So, Um, 52 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: they've really got spied from my mom, like we had 53 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: talked about. Um, it was a lot from her journey. Um, 54 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: just her precursor signs of breast cancer, and breast cancer 55 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: runs really strong in our family. So it was just 56 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: kind of me as an artist trying to bring away 57 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: to the world of how everybody could relate to cannabis 58 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: and like a fun, family oriented way. So this is 59 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 1: my approach on it, and this is you know, my 60 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 1: way of sending that message to the world. Dude, you 61 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: actually get them here live at the x BO. So 62 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: you're doing live paintings.

So 64 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: which one can we see it from here?

So that's the 67 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: part of the family. Usually I have six characters every Yeah, 68 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: everybody's a nug that. Everybody has their own um you know, 69 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: interpretation and their own connection to each nug in their 70 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: own way. Um. But it's like a fly, you know, 71 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: it's it's got its own little originality to it. I 72 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: see a whole like nug series TV show Toopia. Utopia 73 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: could be a fool on show that's animated.

Man. I mean, first of all, where did 97 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: you learn to to put such great work together? I'm 98 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: Alsolf taught out of high school, just like everybody else. 99 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: I feel like we all have a little bit of 100 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: artistic nous within us. And uh, I went from doodling 101 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: to UM. I got into fine art, which I was 102 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: doing just like a crylic on canvas when it wasn't 103 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: an octopia. And then about four or five years ago 104 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: I branched off and like I said, from the inspiration 105 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: from my mother, my mother, I got into doing the 106 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: um the Cannabis series, and uh, but yeah, within this, 107 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: it's just me progressing from one piece to the next. 108 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: So every piece that I'm doing, I'm teaching myself and 109 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: learning new things, and then um just applying that to 110 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 1: my next piece. And how did the whole thing come though? 111 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: Col like the characters and the way you do them, 112 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: because you put them at the beach at a sunset, 113 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,119 Speaker 1: and then you go to the website and of course 114 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: it has the wedding cake, the mac and cheese, the 115 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: jungle apples, the sticker packs. I mean, you've got all 116 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: these things that are dope. Like, how did that come 117 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: to you? I know you said you were inspired by 118 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: your mother's breast cancer. And your mother's a beautiful woman. 119 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: I'm glad she's everything's going great with her? Well, is 120 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: everything going good? Everything? Oh? That's wonderful. God bless her. 121 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: And she was a wonderful, very nice spirit and very 122 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: nice person. Um, but how did they Oh my god, 123 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do the characters. And not only that, what 124 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: I like about some of your stuff it's um like different, 125 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: not just a nugget looking at you and all smiley 126 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: or like turned away. Like this picture that you're working 127 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: on here that you've been doing on Counterculture Convention. It 128 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: literally makes me think of you ready for this a 129 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: picture I have with my wife at the beach looking out, 130 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: and I have a picture like this that we had 131 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: a photographer take that we printed out with the kids. 132 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. That goes before kids though. 133 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: But my point is, but what you know, but the 134 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: same concept. You're right, it's like real art that's like 135 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: just the bod characters there. So my point is, how 136 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 1: did you come up with these characters to do these 137 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: type of real life these but yet they're animated looking characters, 138 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like you do like both worlds. 139 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: It definitely took time, just time through me doing piece 140 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: by piece, and I learned how to really personalize them 141 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: to give that impression of making us feel like we 142 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: can really connect to them. So like on this one, 143 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: I have O. G. Cush and Wonder Woman and they're 144 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: kind of snuggled into each other and that gives you 145 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: that kind of warming feels and maybe think of me 146 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: and my wife right exactly, you know what I mean. 147 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. And it's so and what more 148 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: do you need to do to it? How long do 149 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: you sit there and work on a piece like you're 150 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: doing right now, like you said, you're working on this. 151 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: To me, it looks done, So I prefer them, I 152 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: think it. Do you mean? What are you gonna do? 153 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: Thank you so much? What me is my I feel 154 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: like I'm my hardest critic on my own critic, you know, 155 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: and your worst one. I'm sure you're like, OK, I 156 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: gotta do this. I gotta exactly exactly, thank you. But yeah, 157 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: I got one more character to add, and then when 158 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: to add the details in and kind of dress them 159 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: up how I do with the other characters that I 160 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: have done, and just kind of personalize them a little 161 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: bit more. But besides that, I think that's it for 162 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: the for the whole piece. I think that's pretty much 163 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: all I do.

Okay, yeah, Um, 167 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: like this piece in itself, it took me a couple 168 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: of hours coming into the event before I got here. 169 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: Um that piece over there, sorry, um and so quick? 170 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: Oh no, no, he's talking about the one that's on 171 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: the on the anyway, it's just and when you say 172 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: a couple of hours before you just were processing in 173 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 1: your head where you're going with.

So nug Topia, aren't you guys on Instagram? 280 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: It even gives you more when you have the three 281 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: D glasses. And we haven't explained that to the listeners yet, 282 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,959 Speaker 1: but how do you even paint three D? Because I 283 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: feel like it's only something that printed or is it 284 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 1: a print that you do? How do you get that 285 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 1: three D effect for octopia? So it's a lot of 286 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: the colors that I'm using. Um, the three D effect 287 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: of course was like you know, came up with back 288 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:11,599 Speaker 1: in the day with the red and blue kind of 289 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: glasses and now that's just incorporated into the colors I'm using. 290 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: So it's the contrast within my paint. It's the reds 291 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: and blues, the highlights that I'm using that are separating 292 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: when you're creating that as a as you're drawing that 293 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: exactly as I'm putting dimension in that depth that you're 294 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: talking about within the nugs to give them that structure 295 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: that's kind of what's separating it, and then then kind 296 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: of see them without it. But when you put the 297 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: glasses on, and that's one of the more unique things 298 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: about your artwork, that piece that you're doing right now 299 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: that you've been starting here for twenty plus hours, Will 300 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: that have that same effect if they? Probably Yeah, especially 301 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: with that sunsets like Sherbert kind of clouds. And it's 302 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: funny because I think that's the difference I think that 303 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: we keep seeing here at least I do I see 304 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: depth perception when I'm looking at your pictures. And I 305 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: forgot because you guys forgot to tell me about the glasses, 306 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: because you didn't bring any glasses up here for us 307 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: to look at them like that. We didn't. But thank 308 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: you Noddy If for bringing it up. So that's good. Observation, 309 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: a great team work. And where the glasses at? Yeah? 310 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: Where where do you guys get the glasses when you 311 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: buy a painting? How does that work? They might be 312 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: on the back of the print, so they are so 313 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: pair of glasses. Yeah, they get a pair of glasses. 314 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: So you can enjoy it when you're at your house. 315 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: It's a conversation piece everybody can enjoy in the family. 316 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: Um and some people get their own view on it. 317 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: Some people see it more than others, just depending what 318 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: your eyesights looking like.

I go, oh, that 332 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: looks like an elevator. Oh that looks like a castle. 333 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: And we just start and we start using our imagination. 334 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: So I do that with my six year old in 335 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: his room. And it's hope that I feel like I'm 336 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: doing that with your artwork as well, that you can 337 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: see it and look at it, and like, right now, 338 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: the piece that you're working on, I'm looking at them. 339 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: What are they thinking of?

What's written on the 354 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: chalkboard there? Um, that is the cannabis molecule. Yeah, I 355 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: couldn't see if that was a signature or something because 356 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: it was a side and look at that.

And that's sunset Sherbet. So that's part 363 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: of my Florida series. I've done a couple of Florida 364 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: pieces here lately, and it's like the nice sunset with 365 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: the palm trees and hammock lounge. Back to me, when 366 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: I look at that piece, it looks like it just 367 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: takes a long time because it's so much detail in there, 368 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: with the sunset on the top, the sunset on the 369 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: bottom of the water, in the middle of the grass 370 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: on the bottom of the palm trees, the sand that 371 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: this is nut. How long does something like that take? Um, 372 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 1: that one took a little bit more time. It's a 373 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: lot of overlaying. So I'm starting with my background and 374 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: working towards my foreground. But same probably around fifty to 375 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,479 Speaker 1: a hundred hours. And same with the big guy over 376 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: the wall over there, he's a hundred hours plus. That 377 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: one's mine. I mean that that just to me. I 378 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 1: have a picture that, um, you know, it's it looks 379 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: very similar. It's got like these these tree and there's 380 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 1: a man inside. It's just a silhouette of the man 381 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: inside of all the trees. It's like bamboo and stuffy that. 382 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 1: But it just reminds me of such a beautiful thing. 383 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: And I haven't really actually got close enough to look 384 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 1: at everything else, but I could see from here like 385 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: that thing is beautiful. Man, you were very talented, my friend, 386 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you so much. And you know what's 387 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: funny and blue?

But don't forget that 411 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: I saw some I want to get to something else. 412 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 1: So as I think about your artwork and Cole, when 413 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: you became this artist. What was the first piece that 414 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: you sold? How did it make you feel when you 415 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: sold it? Oh Man, Um, Shoot, when I look back 416 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: on it, I think the first piece that I sold 417 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: was it was actually for an auction and I did 418 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: it for cann of Moms, which is a group in Florida. 419 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 1: It's a group of moms I get together UM any 420 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: of their kids or family that have experienced anything that's 421 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 1: to do in the cannabis industry of medical bills and whatnot. 422 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: So anyways, we put a big fundraiser together and UM 423 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 1: I donated or auctioned off a painting and I think 424 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: it was able to get up to around like eight 425 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: thousand and I did um proceeds to Cannon Moms to 426 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: just help out with funding any medical bills and whatnot. 427 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 1: And that was that was our introduction to the industry, 428 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: into the canvas industry in Florida. And since then we 429 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: partner with Cannon Moms and worked with them, and to 430 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: this day we get back and try to help out 431 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: in any way that we can. So you know, I 432 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: didn't expect your first piece to be such a great story. 433 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: That story just touches my heart because now you sold 434 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 1: your first piece, and you get to read that feeling 435 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 1: that you never can get away because that eight grant 436 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 1: that you would have made off it, you could have 437 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: blown it. That's right, one place, that feeling that you 438 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: have is gonna last a lifetime and be way more 439 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,719 Speaker 1: worth eight thousand dollars. Yeah, you know what I mean. 440 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 1: So that's a wonderful story and continue to do those 441 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: type of things.

But nowadays I definitely have a 497 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: lot of their opinion or just you know, um, ideas 498 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 1: incorporate into because I believe that's how it should be. 499 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: You mean you're growing up. Yeah, I'm growing up, that's right, 500 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,959 Speaker 1: I'm moving up a little bit. That's all right. I'm listening. Um, 501 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: it's all about working together, you know, it's all about 502 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 1: collaborating and working together to to build a bigger pictures. 503 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: So you know, it's I'm gonna share this with you 504 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 1: because I I come my families in this industry as well. 505 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: And um, it's difficult hearing it from your family versus 506 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: hearing it from a stranger. And it sounds crazy because 507 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 1: you think the first person you're really gonna listen to 508 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: is your family, like right, because you're like, why am 509 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: I listening to my family? But and you don't realize 510 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 1: until you're like, you know, forty, and you're like, oh shoot, 511 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: I should have been listening to my family first. And 512 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: the you know, and the way I explain that to people, 513 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 1: and in a layman's term is like, you know, if 514 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna teach your kids about drugs, right, do them 515 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: with them? Do it with them? Not no, no, but 516 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: really do them like we're together, no, no, no touch. 517 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: A point behind that is that you know, if you're 518 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 1: gonna teach a young kid about drugs, or if you 519 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: don't teach them, little Johnny on the block will and 520 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: he'll listen to little Johnny and and then little Johnny 521 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: ain't gonna teach him the right thing. You know, Little 522 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: Johnny like that's a good thing to try. Let's do fuckingness. 523 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: Whereas like, and you start to have that feeling with 524 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 1: your family. My dad needs to tell me all the time, 525 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: just go down to get a license. I'm like, it's 526 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: not that easy, dude, well you know, and I just 527 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: fight him, and then, you know, on his damn deathbed, 528 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna go get down 529 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: there and see if I can get a license. And 530 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: I went back and forth and back and forth, and 531 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: then you know, and then boom, I got a license, 532 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: you know, and it was like that wasn't even that hard. 533 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: But I just I listened to everybody else about how 534 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 1: it wasn't so hard to do and this and that, 535 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: and I didn't even try it because I just thought 536 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: that it was so hard. So I cited myself, been 537 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: telling me go down there and get it. Get up, 538 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: and they're like, it's not that easy. You don't know, 539 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: defensive and the and the concept behind that is is that, 540 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: like you know, I used one other examples. One of 541 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: our guys. You know, he's been talking about Rick Ross 542 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: cash in our office.

You know? Um, I would 749 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 1: probably say Lake Tahoe at the top of the Heavenly 750 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 1: Mountain was one of the most beautiful places.
