by Tommy Chong (transcribed by Tommy Chong’s intern, Matt)
Hey man, this is gonna be good. Y’see, me and Cheech—the band’s back together! We don’t play music though (incoherent mumbling)
So I’m just gonna run through some ideas for the new show, and tour and uh, and stuff and you tell us what’cha think, okay? Okay. Here goes.
1.) Up In Smoke All Over Again
Pros: This One makes people think of the first Up In Smoke and how great it was n’ stuff. Plus, it’s a play on words about weed. (long pause) Pun?
Cons: I’m not gonna lie or whatever, okay. We’re old. Not too old to party but too old to be talkin’ bout “up in smoke” when we could (incoherent) ashes (incoherent) dies first I’m lightin’ up his ashes n’ smokin’ it, man!
2) Light Up The Road
Pros: Y’know how you light up a doobie? Well, it’s like that but instead on the road. Plus “light up the road” sounds cool, too, man. You ever see (long pause) what’s the one with the, uh, Biff? Yeah, Back to the Future!
Cons: What if like, the Back to the Future people have a problem with it, huh? Or, like, what if they com n’ they want to see us go back in time n’ stuff? W haven’t written…wrote? Uh, we didn’t write any time travel jokes, man!
3) Light Up America
Pros: Okay, it still sounds cool, plus it’s got America in it, man! People love that stuff. Patriots?
Cons: What if like, President Clinton thinks that we’re like, threatening to light America on fire? Like, we’re drivin on our bus, right? And uh, we stop to take a whizz in the woods, right? And then we like, set the woods on fire? People would hate us, man!
4.) Grumpy Old Stoners
Pros: I dunno, I guess there was this movie called “Grumpy Old Bastards” or something, and it was like a (laughing) a box office smash, man! So, like it might have, uh, a (long pause) ripple effect?
Cons: Like, I don’t know, man? It’s got “stoners” in there, but I’m a pretty jovial guy, y’know? Whatever pays the pot, man! Write that down, Matt, “whatever pays the pot,” it’s a good slogan. Oh man!? You’re writing all this already!? That’s great!
So, send this to uh, Cheech? And ask him what’s up n’ stuff? Get his opinions on the matter. Tell him to grow back his moustache (laughing) no, seriously.
