Lighten Up With Lex & Mais Show #2

IT'S LEX

IT'S MAIS

Hey, Hey we are here to enlighten your day with all of our crazy shenanigans.  This week we on We'a you stay had the absolute pleasure of listening to Atmosphere and Soja live on Maui. 

Slug from Atmosphere is who we came to see so we were right up front.  Slug was really great.  He sounded almost exactly the same live as he sounds on his CDs. The beats were great.  The whole performance was SICK!

Mais Rockin it to Atmosphere

Peace Slug you da man!!

When Atmosphere was done throwin it down we went to get our drinks.  Of course we had to stand in two different lines one to get our scripts, or tickets, and one to trade our scripts in for some cold, expensive beers.  No one wants to wait in that line to many times so a double fister is the best solution.  

Waiting in line for scripts

This guy tried to get us to cut in line....we didn't

After we got our beers we went and met up with Trish da Dish.  She is so funny and always a good time.  Soja came on shortly after and we were impressed!  Soja was absolutely amazing live in concert.  They had a drum solo that would make anybody get out of their seats and bob their heads.  

Mais and Trish da dish 

We brought my sister Bailer to have some good ol fashioned concert fun so we went over to the little kids side to check on her and drive her underaged butt home.  After the show we went to have some local kine grinds and found out our first show was up and running for all to see.  We were pretty excited.  We did a cheers with our cheap beers and finished off that perfect night in style.

Look what we found on the underage side....sneaks

It's celebration time!

This recipe was a BIG hit!!!

GET STOOPID:

Mais has been having a fun time watching the regular show on Netflix.  It's a really funny cartoon that is appropriate for kids too.  Good family fun watching the boob tube.

Lex has been watching Reno 911.  It is NOT kid appropriate but it is so funny.  It is a mockumentary making fun of specifically the show cops. The comic actors are playing cops in Reno Nevada.  It is mostly improvised making it an absolute knee slapper.  Ive been watching that on Netflix.

APP OF THE WEEK:

EPICURIOUS.  Mais stumbled upon this app at Christmas time when she needed a recipe for the kids dish that she was asked to bring to a Christmas party.  Epicurious is a great app for all of your recipe needs.  There's a tab for I can barely cook, a tab for I cook like a pro, it gives you recipes with ingredients that are in season, and our favorite recipes for cocktails.  Mais made up some really great sweat pea martinis. Mmmm.

Drink up! (that is Scott the producer in the background:)

Urban Dictionary word of the week:

LEX:  Known especially for uncontrollable humor, seducer of the opposite sex, has a fascination with puns and pranks, the most adorable loveable creature imaginable

"Lex is such a lovely person"

MAIS: A beautiful caramel skinned woman who is mysterious and passionate.  With those hypnotizing eyes she can read exactly whats on your mind.

"A: I fell in love the moment I saw her

  B: How?

  A: Are you kidding me? She's a total Mais"

We thought those definitions were right on.  Go check out your own name on Urbandictionary.com

WHAT'S YO STATUS:

This week talk about what is the correct etiquette when it comes to having veggie friends with meat eating friends and vice versa.  Should the veggie friend make a meat dish when having a dinner party?  Should the meat eating friends go out of their way to make veggie appropriate food?  It was a great topic and we got some great input back from our friends on facebook.  Overall consensus was to make your own dish and bring it :) Check out our show to hear more about that topic.

Postcard of the week:

SNEWS:

Florida has got a problem.  Attack of the giant snail. EWWW!!  These things are huge.  They get as big as rats.  Their shells are so big they can puncture your tires.  We hate snails they eat everything they can get their ugly little mouths on.  

FAR OUT:

What are Chakras?  Chakras are centers of energy, pranas, or life force.  They're located in the midline of the body.  There are seven different Chakras and each one resonates with a different color.

1. Base Chakra

2. Sacral Chakra

3. Naval Chakra

4. Heart Chakra

5. Throat Chakra

6. Third eye Chakra

7. Crown Chakras

When the Chakras are in balance we can find more peace in our lives as well as less pain in the body.

Next week we are going to go into detail about the BASE CHAKRA.  You wont wanna miss it!

420 Special

Welcome to Lighten up with Lex & Mais 420 Special

   

This week on Food for Health: Cannabis Oil 

Researchers at Harvard tested the chemical THC in both lab and mouse studies.  THC actually activates naturally produced receptors to fight off lung cancer.  The researchers suggest that THC or other designer agents that activate these receptors might be used in a targeted fashion to cure lung cancer

A British study injected mice with human lung cancer cells and then injected THC into the mice for three weeks and found that tumors were reduced in size and weight about 50%

A biologist in Madrid noticed that when exposing brain cancer cells to THC it caused them to die

endalldiesease.com/harvardstudy

We did some research looking for a person who has a succes story using Cannabis to cure cancer and I found a great blog about a woman named Lindsey.  Lindsey cured her cancer using cannabis oil in 45 days

Lindsey found out that she had colon cancer and so she did what every other person does who has just been diagnosed with cancer, she started chemo.  Half way through the chemo she went in for a check up to find out that the chemo, had in fact, made her worse.  She decided she was done with the chemo and went looking for Natural cures and found Cannabis Oil.  She met some people on facebook and she got 6 syringes of Cannabis Oil for about $1000.  She changed her diet eating all organic and cutting out caffeine and red meats and 45 days later she was cancer free.

christbeatcancer.com/lindsey-cures-colon-cancer-with-cannabis-in-48-days/

There are a couple ways to use cannabis for health 

1. Cannabis oil     

2. Juice the leaves from the plant 

Theres a great youtube video on this called LEAF

3. Cannabis Butter I recommend herb butter for any woman who has PMS.  We all get it and sometimes you just need to add a little herb butter to your food so you can chill!

Heres a great recipe for some Cannabis butter

1/2 lb of butter

1/2 oz of finely ground marijuana

Melt the butter in a sauce pan until its simmering, add the marijuana and let simmer for 30 minutes or until the butter is green.  Pour through a strainer.  Chill until solid

After you've made your Cannabis butter here's a great recipe I Found

Lemon Cream Sauce with Fettucine

8 oz al dente fettucine

1 C whipping cream

2 tbsp chopped parsley

2 tbsp of grated lemon peel

salt

4 tbsp of canna butter

2 tbsp parmesan cheese

Cook Pasta.  While noodles are cooking place cream in a wide frying pan over medium high heat, cook until bubbling.  Add parsley, lemon peel, and salt.  Cook 30 seconds.  Add hot noodles, reduce heat to low and toss gently.  Add canna butter and parmesan cheese.  Toss until noodles are coated.

This week on GET STOOPID:

WEEDS

Ahhh the final season of Weeds has arrived how sad.  We both love this crazy dark comedy drama.  Every single one of the seasons has been filled with one crazy thing after another.  Very entertaining to say the least.

The central character is Nancy Botwin played by Mary Louise Parker.  She is a widowed mother of two boys and has no idea how she is going to support her family and so she starts to sell marijuana.

Andy played by Justin Kirk is her brother in law who moves in and sort of takes the father figure role of the house.  Andy in my opinion is one of the best characters of the whole show.  

The oldest son Silas played by Hunter Parish is soooo good looking.  He goes into business with his mom growing the weed.

Shane played by Alexander Gold is sort of troubled child.  He ends of being the middle child because in one of the seasons Nancy has another child named Stevie.  His father is the mayor of Tijuana and the biggest Mexican gangster.

By far the funniest character of the whole show Doug Wilson played by Kevin Nealon.  He is so raunchy and hilarious.

The last season was really good just like all the other seasons. We were slightly disappointed by the ending, but I wont give anything away in case some of you haven't watched it yet.  The whole show starting from the first season to the last is on Netflix.

We gave it 4 Snaps  

APP OF THE WEEK:  SNAP CHAT

It's free of course.  Its a fun way to keep in touch with your friends using pictures.  Watch the tutorial so you can figure it out.  You take a picture, you decide how long your friends can look at it, after they've seen it the pictures disappears forever.  It's great fun!

Best Website of the Week:

Celebritystoner.com

A fun website that gives information about all of the Celebrity Stoners out there.  They've got some great coverage of Denver Colorados 420 Rally.  CRAZY!!

Urban Dictionary Word of the week:   Marijuana

A God Given Medicine

"Yo! We just smoked some mary jane up in Olin library! Now let's go down the gorge and hit that shit!"

This Week On WHATS YO STATUS?

This week we talk about what's yo status with Mary Jane?  Is it on again off again, are you together forever, have you decided to totally break it off??

Postcard of the week:

THIS WEEK ON SNEWS:

This week we talk about the great topic where did 420 come from?  It is just like stoners to make up a time for something and then totally forget where they got it and that is just the case for 420.  The best story I read was of a group of guys who knew of this place where there was some herb growing.  They devised a plan to go on a mission to steal some and so they decided on the meeting time to be 420.  When they were in the halls at school all day they kept saying 420.  That is only one theory there are many more if you check out a website called huffingtonpost.com.

We want to thank all of our friends and family for checking out our show.  We want to thank Inside out Universe Productions and TheModcorp.com.  If you got some time check out our friends very creative awesome band at flashdrivehi.com  We will be back Friday, April 26th with show #2.

GOOD TALK!!
