COVID, Dog Parties & Taco Bell Sprints: A Very Ariel Kashanchi Story
About this episode
Ariel Kashanchi shares her unforgettable week dealing with COVID, a cringe-worthy date, and an ultra marathon at Taco Bell.
In this wild episode of Mad Genius , Ariel Kashanchi takes us through a week she won't soon forget: experiencing COVID for the first time, going on a cringe-y date with a guy who may or may not be patient zero, and somehow still finding the energy to attend a dog party (yes, that's a thing). As the cherry on top, she signs up — and survives — a Taco Bell "ultra marathon" (definitions may vary). Come for the germs, stay for the laughs. Ariel dives into what it's like to be contagious and socially awkward, how she held her boundaries mid-cough, and the absurdity of chasing tacos while trying not to collapse. You'll laugh, you'll groan, and you may never eat a Crunchwrap the same way again. Trigger / disclaimer: This episode contains talk of illness, dating mishaps, and mild cardiovascular recklessness. Not medical advice — always consult professionals when feeling sick (and maybe skip that ultra marathon).
