00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 4: about you is you come from a religious background, which

67
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 4: you're a Mormon and an ex Mormon at that you

68
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 4: served on missions for a long time.

69
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,080

Speaker 4: like a lot of things about a lot of different religions.

86
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 4: I choose Christianity, but I've been to mosques, I been

87
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 4: to temples, I've been to Buddhist temples as well, and

88
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,760

89
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 4: to hear your journey on how you became an ex

00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 4: and even what led you into it.

91
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I love Mormons. I don't love the church. And

92
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 5: you know that's where I'm at. Most of my family's Mormons.

93
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 5: Most of my lifelong friends are Mormons or were Mormons.

94
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 3: And so where are you from that you're Mormon, You're

95
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 3: that's not a California to No.

96
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 5: I grew up in Boston, Massachusetts. My story is now

97
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 5: you talk. When I was four years old, my more

98
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 5: my parents joined the Mormon Church. They met two missionaries

99
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 5: and ended up joining the Mormon Church. And I always

100
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 5: joke they're the black sheep of the family, like they

101
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 5: were partying rock stars. Then they met the Mormon missionary,

102
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 5: save them quit all the party. And my dad doesn't

103
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 5: touched alcohol in fifty years. Nice the Mormon Church. Plus

104
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 5: because they're Mormons and the rest of their families Irish Catholic.

105
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 3: Shrinking, smoking cigaret, all that stuff, getting it bite pocular. Yeah,

106
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 3: come on, Kenny Cragg, you know that.

107
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 5: People ask me all the time because you know I'd never,

108
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 5: you know, drank alcohol before I was fifty years old, ever,

109
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 5: never even taste what And people had ask me what

110
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 5: was because it was Mormon. I said, no, it's because

111
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 5: it was Irish Catholic and there was a lot of

112
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 5: alcoholics around. Sure, sure, And that literally was like the

113
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 5: trigger for me to say, I just don't want to

114
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 5: do that.

115
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 2: And so you know, I didn't wait till I was fifty, right,

116
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 2: But I mean, and I had drank alcohol before, but

117
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: I also really didn't like start drinking any alcohol. So

118
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: I was like twenty eight, you know, you know, didn't

119
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 2: for that matter anything. I was pretty I mean, I've

120
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 2: smoked weed before, but you know, yeah, I.

121
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 3: Didn't trying the good shit.

122
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 4: Well sorry, guys, I started at six with everything, smoking weed,

123
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 4: drinking the whole night.

124
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 3: That's why I've been sober twenty four years. That's a

125
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 3: good sign, you know. That's a good sign. You know.

126
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 3: So so you know, keep going on this, so yeah,

127

Speaker 3: please continue.

128
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 5: So I mean at eighteen, you know, I jumped in

129
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 5: a car and drove to a little town called Rexburg, Idaho,

130
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 5: and with a friend of mine and went to college there.

131
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 5: And the way the college was sold to me was

132
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 5: I was we were sitting around doing nothing, working making money.

133
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,799
Speaker 5: I graduated with the sixteen. I'm act two point oh GPA.

134
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 5: I was a rock star in high school. I mean

135
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 5: two point oh.

136
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 4: My whole life was that's barely you could barely play sports.

137
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 3: I was that rock star too. You were both rock stars.

138
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 5: I had a two five.

139
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 3: But whatever.

140
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a lot of work just to play football.

141
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 3: Here's exactly, that's it. I just had to pass. I

142
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 3: could play football, baseball, rugby. Yeah.

143
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 5: Yeah. So, I mean my whole goal was I could

144
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 5: still be on the basketball team with an F and

145
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:43,480

155
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 5: I loved to ski, and I realized my basketball career

156
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 5: wasn't going anywhere. I was offered a scholarship or an

157
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 5: opportunity to play at Massasoy at Community College, and I

158
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 5: looked at myself, six ' four, white center, wasn't going anywhere.

159
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 3: Oh so you're a big kid. Get back then too,

160
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 3: you're a pretty thick center.

161
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 5: How much you do know? I weighed one hundred and

162
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 5: forty eight pounds a day A.

163
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 3: Six five right, what are you? Six four six four?

164
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 5: Yeah? But the problem was I was six ' three

165
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 5: when I was in eighth grade and a freshman, so

166
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 5: I was tagged to be the center of the future team.

167
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 5: Then I never grew and you never got thicker, and

168
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 5: I never got thicker until much later, twenty eight years old.

169
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 3: Wow, yeah, yeah. And so you go to college there?

170
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 3: How was that life for you?

171
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 5: I was amazing. I mean literally it was. So it's

172
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 5: now called byu Idaho. Back then it was called Rick's College,

173
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 5: and it was a church, Mormon owned school. And that

174
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 5: was the first time I was around a lot of

175
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 5: Mormons because I was from Boston. I had Mormon friends

176
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 5: in Boston, but there's not a lot And uh, yeah,

177
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 5: I went to college there, skied four days a week.

178
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 4: Never it was a Mormon college in so you really

179
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 4: got sucked in then. Oh yeah, Oh so your parents

180
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 4: were real happy?

181
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 5: Oh my, yeah, my parents were thrilled. They were they

182
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 5: were rigid, they were rigid growing up, like we had

183
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 5: tough rules.

184
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 3: You know.

185
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 2: And let me let me ask you this, what about like,

186
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 2: you know, so when did you actually break away from

187
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 2: the church?

188
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 5: But what is Yeah, so about forty I left completely?

189
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 5: Long run Yeah, yeah, long run.

190
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

191
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 5: I mean I was probably I was probably done in

192
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 5: my thirties. But you know, you're you're raised. I hate

193
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 5: the word brainwashed. I hate the word cult because the

194
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 5: cult is you know, somebody who follows religious venerations. Just

195
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 5: about everything's cult by the definition. Sure, and brainwashed, no,

196
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 5: but you have cognizant dissonance. And so to think of

197
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 5: a world because you're raised that you're chosen people. You're right,

198
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 5: everyone else is wrong. This is the true Church and

199
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 5: there's no fallback position. And so when you're raised with that,

200
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 5: when you leave the Mormon Church, you're leaving behind. You're

201
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 5: no longer going to be with your children in heaven,

202
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 5: You're no longer going to be with your wife. You

203
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 5: can't baptize your children. You can't.

204
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 3: That's the story.

205
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, And when you.

206
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 3: Believe religion though, for God's sakes, I mean, you know,

207
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 3: Christianity is the only way to heaven.

208
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 4: Follow Jesus Allah is the only way.

209
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 2: Of those things have changed a lot of those things

210
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 2: have changed in the religion through the through the New Testimonies,

211
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 2: and and and and and I don't thinking Mormon.

212
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 5: As a Christian. You can be a wayward Christian. But

213
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 5: as long as you have faith and grace and belief

214
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 5: in Christ, you're you're going in the Mormon Church. It's

215
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 5: faith without works is dead. And so even when I

216
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 5: was leaving the church, you get a letter that says,

217
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 5: don't worry. If you live righteously, you can still be

218
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 5: with your children. And like, well, I'm not living righteously

219
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 5: according to what your rules are, right, Like if I

220
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 5: follow the yeah, I'm rude. Yeah, And so that that

221
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 5: that like because that was a true believer and I

222
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 5: was not a halfway in.

223
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 3: I was.

224
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 5: I went on my mission for two years?

225
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 3: Yeah? Did what was that mission?

226
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 4: Like?

227
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 3: Where'd you go?

228
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 5: Awesome? It was Dallas, Texas? The belt buckle, the Bible belt.

229
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 5: Everybody advice, what did you do with a smile? Ready?

230
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 3: So are you a door knocker? Like? What is that?

231
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 3: What is?

232
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 5: Yeah? You knock on doors?

233
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 3: You don't drive cars, right right, So most people don't

234
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 3: have a car.

235
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 5: But you know, look in life, if you're if you're good,

236
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 5: you figure out how to get a car. He's got

237
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 5: a car for twenty months.

238
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, you figure out.

239
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 5: If you get in leadership, you get more perks, you

240
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 5: get the nice apartment, you get the hard working companion

241
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 5: because you're in twos and in life, the harder you work,

242
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 5: the better things get. So I was only not in

243
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 5: a car for four months, but I was an ex.

244
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 4: You explain that more, please, because I'm confused when you

245
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 4: say not in a car, like because you were such

246
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 4: a hardcore Mormon. They said, Greg, you can't drive a car,

247
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 4: and you chose to believe that or what.

248
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 3: Does that mean?

249
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 5: They just put you on a bike in your area

250
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 5: and you cruise around to your bike and you stop

251
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 5: and you knock on doors and you talk to people.

252
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 3: And that was your your mission.

253
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 5: You're not allowed to leave your area, so they give

254
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 5: you Let's say they tell you your area is Stanton, California,

255
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 5: right right right, You can't leave Stanton and you don't

256
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 5: even have all a Stanton and you're on a bicycle

257
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 5: and you have an apartment and you have to stay

258
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 5: in that area, you maybe go to a.

259
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,400

00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 5: what happens.

314
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 3: And they were probably there nineteen to twenty or whatever. Oh,

315
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 3: that's when you go on your mission at nineteen.

316
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 5: Yeah I went at twenty, but Mosco eighteen nineteen. And

317
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 5: this is what happens. You pay for it, so your

318
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 5: family's paying the LDS Church Mormon Church three hundred dollars

319
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 5: a month, and then they give you a stipend based

320
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 5: on where you're you're living, so apartments paid for, everything's

321
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 5: paid for, and then they give it. They gave me

322
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 5: literally like one hundred and thirty four dollars every month

323
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 5: for food. When it runs out, you're out. You rely

324
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 5: on not that much a month. You rely on members

325
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 5: to fij you dinner, You know, Mormons around the area

326
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 5: will fied you dinner, lunch, and so I tell everybody

327
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 5: when you see these guys, they're genuinely out serving people. Yes,

328
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 5: it doesn't hurt you listen to them, feed them, give

329
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 5: them a little money, and you.

330
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 4: If I'm now you know, you're changing a whole perspective

331
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 4: on this. Yeah, if the Mormon probably at my house,

332
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 4: can I give them some food and they'll take.

333
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 5: It percent, they will do that. They might come by

334
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 5: every week and.

335
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 3: I'll feed them every week. That's what they're doing. And

336
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 3: they did. They did, I'll do that for six I

337
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 3: didn't know that almost eight weeks. I think six or

338
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 3: eight weeks until I was done with that project. Excuse me,

339
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 3: six or eight weeks since I was done with that project.

340
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 2: They were actually at my place, like religiously showing up,

341
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 2: popping in and they wouldn't take money, but they would

342
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 2: take food.

343
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 3: And they would take food every day and.

344
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 2: They're like, no, we're not taking money, just like okay,

345
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 2: And I would just they were not doing this for money,

346
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 2: We're doing it, you know, I'd be like, well here boom,

347
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 2: and I you know bottom.

348
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 5: You know, yeah, they won't they won't take it. For service.

349
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 5: But I see them around Ramon. Every time I see them,

350
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 5: I'll fill up their gas tanker at the car. I'll

351
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 5: give them twenty dollars. Wow.

352
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, So can I get personal and ask Greg? What

353
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 4: was the straw that broke the camel's back?

354
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 5: You know, I got high and that wasn't it long

355
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 5: before this that broke the camel's back for me? I

356
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,359
Speaker 5: like to be careful and respectful.

357
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 3: But the truth is the truth.

358
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 5: I'd reached a point where I didn't believe anymore, and

359
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 5: I knew that you didn't.

360
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 3: Believe at all, or you didn't believe in that system.

361
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 3: And these are too big.

362
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 5: Belief in God. Okay, but I don't have a strong

363
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 5: belief in a true church. As I said it to

364
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 5: my dad, you dropped calling it the true church. Then

365
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 5: I would consider going back to church. Probably wouldn't, though,

366
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 5: because there's too many other problems, Like I do not

367
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 5: like the way they so I don't believe in tolerating gay.

368
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 3: People, tolerating what gay people.

369
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 5: That's one of their favorite things to say is you know,

370
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 5: we tolerate, we will tolerate gay people. No, the Bible

371
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 5: says love them right, love the sinner, Love yourself, love

372
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 5: others as you love yourself.

373
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 3: Well, the Catholic Church had a hard time with it

374
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 3: for the longest time.

375
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 4: Just this year the pope came out in twenty twenty three,

376
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 4: like to think about it, just this year the new

377
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 4: pope finally said something addressed.

378
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 3: It, like you guys are welcome and it's coming crazy,

379
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 3: which is which is really absolutely crazy.

380
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 4: You know, I got heels right now in my face,

381
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 4: my hair is because I think that.

382
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 5: What Yeah, but to me love, don't tolerate them?

383
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, love everyone. We're all sinners for good.

384
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 5: And they'll tell you they do, but they throw you

385
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 5: have to listen to what they actually say when they're

386
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 5: not sure paying attention. So the other thing I'll blow

387
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 5: your want mind is my wife and I have eight children,

388
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 5: eight eight very Mormon of you, yes, but we haven't

389
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 5: you know when you have eight kids, like, am I

390
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 5: supposed tolerate a kid that isn't flying right? Or do

391
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 5: I love them?

392
00:16:58,800 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 3: Love? Period?

393
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 5: You know? So and then when you start raising these kids,

394
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 5: you know there's things that say the Mormon Church, they

395
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 5: don't know they say it, but you know, if you

396
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 5: have sex before you're married, you're like already chewed gum.

397
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 5: And then I look at him and go, okay, so

398
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 5: if a girl gets molested, are they already chewed gum?

399
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 5: Because that's what they just heard you say. No matter

400
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 5: what you meant, you can't say this shit to people,

401
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 5: you know. And that's not even getting into the beliefs.

402
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:27,959
Speaker 5: And then you get down a rabbit hole and you

403
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 5: start examining the beliefs. And I would say when Joseph

404
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 5: Smith was proven that the church was in the church

405
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 5: put out a letter admitting this, and they said, yes,

406
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 5: he had sexual relations with an almost fifteen year old girl.

407
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 3: And this was the leader of the Mormon Church, the founder.

408
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I look at that, and he was married,

409
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 5: and I look at that and I go, okay, an

410
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 5: almost fifteen year old girl's actually fourteen boys. So you're

411
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 5: still your coding it.

412
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got a problem with that.

413
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 5: I got I got six daughters. I got a problem

414
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 5: with that. Yeah, like stop, you know, so as as

415
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 5: I moved away from the church, that's and I try.

416
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 5: I don't bet like I have a lot of friends

417
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 5: that have left a lot like they spend a lot

418
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 5: of time bashing the church online. I don't do that.

419
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 3: Sure, Yeah, you're not trying to go to war.

420
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 5: With I've moved on in my life, but man, it's

421
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 5: it's still serves some people with.

422
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 3: That, and if it works for you, God bless.

423
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 2: And let me say this thing, you know, is that

424
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 2: I was I've been on the road, you know, almost

425
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 2: my entire life, right since I was fifteen. You know,

426
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 2: I've been on the road, and you know, being on

427
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 2: the road and being on tours. I you know, you know,

428
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 2: as you know you have to know and I we've

429
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 2: talked about this offline, is that Mormons on the road,

430
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 2: you know, they're traveling Mormons. You know, it's like it's

431
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 2: almost that there's a movie on it, right but but

432
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 2: it's a real thing. And I traveled with so many

433
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 2: Mormons on the road, you know, for so many years,

434
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 2: and some of the best people I've ever worked with.

435
00:18:59,119 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 3: I agree.

436
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 2: I don't believe with the same system, you know, you know,

437
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 2: I think that all of us service the same God.

438
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 2: Whether your God is Jesus Christ, Buddha, Joseph Smith, I

439
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 2: don't care who it is, whatever you want to call it,

440
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 2: it's the same God that that you know, and I

441
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 2: and I you know, that's my opinion and that's it.

442
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 3: You know, it dies there. But but some of.

Speaker 4: Online at bear flaggroup dot com speaking of Bear Flag

468
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 4: Group ironic.

469
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 3: It's great.

470
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,239
Speaker 4: It's great to he exactly. Greg Blue was asking you.

471
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 4: I mentioned about a family that you helped. I don't

472
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 4: know this story out in Ramona. First off, it's Plug,

473
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 4: the dispensary that I think you're part owner of.

474
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 3: Correct.

475
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, Bear Flag owns Ramona Cannabis company, and so that

476
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 5: really helps us in our manufacturing actually little Plug. But

477
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 5: you know, we see all our customers every day. We

478
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 5: know what people actually buy versus what people think they buy.

479
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 5: We we go in, we listen, we you know, ninety

480
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 5: percent of people in this industry are like, I got

481
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 5: twenty bucks, What can I get for twenty bucks? I

482
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 5: need to fall asleep tonight. I need to And they're

483
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 5: a plumber, they're in h fact, they're you know, whatever

484
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 5: they're doing, that's what they're afting. And so we try

485
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 5: to design products to fit with every day people need

486
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 5: because insurance doesn't cover this, and if you need it medically,

487
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 5: it's expensive.

488
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 2: And you know what's crazy is I think a lot

489
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 2: of people, you know, forget where we come from and

490
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 2: where this industry you know, comes from, which is the

491
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 2: medical side. I think a lot of people have got

492
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 2: you know, clouded with the you know, the look of

493
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 2: their cannabis or the what their their messaging is level,

494
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 2: their tach levels or their messaging, you know. And I

495
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 2: think that it's it's unfortunate because you know, we were

496
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 2: discussing this previously, is that you know, the more you give,

497
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 2: the more you get back, you know. And and a

498
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 2: lot of people don't understand that by you know, you know,

499
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 2: you help people, you know, you tend to get helped,

500
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 2: and uh and and it's it's it's some things that

501
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 2: you know you can't teach, you know, I think you

502
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 2: have to you have to learn from you know, and

503
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 2: and having those kind of actions. And I know that

504
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 2: you know, your guys' team, you know, like will stay

505
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 2: open on Thanksgiving for an example, and and sacrifice your

506
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 2: own employees time on a on a you know holiday

507
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 2: so that your patients can get their medicine. It is

508
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 2: not about getting extra money, It's about staying open so

509
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 2: your patients could get medicine on a day that they're

510
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 2: off and they can get it.

511
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 4: Because people and the boon dogs need it too, because

512
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 4: your dispensaries on the moon dogs out there, right.

513
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 3: But they need it. Yeah, I agree, I love it.

514
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 3: I've been there before. It's a nice place. It's cool.

515
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know how far people will drive on a

516
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 5: Thanksgiving to an open dispensary.

517
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 2: To get Yeah, but it's you know, like I said,

518
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 2: it's it's important though that people could get medicaid to

519
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 2: get their medicine and stuff like that. So you know,

520
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 2: with that being said though, like you know, you guys

521
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 2: have a you know, a driver named Joe. Yes, right,

522
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 2: And can you tell us a little bit about the

523
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 2: story of Joe and how he came into the Romona

524
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 2: cannabis story.

525
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, So Joseph Flores, he's our driver and he's a

526
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 5: rock star. He's on call seven days a week, twelve

527
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 5: hours a day, always available, like big part of our team.

528
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 5: He we originally met him. He was he was a customer.

529
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 5: He come in his son had down syndrome. He would

530
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 5: come in to get product for his son. And when

531
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 5: one day he came in and he was out knocking

532
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 5: doors and Ramona to businesses, his son passed away. He

533
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 5: had a problem. They put a trachey out of me

534
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 5: and he wasn't being watched at the hospital. He pulled

535
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 5: it out and he ended up needlessly passing away there

536
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 5: in the hospital and Joseph you know, told us his

537
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 5: story and was like, hey, I don't I don't have

538
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 5: any money to bury him. I got to get him here.

539
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 5: He was, you know, probably a couple hours away at

540
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 5: the time, and so you know, we started a huge

541
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 5: drive with our customers and then we matched everything and

542
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 5: we eventually got that funeral paid for and and we're

543
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 5: he was able to bury his son right in Ramona

544
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 5: so he could be close to him, which is where

545
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 5: he needed to be. And then you know, a couple

546
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 5: of months passed and he was depressed and down. He said,

547
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 5: I just need something to do. Would you guys hire

548
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 5: me for anything? And that's when we hired him to

549
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 5: be a driver. And I mean that that's going back

550
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 5: now three or four years and we had our biggest

551
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 5: week ever or the first week that we wrote them

552
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 5: a check and help them. And it just reminded me

553
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 5: that you know, the more you give, the more you get,

554
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 5: the more good you do, the better things are gonna

555
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 5: happen for you. And so we you know, even now,

556
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 5: every month we donate to Battle Brothers with Brian Buckley.

557
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 3: Love brun What's a company not help HV.

558
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 5: Hel Enolument Valley. But the foundation side of that is

559
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 5: Battle Brothers, and a lot of people get that confused.

560
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 5: Battle Brothers is about helping veterans to be able to

561
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 5: access cannabis through the VA. And you know, Battle Brothers

562
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 5: and Brian have one of the few federal research grants

563
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 5: that are granted in order to do the research to

564
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 5: make that happen. And so then we also and and

565
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 5: I think that's going to be the best way to

566
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 5: get it legalized, because if you can do the research

567
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 5: and the VA decides yes, we can give cannabis to

568
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 5: veterans to help them with their PTSD and their pain

569
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 5: and all the other problems they have, how do you

570
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 5: not legalize it? And so it's a great backdoor entry

571
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 5: that's out there that I don't think the cannabis industry

572
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 5: is doing enough to take advantage of.

573
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 4: I think that what Brian's doing, and you backing that

574
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 4: up by giving them money to help with that is

575
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 4: one of the key elements that this whole cannabis has

576
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 4: been missing, right and Blue and I have been talking research, research, research.

577
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 4: That's what made me love Brian Buckley because I know

578
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 4: that this guy. From the first time we interviewed him

579
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 4: at our old place. I literally fell in love with him.

580
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 4: And Blue wasn't at that first meeting, and I'm like,

581
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 4: me and Chris fray Keto wherever we were.

582
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 3: Like, oh my god, he's the best badass in the world.

583
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 4: But he's doing so much for this plant and for

584
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 4: veterans and for people because once it helps the veterans,

585
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 4: it's gonna mold over to everyone else because they'll be

586
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 4: able to see how it's helping them, and as he

587
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 4: should be helping these veterans.

588
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 3: And he's got an ear in the White House. The

589
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 3: dude can like walk up there to Washington, DC anytime.

590
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 3: He's like, Hey, let's talk to this and he's very knowledgeable.

591
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 4: I just love the fact that you guys are working

592
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 4: and the bottom mind, you guys are both in the

593
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 4: San Diego area.

594
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 2: Sure you know they are certainly a great outfit. Yeah,

595
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 2: you know, they're great, great guys. So so, so tell

596
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 2: us a little bit about, you know, what what your guys'

597
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 2: overall plans are for the year. You know, you discussed

598
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 2: a new place coming up, you guys, ten thousand square foot.

599
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, so Kyle totally is one of my partners, and so.

600
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 3: Going helmets around there too.

601
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 5: I'm sure, Hey, we're about to launch flying helmets. Are

602
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 5: you really a strain called flying.

603
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 3: Helmets as you should? So?

604
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 5: Dope, No, No, it's all Kyle.

605
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 3: I love him. I mean, for that's great.

606
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 5: That's it.

607
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 3: That's the lion helmet.

608
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 5: One thing that's great about Kyle is he's also known

609
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 5: for cannabis. Like I think he's probably more known for

610
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 5: that than his NFL career and his you know, rock

611
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 5: career and all that. I mean, the guy, he's done

612
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 5: a lot. But yeah, so Kyle and I put it

613
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 5: together and where you have ten thousand square feet, we're

614
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 5: just working on the septic tank. As soon as we

615
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 5: figure that out, we'll be able to finalize the plans

616
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 5: and then we'll have it put up in six to

617
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 5: seven months.

618
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 3: And is that next door to the Ramona lookish?

619
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 5: It's going to be attached to the current building, gotcha?

620
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 3: Right? Next right up right? The same address? Yeah, I

621
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 3: mean different address.

622
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 5: No, same address. So the problem is politics wise, So

623
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 5: we have an exemption if every problem. If we do,

624
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 5: we can do ten thousand square feet with our exemption

625
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 5: if we attach it to our current building. If we

626
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 5: don't attach it to our current building, we can only

627
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 5: do twenty five hundred square feet. So I'm going to

628
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 5: attach a ten thousand square foot building to our current

629
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 5: small house that we do everything out of.

630
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,239
Speaker 4: That's gonna be interesting. It's going to go behind them

631
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 4: and to the left. I'm sure because you guys are

632
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 4: not problem.

633
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 2: Basically build up straight, back straight, just one wall that

634
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 2: attaches and then you're gone.

635
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 5: Yep. And once we finish that, we're building out a model.

636
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 5: I'm doing this with Kyle Mike Langford i think been

637
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 5: on the show, and so we're building out a model

638
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 5: where they want to have a place for veterans and

639
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 5: NFL players to come. They're dealing with dementia, dealing with

640
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 5: early on set. I'll sign ct PTSD. So that's the

641
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 5: mental health facility aspect. Uh, we're gonna name Revenant House,

642
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 5: and then we're talking about a cannabis hotel and then

643
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 5: we want to expand more to you know, have more

644
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 5: cannabis businesses out behind that as well.

645
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 3: So in Ramona.

646
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 5: Are just in Ramona, right, m Yeah, build ma Romona.

647
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 5: So there's a lot of reasons.

648
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 3: Uh.

649
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 5: Number one, the town itself, we have a great relationship.

650
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 5: It's partly we donate to the Ramona Senior Living Center.

651
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 5: You know, they have a planning group there with twenty

652
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 5: five people on it, and I think twenty of them

653
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 5: are four, three are ambivalent, and two are against. And

654
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,719
Speaker 5: so they've wanted an industry out by the airport for years.

655
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 5: It's across the street from a five thousand foot runway.

656
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 5: I bought the business based on political dominoes. We were

657
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 5: supposed to close in November of twenty twenty one based

658
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 5: on the moratorium we had, and I bought the business

659
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 5: before then on a gamble that it wouldn't ever close,

660
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 5: and we within three months they got rid of the moratorium.

661
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 5: The business went up in value. Now the next gamble

662
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 5: is federal legalization. When it goes federally legal, we're we're

663
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 5: gonna have that huge facility forty minutes from San Diego,

664
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 5: less than two hours to Orange County, and there's not

665
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 5: too many businesses that big that close to the city.

666
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 5: And we have a five thousand foot runway that we'll

667
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 5: be able to fly things out when the time comes.

668
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 3: How cool is that? Can we can we use it? Now?

669
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 3: That is unbelievable. It can't.

670
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 5: I'm sure it's being done.

671
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's being done. I love California and Ramona, the

672
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 3: whole town.

673
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 4: It's just outside of San Diego, just you know, further

674
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 4: south of Orange County that we have, not that bad far,

675
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 4: about forty five minutes from us, because it's a little inland,

676
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 4: a little east of the water, but not too far,

677
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 4: beautiful area. I love the drive when I went there,

678
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 4: and the place is so nice inside, very very cool.

679
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 4: When we come back, we're gonna take a break real quick.

680
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 4: I want to talk about the Bear Flag group itself

Speaker 4: Let's go, Greg, Let's talk about the Bear Flag Group.

698
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 4: Because you've helped a lot of big brands that I've

699
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 4: seen here and I'm looking on your website right now,

700
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 4: which is very nice, and I see it and I go, Okay.

701
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 4: I read a statement from another owner of a brand

702
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 4: that says, it's great. You guys got manufacturing retail out there, Arimona,

703
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 4: Emergency Transportation coming soon, Cultivation, and then you've worked with

704
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 4: some big brands Easy, Grizzly, Peak, Revenant, HVGC. I mean,

705
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 4: the list goes on and on. How did you get

706
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 4: started with this and what drew you to this? From

707
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 4: being the Mormon itself to of course getting into real estate.

708
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 3: I know that's your background there.

709
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 4: That probably gave you some loot to get all this

710
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 4: started because you were a tycoon in that field.

711
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 3: But why cannabis.

712
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I was doing real estate. I'm really good

713
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 5: at real estate. I just lost any passion for doing it.

714
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 3: Sure, and I know the feeling, but you keep doing.

715
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 5: It because well, I'm good at it right. Kind of

716
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 5: like I had a neighbor that played in the NBA

717
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 5: greg Oaster Tag. A lot of people would fault that

718
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 5: he didn't put more heart into it. The man loved

719
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 5: to fish. He didn't love to play basketball, but you

720
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 5: could pay me seven million a year, I'm gonna go

721
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 5: play basketball so I can fish the rest of my life.

722
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 5: So that's what I was kind of getting with real estate,

723
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 5: and so I was I was like, man, I wish

724
00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 5: I'd gotten involved in the Internet in THEOL days. I

725
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 5: wish I got an internet marketing in the early two thousands.

726
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 5: And then I started, I wonder what out there is

727
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 5: like in the beginning to where you can get in business,

728
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 5: grow a huge business, and then be like Sean Parker

729
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 5: the rest of your life and just try to pick winners,

730
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 5: put some money in it, advise people. But you got

731
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 5: to get in and learn the industry. Now. I was

732
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 5: naive at the time, and I wasn't and I was like,

733
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 5: I thought, oh, cannabis, but I don't know anything about it.

734
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 5: And then I got a weird call.

735
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 2: He didn't really have a relationship with it until you're

736
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 2: after forty obviously get no relationship.

737
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, didn't know what I didn't know. So I got

738
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 5: a call and it went like this, and this is

739
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 5: a guy who played football at BYU and he said, hey,

740
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 5: I met him at Manwealth and Laguna Beach with Setemanali

741
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 5: and we got talking business and he's like, hey, I've

742
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 5: got this business opportunity. I need a real estate guy.

743
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 5: Operator can come up. Look at it. It's in Humble

744
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 5: and it's with cannabis. Does that bother you? I'm like, no,

745
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 5: it's real estate.

746
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 3: Let's go. Let's go.

747
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 5: So I jumped on a plane the next day, land

748
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 5: in Oakland, drove up to Garberville and met a family

749
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,479
Speaker 5: up there that has an office right there on Main Street.

750
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 5: And they were growers. And it was awesome. I mean, like,

751
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 5: I go in the like we hang out at the

752
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 5: office and the grandfather just starts educating me on cannabis.

753
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 5: He's blowing my mind, like the medical side. I didn't

754
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 5: know any of this, right. And and when I say

755
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 5: they were there were a Mexican family from California, Like

756
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 5: they weren't from Mexico, right, you know, you know the

757
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 5: families that have been here forever, right, And generation after

758
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 5: generation up and humble, and the son was a coach

759
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 5: at the junior high basketball team. So I'm like, hey,

760
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 5: this guy's growing cannabis selling it. He's a junior high

761
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 5: basketball coach. Nobody cares what was going on here? Seems

762
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 5: so crazy to me. Yes, yeah, just to me, nobody

763
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 5: count exactly. So then they invite us over for dinner

764
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 5: and they cook up and there was three generations of

765
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 5: women in this kitchen cooking, and like, I mean, it

766
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 5: was an amazing dinner. And there was one hundred and

767
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 5: fifty plants on the dining room table growing under lights.

768
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 5: There was two thousand pounds in the guest bedroom. They

769
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 5: showed me. Now understand at this point, like I'd never

770
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 5: seen more than an ounce in my life, and so

771
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 5: I'm like, whoa, this is like right here on Main Street.

772
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 3: So then.

773
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 5: I remember their daughter was drivening a soccer ball, and

774
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 5: my daughters played college soccer. But they're driven a soccer

775
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,720
Speaker 5: ball around a dining room table, like, doesn't even notice

776
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 5: any cannabis plants there. The father, the grandfather's out by

777
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 5: the back porch smoking a big joint. They're watching the

778
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 5: Lakers game, and I'm like, this is the most normal

779
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 5: family in the world, and they're shrouded by cannabis. And

780
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 5: I'm like, I gotta figure this out. After talking to grandfather,

781
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 5: my wheels were spinning. The medical, the history of it,

782
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 5: what happened in the thirties, the Israeli papers. I've got

783
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 5: a lot of homework to do, so I go back

784
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 5: to Utah ready to do homework. I do a deep

785
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 5: dive and I find out there's a bunch of Mormon

786
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 5: families in Utah with massive medical problems, using cannabis and

787
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 5: trying to legalize it so they're not doing anything illegal

788
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 5: to actually help their children. One of them was a

789
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 5: family of four. They had the same disease the oldest daughter.

790
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 5: The second daughter was now falling apart at age fifteen,

791
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,720
Speaker 5: went from being a healthy child to a wheelchair, couldn't

792
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 5: go to school. The mom got desperate, got some cannabis,

793
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 5: drove to Vegas, got the cannabis, came back to Utah,

794
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 5: gave it to the daughter for two months. Two months later,

795
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 5: she's back in school, perfectly healthy. And you start going,

796
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 5: what the hell is going on here? And that just

797
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 5: flipped everything in my life. I want in this business.

798
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:33,760
Speaker 5: We've been lied to we've been we're holding back life.

799
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 5: There's cures out here, there's propaganda all day around this, right. Yeah.

800
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 5: So but then it turns out I'm the business guy.

801
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 5: This this great family up there had nothing legal. We

802
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 5: were gonna buy farms from the farmers. They were worth

803
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,439
Speaker 5: about three hundred thousand dollars. They needed fifty thousand dollars

804
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 5: to go legal. We'd lease it back to them. I'd

805
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 5: put the fifty thousand in. Once you did that, they're

806
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 5: supposedly worth a million. Problem is they had no way

807
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 5: to sell the cannabis because the co op didn't have

808
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 5: a license, and at the time, I didn't know enough

809
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 5: about cannabis. I'm like, oh, I'm not getting into a

810
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,720
Speaker 5: business where I can get in trouble like it's illegal.

811
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 5: Not going to do that. So went back to Utah

812
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 5: kind of goh, man, I gotta figure this out. I

813
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,439
Speaker 5: got I want in sure, don't even I just I'm

814
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 5: being pulled in. And then the guy called me back

815
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 5: and said, hey, I need a coo. I'll pay you

816
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 5: fifteen thousand a month, give you ten percent of the company.

817
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 5: You don't have to raise any money, you don't have

818
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 5: to put any in. I just need you to come

819
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 5: down here and run it Monday to Wednesday. You can

820
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 5: go home to your family in Utah every week.

821
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 3: Let's go.

822
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,959
Speaker 5: I'm in Boom So I'm in like three months, found

823
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 5: out the guy embezzled most of the investors' money.

824
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 3: I'm out.

825
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 5: I'm back in Utah and I'm sitting there. I'm watching

826
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 5: the show This is Us and there's.

827
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 3: Love that show by the way, NBC show.

828
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, so bad. Beth said, there's always a window, Randall.

829
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 5: We've always been able to find the window and go

830
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 5: through it and make this work. And my wife and

831
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 5: I looked at each other, were laying in bed watching

832
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 5: the show. I'm like, I'm going through this window. So

833
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 5: I went down and made everybody an offer they couldn't refuse.

834
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 5: We wrote an eight hundred thousand dollars check, bought out

835
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 5: all the investors, got rid of everybody involved. We made

836
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 5: a deal with the Carron owner. Brought me down there.

837
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 5: He's a little mad at me to this day. I said, bro,

838
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 5: He said, you're supposed to help me. I said, yeah,

839
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 5: I helped you. I kept you out of Jailah, that's

840
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 5: what that's what I did. If you're not grateful for that.

841
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 5: That's fine. So this is a crazy cannabis story because

842
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 5: I made him a deal. You come back with a

843
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 5: million dollars by December of this year, December eighteenth, you'll

844
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 5: be back in the business at thirty one percent and

845
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 5: we'll go. But you got to earn it now, and

846
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 5: you got to make it happen. Well, got arrested bringing

847
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 5: cannabis into Tonga and sat in a tongue in jail

848
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 5: for six months, and he was with.

849
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 3: The almost had that million.

850
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and by.

851
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 5: The time he got back to the United States, it

852
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,240
Speaker 5: was long past that date. And you know, my partners

853
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 5: are Kyle Turley, Carlos Hernandez who played for the Padres,

854
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 5: He's also a partner. He was the only partner from

855
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 5: that group that stayed on. And that's how I ended

856
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 5: up in cannabis.

857
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 3: Really. Yeah, I didn't know this story. That's great.

858
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, And is that did you buy the Bear Flag

859
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 4: Group or did you change the name and make that

860
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 4: something different.

861
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 5: I bought Bear Flag Group. The show Grow was the

862
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 5: original owner, yep. And then when they split up, the

863
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 5: c the CFO of that company got Ramona Cannabis as

864
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 5: his ten percent and then him and his partner made

865
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 5: a go of it, and then you know, they just

866
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 5: got the point they were worried about the moratorium. They

867
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 5: found a sucker me to buy it bang and you know,

868
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 5: there are a couple people even told me you were

869
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 5: crazy to buy that. And then when it went the

870
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 5: moratorium went away, then it became a genius, right.

871
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Allen. You know what's great though, is that

872
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 3: is that story? Bro?

873
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 5: I'm both.

874
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's a great story, by the way.

875
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 2: But I think the blessing behind it all is is that,

876
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 2: you know, I get it to meet people that know you,

877
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 2: that have worked with you, that love working with you

878
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 2: and your team. You know, you guys have a great

879
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 2: team of people around you, and it's just it's healthy.

880
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 2: You know, you guys have a great operation, and it's able.

881
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 2: You're able to see, you know that you're helping other people,

882
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 2: and I like it. I mean, I think there's a

883
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 2: lot of people out here that are struggling trying to

884
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 2: figure out how to and and unfortunately, I think some

885
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 2: of them have squandered off their money. Some of them

886
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 2: stop paying their investors, some of them stop paying their

887
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 2: their their retailers. They're you know, you you know, and

888
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,800
Speaker 2: we talk about this, we have that conversation. As a

889
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 2: dispensary owner, do you pay back the guys that you

890
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 2: know that they give you cannabis to? You know, of

891
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 2: course you do. If you have that good name. You know,

892
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 2: it goes a long way, and it's it's going to

893
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 2: separate the people that you know that are no longer

894
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 2: with us, you know, in this industry, and every year

895
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 2: there's new faces.

896
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 3: And I was like, well, how long are you going

897
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 3: to be here?

898
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 5: Well, you know, I just I looked at it last

899
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 5: night and right now, we've paid our investors over the

900
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 5: last twenty four months about seven hundred K. Yeah, and

901
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 5: I and we're profitable. And I think for a cannabis

902
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 5: company over the last two years that there's a lot

903
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,479
Speaker 5: of story. Yeah, to be profitable great, I'm most proud

904
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 5: about right now.

905
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.

906
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 2: And like I said, it's because it's the giving. It's

907
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 2: to taking care of the right people, it's to doing

908
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 2: the right thing.

909
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:12,399
Speaker 3: And the story of why he's in it.

910
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 4: It's like yours too, like very similar to yours of

911
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 4: your dad speaking to you about, you know, right before

912
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 4: he passes away, go make it legal mealho same kind

913
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 4: of deep roote of like why this is so good

914
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,439
Speaker 4: for so many people that are in this industry.

915
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 3: Don't get it twisted.

916
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 4: There's some businessmen out there that are I see x's

917
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:30,760
Speaker 4: and o's and I want to do this and execute

918
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 4: that way. Good luck, God bless hopefully. But when you

919
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 4: hear the passion like that and you see Greg who

920
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 4: goes back to Utah and figures out his own people,

921
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 4: because let's just face.

922
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 3: It, I'm sure that helped.

923
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 4: When you see the Mormon folk who were doing it

924
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 4: and it spoke to your mind and heart going my

925
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 4: people are using this. I need to get this out

926
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 4: to everyone because that had to hit home for you

927
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 4: because you're a strong.

928
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 5: Mormon hard the time. Yeah, and I'll take it full

929
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,200

956
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 5: a couple months go by and I didn't really talk

00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 5: to my dad about We called, we talked on the phone.

958
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,000

967
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 5: take it anymore. It's just gone. Which is the same story.

968
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 5: Kyle hasa think about this. I'm not a doctor, but

969
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 5: when you watch someone suffering like that and it just

970
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 5: your daughter, and this is you know, your Mormon father,

971
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 5: the same thing my Mormon mother in law, who if

972
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 5: you know anything about Mormon's my wife's father was a bishop,

973
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 5: a state president, He was a VP at New York Life.

974
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 5: He was a mission president for the Mormon Church, which

975
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 5: is now you're getting up in the high high echelons

976
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 5: in the Philippines. And he was a temple president in Hawaii,

977
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 5: and in New York City, his wife, my mother in law.

978
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 5: He's passed away. But my mother in law, she had

979
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 5: cancer in her jaw and she's alertic opioids. And you

980
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 5: want to talk about like opioids, this is the other fight.

981
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 5: I have a brother's heroin addict, and I wish he was.

982
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 5: I wish cannabis was his choice, you know, I wish

983
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 5: it was cannabis.

984
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 3: But is he still around your brother?

985
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, miraculously and he.

986
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 3: Still he's still a partying yeah. Yeah.

987
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 5: So no, coming back to all of that, you know,

988
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,839
Speaker 5: here's my Mormon mother in law walking around church going,

989
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 5: oh yeah, I take a cannabis picture every night to

990
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,879
Speaker 5: go to sleep since she had cancer put her right

991
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 5: to sleep. And you know who it took to give

992
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 5: it to her wasn't even my wife and I. It's

993
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 5: the nephew has all the face tattoos. He comes over

994
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 5: and goes, Grandma, we're not doing this anymore. You're taking

995
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 5: this and you're going to sleep tonight without pain. She

996
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,839
Speaker 5: took it and that was it. So the people like

997
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 5: we judge like this is the biggest lesson I've learned

998
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 5: from cannabis. It's like, better start listening to people. Don't

999
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 5: look like you, don't act like you, don't walk through

1000
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 5: the world like you. And I reached the point where

1001
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,799
Speaker 5: at the beginning, I'm like, I'm all for medical, and

1002
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 5: then I was like, I'm all for spiritual. Now I'm

1003
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 5: down to the recreational part. And that was the last

1004
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 5: hurdle for me. And I'm like, you, judgmental mother trucker,

1005
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 5: Stop judging people. Because some people go home at night

1006
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 5: and they need a glass of wine. Some people, you know,

1007
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,399
Speaker 5: are taking four ibuprofen. Some people they're taking a head

1008
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 5: of cannabis to get through whatever they got to get through.

1009
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 5: And for you to judge that just makes you a

1010
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 5: bad person. It's something you gotta work on. It's an

1011
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 5: unworkable behavior in your life. And so once I crossed

1012
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 5: all those hurdles, it's just been unleashed for me. Like

1013
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 5: this is a better solution than drinking alcohol to relax,

1014
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,320
Speaker 5: is a better solution than opioids, is a better solution

1015
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 5: than drug addiction. So like, you know, I got a

1016
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,439
Speaker 5: steps on and work on. My BI is amazing human being.

1017
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 5: But he's an alcoholic. Yeah, and you know he's sober

1018
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 5: right now. He's doing great he's doing his steps, he's

1019
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 5: working through it. But like, cannabis is so much better.

1020
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 5: And so that's been the best thing about cannabis for

1021
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 5: me in my life.

1022
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 4: You know, Greg, your story and everything. I appreciate the vulnerability,

1023
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,760
Speaker 4: the deep parts of everything. Hearing what you're all about

1024
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 4: and now for people to hear this is what Bear

1025
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 4: Flag group comes from is truly inspiring to me. Like

1026
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,399
Speaker 4: I had no clue of all this. I just thought

1027
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 4: you were the sexy model that I said at the

1028
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 4: beginning of the show that walks around here looking like

1029
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 4: this big sexy man of the beast that I'm like, wow, But.

1030
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 3: Dude, what a transition from.

1031
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 4: Now I have that serious agape love for you though

1032
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 4: like that it was just I loved you already and

1033
00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 4: so I'm like, oh, he's a cool dude. But that's

1034
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 4: story man of coming from the Mormon Church, like that,

1035
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 4: because there's so many people that come from different backgrounds,

1036
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,399
Speaker 4: and for you to be able to identify the judgmental

1037
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 4: parts of you and to look at your shortcomings and say,

1038
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 4: this was the last one of my judgmental for recreational use.

1039
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 4: There's so many people out there that are like that

1040
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 4: and for you to even admit that right now at

1041
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 4: the end is just it gives me chills, man, to

1042
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,839
Speaker 4: see what a man that you are and have are

1043
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:29,360
Speaker 4: so vulnerable to admit. Because that's the other part that

1044
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 4: I love about what your story it is is you know,

1045
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 4: I looked at it this way, and now I looked

1046
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 4: at it that way. And now we're going to do

1047
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 4: the high five and see when you started smoking and

1048
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 4: when it all happened. So question number one of the

1049
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 4: high five with the owner of the Bear Flag Group, Greg,

1050
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 4: how old are the first time you smoked cannabis and

1051
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 4: where did you get it from?

1052
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:47,399
Speaker 3: Mister Mormon smoke?

1053
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 5: You never have steel, I still haven't.

1054
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 3: Have you used it? CBD?

1055
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 5: Yes, okay, so the first time you use it first time?

1056
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 3: You don't hear this right now.

1057
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 5: I would call CBD Mormon cannabis. Yeah, it's not cannabis, right.

1058
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 4: But it still comes from the planet.

1059
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 3: But you just we're not gonna judge you.

1060
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 5: Working on it. But so I have a first time experience.

1061
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 5: I just I don't smoke, so I use cannabis, but

1062
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 5: I use edibles, tinctures, you know, patches. First time using it,

1063
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 5: first time I was with a gentleman at Hall of

1064
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 5: Flowers like three years ago, and I thought, this is

1065
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 5: the day I'm taking edible and he gave me a

1066
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 5: sativa and I popped it in my mouth and then

1067
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 5: we went on with the day, and then we went

1068
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 5: over I remember we were talking uh with someone over

1069
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 5: at Packwoods. We had a little meeting and he was

1070
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,320
Speaker 5: talking and all of a sudden, like I could just

1071
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 5: hear music like I never heard it before, and all

1072
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 5: of a sudden, my foot was topping and I'm tapping

1073
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 5: and I'm listening and I'm smiling, and the guy I

1074
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 5: wentz looking at me like, what the Heck's wrong with you?

1075
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 5: And I'm like and then all of a sudden, I

1076
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 5: this is what I thought my head. I would go,

1077
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 5: I'm a cross mice feet and I'm going to do

1078
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:57,879
Speaker 5: a dance span right I'm just gonna do a big

1079
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 5: old dance span right now, feeling it. And then right

00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 3: I can't wait. A multivie. We're it's just in there,

1124
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, it's it's part of the multi vitamin.

1125
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 2: And Greg, I'll tell you that the easiest one that

1126
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 2: I've I've learned is to just tell them, hey, you

1127
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:09,879
Speaker 2: know we're from the United States, and uh, you know

1128
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 2: they've they've made it medical for a reason.

1129
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, improve don't get it twisted.

1130
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 2: There's no way the United States we'll call the medicinal

1131
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 2: unless it really had a medicinal value, right, so you know,

1132
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 2: and and when you tell someone that, they're like, uh, oh, yeah,

1133
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 2: you know that ship. But you'll take it from viking In, right,

1134
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 2: but exactly. But then you know, you sit and you

1135
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 2: sit with them and say, you know, hey, maybe they've

1136
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 2: learned that viking In and oxy cotone are you know,

1137
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 2: aren't as you know, good as bottom line cats.

1138
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 3: I think that way. It's because my doctor gave it

1139
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 3: to him. Correct.

1140
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:47,720
Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's that it's it's the top behavior

1141
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:49,840
Speaker 4: and it's just a shame, but it's it's what it is.

1142
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:50,800
Speaker 3: And you got to understand it.

1143
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 2: Well, that's why when you teach him that though, and

1144
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 2: you say, hey, it's medicinal, hopefully.

1145
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 3: They and you know doctors, you know, so then they

1146
00:50:57,520 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 3: hit the walk away going up. And I do agree,

1147
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 3: I do.

1148
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:02,800
Speaker 2: I can't wait for the day that doctors are prescribing

1149
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,799
Speaker 2: it and it's within you know, our whole eCos in costco. Yeah,

1150
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 2: I just don't want them to alter it and change it,

1151
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 2: which they will.

1152
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:12,279
