Welcome to the first of two fungus-fueled episodes—Alexis is still riding the philanthropic rollercoaster of her personal 9 Year and decides to save the world one unexpected donation at a time. Meanwhile, Jami questions the act of tasting a name after stumbling upon an unfortunate literary event.

Then it’s time to get spore-y. The girls dive headfirst into the fungus among us—turns out mushrooms might actually run the world, and honestly? Respect. They unpack the wild science, question their own symbiotic entanglements, and then welcome not one but two gamer guests—Gianluca and Zack—to break down The Last of Us and reveal how gaming might be the new therapy. Spoiler: these guys are low-key geniuses.

So if you like science and hot takes on fungal supremacy, this episode’s your weird little soulmate. 🍄🧠✨

Fungi = lots of fungus.

Hubris = excessive pride or self-confidence…didn’t know this was a vocabulary lesson, Zack.
