Hello and welcome to the Sci Guys, the show where we talk about the crazy, weird, and wonderful stories from the science world.

0:13.0

I'm Corey, and as always, I'm joined by my co-host, Luke Cutford, and this week's special guest, the fifth, SiG Guy, Noah Vince!

0:19.0

Hey!

0:20.0

Hey! Hey! This week we're talking about silly shrooms and psychedelic science.

0:33.3

But first we have a wee review.

0:36.1

This one comes from the Netherlands.

0:38.0

It says, best one out there, it's five stars and goes on to say, when I found out about this podcast, I couldn't stop listening.

0:44.0

Instead of listening to music, I mostly listen to this amazing podcast.

0:47.5

Perfect to have on in the background or just a laugh and learn something new at the same time.

0:52.7

Great podcast.

0:53.5

Ah, thanks. Very nice. What do you think of the podcast?

0:56.0

Just dig, dig, dig, deep down, and then just curl up into a ball until you form into like, you know, a very, a spore like thing, I guess, and just wait there. Stay dormant for a long, long time, okay? And then at some point your time will come, you'll sprout and you can answer the question. The question is, have you ever had truffles or magic mushrooms?

1:32.3

No. Well, no. Right now. Yes.

1:36.5

Yes. That was a very confusing answer, Luke. But that leads you on to my next point,

1:42.1

which is a quick disclaimer. I need to read that out for everyone. This disclaimer is, before we hop into this very special episode, we can't stress enough that this is not intended to promote or encourage illicit drug use or recreational drug use. We're recording this episode to demonstrate its effects in a controlled environment under supervision and with our

2:01.5

vitals like heart rate and whatnot being measured.

2:04.9

How do you measure what not?

2:07.9

All of us here at Syghai I strongly encourage you to follow your local laws and partake

2:11.2

2:14.3
