"He gave himself apparently somewhere around like 800 micrograms, and that is so— and this is fresh to the universe LSD. He gets home losing his fucking mind. And remember, like, you know, anyone who's taking acid, around hour 6 hour 7, you're like, I just wanna come down. And you know you're gonna come down. He didn't know he was gonna come down."

About this episode

Comedian Christina P. hosted Duncan Trussell on Your Mom's House podcast for a wide-ranging, unfiltered conversation covering airport hygiene disasters, childhood trauma, and disturbing revelations about Austin waste management. The episode opened with the hosts dissecting viral TikTok personalities, including the notorious Horny Cowboy who posts explicit content soliciting his wife's exhibitionism, and adults obsessing over LaBooBoo collectibles. Trussell shocked listeners by claiming he worked as a male sex worker servicing female clients after arriving in Los Angeles, describing the experience as traumatizing. The conversation shifted to travel-induced stress waste in airport bathrooms, with Trussell theorizing that anxious travelers urinate and defecate uncontrollably, contaminating all terminal carpets. Christina disclosed alarming information from her child's field trip to an Austin garbage dump, stating workers find severed human heads and limbs quarterly, with murderers strategically distributing body parts across multiple dumps. The hosts also explored the history of LSD, with Trussell detailing Albert Hofmann's nightmarish 1943 self-experiment involving an 800-microgram dose with no knowledge of duration or effects. Throughout the episode, the pair maintained their signature dark humor while critiquing Disney adults, analyzing disturbing TikTok content including a woman who films nightly bedtime routines and another claiming marriage to Shia LaBeouf's clone, and mocking performative social media behavior.
