It's like and then I put that up on my Instagram as a poll and it was like 70 I was like Do I sound like a nerdy white guy? Yes or no? It was just 76% and then I just went down the list and I blocked every single person Is kind of crazy use that every time you say I don't sound white I'm just gonna say 76% Aaron special day today. It's your favorite holiday. I Aw, dude.
Thank you, dude. Is that why you wore that shirt? Yeah, I was celebrating all morning. Almost forgot about the podcast, dude. But happy 420, everyone. Happy April 20th.

It's like, what?
Why?
We would love to know on this Christian podcast. Where 420 came from.
Everyone tell us about your craziest 420 story. Did you ever, when you used to partake, have you ever had like psychosis? Yeah, 100%. Yeah, same. I got so blasted one time. Like I literally, the colors in my, like it looked like a static TV.
Yeah. No, for me, it was more like when I did edibles. Yeah. Edibles was when I was like, I remember seeing like a gnome, like one of those like elves. I was like, what? It was like a, it didn't look like it, but the shape of it.
And I was tripping.
I was like, oh man, I'm never doing this again, bro.
I'm forever in the boat that weed is one of the most harmful drugs because people think it's not harmful.
Yeah, it's that knockout punch, the one that you don't see coming or the one you underestimate, 100%. Dang, that's crazy. Yeah. Yeah.
But anyways, we are anti-420 here. So if you're even reaching for it or thinking about it, repent. Yeah. Facts.
Do the right repentance. I'm just kidding. But yeah. So surrender. I was I was the reason why I came up with this topic today was because I kind of was reflecting on things that were not only happening recently, but just on my life in general.
