Okay besties, buckle up because this episode is a trip—literally. This is an unreleased older episode we recorded and edited a while back (May 2025), but we’re finally ready to release it! Jami and Alexis are back with part 2, and they’ve brought on mushroom king Gianluca to go full fungi mode. Alexis kicks things off with a lil Kentucky Derby recap (mint juleps were had), and Jami introduces us to the world of… dental daddies? Yep, it spirals from there into a full-blown daddy taxonomy.
Then, things get deep. Jami’s suddenly a Jeopardy girl but ONLY if Colin Jost is hosting (Jeopardy Daddy, obviously), and we dive into the science and soul of psilocybin. Jami nerds out on neuroscience, Alexis shares her trauma-fueled mushroom saga (spoiler: she’s DONE), and Jami reveals that post-trip, she’s now spiritually bonded to the color blue.
Laughs? Yes. Brain science? Weirdly, also yes. Trauma bonding over mushroom trips? You already know. It’s old but gold—let’s get into it. 🍄💙
Hi. Hello. We know. It’s been a minute (okay… since May 2025 😬).
In this very necessary catch-up episode, we (Alexis and Jami) explain where the heck we’ve been and what’s next for I’m Bored, What’s Next? We experiment with outdoor recording vibes—so yes, this leads to a tangent on ducks, obviously, and getting caught by passersby during precarious conversations. Whoops.
Things then take a spooky turn when Alexis casually traumatizes Jami with her very real, very unsettling ghost-scratchy story. We can all thank her for the nightmares.
If you missed us, we missed you. If you didn’t… sorry we ghosted you 👻
Fact Check 🦆
✔️ Duck dingos are alarmingly long

✔️ We regret knowing this—and now you do too. You’re welcome.

Intro Producing Genius: @cityofbrooklyn
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.
SHOUTOUT TO OUR BOIII @cityofbrooklyn for our INTRO
Alexis is officially off the market, and we’re breaking down every detail of her engagement—because what’s the point of saying “yes” if you can’t talk about it for hours on end? Jami shares her own proposal story, and spoiler: she finally admits she’s a full-blown Swiftie. We discuss how Taylor Swift concerts are no longer just musical events but intergalactic phenomena capable of causing actual earthquakes (Swifties are literally shaking the world).
Then, we relive the chaos of throwing a book release party for Onyx Storm, where we may or may not have emotionally (and physically) exhausted our friends in the name of literature. And just when you think this episode can’t get any more unhinged, Alexis preps for her colonoscopy—because nothing says “romance and pop culture” like a deep dive into bowel prep.
Tune in for love, Swiftquakes, party trauma, and medical oversharing. You’re welcome.
Also, potty talk.
Tune into the first episode of "I'm Bored. What's Next?" where Alexis tries to convince Jami that aliens are watching us. The girls sate their need to talk unabashedly about all things Wicked. Jami proves she knows absolutely nothing about Tom Cruise. Each shares a story of her true chaos demon nature. And let it be known...vampires are talking on TikTok.
