BENDER MENDER:
POST-PARTY RECOVERY
with Soft Landings' Co-Founder Zen Savona
You’re an artist when it
comes to how you party, but
but thank fucking god
somebody paid attention in chemistry class to science the fuck out of
Pack your eye mask, pop your electrolytes, and maybe thank past you for leaving a Xanax and a bottle of water on the nightstand - because this week, Pete and Bisq-it are tackling the art (and science) of party recovery.
From two-day wine hangovers to full-on multi-day festival ferality, our hosts get raw about liquid courage, extracurricular enhancements, and what it really takes to bounce back when your body feels like a crime scene. Enter Zen from Soft Landings, who joins the chaos to spill all about his supplement line designed to keep the party girls going without fully flatlining the next day. Let's just say, he brings the aforementioned "science" to the questionable "art" that our hosts put on display.
Expect talk of pre-drug drugs, post-drug drugs, MDMA “Sherpa” duties, calorie-burning dance floor cardio, and one unforgettable mushroom trip that had Bisq-it asking, “Did I just shit myself?” (spoiler: he did not).
Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a festival lifer, or just here for the feral confessions, this episode is your guide to bending without breaking.
Warning: Side effects include sudden urges to dance until sunrise, text your dealer like a project manager, and maybe — just maybe — treat your liver with a little respect.
