Hey.

Joe, you look good.

Oh, thank you, man.

You did. You- you- you look like, uh, you've- you're well rested. Like the COVID lockdown has done you well.

Thank you. You know, I- I ... D- during this thing I- I came up with a program, uh, called the "Dial It Back A Little Bit" program and it's like AA except there's only six steps but you don't get completely sober. So it's gonna be very popular, I think. And, uh, the first step was, "Ron, why don't you quit drinking so fucking much?"

And what is so fucking much? Like what- what's the numbers?

Ah, you know, it's a half a mile of tequila a night or something like that. Maybe a little more.

Jesus.

Uh, wound back to a third. (laughs)

By the way, these little cigars are the shit. These are really good. Romeo & Julieta tiny cigars.

Yeah, that- that's the, uh, the mini cigarillo.

Mm-hmm.

So there's one that's a little bit bigger than that, uh, that's called a cigarillo and these are the minis and I started, like I was saying, at ... When I was playing golf, you know, that- that just- whenever it's time for me to hit I just throw it away and light another one, you know.

Right.

So there's 20 of 'em for $15 bucks, so you know, as opposed to a $15 cigar which is what I usually smoke. Something like that. And, uh ...

But it's good tobacco?

Yeah, it's really good.

You can tell. It's like a real cigar.

It's the same thing that's in their big old premium cigars, just rode by- rolled by the junior rollers. That's how they learn.

Yeah. And you look like you're smoking a blunt.

But, we're clearly not.

Clearly. And, uh, in Austin what were you saying about the rules? It's like a qua- what did- you could have as much as a quarter of a pound before they arrest you?

Uh, yeah.

Something crazy like that?

A quarter of a pound, is that right? Yeah, uh, and that- and if you just say it's, uh, CBD, CDB, whatever, nugs, then, uh, th- they would have to test it and they don't wanna test it. They got other things to do. So ...

They have CBD stores out here, folks. It's- it's very strange. They have stores that sell CBD joints but marijuana's illegal.

Right. So I don't know. You know? My- my son is in that business, and, uh, it- it- and it is confusing. The- the, uh, and I think (laughs) that's what helps, you know?

Yeah.

Is, uh, they- they got dizzy trying to figure it out. But I was going through LAX on the way out here a week early, and, um ... Because we set this up for, uh, we- we were talking on Friday and you said next Tuesday, the 8th. Well I don't even know what month it is much less-
