P.S. 20 for details. You're legal they have stores. Stores with weed. I mean what is this? 23 other states. Great but could I find someone to smoke this fancy new legal weed with? Do you guys smoke pot? Yeah, yeah. You buy it from the store now or do you guys still are you loyal to your old dealers? You still have to go all around and like, hey, I gotta text you a menu. So now you just go down the corner and then there's like a store right there. I noticed a couple of you have walkie-talkies. Is it for work? Yeah.

Hey, you know, this is Sarah Silverman. I just want to let you know that Curtis has diareour be a little bit late. Okay, well these guys didn't get stoner comedy, but maybe I'd find some bud buddies at one of the new license dispensaries like the Union Square Travel Agency where buying drugs feels like a little bit like making an appointment at the not-so-genious bar. So when New York legalized, they granted the first licenses so people have been formally incarcerated. I love it. When I first moved to New York City, the way I got weed was I call my dealer, get into

his Toyota Yarris and have to sit in a smelly car while I listen to his band's demo and here, I mean, are you in a band? I'm not in a band? It's refreshing. Instead of dealers without professional boundaries, these new dispensaries have weed baristas, aka bud tenders. I want the giggles and the creativity of a sativa with the feeling like I'm being held by like a 16-foot man, cradled like a baby. We have something for that. Really?

So what's your preferred method of consumption? Do you have anything that I can Put up anally like a surprise story of some kind Not with weed in it just anything Not here are you high right now? No, I'd like to speak to a manager please Non-high weed dealers. what a strange new world. At least the customers were just like in the old days. What are you guys going to do when you're high?

We giggle. We laugh. We laugh. And do we get intimate? We get into get brownies. What's brownies? Is that some kind of sex op? No.

Oh, th. th. th. th sex ophumism? No. Oh, it's just an actual brownie. We're old-fashioned, just brownies, yeah. Oh, that sounds good. That's right up in my alley. Can I get high with you? Sure. When it's time to get intimate, you know, one of you guys will have to leave.

Can we choose? We'll pick stras. weed to enhance their eating and love making. It helps with a lot of like anxiety or just like that nerve pushing button where you're just like I don't want to talk to you anymore. It's like I feel like you smoke pot and you realize that nothing you're worried about matters. Yeah. I mean basically we're already dead. These users were so stoked on their legal weed, it seems like anyone could sell it to them. Hmm, notes of hickory. Like, anyone at all.

What ills are you trying to solve with drugs? I'm just looking to get higher than I've ever been. Yeah, just ultimate high. Yeah. We can do that with us. That's going to be $738. For an eighth. It is expensive, but but but but but th, but th, but it is cheaper, but th, but it is cheaper, but it is cheaper, but it is cheaper, but it is cheaper, but it is cheaper than therapy. All in all, it's crazy to think that something you can buy now for a lot of money in a fancy

store used to get people sent to prison. And many are still there. There are people here that were put in prison for weed crimes. Yeah. It would be great if there was a radical exchange of wealth with people who have served time for something that politicians are making millions from now. Absolutely. I don't know what I'm saying. I'm stoned.

I still hadn't found anyone to smoke with besides the horny brownie lovers, but as usual, New York City didn't let me down. This is crazy. We're actually doing a story about people smoking weed in New York. Y'all, I'm smoking weed in New York right now, that's crazy. And you're doing it. Mm-hmm. What kind of weed is this?

Um, so this is like a sativa. There's a cookies blend. You get it from a smoke shop. thia. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to to to theeeaaa. theea. thiiiiiiiiii. thi. thi. thi. thi You get it illegally from a deli. Well, from a smoke shop. We've got to be careful with what you get. Yeah. My guy showed me photos of where he grows and stuff, so I can, I trust him. Yeah, if he has a picture of it, he, it's definitely true. Which led me to address the most serious question that this issue had raised. I've got a dog at home. Like do you think she loves me or do you think it's just like I'm the person that feeds her so she just plays ball? Your dog is love and that might be what you need and even if it's not directed to you,

that's the love you got. That's your dog. So it doesn't matter. I guess it doesn't really matter whether you get your weed from a fancy dispensary or as part of some tragically misguided drug war, as long as you smoke it with a friend. My dog is love. I could cry. That's so beautiful. Love, my dog is love. Love made a mess on the carpet. And love cleaned that mess up.

It's all love. It's all love. Finding great candidates to hire can be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

You co-founded Vips, which is a streaming service where people can see live concerts. Vice presidents. I'm kidding. You say vice presidents? You say vice presidents? Oh, yeah. Uh, don't do better jokes than me.

I actually, this is, we've been working on this for seven years. It's a streaming platform for live concerts and we just launched comedy. So where we feel like there's a place for comedy when you can't get the big special you know on Netflix or wherever we feel like there's a big hole for for comedians to develop their specials and to you know make their way up to the top of the comedy game oh that's so exciting I know so many people that would be amazing. Yeah well you should send them over. Yeah. Yeah. And it's definitely, it's a great platform too for the future of live music is absolutely. People watch sports, they expect to be able to watch whatever game they want.

People want to see from every tour that goes out, tickets sell out. We all know how that goes. More and more, there needs to be a place for concerts and for bands to build their live audiences and so live streaming is important to us. And being a musician, we started it for the musicians.
