Summary

Cult Season rumbles on as Chris and Matt expand their minds in an attempt to absorb the cosmic insights of spiritual influencer and alleged cult leader Teal Swan (born Mary Teal Bosworth, 1984). Our intrepid hosts explore her recent appearance on the Just Tap In podcast with Emilio “starchild” Ortiz — a beanie-wearing vessel of pure credulity, lobbing softball metaphysical questions gently into the astral winds.

The topic covered is ostensibly “Major 2026 Predictions” but this is really just an entry point for discussion of the ancient origins of AI, multiversal astral contract negotiations, and, of course, the urgent need to discuss masculinity before we spiritually implode.

You will learn insights, such as: how AI will eliminate ageing, guide us to SOURCE, amplify our shadow, and corrupt and deceive us ... all at once. Aliens and other cosmic beings are deeply concerned with and also not really all that bothered with humanity. Also, pop stars are apparently set to receive divine instructions to stabilise the collective psyche in 2026. And how we are all trapped in a planetary pressure cooker that will run at least until 2030. Teal is trying not to scare us, but it doesn’t look great (though it might also be great and lead to utopia).

Expect astral board meetings, sensemaking redefinitions of “power” and “love”, warnings about the painful sacrifices required to join Teal’s “conscious community”, and some distinctly uncomfortable talk about opening gates and reframing mother–son dynamics. As ever, Matt and Chris attempt to decode the elevated vagueness, semantic gliding, and cosmic scaling of very earthly anxieties.

All hail SOURCE!

I'm Hello and welcome to the coding gurus, the podcast where anthropologists and to the greatest minds the world has to offer.

0:32.6

And we try to understand what they're talking about.

0:35.0

I'm Matt Brown, the psychologist from Australia.

0:37.4

With me is Chris Kavanaugh Brown, the psychologist from Australia. With me is

0:38.1

Chris Kavanaugh, the anthropologist from Ireland. Ireland. Yeah, I mean, are you really Irish,

0:48.2

though? The more I learned about Northern Irish culture, the more I realize that it's more

0:53.1

like a brutal version of Scottish culture.

0:56.7

It's got more in common with Scotland than with Southern Ireland.

1:00.1

You'd have to admit that.

1:01.5

No, no.

1:03.0

That's a very controversial statement that you've just made because as you know, Matt, knowing

1:09.0

your history of Northern Ireland, you are extrapolating from

1:13.5

the fact that there were Scottish plantation settlers. However, they're only the ancestors of around

1:20.1

50% of the population. Just 50. Just 50. Well, the other 50% are from the south of Ireland.

1:26.7

I know.

1:47.9

I'm just saying that culturally, like, because you're a Catholic. I know this. So where do Catholics come from? Did they come from Scotland? I just say it. I'm just calling it as I see it. You've been contaminated by the Scots. That's the Alster Scots. The Alster Scots. Well, I mean, that might be fair, but I'll let you reap the whirlwind of telling Northern Irish people that they're not really Irish.

1:52.8

Whoever managed not to insult. Look, some of my best friends are Scotch. It's not the Scots that

1:59.5

are going to take issue with it. It's the

2:01.3

Irish people. The Scots wish they were Irish. That's, you know, they'll enjoy that

2:08.3

comparison. They do. They make better whiskey than you guys. Do they? Yeah. Do they? Don't

2:15.0

worry. They make, both of you make much better whiskey than Australians. So don't worry about it. That's true. Too smoky. No such thing. There's so much there is. It's like eating smoke. Eating and drinking smoke. That's my take on telescope. That's what you want. That's what you want.

2:34.7

You want to be slept around by a drink.
