Shannon you were asking if mushrooms really were controlling us they should make themselves taste like Doritos- Doritos are so addictive because they have Umami which is created using mushrooms particularly Shitake!! So PROOF they really ARE breeding US!

Jessamine Pittar

I looooooved this episode!!! y’all are the best 💛

paige

Wow amazing amazing episode please do another episode together 🥲 would love to hear more about Emily’s experience with psychedelics/party mothering lol

Shannanagens

Hannah

Yes! Was about to comment the same thing haha

& if you have any questions I’d love to answer them!

Definitely do something on the food in Europe vs here! My family owns and runs and stone ground mill and we only grind local grains that are grown with sustainable, good practices and gluten intolerant people can eat our flour.

Gotta do some additional facts here- yep penicillin come from fungus! Also antibiotics only target bacteria- biotic means “living” so can’t target viruses which need a host 🫡🫡

Bronagh

Great episode gals! I’ve done shrooms twice. I basically realized time isnt real… but i also called my dad and left him a weird ass voicemail and embarrassed myself a lot so i dont think i will be doing it again. I also almost called my mom and cussed her out. Thank god my fiance stopped me. Watching American dad on shrooms was cool though

Hannahsbananass

This was so good! I’m not from the states but I’ve been living here for 10years now and it’s crazy how much different mushrooms are treated here in the US vs in South America lol

Sara Davila

just wanna come out here and say I appreciate the top tier content!! 👌🏻👌🏻 Shannon and Emily you unlock interests in subjects that i would never think i’d be interested in! and love the conspiracy theory of it all

Allizzle

Oh also I think you were thinking of Okinawa! That’s where my dads side is from and I can confirm mushrooms are a nearly daily thing 🤣

RJ

Fun fact for any bobs burgers watchers, the blue mushrooms are real! Also would love if Emily came back to discuss why soooo many video games have mushrooms! The devs are obsessed 😂

RJ

Just watched « Fantastic Fungi » on Netflix, loved the documentary!! ☺️

Eleonora

Just gonna hop in here and mention that chronic Lyme is very real and has affected my and many of my friends lives. Parasite cleanses can be bs tho. Check out Global Lyme Alliance for a super legit resource. “Long-Haul Lyme” is the term doctors like to use instead.

Allyson

Love this - fantastic fungi is so goood - I also tell everyone I know to watch haha

Tess

‘…full fkn scavenger mode!’ I was laughing so much during this ep! - Sounds like it was a blast to record!

TMay

not true

Mari

When Shannon mentioned this episode before I just KNEW it’d be with Emily

Ahlana

Omg u guys have to watch the last of us if you haven’t already!! The inspiration is the cordyceps fungus that infects ants that y’all were talking about.

Michelle

Thinking bout the mushrooms thriving at Chernobyl gives me hope 🥲

Grem Boa

Came here to say the same thing. pls pls pls give us a bean ep, Shannon!

Bri Emme

Definitely down for a bean episode 🫘

Jessica

Amazing show!!! I love when my favourite podcasters intersect!! I would love if you did. Deep dive into ´big food’ what a rabbit hole to fall down.

Jessica

Pls do a bean episode 🙏🏻

Hannah

Noelle

Noelle

Anyone have mushroom experience while on Wellbutrin/lexapro? Idk why they won’t work for me😡I need the magic

Noelle

I love science but I blame my fear of mushrooms to trypophobia

Dylan Tobek

LETS TAKE TO THE HILLS

Noelle

Yes I have been waiting for Emily to teach us about mushrooms 🍄

Briana

I freaking loveddd this episode! Went out to my local health food store and just bought $30 of mushrooms. 😂 going to sauté up some lion’s mane mushrooms for dinner tonight.

Gretchen Piening

my college mycology professor pronounced it “fun-G”. I’ve prepared for this moment

Noelle

Im sitting here waiting for the blind items to start 🤣🤣🤣🤪 Loved this episode, want to read more.

Beth Kennedy

Not a mushroom but you can shove a clove of garlic up there for a natural yeasty cure 🧛‍♀️

syd

Denver is the perfect place to live as a conspiracy theory lover.

Beth Kennedy

My two fave podcasters omg this made my day!!!!!

Maeve

Would love to know your thoughts on Hunter Thompson. Been reading a ton of his stuff and he wrote a lot about the process of drugs becoming illegal [nixon stuff]. He had interesting ideas about legalizing all drugs and putting them in the hands of doctors

Lucy

So glad to hear from you Shannon. Usually you post on Wednesdays, and you hadn't. Glad to hear from you, is all!

Mari

I have mycophobia but this is just top tier entertainment ♥️

Aleksandra
