Shanes perspective on the psychedelic movement, science and mysticism is truly one of a kind. Turn up the volume and see if you can keep up with him! I did but only barely.  His new comedy special TRIPS: First Dose is now live on YouTube on the 800lb Gorilla channel.  Shane Mauss is an award-winning comedian (Conan, Kimmel, Comedy Central, Prime) with a fondness for interviewing scientists about the bizarre and counterintuitive ways the mind works and turning what he learns into solo shows that blend philosophy with comedy. Originally recognized for his cerebral, absurdist writing and understated delivery, he veered off the traditional path to dive into bigger ideas with themed shows about consciousness, animal mating behavior, mental health, mythology, adaptations, cognitive errors, biology, and AI. After a 111 city tour about psychedelics in 2017 which led to appearances on the biggest podcasts, his documentary \u2018Psychonautics\u2019, and the Comedy Central webseries \u2018Tales From The Trip\u2019 Shane became known as someone who could speak to wild experiences from a surprisingly grounded perspective. Shane just released \u2018The First Dose\u2019 of a new two-part psychedelic comedy special, TRIPS. \u2018The Second Dose\u2019 drops April 19th (The anniversary of the discovery of LSD aka \u2018Bicycle Day\u2019) ","author_name":"Psychedelics Then and Now with Zach Leary","author_url":"http:\/\/zachleary.net","html":"
