0:30.9

one. So strap in. Are you excited, Christy? Oh, I'm so excited. Let's get into it. Let's do it. Hi, Christy. Hey, Sophie. How's it going? Good. How are you? Welcome to another episode of snark bait. It's Monday, April 21st. By the way, did you celebrate 420? I had to ask. You know what? So I have historically been a huge pothead. Anyone who knows me, my family, my friends, like, knows I've been a pothead. And for some

1:12.3

reason, I have, like, hit some sort of, like, wall this year where, like, all of a sudden I get

1:17.5

anxiety. I never thought it would happen to me. And everyone's like, but it's the strain. I'm like,

1:21.0

shut up. I'm the most seasoned pothead. I have been smoking weed longer than you've been alive. Shut up. Shut up. Like, I'm not just saying that to sound cool.

1:29.6

Like, I literally have been smoking weed for like almost 20 years now.

1:32.9

So, like, shut up.

1:34.1

So, yeah, like, I don't know what it is.

1:36.1

1:47.3

mom like life is very lifey lately and I think that just like I don't know so I this was like my

1:55.3

first year and maybe ever since I started smoking weed that I didn't celebrate it. Did you? No, I did not.

2:01.9

But in the pod collective group chat, we were chatting and everyone was like, someone was asking

someone a question. And then someone in the group was like, I can't answer you because I'm too

2:10.4

stoned. And I'm like, oh my God, it's 420. Like it totally slipped my mind. That's so funny.

2:15.5

Shut up. I've been a pot. Shut up. For longer than you've been

2:18.8

alive. No, but like I will, I will like even like the past few months, like I'll just like take

2:24.4

like an edible and just like hang out. Like I literally used to smoke like for social settings.

2:29.4

Like before I left the house, I would hit my like weed pen. I would bring my weed pen everywhere.
