A fitness influencer story surfaces that kills the comedy energy: Connor Murphy, 32, died in Thailand. Someone pulls up his final video — it's genuinely disturbing, all darting eyes and manic tongue movements — and the toxicology is pointing toward meth. The detail that crystallizes the tragedy: he was redosing ayahuasca alone every two hours in his apartment. Matt immediately goes on a skeptical rant about the entire ayahuasca culture — the thousand-dollar Peru retreats, the guys who've done it fifty times and are 'still clearing,' the obvious cult mechanics of having a shaman tell a tripping Westerner they're part of an ancient lineage. His theory: if you're even a little malevolent, it's the easiest grift on earth. Shane and Nate push back gently — they'd consider trying it once — but Matt's bottom line is unambiguous: whatever you do, don't do it alone in a Thailand apartment every two hours.
