Actor/Writer John Flynn ( Baked!: Sex, Drugs, and Alternative Comedy, Upright Citizen Brigade) was working with the UCB theater in New York and needed money to fly his acting troupe to San Francisco to perform in Showgirls: The Best Movie Ever Made! Ever! To get the capital, he started a VERY successful marijuana cookie business. And the rest is history! (well, for a few years anyways!)

| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's storyworthy. Today on the show, actor, director, and writer John Flynn talks about |
| 0:07.6 | the business of baking. There's definitely a process. The process I was using at the time was |

| 0:21.8 | And as it froze, the water and the butter, they're different weights so they separate. |
| 0:26.2 | So once it's frozen solid, you take it out of the freezer, you cut the butter, the weed |
| 0:30.2 | butter from the ice, and then you just make whatever you want with the butter. |
| 0:33.4 | I had two huge shopping bags filled with cookies, just like in Ziploc bags, inside containers, to go off to this holiday party. |

| 1:41.7 | Go back, you guys. |
| 1:42.9 | Listen to Brian Karam. Well, his story's not funny because he talks about he just got back from Ukraine. So he talks about going and he's going back over as well. This guy, he's so interesting. So go back, listen to Brian Karam last week, but not today, because today I'm here with another fabulous person, |
