[00:00:00] Alex Tsakiris: On this episode of skeptiko. Can NDEs be Funny? Well, I guess that depends on who’s telling the story.

[00:00:12] clip: I’m gonna tell the story. The last time I drank piss.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one

[00:00:19] Alex Tsakiris: That’s comedian, Jessa Reed. She’s our guest today.

[00:00:23] Jessa Reed: you know, when I got addicted to meth, it was kind of an accident.

And then I was actually relieved. Like when, when my family was like, don’t go down this path. You know, I felt so disillusioned with the reality where I was just like, everyone’s when I got old enough to find out that magic, wasn’t real. I’m like, so life is just working a job that you hate so that you can afford a house.

You don’t give a shit about. So you can stay in a relationship. That’s already run its course, like, let me off of this train meth addiction. Cool.

welcome to skeptical where we explore controversial science and spirituality with leading researchers, thinkers and their critics.

Uh, probably most of my listeners, you know, a few of ’em have been, are familiar with you and the scene and, you know, I’m all about spirituality deep into the whole, uh, alien. I hate the term alien, but you know, what are we gonna do, et contact experience, especially from an extended consciousness standpoint, super into NDE.

We’ve probably done a hundred shows on NDE science and all that stuff. So we have a lot of points of intersection. Tell people, jump us into this, what you do, what you’re all about.

[00:02:28] Jessa Reed: , I, uh, primarily focus on, uh, the elevation of consciousness. I hate the words for all of this stuff. I imagine you probably feel the same.

I don’t resonate with the new age movement, but I feel like a lot of the things I’m talking about sound like they are from the new age movement.
