“I went to the prop man to make sure I have the prop weed which is like crushed oregano,” McConaughey said on Jimmy Kimmel Live! “[During filming], we pass back and forth and all of sudden at the end he goes, ‘Yo Moondog, that ain’t prop weed, that’s Snoop Weed.’ I was like, ‘Oh you son of a a gun.’”
He continued, “The next 9 hours were a lot of fun but I don’t think we used one word in the English language.”
