We sit down at one of the most storied institutions on Hollywood Boulevard for a sprawling conversation spanning Compass Pathways, the psychedelic sector, and which gas station virility pills sent one of us to the urgent care. Later in the hour, Max auditions an array of drops in hopes of gaining Kai's coveted seal of approval. Is today her lucky day? Tune in to find out!

We missed you! Have you ever wondered what's actually in those brightly colored "shroom" chocolate bars behind the glass at your local head shop? For several years many of them were marketed as containing Amanita Muscaria, however user reports and independent lab testing tell a decidedly different story. How DID mushroom marketing hucksters confuse consumers, media, and government agencies alike? Press play and find out!

Could Amanita Muscaria be the secret to finally clearing up your psoriasis? Making your poops more regular? Increasing your agility in the ring? How about in the bedroom ;) The answer may shock you!

We discuss whether this fabled "poison" could have a place in the modern medicine cabinet. And after exploring several studies on the effects of muscimol and ibotenic acid, we examine the results of the largest informal survey of Amanita Muscaria microdosing ever conducted, by none other than the Queen of Amanita Content herself, Russian doctor and psychonaut Baba Masha M.D. And of course, we close things out with a cautionary tale of Amanita Macrodose gone awry!

Was the REAL Jesus not a man, but a mushroom shrouded in metaphor to survive Roman persecution? Did amanita muscaria inspire pre-Hindu Vedic priests to craft literally thousands of hymns? When the stakes are this high, can Jamie “pull that up?”

Today we're continuing on our trip down Amanita Lane talking about two dudes and their much disputed mushroom theories! We start off with Robert Gordon Wasson and his Soma Hypothesis, in which he argues amanita muscaria was the true identity of the plant god Soma from the Ninth Mandala of the Rig Veda. Then we go deeper down the rabbit hole with John Marco Allegro, who claims that the beloved Jesus Christ was in fact a cover up for the horny mushroom rituals too wild to be written down. Finally, we cap things off with a classic trip report that really brings everything together in one glorious golden shower.

In this episode, our wooden bowls floweth over with deep lore and more! We embark on a mystical journey to the land of the Koryak and Chukchi in Northeast Asia, and tell tales of what many people believe to be the original magic mushroom, Amanita Muscaria (aka Fly Agaric). You know we love primary source documents, so we're checking in with some 19th-century Russian dissidents who were exiled to Siberia and wrote some of the first accounts of Amanita use among the local Indigenous population.

Today we're discussing the deliriant state known as Eiriel, and the two reports from the olde internet chan board which coined the phrase. This episode comes complete with a big wet smooch from the Hatman’s shadowy lips. We talk internet culture, enjoy tangents on figures like Frederick Brennan, and try to make sense of what drives people to consume life threatening amounts of over the counter allergy medicine.

Trigger Warning: for discussions of suicide and self-harm.

Bennies Part 1! And it's a doozy...

We discuss the shockingly popular trends around so-called recreational Benadryl use, and the digital communities that have emerged to support this largely solitary activity. We follow The Hatman down a dark wooded path filled with creepy crawlers to figure out why he would telepathically misgender people, and to try and find out where we can get a funky hat like his.

*Trigger Warning for discussions of suicide and self-harm.

We sat down for an in-studio conversation with filmmaker Courtney Stephens, co-director of the recent documentary, John Lilly and the Earth Coincidence Control Office. Courtney shares her unique perspective on Lilly as someone who has spent 5+ years conducting interviews with his associates and reviewing massive amounts of archival material. Our conversation centers around Lilly's sprawling and complicated cultural legacy; with plenty of digressions into strange and esoteric rabbit holes. If you liked our first John Lilly episode, you'll love this one. TW for brief discussions of animal abuse.
