ABOUT THE EPISODE
What does a week of ayahuasca do to your mind? I sat down with comedian and StarTalk co-host Chuck Nice, who did ayahuasca for a week in Costa Rica and says he has never been more scared in his life.

Chuck opens up about his mental health and why he still believes in medication and therapy, the ego death that showed him parts of himself he hated, and the beings he says he met between dimensions. We also get into why he thinks mixing religion and government is dangerous, why the luxury car he wanted left him with regret, why he tips 20% on the whole bill, and the 90% top tax bracket under Truman and Eisenhower.

He ends on why we're here: nobody knows, but while we're here, our job is to take care of one another.
