Speaker 3: All from Jerome.
Speaker 1: Hello, Jerome, Jerome, Jerome, what's going on with you?
Speaker 4: Man? Not much? I'm just trip it out right now
Speaker 4: because I just got on the phone. Go with you.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I feel like, I'm tripping out too. What
Speaker 1: what are you doing right? What were you doing before
Speaker 1: you called?
Speaker 4: I was watching this stream, I was laying down. So
Speaker 4: I got work in the morning.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what do you do?
Speaker 4: I worked at Walmart in the entertainment department. I like
Speaker 4: electronics and everything.
Speaker 1: Okay, what's the stupidest question somebody has asked you? In
Speaker 1: the inner any electronic section of the Walmart?
Speaker 4: It was it was like, so, we get a lot
Speaker 4: of older people, and like, no hate to older people,
Speaker 4: but they just asked the most obvious questions after their answers,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. Yeah, So it was mainly
Speaker 4: just a question about how her phone works, and it
Speaker 4: was it was just a struggle. But my customer service
Speaker 4: is made not a bird.
Speaker 1: So well, you know, it's really it's funny you say that,
Speaker 1: because on the surf, the question of how a phone works,
Speaker 1: the answer to that is infinitely complicated. I have I
Speaker 1: would have no fucking idea how the phone works.
Speaker 4: That's true. It's magical that that is true. That is true.
Speaker 4: So that's you know, that's why I kind of gave
Speaker 4: her the benefits. I'll give them all the benefits of
Speaker 4: the doubt.
Speaker 2: So you say you have great customer service skills.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so there's no go ahead. So there's there's this
Speaker 4: lady that comes in because we got a photo lab
Speaker 4: and everything, and you know, she comes in your posts
Speaker 4: for her church and every time she comes in, she
Speaker 4: she's always looking for me, and mainly because I think
Speaker 4: it is because of my good service. I don't know,
Speaker 4: I feel like I'm bragging right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, brag away man, you do you you what's
Speaker 2: the key to good customer service?
Speaker 4: Turn the brain off?
Speaker 1: Turning your brain off. How does that make you better?
Speaker 4: Because if you turn your brain off, you don't think
Speaker 4: about what they're asking too hard, and you don't think about,
Speaker 4: you know, whether it was dumb or not. You just
Speaker 4: think about, oh, they need this, so.
Speaker 1: It's a hilarious answer. That's a hilarious answer.
Speaker 2: So so basically, the way that you deal with the
Speaker 2: stupid questions that people ask you while you're working at
Speaker 2: the Walmart is to just not think about how stupid
Speaker 2: it is. To basically numb your brain to the point
Speaker 2: where you're on the same level as them and their
Speaker 2: questions don't feel as stupid to you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like we get it's Walmart. You know, so we
Speaker 4: get like sometimes you know, normal people. Sometimes it's like
Speaker 4: really crazy over the top people like I've only been
Speaker 4: working there for a few months. I think my second
Speaker 4: month there, there was this lady comes in right and
Speaker 4: she doesn't get any electronics. She just comes in with
Speaker 4: a bunch of groceries and she comes back to me.
Speaker 4: She's like, hey, can I get this stuff here? I
Speaker 4: don't like, yeah, let me go help out this lady first,
Speaker 4: So I hope up the wady, I'll come back. And
Speaker 4: then when the turns turning line, she's just sitting there
Speaker 4: stareing at me with a blank stare, like a fuse.
Speaker 4: I'm like, why are you scared? And she says, so
Speaker 4: people don't want to People want to stay there, but
Speaker 4: don't want to keep staying. When I look back at
Speaker 4: him or something, and I'm like, uh, okay, do.
Speaker 1: You think she had a crush on you?
Speaker 4: Absolutely if he was an older lady too. And I'm
Speaker 4: in a relationship. So in my head I was like,
Speaker 4: I don't want I don't want to, I don't want nothing, nothing.
Speaker 2: Man, Here's the thing is the one and you you listen,
Speaker 2: you know as well as anyone that there's nothing more
Speaker 2: attractive to women than amazing customer service skills.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I actually think I learned that with this job.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm Ok, go ahead, god yeah, no, no, no, go
Speaker 1: ahead and go ahead.
Speaker 4: One of my co work, he's funny his name as well,
Speaker 4: and he's a fan of this. So I'm much this.
Speaker 4: Oh but I'm a I'm a I'm a saw on
Speaker 4: this uh tomorrow if you say, I'll work and uh.
Speaker 4: But he was like, and your customer service so good?
Speaker 4: They want to They're like, didn't eat two asks.
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's a great that's a great uh barometer
Speaker 2: to have. They should when they're training you in Walmart,
Speaker 2: they should be like, your customer service needs to be
Speaker 2: good enough that the customer wants to eat your ass afterwards.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, that's you.
Speaker 2: You know you said you were bragging, but it sounds
Speaker 2: like you were dangerously good at customer service. Have you
Speaker 2: ever had somebody ask you if they could eat your ass?
Speaker 4: I have not, thank you.
Speaker 1: What would you do if they did?
Speaker 4: A customer? Yeah, hold on about the bird? Excuse me?
Speaker 1: That was nice?
Speaker 4: Sorry, all right, thank you. I don't know. I think
Speaker 4: it would turn my brain back on.
Speaker 1: It would turn your brain back on.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think if a customer was like, you know what,
Speaker 4: I really like how things are going here, I want
Speaker 4: to I want to take about it and buy it.
Speaker 4: Out of that ducibility, I definitely be confused, but I
Speaker 4: might play it.
Speaker 1: You might play a lot because you seem like you.
Speaker 4: Huh.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's say an old load that the old lady
Speaker 2: who was staring at you looks at you and goes,
Speaker 2: she looks at your name, Tack, and she goes, jeralm,
Speaker 2: thank you very much for helping me with my groceries today.
Speaker 2: I would love to lick your asshole.
Speaker 1: You would, you would? You would play along for a
Speaker 1: little bit.
Speaker 4: Yes, I'd be like, you know what, I get off
Speaker 4: at five o'clock, come back, and but in reality, I
Speaker 4: get off at four o'clock, so I would not be.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's just cruel, man. Yeah, it's just cruel.
Speaker 2: This this poor old lady frothing at the mouth for
Speaker 2: your butthole and she shows up and no one's there.
Speaker 4: No, but I just couldn't.
Speaker 1: Okay, you're in a relationship. Has that gone?
Speaker 4: It's gone pretty well. We've been together for a year now.
Speaker 2: Shut out, Naisy, shut out A h where'd you guys meet?
Speaker 4: We met in school?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 4: Wow, hell, I actually want to hear the question.
Speaker 1: No, no, go ahead, nut.
Speaker 4: Okay. So we met in freshman year and we're graduated now. Yeah,
Speaker 4: we met freshman year. She didn't really like me because
Speaker 4: I was I was one of those freshman kids who
Speaker 4: was like off the handle type of stupid, not really
Speaker 4: like mature whatsoever. And I had a crush on her
Speaker 4: into sophomore year and she doing the football team because
Speaker 4: I was I played football, and that was the most
Speaker 4: embarrassing time in my life because I would see her
Speaker 4: on the side when talking to dudes and I get
Speaker 4: so sad. Mm hmmm mmmm.
Speaker 1: And when did you finally like ask her out?
Speaker 4: So I did it that year, but she turned me
Speaker 4: down and it was kind of like until the last
Speaker 4: last year, our last school year where we became friends
Speaker 4: again and then she developed a crush on me brought
Speaker 4: it to my attention and then I was like, huh,
Speaker 4: kind of like you too still, So I'm so I'm
Speaker 4: gonna just I think it would be a good idea
Speaker 4: to try it out. So I tried it out, and
Speaker 4: we've been together for a year now.
Speaker 2: But you've been together for a year. You said, yes, Okay, okay,
Speaker 2: what does she do?
Speaker 4: She works at an olive garden.
Speaker 1: She works at an olive garden. Do you what do
Speaker 1: you have? So you're at Walmart right now?
Speaker 3: Do you?
Speaker 2: Are you trying to go to school? Are you trying
Speaker 2: to do some other work thing? What's your what's your
Speaker 2: goal in in this universe?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I'm going to school this coming fall. I'm really going.
Speaker 4: I'm really starting out to just build up my GPA
Speaker 4: because I wasn't really applying myself in high school. I
Speaker 4: kind of hated it, and but through that I kind
Speaker 4: of figured out what my goal is in life, which
Speaker 4: is I gotta like multiple goals. So I really want
Speaker 4: to become a writer slash director, and I also really
Speaker 4: want to become an owner of my own dispensary.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, what you what?
Speaker 4: What do you?
Speaker 1: What kind of things? Do you want to write and direct?
Speaker 4: Movies? Movies, TV shows? I also want to write music,
Speaker 4: see what I can do with that as well.
Speaker 2: Now you want to write and direct to movies? What
Speaker 2: kind of movies are you?
Speaker 1: Do you like? Comedy movies, action movies.
Speaker 4: I'm kind of leaning more towards coming of age stories.
Speaker 1: Coming of age stories. Okay, yeah, do you have any
Speaker 1: ideas or have you written any scripts already?
Speaker 4: I haven't written any scripts, but I have ideas. I
Speaker 4: have this idea of it's called don't I think it's
Speaker 4: called Uncle Somebody's Shop.
Speaker 1: Right, Uncle Somebody's Shop, Yeah, because I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't have a set name for him yet.
Speaker 1: Okay, So like Uncle Joey's Shop.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's about So let's say it's about you know,
Speaker 4: Uncle Joey and his niece. His niece recently lost his parents,
Speaker 4: lost her parents, and she comes to live with him,
Speaker 4: and he recently lost his fiance and yep, and him
Speaker 4: and his fiance they built like a music they built
Speaker 4: a banz again, like they built a life together.
Speaker 3: Inspired and.
Speaker 4: Just focused through music. And he and they are both
Speaker 4: really good musicians. And when he lost her, he lost
Speaker 4: his dream. And so you know, throughout the story, he's
Speaker 4: helping his knee still with her grieving, and she's also
Speaker 4: helping him find that inspiration again, find that reason to
Speaker 4: explore music again or open up his heart. And there's
Speaker 4: this character that kind of plays it's one of those
Speaker 4: characters you see in the movie where it's like the
Speaker 4: best friend. Yeah, and he's he's he comes and goes,
Speaker 4: but he's like he's he's showing the niece everything the
Speaker 4: uncle won't show her. And then in turn, she shows
Speaker 4: the uncle once again and he, you know, gets that spark.
Speaker 1: Mmmmmmm, I like this. What are there directors or writers
Speaker 1: out there.
Speaker 2: That that inspire you that uh maybe have the same
Speaker 2: genre or of a totally different genre.
Speaker 4: There are m I'm blanking on their names right now,
Speaker 4: the one.
Speaker 1: Or even just if you don't know their names, maybe
Speaker 1: just movies in general that you that you like, that
Speaker 1: inspire your your that inspire you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was this movie I just recently watched. There
Speaker 4: was Little Miss Sunshine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my fucking friend and I used to have a tradition.
Speaker 2: We would watch like every September back to school in
Speaker 2: high school.
Speaker 1: We would watch Little Miss Sunshine. It was random. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm dead serious. It was very random.
Speaker 4: Wow, that sounds fun.
Speaker 1: We only did two years in a row.
Speaker 2: Actually, I don't even know if that wait, I might
Speaker 2: be we maybe said we were going to make it
Speaker 2: a tradition and we did it once. That's why I
Speaker 2: actually Matt when I said that we had a tradition
Speaker 2: but yeah, I I like Little of Sunshine a lot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really inspiring. And I think movies like that
Speaker 4: were kind of like you see a character bring back
Speaker 4: hope to another character or other characters, now any kind
Speaker 4: of bring them all together. I like movies like that.
Speaker 1: What what is it about that that is inspiring to you?
Speaker 1: Have you had Have you like had.
Speaker 2: An experience like that where you didn't have a lot
Speaker 2: of hope and somebody brought it back to you?
Speaker 4: Yeah? All the time. I've got friends, my girlfriend now,
Speaker 4: even content creators like you and I watch a lot
Speaker 4: of your Ray and Bruce drop them off, Kays and that,
Speaker 4: and they're all really funny and they've kind of helped
Speaker 4: me in my time. Everybody in my life and that
Speaker 4: was in my life has kind of helped me get
Speaker 4: back to finding a way to happiness.
Speaker 1: I think, go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of things I want to do, and
Speaker 4: sometimes I'm like, dang, I might not be able to
Speaker 4: do this, But I think that's just me not trying
Speaker 4: and being scared to try in case I fail.
Speaker 2: Why do you think that you won't be able to
Speaker 2: do all of these things? Is it like literally a
Speaker 2: matter of like oh, I have so many desires that
Speaker 2: a lifetime can't even fill them?
Speaker 4: Is that? And I think I think I'm genuinely scared
Speaker 4: that the opportunities just won't be there.
Speaker 1: Give me, give me an example.
Speaker 4: So let's say, Well, I want, you know, like I said,
Speaker 4: I want to open up my own dispensary and everything.
Speaker 4: I kind of want it to be here in Ohio,
Speaker 4: but it's kind of looking dim that it won't be possible.
Speaker 4: And a lot of other places are overly saturated, so
Speaker 4: I don't want to go to another place and it
Speaker 4: just won't succeed.
Speaker 2: Why Why is it looking like it won't be possible
Speaker 2: in Ohio?
Speaker 1: Is it like a law thing? Yeah, a lot of
Speaker 1: thing is we legal in Ohio?
Speaker 4: I think for medical use, but it's it's very suppressed, okay,
Speaker 4: very hard.
Speaker 2: Well this dispense well, owning a dispensary, like is there
Speaker 2: is it a special kind of dispensary or something like that,
Speaker 2: like know, fucking we're gonna do a weed skateboard place
Speaker 2: or something or just kind of a run of the
Speaker 2: middle of dispensary.
Speaker 4: Yeah, kind of like I want it to be like
Speaker 4: weed slash movie theater slash hangout spot, just a place
Speaker 4: where people can just come to, you know, smoke, you know,
Speaker 4: chill out, watch movies, hang out with their friends in
Speaker 4: just a safe area without having to worry about bothering
Speaker 4: other people if their families aren't comfortable with it, or
Speaker 4: trying to struggle to find a spot to go to.
Speaker 4: If they can't, you do it at their apartments or
Speaker 4: something like that.
Speaker 2: You know, what's a bummer is I think and some
Speaker 2: please if you are listening, or correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 2: But I think everywhere in the US, at least where
Speaker 2: you can buy weed, you are not There's no place
Speaker 2: where you can like actually buy the weed and sit
Speaker 2: and smoke it. Like in Amsterdam they have these places
Speaker 2: where you can like go and buy pod and hang
Speaker 2: out and get drinks and like smoke it there. But US,
Speaker 2: I've never been to a place like that. They have
Speaker 2: like weed lounges. I've been to a lounge where you're
Speaker 2: allowed to bring weed that you bought somewhere else and
Speaker 2: smoke it there.
Speaker 1: I've been to a place like that, But I don't
Speaker 1: think there are.
Speaker 2: Any places in the US where you can both buy
Speaker 2: the weed and smoke it at the place I might
Speaker 2: be one hundred percent wrong.
Speaker 4: But I mean it's kind of spot on cut.
Speaker 1: But you know, I feel like you.
Speaker 2: I feel like, in terms of the laws and the
Speaker 2: cost of operation, it might be easier to make the
Speaker 2: lounge than it is to make the dispensary just a
Speaker 2: place where it's like, hey, it's totally legal for people
Speaker 2: to come here and smoke pot and hang out and
Speaker 2: play video games and shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the chat to see if that with
Speaker 2: the chat doesn't know anymore than we have weed cafes
Speaker 2: in South Africa. Yeah, apparently San Francisca's places like that.
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I have no idea, but that's
Speaker 1: what I'm under the impression of. But anyway, enough about
Speaker 1: the ship that we can find on Google. What okay?
Speaker 2: Back to you, you were saying a lot of interesting things.
Speaker 2: You were saying, Oh, yes, are you feeling happy right now?
Speaker 2: You're kind of just talking about your your path to happen,
Speaker 2: and so you're feeling happy where you are in your
Speaker 2: current life?
Speaker 4: Yes and no? Yes and no.
Speaker 1: Let's start with the no. Why no?
Speaker 4: Unhappy about I'm still living with my parents and you know,
Speaker 4: my girlfriend is living with us two because of some
Speaker 4: familial issues, and I'm not unhappy about that. I'm just
Speaker 4: unhappy about I don't know if I'm ready to be
Speaker 4: living with my parents. Sure, yeah, I do, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean. I kind of feel I always feel
Speaker 4: pressured to be ready to you know, move out. In everything.
Speaker 4: I want to be ready, But I don't know if
Speaker 4: I can just be like, yeah, I'm ready and then
Speaker 4: just go out and convince myself that I'm ready.
Speaker 1: Can I ask you how old you are?
Speaker 4: I'm nineteen, You're.
Speaker 1: Nineteen, dude. I didn't fucking I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know how much you know about me.
Speaker 2: But I fucking started doing this show in my mom's basement.
Speaker 2: And I was in my mom's basement from like twenty
Speaker 2: I don't think I moved out. I was in my
Speaker 2: mom's basement from the ages of twenty two to twenty four,
Speaker 2: fucking just doing this, you know, And I didn't. I
Speaker 2: didn't rush it. I was like, this is a great
Speaker 2: opportunity to just like hang out and save money, and
Speaker 2: so I hope. Yeah, I mean, you look in you're
Speaker 2: fucking nineteen. You should, you know, stay there. It's a
Speaker 2: blessing to have parents that will let you stay at
Speaker 2: your at their place, you know. And at nineteen, I
Speaker 2: feel like there's no fucking way that you're gonna.
Speaker 1: Have enough. There's no way that you could be reasonably
Speaker 1: expected to have.
Speaker 2: Your financial situation so beautifully shaped up that you should
Speaker 2: you know, be in a fucking penthouse downtown or anything
Speaker 2: like that. I mean, it's a great opportunity to hang
Speaker 2: out and save money. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's what
Speaker 2: I That's what I did, Uh for those two years,
Speaker 2: I was just like, I'm just gonna work as much
Speaker 2: as I can and save before moving out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I want to do that, but I just
Speaker 4: I you know, like I said, I feel pressured by
Speaker 4: a lot of people to just.
Speaker 1: Be ready, you know what I mean by who who's
Speaker 1: a lot of people.
Speaker 4: Well, I feel like my dad kind of, uh does
Speaker 4: he want you out of the house? I think so,
Speaker 4: Like he's not kind of got a history with him,
Speaker 4: but he's not the most It's hard for me. It's
Speaker 4: hard to be you know what I mean. Like, well,
Speaker 4: I've talked about, you know, moving out or staying or whatever,
Speaker 4: and it's like he doesn't want me to move in
Speaker 4: with my girlfriend. But he doesn't. I don't think he
Speaker 4: wants me to stay here, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: I thought your girlfriend lives. He doesn't want you and
Speaker 1: your girlfriend to move out and get a place. Yeah, why,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Well I do though, you know babies.
Speaker 1: Oh, he's afraid that you're gonna have a kid.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh well okay, First for first of all, I mean,
Speaker 1: you're I was gonna say, your dad has no like you.
Speaker 2: Dad can't really tell you what to do with your life.
Speaker 2: But I mean he can. He can tell you get
Speaker 2: a fuck out of his house.
Speaker 1: He can do that. He can absolutely totally justifiably do that. Well,
Speaker 1: the cool I think, I feel like the cool.
Speaker 2: Thing about you know, if you wanted to move in
Speaker 2: with your girlfriend. I mean there's look, you know, and
Speaker 2: you guys have been together for a year or whatever.
Speaker 2: There's there's significant challenges in that. Yeah, but you saved
Speaker 2: a lot of fucking money with just one room.
Speaker 1: If you guys are doing that, yeah, I would agree with.
Speaker 2: Again, I'm not going to tell you what to do
Speaker 2: with your life, but having a kid right now might
Speaker 2: be a little fucking rough.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's in your mind.
Speaker 4: Not at all.
Speaker 1: I don't want to Okay, good, yeah, all right? What
Speaker 1: I mean?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 1: So you said your your your? Are there any other nose?
Speaker 2: When you were like, I'm happy when when I asked
Speaker 2: you the question, you said yes or no? And so
Speaker 2: one of the nose is you're feeling weird about being
Speaker 2: in your parents' house.
Speaker 1: Which I really think you shouldn't.
Speaker 2: Again, coming from a guy who lived in his mom's
Speaker 2: basement for a pretty long time.
Speaker 1: What were there any other nos?
Speaker 4: Yeah? What are they? This all times of the reason
Speaker 4: I called. I wanted some advice on this. Okay, sure,
Speaker 4: I've been wanting to catch the stream and call about
Speaker 4: this for a while because it's an ongoing issue. So
Speaker 4: my girlfriend has an issue with, you know, weed. She
Speaker 4: doesn't like it.
Speaker 2: When somebody says that someone is an issue with weed,
Speaker 2: either they like it too much or they hate it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she hates it, all right, tell me more.
Speaker 3: My thing is.
Speaker 4: When I sound lead, it kind of like brightened up
Speaker 4: my life. I sounded like a really bad time and
Speaker 4: it kind of I don't know after I took because
Speaker 4: I started edibles, but after I hate that first one,
Speaker 4: I was like, Wow, it wasn't just the feeling. For me,
Speaker 4: it was the thoughts I was having. It kind of
Speaker 4: like brightened up my experience for life, and even without
Speaker 4: it now it's kind of like it enhanced it. And
Speaker 4: every moment I've kind of dreamed about it being a
Speaker 4: part of my life, and I'm I'm torn between the
Speaker 4: fact that I possibly might have to choose that over
Speaker 4: her in the future, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: And now I finished.
Speaker 4: We've we've talked about it and I've told her this
Speaker 4: concern and she was like, you don't have to worry
Speaker 4: about it. Well, she didn't say that, but I'll be
Speaker 4: every time we've talked about it. It's kind of like
Speaker 4: her trauma because she her friend had undiagnosed epilepsy or
Speaker 4: stressed somehow she got stressed to his epilepsy and she,
Speaker 4: you know, she was smoking and you know it triggered
Speaker 4: it and her friend almost died. M hm. Oh that's
Speaker 4: why she's that's why she hates it, And I'm like,
Speaker 4: I completely understand that. I also completely thrown away because
Speaker 4: it's part of my dream for wife, and I kind
Speaker 4: of feel like that's stupid, but I kind of don't.
Speaker 4: I also think that, you know, like I said every
Speaker 4: time we talked about it. She's just really heartbroken and
Speaker 4: torn up about it. She doesn't want she's worried something
Speaker 4: will happen.
Speaker 3: To me.
Speaker 2: By by smoking too much. Do you smoke weed every day?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: No, I haven't smoked since we started dating.
Speaker 2: You haven't smoked of it? So you haven't smoked for
Speaker 2: a year. Yeah, huh, so you haven't smoked since you
Speaker 2: guys have started dating. But but you have this like
Speaker 2: passion for weed that is is more so tell me
Speaker 2: more about this is fascinating.
Speaker 1: What's so?
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 1: You did you stop smoking because of her?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Okay, And when you said you found
Speaker 1: we didn't really helped you? Tell how did it help you?
Speaker 4: It's it I was having issues with my emotions, or
Speaker 4: I was suppressing them a lot and I wasn't able
Speaker 4: to express them, and I was just feeling really really down. Okay,
Speaker 4: every time I assumed it, it just, you know, brought
Speaker 4: me back up, made me feel really good. And a
Speaker 4: lot of the times I found myself being able to
Speaker 4: express my emotions more rather than being able to suppress them.
Speaker 1: And let me ask you a question, have you been
Speaker 1: to a.
Speaker 2: Real therapist and or or or even a doctor and
Speaker 2: gotten like because because I mean.
Speaker 1: Look, I mean, what you're doing your self medicating? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you know that.
Speaker 2: And I'm not I'm not gonna tell you whether I've
Speaker 2: I think this is right wrong, because I have no idea.
Speaker 2: I'm not a doctor, psychotherapist, person whatever. But have you
Speaker 2: ever been to a therapist or a doctor and like
Speaker 2: talked about all this stuff and gotten their opinions and thoughts?
Speaker 4: I have not.
Speaker 1: Okay, I think you should because look, you know yourself
Speaker 1: and and my I can I can only speak anecdotally
Speaker 1: about weed and how it uh affects everybody differently, and
Speaker 1: some people it helps them, and some people it doesn't.
Speaker 2: And and and in my opinion, uh, a drugs hindrance
Speaker 2: or a drugs hindrance or what's that? What's the opposite
Speaker 2: of a hindrance?
Speaker 1: Helped help?
Speaker 2: Helpfulness to your life can be based on a variety
Speaker 2: of things. But if you can, you should try and
Speaker 2: talk to a real doctor a therapist about this kind
Speaker 2: of thing, because I mean, look, dude, you there are
Speaker 2: of course, there's like medical marijuana that like lots of
Speaker 2: people with depression or anxiety have have used, and it
Speaker 2: has helped their lives in the same way that, like,
Speaker 2: you know, somebody taking fucking SSRIs or depression medicine medicine
Speaker 2: have have been helped.
Speaker 1: So that might be what's going on with you.
Speaker 2: But if you should talk to an actual fucking doctor
Speaker 2: about this stuff, have you have you?
Speaker 1: Is that something you even considered?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean how have I even done?
Speaker 4: You? I don't have the money.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've been talking to my parents and I was like, hey, Mom,
Speaker 4: I wanted to talk to a therapist, and she's just
Speaker 4: we we haven't really hooked up with one yet. I
Speaker 4: kind of don't want because you know, my little sister
Speaker 4: goes to a therapist. But that's like She's like, it
Speaker 4: was just yeah, sorry, there was something in my household.
Speaker 4: What it was?
Speaker 1: But are you high right now? No? Are you seeing
Speaker 1: a weed goblin?
Speaker 4: I am not?
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, continue, Sorry, we're one's eyes talking about.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so she sees like a Christian therapist and I
Speaker 4: don't really, I don't. I don't want to. I don't
Speaker 4: I want to see a therapist that's not based in
Speaker 4: any type of religion or anything like that, because I
Speaker 4: feel like that.
Speaker 2: Kind of ruins it I think you want to see
Speaker 2: a dudist priest, a judas priest, a dudast priest. It's
Speaker 2: it's I think it's from the big Lebowski. I was
Speaker 2: trying to make some joke about weed. But anyway, are
Speaker 2: your are your family really religious?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, man, Look I know I know
Speaker 1: it's a fucking bummer.
Speaker 4: I know that.
Speaker 1: Well just Walmart. What about fucking Walmart? Do they not
Speaker 1: give you stuff? Do they give you a health insurance
Speaker 1: or any that ship.
Speaker 4: I actually just got a letter about that because I've
Speaker 4: only been there for like three months and I'm part time,
Speaker 4: so I don't really know what all I'll get, but
Speaker 4: I'll have to check it out.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So you know, I mean, look, you
Speaker 1: asked you one of my advice. That's my vice.
Speaker 2: I know it's I know it's a bummer. I know
Speaker 2: it fucking sucks and it's hard and Expectaul to like
Speaker 2: get that kind of thing. But okay, so back to
Speaker 2: the thing. I'm okay, but this is fascinating.
Speaker 1: So you so you have this you want weed to
Speaker 1: be a part of your life in uh this this
Speaker 1: way that that it sounds like you haven't even had
Speaker 1: the opportunity to fully healthily explore, and.
Speaker 2: You haven't spoked it in a in a year. But
Speaker 2: your girlfriend's very anti anti weed. But here's my thing, right, Okay,
Speaker 2: you want to make you want to make this kind
Speaker 2: of I want to float something here. You want to
Speaker 2: make this this lounge or dispensary that like people can
Speaker 2: hang out in.
Speaker 1: Right, Okay, so you're you're not.
Speaker 2: From my perspective, your passion is not is not about weed,
Speaker 2: but it's about fostering a positive environment for other people
Speaker 2: and bringing them together. That sounds more accurate than you
Speaker 2: just have a passion for weed, unless if I'm mistaken.
Speaker 4: You're you're right, But it's also I do. I do
Speaker 4: have a passion for it because I really like, like
Speaker 4: it's more than because it's more than just like self
Speaker 4: medicating for you know, my issues and everything. Because in
Speaker 4: this past year, you know, I've been able to separate
Speaker 4: it from that, I think, mm hmmm, because now I'm
Speaker 4: not wanting to use it because I'm feeling down and everything.
Speaker 4: But it's more like I want to use it as
Speaker 4: I don't know, like opening the door to what I
Speaker 4: want to do.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean opening the door to what
Speaker 1: you want to do. Yeah, how how how so.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Okay, well it sounds like you have Okay, well it
Speaker 2: sounds like you have. I know that you brought up
Speaker 2: the dispensary, but you have you have desires outside of
Speaker 2: the dispensary. I mean, you just you told me about
Speaker 2: that whole movie that you want to make that has
Speaker 2: nothing to do with weed. This lounge, even though it is, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, you want to do a weed lounge or
Speaker 2: a weed dispensary or something like, you know, again, like
Speaker 2: it has more, in my opinion, to do with with
Speaker 2: community building than it.
Speaker 1: Does with just pot.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think is a tough one. I think you need
Speaker 1: to talk to a doctor or therapist about about it.
Speaker 2: I don't think you're wrong, because again, lots of people, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, there is medical marijuana, and weed has been
Speaker 2: a really positive force in a lot of people's lives.
Speaker 2: But I think, you know, especially because you're so fucking young.
Speaker 1: You should get with a real doctor. You know how
Speaker 1: I'm always messing up people's names and shit. A little
Speaker 1: part of I wondered this the other day.
Speaker 2: A little part of me wonders if I just smoked
Speaker 2: too much goddamn weed from you know, the ages of
Speaker 2: sixteen to now that.
Speaker 1: That's what that is.
Speaker 2: I don't part of me fucking fucking wonders that if
Speaker 2: I just smoked so much fucking weed that it must
Speaker 2: have little parts of my brain don't work. So go
Speaker 2: talk to a person who knows what the fuck because
Speaker 2: neither of us know the science of any of this shit.
Speaker 2: And nles's if you do, unless I don't know if
Speaker 2: you've been reading history textbooks or anything.
Speaker 1: But okay, listen before we go. Okay, we covered the nose, Okay,
Speaker 1: which which, by the way, I don't think either of
Speaker 1: those nose, from my perspective, are are are debilitating ones.
Speaker 1: I think they're ones that you can overcome. What are
Speaker 1: the yeses?
Speaker 4: Why?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 1: What are the things that are reasons why you're happy?
Speaker 4: I'm happy that I'm just breathing.
Speaker 2: That's a that's ah, That's the most thing you can
Speaker 2: ever be fucking sure of to be happy about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, keep going, tell me, man.
Speaker 4: I'm happy that you know my family's healthy. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 4: happy that you know I got a job I've been
Speaker 4: at for a while rather than just hopping from job
Speaker 4: as a job. I'm happy about my girlfriend. I'm really happy.
Speaker 4: I'm really happy that she's here. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well that's great man. It sounds like I mean, look everything,
Speaker 2: here's the thing. Everything that you just said.
Speaker 1: I think is uh.
Speaker 2: Way more powerful than the things that you told me
Speaker 2: that you were unhappy about. So you're in a good
Speaker 2: spot my friends.
Speaker 4: Thanks.
Speaker 1: Hmmm, hmmm are you gonna you know?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 1: I want to just say, so, you want to make
Speaker 1: movies and ship?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: You ever just you ever thought about just making it,
Speaker 1: just doing it, doing it on the fucking iPhone?
Speaker 4: Yes, But I think I have an issue with laziness.
Speaker 4: So I'll be thinking of, like maybe I should figure
Speaker 4: out how to make a little mini movie on my phone,
Speaker 4: and then I'll get distracted.
Speaker 1: I'm like, ah, all right, I did all right, be
Speaker 1: honest with me. Okay are you are you do you?
Speaker 2: Oh wait a minute, you told me I was gonna okay,
Speaker 2: I was gonna ask you if you think the weed
Speaker 2: makes you lazy?
Speaker 1: But you you don't even you don't even fucking smoke weed.
Speaker 1: You're talking you're like in love with weed and you
Speaker 1: don't even smoke it.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, this is a weird predicament. I will say
Speaker 4: very weird thing.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're you're lazy, Okay, when you get distracted?
Speaker 2: What's distracting?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 4: Just everything? Uh huh, Like I always in and down,
Speaker 4: I'm like, hmmm, right now is a really good moment
Speaker 4: to just do this thing. And then I'll open up
Speaker 4: TikTok and listen to a song and then I'm like,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna do this thing instead.
Speaker 2: To lead fucking delete TikTok off your phone, Delete it
Speaker 2: off your phone. I I just I took a long
Speaker 2: time away from posting on social media and ship and
Speaker 2: I started back up today and I put TikTok back
Speaker 2: on my phone and then I fucking found myself scrolling
Speaker 2: through it. And the only reason I have it downloaded
Speaker 2: is because I upload things on there, but when it
Speaker 2: wasn't on my phone. Never fucking delete off your phone, dude,
Speaker 2: I swear to God, excuse me that. Yeah, I have
Speaker 2: one hundred scent.
Speaker 1: Sure it'll help.
Speaker 4: Let I'm doing right now.
Speaker 1: Okay, do it right now, the lead TikTok of your phone.
Speaker 1: What else distracts you?
Speaker 4: Games? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What are you playing?
Speaker 4: Uh? It just depends. I can't focus on one game
Speaker 4: at a time, I kind of get caught in the
Speaker 4: loop of playing games, getting bored of it, playing another game,
Speaker 4: getting boarded of that, and then getting caught in like
Speaker 4: a super deep rabbit hole of like one like anime
Speaker 4: or movie or something like right now, I got caught
Speaker 4: into one piece Naruto Star Wars, and yes, pretty much it.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, you know, you know it's funny, man, I'm
Speaker 2: thinking about. This is something I've always in my own
Speaker 2: life thought about, and this is one of my big
Speaker 2: I don't know if i'd call it a struggle, but
Speaker 2: a thing I grapple with is like you just when
Speaker 2: I ask you to think why you were when I
Speaker 2: asked you the things that you were happy about, they
Speaker 2: were all really like things that you could know for sure,
Speaker 2: right Like you were happy about your family, you were
Speaker 2: happy about your girlfriend, you were happy about just the
Speaker 2: fact that you could breathe, and that gave you a
Speaker 2: lot of happiness. But you're also struggling with like You're
Speaker 2: an ambitious dude and you have things you want to
Speaker 2: get done, and there's a struggle there of your ambition
Speaker 2: versus your laziness, and that struggle I'm sure it can
Speaker 2: cause you to be hard on yourself or beat yourself up.
Speaker 1: And have that kind of purveyed over you. And that's
Speaker 1: been my life for a lot of times.
Speaker 2: It is like, I'm I'm an ambitious dude, but I
Speaker 2: also get lazy and fuck up a lot, and that
Speaker 2: causes me to beat myself up, and.
Speaker 1: You know, have this like kind of.
Speaker 2: Uh, default overlay of my life being that beating myself up,
Speaker 2: when really the default overlay of my life should be
Speaker 2: thank fuck it, like the every like the the the crux,
Speaker 2: the thesis, the overlay of of life at all times
Speaker 2: should be I'm just stoked, I can breathe and stoked,
Speaker 2: my families alive. Just just gratefulness, you know. But then
Speaker 2: but then to that point, if you're always thinking about that,
Speaker 2: then how the fuck are you ever gonna get anything done.
Speaker 2: That's been a thing that I'm trying, I have. I
Speaker 2: wish I could figure that out. I'm still I'm still
Speaker 2: figuring that out. And I made a decision with myself
Speaker 2: to not have like, you know, guilt and shame and
Speaker 2: shit be the forefront of my brain and to have
Speaker 2: more gratefulness and more of the ship that you're talking
Speaker 2: about be at the forefront of my brain.
Speaker 4: So I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if anything I just said made sense,
Speaker 1: but you're not alone in these thoughts.
Speaker 4: It makes sense. And thank you. Thank you.
Speaker 2: Well goddamn Jerome. I'm I think you're gonna be good man.
Speaker 2: I I'm I think you got a good thing going.
Speaker 1: I'm happy for you.
Speaker 4: Thank you. I feels really good to hear that.
Speaker 2: Uh, dude, is there anything else that you wanted to say?
Speaker 2: Uh to me or the people of the computer, or
Speaker 2: or or a dog and a trench coat before we go?
Speaker 4: Ah, everybody walk outside, take it huge, steep breath of
Speaker 4: the fresh air, breathe it out, and then just smile.
Speaker 1: That's nice.
Speaker 2: And then if you're lucky, an old woman at Target
Speaker 2: will come up to you and ask you to lick
Speaker 2: your buttole not Target Walmart.
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, all right, you have a going derme.

Speaker 4: Thank you. It was amazing, can I maam nice?
Speaker 1: That was a great call with Jerome. Shout out to him.
Speaker 1: It definitely goes.
Speaker 2: Try to see if you can actually get medical marijuana
Speaker 2: instead of self medicating. I'm not I'm I I say
Speaker 2: that as somebody who has self medicated with marijuana for
Speaker 2: a long time and now as a result, can't remember
Speaker 2: a single person's goddamn name on my podcast. But uh,
Speaker 2: shout out to Jerome. I hope, I hope you do
Speaker 2: make that lounge. There's not enough places like that. I'm
Speaker 2: surprised when I, like I said, when I was in
Speaker 2: Denver for the very first time, like five fucking years ago,
Speaker 2: I went to a place like that, and it was awesome.
Speaker 1: They had like you know, uh dab rigs.
Speaker 2: You could bring your own oil and play video games
Speaker 2: and shit, it was great. I'm surprised that a business
Speaker 2: doesn't exist like that, or more places don't exist like that.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: I'm in Los Angeles right now, and there's I don't
Speaker 2: I don't know if there are any weed lounges.
Speaker 1: I mean, the whole fucking city is pretty much a
Speaker 1: weed lounge. So yeah, give me a reason to fucking
Speaker 1: go to Ohio again. Man, all right, thanks Jerome Paul
Speaker 1: from Siege.
Speaker 4: Hello, Lyle, Hi?
Speaker 3: Is this really Lyle? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Who is this dude? No way.
Speaker 3: I was like, I just saw you hit the eight
Speaker 3: pen and then I was like, oh man, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: hit my bait pen. Well that's awesome.
Speaker 1: Well, oh fuck you? Okay, you all right. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna just give some context here.
Speaker 2: Right before I picked up this call, I told the stream,
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm people think I'm stoned when I'm
Speaker 2: doing this, and I never am.
Speaker 1: I never am, but I but I I I every
Speaker 1: once in a while. But I just I don't know
Speaker 1: why this is the last call I'm gonna take of
Speaker 1: this I don't know where where this call will be
Speaker 1: in the podcast, but of this stream, this is the
Speaker 1: last call I'm gonna take. So I was like, you
Speaker 1: know what, let's experiment. I will take one hit of
Speaker 1: a eight pen.
Speaker 2: So so just to give some context and clarity to
Speaker 2: those listening, this is one hit of.
Speaker 1: A eight pen lyle speaking to one hit of a
Speaker 1: eight pen stage, I think we're for success. Incredible.
Speaker 3: Wow wow wow wow. Okay, awesome, Okay, Well, basically I
Speaker 3: don't know.
Speaker 4: I Uh.
Speaker 3: The main thing I wanted to talk to you about tonight,
Speaker 3: UH was like, I, okay, so I have been like
Speaker 3: doing this thing lately where I take like some tobacco right,
Speaker 3: and I take some weed right, and I put them
Speaker 3: both in my bond and I smoke. I smoked them
Speaker 3: both out of my bonk, right, and I call it.
Speaker 3: I call it a blam right and I and it
Speaker 3: just like it's like, you know, it just absolutely like
Speaker 3: you know, just like zouts you, right, it makes you
Speaker 3: just like it just totally like just gets you so
Speaker 3: like stoned and like tobacco high and all that. Right,
Speaker 3: And it's like the thing is, man, is that it's
Speaker 3: it's like it makes it makes your breath smell bad.
Speaker 3: You know, it just makes it makes everything gross.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: I don't I don't like having the tobacco you know,
Speaker 3: in my life and ship like that and like uh
Speaker 3: and it's like, uh, you know, it's like I want to, like,
Speaker 3: you know, quit doing that, right, And uh, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I was listening to the stream, like I said, and
Speaker 3: it's like earlier you were talking about how you're like, oh,
Speaker 3: I don't really want to like give advice, but you're
Speaker 3: also like, well, well well hold on.
Speaker 1: Hold on, let me, let me, let me. I have
Speaker 1: I have several questions. First, so you you basically are
Speaker 1: making these like split bowls. Yeah, okay, how long have
Speaker 1: you been doing this for? Uh?
Speaker 3: Oh, it's been like on and off for a couple
Speaker 3: of years, but I've been I've been like amping it
Speaker 3: up in the last week or so.
Speaker 2: Does tobacco does to I'm not a big cigarette guy.
Speaker 2: Does tobacco give you like a high?
Speaker 3: Well, like, I don't think tobacco really like gets you.
Speaker 3: It doesn't really get you like high, right, but it's
Speaker 3: like it's like it it gets you a little bit
Speaker 3: like uh, like a little bit like maybe light headed,
Speaker 3: I guess, right, Like there's a little bit of like
Speaker 3: a nicotine.
Speaker 1: High, but it's like get you get like a head
Speaker 1: rush of some kind.
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, yeah, it's it doesn't blast like like weed does. Right.
Speaker 2: So the nicotine and the weed combined together to form
Speaker 2: a a blamo.
Speaker 1: Is that what you said? Blamo?
Speaker 2: Yeah, a blam a blam a blam effect to the brain,
Speaker 2: thus spawning the name blam. Blamo is like a company
Speaker 2: that makes fucking Frisbees, I think. Anyway, hold on, I
Speaker 2: have to google that right now to make sure that
Speaker 2: that's true. I'm just I'm ruining the entire flow of
Speaker 2: this conversation to see if no.
Speaker 3: No legendary, I'm gonna buy a Frisbees so I can
Speaker 3: put my like it blamo.
Speaker 1: No Blamo makes fucking Blamo toys, right, Blamo.
Speaker 4: What do they do?
Speaker 3: What do they do?
Speaker 4: Dude? Whatever?
Speaker 1: Anyway, I'm just this just a bunch of art stuff. Anyway.
Speaker 2: Anyway, anyway, what is your name? Oh it's Page So
Speaker 2: you Sage stage? Say Sage Stage. Sorry I suck names anyway, Sage. Okay,
Speaker 2: So you're asking a bit So I'm sorry I cut
Speaker 2: you off about five hundred times during this conversation, but
Speaker 2: I think you were asking me for advice on how
Speaker 2: to stop.
Speaker 1: Doing half tobacco half weed barbs.
Speaker 3: I mean, like kind of, but I also just wanted
Speaker 3: to like talk to you about like blams and the
Speaker 3: concept of it. I'm like, it's gross, you know. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 3: if you got any advice on how to on how
Speaker 3: to quit or if you can you know, if you
Speaker 3: can be my my guidance, you know, and tell me
Speaker 3: as as my gecko therapist, that that'd be a good idea.
Speaker 3: I guess that that'd be inspiring.
Speaker 2: Look, I here's the thing I've said multiple times. I
Speaker 2: am not licensed to do anything.
Speaker 1: I am dumb, but I will say here's I will
Speaker 1: say this with confidence, and I'm not saying and.
Speaker 2: Taking a bong rip of tobacco is probably not great
Speaker 2: for your health. I am no expert on the things
Speaker 2: that are great for your health. I also smoke weed
Speaker 2: almost every day, So I'm not a big you know,
Speaker 2: I'm not the guy to to to to tell you
Speaker 2: how to quit. Well, okay, tell me this. What effect
Speaker 2: are these blams having on the rest of your life?
Speaker 3: I don't think it's like that much of effect. It makes.
Speaker 3: It makes me so that like I need Like it's
Speaker 3: like it's like sometimes I why like want to like
Speaker 3: go It's like it's like when I'm like out, I'm
Speaker 3: like looking forward to like getting to go home, like
Speaker 3: taking you blam, right. But it's like or but it's
Speaker 3: like that's not like it's not like a it's not
Speaker 3: like a die hard like desire, you know.
Speaker 2: So it's like so you know that meme, you know
Speaker 2: that meme Like let's say your your your You're like,
Speaker 2: you know, do you have a do you have a
Speaker 2: partner of of some kind?
Speaker 3: Yeah? No, No. That's another thing about it, right, is
Speaker 3: that it's like it's like makes my mouth all gross. Right,
Speaker 3: So I don't want to like I don't want to
Speaker 3: be like anywhere near like my partner if I like,
Speaker 3: if I take a part.
Speaker 2: So I'm imagining this meme, right, I'm imagining you know
Speaker 2: that meme of like you're like you're in bed with
Speaker 2: your partner and there's a there's a there's a thought bubble,
Speaker 2: and it's like they're probably, they're probably, they're probably they're probably.
Speaker 1: Thinking about other people. And then your thought bubble is
Speaker 1: just a fucking uh half tobacco, half lead. That's your
Speaker 1: life right now.
Speaker 3: That's fucking legendary, Lyle. Oh my god, thank you legendary.
Speaker 1: That's your life right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you're right.
Speaker 2: And you know, I mean, look here, I don't know
Speaker 2: there's other You could be addicted to crack that's and
Speaker 2: you're not.
Speaker 1: That's good.
Speaker 4: You could have.
Speaker 1: You could be addicted to.
Speaker 2: Cocaine that's probably worse than the tobacco, U bong rips.
Speaker 3: What other?
Speaker 2: Okay, So it's it's the it's you're out with your friends,
Speaker 2: you're in school, You're all you can think about all
Speaker 2: day is taking a lamb.
Speaker 3: Well no, no, I definitely got like other things going
Speaker 3: on in my I'm like I'm like a student at university.
Speaker 3: I got a lot of like homework I like worry
Speaker 3: about all the time.
Speaker 2: And I'm almost one hundred percent sure that while you're
Speaker 2: doing your homework, you can't focus on what do you
Speaker 2: study at school?
Speaker 3: Math?
Speaker 2: Okay, so the fucking you're looking at equations and you're like,
Speaker 2: I would so much rather be looking down the barrel
Speaker 2: of a bong to take a lamb right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes sometimes it's like that. Sometimes it's definitely like that.
Speaker 2: I mean that's understandable. Obviously, you know, bong rips of
Speaker 2: tobacco are going to be more appealing to you than calculus.
Speaker 2: I have no fix for that issue.
Speaker 3: Have to like, yeah, there's no Yeah, I don't have
Speaker 3: to you have to solve any anything. You just got
Speaker 3: to put the weed in the tobacco in the bog.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing.
Speaker 2: Here's here's and again, I know I know anything, But
Speaker 2: I think the solution is you need to find something
Speaker 2: that's more compelling to you in the universe than half weed,

Speaker 1: Like cocaine.
Speaker 2: Now, like cocaine, what a problem is cocaine is very expensive.
Speaker 1: It is really expensive and difficult to find.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, I feel like I could get
Speaker 3: my hands on it. But it's like, but it's the
Speaker 3: price thing. It doesn't feel worth it, you know, I'd
Speaker 3: rather It's like it's like I would rather smoke way
Speaker 3: more lamps than you know, like do a bunch of cocaine,
Speaker 3: because it's like the thing about that is like it's
Speaker 3: like I've heard things about how you run up the
Speaker 3: you mess up the lining of your of your nostrils
Speaker 3: or whatever, and then when you get a cold, you're
Speaker 3: not just like runs out.

Speaker 2: the other.
Speaker 3: He probably just had a big gauge and was paid
Speaker 3: by the cops to come do that for you.

Speaker 1: sitting there, like, dude, cocaine's kind of sick. That guy

Speaker 2: right like you you Uh, you get off of the
Speaker 2: blambs and then you become you become you.
Speaker 1: You go.
Speaker 2: To to schools across the nation, educating children about the
Speaker 2: dangers of them.

Speaker 3: you ever seen the movie I'm a big I'm into
Speaker 3: this movie. Have you ever seen Grizzly Man?
Speaker 1: What is that about a guy addicted to weed tobacco rips?
Speaker 3: Well, it's about a guy who he goes across the
Speaker 3: country going to schools. Right. That's where I was good
Speaker 3: to tie in for he at the end of the movie,
Speaker 3: he like talks to He talked to the schools about
Speaker 3: bears and ship right, and it's like at the end
Speaker 3: of the movie it's like, oh, he gets eaten by bears, right,
