In this episode, Cody and Chris touch upon a mind-blowing (so to speak) topic they were both unfamiliar with: tulpas, or imaginary friends that come to life. First, Cody tells about an interesting theory called The Tulpa Effect, that could potentially have spawned Bigfoot, Nessie, and even Slenderman. In Chris’ first story, he tells about a person’s tulpa who shows up in the creepiest of places. Cody then shares the fascinating and scary tale of Olivia Mabel, whose grief may have spawned a tulpa of her son. Chris’s second story has to do with a tulpa that the person thought was never created. BS Weekly tells us why imaginary friends are a good thing. This week’s drinks are Neuro Sleep Tangerine Dream and Tibetan Butter Tea.
