00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: Dave Cohen, I mean another lawyer buddy that you look

00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,520

46
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: eight year old friendships? That's kind of weird. I don't

47
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: got any eight year old friend, Sheldon that we're both

48
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: the only thing I have in common with an eight

49
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: year old friend is that we've both been to jail.

50
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 2: You know what we used to do at eight years old.

51
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: We played with hot wheels and listened to Bill Cosby

52
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 2: comedy records.

53
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: Those are some good ones. I like the Bill Cosby,

54
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: but the Eddie Murphy and the Richard.

55
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: Proter just a little better. We were devastated, and we

56
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: know we're going.

57
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: To get through some stories about you guys and how

58
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: you grew up. So Dave, I definitely want you to

59
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: get to thinking about when Mark got the acting bug.

60
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: But today, Mark, you're such a great friend of mine.

61
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: You're a business partner, you're a brother. You've been a writer,

62
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: you're an actor. You've been a dancer, a filmmaker, a stripper,

63
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: a tea bagger. I mean, Mark Washerman is a renaissance man,

64
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: is evidenced by his extensive array of experiences and diverse

65
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: influences on his style. I mean, look at the way

66
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: he dresses for God's sakes. He attended Whitney High School

67
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: out there in beautiful California, and of course that was

68
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: one of the highest ranking high schools in the country. Now,

69
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: the subject of the best selling book School of Dreams.

70
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: Well that was Mark right there, with his own dreams

71
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: of becoming to what an actor a filmmaker. Well Mark

72
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: did that, and not only did he do more than that,

73
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: he was the president of his high school drama club

74
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: and so much else. You've known him as a host

75
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: on Cannabis Talk one oh one with his brother with

76
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: the whole stf you. Well, we're gonna STFU about that

77
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: and talk about the acting, not debut. But my friend,

78
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: I'm so proud that Dave, you didn't produce this, But

79
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: I thought you did, you bastard. When you came in here,

80
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: I thought you were the producer of this. But our

81
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: other good friend that is not here today produced you,

82
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: Mark and made you look so terribly great because I

83
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: believe this character and the character's name is Herbie.

84
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: No Bill Morgan, Herbie's the plant.

85
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: Sorry, you're right, I apologize year to God. I did,

86
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: and now that we talked about it intently, and you

87
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: know I did. But you're right the movies called Herbie

88
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: and Mark. You did a remarkable job, right, Like, how

89
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: did you like really come up with something going? You

90
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: did some work on this, I did about the character

91
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: and how much work you had to do to find

92
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: this character.

93
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: Well, so, so first I got a shout out as

94
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,799
Speaker 2: you were mentioning my very very good friend Ford Austin,

95
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: who produced this movie and in fact he was the

96
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 2: actor playing the homeless Vet. They shot about a week's

97
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: worth of it, and he stopped production and told the

98
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,119
Speaker 2: other producers that he thought this film which centers around

99
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 2: a homeless vet who's at the end of his rope

100
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: and finds a broken down cannabis plant and nurtures that

101
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 2: plant back to life, and that cannabis then helps him survive,

102
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: and we know the problem with with with vets and

103
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 2: their access to cannabis and all that stuff. And he

104
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 2: told these producers, I got a friend. He's you know,

105
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: he's part of the pop Brothers of Law and he

106
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: does he's all into this movement. But he's a great actor,

107
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 2: and I think he should do this. And so I

108
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: did a little screen test and they hired me, and

109
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 2: I spent about four months really researching and talking to

110
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 2: I already knew a bunch of homeless vets, and we've

111
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: we've known vets in the industry from the weed to

112
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 2: weed for warriors and and so on and so forth.

113
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: That I was able to, you know, have serious discussions

114
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 2: about how they need to or want to access cannabis

115
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: and they're being forced with the opiates and the other

116
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: pills and all that stuff. So so that part of

117
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: it was was kind of easy talking to people that

118
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: I knew and and interviewing different different vets. And then

119
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 2: when it comes to building the character, I really you

120
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 2: go from the inside out, because what's inside is more

121
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 2: important than the esthetics of the outside, which which is

122
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 2: important and can be done with makeup and all sorts

123
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: of things. But I didn't I don't believe in that.

124
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 2: I believe in going in and becoming the character, growing

125
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 2: my hair out, growing a becoming a pain in the

126
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 2: ass at my house for my wife and kids to

127
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: live with. As I'm drowning in this character of a

128
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 2: homeless vet and bringing it home every day. And you know,

129
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 2: when you look at yourself in the mirror after two

130
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: or three months and you've grown a beard and your

131
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: hair's grown out, and you know, you don't shower every day,

132
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 2: and you do those the little things, you become this

133
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 2: other person, you know, as an actor. And and I

134
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: do incorporate some of some method acting and in the

135
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: things that I do when I prepare for a character.

136
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 2: But I think it's it's important so that the audience

137
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 2: can get in touch with who this character is. And

138
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 2: and I took it very serious because of what the

139
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 2: movie was trying to say, and it's exploration into the

140
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: problem that we have in this country and the way

141
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 2: they treat vets and the way they really don't care

142
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 2: about their medical treatment and want to force all the

143
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: opiates and all that stuff which we know is not working,

144
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: and being able to access cannabis and showing you know

145
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 2: how it can help that. It just it just took

146
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 2: over when I decided to do it, and it was

147
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: a wonderful experience.

148
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: Ford Austin produced a wonderful film because, like I said,

149
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: watching you, you got so deep into the character. I

150
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: tripped out on how well you cry, how much you

151
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: show emotions, and it's just overwhelming to watch a friend

152
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: of yours do so well. I mean, you just you

153
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: always think you could do something good, and we always

154
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: joke with each other. But when we see each other's

155
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: craft and then you win an award, like talk about

156
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: the award you wont well.

157
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 2: So so let me let me let me throw out

158

166
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: at other film festivals that it's being submitted to. So

167
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: when you get that kind of recognition even at small

168
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 2: film festival wherever it is, and people sending messages, especially vets,

169
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 2: oh wow that was you know that was I relate

170
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 2: to that. I know somebody who went through that. I

171
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: went through that. And when we were filming this thing,

172
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 2: part of it was filmed right in downtown Oklahoma City

173
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 2: and we had drones going over taking shots, and the

174
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 2: director would say, okay, just you know, go and I

175
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 2: would walk in the middle of downtown and I was

176
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 2: in character, and people gave me money, people turned away

177
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 2: from me. A little girl asked her mom, can we

178
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: give this man a few bucks? Because I had a

179
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: little you know, ten that I was, you know, holding out,

180
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 2: and and but there were plenty of people who you know,

181
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 2: just were scared, Wow, take one look at you like, what,

182
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 2: well we better, we better avoid this person, you know.

183
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 2: And all the money that I collected, I would I

184
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 2: ended up giving to other homeless people that were out there.

185
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 2: And so we we we shot some of that stuff

186
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 2: just like in real time, uh, just me going out

187
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 2: and and interacting with real, real people. And that was

188
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 2: that was a great experience to learn that. You know,

189
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 2: it's just it's sad. It's sad because there's people dealing

190
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 2: with that and you never know from one person to

191
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: the next how they're gonna react, and they're either gonna

192
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 2: treat you like a person or or some kind of animal. Actually,

193
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 2: So you know, that's what I got to you know, that's.

194
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 1: A real issue here too, Mark, and that we all

195
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: face and see which is the epidemic of what their

196
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: veterans have to go through, whether it be the you know, pills,

197
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: the harder drugs, and seeing you play a character like that,

198
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: it just breaks my heart that some people won't get help,

199
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: can't get help, I mean playing that role, Mark, what

200
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: do you see differently?

201
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 2: Gotcha? Well, when you're dealing with like my character dealt

202
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 2: with getting beat up by vagrants and thrown in a dumpster, right,

203
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 2: and that's that's pretty much how it starts. And he's

204
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 2: he's in a dumpster, trash, just covered in ship and

205
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 2: it's like that's the how how much lower can you get?

206
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 2: And knowing that you know that's there, there are people

207
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 2: out there that that's what they're dealing with. You know,

208
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 2: it's a it's a hard truth and it was very

209
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 2: it was uncomfortable for me, you know, acting right, you're

210
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: you're acting, you're you know, as actors we say, you know,

211
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 2: we're playing. We're in the playground where we're getting to

212
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 2: do all this stuff and get in touch with emotions

213
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 2: that that that other people have to deal with. And

214
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 2: that particular scene when I was in the dumpster, I

215
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 2: was ultimately thinking about my family and like Wow, what

216
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: if something happened in my life and this this is

217
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 2: where I ended up for what? No, you know, through

218
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 2: no fault of my own, because it's it's not that

219
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 2: person's fault. A lot of time. I mean, of course,

220
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 2: there there are people who who make choices and and

221
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 2: and make bad decisions. But but there are people that

222
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: through no fault of their own and whatever life threw

223
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 2: at them, especially Vets who went to war and did

224
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,359
Speaker 2: unspeakable things and then they don't get taken care of afterwards.

225
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's it really opened my eyes to

226
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: what those people have to deal with, and it's sad.

227
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's really tough too, you know, because yeah, we

228
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 3: see it all time, especially in Vegas around the world,

229
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 3: in l A too, Cali. You know, thousands of people

230
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 3: just left on the street and like you know, just.

231
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 4: One dollar, a penny, a quarter, anything, and then people

232
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 4: just keep on walking.

233
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 3: You're like, no, literally, I just need anything, Like they

234
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: just keep on walking, like no, but I really need this,

235
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 3: you guys. And some people just don't give a shit, you.

236
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,120

237
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 2: this to yourself, are you just gonna buy drugs with it?

238
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 4: You know that's what I'm actually hungry.

239
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 1: You know, it's a tough call either way. You played

240
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: a tough role right there, Marking, And I think it's

241
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,520

284
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: In my office.

285
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 2: And you interviewed them. We interviewed them.

286
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: We have that such a good time with that man.

287
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: We digress.

288
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: So I gotta ask you, Dave, what's a good story

289
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: about our good old friend Mark Washerman where he was

290
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: acting and did something funny as a kid, or just

291
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: a good embarrassing morderline story, Because for me, I get

292
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: the off limits because he knows that I can't bring

293
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: up ship that's like to the off limits. But lord knows,

294
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: we all know some things on Mark that can still

295
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: take it to the limit. So now that we're talking

296
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: about him as his acting career, and you know, as

297
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: now we get to embarrass the actor. So Dave Man,

298
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: I just have at it.

299
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 4: It was like before twenties or after.

300
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 5: You know, that's so many things are rolling around. I

301
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 5: just it's hard to well, here's one story. So this

302
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 5: is we were not kids that we had. We had

303
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 5: almost kind of grown up. Well Mark never really grows up,

304
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 5: but we had kind of we had graduated law school

305
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 5: and we you know, we were kind of trying to

306
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 5: find our way, and so we had a place we said, hey,

307
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 5: why don't we get a place together and we would

308
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 5: Our favorite thing was to throw parties and have whoever.

309
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 4: We could get over there guys.

310
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 5: And so we had a small get together one night

311
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 5: and there was some random girls from the local community.

312
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 4: College where we were going, and they were there, and so,

313
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 4: you know, this is way back.

314
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 5: We were in our twenties, I guess maybe our late

315
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 5: late twenties, and you know, so everybody's making out with everybody,

316
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 5: and so these girls that Mark wants to make out with,

317
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 5: by the way, let me just prefice girls.

318
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 4: This is way before he met his wife.

319
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 2: Jes.

320
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 5: So we're we're just kind of sitting around and drinking

321
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 5: and got the music on and and girls are making out,

322
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 5: and the girls are this and that and these girls.

323
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 5: This one girl says to Mark, says, I will make

324
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 5: out with you if you make out with Dave.

325
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 4: Okay, so.

326
00:18:58,400 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 2: I know Mark, so I wouldn't.

327
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 5: I've never seen a guy jump up so fast and

328
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 5: make a beeline for his best friend. And he gets

329
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 5: his face into my face. Fortunately, my arms were long

330
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 5: enough to go round his head and put my palm

331
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 5: on his mouth right before he tries to go.

332
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 4: Make out with me. So he's making.

333
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 5: So I get his tongue in the palm of my hand,

334
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 5: and the girls are behind him. No, that doesn't count.

335
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 4: That doesn't count.

336
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 5: And I finally I was able to push him off

337
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 5: and it didn't happen. He was so excited about making

338
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 5: out with me so that he could and it wasn't me.

339
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I did both the girls.

340
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 4: I don't know what. That's the old school magic. Try

341
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 4: boy boy.

342
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 5: He excited about making out with me for just a chance,

343
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 5: because you know they were wine.

344
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 4: But just the chance that there was possibility.

345
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 2: It was worth it.

346
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 5: But I will say that that is that was his

347
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 5: m O. I mean, and he just wanted her to Yeah,

348
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 5: he just wanted to get in on the action.

349
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mark, I love that you just get to finally

350
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: shine in the acting realm, right, because you get so

351
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: much court, you get so many people talking to you

352
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: about yeah s GF you ba ba ba bah bah.

353
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 1: And now to sit here and say you're being recognized

354
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: for a character storring, Mark Washerman, your name is right

355
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: there in letters behind mister Sheldon. And I look at

356
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: that and I go not only a Sheldon on Cannabis

357
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: talk one on one the iHeart Studios in Vegas. But Mark,

358
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: your serious IMDV is growing?

359
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 2: Brother, Yes, yes, And you know I haven't looked at that.

360
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 2: It's it's been a couple of years now since uh

361
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 2: since I shot that, and uh.

362
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 5: You know, can I just say I'm gonna I'm gonna

363
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 5: jump in on his acting in that in that role.

364
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 5: It's hard for me, uh to look at my friend

365
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 5: Mark and see him as these characters because he plays

366
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 5: because you know, he's my friend, I know him, you know,

367
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 5: And this is one of those roles where I was

368
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 5: watching him, especially in that dumpster scene, and I'm saying, wow,

369
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 5: I'm I kind of forgot that he was. I just

370
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 5: saw the character and it's not the first time, but

371
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 5: that was really the best time.

372
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 4: Honestly, doesn't look like you at all. You would never

373
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 4: even know.

374
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 2: I love it that I've I've done a lot of

375
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 2: movies where I've been accused of that's not you.

376
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 4: But your plant looks like right on that.

377
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: Plan.

378
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that was real. They had a couple of

379
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 2: They had a couple of them on set from day

380
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 2: to day.

381
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 5: So sorry, I just want to say one more thing

382
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 5: on that. A lot of times the characters, because you know,

383
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 5: we write a lot of our own stuff, and you know,

384
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 5: he he writes characters and so do I that kind

385
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 5: of fit his own personality, and so he oftentimes find

386
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 5: that he's kind of playing himself. But this, not in

387
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 5: this one, not in Herbie, This was a complete departure, and.

388
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: I would agree mark this right here was something that

389
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: is completely out of your box to where I mean,

390
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: you're used to being on the fucking whatever show from

391
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: MTV that you that was the big win, and you

392
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 1: play yourself more than you play a real character, right.

393
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, you've gained some weight and played a

394
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 1: character here and there.

395
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 2: But that was an attorney. It was exactly what in

396
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 2: the in the other movies. So on Amazon you can

397
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 2: find a movie called Commute, which is a comedy when

398
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 2: there is no fast lane. And God in that movie

399
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 2: is played by Tom Sizemore. Wow, thank you. We rest

400
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 2: in peace, Tom Sizemore, we got him. That's a whole

401
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 2: other that's a whole other story that maybe we'll talk

402
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 2: about in a minute. When we were shooting Tom Sizemore

403
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 2: and Commute, but I play an attorney who's driving from

404
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 2: Orange County to LA and it's like ninety percent of

405
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 2: the movies in the car. And then we did a

406
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 2: movie called Falling Down Again playing an attorney who causes

407
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 2: the death of his young son, and that was the movie.

408
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 2: I gained fifty pounds and lost it for this stuff.

409
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 2: But I was playing attorneys. I wrote those movies, and

410
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 2: as Dave said, when I write stuff, I'm drawing from

411
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,959
Speaker 2: my own experience. You know. One of the first films

412
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 2: we worked on, in the first play that we ever did,

413
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 2: called Terminal, was about a guy who was dying of

414
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 2: a terminal disease. I had meningitis when I was eighteen

415
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 2: and almost died from it, and I wrote about my

416
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 2: experience and like what, you know, I'm going to die.

417
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 2: I want to do these ten different things. And so,

418
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 2: like you said, a lot of what I write is

419
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 2: drawing from my own personal experiences. But this but Herbie

420
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 2: written by somebody else. You know, I'm not a homeless fan.

421
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 2: I've you know, never experienced.

422
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: Any of that.

423
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 2: So being able to dive into the exploration of a

424
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 2: character like that was really gratifying for me.

425
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: How do you think cannabis played a part in all this?

426
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you carried a plant as part of the movie.

427
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: I get that part, But talk about the other elements

428
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 1: of it for yourself in personal.

429
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 2: Well so, so, you know, for the character being able

430
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 2: to grow his own medicine and use it for all

431
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 2: the medicinal purposes, that was just something very important that

432
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 2: needed to need it to be portrayed like a personal relationship, absolutely,

433
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 2: you know. And and in between takes, as I'm smoking

434
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 2: joints and vapes and needing edibles, it was just perfect

435
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 2: environment for me, you know, because I need my meds

436
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 2: for my own reasons and to get me through. You know,

437
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 2: a couple of times, what the direction are you mean? Okay?

438
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 2: Are you okay? You can be able to Yeah, go

439
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 2: say action, Let's go. You know it doesn't I'm not

440
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 2: getting I think I've said this to you before, Joe,

441
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 2: and you've probably been there on occasion. I think I'm stoned.

442
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 2: You know how many times have you heard me say that?

443
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 2: And after like what you know, eighty two hours of

444
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 2: eighty two hours of going and doing what we're doing

445
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 2: and smoking and do this.

446
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: A couple I've never heard showed them.

447
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, because not we're medicating. We're medicating where you know,

448
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 2: if I wasn't medicating right now, I'd be bouncing off

449
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 2: the walls. You know, we need it for our own,

450
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 2: our own reasons.

451
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: So it's funny because the way I see you use it, Mark,

452
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: and then the way I see you use it, Sheldon,

453
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: or like like you're an extensive, excessive like every other

454
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 1: minute second, Mark Washerman needs it. You, on the other hand,

455
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: prefer a nice bong rip. You're in there sporadically a

456
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: joint maybe, yeah, but you're not a I need to

457
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: smoke all the time, but you do need to smoke, but.

458
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 4: Not need you wear exactly.

459
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 3: I used to have to smoke like every two seconds,

460
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 3: but then you get to a point. I took like

461
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 3: a month off from smoking and drinking, and whenever I

462
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 3: came back, I was like, you know what, I don't

463
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 3: have to smoke all day long. I'm just gonna do

464
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 3: a bong rip chill for like thirty minutes an hour

465
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 3: or so, and I'll just take another one. And dude,

466
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 3: it's crazy with how much I've cut back on smoking

467
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 3: from when I used to, say, back in my high

468
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 3: school or college, you know, right, but it actually feels

469
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 3: a lot better, Not like say blunt, it's all the

470
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 3: tobacco and then taking a break and actually just doing

471
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 3: glass or a joint feels so much better.

472
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 4: Bro, it really does.

473
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: Mark.

474
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 4: What do you do more of?

475
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 2: Well, so for me, it's all about time. What when

476
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 2: do I have time to do it? What do I

477
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 2: What am I doing from one day? You know, I

478
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 2: could go a whole day and I haven't smoked anything,

479
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 2: just because I'm at the gym in the morning with

480
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 2: my son, and then I gotta go to court all

481
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: day and then now I'm picking them up and doing basketball.

482
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 2: So it's you know, in between all that, if I

483
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 2: can if I can get a dab in, if I

484
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 2: can stick my vape in there and get a hit. Great.

485
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 2: When I go away like this on a trip, I'm out,

486
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 2: I'm smoking. I'm smoking NonStop. Yeah, you know, we do

487
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 2: those conventions. You know, we're gonna be back out here

488
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 2: for Champs in July. I will be on the floor,

489
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 2: We'll be out side in the smoking area. I'll be smoking,

490
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 2: you know, all day, every day, you know. So it's

491
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 2: it's for me. If it's it's the the opportunity. If

492
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 2: I have the opportunity, I will chain smoke.

493
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

494
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 2: But if I don't, then you know, it doesn't ruin

495
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 2: my day. I'm not I'm not tweaking out or or

496
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 2: or freaking out because it's like no, and I realized,

497
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 2: oh jeez, it's like I've been through the whole day.

498
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 2: I haven't even had yet. Now I'll go get one

499
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 2: or you know, I'll throw some edibles and stuff like that.

500
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 2: So it's it's for me. It's more about when am

501
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 2: I able to and what's accessible.

502
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 4: And are perfect for that. Yeah, you're just on the road.

503
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 3: You don't only have time, you know, it's even at

504
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 3: a concert, you can't really twist one up or just smow.

505
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 4: It's not allowed. But just a little vape or edible

506
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 4: it everywhere.

507
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: I think a lot of shows now too, they're just

508
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: gotta be so it's got to be so much better

509
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: for people to be like, oh my god, I could

510
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: just hit this babe, pan, I don't have to smoke

511
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: a joint.

512
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 2: We was talking about the Snoop Dogg show. We did,

513
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 2: you know, we did that? So it was at the

514
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 2: It was at Kevin Hart's studio out in wherever that

515
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 2: was in the valley, And we got a whole email

516
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 2: with rules when you get on studio, no smoking pot

517
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 2: no like there was you know in the trailer you

518
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 2: can't smoke there. And our trailer was right next to

519
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 2: Snoop's trailer, right, And we get there and they're walking

520
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 2: us into the trailer and I smell it and I'm like,

521
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 2: how can And I've got the print out and I

522
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 2: go this says we can't smoke and we're get in

523
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 2: trouble and it says all this stuff. And the assistant

524
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 2: director who was walking us out, he goes, oh, I

525
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 2: don't worry about that, right, yuys, you're okay, all right, cool,

526
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 2: And so we were we were in our trailers smoking

527
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 2: up a storm while Snoop was in the trailer next

528
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 2: door smoking up. So it's just all who are you

529
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 2: with and who's calling the shots?

530
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know, Mark, I think it's appropriate for

531
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: you to show off and for to Michael's Sheldon and

532
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: of course your buddy Dave, who have you been knowing

533
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: since you've been eight years old. But your slam poem,

534
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I know we're not talking about the pop

535
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: brothers at law, but you've done some stuff that has

536
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: really shined. And let your brother write off your coattails, right,

537
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: because as he thinks it's the dumbest thing ever, there's

538
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: something there that debuts your acting fucking skills that are

539
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: just phenomenal, and you're writing skills that are awesome.

540
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 5: Well, let me jump in for a second, because yes,

541
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 5: his ability to write poetry, it's amazing to me. And

542
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 5: he comes up with it like almost instantly, it just

543
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 5: comes out.

544
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: He's wrote me several love letters.

545
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 5: He's able to, you know, rattle off this slam poem

546
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 5: about at cannabis.

547
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 4: But let me tell you, as far as acting goes,

548
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 4: he was able to memorize.

549
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 5: Go ahead, I mean, well, I mean the raven oh,

550
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 5: and so.

551
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 2: You watch that's the Edgar Allan Poe nineteen stands up poem.

552
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 5: Absolutely memorized to the letter. And he sent me videos

553
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:26,959
Speaker 5: of it, and I would watch, you know, I would say,

554
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 5: give him, no, it's here and there, you know, just

555
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 5: pronunciations and stuff. I was auditioning to play, auditioning to

556
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 5: pay right, and so he sends me this stuff and

557
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 5: I'm watching it as he's sending me video after video

558
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 5: after video, and I see the improvement and I see

559
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 5: him evolving into Edgar Allen Poe the person as he's

560
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 5: reciting this poem. So when you talk about acting, so

561
00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 5: the acting when he's reciting a poem that he's written,

562
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 5: especially about cannabis, I mean, that's just it just flows.

563
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 5: It just flows because he believes it. But the acting

564
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 5: part comes from when he does something else like Edgar

565
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 5: Allan Poe.

566
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 4: And that's not easy.

567
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 2: Uh.

568
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 4: You see where the talent is.

569
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: And I've seen where the talent is as well. The

570
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: way you've learned to become a radio host, the way

571
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: you learn to do.

572
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 2: So many things I learned from the best.

573
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: Yes, you have and I just want you to share

574
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: with all of us and those that are watching. Give

575
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: us the acting style in Las Vegas slam poem.

576
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 2: You're putting me on. I don't even know the last

577
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 2: time I've done this exactly. I mean, see if I

578
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 2: still remember it.

579
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: Let's come on there we go, get ready? Yeah, give

580
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: it to us.

581
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 2: What's the name with the camera?

582
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's called I think it's.

583
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 2: Called them my being detained in my free to Go?

584
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, that's the name of it. Is this

585
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 2: my camera right here?

586
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: All right?

587
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 2: All right, all right? This is uh am I being detained?

588
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 2: Or am I Free to go? A slam poem by

589
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 2: the pop brothers at law? They're written by me. No

590
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 2: Am I being detained? Or am I free to go?

591
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 2: This is what to say, my lawyer tells me. So

592
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 2: the cops are out there doing a job. Sometimes they

593
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 2: must contain a mob, a thankless job that saves many

594
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 2: lives at their home or worried children, husbands and wives.

595
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 2: But does that give them the right to stomp on

596
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 2: my rights? So we are here for you, the cannabis community,

597
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 2: to fight to let you know what's okay to just

598
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 2: shut the fuck up. When cops ask questions, you start with,

599
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 2: I'm not discussing my day, end with I invoke the fifties.

600
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 2: Ain't suggestions. These are words to live by, to memorize. See,

601
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 2: it's not about the size of that CoP's gun, because

602
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 2: they want you to run so they could pull that

603
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 2: macho gun and shoot you for fleeing the scene. Some

604
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,239
Speaker 2: cops are just plaining, mean, we must shut it off,

605
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 2: shut it down. Those feelings of anger that instantly come

606
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 2: around when that cop has to show his power and

607
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 2: his might without cause, without reason, and we know they're

608
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 2: not right. We must remain calm, keep the devil sleeping

609
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,240
Speaker 2: on the left shoulder. We must be cold, even colder.

610
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 2: Ice must float through your veins to shut that heat,

611
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 2: the blood that rushed your brain straight from your feet.

612
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 2: When that cop disrespected you cause you wouldn't tell him

613
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 2: what that smell was, and he excuses you of a

614
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 2: pot toui because he absolutely knows that you buzz. But see,

615
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 2: they can't tell, and they don't know only if you

616
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 2: tell them. So o, officer, I expoke to join a

617
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 2: few hours ago. Officer, here's my medical wreck. Officer. I'm

618
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 2: a marijuana patient. We live in America prohibition still exists.

619
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 2: That CoP's gonna do whatever he's gonna do. Fifty to

620
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,720
Speaker 2: fifty he arrests. You give us a chance to represent

621
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,080
