00:02:36.000And I started saying to myself, I'm like, oh my God.
00:02:38.000I do fucking say Washington and Warsher.
00:02:41.000So I trained myself to get out of that.
00:02:43.000But anytime I see something political on TV, if I hear someone say, we're in Washington, then I'm like, oh, you're from that area.
00:02:51.000The same way with the days of the week I was telling you, Monday, Tuesday, we do our podcast, Crab Feast comes out every Tuesday, and I listen to announcers like Phil Simms.
00:03:00.000He's like, well, they were working out on Monday.
00:03:02.000And I'm like, yeah, you're probably from that area.
00:03:04.000That's how I pick up little shit like that.
00:03:26.000I was like ew And I got rid of it first time I heard I was 19 I did this thing I was on local television at 19 and I heard my vote my accent I was like what in the fuck is that sound coming out of my mouth?
00:03:38.000I gotta correct that Do you ever slip into it?
00:06:01.000We could go to a dive bar right now and have a plate, a bucket of rocks, like little pony rolling rocks, and a plate of Muscles Marinara that will blow any fucking restaurant out here out in a dive blues bar.
00:06:14.000I miss the readiness and availability of delicious seafood everywhere I go.
00:08:13.000If my dad could come back here right now for 24 hours, what would I do?
00:08:17.000And we'd be up on the water crabbing at 5 a.m., sun up, that's right when you're allowed to start dipping, and then home by 11, and then steam them up, have a big-ass fucking crab feast, and probably watch a game.
00:08:30.000I'd be like, hey, these are the Ravens.
00:09:19.000It's me and my two brothers and my dad.
00:09:22.000And what you do to do a homemade one, you take a bucket, 5-gallon bucket, or even just a smaller one, just some quick-crete with an eye hook in it, okay?
00:10:44.000Well, if you're going out over the summer, I'm saying, let's say you go crabbing ten times during the summer, you can probably get away with that whole trot line.
00:10:50.000Maybe replace one or two that might slip out.
00:11:39.000There is nothing better than pulling it right out of the water and taking it home and eating it.
00:11:44.000Not getting it from the store, not being, you know, who knows how they stored it.
00:11:49.000And there's dudes on the side of the road that when they have more, they'll just pull over in their pickup truck, they'll put a fucking cardboard sign down, 20 bucks, bushel, and you just get them and go.
00:12:23.000Someone reaches over, they pull the rope up, put it on the spool, and then your natural progression forward slowly brings the line up and then sets it back down in the water.
00:12:33.000And you've got to go slow because you're pulling those crabs up from the bottom.
00:14:45.000I mean, our backyard was the size of this table, you know what I mean?
00:14:49.000So I grew up out in the county, about 20 miles or so outside the city, and my dad was like, look, I want you to get a good school education, but all of my family was in Baltimore.
00:14:58.000He's like, that's where you're going to go get your street education.
00:15:00.000I'm so glad, because I see shit from a mile away.
00:15:26.000There's some spots where you can go wrong.
00:15:30.000We're about to take this walkway underneath this tunnel, and this sketchy fucking white dude sketched out just starts circling us with those dark eyes and this crazy smile, and traffic is hauling ass right close by us, right?
00:18:31.000Yeah, that's that gigantic fish that lives in Bolivia, in Ecuador.
00:18:37.000Arapaima is a fish that lives in the Amazon, I believe, somewhere in the rainforest.
00:18:42.000And the locals used to catch them all the time.
00:18:46.000It was like a big thing for their food, but they're worth so much money for Americans to go down and fish for them, and now they protect them.
00:18:56.000My good friend Steve Rinella has a podcast called Meat Eater.
00:19:27.000And they survive in water when there's a drought, so when the water gets super low, they're surviving in water where literally the water's up to half their face, and they're waddling around.
00:19:39.000So you could just walk right up to them and catch them.
00:19:42.000Damn, I wouldn't walk up to anything with teeth like that.
00:19:44.000Well, they don't have teeth as big as the muskies.
00:19:48.000If you go back, Jamie, to those pictures, see, there's a bunch of them in water where their upper body is exposed.
00:22:04.000But yeah, you take them, you gotta cut through that scale, that scaly outside with wire cutters, and then once you get through all that, you take the meat, and they really like the smoke in it.
00:22:16.000They put it on a smoker, that's apparently the best way.
00:22:19.000Look at this guy's little baby ones and his fish tank.
00:27:17.000And I just was like, if I don't catch a fish all fucking day, this is already worth it.
00:27:21.000I mean, they're just right next to us playing, playing.
00:27:25.000And if this guy was so good, if we didn't drop our line and pull something up on the first one, he'd pick them up and he'd take us with his depth finder, go find something else.
00:27:34.000And we'd go by those big boats of everybody reaching across.
00:31:14.000You know, I've been thinking about this and talking about this on stage a little bit, but as far as death goes, to go out, the most beautiful way I've ever seen any creature on this little rock in outer space go out, the most original beautiful way is that dove that got killed by a Randy Johnson fastball.
00:37:59.000This fucking lady in England had a raven, a pet raven.
00:38:02.000You know that British, that little, it's like an upside down U, that car, that weird old car.
00:38:09.000It's just like a little, like a parenthesis upside down.
00:38:13.000She had a pet raven that was, I guess they're the most intelligent bird.
00:38:19.000And this thing, she would keep the keys and ignition and the windows down, and she'd be like, we're gonna go for a ride!
00:38:24.000And the raven would fly in the car, start the car with its beak, sit on the door, she'd get in, she'd start driving, and then he would just fly right next to the car wherever she went.
00:39:07.000I saw a video of one using a tool to get another tool so that it could get into something.
00:39:12.000Like they did these tests to find out how intelligent they were to see if they could do problem solving in order to get food.
00:39:20.000And so it had to use, like, one small stick in order to pull out a larger stick and the larger stick to pull out this thing that got him the food.
00:42:46.000Like, once they found out that these things are smart, they're like, look, in comparative tests, when it comes to, like, problem solving, they're as smart or smarter than chimpanzees.
00:43:01.000The limitation is that they've got these feet and wings.
00:43:05.000But if you gave them, like, fingers and had them, like, problem-solve stuff, like, spell their name and shit, and, you know, you give them some food, they might be able to do that.
00:43:13.000Because chimps can kind of do stuff like that.
00:45:22.000So we were staying in this hotel, and they were telling us, hey, when it gets dark out, that bridge over there, all the bats nest in that bridge, and they come out.
00:45:30.000So during the daytime, I was with my family.
00:45:33.000We walked under the bridge, and you hear...
00:45:34.000That cluster is hanging underneath the bridge?
00:47:28.000It's a very controversial thing, but the idea behind it is that there's an electric frequency that all humans and animals, especially predators and game animals, give off.
00:47:40.000And that this frequency corresponds to the movement of your muscles and that you give off this thing that animals can see.
00:48:32.000We stayed at a resort once in Mexico, and you go into the hotel room, and, you know, they have, like, a little table there, and they have, like, a little table full of peanuts with, like, some hot...
00:48:45.000Like hot chili powder on them and stuff like that.
00:48:48.000And then they had these crickets in a bowl.
00:49:52.000So we had a street light in front of our house, and my brother and I would go out, and my dad was like, you can go out and play catch as long as you're in front of that light and I can see you.
00:50:01.000So we'd just go start playing catch, throw a tennis ball around.
00:50:04.000One night, we're just throwing it high up toward the light so that you could see it coming down.
00:50:08.000And this bat just starts swooping at the ball the whole time.
00:53:16.000They have a pattern called Sub-Alpine, Open Country Sub-Alpine, I think it's called.
00:53:22.000But it's just a bunch of dots and splotches.
00:53:26.000The whole idea is just to break up your outline.
00:53:29.000So when someone looks at you, or an animal looks at you, they don't know what the fuck they're seeing.
00:53:33.000So the idea is that this hex suit, somehow or another, it blocks out your electrical output, whatever that frequency is that these animals can see.
00:56:58.000They have like a smell of a cow, cow bull, like a, not a cow bull, cow elk.
00:57:06.000They'll put it on trees and shit, try to drag a bull over.
00:57:09.000Because when bulls are in the rut and the females are in heat when they're coming into estrus and the males want to breed them, apparently they just smell it and they go fucking bananas.
00:57:30.000The way they mask our smell, like their sense of smell is so powerful that it's almost impossible to mask it unless you use ozone.
00:57:39.000And so what a lot of guys do is there's a company called Ozonics and what they do is they'll literally hang a unit above their head and it blows ozone gas all over your body and it collects Like, your scent gets combined with the ozone,
00:57:56.000and that hits the deer, and the deer doesn't know what the fuck you are.
00:59:41.000That's when I was always scared, because we would have, there's deer running all over Maryland.
00:59:46.000When you're driving those country roads at night, I mean, three, four of them will come out crossing and shit, and you're like, holy fuck, and they're monster, you know, they're monster.
00:59:56.000I don't know if they ever really work, to be honest with you.
00:59:58.000Those work, yeah, you put them in the front of your car.
01:00:00.000Yeah, and then you don't hear it, but apparently they hear it, and it's enough to, but I had them on, they would still come right up to the edge of the road and shit.
01:00:07.000Yeah, when the rut's going on, they get confused.
01:00:53.000Like, what kind of a strange system did nature come up with where it makes the girls horny and able to give birth only, like, for a couple of, like, six weeks?
01:01:35.000That's a long fucking way to smell something.
01:01:38.000What they say is really scary is if you're in places where bears know that people hunt, they hear a gunshot and they think it's a dinner bell.
01:01:46.000So like if you shoot a deer, you only have a certain amount of time to get that fucking deer out of there before a bear shows up.
01:01:55.000Kodiak Island is famous for two things.
01:01:57.000It's famous for gigantic brown bears, some of the biggest bears in the world.
01:02:02.000It's also famous for Sitka black-tailed deer.
01:02:04.000So these Sitka deer are really delicious deer and people go over there to hunt them.
01:02:09.000But when that gunfire, the bear hears that and they go straight towards the sound of that gunfire because they know there's going to be a gut pile there soon.
01:02:18.000So even if you miss, there's probably one coming your way.
01:02:23.000So you have to dress it out there, too, or you just got to get it and haul it out?
01:02:27.000Well, if you gut it and leave the gut pile and take the meat away, the bear's probably going to go to the guts, and you're probably going to be safe.
01:03:53.000The bear plowed into them, and one guy hit the bear with trekking sticks, like mountain trekking sticks, hit it in the head, and the other guy got knocked over and was literally on the bear's back for several steps as it was running down the hill.
01:04:06.000And then he fell off of it, and the bear took off.
01:04:09.000That thing had momentum downhill coming at them?
01:04:30.000So while they're gone on round trip one, this bear had already claimed it, got scared, heard them come, and then saw, oh, you're taking my shit, and was like, fuck that, and came back to defend it.
01:04:39.000Yeah, so it didn't come by to chase him off.
01:04:54.000It didn't know where to go or what to do, and then it got hit in the head with the trekking sticks, and then, you know, just fucking crazy.
01:05:00.000Yeah, but like one of my friends had a, my friend Remi had a pistol just for that, just for bears, but he had set his pack down, and he, like in his mind, had thought, well, if a bear comes, I'll be able to get to my pack.
01:05:35.000When you watch them fight each other and they're biting each other's faces and shaking each other back and forth, and it still doesn't hurt them.
01:07:28.000Well, there was one that got into some guy's house, and the guy made a video of the thing in his house howling, and I was playing it for people like, oh, that's like sound effects, right?
01:07:36.000I go, no, no, no, that's what it's really making.
01:13:33.000And what may be the most successful program ever aimed at the huge constrictors that are killing the Everglades' mammals, wading birds, and alligators.
01:14:00.000Because at first they were extinct and then they dialed that back and they're like, oh fuck, now they're overrunning shit, go ahead and get them.
01:14:06.000Well, I used to live in Florida when they were going extinct.
01:14:25.000We have people who don't have jobs, who have day jobs, people have night jobs, some people have computer jobs, technical jobs, and they're all hunters, herpetologists, military veterans.
01:14:36.000All these people are doing this, going to the Everglades, trying to solve this problem, they're saying.
01:14:42.000Adventure and a desire to defend the Everglades.
01:16:14.000And as he's in the middle of doing the baptism, a fucking crocodile lunges up out of the water and snatches him in front of his whole congregation.
01:22:18.000I don't know if it goes in water, but they just natural and squat and then they'll just have it and have someone there to catch it instead.
01:22:27.000I think in Baltimore, Mercy, it's called Mercy Hospital, they were the first, I'm pretty sure they pioneered the underwater birth, like you can go get in a tub there, a big tub, and then they say, I guess that's the most natural way to have a baby, I guess it makes sense if you're in a placenta and you're just basically transferring into another one before you come out instead of just boom out,
01:22:47.000but they say it's, I don't know how it's natural, I mean, how can it be natural if water's not attached to it?
01:25:37.000Just a shoddy little circumcision job?
01:25:39.000Every year, kids get infections from circumcisions and they lose their dick.
01:25:44.000Every year, also, kids, this has happened multiple times, kids have been circumcised by a traditional, you know, what is it, a mohel with a rabbi, and the rabbis had herpes, and they've transferred it because the rabbi has to suck the kid's dick to stop the bleeding.
01:26:29.000Robert Baker estimates 229 deaths per year from circumcision in the United States.
01:26:34.000Bollinger estimates that approximately 119 infant boys die from circumcision related each year in the U.S. 1.3% of all male neonatal deaths from all causes are from circumcision.
01:26:50.000There are several case reports of death in the medical literature.
01:28:11.000They're going to look back on this 100 years, 500 years from now, and they're going to make fun of it the same way we make fun of powder wigs.
01:28:17.000But it's even worse, because you're doing it to babies.
01:28:19.000The babies can't eat, they don't even have anything to say.
01:28:21.000By the time they're adult, they're like, what happened to my dick exactly?
01:28:24.000Like, oh, we just thought it was ugly.
01:29:46.000There's a whole community of people that are trying to grow their foreskin back that are really angry and they feel all this pain and emotional pain from the fact they cut their dick cut when they were a little baby and they had no say in it.
01:29:59.000And apparently it makes your dick less sensitive when you do that.
01:30:02.000And your dick is naturally self-lubricating, the head of your dick is.
01:30:06.000And as soon as they cut the foreskin off, then it dries out.
01:30:33.000The fact that it's still around in this day and age with all that we know and all the risks that we know about where kids actually do get sick and die from it.
01:33:24.000Kinnison's book, My Brother Bill, or My Brother Sam, his brother Bill wrote a book about him, and he said that Sam was one way, like a normal kid.
01:35:20.000The dome is a weird thing, you know, with all the weird fucking shit going on up there and all the different synapses and neurons firing and one little...
01:35:30.000You know, rock that somebody throws at you, bonks you in the side of the head.
01:35:38.000There's so many stories about that, too.
01:35:40.000I've talked to so many doctors and neurologists that are, you know, they study the human brain, and it's one of the most perplexing things.
01:35:48.000It's like, you can get the same, two people.
01:35:50.000One person gets hit the same way, nothing happens, and the other person is a different human being for the rest of their life, and they'll struggle with that injury forever.
01:36:16.000And it was not her voice that came out.
01:36:19.000And a 55B, sweet and sour chicken, Hong Kong style.
01:36:22.000It's just been such a horrible thing to go through.
01:36:25.000She was diagnosed with foreign accents...
01:36:31.000The Inquisitor reports others who have suffered from the same change in voice had severe migraines.
01:36:37.000Only 61 cases have been identified since 1941. One explanation for the new tongue is that her migraines, which she experiences as many as 10 times or more per month, are leaving her with neurological damage.
01:36:50.000The condition usually follows traumatic brain injury or a stroke.
01:36:54.000Those with FAS also experience loss of vocabulary, but call What?
01:36:59.000It doesn't have any more than a woman talking.
01:38:28.000So that's when the whole story comes up.
01:38:31.000Six months ago, jaw surgery to fix an overdose changed Lisa's speech, too.
01:38:35.000I thought she was playing around with me.
01:38:37.000I thought she was joking with me, but then she showed me that, like, the doctor had told her she was diagnosed with foreign accent syndrome, and she searched it, and then I was like, oh, Lord.
01:40:02.000And then you spoke to your sister on the phone and noticed that your voice was changing.
01:40:07.000Yeah, I started off with just a lisp, and I was a bit concerned, and with ill health I tend to get over fatigued, so I thought it was that.
01:40:17.000So I went to bed, and I'm still there the next morning, slowly this lisp was getting a little bit strange.
01:40:22.000I ran stock on trends, my neuro was up there, at that time I could speak, I recalled a message, nobody got back, I thought, Okay, nothing to worry.
01:40:33.000Wednesday morning it was starting to go like an alien and by Thursday it had gone completely and then I lost my swallow at the same time.
01:42:52.000And I started noticing that when I tried to talk and say some things, my tongue felt like it wasn't right.
01:42:57.000I had someone ask me again about my accent, so I'm just making a new video.
01:43:01.000I had a headache for about three days, got rushed to the emergency room, and this was in May of 2015. And so they put me to sleep, observed me for a little while.
01:44:08.000But I think there's also people that are fucking crazy and they just decide that they should have been born a woman or a man or they go back and forth.
01:46:09.000The other times when he's off looking over here, I'm like, oh, you don't know what I'm talking about.
01:46:13.000But we would go, like, he had an apartment, and I would go visit him from time to time, and he had poetry and sayings and stuff written all over the wall.
01:46:25.000And he's like, well, at night, when I'm home alone, the doctors come in through my window, they drop liquid acid in my ears, and they knock me out, and then they start taking samples of my body.
01:46:36.000And after they leave, the love of my life comes, and I can't communicate with her.
01:46:41.000So this is how I communicate with her.
01:46:44.000These are there for when she comes in to speak for me.
01:47:29.000Yeah, there's some people who are sympathetic to it to the point where, God, I want to say it's called allophrenia.
01:47:37.000There's some sort of a disease that occasionally infects people or gets people that visit people in the hospital that are of schizophrenia.
01:47:48.000So someone will come, like a family member will come visit you, and they will get diagnosed and they will get admitted themselves.
01:51:26.000I think that's what's happening with this allofrenia thing, if that's what it's called.
01:51:29.000I might be remembering that incorrectly.
01:51:31.000But this thing that being around a schizophrenic person, like whatever weird error their brain is making, your brain tunes into that error and you start going crazy too.
01:51:43.000As soon as that shit made sense, I was like, I gotta get the fuck out of here.
01:51:50.000He's never hurt anyone, but he's still, you know, these days, he's probably in his 60s, not in any kind of shape.
01:51:58.000But back then, when he still knew martial arts, he was dangerous.
01:52:02.000But he never hurt anybody, but he knew how to.
01:52:06.000And So one day, there's Eastern Avenue in Baltimore, for lack of a better term, the Ventura Boulevard of Baltimore.
01:53:45.000And he stands up and it's a female judge and his mom, my Aunt Marguerite, she's my great aunt, my grandma, I'm sister, but extended family big time and we're all there watching.
01:53:55.000And the judge says, ask the girl her side of things.
01:53:58.000She's like, well this happened and she's like, Would you like to speak on your behalf?
01:54:02.000And he's like, I just don't understand what I did wrong.
01:54:04.000I wrote a song for someone I care about and I just wanted to share it.
01:54:07.000And she's like, would you mind sharing some of the lyrics?
01:54:59.000Yeah, he would do things like he would show up to their place in a cab, demand they pay for it, they didn't, he'd throw a brick through the window.
01:57:16.000His mom died of breast cancer, and she would say all the time, I don't know how he even has a fucking throat left, and I'm dying of cancer over here, and he is.
01:58:48.000The common story is people that have a tendency to schizophrenia, or maybe they have a likelihood of developing it later in their life, acid trips, mushroom trips, heavy psychedelics tend to bring out schizophrenia.
01:59:11.000Yeah, man, I think, especially when you're young, you know?
01:59:14.000I mean, think about how many people have had horrible, horrible acid trips, just taken way too much and tried to fight it, and just been fucked up for days and weeks, and then you still feel slippery.
01:59:25.000Like, life feels weird even after those trips.
01:59:28.000I had a DMT trip one time that fucked me up for a couple weeks.
01:59:33.000Like, for a couple weeks afterwards, I'd be driving my car and I'd be thinking, there's gonna be a car that's gonna launch itself off the fucking, the oncoming lane and fly right into me.
01:59:42.000I was thinking, I had this image that was gonna be upside down and the car was gonna hit the windshield.
01:59:55.000I tried to think about what was possibly happening.
01:59:58.000I think it dissolved my ego so much and it made me think so much about how relatively unimportant every single person is in terms of the greater scheme of the universe that Whatever it did to me had broke down all my conceptions of myself,
02:00:19.000all my preconceived notions of myself so much that my ego was freaking out.
02:00:25.000So it tried to invent danger so I would have to be more primal to defend myself and go, look out!
02:00:41.000Why are we so committed to innovation and technology?
02:00:43.000I had all these crazy thoughts where I was trying to figure out what the purpose of the activities of the human race were that it was so bizarrely different than my normal pattern of thought that my mind just started coming up with all sorts of weird paranoid ideas with things.
02:01:00.000It took me like two weeks before I normalized.
02:01:03.000And I didn't do DMT again for a Years after that, years.
02:01:07.000Comedians have come on and talked about it.
02:01:11.000I'm obviously asking you because I'm ignorant.
02:01:14.000Is DMT, isn't that the chemical your body releases as you die?
02:01:17.000They think your body releases it as you die, but they don't really know.
02:01:20.000They know that your body makes it, they know that your liver makes it, your lungs make it, and they think that your pineal gland makes it, which is your third eye.
02:01:29.000And reptiles, it actually has a retina and a lens.
02:01:50.000I think this research was published over the last five or six years.
02:01:55.000So because of the fact that they know that now, they're assuming that human beings also produce it in the pineal gland, which would, you know, it kind of sort of verifies what everybody always thought the pineal gland is.
02:02:07.000They would call it the seed of the soul, that this is where your journey to the afterlife begins in the pineal gland and that this chemical gateway opens up and your soul passes through to the great beyond.
02:02:19.000But can it be like a bad trip on the way out?
02:03:01.000Ayahuasca is an orally active experience with DMT. What ayahuasca is, when you...
02:03:08.000If you tried to eat DMT, DMT is broken down in your gut by something called monoamine oxidase.
02:03:14.000So when they make ayahuasca, what they do is they take part of one plant, which has dimethyltryptamine, and part of another plant, which has something called harmine, which is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, MAO inhibitors.
02:03:32.000You've got to be very careful if you're taking mushrooms or something else that you're not taking MAO inhibitors as well.
02:03:38.000So you take this stuff together, and what it does is it gives you an orally active DMT trip.
02:03:43.000So as it's broken down by your gut, it's like a slow-release DMT trip that'll take several hours as opposed to this...
02:03:50.000Fucking rocket ship ride to the center of the universe that you get when you take it when you smoke it because when you smoke it or intravenous use if you You know go to a doctor knows how to do that that goes directly in your bloodstream and it's just so it is Impossible to avoid you cannot you can't hang on you're just it's gonna take you to the center of the fucking universe and you're gonna experience life forms and interaction with spirits and angels and aliens and just Gestures for me is a bunch of gestures that were giving me the finger.
02:04:21.000It was great giving me the finger like fuck you Like it was very very very very powerful But the Stanhope one was the only time I ever saw someone where I thought they were gonna die And I was thinking I can't what if I kill one of my best friends like what if I killed Stanhope?
02:04:37.000You know, I was like I don't remember.
02:04:39.000I think I did it first because I think he hadn't done it before.
02:08:24.000And I'm walking down the driveway, and I remember visually seeing that gust of wind come around the corner of the house and just plant itself in my fucking chest.
02:12:29.000I take a hit, I pass it to my friend, he takes a hit, he passes it to this other guy, and then he passes it to my friend Shai, and she's one of the producers on the show.
02:12:37.000She takes a hit of it, and her eyes roll back inside of her head, and her knees buckle, and then she just goes.
02:12:43.000And this is where, on the street, you know?
02:12:50.000Caught her, and, you know, we had to call the fire department, you know, we called 911, the fire department came, and they checked her out, and they You know, they could probably smell weed a mile away.
02:13:00.000It's like somebody ran over a fucking skunk.
02:13:02.000And they were like, hey, man, what are you doing?
02:13:05.000I go, yeah, we're filming Fear Factor here.
02:13:07.000And, you know, she just she got dizzy.
02:15:37.000I don't know if the head striking the bleachers what caused the seizure or but he just had this moment where he just passed out from shrooms I've never seen that before it does happen people get knocked out in the seizure that does happen I've seen that before their toes lock up one of the things when people get punched and knocked out their toes lock up really?
02:15:56.000their whole body like I know about the arms that go up like this yeah that this shit's dangerous this their arms extend it happens all the time in fights The weirdest thing, this is, make you laugh, this is the weirdest thing I've ever seen on weed,
02:21:15.000That's the one thing that's cool about getting people high that don't get high, is you get to see that overwhelming rush where they don't really know what this is or what to do.
02:23:23.000I'm like, go get him a prescription now and just let him smoke himself.
02:23:28.000That's one of the saddest things about it being illegal and stigmatized for so long.
02:23:31.000There's so many people with diseases and arthritis, inflammation, all sorts of problems that have just been told that they can't have this one thing that's going to give them relief.
02:26:11.000I feel like I would have to figure out what that number is, go past that point, and then dial it back from there, and I don't really want to go past that fucking point.
02:27:28.000You have to come to grips and make restitution and figure out what the fuck you did that for and why did you have those thoughts and why did you behave that way and how are you different now and how have you grown past that?
02:27:43.000There's a lot of it People say it makes you paranoid, and it certainly does, but I think a lot of what that is is just making you aware of things you're trying to not think about.
02:27:55.000It's convenient for you in normal life to not think about those things, but as soon as you get high, marijuana's like, hey, there's some shit that's bothering you, and you're not even thinking about it.
02:30:42.000So I get out in the lane and also play a game to like a friend of mine he would go once in a while I'm like alright let's pick the fucking item you should never be able to sell but our goal is you got to fucking sell it we had I had a VHS self prostate exam a VHS cassette and I was like I'm gonna sell this he's like you're definitely not gonna sell that today and I packaged it with a little roll away and I was like by the way this is a hilarious Father's Day prank she's like that's great how much I was like a buck bought it boom But I just get out there and I yell,
02:31:10.000you know, because I sold a leather jacket, a nice one, and this guy came sprinting.
02:31:50.000So I'm hitting this vape pen, and I start to feel this weird sensation in my chest, and it spreads to my arms, and it's almost like I'm almost powerless.
02:35:45.000I mean, I was telling you about those doctors when we were talking before the show, and the thing he said about smoking a bowl is just, the only thing you have to worry about is the butane you're sucking in from the lighter.
02:36:02.000I just saw a lighter the other day at a shop that was alcohol.
02:36:04.000I've never seen that before, and I don't know if that's any better for you or not, but it was an alcohol lighter instead of a butane lighter.
