Summary

On New Year's Eve 2016, Zach “Jesus Hands” Fernandez risked his life to change two letters on the world's most iconic sign. For the very first time, he tells Abdullah and Bean exactly how he did it, and why it was worth the risk. They also get pretty blazed and have a lot of laughs. Jesus Hands says that when the deed was done, he celebrated by smoking a joint of Jack Herer and listening to the song "The World' Smiling Now" by Jim James of My Morning Jacket. The episode also tells the story of Danny Finegood, the first person to change the Hollywood sign to say Hollyweed in 1976. PATREON Please support Great Moments in Weed HIstory on Patreon.
