Stoner buddy comedy has never really gone out of style since you guys brought it to the masses, from Bill and Ted to Beavis and Butthead to "The Big Lebowski" to Harold and Kumar to "Pineapple Express." Does that feel to either of you like vindication?
Cheech:
You know, the only vindication is how our movies are rented, they are rented all the time. I've gotten the same royalty checks for "Up in Smoke" for 30 years, Cheech and Chong is a rite of passage now for people who are 15 or 16, they want to hear Cheech & Chong. I am really looking forward to doing this again. We are in a unique position, Tommy and I. Not many acts in show business can go strong for 20-some years, then take a break for 25 years, and then come back and still have the following you had.
Chong: I can't argue with that. We're still doing it, man. We're still alive. I don't see anybody else out there. I heard an interview with Jerry Lewis one time and the interviewer asked why there were no more comedy teams, and Jerry said, "There is: Cheech & Chong." That pretty much ended the conversation.

    That's only ONE reason why I think republicans are evil.

    Geez, what kind of drug users are you taling about? Crackheads, meth addicts. heroin junkies, alcoholics? I've never known marijuana to do any of the things you just described, and we're talking about marijuana here. Hello?

    So give me a reason why marijuana should be illegal. Don't even think about mentioning the words "gateway" or "children" because that's all bunk and you know it.

    How about when they were driving the Volkswagon with the 30 Gallon open drum of gasoline in the back.
