Cosmosis: Selling Snake Oil in the Year of the Snake?🐍💊🛸👽😞😕

I listened to the latest
Cosmosis podcast episode titled 'Beyond the Telling: Listening To & Interpreting Experiencer Narratives'
 when I got back to Australia and was dumbstruck that the hosts of this show were pushing Magic Mind, a drink I tried in Golden, Colorado to no effect whatsoever that I could tell, all for the magic price of $10 USD or about $20 Australian dollars for me once bank conversion fees and other taxes were applied.
Ep 5: Beyond The Telling: Listening To &
Interpreting Experiencer Narratives
Sorry Kelly Chase, but you have lost any credibility you might have had with me when it comes to telling the truth
Kelly used to host the 'The UFO Rabbit Hole' podcast, which I've written posts about on this blog before -
Chasing the UAP in 2023, the Year of the Rabbit?🕳🛸🐇
I used to think Kelly was a truth teller before hearing her flogging this Magic Mind placebo snake oil drink on the Apple podcast version of the episode (it seems to be cut out of the You Tube version)
You can find the segway about five minutes into the Apple podcast version. 
Ironically, this little bottle of snake oil is a good metaphor for the subject matter of this episode:-)
I had not heard of this stuff before, until I had lunch in Golden after visiting the Coors brewery, where I saw it on the counter of a shop my son went in to grab a bite to eat.
It was one of those hippie/surfer cafes where they sell supposedly healthier food than the sandwich shop where I bought my Reuben sandwich from.  
I only got the 
Reuben sandwich because I had read somewhere that this shop was famous for its buffalo meat Reuben sandwiches, but they told me they were all out of buffalo meat, so I had to have beef. 
More lies?
Who can you trust when it comes to making a buck?
All I can say is that I would have been better mentally and financially drinking a can of Dr. Pepper than downing a very small bottle of Magic Mind.
I even bought a bigfoot keyring at a shop in Golden, not because I believe in the creature, but because this bigfoot stuff is for sale everywhere in Denver, even the airport.
And I'm amazed at how people want to believe in such myths.  
Ironically, I also bought an alien/Area 51 keyring at the Las Vegas airport, but it's vanished and I haven't been able to find it anywhere since I got back to Australia.
As for the Cosmosis podcast it is now off my Apple podcast list, as I think the hosts are just out to make a buck out of the phenomena any way they can, at the expense of the truth.
I think it was Richard Dawkins who came up with the term "world salad" when people are just talking around in circles, and this episode was a prime example of a "world salad" as about as satisfying as drinking a bottle of Magic Mind.
