We talk about a close call with a (near) fatal appetizer, precognitive knowledge of raffle drawings and the growing conversation around telepathy in people and pets. Is it real, and if not, how do our cats know when to come to the door when we arrive home? There's literally no other explanation. This week, Dylan is covering Darryl Anka (Darryl, not Paul) and his alleged ability to channel an alien entity that calls itself Bashar. We talk about

Dylan, equally as impressive(?), is *maybe* driving across the country in the fall, but that's to be determined. This week, Madison covers the story of Blanche Monnier, a socialite who had
