  • Super High
    Sep 4 2023

    Dive into an episode filled with thrilling highs and mind-bending moments as Chuck takes you through some unforgettable tales. From the serene landscapes of British Columbia to an unexpected party at a college house, prepare to be entertained.

    In a scenic backdrop of British Columbia, Chuck recalls a summer with his cousins, where some bud heightened his senses, leading him to a challenging swim to a buoy in the middle of a lake. But the mesmerizing experience took a swift turn, as physical exhaustion caught up with him, culminating in an almost perilous situation.

    The gravity incident is another story on Chuck's list. His first attempt, paired with a zany Tim and Eric sketch, had unforeseen consequences. An evening that started with laughs transitioned to a bout of sleep paralysis, all set to an inexplicable soundtrack of classical music in an eerily silent room.

    Finally, an unplanned encounter with a tab paints a vivid picture of a regular college house transforming into the epicenter of a massive party. Faced with the overwhelming ambiance, Chuck is faced with the challenge to literally "ride the party"
