Peptide Frenzy, Weed Anxiety, Balto and Mr. Freeze Was The Good Guy | Slumberpod Ep. 19

What's up sleepyheads! This one starts with a genuinely important question: why do they say "mush" to sled dogs? Nobody knows. Nobody has ever known. Moving on.

Episode 19 is one of those where you sit down to talk about one thing and two hours later you've accidentally solved multiple problems and filed several dibs claims. The boys get into peptides (just steroids with a better PR team), the Dubai chocolate trend and what the next one is going to be, and a full get-rich-quick breakdown for anyone with a spot on the Lower East Side and a graphic designer on call. That conversation somehow births the Broke Willy Wonka — a man who went too hard on Dubai chocolate futures, has boxes stacked to the ceiling, kids sleeping on inventory, wife texting him that they need to talk, crying and shaving while singing Pure Imagination. His Oompa Loompas want healthcare. It's not going well.

From there: weed strains named after emotions (you know they're made up, you buy them anyway), an honest conversation about panic attacks and weed anxiety, the part of comedy that can never be taught, and the Balto-runs-Dubai-chocolate bit that nobody asked for but everyone needed.

Then they figure out what to do with Billionaire Row (affordable housing, obviously — single moms with six kids hanging clothes out of the skull and crossbones window), make a unanimous declaration that they are not cocaine people but would absolutely play one on a VICE YouTube video, spend way too long on Gargoyles and whether a reboot would have them dealing with the manosphere, and close out with the most heartfelt Mr. Freeze defense you've ever heard on a comedy podcast.

Also: saxophone lungs, a dab story, and the weed store guy being visibly impressed, which is the last thing you ever want.
