Dude, that guy rolling joints has been at it the whole podcast 😳 😂 props

[@user-hu4nc3oz3b]

YOOOOOOOOO RIGHT lol

[@statlerandy9399]

These guys have godly weed tolerances lmao

[@ghostcat8244]

🤣 I remember I had the same tolerances for it.. reason why I had to take a long break to get it all out my system.

[@mr.keiser4259]

It’s so hard to get unhooked to as well lmao. But holy shit being sober feels amazing

[@statlerandy9399]

@@mr.keiser4259 not for me. I’m more miserable when I’m sober personally. Abstinence doesn’t work for me. Moderation instead.

[@statlerandy9399]

@@mr.keiser4259 but these guys definitely have a serious problem

[@mr.keiser4259]

I mean everyone at some point realizes how much of a bad habit smoking weed heavily on a daily basis is to you. I started to instantly forget what I said or what others said to me, never retained anything, zoned out, couldn’t sleep well, and I just didn’t feel engaged in anything I did. It took me months to get it out of my system and I smoke ocassionally but never that heavily again. I can focus and I even stopped repeating stuff like “you know what im saying” in every sentence. I also ennunciate my words more and more and it’s just helped my social interactions so much. I get that weed makes you feel music differently and makes everything nicer but there’s nothing like being sober. Craves come here and there but yeah personally I have good discipline with shit like that (unless is soda hahaha I workout and i cut hella bad habits but soda is one of those craves that beat me)

[@johnnyrose5022]

Man I've been listening to your podcast every day at work. It's been my new favorite jam. Feels like chopping the show scene up with the big homies I grew up listening to. Keep it up Garza you got a good thing going with this podcast.

Take a shot everytime Dave say “fawkin”

[@solidxangryjoer4233]

The more you are around people smoking weed all day long, the higher your tolerance becomes. Still, the first 5 minutes are hell for me xD I love the band, watching this video gives me this feeling I only had a couple of times as a kid when the few family members I liked came over for Christmas.

Dude at the bottom of the screen rolled frog legs for an hour and a half. What a purpose in life.

[@DiMiTri-ys7ei]

Wait wasn't jimmy pino the original drummer? Did this guy just say he was in it since the beginning?

[@bobbycrow3874]

He was a member from 2016-2019. I originally played guitar for the band, then drums, then bass, then back to drums. I have always been primarily a drummer but was really interested in branching out when I met the guys in 2014. Our actual “original” drummer was Greg Charley, nice guy, he ended up leaving in 2015. There were a few other guys in and out the door around that time, but I was present for the release of the first album and was playing drums in our first ever music video for Mouth Sewn Prophets. It’s been quite a long road since then lol, hope that helps clear up anything for you! And thanks for watching

Nice, nice, you should try to get Dickie Allen on the podcast since he lives in California.. that would cool if Aaron and Eddy could join too.

[@Zyklon_B_still_and_know_God]

Not sure why Bobby is trying to rewrite history. He had nothing to do with "Senseless Order" he may be the longest standing member but all original members are gone.

[@Jeff.Wilson]

This interview is kinda... like... you know what I mean

[@BendakStarkillerr]

I lost track of how many 🦴 they’ve smoked 🤣

[@KukoKonji]

Man i was really looking forward to this. But it was absolutely no fun when your guests are that stoned…
