Games That Jonathan and Seth Play
19:20 – Seth asks Jah if he knows both his license plate number and driver’s license number – Jah does, but Seth says most people do not.
7:08 – Sniff Dogs, a drug detection company out of N.J. and Ohio, supplies parents with trained Labrador retriever drug-sniffing dogs. They cost $200/hour and can detect weed, heroin, cocaine, crystal and Xanax.
12:36 – Seth picks up a pamphlet from The National Institute on Drug Abuse and reads all the street names for marijuana
58:47 – A new meth thievery is happening – authorities in California, Arizona and Nevada have begun putting microchips in the state’s cactuses because of so many of them being stolen – you can get between $100 - $800 for giant mature cacti. They sell them to local landscapers and nurseries
1:00:08 – Seth types in “slang terms for marijuana” in his Google search and just starts listing them all off, Jah takes the reins over at 1:02:53 as they list them over background music. This goes all the way until they say “seatbelts” at 1:05:55

7:56 – Seth went to the California Science Center today and saw a traveling exhibit for school kids across America called Target America: Opening Eyes to the Damage Drugs Cause. Seth got there at 10 a.m., joined the kids who were on a field trip and he got bum-rushed on the third floor. He saw an actual jungle cocaine processing plant, while sitting with a 6-year-old black boy and an 8-year-old white girl. He saw recreations like a crack house with a tipped over baby crib and a handgun next to the bed, a bedroom of a teen girl who accessed the web to get illegal drugs – a scary scene for Seth, another where you press a red button and lights come up and a hotel rises up, you’re in any motel in the country, where they’re making crystal meth. He also was surrounded by hoop nightmares, where he was making shots, then he put on the glasses that recreated intoxication and missed shots and kids laughed at him. He walked through a drug smuggling tunnel as well.
2:47 – John McCain during a rally in N.H.: “…rates were cunt in the Bush years.”
4:42 – Quote from David Sodaris: “I look at these people and I can’t quite believe they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want a lot of attention? To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and eventually parks it beside my seat. ‘Can I interest you in the chicken,’ she asks, ‘Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?’ To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask, ‘How is the chicken cooked?’”
16:29 – McCain’s campaign has used quite a few songs during rallies and speeches, and several artists have written letters because the songs have been used without permission: Bon Jovi’s “Who Says You Can’t Go Home”; Jackson Browne’s “Runnin’ On Empty” ; Foo Fighters “My Hero”; Van Halen “Right Now”; John Mellencamp “Pink Houses”; and Heart “Barracuda.”
20:29 – Miller Coors LLC has announced they will discontinue production of the original alco-pop, Zima. They claim there is enough to last through Christmas of 2008.
