Transcript:

James West:   Welcome back to Midas Letter RAW, it is Friday, and so being Friday, we’re going to do something a little bit differently. I have, as my opening co-host, Mr. Humble Howard Glassman, famed half of Humble & Fred in the morning, Humble & Fred in the afternoon, Humble & Fred at night – one of the longest-lasting syndicated radio shows in Canadian history, I would say.

Humble Howard: Did you almost call me a half-wit? Cause I think you –

James West:   Whoa, stop!

Humble Howard: Cause I just want you to know, I didn’t know I was going to do the show, I haven’t shaved, I’ve got my Christmas sweater on, I’m happy and excited to be here with you, sir. What a wonderful – this is freaking me out too. I don’t want to see myself.

James West:   Don’t look. The trick is not to look. Howard, you’re doing a performance on Sunday night at Yuk Yuk’s. tell us about that.

Humble Howard: [laughter] I will, gentle person. It’s called Kosher Kush, and it’s all about the world of weed and Hebrews. Can you imagine the Hebrews are starting to get into comedy now. It’s a new thing.

James West:   I see, it’s a tribal affair.

Humble Howard: It’s a pretty cool show. It’s headlined by a pretty funny Jewish comedian named Ian Sorota, and myself, I’m hosting it, and all the comics are going to be talking about joints and Jews.

James West:   Wow.

Humble Howard: And we invite everyone to come and see it.

James West:   I have a friend down in California who makes marijuana juice out of cannabis, and so it’s about juice-making in cannabis?

Humble Howard: No, Hebrews, young man! It’s about juice-making, yes, it’s about the JEWS, my friend.

James West:   Oh, the JEWS!

Humble Howard: I’m going to begin the evening by singing Havana, Marijuana, Havana Joint, that type of thing, and then we’re going to take it from there.

James West:   Oh my god, that is awesome. I’m going to come and see you.

Humble Howard: It is funny, and you screwed the joke up, Ed, that’s not the joke. But it’s something like that. Anyhow, I’m really excited to be back on the Midas Letter, because when we got together in October, I had no idea of who you were and what this was. Having now seen it and watched it, I get a sense that you’re really filling a void because there’s not anything like this when it comes to the world of you know, marijuana content dissemination. It’s amazing. I want to say thank you for having me back.

James West:   Howard, it is our pleasure, and I think we’re going to be seeing a little bit more of you than we have; this is your second time on our illustrious platform.

Humble Howard: Oh yes, this is my second time.

James West:   But the thing we have in common that has drawn us together – correct me if I’m mistaken – is, in fact, the consumption of cannabinoids on a regular basis?

Humble Howard: I’m definitely somebody that has availed himself of the magic that is marijuana.

James West:   Are you high right now?

Humble Howard: I am not high right now.

James West:   Oh, so this is you normal? I can’t wait to see you high.

Humble Howard: This is as normal as it gets for me. You know, it’s funny, I do – there’s a whole revolution, I think I mentioned this last time, that a lot of people in our age group, 45, 55, 65, they think marijuana is about getting high. And in actual fact, as you know, it’s really not – it’s about a different sensation, it’s about, you know, there’s a whole world of marijuana efficacy that has nothing to do with getting high, that’s helped people through all kinds of – one of my companies is a company called StrainPrint, and I’m happy to plug them because what it is, is, if you have a symptom that’s maybe as severe as, you know, maybe Parkinson’s, or just a regular daily anxiety, there’s a strain that you can find to help you in your journey.

James West:   And who’s the CEO of StrainPrint?

Humble Howard: This is a great question.

James West:   Cause he was here two weeks ago and I can’t remember his name. Though he’s got a great set of guitars and we’re going to jam together, that’s what I remember.

Humble Howard: Do you play guitar?

James West:   Guitar is not my main instrument. I can play a few songs –

Humble Howard: How are you going to be jamming?

James West:   Piano, mostly. Keyboards and vocals is my main thing.

Humble Howard: Is that right? Anyway, StrainPrint would be a way to look at the world of cannabis rather than just, you know people that did it in the 70s when they were in college, they just think of it as oh, you know, I’m going to go get a buzz on. It’s not. It’s all about managing anxiety and managing symptoms and sleeping better and insomnia, and that’s why I am happy to say I’m a regular user.

James West:   Excellent.

Humble Howard: Although I think doing this show high would be kind of fun.

James West:   You now, we’re going to have Andy Muroff from Strainprint back on the show, because his actual presentation was great. The problem with it that company was he’s private, and so there’s really no opportunity for investors, which is what we’re all about here. However, we’re going to leave it there for now. I want everybody who wants to come and join Howard and watch his show Kosher Kush at Yuk Yuk’s on Sunday night at 8:00 in downtown Toronto.
