Shannon recalls painting pictures of dead bodies and crime scene clothes while high years ago, then the group compares weed versus uppers like Adderall and cocaine, and Tim mocks the idea of a whole genre built around drugs or sex talk.

In this bit9 moments
  • 2:56Tim painted pictures from the morgue while smoking weed in 2010 or 2012, depicting dead bodies, drains full of flesh, and organs like spleens.
  • 3:17One painting featured clothes from a homicide spread out and hung in the morgue.
  • 3:37Tim says that brief period was the only time he actually liked weed; every other time he gets too high and starts sweating and staring at people's skulls.
  • 3:55He much prefers uppers like Adderall, which he finds fun and social, with racing heart and flowing ideas.
  • 4:12Weed puts him in a turtle shell situation where he becomes body conscious and starts feeling his fat oozing out of his ears.
  • 4:30When high on weed, Tim loses all inhibitions and all he wants to do is eat.
  • 4:46Stoner comedy never appealed to Tim because he doesn't understand why smoking weed should be a whole entertainment genre, comparing it to making content about sex or lubes.
  • 5:15Tim argues that liking something—whether weed or sex—shouldn't automatically become a vocation or require endless dialogue and podcasts about it.
  • 5:42He questions whether stoner comedies like Super Troopers really need extensive dialogue when the subject is just about getting high.
