Heat Wave Hell

It all started on a Friday morning, a day that will forever be etched into the annals of my personal hell.

The AC began its death rattle, an apocalyptic sound that jolted me from my half-dead morning state.

Panic set in. I called the property management company, and they dispatched a man named Zeke from Zeke’s AC Repair. This guy was a real piece of work, let me tell you.

Zeke showed up like a bat out of hell, tires squealing through my neighborhood like a bad action movie chase scene. The scent of booze wafted from his van before he even stepped out.

Yes, Zeke reeked.

He stumbled out of his vehicle, all bravado and bullshit, ready to tackle the beast that was our AC unit.

He banged around for a bit, replaced the capacitor and motor, and voila! The AC roared to life.

Zeke, satisfied with his handiwork, strutted off into the sunset like a cowboy who just saved the town.

But a couple of hours later, the AC quit again, spitting out that familiar death knell.

Zeke returned, this time with less swagger and more annoyance.

He fiddled with the connector, declared it fixed, and vanished again. Fast forward a few hours, and the AC was dead.

It was now evening, a sweltering Sacramento evening, and Zeke was at home, likely nursing another bottle. He couldn’t come back until the next day.

We were stuck in a house that was 93 degrees upstairs and 83 downstairs.

The living room became our makeshift refugee camp, fans blowing like futile sentinels against the inferno. We killed some time shopping and eating dinner, hoping to escape the worst of it, but the heat followed us like a bloodhound.

That night, we slept on the couch, tossing and turning in a pool of sweat.

Saturday morning, Zeke reappeared, this time with a grim look. The motor was bad, he said, but he couldn’t replace it until Monday.

Monday? Was he high? It was going to hit 115 degrees that day.

He offered a temporary fix: spraying the unit with cold water every time it shut down. So, my weekend was spent babysitting an overheating AC unit, playing sprinkler technician to keep the damn thing running.

It worked, sort of. Until, of course, the power went out. Half of our development plunged into darkness on the hottest night of the year.

We were left to choose between roasting in our house or sitting in the car like some of our neighbors. We opted for the car, eventually finding solace in a late-night movie.

When the power finally came back on at 1:49 AM, the AC kicked on again, but the reprieve was short-lived.

Sunday was another day of cooling the unit, keeping it limping along.

Monday arrived, and I had to drag myself to the soul-sucking day job while Zeke, that drunk bastard, showed up to install a new motor.

But, of course, the AC was still broken.

I left work early, enraged and sweating, to find that nothing had changed. I called Zeke, who was now fed up and treating me like it was my fault.

He said it could be a bad motor… Again. He’ll fix it tomorrow.

So Tuesday came and he came back, got the motor then left to get another new motor. He came back replaced it and told me its fixed then left.

That didn’t work… again.

I called zeke. He was pissed off.

Clearly tired of me and my AC unit Zeke comes back.

He couldn’t figure it out, so he decided to give up.

Just like that, I give up. He said Don’t call me again after this.

He took out the new motor, put the original broken one back in, and left me with nothing.

I couldn’t even use his workaround now because the motor didn’t work at all.

I called the property management company, and they promised another guy would come.

This new savior didn’t show up until 3:30 PM, by which time my house was turning into a sauna.

He muttered about needing to get approval and write an estimate. Blah, blah, blah. He promised to come back on Wednesday.

It’s Wednesday at 7am and here I am, typing this from a couch that has become my bed, my back a knot of pain and my mood darker than ever because I have to go to the soul-sucking day job after getting very little sleep.

If this new guy doesn’t fix the AC today, I swear to God, there will be hell to pay.

Living through the hottest heat wave on record in Sacramento with a broken AC is a special kind of torment, one I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.

Stay safe, Stay cool and remember .. Fuck Zeke.

45 and Still Faking It

Alright, folks, gather ’round and let me regale you with the joyous tale of turning 45. Halfway to ninety and just as clueless as ever.

Almost 20 years ago, I packed my bags, kissed Ohio goodbye, and set out on a grand adventure that’s taken me through the dusty deserts of Nevada, the sunny chaos of California, the historical pretentiousness of Massachusetts, the not-so-gardeny parts of New Jersey, and back to California. Why? For the love of radio!

Oh, radio, you seductive bitch. You lured me in with promises of fame, fortune, and a lifestyle so glamorous it would make Hollywood blush. And for a while, it was golden. I was living the dream as an on-air personality and imaging producer, my voice bouncing off the airwaves all over the world!. Then along came Mr. New Guy, who decided he didn’t like my style. Yes an overweight douchebag with terrible style and an unbelievable lack of creativity fired me. Just like that, poof! The dream crumbled faster than a cheap taco shell.

Now I’m here in California with my wife, the kids, and a bonus kid from my wife’s previous adventure in life. Although one of my kids is still back in Ohio, probably wondering what the hell Dad is still doing living in the most expensive place in America. I wonder that too …

The thing is, I’m podcasting pretty successfully, but not successfully enough to ditch the day job. And what a day job it is. Representing the oil, fuel, and gas station industry—because nothing screams passion like convenience stores and petrol.

2 days a week in the office and 3 days a week, I’m working from home, pretending I know what I’m doing, faking it like a pro. The pay is decent, the coworkers are cool, but the passion? Nonexistent. Sales? I’d rather eat a bag of nails. But hey, it’s a job, right? And it’s depressing.

I never imagined working in an office environment or having this type of job. Never, yet here I am miserable like everyone else.

There was a time I loved my job. I loved waking up and going to work. Now I dread it.

You know what really gets me though? The older I get, the more I realize I’ve been chasing career highs instead of building real, meaningful friendships.

I miss having friends. I miss the parties, the birthdays, the pointless hangouts where we’d solve the world’s problems over a six-pack and bag of weed. Now, my birthday is a quiet affair. No big bashes, just a few texts from family and, of course, the amazing listeners of my podcast. You guys are seriously the real heroes. Please know that I appreciate you so much.

As I inch closer to 45, I’m hit with the existential question: Was it all worth it? Missing out on family events, leaving friends behind, moving from state to state for a career that’s as stable as a Jenga tower in an earthquake? I don’t know. But I do believe that everything happens for a reason, even if that reason is as clear as mud right now.

I miss radio. I miss the thrill of the live broadcast, the creative rush, the connection with listeners. But moving around the country isn’t an option anymore. The kids are in middle and high school, and uprooting them would be selfish. Responsibilities, man. They’re like that one relative who shows up uninvited and never leaves.

But there are bright spots. Watching my daughter grow, seeing my bonus son figure out who he is, building a life with my wife, and having the freedom to run my podcast my way—these are the moments that make the struggle worthwhile. I’m still doing what I love, just not on the scale I envisioned. And maybe that’s okay.

So here I am, on the brink of 45, wondering what the next chapter holds. Maybe I’ll finally find a way to make podcasting and creating events my full-time gig. Maybe I’ll stumble upon a new passion. Or maybe I’ll just keep faking and being miserable with my career until I die. Whatever happens, I know this much: getting older might suck, but it’s also an adventure. And as long as I’m still in the game, I’ll keep playing.

Here’s to 45 years of glorious confusion and the hope that the next 45 will be just as wild.

Stay safe, stay weird and remember… question everything

Fields Family Farms: Unicorn Gas 💨

🦄✨ Today we’re diving headfirst into the enchanting world of “Unicorn Gas” – a strain so mystical it’ll make you question reality faster than a rabbit hole on acid! 🍇💨

Buds so vibrant they make rainbows look dull. Deep purples, royal blues, and greens that’ll make you believe you stumbled into a psychedelic fairy tale. And those trichomes? Oh, they’re not just trichomes; they’re tiny flecks of pure magic, twinkling like they’ve been kissed by unicorns themselves! 🌈✨

Now, let’s talk scent. Brace yourself for a whiff of sweet, fruity aromas that’ll transport you to a berry-filled wonderland, with just a hint of floral goodness. It’s like being under a spell – but trust me, you won’t want to break free! 🌸🍓

When you spark up Unicorn Gas, get ready for a high that’ll send you to the moon and back. It starts with a gentle buzz that’ll have your creative juices flowing faster than you can say “magic carpet ride.” 🧞‍♂️✨ And as you float along, your worries will melt away, leaving you in a state of pure, unadulterated bliss.

Now, onto the real talk. I tried this baby in pre-roll form, and let me tell you – it was a rollercoaster of emotions. First, the struggle to light it was real. I’m talking Herculean effort levels just to get a puff! 😤 But once it was lit, WHOA, hold onto your hats, folks!

Sure, the joint got funky real quick, bending and shedding its cherry like it was trying out for a contortionist gig. But despite the struggle, the high was worth every moment. Two hits in, and I was off to the stars, cruising through the cosmos like I owned the place. 🚀

But the high lasted for what felt like eons. My head was floating in the stratosphere while my body was down on Earth, doing its thing like a champ. 🌍💫

So, despite the joint’s quirks, I’m giving Unicorn Gas a solid 3.5 out of 5 on the mug scale. It would’ve been higher if not for the joint’s shenanigans. But hey, when the high is this good, who cares about a little struggle, right? 😉

10 Conspiracies That Actually Came True

1. Project Sunshine: The Baby Harvest

Conspiracy: The government was snatching dead bodies to perform radioactive tests.


Truth: Well, they weren’t exactly grave robbers. They were more like body part enthusiasts. The U.S. government needed young tissue for their nuclear fallout studies. So, they recruited a global network of agents to discreetly collect samples and limbs from recently deceased babies. Over 1,500 grieving families were blissfully unaware

2. Prohibition Poison Party

Conspiracy: During Prohibition, the government poisoned alcohol to curb drinking.


Truth: Turns out, Uncle Sam was the ultimate party crasher. Booze manufacturers had been spiking their hooch with dangerous chemicals for years. But between 1926 and 1933, the feds upped the ante. They pushed for stronger poisons to discourage bootleggers from turning alcohol into moonshine. Result? Over 10,000 Americans met their demise via tainted cocktails. Cheers!

3. Edith Wilson: The Real Commander-in-Chief

Conspiracy: President Woodrow Wilson’s stroke left him incapacitated, and his wife secretly took charge.


Truth: Edith Wilson wasn’t just a First Lady; she was the First Boss. When Woodrow suffered a debilitating stroke, the government decided to keep it hush-hush. For over a year, Edith was effectively running the show. She claimed to be a mere “steward,” but historians know better. Move over, Woodrow—Edith’s got this!

4. MK-ULTRA: Mind Control, LSD, and You

Conspiracy: The CIA experimented with LSD and mind control on unsuspecting Americans.


Truth: MK-ULTRA wasn’t a sci-fi flick; it was real. The CIA dosed folks with hallucinogens, hoping to unlock their inner spies. Imagine unsuspecting office workers tripping balls during their coffee breaks. The program was so wild that even Hunter S. Thompson would’ve said, “Whoa, man!”

5. Operation Mockingbird: Media Manipulation

Conspiracy: The CIA infiltrated the media to control the narrative.


Truth: Forget “fake news.” Operation Mockingbird was the OG. The CIA cozied up to journalists, editors, and publishers, pulling their strings like puppet masters. They spread propaganda, manipulated stories, and whispered, “Psst, print this.” The Fourth Estate? More like the Fourth Spy Agency

6. Operation Paperclip: Nazi Scientists, American Dreams

Conspiracy: After World War II, the U.S. smuggled Nazi scientists into the country like they were exotic pets.


Truth: Forget Area 51; Operation Paperclip was the real alien landing. The CIA and military scooped up German rocket scientists, mind control experts, and probably a few schnitzel chefs. These former Third Reich brainiacs helped kickstart the space race and the Cold War. Danke schön, Adolf!

7. COINTELPRO: The FBI’s Petty Vendetta

Conspiracy: The FBI infiltrated civil rights groups, anti-war activists, and even Slayer fan clubs.


Truth: J. Edgar Hoover wasn’t just a snappy dresser; he was also a paranoid puppet master. COINTELPRO (Counter Intelligence Program) aimed to disrupt and discredit anyone who dared question authority. They wiretapped Martin Luther King Jr., spread rumors about Slayer’s satanic rituals, and probably stole Mikey’s lunch money

8. Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment: Medical Malpractice, Yeehaw!

Conspiracy: The government infected poor African American men with syphilis just to see what happens.


Truth: The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment was like a twisted episode of “Dr. Oz.” From 1932 to 1972, the U.S. Public Health Service studied untreated syphilis in unsuspecting black men. They promised free healthcare but delivered deception, suffering, and a side of racism. It’s like they took the Hippocratic Oath and replaced it with “Yeehaw!”

9. PRISM: The NSA’s Peeping Tom

Conspiracy: The NSA was spying on everyone, even your grandma’s cat videos.


Truth: PRISM wasn’t just a rainbow; it was a surveillance kaleidoscope. Edward Snowden blew the whistle on this digital peep show. The NSA tapped into Google, Facebook, and your neighbor’s Wi-Fi. They collected more data than a Slayer mosh pit. So next time you post a selfie, just know—Uncle Sam’s watching

10. The Church Committee: When Senators Got Spicy

Conspiracy: The U.S. government was up to some shady stuff, and Congress wanted answers.


Truth: In the ’70s, the Church Committee (led by Senator Frank Church) exposed the CIA’s dirty laundry. Assassination plots, mind control experiments, and secret coups—it was like a James Bond movie, but with more bureaucracy. They even revealed that Elvis was an undercover agent. Okay, maybe not Elvis, but you get the idea

A Taste of Madness With Banana Runtz

Another Weekly Weed Review thank CaliGoldDelivery.com

Gather ’round, fellow travelers of the twisted and surreal, for we’re embarking on a journey into the heart of madness with Fields Family Farms’ Banana Runts.

Now, before you go dismissing this as just another trip down candy lane, let me assure you, this is a ride you won’t soon forget. Imagine, if you will, a joint infused with the essence of diamonds, rolled in cannabis oil and keif, a concoction so potent it could make even the most seasoned stoner question reality.

This joint, my friends, it looked like it had seen the depths of hell and back, but as they say, looks can be deceiving. Upon lighting up, I was greeted with a taste sensation that was far from bananas or runts, yet somehow transcended the mundane to deliver a flavor profile that danced on the tongue like a psychedelic symphony.

The aroma, oh the aroma, it was like a siren’s call, luring me deeper into the rabbit hole of intoxication. But it wasn’t just the taste and smell that left me reeling; oh no, it was the high itself that truly caught me off guard. At first, it was like a bolt of creative energy coursing through my veins, igniting my senses and setting my mind ablaze with possibilities.

I felt like I could conquer the world, one wild idea at a time. Yet, just when I thought I had it all figured out, about 20 minutes later, it hit me like a freight train barreling through the night. Suddenly, the world around me took on a surreal hue, and before I knew it, I was careening headfirst into the abyss of unconsciousness, passed out cold on the couch.

But fear not, dear readers, for even in the depths of my weed-induced slumber, I could still feel the faint whisper of Banana Runts lingering on my lips, a reminder of the wild ride I had just experienced. So, on the scale of 0 to 5 nugs, this twisted masterpiece gets a solid 4 from yours truly.

But heed my warning, my fellow adventurers, for Banana Runts is not for the faint of heart.

Order some now from CaliGoldDelivery.com but approach with caution, embrace the madness, and remember, stay safe, stay weird, and question everything.

Fluorescent Fumes: A Psychedelic Odyssey

I stumbled into my dimly lit living room, the acrid smoke of Cali’s finest clinging to my clothes like a desperate lover. The aftertaste lingered, a bitter reminder of the forbidden pleasures I’d just indulged in. But then, an unexpected twist… the room shifted, and an eerie smell enveloped me. It was familiar, like a half-remembered nightmare from my youth.

Huffing paint. The garage. My cousin Chuck.

We were reckless, teetering on the edge of oblivion. Death was our constant companion, lurking in the shadows, grinning like a deranged carnival barker. Parma, Ohio… a place where dreams went to die, and the mundane was a psychedelic trip in itself.

Chuck, that mad bastard, moved in with me at my mom’s house. Our grand plan? To work together, side by side, conquering the world. Or maybe just the local pizza joint. But fate had other ideas.

The garage became our sanctuary… a sweltering cocoon in a hot Ohio summer where time warped and reality unraveled. Chuck and I, like deranged alchemists, brewed our elixir of madness: fluorescent green spray paint, stolen from my dad’s garage or my grandpa’s toolshed, I can’t recall which. The details blur, like the edges of reality when you’re high on fumes.

We’d light our cigarettes, the glowing tips like beacons in the dimness. The garage door shut, sealing us off from the world. The canister of neon intoxication sat on the workbench, its label worn and cryptic. We’d shake it, listen to the rattle of forbidden knowledge, and then plunge into the abyss.

We sprayed it into bags, inhaled deeply, and ascended. The world dissolved, replaced by a kaleidoscope of neon hues.

The first huff was a revelation. The garage walls wavered, and Chuck’s face contorted into a grotesque grin. We’d giggle like lunatics, our laughter echoing off the rusty tools and forgotten memories. We entered a realm I can only describe as “spy vs. spy inside Fortnite.” Imagine pixelated chaos, a psychedelic battleground where secret agents battled for supremacy, fueled by our chemical concoction.

The fluorescent demons danced, their pixelated forms mocking our mortal existence. Spy vs. spy, reality vs. delusion—we straddled the fault line.

Hours melted away. The garage became a fever dream… a fever dream within a fever dream. We’d chase each other, our footsteps echoing like distant gunshots. Chuck would morph into a giant spy, his trench coat flapping in the toxic breeze. I’d wield a pixelated sword, slashing at imaginary foes. The paint fumes fueled our madness, our minds spiraling into oblivion.

And then, the terror set in. The walls moved closer and closer, and the fluorescent demons taunted us. Spy vs. spy took a dark turn. Were we the heroes or the villains? It didn’t matter. We were trapped, our minds unraveling like cheap sweaters. Reality splintered, and I glimpsed the void—the abyss that had swallowed countless souls before us.

And then, the crash. Reality reasserted itself—the sticky floor, the flickering fluorescent bulb, the taste of metal on our tongues.

Chuck collapsed on the garage floor, gasping for air. I clung to the edge of sanity, my heart pounding like a jackhammer. We’d glimpsed the abyss, danced with death, and emerged—changed.

“We have to stop,” I said. “It’s eating us alive.”

As abruptly as it began, it ended.

Chuck moved out soon after. The fluorescent green can vanished, but its memory haunted me. I never huffed paint again, but that pixelated utopia lingered, a warning etched into my synapses. Life in Parma remained mundane, but I knew the truth: We’d touched something beyond the veil. Spy vs. spy, neon and nightmare—it was all there, waiting for the next fool to inhale the fumes and ascend.

So here I am, recounting our reckless escapade. Chuck, if you’re out there, remember: We danced with madness, and for a brief, terrifying moment, we were gods. And the fluorescent green? It still whispers my name in the dead of night, promising secrets and oblivion.

The Great Sake Bomb Massacre

So there I was, dragged into the neon abyss of Sin City, not out of desire but necessity. The exorbitant cost of California living had me shackled to a job I neither loathed nor excelled at, just enough to keep the family fed and the podcast rolling. But hey, it came with perks—like mandatory treks to San Diego, the cesspool of LA, and the glittering mirage of Las Vegas.

What’s my gig, you ask? Irrelevant. What matters is Vegas, baby.

Nestled in the bowels of The Mirage, an ancient relic oozing with the stench of bygone eras and stale tobacco, I pondered my existence amidst kitschy decor straight out of Grandma’s basement.

But this wasn’t your typical Vegas romp; it was a corporate circus. Rubbing elbows with suits I’d never otherwise acknowledge, I paraded through conferences, spewing jargon like a malfunctioning buzzword generator.

One evening, we found ourselves at Benihana—a tourist trap masquerading as a culinary experience. Three hours of onion volcanoes and airborne shrimp left me smelling like a hibachi grill’s illicit affair with MSG. Sake bombs ensued, accompanied by raucous chants, almost resembling a racial slur in an accent I dare not replicate.

The following day brought more charades of competence, culminating in an excursion to the newly christened Las Vegas Sphere. Amidst AI greeters and digital scans promising entry into some Orwellian metaverse, I opted out—FBI, take note.

The show inside was a psychedelic sermon on humanity’s folly, a woke manifesto accompanied by sensory overload. For a moment, I teetered on the brink of existential revelation, tripping balls in a spherical cathedral of enlightenment.

But alas, reality beckoned. Back in my room, amidst the haze of intoxication, I reflected on the casino floor—a tableau of despair and depleted fortunes. Disheartened, I retreated, pondering the irony of an old woman seeking directions to Planet 13, the cannabis superstore.

That brings us to the end of this uninspiring trip to land of greed, Next time, Vegas, it’ll be on my terms—sans corporate shackles and with chosen companions. No more pretense, just pure, unadulterated debauchery.

The Grandma Serial Killer

Have you ever wondered about the hidden stories behind seemingly ordinary houses? The kind you pass by every day without giving a second thought, until you learn what secrets they hold. In the latest episode of *The Mikey Podcast*, we’re about to take you on a bone-chilling journey into a world that’s as fascinating as it is horrifying.

Picture this: a cozy boarding house in the heart of Sacramento during the 1980s. It sounds inviting, almost like a scene from a charming period piece. But behind the quaint exterior of this seemingly welcoming establishment lies a spine-tingling tale of terror.

Dorothea Helen Puente was the mastermind behind this “special” boarding house. You may be accustomed to hosts who greet you with a smile and freshly baked cookies, but Dorothea had her unique brand of hospitality. She would accept vulnerable elderly and mentally disabled tenants. However, her idea of making them feel at home was a lot more sinister than you can imagine.

Not everyone who stayed at Dorothea’s boarding house left with their lives intact. Those who dared to question her practices soon vanished without a trace. Imagine cashing Social Security checks belonging to the tenants while they mysteriously disappeared, never to be seen again. A sinister twist on the “home away from home” concept, wouldn’t you say?

Picture yourself walking through a fruity wonderland, surrounded by the intoxicating scent of fresh fruit mixed with a hint of sourness. It’s like sticking your nose in a bouquet of flowers while eating a bag of sour gummy worms. Trust me, it’s nice.

But enough about the aromas, let’s talk about the buzz. Fruit Tart hits you like a sativa freight train, giving you an energetic boost that’ll have you feeling like you could conquer the world. A few hits of this and you’ll be ready to take on the day.

Now, here’s a pro tip – Fruit Tart pairs amazingly well with a cup of coffee from your Mikey Podcast coffee Mug

It’s like the perfect morning duo, getting you all hyped up and ready to tackle your to-do list. Just make sure you don’t go overboard because you might find yourself with a tinge of anxiety.

One thing I love about Fruit Tart is that the munchies are surprisingly manageable. You won’t find yourself raiding the pantry like a deranged raccoon on a mission. So, feel free to enjoy this strain without worrying about eating your body weight in snacks. Your waistline will thank you.

In terms of effects, this strain is a real winner. It’s like the perfect balance between calm and creative.

On the Gonja grading scale, I give Fruit Tart 4 nugs out of 5. It’s definitely a strain worth trying, especially if you’re looking for a burst of energy and creativity without the couch-lock.

But, like any good thing, it does have its downsides. The high tends to wear off a bit faster than you’d hope, so keep that in mind if you’re planning an all-day smoke-a-thon. Towards the end of the day, you might also get hit with some indica vibes, so be prepared for a cozy evening of relaxation.

Overall, Fruit Tart is a strain that’ll tickle your taste buds and boost your creative juices. Checkout the Ganja Grading Scale and don’t forget to use promo code “Mikey” at higher elevation to save some green while you’re at it. Happy toking, my friends!

WWR: Lemmon Drop

First of all, you might be wondering why I’m doing this in good ol’ blog style instead of my usual podcast shenanigans. Well, here’s the deal: I’m just one person, and let’s face it, writing is a hell of a lot easier than recording, editing, and sharing a whole podcast.

I would like to bring the Weekly Weed Review podcast series back but there’s a catch…

I can’t bring the podcast series back as a standalone show unless The Mikey Podcast becomes my full-time gig. And that’s where you come in.

Together, we can conquer the world of podcasts, cannabis and take down corporate media!

Now, let’s dive right into this week’s review, shall we? We’re about to embark on a wild journey with Lemmon Drop from busdownz.

And let me tell you, this is not your average lemony experience. Oh no, this one’s a rollercoaster of harshness and confusion.

Let’s start with the visuals, shall we? I found a picture online that made it look all fluffy and enticing.

But when I finally got my hands on it, reality hit me like a lemon to the face.

This stuff was rough, my friends. It was harsh with every hit, leaving me gasping for air and questioning my life choices. I had to take itty-bitty puffs just to survive.

Now, taste-wise, it had a faint citrus flavor, but I’ve had other brands that nailed the sweet, lemony goodness much better. Plus, there was this weird chemical undertone that made me wonder if I was inhaling cleaning supplies instead of cannabis. Not the most pleasant experience.

But hey, it’s not all bad news. The buds themselves were decent. They broke up nicely, not too dry, and burned well. And boy, were they covered in crystals! It was like staring at a field of sparkly lemons. And the smell? Lemon pledge all the way. Seriously, it was like my weed was moonlighting as a cleaning product. Strange, but oddly intriguing.

As for the stoney feeling? It was actually pretty good. Lemon Drop is known for its mellow, giggly vibes, and this particular brand didn’t disappoint in that department. However, it veered off the usual path of euphoria and focus and took a detour towards relaxation and body sensations. I found myself zoning out and mindlessly scrolling through social media, which, let’s be honest, isn’t exactly a productive use of time.

Now, here’s a fun fact for you: Lemon Drop is a sativa-dominant strain with a 40:60 indica/sativa ratio. And even with its sativa heritage, it still packs a punch with a whopping 18% THC content.

So, if you’re a beginner or someone who values their productivity in society, I’d steer clear of this particular brand’s version of Lemmon Drop. But if you just want to chill or maybe tackle some yard work, this could provide the motivation you need. Just be prepared for the initial struggle of getting started.

But here’s the real bummer: the munchies. HOLY FUCK! The munchies were out of control. I ate everything in sight, and I mean everything. I gained 48 pounds in a single day. Don’t believe me? Well, try it for yourself and witness the transformation into a human vacuum cleaner.

According to the internet, this strain is said to help with a variety of ailments like asthma, depression, headaches, insomnia, loss of appetite, migraines, muscle spasms, PTSD, and stress. But hey, don’t let my opinion stop you from trying it out. We all know that weed affects people differently, so maybe this Lemmon Drop will be your saving grace.

If you’re curious and want to give it a shot, head on over to HigherElevation.com. They’ve got your back and will deliver the good stuff right to your door. And guess what? They’ve expanded their reach, now serving Citrus Heights, Antelope, Fair Oaks, Orangevale, and Folsom! They’ve even got Rocklin, Roseville, and Placer County up to New Castle covered. And just for being a loyal listener, use promo code MIKEY at checkout and save a sweet 20%.

So, my fellow lemon enthusiasts, go forth and conquer that Lemmon Drop from busdownz. Just be prepared for the harshness, the weird chemical undertones, and the insatiable munchies. But who knows, it might just be the ride you’ve been waiting for. Stay lifted, my friends!

Unmasking Hawaii’s Fiery Drama!

Alright, remember that wild ride we had on last week’s Freeloader Friday live episode? If you missed it, don’t worry, you can catch it right here on MikeyPodcast.com, YouTube, and Spotify. But let me tell you, things have been heating up in Hawaii since then, hotter than a jalapeno on a summer day.

Now, I’ve never been one to trust mainstream news. It’s just not my thing. But when I found out about the full-on pyrotechnic showdown happening in Hawaii, it knocked me off my feet. Over 100 lives lost and hundreds still missing. This isn’t some Hollywood flick, folks. This is real life.

You would think that FEMA and the Red Cross would swoop in like superheroes, right? Well, think again. These FEMA camps they talk about? Trust me, they’re no dream vacation spot. And the Red Cross? They’re basically saying, “Come to our camp if you want to be safe!” Yeah, right. People are taking matters into their own hands, surviving on their own while these big shots play catch-up.

And don’t even get me started on the Brandon Administration’s so-called “Fact Sheet.” It’s more like a recipe for chaos. Loans for your burnt-down house? Yeah, like that’s ever gonna happen. $700 payments? And GMO baby food? Not on my watch. Join me as I dive deep into the absurdity of it all.

Now, let’s get a little weird, shall we? Ever heard of the Illuminati’s plan to spill the beans before executing their evil deeds? I’ll explain it. Also Direct energy weapons AKA DEWs Buckle up, because I’m about to take you down a rabbit hole of epic proportions, where I separate fact from fiction.

Oh, and get this: there’s talk of 15-minute smart cities and some shady happenings in historical towns. Can you imagine Maui becoming a smart city island?

Episode 184 of the Mikey Podcast is gonna blow your mind with conspiracy theories, FEMA antics, and unfiltered takes. This is where it all goes down, where we challenge the norm, question everything, and maybe even have a laugh or two.
