>> Stephen: OH, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
WELCOME BACK.
YOU KNOW MY GUEST TONIGHT FROM SUPER BAD, PINEAPPLE EXPRESS AND
LONG SHOT.
HE HAS JUST WRITTEN A NEW BOOK CALLED "YEAR BOOK."
PLEASE WELCOME BACK TO "A LATE SHOW."
SETH ROGEN.
SETH ROGEN, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
GREAT TO BE HERE.
>> Stephen: THIS IS AS MUCH AS ANYONE IS WITH ANYONE ANYMORE
UNTIL THINGS IMPROVE.
LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE WHICH WAS 2019, I GUESS.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: YOU HAD JUST LAUNCHED -- WHAT'S THE NAME OF
YOUR CANNABIS RELATED COMPANY THERE.
>> IT'S CALLED HOUSE PLANT.
>> Stephen: HOUSE PLANT.
YOU LAUNCHED IT IN YOUR NATIVE CANADA.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: BUT SINCE THEN LAUNCHED IN THE UNITED STATES.
WHO WAS IT RECEIVED, THE LAUNCH?
>> OUR WEB SITE CRASHED INSTANTANEOUSLY SEVERAL TIMES
THROUGHOUT OUR LAUNCH DAY.
OUR PRODUCTS ARE GENERALLY SELLING OUT WITHIN SEVERAL
HOURS, OUR HOME GOODS.
WE SELL HOME GOODS, ASHTRAYS, TABLE LIGHTERS, THINGS LIKE
THAT, THAT ARE BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED.
WE HAD NO IDEA IF PEOPLE WOULD WANT THIS STUFF OR NOT, BUT
THANK GOD THEY DID, AND WE SHOULD HAVE MADE MORE OF IT AND
WE'RE GOING TO RIGHT NOW.
>> Stephen: NOW THAT YOU ARE NOT JUST A USER OR ENJOYER, USER
SOUNDS A LITTLE BIT LIKE YOUR BOOT AND HORSE.
>> EXACTLY.
>> Stephen: NOW THAT YOU'RE NOT JUST AN ENTHUSIAST BUT A
DISTRIBUTOR, HAS IT CHANGED YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CANNABIS?
>> I'D SAY IT STRENGTHENED IT IF ANYTHING.
IT'S NICE TO BE ABLE TO EXPRESS MYSELF THROUGH ANOTHER PRODUCT,
YOU KNOWUM.
AND, HONESTLY, I FEEL LIKE I CAN.
LIKE, I FEEL LIKE, THROUGH THE -- HONESTLY, THROUGH THE
PACKAGING AND THROUGH THE IDENTITY OF THE COMPANY AND
THROUGH THE WEED THAT WE ARE SELLING TO PEOPLE, I REALLY FEEL
LIKE IT IS AN EXTENSION OF WHO I AM AND IT IS VERY LOVELY TO
SHARE WITH PEOPLE.
>> Stephen: WELL, I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR TO EVERYONE AT CBS
BRASS RIGHT NOW WATCHING THAT I'M NOT ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO GO
TO THIS WEB SITE, BUT I AM CURIOUS, YOU CAN LITERALLY ORDER
WEED ONLINE?
>> YES, IF YOU'RE IN LOS ANGELES RIGHT NOW, YOU CAN GO TO HOUSE
PLANT AND WE WILL DELIVER YOU WEED, YES.
>> Stephen: AGAIN, WE'RE NOT TELLING PEOPLE TO DO THAT.
I'M JUST ASKING YOU IF THAT IS A LEGAL THING TO DO?
>> THAT IS A LEGAL THING TO DO IN CALIFORNIA.
YOU CAN TRY IN OTHER STATES, IT WON'T LET YOU DO IT, YEAH.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
ANY PLANS TO EXPAND?
>> VERY MUCH SO.
WE WOULD LOVE TO EXPAND.
>> Stephen: WHAT ABOUT NEW YORK, NEW YORK, THE BIG CITY
OF DREAMS?
IT'S LEGAL IN NEW YORK, TOO.
>> THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
AS SOON AS THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS UP AND RUNNING, WE WOULD LOVE TO
SELL WEED TO THE PEOPLE OF NEW YORK VERY, VERY MUCH.
>> Stephen: ANOTHER THING YOU HAVE BEEN RENOWNED FOR WHICH WE
TALKED ABOUT THE LAST TIME YOU WERE ON THE SHOW WAS YOUR
POTTERY.
I HAVE BEEN A BIG FAN.
IT WAS JUST LIKE PINCH POTS, ASHTRAYS, BUT YOU'VE REALLY
KICKED IT UP.
IS IT ON YOUR INSTAGRAM FEED?
>> YES.
>> Stephen: DO YOU HAVE ANY THERE?
BEAUTIFUL GLAZING WORK.
>> I HAVE A FEW HERE.
THIS IS ONE I MADE.
THIS IS A PURPLE VASE.
>> Stephen: THAT'S GORGEOUS.
IS THAT A SMOOTH GLAZE JUST WITH A PROFILE TO IT?
THAT'S GORGEOUS.
>> LAYERS OVERUNDERGLAZE AND THEN ON TOP OF IT IS A GOOPY
GLAZE I MADE MYSELF BECAUSE I TOOK A WORKSHOP WHERE I LEARNED
THE CHEMISTRY OF GLAZEMAKING.
>> Stephen: I WOULD LOVE THAT ONE.
ARE THESE FOR SALE?
>> NO, BUT IF YOU WANT ONE, I'LL SEND YOU ONE.
I SEND THEM TO PEOPLE I LIKE, SO, YEAH, YOU CAN HAVE ONE.
>> Stephen: CAN I HAVE THE BLUE ONE?
>> YOU SURE CAN.
IT'S YOURS, I'LL SEND IT TO YOU.
>> Stephen: IT WILL GO BEAUTIFULLY ON MY BOOKSHELF
RIGHT HERE.
>> IT WOULD.
THESE ARE MUGS I'VE MADE.
>> Stephen: I KNOW ON HOUSE PLANT, YOU CAN ACTUALLY BUY
THINGS LIKE ASHTRAYS AND STUFF.
ARE THEY INSPIRED BY YOUR CERAMIC WORK OR TOTALLY
INDEPENDENT?
>> THEY ARE.
I AICSLY DESIGNED SOME OF THE ASHTRAYS WE SELL.
THESE ARE SOME OF THE ONES.
I KIND OF LIKE ENVISIONED THIS CUP ASHTRAY WITH A LITTLE NOTCH
HERE WHICH WAS VERY MUCH BASED OFF OF MY NEEDS.
THESE ARE A COUPLE I'VE MADE.
>> Stephen: BEAUTIFUL.
YEAH.
AND I ALSO HAVE MADE THESE GLAZES.
>> Stephen: YOU'VE ALSO -- YOU'VE HAD WHAT YOU ARE
DESCRIBING AS NOT A FEUD WITH TED CRUZ, OKAY.
IT'S NOT A FEUD.
HE HAS SAID THAT YOU ARE, YOU KNOW -- HE'S SAID THAT BASICALLY
YOU'RE A RICH, ANGRY HOLLYWOOD CELEBRITY, AND YOU SAID IF
YOU'RE A WH WHITE SUPREMACIST FASCIST THAT DOESN'T FIND IT
OFFENSIVE WHEN SOMEONE CALLS YOUR WIFE UGLIER IS THE
( BLEEP ) YOU.
IS THAT PASSING HARSH JUDGMENT?
>> FEUD IMPLIES EQUAL GROUND.
>> Stephen: HATFIELDS AND McCOYS, THAT SORT OF THING.
>> IF SOMEONE'S TRYING TO MURDER SOMEONE WITH A BE ABLE TO BAT
AND SOMEONE IS YELLING THAT PERSON TO STOP, IS THAT A FEUD?
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A FEUD.
I THINK FEUD IMPLIES TWO PEOPLE HITTING EACH OTHER WITH BASEBALL
BATS.
I'M, LIKE, TED CRUZ IS A FASCIST.
HE DENIES THE REALITY OF THE ELECTION.
HIS WORDS CAUSE PEOPLE TO DIE, AND I'M MAKING JOKES ABOUT IT.
IS THAT A FEUD?
I DON'T KNOW.
TO ME, IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A FEUD.
TO ME, SEEMS LIKE I'M POINTING OUT THE FACT THAT HE IS A
TERRIBLE MAN WHOSE WORDS HAVE RESULTED IN DEATH, YOU KNOW, AND
I GUESS, TO ME, YEAH, LIKE -- I MEAN, IT SPEAKS TO WHAT I THINK
IS A BIGGER PROBLEM IN AMERICA WHICH IS A FALSE EQUIVALENCY,
AND I WAS GOING TO USE THE TERM "BETWEEN THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT"
WHICH MAKES IT SEEM LIKE TWO APPENDAGE AS OF THE SAME
CREATURE, WHICH I DON'T THINK IT IS.
I THINK ONE IS -- ONE IS A CREATURE AND THE OTHER'S JUST
TRYING TO STOP IT FROM DESTROYING THE COUNTRY, AND, SO,
I DON'T KNOW IF, LIKE, IS THAT A FEUD?
I DON'T KNOW.
ARE THOSE TWO THINGS ON THE SAME LEVEL?
LIKE -- AND I AGREE THAT, LIKE, I THINK IT'S EASY TO SAY, LIKE,
THAT MAY BE THE LEFT FEELS INEFFECTIVE IN COMPARISON TO HOW
THEY SHOULD, BUT IT'S LIKE IF YOU WERE PLAYING BASEBALL
AGAINST A TEAM AND, LIKE, YOU'RE TRYING TO GET A LOT OVERRUNS AND
THE OTHER TEAM IS TRYING TO BLUDGEONED YOU TO DEATH, LIKE,
IS IT LIKE SHOCKING THAT YOU'RE NOT SCORING AS MANY RUNS AS
MAYBE YOU SHOULD BE SCORING?
NO, THE OTHER TEAM IS JUST TRYING TO BEAT YOU TO DEATH WITH
BASEBALL COMBATS, YOU KNOW.
>> Stephen: I LIKE THAT METAPHOR.
IT'S AMERICA'S PAST TIME, THAT METAPHOR.
>> EXACTLY.
>> Stephen: WHAT I'M CURIOUS ABOUT, JUST LISTENING TO HEAR
YOU TALK, IS HAVE YOU EVER GOTTEN HIGH WITH SOMEONE WITH
WHOM YOU SHARE NO POLITICAL PHILOSOPHIES?
IN OTHER WORDS, DO YOU THINK YOU COULD GET HIGH WITH TED CRUZ AND
THAT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO HIM?
ARE THERE A LOT OF FAR RIGHT -- >> IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO HIM
BECAUSE IT WOULD BE HUMANIZING HIM IN SOME WAY TO HANG OUT WITH
ME, I WOULD IMAGINE.
BUT, NO, I DON'T -- I DON'T -- I DON'T THINK SO.
I'VE TRIED, HONESTLY -- THERE ARE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE WHO HAVE
HELD THE BELIEFS -- THAT HOLD THE BELIEFS THAT TED CRUZ HOLDS,
AND I REALLY TRIED TO ENGAGE WITH THEM THROUGHOUT THE LAST
YEAR, AND ULTIMATELY IT WAS HORRIFYING, AND, TRULY, I FELT
LIKE THERE IS NOTHING I COULD CONVEY THAT WOULD REFRAME THIS
PERSON'S REALITY AS THEY VIEWED IT, YOU KNOW.
AND, SO, NO, IT'S LIKE WHEN I WAS ON YOUR SHOW BEFORE AND I
WOULDN'T TAKE A PICTURE WITH PAUL RYAN.
>> Stephen: I REMEMBER THAT.
I DON'T THINK LIKE BEING NICE TO TED CRUZ, FOR ME, LIKE I
DON'T THINK THAT WOULD BE A POSITIVE THING FOR THE WORLD.
IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR HIM.
>> Stephen:SETH, WE HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK.
STICK AROUND.
WHEN WE COME BACK, I'M GOING TO ASK HIM ABOUT A VERY HIGH LEVEL
MEETING HE HAD WITH ONE MR. THOMAS CRUISE.
