Today we're discussing the deliriant state known as Eiriel, and the two reports from the olde internet chan board which coined the phrase. This episode comes complete with a big wet smooch from the Hatman’s shadowy lips. We talk internet culture, enjoy tangents on figures like Frederick Brennan, and try to make sense of what drives people to consume life threatening amounts of over the counter allergy medicine.

Bennies Part 1! And it's a doozy...


We discuss the shockingly popular trends around so-called recreational Benadryl use, and the digital communities that have emerged to support this largely solitary activity. We follow The Hatman down a dark wooded path filled with creepy crawlers to figure out why he would telepathically misgender people, and to try and find out where we can get a funky hat like his.

We're finally giving into our targeted Instagram ads and taking our mental health into our own hands (with an internet nurse practitioner who shares a name with a certain former First Lady). It's 2025 and we're getting our Ketamine from a compounding pharmacy in Ohio and shipped through the goshdang US postal service. 


*Trigger Warning for discussions of suicidal ideation.

Finally one for the dolls! JK all our episodes are for the dolls. Do trans people like Ketamine more than cis people? I don't know, but it sure seems like it sometimes when you hang out with a lot of trans people who like Ketamine! We read from Hannah Baer's excellent book Trans Girl Suicide Museum, and discuss some the factors that contribute to higher rates of drug use among the queer community.

We read at length from an early account of explorations with Ketamine from the self-proclaimed High Priestess of Ketamine herself: Marcia Moore. We talk about Marcia's life, and seminal therapeutic Ketamine text: Journey's Into the Bright World. This is a text heavy episode, but I think it's worth it for the canon. Featuring a cute John & Toni Lilly cameo later in the episode.

The John C. Lilly episode! We discuss John Lilly's love and abuse of dolphins, potential three letter agency affiliations, float tanks (he invented them!), and of course, Ketamine. We read at length from John's autobiography, The Scientist, and discuss his proclivity for taking massive amounts of Ketamine later in his life. RIP John Lilly you would have hated ChatGPT.

The seminal episode of The Trip Report Report! We discuss Ketamine's origins in the Parke-Davis lab and how it was fast-tracked through the FDA by testing it on prison inmates for use in the Vietnam war. Then we dive into some trip reports from Erowid and yes - there's a large jar of piss involved. IYKYK.
