82
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: a crazy story, crazy life, crazy life and born in Riverside, California.

83
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: I graduated from Woodcrest Christian two years early as a

84
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: sophomore praiser. Lord moved to Indianapolis at sixteen years old

85
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: to become a race car driver. Was told no about

86
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: a lot of things and figured out how to make

87
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: that no into a yes. Hell yeah, Yeah, just crazy life.

88
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: How does one even get into race car driving being

89
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: from the ie, being a Christian boy like that? I mean,

90
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: that's how does it happen? Yeah? At the time, my

91
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: dad didn't own his own company, and he had a

92
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: boss that let us kids come race for him. Ended

93
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: up winning seventy four of eighty six goat car races

94
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: and said, hey, let's go racing back East. They can

95
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: race four nights a week. I went back racing four

96
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: nights a week, and you know, it was told no

97
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: by Toyota. I walked into Toyota's race shop and they

98
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,679
Speaker 1: told me no, we can't. You know, we don't develop drivers.

99
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: We buy them. Three years later, they hired me from ours.

100
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: Yeah that Liberty Village, Don Fike's race team, and I

101
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: end up going back to Don Fike and winning him

102
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 1: six national titles. I quit him and went back to

103
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: Ford and got signed on by Great Clips and they're

104
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: out of Minneapolis haircut company, and they took me through

105
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: my career. Wow, it's amazing. You know, It's funny is

106
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: lately this has just been an analogy that I use

107
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: and I tell people, you know, stand your path right like,

108
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: and I said, because a race car driver will be

109
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 1: going around a corner in one hundred and forty hundred

110
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: and fifty miles an hour and if they look, you know,

111
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: anywhere off of their path, there could be catastrophic death. Right.

112
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: You can't like take that second and go like what's

113
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: over there? You only have that split second. So you know,

114
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: it's funny that you come in and you're you're sharing

115
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: this story with this because you know, I M I

116
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: may have heard it before, but it really resonated with

117
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: me today, you know. And I know you guys um

118
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: you know, have a deep you know um conversation to

119
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: go into. But I don't want to dive into that

120
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: yet I want to go back further and say, you know,

121
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: like what's what who who? Who are you? And what's

122
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 1: like what's your favorite movie? Like you know, who are you?

123
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: As a you know, a young kid growing up, you know,

124
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: before the race car driver, like you know, you know,

125
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: tell us about that. Yeah, young kid growing up. I

126
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: just went to Woodcrest School, you know, played a little soccer. Um.

127
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,679
Speaker 1: At eleven years old, I really got into the racing world.

128
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: So that was it were a race car driver. Since

129
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: you're a kid then, yeah, so I knew nothing. They

130
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: molded were They kicked me out at UM. I you know,

131
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: we went and got down. We went and got fake

132
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: driver's license and birth certificates, and I raced an older class.

133
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't feel like it would be cheating

134
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: to go race a six and eighteen year old class

135
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 1: being fifteen where it would be. I think it would

136
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: be cheating if you race eighteen going down to the

137
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: fifteen year old class. Sure, so they end up kicking

138
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: me out. I was leading the points and insurance someone

139
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: turned us into insurance. They kicked me out of racing. Um,

140
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: So I went and played soccer for a little bit,

141
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: and then when I got of age, went back, came back. Yeah,

142
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: so you snuck your way in, We snuck our way.

143
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: You win while you were at that age. Yeah when

144
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: when in the nationals and at fifteen supposed to be

145
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: eighteen to race fifteen years old, it was about one

146
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty six mile an hour. That's great at

147
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: fteen And how do you how do you get that?

148
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: You know that craziness? Yeah? Who who? Who? Where do

149
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: you get the balls? Yeah? Who taught you how to drive?

150
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: You know at eleven years old? You don't know any different, right,

151
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: And that that'll get into the story of the cannabis brand.

152
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: If we can educate people and help mold them at

153
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: a young age they don't know. Sure, Um so I

154
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: didn't know. I just knew. They gave me a car

155

183
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,160

184
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: the helicopter and rushing through the hospital. Wow. So yeah,

185
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: so you were out all the way from the vehicle

186
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: to the helicopter and then you woke up in the

187
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: helicopter or landing. You're saying, so I was awake getting

188
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: into the helicopter. I just don't remember it. The last

189
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: thing I remember from the head injury, I had bleeding

190
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: on the brain, broken ridge, collapsed a long. Last thing

191
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: I remember was the helicopter landing and going through the hospital. Wow.

192
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: It's a crazy sport. Like you know, you may think

193
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: you know football player this and that, rugby, you know,

194
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: motorcycle is actually really crazy too, But when you're driving

195
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: in one of these cars that pass one hundred miles

196
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: an hour, I mean it's a different ball game. Yeah,

197
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: I mean, the racing world's a whole different world. And

198
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: for the first ten years I loved it, you know,

199
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 1: but there's a part people like why did you retire young?

200
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: Why did you leave the racing world? When you're traveling

201
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: on an airplane four days a week, and when you're

202
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: living out of a different hotel and packing that you know,

203
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: going to that lawn, dream out all the time. You know,

204
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: it gets old after a while, but you get to

205
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: meet a lot of great people, and you get to

206
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: learn a lot of things in life and how to

207
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: treat people right, and you know, you get to see

208
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: a lot of different things in the world being a

209
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: race car driver. I'm sure you do. Man. That was

210
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: a great story right there, and chasing what about you?

211
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: Are you from the ie as well? Or where you from? No,

212
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: Hunting to Beach. I'm pretty much Beach most of my life.

213
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 1: And then I recently moved along Beach like four or

214
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: five years ago. Just been in hunt to Beach my

215
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: whole life. Wanted to try something, you know, a little new.

216
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: Actually wanted a little city living, and so I was like,

217
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: let me go to ten miles down the road, like

218
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: not too far, but it's a little different. Maybe moved

219
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: to downtown LA or something for a year or something

220
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: like that, I was thinking. And then I just went

221
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: to downtown Long Beach. So that's where I'm at now.

222
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,760

Speaker 1: would you start doing? You went to college? But what else? Uh? Yeah, yeah,

236
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: I went to college for a little bit and then um,

237
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: I lost my funding for college, and so I had

238
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: a kind of all set and then right at the semester,

239
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: I kind of had a falling out with my with

240
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: my mom. Actually we're cool, don't worry, but at the

241
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: time it was uh so I kind of had to

242
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: go out on on my own, and so um, I

243
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: started to Um, I just went out and you know,

244
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: I got a job, and then got a couple of jobs,

245
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: and then so I just um, I worked for a stockbroker.

246
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: I was assistant to a stockbroker, and then I got

247
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: a selling cell phones. Yeah, because my buddy was doing it,

248
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 1: and yeah, he told me how much he was making

249
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: selling cell phones. I'm like, really, yeah, I guess commission

250
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: is great. And so I started doing both and then, um,

251
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: at some point I was doing I was the assistant

252
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: to the stockbroker, and then I was I was pretty

253
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: much doing everything, and I'm like, I feel like I

254
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: could be a stockbroker. And then so I took the

255
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: test and I became a stockbroker at twenty years old

256
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: or twenty one. Wow. Yeah and um, and so that

257
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: kind of like school didn't mean that much to me

258
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: anymore because I was taking classes here and there and um,

259
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: and so I just did that. But then my you know,

260
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: my cell phone career what was blooming as well. So

261
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: I did like a dual career for I don't know,

262
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: my entire twenties and um, so both went really well.

263
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: And then that turned into the cell phone turned into

264
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: have starting some cell phone companies, and then that turned

265
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: into um, we actually had some shops around here, and

266
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: then me and my partners we sold off one of

267
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: those companies. And then one of my partners was like,

268
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: we should start a wheat store and I'm like, yeah,

269
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: like that's a good idea. How the heck can we

270
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: do that? Yeah? And so then we, uh we did that.

271
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: We actually opened our first one in two thousand and

272
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: nine in uh called three point six Collective and Garden Grove. Yeah,

273
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: and um we did that and uh yeah, that kind

274
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: of started the cannabis journey anyway, and they still did

275
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: a bunch of things along the way. But was that

276
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: three point six because you were giving them a little

277
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: bit Yeah, give them a little bit more. You're gonna

278
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: get a little bit extra up. So so you know,

279
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: and how do you two actually meet each other? Because

280
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: you guys both owned dispensaries but different companies. Right, you're

281
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: not affiliated there. But but now you guys came together.

282
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: How did you guys meet? So I had um still do,

283
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,719

Speaker 1: it's an addiction center. They can come and they can

308
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: um stay there and kind of you get off what

309
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: they're yeah, and then they then they can go to

310
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: you know, one of the houses and they can um

311
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: you just continual rehab and then once they're out of

312
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: those facilities, then they can go to UM the our

313
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: facility down Oceanside where they just come for like six

314
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: hours a day. And so we just tried to really

315
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: wean them off what they're doing and then you know,

316
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: just you know, get better. Fentanyl's the real deal and

317
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: it killed oh man, it's more than a hundred thousand

318
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: people last year and and like that's uh, well, I

319
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: think the actual statistic is the one I know. Anyways,

320
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, there was over one hundred thousand

321
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: people that died from um, you know, opilids, opioids and

322
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: odine and two thirds of that fentanyl. Wow. And so

323
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: that's uh, it kind of came out of nowhere and

324
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: so um that that's when he brought that up. That's

325
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: kind of where we we were talking about cannabis and

326
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: you know, like as as one does, and uh and

327
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: then it just kind of like turned into that and

328
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: then he was like, yeah, I'm doing this this foundation.

329
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: This is like where my heart's at. And I'm like, well,

330
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: that's funny because this is what we're doing and and

331
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: we we just said yeah, and so funny how that

332
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: stuff happens like that, go ahead, continue, Oh, yeah, and

333
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: that's just kind of how we connected. And then he

334
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: came down and saw the facilities and um, it really

335
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: like I kind of fit like a glove, Like there

336
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: really was every everything he was doing, just even on

337
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: the you know, professional level, in the business level. I

338
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: was like, oh, I see what you're doing. This is

339
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: this is good. And then you see where he's going.

340
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: I'm a big believer in Hey, you like, especially in cannabis,

341
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: like you need to pick your allies, and you got

342
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: to pick your allies and then work with them and

343
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: one hand washed the other and then uh, it just

344
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: has grown into something else. And it's been really smooth

345
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: and seamless, like everything, Like everything we talked about. He's like, hey, yeah,

346
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: what do you think about this? Yeah, that's good. And

347
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, do you guys do that? Oh yeah,

348
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: no problem. And so that's now it's been seeing a

349
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: lot and having a lot of relationships in cannabis. It's

350
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: it's been refreshing actually to me to meet him and

351
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: see what he's doing. It's more than just the business

352
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: of cannabis, and uh, that really resonates with me. You know.

368
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: been saying has been awesome. I just want to put

369
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: out my personal like if there's anything I could ever do,

370
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 1: I've been sober twenty four years, complete absinence, like I

371
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: rocked the whole program, Chip on me like this all

372
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: day every day or you know what I mean? So

373
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I hosted Cannabis Show, but I used cannabis

374
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: only for medicine. You're not going to see me smoking

375
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: a joint. I've yet to smoke a joint twenty four years.

376
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: But I've used cannabis for healing me, you know what

377
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: I mean. I've drank it when I was taken the

378
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: opioids and all this other stuff because I didn't want

379
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: to fall into that position. I've been sober so long

380
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,959
Speaker 1: that I've seen so many men and women go out

381
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 1: and hit loaded and died and because of oakwoods right

382
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: from surgeries. And I had an ankle surgery. So I

383
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: actually went from using the opioids to using more cannabis.

384
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: And it was a big decision that I had to make.

385
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,239
Speaker 1: That was an internal one that was hard for me,

386
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: but I did it, and now I'm off the cannabis

387
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: like that. I mean, I still use the rubs, the

388
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: oils and the CBDs, and I would believe in the

389
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: plant wholeheartedly. But if there's anything I could ever do

390
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: to help out with your guys's facility, you know too,

391
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: I want to, you know, share my experience, strength and

392
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: hope with that folks. Oh yeah, I actually we would

393
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: love to have you come down because we have people

394
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: would just come talk and share there you know you'd

395
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: be an inspiration to people. Yeah, you know, people are

396
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,239
Speaker 1: in I go to meetings all the time. I mean,

397
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: I get it. So it's like, you know, I'm part

398
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: of the program. I go to online ones, I go

399
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 1: to in person ones. I just at my men's dad

400
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: last night and dinner point. I mean, I mean I

401
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: go to a Tuesday night Men's one and make my

402
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: two three calls a day to to other people that

403
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 1: are active. Yeah, right, like like I'm active in the program. Really.

404
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 1: Like I'll be out to stop my seat in a

405
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: meeting listening to a media and he's like, walks up.

406
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, I'm on an online meeting, right yeah,

407
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 1: I mean, and I'm all looking there. He's like, try

408
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: to screw around, and I started seeing people. I'm like

409
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: that dude, just to me being this meet talking a minute,

410
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 1: I'm almost done. It's super cool to hear that you've

411
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: been sober for twenty four years. It's inspirational for others. Um,

412
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: you know, we don't know what other people are feeling inside.

413
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: As a race car driver, when there's that big crowd

414
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 1: and you win that race and you feel the fan base,

415
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: it's adrenaline that you know, I'll never get to feel

416
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: again since I've retired, and to not know what someone felt,

417
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: you know, because I've never tried a drug that gave

418
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: you that sensation like that, and um, you don't know

419
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: what they're feeling inside, right, so maybe they're chasing that

420
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 1: feeling and just can't stop chasing that feeling up. Drivers

421
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: quite frankly probably go through that as well. I mean,

422
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: you know, you have to think about the the dopamine

423
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: levels of you know, you coming out and people screaming

424
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: and you're just sitting there going whoom, and you get

425
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 1: so high and then you're you know, it's a drug itself,

426
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: you know. So you're exactly right. I think that there's

427
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: there's a really understandable relation because you had to step

428
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: away from that and then now you know, um, you've

429
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: had such a huge loss in your life and you're

430
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: giving back, you know, so you know, how did this

431
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: obviously probably from the death of your brother, but the

432
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: development of it all and what's your guys just plan

433
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: and roll out to actually, you know, help more people. Yeah,

434
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: So the brand came. I started a brand called Jimmy's

435
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: at first, you know, and then I switched it to

436
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: the fight so that we can help fight opioids and

437
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: fetnol and give back to the world of that. So

438
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: we you know, we've went to Corona. We helped build

439
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: a Walk of Life in Santana Park and there's some

440
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: park benches that all have inspirational things on it for

441
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: letting people know there are people here that care about

442
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: it's beautiful and we're here for you. We've also partnered

443
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: with Billy that's also brought us some aqua hydrate that

444
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: we drank on break. You know, Billy's helped us get

445
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: into the stadiums and we've been helped bringing kids to

446
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: throw the first pitch at Lake Elsinore Storm Stadium. Uh,

447
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 1: just educating them that you're probably gonna like the drug.

448
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 1: My brother used to say, Man, I wish I never

449
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: tried it. You're probably gonna like it. It's gonna ruin

450
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: your life, it's gonna ruin your family's life, it's gonna

451
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: ruin everybody's life around you. So let's it's okay not

452
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: to try it. Sure, Um, you know, go pick up

453
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 1: some cannabis that has a CoA that that you know

454
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: what you're smoking in and been tested and pick up

455
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: the legal drugs, you know, pick up the legal cannabis

456
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: and and try that versus trying something you don't know

457
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: what's in it. And to be fair, you never know,

458
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: this might not be for you too. The cannabis might

459
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: not be the right thing for the kid or the

460
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: woman or the adults. Because you know, I'm a firm

461
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 1: believer in cannabis isn't for everyone. You know, maybe taking

462
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 1: it in your system is like CBD is for everyone,

463
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: and by believe that wholeheartedly, because that's just some good

464
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 1: stuff for the inside of your body. But you know,

465
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: as you say that, I just want to be clear,

466
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: I'm on the way I look at it as well,

467
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: saying you know, you know, try to moderation, because sometimes

468
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,959
Speaker 1: you might smoke something you're just like something, and I

469
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 1: think I think, you know, you don't have to get

470
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: high with anything because you're of popularity. I think people

471
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: think it's cool sometimes or they see other people doing

472
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: it and maybe it's that cool guy that has the

473
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 1: chicks or whatever, and and and they're not realizing or

474
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: that cool chick that's super hot that really is a

475
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: hot mess, you know, because and it doesn't feel or

476
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: seem like that at that moment, you know, because I

477
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: think there's a especially for younger kids, you know what

478
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Like when they're growing up, we're all in

479
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: high school, we're all kind of like, oh, he's cool

480
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: or that's the cool crowd, and then next thing you know,

481
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: they're doing these things. So it's really influenceable to all

482
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: of us. And so I think that you guys are

483
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 1: on something. Now, did you guys create this product? And

484

Speaker 1: stores now? And then you're you guys are putting in

486
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 1: the stores together, and how does that correlation go? Yeah,

00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: this at our studio here, not at the last last location.

548
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: Is that what it is about? Okay, maybe I know,

549
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: but you were telling me we hung out on Super Bowl,

550
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,560

554
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: and he's given me the same vibe back, So I

555
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 1: didn't feel so weird about it. The culture of cannabis

556
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: brings some really good people together. Yeah. You know, my

557

00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: away and Matt comes walking in to the funeral, and

561
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: so afterwards I talked to him and I'm like, man,

562
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: I need I really need a grower, Like do you

563
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: what do you do? And come to find out Matt

564
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,320

00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: And the cannabis world just brings the right people back together.

569
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: The cultural cannabis is unbelievable. It really is. Man, it's

570
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: good when we have these stories. Let's just face it.

571
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: There's the other ones. But when you hear stuff like

572
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: this and you hear the spiritual ones like that, I

573
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: believe it is a spiritual plant. I believe it's all

574
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: meant to be like that. And even YouTube guys coming

579
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: it twisted. But then you're about making other organizations and

00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: other foundations that are out there to try to serve

581
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: the community. I mean, you guys are putting spiritual words

582
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: on park benches for anybody to see an old lady

583
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: for God's sakes, who may need that word for the day,

00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: to be fatal. You know, it could be fatal instant.

613
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: And that's what happened to my brother and Nelson. So

614
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: what people can do for us is pass that message

615
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: to the kids. You know, you don't have to come

616

Speaker 1: big like you guys with that many stores, especially nowadays

738
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: when you look at the amount of companies that own

739
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: x amount of brands, like you know, the medmen so

740
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: to speak. Right, so, I mean you about to go

741
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 1: thirty you're you're right there, You're you're a big, big operator.

742
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: I mean they're nationwide, but yeah, we'll be one of

743
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: the largest in California for sure. Yeah, there's a couple

744
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 1: other players that are that are winning in a bunch

745
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: of licenses and um, like we have a good team

746
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: that's good at that, so we win a lot of licenses,

747
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: and um, you know, we do what we say and like,

748
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: you know, we weren't run a good business and that

749
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: kind of goes it seems to go a little further

750
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: in cannabis these days. So um, well, I'll say there's

751
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: a lot of bad actors in the industry, you know,

752
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: and people don't you know, get to go. I don't

753
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: believe they go as far and they go fast and

754
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: then they crash right because they don't have the um.

755
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to say that they're just the honesty.

756
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: I think. I think there's a you know, a lot

757
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: of people came into this industry and they come from

758
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: the good old day or the illicit market or whatever

759
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,359
Speaker 1: you want to call it. And I think that they

760
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: you know, I watched a lot of people come in

761
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: and just huffing and puffing with all kinds of you know,

762
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: money behind them and this and that, and then they

763
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 1: just drained out their investors or they didn't know how

764
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 1: to run an operation or or take the time to

765
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: learn because we're all learning, you know, this industry. I mean,

766
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: the rules and regulations are changing, um that you know,

767
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: the taxes are you know, all screwed up. We know that,

768
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: I mean, but I don't think they you know, really

769
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: had to know how. And it's it's nice and refreshing

770
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: to see that you guys are still here in the

771
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: in the mix, doing your thing and and ever evolving,

772
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: you know. So I really take my hat off to

773
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: you guys for for doing that and being honest players

774
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: in the game and not being the bad actors, because again,

775
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 1: I feel like there's so many people that just last year,

776
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: and if I go back five years, it was so

777
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: many people that just had, you know, so much going

778
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: on that there's just nowhere to be found right now,

779
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: you know, and we know why a lot of them.

780
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: You know that a lot of them tanked their their

781
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: investors or they just didn't know how to run a

782
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,320
Speaker 1: business or whatever. But and some of them just failed

783
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 1: because of the you know, location, or you know, there's

784
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: a there's a million reasons. But you know, it's nice

785
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: to see you guys operating and doing a thing. And

786
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: it's really about the people you surround yourself with, sure it.

787
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: You know, For me, I got I wasn't in the

00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: one of them, but it was a lifetime of playing,

912
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 1: you know. Sure. Well, anyways, broke my neck second game

913
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 1: Aztecs against Illinois, had to recover. You know, I smoked

914
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: weed all through junior college. You know, it helped my

915
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: career in my opinion. You know, football is a very

916
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,280
Speaker 1: violent sport where you got to recover and I found

917
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 1: you know, cannabis helped me do that. As far as opiates,

918
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: you guys have touched on that a lot. I never

919
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: liked how that made me feel. You know, I kind

920
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: of lost, you know, a little bit of grip, you know,

921
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: with what made me special and what may be able

922
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: to play quarterback. Cannabis never did that for me. Bro.

923
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: That's great. And now you're sitting there working there at

924
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 1: the dispensary helping folks out with their elements. Yeah. Absolutely,

925
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 1: So it's been a great experience for me. You know,

926
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: God's abled me to be able to work at the

927
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: dispensary for two years where I've been able to talk

928
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: to a lot of people find out, you know, what

929
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 1: they're looking for. I mean, we're able to help a

930
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: lot of people, man, And like it sounds kind of

931
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: cliche trying to say it like that, but you know,

932
00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: I don't think it is at all, because I mean,

933
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: when you find out people who work there, who are

934
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: behind the counters and hearing your story, it's almost kind

935
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 1: of like what we're describing about what you have as

936
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 1: far as a healing center, right, So you guys have

937
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: people who've used this to heal themselves and now you're

938
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: sitting there using your experience, strength and hope to help

939
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: somebody else out. So, in my opinion, I don't look

940
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 1: at it that. I look at it like that's even

941
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,800
Speaker 1: better that guy's like you are behind the counter because

942
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 1: a you can relate to the athlete that comes in,

943
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 1: you can relate to the hurt person that comes in,

944
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 1: and you know, I mean, you can just really relate

945
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: to certain types of people where you know, oh, I

946
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: got this pain in my neck, You're like, fuck, let

947
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 1: me tell you about a pain in my neck. I

948
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 1: broke my neck. You know what I'm saying, Like, Oh,

949
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: I got this paint in my back, Well, let me

950
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 1: take about this paint in my neck that I had,

951
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: and this is what I did to treat it. So

952
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 1: it's amazing. I believe that that anecdotal evidence that you

953
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: supply internally is going to be evidence that's going to

954
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: help people in the future. So I think it's dope

955
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: to see it on an everyday basis. Man, it's really

956
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 1: cool to be a part of it. You know. It's

957
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 1: a plant that's helped me tremendously, you know, And dude,

958
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: I'm happy to be here. Well, I'm glad you're here.

959
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 1: Hopefully now one day Erica will come by and say

960
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 1: hi to you guys over there and come by and

961
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: do her thing. Keino said he's been there. Oh you've

962
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 1: been there, Chris. Do you like it over there too? Oh,

963
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: that's right, you went over there that time. That's right,

964
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 1: you went to go check it out. That's right. I

965
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: remember that. Good to see you, brother, No, thank you

966
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 1: for coming on with us. And then you're you got

967
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: so many different spots all over the place, which is

968
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 1: just funny. Chas him because I think about it and go,

969
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 1: you have at least eight stores open right now, but

970
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 1: what are some of the big ones that just kind

971
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 1: of pop off at the majority because I know I've

972
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 1: heard from different owners who have multiple stores. What's popping

973
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 1: in one spot isn't necessarily popping in the other. No. Yeah,

974
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: different cities have different things that catch your eye that

975
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 1: you notice the anomalies. One thing just in the industry overall,

976
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: I noticed is that young vapes have really overtaken flower now,

977
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 1: which is I didn't see that a year ago because

978
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 1: I like, I haven't always say a flower is king.

979
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: And then um, now we're just seeing we have to

980
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: extend bape cartridges in our stores because there's just so

981
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,959
Speaker 1: many selling. It's for obvious reasons, it's convenient and things

982
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 1: like that. But um, yeah, that's something that we noticed

983
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 1: in general. It's Dizzy's a big name. Plug Plays does

984
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: really well for us, too, Exotic carts does really well

985
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,839
Speaker 1: for us, and so, um, all of those are are

986
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: some of the biggest ones in that space. And then

987
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: like certain areas like I don't know why Marino Valley

988
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: extracts do so well, but they like as a percentage,

989
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 1: they extracts sell more in Marino Valleys. Really, That's what

990
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: I mean. Stuff like that is interesting to me. Like, Okay, Porterville,

991
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,320
Speaker 1: the same thing big extracts. We had to like we

992
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 1: just launched them a little over a month ago, and

993
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 1: we had to get more extracts, and we had to

994
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: get more brands because we're like, wow, they've you got

995
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 1: to give the people what they want. What I mean,

996
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 1: certain areas, they want certain things, And it's just funny

997
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: to me how that's the case. Yeah, so you yeah,

998
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: you just learned from like the nuance and really talking

999
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 1: to customers and even what he was saying there some

1000
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 1: of it, Like I would say about a third of

1001
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: the people are coming in for some type of relief

1002
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: and it's important to know what type of relief they

1003
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 1: can get and and things like that. But like all

1004
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 1: you have to do is be on the floor of

1005
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: a cannabis store and listen to a couple of stories. Yeah,

1006
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: and you go, wow, this this is really doing something

1007
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: for people Like you used to take you know, how

1008
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 1: many pills did you used to take? And now you

1009
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 1: just you don't smoke some cannabis. That's the part that

1010
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: always touches our heart here. I know, Blue and I

1011
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: we get touched by that so much. And that's really

1012
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 1: the reason why we do the show to like really

1013
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 1: spread that message. And show of like, dude, this is

1014
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: a real medicine and this helps so many people. And

1015
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, for your brother to be gone,

1016
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 1: your business partner be gone, you know, could it have

1017
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,359
Speaker 1: been something more if they were just using cannabis, could

1018
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 1: have been better. And now people want to screw around

1019
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 1: and put this ship in cannabis and make you know,

1020
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: cannabis a bad name, which is just even more ridiculous

1021
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: because now, oh, look what cannabis does, because some soccer

1022
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: mom or some soccer dad out there could be going, wow,

1023
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 1: see I read this story and he was smoking cannabis

1024
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 1: and it killed him. Yeah, but it was lace with

1025
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 1: Fenton Off folks, you know what I mean. It's not

1026
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: just this flower that we have yet to read that

1027
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 1: story or hear that story. We've heard somebody getting high

1028
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 1: that they may get anxiety or may have a panic attack. Yes,

1029
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,879
Speaker 1: that might happen, but for the most part, it's really

1030
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: helping with that panic attack and with that anxiety. So

1031
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 1: it's usually the opposite of what it is. A couple

1032
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 1: bad stories of idiots out there in the world that

1033
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 1: make it look bad. We like to do the high

1034
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 1: five with everybody that comes in here. And you guys

1035
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 1: are doing such great things. The Fight Foundation, you guys

1036
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: as a cannabis brand that you want to go see

1037
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 1: and minnot. If you're at a dispensary, tell them you

1038
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 1: got the Fight Foundation cannabis and your story requested out Yeah,

1039
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 1: requested out there, folks. That's the way it's going to

1040
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 1: happen in California to really get more signage out there

1041
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: for kids to see, because, like you heard, fifteen percent

1042
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 1: is going of this profit to go help communities out there,

1043
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: which is a beautiful thing you guys are doing. So

1044
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: I command keep doing it, and we're gonna keep promoting it.

1045
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: But we'll just go in the order of Darren and

1046
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: Chase him will ask the question. You guys will answer

1047
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 1: it in that order. Question number one, how old you

1048
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:12,360
Speaker 1: the first time you smoked cannabis? And where did you

1049
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 1: get it from? To be honest, it was actually two

1050
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 1: years ago. Really, So the first time I smoke cannabis

1051
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,800
Speaker 1: was thirty four years old and it was guys bringing

1052
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 1: in samples for us to put into our store. Wow.

1053
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 1: So so you're going to a store and like what

1054
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: made you decide? Now, Like, Okay, I'm thirty four, I'm

1055
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: gonna smoke it. Now. I figured if if we're going

1056
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 1: to carry it and we're gonna sell it and be

1057
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:37,280
Speaker 1: a part of a company that's carrying all these cannabis products,

1058
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try all the products and I'm gonna figure

1059
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: out what feelings they are so that I can educate

1060
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 1: when someone comes into the store. Also from flower to

1061
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: you know those heavy hitters gummies or they hit you

1062
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: so hard. But for me, you know, if I take

1063
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:52,800
Speaker 1: too many milligrams, it lasts way too long for me,

1064
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: I feel it the next day. So I wanted to

1065
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 1: try it and try those things so I could educate

1066
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 1: people if they don't. Yeah, yeah, it's interesting because a

1067
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 1: lot of people don't have that conversation with people. They

1068
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,800
Speaker 1: just sell it. That's negligence in my opinion. You know,

1069
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 1: you really got to tell someone that they haven't had

1070
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 1: an edible? Hey, you know, do you know about edibles?

1071
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 1: And because I've noticed sometimes people will eat them and

1072
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden they're just like, You're like

1073
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 1: what's wrong and they're like, uh, you know, it's like

1074
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,800
Speaker 1: you didn't know what you were taking? Did you super

1075
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: bad experience? Super bad? Like you know, you go snowboarding

1076
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: with your buddies, Like God, go with Jack, Holly, Robbie

1077
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 1: and everybody. You go snowboarding. And you know, I come

1078
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: in off the mountain and I go into the kitchen

1079
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: and they have all these edibles on the right side

1080
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 1: and on the left side there were some brownies and stuff.

1081
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: I was hungry, so I eat all these brownies. I

1082
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 1: had fifteen hundred milligrams. Next thing, you know, they're stuffing

1083
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 1: me under the bed, telling me you're gonna be okay,

1084
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: You're not gonna die. I kept asking them and ask

1085
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: them that's what I am. I gonna die. I'm not

1086
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 1: gonna die. Yeah. And it lasted three days. Yeah, you know,

1087
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 1: Like I mean, that's an extreme like for me, Like,

1088
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 1: you know, I know better, you know, because I've done

1089
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: it too. I've done the whole you know, sixty seventy

1090
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 1: one hundred milligrams. And I'm just like, what's going on,

1091
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 1: you know, And and everybodys laughing. I'm like, you're cool, bro,

1092
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, I'm not. This isn't cool. You know,

1093
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:09,319
Speaker 1: this is not cool. They're like you're relax, You're cool,

1094
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, I can get scary it can

1095
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:13,839
Speaker 1: get scary. And I think, you know, but I learned

1096
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 1: that if I take three or you know, seven milligrams,

1097
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 1: I'm cool. If I'm at ten, I'm cool, twelve and fifteen,

1098
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 1: I'm cool. If I start getting in thirty or forty

1099
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: or fifty, I start getting a little bit like, Okay,

1100
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit, you know, and I know it

1101
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 1: now a little bit how to control it? And I think,

1102
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 1: and it's not control it. I think someone said it

1103
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 1: best yesterday, said you're trying to control it. And he's like,

1104
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 1: when you get drunk, you know, and do you try

1105
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:37,919
Speaker 1: and control your high or you just enjoy the bus?

1106
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:40,839
Speaker 1: And I'm like, no, you don't. It's like you're trying

1107
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:43,280
Speaker 1: to control it. You know. It's to let just relax

1108
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: and let yourself relax, you know. And um, you know, ironically,

1109
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,320
Speaker 1: I I've you know, I've I've seen someone recently just

1110
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 1: do that. So they were just panicked out and I

1111
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 1: was just like, well, relaxed, dude, breathe don't forget everybody

1112
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 1: a little different. Ten milligrams is perfect for me. Yeah,

1113
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,279
Speaker 1: it's perfect. Yeah, I mean too, it's Jack just on

1114
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 1: the show. He needs like sixty Yeah, just just to

1115
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 1: even Yeah, that's just because he's fucking next about to

1116
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 1: fall off, still broke and what about Yeah, uh, I

1117
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 1: was twenty three and uh ate guys, I know, you

1118
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 1: know what it's funny. All my friends were smoking in

1119
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 1: high school and it's just something about like I was

1120
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 1: playing sports and so that I was just yeah, the

1121
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 1: quarterbacks not getting high. Huh he's not. But um uh

1122
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 1: so I was a late bloomer. And let's say, and then, um,

1123
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: you know I was. I was in Amsterdam at the

1124
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 1: Grasshopper of all places, and um, I was like, you know,

1125
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 1: if I'm in Amsterdam, let me get a little red

1126
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 1: light and a little light. Yeah, Like it was a

1127
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 1: it was a fun experience. So you know, you go

1128
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:55,799
Speaker 1: in the first time, like you go into a place

1129
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 1: that can legally sell cannabis. So it was like wow,

1130
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 1: I remember that distinctly, and I was like, wow, you

1131
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 1: could just do this and they'll tell you about it

1132
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: and you could buy and this is cool. You could

1133
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:05,839
Speaker 1: do this here. I could just sit by the river

1134
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: and and then I just passed out. But it was

1135
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,319
Speaker 1: I fell asleep head back just riding it like right

1136
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 1: along the river as well. How fun is that? What

1137
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 1: a great memory. Question number two of the high five,

1138
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:18,800
Speaker 1: what is your favorite way to use our smoke cannabis

1139
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,760
Speaker 1: for me? Edible forty five minutes before you go to sleep?

1140
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 1: Because I have a really hard time sleeping. A wild

1141
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 1: sleep edible or a heavy hitter's sleep edible forty five

1142
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:32,239
Speaker 1: minutes before you go to sleep, take it kicks in

1143
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 1: and I'm able to sleep all through the night. Nice. Nice?

1144
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 1: How many milligrams? Ten milligrams perfect for me? Anymore than that,

1145
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:40,399
Speaker 1: I get a little paranoid. Oh yeah, yeah, me too.

1146
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 1: If I start going higher. I'm right in there too.

1147
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 1: That's because I don't I don't you know ingest cannabis

1148
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 1: that often, and or nor do I smoke that much anymore.

1149
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 1: But you know, every I used to smoke in every day,

1150
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: and I'm sure my talents would have been a lot

1151
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 1: higher then. But you know, now I just gotta be.

1152
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:57,240
Speaker 1: You hear the ac kick on, you think, oh, shoot,

1153
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 1: someone's at my door? Who is that actually just a kick? Yeah? Yeah?

1154
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 1: What about you choose? Um? I've been getting into just

1155
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 1: because we've been testing a bunch of different gummies, but

1156
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: Rosin gummies just seemed to be my new jam. Really yeah,

1157
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 1: what's once? Um, well, we were testing them so we

1158
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 1: unbranded yet, but just they were a little ross and everything. Right,

1159
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 1: it's just making a big hit, just a stronger kick, right,

1160
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: just m this is kicking him good. It's funny. We

1161
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: just got some rosin pills and all kinds of rosin

1162
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:30,360
Speaker 1: this and that. I'm like, wow, okay, making a big splash.

00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 1: Question number three of the high five, where's the craziest

1171
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: I can imagine what about you. Ironically, it was the

1172
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:03,239
Speaker 1: second time that I consumed cannabis, and my buddy he

1179
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 1: where I was like, Okay, well, I'm definitely gonna partake

1180
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 1: in this event. And so it was like the whole ride,

Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, which I like. Yeah, that's a man.

1209
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 1: It has a white sauce in it, and that's why

1210
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 1: I like it. It's like the white sauce sauce. I

1211
00:57:58,200 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 1: didn't know it's a secret sauce. But now I gotta

1212
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 1: all right, No, you know, I'm gonna get my batty

1213
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 1: card back. Question number five of the High five. Gentlemen,

1214
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 1: It's been so great to have you guys on this show.

1215
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 1: But if you could smoke cannabis with anyone dead or live.

1216
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 1: Who would it be and why? Man? For sure, the

1217
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 1: guy that you smoked with twice. I think you smoked

1218
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 1: with Donald Trump twice. And dude, I was smoking him

1219
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 1: right now. If he was here, you can't. I guess

1220
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 1: I probably would just shut it out. Yeah, that's what

1221
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 1: who we'd been doing. You'd be like, yeah, let's smoke Trump. Um,

1222
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 1: that's a good one. You know. Tito Ortiz is a

1223
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 1: really cool guy from Huntington Beach. I ran into him

1224
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:38,560
Speaker 1: in Arizona and Scottsdale. You know, super cool guy. He'd

1225
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:40,840
Speaker 1: be fun to, you know, smoke a joint with and

1226
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 1: hear some of his stories and hear about some of

1227
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 1: his fights. He's ladies and gentlemen. Here is there is

1228
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 1: You're like, d Tito choked me out one time on

1229
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 1: the air of Power one oh six, and he knocked

1230
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:59,560
Speaker 1: your whole air out of me. Just him knocked him out.

1231
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:02,960
Speaker 1: Was awesome. Literally took me to the ko and then yeah,

1232
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 1: Tito and I go way back. Maybe I don't want

1233
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 1: to smoke with. No. They did it on purpose. It

1234
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:10,040
Speaker 1: was like, hey, look let's just do it on there

1235
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 1: right now. Let me just choke you out, you know,

1236
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 1: it was like, yeah, okay, every time we've been boys forever,

1237
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 1: I can hear him. I'm sure you are sure you

1238
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:19,080
Speaker 1: let him choke you out. You know, he wore the

1239
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:20,760
Speaker 1: power one of six logo and one of his big

1240
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 1: fans fight when one year. Good dude, what about you? Um?

1241
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 1: I think I would smoke with Winston Churchill? Nice? Yeah,

1242
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 1: why though? Because what he had to deal with and

1243
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 1: all the pressure and he was like the one man

1244
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:38,479
Speaker 1: that stood against you know, the Germans at the time,

1245
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:41,200
Speaker 1: and when he wasn't really getting help and France had

1246
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 1: just lost their country and he had to do something

1247
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:46,040
Speaker 1: to mellow out at that point, it would have been

1248
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 1: cool to just hear his stories, yeah, and just do it,

1249
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 1: do it with him. Are you a big history guy?

1250
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 1: A little bit? Yeah? That's dope because yeah, for people

1251
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 1: to say that that's a big history buff guy. Yeah yeah, yeah.

1252
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 1: You know, I got into a couple of history podcast

1253
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 1: asks and hardcore history is a great one. Anybody that's

1254
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 1: awesome and uh yeah, And so there's that kind of

1255
01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 1: got me down the road, and then I probably probably

1256
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 1: learned more from podcasts than school, for sure. Dude. It's

1257
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 1: funny when you go down the moneys of saying that, like,

1258
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 1: I listened to a couple of random one on the

1259
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 1: mind or mental health and this that I was doing

1260
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 1: some research on something, and before you know what, I'm

1261
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 1: listening to this podcast on mental health and it had

1262
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 1: the big actor, comedian, stand up guy short guys in

1263
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:34,240
Speaker 1: every Visa commercial too. Right now, Ken Kevin Hart comes

1264
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:37,280
Speaker 1: on this podcast is talking about mental health and he

1265
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 1: opens up about how, you know, man, I sometimes it's

1266
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:41,480
Speaker 1: hard for me to just try to achieve the next

1267
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 1: school and the next goal, and you know then I

1268
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 1: get insecure. It was just it was just amazing to hear.

1269
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 1: But my point is you go down these tunnels and

1270
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 1: you get learned so much about not only about the

1271
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 1: history of something, about what somebody's doing. Like people listening

1272
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:54,440
Speaker 1: to this now they know so much about what you're doing,

1273
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's just always interesting to

1274
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 1: learn more and do podcasts. Is there anything else that

1275
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:00,720
