Liner notes

This December 17, 2021 episode of The Adam Dunn Show is a legendary "Reunion Session" that bridges the gap between old-school outlaw history and cutting-edge psychedelic science. Broadcast from the Denver studio, the show features Marcus Aurelius of Golden Road Farms, who shares his journey from gorilla growing in the clay of Pennsylvania to running a commercial breeding operation in the hills of Oklahoma. We are also joined by Bucky, who recounts the 30-year mission of keeping the original Bubble Gum genetics alive, and Travis (Tyler Fluck), who recently swept 1st and 2nd place at the Psilocybin Cup. Between the technical deep dives into mushroom "Goo" extractions and the hilarious running gag about "Flicking Beans" (which Dave learns the hard way), this 3.5-hour session is pure "DunnDeal" gold. A masterclass in genetic preservation and psychedelic innovation! Marcus Aurelius from Golden Road Farms joins us to discuss the transition from PA gorilla grows to Oklahoma commercial scaling and breeding for bud worm resistance. Bucky drops the history on the legendary "Done Cut" of Bubble Gum and the mission of keeping the lineage healthy since 1993. Then, Psilocybin Cup winner Travis (Tyler Fluck) joins the desk to break down the chemistry of mushroom "Goo," methanol extractions, and the future of freeze-dried crystalline psilocybin. Plus, J’Lauren (J Lo) gets the keys to the Cali Mist vault, and we navigate the "Flicking Beans" dictionary debacle.
