You do have to get through that mental breakthrough of having to use it every day, though, because it works longer than one day. It's an amazing thing. In fact, Sweatblock has heard from others that have been using it for a while now. One particular soccer player heard about Sweatblock thought it was too good to be true. Aha. When he was always the wettest guy after practice in games. So he thought he'd give sweat block a shot.

Tried it in his pits. Next practice, pits are dry. Everything else, wet. I guess he should have used it every place. You know, in all the other parts. You know what I'm saying. He says he didn't have to reapply it for nine days.

They tell you seven. He's a true believer. And I'm becoming one. So stop excessive sweat for up to seven days per use. Doctor created, doctor recommended. Dry shirt guarantee. If sweat block doesn't keep you dry,

I was reading last night about how it got started. And this group, this high school group, called the Waldoz. All right, they used to hang out on a wall outside their high school because they were the nerds, I guess,

and they would hang out. That's where they would smoke and make fun of the jocks and everything. So they would go on what they called safaris. And they would just, you know, trek to different places around the city. And one time they decided to go on a safari to find another patch of weed. They needed more. They needed more. So they said, hey, we'll meet at 420.

And they smoked all the pot they had. And they talked about how back in the day, this was, you know, in the 70s. So they were smoking Acapulco gold, Panama Red. And always a good day when you could get your hands on that. That's what my grandfather said. Yeah, back in the 70s. Anyway, so they met at 420 and got stoned and they found, you know, they were out doing one of their safaris. And then it just happened that, okay, well, we'll just meet at 420.

And so then any time they would meet, they would just call it 420. And that's how it got hooked. That's the story. That's the myth behind 420. And now we have celebrations all over the country. I wasn't kidding about the celebration in Denver where they're saying, oh, you have an ID, 21 or older now. We're not letting just anyone in here.

Okay. Good for you. Thank you. No problem. But anyway, happy 420. I've never wanted to. I should let me rephrase that. I have wanted to get high.

all day today. It has been so long since I have actually smoked marijuana. I mean, obviously, I'm not admitting to a crime. But it's been a long time. I mean, they talk about meeting their friends.

I still have a date with a one friend of mine who we had a deal, like the safari group, the 420s, you know, they get together and that's what they do. And one friend of mine always had a deal if I call you on a Sunday morning. there's you can't say no if we call one another on a Sunday morning you can't say no and we would get hammered yes oh my gosh you pick up the phone yeah I'll be there in 10 minutes all Sunday morning

so I mean if if John were to call I haven't talked to the man in a long time at least 20 years but if he were to call and say hey, I'd say, well, first, is this a Sunday? And then you better call me back on Sunday. We'll get together. And a second, I'd have to. It's one of the deals we made. Let's fire that boy up again.

Just a reminder, it's all I want. So I was looking at my email today. Got a new monkey alert. I should probably check it out. See what the alerts are. So there's a demand for people to keep an eye on how they transport monkeys to labs and facilities. They want people to be more careful transporting the monkeys. I don't get that.

Okay. A Nashville Zoo has welcomed its first baby Mexican spider monkey. That's what the name of it is. Don't look at me, dude. That's the cutest darn thing. And, oh, man. Really, all of them are worried about all of them, except for the newborn baby.

They're all upset about the movement, the transporting of the monkeys. They're endangering the public and endangering the monkeys. So that's your monkey update from my monkey alerts today. Speaking of animals, dude I'm talking

I was just sitting here kind of you know hanging out 420 and and I see where the people remember we talked about the people who stayed at the Ukrainian zoo because they couldn't get all the animals out and they were staying to take care of the animals

and now the zoo's been getting bombed and they can't find the people that were working at the zoo while they found him they're dead it took a little days to find these people in the zoo man, they were barricaded in some building. Like weird. Why did it take so long? And now they're concerned that all these animals are going to get out.

Most of the structures are still holding up pretty good, but one guy said one more good bombing and these animals are going to be free. I guess, you know what, if I'm a soldier and I see a tiger crossing the street, I'm putting it down. Whether I'm with the Ukrainian army or whether I went to Russian army, I'm putting it down. So I don't think we have to worry about wild animals attacking people. But you never know.

Anyway, that's where I was at. What is happening in Durham, North Carolina? What are you doing? So our guy, Darrell Howard is not really our guy. But my man, Darrell Howard, you know him, you love him. I don't have any idea who he is, really. But he was wrongly convicted of murder in 1995. He spent 24 years in prison.

He's been fighting to free himself since then. He, oh, yep, you know what? We wrongly convict. Get out of here. You're free. So he sues, and they award him $6 million in damages due to the misconduct of one of the detectives then, who fabricated evidence and performed an inadequate investigation.

Okay? So now give the man his money. The city's like, you know what? No. We're not going to pay him. In fact, you know what? We're going to charge him for attorneys, fees and court costs and everything. Well, okay, so let's see.

You spent how much? $4 million on this case? I'd like to see a detailed report of that, first of all. And second of all, okay, then give the money. man is $2 million. Give him something. Nope. Yeah, we don't. Sorry. Yeah, I know

that granted you a pardon and everything, but yeah, we're not going to do that for you. So now he's got to go back and fight for the money. He was duly awarded from a jury. What is happening? You know, you screwed up. It's already been proven that you screwed up. Let's give the man his money.

I mean, this guy's been in prison. He's in prison for 24 years. There's something that you didn't do. actually was innocent. I mean, you're lucky it's only $6 million. It should be, they should be naming, it should be the, this is my man. You know him, you love him, Daryl Howard.

Should be Daryl Howard, North Carolina. Should replace Durham, North Carolina's town. Yeah, that's what it needs to happen. Make that happen. Make that happen. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something to drink desperately. at least give him a boulevard

I mean the guy deserves that just one sign throughout the city so he has multiple signs a road that goes through the city so every street that crosses that road Darrell Howard Boulevard you seem to get that at least

and don't bill them for the street signs so if you're looking for a new gig can you write can you write about your boss related to getting Microsoft internship, and you write about fashion maybe. I don't know. I didn't know this gig existed, but here you go.

CEOs don't have a lot of time. So what they're doing now is hiring people to write stuff to post on LinkedIn. Now, that's a good gig. That's a good gig. This one CEO in the story is paying people $800 per $800. 800 to 1200 word article. A one one guy pays $5,000 monthly to a ghostwriter, just to take care of the writing form on LinkedIn.

Now, you say to yourself, I don't know that I go to LinkedIn an awful lot in my life. Now, it used to be we've done the jokes forever. I mean, if you click LinkedIn for anything, You get emails from LinkedIn from now to eternity, man. It does not matter. But remember we talked back in the end of last year, I think it was, where they talked about how they wanted to re-brand themselves as a content hub.

And then they put like millions of dollars. I mean, it was, I don't think it was 100 million. They're not crazy. But it was 20, 25 million into this fund to attract talent to the site. And they released creator tools. They would have a LinkedIn live and they have the newsletter. I mean, you can go live. That's the platform.

Right. I mean, they just want to become a go-to platform. And I guess they kind of are in the CEO world, right? The CEO world that's having some guy write 1,200 word articles for LinkedIn probably isn't going live on Instagram. Could be wrong? I'm just guessing. It's probably not post doing a Facebook live.

He might be doing a YouTube live though. Possible. But if you could do them both at the same time, do a little LinkedIn live. But if you're looking for a gig, there's one for you. Go out and start writing for LinkedIn CEOs. Just, you know, make sure you can do it without yo, yo, yo, yo. What up? What up?

What up, LinkedIn? That's probably not what you're seeing on LinkedIn live. I am just guessing. And there's plenty of streaming platforms that are, you know, struggling now. I mean, we, you know, Netflix has taken the fall. That's the big story. We've lost $200,000 last quarter. going to lose more.

Okay, well, I mean, yeah. Create some really good content and then make it more viable and stop raising your prices. I mean, the last price hike goes into effect soon, I think. And I forget, I don't know what I'm going to have to check my bill the last time. But the last time I took a raise was from Netflix. I mean, I actually thought about it. Before I'm not worried about it because I have, I don't know how many viewers, you know, whatever, how many people can view it at the same time, like four or five televisions can be watching Netflix at the same time.

And whatever, I want that. But at some point, the price is going to be, no. Are you recording? Yes, that's what the light is on. Is that what that real? Is that what that is? Are we supposed to record today, me and you? Yeah, we should, actually.

We should do a royal service. today. Should we do a Royals today? Chris Cruz, yes, we should. Okay. I've got a list of royal stories from here to tomorrow, man. All right, so this is the teaser?

Yes. Okay. There will be a Royals podcast coming soon to the Chewing the Fat platform. Sorry, I didn't know you were recording. Yeah, whatever. I apologize for that. I freaking hate this guy.

I don't even know why he's in the building anymore. Go Netflix. Yeah, exactly. Now, seriously, the price point is getting to a point where you have to think about it. Right? I mean, seriously, and they're talking about their,

they lost it. Everybody's getting tough on Russia. Russia, Russia, Russia. We can't do that. Netflix pulled out, the 700,000 subscribers in Russia. We don't still care about them. Oh, okay.

All right. Now, not everyone is paying 16 or 19 bucks a month. Right? I mean, you're looking at, you know, having it maybe on your phone. They were talking about in, in India

they were doing just mobile apps for like five bucks a month and so you know they're not still 200 million subscribers given you okay let's say they're giving you a buck a month

okay it doesn't seem like for me 200 million a month would be okay I'd be able to you know 420 a lot

yes at 200 million a month I am 420 and there's no doubt about that man holy cow I can't start thinking about that don't get me back into that mood again so I mean but there's so much

and here's the thing there are I mean we're seeing with CNN plus struggling and I mean anyone with half noodle said to themselves, I don't think that's really going to work. Why are you doing that? And it's been proven right. And their man, the big man that could push it and keep the money flowing, Zucker is gone, right? So he's the only one that really was fighting for CNN and their

belief, and he's long gone. So now they're just going to put it in the mix with the rest of the streaming platforms under their big umbrella and it's just going to go away because they're not creating content than anyone wants to see. And there's more platforms creating content. But the problem is that these platforms are creating really good content, but that's all they have.

So like Netflix at least they create a lot of content that's crap. But they also create a lot of content that's really good. And they get a lot of kind. Don't shake your hand. A lot of their content's

really good. I mean, it'll be waving. He waved that hand someplace else today, mister. Okay, go 420 over there. And don't do, okay, yeah, you can use that hand for that. Just don't use it for the other thing. But, oh, that stuff hit hard. Anyway,

uh, I mean, these platform, at some point, we've got to say, okay, enough. Enough. I mean, I can't afford all of you. So something's going to have to give. I feel like I'm talking to my wife. I have to give in. I know I do.

I know I do. I just don't want to. I just don't want to. I watched a show when I was down. I spent the weekend down in the greater Austin area with my wife's grandchildren. Oof. Anyway, the, it's a fun Easter.

And I mean that. It really was. The, I watched a show that's a Netflix original. about couples. Okay, so there's a guy and a, and he is with, a guy and a girl are together

for, they've been together for a while. And then they break up and he spends time with another woman for a month. And then goes back to the other woman for a month to see if he wants to end up being with her. Yeah, I guess that, and I don't remember the name of it,

but I was watching, I'll find it. That's just some stupid joke, because someone in my family was watching it. Daughter-in-law. And I said, what the hell is this? And so she lays out the framework of the show. And the guy is giving the original girl that he was with the boot.

He's telling her, I got the new chick, and you're out. And I thought, okay, well, I like that. And they both kind of look the same. The new one was a little bit younger. Huh. I wonder how that works. Anyway, I got to find the name of that stupid show. The ultimatum.

Yeah, okay, yeah. And it's the, they have couples. They have multiple couples on the show. And they have to work out a deal so they're going to stay with the one that they're with or they're going to go with the new one. That's a good, that'd be a fun show. I don't know how, I don't know how many shows they have. Oh, we've got to find that. Now I don't have to go to the Netflix site, aren't I?

Hold on. Thanks for Hold on. Your listenership is very important to us. Seriously, thanks for holding. Your listenership is very important to us. We're trying to find out about the ultimatum. Oh, there's my boy right there. Okay, so yeah, I've got the ultimatum.

There's my boy right there. Oh, that is awesome. Well, according to that, I don't know if there's any more than one season, but I can watch all of one season right now, the ultimatum. Get hitched or call it quits? The couples put their love to the test while shacking up with the other potential matches in a provocative reality series. Oh yeah!

I didn't catch that part. I might have stuck around to catch more of the heavens. I mean, the shacking up part had already happened to this couple. And he don't want nothing to do with the old one. The new one is who I'm shacking up with from now on. You baby are out. Okay, have a nice freaking day. I got two tickets to paradise.

No, that was an any money song. I got two tickets to anywhere in the world you want to go with me, baby. That's what he gave her. Nice. You're talking about some serious business then. You start giving chicks on reality shows tickets to anywhere in the world. Oh, yeah. perhaps Netflix should reconsider some of the shows they're spending money on.

That's all I'm saying. It's all I'm saying. Okay, so really all I'm saying is that I have not seen all 10 episodes of the ultimatum, but I watched, okay, so I looked at the episodes, and I see that I actually watched the end of Ultimatum Day, which is episode nine. And so I missed, I got to go back and see the reunion where they get back together and tell each other, no, you still suck.

Man, I hate you. I didn't realize how much I hated you until I went out with this other chick, and she told me, you suck, and she's right. That's going to be awesome. I will never, ever watch that show. But in my head, I've already seen it. It's the matcha, or the three ensemble of Cajara

of the fatt that I just deniches that's the ensemble. The form of standard and mini regrouped, what's the abetable,

and the embellage, too beau, who is practically to do you know, and I know I'd like the summer Fridays and rare beauty by Selena Gomez.

I'm, I'm sure. The most ensemble the gift of the fadowow des new, Ways,

Cepora collection and other part of the time, and many, regrouped for a better quality price,

on line on Cepora. Ormager or in I guess I. Wow, and sad news for the better.com people. Remember the online mortgage company that, you know, was all mad at the guy who fired 900 people over Zoom? They were all pissed at him for doing that. I mean, I guess he was supposed to call everyone and say, sorry, you're being fired. So they did that the next time down the road not long ago.

They let another 1,000 people go. And I guess they called everyone. Hello, hi, Jenny. Yeah, this is your boss or better.com, you're fired. Goodbye. Okay, so I guess that's better than putting you all on a Zoom call

and saying it one time, you're fired. So now they've let more people go. I mean, they're falling apart. They're down, at one point, they had like 10,000 people, and now they're down to, about 5,000.

So, not sure what's happening over at better.com, but maybe the same people are running CNN Plus. I don't know. Could be an issue. Oh, you know another thing that you see? Web scraping. Do you know what web scraping is?

No, no. Don't you dare. No. Oh, yeah. That's web scraping. No. I mean, I can make it that. I can make it that if you play it.

Oh, yeah. I saw your picture on LinkedIn. So LinkedIn as part of the big web scraping contest. All right. So anyway, the Ninth Circuit, which you know them, you love them, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to Great, Great Circuit Court. Actually, they ruled that this is legal, all right? You can archiveists and academics and researchers and journalists,

even people with bad intent are able to scrape things that are on the end. that are accessible to the public. Hello. It seems like a no-nonsense, common-sense kind of thing. If it's out there, why can't I put it together in one site of my own? I can put it all together. I mean, that's what companies were doing.

And LinkedIn actually said, oh, yeah, no, they're scraping personal information from our public profiles. And we can't do that. And they claim that it was a computer fraud. It was illegal because it was a violation of the computer fraud and abuse act. The old CFAA. You pull out the old CFAA.

And you are, you're big guns now. Okay. But the court is like, oh, yeah, no. They could do that. It's information that's accessible to the public. And so they can get whatever they wanted to use from that. Now, I mean, Facebook and Instagram and Parlor and Venmo and Clubhouse have all been part of these lawsuits now because there's several startups that are starting to take stuff from all their sites.

One company talks about The one company Clearview AI claims to have scraped billions of social media profile photos and that's what Facebook and Parlor and Instagram

is what they're so pissed about. You're taking our stuff. Well, you know, it isn't really your stuff. It is, bad, it really isn't because now it's public and the world can see it. And that go takes me back

to, what's the same? face from Google, Eric Schmidt, back in the early 2000s, everybody thought he was crazy when he was talking about, well, in the next generation, you're just going to have to have a new identity. By the time you reach an adult, you're going to need a new identity because all that stuff about you, your whole life is going to be online. And so, you know, unless you don't care and you know, it's, you know, it doesn't matter to you, you're going to need a new identity to go into adulthood.

Well, I mean, old school thinking, yeah. You know, and I think that we saw a little bit of that when you say, well, you can't go back 10 years and look at somebody's tweets and say, oh my God, look at that. I mean, people do evolve and they do change. Yeah, 10 years ago, I thought that guy's in a asshole.

Today, not so much. I think I like him. He's my kind of asshole, okay? I like him today. So, I mean, it's a fine line, I know. But I always, I mean, that's their thing, right? It's always out there. You put something out on the internet.

It's out there. Hello. All the world sees it. And when you start thinking of everything that you've put online, as, you know, once other people are going through it, ooh. And then you think about, well, I didn't put it online, I saved it on my phone.

But you gave like 10 different app companies access to your pictures and your phone. Now that's different, I think. Now we're getting into fraud, right? Because I gave them access to my phone. I got to delete some things too, come to think of it. I gave them access to my phone, so they come in and they pull the stuff from my phone, right?

Okay, so they legally could do that. But, well, probably in their terms of service, that means that they can take it out and blow it onto a Times Square advertisement, which I wouldn't recommend, by the way, those pictures don't need to be seen. But I'm just saying that I probably gave them the right to do anything they want with it.

Damn it! I've got to come up with a new identity. And that's the thing. Right. So, I mean, I'm out there. I mean, my life is there. There's very little that isn't in the public eye. I mean, I talk about my, pour my guts out on this show every day.

Shows are celebrating thousand episodes. I've done eight billion episodes on this stupid network. My old life is on this freaking, All right, I just got to stop now. Okay, I'm going to take a breath. Okay, so we know now that the federal mask mandate is over. And so if you want to wear a mask, if you want to continue to wear your mask, fine. Go ahead.

But the Justice Department has said, hey, we're not going to pursue it unless the CDC says, oh, it's against the science. Okay. So odds are that the Justice Department comes back with, I don't know. I think they're going to get a, you know, it's kind of what's your, finger and put it up in the air and see which way the wind is blowing and the wind is pretty much blowing with the masks off

and it has been for a while. But there are still some places that they're going to make you wear a mask. All right, so, you know, we talked about a little bit about this morning during Pat Grey on Leash. It's Wednesday, chewing the fat day. NYC public transit

taxis and Uber and lift vehicles in New York City. You still have to wear a mask. Come on now. Chicago public transportation, Boston Public Transit, Los Angeles Metro, JFK and LaGuardia

in New York still travelers are required to wear them while boarding. Once you're on the plane, you don't have to. So if I don't wear my mask in the airport, do I get banned from the airport for life? And are the airlines going to take back their banning of the people that didn't wear masks?

I bet they don't. I bet they don't because you were you were breaking the law. You were the law. You were breaking the mandates at the time. And so, I mean, maybe they give them a chance to come back. Maybe. Maybe if they bend the knee before the airline kings and promise to be good and all holy well, let me fly again.

Maybe. Maybe they will. But we'll see. It's really, really bizarre. I never understood the mandates. I mean, I get the whole power thing,

but we're supposed to be able to choose. Make the case. Make the case. If it's good for you, wear the mask. And I'll decide. It's all I ever asked. So I promise I'm not going to make fun

of people wearing masks out loud. And because, I get it, okay? If it makes you feel safe, great. But, come on now. Really? Really?

All right. And we'll see what happens in New York. I mean, come on. Eric, their mayor, Eric Adams. I mean, that guy throws stuff in against the wall, and then somebody gets mad and he takes it away. Like he did with the schools, with the chocolate milk.

You know, he's Mr. Vegan. Mr. Mostly Vegan Diet, mostly vegetarian diet, whatever the hell he talks about. how good he eats. So he's proposed a ban. He's helping schools now with vegetarian alternatives. And he wants to pass laws with vegetarian alternatives.

And he wants to help schools in New York eat better and have better servings for their children. I get it. That's fine. Do I think the kids should be eating Twinkies all day? No. But on the other hand, I'm okay with it if they're,

want to. Okay. You want to send your kid to school with a thousand Twinkies. You go ahead. Let them sell a couple. They'll shut them down at the gate. I've got school shutting people down. But he tried to ban chocolate milk. That was a ban too far. Okay. You could talk about bringing in better choices for the kids. You could talk about eating healthy, living longer, better brain work. Don't you damn touch that chocolate milk, man. No way.

They were pissed. And so Eric was like, okay, you know what? We'll put that to the back burner. Okay. Okay. We'll just let that slide. I'm sorry.

I know I want to replace your dairy with vegan juice and everything, but I won't do that now. Okay, not against your chocolate milk. So if people start getting upset about the mass in New York, he'll pull the plug. It'll be the unmasking of NYC.

And they were hoping to get, you know, over a million bucks for them. And I mean, you can always hope for that. And they're advertising that they got $504,375 for the lunar dust. Yeah, really.

The winning bid was 400,000, but he had fees of over 100,000. Wow. I mean, I guess if you're willing to spend 400,000 for lunar dust, what's another 104,000? All right. Don't try to nickel and dime me. Fine, go ahead and take it.

But I mean, they couldn't even determine the total weight of these things. That's just, it's just dust. and they tried to, you know, size it in microns. I mean, incredible that they're still calling it space dust. But they, NASA says, yeah, that's it. Four of them, yep, we authenticate that. Because they tried to get it back. Remember there was a lawsuit that they tried to get it back and they lost?

They said, no, that's, that belongs to them. Okay, all right. So anyway, they just sold that. I see where they talk about, we have the anniversary of Hubble Telescope this weekend. they released some really cool shots from Hubble on what they're calling the Hickson Compact group, the HCG. And there are these five merging. It's this group of merging galaxies.

It's really cool looking. and they're coming together as one. And it's going to happen, like, I mean, before you know it, it's going to be one big HCG-40 love group. And they kind of think maybe a billion years. Maybe, maybe. And in space time, what's a billion? I mean, nothing.

So they're celebrating the Hubble, and they're giving us cool pictures like that. And then they talk about. about how they're going to one of their next new major missions is going to focus on the study of Uranus. No, no, no, no, stop. Not Uranus, not that Uranus, not that Uranus, not Carmen Lined, no, none of that, although. God. Yeah, you never know.

So $4 billion endeavor that would provide the first close-up view of the so-called ice giant. Okay. I mean, all right. They released a report by the scientific panel generally viewed as the prioritization list for the agency. The mission would launch early next decade. take roughly 13 years to reach its target. So we're going to get out there to Uranus in, I don't know, 15, 20 years. And then Operation Ice Giant.

And we'll see if we can, I don't know, maybe chip some ice off of Uranus. There's so many jokes. And I just let them go. Other priorities include studying the interior ocean of insubes. the latest. Amorph a phallus. It didn't say that on the list, no, but it could be. It definitely could be.

That's a moon of Saturn, and they're going to look for that for signs of life. And they also give me a link here to go to the 780 page report. I'm going to get right on that. Actually, maybe some good reading in there. I may have to delve in to the 780 page report and see if it's worthy of anything. although these are the same people that, you know, they've got the moon rocket. We're going back to the moon.

We'll go back to the moon. Yeah, you know, we were going to have a rehearsal with that and everything, but we're going to have to pull that back in. It needs some repairs. It needs a little bit of work. It's not 100% yet. What? I mean, you've already got it out there.

I mean, that's the same as, yeah, we'd like to launch today, but weather. I mean, I guess I appreciate that they're not going to give it a shot. But, I mean, we don't have a mechanic we can call it to work on it while it's on the pad. We're just going to roll it back in. Yes. Look, we were trying. We were going to get this thing up and running. And, you know, it looks like we're missing a lug nut.

We're missing a bolt. I don't know who did it. I don't know what happened. But we're going to have to fix it. I mean, it sat out there for a month. and they kept trying to test this and test that and then we wanted to have the wet rehearsal where they put in the fuel.

No, don't. No, it wasn't, it wasn't the wet rehearsal. You know, they brought in the fuel and then they kept deciding, hey, yeah, no, there was a couple of glitches and we got a couple of things here. And so, you know what, let's just fix those issues. Let's roll that thing back in here.

I mean, okay, but that's That's not Elon spending money. That's us spending money. Well, I mean, so what, right? So what? It's only going to space. Hey, so at's 420. Who cares?

Fire it up. Even that really does not deter my thinking of. I feel like I need to partake. It's been way too long. Is it legal here in Texas yet? It's not, is it? It's not legal in Texas, right? I don't know what's talking about.

All right, now I've got to look up the states. La da-da-da-da-da-la-da. La-da-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la. my room until I got high I was gonna get up and find the broom but then I got hot My room is still messed up And I know why

Why man? Why man? Because I got high Because I got high Because I got high So according to this 15 total recreational weed states But they're

2021 is This was done before 2021 So we absolutely have got more than that now, right? 31 out of 50 states have undergone some decriminalization of weed under the law. But let's see, where is weed legal in the U.S.? Let's see. Is Texas on this list? Because I don't think it is.

Why am I not hearing the music? I didn't say cut it off. I mean, it's 420. I need some kind of bed. Talking about states that... Gosh, all right. Let's see then just bring it down a little. It's called the mix.

Even not 420. We should be able to mix something. Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon, South Dakota, Vermont, and Washington. To point to point out, even in states where pot is legal, there are several laws about how much you're allowed to carry on you. What? I can't have a semi-trackter trailer full. That's my personal use.

That is for these guys, man. Oh, see, that's not even though. Even on 4.20. That's not funny. to more Blaze Media content at the blaze.com slash podcasts.
