I understand that, Larry.

Okay, well, I haven't advised the
physical inventory.

You do.

I'm not going to dispute that. I'm not
disputing that.

Okay, well, who does advise the
inventory?

Exactly.

Well, how am I the asshole?

Okay, well, you can call Dennis, and I'm
going to have to explain to him the

exact same thing that I had to explain
to you, and he's going to have to

it to you again.

No, well, Larry, because I've done your
job, and you're not the first one of you

that I've dealt with.

Yeah, that's right.

Okay.

Fucking call him, then.

Tomorrow.

Yeah.

Yeah, I know, that's what I told him.

Well, two things could have happened.

Well, he might have received some POs
they didn't register.

Exactly.

And he could have just fat -fingered it.

Well, no, those things happen, but he
doesn't need to... That's what I said.

Okay, yeah, no, no problem.

Yeah Larry.

I know.

No, it's fine.

Okay, bye.

It's been broken.

I never, never, I never needed it more.

Oh, my heart.

Oh, my heart.

It ain't working.

It's lame.

Cause you left me to keep on thinking.

Welcome to Cops Stop Donut Shop, where
the cops come to shop and the donuts

never stop. How can I help you?

Yes, I have a pickup order for the
Mighty Oak.

Okay, so your order isn't quite ready
yet?

Will you pull around to the next window?

Sorry for the delay, sir. It'll be about
five more minutes.

This is outrageous!

The entire purpose of ordering online is
so that I do not have to wait!

I understand that, sir, and I apologize,
but if you'll just pull around... I

will... Do not pull around.

My order has been placed.

I can't have you hold up the line. You
can come inside.

Do you see the size of me?

There is no door that can contain the
mighty oak.

I'm sorry, sir. I can't have you wait in
the drive -thru.

Hooray, honk, at the mighty oak.

Shanghai!

Hey, what's up? Nothing. What's going
on?

Nothing's got a fork hanging out.

Hey, there's a restaurant tonight.

You want to come over? I'll order some
pizza.

Sure, what time?

Like, 8?

Alright, let me shit in the shower and I
can head over in like 20 minutes. You

need anything?

No, I'm good.

I thought you were the

pizza.

I'm not the pizza.

You ordered already, though?

Yeah, the beer's through.

All right, well, let me go back out and
smoke real quick, then.

Really? You gotta get high just so you
can eat? Yeah, man, I got an appetite

problem from the stress thing.

All right, whatever.

Just hurry up. You should be here any
minute. Don't I have, like, a track wrap

or whatever?

I don't know, man. Just fucking smoke.

Oh, hey, what's up?

Hey.

Nice shirt.

Oh, thanks.

You like pork and rowdy?

Yeah, that shit's funny.

You more of a pork dork or a roundhound?

I wouldn't really use either one of
those to describe myself.

Oh, me neither.

But I'm probably more of a roundhound.

But I'm mostly a Mighty Oak kind of guy.

Oh, me too, dude. What the fuck is going
on out here?

You Ivan?

So why were you talking to the pizza
guy?

Oh, he commented on my shirt.

Stupid fucking show.

No, it's stupid.

It's a talking pig and a basketball that
smoke weed and fart all the time. Wow,

it is not a talking pig and basketball
that smoke weed and fart all the time.

It's a talking pig and basketball who
work in a donut shop.

Oh yeah, okay. That's way less fucking
dumb.

Yeah, they smoke weed sometimes.

It's not like it's a bunch of fucking
stoner jokes.

It may not be stoner jokes, but it's
definitely stoner humor.

I don't know what that means.

It's surreal and absurd.

Why? Because they have a...

talking tree and a tomato.

You've heard of fucking Alice in
Wonderland?

You're saying Pork Run Roundy is Alice
in Wonderland.

I'm saying Alice in Wonderland is the
best example of literary nonsense.

Like, the characters and settings don't
have to have meaning unto themselves.

You can still project commentary onto
them and, like, make your comments via

absurdity.

So, they make a lot of comments about
the geopolitical ramifications of an

inflamed butthole? Inflamed butthole?
Where do you get this shit, man? Yeah.

There's satire, parody, social
commentary, and sure, some fart jokes

they didn't even make comments about
that.

Dude, just because a show addresses
their own shitty writing on the show

make the writing any less shitty.

In fact, it's kind of like a slap in the
face.

Like, they're aware of how much they
suck.

You just don't get it.

What is there to get?

I'm sorry.

It's not your style.

Yeah, I guess crap isn't my style.

Sorry they can all be in the line of
duty.

Are you going to sit there and tell me
that's not a great show?

It's fine. It's a good show.

Yeah, it's considered one of the best of
all time. Yeah, it's considered a

really good show, but it's the only
series you've ever seen. Yeah, but it's

best one.

Yeah, but your opinion on best is
irrelevant.

You have no frame of reference.

Yeah, but it's considered really good.
Yeah, it's basically universally

acclaimed as one of the great early
prestige shows, but again, you wouldn't

the difference.

And even if it wasn't critically
acclaimed, you'd still be defending it

was the greatest show of all time.
You're only using critical acclaim in

single instance to justify your opinion.

Yeah, I'm using fact to back up my
opinion, thus making it a fact.

We gotta change the fucking subject.

I have to stop talking to you. We gotta
fucking... I'm supposed to come over

here to relax after work. What relax?

I thought you work from home now.

I do, but it's still stressful.

How can that be stressful?

You don't have to deal with people's
bullshit all day. Oh, no.

I'm still dealing with people's fucking
bullshit all day. Now I'm just limited

in what I can do about it.

Oh, that's a shame.

Isn't it still better, though?

Working from home? Yeah, better.

It still looks like that.

But it's better.

I've just been fucking really stressed
out lately. I don't know what the fuck

do about it. Dude, that reminds me. A
guy at work gave me some mushrooms.

You should totally do some with me. I
don't know, man. I ain't never done no

fucking mushrooms.

Perfect time to start?

I don't know. I don't think so.

Oh, I'm sorry. You only take legal
drugs.

It's not a matter of legality. It's a
matter of health and safety.

What fucking health and safety?

You drink beer.

You smoke weed. You eat junk food all
the time.

Yeah, but those things aren't going to
kill me tonight.

If you go drinking and driving.

Okay, yeah, sure.

But if I go drinking and driving, I made
a choice. The alcohol didn't kill me. I

killed me.

I'm not going to put something in my
body if I have no fucking clue what it's

going to do to me. Dude, they're just
mushrooms. You'll be alright.

I know they're just mushrooms.

I've thought about taking mushrooms.

I'm so afraid of them.

Nothing to be afraid of, man. You'll be
alright.

Yeah, you say that, but it's still
fucking with your brain.

Yeah, but it's not like acid.

You're not going to freak out.

Shit will get all wavy. You'll lose
track of time. You'll laugh a lot.

Kind of like smoking weed.

And you don't even have to start with a
bunch at one time. You just microdose

them. Yeah, I thought about that. Is
that what you're doing?

Yeah, that's what I'm doing.

First night, though, I ate like an
entire ace.

Just had to make sure they were legit.

They're pretty legit?

Oh, they're legit.

They're not psilocybin, though. They're
similar, but they're something

different.

All right, well, what kind of mushrooms
are there? I'll look them up.

Oh, I don't know what they're called,
but they're pretty much the same thing.

I don't even know what kind of fucking
mushrooms they are. I don't know, man.

I'm not going to... I'm more just going
to fuck with my anxiety.

No, dude, it'll actually help with your
anxiety.

It's like a cure -all.

Anxiety, depression, PTSD, whatever
you've got, it'll make that shit feel

better. If it was a cure -all, everyone
would be doing it. Dude, everybody is

doing it.

Besides, the pharmaceutical companies,
they want to keep this shit illegal.

Keep selling you their bullshit drugs.
If it was a cure -all, the

companies would be the ones selling it.
Why would they want to market something

that's actually going to make you feel
better?

They want to keep you sick, keep you
addicted to their pills.

Weed is still illegal, but there's
actually a synthetic weed they can get

prescribe nationwide called dronabinol.

This. has no side effects.

There are no side effects because it's
all natural.

All those pills, they have side effects.

You know why?

To sell you more pills? To sell you more
fucking pills.

You take pills.

Yeah, I take pills.

Okay.

Regardless of what you say, and
certainly not because of it,

I might be down to try the mushrooms.

Fuck yeah, you might be.

All right.

So I'm just going to chop these bad boys
up in a tiny little chunk.

What exactly is the dose?

It's approximately that much.

One chunk.

Yeah, but how much is that?

It's a fucking chunk, man. It's a
mushroom. It's not going to be a meter

Well, that's for inhalers, so of course
not.

Look, dude, the whole point is you're
taking a psychedelic mushroom.

consistently for a couple of weeks.

You're going to start to feel like you
have more energy, you're feeling more

positive, you'll fucking shit better,
everything.

Fucking colors will look brighter.

What about negative effects?

None.

Fucking judge of that.

How long do I have to take it?

Take one every day, consistently, for a
couple of weeks.

After that, you should be pretty good
for a while.

How long is a while? Why is everything
so fucking vague?

Because it's a fucking plant, man. It
comes from the ground.

Results may vary.

I'll probably just keep taking them as
long as my guy can keep getting them.

Is it safe to just take them non -stop?

I don't know.

But I take Kratom every day.

Adderall. Whatever's gonna get me going.

It's probably fine.

I don't really give a shit.

So what do I do? Just eat one?

Yeah. Yeah, you should eat one now.

Take the rest home, throw them in the
freezer, take them out and eat it every

day.

I don't know, man.

Are they gross?

Do you like mushrooms?

No. Yeah, then they're fucking gross.

Chew it up real quick, chug a beer
afterwards.

Okay.

Here we go.

Di adios, a manana.

Haga -daga.

Agadaga.

I bet you wake up tomorrow feeling
fucking amazing.

See about that.

Until then, you want to drink some beer
and watch some wrestling?

Well, that ain't nothing new. I think my
word is to prove that I'm a fool.

Look at her.

She's sitting there.

Eating that fucking branch.

Hey! You can't have outside food in
here!

It's not food.

It's a fucking branch.

Well, you're eating it.

So what's your food?

I'm a quality cocksucker.

This is all I can eat.

Don't give me that shit. What's your
milk drinking odds?

We sell salads.

First of all...

I'm lactose intolerant.

Bitch.

Second of all, fuck you.

You know what?

I'm gonna take this shit. Ma 'am, if you
don't throw that branch back in the

fucking forest where it belongs, I'm
gonna have to ask you to leave.

Excuse me?

This branch is part of my culture.

Are you fucking kidding me? Do you see
me eating slop and rolling around in

shit?

I don't see it.

But I sure should smell it.

Bitch.

Did you call me a bitch?

Hey, I'll call them like I see them.

I tell you what, after I eat these
leaves, I'll show this branch so far up

fucking ass that you'll be having a luau
tonight.

See, that's fucked up.

That's appropriation. You try to make
physical violence, it's a little

aggressive for an uptight intellectual
bitch.

Man, Puck, what the hell is going on out
here?

Nothing. She just went crazy. I don't
know, man.

Sorry I'm late. I overslept.

That's okay. It was just a couple
minutes.

Did you have a late night last night?

I don't think so. Not really. Not that I
can remember.

I must have just been sleeping good or
something.

What would you like to talk about today?

I don't know.

Nothing on my mind. I haven't really
thought about it.

Oh, well, I had a nightmare last night.

Do you want to tell me about it?

Yeah, it was nothing crazy. I just was
brushing my teeth, and then when I

to leave the bathroom, I ran into this
ghost thing or whatever, and then I woke

up. And that was right before I came
over here.

Have you ever had a dream about ghosts
before?

I don't think so. Not that I can
remember.

I don't really have nightmares, though.

You haven't had any dreams in a long
time, right?

Yeah, no, not really.

Have you cut back on your drinking?

No, not really.

So you were drinking last night?

Yeah.

Well, why else do you think you would
have had a dream?

Or a nightmare?

I don't know.

I don't think I've done anything any
different.

Well, I mean, maybe.

For the past two days, I started
microdosing some mushrooms.

You've been taking psychedelic mushrooms
the past two days?

Yeah, okay, yes, but just like little
tiny pieces, just like one a day.

Okay, well, it is possible that this is
stimulating something in your mind.

Where did you get these mushrooms?

From my brother.

Do you think I should be taking them?

I'm not going to tell you to take a
legal drug.

I don't recommend it.

But I do understand that there have been
some studies on psychedelics that

suggest that there are benefits for
people with mental health issues.

But I can't fully recommend you try
anything like that without talking to

doctor first.

Yeah, I know. I understand.

So I'm going to try them.

I don't think that was some kind of
mushroom -induced nightmare or anything.

I think I've just been eating and
sleeping like shit.

What do you hope to achieve by taking
these mushrooms?

I guess I'm hoping that they're going to
get rid of my anxiety or at least

help with it.

Just be careful.

And be sure to reach out to me if the
anxiety gets to be, you know...

Too much to handle.

How has your anxiety been generally?

I don't know. I mean, it was better, but
not like 100 % better. I feel like I'm

down significantly from my maximum
stress level from a few months ago, but

lately I feel like I've been exhibiting
all

the symptoms of my depression and
anxiety, like not eating well or

Everything's just kind of all fucked up.

When was the last time you created
anything?

It's been a few weeks.

Well, I'm not going to tell you to stop
taking those mushrooms.

But I do want you to cut back on your
drinking.

And I want you to try and create
something this week. I think it will

feel better.

That's why I started taking the
mushrooms. My brother was like, that's

make you feel better.

Look, there's no cure -all.

There's not one thing that makes
everyone feel good.

exercise, meditation, healthy eating,
and everyone needs a way to cope,

that's a hobby or a vice or whatever it
is.

I have plenty of those.

You do.

And I just wish you would use some of
your more healthy ones when in times of

increased stress.

Hey, what's up?

Nothing. What are you doing?

Painting.

Hey, what's up?

Nothing.

Hey, you want to come over? Play some
video games or something?

Yeah, I guess.

What time?

I don't know, man.

Whatever.

I got nothing going on.

Okay, yeah.

Give me a few minutes. I'll head over.

How long have you been out here?

I don't know.

Are you hungry?

I'm not.

Not hungry.

Actually,

I'm not really even sure what that is.

It's augmented reality.

I don't know what that means.

Okay, so like... You know what virtual
reality is?

Right. It's like a virtual...

Reality. Well, this is augmented
reality.

So, like, you look through a camera lens
and see the real world, but they'll

change it or augment it in real time.

It's mostly used for, like, mobile games
or, like, furniture stores.

So AR is something for furniture -based
mobile games?

No.

Okay, so you hold up your camera and
you, like, see everything in the room,

right?

And there's like a ghost there or
something.

All right, never mind.

Okay, so the couch. So you have a couch
and you see it in the space and you can

move the camera around and the couch
will like stick to the 3D space if it's

actually there. Okay. And that's what AR
is.

Fucking dumb.

Okay, well that's not all I can do.

Okay, so say we all wear AR glasses all
the time, like AR goggles. Right.

Then you'll create like your...

like the way you're going to look in the
game or in the world or whatever, and

your friends will all do it too, then
you could meet up with your friends from

Argentina or Japan or whatever, and you
could talk to them, and it'll be like

they're sitting in the same room with
you.

Yeah, that's kind of cool, I guess.
Yeah, and it's used for virtual cafes

concerts, wrestling events, things like
that, real -life gaming, social

networking. That's what they consider
the metaverse.

All right.

Yeah, that's kind of cool. Yeah, it's
pretty cool. There's some shitty stuff

that can happen there too.

Like what?

Well, I mean, other than the obvious.

Yeah, other than the obvious.

Okay, so say you're wearing your AR
glasses all day, like walking on the

in the real world, and I'm offended by
guns. I don't want to see gun stores.

So anytime I walk by one, I'll change it
to a candy store or something.

Or like turn...

Abortion clinics in the churches or
something like that. Exactly. So

that offends or you want to be shielded
from, you can, like, narrow your view in

that way.

Wow, that's kind of already a problem,
though, isn't it?

Exactly. That's what really kind of
exacerbates that whole echo chamber

I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Yeah, no shit. All right, think about it
this way.

Like, all these companies have, like,
all your data and stuff, right? So

they just want to make an app that,
like, puts all your public data out

Nothing crazy.

Just like your voting history, sexual
orientation, things like that.

Imagine having that shit floating above
your head like it's a goddamn video game

or something.

Oh, dude.

People are going to be talking shit
about my taste in music.

Exactly. It just makes it way easier to
prejudge people.

Fuck.

This is why we have to do something.

What do you mean?

Oh, no, I'm just... I mean, like, if
humans don't slow down...

they are going to be the death of
themselves.

I don't think there's a lot we can
really do about it other than hope for

best.

Yeah.

Unfortunately, when left to their own
devices, humans have not always turned

their brightest and best.

You haven't made it this far.

Yeah, I guess that's something.

Again, not a lot we can really do about
it.

Yeah.

Yeah, maybe.

Maybe not.

Oh, hey, speaking of which.

How are the mushrooms treating you?

All right, I guess. I mean, I don't
really notice anything different. I'm

like, sick or anything, but, you know,
haven't noticed any significant changes.

It's only been, like, what, four days?

Something like that.

I think you'll be feeling it pretty
soon.

Okay, cool.

But until then, you want to get smashed?

Yeah, I mean, I think we could probably
do that.

Oh, man.

That's real knee slapping.

It's not funny.

Oh, fuck.

How does that even work?

Shut up. Would you just help me? Sure.
Yeah. You want me to blow you?

Being real, Corker. Seriously.

Fuck. Was it a woman?

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Corker, you stop messing around. Go in
the closet and get my fucking pump.

You have a pump?

Oh, my God. I swear to fucking God, if I
go flat, I fucking die.

Are you serious?

Do you really want to find out?

I don't know. Maybe.

Fucking eat it as well

Be careful.

Why? Because it's not too late.

Too late for what?

To stop them.

Stop who from what?

it's a television that a multi -task to
speak up we are

alive

has driven us into the storm.

Gone away.

We emerged from the depths of
quintalized none before.

This is our island.

Give me a call.

Later.

Hey, what's up?

Just give me a call back.

All right. Coming back.

Later.

Hey, what's up?

Hey, what's going on?

Nothing. Call me, what's up?

Oh, you called me.

What's going on?

Nothing, just calling back. I didn't
have my phone with me.

Okay, well, what's going on?

Nothing. I was just painting.

What's up?

I'm actually driving.

Hey, I'm close by.

I'm gonna pick you up. I gotta do a
couple things.

Yeah, sure, I guess.

Do you feel any yet?

I don't know, I mean, I guess.

Today I feel great. I didn't even
fucking smoke and I feel like a fucking

million bucks.

Yeah, man.

After the first few days, it really
starts to work its magic.

I feel like a whole new guy.

Anything weird happen?

Like what?

I don't know, like any weird dreams?

Weird dreams?

No.

My sleep is usually pretty fucked up
anyway.

Insomnia.

Sleep apnea.

Sleep paralysis.

But the past few days have been amazing.

I didn't even drink last night.

Damn. It's awesome.

Wow, you've been having weird dreams or
something?

Yeah, I mean, I guess.

They're just dreams.

It's only weird because I haven't dreamt
in a long time, you know?

But, uh, I don't know. Maybe I've also
been hearing stuff.

Mm, that could be normal.

I mean, you've never taken mushrooms
before, right?

Probably just getting some fringe
hallucinatory effects, you know?

But what are we talking about here?

An indiscernible rustling?

A beep?

Voices? I don't know, not voices, but
like, yeah, I don't know, man, like I'll

hear something in the other room, or
like maybe I'll feel like there's

in the room.

Oh, that definitely sounds normal, man.
It's like being high as fuck.

Yeah, I know, but I don't feel high.

It's different.

It's supposed to be different, you know?

I wouldn't worry about it until there's
something to worry about.

And right now, I don't think you have
anything to worry about.

Are you about to tell me to dress the
mushrooms?

No, but that's actually good advice.

Alright, give me a minute. I gotta ship
a couple things.

Really, man?

I wasn't even there that long.

You want to get some coffee or
something?

Yeah, sounds good.

Thanks, man. What else you got going on?

Nothing, really.

I was actually supposed to swing by my
buddy's house and pick something up, but

he just texted me and said he's not home
or something. I don't know.

You want to get fucked up?

You know I do.

I really do.

But, um, I don't know. I feel good for
once. Maybe I should go into my work

without a hangover.

See if the mushrooms really do solve all
my fucking problems.

Mmm. It's probably a good idea.

Let the mushrooms proceed unfettered.

You know, probably get high, have a
couple beers.

That's not a big deal.

You don't think it's going to get any
worse, do you?

What? Like the dreams and stuff?

Nah, man.

If anything, it's going to get better.

Much, much better.

That guy at work, the one who gave them
to you, did he take them?

That's a good question.

You know what? Let's give it like three
more days.

I think you're right there.

Right where?

Right on the precipice.

The precipice of what?

Of becoming and being.

Hey, what's shaking, Butterbean? You
want to rip this bowl?

Fuck you.

Give me a second.

What the hell are you doing?

Selling some stuff online.

What kind of stuff, man? You ain't got
no stuff.

I have stuff.

I sold a couple old records, some comic
books, T -shirts. I didn't know you had

any comic books.

Me neither.

I found them in the closet.

Motherfucker, those are mine.

Oh, no wonder.

Well, selling pretty good.

Man, you piece of shit. What else you
got for sale on there? Nothing really.

Just like some socks or whatever. Use
basketball.

Okay. Now, I see I might take this the
wrong way.

It's a fucking picture of me. Well,
yeah, but it's not what it looks like.

It looks like you want to sell me to
some motherfucker on the internet.

Okay, well, then, yeah, that's exactly
what it looks like.

Yeah, Larry, that's fine.

Can I help you?

I certainly hope so. I've traveled an
awful long way to see you.

Oh yeah, I don't know why is that.

You don't recognize me.

No. Should I?

I'm Agent Green.

But I guess if you weren't expecting
me... No.

I wasn't expecting you.

I don't know who the fuck you are. What
do you want?

You don't have a message for me.

Okay, it's time for you to go.

So sorry to have bothered you.

I'm sure you're a busy man.

A well -oiled machine like yourself.

What's that supposed to mean?

Can I ask just one question before I go?

Sure, what?

Are you in control?

What?

You should take my card.

So what would you like to talk about
today?

I guess the mushrooms.

You're still taking them.

Have you had any more strange dreams?

Yeah.

Would you like to tell me about them?

No.

You don't have to tell me about them.

Can you tell me why you don't want to
tell me about them?

They're too real.

How do you know you're dreaming?

I wake up.

So they're pretty vivid dreams, huh?

Incredibly vivid.

And like... I don't know, maybe
sometimes I wake up and I don't even

I've fallen asleep.

What do you mean? Do you lose time?

I don't know if I lost time, but... It's
like when you wake up from an

unexpected nap, completely disoriented.
You don't know where you are or what

time it is.

And then you start to remember.

It's kind of been like that.

And then with the dreams being so vivid,
it's just been scary.

Okay.

I want you to do two things.

Okay. What do I have to do?

First, I want you to stop taking the
mushrooms.

See if the nightmares clear up.

Okay. I think I can do that.

And then I want you to write a note in
your phone.

I'm writing it every two hours.

Just set an alarm for every two hours
and then add to the note. And if you

up and you don't know where you are, you
just check the time and see if you made

all your checks.

Okay. I think I can do that.

I do want to talk to you about the
dreams a little bit.

Have you been confronted with yourself
in any of these dreams?

Yeah.

How'd you know that?

Are you familiar with Young's theory of
the shadow self?

No.

Well, his theory is that the negative
parts of our personality that we don't

want to see, we shove them down into our
subconscious, into the most primal

parts of our brain.

So our fears, our anxieties, dark
fantasies.

greed, anything that we might see as
negative in another person.

Only if we don't confront these
feelings, we run the risk of falling

them. So the idea is that we need to
integrate these negative parts of our

personalities into ourselves and accept
that anger, sadness, fear, anxiety,

these are all natural feelings.

And once we learn to do that, we can
address what's causing these problems

rather than feeling guilty.

about having the feelings in the first
place.

So you think it's possible that these
dreams are a manifestation of my shadow

self because I'm not dealing with my
anxiety?

I think that's a possibility, yeah.

You can also start to write a dream
diary and we can talk about it in your

session.

I can tell these haven't been pleasant
experiences for you, and I don't want to

make you relive them if you don't have
to.

But they're only dreams.

And even if they are hallucinations, and
I understand that those can be very

frightening, but when you understand
that these feelings and these images are

only in your mind, you can confront them
the same way you can learn to confront

your anxiety.

You tell yourself, yes, I am feeling
anxious.

Yes, I am feeling scared.

And that's okay.

It's okay to have these feelings.

They will pass.

Our bodies have these triggers for a
reason. And when we learn to accept the

symptoms, you can address what causes
them, and you can tell yourself, these

things aren't going to hurt you.

You aren't in immediate danger.

And you can start to live with the
anxiety, and hopefully the nightmares

away as well.

Well, that all sounds great in theory.

I understand it sounds like a lot of
homework, and you don't have to do it

at once.

First, I just want you to stop taking
the mushrooms. Do you think you can at

least do that?

I think I could probably do that.

You know you can get the door.

Yeah, you know you can get the door.
Yeah, but I'm doing something.

Oh, and I'm not?

You're watching TV and you're right by
the door. I'm watching a movie.

And so what?

It's not for me anyway.

Well, I can see they didn't order food,
so you know it's not for you.

Exactly.

Goddamn motherfucker came out with a
goddamn door in his own fucking

Do you have a moment to talk about Corn
God?

I don't.

He's not any worse for you than normal
God.

Sorry, I gotta go.

Just because faith in him is processed
differently doesn't mean your soul

any differently to him.

No thanks, man.

Told you it wasn't for me. I don't even
like corn.

Yes, you do.

Yeah, I do.

Fat fuck.

Man, that Agent Green sure is a well
-oiled machine.

He likes to keep his chassis clean.

It's a clean machine.

Yeah, that's what I read.

Do you think he's ready?

It's our job to make him ready.

End of the line.

Hey, buddy.

What the fuck are you?

Well, I'm a teratoma.

Like a tumor with hair and teeth?

Yeah.

And eyes, and a mouth, and vocal cords?
Come on, that's fucking ludicrous.

Then what am I?

Well, you can't be real.

This is either a dream or a
hallucination.

So you think this is a dream?

It would have to be.

Okay, then change something.

Alright, like what?

I don't know.

Make me go away.

Okay. I don't believe in you. You're
just a fucking figment of my

Go away.

Am I still here?

Yeah.

Why won't you believe me?

Because you're a figment of my
imagination.

Okay, fine. You're a tumor.

Why are you thinning it? Are you an old
twin that I absorbed?

Let's say I'm not what I say I am.

Then what am I?

I don't know. Some kind of mix of like a
distorted view of myself

and like a depiction of my messed up
guts and stuff because of how shitty I

Okay. Do you think I'm some sort of
manifestation of your poor health in a

or a hallucination?

Yeah.

Yeah, I think that's probably what you
are.

Why? What do you think you are?

Why would you ask me?

What information could I possibly have
if I'm just a figment of your

imagination?

Okay.

Well, let's say you're not a figment of
my imagination.

What would you think you are?

If I wasn't a figment of your
imagination, well... Well, I don't know.

I guess I could be a lot of things, like
you said.

I could be a manifestation of your
stress and anxiety, mounting health

it's possible.

I could be an alien spore growing inside
of you that you pulled out.

Like an invasion of the body snatchers
type thing?

Yeah.

Is that what you think you are?

No. Then what do you think you are?

I don't know.

I just know you pulled me out of your
fucking head, and here I am.

So I might be a dream or a hallucination
from the mushrooms.

From your poor health, lack of fresh
air, all the pollutants and toxins in

air.

So what are you implying? That since
I've been working at home all this

time, there's chemicals in here that are
making me sick? Is that what you're

saying? No.

I'm not saying that.

I'm just saying, don't blame the
mushrooms.

I'm just saying, there are other things
that might possibly be at play.

I think that's a fucking stretch.

Maybe.

Yeah. Did you know that acetone can
erase your memory?

Did you know that?

No. Like when people have paint.

Well, imagine inhaling that same stuff
little by little over a long period of

time. Imagine the long -term effects.

What are you saying? That you're some
kind of acetone hallucination?

No, I'm not saying that. I'm not saying
that at all. I'm just saying, ask Kel.

Ask Ivan.

Did they have these fucked up dreams
when they took the mushrooms? Well, so

what? Just because nothing happened to
them doesn't mean shit. What about bad

trips? What if I have some kind of
undiagnosed mental disorder? You know,

I'm bipolar, or maybe I have early signs
of schizophrenia.

There you go.

Why are you blaming it on the mushrooms
when you have schizophrenia?

I'm not saying I have schizophrenia. I'm
just saying different things affect

people differently.

So don't say it's not the fucking
mushrooms, okay? You know, I could find

Just stop taking them.

Okay.

Is that what you're going to do?

I don't know.

First, I have to wake up from this
fucking dream.

Okay, I tell you what.

Why don't you just leave this bathroom
and see if it's a dream?

Just go about your day and see if I'm
real.

You tell me when you wake up.

Yeah.

That is what I'm going to do. Don't try
to fucking scare me.

I'm going to wake up as soon as I walk
out of this fucking bathroom.

I'm going to walk out of here. Another
kind of weird shit is going to fucking

happen.

See, you are a fucking dream.

He's trying to give me the fucking
runaround.

Don't scare me.

Hey, what's up?

Nothing.

It's been a couple days. What's going
on?

Does everything look drawn to you?

What?

Nothing.

So what's up, man? You been all fucked
up or what?

Yeah. Fucked up how?

Like, going out of my mind.

Are your dreams creeping into your
waking life?

Yeah.

Is that supposed to happen?

I don't know about supposed to, but
yeah, it happened with me the first few

days. Why would you say there's no side
effects?

Because I wouldn't call that a side
effect. That's more like the primary

You said nothing fucking weird happened
to you.

I didn't want to scare you.

I thought if I was microdosing them, I
wasn't supposed to feel any of the

hallucinogenic effects.

I didn't say that.

Yeah, but everything I've read... Yeah,
but everything you've read has been

about psilocybin. You said these are
pretty much the same thing. Yeah,

basically.

I mean...

They're both hallucinogenic mushrooms,
so technically that is true.

Well, fuck you, man. I'm not taking them
anymore. It'll pass.

No, fuck that. Kel said the same thing.

Ah, yes.

Kel. Yeah, he took them too, and he
didn't warn me either. Because there's

nothing to warn you about.

You're not going insane.

As a matter of fact, I think you're
going to find that you are considerably

sane after this ordeal. So you're still
taking the mushrooms?

Me? No.

No, I don't need them anymore.

I feel great without them.

And you're not hallucinating right now.

Dude, my mind is as clear as it's ever
been. You know, there's a joke to be

there. But regardless, I don't think I
can do this anymore.

Think about it this way.

Let me tell you what you're
experiencing.

When you sleep, your brain is running
through all this shit that happened to

throughout the day, right? Your dreams
kind of filter that stuff.

Help you work through traumatic events,
fears, things like that.

But what's happening here is you're
actually being confronted with your

and your waking life.

And yeah, it's vivid, it's intense, but
it's still just a dream.

Think about yogis and Taoist monks that
meditate and transcend consciousness.

They're reaching a level of focus and
concentration that's akin to sleep.

They're entering a dream state while
awake.

You're basically receiving supercharged
enlightenment.

And yeah, I understand how that can be
scary, but you just got to keep it in

perspective.

It's all in your mind.

It's not real.

It's too real.

I'm not ready for fucking enlightenment.

Hey, a few are.

But what are you going to do?

How long will they be in my system?

I don't know.

But I'm telling you, you're almost
there.

I don't think I can do this anymore.

Do you want my advice?

Not really.

Can you help me?

Is it done?

Excuse me?

Do you remember me?

Yeah, you're that weird fucking guy.

Get the fuck away from me.

WER138.

CRM114.

Listen, man, I don't know who the fuck
you are, and I don't know what the fuck

you want, but if you say one more stupid
fucking code, I'm gonna punch you in

the other eye.

There he is.

There's that figure.

Listen, man.

If you don't fucking leave, I'm going to
make you leave.

As you wish.

Oh yeah, and by the way...

It's not real.

It's not real.

What's not real?

You. You're not real.

Did you ever wake up?

No.

That's because you were never asleep.

Or, well, you're currently experiencing
an irregular sleep pattern.

It's kind of what my brother said.

Well, he's right.

Great. So when's that going to stop?

When I learn to embrace my shadow self
and reach enlightenment?

What?

My brother said the mushrooms are
basically supercharging my subconscious

bringing me face to face with my
anxieties.

Is that what he said?

That's... interesting.

You don't think that's what's happening?

I shouldn't be saying this.

But it's the mushrooms.

They're not right.

The spores have started to fester in
your brain.

What?

They've started growing and burrowing
into your temporal parietal junction.

You're stuck between your sleep cycle to
a point where you don't even notice

when you're falling asleep and waking
up. I bet you haven't even realized how

much time you've lost.

I'm surprised you're not in a crippling
state of dread and confusion.

I am.

I'm just trying to convince myself
that...

It's all in my mind and that it's going
to go away.

Well, it is in your mind, but it's not
going to go away.

Why should I suddenly believe anything
that you're saying?

Because I came from your brain.

And that's what I think is going on in
there. Well, then why didn't you say any

of this before?

I had time to think about it after we
talked.

So if all this is caused by the fungus,
then what are you?

I think I'm you.

Maybe what's left of you.

So what now?

I don't know.

So I'm definitely dreaming right now.

I wouldn't say you're definitely
anything.

And I wouldn't say that I'm definitely
anything either.

Well, what am I supposed to do?

I don't know, man.

I think we just gotta face what's
coming.

And what do you think that is?

I think you need to go down the hall and
find out.

Okay, this is a pretty good one.

Welcome to Cop Stop Donut Shop. When the
cops come to shop and the donuts never

stop, how can I help you?

Uh... Hey, isn't this that dumb bald
motherfucker that's always watching us?

What? Hey, yeah.

I guess it is.

What do you know?

Am I in the cartoon?

What the fuck are you talking about?

Like, did I somehow get sucked into the
Porker and Roundy show?

Um, Mr. D?

What the fuck is it?

That weird ass homeless guy is always
staring at us and talking all funny.

Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to
leave. No.

This isn't real.

This is just a cartoon. I'm not supposed
to be here. This is just a dream.

If you know it's a dream, then why don't
you change something?

Like what?

Anything. Stop Mr. Destructive Populous
from blasting your ass.

Okay.

Did it work?

Nope.

How are you feeling?

That's a difficult question to answer.

Have you stopped taking the mushrooms?

Yeah. I think it was too late.

What do you mean by that?

Yeah. What do you mean by that? Who let
you out the house?

What was that?

What? You said something.

What? You said something.

I think I'm okay.

What? I think I'm okay.

You think you're okay?

Yeah. Have you tried looking in the
mirror?

Is that a medical term? It

means something.

But not everything has to mean
something.

What about your fucking story?

I wouldn't say it takes anybody to the
dark depths of their mind.

No, I admit it was scary at first.

But now I feel like a whole new man.

Why'd they take the money?

time time give us everything everything
including the space to be

gravity all around you and me Holding
each moment in

place. As the sun shines into the void.
Like a jewel at the bottom.

Of a grand world. It's so.
