During the pair’s chat on the patio of the Four Seasons during SXSW, Geist asked Harrelson about how great Austin is. “This is a great town, you know,” he said. “And being a Texan, it’s just getting to come home.

Bongs and bogos come together! Matthew McConaughey and Snoop Dogg star in The Beach Bum which opens today. Earlier this week, the duo appeared on Jimmy Kimmel to chat about the film. But it was the segment that aired the following night that we found even more entertaining. Since MM plays a marijuana enthusiast in the film, Kimmel sent him out on Hollywood Boulevard to offer people a variety of cannabis-infused food items (which were really just regular food items). There was no marijuana in them at all but that didn’t stop people from thinking they were dazed and confused. Watch the segment below.
