JCW ARCHIVE: The 4/20 Special
About this episode
A 4/20 “JCW archive” clip turns into a nostalgia-fueled, comedy-heavy chat about weed culture—starting with coworkers calling in sick and an “answer machine” full of stoned messages. The conversation quickly shifts to childhood stories: a third-grader encounter with a guitarist who offered marijuana, and a high-school keg party moment where a girl abruptly leaves after realizing what she’s seeing. The tone then becomes more reflective with a teen intern’s take on today’s vaping/THC landscape, plus a parent’s real-life discipline story and debate over whether cannabis helps focus or “dumbs people down.”
Puff, puff and pass your time with JCW and the crew as they do their best to recount their fondest memories of the devil's lettuce with some of our best herb crusted bits. From the crew voicemail to John's own kids, everybody is celebrating in the sky! Won't you spark one up and join us this weekend??

"And I went with him. He lured me back to his apartment behind Stop and Go. His parents were gone."
“Stop and go” means driving in traffic where you keep stopping and starting. It usually burns more fuel and can wear out things like brakes faster.
“Stop and go” refers to slow, stop-start driving—like city traffic. It’s hard on brakes and can increase fuel consumption because the engine and drivetrain are constantly accelerating and decelerating.
