Smoking Methods and Preferences

00:02:16
Speaker
We got you. Nice dude. You should just fucking put it on the other side of the yard if you want. Yeah, true. And just save the pollen from it and then use it later if you want it.
00:02:30
Speaker
If you wanted to get something to smoke, or you can just go straight old school and just smoke the whole fucking shebang with seeds in it. Yeah, there you go.

Smoothie and Cold Brew Preferences

00:02:41
Speaker
What happens if you smoke the male plant? Literally nothing makes you get fucking like in a super allergy attack or something. I don't know. Try snorting the pollen.
00:02:59
Speaker
I wonder what it's like. Do you think it's like, you know how you can get a smoothie from like a fancy smoothie place with bee pollen in it?
00:03:13
Speaker
Would you say like, uh, like Smoothie King or Tropical Smoothie Cafe? No. Or like, like a fucking just a standalone one, right? Just like a juice bar that also happens to sell smoothies or a JP licks because they had bee pollen.
00:03:32
Speaker
I fucking, uh, is it the B-Pawn honey you're saying? No, it's just straight up, it's just dust. It's B-Pawn. Oh damn, Jesus Christ. It looks like weird little yellow, uh, like, grape nuts. Hmm. That's pretty dope.
00:03:50
Speaker
Um, everybody was fucking trying to say tropical smoothie was good, but the only places I've been that's gotten a good smoothie is like the standalone, small, real smoothie spots. And the chain ones seem like they're just like, like, I'll just get a cup of fucking sugar. You know what I mean? Uh, you can get a good smoothie. I mean, you can ask them to do anything. I went to smoothie King and it was like, man, I should have went to the other smoothie spot, you know?
00:04:20
Speaker
I would definitely say that all the chain smoothie places are pretty mids. Like if you just got a local like place that makes smoothies and like smoothie bowls and shit, that's definitely your better off spot. You've got, uh, I want to say it, but you've got that one near you. Yeah, I know. That's the one. That's the one. Um, but, um, you know, I don't, you know, I, I don't fit in there.
00:04:42
Speaker
You know, I mean, you know, none of us fit in at any smoothie shop because it's just people that don't want to work there, but they make great smoothies. I think probably we fit in a tropical smoothie cafe. Yeah, that one. It's a smoothie place. It's a smoothie place that's run like
00:05:00
Speaker
uh like a pop eyes yeah that's what last week everybody was trying to get in on i'm a everyday smoothie dude at home so i'm real smooth i have a hard stance on that and everybody's like oh you know what makes good smoothies tropical smoothie and i'm like bitch no you never had a good smoothie in your fucking life then yeah that's people who just got into smoothies and they uh they just that was like the first one they tried they don't know yet
00:05:30
Speaker
Because some weeks in there, you know, you got to throw in some of those smoothies that just tastes like fucking, you know, like dandelions. Yeah. I mean, that's people who are just like, Oh, you know, who makes a good cold brew? Yeah. Starbucks. Yeah. Yeah. There's a good cold brew guys. All right. It's fine, but you just don't know what you like. I tried.
00:05:52
Speaker
tried cold brew again like last month and I just get fucked up by that shit. But I can drink, I can crush regular iced coffee. I love the cold brew. You get like fucking high from the amount of caffeine in it. Yeah, you just, I just...
00:06:07
Speaker
I'll finish work and I'm still way too caffeinated and then you're just like laying in bed. It's just like snapping by yourself. Bro, I used to annoy the shit out of Jared. I'd crush that one in the morning and then I'd be like, oh fuck, I can't sit in this chair. I got to walk around this office. Yeah, you'd be like, you want to come with me? I'm going to go take my truck to get washed. I feel like doing my armpits with my armpits. Yeah, I'll get I get like sweaty from that stuff.
00:06:35
Speaker
Uh, me too. I'm like, shit, man. It's, uh, you know, I don't know.

Dreams and Sleep Experiences

00:06:41
Speaker
That's why I like it. And then I just crash and just go home and it was a piece of shit. And I'm just like, fuck this shit. I feel like, um, I'm not very sensitive to caffeine. So then when I drink something like that, that's like intensely caffeinated. You get that crazy feeling and I'm like, oh man, no wonder people don't like to drink coffee.
00:07:01
Speaker
Right now something. Yeah, you feel like in your in your like your jaw kind after a while you're like Fucking buzzing right now. It's like no it's like when people eat a Really strong edible and get the fear and then you're like, oh, no wonder people don't like to smoke weed Like their only experience was getting the fear Yeah Yeah
00:07:29
Speaker
Just sit there and grind your teeth. At least at least caffeine, you'll just be like, fuck, I can't sleep. You get it from the edibles and you're like, and you're and you're like, let's just go through all the embarrassing things that happened to you in elementary school and remind you that you suck. My arm feels like my arm feels weird. Am I having a heart attack? My arm feels weird.
00:08:01
Speaker
Man I was fucking I almost died the other night I think it was like Sunday night one of those sleep fucking things where I wake up in the middle of and don't know if it's a reality or if I'm Awakened oh sure this one was like as bad to where I do it I had to go to I had to go downstairs usually I can just You know basically hit the prayer pose on the ground upstairs in like the bathroom splash some water on my face and like slap myself and
00:08:29
Speaker
Yeah. Oh man, dude, this one, I actually had to go. I was like, I need to go down fucking stairs for some reason. I had to go to, dude, I had to slap myself like three times while I was like in the prayer position in the middle of my living room, just like thinking, you know what I mean? Just like.
00:08:45
Speaker
How much and then I fucking got up and then had to get mad ice and just start chewing like Blocks of ice dude, and then fucking you know I went to the fridge actually Cracked it open spin drift tried to like chug it back and get into reality dude still not clicking into reality and then after a while I was like you know what maybe I'm just gonna like fucking die on the floor down here for this and
00:09:09
Speaker
Yeah. But the ice cooled me down. That was what saved me because my forehead started getting that crazy sweat. I was like, dude, this is fucked up. Then ice fucking came back to life with the spindrift. This is like an hour and a half in the sleeping, too. Fucked up, dude. But I think maybe I don't know. Maybe it's just from like smoking really too much before. Doesn't say how much of an edible are you eating?
00:09:36
Speaker
No, no edible, dude. No edible. I think it's just maybe blazing and then getting pumped, watching like, you know, I'll create like, usually I'll watch like these, like, I don't know, crazy, uh, mob documentaries on Reddit, real on my phone. And maybe it's that maybe it's both of those couple together. Cause like, if I don't blaze, then I'm all good. Usually. Hmm.
00:10:01
Speaker
But sometimes, it's just too good to be true. Have you ever had the sleep paralysis? No, I don't see anything, dude. I'm awake to where I'm slapping myself and trying to get a spin drift in to kick it out. But if I had to punch something, it's like when you can't punch something in your dream.
00:10:28
Speaker
but like you just are like you but you're fully there you know i'm fucking way i'm walking in downstairs and shit and getting ice you know it's like i guess like if you were a with it like when in your sleepwalking i guess you know
00:10:43
Speaker
Yeah. You're like half sleepwalking. That's exactly it. Yeah. You've got like some control, but then you still have the weird like dream rules. Yeah. And you start freaking out because you're like, I need to fucking snap out of this. I can't, I can't understand math right now and I know I'm supposed to be able to understand math.
00:11:01
Speaker
Yeah, exactly exactly dude like start typing on your phone, and you're like I don't I don't know how words work That's like yeah, that's exactly it cuz I'm like well. I guess I'm never gonna be able to do anything normal again after tonight. This is crazy I don't know I don't even think about where my love where anything is I'm just like what the fuck you kind of like temporarily became an NPC
00:11:24
Speaker
Yeah. You just like walked down the stairs and then you like stood in the middle of the living room. Oh my God. Then you went to the fridge.
00:11:33
Speaker
I don't know if you guys have it, but I'm not, I'm not a person that has like a video camera inside of the house or anything. I don't get that type of shit. So like, I'm like, if anybody came into my house at that time, they'd probably walk into like, wow, there's like an actual devil in here. Imagine you walked in into a guy just hitting a prayer pose, eating ice and like in a different dimension than you, but it's completely sober.
00:12:00
Speaker
You didn't even know what you do in that situation. I think I probably have god mode. Go into murderous rage, I was about to say. I think that might, maybe I'm touching the real god mode in life because like nothing could stop me at that point. You might just- No, you go full like Kira. Maybe it is sleepwalking. And just destroy Neo Tokyo.
00:12:25
Speaker
I bet it's related to sleepwalking. Especially if you're like, okay, I just stood up from sleeping, but I'm in like a half awake, half sleep state. You're just like in a weird, you're in like a weird quasi sleepwalk. I'm slapping myself, bro. I'm literally hitting myself so fucking hard in the face to get up.
00:12:49
Speaker
Yep. Because like everybody knows you wake up in the morning, even with time, you know, but if you even got you wake up at four in the morning, you wake up and you're like, I am awake. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, there's, yeah, there's no blurry lines there. I mind wakes myself up. And then like, I catch myself. And that's like, now we're going to sleep. We got to fucking go splash water on her face right now, bro. Yeah.
00:13:17
Speaker
Sounds terrible. You guys gotta experience it. I have not. I have not. I've had like lucid dreams. Yeah, I've had the- I lucid dream every night usually. I've had the experience of, yeah. So I don't, I think we talked about this already. I never get to the part of lucid dreaming where I can like take
00:13:40
Speaker
Agency over the dream. It's best I'll be like like literally it happened last night where that's why I said the thing about typing We're like in the dream all like what I was what I had to do at that moment was like search for something on my phone and I kept like Not being able to type the word Whatever it was like whatever the URL or the like Google search was and I had like kept doing it over and over and like every time I would hit a letter would just be the wrong letter or it just like I would look at it and I didn't type the word I thought I was typing and
00:14:09
Speaker
And then to the point where I hit the microphone button and then I was like screaming the word into the phone and it wouldn't, and then it would capture something different. And I was like, all right, this makes no sense. I'm dreaming right now. But I didn't get to the part of that where you're like, okay, whoa, I'm dreaming right now. That means I can like, I can just manifest like a fighter jet and go fly around, or I can like turn everything purple. I was like, all right, I'm dreaming. So let's get control of this phone situation.
00:14:41
Speaker
Like you wake up and you're like, I got to control my phone or in the dream you're doing. In the dream. I'm like, I'm like, okay, I'll have like two lines of thinking in the dream. I'll have like my dream persona and then I'll have my like actual brain. That's like, Oh, Jared, you're dreaming right now. See what you're doing there. That's like, that's dream logic that you, that numbers and letters don't make sense. And I'll be like, Oh yeah, you're right. I'm just dreaming right now. But then I won't do anything with that information. I'll just keep doing whatever like dumb thing the dream storyline wants me to do.
00:15:12
Speaker
I've never broken out of that in like a lucid dream where I'm like, Oh, okay. I own this now. Yeah. I need to get over that hump. I need to own it every time. I do like the lucid dreams. It's usually I wake up and I'm like, I feel like I had a great trip on drugs. Usually time. Oh yeah. This is great. It's a great day. I just hear people talking about how you can, you get the, you get to that part of the dream and then you can, and then you can start just like controlling it.
00:15:42
Speaker
Um, and I've never got to like, to like, Oh, this is just a man. This is just my brain. So that means I can do anything I want here. I don't ever have that realization in the dream. Yeah, I don't have that. I don't have the control. I guess I'm still just like following a storyline, basically. Yeah. Yeah. I got to figure out how to be like, how do you use the information that I'm to like, insect. I haven't gotten, I haven't gotten like the knowledge of how to insect yet.
00:16:14
Speaker
Oh, I do. I don't know. Some fucked up dreams do. You wake up, though, you feel like, oh, that's, you know, they can't go any worse than that dream. That was pretty really fucked up. I'll have somewhere. I'm like something in the dream storyline, like ended with.
00:16:29
Speaker
Like, Oh, I got a bunch of money and I put it in like the drawer of my nightstand or like, or like I sent somebody like a real fucked up text or like stuff like that. That's like very vivid, very lucid, not at all fantastical. So you're like, Nope, I'm in my apartment and I put a big bag of money in my closet and I'll wake up for that from that dream. And then I'll like.
00:16:51
Speaker
You're in like that wake up haze and I'll be like, I think there's a bunch of money in my closet. And like, I'll have to go check and be like, no, wait, that was a dream. Of course you don't just have a bag of money in your closet. On top of your house, searching for money one day. Yep. Yeah. Brain, brain shit's weird. Paul, do you remember your dreams after you have them? Um, maybe like some mornings if I woke up and wrote it down,
00:17:22
Speaker
I can remember like when I was little, I had a crazy nightmare that I can still pretty much remember that, but not, not anything like, like that. And that nightmare I can vividly remember, but that was also like pretty young. Yeah. I always have the same ones kind of just jumping off bridges and shit. Oh yeah. No, mine aren't like that. Oh, really? No.
00:17:52
Speaker
Like your nightmares or dreams in general? Both, I guess. Usually it's just some weird shit. Like you'll be somewhere and you'll be like, something about this is not right. Like a Tony Soprano side episode. Exactly. Those ones are fucked up. Those are super fucked up. I think you'd be walking through a house and you're like, something about this is not correct.
00:18:22
Speaker
It'll be somewhere that, you know, sometimes I'll dream about the town I grew up in and then it'll be like at somebody or at like,

Wildlife Encounters and Skunk Stories

00:18:31
Speaker
There was this place called Arkell Hall where the old people was like an assisted living home. And in elementary school, we do adopt a grandparent so you go and hang out with the old people. So you get pretty familiar with the layout of it. It was donated by a really rich person. It's just like a really nice building. And I had a dream about that place one time, but it was like,
00:18:47
Speaker
uh,
00:18:55
Speaker
crazy on the inside. And that was how I realized I was in the dream. Cause I was just like, what the fuck like, like staircases that didn't go anywhere. Oh yeah. Like big spiral staircase in the middle of like a one story part of the building, just shit like that. That doesn't make any sense. That was the dope other than that. I lived in an apartment in Austin with a staircase that didn't go anywhere.
00:19:19
Speaker
Did I had to play fucking bingo with old people when I was on probation for community service for like four weeks in a row. Shit was fucking crazy. That was like a bad dream. That was such a fucked up, just in the basement of a shitty fucking nursing home. Such a shit nursing home. At least target hall was nice.
00:19:44
Speaker
Yeah. This one, my town is so small, it was like a renovated Boys and Girls Club or something that they just stuck all these old people in now that I live there. Yeah. All the CNAs are just passed out on like really shitty leather couches for some reason that are all over that place. Could you, what the fuck happened?
00:20:10
Speaker
You run through the skunk scenario, Paul? Oh, yeah. I only... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Give us a play-by-play of the skunk. Yeah. Uh, yeah, that's all. You gotta murder that. What? The video didn't make too much sense to me.
00:20:25
Speaker
Was that you looking for the skunk after it was me staring at my dog getting sprayed the camera So you were like standing out in the driveway and saw him like approaching a skunk I was out on the driveway with Marlow and he was walking around just like
00:20:42
Speaker
sniffing and whatever, all of a sudden I saw the skunk come out from the one porch and then walk under the other and as I turned, like Marlow was standing next to me and usually I can get him, like as I turned to grab his collar he had already seen the skunk and
00:20:58
Speaker
I don't know, Jared, you've seen him. He's such a big dog. And once he gets running, it's like, yeah, he's fast as fuck, even though he's a pig. So he's like running at the porch and I'm yelling at him.
00:21:13
Speaker
And then the skunk couldn't go anywhere cause it ran the wrong direction. The skunk could have run like out into the yard and totally got away, but instead it ran into the foundation of the house. And I just like, it was like a, like a dream where I was like in slow motion. I saw his tail come up. I saw my dumb behind it and like stop cause he was trying to just smell the skunk and then
00:21:37
Speaker
Oh, all of a sudden I'm like, no, no, you're going to get sprayed. And then he just got blasted like all the dust.
00:21:45
Speaker
Fuck. Chest in the face really. It was gross dude. Then my wife like heard me screaming and obviously didn't know what was going on. So she thought something like bad was happening to the dog. So she opened up the door and called for him. So he ran into that. Oh shit. Like right after getting sprayed right before I could say like, no, no, don't let him in. He got sprayed by his tongue. Oh fuck.
00:22:10
Speaker
But she got a hold of him like as soon as she opened the door and realized that he had been sprayed So she just threw him out into the garage But it was like too late as soon as like the smell got into the house. It was it was unbelievably smelly and Damn, did you have to wash them down and shit? Yeah, we watched like hydrogen peroxide baking soda and some dish soap mixed together because we didn't have any like a
00:22:35
Speaker
skunk off dog. Like neutralizer. It worked all right. Yeah. He's still stinky today but not like terrible. Yeah, my parents did the same thing back in the day. My dog got sprayed like four or five times and they would just throw them in the garage and fucking that was back when I was just I guess like just tomato sauce and dish soap and stuff.
00:22:59
Speaker
Oh, yeah, I don't even know if that tomato sauce thing was true, but I guess I remember that. Yeah, he stopped smelling after every time. Probably like same thing with vinegar. It's just like you use something that's like acidic, but not like hurt the dog skin today. And then you just have to be in the garage. I went and got some like special.
00:23:19
Speaker
dog shampoo for him today. And that didn't do anything. So I'm pretty sure if you don't get it like all off immediately, that skunk spray chemical like chemically bonds with the keratin in their first and then they that's why they stink for like a month no matter what you do. You should just Amazon some I was gonna say you should just Jeff Bezos some shit in there.
00:23:44
Speaker
Oh, I got them. Jeffrey Bezos. Jeffrey Bezos. Yeah. You should just spray him, spray him with like your Alex and he go pick up some acts and just be like, this is what we got to turn to now, brother. We'll hose him down with some Axe chocolate and be like, this will neutralize fucking anything, dude. That will take down anything. 13 year old not stink. Yeah.
00:24:10
Speaker
Yeah, it sucked. It sucked a lot because it was like nine o'clock at night, too. Yeah, fuck you. Definitely. Like you said, you're like, no one's planning to do that in their night. Yeah. And he doesn't like getting washed. So he really hated the hose spraying them. So it was just a bad scene. What about you got to you got to capture that fucking skunk now? And now I'm hoping that that scared it away.
00:24:38
Speaker
Cause I got in smell it tonight when I went out. It's fucking well, I don't think I would kill it, but just go. Okay. It is my neighbor's house. Like, um, you just fucking call one of those people and they'll leave one of those metal cages and then come pick it up when you call them again.
00:24:58
Speaker
I like because you I like don't even know if it's living at my crib or if it was just like out walking and it was just a bad it's just out I'll take it a laugh because I've never smelled it before yeah I don't know man I've never like smelled it before you know when you smell it when they start spraying shit out right I don't know they don't just I'm an experienced skunker dude my
00:25:24
Speaker
For some reason, my parents, like, with the dogs and they ended up capturing one in the backyard with that cage thing and getting it out of there. But that motherfucker, dude, don't scare the shit out of me. For some reason in New England all the time, there just be skunks walking around out of nowhere. Oh, yeah. Like, what the fuck, dude? Get the fuck up out of here, man. Raccoons and shit, too. We had raccoons coming out of nowhere, bro. Yep, yep. Fuck those things. I swear to God, dude, those things were giant.
00:25:54
Speaker
I don't mind the raccoon because they used to live in the dumpsters in the city. So you'd like see them outside all the time. But I don't want some other destroying trash bins, but I'd have to go clean that up every morning. It would be the worst. Yeah, we had one last year. I had to start putting a brick on top of the trash bin.
00:26:14
Speaker
The skunk. Yeah. The skunk. Like, what the fuck, man? Yeah, that's tough, bro. Thing is just a fucking asshole. Asshole. Yeah, kill that fucking thing now. Yeah. Rip that thing's heart out. Now your house just smells like weed.
00:26:35
Speaker
It's crazy how bad, like, you know, you smell it when you go buy in a car and it smells in your car for like two minutes or something. It's fucking crazy how bad it smells when that raw oil gets brought into your house. Yeah, it's so sharp, probably. Oh my God, it smells like a burning tire and garlic.
00:26:55
Speaker
Yeah. That just burns your nose and it won't go away. Yeah. Something about that, that smells embedded in my mind too, where it's like, that's just a different fucking... Yeah, it's just like that burningness smell. It's like fucking just hot fire. Like, weird, it's pleasant smelling, even being in like a fucking big ass like...
00:27:16
Speaker
you know, industrial size room with some stinky gush or something growing, you know, something real earthy. Like even that at least smells good. You'd like a skunk though, like the way it burns your nose is crazy. Wow, that's fun. Yeah, dude. Now it's like, I don't know. At some point though, it's going to be like, it smells, it smells nice. It smells fire. It smells like, it's going to tone down to where it's like, damn, it should just smells like a blunt in here now.
00:27:46
Speaker
I'm just annoyed that it was like on his chest. Yeah. So because I'm not going to make him like live in a in a crate for a fucking three weeks while he still stinks. Yeah, it's tough. I've got him just trapped downstairs. Just been calling him stinky all day. Now he responds to it like, all right, come on, stinky. He's probably bum did. He's like, I guess this is my name now.
00:28:17
Speaker
I don't even think he fucking remembers that it happened. Did he bark at that shit after? Not even. He just like charged, did his job, sprayed, turned around, ran away. I think he was a skunk fucking victorious. So like, that's exactly how it works, bro. Yeah, bro. He took it. You got skunked. Yeah. Two and a half and she's like smelling the things they asked when it sprayed him.
00:28:45
Speaker
He has to go down to the station like a cop and file a whole report, get a skunk sergeant over there to make sure it's lawfully used. Exactly. Yeah, so where was the dog coming at you from? Well, I ran into the foundation. Yeah, that's totally you're good. Don't even worry about it. We got this covered.
00:29:07
Speaker
I can't believe you ran into the foundation. That was the worst part of the whole thing. Just clocked himself on. Oh my God. He could have run left straight orbit. Now you got to go out there with the pellet gun, dude. I don't think that that BB gun is strong enough. I think it would just bounce off of it and I'd get sprayed. I think it would fucking take that thing out, dude. I need that one that Griff has.
00:29:35
Speaker
He has like an automatic AK-47 pellet gun. Jesus Christ. I'm telling you, the handguns go through wood. They'll definitely be able to go through a skunk skin. I don't know. That's how at least I thought about it. When I got mine, I was like, can this go through a few pieces of wood? Boom. Easily. All right. This is good. I know somebody that allegedly had a 22 caliber air rifle with the pointed pellets.
00:30:02
Speaker
And they allegedly were shooting geese with it and it did not kill them. It just like fucking made the goose like fly away. I mean, how do they know that? Do you know what I mean? It probably died. Yeah, that thing definitely died, dude. Yeah, you think it's got enough. It's got enough life in it to fly away. And then it's like, oh, shit, my organs are damaged. Oh my fucking God, I got shot by something. I'm just shitting blood.
00:30:32
Speaker
I think that they allegedly shot in the head one time and it didn't die. What the fuck is going on? They were trying to do goose removal on a large property. And they were just going up and putting one arm around the goose's neck and shooting it in the head like a mob boss. Walking up behind him with piano string and string. Yeah. Just direct contact on the fucking
00:31:00
Speaker
That's crazy. That's like the Spartan way of hunting geese. You gotta like look in the eye when you kill them. I mean, I think there might be, can't you just like make crazy noises at them and they won't come on the property with the crazy frequencies on the air? Frequencies. Maybe. I know when I was working at Fenway, we tried a lot of different crazy shit like that.
00:31:25
Speaker
We would put out coyotes. We put out fake snakes. We put out mad rubber snakes when we stated it was terrible. Did you guys ever just try to say don't come in here to him? Yeah, we would just walk up to him and be like, bro, you can't be in here. Yeah, come on, guys. Get out. You can't be in here right now. I know. Get out of it, please. Come on. Nobody's allowed on the field.
00:31:57
Speaker
Was it just geese or was it like all sorts of birds, some villagers coming around, all sorts of birds, just fucking tons of geese kids from like the boys and girls club and shit. Hey guys, get out of here. Get off the fucking field. I use, I hit somebody with that one time. Yeah. And then they said I was being rude and I was like,
00:32:22
Speaker
I don't fucking care. Get off the field. I'm in a fucking union, bitch. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. I'm in local 712 where if I get the fuck out of here, the security guard wasn't doing their job either. So I turned to him and I was like, would you do your fucking job and get this person off the field? Just being mean.
00:32:49
Speaker
I love that as like a thing where people are like, you don't have to be rude. And you're like, you don't have to be like, like, why are you here? Why are you doing this right now? Why do you put yourself in a situation where this is necessary? You're ruining my night. You think I want to yell at you? Come on.
00:33:07
Speaker
I'm fucking ripped right now. I've been smoking weed all day. I don't want to have to yell at you. I'm so fucking anxious and mad now that my anxiety turned into madness. Now I'm just raging on these fucking people. Now I'm just mad at my work. You just blew my whole eye. I've been smoking all day and you just ruined it. I haven't been blazing until like maybe only one or two bowls at night now. And I would say it's not bad at all.
00:33:34
Speaker
I will say, though, you know, common situations do get me more fired up, like driving and shit. Oh, God. Driving's driving's just the worst. This is why I get high all day. It actually helps me with this type of shit. Driving sucks, but definitely close to being like, I don't know. It's like, you know what? You're a fucking idiot.
00:34:02
Speaker
I'm so close to work now. The drive is not, it's six minutes. Oh, that's awesome, dude. You should just get, just fucking grab one of the Z turns and just drive that shit home every day and just, just cut while you're driving in your, just give back to the fucking county every day, dude. And then just get right onto the course of that shit. I want to borrow this thing called the Ventrac. It's crazy.
00:34:32
Speaker
What's that? It's like a gigantic motorized brush hog that you ride on. What's up? Yeah, I was about to ask the same question. It's like a hundred inch mower deck with just rotary blades on it. Then you can just bring that to your spot and just mow down the woods. Yeah, you can mow.
00:34:58
Speaker
I don't know pretty much anything with it. You just how many skunks could you run over with that many as you wanted? But if you had to put a number on it like how wide how many skunks wide is it?
00:35:14
Speaker
I don't know. Eight. Like, I guess how many skunks could you simultaneously get in like, you're gonna say like 13 or 14. So I definitely wanted it to be a bigger number, but it's still a lot of skunks. Let's look up the average average length of the skunk. I'm gonna guess it's about it's probably smaller than
00:35:34
Speaker
Maybe I would say like 11 inches or something. I was going to say, yeah, I'm going to go with 13 just to have a different answer. Pretty big. They're 18 to 32 inches. Jesus Christ. You got to kill that thing. Jesus on the cross. That thing's going to fucking try to break in your truck next, dude. Like the size of a big cat or a small dog. That's a that's like a full grown like 30 year old male skunk.
00:36:01
Speaker
So you can either fit like 3.200 or 5.5. That's so much bigger now, like hitting, now hitting a skunk with that thing, you are like spraying skunk viscera everywhere. Miles, can you look up the average size of a raccoon? Cause it's probably, I would say bigger than that.
00:36:21
Speaker
Two feet, two and a quarter feet. I think a raccoon is, yeah, it's definitely bigger than that. 23 to 38 inches. Damn. There we go. That's about right. I was saying it's definitely bigger than this skunk, not bigger than what you said. Oh, I'm sorry. What about weight on a raccoon? They're 10 to 12, 10 to 20 pounds. Well, I've seen some probably like 18 pounders at my house back home. That's just crazy, dude.
00:36:51
Speaker
Just pull up in the driveway and raccoons would just jump over to the fucking alleyway. Oh, yeah. God damn, bro. I hated that shit, but was like a motherfucker. Oh, I've had I remember one morning me and my boy were about to leave to go skate. And my mom was like, you got to take out the fucking trash. I was like, I take out trash, bro. Open the trash cans. There's raccoons in there. Fucking flip the fuck out.
00:37:17
Speaker
Yep. Well, that shit sucked. They just get in there. What the fuck you guys doing here is 10 o'clock in the morning. And then they're like, oop. Yeah, they just ran out. I'm like, I'm done. I'm never taking the fucking trash out again. So I don't take it out. I'm going to assume that a New York City rat and a Boston are like an all the same stats. Says they can grow to 20 inches and weigh two pounds. I think when I was living in Austin, I saw a two pound rat.
00:37:46
Speaker
Oh dude, my apartment on Gordon Street that was half, we had joint ownership with the rats. Yeah, they were the largest rats I've ever seen in my life. The tails that were like the thickness of a fucking hot dog, they were huge and disgusting. And they owned the basement. It was their property. Just fed them down there to keep them at bay.
00:38:16
Speaker
So it was it was a duplex. And we shared the basement. So the whole house is separate, except if you went down to the basement, you could go around and then go up the stairs to their unit. And they used to have parties down there. And one night they had like a I don't know, like a
00:38:35
Speaker
Like a, it's like a strong statement to say it's a rave. They had like a dance party in the basement and somebody who like, who came like dumpster dove for a bunch of old bagels and brought them to the party and was like chucking bagels around. And then when the party was over, they just left all the shit down there. So they did feed the rats, uh, by just throwing bagels around in the basement. And, uh, yeah, those rats were
00:39:03
Speaker
relentless a buddy of mine who used to who lived in a Billy and he'd come to town sometimes and so he'd stay at the house and I He was sleeping on the couch once and heard the rats in the kitchen
00:39:16
Speaker
And so he chucked a Gatorade bottle into the kitchen to scare them. And they ran out of the kitchen into the room. He was at, they were like, they were like, we're not scared motherfucker. This is our house. Get out. Oh my God. I can abide by a lot of animals being around. Like I don't mind the wood chucks, fucking squirrels, all that shit. I could not. I hate rats. Oh yeah. I had no problem killing the mice in the house. I put out the traps by,
00:39:45
Speaker
Yeah, dude, I mean, they're destructive. They're not just they're like, like, one, I bet you would mind a fucking woodchuck in your house. The fact that it's outdoors is a big differentiator, but the fucking.
00:39:58
Speaker
Yeah, the shit outside is minding its own business. The rats are eating your food and ruining shit. They're fucking dickheads. Bro, chill. This is my house. Go outside. You have the whole outdoors. Go outside. There's plenty of food out there. To live in. This is my thing. I bought this. Yeah, fuck those guys. You need the rat bat from It's Always Sunny. Dude.
00:40:28
Speaker
I don't even like my stuff. My sir. I mean, I guess they're all right. But like, yeah, we'll get the fuck out of here, too, guys. Yeah. Got my house doing this shit right now. You. Yeah. You have like, I guess a right to exist in like a. No, they don't like whatever sense, but like not in my house. You get to exist out in nature, not in the house. You come in my house, you're you're getting you're getting the fucking all bets are off. I will say we like the
00:40:57
Speaker
outdoor cat that we got here. Yeah, boy. I mean, he scares the shit out of me, dude. He's just always running on the fucking fence. And I'm like, dude, you're you might be next, dude, I might have to push you over the other side. It scares the shit out of me. My first instinct is to think raccoon and it's like a goddamn outdoor cat. I'm like, dude, I love you so much. But can't be, you know, I don't want to pull out the I don't want to pull out the click clack on him.
00:41:23
Speaker
Yeah, you got to stop skittering around, bro. Yeah. I've had bad encounters. Like I said, trash can raccoons. Like, I don't trust and that's boom. I got to just get used to it. But he does his job. Puts in work, kills all the lizards and shit.
00:41:38
Speaker
Hmm. Getting the lizards in the house is like kind of like, Oh no, those things go wild. Instead of like a mice just run straight. You got to catch a lizard. It might take you like two hours to really track it down. Sometimes I just give it up. Kind of the difference there is they don't want to be there.
00:41:56
Speaker
And they and they have no way of surviving. Once you give up on on hunting them down, they will just end up a mummy behind the refrigerator that you will find one day when you replace the refrigerator. Yeah. Oh, okay. Babe, remember that? Remember that that lizard? Here it is. Here it is. Oh, fuck with any of these things. They're not kind of living down there. That'd be terrible. Some spiders the size of a fucking my palm.
00:42:26
Speaker
found a few of those. I don't, I don't, I don't fuck with those either. Thankfully my wife gets those. I'm like, yeah, I'm never fucking grabbing those. Yeah. Spiders are, spiders are pretty tight. I'm a, we let them live. Obviously it's not like I'm stomping them. You know, they got their, they got their role. Let them live. I fucking stop. I believe she would not stop a spider. Yeah. I'm cool with them, but I'm just like, dude, getting same thing. Like we both go our separate ways whenever I see a spider like, Hey,
00:42:54
Speaker
Whatever. Nope. Just, you know, don't fall in the pool. Don't fall in the fucking pool, dude. You get got every time. I just sucked them up with the vacuum cleaner every time. I mean, it's efficient. It's an efficient way. You should try to suck up the fucking skunks. The ants too, bro. The ants are crazy.
00:43:16
Speaker
Yeah, as long as you know I did have some ant encounters when I was house sitting for you and I was like, huh this sucks Yeah, you gotta just fucking live with them down there and dude. I'll be on lunch break in my truck There's just ants out of nowhere in my fucking truck. My guess is All the rain down here every fucking you know afternoon. That's just right. It's just ant time you go to any
00:43:40
Speaker
You go to the grocery store, Walmart, there's always like fully end caps. No, I don't know. You know, I just get used to them after a while. Like, Hey, whatever. Put out the ant traps. They've gotten a lot better. I just had to replace them all recently. Actually, I can't put out. I mean, I have some where they're not, but where that, where they need to be is like where all the dogs are. So they'll just eat them. I can't, can't risk that shit. Hmm.
00:44:08
Speaker
It's not just with these dogs, dogs I've had before too. I'm like putting ant traps out.

Teenage Substance Experimentation

00:44:14
Speaker
Just see them bitten the shit. I'm like great. I'll just do a perimeter fire spray. I'll just get a torch gun and go around my house and get them off. Yeah, there we go. Maybe some gasoline and then I kind of light a match.
00:44:35
Speaker
Last year they were making me so mad. There was a giant little ant colony in front of the foundation. So I uncapped the bottle of bifenter and just poured it on them. I think I might have said this before, but that was like the craziest. The ants were just like shivering as they came up out of the hole. They'd come up out of the hole, touch the bifen, have a seizure and die.
00:45:00
Speaker
So yeah, you're just gonna rock the you got to get the cage for the skunk or something or set like a home alone trap for it. I'm just gonna watch out for it.
00:45:13
Speaker
Just bring out the gat next time. I'm telling you, I bet it'll take it down. Yeah. Just in case. Let's say hypothetically, two days goes by and Marlo gets sprayed again. Now. Now what is your relationship with the skunk? How does it how does this change your your point of view on just avoiding the skunk? Yeah, I'd be pissed. I mean, hypothetical. I don't know.
00:45:41
Speaker
Probably have to just spray it with some biophantorin. The solution for everything. Yeah, exactly. Hey, I gotta. Yeah. Gotta spray you with this. Sorry, dude. Sculpture's like, what the fuck? Dude, fucking pesticides and herbicides are crazy.
00:46:04
Speaker
I learned the other day, uh, I don't remember what I was reading, but like, uh, some guy accidentally drank like, like a sip of daiquat, which is like an herbicide. And once you get daiquat in your body, it just like, it cannot be removed and it just keeps fucking up your, uh, you're like electron transport chain.
00:46:31
Speaker
that like creates energy for your body over and over. Like it's like a cycle where like the daiquat steals electrons, becomes this other chemical that then something reacts with to remake daiquat that steals more electrons. There just goes in this cycle where it just prevents your body from making ATP until you die. There's, and it's just like a normal fucking weed killer.
00:46:56
Speaker
There's that also kills anything that relies on mitochondria, which is everything that's alive pretty much. It's crazy. Let's see. There's one. You have to get tested at the beginning of every year. If you're going to spray these, they're called anticholinogenics, anticholinergic.
00:47:23
Speaker
anti-chlorine. Yeah. And it stops your acetylcholine and it fucks with your, um, your essential nervous system. Basically, uh, or do I know that the organophosphates and, uh, carbamates both have it. They both that type of pesticide. So really, if you're working at a place that sprays, you're supposed to get tested at the end of the year or the beginning of the year before you start using them.
00:47:54
Speaker
And then depending on how often they're using them, it can be like once a week or once a month that you're getting retested to make sure that you're not fucking your own self up. Yeah. There's this, uh, there's this plant that grows around here called Jimson's weed. Also known as deteranoxia that I ate a bunch of when I was in a freshman high school. And that just causes anticholinergic juliarum. That's how you trip. You just literally go into like anticholinergic shock.
00:48:24
Speaker
but like a little bit. So yeah, bad, bad stuff. You guys have any friends that used to eat like a ton of those triple C's that were able to buy over in the aisles at CVS? Fuck, I definitely, 13 year old me. You'd have to eat like 15 or 20 of them. 13 year old me definitely did a decent amount of robo tripping in my day.
00:48:54
Speaker
Is that what that would be called? This one, I think it had like a point something of coding in each. Yeah. So, I mean, any kind of like DXM over over consuming DXM was ro, so yeah, I mean, CC, uh, core seeding wasn't, wasn't obviously wasn't Robitussin, but, uh, Robitussin was easier to steal.
00:49:17
Speaker
The C's the triple C's after a while they put in like they would put like behind the car or whatever. So it's hard to get but uh, but yeah, those ones had The robot else was nicer because you could just get dxm robot us and the C the triple C's were trickier because some of those had Gao venison in it, which was like just made you fucking spit a whole bunch and then yeah sometimes had like
00:49:42
Speaker
a little bit of codeine or a little bit of uh, or like a lot of acetaminophen and so then you had to like math it out so that you were taking. Oh, yeah, that's true. Enough, uh, enough of the core, enough of the overdose, right? Yeah, you're taking enough of the DXM to trip, but not so much acetaminophen that you'd get like liver failure or whatever. Yeah. 12, 13 year old me.
00:50:08
Speaker
uh, allegedly pretty good at stealing corset and, uh, grew out of that by high school though. Thankfully. Even being a shithead, I was like, dude, that shit is bad for your liver. I'm not taking that. Uh, so the trick was a whole pack of us, something that is not good for you. So the trick was, so yeah, you wanted to, if you could, you wanted to get the ones that just had the XM in it because that literally
00:50:34
Speaker
uh, is not, is not damaging to your body on the condition that you also consume ethanol with it. So as long as you got like the Robitussin that was just the XM or the C or the core seed, and it was just the XM and then you drank like a good amount of alcohol when you took it, no, no damage to your liver, no damage to your kidneys. It was the other shit.
00:51:02
Speaker
But you have to take alcohol. If you don't take alcohol, if you don't consume it with alcohol, then it can damage your liver. That's just science. But it was the other shit in there, the galfenicin, the acetaminophen, the other stuff that you just, that would, that would trash your, your liver and kidneys. I was, I was the smart, I was the smart pharmacy kid, even when I was 13, it was like, no guys, we can't, we can't take too much of that because of,
00:51:30
Speaker
because of the acetaminophen content or whatever. But yeah, dude, um, that was a fun one because you would just, I don't know how to describe it. It just like selectively made you bad at certain things in a good, in a fun way where you'd be like, I suck. I suck at like speaking right now. You just feel real like good and fucked up. And you're also like,
00:51:56
Speaker
I don't know. Like I remember, I don't know. I remember one time, like a buddy of mine, we just, we went to Walgreens and got some, and then we just ate it at my house and watched TV. And I remember like not being able, like mentally not being able to figure out how to, how to like,
00:52:12
Speaker
navigate the, the menu on, on like direct TV, like figure out how to change channels. He was like, what is wrong with you? And I'm like, I can't figure out how to get to adult swim. I don't know how this works. Like I was totally confused by the remote. And I'm like, this is something I've done millions of times in my life and I can't figure it out. So that shit's kind of fun, but probably definitely not good for you. Yeah. That's okay. That's what being 12 is for. Then you get, then you're, you know,
00:52:42
Speaker
Get out of your system. Yeah. Or, or maybe 16 or 17 or 18 or. Oh yeah. That's not an endorsement. One, I don't endorse substance abuse of any kind. Two, two, if you're, if you're gonna wait until you're 18.
00:53:01
Speaker
But don't do it, but don't abuse, but it's, you should know that it's illegal to use any over the counter or prescribed pharmaceutical in a manner contrary to its labeling. So I'm just saying these are things that I allegedly did many year statute of limitations ago. Yeah, it's totally fine. And describing what it's like for you so that you don't have to do it.
00:53:25
Speaker
Yeah, dude, no one fucking know what it's like. And nobody does anymore. People can have fun. No one. No one ropo trips anymore. That's that was like that was like a that was like a millennial thing. Now everybody just smokes Delta. Yeah. Now they just now. Yeah. Now they just get K2 from the gas station or Delta eight.
00:53:46
Speaker
never asked me about that shit. I'm like, what is wrong with you? Just smoke weed. Yeah, exactly. Even that hard to get. Oh, I never smoked it or ate it or anything. So I don't have any experience with it. But Oh, you work in weed. What about the what about the spice from the gas station? You're like, why would I know anything about that? I don't want to fucking know that.
00:54:09
Speaker
Like, Oh, you, are you a pharmacist? What do you know about weird Chinese meth labs? Like, Oh, have you ever, uh, have you ever tried, uh, the Delta eight, the T eight, the THC gummies you can buy online? Like why the fuck would I have ever tried that? I see those signs all over. It's just like dispensary, no medical card needed. I'm like, that's such a fucking swindle of getting people in the door. Yeah.
00:54:37
Speaker
The thing is fucked up about is they try to convince people that it's natural because it's naturally in the plant, right? But I feel like the part that they're not telling them is that they're synthesizing it down and then spraying it back on bud. And then selling it to you like that. Yeah, I mean, all the things, there's like many layers of things they're not really telling you and that people should be smart. And yeah, they're like, it's hemp flower. It's like that's been even that it's been sprayed with
00:55:07
Speaker
Yeah. Synthetically produced cannabinoids. Um, even if, even if they found it in the plant, that's all fine, but they're still like making a concentrate and you don't know what's in what they've made or how they made

Adderall Shortage and Work Habits

00:55:19
Speaker
it. And then they're spraying it back on the shit and selling it to you. Yeah. Uh, yeah. I mean, yeah, there's layers of, of fucked up. Like I can understand that. Like I used to buy weed from a, you know, just like a fucking friend.
00:55:36
Speaker
And obviously I had no idea where he was getting it from. And I guess you could have got fucked by some shitty weed then, but like I'd say 98% of the time it was good weed. And now you can, and most, not even most, in a lot of states you can buy it legally in some way and, or find somebody that you can buy it from. So I feel like the people who buy that shit are like the kid who always wanted to try weed, but was like not gonna have his friends that sold weed.
00:56:06
Speaker
Definitely. Unfortunately, it's probably a lot of younger kids buying that shit now. We're going to smoke this that gets you high. It's crazy. Again, when I was their age, I could go to like those stores that sold like incense and weird, like macrame purses and by concentrated salvia. And and that was my thing. And then they banned concentrated salvia. So now.
00:56:32
Speaker
You know, and that was just, that was just a 30 second, the most intense hallucination of your life. Yeah. But it went away in 30 seconds now that you can't get even that. Now you kids, the kids are getting, yeah, they're getting Delta eight sprayed ditch weed at the gas station. Not cool. Not cool. Give them back, Salvia. What did you get the four X, the 10 X?
00:57:01
Speaker
All the X's, the highest X I could find, but I was also getting it before they had come up with the concentrated tinctures and you would just buy it and they'd be like, yeah, this is for.
00:57:11
Speaker
This is for, uh, burning incense and you'd be like, yeah, yeah, it is. I could remember when they just sold it in like the little nine mile, our bag and it was like T basically. Yeah. That's exactly what I mean. Yeah. Incense is good. When you like still had to talk code with the person at the like head shop, you have any like Stalvia incense? Like we both know what's going on right now, right? They'd be like, yeah, do you want to like extra strength incense or like the normal strength incense?
00:57:40
Speaker
Today I'm feeling like extra. I want my I want to like clear the chakras in my house like extra good So like let's go with the extra. I'll also take the Bob Marley poster with all of his album covers as his face. Yes And get the fuck out of here chakras I never smoked any of that shit, but I can remember what he could buy it Damn when they had this crazy
00:58:08
Speaker
I think we've discussed this, but there was a period of my life from 12 to late 16 that I would have consumed anything that airward.com to airward.org told me could fuck you up and did consume most of the things.
00:58:32
Speaker
What is it, the morning glory seeds? Yes, of course I did. I could grow those at home. So yeah, morning glory allegedly has, you can extract lysergic acid amide from it, which is similar to LSD, but not exactly the same. You need to crush up a lot of seeds and you need to do a relatively sophisticated extraction for a middle schooler.
00:59:02
Speaker
I attempted it, and at that point, you're not sure if you're just like, I feel sick. I just remember making me feel sick. Same thing with attempting the Malcolm X-T with concentrated nutmeg. That just made me fucking sickest of my life. That's what it was. I was going to say cinnamon. It was nutmeg. What is it, Malcolm X-T? Yeah. I don't know how to...
00:59:28
Speaker
You just put on glasses in a suit and you fucking eat a bunch of seats. I mean, it's basically just you chug freshly grated nutmeg until you get fucked up. I don't know why it's called Malcolm XT. There's probably a Malcolm X prison reason for it, but.
00:59:48
Speaker
Uh, yeah, when I was in fifth or sixth grade, when they made us go through dare and taught us about a bunch of stuff, I came out of there saying I would never do, I would never smoke meth. I would never do heroin and I would never do PCP, but everything else was on the table. And I, and I did, I think I did a pretty good job.
01:00:12
Speaker
Wolf1, I've done a good job of sticking to that, although in the grand scheme, if you're like, yeah, but I've done fentanyl, you've probably broken that. But PCP and meth, good. Although Adderall is just meth, so I kind of broke that one too. But anyway, everything else was on the table, and yeah, good stuff. Very messy.
01:00:40
Speaker
Not endorsed. Yeah. Yeah. If you, if y'all out there didn't know that, especially, I think everyone who was prescribed like Ritalin or Adderall knows this, but it's literally just amphetamine salts. It is the same thing that people, it is the same crystal or methamphetamine that crystal meth is. That's all it is. Yeah. But like a doctor prescribed it to you. So you're probably okay.
01:01:06
Speaker
Yeah. It's just wild to me. It's just wild to me that like our generation, like
01:01:16
Speaker
Obviously, like our generation where like half the kids, you know, were diagnosed with ADD or ADHD and prescribed Ritalin or Adderall. And you're like, okay. And now, and now that doesn't happen. So it's not like it went away. There was like this trend in parenting and doctor stuff. And probably it had to do with kickbacks to pharmaceutical companies and stuff where like, if you're, if you brought your kid in and they were like, he's like, his teacher says he's like disruptive in class. They were like, you give him Ritalin, give him Adderall.
01:01:45
Speaker
give him, uh, concerta. And, uh, that was just meth. That was, that was your parents and your doctors giving, or parents and doctors giving like a good third of the children, uh, like from 1992 to 2006, seven meth, but it was easier to get them through school. And I can't get it anymore.
01:02:16
Speaker
And well, and that's the other thing is now there's like, like people I work with who are dependent, who are dependent on Adderall, Ritalin, Conserta, whatever, that they were prescribed as a child because it's meth.
01:02:30
Speaker
And you developed a chemical dependency to it. Your brain, when you were that young, hadn't even formed yet. And you were taking meth. So now your brain has formed a dependency on meth for the rest of your life. And now, yeah, they're, they're in their thirties and forties. And there's a, and there's an Adderall shortage and they can't function without it. That Adderall shortage has been going on for years though. This has been going on since like the tail end of COVID. But, uh, but part of that fueled by work from home.
01:03:00
Speaker
It's actually like wave two of them realizing that they can just make money off of this shit.
01:03:04
Speaker
work from home changed a lot of people's working relationships. So now like I'm at home, it's really easy to be like, like I'm not forced to focus on a computer like I am in the office. Like I'm at home and I think it's, it's easy to be distracted. I can be distracted by how dirty my fridge is, or I got to do my laundry or my fucking video games are right there. And so people are asking their doctors like, Hey, I got to work from home now. And it's like really hard for me to focus. And they're like, adderall, not like discipline. And I'm not saying I get it. Some people really need it.
01:03:33
Speaker
But this is way of two of people. And now people who who missed the boat when they were kids, they're getting them to now they're like, oh, oh, you're working from home and you have trouble focusing. Here's some fucking meth. That'll help you. Instead, they just start loving meth. Then they just start loving meth. It's not like let's find like a social solution for this, like maybe
01:04:02
Speaker
maybe the work from home environment isn't, or like maybe like sitting in front of a computer at a team screen for eight hours a day isn't like a healthy way to work. It's not, that's not the problem. It's that you don't have enough meth in your diet. Same thing with school. It's like, oh, maybe school, maybe making a child who's like eight
01:04:27
Speaker
Get in a room and be quiet for like seven hours. Uh, when that kid just wants to like run around outside and play, maybe trying to do that is the wrong way to teach them. It's like, no, that's not right. It's, it's that they need meth to focus. So I didn't become a pharmacist guys. Perversing symptoms. Happy to be here. Happy to be here.
01:04:57
Speaker
Glad you're here, dude. Glad you're all here. I'm glad all the listeners are here. Yeah. Sorry for that. Like 20 minute rant about, uh, the how disgusting I find the pharmaceutical industry. I know that took a, I know we took a sharp turn there, but as you can tell, something I get fired up about. Yeah. We're listening to the Joe Rogan podcast with the guy who was selling, um, opiates.
01:05:27
Speaker
What? No. He was a pharmaceutical sales rep for... Oh God. That was the thing when I was in pharmacy school was the opiate thing. And that's, and like, as much as, as Matt as Adderall and Ritalin and stuff made me when I was younger, when I was in pharmacy school and it was the opiate thing. Yeah. It was like big.
01:05:48
Speaker
But anyway, keep going. He worked for Oxycom. Jesus Christ. Oh, he worked for the fucking Sacklers. Fuck those people. They should all die. I don't know if I'm allowed to say that. They should all have a good time. You can say what you want. He just confirms everything that you thought about that. He's like... Oh, no, I did. I was in it. I was told to lie. I told you guys I had a class in college in pharmacy school called Pharmaceutical Marketing and Management, and they like...
01:06:18
Speaker
Yes, you learn stuff about like,
01:06:21
Speaker
If you were to open your own pharmacy, how do you like, what are the business parts of it? But they also had days where like reps would come in. We would just have a day where like the Zoloft people would come in and talk to us about Zoloft and like, what was that? What college is like, yeah, we're going to have the Paxil people. We're going to have the erectile dysfunction people. We're going to have the opiate people come in and talk to a bunch of pharmacy students. God, they're so chill.
01:06:50
Speaker
Like, there's all on it. And the whole goal there is, yeah, when you're prescribing and you're going through your mental Rolodex of like what to prescribe this person that you'll remember that interaction that you had with the, uh, you know, yeah. Yep. The whatever person, the axle person, the well butrin person, the Sarah quell person, the fuck. And the butrins might be one of the craziest ones.
01:07:18
Speaker
Yeah. Well, well, butran's pretty fucked up. That shit's fucked up. Cause I want the one you take when you're on it and you're pressing it to make you feel better.
01:07:26
Speaker
Yeah, that one in Abilify, but Abilify is relatively newer. Well, butrin was the OG like, oh, this is, oh, oh, your, uh, antidepressant medication is making you crazy. We'll take well butrin so that you can continue to take your antidepressant Medicaid. It's not like, oh, maybe this medication that makes you manic or that is making you
01:07:49
Speaker
insane is a problem. It's let's give you another medication to treat the symptoms. The other, the first medication is causing again, this is some pharmacy school shit. That is why I did not. That is why I left the program. Cause it's a fucked up industry. I'm not saying that some people don't need stuff and they don't get help, but it is a perverse predatory fucked up industry.

Pharmaceutical Industry Critiques

01:08:17
Speaker
Hmm.
01:08:22
Speaker
and the Sackler should have a good time. Pops, what's funny? Dude, just that. It's fucked up. Oh yeah, dude. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Get their ass. Get them.
01:08:52
Speaker
gone get him. That's why you should all just work outside. It's better for you. Oh yeah, dude. So much. It is a bit, it is, it is nice. Um, it is nice to take your laptop outside on your work from home days and, uh, work, work from the outdoors. I highly recommend it. Go on ground really changes things and go in, uh,
01:09:21
Speaker
put the wheelie thing on the grass, get the water out. Oh, yeah. Pops, what's the thing that puts the punches holes in the grass? What is that thing? Ayrator? Pops, why do they put sand on the grass sometimes? Yeah, sand pisses me the fuck off. What does that, what does that do? Like out of country college?
01:09:42
Speaker
Yeah, they put like sand on the green. Yeah, you punch it and that loosens up the soil and aerates it. And then you come back through and top dress with sand and it kind of levels everything out. And it also, since you just pulled cores and there's a hole, the sand goes into the holes and it helps fix your profile, your soil profile, it amends your soil.
01:10:06
Speaker
Yeah. Well now my golf balls are fucking Sandy and it's the worst. I'm like, I'd rather play on just aerated green sometimes. And my sand just absolutely fucks it up. Oh, well, if you're going to have top dresses or excuse me, if you're going to aerate, you'll have to top dress or else there was no real point in doing the aeration. Like it's all kind of part of part of it. Part of the turf program. Hey, you're part of it.
01:10:35
Speaker
Do you usually have to amend your soil? Cause a lot of the places weren't built. They weren't like an engineered golf course. It was just a pushup. So they just took whatever soil was there and pushed it up into a mound and made the putting green. Oh bro. Uh, the, that, that dispensary that I work out of, um,
01:11:01
Speaker
It was wild. I got out of there, though. No, there's a bunch of weeds growing along in like the cracks in the sidewalk and whatever. And I was there yesterday and I like.
01:11:24
Speaker
I got on someone's case about it. I was like, hey, man, we got to do something about these weeds. We can't just like not not have the like the area looking nice. And it's like they don't have a lawn or anything, so they don't ever have like landscapers or groundskeeper or whatever. Just like they've just got like weeds growing out of the cracks in the sidewalk and building and stuff. So it's like we just like have somebody deal with that. So today somebody brings in a weed whacker from home. Oh, my God. You know, like an electric, whatever those are called. They're called weed whackers, right? String trimmer, weed whacker.
01:11:52
Speaker
somebody brings in an electric string trimmer and they're out there this afternoon getting the tall weeds and the way this is set up there's like a big parking lot and then there's this berm along one side of the parking lot of gravel that separates the building from like an electrical transformer and they're up there on the on the berm of gravel getting the getting the fucking weeds and
01:12:21
Speaker
whatever they did hit a pebble with the weed with the thing shot a fucking rock into some into a car window and shattered it instantly. Oh, that is awesome. Driver side window. The guy is in there with a dog now and just like just like. Oh, it's amazing.
01:12:49
Speaker
Shut the fuck up. And then if any other place, but a place where people buy weed, somebody would be like, what the fuck? What the fuck? This guy was like actually the chillest person on earth about it. He was like, Oh dude, that's, it's all right. You didn't mean to and like helped pick up the glass and was like, I think I'll just call my insurance when I get home. Like it's probably fine. You had to drive to New Hampshire. Uh, just like,
01:13:17
Speaker
Did, could not have cared less that this happened to him. Did not want money. He was just like, yeah, I think my insurance is going to handle it. Don't worry about it. It was fucking hilarious. Yeah. No money. No, he was just like, Jesus Christ. What kind of car was it? Uh, it was like a fucking, I didn't, it was like a Highlander. Where's the, you guys got to get on these weeds. Smashes a window. That's so funny.
01:13:46
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, I was like, I don't know, back in my day, we just pulled the weeds with our hands, but I guess. Bring in the fucking weed whacker. It's not even that much work. That's the other crazy thing. It's like, okay, bring in the weed whacker. If it's like a whole thing, it is like the cracks are on the perimeter of the building. And this, and this rocky berm, if you went out and hand weeded,
01:14:16
Speaker
Probably going to take you 15 minutes. Probably takes you the exact same amount of time. Yeah, especially those types of weeds. He's just grabbed a couple of weeds. Yeah, it was like mares tail and like some fucking golden rods or whatever. Like not hard, not hard stuff to pull up. That's so funny.
01:14:47
Speaker
Yeah, somebody take care of this. All right. I'll bring in my weed wacker. No big deal. Yeah. It's actually kind of funny too that nobody that was working there was like, yeah, I don't think it's a good idea for you to run that outside thing that you brought from home. Hey, at least then just bring in a bubble around up and start spraying around the property.
01:15:25
Speaker
That's true. That would have been the solve. Just spray it. Just get some glyphosate. Yeah. I'm sure there's a bunch of ways. You don't tell them that. You don't tell them that.
01:15:39
Speaker
You just do it, right? You don't put the big backpack sprayer on or get the like, or get the fucking round up thing from Home Depot with the sprayer on it. You just go out there with the spray bottle. Oh, we're just spraying neem oil. We don't want, we don't want these native plants to get aphids. You should, uh, put up some, a ton of signs around your neighborhood that you're going to be doing a spray. Just so they know, slip it through everybody's door the night before.
01:16:08
Speaker
Oh, that is funny.

Native Plants and Landscaping

01:16:09
Speaker
We had the other store out in Western Mass. We had a we had a landscaper and they refused to. I mean, I. There's a version of this that I get, but they would refuse to remove any native plants. So if you just so it's like you have like a you have like a lawn or you have like a property that you want to look nice and you happen to get some like, you know, like milkweed growing somewhere and they're like, we won't remove that. It's native like.
01:16:36
Speaker
Can you like relocate it? Because it's kind of just like growing in the middle of, of like a bed. I don't know. That was a little bit frustrating, but I also support native plants. So it is. It's a business. No one fucking cares about that at a business place. Unfortunately.
01:16:58
Speaker
True. They're just like, what's that weed out there? And you're like, well, you don't, I don't, I don't have time to explain this to my manager right now. They just want it gone. Yeah. Yeah. That's kind of, that's kind of the vibe. Why is this in front of my store? Get it out. Uh, that is, that is a endangered in New England. Get the guy with the weed eater.
01:17:24
Speaker
Get him. Get him. Why don't you hear? Why don't all of your staff have weed eaters right now? They should be on top of this. That's always ready. That's so funny of bringing one into like the city of Boston. Like a guy comes out of his car with like a weed whacker after waiting 10 minutes to park on the side of a busy ass tree. It was, it was.
01:17:46
Speaker
It was awesome and so unnecessary. It was to clear like, it was to clear like a 10 foot by. Oh my God. Four foot area that was like sparsely covered with weeds. As somebody that's like working that job inside, you should be stoked to just try to waste the time out in the day out there pulling weeds. That's the thing. If they were like, I need a half hour to go out there and pull some weeds, I would have been like, great.
01:18:14
Speaker
And I wouldn't have even paid attention. They could have been fucking smoking a J out there. I don't care what you're doing. I just don't want to see the weeds. Smashed car windows. They could have been doing whatever. Dude, and then we have a minor incident and that's the other thing. It's like that could have, that could have hit some person that could have been a way worse scenario. Could have been a cop. Could have been a cop. Fortunately.
01:18:39
Speaker
No cop. Unfortunately, no cops were harmed in the weeding of this parking lot. Just kidding. We support the blue. All of them. All of them, blue and red.
01:19:03
Speaker
Why are you making that sound, Pobs? You're not a supporter of the blue, the boys in blue. Not a blue backer. What about a linebacker? Yeah, you know, maybe. Would you say that all cops are bastards?
01:19:26
Speaker
No, I'm just not a back to blue, you know? Oh, I would say that all cops are bastards. So some of them you're cool with though? No. Scab, some cops are bastards. We can agree on that. That's a good acronym. What do you think about that, pops? We all know that. Would you pay it forward if a cop
01:19:57
Speaker
was behind you in line. No. Would you take extra long to inconvenience them? If you like saw, if you like saw a crime happening, like through the window of another building, but they hadn't noticed it yet, would you like actively make an effort to impede the officer until they, so that they didn't realize that there was a crime happening? You gotta be a homie, dude. We're all in this together.
01:20:27
Speaker
The man's, the man's keeping us down with, uh, taxes and Adderall and pollution and student loans, uh, little Caesar's pizzas. Yeah. Oh my God. Christ. Oh yeah. Go off King pizza pizza, dude. I'm ready.
01:20:52
Speaker
And those sandwiches that come in the little triangle plastic at the gas station, it's all keeping us down. We're in this together. Facts. Come on, we've talked about that. Those things are good. Which? The little sandwiches. We have not talked about that, and that is how you get parasites.
01:21:16
Speaker
the ones that they just, they're like in the cooler section of 7-Eleven. Oh, I don't think to say, I'd like the rollers are good. The rollers, yeah, whatever's on the roller, at least that's been hot the whole time. Mm-hmm, those are good. Those are good. The small mini tacos. Come on, though, those sandwiches are fine.
01:21:37
Speaker
I've never, I don't think I've ever had one of those. Same with the ones that are in like some break rooms. I'm like, I'm not fucking eating those. Even worse actually. Cause I know that the seven 11 probably has enough turn that that sandwich, I wasn't made that day, but it was probably deliberate that day.
01:21:58
Speaker
Whereas the break room ones, you're like, I don't know. The fact that people ate those break room ones was kind of crazy. And I'm saying I would eat those fucking 7-Eleven ones, get drunk and go and have one at like three in the morning. They still stalk that thing. That's disgusting, bro. That thing sucks. No one, there is one person there most days. Eat an egg salad sandwich out of that? Uh,
01:22:23
Speaker
I will occasionally eat a bag of Funyuns or Reese's Cups. That's about it. I like the airport. The safe one to get is peanut butter and jelly and granola out of that thing. That's what I grab. I have not done that. No, I just got all the Dunkin Donuts.
01:22:49
Speaker
Yeah, if I if I'm in an airport situation where I'm like, shit, there's not enough time for like the line of Dunkin Donuts or like, or some other like what feels more real food to me, I'll just go without eating. But
01:23:07
Speaker
I would agree with your sentiment that in that scenario, if you had to go with just like a PB&J or something that that that doesn't bother me. Like, Uncrustables aren't even refrigerated, so it's probably fine. You want to get the the tuna? Nothing against tuna, but now I wouldn't. Yeah, me either. That's dicey.
01:23:32
Speaker
Honestly, the tune is probably on the same for my, I can't really knock the tuna in the sense that the same logic applies there that they, they don't, they don't refrigerate PB and J on crustables and can tune is not refrigerated either. Um, that's probably the most shell stable thing there. It's really like the man, the man is in it. That could go bad. How's eggs in it? If it's got eggs in it. Cause they might use the one that doesn't. So that could be.
01:24:01
Speaker
More shelf stable. Really bad. Yeah, you just got trans fats. This that's that. No, we're not going to make that joke. That's changed my mind. Whatever flows your boat. Yeah. Yeah, we we're we're a podcast that supports all fats.
01:24:34
Speaker
The polyunsaturated fats make up your mind. Hey, did

Celebrity Conservatorship and Michael Oher

01:24:45
Speaker
you guys see that that movie, um, the blind side that that actual dude just sued the family. No, what is this? Give me a play by play. He said they didn't adopt them. They made them like sign a conservatorship.
01:25:02
Speaker
What is this? What is the plot of the movie? I don't know anything about it. It's like a young black guy who is adopted allegedly by like a rich white family and then he overcomes all and he gets drafted into the NFL. It's like a true story. The guy is what aid in an NFL alignment or something. Yeah, I think he played an NFL for a few seasons. So he sued. He sued the studio that made the movie. I sued his family because
01:25:31
Speaker
He said that the real story is that they made him sign a conservatorship. Oh, did they, did they sell the rights to his story to the studio? I guess he's just saying that like nothing about the story is true. And he wants like his fair share. I guess that's probably, I mean, that's definitely fair. I support him in whatever, I mean, he's getting,
01:25:56
Speaker
He's getting fucked over people, people making money off of his name and his talent that can't let that stand. However, uh, if you're like based on a true story card, like it doesn't seem like the studio did anything wrong. It seems like his parents should definitely have a good time with the Sacklers though. Now their attorneys are saying that he just threatened number of some shit for 15 million. And now he's gonna now he's doing this thing.
01:26:23
Speaker
I didn't see that. Yeah, it's out one hour ago. Attorney says Michael her whatever threatened to go public with the story of family did not pay him 15 million. And they must not have paid him the 15 million they call this money now. I guess that's I mean, it's an interesting strategy because from the lawyer's perspective, you'd be like, okay, he's trying to extort us, but you'd be like,
01:26:51
Speaker
Okay, but probably still for a good reason. So who's going to win this in like public opinion perspective? Don't just have 15 million sitting around. Yeah. I mean, that's fair, but I assume he's in some sense calculated how much money he has made on their behalf. Definitely spent all his NFL checks now.
01:27:23
Speaker
How do you get out of a conservatorship? Can we get Brittany Spears on the pod to explain? I'll reach out to her manager. Maybe the Olsen twins. They probably have a unique perspective on this. Hmm. I don't even know if they talk. I don't even, are we positive that they're both alive still? No, I don't think, I think they're like what happens to me when I sleep and that's just them all the time. Yeah, that seems right.
01:27:54
Speaker
What about who's that other female? Oh, you're thinking of Amanda Bynes. Amanda Bynes. Oh, yeah. I don't know how I got there from who's that other female. That was a stab in the dark, but I'm glad I was right. Get her in the car. I don't know. You got her on. What?

Celebrity Relations and Communication Preferences

01:28:34
Speaker
What do you think makes these people go crazy? Is Elizabeth Olsen? Their sister? Did I not realize that? I don't really know who that is. Did you see like WandaVision or like any of the Avengers movies? Who is it?
01:28:59
Speaker
Elizabeth Olsen. She plays a Scarlet Witch in like the Marvel movies. That's the third one. I think she's their older or younger sister. She's the younger sister of the Olsen twins. Holy shit. Oh, I didn't know. I never put those things together. Oh, there's three of them. That's pretty cool.
01:29:20
Speaker
Good for you, Elizabeth Olsen, I guess. Nice, congrats. Successfully distancing yourself from your twin, your older twin sisters. I think I've seen her.
01:29:31
Speaker
Yeah. If you saw any like the Avengers movies or like WandaVision or I'm sure she did other stuff. She probably hates that. That's what I'm the only things I'm remembering. Yeah. There's not, there's nothing really else up here on the movies. Probably like, uh, she's probably like Ingrid goes West was Graham only 360 K followers on Instagram. Yeah, but she probably doesn't post much. That's probably something like publicist made her do.
01:30:00
Speaker
Like, I mean, you, you get famous, Aiden, you're going to have an instant, like an active Instagram, or are you just going to have a publicist that like does stuff for you? No, I just read it. Yeah, exactly. So she just read it on that. Maybe I'll go back to, maybe I'll go back to Facebook and just turn it on with everybody. There we go. I wish I could delete that shit. You can delete Facebook. What are you talking about?
01:30:27
Speaker
No, I mean, I know that I physically can. It is the way my family has chosen to communicate. We don't have a group chat. We have a group Facebook message. It's the only thing I use Facebook for. That is true. And you used to only, you used to be able to only have Facebook Messenger, but then they like, I mean, it was, this was a while ago. It was probably like eight years ago at this point, but eventually at some point they were like, if you want to use Messenger, you have to have an active Facebook profile.
01:30:54
Speaker
So, here we are. What is your family like? Why are they using Facebook to chat? I genuinely don't know. Just how it went. I don't even like... Is that just a cultural thing? Yeah, it's a Mexican thing. It's like how people in India think that Facebook is the internet. They all use WhatsApp.
01:31:21
Speaker
They're like, yeah, it's like WhatsApp and Facebook is the internet for them. They don't know that. That's hilarious. There's a, there's like a world that isn't part of Facebook. They just watch, they just watch the like funny Facebook videos people post all the time. And that's their like perspective. Very good. Good one. It's all talking on Bluetooth on Facebook. Big time. Big, big.
01:31:49
Speaker
Big Bluetooth headset. On a little moped kind of thing. All right. It's our 30, boys. Bob, you got any Shouts Out? No. Skunks. Shouts Out skunks.
01:32:18
Speaker
for bobbing and weaving and getting them them foundations. Yeah. Yeah. Learn how to run a fucking route, dude. Shouts out to Sackler family for exactly all you've done for this society. I hope you have a good time. Yeah. Become a pharmaceutical salesman after this. Yep. Just rake it in.
01:32:40
