All right, you got your throat coat, got your cough drop.

We're preparing for our epic journey.

Yeah, making sure the throat ecosystem is flourishing before intaking the carcinogens.

So this is our annual 420 episode on And, and, and I'm Andy.

I'm Anders J. Lee here.

And you can go back one year ago today and listen to our first 420 episode where we read Benjamine's

writings on hashish and we actually smoked a little bit of hashish ourselves but we're going to

stick with the theme of Benjamine but not him writing on weed on him writing on instead the concept of history.

We're going to read his famous on the concept of history episode,

but we will in a moment go outside and smoke a joint.

For me, it will be the first time since last year when we did this last.

Yes, Anders is a real lightweight.

He's going to get really stoned and paranoid.

And I probably won't be too stoned because I've got a little bit more tolerance.

But I have prepared a little, some notes on the document because...

You told me we're going in fresh.

Okay.

You're going in fresh.

Oh, God damn it.

Because this is a text that gets cited a lot, especially in my sort of ultra-leftist milieu.

People are always referencing this text.

You may know it from its reference to the Angel Novus, the Angel of History Painting by Paul Klee, that's referenced in the text.
