Full Episode
My neighbor had mushrooms growing out of their wall and I was being blamed for it.
It's perfect.
Yeah. And I thought it was a joke. It was one of these things where the super burst into my apartment holding this mushroom. And he was like, what did you do? What did you do? And I, of course, have never talked to them about mushrooms. So it was surprising that he would even make the association. And I was like, oh, that's a good one. It's pretty funny.
And then I realized that he wasn't joking and that he actually thought that I had, like, infected the building with spores in some way. Oh.
So they kicked you out?
No, no. Oh, okay. I mean, of course, the real issue was not... It also obviously wasn't a psychedelic mushroom. Right. It was, like, some, like, Copernicus species actually identified it for him. And... But it was indicative of severe water damage. Oh, right.
So it's like, okay.
That's not good. At the point where there are mushrooms bursting through the drywall, it's like...
What else could be going wrong? You might want to check for mold too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that was part of it. And yeah. Cool. Manhattan, huh? Dude. So obviously I've been a fan of yours and your show for a very, very long time. But it wasn't until a couple years ago that I made the connection between you and your dad. Because I was also a huge fan.
