oh man, I got a nice moon view.

*burps*

yeah, it's still a little cloudy out, but it's almost full.

Yes.

This evening we'll be Runtzing under a full moon or nearly full "runtzing"

. Kayt: Tonight we are smoking some

Total THC 20.01 thca, 21.9 zero C B D zero C B D a

two pack of Runtz.

Oh, fuck.

I can never, oh, I just, I opened it.

, Ooh.

Tastes pretty plain.

I mean, the joint itself smells kind of like sweet.

Like a Runts.

Like a Runts candy, sort of fruity sweet.

I don't think I've ever tried, oh, hacking my lung out while, on the air.

Oh, last night we were hacking pretty bad.

My

God.

I had every other breath I was like choking.

I still think.

Could that have been why you had a sore throat

? Dad: No, it wasn't that kinda,

I thought that for maybe a minute, but it hurt when I swallowed and it,

and it was like these glands felt.

So right here it was,

so you really did have a little bit of something going on.

I still got really a little sniffly happening, but

tastes kind of basic.

My throat doesn't hurt anymore like it did this morning.

My head,

that's good.

My head hurt.

I woke up a bunch of times last.

I just kept going back to sleep.

I should have got up and took an Advil.

Yeah.

I practically passed out again last night.

Well, it takes me a minute, you know?

Yeah.

I don't know about this taste so far.

It just tastes kind of like

pretty plain.

Yeah,

no real snap to it.

It's not very hot.

It's not.

Anything so far

tickled.

Pretty mild, although it could sneak up and kick us to the curb.

Yeah.

Wouldn't be the first time.

One of my new pair, so I ordered two pairs of house shoes.

This pair is dedicated.

Mm-hmm.

as.

stepping outside onto the porch.

Oh, they got a little thicker sole.

Yeah, they got a nice thick sole.

Oh, you'll find you'll be going out and getting in your car with those on.

Maybe

you won't think about it.

I've done that with this

because they look pretty like normal.

I see people walking around in regular house shoes for crying out loud,

but I don't wanna walk around the house, in the house shoes

that I've walked outside with.

That's why I got a separate pair for just house.

I don't like walking around the house in my,

well, they, they're house slippers.

Yeah.

You hear that folks.

Will not walk around in a house with house slippers.

Well, the house slippers that have touched outside.

Any contamination?

No.

Go.

That's just, well, we don't have shoes in the house,

so it's kind of the same point.

So these, I'm keeping right by the door, but

exit shoes.

The exit shoes for a quick.

Outing.

Okay.

This one's getting me a little bit now.

Other ones are more fluffy for just pure inside use.

Tiny squish mallows.

Squish mallow slippers.

That's what they're,

you don't even need holes for Your foot just molds right in.

Just step onto like chill it and.

I was thinking to myself, man, do they make these in adult sizes?

Hmm.

I hear, I was wonder and maybe they do, I love squish mallows.

remember my custom squish mallow, I got my little weed frog Zoot.

It had the little like weed leaf embroidery on the cute cheeks.

Oh.

And it had little bloodshot eyes.

Well, just cause you smoke weed don't mean your eyes are gonna go blood.

I know.

I'm just saying.

I'on know.

I My eyes get really bloodshot?

Well, you can't see mine unless you taking my glasses off.

Don't really.

Yeah.

I don't really look.

Mine do a little, that's why I keep the eye drops around.

check.

I used drops in a long.

I do sometimes, if,

I mean typically making

my eyes feel dry or like allergies,

typically people that would, you know, go smoke and then come

back in their eyes would be all glassy from the eye droplets.

Be super glassy.

Mm-hmm.

Damn.

Look how fast that cloud is going.

What are you smelling?

Are you smelling my drink?

It's like really fruity.

Some other odor.

I haven't figured it out yet.

I don't know.

Are you SBD in over there?

No.

I would tell you I haven't farted an at least,

no, that's.

Disclosure is typically not acknowledged because SBDs are deadly.

Well, Well, I mean, I would tell you right now if you asked me, did you

sbd, and I would say, nah, it wasn't me.

No, it wasn't me.

It wasn't me.

I would tell you

What's that star to the right of the moon?

That's odd.

Oh, I can use, use my star app.

I thought it was always to the left of the moon.

Well, the moon moves dad.

Yeah, but it's still

okay.

I'm gonna use my Sky Guide.

Oh shit.

It's Jupiter.

Oh, fuck yeah.

Yeah.

Jupiter's been in the sky for a while.

It's like the most obvious, like the brightest sort of

thing in the sky right now.

Other than the moon

Jupiter aligns with Mars.

I think you're smell, they're,

I think you're smelling the weed.

I think you're smelling the weed.

Mm-hmm?

I think you're smelling the weed.

It's an unusual odor.

I'm getting

Andromeda.

Do you know what the Andromeda strain is?

There's an Andromeda strain?

Yeah, there's a movie about it done in the sixties.

Oh, you mean like a viral strain?

I thought you were talking about weed.

Yeah

Weed??

The Andromeda strain was like a virus.

Oh yeah.

And if you elevated yourself like crying profusely without being able to

stop or laughing, I forget what they said.

Did something to the hormones like a baby crying non-stop.

Mm-hmm.

the virus would subside.

Well, we're sitting here smoking, talking about strains.

Of course, I'm gonna think is weed

That wouldn't be a pretty cool name for a.

Yeah, it would.

It would go with with Star Bud and Andromeda Space Cream or whatever it was.

The Andromeda Strain.

There are a lot of good Romulan.

There are a lot of good space names.

Yeah.

They put 'em out there once and they don't keep a continuous.

I do miss Romulan.

That shit was pretty good.

We haven't had that in ages.

I think that's empty.

I think that's what I've been smelling.

Oh, it's just burning off like the, the rest of that lantern oil, whatever.

I don't know.

It does.

Oh yeah.

Yeah.

I just smelled it when

you,

it's not a citronella smell.

Uh,

it doesn't exactly.

Smell like citronella.

It smells kind of like stale fart chemically.

No, I did not far.

I would tell you, maybe it's because you farted.

No, I said it smelled like it smells like a fart, but it ain't

No, we should refill it tomorrow.

There's, well, the thing is right.

Well, if you wanna do it in the dark, you'll definitely get it on your fingers.

Yeah, that's what I, I said tomorrow.

No, that matter how careful I am.

Always get a droplet on and then you gotta totally turbo wash your hands.

Or it smells

we'll, just we can fill it tomorrow.

I'm glad, I think this is gonna be a creeper or like, uh

oh.

It's starting to creep for me.

I hand't gotta,

I'm getting it in my, in my head.

. Dad: In my head.

My, in

my head.

In my head.

Head.

Zombie Runtz rock in my head.

In in my head.

Mm-hmm.

rods, that's.

You should know all these songs I like watching.

You know those shows.

The Voice, America's Got Talent.

You love those!

I just don't keep up with them.

Yeah.

America's Got Talent, the Voice and what's that other one with?

Katy Perry,

American Idol.

Mm-hmm.

I like that too.

That's all singing.

Yeah, it.

It's a competition.

I, I mean, I loved it when it first came out but then it's

just like, I like listening to the auditions, but I don't like what

they do with the singers at the end.

It's usually pretty like predatory contracts that they sign into,

like they own whoever wins.

for a little bit of time.

and in that It's almost done.

Well, why you giving it pack?

I don't know.

I'll fine.

I'll finish it.

I had taken a couple hits, so I was like, oh.

You know, what's the saying?

There is no jonesing we--.

Jones,

There is no such thing as Jonesin' around here.

Yeah, you're right.

I just get, I just think like, oh shit, how long have I had this for?

And I forget,

I don't, you know,

Oh, I don't know if trying to share singers get contracts.

I'm sure they do.

And depending on the contract they get, you know, most of 'em are gonna,

You know, pretty much a guaranteed million bucks in your pocket, which

maybe I don't,

for a young artist that'll be gone in a couple of years.

You know, you really gotta have like 10 million tucked away.

Well, some of them, because the bling goes to their head and they

bling out everything, and then they realize, damn, I can't afford

to pay the taxes on the house.

Cost as much as a house.

You gotta be smart when you come into that amount.

Or, yeah, I, there are some people who didn't win but ended up more

famous than, than the winners.

The winner.

Yep.

Yep.

Well, when you get people on that show that they're unknowns, really

for the most part, there are some that are, had their chance and for

whatever reason, failed or blew it or.

Mm-hmm.

, you know, their golden opportunity in most cases, it's about the money.

It goes to their head and they, they think, you know, they don't

think about how much it's gonna cost for all the shit you're buying

that you don't ever even use.

Why have a, you know, a 20 bedroom house for crying out.

I mean, yeah, I'd rather go buy 10,000 acres of land.

And grow trees for lumber, you know?

Mm-hmm.

I mean, trees for lumber or your own food, like have a really sweet garden.

Yeah, there's, there can be good money in agriculture,

but it's almost impossible for the small farmer to succeed.

It's continually such a mental struggle.

People just give up and walk away from everything.

They just walk away cause they just can't.

They can't sell that apple for 3 cents because they don't own a billion apples.

They only own a thousand apples.

no, but Everybody around The world needs the same shit we do.

Mm.

But it sure seems some of these other places have a much better

quality of life and it don't cost you a fucking fortune for shit.

Yep.

You know,

there are a lot of places like that.

I mean,

I'd rather

not here.

I'd rather my dollar be worth a hundred dollars.

That's fantastic buying value,

but.

I've had to fill up the car today and I think I got like maybe

16 gallons, 15 something and

160 bucks.

No, it was actually like $86 maybe.

I don't remember how much I filled it up, but it was like $6 a, a.

It was like five 20 or five, no, like five 80 a gallon.

It was just like shit.

I mean, damn.

I'm glad that I don't burn up a tank very quickly, but still.

Well, there again,

it's

rough, right?

Needs to cool down That last bump.

Oh yeah.

Tore a hole in my lung.

It got really hot, really fast.

Felt the kidney coming up.

The throat,

it's, it's pretty simple.

It was just too much capitalism.

You can have a lot of shit and benefits and, and pay people a

decent wage that want to go to work.

make a little money and you know, participate, but you

shouldn't have to do that.

We have no choices.

We're not free.

Nowhere are you free anymore when you think about it.

Government controls every aspect

of your life.

It's just about not that you're not doing anything,

you're probably creating art.

Or contributing in some other way to society.

If people can go help others because they got to A the time, B

they're bored, C they enjoy it, go hang out, smoke a joint, do this or that.

Work a garden where you know,

many people would benefit from,

I mean, think about it, if our garden really kicked fucking ass, could take

in a bushel of fresh tomatoes to work.

Okay, guys, here, you gonna line up fresh out the garden?

Yeah.

No, it's, it's a matter of like,

just being able to, to do what we love to do and.

Be productive to society in whatever way that we're able to.

Doesn't mean that they can't and don't want to, to do something,

create something, work on something, but they're not given the chance.

Well, no.

The chance is there is just the cost of doing it is prohibitive, you can't do it,

that's, it's called inaccessible.

It is not accessible to people who have to do things a little differently.

Well, who's the

first millionaire?

Surely a trillionaire out.

numbers are just numbers are, they start to get really big

and then I'm like, oh, I, I don't,

this could be one of a hundred in existence.

This umbrella stand?

Could make it worth

What??

12 grand?

Because there's only a hundred of them,

but it's just made out of like, like aluminum.

And it piece of plastic

at the bottom.

Right.

All recycled material.

A hundred percent recycled material, reused to make new thing.

No, they only produced a hundred of them, which means every day

from the in manufacturing date, they become more valuable.

In a hundred years, people would die to have a half umbrella.

What

of the sun,

you mean?

Maybe a hundred years.

Oh yeah.

Because of the sun and who knows how to make a damn umbrella.

No, what?

Think about the engineering that goes into it.

Yeah.

Takes a little bit of patient thought, then the time to actually,

there's tension and it's physics.

I mean, what, you know, getting rained on is what drove Mr.

Umbrella to create the umbrella.

John Umbrella.

a William or Bill or something.

Umbrella.

Well, that's the same

name.

Or it could have been, or it could have been . It could have

been a lady doesn't have to be a.

Could be.

It could been on Alice.

Could be, yeah.

What's that tune about Alice?

Go.

Isn't that Jefferson Airplane?

No.

Yes it is.

Artho Gulch.

No.

Arlo Guthrie.

No.

That was totally Jefferson Airplane.

Nope.

Arlo Guthrie.

White Rabbit chasing rabbit.

I was gonna, dun, dun, dun dun dun dun.

Be tall

that has to be, that has to be Jefferson Airplane.

I'm looking

Arlo Guthrie.

I'm looking it up right now.

I'm probably wrong

Now you're doubting yourself cuz I'm straight up, uh, looking.

Looking and, uh, looking it up right now.

White Rabbit, Jefferson Airplane,

I don't know why I thought it was Arlo Guthrie.

It's such a good song.

I fucked around and I went out, got in the light.

I was here.

They had to have been pretty fucked up when they wrote that.

It's based on Alice.

Alice, like Alice in Wonderland.

Oh fuck.

Caution.

You are in like hefty duty rocker over there.

Caution is advised . Caution is advised.

Oh,

I was rocking out though.

. Yeah,

. It was like it.

Oh my gosh.

Yeah, I ripped that way too hard.

Yeah.

I'm glad it wasn't windy.

Oh, it'd be unbearable out here.

We don't have a little hidey somewhere else.

That's a wind break.

Be snowin' it out here.

We're under the deck.

Get a little fire going

under the deck.

Under the deck.

I don't know.

I wouldn't go under there.

Well, you're sitting in a beach chair or something.

One of those little squatty chairs is too low to sit in a

chair like this under there.

I don't know.

I'd be too creeped out by everything underneath here.

nothing but dirt rocks

I mean under the.

Oh, overhead.

Yeah, overhead.

Bottom of the board.

Critters.

Maybe not in the winter,

but

we get it.

One of those you break out.

My turbo heater.

I've got one of those little shop heater things.

Well, we gotta be careful on these boards.

We'd melt it.

We

made out of plastic

. Dad: We just step away for a second.

Come back and it's so bad.

That would be so, no, they, it points.

It points up.

Yeah.

We just have to little bit.

We just have to put the fire pit down on the concrete.

I mean, it's not as nice as the view here,

but we could safely put

even about the view.

It's just being able to sit out and on the porch, smoke a fat one or two, and

you know, have a nice cup of coffee.

Or usually I don't do beverage.

I have to

it depends.

sometimes.

I have to my throat always gets scorched.

Yeah.

Whoa.

Holy shit.

Look how it's clearing up.

Look at how, look at the moonlight on the edge of the cloud.

That's fucking cool.

It is kinda, it's like a clear window.

But I can barely get a glimpse of any stars.

There's a couple, I mean, there's, there's

freaking Andromeda up there.

Yeah.

The virus planet.

No, it's a Galaxy.

Wow.

That looks so cool.

Oh, that's like when, who was that, who was inside the metal sphere and the

door was closing and Scotty parked his ship to keep the doors open and beamed

out as the Enterprise flew sideway through the between the closing doors.

Looks so cool.

Look how white this is.

Reflecting the moon.

The gray area is such.

. A lot of water saturation.

This area here.

I know, that's why I'm surprised it's not raining.

Well, the moon's right there.

Mm-hmm.

you know.

Now what's gonna be cool is if we see a cloud formation twirling like a,

they're going so fast.

No.

Making rotations like we are looking at the top of a hurricane.

Oh, that'd be.

And you see the spiral.

Look at how fast they're going.

How much you reckon, how much water's in that cloud right there?

Lot at eight and a half pounds a gallon.

Damn.

How can it float?

Well, it's spread out.

How can it fucking float?

Well, it's spread out.

It's a cloud.

Think about it.

How many millions of gallons of water it's in is in there?

It's in like vapor, more vapor.

It can be suspended cuz of the air or some shit.

I don't know.

I mean what, just one ponder.

No, it's not about pondering.

People know for a fact how it works.

Yeah.

Those clouds have water in it and water weighs.

Eight and a half pounds per gallon.

Okay.

We're getting.

We're gonna Google this,

Google it

or ask Jeeves as you say,

look, there's the moon peeking through and Jupiter peeking through.

Oh, damn.

Jupiter's gone.

The moon's still,

How do clouds float.

See, I'm not the only person who, okay, it says the water and ice

particles in the clouds we see are too small to feel the effects of gravity.

Clouds appear to float on air.

The droplets in a cloud are small, very small.

It may only be 20 micrometers across that's about half as wide as a human hair.

So basically water droplets in the air behave similar to how dust

behaves, how it kind of floats, and then there's a constant flow of

warm air rising to meet the cloud.

So there's warm air helping to hold it up.

It's helping to hold the cloud.

Thanks Jeeves,

well a lot of people wouldn't even put two and two

together with the Jeeves thing.

Cause I mean how many people still know, like you get a bunch of

like the gen, whatever the fuck, gen Z.

Young kids being like, what's that?

What's Ask Jeeves?

I mean, if you think about it, it's the same software as whatever

it's being called now today.

well, must be very similar.

Let's,

or Google.

Google.

Yeah, it's getting kind of cold now.

Whoa.

There's Jupiter.

Jupiter Bright.

Yeah.

That's weird how it really shot a hole in space there.

Yeah.

Moon looks brighter too.

Whoa, there.

Look at that.

That would be a pretty cool telescope shot.

Damn, that's so bright.

You get a real close up of the moons.

We could sketch in You and I sit on the moon in a half umbrella.

Two stick characters and

yeah, we're looking at each other.

You know, smoking a jay, they're looking at us.

We're looking at,

on Jupiter, they're chillin'.

That's why it looks like a gas giant.

It's a freaking hot box planet.

It's all the smoke.

People are exhaling from the good weed.

Jupiter

weed.

We're supposed to be on Jupiter!

What would our anatomy be living on?

Jupiter would have to be ginormously giant

or we'd be like light entities or something.

Yeah.

What is it?

Like a thousand mile an hour winds or something?

Yeah

like a dozen hurricanes is one of their hurricanes as big as our planet.

Yeah.

The red spot is like a wind storm.

Like bigger.

Yeah.

That's wild.

Whoa.

Those clouds.

Makes them look like they lit from the top.

Yeah, they look

so, and with the

see the moons reflecting above these clouds, that's why they look so.

It looks like an alligator.

Oh, I gotta go in.

Yeah, it's time.

Throat is blasted.

Well, you're over there acting like all Bonnie Raitt.

And shit rocking, rocking out, sucking it back.

I was, it was so, I don't know.

I was really vibing with that song.

I was really vibin.

Yeah.

You sucked half a joint down in one hit.

I know.

And then it expanded eight times as fast and your eyes went boom.

All right.

Thanks guys.

See you next time.

Follow us on social media.

Fam Potluck.

Yeah.

ciao.

Baby.

What did you say?

I said yeah, ciao baby.

I'm outta here.
