A new voice joins the mic and the energy shifts. Kyle steps in as co-host and we jump straight into a no-fluff review of How High—equal parts nostalgia tour and reality check. We talk about why the movie slapped when we were younger, what lands differently now, and how authorship shapes every punchline. The laughs are still there, but so are the winces, and reading both is the point.

We get into the craft and the context: Method Man’s early acting spark, Redman’s chaotic charm, and the side character who quietly gets the best growth arc in the film. Then we zoom out to the bigger question—who gets to write our laughs? When a script strings together stereotypes for shock value, the humor ages fast and hard. We contrast those beats with comedies built by Black creators, where the jokes carry lived nuance and the satire hits smarter: think Friday, The Boondocks, and classic Chappelle sketches that punch up without losing bite.

This isn’t a takedown; it’s a truth check. We call out scenes that cross lines, salute moments that still feel like home, and trace how mainstream comedy has morphed into hybrids to survive the streaming era. Along the way, we rate the film in “puffs,” argue about what counts as cooning versus parody, and share why representation behind the pen matters as much as representation on screen. If you’ve loved How High for years—or side-eyed it on a rewatch—you’ll find room here to both laugh and think.

I love some good food, I love some anime, um, some of the Dragon Ball Z, Samurai Shample, Samurai Jack, there's just all fun things there. I love to conceptualize pretty much everything. So I'm excited to be here and be part of your entertainment.

SPEAKER_01:

Well, I appreciate you know introducing yourself for all the weeks. Um, and again, this is a big deal, everyone, because for a while I was doing the solo podcasting thing. Um, you know, I don't mind that, but it is nice to have someone that can piggyback off of this kind of content. And this gives everybody just a different perspective. You know, we you know, we're we're always searching for more part of the week to be a part of the tribe. Uh, I do have some other wonderful news is that I now have the site up, tribecall.com.

I would love to give you feedback and just you know part of the shot. And uh we're gonna go ahead and we'll just keep going forward and just put more content out there as best as possible uh for everybody. So um, as you guys know, we are still currently in, and I know it's a little so you'll have to be in the movie, but we're currently in season five, episode seven, stoner movie review, how high. This is a very, very, you know, uh interesting movie uh for all the stoner comments out there, but you like to blunt, the cones, or whatever you like to roll up to. Uh this is a comedy with uh uh, you know, starting Method Man and uh Red Man, and you know a few other actors who you know their careers and Death With Blocks since then. Um and this came out in 2001. And so I was gonna go ahead and ask Kyle, uh, you know, how did you feel about the movie overall?

SPEAKER_00:

You know, um it's it's fascinating looking at it in two different um areas of my life. So I watched it this morning just as a refresher, but of course I watched it back when it came out. Back when I you know, back when it came out, um, I was like, you know, this is this is weird. Um it's weird because uh I was like, oh, it's smoking weed, which you know, at that point in time I was smoking weed, so it it was just really cool to see my you know my favorite uh artist uh performing uh performing this movie. It's just it was just overall great. Looking at it now, it's like wow, there's so many hidden in windows that I wouldn't have recognized back then. And some of the things that are said in this movie, like, oh wow, we don't say anything like that anymore. But it was just overall a very enlightening experience, particularly because there's just so much, there's just so much juicy content that we miss when you know when we it's I don't want to put it, it's best when you're a little more aware and you've matured and you see all these hidden jokes. So I love it.

SPEAKER_01:

Okay, I mean, okay, you've definitely mentioned a really good point. Wow. A lot of time has gone past since that movie has dated to the public. I had never seen it before. And I remember in high school people have spoken about it, and yes, I mean except just because I showed you how old I am, but that that movie is that old and I'm referring to it. But what stood out to me was that I it depends on the set of lens, because it's it's a store movie, right? It's like you can't take the subject matter seriously. And I will admit, at the time when I had seen it, I was sober. And so I was looking at the movie initially, like okay, this seems like some type of coonin, and you know, the jokes are at the top, and then too, too, it was written by a white guy, you know. So let's be honest, as bleaks we all know. Uh white people have a different perception of comedy for black people than we do. And so that to me really displayed in that movie. Like, I was like, Okay, it was like Mike Depps says to pemp powder for pitch flapping people, green powder and stuff. And it was almost it was almost kind of like some dolomite or like a black splantation type movie when he was like, Oh, powder, come on, come on, let me just slap clump, and you know, methane man, the red man getting his ass rolled by his mom in the beginning, and the whole pork, whatever that meal was acting to like black people because I said, damn, like I was gonna say, I remember it saying something on the lines of like, oh, you go to the bathroom, it won't smell, and I'm like, I don't know about that. So I was watching it and I hate to say it, I almost I didn't want to sound like I was coming off, but I almost felt like a I felt like the dean a little bit because I was like, I said, come on, yeah, you're getting y'all doing the most. I you you know you you you know you have hardware or whatever like that. But I had to take a sit back and I saw it again last night. Aha. And then I can just this one was like, yo, it's a story. I'm not gonna take this seriously. You still have some fun with it. But I do feel as though when it comes to black those itself, there's still always that stereotype prototype that has to be menstrual or you know what I mean? Like, even though it's a strong movie, but you can tell the comedy was written from someone else and not us, from like now, you know. I just want to kind of get your opinion on that.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, I well, I definitely agree with you on there because there's certain a certain level of I'm like, no, it's like, eh, that's not as funny as you did. And I think, you know, how I thought back then versus how I think now, it's just so easy to be able to conceptualize just everything here. So to me, it's like, oh, you know, how most movies they require a villain, and it's like, oh, so who was the villain in this in this particular case? It's like, oh, it actually just so happened to be the dean, this black guy who didn't want people that were hoodish, yeah, you know, in there. And it's like, oh, you know, I wouldn't have caught that back then. I'm thinking like this was just a bunch of nonsense of people getting together, smoking weed, having a good time. But like now, I'm like, oh, no. I mean, yeah, we had, I mean, it shows us that there are, you know, black on black, hate crime, hate crime, hate crime type of sort of thing, but then there's also we have to rely on substances sometimes to be able to express ourselves, like the ding being fired. The other guy had to be high as a kite before doing that. And it's like, wow, so it took you that long to be able to express yourself, really?

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, and that that's a very good point. And a lot of that stuff with that movie, it kind of, I don't know, it's like I can enjoy it now, but it was just like you know, some of the stuff is it comes off offensive, right? Like it was just kind of like with the scene where I forgot the actress name, but she was the president's daughter.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

And then she talks to you know, red man, she's like, Do you have any felonies? Do you do you have any like kids out of wedlock or what like beat my ass? Like, oh then yeah, if you're not on that type of time, and I don't want to be. She like, yeah. It was like a fun where I was kind of like I was like, what black woman says that you said something, but you know, like in that in that right there, it I understand in a sense because it's a comic, right? And it's supposed to be taken to be funny, but at the same time, I was like, the way that was written, you know, that wasn't like the way how we would put that out there. Like, oh no, you know, like again, it's when white people write art, like comedy, they see it through their point of view, like how they view us. And I'm like, oh, that is not how you go about that at all. Like, because that's just more offensive than it actually is funny. Because then I'm thinking, like, no, I know they're what they pay to allow to say this people shit. I just don't mind that.

SPEAKER_00:

You know, and that that's it's funny because I thought about the other scene with the Asian guy, and then the woman's like, oh no, I want your who is it? I want your egg roll. Like, I'm like, oh, I want your egg roll, and then there's the scene with the with the pimp and the Chinese guy, and it's like, magically he knows kung fu now. Yeah, I'm like, really, bro?

SPEAKER_01:

I'm like, yeah. But like I said, okay, like it's it's it's funny, more so when I die, but sober, I was kind of like, uh, and I guess I'm just particularly because we'll leaks, and you mean you know our experiences of black people in general, and some of that stuff I'm just like, I'm like I just I'm not doing that, man. Like this. I know what he was trying to go for, but he just didn't execute it. And that's when I feel as like you need to hire black writers who understand our point of view, our experiences, and they're like, no, it needs to be said like this. It needs to be you go like this. Like one movie I've I've never seen, but it had Gene Wilder in Richard Pryor. It was like something about a train or something like that, and there's a scene where Gene Wilder puts on shoe polish, it was like blackface, like in like late 70s, early 80s. Oh, yeah, right. And so he spoke with Richard Pryor, and he was like, Hey, Richard was very offended by the scene, and he said, Well, look, I won't do it unless one you tell me how you want the scene to come off ass, or you know, I'm not offending you know, black people or whatever, because it was like I I'm not black, I don't know. You know, and I know this is supposed to be like a comedy kind of action thing, but I don't want it to come off offensive either.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

So, you know, and so he had Richard Carter rewrite the scene and did it where Gene Wilder was like, okay, you know, I'm going off of what you're screwing, or you know, what you how I should, so this doesn't come off, you know, offensive. And that's the thing where you know, another show. I I wasn't a fan of it, the spin-off just to kind of dive off into like people who write about us. Yeah, is the uh from Family Guy of the Black character. Cleveland. Yeah, Cleveland. Yeah, that's Rogan wrote that, or whoever he hires for that. I said, There's no way that show could have been made by black people. But I mean, that's one of those things where I was like, I said, This is like funny for white people to look at us and be like, oh, look at the that's what the how they could see what is like running to them. But I'm like to us, yo, that's not shit that we find funny. Yeah, like watching that, I never really found that show funny. Now we're talking about like the bulldogs, yeah, McGriller now, you know, we just and do we know the delivery and all that stuff that's a feeling that we know about people. I'm like, okay, hey, that's more accurate how we speak to each other behind closed doors, like you know, and in a sense, I feel like that show really opened up the door as far as like where white people are like, oh damn, that's that's how it goes down behind, you know what I mean? No matter what race, ethnicity, culture you come from, there are some things that y'all just have that y'all speak about but kind of close doors. And I feel like when I saw How High, I was like, dang, you must really I I know it's the comedy, but this seemed more like racial, like, oh, I'm gonna think of every negative stereotype about black people, and then we're just gonna put that and use two famous, you know, rappers and myself.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, no, I mean, going from this whole, okay, yeah, these guys are in the hood, and then we're gonna put them into a I mean, sorry, we're gonna get them to cheat because you're trying to say that they're not able to be smart enough to test good enough to go to Harvard or to any school that they want to.

SPEAKER_01:

Well, then another thing that was so uh to me kind of like, and again, bleaks, I understand it's some movie, but there are some things where it's just like, come on, really, like the part where their friend died, because he had locks that he was smoking a blunt and then it caught on fire. And then he jumps out the window and then gets ran over by a box. Like, to me, I was like, I said, you know, really, like that's how you like you know pretty well right now.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, low-key kind of like, oh hey, you know, I'm trying to lock out, and now I'm like, and I go watch that scene, I'm like, mmm, I don't know if I want to do this now. I'm like, mm. But no, that that scene was just crazy and unexpected. It's like he gets rejected for not looking like for the unibrow and for the locks. It's just like, oh, you catfish me, which by the way, that's like the way of the world now. Everyone lies about their photos, and she's like, I don't want you. So she gets rejected, and then he decides to get high and then basically dies from that mistake. That's I don't know, this is mind-blowing to me.

SPEAKER_01:

I agree. I I will say that it was amazing to see how long most of the actors are met the man veteran, because I thought that was like Method Man's kind of uh like open door to act for because he did Belly and then acting now think of Method Man. I primarily think of as the actor versus the rapper now. Like that's what he's been.

SPEAKER_00:

I thought that was the isn't that their I pretty I'm pretty sure that was their first movie that they did. I think so. And and and I definitely get it because in the and I remember there was a lady, I can't remember her name right now, but she said that black folks usually start out in comedy, no matter how corny it is, and then that's what sets them into all the other serious roles that they get.

SPEAKER_01:

And look, I'm never to not get you know another black man or black woman's success, what they're voting for. And I understand you're just starting out hacking, you're not a professional on that level or that magnitude just yet. So it's like, oh hey, I need to take roles I don't want, or things that I'm not comfortable with, you know, but and I've been against some of the scenes, you know. I was like, okay, that worked for Harold and Pumar. That does not work for us. Yeah, you know what I mean? But y'all understand what I'm talking about. When we say, come on, we can make this black people, that's some white people share. Yeah, but we literally say that as if you're like, no, that's some white people share. We don't we don't do that shit. That's some white people shit.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, I was gonna say, I take them the quote from Titus from Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. It's like, what white nonsense is this?

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean. It's like and and then I feel like because let's let's let's give it a butt as leaks and black people we have certain expressions and looks that we know like we'll just look like really niggas, like we do that to each other, like there's a thing, it's so small, minor things as black people, but we know because it's been like look across the way like you know, you know, yeah, it could be a non-verbal exchange, but we impossible black people that's one of those things, and I felt like some of those scenes in that movie, even though I'm right, some of them joining Captain and Sosa, and it's so something like really nigga. Like I think it was like the whole I fell asleep with the long lots, the cotton fire, jump out the window, then get hit by the bus. And then, you know, my friends use my ashes in a blunt. And then I'm this ghost, and then I think another scene that's filled out to me is when the ghost the friend came back and he was like, Oh, I'm in heaven with Diggie and two, and we're at the bar getting fucked up or whatever, like that. I was like, oh, I didn't see that going that way when it's a company, so I'm just gonna get tired watching. So, uh, but yeah, that's that's that's my soapbox. I don't care. You know, not to ruin a cult classic, because I'm sure it's in its own rights. But just some things I feel as though when it comes to black comedy, it's one of those things where it needs I prefer it. I feel more comfortable with it. It's done from us.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh no, I I I I agree. There was a scary movie I watched, I think came out maybe like a year or two ago, and it was made by black folks with all black folks, and I said, I didn't see that, but I know it's not hard. Yeah, I was like, oh, okay, this is clearly they they they understood the assignment.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, yeah. Uh yeah, you know, and that's the thing where it's like you know, as black people, you know, black Americans, even though we're not all monopoly, I feel as though we still have like a universal language and black people are understanding at certain moments when it was like the villain may be looked, they're like, or even if I walk by and I'm not gonna head like what's up, you know, that number won't change. And I just feel like this movie didn't land with some of that, you know, for what I was gonna do. Granted it's a story movie, but I feel like like I look at Friday, right? Yeah, like Joe talked about like, you know, they were in the hood, LA game, but there were still some relatable scenes in that movie. One in particular, I don't give a damn if it's your mom's house, your grand's parents' house when Smokey slams that screen door, and John Williams was like, Hey, Yaqui don't get slammed my door. I it is oh yeah. That's real because people are like, you know, you can't do some shit like that, and let me like, or or you leave the door open, Yaaki is gonna close my door, let him out. Like, you know, that's how we said it's done as functional.

SPEAKER_00:

So you know, uh yeah, you saying that makes me think about that scene in uh how high with the mom and red man, and it's like, oh my god, this is like this is like my parents. My mom would be like that, you need to get your shit together, and then uh I say something that she don't want to hear, and then she started beating my ass.

SPEAKER_01:

Shout out to all those bleaks out there, the mothers, you know. But it's just there's some things that are just relatable in the black experience that we can speak about. Like, you know, again, if if you bleaks haven't seen it, it's it's a fairly decent movie. I would suggest being high, but that goes into my other point. Which character was your favorite one that stood out to you?

SPEAKER_02:

Oh man.

SPEAKER_00:

And if I was I would I would say Loki Method Man was probably my top pick outside of the uh the Asian guy.

SPEAKER_01:

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_00:

And and and I was gonna say, I I think the reason why the Asian guy is just it, I don't know. I guess he had the most personal growth through the whole movie. He kind of went from, oh my god, I'm this little nerd jerking off right in front of everybody on the TV screen to bitch, I I just kicked a pimp.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, well, I I met the man, I was saying my favorite character in a sense. I I I he was he was pretty relatable, which I I can, you know, I don't so lead or whatever, but I did like he had a hustle going on. He had in the beginning of the movie the Jamaican guy's like, hey, I have erectile dysfunction. Okay, can you give me some bra like he had restrains for every like scenario or whatever? Another character I thought it was nice for her to I would say except her blackness was called Morgies, I think the actress name I yeah, where she where she worthy later on in the movie she wore the white dress, the memorable dress. Like Bart, he's like, hey, cover that up, your butt sticking out.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, and I'm like, she rather show off those assets, girl.

SPEAKER_01:

Well, I thought it was interesting because the part where like Bart gets upset where she spends time with Method Man, and he's like, Bart's camera goes looking like her. She's like, Y'all Bart? Like the way she said, like, gee, Bart, like the emphasis on the name. I really feel as though I don't know if she was really acting or she was a little frustrated being around. I don't know. I mean again, I don't know if these people all started now. Yeah, but still, I said, Yeah, she kind of felt a little bit uh like that her tolerance was starting to dwindle.

SPEAKER_00:

But I I mean, Method Man even made a quote uh in the at the beginning of the movie, like, oh yeah, you're gonna end up leaving him for me. And I'm like, Oh, I was like, Okay, Mr. Foreshadowing, and I'm like, Oh, yeah, they did get together. But it's just you kind of know why. Like when you know a relationship isn't working for you and someone can see it, they're like, Oh yeah, no, you're not gonna stay much longer.

SPEAKER_01:

He he definitely helped her to get out of that. I thought it was interesting too, red man with like some of the courses, like he failed, or like well, okay, let's let's let's be clear on this to me. I feel like it mentioned a very good point. The comedy that was in that movie back then cannot be today. For police out there who haven't seen How Hive, just be aware that this movie is very, very non-politically correct. So you're gonna get every negative stance. Now, to be fair, I will say, I will, I will say, and I'm gonna, it wasn't primarily just us, as far as the major standards. Because you mentioned, like, you know, the Asian guy, the two white female birds, uh, yeah, who met the man and met my sleep with and they become hoes for the two pips. Um, and you had the the actual hoes, you know what I mean? So it it it kind of covered basic or even um this I don't know the boondocks got inspiration for this the professor who was very cold black, yeah. And I remember that episode in the boombiam to whole phone said is that inspiration that came from the rules? I said, Oh damn. I I think of Harambi the you know what I mean? And he's like, Yeah, black we got this do this and did this and why'd you why would you leave him with your other black friends? Yeah, no protest. Yeah, so I thought that rules stood out in a moment um with the professor and stuff. I was like, oh, Ruckus wouldn't hate one.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh Uncle Ruckus, you just got content for days with this guy. I'm I'm sorry, he's one of the most hilarious, racist, and self-hatred person that I've ever met. Yes, that I've ever seen, I should say.

SPEAKER_01:

And I'm amazed that um again I was amazed to seeing how young all these actors were. Uh and it's kind of one, I was like, damn, you know, I was that young I said then. That's what comedy was back then. So if you think about it, and I don't know if you noticed, nowadays there aren't many big comedies that we have a bit of in the world. Like if you really think about like, and I know we have a lot of streaming platforms, like comedy is seems to be that one genre that just doesn't go to distance anymore.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. They mix it now with horror. There, yeah, yeah, there's a lot of comedy horror. There's not just like a pure comedy type of thing. It's kind of sad, but since I'm not the horror type, I can actually watch horror now because it has that intent of com comedic.

SPEAKER_01:

That's that is true. I feel like it's like the typical slap and slash, white girl trips over something, spreads both their angles.

SPEAKER_00:

And then somehow miraculously the black person ends up dying first.

SPEAKER_01:

And like, wait, this person made it towards the end. Oh, thank god. Thank god. But yeah, we were always the first first to go a little, you know, it's like being a only black person hired at the job, first to be I mean, last to be hired, first to be fired. So that that's just take on it. Um and you work in HR, so maybe you can speak a little bit more.

SPEAKER_00:

No, oh no, but um, I I agree.

SPEAKER_01:

I'm I'm sitting here doing the finger motion, so I was like, you like I I feel like that little bigger motion, where you need you know, you're like, you know, like look that's really what you'd like. I'm like, you ain't got to lie, Craig, you ain't got to lie, he got the point. So but uh but yeah, I mean the antagonist support uh the whole typical preppy white job. And again, you know, they did play into that stereotype. So I can't say I think it's just again, they still may not like not I can't say for white people like tone. But I feel like even though like the man ever the main characters, it still felt like something was like I don't know, bro, like really, like really like you know what I mean? Like I can understand being a hunt or it can have that type of appeal, but does it have to go to that level tone and the phone in just to make a point when you could think of like Friday or next Friday?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, you know. I I don't know, it almost makes me think like like scary movie where the intention isn't necessarily to be ha ha funny, but more so just making fun of every possible stereotype possible.

SPEAKER_01:

So even though smoky are less smoky uh normal one, I can't remember smoky. Yeah, all right, you know, yeah, smokey from Friday the smoke is good. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, but oh I I thought about the scene where he gets shot and he's all back and then he goes like, hey, you want to take a hit of this shit? Like a week smoke. But you know, and I that was that was hilarious, but I'm like, you know, uh the disability, the hands versus legs, yeah. Why don't you give me a standin' over here? Why don't you look at me?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, I I could tell that was I I knew that it was black. I was like, that's some shit, sly shit that we would say. I'm like, mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01:

But you know, so that that's one of those things, but how did you feel about the movie? Okay, so actually, how did you like the movie? How did you and I guess we're gonna kind of touch based on this, but how did you feel about the movie overall as far as like just stolen comedy or just comedy in general? We can do it.

SPEAKER_00:

So so the answer, the short answer is it would to me, I think it was good. The more the the Kyle answer, I should say, is when I get high, it's a it's it's a multifaceted experience. I want to be able to conceptualize and see things for what they are, maybe even see some hidden things within that. I believe this is a good depiction of it. So for me, it's like it was good. Would I watch it again? Yeah, probably not.

SPEAKER_01:

Probably not. Okay, I I kind of got that setting about it. So it's a good movie for what it is. I certainly had to be high on this one. Like, I I you know, this this is yeah, I had to be high. I I I understand it's a cult classic, but there's something that you and I discussed. I was like, I'm not too big of a fan of that versus others, but okay, I just kind of have to keep that in mind. You know, even even if you are a silver yellow, there are some things you're gonna be like that now, you know, like I feel like uh one comedian who did that exceptionally well was Dave Chappelle with a spell show.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh yeah, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01:

Unless Dave Chappelle art issues, the things that are very, very big in our community, but made into a made it to a point where even when he did sketches like like the the nigger game one, you know what I mean? Like the subtle thing where he says where the film was like, Oh hey, would you like to have some part? Oh no, you know, I feel like I'm between a nigga and his park, or something like that. But again, that's something with black people. We kind of know like something. So he's like, Oh, he's like, oh the point he goes, Oh, I I hate the budget, but I know uh y'all think it's like good for paying bills. So, oh, I'm sorry, yeah. Like I just thought the way how he incorporated that, you know, it didn't work. It wasn't like even though they kind of had him in a aesthetically, it was like the 50s, you know what I mean. You know, I don't want to say minstrel of but you know, yeah, certain things in ask like, but the way how he wrote that sketch was perfect on how to make that work, you know.

SPEAKER_02:

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_01:

Like how high, I just felt like again, I just feel like hey, there should be some black writers or Method Man and Red Man can add a little more say so. Like, hey bro, hey, I know you trying to, I know what you think is funny for us from us, but it's really not. Like, let us kind of like take the range, and we can reach out to some black comedians to make it more appealing to the masses when it comes to this, uh yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, and of course, you know, back then. Yeah, it's yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

But okay, so last talking funny. If how high was a phone join one for one, from the lowest puff one to five being the highest, how many puffs would you take of how high if you were to spray the marijuana before you pass it?

SPEAKER_00:

I could do three.

SPEAKER_01:

Okay, all right, fine, all right.

SPEAKER_00:

What about you?

SPEAKER_01:

Silver two. Oh that that's that's that's just my stick on it. But you know, for some ways of everybody actually wasn't, you know what I mean? Um, I feel like with that type of lighting of comedy, it appealed to me more with hell than humor versus how high. I just feel like when it comes to how high and you have two black main characters, yeah, and I'm like, look, there are black stolen movies that don't have a backlog like this. And that was my only. I just feel like it took me to be high to get past that. You know, especially the scene where the game is getting someone's wife. Yeah, and they both like they both still like some uh George Clinton.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, remember that you know I've never seen him act like this, you know. That was another scene that kind of like, you know, so I I I get it. But but weeks, I apologize for the delay, but that is all that we have for this episode for uh how high review season five, episode seven. So we have a lot of content coming out. I apologize for the delay. We do have a site out, botfelling.com. Definitely check that out. I'll have that site in the description as well. We now have our new grateful host, Kyle. Uh Kyle, do you want to say anything before we close up?

SPEAKER_00:

Or yeah, you know, um I'm truly grateful to be able to express and be able to relate because I'm so used to being on my own and meeting people to eventually connect. So it was really nice to immediately connect and just know. So um, you know, thank you for that. Um to all the other bleaks, just keep listening in. There's gonna be all sorts of fun things we're gonna be talking about.

SPEAKER_01:

Yes, guys, you know, again, I'm gonna update the blog site itself. I'll put some pictures up there with some events that how and I attended. Um, you know, there's a sexy nerd party venue that travels across the globe. So definitely look on your right off of that. I, you know, I had a great time. He had a great time, but there's again, a lot of nerd culture is very mainstream now, guys. And you know, I just want to connect with everyone. And I'm thinking about also putting that more on the side as far as like little pictures and you know to see who the tribe members are and who want to connect and network because I know I'm trying to go through earlier, I just want a voice one down my face, but you know, again, there's more concept that come out, and just be safe about doing this.
