    Is Nicholas in the Room with Us Right Now?

    James and Gabi talk about an ex bf interaction and getting bit by a chicken. We then get into the Gabbie Hanna situation and what it symbolizes about the internet, boundaries, performance, and illusions. We get into Nicholas - the online viewer turned IRL spawn, who broke the third wall by arriving to Gabbie's house and "trying to help her" whilst tiktokking his mission.

We talk about Nathan Fielder’s “The Rehearsal” and discuss the concept of manipulation. In a way, all communication is manipulation. We bitch about bitching, as usual. We daydream about living in a perfect bubble.For exclusive eps, come to our patreon:patreon.com/illusionpod

After 45 mins we really peak into some life-loving gratitude hype I gotta say. Also, new sign-off announced.this content is made possible by viewe...

    How To Not Join A Cult *TEASER*

    We discuss “Holy Hell”, a unique documentary about the cult Buddhafield that formed in the trippy 80s. We discuss “NXIVM”, a more recent, highly sinister cult with corporate incentives.
