Description
Kevin is here!! Mark is back from Jamaica! He promised stories, but he's delivering a vibe report instead. Fresh off a quick trip to celebrate a friend's 40th birthday, Mark spent his days poolside from 8am to 6pm, opened a beer at 7 in the morning with a Cuban cigar, and somehow showed up to the group's beach dinner in the wrong shirt while every other guy in the crew got the memo. There were no wild stories. Not even one. He may have even sat next to former NBA player Derek Coleman on the flight home... and then said absolutely nothing about it.
The crew pivots to a news story that has no business being funny and somehow gets worse every time someone asks a follow-up question. A group of high school kids decided to TP their popular teacher's house for a senior prank. The teacher came outside to stop them, tripped in the road, and was struck by one of the getaway cars. He did not survive. The driver is now facing vehicular homicide charges. What started as a stupid toilet paper prank, ended with five kids whose lives will never be the same.
From there, the conversation turns to the dumb things teenagers do and why they do them, including Bill's own highlight reel of driving 100 miles an hour on rural roads before school and surfing on the roof of a moving car. His son just turned 16. The worry is real.
Finally, New York State is running out of weed. How is this even possible?! Mark suggests going to Jamaica where there's plenty, Kevin wonders if growing it has become a lost art? Bill points out that the plug is probably fine; the legal supply chain is the issue.This makes Bill reflect on Weed's full story arc so far; from his fourth-grade teacher literally burning marijuana in class to warn kids away from it, all the way to micro-dosing mints being advertised on his phone while he was sitting on the toilet. It's a full-circle moment for American drug policy.
Jamaica, felony Toilet Papering, and a statewide weed shortage. It's just that kind of episode
