E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

But as a kid, you know, we would drink...

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

go to the grocery store, get a bunch of bottles of Robitussin, drink four to six ounces, you know, and it was a heavy substance.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

really bonded us like as a group because you know it made us incredibly empathic when we're on the high very kind of robot functioning robotically and like hyper pragmatically in a super abstract way um and having incredible adventures on on it um and so yeah so i didn't realize that after my robot testing phase and then it was mostly just weed and mushrooms for a long time and and lsd

E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

Not that I was like, I'll never do it.

E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

And then it was, you know, just those basic things for a while, just like marijuana.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

And stints of like not doing stuff for a while and coming back to marijuana, whatever.
