Mine was nine months for free before I 97 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 1: ever made a dime and then I literally made a dime. 98 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: But good thing.

It's one hundred. You know. I'm sitting 107 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: there bullshit and hoping he didn't have a scale in 108 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: his back pocket. And he never had a scale, so 109 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: I was good. So anyhow, thank you to the interns. 110 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: That's some more of the story. But I got a 111 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: question for you guys, Mark or she be Craig and Blue. Yes, 112 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: how many jobs you guys think there are in there? 113 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: And this is definitely a go green story, but I 114 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: want to lead it in with a question. How many 115 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: jobs are there in America in the legal marijuana industry? 116 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: Rough estimate? Of course, it's random, but you know Leafly 117 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: did a report and they threw out the jobs. And 118 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 1: I'm talking about ancillary jobs as well, so not only 119 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: just working in a dispensary directly with cannabis, ancillary to 120 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: the show. Joe, Yeah, so what do you think think? 121 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: I believe, Well, you're you're a little like everybody says, 122 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: you shot a little high. I guess I would get 123 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: if I had a better memory. We went over this 124 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: if I if I wanted to take my shot, I'd 125 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: say somewhere about three thousand or so, three one thousand 126 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: to be exactly. You're a little low. I just read 127 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: it well, but put gave me the wrong information. I 128 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: thought I had a little insider and he was over 129 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: there three thousands. You did this as your new segment. 130 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: I'm doing it as a go green money making segment. 131 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: So you know, there's tokid of two scenarios, and I 132 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: wanted to show you how you deliver something like this 133 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: as well. So there's a teaching moment, and you see 134 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: how I I showed you how you how you I 135 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 1: asked you a question of regarding my story where you 136 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: just went there's three full time equivalent jobs to almost 137 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: old man. You know what. It's going to lead into 138 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: another story that I'm gonna come. Didn't listen to that 139 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: show either, and I know you did, but I really 140 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: wanted to show and ask the questions well leading to 141 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: your memory, which I'm gonna do on another show about 142 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: marijuana amongst older adults and how they did rodents and 143 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: you as a test monkeys. What's your name exactly? No? 144 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: It actually no, let me get into so that total 145 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: includes both, you know, plant touching and ancillary jobs. But 146 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: it just goes to show you that this is the 147 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: craziest part about this. In the United States, there's more 148 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: legal cannabis workers than electricians. How crazy is that? Dog 149 00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: No eleans. I think you're right, Joe, that that actually, 150 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: you're absolutely right. Bringing this up again definitely shows and 151 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: it exposes more listeners to understanding the significance of the 152 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: cannabis industry. And I wanted to and that's why because 153 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: I think I loved when you did it, and I 154 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: literally read this earlier and I went, I know Craig 155 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: did this, but I'm gonna go out of a different angle. 156 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: So I'm using your same story but giving it that 157 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: a different angle. More than electricians. You ready for this one, 158 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: more legal cannabis workers than E M T s and paramedics. 159 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: Think about that, folks. Every city has them. Everywhere you go, 160 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: you see them. There's more TV shows. It's crazy. Is 161 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: even though we you know, most states have some form 162 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: of medical cannabis, if not adult use, and and here 163 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: in California only, I mean less than a third of 164 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: the cities in the entire state and the counties allowed 165 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: cannabis activity legal that we're still able to get that 166 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: three hundred twenty one thousand jobs in the limited regulated area.

Here we go, 497 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 1: here we go, no politics, right guys. So so listen 498 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: with did you see a little Wayne light? I actually 499 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 1: I know where you've seen him? You see him at 500 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: the at the cannabis event right. No, no, no, you'll 501 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: never get You'll never guess where I saw him. Probably 502 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: in a million years, Las Vegas, your backyard. He came over, 503 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: but it was at a a of show where But 504 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: the award show was at an award show? What award 505 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 1: show was it that I saw him at? It wasn't 506 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: award show. It wasn't award show. Yes, I know which 507 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 1: one it was. It was. It was a porn industry 508 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 1: probably it was the ex bisy Port Awards. I knew 509 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: it just by you asking what award industry was, just 510 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: because I know how it would be to be the 511 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,439 Speaker 1: biggest talent agencias in l A. And he goes there 512 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 1: every year. So itways that they're believing the g the 513 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,159 Speaker 1: g k U, a ultra premium brand, is saying that 514 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: they're gonna expand this globally with with the Little Wayne 515 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: brand and bringing it out to the people, and they 516 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: they have to go with CBD at first, and right, 517 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 1: I mean, that's they're just gonna they have to piece 518 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 1: in every state and country that's correct. So what they'll 519 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: end up doing is licensing it until it goes federally illegal. 520 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,959 Speaker 1: But I think they're they're looking forward right and believing 521 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 1: that it's gonna be legal all these federal states here shortly, 522 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: Little Wayne has such a big name on the streets 523 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: and with folks. I mean, just with a show of 524 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 1: hands in the room right here, how many people really 525 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 1: like Little Wayne? You guys? Yeah, I would say the 526 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: majority like. And that's the majority of in this room. 527 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: You know what's funny, Well it was three out of two, 528 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 1: more than three out of five. Whatever, Um, I'm not 529 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 1: that big of a fan. You like him? Yeah, I like. 530 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: I like some of the stuff, don't get me wrong 531 00:27:58,359 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: when I hear it, and I like his hot boy 532 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 1: younger ship. But that's when I was hot. But then again, 533 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: I don't listen. I listened to albums. I listened to 534 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 1: radio stations that play hip hop or that type of music, 535 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: and I hear all kinds that I like but I 536 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 1: don't listen to one artist. I think the biggest question 537 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 1: is is I want to ask you guys station? Was 538 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:26,639 Speaker 1: that Coast Coast Coast one on one with Little Wayne 539 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: coming to you out there, Craig, big boy station, come on? 540 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 1: That was probably so I guess the question that I have, 541 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: thank you. So the real question is, guys, would you 542 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: smoke or try Little Wayne's new product? Craig, Yeah, why not? 543 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you know his product is gonna be good. 544 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: I would imagine I'm rolling the dice on. He's a 545 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: big name, He's gonna care about it. The things that 546 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: he does, you know, I feel like he doesn't put 547 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: out crap, especially like you know, his merchandise and things 548 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: like that. Everything about Little Wayne, it seems to be quality, 549 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: even though it's not. This this is what people need 550 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: to remember too when people start slapping their name on brands. Um, 551 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: you know, there's only so many growers, there's only so 552 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: many ways to grow ship, and there's only so much 553 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: percentage it can be high and people people have perfected this, 554 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: and you know, there's high tech equipment now that everybody has, 555 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: and so you're probably you know, you're safe to try 556 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: any legal brand as far as they're getting tested for 557 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: all the bad stuff, so you're not gonna probably have 558 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: a bad experience. And as it happens to be a bad, 559 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: bad check could sneak through sometimes, but it's it's highly unlikely. 560 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: So there are gonna be probably decent. It depends what 561 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: it depends. As he given top shelf, medium shelf, low shelve, 562 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: but all shelves, I don't I don't know what they're getting. 563 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: I don't imagine he's gonna pair himself up with some 564 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: myths or some lows, right, I think he's gonna would 565 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: be tried do a full branch of like all three, 566 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: like you know, I got the little Wayne, you know, 567 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: five dollars, and that's what I'm saying. Why not I 568 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: think that's a smart idea, right, I want to hit 569 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,479 Speaker 1: all buyers. Well, I'm not sure I think he Well 570 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: it says here people simply can't afford what it takes 571 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: to get the top tier that I think I can be. 572 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: There's you know how much it costs to make something, 573 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: you know, out of pure bud when no one is 574 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: running concentrates. Some people wonder why it's so expensive. It's 575 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 1: because you're making it from pure but you're not taking 576 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: shake and making and making wax. Would you Would you 577 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: think Joe that he's a connoisseur of cannabis absolutely and 578 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 1: concentrates at least I would, so, I mean, listen, I would. Yeah, 579 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: he has to be right. I mean, he's smoked. I've 580 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: seen him smoke every single you know event, I've seen 581 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,239 Speaker 1: him at full on and and every interview I've seen. 582 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: But it's still about production. I mean, it's it's it's 583 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: difficult to license. I mean some people probably, I mean, 584 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if it's gonna be fifty 585 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: fifty about licensing the name or the brand and the 586 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: quality control you're gonna have, and do you how much 587 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: you care? I mean, none of it's gonna be horrible, 588 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But he does have it 589 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: an un you know, matched fan base. I mean, his 590 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: unmatched fan base is ridiculous compared to like, you know 591 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: and nobody else. I mean, he may be able to 592 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: get his fans. I'm gonna go try some of that 593 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: ship and hands down, and most likely it will be 594 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 1: as good as you know everybody else's for the most part. Well, 595 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: I think you said it. Craig as you said, you know, 596 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: there's everyone's a good grower at this point, you know, 597 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: and you're gonna know if you're buying a sixty eight, 598 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: are you're buying the job? The job though, for him 599 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: and his team, the hardest job is sourcing what you're 600 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: putting your name on. Well, that the hardest part. The 601 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: owners his name is bo galab Boga lab says, Colorado 602 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: is the oldest adult US market in the US, and 603 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: we're excited to bring the ultra premium product to our 604 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: customers and appreciate quality. So I see that's tough. I 605 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: mean to me, that's a tougher. It'll be interesting. I 606 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 1: wish you, you know, if we can get some of 607 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: that at some point from Colorado. I'd love to see 608 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: what they say is premium, because people say super premium 609 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: to one is not premium to another. Well, when we 610 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 1: were at that dispensary in Colorado, they look like they 611 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: had some good top shelf cannabis there and smell good 612 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 1: sticky all. No, you're not. You're not listening. Though. To 613 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: enter the market as a premium brand, you gotta bring it. 614 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: If you come as a as a middle tier, which 615 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: isn't a bad thing it is for a little Wayne, 616 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 1: I mean little way. You can't come out and be 617 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:46,239 Speaker 1: like on the table higher bar. That's a higher bar 618 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: to me when you come out and say this is 619 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: premium and you're gonna want premium pricing, which better be 620 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: premium at the end of the day, a little more 621 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 1: difficult to achieve. I think you can't come out saying 622 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 1: it's premium and bring out some myths and then it 623 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: doesn't especially on the streets, because the streets talk, so 624 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: I mean, and and it's Little Wayne or not, They're 625 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,239 Speaker 1: gonna say what they feel. It wasn't as good as 626 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: his other stuff that I just bought. Here. So the 627 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 1: brand kicks off a launch with I g live session 628 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: with Young Money's artist Little Twist in honor of the 629 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 1: new collection. And so they've already started talking about it 630 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: socially and I believe it pretty soon it's gonna start 631 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,479 Speaker 1: going viral. And that's who's making ways in cannabis talk. 632 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: Why don't we get him on here to talk about 633 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: his new brand. You know what's funny, We're trying to Peanut. 634 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 1: We'll reach out to him, but we literally just reached 635 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: out to ice Cube and if my phone rings from 636 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: an unknown number.
