It's no secret that hip hop has suffered in recent years. The culture has definitely come a long way but I think it's safe to say that we are in the valley of rhyme right now. We are no where near the peaks that we saw through the 80's, 90's up to the early 2000's.The younger generation has been inundated with mumble rap, grillz and nonsensical lyricism. I've been waiting for the day that some of the older more established wordsmiths make them selves known again.Finally we have that. With new album drops from the likes of Snoop Dogg, Dr Dre with Missionary, the much anticipated follow up to Doggy Style. Redman with his release of Muddy Waters Too and now Wutang going on a final world tour. The teachers have taken control of the class and it's back in session, forcing the culture to take notice.Hip Hop is coming back in a heavy way and I only hope that this younger generation is taking notes. The OG's of rap are putting their stamp on the game again in a big way and it's time for the culture now to recognize what made it so prevalent.Hip Hop is back baby!Hope you enjoy the sesh!Subscribe and visit Tots420.com

Canada has really stepped up the national pride lately. It's quite nice to see. We're always labeled the polite ones, the ones who can be pushed, the ones who say sorry if we bump in to you, fix your shirt collar and coat and be on our way. However we do pride our selves on being sarcastic, well informed, knuckle heads ready to drop gloves at the first hint of a yo' mamma joke.It's been really amusing lately, watching angry "Muricans" lash out at Canada and Canadians clapping back. The trash that Canadians can talk will make your grandma upset, when you want to have a war of words with a Canadian you better know your facts. They won't only keep their elbows up, they'll decimate your mindset, figure out what really matters to you and what your biggest insecurity is and they'll attack. We're playing on a different level.At least that's what it seems like.Hope you enjoy the sesh!Subscribe and don't forget to visit Tots420.com

I was indulging in the chill billy, gator blood blammo cart. It's shaped like a bullet. It's cool. It's also a nice social sativa.I was enjoying that while watching a little YellowStone and all of it's iterations. Naturally I began to ponder my worth as a cowboy. Wondering if I could actually spend my days on the range riding from small town to small town.It's weird though because I think I could win a duel but I doubt I could wrangle my food, quarter it and cook it. I probably couldn't even grow corn right. Let alone extract milk from a cow. But I guess it was different times then. We're soft now. Most of us don't have to worry about getting kicked in the head by a horse.You know what else people never talk about, about back then. They never talk about the smell. Imagine what a small town would smell like at high noon in Texas on an early August day. Swamp ass! that's what it would smell like. Hygiene was also lacking so there was a good chance, you would get a side of cheese with your sausage and pie. If you know what I'm saying.Hope you enjoy the sesh!Let me know in the comments whether or not you could cut it as a cowboy.Subscribe and visit Tots420.com

Have you ever gotten high, the phone rings and stupidly answered it?If you smoke you know the reality of a puckered butt hole all to well. You make the mistake of having a few edibles and enjoying your day. When all of a sudden you trusty little electronic buddy rings. You reach into your pocket and hit the answer button. The voice on the other end, in all it's weighted seriousness, rushes a chill down your spine and lower half tenses with the strength of a vault door.Well I had an instance like that recently and let me tell you, it made me feel like I was 5 years old and caught red handed in the cookie jar. When the edibles hit you really have to assess the moves you make other wise you're just opening yourself up for a whole world of terror.That kind of terror is rampant online and through social media. Our phones are always listening to us. Paying attention to our joys and our fears. Preying on innocent minds in hopes to persuade them to follow the algorithm.Imagine having to go on a trip, taking a flight or driving in the car for an extended period of time. Your friendly little phone starts using social media, to prey on you and send your thoughts spiralling into dispare.I took a trip recently and TikTok decided it was great idea to flood my page with plane crashes. There's nothing like knowing you have to ride through the sky and being force fed planes falling from the sky. Birds flying into engines and pilots playing chicken. In some cases even being on the ground can't save you. It's terrifying to know that, in an instant an air plane can become a large metal human sausage skin.With an algorithm like that, who needs to watch horror movies?This might be one of the reasons X and Meta have both decided to do away with algorithms that fact check. They have both implemented a "Notes" feature on their platforms in order to have more accurate fact checking. It's a way for humans to keep other humans in check. Giving everyone the opportunity to be a super sleuth. That's right everyone can be Sherlock Holmes and figure out whether that propaganda you're seeing is fake news or truthful discord.Hope you enjoy the sesh!Subscribe and visit Tots420.com

Since this is the first sesh of 2025, I felt like we needed a little update and forecast for what's going to be coming up on the podcast.So in this sesh we're talking about a few of the changes I going to try and make to the show. I felt like it was getting a little to cannabis centric. So in an effort to bring it back to what, originally made the show fun and engaging I'm trying to add variety.This week I'm talking about a procedure that a lot of men decide to have and hopefully I can take some of the anxiety out of the situation. By telling my vasectomy story I hope that I can give dudes an accurate picture of what the procedure actually entails. With a little bit of humor I hope I can lighten the load so to speak.After talking about my D, I move on to the most notorious D in politics. That's right we are talking about Trump and his Teriff wars. I mean really we're talking about the bro-tastic nature of his and Elon Musks white house take over.Finally we finish out the show with a brief discussion about the fact that I'm starting to dabble in the stock market. None of what I say on the subject is meant to be any kind of education or information regarding the purchasing of stocks. Nor am I trying to tell anyone what to do with there money. I am simply just discussing the fact that I have started to play the stock market and there is a pot stock that seems to be taking the lead in the cannabis industry. Again, in no way am I telling you that you should invest I just thought that it would be fun to discuss and some of what is happening is quite interesting.Hope you enjoy the sesh!Don't forget to Subscribe and visit Tots420.com

For all our advancements, open mindedness still seems to elude us. We war with each other of beliefs, promote misinformation in order to have our opinions heard, then stifle the opposition, dismiss new ideologies and try as hard as possible to ruin anyone who dares to say... "What about this?"
