You describe yourself as a<br />
stoner. Do you like to get high<br />
before performances?<br />
I love getting high before a show, but I’m<br />
still on the fence about the whole thing.<br />
I did two shows back-to-back once, one<br />
high, one sober. I swear to this day my<br />
sober performance was better, but it’s<br />
hard to say. Sometimes weed can make<br />
me nervous or anxious.<br />
Would you describe yourself<br />
as a marijuana activist?<br />
I was straight-edge most of my life. I<br />
went to D.A.R.E. after school and thought<br />
stoners and drinkers were losers. I began<br />
smoking marijuana on my 24 th birthday<br />
and haven’t looked back. My girlfriend,<br />
Rene, and I are even getting married on<br />
4.20. I’m not in the trenches like many activists,<br />
but I have no difficulty voicing my<br />
opinions. Marijuana should be legalized<br />
across the globe, taxed and kept out of the<br />
hands of corporations. The last thing we<br />
need is Wal-Mart or Malboro killing small<br />
businesses by selling generic garbage.<br />
How’s your Wake N Bake show<br />
on Periscope going?<br />
Rene and I frequently watch Getting<br />
Doug with High on YouTube and figured<br />
that since we smoke weed anyways,<br />
we might as well have people join us.<br />
To my amazement, it’s been a complete<br />
blast. Aside from smoking weed with<br />
people around the world, it’s also<br />
become a great way to get me out of my<br />
shell. We smoke around 8 a.m. and chat<br />
with viewers. I like to call it the Stoner<br />
Friends Simulator.<br />
“IF I SMOKE A STRONG<br />
SATIVA, I THINK I’M THE<br />
FUNNIEST PERSON<br />
IN THE WORLD.“<br />
When are we gonna see you on<br />
Last Comic Standing or America’s<br />
Got Talent?<br />
I auditioned for AGT in 2014 and have<br />
emailed LCS three times. Spoiler alert:<br />
neither worked out. I’m only five years in<br />
and still have no idea about the business<br />
side of comedy. Rumor has it that<br />
people can demand certain comics be<br />
considered for LCS, wink, wink.<br />
So who thinks you’re funny?<br />
The kind people of the Internet. I once<br />
had a Tweet featured on Funny or Die, if<br />
that means anything. Audiences seem to<br />
like me when I can get them. If I smoke<br />
a strong sativa, I think I’m the funniest<br />
person in the world.<br />
Tell us a couple jokes.<br />
Let me first say this may not go over as<br />
well in text form…<br />
“I once dated a girl who asked me to put<br />
my penis in her ear. When I asked her<br />
how it felt, she said, ‘What?’”<br />
&<br />
“I told my shrink that sometimes people<br />
don’t laugh at my jokes and she gave me<br />
Zoloft. I said, ‘Great! How do I get them<br />
to take it?’”<br />
Any guilty pleasures?<br />
Fallout 4, and watching Ghost Adventures<br />
with Rene. It’s one of the dumbest things<br />
on television and promotes ignorance,<br />
but I get so much pleasure from watching<br />
bros stumble around in the dark yelling<br />
about ghosts that aren’t ever there.<br />
Any parting thoughts?<br />
Remember kids, it’s OK to be gay or transgendered.<br />
Talk to someone about it. Talk<br />
to someone if you’re depressed. Stay<br />
away from religion by any means necessary.<br />
Don’t eat the whole edible if it’s your<br />
first time. Quit smoking cigarettes. Don’t<br />
vote for Donald Trump. I love most of you.<br />
