Welcome back to The Big Red Button - the Fallout podcast that's trippier than a radroach on Jet!

In this episode, our wasteland wanderer Jake accidentally ingests some glowing mushrooms, sending him on a psychedelic journey through his own mind. As Jake hallucinates talking squirrels and imaginary polar bears, he's forced to confront traumatic memories from his time in Vault 56, including the mysterious Overseer Bauer.

This is our first ever scripted, narrative adventure! We hope you enjoy, and we've got our next regular episodes ready to rock and roll!

[00:00] Buckle up, buttercups, 'cause we're about to take a trip... and I don't mean to the local Super Duper Mart! Our vault-dwelling hero Jake is about to embark on a MUSHROOM-FUELED JOURNEY that'll make you say, "War. War never changes... but my perception of reality sure does!"

[05:30] Things get SQUIRRELLY when Jake's hallucinations introduce him to a furry friend with some not-so-friendly intentions. Is it a radroach? Is it his subconscious? Or is it just really good writing? (Spoiler: it's all three!)

[18:00] Hold onto your Pip-Boys, folks! Jake's trippy adventure takes a VAULT-TASTIC turn as he confronts his past and tells Overseer Bauer where to shove his "for your own good" attitude. It's like group therapy, but with more yelling and imaginary snow!

[31:00] Just when you thought things couldn't get any deeper, Gotfree the robot drops some EXISTENTIAL TRUTH BOMBS that'll make your circuits sizzle. Who knew a Mr. Handy could be so... handy with life advice?

• Jake eats glowing mushrooms (because OF COURSE he does)

• Imaginary squirrels are NOT your friends

• Vault trauma: it's not just for breakfast anymore!

• Gotfree: part robot, part therapist, all sass

Will Jake survive his trip? Will Houston ever finish his book? And will we EVER stop breaking the fourth wall? Tune in to find out! Same wasteland time, same wasteland channel!

Remember, listeners: Just Say No to glowing fungi... unless you want to star in your own episode of "The Big Red Button"! Stay rad-iated!

Lots of thanks to special guest, Will Aitken!
