Conan O'Brien Radio! Conan O'Brien Radio! Hey everybody, Andy Richter here. Not coincidentally because it's time for the Andy Richter call-in show. Thus, the name. For both of us. Although I was not named after the show. The show was named after me. A lot of thought went into it.

Uh, anyway, it's good to be back. This is a very fun part of my week. And one of the best parts of it is that I get to hang with funny people. And I got one of my favorite funny people here today, Blaine Capatch. Hi Andy. Hi, Blaine, how are you? I'm wonderful, thank you. Blaine's a comedian and a writer.

He's been on Comedy Central. You worked for MADtv. How long did you work for MADtv? I was on the pilot and four seasons. Yeah. And then I jumped ship to the Martin Short talk show. Oh boy, good move. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. It was fun though. Yeah, yeah, no, I honestly, I would have done the same thing. Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, when I met with him, he said, well, it's gonna be a talk show

and it's gonna have an SCTV sketch reality behind it that bleeds into it. I was like, oh, that's perfect. Right, right. That didn't happen. Well, that was our idea on late night, too. It's going to be a hybrid talk show, sketch show. It'll be as much a sketch show as it will a talk show.

And then we started making it. And we were like, oh, that's too much fucking work. Yeah, no time. Oh my god, you cannot write sketches day in and day out and have them be good. No. And also we were also like, we looked down our noses at topical humor.

And then after about four days on the air, we were like, oh, I hope someone famous does something. Something please happen. Something happened. Yeah, something. Michael Jackson, do something. Oh, he did. OK, good. Oh, we can't joke about it. Yipes, he did. Yeah, yeah. Did too many things. And also, you and I frequently do lucha vavum. Lucha vavum. Together, which is for people that don't live in Los Angeles. It's been running

for how, like 20 years. 22, 23 years. 22 or 23 years. It is a combination of luchadores, you know, lucha libre, Mexican wrestling, masked mostly, some of them aren't masked. Yes. The good looking ones aren't masked. The anti-vaxx one. You can, yeah, the anti-vaxx. That's how you can tell.

Yeah. The measles. Yeah. Here it comes. Staff le caucas. But and and then it's also combined with burlesque performers. It's a very interesting combination and it's at the Mayan which is a beautiful old sort of it looked the Mayan seems like it would have been where you you know, when people would go to a fancy club

in a 1940s movie. That's what the Mayan seems like. It should be in black and white. Yeah, it's a beautiful place. But I help you host and you and I, you're the normal or the regular guy and then you get color commentary from dopes like me. Yeah.

Different people. I love dopes like you. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's always a pleasure having you there. Well, thank you. It's really fun. And we met. I was your writer on At Midnight. That's right.

The old Chris Hardwick Comedy Central at midnight. That's right. And now it's after midnight, and soon it will be done. Yes. It's the sun is setting on midnight. The midnight sun. Midnight will be. It's really amazing how much material people got out of a Twitter game show basically.

Yeah, it was, well you know that's weird because you were talking about being topical. We were writing jokes, we would get in in the morning like 8 o'clock and we would have a packet that they would put together in the middle of the night. And then by the time we would record the show at 4 o'clock and we would have a packet that they would put together in the middle of the night and then by the time we would record the show at 4 o'clock every joke that we wrote had been done online by a million people. So you had to kind of try to it was like one of those 3d paintings where you have to look past it and then it comes together you have to look past the jokes right in front of you and see what's behind it. Yeah, like lose focus so that you can gain focus.

Oh, it's a pterodactyl. Well, this is a call-in show, and today's topic is weed stories. And I mentioned you were a partake of marijuana, or have occasionally. I smoked pot daily for decades, but I have since stopped. I've been weed free for a couple of years.

Yeah. I think I just sort of, I just got tired of it. It became a chore. It became more of a chore. Yeah. I mean, no offense callers, but I'm in the same boat. I mean, I wasn't daily for decades, but I certainly smoke weed on and off my entire life. Yeah, I enjoy it. I mean, not as a child. I waited until I was, you know, it was acceptable, junior high.

No, that's not true. I smoked pot the first time when I was 14. See, I didn't smoke pot for the first time. I was probably 17 or 18. I was like, I was, you know, and it was the, when I got out of high school, like, so I was already out of high school because it was, it was a very squeaky clean kind of group of, it was a small town. And there was a big division between people that,

and even when I got to college, there was a big division, division between those people that got high and those people that didn't. The heads of the jocks. Yeah. Which is really hilarious nowadays considering, I mean I have... Jocks are the heads. I have adult kids and it's like I don't know any kids that aren't getting high. Yeah, they're vaping too. Which is... Absolutely. It's a different thing. It's like a diet coke. Yes. But it is... It's still there, but it's different. Yeah, but it is, in terms of convenience, it's a brilliant way to get high. Yeah, completely.

Yeah, and there's no smell, no, you can just be in a stupor all you want. You can hotbox when the guy is checking your registration. That's right. Yeah, you know, I smoked once when I was 14, and then I didn't smoke again until I was 19 or 20. I started smoking when I started 14, and then I didn't smoke again until I was 19 or 20. I started smoking when I started comedy. Yeah, yeah.

But yeah, I was, and I wasn't a drinker or anything. I wasn't a problem child. Did you find, did you think like when you quit smoking weed that it might hurt your joke writing ability? You know, I find it that instead of just coming up with stuff, I have to think about coming up with stuff. Right. Yeah. So I have to work on it a little bit.

But it's not a problem. Yeah, well, it is good for jokes. I wouldn't do it for a novel. But jokes, it certainly is. Well, Carlin said he would write straight and then smoke a joint for the rewrite. Yeah. That was his thing.

That's a pretty good system. Because then you would see, OK, there's And he would write straight and then smoke a joint for the rewrite. That was his thing. That's a pretty good system. Because then you would see, okay, there's something I can riff on with myself. So were you here when the legalization happened? Oh, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and were you in on early on that? Yeah, I would go to a guy in the valley and I would get a medicinal coupon or whatever,

my ID. And he would be looking right at me and saying, you have anxiety, right? Yes. As he's filling out the thing. Yes, I have anxiety. Yeah, I had a Russian doctor in a really sad office building on Fairfax, right by Sammy's camera. Okay. right by Sammy's camera. And I am not kidding in that this woman looked like Teddy from Bob's Burgers.

You know, Teddy, he's the regular at the, except with like really distinct lip liner. And it was, the office was literally all folding chairs, like CBS folding chairs and folding tables. And her receptionist was her Russian husband sitting under, obviously, like a free pharmaceutical clock that you plugged into the wall. So it had this eeeeeeeee sound. We couldn't get fluorescent lights for you, but we have the clock.

We have this. But to go in and it was the same thing where she's like, what do you have? And I'm like, oh, I'm a depression. How bad? And I would be like, no, you know what? And she's like, how bad? I'm like, oh, OK, right.

It's terrible. And the same thing too, like when I went back to renew the prescription, I was like, yeah, you know, and the same thing too, like when I went back to renew the prescription, I was like, yeah, you know, I mean, my anxiety, it's okay. Just say it. Just say you're in terrible shape, you know? Yeah, I'm on a ledge all day. Yeah, yeah.

Oh, there you go. Fine. I felt bad when that got legalized because I was like, oh man, my doctor is, he's got to find a new line of work. Your doctor or your dealer? Well, not the dealer, the guy that wrote my... Oh, right doctor is, he's got to find a new line of work. Your doctor or your dealer? Well, not the dealer, the guy that wrote my, Oh, oh right, right, right. The pass, medical pass.

Probably Ozempic now. Probably prescribing Ozempic now or something. Everybody's on the Ozempic. Well, remember when that was legalized. It's Ozempic for the bed and what's the other one for the head? I don't know. Yeah. Oh. Oh wait, I don't know. Yeah.

Oh. Oh, wait, I wasn't understanding what you were saying. You know what, when it became legal, I think that's kind of when it was a wrap for me, because first of all, the adventure was gone, and second of all, it was too easy to get, and I got it all the time and I smoked too much. It's like, oh, you know,

I'm just gonna swing by the pharmacy today. And next thing you know, you've dropped a couple of hundred bucks on weed in five days. And you're smoking constantly. Exactly. And that was the vaping too. The vaping where it was just like, it's too fucking easy.

It's to keep one in the car and one in the house. And then it's sort of like, oh, I'm always unmotivated. I'm always eating too many carbs. And I have popcorn lung. Yeah, that too. Yeah, that was. Zebra popcornopolis lung. Super bad lung.

Yeah, yeah. Caramel and cheese lung. You know, the first, and also too, the opening of dispensaries too was just so dangerous, especially, and I avoid them now, edibles. The first time I ever went, they kind of, I bought weed and, you know, and I was thrilled. Practically, you know, had a semi erection

just from like walking into this place. I'm like, oh my, I'm in Amsterdam. Yeah. And they gave me as a freebie, like this sort of, it looked like a Trader Joe's sort of two bite brownie. Like, no here, this is a bonus thing. And I at the time rented a little shitty office on Wilshire Boulevard and I was writing a screenplay as I was driving over, I ate half the brownie and ten minutes later I was like, I'm not really feeling so

I ate the rest of the brownie and was incapacitated for the rest of the day. Later in the hospital. And it was summertime so my son who was probably about eight at the time, was in a camp at the Museum of Natural History and I was supposed to pick him up at like 3.30 and I had to call my ex-wife, who was in Pilate's class, to let her know. And I knew there's no lying. I was like, I had a weed brownie thing and I'm too high to go get our son And she was very nice about it, but I it's not you just you know that that's yeah, she's filing that way

It's not it's not hot. It's not hot when your husband says I can't pick up our child I ate a weed brownie and too high to get off my Ikea couch You know, I I stopped smoking for like maybe four or six months before I quit. Yeah. And my wife loved it. She was like, oh, you're better, you know, your breath doesn't smell like weed all the time, you're not always stepping outside, because I have a kid too, you know, and I'm making excuses.

Yeah. And then one day I was like, oh, I'm just going to get back into it. And went and got some pot and I smoked a little. And I was talking to her and I was just sort of giggling a little bit and being goofy. And she looks at me and she goes, are you high? Yeah, I started to get, and she flipped out on me, like scolded me and was very, very angry and disappointed.

Wow, wow. I was like, oh Jesus, wow, oh yeah, I think I kinda fucked up. And it just- I guess you really liked me not getting high anymore. Yeah, and I felt like a dickhead. I was like, oh yeah, I had made it all that time without smoking pot and it wasn't really a problem

and I was a little sharper. And I was just, oh, let's all fade back into it. And she was furious. And I felt like a fool. Yeah, yeah. So when I quit again, I think that was part of it. Yeah. It was disappointing my wife.

It was, for me, it's, you know, like I take antidepressants and I just found that when I was getting high, what I liken it to is that like I'm on doctor prescribed mood stabilizers and then in the sort of wood-floored room of my mood in my brain, I was dumping marbles on the floor. I was trying to stabilize myself, but then like, hey, why don't I just grease the stairs? Yeah.

Marbles are fun. Yeah. Wee! Look at all the colors. Look, hey, you know, I was getting high for a while and I felt great and now I feel like shit. Yeah. So I had to just, it's kids.

Again, I don't wanna sound like, but just for me, it was time to, yeah, come on! Yeah, I expect that. We'll be getting callers that are saying that. Well, you know, I would feel, I feel like I quit drinking and I quit smoking grass and I would, I could easily go back to smoking grass again, even though I know that I would be, it would be instantly smoking constantly.

Yes. And that's a drag. Drinking I don't miss. I absolutely do not miss it at all. I'm glad I stopped. I know. But I could backpedal into it. Drinking is always like take it or leave it. But I could also see myself upon retiring,

just lowering myself into a bong and staying there until they pull me out to put me in the grave. That's a distinct possibility. I will say that the one thing that after a couple of weeks, when I stopped, my dreams came back. Absolutely the same thing. Absolutely. And my dreams were sort of fuzzy.

I could kind of remember them a little bit. Yeah, yeah. Occasionally, yeah. But then my dreams came back. And my dreams are so intense sometimes, and they distract me during the day. Wow. And I'll think about them and I'll ponder them and turn them over in my head when I

should be doing other stuff and if I have a bad one it ruins my mood. Wow. I question stuff and so I want, sometimes I think I wish I could just smoke pot to get rid of my dreams. You have, what you have is a lifetime of dreaming blue balls. There's a backlog of dreams that are just spurting out now. Yeah. No, I found the same thing.

Like, very striking difference between waking up and being like, oh my god, for two hours I was roaming around my old high school with my grandfather. Just big convoluted adventure dreams. Last night I was loaning Sting some talking chopsticks. And I was like, he was gonna host a comedy show. And I was like, why is Sting hosting a comedy show? But here, you're gonna need these.

Yeah, he's talking chopsticks. They're pretty funny. You press a button and they're, ah, ah, ah. But it was because, and then like all day I'll go, well, why did I have that dream? Oh, it was because I saw a police article online somewhere. Yeah. And I love that band, so I read the article

and so I was dreaming about the police. Yeah. And so I turned into this dream investigator and it interferes with my day. And then you saw a Chinese dub of The Beauty and the Beast. And then the talking chopsticks. There it is. Yeah, yeah, there it is.

855-266-2604. Cars for kids. Cars for kids. Kids for cars. That would be better. Kids for cars. Now that's a charity. Donate your kid today. Donate your kid today. We've got Christina from San Jose. Christina. Hello. Hello. I'm here. How you doing Christina? Never better.

How are you Andy? Hi Blaine. Hi Christina. How are you? I'm good. I'm good. Thank you. I heard you're never better. Yeah. So fellow Californian, everybody gets high in California, right? Of course. It's just a rite of passage. Right. So my story is I was 16 in 1979 and my eldest sister is seven years older than I, but she had a boyfriend I will refer to as Danny for anonymity. Okay. And Danny grew pot on a remote property in Watsonville, which is an agricultural town

in the Monterey Bay area. Okay. And the property Danny owned came with a really big greenhouse that was probably like about eight by 20. Oh, wow. So when it came time to harvest the weed, Danny had paid me 20 bucks an hour to turn the weed. Danny had paid me 20 bucks an hour to trim the buds and this was you know significantly better than my usual five dollar an hour

babysitting hustle so yeah make a few hundred bucks every weekend during harvest season which was a King's ransom. In 1979 that's like a million dollars. It was, it was right. So Danny would let me fill up Ziploc bags with all the shake that I wanted and shake is the leaves from the plants that no discriminating weed connoisseur would buy. So shifty dealers would sell the crop to people who didn't know any better. But it will do the trick. It will. Yeah, you can high off it. Yeah,

yeah. But I had an epiphany that if you pulverize the dried shake in a blender, it made a handy additive to brownie mix, you know, as Betty Crocker intended. So, um... Now, does your mom notice that the blender smells like skunk? No, no. No? My mom was working, so no. We wash it well. Yeah, yeah. We didn't wash it, what can I say?

Yep. So I baked the wheat brownies when she wasn't home and voila, instant edibles, albeit primitive, but not very tasty, but you know, you get high on them. That's not the point. So I had the, yeah So I had the brilliant idea to give the brownies to my graphic design classmates. I'd take a three hour class off site

from my high school campus. And I probably gave away at least a dozen brownies with full disclosure that they did contain weed. And my peers greedily accepted them. And as you know, edibles are very powerful. They were pretty significant brownies, you know, in size. So within about a half hour, the takers, you know, the classroom became ch'i ch'in ch'ong times about six, a lot of navel gazing and staggering around the classroom. You know, the way that gazing and staggering around the classroom. You know, the way that young people can be entertained for hours by something like a glow.

Of course, yeah. And one girl was so wasted. Her name was Wendy. I do remember that. And she looked like an excitable bug that's bulging eyeballs were going to pop out of her head. She was just so completely out of it. But the school buses came to return us to our respective high school campuses. But I distinctly remember feeling abnormally paranoid and that's why just lasting an eternity, you know, just didn't go away. So here we are. This is 46 years later, and I'm still so thankful. My dumb luck saved me and none of those burnouts squealed and none of their parents noticed how high they were

and asked them what the hell was going on. And, you know, I put my parents through plenty, but being expelled for getting at least a dozen high school kids really high is something I'm very glad didn't happen. All these years later. Well, was there a teacher reaction to this? No, that's, you know, in hindsight I was thinking how funny that the instructor of the class didn't catch on at all or if he did he probably just didn't want to be bothered, you know, by it. Yeah. Because he was kind of a guy that was pretty insightful and he probably knew what was going on, but just figuring out it's getting close, it's keeping everybody quiet.

Right. It probably made his job easy. But a follow up to the story, Danny probably kept up the weed growing for about two more years and bear in mind, people were still doing prison time for weed in California at the time. And this was also decades before cell phones and caller ID, but an anonymous caller rang Danny and said, I know what you're doing.

I know what you're growing on that farm. And I have it cleaned up in X days because I'm gonna call the cops, click. Wow, wow. So yeah, rather than risk getting busted, Danny pretty much had to acquiesce and he and his buddies pulled up every plant and removed all the evidence from the greenhouse. But he was a really savvy businessman who planned for this just in the event that he did get busted, he would bury his cash on another property that he owned.

He never did get busted. Good for him. And ended up being very successful in a different career many years later. Oh, wow. Of cash digging. Of cash digging, yeah. Cash mining. Burying.

You didn't get worried that you were going to forget where the cash was buried, did you? No. No, he was very smart, so I'm sure he ever did. Put a big sign, cash here, with an arrow pointing down. It's under a big THC. A big THC. All right, Christina, well, thank you so much for the call. Thank you, Christina. Thanks, Andy. Take care. Talk to you later.

Bye-bye. That's one thing I don't miss is the paranoia loop, because once you realize that you're a little paranoid, you get more paranoid and then more paranoid, and then it turns into absolutely no fun. Yeah, and then it's just like, it's the power of suggestion, but if it's like a snow, a sticky snowball rolling downhill.

So, you know, I think the cops, I think the cops, I think there's a cop becomes there's a cop. Yeah. Isaac Baltimore. Ah! How are you? Doing well, gentlemen. How are you? Good.

How you doing there, hon? I lived in Balmer in the 80s. That's where I started comedy back in Balmer. Really? Yeah. Charm City Comedy Club down on, down on Water Street. Water. Oh yeah. Ballmer. Yeah, Charm City Comedy Club down on down on Water Street. Oh yeah, oh yeah. So tell us about your about your weed story, Isaac. Well this would have been back in the the mid-90s. I came to weed a little later than many, so I was no longer a high school student. I

had got my first apartment and a roommate who had joined me, introduced me to the idea of the gravity bomb, which I was intrigued by because it's sort of this great combination of engineering and pharmaceuticals. And, you know, I don't know if it's necessary to explain the mechanics of the gravity bone, but it's essentially an external loan that you put the smoke into, and then you inhale it. Yeah. He had showed me like a bagpipe. Coke bottle.

Yeah, like a bong was a bagpipe. Yeah, exactly. And he showed me, he showed me one he had made with a little 16 ounce Coke bottle. And I was like, well, that's great. Maybe we can make a bigger one. And so we went up one size and we ended up making one with a two liter bottle.

And then we found a three liter bottle of generic coal and we used that for a little while and we thought that was pretty clever. And then one day I got my hands on an empty five gallon water jug. And I was like, this is it. This is the big one. This is our grand plan. And I brought it home and I showed it to him. And he was like, this is brilliant.

You're a genius. We're geniuses. We're gonna be rich. We didn't really have a plan on how it was gonna make money, but we were gonna do it nonetheless. And we managed to punch a hole in the bottom using one of those $5 survival knives and a lot of effort because that plastic is thick. Yeah.

But we had made ourselves this five gallon gravity bone. And then the question is, how are we going to use this? It's too large for the sink. It's too large for any of the buckets or appliances we had. We had to fill up our bathtub to use it. And we were sharing a small apartment with a very small bathroom.

And so we had to sort of sit together, cramped between the toilet and the bathtub, the bathtub filled up. And we decided it should be filled with absolutely hot water. So this would be sort of therapeutic. At the same time, you get a little bit of a steam treatment. And we filled it up. And then the question is, wait a minute, you know, five gallons is well beyond the lung capacity of any mortal man. And, and so our approach is we would fill this and we actually had to repack the bowl two or three times to get it completely full. And we moved very slowly because we wanted this to be a potent experience as we drew the this this five gallon water bottle out

of the water and filled it with smoke. and the idea was then you breathe in through your mouth and keeping your mouth over the top of the The water jug you breathe out through your nose and then you breathe in through the mouth breathe out through the nose It was very sophisticated for the state of mind. You're sure but we managed to do it Hygienic to my friend friend James went, of course. Yeah, yeah. Very. My friend James tried it first and he was about halfway down and he just keeled over, passed out. And the only thing I could think to do was really grab the water bottle and

slap my hand over so that the smoke didn't escape. It was only after that that I realized that I probably should have caught him instead. It is a bit of an ordeal to repeat the process. It definitely worked. But we dubbed the water bottle Satan, and we wrote in Sharpie on the side, Satan, big block letters. And it was, you know, one of many bad decisions that you make when you're 19 and on your own. Yeah. But I regret nothing. Well, it is sort of along the lines of that martini was good.

What about a mop bucket full of vodka? We're going to need more olives. Yeah, yeah. It's like, yeah, that's too much. That's not what's supposed to happen. Was one of you singing, smake on a wood or? That would be perfect. Yeah.

Was it hard for you to get marijuana in Baltimore? No, this was not quality marijuana. Oh, okay, yeah, so you got marijuana in Baltimore. Yeah. Yes. This is the Dundalk, this is the good stuff, the Glen Burnie weed. It was great. There is a whole strain of creativity that's just around getting weed.

And there's an accessorizing to it that I don't, I'm not even aware that it's still there so much. I mean, I, you know, I guess there's different pipes and things, but not like head shops of the old days. Yeah, or making a pipe out of a Pepsi can. Yeah, yeah. An apple or anything. Or an apple or whatever, yeah.

Guys making their stuff in shop class. Lost art. Yeah. It is. It's a lost art. Yeah. Kids need to learn. When I lived in Baltimore at Slapstick's Comedy Club

with an X, Sticks with an X, they were based in the Midwest. Every now and then the managers would say, hey, the lighter weed is here. We have some lighter weed. They would get shipments from this guy lighter. It was the best marijuana I had ever smoked in my life. Whenever it came in, they would go, lighter weed. And then years later when I was living in Los Angeles, I met this guy who was a friend of a friend, and he's from Lawrence, Kansas, and he goes, oh yeah, I'm lighter.

I'm like, oh my God. We became best friends for years. We're still super friends. We would get super, super drugged out and go see bands all the time. Is he in the weed business? I don't. Is he is he in the weed business? I don't know if he's still in the weed business or not. He moved back to Kansas. He moved like right before the pandemic. I miss him. We had some grand adventures. Nice. But yeah, the rare instance where my dealer was my friend was my dealer. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Well, Isaac, thank you so much for the call. Thanks, Isaac.

Boy. See you down the ocean. Thank you. Cheers. Bye. 855-266-2604 is the number. We're talking weed. And next up, we got Andrew from New Jersey. Hi. Hey, Andrew, you got me in blame. Thank you, Andy. Your mom has excellent taste and name. Oh thank you.

You're welcome. So this was going to be, this is about 2021. My wife had given birth to two twin children that were mine. And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. It'd really suck if one of them wasn't. They're twins, but different fathers. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And they don't look alike either, so it could be. Now I'm thinking about it. I'll get back to you guys. That's next week. Thrupple twins. That's next week. There we go. So, there were, before they were sleep trains, one of them had to sleep face down on a boppy

pillow. So it meant that one of us had to stay up all night with him to make sure he didn't have to see himself. Wow. It was the only way that he would sleep. Oh my God. And we would like take shifts and all this different stuff and plenty of nights I would be like, Hey, I will just stay up until like 6 a.m. Give me until that time.

I did not just push two humans out of my body usefully. And then I'll smoke a joint and take like a nap for four hours and then be ready to go. And I had had to stop smoking previously for her to get pregnant because I learned I'm the only one in my family that it's who had never negatively affected his demons. So I find that out over like Christmas dinner you know. Anybody else have low sperm count because of weed? Oh you're talking about Captain Low Sperm Count over here. It was actually an Easter brunch cause I was like, there are eggs around. So let me just, this will be a good time to bring it up.

Yeah, it's on topic. But yeah, exactly. So I smoked a joint one morning after being up all night and then I was like, Oh, we need orange juice and we need some wipes from the right aid. So I walked to the right aid, haven't been all night, walk in. It's 630 in the morning, a security guard is standing there with an employee and I kind of look at him and give him like a quick salute for whatever reason. I like clipped the joint and put it in my pocket. I just kind of walk past them and I have to make like a long loop around to get what

I want. And you know, I'm just kind of bopping around. I get to the end and the security guard who, I'm in my 30s, he couldn't have been older than 19. He walks up and he's like, you're paid for that, right? I was like, what? He said, you're gonna pay for that, right? And I was like, yeah, I'm literally, I'm going right now to go pay for it.

So he follows me up to the, hi sweetheart, just a sec, okay? Yeah, bud. Oh, that's great. Okay, well, please ask your brother not to do that, okay? We got it! Yeah, bud. We got it! Oh, that's great. Okay, well please ask your brother not to do that, okay? Thank you, play nice. They're doing great.

So, great. Can you tell in a weed story, Andy Richter? Yeah, and so, so I come back as a security guard, and he's walking me up to the register at this point. And part of me thinks like, I'm not a violent person, but I'm like, am I gonna have to fight this person? Cause I don't know what he's harassing me for.

And then I go up to pay, I pay like, and we're standing there and he's like, I'm sorry, it's just, you know, we've had like some crazy nights till the last, and I was like, no, I get it. I was like up all night with the boys, like, it's cool. Don't worry about it. And he's like, no, it's fine. So I go, I finally pay, I'm like, hey, you have a great day.

And he's like, yeah. And I walk out and as I walk out, I realize my shirt covered with spin up. Like there's just a giant white white stain on the front of my shirt. Oh, my God. I just told him I was up all night with the boys. Something he does not know what that means because he doesn't know who I am. Wow. And then I see that I have a giant rip down the back of my shorts.

So I walked into this Rite Aid at six to 30 in the morning, giant rip down the back of my shorts, a white substance all over the front of my shirt, reeking of marijuana. And I think that security guard was right to accost me, to be honest with you. I think he was looking out for the people in Rite Aid. And it makes sense that he was a little suspicious.

Yeah, because I think if you see a guy, like with that all over his shirt at the Rite Aid, you're not thinking it's baby spit up. Yeah, you're thinking lost weekend with Andy Dick. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Oh boy.

Don't hit me with a UV wand, please. Yeah. All right, Andrew. Well, thank you so much. You go get puked on again. Oh, hey, Andrew. Wait, was marijuana legal in New Jersey? So it is legal in New Jersey.

I was actually living in New York City at the time. It was very legal at that point. They kind of had like a standoff for that. And also, just real quick, Andy, thank you so much for Andy Richter Controls the Universe. Meant a lot to me as a young, chubby kid who got to see like older husband men with girlfriends and like having good lives and stuff.

So thank you so much. That was my pleasure, thank you. All right, thanks, Andrew. Thanks, Andrew. I had to once, when I lived in Chicago, I saw a friend of mine that I worked in film production after we were wrapped for, it was a wrap day and so it was kind of still early afternoon,

and we went to my house to get high, and while we were there looking out onto Ashland Avenue, saw a traffic caldercation where two guys pulled over, and like, you know, what are you doing? Work it out. But one of them pulled a gun and shoved it in the face of the other guy. Heesh.

Yeah, and we were like, holy shit. So I called the police and my friend had to get home. He lived a few blocks away. So I drove him home and came back and there was a police officer at our front door of our building. And my neighbors, both directly across the floor and one floor above me, it was a group of men and a group of women

of intellectually disabled people, that like kind of a group living situation. And they were trying to tell him about the car and what kind of car it was. And I stepped up and I was just so fucking high, but he was like, still like zoomed in on me. I was like, what kind of car was it? And I was like a Honda, whatever.

And I told him and then, and to the like these elderly women, like just like very, you know, disagreeing with me. It was not, it wasn't. And then the cops going like, okay. And then he said, all right, I'll call it in. And I said, I said, what do you, what do you, you know, what do you think happened? Or, you know, something like, what do you think happened?

And he went, it's probably one of our guys. Okay. Oh yeah. I was like, so what do you do then about a cop pointing a off duty coputy cop pointing a gun at someone's face and he's like I'll file an informational report Which I have a feeling me. It means you know, yeah, I'll do fucking nothing. I'll talk to Jeff. Yeah. Yeah I'll buy him two drinks instead of three. Yeah We had Levi calling in and Levi Has a wild card story Blaine just so you know a wild card

It does it's a topic list story Okay It can be on any topic and I guess Levi had called in earlier and we ran out of time for him So here now from Nashville is Levi with his wild card. Love it now from nashville is levi with was twenty i would it was a day that i definitely had the flu i'd already thrown up a couple times that day and i'm living with uh... three roommates at the time of the time my only female roommate was also home we're both in the living room watching tv i

was on one cat shoes on another uh... not feeling great but so far it had just been throwing up. And of course, you know, felt the need to fart, leaned a little to the left, and some excruciatingly hot diarrhea came out real fast without any effort at all. So I am quickly going to debate what I'm going to do. Well, at least you were being a gentleman. At least you were being a gentleman and just letting it rip, you know with unabashedly I was hoping it would be silent. No, I mean honestly it was silent cuz looking at her she did not flinch

So I don't know anything happens right? Wow, so I'm panicking. What am I gonna do? I stand up and look at it And it's just this perfect Line stain of my ass crap on the pillow So I take so I take another like sidecatch pillow cover it run upstairs You Levi It's you Levi. The Philip, Philip, a big bowl of hot water, hot soapy water, come downstairs with it. And at this point in time holding that hot soapy bowl of water, I then have to tell my roommate, Hey, I just shit myself.

That's what happened over there. I'm now going to clean it up. And I'm very sorry that I shit myself in front of you and didn't say a word. Full disclosure. You looked at me and said our... Go ahead. No, no, you go ahead. I'm sorry.

Oh, I was going to say, if you looked at me and said, are you okay? In a way that was much beyond like, I know you're fluidic, are you okay? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So yeah, so like, should you be living with other human beings? Is that kind of okay? Correct. Exactly. So, yeah, so like should you be living with other human beings? Is that kind of a- Yeah, correct.

Yeah. Sorry I shit your couch. Yeah, yeah. And your pillows. Yeah, on our community pillows. Oh my God. Okay, pillows. And then they kicked you out of Pier 1.

That's fantastic, Lui. Thank you. Yeah. I hope those- did anybody want those cushions? That's fantastic, Levi. Thank you. Yeah. Of course. Of course. Did anybody want those cushions? Because that's the kind of thing, like those then become the Levi's shit cushions. That couch lasted me another 10 years before it finally hit the bucket. Wow.

Wow. Wow. The old girl really had... As the story as it could tell down on the large item trash day. I've seen it all, she says, as she's pushed into a dumpster. I fold out into a toilet. The week I threw it out, I put it out by the dumpster and every day, you know, slowly parts of it were dismantled by probably unhoused people. And it was just sad to see her slowly

get torn apart like that. Oh, that's too bad. We know they use every part of the whale in Nashville. Well, it was like she donated her body to science. That's exactly right. All right, Levi, thanks so much. Thank you, Levi. Thank you both.

I've only been to Nashville once. I was doing a club, I was doing Zany's with Drew Carey. We went out to a nice honky tonk afterwards. And I have never been more crop dusted in my life. I got so badly crop dusted in this honky tonk, I thought they were gonna come back and leave their business card. It was insane.

It was like a cloaking device. I don't know what happened or who it was, but that's what I remember about Nashville was getting crop dusted in a honky tonk. Oh my God. That reminds me of one of my favorite jokes of yours, the one about farting after. Oh yeah, ever fart after you shit?

That's your asshole saying, and stay out! Oh, classy, classy show. Wildcard. 855-266-2604 we've got Chad from DC. Hey guys. Hey there. Hi Chad. How's it going? My story takes place at Gunpowder Falls. Oh. Somewhere between York and Baltimore. Wow, okay. Like my kids went to Dallas Town Elementary, Blaine. Oh my God, I went to Dallas Town Elementary.

That's fantastic, I grew up in Dallas Town. That's why I mentioned it. Yeah. I just found out, I just met you. I've known Andy for 30 years, but I just met you. You have a hilarious heart attack joke. Oh yeah. And I'm in healthcare, and so that's important to this story. Okay, takes place on a day that I trusted my friend. I've only been tubing down a river a couple of times previously in Colorado, where I grew up, we use rafts, but they use tubes out here on the East Coast. And so my friend arranged for this big day out on the river and he invites his 85 year old parents along

There's a group of about 12 of us and we're all in wraps. And so I'm in health care. So I don't like drunk drivers They killed the teenagers. I prefer THC and but I rarely get to use it. I decided to do some edibles for this rafting trip. I'm not driving And so my wife and I are on these two tubes, edibles in place, and we start having the most relaxing river cruise that you could imagine, just like my previous memories. But then we come to the first fallen tree. And so it turns out my friend did not really know how to scope a river out to make sure it was safe. So our two and a half hour river trip turns into a five hour ordeal. So our two and a half hour river trip turns into a five hour ordeal and his parents, their inner tube gets a hole and sinks.

And so the backup inner tube is already in play and we're floating down the river climbing over about the fifth of these huge tree trunks that- Oh, you couldn't float around them. You had to, you had to, what do you call it? Bivouac over them. Yeah, you had to do a Gallipoli. No, not Gallipoli. Exactly. It's called the Turkish Dead Kayaks. Yeah, you had to do a Gallipoli.

No, not Gallipoli. He said kayaks. I don't even know the name of it. My friend probably knows the name of it, but he does not know how to scope a river. So we ultimately get over the, like the fifth one of these obstacles when my tube starts to sink and it starts to downpour

and lightning strikes, lightning all around us. We can see all these fallen trees and so we know the next fallen tree might be coming and we're getting nervous when my tube starts to completely sink and I'm standing in the water. The storm brings a fog, a mist and so we can't see anybody. We have no idea where anybody is. My wife and I are there stuck on the side completely, completely not sure what to do. Yeah. And I say dear I can't walk through the river. We've got to get off.

We've got to get out of the river. We've got to go to land. And then my wife freaks out. I subsequently learned you can't construct the lightning in a river. But we don't know that in this moment of panic. So the lightning starts striking all around us. My wife and I make it to the shore and she is a little bit of a, she doesn't like to get dirty.

So she has to run through the deepest mud we've ever seen and she's having a panic attack and I get her across and this entire time. I'm on edibles and have no idea what's going on. It's supposed to become surreal with all this fog and everything around me. And we decide we have to run and we really don't know how far it is. So we start to run in this downpour. I have to take off my sunglasses because they're fogged up you can't see anything. And so I'm running. Well, she doesn't want to abandon her tube because

it was her friend's tube, not her tube to abandon. So I take the tube, I'm running with the tube. And I say, sweetie, you just got to follow me. This is going to be the we have to scream to hear each other. I say, you got to follow me. We're going to survive. We're not going to die here on the side of this lake. We start running. One tree does fall near us. It doesn't hit us. It falls near us. And we go running. When all of a sudden we realized we've kind of gone the wrong way. We're trying to follow the map on the phone, but it's not working out. And we decided to go to the left. The left was not the way to go. So I say, sweetie, turn around. And as I turn around, I step on the rope that was dangling behind me from this

tube. And I step right onto this rope and I face plant and my eye hits a stick. Oh, oh my god. Immediately in my hands on my eye, we're so drenched in water. I can't tell if there's eyeball jelly dripping down my chin. I can't tell we're just completely soaked, but my eyeball will not open. I can't pry it open. It will not open.

And being in healthcare, I'm pretty sure what I just did. I just popped my eyeball globe and I'm going to lose my eyeball will not open. I can't pry it open. It will not open. And being in healthcare, I'm pretty sure what I just did. I just popped my eyeball globe and I'm going to lose my eyeball. So I'm convinced I have no eyeball. Wow. And I see the stick reverberating as I'm looking down with my left eyeball, the one that worked. I can see it vibrating and striking my eyeball. And it was one of those face plants where you just don't even have time to blink. Yeah. And so it hits my eyeball. So we jump up. I'm like, I have no fucking eyeball. I'm blind wife and I cover my eye

and I said, we've got to keep going. And so we keep running. We're both out of shape. We end up running two miles right before we get to the, to a bridge. I look at the map and I said, we have another mile to go and we're both about to just, you know, I'll lose our shit. I can't go any further. I can't breathe. My eyeballs missing. And missing and We go around the corner and we're like, wait a second. The map was wrong This is where we needed to be and so after about about 45 minutes or so running in this We finally make it to to the shore and I go past a group of guys. They say how was your how was your time?

I said well, I lost my fucking eyeball and they laughed at me and I go and I look in the in the truck and I look at my eyeball and I can see in the mirror with my left eye there's a scratch across my eyelid so that was what I knew I might have saved my eyeball I might have got my eyelid not my eyeball right well it was able to blink it open and I did not lose my eyeball oh good yeah the story happens it it was very good. I did not lose my eyeball after all this. But the punchline happened when we saw the news. We saw the news and I see on the news how tough this guy is because he took a graze bullet to his fucking ear.

A graze bullet to his ear and he stood up with his fist and he's the toughest human on the planet and son of a bitch, no he's not. I was blind for 45 minutes with one eyeball and I ran and I ran yeah and I was too high when I did it yeah with and lightning striking your wife covered with mud and yeah the 85 year old people nowhere to be seen how are the 85 year old you're on an edible oh god they made it safely so so we ended up running there they took another hour to come down the river climbing over stuff and their approach. So my wife and I were the first ones there and we had to wait for them to show up to

get into the vehicles because we weren't driving. And everybody else made it. Everybody else survived. Do you think that if you hadn't been on the edibles that you would have made better choices and perhaps not endangered your eyeball? Well, the choice was to scope out who was scoping out the river because that guy didn't do justice to scoping and making sure it was even passable. So I say that was my biggest mistake and I was totally sober for that.

Got it. I don't know. But being high, you know, it's hard to say what was the biggest effect, you know, on edibles it's not what you want, it's this adventure. So was it really the edibles? Was it just a disorientation of the mist? You couldn't see anything. It was the whole thing made it one of the most

surreal experiences of my life. It is. It was certainly a waste of weed. It was a waste of weed. Totally was a waste of weed. I was trying to relax to jazz music. And it was not relaxing. Do you still get high?

Well, I do it very select. I work a lot and I don't do it anywhere near where my job is. Like I said, I'm in healthcare. So I do on occasion. That did not give me enough PTSD not to try again. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Get back on that horse again.

All right, well, thank you, Chad. Thank you so much, Chad. And my best to Dallas town and DC. Thank you so much. Have a great rest of the show, guys. Thanks. Thank you, Chad. All right.

That freaked me out. That he knew where you were from? No, the eye part. Oh, oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, eye stuff. I can't deal with eye stuff. Yeah, yeah. This is horrifying. Yeah, when I was a kid, my brother, we were tussling,

and he kicked me in the eye with his bare foot. And I had my hand over my eye, and it was kind of like trying to get him in trouble crying and then went into the next room. And then when I took my hand away from my eye and I had my hand cupped, and there was like about a tablespoon of blood in my hand.

And that's when I really started to scream. And what had happened was his toenail had sliced open my eyelids. And so I had to get like four stitches in my eyelid. Oh wow. Yeah yeah. But at least it wasn't my eyeball. Yeah I got shot in the eye when I was in like first grade. One of those plastic rubber band planes. Yeah yeah. Across the school cafeteria. Into your open eye. Yeah, it scratched my cornea. Oh boy.

And I had to wear a patch for a little while. And then when I got contact lenses, I got, I don't wear them anymore because I got the 24 hour, the overnight ones, whatever. And my eyes got really, really dry. And when I took it out, it pulled off the scar from from the that wound. Oh my god.

Years and years before. Oh. It's so painful. Yeah, I didn't like it. Didn't like it at all. Eyeball stuff is no good. When my son was a toddler, I was reading a magazine and he climbed over me on the couch and his hand happened to drag across my eye and his fingernailil, like, scooped out my cornea.

Oh, Jesus. And it was, like, on a flap. Ah. And I had to fly to New York the next day to be in the Olsen twins movie. Uh, so I had to, I went to my doctor. That's the show. I went to my eye doctor, and he put like a band-aid,

like this sort of clear eyeball-sized contact lens. It's like a band-aid. Wow. And he's like, you can wear it. He goes, this will keep it in place, because it did like flap open. And then it would flap close, and it would seem like everything was OK.

And he said, he goes, but so go do it. I had one day of work, and then I had like four days off. And he said, and he referred me to another eye doctor who took it off because it got like cloudy with salt. And by like the third day I had it on, that one eye did really feel cloudy. And I had to lay in my hotel room in like, cause I couldn't like put an eye patch on it cause the pressure was too much. So he had to, I just had to lay in my hotel room in like, cause I couldn't like put an eye patch on it

cause the pressure was too much. So I just had to lay in a bed with my eyes closed for three days. Jesus. As housekeeping thought, this guy should see a shrink. And then just taking your laptop and going through your pants and stuff.

My mom had this glaucoma and the pressure in her eye, they put a little valve on her eye with a little string that was hanging out and you could see it on there, but they would pull the string and it would just release pressure. Yeah. Wow. It's like she could have saved herself a trip and just learned to do it herself. All right, let's, I think we've got time for one more.

Chris from Wisconsin. Hello. Hi there. How you guys doing? Good, how are you? Wonderful, Chris. All right, it's a little rainy here. I'm in my car parked.

I'm going to tell you this story. Yeah, it's a crazy ass stoner story. I'm almost 60 now. This was back when I was 18 19 living in Colorado Okay, and we were we were going to a thing called the Colorado Bongathon Okay, sure for like 10 or 15 years It was something that that happened in the mountains of Colorado before everything was legalized and so this was right Like I said years and years ago. I ran a half bongathon for charity Pretty much you know you buy your ticket and then Like I said years and years ago. I ran a half bong-a-thon for charity. Yeah, well, yeah, pretty much.

You buy your ticket and all that ticket goes to... It was a $50 ticket at the time and you got a free camping site, all the beer you could drink for free. And then there was thing called the Fu Bar and the Mush bar and the Coke bar and all this kind of thing. So there was all kinds of drugs at this place. All kinds of people. I'm talking to me, all kinds of race. I mean, it was a great time. No security.

It was a fucking fun time. People were all fucked up, having a great time. Just, you know what? We're out of the city. We're just having a great time. And during, okay, so it was a three-day process Sun Saturday Sunday Monday Sunday was actual bong-a-thon where you there was um, god damn it was I think it was 25

Contestants, but you had to pay a little bit more than your your your gate pass We'll take which they call the gate path to get you in there But you had to pay a little bit more. But you got this quarter ounce of this fucking incredible Belgium weed at the time. It was it was from the Amsterdam, all this stuff, you know, it was back, incredible shit. And you got a little toker tube bong. So during the bong upon itself, you had yourself and you can have one person that could clean and load this bong so my one of my friends I was with at the time the name is Hunter this this guy and him and I could both could smoke like no tomorrow but this guy could really fucking smoke his dope and and then we were all these

stories about gravity bongs and stuff fuck I got some gravity bong stories that it could go on forever Whole different stories. Okay Man, I've had guys pay a pat we made them out of 55 gallon drones and all that kind of crazy shit But anyways, so hunter goes, you know what? I'm gonna do two hits of acid because I could smoke so much Pot when I'm when I'm tripping on acid because I can't feel it. Solid reasoning.

Yeah. Yeah. It could do this. Well, turns out the acid that he took was windowpane acid and he took two and a half hits of this stuff. So that actually each windowpane is four hits. I'm not an acid. I never liked acid. I've taken it five times in my lifetime. I didn't like it because I'm, I think I'm too smart. I mean,

I mean too many, if you're a genius or if you're smart, you shouldn't be taking that stuff because your brain is just going to fucking make you go cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs, you know? Right. So anyway, anyway, yeah. Anyways, Hunter goes, yeah, I'm gonna do this. And we're like, oh, okay, Hunter. And so he does it. And we're going up to the,

we're going up to the actual Bongathon itself. Cause it was, it's a little area above the rest of the campground. Yeah. Yep. What's that? The dais. I'm sorry. The stage, the Bongathon stage-thon stage. May I interject

here Chris and just ask what was the point of the Bong-a-thon? Is it like smoke until you pass out? Is there a competition involved? Or is it just... How fast you can smoke that quarter ounce of weed. Oh I see, okay.. The fastest you can do it. They time it. Yeah, they time it. I see, I see. I'm sorry, I didn't tell you that. That's all right. Forgive me about that.

That's all right. Yeah, so yeah, you're supposed to smoke it as fast as you can, and there's people that timing it. So the faster you smoke it, then you get another, you get more than a quarter, you get a half ounce of that weed and a huge trophy and all that kind of stuff. Wow. The guys who...

That's like Joey Chestnut getting a truckload of hot dogs. Good job Joey! Oh God, not more dogs, not more dogs! For sure. So yeah, so and it's just a roped off area because we're all stoners. Right, yeah you don't need to have falder all. You just need bongs and people. Right, bongs, people, dogs, and a great time. It was almost like a wood stock, if you will, because there were so many different kinds of people there.

And there wasn't a fight, not a fight. Chris, I don't mean to be rude, but we are nearing the end of the hour. OK, I'll hurry up. Yeah. So I'm going to go quick. All right, so hunter gets in this this thing and By this time he's so fucking tripping out his ass off because he's on this this He's on like 12 hits a rattle

Not smart. He can't even figure out he can't even figure out how to suck a bong head anymore He is like he's looking at us like what am I doing and his the first his helper I we picked the wrong helper I should have been his helper because I would have told I want to slap in the face Hunter come on come on let's go start sucking but he was so freaking just going on acid he he couldn't remember his name. So we ended up having to carry him down and the person that won the Bongathon was another friend of ours who was right next to him.

And he sucked this shit down in 32 minutes. It was, and I'm telling you guys, I know you guys, I mean you smoke stuff, but this stuff was absolutely incredible. You took one of these buds, you could throw it against a wall or glass, you know, anything. It would stick. That's how much resonance it was on these. It was like a wall walker. Incredible shit, yeah. Yeah.

So, I mean, it's fucking, you know, you had judges that would look at your bong water to see how much green was down in the water. It was black. You're good This guy smoked the shit out of it. He almost we had it. I had hunter Yeah friend on my back and a friend almost on my shoulders walking down this hill. I'm a big guy. I'm six to 250 I think I told you the hunter is a little little smaller But I'm walking these guys down and they're just so fucking fucked up But the moral of the story is nobody got hurt they they all you know I think there was two kids conceived that night because they got so fucking

Girlfriend they had kids afterwards, so it was it was just a fucking fun fun fucking weekend and So it was it was just a fucking fun fun fucking weekend and uh Crazy time I can I I wish I had some more time cuz I have another one.

Just being old, though, just hearing all of it, I'm just like, oh my god. I mean, when I was young, that sounds like, oh yeah.

Now I just think, oh my god. Oh my god, where did I park? And wait, there was mud? Oh no. Wait, I lost my eye and I had to carry a dude who's tripping on acid? Oh my god. All right, I lost my eye and I had to carry a dude who's tripping on acid? Oh my god. All right, well we usually pick a favorite one here.
