0:00 Pablo Torre? This episode is brought to you by Apollo.io. A lot of the stories on this show start the same way. Something that looks pretty simple turns out to be a mess once you look under the hood. Well, it's no different in the sales world. Your team has a tool for finding prospects, a different tool for reaching out to them, and a third for keeping track of it all. On paper, that's a system. In practice, it's a salesperson spending the better part of the day copying names from one tab into another and not much of it actually selling. Apollo.io is a platform that helps sales teams find the right buyers and reach out to them. It brings prospecting, outreach, and follow-up into one place instead of several separate tools. It's used by sales teams of all sizes,
0:44 Pablo Torre? from small businesses to larger organizations, and it's built for teams who want less manual busywork and more time with buyers. If your marketing and sales teams are trying to work from the same view of the customer, it's worth a look. Sign up for free at Apollo.io. That's Apollo.io. This episode of Apollo Torrey Finds Out is brought to you by McDonald's. The Quarter Pounder with Cheese with Medium Fries and a Drink is now $8. And look, I've chased down a lot of strange stories, but nothing quite like what's inside a Quarter Pounder with Cheese. It is 100% fresh beef cooked right when you order it with no artificial flavors, colors, fillers, or preservatives in the beef. The onions are hand-topped by someone who knows the perfect amount by memory.
1:28 Pablo Torre? Two slices of cheese and a star, and two pickles side by side. So every bite gets both. And every time one's ordered, a cowbell sound rings in the kitchen. That's the grill master's cue to put a fresh patty on the grill. My move? QPC, fries and a drink after a long day of recording. That is my happy place. The Quarter Pounder with Cheese with Fries and a Drink, now $8 for a limited time only, only at McDonald's. For a limited time only. Prices and participation may vary. Prices may be higher in Hawaii, Alaska, and California. And for delivery, fresh beef not available in Alaska and Hawaii. Offer not valid for delivery.

2:56 Speaker 01 Welcome to Pablo Torre Finds Out. I am Pablo Torre, and today we're going to find out what this sound is.
3:02 Speaker 02 Man, this sucks now.
3:05 Speaker 01 Right after this ad.
3:07 Speaker 03 You're listening to Giraffe Kings Network.
3:23 Speaker 03 Hey, stop thinking about getting up because getting up's not an option, Myrtle. Once this starts, you're here.
3:28 Pablo Torre? You're locked in, you fat sausage.
3:30 Speaker 01 Are we rolling?
3:31 Speaker 03 If there's one thing I know about this podcast, it's always rolling.
3:35 Speaker 01 Um, we haven't done this ever before.
3:37 Speaker 03 It's so funny being in your own house at 9:30 at night in your comfy clothes, doing a podcast.
3:44 Speaker 01 This is wildly invasive. I've never put my feet up on someone's, is this okay?
3:49 Speaker 03 Yeah, it's great. That's actually exactly how Myrtle sits on it.
3:52 Speaker 01 Katie, Dan, Myrtle, thanks for having us.
3:56 Speaker 03 Yeah.
3:57 Speaker 01 Is Myrtle okay with what we're about to do here?
3:59 Speaker 03 We're gonna find out. We're hoping she kind of just is chill about this.
4:03 Speaker 02 She's been around pots since she was a puppy.
4:05 Speaker 03 Yeah, she does. When Dan goes away, and she misses him a lot, and somebody in the streets smells like weed, she reacts to them like, is that Dad? It's like, no, it's just another person who smokes weed.
4:18 Speaker 01 That brings us to what we're doing here. We were supposed to do this a while back.
4:24 Pablo Torre? And then Dan went on a journey of self-discovery.
4:26 Speaker 02 I did. I did a, what a lot of potheads refer to as a tolerance break. Where you quit smoking pot. I, however, had never done one, so it was my first tolerance break ever. It lasted about two and a half months.
4:41 Pablo Torre? Yeah.
4:42 Speaker 02 And here we are.
4:43 Pablo Torre? So, quick recap of your tolerance break.
4:47 Speaker 02 Yeah.
4:48 Pablo Torre? What's the, how was it? How many stars would you give it?
4:52 Speaker 02 Four out of five. There were some things that were lacking, but overall, needed to do it, did it, glad I did it. Might do it again.
5:01 Speaker 02 Um, but glad to be back smoking weed.
5:04 Pablo Torre? I want to know about what it was like to end the break, because we're, we're taping this at a time when you have reintegrated into polite weed society.
5:12 Speaker 02 So, the first hit I took was with Katie on a holiday weekend and we were, she was like, "It's a long weekend. You've done very good the last two and a half months. Have a..."
5:24 Speaker 03 Because you were supposed to break it the next week, but you were gonna be on the road.
5:28 Speaker 02 Yeah. And so you were like, "Why not just do it here?" So, I had a hit. We love watching Pierce Brosnan's James Bond movies, because they're horrible. They did not age well.
5:40 Pablo Torre? How dare you speak upon GoldenEye in such a fashion?
5:43 Speaker 03 I thought so too, and then I watched it and I was like, "My goodness."
5:46 Speaker 02 Go watch Tomorrow Never Dies.
5:47 Speaker 03 They're, they're fun. They're certainly fun.
5:49 Speaker 02 They're fun.
5:50 Speaker 03 When he bites what's-her-face.
5:51 Pablo Torre? Xenia on a top? Or is that?
5:53 Speaker 03 No, I'm thinking of Terry Hatcher.
5:55 Speaker 02 Yeah.
5:55 Speaker 03 When he bites her lip.
5:56 Speaker 02 While they're kissing.
5:57 Speaker 03 Wild.
5:58 Speaker 02 Such a passionate kiss.
5:59 Speaker 03 Wild.
6:01 Speaker 02 So I took a hit and we watched Tomorrow Never Dies and it was beautiful.
6:07 Speaker 03 Mm.
6:08 Speaker 02 It was very fun. And then I went and got my haircut.
6:12 Speaker 03 Oh my god. Oh my god.
6:14 Speaker 02 And, um... Got out of getting a haircut and noticed that, oh, this is usually when Big Jay and the Bonfire Boys are hanging outside Sirius. And I called him, he's like, yeah, come and hang out. And Jay has these joints that are little mini joints dipped in keef.
6:30 Speaker 03 You ever seen these? They're like joints dipped in more joints and you're like, I don't think.
6:33 Pablo Torre? We heard you like joints, so we put some joints in your joints.
6:35 Speaker 02 And then we put more joint in the joint and then rolled it in joint. And Jay was like, hey, smoke this joint. I was like, I'm kinda back. And I smoked a whole joint with him in front of Sirius. And then they were like, alright, we're going upstairs. And I was like, oh no. And I had a very scared subway ride back here. And I came in the house and immediately went, Katie, it happened so fast, but I'm real fucked up.
7:00 Speaker 03 He came in and he was like, I was smoking like I used to smoke. And then they left and all of a sudden I'm on the train and I realized, I'm alone and I'm very, very high.
7:11 Speaker 02 Yeah.
7:12 Speaker 03 You looked very, you came in like the world had just happened to you. It was very scared.
7:15 Speaker 02 It was nuts.
7:16 Pablo Torre? When was the last time you had felt like that before then?
7:20 Speaker 02 High school or college. I got high around 4:30 and I was high the rest of the day without smoking anymore. I was just like smacked.
7:31 Pablo Torre? And wasn't, on some level, wasn't that glorious though?
7:35 Speaker 02 It was, I went through so many emotions. First off, I got my haircut. Getting high and looking at.
7:40 Pablo Torre? What's a stoned haircut?
7:42 Speaker 02 You just go, no, no, no, put it all back. But then I got here and I was like, I'm gonna take a shower. Cause a high shower rules. And we ran out of hot water.
7:52 Speaker 03 Unless you need to shave your legs.
7:53 Speaker 02 Yeah. And it was, it was a good shower until the, the water went cold and then it sucked.
7:58 Speaker 03 Yeah.
7:59 Speaker 02 But it was great. Overall, experience, seven out of 10.
8:02 Speaker 03 Nice.
8:03 Speaker 02 Don't know if I'd do it again because of the subway ride. I didn't know which, I was so high, I didn't know which arm to grab the bar with. I was like, does this look normal?
8:10 Pablo Torre? I just started palming the ceiling.
8:13 Speaker 02 Or you don't know when to move when people get off the subway and how to get back into your position? It's a delicate dance that you forget. And then when you're high, you see all the steps.
8:22 Speaker 03 So he's back.
8:23 Speaker 02 I'm back.
8:24 Pablo Torre? Which means that we can do the thing that I wanted to do when I learned you were on this journey of self-discovery.
8:28 Speaker 02 Hence, the bag of Cheetos and pizzas in the kitchen.
8:31 Pablo Torre? Yes.

12:46 Speaker 02 Are you gonna lay it out on the table?
12:48 Pablo Torre? I think we should.
12:49 Speaker 02 Yes.
12:49 Speaker 03 Okay. Like when cops sees it?
12:52 Speaker 02 We'll take a bust photo.
12:54 Speaker 03 Yeah.
12:54 Pablo Torre? That's right. So we begin...
12:56 Speaker 03 Yeah. The best one.
12:57 Speaker 02 The glove!
12:58 Pablo Torre? The glove. Gary Payton.
12:59 Speaker 02 My favorite strain of weed.
13:01 Speaker 03 Yeah.
13:02 Speaker 02 Outside of Golden Goat is Gary Payton.
13:05 Pablo Torre? So I guess what we'll do on this episode is we will sort of introduce these things one by one.
13:09 Speaker 02 Sure.
13:10 Pablo Torre? And we'll sample them in ways that are definitely legal.
13:13 Speaker 02 Well, weed know Gary Payton.
13:15 Pablo Torre? Yeah.
13:15 Speaker 02 So maybe...
13:16 Pablo Torre? Last?
13:17 Speaker 02 We could do that last, as we know it is very good.
13:19 Pablo Torre? Yes. Yes, yes, yes.
13:21 Speaker 03 Yeah, and how many weeds do you have?
13:23 Pablo Torre? How many weeds?
13:24 Speaker 03 We're gonna smoke 18 weeds is crazy.
13:31 Pablo Torre? This? So this is a cannabis pre-roll on the label. Magic John Stoned.
13:39 Speaker 02 Magic John Stoned. Love the parody.
13:41 Speaker 03 And so he has signed off on that?
13:43 Pablo Torre? Undoubtedly not.
13:44 Speaker 03 Okay, okay. I thought these were like, the athletes are cool with it. Cause I assume Gary Payton's cool with Gary Payton.
13:50 Pablo Torre? Yeah, I believe so. I believe so. I don't know if Carmelo Anthony has co-signed this.
13:57 Speaker 02 Mellow. It better be an indica.
13:59 Pablo Torre? It is a hybrid.
14:01 Speaker 03 Huh.
14:02 Speaker 02 Here's the deal. For those of you that don't know about weed, sativa's a head high, indica's a body high. Indica tends to be more mellow, hence why you would call it mellow.
14:13 Pablo Torre? Have you guys seen...
14:16 Speaker 03 They all look like little ice creams.
14:17 Pablo Torre? Pac-Man Jones weed.
14:18 Speaker 02 Now, I know Pac-Man signs off on this, cause it's through Cookies.
14:21 Pablo Torre? Yes, correct. And he has a whole like graphic on the top, an illustration where he's holding bags of weed.
14:28 Speaker 02 Can I tell you right now? That might be the one I'm most excited for.
14:33 Pablo Torre? So I think we should start with Pac-Man.
14:35 Speaker 02 This is great.
14:36 Speaker 03 Oh, this is what we have. I thought you had like so much more.
14:38 Pablo Torre? Oh, we have a list of things that we tried to get.
14:41 Speaker 03 Oh, okay.
14:42 Pablo Torre? We had to...
14:42 Speaker 03 This makes me feel so much better. This whole time I thought we were doing like 17 of these.
14:46 Speaker 02 Yeah.
14:46 Pablo Torre? Oh, I wish.
14:47 Speaker 03 I was very worried.
14:48 Speaker 02 I was gonna prepare the bed for Katie just to land in at the end of the party.
14:51 Speaker 03 Yeah, this isn't gonna go well for me. I don't smoke that much weed throughout the night. I like to smoke weed at night, but I usually do like a hit or two and then I'm good for an hour or two. And then maybe I'll take another hit if we're doing a Rocket League tournament.
15:06 Speaker 03 Yeah, smells good.
15:07 Speaker 02 Smells good, guys.
15:08 Speaker 03 He's told me, he's convinced me that if it smells good to you, it won't give you a bad high. If you don't like the smell of it, it will give you a bad high. Um, but if you like the smell of it, you'll be fine.
15:20 Speaker 02 That's what, that's an old, that's an old, that's old stoner myth. But I, I've, I've gone by that since I was a wee boy.
15:27 Speaker 03 That's why we got rid of that. One of them was named after a perfume once and you were like, get that out of the house. I do not like it.
15:31 Speaker 02 Yeah.
15:32 Pablo Torre? This is one of those rules, like how Dan thinks that vase and vase are two different things.
15:35 Speaker 02 No, this isn't.
15:36 Speaker 03 These are the things that under our roof, Pablo, you just have to accept are the way that things are.
15:41 Speaker 02 Number one, vase and vase was just information given to me. Sir, I have spent my Malcolm Gladwell 10,000 hours smoking marijuana.
15:50 Pablo Torre? Debonked theory has a related story.
15:52 Speaker 02 Put in the reps for marijuana. The vase vase thing, that's just some bull**** pulled out the back of my head. This?
16:00 Speaker 02 It's pretty shaky science, but it's still, it's science.
16:03 Speaker 03 We still go by it.
16:04 Speaker 02 Myrtle, what do you think? She loves Pac-Man.
16:08 Speaker 03 She's just, to be clear, we're not, the dog's not doing any drugs.
16:11 Speaker 02 No.
16:11 Speaker 03 Don't call PETA.
16:12 Pablo Torre? Definitely not.
16:12 Speaker 03 She's just here. She's on her own drugs, actually.
16:15 Speaker 02 But if you see some of the dogs that she hangs out with at the dog park, say she kinda had a joint in her corner of her ear the whole time. They think she's cool. She, she wants to do it for the, for the dogs at the park.
16:27 Speaker 03 That's right. Alright, so we're starting with Pac-Man?
16:30 Pablo Torre? We're starting with Pac-Man, but I do wanna give a special shout out to some strains that I wanted to
16:36 Speaker 03 Let's hear them.
16:37 Pablo Torre? to get for you, but could not.
16:38 Speaker 02 Honorable mention.
16:38 Speaker 03 Mm-hmm.
16:39 Pablo Torre? Yeah, uh, Michael Phelps OG.
16:41 Speaker 02 I like that because that guy's lung capacity is incredible and he also pushes therapy, which
16:47 Speaker 03 I was gonna say, he's depressed, so.
16:49 Speaker 02 That's what I mean. Mentally, he's been
16:51 Speaker 03 Yeah.
16:52 Speaker 02 Places that I'm like, where's your weed like?
16:54 Pablo Torre? I would like to see Michael Phelps hit a gravity bong.
16:57 Speaker 03 Hmm.
16:57 Speaker 02 Yeah, I bet he could clear it.
16:59 Pablo Torre? Peyton Manning.
17:01 Speaker 03 What the f***? No.
17:03 Pablo Torre? So, uh, according to the summary, it popped up around 2013, uh, when he was with the Denver Broncos.
17:08 Speaker 02 Yeah.
17:09 Pablo Torre? Um, it was reportedly a cross between ChemDog91 and San Fernando Valley OG.
17:15 Speaker 02 Okay.
17:15 Pablo Torre? Um, but it's just super rare.
17:17 Speaker 03 Mean anything to you?
17:18 Pablo Torre? Super rare.
17:19 Speaker 02 It's super rare to get that?
17:21 Pablo Torre? Apparently.
17:22 Speaker 02 You wonder if Peyton's got it, like, at home? He's like, "Do you want something hard to find Peyton Manning weed?"
17:27 Pablo Torre? I bet Peyton Manning litigated the intellectual property behind Peyton Manning OG.
17:33 Speaker 02 Absolutely. Bet it helped his neck, too.
17:37 Speaker 02 He'd be like, "I could throw a football."
17:38 Pablo Torre? So Ricky Williams has something called "The Heisman."
17:42 Speaker 02 That's the weed.
17:43 Speaker 03 I mean, we should be doing that. Why aren't we smoking that?
17:45 Speaker 02 That's the weed you want. You want the guy that his career took a hit, because he was taking hits, but you want Ricky. Ricky Williams is, I probably, that is our ideal...
17:57 Speaker 03 And "The Heisman" is a great name.
17:58 Pablo Torre? It's a great name.
17:59 Speaker 03 Yeah. What happened? Why couldn't you get that?
18:01 Pablo Torre? Journalistic integrity. So Ricky Williams is a friend of Metal Arc Media.
18:05 Speaker 03 Yeah.
18:06 Pablo Torre? And so we said, "We cannot," like, much like a chef, uh, who's friends with, uh, you know, Pete Wells at the New York Times, you gotta, you gotta draw boundaries. Like, it would be unfair for me to to appraise his product.
18:18 Speaker 03 Yeah, I'm not his friend, so you could have brought that weed for us.
18:21 Speaker 02 Katie and I have never met him, and I wanna try Ricky Williams' weed.
18:26 Speaker 03 Yeah, I don't see why that's happening. That feels kinda like a selfish diss... It's okay, but we let you into our home.
18:31 Pablo Torre? That's the difference between...
18:31 Speaker 03 Feels like you could have left us with a little bit of Heisman as, like, a parting gift.
18:35 Speaker 02 You could have been like, "Hey, I'm getting out of here," and gone like this. Take that.
18:38 Speaker 03 Oh, that would've been great. That would've been great. Next time, we should script your entrance and your exit.
18:42 Pablo Torre? Yeah. Um, this is called journalism.
18:46 Speaker 02 Yeah.
18:48 Speaker 03 Well, I hate it.
18:49 Pablo Torre? So, the one that I have been hunting for that I could not find, but I did do reporting around... Is Linsanity OG.
18:57 Speaker 02 I mean, that is.
18:59 Pablo Torre? So Linsanity OG, which popped up in 2012.
19:03 Speaker 02 Yeah.
19:03 Pablo Torre? In California during Linsanity. I first saw it because Rick Ross had posted a photo of it on Instagram. And I've been tracking it ever since. I know this for a fact. Jeremy, Jeremy Lin, I reached out to him. He had litigated this. He had wanted this to not be called Linsanity OG.
19:22 Speaker 02 Oh.
19:23 Pablo Torre? For copyright reasons. And so I ended up emailing a rapper, Stalli, former college basketball player himself. He was tagged into Rick Ross Instagram. And so I asked him for a review of it. He said, "It's an OG, so it's strong, but it tastes clean and sweet. Gives you a heavier high. It'll have you stuck for a minute, but once it sits with you for a while, it brings out the creative juices that allow you to work diligently."
19:49 Speaker 03 Whoa.
19:50 Speaker 02 Good write-up.
19:51 Speaker 03 Really good write-up.
19:52 Pablo Torre? And he did not make a joke about how it only lasts for like two weeks and then it gets real bad.
19:56 Speaker 03 Nice.
19:57 Pablo Torre? Which I appreciate it.
19:57 Speaker 03 Nice.
19:58 Pablo Torre? So I think we should.
20:00 Speaker 02 Start with Pac-Man.
20:00 Pablo Torre? Start with Pac-Man. So what are the rules here?
20:03 Speaker 03 Okay, well, so we smoke usually. We lean out the window of our office. The, you know, New York City apartment, the window only opens so much.
20:12 Speaker 02 Enough to get your head out of the window to blow it out.
20:15 Speaker 03 Smoke out because we don't want to get kicked out of our apartment. We like it here.
20:18 Speaker 02 But we're gonna load a bowl of Pac-Man. Each of us take two hits.
20:24 Pablo Torre? Yeah.
20:25 Speaker 02 See how we're feeling.
20:25 Speaker 03 We have the capability, this, I suggested that we play Rocket League because that's when I know if my high is hitting. And we have the ability to do that here. So it's an option.
20:37 Speaker 02 We do. That will be a six-hour podcast.
20:39 Pablo Torre? We're doing a weed quadrathlon.
20:42 Speaker 02 Do we want to vote on order right now? I feel like.
20:46 Pablo Torre? Snake draft?
20:47 Speaker 02 I figure we go Pac-Man, Magic Johnstone, Mellow, Close With The Glove.
20:55 Pablo Torre? Yeah.
20:55 Speaker 02 Because we know how good Gary Payton is.
20:57 Pablo Torre? We know it's gonna fit.
20:59 Speaker 02 It, lockdown. Let's go smoke this Pac-Man Jones.
21:04 Speaker 03 Okay. Myrtle's like, "And I'm gonna take a nap."
21:06 Pablo Torre? Yeah.
21:07 Speaker 03 A Napman Jones.
21:17 Pablo Torre? I really enjoyed that.
21:19 Speaker 03 I can tell.
21:20 Speaker 02 Yeah.
21:21 Pablo Torre? That's not what you want to hear.
21:23 Speaker 02 Um, here's the Myrtle Pipe. Myrtle Pipe rules.
21:27 Pablo Torre? The pipe is-
21:27 Speaker 03 I'm gonna zoom in on it. Can you guys zoom in? I don't know, there's so many cameras in this tiny apartment right now. Very overwhelming.
21:34 Speaker 02 You guys can see, you guys can get the shot. Um, loved it. Tastes really good.
21:39 Speaker 03 Yeah, I like it a lot. I like it quite, I'm really sorry for my behavior in this podcast. The eating on Mike, I would hate to- I'm really sorry.
21:49 Pablo Torre? That was the right move though, right?
21:50 Speaker 03 You have to understand, I'm in my apartment and I'm really high. And that was what I was supposed to do.
21:55 Speaker 02 And also-
21:56 Speaker 03 That was the assignment. I understood it.
21:58 Speaker 02 It's for health reasons. For brain health reasons, you're eating.
22:02 Speaker 03 Yeah, you don't want to meet the Katie that is not, hasn't had any food and is high on nice weed.
22:07 Speaker 02 Just violent.
22:08 Speaker 03 Ugh, no.
22:09 Speaker 02 I know.
22:10 Speaker 03 Usually I curl up into a tiny ball.
22:12 Speaker 02 So violent.
22:13 Speaker 03 And then I go like, so Katie's in bed.
22:14 Pablo Torre? Yeah, what are the, what are the stages that you're afraid of?
22:17 Speaker 02 We come back from the third one and we go, okay, so we're on cry patrol.
22:21 Pablo Torre? Where's cry patrol on the terror alert scale of Katie Nolan and Stone?
22:24 Speaker 03 I don't really cry. I don't cry unless I'm like having a bad one. And that's happened maybe three times to us.
22:31 Speaker 02 Yeah, we've been together for five years and I've only seen her have a bad one once.
22:35 Speaker 03 Try not to chew in the mic. No, you've seen me twice. Definitely at least.
22:39 Speaker 02 But-
22:40 Speaker 03 I also passed out once.
22:41 Speaker 02 That was in Nashville. That was nuts. Um, where do you go bad wise?
22:46 Pablo Torre? Yeah, so I-
22:47 Speaker 03 Let's do this. Let's get high and talk about when it goes bad.
22:51 Speaker 03 Always the best way to make sure it goes good.
22:53 Pablo Torre? Here, here's a question that I think, uh, Pac-Man Jones will inspire.
22:58 Speaker 03 Yeah.
22:58 Pablo Torre? Um, when does like the Notes app come out?
23:02 Speaker 03 Oh, that's if Dan's in the other room. Playing a video game that I've already annoyed him a couple too many times. I've already come in and gone, hey, so I was thinking about, and he's like trying to, I don't know, whatever it is you do, college football, put pants on wrestlers.
23:15 Speaker 02 Maybe, maybe pants on wrestlers, maybe I'm trying to get a-
23:17 Speaker 03 The amount of times I've watched him be like putting highlighters in a wrestler's hair.
23:22 Pablo Torre? Wait, what?
23:23 Speaker 03 You can customize your wrestler, and he loves Kenny Omega. And so there was a game that did shut up, am I embarrassing you?
23:29 Speaker 02 You're talking about one time, yeah. Cause you're talking about it like I'm in there obsessively doing this.
23:33 Speaker 03 One time that I came out and he was putting highlights-
23:37 Speaker 02 I was giving him some blonde, giving him some blonde frosted tips.
23:40 Speaker 03 I'm just saying what happened.
23:41 Speaker 02 Seth Rollins in The Shield.
23:42 Speaker 03 No, it was absolutely Kenny Omega. I watched you stress over this Kenny Omega, yeah, because that **** guy's gonna take you from me.
23:49 Speaker 02 He is.
23:50 Speaker 03 Um, anyway.
23:51 Speaker 02 The best bout machine.
23:52 Speaker 03 If I've gone into annoy Dan, if I feel I've gone into annoy Dan too much, then I'm like, no, on this thought, I shouldn't let it go. That's when the Notes app comes out, cause that's when I'm like, maybe later when I don't have anything to say to Dan, I'll tell him this, like I ever opened my Notes app later looking to tell you stuff. But there's a lot in there. What happens when you die to your Notes app? Is, like legally, does it go to Dan?
24:15 Pablo Torre? It's a thing you type into your Notes app. What happens to your Notes app when you die?
24:19 Speaker 02 I think legally, they can't go through your Notes app.
24:21 Speaker 03 But I'm saying, can you?
24:23 Speaker 02 I think so.
24:24 Speaker 03 You're gonna want to.
24:25 Speaker 02 Okay.
24:27 Speaker 03 There's good stuff, I think there is good stuff in there. I also think there's garbage in there, but there's like-
24:33 Pablo Torre? Some of the best stuff that I've ever done is in my Notes app.
24:36 Speaker 02 Um, you're just gonna see a lot of premises that are like, I'm glad this never saw the light of day.
24:43 Speaker 03 I doubt it. I bet if you went back and looked at your Notes app, you'd be like, there's a premise that I should absolutely be-
24:48 Speaker 02 I do it all the time, there's never is. It's always just like, what is this? What is this?
24:52 Speaker 03 I do it every now and then, and when I do, I get a couple good ones, and then the rest, I'm like- You thought you needed to write that down?
24:59 Speaker 02 Yeah, cuz your high brain is like, let's put this somewhere.
25:02 Speaker 03 I'm not always high though.
25:02 Pablo Torre? But it's the breaker of writer's block for me.
25:05 Speaker 02 Okay.
25:06 Pablo Torre? Which is in-
25:07 Speaker 03 Every weed?
25:08 Pablo Torre? It's like a shower or walk around the block, or it's like looking at something from a different angle.
25:12 Speaker 03 Yeah.
25:13 Pablo Torre? And-
25:13 Speaker 03 It does do that.
25:14 Pablo Torre? And that same guy is-
25:15 Speaker 03 It do be like that.
25:16 Pablo Torre? Is also potentially like a really bad generator of ideas that only the other guy can really validate.
25:24 Speaker 03 It's like it fires the bouncer, I feel like, so that like more gets out. And a lot of times you were stopping yourself from letting out the thing that was the idea you needed to get to, but you were also stopping a bunch of bad ideas, and those are also coming through.
25:38 Speaker 02 I always wanna correct my behavior. After I get high, I was like, I was a dick earlier when I just drank coffee and was fired up saying ideas.
25:45 Speaker 03 It does make me evaluate my day.
25:46 Speaker 02 I wanna like go back and edit my old self and be like, hey, you needed to calm down. But then sometimes I smoke weed, I go, everyone's mad at me. I should probably get out of here. Everyone's mad.
25:55 Speaker 03 Which is crazy because I bet if you polled every single person who's ever met, or even just perceived Dan, if they're mad at him, there would be, I'd be shocked if 1% was.
26:06 Speaker 02 That's very good weed.
26:08 Speaker 03 This weed rules.
26:09 Pablo Torre? It's really good, man.
26:10 Speaker 02 I would tell you-
26:11 Pablo Torre? It's really good.
26:12 Speaker 03 Leave this weed.
26:13 Speaker 02 I love, uh-
26:15 Pablo Torre? Katie just robbed me with a finger gun.
26:17 Speaker 03 Drop the weed, Pablo. This stays here.
26:19 Speaker 02 I love the Gary Payton, so I'm not surprised that I like Pac-Man cuz it's done by Cookies. They seem to have their [BLEEP] together.
26:26 Pablo Torre? Cookies as a, so as a brand, and again, this is why the journalistic integrity is so important, Katie. You're like, why?
26:31 Speaker 03 Why are you yelling at me? I went to J-School.
26:33 Pablo Torre? I can't give an honest appraisal of a company if I-
26:36 Speaker 03 Fair enough. Fair enough.
26:37 Pablo Torre? This though, no, no relationship to Cookies.
26:40 Speaker 03 Right.
26:40 Pablo Torre? But this illustration-
26:41 Speaker 03 I've never met him. Have you met him?
26:42 Pablo Torre? Pac-Man?
26:43 Speaker 03 Yeah.
26:43 Pablo Torre? No. All I know of him actually is like TMZ stories about him like fighting people.
26:50 Speaker 02 At the airport?
26:51 Pablo Torre? At the airport with like plastic bags.
26:55 Speaker 02 I know Pac-Man Jones is the man, cuz that weed is [BLEEP]. It's like-
26:59 Speaker 03 It's really good weed.
26:59 Speaker 02 It's almost like how George Foreman, a lot of people just know him for being the grill. And they're just like, "Yeah, it's a great grill."
27:06 Speaker 03 Which it was a great grill, the fat dripping off, I can't believe nobody thought of that until-
27:09 Speaker 02 It timed out perfectly me going to college.
27:11 Speaker 03 Yeah.
27:12 Speaker 02 That I was like-
27:12 Speaker 03 That is a perfect college.
27:14 Pablo Torre? George Foreman walked into a boardroom, like Don Draper, and showed him a protractor.
27:18 Speaker 02 Yeah.
27:19 Speaker 03 Was he heavily involved in the actual ideation, or did he come on afterwards?
27:24 Speaker 02 Now, I know a Hulk Hogan story, that Hulk Hogan said they had a choice. You doing the Trump kiss?
27:30 Speaker 03 Did you see him blow him a kiss?
27:32 Pablo Torre? So, that objectively-
27:34 Speaker 03 Weird.
27:35 Pablo Torre? Right, like-
27:36 Speaker 03 Weird behavior.
27:36 Pablo Torre? That is a unique behavior.
27:38 Speaker 02 I think it should catch on. I'm blowing kisses to everybody.
27:40 Speaker 03 I always think that objectively, and then, no one ever hears it objectively, so it doesn't-
27:45 Pablo Torre? Is it European? Is that the defense of it?
27:47 Speaker 03 Is Trump European?
27:49 Pablo Torre? No, is that a practice? Cuz it seemed-
27:52 Speaker 02 No, I think it's just a cool new thing to do, just throw a kiss at someone.
27:56 Speaker 03 Aggressively.
27:57 Pablo Torre? From the audience, after they praised you.
27:59 Speaker 02 He goes, "Hey, your cars are-"
28:03 Speaker 02 But, the rumor was that they like, had a choice of the Foreman grill or spaghetti maker, I think. That was like, a Hulk Hogan story, which most of the time is found out to be not true. I don't know if Foreman was like, like bio picture thing, where he was like, "Hey, this iron just pressed this chicken, all the fat out of it." And he's like, "George, that's it."
28:26 Pablo Torre? Or the equivalent of the apple falling on someone's head is George Foreman accidentally inventing a sloped grill.
28:32 Speaker 02 I didn't get, yeah, his eureka moment, I didn't get to see the George Foreman movie, that recently came out.
28:38 Pablo Torre? Oh, I didn't know there was.
28:39 Speaker 03 I didn't know there was one either.
28:40 Pablo Torre? George should change his name from Foreman to Poor Man.
28:45 Speaker 04 What's my name now, fool?
28:51 Speaker 02 I wanna redo the Foreman movie and make it like boxing is the B story.
28:58 Speaker 03 Exactly.
28:59 Speaker 02 I would love that.
28:59 Speaker 03 George Foreman, the grill maker.
29:01 Speaker 02 Yeah. Instead of the knockout heavyweight.
29:04 Speaker 03 Yeah.
29:06 Pablo Torre? My roommate in my first apartment after leaving home in Chinatown, it was a mouse infested apartment, in one of the oldest townhouses, like a row house in like Chinatown on Bowery and Pell. And my roommate Juan, who I love, had a George Foreman grill that he would use virtually every night. And the mice could not have loved it more.
29:27 Speaker 03 Why?
29:28 Pablo Torre? Because the smell of some sloped grease sizzling perpetually in an old ass building.
29:36 Speaker 02 Did they, did they have like a chorus? Was there like a bunch of mice lined up?
29:40 Speaker 03 Did they come out in a conga line from their little holes?
29:42 Pablo Torre? They were doing newsies, newsies, like barrel rolls.
29:46 Speaker 03 Oh, wow. Oh, wow.
29:47 Speaker 02 That's so fun over each other just for the grill. Yeah, man, I had a college roommate leave salmon on the George Foreman grill, uncooked. Like he was gonna grill it and then he like had to go do something and he was just forgetful to my roommate.
30:04 Speaker 03 Was this your roommate that sold drugs?
30:06 Speaker 02 Yeah.
30:06 Speaker 03 Okay. It makes more sense that way. I'm just, at first I was picturing he's a regular guy. I'm like, why didn't he start without stop?
30:13 Speaker 02 But we just had a Foreman grill and I remember I came home after class or something, or like maybe even the comedy club, and there was, I was like in the kitchen and I was like, is there something in the George Foreman grill? And I lifted it and it was just this like, you know when salmon goes bad, it gets that like weird green color?
30:31 Speaker 03 Oh, my God.
30:32 Speaker 02 Like coming from the outside in and I was like, so I put it in, um, like a Dwayne Reed bag, like a plastic shopping bag? And I went and I put it in his room.
30:45 Speaker 03 Oh, my God.
30:46 Speaker 02 I hid it in his room for like five days. So. If you're seeing this, Amir.

34:21 Speaker 02 My argument for the second strain is this. We go smoke a little bit of Magic Johnstone. I'm gonna grab a slice of pizza. You two should play Rocket League.
34:32 Pablo Torre? The argument for getting to the second strain is that I am now deeply self-conscious about whether I am hosting this in any way.
34:47 Pablo Torre? Did you just make the driving noise? As if I've never seen anything driven.
34:53 Speaker 03 This is reverse, but you're not gonna need that.
34:56 Speaker 02 They're about to start playing.
34:57 Speaker 03 You're looking at the...
34:58 Pablo Torre? Oh my god.
34:59 Speaker 03 No, he can't be me.
35:01 Speaker 02 And Stinger scored a goal. They're down 1-0.
35:03 Speaker 03 Pablo can't listen and play video games.
35:05 Pablo Torre? This is not a...
35:07 Speaker 02 You're gonna be alright.
35:08 Pablo Torre? There I am.
35:09 Speaker 02 We're gonna get you through it. Also, think about the Magic Johnstone you smoked. Go get it. There you go.
35:14 Speaker 03 I don't think I took enough of this weed. I don't think I smoked enough of it.
35:17 Speaker 02 We each took one big hit.
35:19 Speaker 03 I'm gonna go back for another hit.
35:20 Pablo Torre? I took enough of it.
35:20 Speaker 03 Yeah, you did.
35:21 Speaker 02 Pac-Man, we smoked. Pac-Man, we like had a full bowl.
35:26 Speaker 03 No, because we switched controllers exactly for that reason.
35:30 Pablo Torre? Now I realize...
35:30 Speaker 03 You were on the right side.
35:32 Pablo Torre? But now I'm not.
35:34 Speaker 03 No, now you're on the left. Now you're Queen Teensy. You're me now.
35:39 Speaker 03 That was good. Did you do that?
35:40 Pablo Torre? I did do that.
35:40 Speaker 03 Oh my god, Pablo.
35:42 Pablo Torre? I think I know Kung Fu.
35:44 Speaker 02 This might start a lifelong obsession with Rocket League.
35:47 Speaker 03 I mean Pablo, is this not the greatest?
35:49 Pablo Torre? This is pretty good. Once I realized I was on the left, everything made more sense.
35:53 Speaker 03 Again, you weren't originally. You were right at first.
35:56 Speaker 02 When I first started dating Katie, she didn't smoke pot. And she was like, I don't really smoke pot unless I play Rocket League.
36:04 Speaker 03 I guess. What that meant, can I tell you now that we've known each other forever what that meant?
36:09 Speaker 02 Yeah.
36:09 Speaker 03 I don't have a person to buy weed from.
36:11 Speaker 02 Got it.
36:12 Speaker 03 So I only smoke if you're bringing weed.
36:14 Speaker 02 Got it. Makes sense.
36:15 Speaker 03 You know?
36:16 Speaker 02 Well.
36:18 Speaker 03 And he brought weed.
36:19 Speaker 02 He brought weed.
36:20 Pablo Torre? So, I love this game.
36:23 Speaker 02 Yeah, this game is...
36:25 Pablo Torre? Now that I have a sense of like the physics of this.
36:27 Speaker 02 What's gonna hurt is when you get better at this than me and I've been playing for years.
36:30 Speaker 03 I was like, what if he learns to fly because he's smart?
36:33 Speaker 02 Pablo's like, yeah, I'm diamond. And you're like, I can't even get past the [bleep].
36:36 Speaker 03 Pablo, also if you're ready for more buttons, square can make you like, it's like a break so you can take a sharper turn.
36:41 Pablo Torre? Yup.
36:42 Speaker 02 So if this is a positive review of Magic Johnson.
36:44 Pablo Torre? Yeah, so far. I mean...
36:46 Speaker 02 Well, I'm interested to get to this Carmelo Anthony weed.
36:49 Pablo Torre? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
36:51 Speaker 02 Called mellow.
36:52 Pablo Torre? Fly off this wall real quick.
36:53 Speaker 03 Oh Pablo, that's twice.
36:55 Pablo Torre? That was so fun though.
36:56 Speaker 03 That was twice you got specifically into my way.
36:58 Pablo Torre? That was so fun.
36:59 Speaker 02 There's one minute remaining in the game. They're up 4-2.
37:02 Pablo Torre? I am.
37:02 Speaker 03 No, we're up.
37:03 Speaker 02 It says it's a greenhouse cannabis flower, an indica hybrid. So it is, it is mellow. They are going for the mellow. There's 40 seconds left in the game. It looks like Katie and Pablo are gonna take this home. Pablo's first inaugural game of Rocket League. Katie Nolan, of course, coming with four goals, a hat trick. She's hat trick Zeta Jones.
37:30 Speaker 02 10 seconds to go until we move on to Mello.
37:32 Speaker 03 We used to play full seasons against the Bots.
37:33 Pablo Torre? You did something incredible.
37:35 Speaker 03 Thanks.
37:36 Speaker 02 Look at that.
37:37 Pablo Torre? Can we narrate, can you, okay, so.
37:38 Speaker 02 She hits it off the side of the goal, bounces in front, she gets around, turns herself around, knocks the Bot into the ball who then scores the goal.
37:46 Pablo Torre? That was, that was a bad ninja. You bad-ninjas them.
37:50 Speaker 02 Yeah. You used their momentum against them. Bleep job. Mind control. Can I tell you what's, what I like about Mello, just from the looks?
37:59 Speaker 03 Sure.
37:59 Speaker 02 It's just little nuggets. They're just like a fun little, hey, he was a nugget.
38:04 Speaker 03 Wow. Mello is just little nuggets.
38:07 Speaker 02 Then it broke my heart.
38:08 Speaker 03 Yeah, you got beef, you got real beef with Mello.
38:10 Speaker 02 It just hurt. If you're a Nuggets fan, that hurt. We were waiting for a superstar. We got Carmelo. We, he went to the 09 Western Conference Finals, lost because of two key steals from Trevor Ariza, and then you just dismantle the team, you make everyone go everywhere else. I mean, granted, we got some.
38:31 Pablo Torre? You got Wilson Chandler.
38:34 Speaker 02 Yeah, we did. I liked Wilson Chandler. He was nasty on NBA 2K. I loved Wilson Chandler. But that completely destroyed the franchise for a couple of years. We were on the cusp. Now, granted, it did lead to us getting Nikola Jokic and then eventually winning a championship, but I will smoke this weed, still a little angry at a trade that was forced. When I feel, as a Nuggets fan, it wasn't needed. You didn't need the trade.
39:01 Pablo Torre? Timothy Mozgov.
39:03 Speaker 02 We got Fulton. We got, um, God, we got that whole Knicks team.
39:08 Pablo Torre? Yes, you got, you got a team that in New York, we, we actually.
39:12 Speaker 03 Oh, yes.
39:12 Pablo Torre? We're kind of sad about losing as much as people loved.
39:15 Speaker 02 Can I tell you the thing that upset me the most? I was waiting tables at the time and they would play this package when Carmelo got traded and it was, uh, "I'm coming home."
39:31 Speaker 02 That whole dramatic thing and it was, felt like it was just rubbing my face in it where I was like, every time it'd come on, I'd be like, "Oh, he's from Baltimore."
39:39 Pablo Torre? Yeah.
39:40 Speaker 02 Like, it was the thing you just, but he was born in Brooklyn, but you're like, man, it hurt. That trade as a Nuggets fan, hurt. That might be the most painful trade of my life.
39:50 Speaker 03 Wow.
39:51 Speaker 02 Yeah. And thanks for letting me smoke weed on it.
40:02 Speaker 02 Took a couple hits. It's an indica hybrid. It was a good bowl. Tasted good. I would say I enjoyed the taste of Pac-Man, but I also, Pac-Man went first. Well, hold on, pause. Taste of the first weed. The marijuana? I'm sorry, Mario.
40:18 Speaker 03 Not the Legos. Do you want me to move them? I can move them.
40:21 Speaker 02 No, we're good.
40:22 Pablo Torre? Your Lego television Mario set.
40:24 Speaker 03 I built this and it works. Can everybody see it? Dan, can you roll the?
40:28 Speaker 02 Yeah, it's a wild thing to...
40:30 Speaker 03 Look at that. I've made that.
40:31 Speaker 02 Come on, get behind that.
40:33 Speaker 03 Give it up for me. Good. Oh, I was just joking. That was so cool. But it broke just then. That was really... Guys, did you really do that?
40:41 Speaker 02 They did.
40:41 Speaker 03 Thank you so... Okay, everything's going to [BLEEP]. It's all falling apart. I broke it.
40:46 Speaker 02 We'll be all right.
40:47 Speaker 03 Well, where does that go?
40:48 Speaker 02 I don't know. We'll get back to it.
40:50 Speaker 03 I thought everybody would like that little...
40:51 Speaker 02 That's a good working review of...
40:53 Speaker 03 No, I should have built it better than that. I took it... You guys do a podcast, so let me sit for a minute.
41:00 Speaker 02 What did you think of the mellow?
41:02 Pablo Torre? It's hard to know what... I think I'm susceptible to suggestion.
41:07 Speaker 03 Mm-hmm.
41:07 Pablo Torre? Right now.
41:08 Speaker 03 Okay.
41:08 Pablo Torre? Dan is leading with authority.
41:10 Speaker 03 Yeah.
41:11 Pablo Torre? And I have enjoyed all of the strains we've had so far. The mellow is definitely the most indica-y.
41:18 Speaker 02 Yeah.
41:19 Pablo Torre? And Katie just burped.
41:21 Speaker 03 No, I didn't.
41:21 Pablo Torre? Undoubtedly still on microphone.
41:24 Speaker 03 I was over here.
41:26 Pablo Torre? So here's how I would compare and contrast what this is. So this feels like we're not playing Rocket League. This feels like we are... It's kind of... It is nice. It's nice.
41:35 Speaker 02 Cheetos showed up on the table. That's a wild move.
41:37 Speaker 03 Who did that? One of you is a...
41:39 Speaker 02 That's a wild move.
41:40 Speaker 03 Cheeky... One of you's real cheeky. I'm gonna get to him, yeah. That's it.
41:44 Speaker 02 Sorry, editor.
41:46 Speaker 03 For all of it, actually, while we have you.
41:48 Speaker 02 Yeah.
41:48 Speaker 03 For all of it.
41:49 Speaker 02 Um, this has been very fun. I'm pretty [BLEEP].
41:53 Speaker 03 Yeah, same. Here's my thing, because I don't think I've given a single review yet. Um, they're... I'm high, so they're all good. I'm not, like, noticing once I... Is that... Are you guys doing that for the magic of podcasting? Should I be like, "The mellow is more of like a..." I think I'm just later in my high from the first one.
42:12 Speaker 02 I like this as your fake ASMR, though. Keep going off on this.
42:18 Pablo Torre? I believe that mellow is it's it's just the it's probably what should have been the last insofar as it's going to put you to sleep.
42:29 Speaker 03 You look you look sleepy. You noticeably look a little. Do you want to put your head on a pillow?
42:33 Speaker 02 Dude, please just pan out with just one light on and it's just Pablo on the couch.
42:38 Speaker 03 We've got a that couch pulls out if you need it.
42:40 Pablo Torre? This is such a comfortable couch.
42:41 Speaker 03 After Dan plays college football. So you noticeably go, well, Pablo can't stay here.
42:45 Speaker 02 Well, Colorado's taking on a five and two Wyoming. So why don't we just see, why don't we see where that goes? Anybody playing college football, that video game knows. Yeah. Are you playing it?
42:55 Speaker 03 You're counting down.
42:56 Speaker 02 So you're just waiting for the podcast and you're like, yeah, some of us got dynasties at home. That's like the new children. Hey, some of us gotta get home to ours.
43:06 Speaker 02 Dude, I love it.
43:07 Speaker 03 That's wild.
43:08 Speaker 02 I love it. This game was the phenomena that.
43:11 Pablo Torre? It is. It is a genuine phenomenon.
43:13 Speaker 02 It's worth it. All the weight of having to wait for college football to come out. I thank you. What a what a payoff. It's been awesome.
43:24 Speaker 03 Okay, your game froze like four times yesterday and you were very mad at it. So maybe we don't act like it's the greatest thing that's ever happened.
43:30 Speaker 02 But think about how many tables I didn't break.
43:33 Speaker 03 And you didn't. And they both are still here and they're being used in this. It was the number one reason I was worried I was gonna lose one because I'm like, we're doing a podcast here. But it's been frustrating. The game is a little glitchy and it'd be nice if they.
43:45 Speaker 02 I had a game with um, uh, Texas that was going to overtime and then it just shut down. The entire game shut down and my childlike reaction of sadness made me think I was gonna lose my fiance because I went, no, no. Like an unfair, childlike thing like, hey, no, we're about to go to overtime. But we were. My freshman quarterback was cooking. Do you understand that? Not just thinking and dunking. I'm talking about 41 yard shots, dude.
44:17 Pablo Torre? Are you are you are you like doing back shoulder passes?
44:20 Speaker 02 I learned how to throw now. I was doing classic throw. Now I have it where you could put touch passes. Yeah, there's some throw.
44:25 Pablo Torre? You're feathering. You're feathering that.
44:26 Speaker 02 I got a tight end that is just.
44:29 Speaker 03 Top notch.
44:29 Speaker 02 He's eating this season. He's a senior.
44:33 Speaker 02 He's just eating.
44:34 Speaker 03 So now what he'll do is he'll come out and go, in case something goes wrong.
44:38 Speaker 02 Yeah, cuz it's, it's recanceled so many times.
44:40 Speaker 03 My running back has 200 yards in the first half.
44:47 Speaker 02 It was insane.
44:47 Speaker 03 It was nuts. Well, give me a stat line and be like, just in case something goes wrong, you should know this kid really had a great run.
44:53 Pablo Torre? 11 carries, 255.
44:54 Speaker 03 In case the game freezes again, and he's like, he like files it with me like it's history.
44:58 Speaker 02 I just was.
44:58 Speaker 03 In case anything happens in there, four carries.
45:02 Speaker 02 I was kicking the [BLEEP] out of Oregon State, at Oregon State, in Corvallis. And I come out going, hey, if this game gets shut down, I'm [BLEEP] putting one on him right now. And my running back has 13 carries for 226 and three touchdowns in the first half? And I'm gonna run him a lot in the second half. And it, thank God, what happened is it was shutting down so much, I deleted the game and re-downloaded it.
45:24 Speaker 03 And that worked.
45:25 Speaker 02 And so far, so good. CSU's already a three-star program. We're number two in the country.
45:29 Speaker 03 Two in the country.
45:30 Speaker 02 I mean, really, this podcast ends and a dynasty begins. I'm, I'm gonna move on. It's playoff. I wanna get to the playoffs. It'll be, mean a lot to the city of Fort Collins and our border regions. Now, do we smoke some Gary Payton and do the SNL goodbye?
45:50 Speaker 02 Where we stand there with Myrtle? Myrtle comes out and we're just like, I wanna thank so many people. I wanna thank Cookies. I wanna thank Pacquiao Jones and Gary Payton. I wanna thank Magic Johnson, who probably doesn't even know this product exists.
46:01 Speaker 03 And it's prob, now that he does, it's probably not gonna exist anymore.
46:04 Speaker 02 Sorry, eh.
46:06 Pablo Torre? Lorne, Lorne.
46:07 Speaker 02 Lor, yeah.
46:08 Speaker 03 And Lorne, of course.
46:17 Speaker 02 Gary Payton rules, if you can't tell.
46:19 Pablo Torre? It's a classic.
46:20 Speaker 02 It's so good.
46:22 Pablo Torre? I've sought it out because it was, it was something of a legendary thing. And plus, like now, like, uh, there's, there's a Larry Bird strain, but it's like 33. There are like lots of references now.
46:32 Speaker 02 Okay, so it's 33% THC.
46:36 Speaker 03 That feels high.
46:37 Pablo Torre? The marketing should, should require the accurate, yeah.
46:41 Speaker 03 His face tells me you came up with a good idea.
46:43 Pablo Torre? Yeah.
46:43 Speaker 03 But that was not the idea.
46:45 Speaker 02 Yeah, the Gary Payton's like, kind of like, just, um, when you come back to it, you're like, "Damn, you are very..."
46:51 Speaker 03 I don't know if it's just in my head, it tasted good. I was like, "Mm, mhm."
46:55 Speaker 02 Yeah, the mellow was, the mellow I felt, I felt probably the most, like, in my body. I don't know, I'm talking like an idiot.
47:04 Pablo Torre? No, no, no, I, I'm-
47:05 Speaker 03 No, you're not.
47:06 Pablo Torre? Yes, most, most palpably different was mellow sitting in the couch.
47:11 Speaker 02 Yeah, I just know stuff, I would explain it in stoner terms, like, with the Pac-Man, I really wanted pizza, but with the Magic Johnstone, I really wanted to talk.
47:24 Pablo Torre? Mm-hmm.
47:25 Speaker 02 But with the mellow, I thought of the future and all the college football I'm gonna play. And then with the Gary Payton, I wanted pizza again. So what does that say? Where are we going from here to there?
47:36 Speaker 03 They were all good.
47:38 Speaker 02 Yeah.
47:38 Speaker 03 I don't have a negative thing to say. I don't think I smoked enough of Magics, because I was like, "Hey Katie, there's gonna be a lot of weed in Shore and Mottai. Maybe on the second one, when they take two, you take one, just one this time." So I don't know if nothing happened.
47:50 Speaker 02 Yeah.
47:51 Speaker 03 But I never felt bad. And so, nobody gets a ding in their record. And as much as me, lady who doesn't know anything about weed and doesn't smoke all the cool weeds, these ones are all okay.
48:17 Speaker 02 Thank you for bringing all this great weed to our house.
48:19 Speaker 03 How much of it stays, would you say? Because you don't want to get caught carrying this much, you could get in some real trouble.
48:23 Speaker 02 Also, people got cellphones on them, and they could call the cops.
48:26 Speaker 03 But it's very funny that you showed up with a bunch of weed, and we smoked it. This is how it should be. You're the best dealer I've ever had, I think is what I'm saying.
48:35 Speaker 02 Typical dealer, comes over, smokes some of it, eats some of your food, plays your video games-
48:42 Speaker 03 Won't leave.
48:43 Speaker 02 This is a story-
48:44 Speaker 03 Records everything you do and publishes it as a podcast.
48:47 Speaker 02 Guy's probably wearing a wire.
48:49 Speaker 03 I sense microphones in the room.
48:52 Speaker 02 I don't know, man, call it the weed, but I'm paranoid, we're being recorded.
48:54 Speaker 03 I feel like I'm being watched.
48:56 Pablo Torre? Are you guys stealing my weed?
48:58 Speaker 02 Yeah.
48:59 Speaker 03 We're not, you're not leaving with one of them.
49:01 Speaker 02 Some of it is staying back.
49:03 Speaker 03 And if you want to fight that, I wouldn't recommend it, but you could.
49:06 Speaker 02 Myrtle can get vicious.
49:08 Speaker 03 If I say, "Sick 'em," she'll come lick you and see if you want to take her, if you have any treats.
49:15 Pablo Torre? I love when dog owners have like a like foreign word that summons their dog.
49:20 Speaker 02 Oh, yeah. Oh, like, yeah, like something in German.
49:24 Pablo Torre? Ungarn.
49:24 Speaker 02 Yeah, and it's just there, like a police dog.
49:27 Pablo Torre? Right, because it has to be something that no one else would say.
49:29 Speaker 03 It's gotta be like her Manchurian candidate word.
49:31 Speaker 02 Yeah, her activation, yeah.
49:33 Pablo Torre? Right.
49:34 Speaker 02 Ours is the T word.
49:36 Speaker 03 No, that's just a word that she physically, her ears will go from like, I'm a cute dog, to like, I'm the cutest dog you've ever seen in your whole life. She get little pig tails and she's like, oh my god, you should give me a treat. And it works sometimes on mostly him.
49:50 Speaker 02 Yep.
49:51 Speaker 03 Because she gets so cute. But I'm like, damn, you really know that word. I didn't train you that word, but we said it and you knew what came right after it, so you'll simp for it. And she does. She does. This weed is good.
50:04 Speaker 02 If we're picking, are you telling us to pick one?
50:07 Pablo Torre? I'm telling you to.
50:08 Speaker 03 It's hard not to. I'm loyal. I'm a loyal bitch. So I would pick Gary Payton, who reliably always gets me fucked up, including the time that he handed me a pint glass of Jack Daniels with a straw and ice in it.
50:20 Speaker 02 That's the real Gary Payton.
50:22 Speaker 03 It's real Gary. I asked, he was asking people what they wanted to drink and his eyes got to me and I was like, I don't think I was supposed to be in this group, but I said, uh, me? And he said, yeah. And I said, I'll take like a, I don't know, Jack Daniels? I panicked. Thinking he'd get me like a Jack and Coke or like a Jack Daniels. And he turned around with a pint glass with ice and it was like, I don't know, it was dark everywhere. So I thought like, maybe this is just a tall Jack and Coke. I took a sip and I was like, that is Jack Daniels. It was just a pint glass, ice, Jack Daniels.
50:55 Speaker 02 Gary Payton thought you had a problem.
50:57 Speaker 03 I was like.
50:58 Speaker 02 Gary Payton was like, sure, tiny lady, someone get eyes on her. She might be a little bit of an issue later. Drinking a pint glass of Jack Daniels. Thanks, Gary Payton. They call you the glove. They call you the glove. They call me the boot.
51:19 Speaker 02 Jerry Payton being like, Katie Nolan, **** drinks dude. And Gary Payton, you make fantastic, lovable weed. Yeah, I would say Pac-Man is a close second, but.
51:32 Speaker 03 That was a good start.
51:33 Speaker 02 The element of surprise, I didn't expect Pac-Man to be.
51:36 Speaker 03 Yeah.
51:36 Speaker 02 Gary Payton. It's just, man, I'm gonna destroy whatever's left in that kitchen, Cheetos pizza wise.
51:44 Speaker 03 That's, we haven't made one of those yet. You're gonna make a Cheetos pizza?
51:47 Speaker 02 No, I understand where the confusion is. What I meant is, whatever stands in front of me, I destroy.
51:53 Speaker 03 Okay.
51:54 Speaker 02 Basically a food terminator.
51:55 Speaker 03 So it was Cheetos slash pizza wise?
51:59 Speaker 02 Yeah, it's probably gonna go Cheetos, pizza, Cheetos, land the plane, regroup.
52:05 Speaker 03 Van Luen?
52:06 Speaker 02 Swiss cake roll.
52:07 Speaker 03 Oh, that's right, that's right, that's right. Oh, we should make you eat that. Like a bite of it.
52:12 Speaker 02 Yeah.
52:12 Speaker 03 Dan's like, no, we should save it. It's so good and you're high, so I think you'd really like it.
52:18 Speaker 02 Piece of that.
52:19 Speaker 03 Please don't.
52:20 Speaker 02 No, of that, of that, uh, Swiss roll. Why's everything gotta be sexual, you guys?
52:24 Speaker 03 Please let.
52:26 Speaker 02 Also with this background.
52:27 Speaker 03 Pablo a piece of that is wild.
52:29 Speaker 02 Piece of the Swiss roll. Man, this sucks now.
52:36 Speaker 02 This absolutely sucks it. Disagree. No, of, of that Swiss roll. God damn it, I'm gonna have to fight this whole room. I gotta John Wick. I've never thought I'd have to John Wick my way out of my apartment. And the dog's still alive, so that is a win-win. This is a Swiss cake roll from a restaurant called Cafeteria. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, Cafeteria. This **** roll. It's also. Red velvet Swiss cake roll.
53:03 Speaker 03 Ah, just feed it to Nick. Here you go.
53:09 Speaker 03 Yeah, you just eat it, yeah. It's good stuff.
53:12 Speaker 02 So wait, I.
53:17 Speaker 02 Yeah, there wasn't anything specific. Oh, you're supposed to decode it. Then eat it.
53:21 Speaker 03 Oh, you didn't unroll it and lick the inside out?
53:23 Speaker 02 Well, now that's poison. Good job, Pablo.
53:25 Speaker 03 Yikes. Is that cutting a blowfish the wrong way?
53:27 Speaker 02 Yeah.
53:28 Speaker 03 Oh, you've just cut through the skin? Well, we're all dead.
53:30 Speaker 02 Can I tell you what, though? This is a great front row seat of watching someone eat that Swiss cake roll high. And you know what? It wasn't just Pablo.
53:40 Speaker 02 It was Magic Johnson. It was Gary Payton. Pac-Man Jones. Carmelo Anthony. It was all of you guys. You were all there.
53:51 Pablo Torre? That's really good.
53:52 Speaker 03 Isn't that nice? Life is good. You know? That's one of the things that when we, um... partaking it, we both look at each other and go, "Look at where we live. Look at our life." We are eating... It was delivered to us, a Swiss cake roll.
54:06 Pablo Torre? I suspected that.
54:07 Speaker 02 It's the greatest moment of my life.
54:10 Speaker 03 We could get whatever we want right now, and we don't want a lot.
54:14 Speaker 02 It's like a speech of the movie. And what I want is sitting right here next to me.
54:22 Speaker 02 Thanks for getting us high, dude.
54:22 Speaker 03 Yeah, dude.
54:24 Pablo Torre? What I found out today is that, uh... athlete weed is not good because of the strain or because of the illustration of a Pac-Man Jones holding plastic bags full of of weed.
54:42 Pablo Torre? It's because of whatever dessert that was that I just ate.
54:55 Pablo Torre? This has been Pablo Torre Finds Out, a Meadowlark Media production.
55:01 Pablo Torre? And I'll talk to you next time.
