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!
paige

Shannanagens

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.
Bronagh
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 🫡🫡

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
Sara Davila
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
Allizzle
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
RJ
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 😂
Eleonora
Just watched « Fantastic Fungi » on Netflix, loved the documentary!! ☺️

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.
Tess
Love this - fantastic fungi is so goood - I also tell everyone I know to watch haha
TMay
‘…full fkn scavenger mode!’ I was laughing so much during this ep! - Sounds like it was a blast to record!
Mari

Ahlana
When Shannon mentioned this episode before I just KNEW it’d be with Emily
Michelle
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.
Grem Boa
Thinking bout the mushrooms thriving at Chernobyl gives me hope 🥲
Bri Emme

Gretchen Piening
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.

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

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

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

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