♪♪♪ >> Stephen: OH, LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN. WELCOME BACK. YOU KNOW MY GUEST TONIGHT FROM
SUPER BAD, PINEAPPLE EXPRESS AND LONG SHOT. HE HAS JUST WRITTEN A NEW BOOK
CALLED "YEAR BOOK." PLEASE WELCOME BACK TO "A LATE
SHOW." SETH ROGEN. SETH ROGEN, THANK YOU FOR BEING
HERE. >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. GREAT TO BE HERE. >> Stephen: THIS IS AS MUCH AS
ANYONE IS WITH ANYONE ANYMORE UNTIL THINGS IMPROVE. LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE WHICH
WAS 2019, I GUESS. >> YEAH. >> Stephen: YOU HAD JUST
LAUNCHED -- WHAT'S THE NAME OF YOUR CANNABIS RELATED COMPANY
THERE. >> IT'S CALLED HOUSE PLANT. >> Stephen: HOUSE PLANT. YOU LAUNCHED IT IN YOUR NATIVE
CANADA. >> YES. >> Stephen: BUT SINCE THEN
LAUNCHED IN THE UNITED STATES. WHO WAS IT RECEIVED, THE LAUNCH? >> OUR WEB SITE CRASHED
INSTANTANEOUSLY SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT OUR LAUNCH DAY. OUR PRODUCTS ARE GENERALLY
SELLING OUT WITHIN SEVERAL HOURS, OUR HOME GOODS. WE SELL HOME GOODS, ASHTRAYS,
TABLE LIGHTERS, THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT ARE BEAUTIFULLY
DESIGNED. WE HAD NO IDEA IF PEOPLE WOULD
WANT THIS STUFF OR NOT, BUT THANK GOD THEY DID, AND WE
SHOULD HAVE MADE MORE OF IT AND WE'RE GOING TO RIGHT NOW. >> Stephen: NOW THAT YOU ARE
NOT JUST A USER OR ENJOYER, USER SOUNDS A LITTLE BIT LIKE YOUR
BOOT AND HORSE. >> EXACTLY. >> Stephen: NOW THAT YOU'RE
NOT JUST AN ENTHUSIAST BUT A DISTRIBUTOR, HAS IT CHANGED YOUR
RELATIONSHIP WITH CANNABIS? >> I'D SAY IT STRENGTHENED IT IF
ANYTHING. IT'S NICE TO BE ABLE TO EXPRESS
MYSELF THROUGH ANOTHER PRODUCT, YOU KNOWUM. AND, HONESTLY, I FEEL LIKE I
CAN. LIKE, I FEEL LIKE, THROUGH
THE -- HONESTLY, THROUGH THE PACKAGING AND THROUGH THE
IDENTITY OF THE COMPANY AND THROUGH THE WEED THAT WE ARE
SELLING TO PEOPLE, I REALLY FEEL LIKE IT IS AN EXTENSION OF WHO I
AM AND IT IS VERY LOVELY TO SHARE WITH PEOPLE. >> Stephen: WELL, I WANT TO BE
VERY CLEAR TO EVERYONE AT CBS BRASS RIGHT NOW WATCHING THAT
I'M NOT ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO GO TO THIS WEB SITE, BUT I AM
CURIOUS, YOU CAN LITERALLY ORDER WEED ONLINE? >> YES, IF YOU'RE IN LOS ANGELES
RIGHT NOW, YOU CAN GO TO HOUSE PLANT AND WE WILL DELIVER YOU
WEED, YES. >> Stephen: AGAIN, WE'RE NOT
TELLING PEOPLE TO DO THAT. I'M JUST ASKING YOU IF THAT IS A
LEGAL THING TO DO? >> THAT IS A LEGAL THING TO DO
IN CALIFORNIA. YOU CAN TRY IN OTHER STATES, IT
WON'T LET YOU DO IT, YEAH. >> Stephen: OKAY. ANY PLANS TO EXPAND? >> VERY MUCH SO. WE WOULD LOVE TO EXPAND. >> Stephen: WHAT ABOUT
NEW YORK, NEW YORK, THE BIG CITY OF DREAMS? IT'S LEGAL IN NEW YORK, TOO. >> THAT WOULD BE GREAT. AS SOON AS THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS
UP AND RUNNING, WE WOULD LOVE TO SELL WEED TO THE PEOPLE OF
NEW YORK VERY, VERY MUCH. >> Stephen: ANOTHER THING YOU
HAVE BEEN RENOWNED FOR WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT THE LAST TIME YOU
WERE ON THE SHOW WAS YOUR POTTERY. I HAVE BEEN A BIG FAN. IT WAS JUST LIKE PINCH POTS,
ASHTRAYS, BUT YOU'VE REALLY KICKED IT UP. IS IT ON YOUR INSTAGRAM FEED? >> YES. >> Stephen: DO YOU HAVE ANY
THERE? BEAUTIFUL GLAZING WORK. >> I HAVE A FEW HERE. THIS IS ONE I MADE. THIS IS A PURPLE VASE. >> Stephen: THAT'S GORGEOUS. IS THAT A SMOOTH GLAZE JUST WITH
A PROFILE TO IT? THAT'S GORGEOUS. >> LAYERS OVERUNDERGLAZE AND
THEN ON TOP OF IT IS A GOOPY GLAZE I MADE MYSELF BECAUSE I
TOOK A WORKSHOP WHERE I LEARNED THE CHEMISTRY OF GLAZEMAKING. >> Stephen: I WOULD LOVE THAT
ONE. ARE THESE FOR SALE? >> NO, BUT IF YOU WANT ONE, I'LL
SEND YOU ONE. I SEND THEM TO PEOPLE I LIKE,
SO, YEAH, YOU CAN HAVE ONE. >> Stephen: CAN I HAVE THE
BLUE ONE? >> YOU SURE CAN. IT'S YOURS, I'LL SEND IT TO YOU. >> Stephen: IT WILL GO
BEAUTIFULLY ON MY BOOKSHELF RIGHT HERE. >> IT WOULD. THESE ARE MUGS I'VE MADE. >> Stephen: I KNOW ON HOUSE
PLANT, YOU CAN ACTUALLY BUY THINGS LIKE ASHTRAYS AND STUFF. ARE THEY INSPIRED BY YOUR
CERAMIC WORK OR TOTALLY INDEPENDENT? >> THEY ARE. I AICSLY DESIGNED SOME OF THE
ASHTRAYS WE SELL. THESE ARE SOME OF THE ONES. I KIND OF LIKE ENVISIONED THIS
CUP ASHTRAY WITH A LITTLE NOTCH HERE WHICH WAS VERY MUCH BASED
OFF OF MY NEEDS. THESE ARE A COUPLE I'VE MADE. >> Stephen: BEAUTIFUL. YEAH. AND I ALSO HAVE MADE THESE
GLAZES. >> Stephen: YOU'VE ALSO --
YOU'VE HAD WHAT YOU ARE DESCRIBING AS NOT A FEUD WITH
TED CRUZ, OKAY. IT'S NOT A FEUD. HE HAS SAID THAT YOU ARE, YOU
KNOW -- HE'S SAID THAT BASICALLY YOU'RE A RICH, ANGRY HOLLYWOOD
CELEBRITY, AND YOU SAID IF YOU'RE A WH WHITE SUPREMACIST
FASCIST THAT DOESN'T FIND IT OFFENSIVE WHEN SOMEONE CALLS
YOUR WIFE UGLIER IS THE ( BLEEP ) YOU. IS THAT PASSING HARSH JUDGMENT? >> FEUD IMPLIES EQUAL GROUND. >> Stephen: HATFIELDS AND
McCOYS, THAT SORT OF THING. >> IF SOMEONE'S TRYING TO MURDER
SOMEONE WITH A BE ABLE TO BAT AND SOMEONE IS YELLING THAT
PERSON TO STOP, IS THAT A FEUD? I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A FEUD. I THINK FEUD IMPLIES TWO PEOPLE
HITTING EACH OTHER WITH BASEBALL BATS. I'M, LIKE, TED CRUZ IS A
FASCIST. HE DENIES THE REALITY OF THE
ELECTION. HIS WORDS CAUSE PEOPLE TO DIE,
AND I'M MAKING JOKES ABOUT IT. IS THAT A FEUD? I DON'T KNOW. TO ME, IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A
FEUD. TO ME, SEEMS LIKE I'M POINTING
OUT THE FACT THAT HE IS A TERRIBLE MAN WHOSE WORDS HAVE
RESULTED IN DEATH, YOU KNOW, AND I GUESS, TO ME, YEAH, LIKE -- I
MEAN, IT SPEAKS TO WHAT I THINK IS A BIGGER PROBLEM IN AMERICA
WHICH IS A FALSE EQUIVALENCY, AND I WAS GOING TO USE THE TERM
"BETWEEN THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT" WHICH MAKES IT SEEM LIKE TWO
APPENDAGE AS OF THE SAME CREATURE, WHICH I DON'T THINK IT
IS. I THINK ONE IS -- ONE IS A
CREATURE AND THE OTHER'S JUST TRYING TO STOP IT FROM
DESTROYING THE COUNTRY, AND, SO, I DON'T KNOW IF, LIKE, IS THAT A
FEUD? I DON'T KNOW. ARE THOSE TWO THINGS ON THE SAME
LEVEL? LIKE -- AND I AGREE THAT, LIKE,
I THINK IT'S EASY TO SAY, LIKE, THAT MAY BE THE LEFT FEELS
INEFFECTIVE IN COMPARISON TO HOW THEY SHOULD, BUT IT'S LIKE IF
YOU WERE PLAYING BASEBALL AGAINST A TEAM AND, LIKE, YOU'RE
TRYING TO GET A LOT OVERRUNS AND THE OTHER TEAM IS TRYING TO
BLUDGEONED YOU TO DEATH, LIKE, IS IT LIKE SHOCKING THAT YOU'RE
NOT SCORING AS MANY RUNS AS MAYBE YOU SHOULD BE SCORING? NO, THE OTHER TEAM IS JUST
TRYING TO BEAT YOU TO DEATH WITH BASEBALL COMBATS, YOU KNOW. >> Stephen: I LIKE THAT
METAPHOR. IT'S AMERICA'S PAST TIME, THAT
METAPHOR. >> EXACTLY. >> Stephen: WHAT I'M CURIOUS
ABOUT, JUST LISTENING TO HEAR YOU TALK, IS HAVE YOU EVER
GOTTEN HIGH WITH SOMEONE WITH WHOM YOU SHARE NO POLITICAL
PHILOSOPHIES? IN OTHER WORDS, DO YOU THINK YOU
COULD GET HIGH WITH TED CRUZ AND THAT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO HIM? ARE THERE A LOT OF FAR RIGHT --
>> IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO HIM BECAUSE IT WOULD BE HUMANIZING
HIM IN SOME WAY TO HANG OUT WITH ME, I WOULD IMAGINE. BUT, NO, I DON'T -- I DON'T -- I
DON'T THINK SO. I'VE TRIED, HONESTLY -- THERE
ARE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE WHO HAVE HELD THE BELIEFS -- THAT HOLD
THE BELIEFS THAT TED CRUZ HOLDS, AND I REALLY TRIED TO ENGAGE
WITH THEM THROUGHOUT THE LAST YEAR, AND ULTIMATELY IT WAS
HORRIFYING, AND, TRULY, I FELT LIKE THERE IS NOTHING I COULD
CONVEY THAT WOULD REFRAME THIS PERSON'S REALITY AS THEY VIEWED
IT, YOU KNOW. AND, SO, NO, IT'S LIKE WHEN I
WAS ON YOUR SHOW BEFORE AND I WOULDN'T TAKE A PICTURE WITH
PAUL RYAN. >> Stephen: I REMEMBER THAT. I DON'T THINK LIKE BEING NICE
TO TED CRUZ, FOR ME, LIKE I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD BE A
POSITIVE THING FOR THE WORLD. IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR HIM. >> Stephen:SETH, WE HAVE TO
TAKE A QUICK BREAK. STICK AROUND. WHEN WE COME BACK, I'M GOING TO
ASK HIM ABOUT A VERY HIGH LEVEL MEETING HE HAD WITH ONE
MR. THOMAS CRUISE.
