AND WE’RE BACK!!! Welcome to a new year, a new mic, and a NEW episode 52!!! Join your hosts and stoner buddies Magick Sam and Zekiel Parchment as they have a virtual smoke sesh with you!
After a much longer than they thought holiday hiatus, the lads are happy to be back and get things rolling with a new microphone! Before they get into it, they introduce the strains of the day, direct from Humboldt County, Vanilla Frosting, and Banana Kush from Colorado. They talk about the new setup, and roll into the state of the streets of New Orleans, get back to Vanilla Frosting’s details, then roll to commemorate the fact that it is the first time in over 2 years that your hosts have properly shared a bowl.
The lads then take us on a journey to the Mardi Gras season that 2022 offered for each. Zekiel takes us on a shroom tinged trip through Krewe du Vieux in which he wasn’t quite aware of who he was parading with; the scene of MOM’s Ball, and the sea of pink it created and the good vibes, which leads to a pondering on vague open ended themes for balls and parties, and what can come of the creative looks of the season; the tale turns to Zekiel’s taking in of the Krewe of Muses Parade, the Mardi Gras chill house party scene. Magick Sam then recounts his by far much less busy Mardi Gras, in which he treks through the Bywater with the costumery and community flowing through the streets. After a long night on Lundi Gras. Zekiel then takes us along with his own Mardi Gras day stroll with a stop at a stripper pole.
Suddenly a spider appears on the ceiling, just to make a little guest appearance. But it leads to pondering just how much devices like our phones might be listening to us, or enabling others to. They decide to test a little theory to see if their smartphones are in fact feeding things like social media algorithms. The super special secret word/topic they choose: “MERINGUE”. Which leads to a little aside and complaints about the fluffy confection. A ramble begins that leads into a glimpse of the middle aged person’s mind, and some gaming nostalgia. We get a quick review of the new Matrix:Resurrections by Zekiel. Capsule review: it’s better than Mortal Kombat (2021), and ok to check out if it's already on some platform you have access to. They wrap up with some words of wisdom, such as what is the key to a great costume? Pockets. And if nothing else, respect the glue gun.
We’re happy to be back, and can’t say enough thank you’s to you for joining us!!!!
