The story revolves around Graeme Barrett, who shares a humorous and surreal experience of his first time taking mushrooms and his subsequent adventures. The story begins with Graeme and his girlfriend visiting his friend's house in LA, where they consume a lot of Snoop Dogg's wine and listen to whale sounds from cassette tapes. Later, they take mushrooms, which cause Graeme to experience a vivid hallucinogenic trip.
The next day, they take an Uber to their Airbnb, but they struggle to exit the Tesla due to its unique door mechanism. Graeme, in an attempt to explain the situation, yells at the driver, who lets them in without responding. They repeat the same struggle in the Airbnb, and Graeme eventually cuts the air to exit the car.
Upon reaching their Airbnb, they find that the mushrooms are battling with the Snoop Dogg juice in Graeme's stomach, causing him to experience severe gut rot. Graeme's girlfriend falls asleep, and he initially thinks she's dead, leading him to contemplate the logistics of transporting her body back to Canada.
However, he eventually falls asleep and wakes up the next day, where he and his girlfriend go for brunch. The story ends with Graeme jokingly suggesting that they transport her body on the cart at the airport, as he prefers to sit with a dead body rather than a stranger. The story concludes with the moral that if your friends are on mushrooms and they fall asleep, they're probably not dead.
