This episode of Closet Cases Out and Open, Mikey and Jesse sit down with Nashville educator, drag performer, author, and community advocate Kennedy Ann Scott. From growing up queer in a small Missouri town to finding safety through family, drag, teaching, and chosen community, Kennedy shares how survival turned into self-expression — and how self-expression turned into activism.

The conversation goes everywhere it should: Nashville’s unique queer community, religious trauma, drag misconceptions, hookup app chaos, classroom impact, political attacks on LGBTQ+ people, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is be exactly who you are — loudly, honestly, and looking good while doing it.

Tarot. Intuition. Ghosts. And a few stories that might haunt you after listening…

In this episode, we sit down with Jess, a tarot reader who breaks down the truth behind tarot, spirituality, and what it really means to trust your intuition. From her religious upbringing to a life-changing spiritual awakening, Jess shares how she found her path—and how you can tap into yours.

We get into:

• What tarot actually is (and why it’s not what people think)
• How to strengthen your intuition (“kegels for the soul” 👀)
• Energy cleansing, hexes, and spiritual protection
• The dangers of becoming dependent on readings

And then things get… weird.

We swap real-life paranormal experiences, from apparitions and haunted locations to sleep paralysis and unexplained encounters that still don’t make sense.

To top it all off, Jess pulls cards for us LIVE—and let’s just say… the readings hit a little too close to home.

This episode is part spiritual deep dive, part therapy session, and part ghost story you won’t forget.

🎙️ S1 EP6: Coincidence… or Nah?

Freezing fog. Falling trees. Surviving atomic bombs.

In this episode, Jesse and Mikey spiral (in the best way) into fate, destiny, intuition, and those moments in life that are just a little too aligned to be random.

From near-miss disasters and long-lost twins reuniting, to uncanny synchronicities, psychic party tricks, and electronics that seem personally cursed — we’re asking the big question:

When is a coincidence not just a coincidence?

We get into:

• Surviving impossible odds (twice 👀)

• Long-lost siblings finding each other blocks away

• Intuition vs. paranoia

• Empaths, soulmates, and life lessons

• Why your aura might need a spiritual colonic

• And whether knowing your future would actually ruin it

Plus: Butter Beans the cat triggers Alexa conspiracy theories, Jesse might be hexed, Mikey believes in destiny, and somehow we end up debating Bill Nye vs. tarot cards.

It’s mystical. It’s chaotic. It’s existential.
And honestly? It might have been predestined.
