Here's a preview of guest alarmist where I step aside and let a guest walk us through a personal tragedy and together we figure out who's to blame. We never talked about the poppy seed

myth though. Oh yeah please what is that? I remember it was like if you right it was like

if you tested honestly if you would be like I had just had a poppy seed bagel and then they'd be like oh that's why those

that's opium right that's like you can test positive or opium yeah for pot. I just wanted to make that clear for you.

I thought 100% oh my god. Yeah that's Ophia. You guys are.

H-H-Ophium, but I just remember being in the bed being like,

I was just, it's a poppy season.

The puppy's thing they'll say the-

I don't have Ophium. Yeah, they're like, we didn't even test you for opium.

Now we're testing for opium.

Yeah, like that is the drug from Mulan Rouge.
