>> Stephen: A LITTLE BIT.
I GREW UP IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND I DECIDED NOT HAVE ONE AS WELL.
>> REALLY, WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE?
>> Stephen: BECAUSE ON TV AS A CHILD, ANYBODY SOUTHERN WAS
DEPICTED AS DUMB.
AND I DIDN'T UPON WANT TO SEEM DUMB.
I WAS LIKE I'M GOING TO TALK LIKE JOHN CHANCELLOR.
I'M GOING TO TALK LIKE A NEWS GUY OR SOMEBODY LIKE THAT.

CHUCK LORRE AND DAVE JAVERBAUM.
>> DAVE JAVERBAUM CREATED THIS INSANE SHOW.
WE'RE ON NETFLIX NOW.
WE'RE GOING TO DROP THE NEXT 10 IN JANUARY.
>> Stephen: I THINK IT'S THE ONLY PLACE YOU CAN DO IT IS ON
NETFLIX BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE SMOKING A LOT OF WEED.
>> SMOKING WEED, SAYING THE "F" WORD, AND A (BLEEP) FREE FOR
ALL.
>> Stephen: THIS IS NOT NETFLIX.
YOU CAN'T SAY THAT HERE.
YOU CANT SAY THAT HERE.

KATHY WHITEFEATHER BATES?

PARTY.
IT WAS PENNY MARSHALL'S BIRTHDAY.
>> Stephen: YOU CAN SIT IN THE SAME ROOM WITH HIM AND GET HIGH.

HE SAID, "LET ME GET IT LIT FIRST."
AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU, NEVER SHARE A JOINT WITH A STRANGER
EVEN IF THEY'RE FAMOUS, ESPECIALLY BILL MAHR.

IT WAS JUST INSANE.
PEOPLE AT THE TABLE -- >> Stephen: YOU DIDN'T SAY
ANYTHING YOU HAD TO APOLOGIZE FOR LATER, DID YOU?

TABLE.
>> Stephen: WHAT.
>> SHE HAD TO HOLD MY HAND AND SAY, "IT'S OKAY.
IT'S OKAY.
IT WILL BE ALL RIGHT.
REALLY, HONE.
IT WILL BE FINE.
JUST BREATHE."
IT WAS HORRIBLE!
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: THAT SOUNDS
TERRIBLE.
DID YOU BRING ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE?
( LAUGHTER ) >> BUT NOW, I HAVE BEEN DOING
RESEARCH.
THE WONDERFUL THING ABOUT DOING "DISJOINTED" IS WE HAVE A
CANNABIS CONSULTANT.
>> Stephen: LIKE IF YOU DO A COP SHOW, THERE WILL BE AN EXCOP
ON SHOW TEACHING YOU HOW THINGS GO.
>> YOU CAN DO A RIDE-ALONG.
>> Stephen: WHAT DOES THE CANNABIS CONSULTANT CONSULT--
"YOU'RE SMOKING THAT WRONG?" >> YES.
>> Stephen: REALLY?

SAYS, "I LOVE STEPHEN COLBERT.
YOU HAVE TO TELL HIM."

>> Stephen: OKAY.
>> SHE'S REALLY LIKE RUTH.
SHE'S HAD THIS GREAT DISPENSARY FOR 15 YEARS AND BEEN WITH DAVID
