Before weed delivery apps and dispensaries that look like day spas, a flourishing black market meant trading pounds of marijuana for thousands in cash. Comedian Billy Wayne Davis (Conan, Last Comic Standing) sits down alongside co-host and organic cannabis grower Mike McGowan to talk with these criminals-gone-corporate as they spill the bong water on everything from evading police to making a living in a legalized world.
Sam Tallent and Nathan Lund are Chubby Behemoth and Chubby Behemoth is the king of hell. Join them or be conscripted. That's a very dark way to describe this delightful duet of comedy and friendship, but everyone's gotta have an edge, right? Join Sam, Nathan and a couple of their best friends in comedy and life as they cover a meandering array of topics and—more importantly—just have a great ol' time.
