LIVE With Kelly & Mark star Kelly Ripa has wasted no time correcting an audience member on Wednesday’s morning show episode.

Kelly, 53, and Mark, 52, discussed the tumbleweeds taking over the Southwestern states of Utah and Nevada over the weekend during their opening segment.

Kelly announced that the tumbleweeds were “running amuck” in those states.

Mark informed Kelly and the Live audience that tumbleweeds were not “natural to the West” but brought over from “another country.”

Mark and Live producer Michael Gelman, 62, agreed that the recent phenomenon was known as weed-ageddon.

Kelly rectified the term, explaining that the occurrence was actually called tumblegeddon.

“Weed-mageddon is probably pot,” she said, causing the crowd to bust out laughing.

“I see someone that celebrates weed-mageddon,” Kelly continued, eyeing an audience member.

She asked the person if they celebrated 4/20.

When they responded, “Yes, ma’am,” Kelly took the opportunity to stop people from calling her that.

“Don’t you ma’am me. I know what 4/20 means. I’m not ma’am yet,” Kelly told them.

When it comes to 4/20, the exact origin is a bit questionable.

During the 1970s, a group of students at San Rafael High School in California referred to themselves as the Waldos, as they often sat on a wall outside of their school, per the Los Angeles Times.

The group began taking trips together, which they labeled “safaris.”

One of their official rules was that the members must be stoned – as in high on marijuana.

The Waldos reportedly began meeting at 4:20 p.m. to smoke, and the number became a code word for them to refer to the act of smoking weed.

When the term 4/20 began spreading through mutual friends and acquaintances, it found footing in the Grateful Dead community.

The Grateful Dead is a jam band known for its large fanbase, which often follows the group from state to state whenever they tour.

After 4/20 became a popular phrase, the origin story differed among different groups of people—some say it is the time Jerry Garcia died.

In contrast, others say it is in reference to the police code for marijuana.

It is now common practice for those who smoke weed to celebrate annually on April 20th, or 4/20.

Steve Capper, one of the original members of the Waldos, 4/20 celebrations were integral to the legalization efforts of marijuana.

“[The celebrations] were kind of the ground zero of getting weed legalized,” he told the Los Angeles Times.

“It was the beginning of [marijuana] activism and fighting back.”

Steve continued: “The media started reporting on these gatherings and suddenly, April 20th became kind of a forum in the media for discussing drug suppression and marijuana legalization.”

One of the original bills for marijuana legalization in California is SB-420.

Filed in 2003, SB-420 states, “any physician [is prohibited] from being punished, or denied any right or privilege, for having recommended marijuana to a patient for medical purposes.”

While medical marijuana has been legal in California since 1996, the state did not legalize the recreational use of the drug until November 2016.
