This 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.000 is We're in a world I know so very little about, 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:34.920 very very little about there really no really today is 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.400 I'm reading about a blunt roller? Yeah, I say to Jay. 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:40.880 And by the way, already I don't know what you're 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:45.440 talking about. So so today's really a blunt yeah, blunt roller? Yeah, 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:47.520 because I see this article about snoop and that's not 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:49.640 what I care about as much. I go, how much 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.720 spot are you smoking that you need a blunt roll? 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.440 Like if you're smoking two Blonts today, three? How many? 0:01:55.960 --> 0:02:00.040 And is there did someone walking to an employment and 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.520 seeing they go, what are your skills? And then you'll 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:05.800 look at that. Look what that says Zipp recruiter. I 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.520 just checked out Zipp recruiter. Yeah, seven hundred and sixty 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:12.120 one joint roller jobs. Really what am I knocking myself 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:16.200 out doing this? Exactly? So we wanted to talk to 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:21.040 the foremost celebrated blunt roller. She's in a tough business 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.200 because it's a male dominant of business. Sure, and how 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:24.960 do you trust that you're working with they're all stoned. 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:26.400 How do you know they're gonna pay it? How do 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:28.280 you know they remember that? I'm assuming it's a cash 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:30.960 upfront business. We'll find that. We'll find out. Renegade piranhas 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:33.600 joining us. Lovely to meet you. Thank you the studio, 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:35.919 so excited to be here, excited to have you here. 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.679 So before we talk about and do remember through the 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.960 entire interview, I don't know anything you're talking. I'll tell 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:45.720 you no, no no, no point of repay. I say to Jason, 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:48.720 I just in passing, we prep a little bit, not 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:50.840 that it looks it. And I go, you know the 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.280 four twenty things? And he goes, what's four twenty? And 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:56.440 I go, wait a minute, and I take the headlines 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:58.919 from the New York Times. It says, of course everybody 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.000 knows about four twenty, but what they don't know is 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.880 and I go, not everybody knows. So you're talking, you're 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:07.000 gonna be talking? What does that even mean? Everybody knows? 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:10.960 How does everybody know what am I remedial. Why wouldn't 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:15.600 I know if everybody knows. Nobody tells me things. Everybody knows. 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:19.640 People withhold things because you're like my sons. I said 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:21.320 to them when they were growing up, Hey, you're gonna 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.360 see technology. I don't want to be like my parents, 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.760 who couldn't program a VCR. VCR, by the way, was 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:29.800 anything that we used to have it was. I didn't 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:31.280 want to be that, so I said to my children, 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.240 take me along as you learn something. Take me the 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:36.840 terminology your music, share your music with me, saying nothing 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:40.280 not they showed me nothing. I got you, Jason, I'm 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.240 gonna have you so hip you're about to be hip hop. 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:46.240 I got drunk. I got about you on the No 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:48.840 Jumper interview, and I understood about half of what you're 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.680 talking about because here's my complaint about your industry. Yeah, 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:56.720 they're eight names. I think, for part when a stoner 0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:00.000 needs simplicity, you need one name, one name for stuff 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:06.120 to stoners because they're going splif. It so the best 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:09.080 way to explain the depth of all this, and I 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:11.200 think it kind of helps with tying in how you 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:13.600 feel coming in and saying, what is going on here? 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.400 How come I wasn't told about this. I think there 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.920 was a lot of propaganda and things that were made 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.760 to demonize cannabis, and there was no research down on 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:24.919 it for the medicinal properties of it and all the 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:28.120 good things that it actually brings to people's lives. So 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:31.120 I think in the past few years now, with the dispensaries, 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.919 with all of the legalization that's happening recreational as well, 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.760 we have now research and all this stuff added behind it. 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:40.640 So now you are seeing this world that has been 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.680 real to everybody who basically just was like, hey, we've 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:46.479 seen this in effect for years. If you've ever you know, 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:49.680 hung around the same way the wine world has its own. 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.200 There's all these terms that you might not know about, 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:54.560 but it's a whole world. So I think now that 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:59.520 we're taking the taboo off of cannabis, now everyone's like, Okay, 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:01.680 what's going on here and why have I been missing 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:03.120 out on it? But you've been missing out on it 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.719 because I think everyone was afraid of getting bubble, so 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:09.760 we've kind of kept some of the terminology itself. So well, 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.000 I get it. And by the way, here's yeah, I 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:15.040 do know because you mentioned it. Do you know allegedly, 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:17.920 this is what I've read. Do you know why the 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:23.080 marijuana business was originally demonized? Do you know who was 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:27.000 responsible for it? Supposedly Monty Hall No, okay, very good 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:31.000 guests tried the curtain. No, it was it was William 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.920 Randolph Hurst because he had invested, because he owned the 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:39.279 newspaper industry, he had invested in forest lands and lumber 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:44.680 to make wood pulpy. And they discovered was hemp is 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:48.000 easier to grow, faster to grow, makes a more durable paper, 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:51.040 and he he didn't want to lose his investment in 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:54.839 the lumberyard, so he demonized hemp, Yes, and every derivative 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:59.280 that you could make from it. That allegedly, No, that's 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.760 that's a solid allegedly. Another allegedly was it was demonizing 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:06.880 all the jazz singers because all of the young uptown 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.240 girls would go to Harlem and would go to all 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:11.479 these jazz clubs and kind of like have fun all 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:13.839 night long, and their parents were like, you can't go there, 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:15.600 So they demonize it, and that's where all the reefer 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:21.440 madness kind of stuff came out. Lac I don't know. Sorry, 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.760 I'm bad historians, but I do know I think it 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:26.359 was like forties or fifties. I think it was like 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.640 three sixties. It was earlier. It was much earlier, because 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:30.080 it was like right when jazz and stuff kind of 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:32.040 was still going. Yeah, no, we've got a fact on 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:36.280 your here. I got a quick thropple for you. According 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:40.599 to the Google reefer, Madness was originally produced in nineteen 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:43.680 thirty six by a church group under the title Tell 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:46.760 Your Children. The film was intended to be shown to 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:51.560 parents as an anti marijuana morality tale. The film was 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:55.560 later rediscovered in the nineteen seventies and gained a new 0:06:55.640 --> 0:07:00.160 life as an unintentional satire among advocates of Can't This 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:07.159 policy reform. Secondly, while William Randolph Hurst was undoubtedly anti cannabis, 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:12.160 his motivations are still debated. Hears newspapers depicted marijuana as 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:17.280 the assassin of youth, causing crime and violence. These stories 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:21.040 were often based on racist tropes, which Hurst was known 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:26.920 to have a sasspot for. Finally, his associate Harry Angslinger, 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:31.200 who was the first commissioner of the Federal Bureau of 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:36.720 Narcotics and under that agency, jazz singers were targeted, including 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:41.680 individuals such as Billy Holliday, whose music was supposedly satanic 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:46.440 and the result of marijuana use. We got a lot 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.400 to cover today. Yeah. The first thing is, let me 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:52.120 briefly address the controversy. The controversy was you in an 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:58.600 interview allegedly twenty five joints, and you were taken out 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:01.040 of context. You would said you roll a half a 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:03.320 pound to a pound a day, and they added it 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:04.880 up as if it was him. And by the way, 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.440 I looked it up and Snoop in twenty thirteen said 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.840 he did eighty one, even though that's unverified. So you 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:15.400 don't give out what they're smoking. I mean, I guess, yeah, sure, 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.640 I guess so. Yeah, without me even realizing it was that, 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:20.280 I guess so. But it's like personal too, Like I 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:22.720 don't think it's anyone's business how you get down with 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:25.760 your person, Like how you like your cheeseburger should only 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:30.520 be your chef's business, how you like your steaks. With 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:33.320 every passing moment, I'm rely Also, let me let me 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:35.080 give you one more thing. You would ask the question earlier. 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:36.480 I don't want to skip past it. You said, there's 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.080 twelve hundred names right now, for sure. The best thing 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:41.480 to compare this too would be like dog breeding. So 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:43.240 you imagined when dogs back in the day, there was 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:45.160 only a few types of dogs, and now you have 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:50.760 like teacup yorkeys and like whipper doodle, snapper snaps, Like 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:53.120 what are these dogs? But they're just these dogs that 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:56.000 have been bred together. So now if you get a 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.640 pure bred dog, you might see those um like a 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:01.160 border Collie or whatever. You might these instinctive things that 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:02.840 are in it. But some of these dogs are just 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:06.360 thirteen fourteen different things kind of bread together. So it's 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.160 really genetic breeding. But it's also done in the name 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:12.439 of science and medicine because once you break this plant down, 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:16.440 you realize within this these original plants, there's all of 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:20.320 these variants that can create more of this effect or 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:22.920 more of this relief. Some of them now they've geared 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:25.199 it for strictly pain relief. Some of them are geared 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:27.600 strictly for And this doesn't mean it's going to cure 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:29.400 it in any capacity. I am not a doctor. These 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:32.280 are this opinions, and everyone has an opinion. Don't forget. 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:34.760 But what this now it does is now you can 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.959 say if you suffer from epilepsy or MS or Parkinson's. 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:39.960 These would be the types of strains that would be 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:41.559 really good for you. One of the reasons that I 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:44.640 am so ignorant of everything in this world is when 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:47.840 I was a teenager and I first encountered pot and 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:50.200 I tried it. Now, I never get migraine. Yeah, my 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:54.840 reactions to it were sort of migraine, intense headaches, absolutely hive. 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.120 And a physician said to me, you know you're allergic 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:00.640 to him, absolutely, and is that a thing that is 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:04.480 that is absolutely? That is absolutely? Well no, there's there's 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:08.120 no So there's no like lactate free cannabis yet, but 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:11.840 you could smoke like but you could, but you could 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:17.479 take like CBD extract medicine or gummies and things like that, 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:22.120 you know, because I thought, okay, CBD extracted probably doesn't 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.120 carry the things I would say, we need to I 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:28.040 call for this right now. We need to get testing 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:31.000 put in place for cannabis to where we can test 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.199 somebody to see if they're allergic to the THHC to 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:36.360 the CBD, to the THHA, to the CBO. I mean, 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:38.440 there's so many different little things that they pull out 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:43.520 of them. Yeah, because because some people who are lactose 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:48.560 intolerant can have lactate free milk sure, or like lactose 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:50.520 free milk right, or they can take some sort of 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.160 thing beforehand that helps offset it and then they can 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:56.800 digest the milk. So I'm sure we're smart enough people. 0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:59.199 Let's get this together. That's why she's the top one 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.920 this world. So let me before we get into blunts 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.320 from some points whatever. I was blown away. I watched, 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:07.120 like I said to no Jumper thing fifteen years old 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.640 to come over from Iran. Yes, you have to figure 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.120 out what's going to you go to Cincinnati. Yeah, was 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:14.600 that with you? I moved to Cincinnati when I was ten. 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:17.800 You made this immigration with your family? Yes, with my parents, 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:20.959 my brother and my sister at the time. No, no, no, 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.240 no um. I left Iran when I was like eight. 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.880 I lived in Vienna, Austria for about a year and 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:27.959 a half, so I learned German. So then I spoke 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.400 Farsi and German, and then I moved to America and 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.520 I had to learn English. I remember on the plane 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:36.320 over here, the woman offered me ice water and water 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.320 was the weirdest word I'd ever heard of the way, 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:44.640 because right, so imagine like German is very you know, 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:46.640 it's very in the mouth, right, and so it's FARSI. 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:50.120 So it was it was interesting having to learn English. Yes, 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.240 go ahead and day I'm sorry. You sit in your room, 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:55.679 like I said, in my room practicing guitar. He practiced magic. 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:57.840 Were you rolling? What were you doing? Well, it wasn't 0:11:57.880 --> 0:11:59.760 in my room. I think it was just the culture 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:03.679 of us smoking. I was never a kid that was 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:05.599 into anything else. As a kid, a lot of my 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.679 friends were into, oh, let's find alcohol or let's I 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:11.160 was just always into smoking. I guess even as a teenager, 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:13.120 that was like the thing I was looking for. And 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:17.040 then I would say hip hop culture was the biggest 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:21.760 catalyst in me even discovering cannabis, because I wasn't like, 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.040 I wasn't listening to the Willie Nelsons. There's there's some 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.840 like that Johnny cash Is. I've found out later on 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:29.120 that these guys were rooting for cannabis the whole time too. 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.800 There's a lot of people that were right. So for me, 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:34.480 hip hop was the thing that you know, like spark 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.199 a blonde, roll a perfect blunt, let me spark it 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:37.679 for you. That was one of two pox lines that 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:41.840 kind of really struck home with me. But that where 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:43.280 the blunt comes from. So you didn't know what the 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:46.520 blunt was. So I don't know if this is factual actual, 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:50.040 but from my personal understanding my educated guests, hip hop 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:54.600 culture was very highly influenced by mafia Italian you know, mobsters, right. 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:57.360 The whole culture of it is very law familia, you know, 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:02.040 hold the family down, absolutely, you get it exactly exactly. 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:04.880 So I think because of that they wanted to, you know, 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:07.079 you want the look of the stogie in your mouth. 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.920 It looks a lot more macho and it looks a 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:13.200 lot cooler than a little tiny joint. The rappers were 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:15.880 just taking cigars back in the day. It was like 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:19.480 the Philly Titans exactly, the Optimos, the Swisher sweet natural leaves, 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:21.440 and you just bust those down and they're they're there 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.640 are the more accessible cigars. They're not the fancy schmancy 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.760 aficionado you go to the smoke shop and the little 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:29.439 human door. They're the ones that are at the back 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:31.679 of the bodega and you bust those down and then 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:34.720 you roll those that up you put the cannabis inside 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.520 of that. So now it's like it's almost like an 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:39.880 open face spliff or something. When you go to Europe, 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:44.160 they put tobacco in with the with the flower inside 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:47.479 of paper. So this is you're putting the tobacco outside 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:51.680 of the flower. So like you ever had like So 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.640 there's like the rice rolls, and then there's like and 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:57.360 then there's like the noriy rolls. Right, so imagine the 0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.920 blunt is the Nori roll and then they joint is right? 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.000 What is it? What's the hit if you're smoking a 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:05.120 tobacco or blunt that the tobacco gives you. What is 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:08.520 the added benefit smoke wise? I don't know. I mean, 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:10.200 I don't know if there's I don't know if there's 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:13.520 medicinal benefit. I'm sure there isn't. Also, although if you 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:15.240 talk to Native Americans, they would say there's a lot 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:17.640 of medicinal benefit also in tobacco. But I think it 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:21.480 creates like a smoother hit and then you just look 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:28.280 more gangster, Like what can I say? You know, like 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:31.000 I want to look like Tony Montana. Sure, I want 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:35.320 to feel like you know, why can't I be al Capone? 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:41.160 I got no education? Yeah, I don't know. You I 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:44.160 remember Pacino going, I remember that speech. I got no education. 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:48.000 He's talking to Michelle Feife. I got no education. That's okay, 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.760 that's okay. I know the streets, all the right people. 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:52.880 I'm making all the right connection. That's right with the 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.680 right woman. I could go right to the top. That's it. 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:58.400 I remember, that's you, and then my little friend and 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:00.320 then what I'm through with it. They didn't asked you 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.120 in that role. And by the way I could do that, 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.680 you would have killed that role, Jason, and nobody would 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:09.200 believe jig j It sounds like against the big jig 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:12.200 j j al that what is By the way, let 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:16.240 me ask about names, you know, because not my real name. 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.360 By the way, that's a stage. My real name, your 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.720 name to camera. My real name is j j Y, 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:27.160 middle name Scott. My last name is green span And 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:30.800 I joined I joined my first acting union when I 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:34.320 was a young teenager, and I had playground trauma because 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:37.080 my last name was easy to green crap Green, you 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:39.240 know you fill in the blank, and so I didn't. Oh, 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:40.560 I gotta get rid of that. And I went in 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:42.880 and I and my father's first name is Alexander, so 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:45.400 I went Jason Alexander and they went sure. So it 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:47.960 was a spur of the moment. But it's not bad. 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:52.520 I'm assuming you were not born. So do you do 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:56.840 you ever reveal your your I'm Randi, well, Rana summer 0:15:56.880 --> 0:16:02.080 Gandhi for the Americans, full name ran Jandi. You know, 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:08.240 just thank you, thank you. Is it just because you 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:10.920 are in the rap world that you decided to so 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:14.800 honestly the names were given to me. Um. I'll just 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:17.440 I'll give you brief story. When I first moved to America, 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:20.520 my like seventh grade, I think she was my social 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:23.040 studies teacher. I forget her name was miss Parks. If 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:25.160 you're watching this, you know exactly who you are. She 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:27.280 used to call me Rana Parana because she was like, 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:29.120 it's an easy way for people to pronounce your name. 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.080 And you're little, you got a big mouth, you're always 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:33.400 You're not You're just always you're always talking, You're always 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:37.560 saying stuff, You're feisy whatever. So then it was Randa 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:41.360 Parana and then but I didn't yet, I mean at eleven, 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:43.600 I wasn't really like adopting it as a nickname per se, 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:45.400 but they would call me that, and then all the 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:48.000 kids started calling me that. And then when I was 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:50.880 in high school, jay Z and Eminem dropped a song 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:54.640 called Renegade, Right jay Z, you know jay Z is 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:57.080 and then you know and M and M is that. 0:16:57.240 --> 0:16:59.000 So they came out with a song that they did 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.120 on collaboration. Other was on Jayz's album as the Blueprint whatever. 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:05.120 But the song, the chorus of the song was I'm 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.520 a renegade, not afraid to say what's on my mind 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:11.000 at any given time of day. So then unanimously, every 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:13.439 single person that lived in America and knew me and 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:16.120 listened to rap music was like, Randa because my name 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.800 is in it, and I had to Google. I'm not Google. 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:21.000 I had to like Dictionary, look up. Weren't even men 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.600 back then. Yeah, I'm like, what does RANDI? What is 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:25.600 a renegade? And then I was like, oh, I like it. 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:33.240 And then I married the two because Piranha's run in packs, 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:37.360 sure right, I don't run, and I'm a I'm a 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:40.360 brigade of one, an army of one, a renegade brigade 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:43.119 of one. So being that that, I was like, oh, 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:46.960 I'm a renegade Piranha because you're on your own. But 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:50.040 now also I mean, I've I've known you all of 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:53.320 eight minutes now, Yes, but has a sort of a 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:57.600 vicious you know, and you don't see I don't get 0:17:57.680 --> 0:17:59.919 that vibe from here. Is it is? It? Is it 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:03.040 an image thing as well? I think vicious is in 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:08.639 the confidence you have to have as a small woman, 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:13.280 like you said earlier, in these completely male dominated world. 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:16.960 So I think the feisty isn't. I'm not a fighter, 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:21.840 but I think when when somebody meets me, they initially 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:24.560 you expect people to behave a certain way, and then 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:29.280 when you see somebody speaking fearlessly or standing firm also 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:31.480 in what they're saying, I think then that kind of 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:32.920 some people go, oh my god, I love it, and 0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:44.040 then some people go a little aggressive. So you do 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:46.280 blum bars blunt bars at events and stuff. Yeah, and 0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:49.280 you use me what it's like it's like? Is that 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:52.040 like a sushi bar? Is that like that? I guess 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:54.680 pool swim up a bar? Is it like? No? So 0:18:56.119 --> 0:19:00.320 it's like ju so I um big big jut so 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:03.040 I um. So when I got the gig and I 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:06.560 started doing the professional rolling, so now I'm rolling every 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:09.199 single day copious amounts. You wouldn't believe it, from like 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:14.640 eight hundreds hundreds of blunts a day and a day, 0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:16.679 every single day, back to back to back. So then 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:19.440 I did this for years. So then like a year 0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:20.960 or maybe a year and a half into it, I 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:23.080 was like, oh yo, what if I I was like, 0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:26.399 I'm pretty like my hand had gotten so machine like that. 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:28.440 I was like, oh, this is easy, I could I 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:30.440 could do. This is a show talk to people. Will 0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:32.240 I do? This? Is because I was always good, but 0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:34.760 then you know, once you become really machinery, now it's 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:38.880 just crazy good. So then I started asking people who 0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:41.920 were throwing events in La to let me set up 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:44.920 a blunt bar next to there, literally a blunt part. 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:47.720 So literally I'll go sit there. And so I'm like, okay, 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:49.560 well you would stand in line and let somebody make 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:53.119 you a drink. It's California, it's La. Everyone I know 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:56.359 at a party loves a joint more than a drink, 0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:58.520 if not as much as a drink, right, So I'm like, 0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:01.199 oh this, but I mean I'm and then you know, 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:03.320 here we are. So then I started doing that, and 0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:05.160 then like people would stand in line and now I'm 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:07.520 just rolling up. So next time you throw a party, 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:09.960 I'll be there. Blunt bar. That's and By the way, 0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:14.320 those are exactly the kinds of parties, Peter. You've been parties. 0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:22.680 You fighting from one, Yeah, your own smores, which makes 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:24.520 sense because then you're eating smarts. I want to go back. 0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:26.800 By the way, she has a very cool stage name. 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:28.640 I have a stage name. You have a stage name. 0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:32.680 It was it was George Clooney. Unfortunely, what are you laughing? 0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:40.000 It was bad timing because I know the clowning. You're 0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:42.160 getting back to the blunt bark. Yeah, you're being tough. 0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:44.919 I can see you. Yeah, you gotta be top.

Partygoers they also want to be showing off 0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:55.520 in from their friends. Yeah, because it's that yea, and 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:58.120 they're talking smack and all kinds of stuff happening.

Oh god, my mom 0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:08.960 was right. I shouldn't have done this. Moments too, This 0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:11.760
