<v Speaker 3>Okay, this is a and iced It's supposed to be

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:19.040
<v Speaker 3>an oat milk brown sugar shaken espresso, but I took

0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:21.720
<v Speaker 3>the oat milk out and put non fat milk, okay,

0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:26.320
<v Speaker 3>because I'm allergic to oats and it's very strong. Okay,

0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:29.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm a few SIPs in and I feel it in

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:30.840
<v Speaker 3>my bones already. I'm judry.

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:32.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So a couple of things. What's up?

0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:34.879
<v Speaker 2>It's sauce on the side. Thanks for joining. We have

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:37.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of something different happening today. It's gonna be a

0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:39.080
<v Speaker 2>little I don't know if it's gonna be weird or not.

0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:39.760
<v Speaker 1>We'll see.

0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:42.519
<v Speaker 2>Because one our guest is outside of someone I think

0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:44.360
<v Speaker 2>we would normally talk to. It's a person from the

0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:47.519
<v Speaker 2>White House and she's joining us via zoom. So I

0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:49.600
<v Speaker 2>feel like anything could happen. It could go well, it

0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:50.520
<v Speaker 2>could go terribly wrong.

0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 1>We'll see.

0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 2>But you were talking about your allergies, and I don't

0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:55.680
<v Speaker 2>know if we've ever really gotten into Have we gotten

0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 2>into all your allergies on the episode that we did.

0:00:57.720 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 1>With Juste you to do?

0:00:58.640 --> 0:00:59.160
<v Speaker 3>We may have.

0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 1>We may but I don't. I don't know.

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:04.520
<v Speaker 3>That's like one of my go to things that everyone

0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 3>makes me talk about.

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:07.480
<v Speaker 2>So we may have, but let's not talk about it.

0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Then if you die, you die. You know, A yolo

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:11.559
<v Speaker 2>oat milk not for you. You know what I haven't

0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 2>been doing lately. I don't think anybody's noticed. I stop

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:17.080
<v Speaker 2>drinking caffeine and coffee and stuff in the morning. I

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 2>just do water now.

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I noticed that this morning, and I thought, what

0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:21.200
<v Speaker 3>a loser.

0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 2>I know it's so easy because it, like man, caffeine

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:25.040
<v Speaker 2>hits me like a fucking train.

0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:27.640
<v Speaker 1>But I just don't do it anymore. I don't know.

0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:30.320
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I'll just save my heartbeats for other things.

0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Why. I don't know.

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 2>I heard do you only have a certain amount of

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 2>heart beats in your life? I've probably made that up.

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 3>But still you need coffee. There is no life without coffee.

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:40.440
<v Speaker 3>Trust me. I do it every year for lint. It's

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:40.960
<v Speaker 3>not fun.

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:42.000
<v Speaker 1>But here's the thing.

0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 2>I can't drink black coffee. A lot of people can

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 2>drink black coffee. I like cream and sugar in it. Yeah,

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 2>and I don't know if started my day every day

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 2>with cream and sugar is really a good idea.

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:52.640
<v Speaker 3>No, switch it up. Do oat milk instead, if you're

0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 3>not allergic to oats.

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:53.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm not.

0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 3>I mean that I know of oat milk is really good,

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 3>but it makes my mouth felt funny, so I'm like,

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:01.240
<v Speaker 3>oh great, is it sweet? It has a sweetness to it.

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:02.200
<v Speaker 3>It's a good alternative.

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:03.040
<v Speaker 4>Come on.

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Apparently we can't eat anything that is delicious anymore because.

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Everything is killing us. We're all gonna die anyway.

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.639
<v Speaker 3>Just have fun, live your life, you'll okay.

0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 2>So the guest today, her name is Near Attendon, and

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:17.639
<v Speaker 2>she works for the White House. Apparently they reached out

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 2>because they wanted to talk about how they're switching marijuana

0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:23.440
<v Speaker 2>or they're in the process of changing marijuana from a

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 2>Schedule one drug to a Schedule three drug. What does

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 2>that mean? Well, we're gonna get to it whenever she

0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:31.840
<v Speaker 2>gets here.

0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:33.520
<v Speaker 1>What's up?

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 3>Huh?

0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 1>I am recording? Okay, Well let me double check before him. Goodbye?

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Thank you mean it? Justin Bieber? What does he mean?

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.600
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't know if we were recording. He's looking into

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:53.240
<v Speaker 2>the into the studio. It says in use, and we're

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:54.360
<v Speaker 2>both talking to microphones.

0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Scared Jones.

0:02:56.520 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 3>Everybody that's a very scary thing to do.

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:03.520
<v Speaker 2>Man, it would be actually kind of fun at some

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:05.160
<v Speaker 2>point to just do an episode with him.

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.920
<v Speaker 3>That man experience.

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 1>He's Diamond's favorite.

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.920
<v Speaker 2>He he pushes her to a place of darkness. Oh,

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 2>and now Andrew wants to come in. Like, Andrew doesn't

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 2>know how recording works.

0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 3>Save me.

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:21.800
<v Speaker 2>We started recording Andrew home, No, because I know you're

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 2>sticking around to do something that I want to do.

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 5>Like what.

0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 6>Oh he told me? Are well I agreed to something

0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:29.840
<v Speaker 6>I didn't know about.

0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh, we got to talk about this, but I don't.

0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 3>That's not a good segue. But we need to talk

0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 3>about that.

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:43.600
<v Speaker 2>Andrew's here, Hi buddy, Hi, Hi Hi? Is it weird

0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:45.400
<v Speaker 2>that that there's only one microphone for you guys?

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 3>Should I move this over?

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 6>I'm the star, So it's okay, hold on.

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 2>A second, what I'll beat you downstairs? We need we

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 2>need to talk about how this studio works because there's

0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.320
<v Speaker 2>a light that says in use. And then also people

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:01.760
<v Speaker 2>can just look in and directly see us, and everybody

0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 2>stares through the glass like we're zoo animals, and then

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:06.000
<v Speaker 2>is like are you recording? And they try to have

0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 2>conversations with you through the glass.

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's actually very weird.

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 3>Yes, grab it Iman of Zoo Animals. Andrew decided to

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 3>act as one today. What do you do? Andrew canceled

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:25.240
<v Speaker 3>on a wedding four or five days before the actual wedding,

0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.159
<v Speaker 3>which he r svp'd to. He said he was going.

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 3>I think it's horrible, horrific.

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 6>I agree, that's someone. Gandhi was the one that sent

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:35.920
<v Speaker 6>the text message because I had so much anxiety over

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 6>into this.

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:40.520
<v Speaker 3>Your anxiety is warranted at this point. No, you knew

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:42.920
<v Speaker 3>four months that you did not want to go to

0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 3>this wedding, or that you.

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Wouldn't be able to go to this wedding, and instead.

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 6>Of it's not that I knew, It's just that you

0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 6>know when you have a gut feeling, but it doesn't

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.280
<v Speaker 6>kick in until like a week after, or like two

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.360
<v Speaker 6>months after, maybe months.

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 3>He All I have to say is the woman was

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 3>very gracious.

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.440
<v Speaker 6>She was Oh she did, and she was super nice.

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 6>And you already have dinner plans next month.

0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:06.360
<v Speaker 3>Wow, that's beautiful.

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:09.000
<v Speaker 6>But Gandhi appreciate you.

0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:11.479
<v Speaker 3>I'm letting you know that if it was anyone else

0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:13.919
<v Speaker 3>like me, you would have been blocked.

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 6>Don't be then, when you got the check with the

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 6>gift in it, you would have said, oh, thank you.

0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:20.680
<v Speaker 3>But you wouldn't have been able to respond because you

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 3>would have been blocked.

0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:24.240
<v Speaker 6>Well, I wouldn't ask you if you received my check

0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 6>or my honey fund. I would have just known, and

0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:28.400
<v Speaker 6>then you would have taken my money and blocked me off.

0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 6>Some weird petty stuff that you're doing.

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:30.800
<v Speaker 3>Well, no, it's not petty.

0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:32.919
<v Speaker 1>She paid for your plate.

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.040
<v Speaker 6>Right, sure, And I apologize, and I'm going to send

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 6>a really nice gift and also I'm sorry. But as

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.960
<v Speaker 6>a bride, if you're really gonna stare at your guest

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.839
<v Speaker 6>list that hard and block people week of that says

0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.400
<v Speaker 6>more about you than the people you're surrounding yourself with.

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:49.000
<v Speaker 3>Okay, great.

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:51.599
<v Speaker 2>I have to say I kind of agree with you,

0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Andrew what se because here's the thing, Like, weddings are

0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:58.240
<v Speaker 2>very much for the people getting married, and I think

0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:00.520
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people make themselves this like you center

0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:04.039
<v Speaker 2>of attention. Life happens to other people. It's not a

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 2>flight at you as somebody can't go. If somebody's just

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.480
<v Speaker 2>like oh I just I don't feel like it. Okay,

0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.720
<v Speaker 2>that's a different story. But when people have like shit.

0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:13.039
<v Speaker 1>Going on in their lives. You can't make it. You

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:13.640
<v Speaker 1>can't make it.

0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.320
<v Speaker 2>I know someone here who didn't attend a wedding of

0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:19.560
<v Speaker 2>somebody on our show. This person just didn't show up

0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 2>to the wedding. That's kind of different. But I feel

0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:23.560
<v Speaker 2>like if you can't go, you can't go.

0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:28.280
<v Speaker 6>And it's better, in my opinion, to give notice and say, hey,

0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.280
<v Speaker 6>I'm not going to come. Then just day of, the

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.279
<v Speaker 6>plate is paid for, the spot at the table is given,

0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 6>and you just don't show up. That to me is

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:38.960
<v Speaker 6>more of a slap in the face than coming up

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.440
<v Speaker 6>with I have the flu and I can't make it. No,

0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:43.599
<v Speaker 6>that means you have a table with my number on it.

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:46.359
<v Speaker 6>I'm on your seating chart, and now what's going to happen.

0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 3>I would much rather you wait until the day before

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:51.560
<v Speaker 3>and say someone you know has COVID. Because this is

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:55.240
<v Speaker 3>the thing, is that the table is set. You usually

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:59.280
<v Speaker 3>have two weeks before the wedding to set the table.

0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:02.839
<v Speaker 3>Your guest was to set you paid for everything. You

0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 3>could have said this two weeks ago.

0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:07.359
<v Speaker 6>I understand that. And again I am putting blame on

0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:11.200
<v Speaker 6>myself for saying I fed up. I had the anxiety

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.880
<v Speaker 6>over sending the text message. Thankfully, my friend is an

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:17.320
<v Speaker 6>adult and understood.

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm an adult too.

0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:20.160
<v Speaker 6>Yeah you did send the text because I was too

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:20.480
<v Speaker 6>afraid to.

0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:22.800
<v Speaker 3>It's like someone else is an adult.

0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry.

0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:26.480
<v Speaker 6>It's like people my family does it sometimes too. Maybe

0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:28.320
<v Speaker 6>it's because they're Italian, but they're like, who's going to

0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 6>show up to the wake if they don't show up?

0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:32.720
<v Speaker 6>And I'm like, if you're at a wake someone is

0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.119
<v Speaker 6>in a casket in front of you, and you're saying,

0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.520
<v Speaker 6>I'm taking attendance on who's coming to the wake, that's weird.

0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Yes, maybe I'm Italian.

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Diamond has very grudgy tendencies. Absolutely, But my mom,

0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 2>you know what she did the other day. So my

0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.600
<v Speaker 2>sister got married a year and a half ago. At

0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:51.920
<v Speaker 2>this point, my mom sends her a text message for

0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 2>the umpteenth time, I need a list of what my

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:55.800
<v Speaker 2>friends got you.

0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's petty, right, No.

0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:02.800
<v Speaker 3>Damn it, because I mean now, if your mom is

0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.680
<v Speaker 3>gonna like reach out to said friends and say, hey,

0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.760
<v Speaker 3>she better not I know you got this for Priya

0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:12.640
<v Speaker 3>blah blah blah, then that is petty. But moving forward

0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:14.280
<v Speaker 3>in life, I want to know what, you got my

0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:16.640
<v Speaker 3>kid for her wedding so that I could give your

0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:17.840
<v Speaker 3>kids the same caliber.

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think that that's what she's doing. But I'm like,

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:21.720
<v Speaker 2>oh my god. First of all, she's never gonna make

0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:23.480
<v Speaker 2>a spreadsheet and remember any of that shit. So it's

0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.320
<v Speaker 2>just gonna be my sister's responsibility, like when something pops

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:27.880
<v Speaker 2>up for her to be like, how much did salence?

0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you.

0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:31.080
<v Speaker 2>It's genuinely just my mom being nosy. I don't really

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.320
<v Speaker 2>think it's all that serious, but man, she needs to know.

0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:36.960
<v Speaker 2>She has really asked my sister repeatedly for this information.

0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:38.480
<v Speaker 3>Ye love that for her.

0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait till Diamond gets married.

0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:42.080
<v Speaker 5>Yep.

0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:45.280
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, we're making I'm gonna start my spreadsheet early.

0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, I'm sorry.

0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:48.360
<v Speaker 4>I can't make it.

0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:50.199
<v Speaker 6>I'm sick.

0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:55.280
<v Speaker 3>I will block you, like literally, especially if you wait

0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 3>until the blocked.

0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask you guys this.

0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 2>So I have a friend who I told you guys

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 2>was getting married in a different country. So I was

0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.959
<v Speaker 2>going there, but something's changed. But I booked my ticket,

0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:10.320
<v Speaker 2>I booked my hotel. Now for whatever reason, I booked

0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:14.560
<v Speaker 2>both of them with cancelation available, just in case.

0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Even though.

0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:18.719
<v Speaker 2>The wedding is pretty close. So I text him the

0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:20.200
<v Speaker 2>other day and I was like, should I do these

0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.680
<v Speaker 2>dates or these dates? Because I booked two tickets because

0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.600
<v Speaker 2>for the business class it was actually really inexpensive, which

0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:27.920
<v Speaker 2>is crazy. So I booked two tickets and I was like,

0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.200
<v Speaker 2>which one should I do? And he hit me back

0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:33.160
<v Speaker 2>and was like, don't book anything. The wedding is can

0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:33.959
<v Speaker 2>what's going on?

0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:36.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know. He told me we'll

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:37.319
<v Speaker 1>talk this week.

0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:39.959
<v Speaker 2>Maybe they like shrunk the guest list or something and

0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:41.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm just not invited anymore.

0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but I was like, oh shit, okay,

0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:45.520
<v Speaker 1>what is going on now? Here's my thing?

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Right, that happens whatever. It's not their responsibility to continue

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 2>to do something if they don't feel it in their

0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:53.800
<v Speaker 2>bones anymore. Yeah, but like this isn't a foreign country,

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.800
<v Speaker 2>not a long time away. I imagine a lot of

0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.200
<v Speaker 2>people have booked a lot of shit to go.

0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Well what.

0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:07.599
<v Speaker 3>This happened? On Summerhouse this last season, Carl Lindsay was

0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:09.720
<v Speaker 3>supposed to get married in Mexico. Carl broke up with

0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:12.440
<v Speaker 3>Lindsay two months before the wedding. I don't know if

0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:15.400
<v Speaker 3>it was Carl and his Yeah, Carl and his family

0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:16.880
<v Speaker 3>still went to Mexico.

0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.200
<v Speaker 1>You shouldn't marry people if don't want to get married.

0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:21.400
<v Speaker 2>You know, if Brandon's friend did what, I might have

0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:25.200
<v Speaker 2>told you this same thing destination wedding. It was in Mexico,

0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 2>everybody came essentially a weakish or so he decided he

0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.840
<v Speaker 2>wasn't going through with it. He didn't tell the bride.

0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.679
<v Speaker 2>They went through the whole wedding. He basically faked the

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:37.640
<v Speaker 2>whole thing. But you know, when you get married in

0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:39.240
<v Speaker 2>a foreign country, you then have to come here and

0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.360
<v Speaker 2>like sign all the paperwork. He was like, no, we're

0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:42.960
<v Speaker 2>not signing the paper and I'm not getting married.

0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.920
<v Speaker 6>That's sociopathic behavior, that's what he's said.

0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:48.800
<v Speaker 2>I was like, okay, so part of me understands why

0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:50.880
<v Speaker 2>he would do that, because everybody was coming, everybody booked

0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:52.200
<v Speaker 2>their shit, everybody had a good time.

0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Also, like you got all the presents from.

0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:57.120
<v Speaker 2>Whatever people bought you, Like, that's crazy. But to then

0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:58.920
<v Speaker 2>like to fake the wedding and she thinks this is

0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:00.560
<v Speaker 2>the happiest day of her life. And then you guys

0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:04.880
<v Speaker 2>come home and he's like, yeah, no, So what happened

0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:06.800
<v Speaker 2>was I don't want to get married, Like what.

0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:08.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, is that what?

0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.200
<v Speaker 3>Love and hip hop? Love and hip hop? I don't

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 3>remember which. I guess love and hip hop New York.

0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:18.240
<v Speaker 3>But she he was going to jail. Mendyce's was going

0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:21.000
<v Speaker 3>to jail. They had the full blown wedding in the city,

0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:25.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean, like huge wedding film for TV and everything,

0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.800
<v Speaker 3>and she never mailed in the marriage license or marriage

0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:31.840
<v Speaker 3>certificate because guess what, she didn't want to pay child

0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:33.040
<v Speaker 3>support on his behalf.

0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:37.040
<v Speaker 2>I understand that. I totally get that. So I feel

0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:38.760
<v Speaker 2>like we already burned Andrew in the burn book.

0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:40.000
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, he's burned.

0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:42.080
<v Speaker 1>But you know, it's cool about this.

0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:45.120
<v Speaker 2>We should get Josh in here at some point because

0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.560
<v Speaker 2>this is probably not happening. That frees up all of

0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.160
<v Speaker 2>us for that vacation to maybe doing off the grid trip.

0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh. I love that.

0:11:58.000 --> 0:11:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Out of ten.

0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I was just thinking about what I should do because

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.680
<v Speaker 2>all of you guys said you were available. Yeah, when

0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:05.080
<v Speaker 2>let me tell you, initially Andrew over here said he

0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:06.680
<v Speaker 2>wasn't available, and that.

0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.320
<v Speaker 6>Woned October. I'm in Portugal.

0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.480
<v Speaker 1>No, you said, I'm buck for all the vacations. I

0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:13.840
<v Speaker 1>don't think I can do anything.

0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:18.959
<v Speaker 3>Actually, don't forget he cancels last minute. Better fucking you

0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.240
<v Speaker 3>may have had a vacation plan for August, but he

0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.880
<v Speaker 3>said never mind because he didn't feel like going just

0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:25.120
<v Speaker 3>the same way he did with this wedding.

0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:28.240
<v Speaker 2>If Josh was in here, I feel like he would

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.040
<v Speaker 2>be triggered by this conversation because he got mad at

0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.560
<v Speaker 2>me about a vacation thing. Not too long ago, too long,

0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:34.600
<v Speaker 2>too involved. Do you guys think Josh is ever going

0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:35.840
<v Speaker 2>to actually do his episode?

0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:39.160
<v Speaker 3>No, he told me he was well book it.

0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:41.000
<v Speaker 1>We should go get him and see what he has

0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.600
<v Speaker 1>to say. You think he has an intern in there?

0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Excellent, go disturb it it.

0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:51.720
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't important.

0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.000
<v Speaker 2>It's so important Josh, Josh, le's see if we can even.

0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:54.559
<v Speaker 1>Hear him doing it.

0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:56.880
<v Speaker 3>He's going to see around.

0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Does he come back with him?

0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:00.800
<v Speaker 5>Hi?

0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Hi, buddy, come in here for a second.

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:04.920
<v Speaker 6>Is this your podcast?

0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:09.920
<v Speaker 2>This is my stupid podcast. We were seeing if you're available.

0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:12.120
<v Speaker 2>First of all, that air feels amazing. We're seeing if

0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:13.840
<v Speaker 2>you're available to do off the grid in August.

0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:15.760
<v Speaker 7>Tell me more, tell me more.

0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh, we know right now. You just asked me to go.

0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that I got chair.

0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:25.520
<v Speaker 2>And and we were debating if you're ever going to

0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:30.560
<v Speaker 2>sit down and actually do your podcast episode as discussed, what.

0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.560
<v Speaker 7>Do you want to talk about if we tease?

0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so we actually teased in the trailer. You're in

0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:39.400
<v Speaker 2>the trailer for this show why one of my coworkers

0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:41.360
<v Speaker 2>was absent for the entire month of November, and then

0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:43.080
<v Speaker 2>we never ever got to it. So, I mean, at

0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:44.640
<v Speaker 2>some point I feel like we should cover that why

0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I was.

0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.840
<v Speaker 7>Sick for the month of November. Yeah, there's a reason,

0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:50.600
<v Speaker 7>hey know.

0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:51.960
<v Speaker 1>And the reasons one of my favorite things.

0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.600
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, so we were doing that, and then see

0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:56.160
<v Speaker 2>if you're going to be on the podcast, So you're

0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:57.079
<v Speaker 2>in for Off the Grid.

0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:00.720
<v Speaker 7>My August is free. Yes, I could do it in theory.

0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.200
<v Speaker 7>In theory, well, yeah, where are we going? What are

0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:03.560
<v Speaker 7>we doing?

0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:05.520
<v Speaker 2>We need to discuss it, Okay, we all need to

0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:06.439
<v Speaker 2>get on the same page.

0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:10.400
<v Speaker 6>I'm down, I'm in okay, Josh, Yeah, yes.

0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:15.040
<v Speaker 2>We have a lot to figure out in like two months.

0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, fuck yeah, Yesked, if you had to.

0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:20.920
<v Speaker 6>Drive, I could drive.

0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:26.200
<v Speaker 1>D Andrew hit a mountain. Yeah, no, he really did, Josh.

0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:27.280
<v Speaker 1>It was very scary.

0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:28.600
<v Speaker 7>He ran into a mountain.

0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:30.880
<v Speaker 1>No, he hit a mountain with an RV?

0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:31.480
<v Speaker 7>Was it?

0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:32.360
<v Speaker 6>I got us?

0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:32.600
<v Speaker 4>There?

0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:34.720
<v Speaker 7>Was it a famous mountain?

0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.840
<v Speaker 6>Like? Yeah, it was in Sequoia National Park. It's a

0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:40.320
<v Speaker 6>really high up hill. It was a thirty foot RV

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.800
<v Speaker 6>when I was promised to twenty foot RV. So I'm sorry,

0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:47.120
<v Speaker 6>and I drove the entire time, so you're well, wait, wait,

0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:47.680
<v Speaker 6>wait wait.

0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:49.960
<v Speaker 2>I definitely drove for a little while, but it was

0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.240
<v Speaker 2>freaking everyone out because I basically had to stand while

0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:57.280
<v Speaker 2>driving short but also Andrew, they told us how fast.

0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:01.080
<v Speaker 2>They tell us we can't go above seventy.

0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:03.000
<v Speaker 6>Which is, let me just say the slowest, like slow

0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:03.600
<v Speaker 6>pokes go down.

0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:05.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, But there's a reason they said don't go above

0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:07.000
<v Speaker 2>sixty five because if you have to hit the brakes,

0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.400
<v Speaker 2>you have the back half of a thirty foot trailer,

0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:13.160
<v Speaker 2>more than half that continues at the same speed. Andrew

0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:15.720
<v Speaker 2>would not go under eighty five the entire time, so

0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:16.760
<v Speaker 2>I think you might have to drive.

0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:22.560
<v Speaker 7>He almost drove off a cliff in Yosemite, like going fifty.

0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:27.200
<v Speaker 7>They have like like the falling rock signs, and you're

0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:29.240
<v Speaker 7>on like legitimately on the edge of a cliff, and

0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:32.320
<v Speaker 7>if like one wrong turn and you're you're going down

0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:36.280
<v Speaker 7>the mountain and he's through it like he's on the

0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:38.720
<v Speaker 7>way to the Jersey Shore and trying to be traffic.

0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:39.960
<v Speaker 7>It's just insane.

0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.840
<v Speaker 6>And I got us there early, so everyone is welcome again.

0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:48.080
<v Speaker 3>Yah no, No, that's all you want to Josh.

0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Thanks so stud your episode next week, yay, I can't wait.

0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:55.440
<v Speaker 2>Josh's reasons for being out all of November are probably

0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:56.440
<v Speaker 2>my favorite thing in the world.

0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:58.720
<v Speaker 6>Well, I have to go back and do work now

0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.920
<v Speaker 6>as well. So hot in here, Andrew, you know you

0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.080
<v Speaker 6>don't work because the AC doesn't work. It's all pumping

0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:05.040
<v Speaker 6>out in there.

0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you could work on that while you're fake working

0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:08.880
<v Speaker 2>over your desk. What do you think he's gonna go do?

0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:11.360
<v Speaker 3>Diamond, listen to Chapel Roone.

0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:12.960

<v Speaker 4>just gotten with the flow of Tandon.

0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:22.560
<v Speaker 2>We're here to talk with Nira Tandon from the White

0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:27.600
<v Speaker 2>House about the reschedulization or rescheduling I should say, of marijuana.

0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Hello, Yes, how are you. I'm doing well.

0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:33.919
<v Speaker 2>I'm excited to get into this because I have a

0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:36.879
<v Speaker 2>million questions about how it's going to work and timeframes

0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:39.440
<v Speaker 2>and all of that. So it's a schedule one right now,

0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:41.800
<v Speaker 2>same as math, same as methanol. And you guys want

0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:44.159
<v Speaker 2>to change it to what is that where the schedule

0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:44.800
<v Speaker 2>three comes in.

0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:49.879
<v Speaker 4>Yes, we're changing it to Schedule three, which is much

0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:54.200
<v Speaker 4>more like how we handle prescription drugs and strong medications

0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:57.840
<v Speaker 4>like codine and other things, but not like LSD.

0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:01.520
<v Speaker 5>And basically what happened here is the President.

0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:06.480
<v Speaker 4>Set up a process for examining marijuana. It takes a

0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:09.080
<v Speaker 4>little while, the process takes a little while, but basically

0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.480
<v Speaker 4>the Department of Health and Human Services did a scientific

0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:15.440
<v Speaker 4>analysis of whether we should really have how we should

0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:18.440
<v Speaker 4>really look at marijuana, and whether marijuana really should be

0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:24.679
<v Speaker 4>like ventanyl or LSD and other really intense drugs that

0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:27.119
<v Speaker 4>you know are can be pretty dangerous.

0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:30.399
<v Speaker 5>And so they consulted experts.

0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:34.320
<v Speaker 4>And did a very third view and found that marijuana

0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:37.480
<v Speaker 4>really should be Schedule three. And what that really means

0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:41.280
<v Speaker 4>is it just really shouldn't be regulated, and the federal

0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:45.199
<v Speaker 4>argument should not regulate it like it regulates.

0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:45.639
<v Speaker 5>A drugs like LSD.

0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:49.439
<v Speaker 4>And it may it will make it research easier, and

0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:53.119
<v Speaker 4>I'll be a little bit easier for cannabis businesses to

0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:57.080
<v Speaker 4>engage in lawful practices in their in their states. So

0:18:57.480 --> 0:18:59.720
<v Speaker 4>it has that kind of impact. It does not legal

0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:03.120
<v Speaker 4>Anyone's going to be honest with everyone, that's not that

0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:06.000
<v Speaker 4>takes Congress. But what the President is doing is really

0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:11.160
<v Speaker 4>using his executive powers to you know, to really move

0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:11.680
<v Speaker 4>the needle.

0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:13.560
<v Speaker 5>And you know, this is a really historic action.

0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:16.159
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so it's not going to legalize things, but what

0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:20.280
<v Speaker 2>does this mean for people who are currently serving time

0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:24.000
<v Speaker 2>have been incarcerated under kind of regulations that we're dealing

0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:25.159
<v Speaker 2>with the Schedule one drug.

0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:28.119
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's it. That's a great question.

0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:31.479
<v Speaker 4>And I would say most fundamentally, the President believes that

0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:35.200
<v Speaker 4>no one should be in jail for the mere possession

0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:37.480
<v Speaker 4>of marijuana, and he's really acted on that.

0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:41.399
<v Speaker 5>So he's ensured thousands.

0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:45.320
<v Speaker 4>Of pounds thousands of pardons for people in federal prisons too,

0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:49.480
<v Speaker 4>who are in who are basically in for drug possession

0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:51.480
<v Speaker 4>or marijuana possessions specifically.

0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:53.760
<v Speaker 5>So that's his overall approach.

0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:58.640
<v Speaker 4>Now, this this rescheduling or moving from schedule to one,

0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:02.960
<v Speaker 4>from Schedule one to get Edule three, doesn't actually impact

0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:08.600
<v Speaker 4>It doesn't actually impact sentences because sentences.

0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:10.800
<v Speaker 5>Are based on legislation.

0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:15.120
<v Speaker 4>So President isn't able to just do that by executive action.

0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:17.680
<v Speaker 4>What he is doing is taking them, you know, really

0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:22.320
<v Speaker 4>the most sweeping executive action he can to ensure that

0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:25.240
<v Speaker 4>our federal government looks at marijuana like it should, which

0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:28.800
<v Speaker 4>is not in the same category as LSD.

0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:31.680
<v Speaker 2>So what are some of the things that researchers found

0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:35.439
<v Speaker 2>that made them, well the collectives say, hey, let's switch

0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:38.040
<v Speaker 2>this from Schedule one to Schedule three. And I'm asking

0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:39.040
<v Speaker 2>that question for a reason.

0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:44.000
<v Speaker 4>They looked at addictiveness, impact on health, what the impact

0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:47.960
<v Speaker 4>of marijuana is on you know, people's short term and

0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:52.360
<v Speaker 4>long term health. It was a very detailed analysis, and

0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:55.480
<v Speaker 4>they basically found that it should you know, shouldn't. It

0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:58.879
<v Speaker 4>doesn't have the same impact as you know, other more

0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:00.000
<v Speaker 4>dangerous drugs.

0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So then the reason I asked that question is

0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:03.720
<v Speaker 2>there's also been a lot of talk and maybe you

0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:05.600
<v Speaker 2>guys haven't even gotten to this yet, but there's so

0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:10.160
<v Speaker 2>much talk right now about psilocybin having similar impacts on health,

0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:12.640
<v Speaker 2>whether it's your mental health or just overall anxiety.

0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:14.359
<v Speaker 1>Anxiety is part of mental health.

0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:17.639
<v Speaker 2>But is psilocybin something that people are going to look

0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:19.320
<v Speaker 2>out in the future or are we taking this one

0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:20.119
<v Speaker 2>step at a time?

0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Where are you guys at with that?

0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:25.560
<v Speaker 4>We are definitely taking it one step at a time,

0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:27.920
<v Speaker 4>But I'd also say it's really up to the Department

0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:30.920
<v Speaker 4>of Health and Human Services. These are scientific decisions, they're

0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:34.760
<v Speaker 4>not political decisions, and I would really defer to them

0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:37.200
<v Speaker 4>on how they're going to approach.

0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:40.400
<v Speaker 5>Other drugs in the future. I know there's a.

0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:44.600
<v Speaker 4>Wide debate about psilocybin, but I think that our view

0:21:44.720 --> 0:21:47.240
<v Speaker 4>is that experts should really look at these issues and

0:21:48.119 --> 0:21:49.879
<v Speaker 4>we defer to them and how to handle that.

0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:52.080
<v Speaker 2>Do you have their phone number if we wanted to

0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:53.080
<v Speaker 2>call them later inact?

0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:57.880
<v Speaker 5>You know, I think it's I think it's on the internet.

0:21:58.000 --> 0:21:59.520
<v Speaker 5>I don't have enough at the top of my hand.

0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:02.159
<v Speaker 2>Okay, we'll find it. I am very into this. I

0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:04.840
<v Speaker 2>think this is great. It's gonna hopefully have a positive

0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:06.240
<v Speaker 2>impact on a lot of things and a lot of people.

0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:10.680
<v Speaker 2>And you mentioned something earlier talking about how businesses can

0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:15.200
<v Speaker 2>operate can operate legally now, so you hear a lot

0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:17.560
<v Speaker 2>of talk about, yes, it's been legalized state to state.

0:22:17.640 --> 0:22:20.439
<v Speaker 2>Certain things have happened state to state, but federally it

0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:23.240
<v Speaker 2>hasn't been so from what I hear, I do not

0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:25.320
<v Speaker 2>obviously know a lot about this. I'm going to ask

0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:28.480
<v Speaker 2>you the questions, how does it work. As far as

0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:31.680
<v Speaker 2>let's say I own a business, I'm making money off

0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:34.800
<v Speaker 2>of marijuana in the state of Michigan, and now I

0:22:34.840 --> 0:22:36.520
<v Speaker 2>have all of this money, but the federal banks won't

0:22:36.520 --> 0:22:39.159
<v Speaker 2>take it because federally it's illegal. How do you know

0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:41.280
<v Speaker 2>how that's working or how that will change?

0:22:41.680 --> 0:22:46.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean it's actually it's just a bit convoluted here.

0:22:46.119 --> 0:22:51.160
<v Speaker 4>But there's okay, a tax provision which says, so this

0:22:51.200 --> 0:22:56.320
<v Speaker 4>is a US tax law that says companies that have

0:22:56.480 --> 0:23:00.800
<v Speaker 4>drugs like Schedule one drugs that engage in schedule any

0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:05.320
<v Speaker 4>practice related to Schedule one drugs have higher taxes. They

0:23:05.320 --> 0:23:08.520
<v Speaker 4>can't really defer their payments, they can't really take some

0:23:08.680 --> 0:23:10.840
<v Speaker 4>tax breaks that normal businesses can.

0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:14.480
<v Speaker 5>So the the rescheduling affects.

0:23:14.520 --> 0:23:18.879
<v Speaker 4>This affects these companies by making it you know, more

0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:22.359
<v Speaker 4>of like how they treat prescription drugs, which is just

0:23:22.400 --> 0:23:26.000
<v Speaker 4>another product. So it actually has a significant impact on

0:23:26.560 --> 0:23:30.440
<v Speaker 4>businesses that are engaged in cannabis because, you know, all

0:23:30.520 --> 0:23:33.639
<v Speaker 4>legally obviously in their in their states, because because of

0:23:33.720 --> 0:23:37.920
<v Speaker 4>federal law, they have sort of uh, federal taxes that

0:23:37.960 --> 0:23:38.960
<v Speaker 4>they pay.

0:23:39.760 --> 0:23:42.439
<v Speaker 5>Under Schedule one that they wouldn't pay under scheduled free.

0:23:42.480 --> 0:23:47.000
<v Speaker 4>So that is a that is an important aspect of rescheduling.

0:23:46.680 --> 0:23:48.800
<v Speaker 2>That seems very important. Everybody wants to keep a little

0:23:48.800 --> 0:23:51.439
<v Speaker 2>more money if they can, right, Yeah, So it's.

0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:54.080
<v Speaker 4>A bit wonky and sorry to wank out, but that

0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:56.359
<v Speaker 4>that is that is like, that is a big that

0:23:56.480 --> 0:23:57.240
<v Speaker 4>is a big.

0:23:57.320 --> 0:23:59.600
<v Speaker 5>Part of this as well in terms of impact.

0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:02.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, absolutely. I mean you're you're the expert here. That's

0:24:02.200 --> 0:24:04.159
<v Speaker 2>why I'm asking you all the questions. How did you

0:24:04.840 --> 0:24:07.359
<v Speaker 2>get involved with this, like what is your background and

0:24:07.400 --> 0:24:11.159
<v Speaker 2>how did you get to rescheduling marijuana or talking about it?

0:24:11.400 --> 0:24:13.359
<v Speaker 5>Well, I have a job.

0:24:14.200 --> 0:24:17.639
<v Speaker 4>My job is Domestic Policy Advisor to the President. I

0:24:17.680 --> 0:24:20.280
<v Speaker 4>have see the domestic policy counsel at the White House,

0:24:20.320 --> 0:24:24.240
<v Speaker 4>and really what that means is if there's on issues like.

0:24:24.280 --> 0:24:27.880
<v Speaker 5>Childcare or healthcare, or crime or.

0:24:29.240 --> 0:24:32.520
<v Speaker 4>Criminal justice and how we make our criminal justice system workfair,

0:24:32.760 --> 0:24:36.439
<v Speaker 4>I oversee those issues for the President. So, you know,

0:24:36.560 --> 0:24:41.320
<v Speaker 4>we look at marijuana rescheduling as and the President's approached marijuana,

0:24:41.320 --> 0:24:44.000
<v Speaker 4>which is really just to say again that the way

0:24:44.040 --> 0:24:47.959
<v Speaker 4>our country has treated marijuana has been really you know, suspects,

0:24:48.080 --> 0:24:51.280
<v Speaker 4>black and brown people are criminalized at higher rates for

0:24:51.359 --> 0:24:56.840
<v Speaker 4>marijuana marijuana possession, and so the President has looked at

0:24:56.840 --> 0:24:58.840
<v Speaker 4>this from the perspective.

0:24:58.359 --> 0:25:01.680
<v Speaker 5>Of what we should do people's health, but he's also

0:25:01.720 --> 0:25:04.480
<v Speaker 5>looked at this from the perspective of just basic common

0:25:04.560 --> 0:25:05.280
<v Speaker 5>fairness and.

0:25:06.800 --> 0:25:10.000
<v Speaker 4>Having a criminal justice system that treats people equally. So

0:25:10.359 --> 0:25:13.640
<v Speaker 4>from both of those ones that he's really approached marijuana

0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:16.639
<v Speaker 4>policy and that's why he's part of so many people

0:25:16.680 --> 0:25:20.160
<v Speaker 4>for marijuana possession, but also wanted to look at rescheduling

0:25:20.200 --> 0:25:23.520
<v Speaker 4>to ensure that our you know, that our marijuana laws

0:25:23.600 --> 0:25:28.600
<v Speaker 4>actually reflect expertise and basically come into the twenty first century.

0:25:28.760 --> 0:25:32.439
<v Speaker 4>So that's why I'm That's how I got engaged in this,

0:25:32.560 --> 0:25:36.560
<v Speaker 4>and I have that job for the president, and I've

0:25:36.560 --> 0:25:38.919
<v Speaker 4>been doing domestic policy work for a long time and

0:25:39.000 --> 0:25:41.200
<v Speaker 4>so it's a fun gig.

0:25:41.240 --> 0:25:43.200
<v Speaker 5>Marijuana might be more fun than some of the other

0:25:43.240 --> 0:25:45.840
<v Speaker 5>issues I have to work on. I've been happy to

0:25:45.880 --> 0:25:46.160
<v Speaker 5>do it.

0:25:46.359 --> 0:25:50.360
<v Speaker 2>So this is not something that is potentially happening. This

0:25:50.480 --> 0:25:54.600
<v Speaker 2>is definitely happening. So from correct, yes, So I.

0:25:54.560 --> 0:25:57.159
<v Speaker 4>Do want to be clear this is that this is

0:25:57.200 --> 0:26:00.479
<v Speaker 4>the beginning of the rule making process. The rule is

0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:04.080
<v Speaker 4>on its way, like we expect this will happen, but

0:26:04.119 --> 0:26:06.760
<v Speaker 4>I just want to be crystal clear that it'll be

0:26:06.840 --> 0:26:10.320
<v Speaker 4>you know, it'll be several months till it's fully implemented.

0:26:10.760 --> 0:26:12.560
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm glad you said that, because I wanted to

0:26:12.600 --> 0:26:15.199
<v Speaker 2>know how that works. From the time that this was

0:26:15.480 --> 0:26:17.760
<v Speaker 2>conceptualized and people said, you know what, this is something

0:26:17.800 --> 0:26:20.320
<v Speaker 2>that we should absolutely do, change it from a Schedule

0:26:20.320 --> 0:26:23.280
<v Speaker 2>one to a Schedule three. How long does that process

0:26:23.359 --> 0:26:26.480
<v Speaker 2>take from the beginning to hopefully the end and it

0:26:26.520 --> 0:26:27.480
<v Speaker 2>being finalized.

0:26:27.880 --> 0:26:31.000
<v Speaker 4>Well, the President started this process in December of twenty

0:26:31.080 --> 0:26:33.879
<v Speaker 4>twenty two. And what that in that process was to

0:26:34.240 --> 0:26:37.600
<v Speaker 4>have the Department of Health and Human Services just first

0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:41.679
<v Speaker 4>examine the schedule, like whether the schedule should stay at

0:26:41.720 --> 0:26:44.320
<v Speaker 4>Schedule one or move to Schedule two or Schedule three

0:26:44.440 --> 0:26:49.040
<v Speaker 4>for marijuana. So that process took a fair amount of time.

0:26:49.920 --> 0:26:54.400
<v Speaker 4>It you just delivered its analysis on that basically last year,

0:26:54.520 --> 0:26:59.680
<v Speaker 4>and now the Department of Justice just issued the beginning.

0:26:59.359 --> 0:27:01.359
<v Speaker 5>Of the rule making process. So we'll go through this

0:27:01.400 --> 0:27:04.960
<v Speaker 5>rolemaking process, you know, several months. It'll take. It'll take

0:27:05.080 --> 0:27:05.560
<v Speaker 5>some time.

0:27:06.760 --> 0:27:09.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry to report that the wheels of government sometimes

0:27:09.480 --> 0:27:10.880
<v Speaker 4>work slowly, but they.

0:27:10.800 --> 0:27:12.119
<v Speaker 5>Also work deliberately.

0:27:12.400 --> 0:27:16.160
<v Speaker 4>So our hope and expectation is that this will come out,

0:27:16.200 --> 0:27:18.960
<v Speaker 4>you know, uh, sometime in the next several months, but

0:27:19.000 --> 0:27:21.640
<v Speaker 4>that is really up to the Department of Justice, and

0:27:21.920 --> 0:27:24.160
<v Speaker 4>we don't actually control that process at the White House

0:27:24.200 --> 0:27:24.480
<v Speaker 4>at all.

0:27:24.800 --> 0:27:26.480
<v Speaker 2>So when you say you really hope and you guys

0:27:26.480 --> 0:27:28.119
<v Speaker 2>are are hopeful that this is going to happen in

0:27:28.119 --> 0:27:29.840
<v Speaker 2>the next couple of months, what is something that would

0:27:29.880 --> 0:27:31.200
<v Speaker 2>stop it from happening.

0:27:31.480 --> 0:27:33.840
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it's a it's a it's a rule for

0:27:34.080 --> 0:27:37.240
<v Speaker 4>the Department of Justice to work through. So you know,

0:27:37.400 --> 0:27:41.080
<v Speaker 4>they they could they handle that process, and you know,

0:27:41.240 --> 0:27:44.640
<v Speaker 4>it could get stemmy there. But I think everyone recognizes

0:27:44.680 --> 0:27:48.520
<v Speaker 4>that this is a high priority. And again, the data

0:27:48.560 --> 0:27:51.760
<v Speaker 4>and facts are very clear. And I also just think, look,

0:27:51.840 --> 0:27:55.280
<v Speaker 4>I think most people get that marijuana is very different

0:27:55.320 --> 0:27:59.159
<v Speaker 4>from fetanol or LSD, and the twenty four.

0:27:59.160 --> 0:28:01.720
<v Speaker 5>Century we pies that reflect that reality.

0:28:02.160 --> 0:28:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Do we know why it was initially classified in the

0:28:05.040 --> 0:28:07.160
<v Speaker 2>same category as meth or fentinyl?

0:28:07.240 --> 0:28:08.399
<v Speaker 1>Like, where did that come from?

0:28:08.640 --> 0:28:11.240
<v Speaker 5>I mean that's decades and decades.

0:28:10.840 --> 0:28:16.119
<v Speaker 4>Old, So that came from people's conceptions, you know, twenty thirty,

0:28:16.200 --> 0:28:20.440
<v Speaker 4>forty fifty years ago. So that's you know, exactly why

0:28:21.000 --> 0:28:23.439
<v Speaker 4>we started this process and why the President thought was

0:28:23.440 --> 0:28:27.040
<v Speaker 4>really important because we should re examine There's been a

0:28:27.080 --> 0:28:31.639
<v Speaker 4>lot of science on marijuana and over the last several decades,

0:28:31.720 --> 0:28:34.520
<v Speaker 4>and particularly in the last decade, and h I just

0:28:34.600 --> 0:28:38.400
<v Speaker 4>really looked at that data and found that, frankly, it

0:28:38.480 --> 0:28:41.440
<v Speaker 4>made no sense for marijuana to be in Schedule one.

0:28:42.240 --> 0:28:44.520
<v Speaker 2>Are there any parts of that data and that research

0:28:44.800 --> 0:28:46.920
<v Speaker 2>that stand out to you as something that, hey, people

0:28:46.960 --> 0:28:49.560
<v Speaker 2>really need to know this, this is why we're moving

0:28:49.560 --> 0:28:50.800
<v Speaker 2>in the way that we're moving right now.

0:28:51.120 --> 0:28:53.280
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I think the most important part of the

0:28:53.440 --> 0:28:58.080
<v Speaker 4>data was really just a recognition that there's some pain,

0:28:58.400 --> 0:29:03.080
<v Speaker 4>there's some pain benefits, a meaning it does actually address

0:29:03.160 --> 0:29:06.440
<v Speaker 4>people's pain. There are there are some positives. I mean,

0:29:06.640 --> 0:29:09.720
<v Speaker 4>the h just didn't say like everyone should smoke marijuana.

0:29:09.720 --> 0:29:12.960
<v Speaker 4>Obviously there's some health impact they'll but it's just very

0:29:13.000 --> 0:29:14.960
<v Speaker 4>different and that was the most important thing.

0:29:15.000 --> 0:29:17.560
<v Speaker 5>That's very different from what's in the Schedule one.

0:29:17.760 --> 0:29:20.440
<v Speaker 2>So if you want to tell people a couple of

0:29:20.440 --> 0:29:23.120
<v Speaker 2>really important key facts about what is we're talking about

0:29:23.160 --> 0:29:26.440
<v Speaker 2>right now into two sentences, how would you boil it down?

0:29:26.720 --> 0:29:27.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to do it. I don't want you

0:29:27.880 --> 0:29:28.400
<v Speaker 1>to do it.

0:29:30.520 --> 0:29:33.240
<v Speaker 4>I would say, uh, this is a very this is

0:29:33.240 --> 0:29:36.680
<v Speaker 4>an important important measure. Whether I could get two centences,

0:29:36.760 --> 0:29:41.960
<v Speaker 4>but I'd say fundamentally, the President has directed a process

0:29:42.200 --> 0:29:46.920
<v Speaker 4>to ensure that scientists can research marijuana more easily and

0:29:47.280 --> 0:29:52.920
<v Speaker 4>that marijuana is more accessible, and obviously always with safety

0:29:52.920 --> 0:29:54.320
<v Speaker 4>in mind, always.

0:29:53.960 --> 0:29:55.480
<v Speaker 1>With safety of mind. You think there's any chance of

0:29:55.520 --> 0:29:57.160
<v Speaker 1>him coming to tell us any of this stuff too.

0:29:57.440 --> 0:30:00.160
<v Speaker 5>I'm super down with that. So but that's not, that's

0:30:00.200 --> 0:30:01.480
<v Speaker 5>above my pay grade.

0:30:01.680 --> 0:30:05.240
<v Speaker 2>So that was a very nice Probably not, but we're

0:30:05.280 --> 0:30:07.040
<v Speaker 2>still going to shoot for it. I think that this

0:30:07.160 --> 0:30:09.840
<v Speaker 2>is incredible and I definitely think it's it's important information

0:30:09.880 --> 0:30:11.960
<v Speaker 2>for people to know about. So if they want to

0:30:11.960 --> 0:30:13.560
<v Speaker 2>do their own research and come find out what you

0:30:13.560 --> 0:30:15.400
<v Speaker 2>guys are talking about, is their website, you can direct

0:30:15.440 --> 0:30:16.680
<v Speaker 2>them to to get this information.

0:30:17.000 --> 0:30:19.840
<v Speaker 4>I always direct people to the White House website. The

0:30:19.880 --> 0:30:22.880
<v Speaker 4>President announced this. There's also he did a he did

0:30:22.920 --> 0:30:25.600
<v Speaker 4>a video around this, so you know, all that is

0:30:25.640 --> 0:30:28.080
<v Speaker 4>accessible online on social media.

0:30:28.160 --> 0:30:29.240
<v Speaker 5>But also you can just.

0:30:29.160 --> 0:30:31.640
<v Speaker 4>Go to the White House website and they'll have information.

0:30:31.960 --> 0:30:34.600
<v Speaker 4>I can send you to the Department of Justice website

0:30:34.640 --> 0:30:38.000
<v Speaker 4>that announced this, but it's it's really it's pretty walking.

0:30:38.240 --> 0:30:40.720
<v Speaker 4>So I think I think the President explains I think

0:30:40.720 --> 0:30:43.760
<v Speaker 4>it President explains it best in his video which is online.

0:30:44.000 --> 0:30:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it was. I think we saw it

0:30:45.800 --> 0:30:48.000
<v Speaker 2>on X. Maybe it was posted over there.

0:30:48.680 --> 0:30:50.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, come on, X, is that what's.

0:30:52.560 --> 0:30:54.000
<v Speaker 1>All the time? Okay?

0:30:54.120 --> 0:30:56.040
<v Speaker 2>And I don't even know how you say, like, did

0:30:56.080 --> 0:30:57.760
<v Speaker 2>you X something? I don't know you posted.

0:30:57.960 --> 0:30:59.959
<v Speaker 5>I know I was supposed to say, did you X

0:31:00.080 --> 0:31:00.920
<v Speaker 5>something that's here?

0:31:01.520 --> 0:31:02.600
<v Speaker 1>It's a weird way to say it.

0:31:02.720 --> 0:31:04.600
<v Speaker 2>But I think we'll find that audio and we'll play

0:31:04.600 --> 0:31:06.200
<v Speaker 2>it right here so that people can actually hear it

0:31:06.200 --> 0:31:06.840
<v Speaker 2>out of his mouth.

0:31:06.960 --> 0:31:11.280
<v Speaker 8>This is monumental. Today my administration took a major step

0:31:11.760 --> 0:31:15.960
<v Speaker 8>to reclassify marijuana from a Scheduled one drug to Schedule

0:31:16.000 --> 0:31:18.880
<v Speaker 8>three drug. It's an important move toward reversing the long

0:31:18.880 --> 0:31:22.240
<v Speaker 8>standing iniquities. Today's announcement bill's on the work we've already

0:31:22.280 --> 0:31:24.680
<v Speaker 8>done to partner a record number of federal offenses for

0:31:24.760 --> 0:31:27.720
<v Speaker 8>simple possession of marijuana, and as of the actual we've

0:31:27.720 --> 0:31:31.840
<v Speaker 8>taken the lift parriage to housing, employment, small business loans,

0:31:31.880 --> 0:31:36.920
<v Speaker 8>and so much more for tens of thousands of Americans. Look, folks, now,

0:31:36.960 --> 0:31:40.640
<v Speaker 8>one should be in jail merely for using or possessing marijuana, period.

0:31:41.520 --> 0:31:43.880
<v Speaker 8>Far too many lives have been upended because of failed

0:31:43.920 --> 0:31:47.480
<v Speaker 8>approach to marijuana, and I'm committed to writing those wrongs.

0:31:47.920 --> 0:31:49.040
<v Speaker 8>You have my word on it.

0:31:49.240 --> 0:31:51.480
<v Speaker 5>Way better than me, way better than me.

0:31:51.880 --> 0:31:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Not a chance.

0:31:53.520 --> 0:31:57.520
<v Speaker 2>We're so excited that anybody from the White House staff

0:31:57.560 --> 0:32:00.560
<v Speaker 2>wanted to talk to us, so thanks for the time

0:32:00.600 --> 0:32:01.080
<v Speaker 2>to do that.

0:32:01.400 --> 0:32:04.680
<v Speaker 4>Of course, as Superbride, I'll let everyone know it was great.

0:32:04.760 --> 0:32:06.400
<v Speaker 2>Awesome, And if you guys have other stuff you want

0:32:06.440 --> 0:32:08.080
<v Speaker 2>to talk about in the future as far as policy,

0:32:08.080 --> 0:32:10.080
<v Speaker 2>because I know you just listed off like thirty things

0:32:10.120 --> 0:32:13.000
<v Speaker 2>that you are working on. I am fascinated by this

0:32:13.000 --> 0:32:15.000
<v Speaker 2>stuff and I would love to ask you a bunch

0:32:15.040 --> 0:32:17.200
<v Speaker 2>more questions, So please feel free to reach out to

0:32:17.240 --> 0:32:19.160
<v Speaker 2>us anytime about stuff we want to have.

0:32:19.200 --> 0:32:20.720
<v Speaker 1>The conversations great.

0:32:21.120 --> 0:32:23.280
<v Speaker 5>I love it all right, thanks so much for having me.

0:32:23.520 --> 0:32:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Near a Tandon. Thank you so much for your time.

0:32:25.600 --> 0:32:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Have a fabulous day, and we will maybe go look

0:32:29.000 --> 0:32:30.560
<v Speaker 2>up all these numbers that you talked about online right

0:32:30.600 --> 0:32:44.240
<v Speaker 2>now bank see ya bye. First of all, Diamond, what

0:32:44.280 --> 0:32:45.000
<v Speaker 2>were your thoughts on that.

0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:49.600
<v Speaker 3>I love that we're rescheduling, but I don't really know

0:32:49.800 --> 0:32:50.800
<v Speaker 3>will it make a difference.

0:32:51.600 --> 0:32:52.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:32:52.280 --> 0:32:54.560
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean, so that's where I got a little confused.

0:32:54.560 --> 0:32:55.840
<v Speaker 2>I thought there were going to be a lot more

0:32:55.840 --> 0:32:58.640
<v Speaker 2>answers and kind of like definitive answers about things. It

0:32:58.680 --> 0:33:00.760
<v Speaker 2>doesn't seem that that's the case. I also feel like

0:33:00.800 --> 0:33:03.720
<v Speaker 2>that was such a brief snapshot into how politics work,

0:33:04.040 --> 0:33:05.960
<v Speaker 2>which is like, hey, we're going to make this happen. Oh,

0:33:06.000 --> 0:33:08.040
<v Speaker 2>but if you want X, Y, and Z to happen

0:33:08.080 --> 0:33:11.320
<v Speaker 2>after that, that actually goes to these different departments and

0:33:11.360 --> 0:33:13.640
<v Speaker 2>they move at their own pace and we'll figure out

0:33:13.680 --> 0:33:15.640
<v Speaker 2>how it goes. And if you need those answers, you

0:33:15.680 --> 0:33:18.400
<v Speaker 2>have to talk to them. I think it's definitely great

0:33:18.440 --> 0:33:21.760
<v Speaker 2>to reschedule from a class one, which is insane, to

0:33:21.840 --> 0:33:26.480
<v Speaker 2>classified weed as fentanyl and math. But now we're going

0:33:26.560 --> 0:33:28.240
<v Speaker 2>to move in to schedule three. And then what does

0:33:28.240 --> 0:33:30.360
<v Speaker 2>happen to all the people who are currently in jail

0:33:30.560 --> 0:33:32.840
<v Speaker 2>for this thing that is now legal in all these states?

0:33:33.240 --> 0:33:33.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:33:33.920 --> 0:33:36.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, obviously there's the presidential pardon, which is possible.

0:33:37.120 --> 0:33:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Is he going to pardon a bunch of people?

0:33:39.400 --> 0:33:40.800
<v Speaker 1>What if he doesn't win the election?

0:33:41.560 --> 0:33:43.760
<v Speaker 3>And now all this you're doing all these things in

0:33:43.800 --> 0:33:45.920
<v Speaker 3>the last what six months? Right?

0:33:46.280 --> 0:33:48.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, And I don't think we're gonna get

0:33:48.160 --> 0:33:50.040
<v Speaker 2>answers from them about a lot of stuff. And I

0:33:50.080 --> 0:33:52.240
<v Speaker 2>would really like to actually see the numbers and like

0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:54.120
<v Speaker 2>the data that backs up some of the stuff that

0:33:54.120 --> 0:33:57.040
<v Speaker 2>they're saying, because it is really important if there are

0:33:57.080 --> 0:34:00.280
<v Speaker 2>health benefits to highlight, like hey, maybe we should certainly some.

0:34:00.320 --> 0:34:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Other drugs too, Yeah, like psilocybin.

0:34:02.960 --> 0:34:06.080
<v Speaker 2>There have been so many proven studies that psilocybin is

0:34:06.160 --> 0:34:09.640
<v Speaker 2>really good for certain mental health issues. And I mean,

0:34:10.080 --> 0:34:13.200
<v Speaker 2>listen for Recreation Funness Book. I wish I'm not even

0:34:13.239 --> 0:34:15.680
<v Speaker 2>gonna I'm not joking. So I wish everybody I knew

0:34:16.040 --> 0:34:18.839
<v Speaker 2>could have one good trip in their life, just to

0:34:18.920 --> 0:34:21.560
<v Speaker 2>understand what that feels like and how it changes your thought.

0:34:21.719 --> 0:34:22.160
<v Speaker 1>That's all.

0:34:22.360 --> 0:34:22.440
<v Speaker 7>No.

0:34:22.719 --> 0:34:25.319
<v Speaker 2>I know, people are like, eh, you're pushing drugs. I am, well,

0:34:25.320 --> 0:34:27.320
<v Speaker 2>this one I am. It's a mushroom, it's outside.

0:34:27.320 --> 0:34:31.000
<v Speaker 3>Come on. I'm terrified, just because I've had bad trips

0:34:31.080 --> 0:34:31.600
<v Speaker 3>with weed.

0:34:32.280 --> 0:34:35.440
<v Speaker 1>So I'm like, you know, a trip, damn it. Oh no, no, no.

0:34:35.400 --> 0:34:37.560
<v Speaker 3>Ask my friends that were there. That was a trip.

0:34:37.600 --> 0:34:38.120
<v Speaker 3>It was bad.

0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:40.720
<v Speaker 1>I would like to hear about that. What happened.

0:34:41.880 --> 0:34:45.720
<v Speaker 3>I there were two instances. Actually, one I just felt

0:34:45.719 --> 0:34:50.759
<v Speaker 3>like I was in a daze, like that's literally my

0:34:50.760 --> 0:34:54.000
<v Speaker 3>head helping. You know, it was bad and like everything

0:34:54.080 --> 0:34:56.560
<v Speaker 3>was so loud, and I started freaking out and then

0:34:56.600 --> 0:34:59.160
<v Speaker 3>I threw up, and it was like, what the hell

0:34:59.239 --> 0:35:01.120
<v Speaker 3>is going on? And then the second time, you know

0:35:01.120 --> 0:35:03.040
<v Speaker 3>how your foot falls asleep and you feel the little

0:35:03.040 --> 0:35:06.759
<v Speaker 3>prickles or whatever, I felt it down my back and

0:35:06.840 --> 0:35:10.000
<v Speaker 3>I thought that girl, I thought I was gonna die. Yeah,

0:35:10.040 --> 0:35:11.480
<v Speaker 3>this is on a music festival.

0:35:11.520 --> 0:35:14.279
<v Speaker 2>That sounds terrible. Maybe somebody laced it with something, That's

0:35:14.320 --> 0:35:14.960
<v Speaker 2>what I thought.

0:35:15.080 --> 0:35:17.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. But everybody else was fine, and we

0:35:17.160 --> 0:35:20.000
<v Speaker 3>all smoked together, and I'm like, maybe you smoke the

0:35:20.000 --> 0:35:22.640
<v Speaker 3>seed you know you're not supposed to. And I'm like, oh, great, amazing.

0:35:22.960 --> 0:35:25.000
<v Speaker 3>Maybe I did and nobody else did.

0:35:25.320 --> 0:35:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:35:25.680 --> 0:35:28.560
<v Speaker 2>Sure, So Diamond is out for any of the trips.

0:35:28.560 --> 0:35:30.160
<v Speaker 2>This could change off the grid drastically.

0:35:30.320 --> 0:35:32.319
<v Speaker 1>What do you and Andrew? Actually, Andrew does it too?

0:35:32.440 --> 0:35:32.480
<v Speaker 7>Me?

0:35:32.600 --> 0:35:34.799
<v Speaker 2>Josh and Andrew. If all three of us partake in something,

0:35:34.800 --> 0:35:35.960
<v Speaker 2>are you just gonna be our babysitter?

0:35:36.920 --> 0:35:39.000
<v Speaker 3>No, I'm gonna do what I did when you and

0:35:39.000 --> 0:35:43.480
<v Speaker 3>Andrew were looking at the stars and I got up

0:35:43.520 --> 0:35:46.520
<v Speaker 3>and I left. Absolutely, I'm leaving. I'm done.

0:35:46.640 --> 0:35:48.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So the last off the grid trip we took.

0:35:48.880 --> 0:35:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Andrew and I were sitting outside where we high yeah

0:35:52.560 --> 0:35:55.000
<v Speaker 2>it might have been Yeah, in this one park there

0:35:55.040 --> 0:35:57.960
<v Speaker 2>were no lights and the stars were everywhere. There were

0:35:57.960 --> 0:36:00.680
<v Speaker 2>shooting stars. Diamond had never seen one so cool. But

0:36:00.800 --> 0:36:02.359
<v Speaker 2>we're all laying on a rock. It was like Pride

0:36:02.440 --> 0:36:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Rock from the Lion King. We're laying on a rock

0:36:04.719 --> 0:36:06.600
<v Speaker 2>looking up at the sky, and Diamond all of a

0:36:06.600 --> 0:36:08.920
<v Speaker 2>sudden was like, oh, there are bugs.

0:36:08.920 --> 0:36:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm out. And she got up and left and she.

0:36:10.920 --> 0:36:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Had to do a little walk through like woods by herself.

0:36:14.000 --> 0:36:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I was very impressive. You actually did it in the

0:36:15.920 --> 0:36:16.680
<v Speaker 1>dark by yourself.

0:36:17.120 --> 0:36:17.600
<v Speaker 3>Out of there.

0:36:17.680 --> 0:36:19.600
<v Speaker 2>She did not want those bugs around her. And I

0:36:19.640 --> 0:36:21.640
<v Speaker 2>gotta be honest. When we walked back in, there was

0:36:21.680 --> 0:36:25.320
<v Speaker 2>a giant one on me, and I said what I said, Andrew,

0:36:25.320 --> 0:36:26.960
<v Speaker 2>don't tell Diamond that you had to get that bug on.

0:36:27.239 --> 0:36:31.799
<v Speaker 1>You never told me this. It's been like three years. Oh,

0:36:31.840 --> 0:36:34.480
<v Speaker 1>you were right, you were right. Those bugs were terrible.

0:36:34.920 --> 0:36:37.120
<v Speaker 2>All that to say, we still have a lot of questions.

0:36:37.200 --> 0:36:39.200
<v Speaker 2>It's good that they're gonna try and make this change.

0:36:39.200 --> 0:36:42.560
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully it will make some significant change. Who's to say

0:36:44.040 --> 0:36:45.840
<v Speaker 2>we already burned Andrew in the burn book.

0:36:45.640 --> 0:36:47.759
<v Speaker 3>Early, Oh, because I have another one.

0:36:47.800 --> 0:36:49.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh you want to burn Andrew? You want to burn

0:36:49.040 --> 0:36:49.399
<v Speaker 2>someone else?

0:36:49.440 --> 0:36:52.520
<v Speaker 3>Someone else? Okay, Aaron Rodgers, you're on my fucking list.

0:36:52.560 --> 0:36:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:36:54.680 --> 0:36:56.799
<v Speaker 3>You know, I really hope that the Jets have a

0:36:56.800 --> 0:37:01.200
<v Speaker 3>good season. But I think that as Americas, we should

0:37:01.320 --> 0:37:04.440
<v Speaker 3>take our platforms more seriously. And I think that he

0:37:04.560 --> 0:37:07.920
<v Speaker 3>trolls a lot. And I know that he's insane in

0:37:07.960 --> 0:37:11.520
<v Speaker 3>the membrane, right, but you know, like I mean for

0:37:11.600 --> 0:37:13.200
<v Speaker 3>you too. Did you see do you know what I'm

0:37:13.200 --> 0:37:13.759
<v Speaker 3>talking I do?

0:37:14.000 --> 0:37:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, what you're talking about?

0:37:15.680 --> 0:37:18.800
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So over the weekend this past week, last weekend,

0:37:19.120 --> 0:37:24.719
<v Speaker 3>Aaron Rodgers went to a UFC fight, and there's footage

0:37:25.120 --> 0:37:30.240
<v Speaker 3>of Trump, President Trump, former President Trump, the convict walking

0:37:30.400 --> 0:37:33.400
<v Speaker 3>past Aaron Rodgers, and he does nothing. He sees that

0:37:33.440 --> 0:37:36.360
<v Speaker 3>he's walking past him. He doesn't look entertained or anything

0:37:36.440 --> 0:37:40.839
<v Speaker 3>like that. And then he posts on his Instagram hours later,

0:37:40.920 --> 0:37:44.360
<v Speaker 3>maybe a day later, a photo of them shaking hands

0:37:44.360 --> 0:37:46.279
<v Speaker 3>and he's like so happy about.

0:37:45.960 --> 0:37:47.960
<v Speaker 1>It, And to me, I think he's trolling.

0:37:48.440 --> 0:37:51.400
<v Speaker 3>I don't take anything that he does outside of football seriously,

0:37:51.719 --> 0:37:53.239
<v Speaker 3>and I think that he should take his platform a

0:37:53.280 --> 0:37:54.960
<v Speaker 3>little bit more serious.

0:37:54.400 --> 0:37:55.799
<v Speaker 1>Ce is real.

0:37:56.000 --> 0:37:58.359
<v Speaker 2>We should really be thinking about this and wondering if

0:37:58.480 --> 0:37:59.719
<v Speaker 2>if any of that has to do it. Say with

0:37:59.719 --> 0:38:03.839
<v Speaker 2>all the when they act like Ryan Garcia, Obviously there's

0:38:03.840 --> 0:38:05.960
<v Speaker 2>some other stuff happening with him, but I'm like, these

0:38:05.960 --> 0:38:07.640
<v Speaker 2>people are getting hit in the head all the time.

0:38:08.280 --> 0:38:10.600
<v Speaker 2>We need to worry about them. Okay, Aaron Rodgers, you're

0:38:10.600 --> 0:38:12.759
<v Speaker 2>in the burn book too. I don't even have my

0:38:12.800 --> 0:38:14.440
<v Speaker 2>phone open or do ask me anything. Just like the

0:38:14.480 --> 0:38:15.400
<v Speaker 2>third week, we've skipped it.

0:38:15.440 --> 0:38:15.839
<v Speaker 3>I like it.

0:38:16.680 --> 0:38:19.479
<v Speaker 2>We'll be back, but dm me on Instagram at Baby

0:38:19.480 --> 0:38:22.600
