It probably will be after today, but we have first DIBs on it, and we're gonna play

Hey, the um I'm hear a lot of sports. MAVs won. There's a whole new TV streaming situation. Justsee what's going on there with the bundle. I kept seeing some headline, but I feel that interested. I'll handle it and it'll be quickly and like just like just all you need to know now. I like it. I

Tomorrow we're in debut some some of the leaked Super Bowl commercials tomorrow at eight o'clock shocking are starting to come out a little bit. You have no idea how shocking some of them are. Is that eight o'clock tomorrow, eight o'clock tomorrow. Yeah, okay, that's why I've showed up all week. It's for eight o'clock tomorrow. Yeah,

that's why I'm here. This is the grand payoff. Huh. Playline first, then get mine out of the way. No, we'll find him. We found him. I am groggy today. Why did you have a candlelight dinner and listen to some Toby Keith? Yeah? No, I think I think I owed deed on my sleep syrup last night and Danny's got a new regiment in the experimental phase. Bro, you can talk about it. Did you have some whiskey? No? No, not that I took a page out of your your you and Cash Sarroy's weekend book. Oh bad weeknight

plan? When are we talking about that? Your review? Still right now? Okay, okay, let me reset this. Yeah, all right. So last week came to our attention. I guess this stuff's been out there for a few months, but it seems like the last two weeks, I've seen a spike in digital marketing and targeting for this particular type of product. And like everything else, you see an ad on Instagram, it's like that looks interesting, You click one, and then every other post in your feed

is a product of a similar product. Product in question. Here is a THHC infused beverage, a microdose of th HC in a delicious sparkling drink. I believe one of the brands was called Breeze. One is called to help me out, g Seltzer is the one that I've been hi Seltzer H. And then there's one called Delta, I believe, And we've talked about this last week when We had a guy on that kind of what was his name, and we did chilling with Dylan. He knew a lot about it,

and I believe he did. He did, trust me, dude. It's a dead end street. It's one big career cul de sac, just a bunch of just a bunch of cats at the end of that street and rats. You don't want to go down there. They were yelling at you, telling you what to do anyway. So Kevio decided, you know what, I'm going to spec So I'm going to get myself a little six pack of this stuff and try it out. Because the thing is is, we all

know that drinking is probably not good for you. Alcohol. It's literal poison. But we love it and it's delicious, yeah, and it makes social situations a little more easier to get into and navigate. But more often than not we have more than two drinks. Sometimes we have thirteen drinks, and that's when we're getting stuffed into the back of a blue and white car with special made bracelets. So Kevin decided, you know what, I'm going to

try this. I'm cutting back on my sauce. I'm gonna try this thing and see how it works out. So Kevin, Mikey and I were texting, is like, oh, we need a CAVO update on how the marijuana seltzer is going for you. Yeah, and so I have about a four pack for twelve dollars. I have but two four packs, a four pack of cherry and a four pack of pineapple, Like those would the flavors to go to. I overpassed wild berry, watermelon, and lemon lime, so

I went cherry first. Again, this is Delta eight, so it's legal. It is five grams of THCHC allegedly. I don't know that it all makes sense to me, but whatever, it's legal today. Yeah, drank it. The taste was okay. I've definitely had regular vodka infused seltzers that were not like worse so it, but it wasn't like you could tell there's no sugar in this. There's no sugar, there's no carbs, none of that stuff, so then you could tell. But it was still good and

good enough like they've actually on the website. It came with like a couple of recommended things you could do like that with like a into a diet cokeerth and how that would so had it after about twenty thirty minutes, I noticed a little bit of I would say, like, I don't know if pressure is the word, but you know, your face started feeling kinda funny, but didn't feel weird, just felt very comfortable. And then I was like,

well, I don't know if this is doing anything that. I didn't feel like I was drunk, you know, like I mean, I was in for the night, but I certainly felt like I could have drove somewhere if I wanted to. Then I had a second one and pine I'll rank cherry above pineapple in terms of flavor. On that, I don't think anybody really cares about how they take. They don't. And then I had that and then yeah, I felt not high, not drunk, but just kind of in a haze, like a good haze, like a good haze,

though yeah, not like far brain haze. Relaxed and very relaxed. I'll say a little sleepy. It made me a little sleepy. So that would take out the public, yeah, you know, hanging out socializing element of it, unless usually I don't know. I cut it off because I was kind of good, and I popped on that Weird World documentary. It was having trouble remembering. For a second, I swear I thought those people were looking at me. You know. Okay, that's where it got weird,

Jesus Kevin, Yeah, that's where it got strange. You went from sleepy to writing the Snake. I was like, why is Bruce Springsteen staring at me? Right now? Stop it? Steve Wander's looking at me, and I'm like, I know you can see all that stuff's had going on. And then the next day I was drowsy, which I don't love. But when I do it again, absolutely, and what I drink more at it? And one said absolutely I would because I think you need to see far

you can, cause that was I should have. I was in for the night. I should have done six of them, five of them four three? Should I have done two? Is? Yeah, I should have two more than I did. You would have done after your third you would have been asleep on the floor on a bed of cans. Is that how you felt? Okay? So I was. You know, we're following this text thread on getting Kevo. We'd drink updates. I'm like, man, I

kind of want to do this. So there's a head shop vape store in my neighborhood and I popped in and there's a guy that works there that I've run into on occasion, and he's cool, and I said, hey, man, do you guys carry this stuff? And he said, no, They're just not really cost effective for us. They're the profit the what we had, what we charge for them, and what we pay. It's not worth it for us to have them. And he goes in to be quite

honest, you're not getting any bang for your buck. They're too expensive for the amount of active ingredient that's in them in the the the Seltzer drinks. He goes, but I do have the syrup that they use for the drinks. I'm like, okay, And it's just basically a syrup with a It tells you how many milligrams are in each serving and recommended what they you know, recommend I said, well, how much you know, just you know, to feel a little relaxed. He said, well, recommended serving is

one tea spoon. It's like, yeah, well, I read that this stuff hits you in like ten minutes and it only lasts about an hour. He goes, No, you take one serving of this, it's lasted longer

than an hour. Bro, It's like, okay, so I'm thinking, okay, so I've looked at the can of what Kevin had and kind of figured out fractioned it out to determine, Okay, this is the amount you would have to equal one can of what Kevin was having the high Seltzer and I had one glass of that of water with lemon juice in it, and one little quarter teaspoon like after one Okay, that's fine, I don't really detect much difference. Let's re up after about thirty minutes. So I got

to basically what you had, and I felt like you did. This is great. I could go to bed right now. This is on the weekend, but happy and feeling good. Yeah, yeah, I slept good and yeah, and no foggy head. You know, like if you smoke a joint and you just have that, your head's just like coated and fuzz and all you think about is death. That's me a little bit of anxiety. And I'm like, this is kind of fun. I don't have to wake up early tomorrow. Let's double it. So then I went back and made

another glass of lemon water and did a full half a tea spoon. So at this point I'm at the serving that the headshop dude said this is gonna get you. Oh boy. I mean I slept great, but I did have the foggy, foggy hayes all day the next day, and anxiety, no, no, no, never any of that, just the there was just kind of like this, Yeah, just draggy. Didn't you pass out

in your living room? Though? I slept on my couch until about four fifteen in the morning with Netflix blasting on auto play on something that I had no idea what it was. God, that's great. I just woke up and just woke up. My dog's sitting there looking at me, and all the lights are on, like where am I and went to sleep? I'm confusing. Yeah, so I'm thinking, okay, I can manage this.

So night before last, I do the half dose about an hour before bed, went to bed at a good hour, slept perfect, woke up exhilarated, the best, probably the second best night of sleep I've had since we you and I moved to mornings like I'm onto something. I did it again last night, but I think I did it too close to going to bed. I think I was just gonna fall asleep anyways, I didn't take a nap yesterday, just went to bed. But I'm like, I'll do this

again. But I did it too close to going to sleep, so I never really felt the tired effects of the active ingridt Yeah, I was just tired. I didn't need it, and I'll be damned if I didn't wake up the day at four having gotten seven hours of sleep. Guys, Yeah, Joe Biden did what huh. I saw some listeners like weigh in and they were like, don't I wouldn't drive after two of them. No,

I wouldn't either. And this again, this hasn't been FDA approved, So this is the type of thing that could approve Hypothetically, this could go off the market or could be constricted to what you can have more deadly. But also I don't think you would go off the market because you can. You know, you can buy alcohol and go driving. Just ask Patrick Mahomes's father, you know, and he'll have the coers like in the cup holder when he gets pulled over. So yeah, I will say. The review of

the effects of it, it's it's not like getting high. It's more like just kind of a body relaxing thing and you're not in your head. There's absolutely zero anxiety, zero head spinning. When I went to bed, it was just chill. So I don't know. I think I think once you kind of figure out how to use this stuff and use it when needed.

Yeah, it's very odd because you're still drinking these things knowing that there's some intoxicant I guess or sure mood altering substance, and a lifetime of drinking alcohol. You know, you associate that with a normal you know, result of drinking something alcoholic, and which is you have multiple and you know the journey that you're embarking on, I suppose, and you know your tolerance level,

you know when to stop right, you know when to keep going. But this you're just wild West in it and no idea what the intended result really even is and when you're already there and when you have passed it, yeah, and when to double it? Uh huh. But like you said, you thought you could drive, but yeah after one, Yeah, after two, I was like, no, that would have been a bad play.

And I will say this, as far as the social effects of it, I did not feel like this would have the same effect socially that alcohol would. It would probably make me just want to go to bed, which is great because that's all I ever want to do anyway, go to bed. But you know you're kind of like, I mean, I've all but quit drinking as like two years ago. I rarely drink at all, So I'm

like, I kind of miss that aspect. It's I mean, it's fun, you know, yeah, but also my nature, I know who I am that once I hit that too, it's like, let's go much like I would do with alcohol in the past. It's gotta be weird to have two of a drink that messes you up a little bit and then what just have water after that? Well, I was kind of pacing myself on the weekend, so that's another thing, is I was, you know, going slow and just sipping it like I would like a glass of water. I

should have had. I should have been drinking more water while I drink this man, because that kind of felt dehydrated on Saturday. But you know, I went out Saturday too. I had four whiskeys, two shots, and three beers. So yeah, that led to a bad Sunday. So you know, looking back at it, I'll say this Friday night thing over what happened Saturday night in terms of the drinking, but it was, you know,

I don't know, like Friday, I'm going to Choctaw. I probably get turned up a little bit, and I don't know that I would be having the Seltzer based hemp drinks there, you know, not that I don't know if they would have them or not. But whatever, So these are specs, there's specs and whatever, your dude. I went to a bar Saturday night late because you know, we were in an uber situation. So

we were coming back home, so I was we were pretty rammed. Went over to a bar near my place and they had these high selter drinks in there, like behind the counter really and a little mini fridge. So I tried the wild berry flavor. How did that work out? Great? Loved it. Tried the lemon lime, loved it. After you were already kind of drunk. Yeah, okay, how that treat is you get the spins? Well, so it was actually so she had ordered it spins, so

she had ordered it. I just tasted it, so I didn't drink it, you know, so it didn't affect me anyway, and you couldn't have stopped me. At that point. I was full Cavio. Is there anything worse than getting back to your house after the bar, getting out of the uber and walking inside and you're just blasted. Its like I'm going to smoke a joint and it immediately turns into hell and you lie in bed and the spins come. Oh my god. I will do anything in the world to

avoid spin related vomiting. I've walked around like a mile and a half in a block around my neighborhood in the past, like ten times times, just to please go away, please go away. I haven't had the spins and spins. I don't know that I've ever had the spins. It's over a decade. The worst when you're laying in bed and then you try the trick of put one foot on the ground and you're in your own bed like dangling one just because you've read that somewhere controlled breathing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What to do when you get the spins, and it's the first thing, Okay, this will do it. The best thing to do during the spins. Don't put one foot on the ground, put one finger down your throat and get it over or right when the spins start and you're lucky enough to just go to sleep and beat them to bed against the spins. God, well, I don't know if you all entice me to purchase in and try these beverages. Once I get the dosage figured out, I'm getting close,

man, I like working out the details. Yeah, Timothy, this stuff over here. Don't have three friends over Danny. What kind of a chemist here? Oh yeah, we're not going to come watch the Chiefs game with you. It's like seventy degrees outside. We will over much Jeopardy though. You're not going to freeze to death in my backyard. Oh yeah, brother, Cash got some of these when you did the same Yeah last week, and I think you said he had a good time with it. He

tweeted him out. Cash is ahead of it. He got one that was a little more extreme, I think than the high celter. Yeah. Someone said, does a show up on a drug test? Yes it does. We're told that it does. Yeah, it's so weird weed. It's like the It's like gambling in the state. It's all this gray area where there's loopholes and no one really knows who the line is and who's really policing it on the in these middle grounds, you know. Yeah, like great sports

gambling not legal here, but look around. I mean you can play sordid apps and it's all kind of you know, you can sort of do it. You just can't. I just can't bet on if the MAVs are gonna cover the spread. Yeah against the nets. That no, no, no, that everything else. But I can put five hundred dollars on Kyrie getting over twenty five and a half points and you know Dwight Powell having three and a half blocks and assists, and that's perfectly legal in a parlay. That's

fine. It's strange. Heavens. No, you can't bet on on the MAVs covering the line. That would be a sin against Jesus. Yeah, if you bet against the line, you know, that's a wild west man. But I would recommend from a price point the syrup. And this bottle is pretty big and it's like fifty bucks and I've kind of done the after trying it three different times. This thing would last me like three months. Yeah, where is the I think what you got a four pack? It's

like what eleven bucks or something? Yeah for eleven I like how he introduced the seltzer and that was I let's try this and you ended up with a jug of syrup concentrated and you're asleep in your fully lit living room. I don't think you did it right. It was my first time I told you that's step right. I'd like to purchase one of your seltzers. No no, no, no no, I'm just not good at the the ingestibles.

They're in the can you have them? Guys, about like about two months ago that I tried the gummy to go to sleep and woke up the next day and almost needed to call an ambulance. Barely even made it to work, And I don't know if I can go to work today. You had to call it nine one one. I don't know that I would trust the edible in this fentanyl world we live in. I don't know, man, you kind of did go full Jordan Willis for a minute. That's a reference.

I'll figure it out. Don't worry. Don't worry about me. I wanted to do this whole week. This is just j J. There's a number right there at the top of the the document. I want you to call Samstown in Las Vegas live on the air. It's what are you gonna ask? Four twenty two. I'm asking them if they ever seen the Killers walk through there. Samstown is the name of my favorite album of all time. Oh really yeah. In fact, a friend of mine gave me a

pack of Sam'stown playing cards, you know, which is very nice. What a cool little Vegas gift, right, just because they know is Samstown even in Vegas proper? Or is that in like prim I don't know the difference. Man, I've never been to Vegas, never been in Vegas? Can you let it ring on the air? Jjy is it possible? You're just thinking of endless. They're not gonna answer because it's four am. Is it a casino or what is it? Yeah, it's it's a hotel and casino,

but it's not really in Vegas. So you're halfway to Henderson. Well that's all right. Samstown hotel and gambling hall sounds badass, doesn't it? Like gambling hole.
