on the hill and it started, like, raining, and so we got everyone into golf carts and people were running away, and my camera guy ran away. But in my brain, I'm like, if Only Lily would stay out here with me for this moment after John Paul dies, you know, for the film. That would be so powerful to have her in the hill in the rain. And I'm thinking that. And I'm begging my camera guy to, like, get an umbrella, get back out with the camera. Don't worry if it gets wet, like, I'll. Insurance will pay for it. Like, this is really important. And I look around to, like, see if, like, where Lily went. And she's just sitting on the hill, like, waiting for me. Like, you know, almost like she could read my thoughts, right? And. And so I run over and I'm like, okay. And, you know, Lily has a hard time lifting up her head on her own due to her apraxia, the mind body disconnect. She's a hard time. I mean, just anyone with apraxia is going to have a hard time telling their body what to do. And. And in that moment, I was like, okay, Lily, can you look up at the sky? And she, like, did it. Can you look this way? She did it. And it was like the apraxia just stopped. It's like she was fully able to take direction, which, you know, I think most parents would say is impossible. And. And when it was all done, I'm like, let's get you in blankets and let's get you to the hot showers. And, you know, and she's like, no, I'm so warm with love is what she spelled. And it was really cool because then, like, it got a little sun came out again, and then Houston came out there and like, we were just kind of hanging out and they were both just so present, so able to like, okay, stand up, do this, do this. And. And again, like, when you have a praxia, you can't control your body, but it's like in that few hours, it just disappeared.
C
Amazing.
D
Strange.
B
Yeah, it was beautiful. It was really cool. Yeah. No, but I feel like just. And I think all the parents would agree with this and the siblings and the people that have been involved in the filmmaking is that like the non speakers continue to focus and overtake their body when it's most necessary, like when we're there. And in fact, Kyle, who we talked about in season one, he was a non speaker who never learned to communicate via spelling, via letterboard, but comes to his mom in dreams. And that, for the mom, became really evidential when he started coming to the dreams with music and songs and lyrics. I mean, like, write these songs and like, through the dreams, you know, the two of them like, put out some albums. And when we were there, I wanted to see if, like, almost like, recreate, like, how do you guys do this? And the mom was like, we don't have to recreate it. He actually came to me last night in my dream with a song. So I was like, oh, my gosh, this is amazing. Let's film it. So we start filming it and, like, while sitting there, typically, she needs to, like, hold him into this, like, field, and then she can kind of, like, channel, like, what he's wanting the lyrics to be. And he'll like, nod and say yes or no. But while we're sitting there, he actually picks up a pencil and starts writing the lyrics on paper himself.
C
No way.
B
Fully writing. And I was like, what is happening? And she's like, you know, he. This is rare that he does this. Like, he can, but he has to have full control over his body. And he. I think he's doing it because he knows the cameras are here. So it was like case after case over and over where the non speakers were. Like, we know what this is like, let's do it. This is important.
D
Yeah, they can feel the importance of it. That's crazy.
C
I remember from your. At the end of your last season, you talked about being visited in your dreams by some of the. Or a child. I forget which one. That was crazy to me. Did you. Do you dive any further into that of, like, just going into the dream realm kind of stuff?
B
Yeah, I mean, like, so in episode six, which drops this Wednesday, there's a really wonderful non speaker who the world hasn't met yet in season one. She will be in the film, though, and her name's Nina, and she can communicate with plants, but she can also communicate to her family in dreams. And she's done all sorts of stuff through dreams. And in fact, like, it's not just her family. Like, at one point, she wanted her parents to buy her mom to buy a house, and she told her mom to buy a mansion. Her mom's like, we can't afford a mansion. Like, what are you talking about? Nina went to the real estate agent in her dreams and told her which house to show her mom and to look at, and that's the house they ended up buying. And she's also done, like, she went to an old family friend in the dreams and told her, look, I can talk now. I can do this. And that woman, like, reached out to the family, like, after not talking to them for, like, 10 years, and was like, nina appeared to me in the dreams last Night. And I want to offer her a job.
C
Wow.
B
Yeah. So that comes up a lot. It comes up a lot. The dream communication. And there's so much there.
C
Really fascinating. What. What's about the plants? What is that?
D
How do you do that? How does that work? How did you even, like, study that?
B
Yeah, I mean, I think again, like, so for your listeners, like season two, the way it's sculpted is reconstruction. Right. Season one deconstructed you. And it starts out big, like, whoa. Okay, like near death experiences. Let's go to a different dimension and beyond, like life and death. And then let's bring it into, like, okay, can we communicate with the other side? Like, we're getting smaller. We're getting all the way back to us, right? So that by the end, like the final episode is mindsight. Those, like, seeing between the blindfolds. And we talked to blind people who've done it. Schools in China doing it, like, all the different stuff and. But along the way of the reconstruction. So three is like big magic. Like, do ideas have, like, a will and consciousness of their own? Like, is. Is. Is a world conscious and. And working with us to make its own will manifest through creativity and through ideas. Like, why do ideas all shape and pop up all over at one time? Or that happens with stories, with books, with songs. So we interview Rick Rubin, you know, and Liz Gilbert, who wrote Eat, Pray, Love, all sorts of people. Episode four deals with savants and like, how it is that you can have like a complete skill set downloaded. How you could hit your head and suddenly compose music or see math and understand, like holographic, you know, you know, just like quantum physics.
C
Just.
B
Just unbelievable stories. And then episode five is animal communication and apple. Episode six is plant communication. And. And, you know, I mean, a lot of it was non speakers saying they can communicate with animals. And then we found other animal communicators and. But there's two non speakers in that episode, episode who are like, yes, of course we communicate with animals. And then episode six really was due to Nina. I mean, she. When she first started spelling, she would diagnose people and offer a medicinal cure. And. And for her sister, who became her primary and chief spelling communication partner, that happened because her sister had to leave her, like, career and leave where she was living down south because she became very, very, very, very sick. And no one knew what was going on with her, but Nina knew. And Nina started offering strange, like, herbal. Herbal medicinal cures from China that the family had no idea what these were. And they proved to be right. And Helpful.
C
Wow.
B
And when they asked Nina, how are you doing this? She said, because I can communicate with plants. And. And she's like, I can hear them the way I hear anything. And what's wild in that episode, we talk to indigenous elders from the Lakota from the Shinxian tribe and like the Upper Northwest from the Kuntanawa nation, like, all over being like, yes, we do this too. Herbalists who are like, yes, I've come up with cures because I could hear nettle seeds talking to me or this or that. And then what's so gorgeous is like, everyone, though, kept talking about, like, ancestors are a big part of this. Ancestors are a big part of it. And then, you know, it's wonderful because Nina is so, so attuned to the skill. And I asked Nina, like, our ancestors a big part of it? And she said, yeah, they are. And then it makes you wonder, like, are they a conduit between. Between. I don't know, like, helping with the telepathy or like, informing in some way. But this plant communication goes far, far back. It's so profound, and I think it's so ancient. And, you know, I remember Nina at one point was like, it wasn't trial and error, all these herbs and things that people tried.
D
Yeah.
B
People could communicate with the plants, and it's hard for our minds to wrap around. But, like, is it. If we know that telepathy is possible.
C
Yeah.
B
Like, what's our hubris to think that only we have consciousness? Like, do we need to have a brain to be conscious? We know plants are communicating through the mushrooms and the mycelium in the forest, so. And then that episode, of course, leads into the psychedelics, which are like. Well, if you consume a plant, they seem to communicate with you deeply.
D
Big time.
C
Yeah.
B
So is it that far fetched, you know?
C
Yeah, I don't think so at all. I mean, we. We would definitely. That doesn't sound super crazy to us because we. We talked a lot about the Book of Enoch and stuff, which would technically predate the flood, and about the watchers coming down and teaching these heavenly mysteries. You know, one of them was pharmacia and, like, how to use medicinal plants and stuff. So, like, to us, like this, I mean, there's so much stuff is just very validating for stuff that we've talked about with just how insane this spiritual realm or this realm outside of our material world, like how it's like, it seems just more real than our material world, you know?
B
Yeah. And for. And the thing is, is like, the Fact that we are so disconnected from it is new. Like for thousands of years, our ancestors were so engaged with it. It was so alive and animate and powerful in their lives.
C
What do you think happened? That was one of my questions, is what? Because it seems like just from these old stories and stuff, like people seemed way more in tuned with just all the. The realm outside of ours. Do you think every human at one point was. Was able to possess this? Or do you think we all had access to this, maybe telepathy or whatever? And do you think that we've lost it? And if we did lose it, how did we lose it, you think?
B
Well, I think technology has certainly helped us replace other skills that we had previously. You know, like in the Sloppy Deep Season 1, we talked about Mark Twain and he talked. He called it mental telegraphy. But how he would notice that if he hadn't thought about someone, let's say, in five years, but sent them a letter postmarked on, let's say, January 4th or something markably, maybe two weeks later, he'd get a letter marked January 4th from that same person. And now we have phone telepathy, right? I was just thinking of you and you called. Oh my God, that's so crazy. Right? But like, but like the stuff was always present. And then when you look into some of the like, like Irish and Viking histories, there were actually words for like, knowing when the boat sank, you didn't need to be told. You just knew you. Or knowing then when the people were coming home, you would go out and wait because you knew. And it was so just part and parcel of their world, you know. And so. And what's fascinating to me is, I mean, I was just texting with a parent this morning who said that her daughter's teaching her telepathy was like, mom, I want to teach you to do it two ways, you know, And I hear that from a lot of parents that like, I can do it two ways if I really sit and think. And sometimes it's messy. Like if they want meatballs for dinner, I might get sausage. And then I have to double check. Which one did you get? I know there's like a chunk of meat I'm seeing, you know. Yeah, but. But there's certainly enough parents and teachers saying, and especially now that the tape says out and this is all like pretty out there, that it goes two ways. And in fact, this is a story that will happen in the film. But like Nina, the one that communicates with plants, one of the ways that the family figured out like the telepathy was happening is that Nina was able to pop into her neurotypical sister's mind sometimes and be like, tell Dad I don't want to go home from the boat ride. I love it out here. And Natalia would be thinking, I don't want to be out here. I want to go home. Like, I have stuff to do. I'm freezing. And she's getting this message, I want to stay out. I want to stay out. And then she would, like, forget about it. But then later in the day, maybe they'd have, like, the spelling board or someone become typing with Nina, and she'd be like, you got my message. And so there's enough neurotypical family members and teachers saying that it works two ways, that it can work. It does work two ways. I mean, I don't think any of this is even like. And even the science that now that so many more scientists and researchers are looking to this, and I think it's gonna be really validating in the next three or four years because, you know, I'm privy to, like, the results, and they're coming back, like, better than I think anyone could have imagined. And one of the things that is so cool is a lot of the scientists who've, like, tested or worked with non speakers now and done these trials have said, I don't think there's just one telepathy happening. There seems to be two kinds. Like, one seems to be this close proximity, that proximity there. Or maybe it's almost like you can, like, lean into someone's mental field and, like, it, like, envelops you in a way where it's just really easy, it's really quick, it's really powerful. And that's not as common. But for some reason, these individuals with apraxia often seem to have that heightened. And it's probably survival skill, right? Like, I need to communicate, I need to engage in the world, I need to whatever. No one's talking to people. People aren't treating me like I'm smart. Like, here's how I can maybe impact the world around me or at least absorb it so I can be engaged in some way. But the other one is more common, probably more powerful, but way less easy to study, which is due to, like, a condition of the heart, right? This powerful. Like, I know someone's sick, I know someone's hurt, I know someone's thinking of me. And it much more motivated by love and connection. And what's cool is in the Telepath Apes film, we were trying to do trials around the first one and the second one happened.
C
Wow.
B
And it was wild because you can't capture that in a lab usually.
C
Yeah.
B
When there's tremendous need or love or care. And that's why the telepathy starts happening. And it happened in the movie. I mean, it happened when we were filming the trials in Chicago with an independent team of scientists not related to Dr. Powell. And it was like, it was wild. So. And it was beautiful because it just, I think it proved, you know, how big these capabilities are.
C
Amazing. Have you. How's the response been from, like, the scientific community, like, at the beginning of when you started this journey to, like, now? And has it changed and have you gotten, like, a lot of pushback?
B
You know, I think in the beginning it was just like it was both. I mean, there were so many researchers reaching out, being like, yes, yes, yes. Like, I've been trying to study this, or I have been studying this, or I have data I want to share with you. Like, it. You know, we've been trying to look at this under ground. We can't get funding, but blah, blah, blah. So there's that half and then there's some people just being like, absolutely not. Like, yeah, you have to have a triple blind. And this and this and this. And it can't be this, it has to be that. And like, fine, okay, so both started happening. But what was wonderful for me is like, University of Virginia went through all of the raw tests we did and looked at that. And then they've just published some stuff in Psychology Today being like, it checks out. Like, these tests were really done with the most utmost integrity. And these non speakers were reliably consistent over and over again. And then they've done telepathy trials at University of Arizona, University of Oregon, I believe Stanford. And then we followed an independent team of scientists with a neuroscientist from Northwestern originally. Now she's independent. Her name is Dr. Julia Mossbridge. She came up with a team of researchers and worked with a teacher in Chicago and her classroom of non speakers. So people that I was not engaging with. So it was like a completely independent study and they did a triple blind. Jeff Tarrant, who's like a. Like an mri, like a, sorry, QEG specialist and neuroscientist. He developed this like almost like triple, I guess, triple blind protocol where a researcher would hit a button, they wouldn't know what was sent out of, like, thousands of options of videos would be sent to a telepathic sender to send the thing, and then the receiver would have to just be trying to, you know, pick up the cue. No one knew if it was a hit until after the whole test was done. And usually there was a visual on the screen and a word and like so they've been doing trials across states like via Zoom and also in person. And like they had one trial where it was the image of a video of the northern lights. And it was actually Jeff Tarrant, the neuroscientist in Oregon. That was like, ah, well, I'll just try to send it today to this, this child, this child like a 20 year old in Chicago who's a non speaker and he starts spelling, you know, art in the sky. Beautiful like, like nature's art in the sky. And then there's a word that was going across the screen and it said beautiful. And again, they don't know what this is. They're in a different state. And then they said type the word and he typed beautiful.
C
Crazy.
B
I mean the odds. Yeah, it wasn't a multiple choice. It could be any video in the entire world. So it's pretty remarkable. And then they also did a test like that through in different rooms. And this was cool because Natalia, who was, who's the sister of that non speaker Nina, who's going to be in episode six of season two, she came out to try to be a sender since we know she can do it with her sister. So. So she was sending to. And she was in a full different room on this other side of the building. And it was funny because they made her read a story. This was not a video, it was like a pa. They were testing all sorts of things. So she was reading a story about how to fill up oil in tankers and she's like, this is so boring. Like I don't even know how I'm gonna send this cause this is boring. But like again like, who knows? Like there was just random things that. So she's reading this article and. And in the middle of the article she even starts at asking questions in her own brain. She's like, if they're filling it in the air, what happens when the other one runs out of oil and blah blah, blah blah. And they're ocean. So she's wondering questions as she's reading it and a speller far away in a different room starts typing all of her thoughts and answering her questions.
C
Whoa.
B
Yeah, I was like, if the other one odds of air, there's an oil tanker like on the ocean and they go down and get it. So he starts answering her questions mid reading for me, I just feel emboldened now because I, I, I know that the science is coming back, like, fully in validation, and it's going to be a new world when this stuff starts getting published.
C
You know, amazing.
D
Is there a category, so you've gone, you know, with dreams and animals, plants, psychedelics. Is there another category that you're maybe not hitting on this season that you can't wait to get to?
B
Yeah, I mean, we have two things loaded up, Locked and Loaded for season three and season four. But I don't want to say what they are yet.
D
Okay, deal. After we go off the record, maybe, Possibly.
B
Okay, cool.
C
All right, here's a question, because we. So we talk about the weirdest stuff on our podcast. A lot of conspiracy stuff. When I was listening to it, I'm like, I'm wondering, do you know of any of these children or anyone in this realm that have been approached by like a government agency or potentially like a private industry or private institution of like, I don't know, because we talk a lot about, like, on our podcast of the governmentless CIA and stuff, all these declassified stuff, how they weirdly try to weaponize everything. We've talked about operation Often, which they tried to weaponize, like, witchcraft and stuff like that. So this seems kind of like a prime subject for them to approach.
B
Yeah. And so people, a lot of people were warning us about that. And I just thought, what, like, why, like, I don't have any secrets. Why would someone start. What, like, you know, because people were warning me and then a few scientists actually were like, it's not going to happen. How you think it's going to be someone coming in and infiltrating your world, gaining your trust. So they have access to these families.
C
Whoa.
B
And they're gonna really want to, like, form beautiful, loving, caring relationships with them. So it's, it's not gonna be like Men in Black situation. It's gonna be a very quiet, gentle, back door situation. And, and that happened and we all figured out what. What happened and who it was. No way. Mm. And. And so we have. It's all I could do was tell everyone who it was and, and so everyone's aware of it and just to be careful, but that's all we could do. I don't think it was sinister. I don't. I think it was just access. It's like people try to get close and know things and form the relationships and form their own relationships. And, and, and so it was weird. It was weird because I did not think that would Happen. And I'm such. Not a conspiracy theorist at all. But then it happened.
D
Well, how does your mind, how has your mindset shifted since that.
B
Well, just, it's one more just like really warning the parents. Like there's a lot of people who are, who are going to try to be your friend and they probably have the wrong reasons, you know. And I think for so many families it's really isolating too. Like for years it was really hard to leave your house if you had a non speaker. Especially with apraxia, you know, they're making noises or can't control their body and it's like, can be the world can be mean if you're at, you know, Wendy's and someone's making a lot of noises or the movies. And so I think for a lot of parents, they feel really isolated and then someone comes by with a lot of interest in you and it can be really confusing, I think, to know who to trust and who not to. So I will just let them know now if I have a suspicion about someone. And it's like you can engage. You guys are all wonderfully grown, mature, smart people and can make your own decisions. Just know that I think this person might be. Have intentions that aren't totally pure.
C
Is this person part of a government agency?
B
Yeah.
C
Do you. Are you allowed to say which one?
B
The CIA.
D
Wild.
C
That's crazy.
D
I bet that fires you up a little bit because you're on the right track, right? Like you're doing, you're, you're hitting on something that's so important that people obviously, unfortunately want to weaponize or take advantage of or whatever that may be. Yeah, I mean it's, you know, definitely puts you in a good spot of like, okay, I'm on the right track.
B
Yeah. I mean, I don't love it. That's weird to me. It's really weird. It's really, really weird.
D
Yeah.
B
You know, and then in the office, like, I mean this isn't, this is just more weird. Like we get all sorts of like strange packages all the time and stuff that it's like what is happening here? But. But yeah, I mean, and then I think too, like, you know, there's all sorts of people who've been reaching out with wonderful intentions around making centers for non speakers. And like that is something like we've started a non profit and we're, we've started to raise money and we want to like both give money to spelling grants, but also eventually try to make a center where like non speakers can go and get educated. Like as at in terms. I mean, of like a higher education. Or more importantly, maybe be teachers for the rest of us. Like if you want to learn really good energy healing or want to connect with plants and whatever. Like, how beautiful, right, to have these teaching centers. But a few other centers have been popping up and people wanting to make them and. And I've just been saying very clearly to all the families, like, be very careful. I mean, who knows who's starting those centers? You know, they could be deeply a way to get people there and exploit gifts or talents or any of that.
D
So be creating the X Men. The new X Men.
C
Yeah.
B
Yeah. I mean, it's just trying to be really aware because it's just like these individuals are human beings. Right. They're not oracles. And. And like, though this feels magical, it shouldn't. We shouldn't be looking at non speakers. Like they're magical. It's like we should be looking at us and being like, we are all magical and we've lost this ability or forgotten we have it, you know, so, you know, so it's just like, it's just being deeply respectful that these are individuals that these human beings have. If people want to work with them, then they should pay them and give them jobs.
C
Sure.
B
And learn to spell to communicate and be like active communication partners, like engaging with non speakers. And I know non speakers working on missing person cases. I know non speakers working with the police. I know non speakers working with energy healers and doing non speakers doing all sorts of cool things. But they should be hired and employed and respected. And whoever's working with them should be learning to spell to communicate. Right.
C
For sure.
B
Yeah.
C
How did you find out this person was part of the CIA? Was it like.
B
Well, I don't want to say too much because I don't know if they know that I know. So I like, we are like, okay, we know. So we'll just. I mean, I'm sure they're gonna watch this, but then they know that there's all sorts of people in the orbit, so I don't want to be too specific about it.
C
Okay, that's fair.
D
We appreciate you telling us. That's crazy. It's a wild story.
C
Okay, I want to go down just another little rabbit trail. Rabbit trail. Rabbit hole.
D
Let's go down the rabbit hole.
C
Rabbit hole. So we talk a lot about aliens and stuff. Not sure where we exactly stand on them. I change my mind every other day about what I think about aliens. But something very interesting that we talk a lot about like alien abduction stories and whatnot. And a key feature or a key thing that happens in a lot of these abductions is telepathy. So I'm wondering if you've ever looked into anything regarding the. Just the alien stuff, alien abductions and telepathy and if there's non speakers that you've talked to that have experienced maybe aliens or whatnot.
B
Well, I think that, I mean, what I've come to kind of realize through this work is that telepathy is the. Is a communication baseline. Right. For probably anything. So whether it's between animals, between humans, between other beings, between unliving and living.
C
Between kind of like the universal language.
B
Yeah, yeah. And so, you know, as I think the, the questions around consciousness and non human intelligence is fascinating because, like, are these beings coming from another dimension? Are they coming from the future? Are they working from the informational field somehow, like the informational field being made manifest to interact with us or give us, you know, I mean, who knows what it is? It's fascinating. But it makes sense to me that all of it would be through telepathy. And in fact, if people really want to take a fun deep dive and nerd out, like our episode four, which was about savants in season two, there's a man in that episode who was attacked, brutally mugged. And after he came back from his injury, he was able to see kind of math and physics everywhere.
C
I've heard of this man. Yeah.
B
Yeah. And so we have a beautiful interview with him and.
C
Cool.
B
And he has, he has a theory of the world called quantum information holography. And he was saying to us that this comes back, to answer your question, I just have to go around a long way. And he was saying to us, he's like, what I saw and understood when I started talking to physicists and mathematicians was that they're smarter than me, but they don't see what I'm seeing. He's like, they are only seeing the screen. And he's like. And I can see everything around the screen, screen. And the screen is like all probabilities happening right now converging on this Earth. It's like 3D plane called Earth. And he's like, but there's so much more happening before that and after that and around that. And he's like. And I can see all of it. And so he explains, he's come up with formulas and he ha. He has all these like, words. He's really hard to like, understand almost. And when I was talking to him, I said, like, does Anyone understand you? And he's like, you know, I've come up with these equations and all like this math that kind of explains. Explain what I'm seeing. And he's like. And when I started feeding it into AI, AI would like kick back the pictures of exactly what I was seeing, so I know it's right. But then he told me, he's like, but, you know, telepathy. He explains how telepathy works and near death experiences work and all of it. And so if people believe him or not, it's up to them. But in our episode four of season two, the tapes, like there's a big interview with him and it's fascinating. And he basically is like, yeah, telepathy is the baseline.
C
Wow.
B
Baseline. So the baseline for anything. Right. Like if that's.
C
Yeah.
B
Like if. If we think that of us as being a citizen and a world with many dimensions or universe with many dimensions, with many. Maybe different species, with many different timelines going on, of course, like, what is language? It's just a. It's just a wave coming out of our voice. And, and one thing that he said that was fascinating, he said, you know, when he started looking at the angular Planck constant, which is like, I don't even know what that means for different words. Like, so casa or home or a different word in different language. He said that like the fundamental energy like signature is the same. So that means that like the energy signature behind every word is the same no matter what what word, or you're putting with it what language.
D
Interesting.
B
And that's fascinating.
D
Yeah.
B
Because if that's true, I mean, he's trying to develop now a way to like communicate with animals and use this to communicate with like other species and beings. But it basically again, validates telepathy.
C
That is amazing.
D
Yeah, there's telepathy and there's just so many layers with that.
B
Yeah.
D
I just think telepathy just like all reading minds, but it's like you just see there's. It's just gets so much deeper.
B
Right.
D
It's crazy.
B
Yeah. And that's like what season two is, is like telepathy is not just mind reading. Right. It'd be communicating with people who aren't here, communicating with plants and animals, communicating with ideas, like healing people with your mind. Like all of this, I think is a form of telepathy.
C
Yeah, those. I guess my last question is like, what are some other gifts that you've seen outside of the realm of just the speaking to animals, plants, understanding different languages, the hieroglyphics thing that you talked about on your first season was insane.
B
Yeah.
C
Has there been any, like, this may sound really silly, but, like, telekinesis, like, being able to, like, move objects and stuff. Have you seen that or experience that?
B
Yeah. I mean, so there's a lot that parents and teachers have talked about that we just haven't put out there, and it gets even more intense than that. But, yeah, like, there's been many, many stories, and the first time I hear it, I'm like, what? That can't be. And then I'll go say to someone else, and they're like, that's kind of true. And then I'll talk to someone else. And it's like. And then they all are like, okay, now you're ready to know this. So I feel like they. Some of the families and parents and teachers will, like, spoon feed me information when they think I can handle it. And that's something that has come up quite a few times. And not just like, maybe moving objects with your mind, but often it will have to do with, like, speaking through a. Like an iPad, and all of a sudden, it will talk on its own.
C
Whoa.
B
Mm. So I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I've heard many people talk about that, you know, or like, a bilocation is another one. Like, you know, having, like, being able to, like, reflect what seems to be, like, an imprint of your consciousness somewhere else in someone else's space.
C
So they, like, physically, like, almost like.
B
Yeah, like, so. So maybe, like, I've heard it actually the most from teachers who will say, like, I woke up and, like, I felt like this person was in my bedroom, but it wasn't fully them. It was just, like, an outline of them, and they were communicating with me.
C
Holy smokes.
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
C
I mean, because there's. There's, like, stories of, like, oh, my gosh, I forget his name. It was called, like, the fool for Christ. It was a. This Orthodox monk in Russia. And there are stories of, like, him being able to, like, be in two places at once. And, like. Yeah, but he, like, wasn't physically there, but he was talking to this person. But it was just. Yeah. So that just made me think.
B
It's like the lady in blue, you know, you should look up that story later.
C
The lady in blue, it was a.
B
Nun who I think, you know, was from Spain, I believe, forgot her name, but she spent an awful lot of time in her cell praying, praying, praying, praying. And. And when I think some Spanish, you know, like, crusaders were in New Mexico. And around that region, they found crosses and all sorts of stuff all over there already. And they were asking the natives, like, how did you. Like, how do you know about this? And they'd say, oh, the lady in blue came and taught us, and she does these prayers, and she taught us this and she taught us that, and, you know, would say her name, and then they were able to work out who it was. But she never left her cell where she would pray in her monastery. So it's very. It's a really cool story. And there's actually, like, shrines and churches and temples kind of honoring her throughout, like, that region of the country, the American Southwest. So fascinating.
C
That is so cool.
B
Yeah.
D
It's incredible, man.
C
We have any more questions?
D
I was just curious if there was any. I love little spooky stories every now and then. I'm curious because you're diving into some dark stuff at times. Like you said, it feels very heavy. Is there anything that happened within this season, maybe that you added onto the pod and maybe you kept out that really kind of scared you. Were there any moments that kind of just shiver down your spine kind of thing? No, no, no. Scared me for a second, the way you're hesitating. I was like, she's holding back tears or can't think of anything. I don't know.
B
I mean, there. No, no, no. I was. I was thinking of, like. I mean, there's some dark stories of, like, parents saying that their non. Speakers are being, like, harmed. Yeah. In, like, at night, but like, with scratches on their bodies and stuff. And that's, like, really freaking weird. And I don't know what to make of it. I've never seen it. I don't know. I mean, I trust these families. I trust them. But, like, it. That's scary. And I don't know what that means. And I think that, you know, so many of these parents just say that their children are so much more vulnerable and so much more open and such less ability to protect themselves. But I think spirit, spiritually, they are actually way more strong and able to protect themselves. So it's just really hard to know. So it's hard to talk about, you know, But I think overwhelmingly, like, we're kind of coming at a lot of this from a place of, like, love and unity and that there's, like, such wonderment and magic that is accessible to all of us. Like, thank goodness for this incredible population that, like, opened our eyes and opened the doors to belief. But it's all there for the taking, and we shouldn't be scared of it, you know.
D
Yeah. Is there any plan for the future to release any of the stuff that you've cut out of the first season or second season? Is there stuff like unreleased telepathy tapes?
B
Oh, yeah. Like, so we're releasing a ton on our Backstage Pass. So we have, you know, a super cast where we have like our own Discord channel, a ton of videos. Ask me anythings with like non speakers, with myself, with like Laurelyn Jackson, who's a medium with the Jason Padgett who, you know, who's the guy who got hit in the head. Like, so if people really want to deep dive, our Backstage Pass on Supercast is the place to be. And we will be releasing all sorts of stuff. And the thing that people should know too is we spend a year working on each season and that's usually 10 to 12 episodes. And then after that, we weekly unpack the entire season in an episode of something we call the Talk tracks up until the next season drops. So cool. Over the next year, once season two is done, we're going to be unpacking like near death experiences and psychedelics and mediumship and talking to plants and all this stuff.
D
Awesome. And what about your film? When is that going to be released? What is.
B
Yeah, so we have a rough cut. And my first rough cut did not have me in it because I was like, I want to see the floor and have it all be about families and teachers. And I send it out to focus groups and to some of our funders and they were all like, what? You have to be in it. And the families were like, you have to be in it. So I was like, oh, man. So now it's like we're recutting the whole thing to put me in it and kind of narrate it. And then I think we should have the next rough cut by January.

Episode Date: December 2, 2025
Guests: Ky Dickens (Creator/Narrator, The Telepathy Tapes)
Hosts: Josh Hooper & Andy DeNoon
This special "Ninjas Are Butterflies" episode features the hosts’ first-ever remote interview with documentary filmmaker and podcaster Ky Dickens, creator of "The Telepathy Tapes." Together, they delve into the mind-bending world of telepathy, consciousness, and the metaphysical, comparing personal backgrounds and discussing scientific and spiritual paradigms. The conversation spans the making of Ky’s show, communication beyond words, historical and spiritual intersections, government interest in psychic phenomena, and much more—with a signature mix of humor and earnest curiosity.
“Each episode looks into something else we might have dismissed… Can you communicate with plants, to near death experiences, to mediumship—can it be validated in a lab? To animal communication, energy healing, and psychedelics…” – Ky Dickens [03:23]
“That was even closer. It’s actually my uncle dressed as a Hamburglar.” – C [04:51]
“The podcast was really my last resort since I couldn’t get the doc made. I mean, now it’s being made…” – Ky [05:29]
“I hope that by the time we’re done with it, people will feel very certain that consciousness is the fundamental element building block of our universe and that consciousness survives our body…” – Ky [09:00]
“It definitely gets you outside of this materialistic realm. Like everything’s just flesh and blood. Like there is more to it all.” – C [10:48]
“Alcohol wasn’t even mentioned in Greek… There was something else going on with the wine and a lot of people think it had psychedelic properties… Maybe that’s why it felt in the Old and New Testament that God was so present…” – Ky [11:12]
“If number one was deconstruction, season two is reconstruction. And for sure, I believe the soul survives death…” – Ky [14:51]
“What one person might be interpreting as a dark energy could be like the energy of a person who’s disgruntled or upset, you know, or maybe someone who’s passed on…” – Ky [20:54]
“I look around to, like, see if, like, where Lily went. And she’s just sitting on the hill, like, waiting for me. Like, you know, almost like she could read my thoughts…” – Ky [22:11]
“When they asked Nina, how are you doing this? She said, because I can communicate with plants…And what’s wild is… everyone kept talking about, like, ancestors are a big part of this…” – Ky [28:52]
“Technology has certainly helped us replace other skills that we had previously… And it was so just part and parcel of their world, you know.” – Ky [32:03]
“One of the things that is so cool is a lot of the scientists … have said, I don’t think there’s just one telepathy happening. There seems to be two kinds…proximity and…motivated by love and connection.” – Ky [35:42]
“It’s not gonna be like Men in Black situation. It’s gonna be a very quiet, gentle, back door situation. And that happened and we all figured out…who it was… I don’t think it was sinister…I think it was just access…” – Ky [42:02]
“What I’ve come to kind of realize through this work is that telepathy is a communication baseline. For probably anything.” – Ky [48:06]
“There’s been many, many stories… Not just moving objects with your mind, but often it will have to do with, like, speaking through an iPad, and all of a sudden, it will talk on its own...” – Ky [53:09]
“There’s some dark stories… parents saying that their non-speakers are being, like, harmed. At night, but like, with scratches on their bodies and stuff. And that’s, like, really freaking weird...” – Ky [56:32]
“We will be releasing all sorts of stuff…after that, we weekly unpack the entire season in an episode of something we call the Talk Tracks…” – Ky [57:46]
On faith in telepathy:
“I trusted so deeply like, that the parents and the non speakers were speaking truth and that they deserve to be heard and that people be very interested...” – Ky [05:29]
On Western civilization's spiritual shift:
“When Constantine started kind of coming through and being like, no, you know, get rid of anything that's pagan, the spiritual, like, heart of kind of the Western civilization died maybe with a lot of that…” – Ky [12:22]
On the reality of spiritual forces:
“Non speakers talk about not just ghosts and seeing the departed, but interacting with God, with angels, but also with dark forces, you know, or demons. That comes up all the time.” – Ky [14:50]
On government interest:
“We all figured out what happened and who it was… It’s all I could do was tell everyone who it was and just to be careful…” – Ky [42:02]
On the normalization and mutual loss of ability:
“We should be looking at us and being like, we are all magical and we’ve lost this ability or forgotten we have it…” – Ky [45:55]
Conversational, curious, and at times irreverently funny; the interview balances skepticism, open-mindedness, and genuine wonder. Ky shares deeply personal insights, academic rigor, and wild, sometimes unsettling, stories, with the hosts riffing enthusiastically and drawing connections to spirituality, conspiracies, and fringe phenomena.
End of summary.
