53
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 1: I had the pleasure of speaking with you on a

54
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: zoom when this story first broke, and I tracked you

55
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: down and you gracefully jumped on a call with me,

56
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: which was awesome. So I got to hear a little

57
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: bit about it. So I don't want to act like

58
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: what I know. I'm gonna play like we've never talked

59
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: and Blue wasn't a part of that call. I think

60
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: it was just me and Solar. But before we get

61
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: into your company of what you are, who are you?

62
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: And where are you from exactly? Yeah, So, as you said,

63
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: Edgar Ramone, I am born and raised in Chicago, and

64
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: I still live there now, but I will be moving

65
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: to Michigan here shortly right. We're planning on having an

66
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: opening here at the hopefully at the end of summer.

67
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: So I'll be moving to the great state of Michigan.

68
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: But I born and raised in Chicago. My background is

69
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: very interesting. I mean it went from like a big

70
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: roller coaster ride. I I was a delinquent as a kid,

71
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: ended up in Wall Street for most of my career.

72
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: I spent twenty five years and in Wall Street and

73
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: the Ffects and interest rate world. And then when I said, hey,

74
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: you know this is really I'm done with this. I

75
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: want to find something new to do here started looking

76
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: at other emerging markets and the fact that I've consumed

77
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: cannabis my entire life, I'm like, this is kind of

78
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: a no brainer for me. So I met my friend

79
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: and my business partner in Michigan and he came to

80
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: me and said, hey, I got an idea. At that time,

81
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: it was something completely different than what the Canary model

82
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: is now. But when I got to Miskegan, Michigan, where

83
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: we're at I just noticed, like it's such a beautiful place.

84
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: Michigan is such a beautiful state. We're on the west

85
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,119
Speaker 1: side of it, so we're really close to the beautiful

86
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: shores of Lake Michigan. As you mentioned, we got four acres.

87
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, let's do something nobody else is doing. Let's

88
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: do something completely unique. There's a lot of weed being grown,

89
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: there's a lot of weed being sold. You can go

90
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: into multiple stores and find it there. What's not being done?

91
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: And then I just took my avid traveling experience and

92
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: my lifestyle of wanting to have fun and enjoy life

93
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: as it is, and said, you know, let's do something

94
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: here that hasn't been done before anywhere. And we came

95
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: up with the Canary model. And the Canary model is

96
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: what breweries and wineries are to their industry, right. But

97
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: we're for cannabis. So we grow it there, we process

98
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: it there, we're gonna package it there, we're gonna sell

99
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: it there and entertain you there, dying you there. We've

100
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: got now six licenses. They range from cultivation to retail

101
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: and now our liquor license that we just bought and

102
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: got to prove for so kind of on the same location.

103
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: You guys have one location unprecedented, right, like on the

104
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: same location that they look at it as like it's

105
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: a twenty one in older product. So what's the difference.

106
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: What's the difference of somebody drinking at home and then

107
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: going out and smoking at their friend's house, or the opposite,

108
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: smoking at home and then going out to a bar

109
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: or being at the bar and then stepping outside and smoking.

110
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: It's like you don't have any control of what they're doing.

111
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: At least we know exactly what everybody's doing, where they're

112
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: doing it, how they're doing it, because they're on our location. Yeah,

113
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: that's just unprecedent, like you said, because here in California,

114
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: you can't do that in even other states. Right now,

115
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: we've been trying to do events, and we've done events

116
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: here in California where you know, you have to be

117
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: a different address, different location, so to speak, to get

118
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: the liquor license to go hand in hand with that

119
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: cannabis license to be able to do How hard was

120
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: that for you guys to be able to do? You

121
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: have seven different cannabis style license and then to get

122
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: the liquor one, So five cannabis licenses and then the

123
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: liquor license, and you're right, it doesn't. So last night

124
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: I was fortunate to go spend some time in West

125
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: Hollywood and I visited some of the lounges out there

126
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: are the popular lounges that everybody knows about, right, get

127
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: some ideas, get your mind, yeah, doing some creative research,

128
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: and just kind of seeing what's happening out here. When

129
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: you look at it on social media, it always looks great.

130
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: You can make anything on social media great, Right, I

131
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: can have short hair and be fifty pounds lighter. Right,

132
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: But when you go there, hey, Adam, you do look

133
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: like online I'm like you guys hear that. Maybe it

134
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: looks good here. So I said, let's go. I want

135
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: to go check these out. And I went with a

136
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: friend of mine and she's she's famous in the cannabis space,

137
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: in the lounge space. So we said, hey, let's go,

138
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: you know, check out some of the ease and see

139
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: what it's all about. It's completely different than what we're doing. Like, yes,

140
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: you can smoke there, Yes you can consume there, but

141
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: if you want food, if they allow food, you got

142
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: to order the food in from someplace house. They're not

143
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: set up for real true hospitality the way that we're

144
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: envisioning being we're as much a hospitality company as we

145
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: are cannabis companies. Right, so so well, I mean we

146
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: totally understand that, like that's that's our culture. But continue

147
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: to start. Yeah, yeah, and it's there's nothing wrong with that,

148
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: right you're you're Our cannabis company will do well because

149
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: our hospitality company, and the hospitality company will do well

150
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: because of the cannabis business. So we did some research

151
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: and no alcohol, and there's talks about one of them

152
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: having the ability to drink right next door, but you

153
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: got to stay there. You can't be there, right. You

154
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: can't smoke with the drink in your hand, none of that.

155
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: You can't smoke in all of the areas. You can

156
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: only smoke in specific areas. You can't do a lot

157
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: of different things out there. So to answer your question,

158
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: it actually wasn't that hard. The city of Moskeeganum, which

159
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: is where we're at in Michigan, very forward thinking. They're like, hey,

160
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: this sounds great. The mayor said to us, I can't

161
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: wait to come have it a beer and a joint

162
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: with you guys. Wow, Like, can you open sooner? My

163
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: birthdays in July May. What's the mayor's name, man, that's

164
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: Mayor Ken Johnson. There you go. That's forward thinking. It's

165
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: really embracing the community because it's real. He's being honest,

166
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: like that's what that's what he wants to do. Yeah,

167
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: the Mayor's like, shit, I'm gonna go home and drink

168
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: and smoke a joint. Why can't I just see that

169
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: at a and why why not? It's happening now, But

170
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: it's happening. It's done secretively. Right, they're saying, you go

171
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: to a bar, I want to smoke with my friends,

172
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: I gotta step outside. So it's occurring. Why are we not?

173
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: Why is cannabis not allowed the same privileges that alcohol has.

174
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: You can go to a bar and no one questions you, Like,

175
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: they're not gonna say, well, how many of you're gonna buy?

176
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: You can only buy three drinks? Right, No, you can

177
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: buy as many as you want. Maybe you get too

178
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: drunk and they throw you out of there. But cannabis

179
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: consumers should be allowed the exact same privilege is that

180
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: alcohol consumers have. And that's what we're doing. That's what

181
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: we're bringing to the table. The great part about our

182
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 1: business though, is also that even if you don't consume cannabis,

183
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: there's a reason to come there. You can eat there,

184
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 1: you can drink there. There'll be live music there, there

185
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: might be a comedy show there. So if you're a

186
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: group of ten people and somebody doesn't consume for whatever reason,

187
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: I don't know why, but if they don't consume, they

188
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: can still come out. But how do we get to

189
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: cana curious to start consuming? You do it in a

190
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: location where it's normalized, where people are saying, Okay, hey,

191
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: there's nothing bad going on here. I'm going to try

192
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: that drink. I'm going to have that two and a

193
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 1: half milligram drink. And that's how you get that canter

194
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: curious to start saying all right, you know, it's it's

195
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: interesting because you know, going into the smoking and alcohol licenses,

196
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: it's it's flood all illegal right here. But if a

197
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: city chooses to supersede the state and say it's okay

198
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: in our city, it's okay in the state where you're at.

199
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: Is it legal to do that or there just wasn't

200
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: a law there, or yeah, Michigan has actual lounge licenses

201
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: and event licenses, So we have the both event and

202
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: lounge licenses. We can throw events anywhere in the state

203
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: of Michigan, not just our property. We can host them

204
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: anywhere that the municipality allows. But it is up to

205
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: the municipality to opt into any of the licenses and

206
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: or allowed both cannabis and alcohol consumption from from a

207
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: discretional you know base. I guess, yeah, yeah, the munistian

208
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: doing it right. They you know, you go through all

209
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: the permits and whatever you need and it gets done correct.

210
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: And our goal is to show proof of concept in

211
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: Muskegan and then take that and say to other municipalities

212
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: or other states and say, look, it works, guys. You

213
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: know if we should be able to replicate this anywhere.

214
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: Edgar break this down for us four acres. What's this

215
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: look like? How's the landscape. I'm looking at the website

216
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: right now and I got to feel for it of

217
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: this mocked up drawing that you guys have there with

218
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: trees around the outside and this and that. But give

219
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: people listening a lay of the land of a four

220
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 1: acre first ever cannery field where it's a destination spot

221
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: for purchasing, consuming, and socializing all in one space. Yeah,

222
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: so we're under construction right now of the eleven thousand

223
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: square foot building that's on the four acres. That eleven

224
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: thousand square foot building will be converted into our dispensary

225
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: and all of our hospitality components, so the restaurant, the lounge,

226
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: there was a commercial kitchen in there. That commercial kitchen

227
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: remained and we decided to build around that. I'll give

228
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: a shout out to our great architect, Merge Architect out

229
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: of Colorado, and our general contractor, grow America Builders. They

230
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: helped us design this space to utilize everything the way

231
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: we wanted to be utilized. We're going to have a

232
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: speakeasy type vibe where you come in through our flower

233
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: shop and then you either go to the restaurant or

234
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: you go to the lounge, or go to the dispensary.

235
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: And in our gift shop. In our flower shop, we're

236
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: going to be selling clones because they are allowed in Michigan,

237
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: so people can buy clones. Then we got an outdoor

238
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: space that's the equivalent. It's about ten thousand square feet

239
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: that's connected outdoors, and we're building a beautiful greenhouse there

240
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: that people can dine in, smoke in, hang out in.

241
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: But we'll also grow all our plants that will use

242
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: for the property, for the decor, I should have started

243
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: with this. We came up with the name Fields because

244
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: we love plants, all plants, not just cannabis plants. So

245
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: our entire design and decor will be based on having

246
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: beautiful vegetation throughout the entire property. Native plants for Michigan

247
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: will be planted all around there. We want people to

248
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: have like an immersive experience of being in a beautiful

249
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: field of vegetation and flower life and they want to

250
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: be there just you know, to be there. Yeah, it's phenomenal.

251
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: And then we're building a greenhouse, so we also have

252
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: a very sustainable model. We're building a greenhouse directly behind that,

253
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 1: and this is about a seventeen thousand square foot greenhouse

254
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: that will of course will go to Crannit Cannabis there.

255
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: We'll have our processing there, we'll have our dry room there. Um,

256
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: it's module. We're doing as much as we can to

257
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: be environmentally friendly, so we're gonna of course use the

258
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: glass panels, solo geothermal water recommation and then a back

259
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: corner behind that will have a small amphitheater, not something

260
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: that you know, we can host like a cannabis talk

261
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: thing there would be great, But I don't know if

262
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna bring Rihanna there. Like it's only four acres, right,

263
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: But we can have small concerts there, We can have

264
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: weddings there. The property can be rented out fully if

265
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: somebody wants to do a corporate event there, anything like that.

266
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: And and the whole design again is to try to

267
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: be native to Michigan. What Michigan offers in terms of

268
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: like their outdoor. There's beautiful trails there, beautiful sandy beaches there.

269
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: We're really close to the lakefront. So we want people

270
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: to get that Midwest vibe out of how many how

271
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: many people are I mean, does the town have you know,

272
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: obviously enough people and to to you know, to actually

273
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: sustain the facility, right if we obviously had to do

274
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: an impact port to understand that, right we did. And

275
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: the fifty mile radius is one point two million people. However, though,

276
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: because it is a destination spot already, the city of

277
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: Miskegan alone brings in one point three million tourists a year.

278
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: Really people people from Chicago. It's a three hour drive

279
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: from Chicago. They got their lake houses there, right, they

280
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,119
Speaker 1: have their second houses over there. The ferry from Milwaukee,

281
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: Wisconsin comes directly into Miskegan. The Great Lakes Cruise Ship

282
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: comes into Miskegan. We're really close to Grand Rapids, depending

283
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: on what side of Miskegan and Grand Rapids you are,

284
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: we're twenty five thirty minute drive. We're close to a

285
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: lot of other destination spots. So it really is an

286
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: area that the population is three hundred thousand, but the

287
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: surrounding populations one point two million, and there's already another

288
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: million another million coming in. That makes it that much nice. Yeah, yeah,

289
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: it makes sense. Yeah, it's because in my mind, I'm

290
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: going to as you know that there's so big, how

291
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: are you going to sustain? But if you if you

292
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: look at it right to me, right, they're basically, you know,

293
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: building cannabis Disneyland. Well no, well not only that. It's

294
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: it's more than that, right, It's it's it's it's it's

295
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: it's when you go into like, um, you know some

296
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: of these Anaheim what's it called the Station or whatever,

297
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: you know, and they've got all these different restaurants, they've

298
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: got cool activities. You can almost stay there all day,

299
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: right and just go hang out in this section, go

300
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: check out this section. You spend a day there, you know,

301
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: and and it'll almost feed its own within right, because

302
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure those are all subleases. How does that work

303
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: with the or do you guys own the whole place?

304
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: We own the whole place, So we own the property outright,

305
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: and we all know the entire place. We do have

306
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: a very I guess complex structure between all of these entities.

307
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: And yes they're subleasing, and there's suites and all of that.

308
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: That's how we get away with liquor. Liquor sales here

309
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: and cannabis sales there, et cetera. Um. But it's but

310
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: it's all on the exact same property, though it's right

311
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: off of it. I'n't told you guys the best part.

312
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: So it's right off of the main highway thirty one,

313
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: which is the one that runs basically from Chicago all

314
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: the way on up. Our address is four twenty no Way.

315
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: Our jazz is actually four twenty South Harvey. So when

316
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: I got there, it was like, I don't even know,

317
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: I don't even know anymore. Right, it's sports money. We

318
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: have an idea and this is the location. Here's the address,

319
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: like ah, exactly, But then I started looking into like

320
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: because I didn't know it. We had a lake house

321
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin. I always went that direction from Chicago. Then

322
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: when I started going to Michigan and I started seeing

323
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: what they have the offer over there, between the beaches

324
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: and the sandy dunes and the hiking trails and the

325
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: people and the water, the sunset, you think you're in

326
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: Costa Rica. I mean, they're just incredible. So the difference,

327
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: you know, saying that, Yeah, it's a big complex, it's

328
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: four acres, it's twenty thousand square feet of entertainment space.

329
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: People will travel for that, right, They're not going to

330
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: go fifty miles to go to a dispensary. But if

331
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: you go fifty miles and get a great locally produced

332
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: you know, with local produced food and entertainment and everything else, absolutely,

333
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: and only that, it's entertainment. As far as I'm gonna

334
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 1: have my bachelor party over there, I'm gonna have my

335
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: gathering over there, I'm my company gathering over there, my

336
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: bachelorette party. I mean, you name it for what about weddings,

337
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: weddings full nine, We've I've been quoted in a couple

338
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: of different articles and MGB MJ BIS Daily regarding weddings,

339
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: and we've already gotten phone calls with people like when

340
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna open? I want to have my wedding in

341
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: twenty twenty fours. Will you guys be open? So yeah,

342
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: I think wedding weed weddings are becoming much more popular

343
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: and we'll definitely be a spot for that. Speaking of that,

354
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: at the first phase to be opened by the end

355
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: of summer. We're shooting for August. Maybe that like spills

356
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 1: into September or something. Depending you know, we're in a

357
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: world where you just can't rely on everything. You don't

358
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen. There's there's supply chain issues

359
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: we hear about. But we're shooting for the first phase,

360
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: which is the retail and all the hospitality components, to

361
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: open this summer and late summer early fall is what

362
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: the plan is. After that, we'll start the construction on

363
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: the greenhouse and then you've got another twelve the fourteen

364
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: months of construction there, and then we'll start our first

365
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 1: our first plants there right after that. So about two

366
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,479
Speaker 1: years to be fully done. Yeah, I would say two

367
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: years is really a big project. It's a big projects

368
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. In the twenty twenty four everything is done,

369
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: all licenses are operating, we're growing plants in there, people

370
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 1: are having parties there. Everything. Restaurant will be phase one

371
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 1: that will open at the end of summer. Like we decided,

372
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: since it's all within the same building, not to like

373
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: open the dispensary first, Like we don't want construction being

374
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: done in one area where people are shopping or the

375
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: restaurant to be open when there's construction being done on dispensary.

376
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 1: So we're going to do all of that together and

377
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 1: then have a big grand opening party hopefully with you

378
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: guys and everybody else there and have all kinds of

379
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: music and just do And we're shooting for that timeframe

380
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: as well, because we want to do the party in

381
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: the warm months in Michigan. Oh that's a great idea

382
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: and none that we can bring. Good o Jim mcmahn

Speaker 1: Golf celebrity tournament that we did. How did you get

386
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: involved with that with us? So after you guys read

Speaker 1: you would you have any interest in there? And as

389
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 1: soon as I saw a Gridiron Greats Cannabis Golf outing

00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: Jim McMahon, I'm like, yeah, I'm from Chicago, like I've

391
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 1: I've been, I've donated, I've been to DICA events and

392
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 1: have donated that caused in the past. So I'm like,

393
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: this is an absolute no brainer. How can I Why

394
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: would I not golf? Right? Right? Right? And it blew

395
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: my expectations away, everything from the decor to the people

396
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: working it, the people that were saying, hey, where do

397
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 1: you guys want to put your banners. What do you

Speaker 1: guys want to do? You know, how can we help you?

399
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: It was just high class from every aspect of it,

400
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 1: and unbelievable fun. I was glad that my wife and

401
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: I got to get out there. We brought up two

402
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: of our very good friends. I was the only one

403
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: that golf, and I'm so happy that I did decide

404
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: to golf, even though my game could use a little

405
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: bit of work, and everybody, yeah, I decided I'm gonna

406
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: go ahead and play golf, and it like worked out perfectly.

407
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: I got paired up with Morton Anderson. I got to

408
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: ride with him the whole time time. So how often

409
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: do you get to like play golf in Arizona at

410
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: a cannabis friendly event. And that course, Anthem Country Club

411
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: was very nice, beautiful place. And the funny part was

412
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: he was supposed to play with Kevin Butler, another Chicago bear,

413
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: So I saw that right away, and I hear Kevin

414
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: and Morton talking, and Kevin's like, my club's never made it.

415
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,959
Speaker 1: I can't play. And as this is all occurring, I

416
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: gave up my seat in my cart to somebody that

417
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: wanted to ride with a good friend of theirs. I said, yeah, absolutely,

418
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: I'll find someplace to sit and ride. I don't care.

419
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: And this is all happening in front of Kevin and Morton,

420
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: and Kevin's like nope, nope, I'm not going to play.

421
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: Morton's like, hey, just jump in with me. I'm like, yeah, absolutely,

422
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: So the entire time you're riding with him. Oh, I

423
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: rode with him. I was in the way to the

424
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: next was even better? Is our sign? Said Kevin Butler

425
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: and Morton Anderson. So everybody thought it was Kevin Butler.

426
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: They wanted to take pictures with me. They wanted me

427
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: to sign stuff. I'm like, you guys here are not

428
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: good fans, because we love nothing alike. Well, someone called

429
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 1: you Jerry Rice. Oh my god, this not only called

430
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: me Jerry Rice, the lady. I was eating a sandwich

431
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: at the time. She goes, I know that sandwich isn't

432
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 1: gonna leave your hand because Joe used to throw you

433
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: those balls and you never dropped up. And I'm like,

434
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: oh my god, you think I'm Jerry Rice. I couldn't

435
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: tell her why. Then she took a picture that she goes,

436
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: You're the reason why I came here, and blah, blah blah,

437
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, it's like a picture. I'll bet

438
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: on your cart you didn't know it said Jerry Rice

439
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: either way. It was so no, Mike Cart did say

440
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice, and it was funny that we did that,

441
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: but that whole event it did say Jerry Rice on there.

442
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: And I just loved the community that was out there

443
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: in Arizona. The way, like the neighbors were the sign

444
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: that said free beers, and on one of the holes

445
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: there was like twenty guys sitting there watching us put

446
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: the galleries, watching us hit. I was just overly impressed

447
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: as well as you know, we helped throw the event,

448
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 1: but I was like, wow, I was impressed with the

449
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: community that came a city. Yeah, that the peep, the locals. Actually,

450
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: you know a lot of times you go into the

451
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: country club, you have cannabis, you have alcohol, you have celebrities.

452
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: They don't care, they're they're already the elite. Anyways. You know,

453
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: it's not so exciting to see these are elite. They

454
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 1: live on a country club, you know, so get through

455
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 1: the games, especially like they a you know, country club.

456
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful place. And then to see them all

457
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: just interact with us, and like I said, they were

458
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: waving us down and I wasn't engulfing. I was just

459
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: putting through um. But I was able to get pulled over.

460
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: Hey take a shot, you want a snack. I'm just

461
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 1: like wow. People driving around they had like a stands,

462
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: like if you have a lemonade stand. They have stands

463
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: with these liquor stands throughout the whole tournament. Locals. We

464
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: got fed, we got drinks. We were trading weed for drinks. Yeah,

465
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 1: I mean like it was. They were cheering us on.

466
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: They're telling me where my ball is because I'm shanking

467
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: it over by their house. It's right over there by

Speaker 1: my weber grill. I'm like all right, like yeah, like

469
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: it was to get a drop. So it was, it was,

470
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,479
Speaker 1: it was. It was put on so great. And then,

471
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 1: like I said, all the vendors that were out there too,

477
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: to help you do something over there at your place,

478
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: because that'd be fun. We're about a mile down from

00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: mos Keegan Country Club. It's not private, it's a public,

480
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 1: off course, but it's we're only about well, I don't

481
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 1: know if we can do that though, I know that's

482
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: just too much riff raft. Excuse me, I don't know.

483
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, Edgar, you've seen our first ones

484
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: at a private club. Yeah, it doesn't know. The next

485
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: one actually gonna be halfway Vegas is a bare one,

486
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: but but that that's it's open to the public, but

487
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: it's three fifty year round, so you know, I mean,

488
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: it's the elite public that's gonna go play there. But no,

489
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: we we would love to, you know, look at the

490
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: options of doing something out there with you guys, maybe

491
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: at another golf oner, just coming out and partaking in

492
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: your event, because everything that you're venue sounds like, looks

493
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: like on the website, it looks like it's going to

494
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: be one of these destinations for cannabis that's second and none.

495
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: Like you said, you've lived at places and you know,

496
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: I'm just even curious to take me back a little

497
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: bit before. Was it you your partner? How did this

498
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: whole concept come where you sitting on the toilet where

499
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: you like looking through magazines. How does this big concept

500
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: even go to your head? Edgar to be like, dude,

501
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: I think going to do this. Yeah. So this has

502
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: been in the works for almost three years now, probably

503
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: a little more than three years ago. So my friend,

504
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: I'm calling him my friend now, not my business partner,

505
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: because we've really become very close friends. He's born and

506
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: raised in the Moskegan area. So I had a business

507
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: with my wife that we did cannabis infused dinner parties,

508
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: very high end dinner parties in the city of Chicago.

509
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: We did ones that were three hundred person all the

510
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: way down to private like ten person parties at people's

511
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: home for celebrities, you name it. He had a very

512
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: similar business doing it in Michigan. But he threw a

513
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 1: party in Chicago and he invited us to come there,

514
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: and we did and it was out of this world.

515
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: I mean I barely walked out of there because it

516
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: was it was a ten course, like one hundred milligram,

517
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: but it was it was absolutely great. And he said, hey,

518
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 1: I got an idea for something. It's it's a bit

519
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: of a risk because the property I did my research.

520
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 1: The property can be qualified or can be zoned for this,

521
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: but at the time it wasn't. And he said, I

522
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: want you to come take a look at this. So

523
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: I said, okay. So I drive up to do the

524
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: three hour drive, go up there, and I see the

525
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: four acres, see where it's at, See what Miskegan has

526
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: to offer, see what they're doing, what they're developing. There's

527
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: all kinds of new developments for tourism going on there.

528
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: And he wanted to do what's called a micro business,

529
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: which is a very small grow business, and that you

530
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: could sell it out of the same address. But I'm like, man,

531
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: this is a beautiful piece of property. And it's very

532
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: dense populated too, apartment buildings nearby and housing and Miskegan

533
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,959
Speaker 1: Community colleges just down the road. I love the travel.

534
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: I love to have fun. I believe in like experiences

535
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: over material items. My wife, although a has a social background.

536
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: She was a caseworker in the city system in Chicago

537
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: City systems court systems, but she's got a real entertainment

538
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 1: background as well hospitality background. She worked for a luxury

539
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: car manufacturer of Ferrari. She's a manager right now, one

540
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: of the hottest nightclubs in Chicago. So we just started saying, hey,

541
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: why don't we take all of these experiences that we've

542
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 1: had the fortune of like having throughout our entire lives. Yeah,

543
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,959
Speaker 1: and then let's introduce that to like this type of community. Sure. So,

544
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: after a lot of whiteboarding, right, a lot of those

545
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: visits to the bathroom and saying, why let's do this,

546
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,239
Speaker 1: let's do that, how about this, it just dawned on

547
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: us one day. We're like, man, there's breweries, there's wineries.

548
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: Why isn't the equivalent of this in cannabis occurring? So

549
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: we came up a cannery. We trademarked it and said

550
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: let's do a cannery. So it's been a while, but

551
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: we finally came up with this business model after a

552
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: lot of that exact kind of think tanking. And I'm

553
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: so happy we did it. And not only like it,

554
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: I love hearing some of those stories about the professional

555
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: experiences that you guys have in the past that are

556
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,719
Speaker 1: bringing to the cannabis industry, right, Like you just validated

557
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: your wife's experiences and your experiences for working with higher

558
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: end and other entities, like you know, you drop a

559
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: name like Ferrari. You don't work with Ferrari if you're

560
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 1: not dealing with higher echelon higher this year. You don't

561
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 1: run a nightclub in Chicago if you're not dealing with

562
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: high end this. Chicago's the number three market in the country.

563
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: For God's sakes. It's a huge population, it's big time.

564
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: It's just it's right there next to Los Angeles, folks,

565
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: and right behind New York, you know what I'm saying.

566
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: So it's not like, oh, well, what do they know

567
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: about entertainment. They know it's Chicago. It's the number three

568
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: market in the country. So when you say things like that,

569
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: I we applaud you guys because you're bringing that professionalisms

570
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: from your other professional fields into this cannabis space, which

571
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: then is going to make the cannabis space to so

572
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: much better big for us. Like you know, you didn't

573
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: have to, you could have done anything right, but you

574
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: brought your guys his expertise to this space and it's

575
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: good for the whole community. Well, it's not built yet,

576
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: so we hope it is. What's the big change in

577
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: we just lost our ears exactly, just changed to get

578
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: water damage in the ears or you guys don't feel

579
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: either way. That being said, we have twenty twenty four

580
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: to drop all these other things. How excited are people getting?

581
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: Like did you get bombarded like I did when I

582
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: called you? Because I was a guy that read the article,

583
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: read the press release, and I hunted you down literally

584
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: and you were so gracious to jump on a zoom

585
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: with me, which is lost, let's go. I'm like, and

586
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: I don't even wants Solar might have hunted you down.

587
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: Either way, We hunted you down, and I was like,

588
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: I just want to talk to this guy because I

589
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: think I said the story on the show, and after

590
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: I read the story, I told one of our guys,

591
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: I go hunt this guy down and I just want

592
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: to talk to him personally, Like are you guys getting

593
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: so much more traction? The CNNs, the Foxes, the just

594
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: who else is knocking at your door? Yeah? So what

595
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: happened was and again we started this thing back in

596
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: like twenty twenty. We didn't do a public reveal until

597
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: September of twenty twenty two when we did the Benzinga

598
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: conference in Chicago. We had a small booth over there,

599
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,959
Speaker 1: and we were probably the busiest booth there. I can

600
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: honestly say that because it was unique. It was a

601
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: unique business model that no one had ever heard about

602
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: or seen before. So right after that and I got

603
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: a chance to have a great conversation with Jim Belushi.

604
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: He was at the Benzinga conference and he's like shit,

605
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: He's like, I want to build something like that on

606
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: my property in Oregon, but we're agricultural so we really

607
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: can't do that. He's like, I can't wait to come visit.

608
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: Well after that, our phone started ringing, right so people

609
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: start reaching out to us saying, well, I need to

610
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: know more about this, How do we get involved, how

611
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: do I get a job? How can we partner? We've

612
00:30:55,240 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: had great conversations with a ten year plus veteran in

613
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: the in the extraction business here. They're based out of Washington,

614
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: they got Oregon, they got in a vata, they got

615
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: California Mammoth Labs, like I just met with them yesterday,

616
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: Like they want to figure out how can we partner

617
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: with you. So we're getting all kinds of existing operators

618
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: that are reaching out and saying, hey, we'd love to

619
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: figure out a way to partner with you. And I'm like, hey,

620
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: we're still raising money, so sure, right, let's figure this

621
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: thing out, right, and if we both have like the

622
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: same you know, in goals for all of this, then yeah,

623
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: let's figure out a way to partner. Like another cultivation

624
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: company that is still in construction as well, we had

625
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: a long talk with them about hey, if you're building

626
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: cultivation and we're building cultivation, why don't we get to

627
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: the finish line faster. It didn't work out with that one,

628
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: but we're still having these and people continue to reach

629
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: out and I'm sure after this well, I'm sure, I'm sure,

630
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: like my email is going to be full and phone

631
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: with full and all that. It's great though, because I'm

632
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: meeting great people. Yeah, because couldn't you white label things

633
00:31:58,240 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: from your place too? Can we just start growing for

634
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: people there? Yeah? Absolutely, that's a huge girl house. Absolutely,

635
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: And I think another thing that we've been kicking around

636
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: too is that if you you know, shelf space is

637
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: valuable right in any market, but especially in Michigan, that

638
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: shelf space is valuable. So we're saying, hey, partner with us, right,

639
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: invest with us, come on with us, and we can

640
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: we will in some way, shape or form kind of

641
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: guarantee you shelf space. And what's probably going to be

642
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: the hottest dispensary in all of Michigan, at least at

643
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: least Western Michigan. Right, And our business model, the dispensary

644
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: model is what ten fifteen minutes, twenty minutes, you're out

645
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: of there at tops? Right. Our model is stay on

646
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: property for as long as possible, be here for hours

647
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: because you're being dined, entertained. Right, there's a comedy show,

648
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: a music show, your birthday party, whatever it is. So

649
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: people are going to spend more money, they're going to

650
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: spend more time, They're gonna come visit more often. So

651
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: it makes sense for operators to say, I definitely want

652
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: shelf space in your in your location. And what of

653
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: food though, you said to dining again and it's like

654
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: a bar food? Are we talking high end Chicago style

655
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: kind of? When he said food again, I heard it

656
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: for a third time. I didn't yet you don't say food.

657
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: He's saying dining. So it made it feels a little different,

658
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: right guy, Is that what he did? He said dining? Right,

659
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: it's different. He got my mind thinking when you said

660
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: dining and your wife doing all these things, what are

661
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: we looking at dining wise? What's on the menu? Here

662
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: are where do we know yet? Yeah, we do, we gotta.

663
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,959
Speaker 1: We got a great idea and it'll be a rotational

664
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: with the seasons. Right, so there's four seasons that occur

665
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: in Michigan, right, so we'll have different it'll well, we're

666
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: calling kind of elevated contemporary American cuisine, right, so not

667
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: your average burger. Maybe you're certified Angus burger grass grass

668
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: fat with maybe some fog on there, right, and have

669
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: locally grown and proteins. Can I give you the name?

670
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: We have a name, but I want to hear yours. Okay,

671
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: so if you give it though, we gotta you know, look,

672
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: get it just a little like a got here it goes.

673
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: I love when your mind goes like this. But the

674
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: choices choices, I like it. I like it. I don't

675
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: know my restaurant when I in voices, I like. And

676
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: you can get sort of choices you get. You can

677
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: get different sized portions, you know, you can create like hey,

678
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: do you want you know, because not a lot of

679
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: people eat, you know, sounds like a good brothel too.

680
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: Different choices. Joe sorry, shows you how to hear the

681
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 1: name of the restaurant. Please rooted rooted rooted and mooted.

682
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 1: I like that rooted like grown, like grown. You know

683
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: what's funny you say that, I didn't expect to be

684
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: so wild. That was a good one. I was like,

685
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: choices is good. It was good. That's why I was like,

686
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: what do you mean create a chain called choices? You know?

687
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 1: But rooted is great because you're growing everything there too,

688
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: are you guys are gonna grow a lot of the

689
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: food that you guys are cooking there. Yeah, that's the plan.

690
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: But Michigan has a lot of farmers that we want

691
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 1: to work with. So a good way to give back

692
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,399
Speaker 1: to the community, not just the cannabis community, to get

693
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: back to the community in general is working with the

694
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: local farmers. Right, so whether it's produced or it's protein

695
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: band Because we remember we got a liquor license, right,

696
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: we can work with local breweries, wineries carry their wines

697
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: and their beers and our location. I mean, that's how

698
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: we're participating with the entire community. And kind of now

699
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: are you? I mean, is that all those agreements right? Like?

700
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: I mean I would assume that you're just you know,

701
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: you'd least to a you know, uh local farmer and say, look,

702
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: come on in we're gonna use your your growing techniques

703
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: to grow inside that restaurant. So the fresh foods are there,

704
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: so they come in, they manage that whole thing, and

705
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: then you buy their food from them and they're charging rent.

706
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: And is that how that's working? I mean, because that

707
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: model makes sense, it does. I haven't thought of that.

708
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: You're welcome because then he's so we did four. We

709
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: can bleep that part out if you want. We just

710
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: kind of keep on the you know, we did think

711
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: of something similar, right, we were I'm hoping to still

712
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: have a conversation with a couple of the breweries there

713
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: saying that, hey, your your beer line is expanding, right,

714
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: it's growing, but you're out a room here. What if

715
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: we give you x amount of square footage here four

716
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 1: thousand square feet or so so that you can brew

717
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: some of your beer here on this location, right, so

718
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: you rent it from us, or we cut out a

719
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,919
Speaker 1: deal where it's built into the sales or something like that. Right,

720
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: So there's opportunities like that. The farmers is probably more

721
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: like we're just buying your goods or you're selling them

722
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: at our farmers market, right, But if they're using your

723
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: space to grow it right right, I mean now, because

724
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: because if you would, you would at least get it

725
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: for at least a better price or whatever that look like.

726
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: But you guys can figure it out from there. I

727
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: but that that works really well. Plus you have you know,

728
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: your local growers there. It gives them more of a

729
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: footprint right to be able to produce more product, not

730
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 1: only for that place, but to go out other places

731
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: as well, because it could be now, it could be

732
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: a like you said, a farmer's market. People can come

733
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,280
Speaker 1: buy and buy bags of it, you know, or whatever

734
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: it is, and it would be a blues giving you

735
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 1: great ideas. Fields Cannery say hello to the first cannary

Speaker 1: As we've got Edgar in the building, I said, uh,

758
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: I have an idea, as and I just had the

759
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: idea when I was looking back at your website. Did

760
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: you guys if you want to look at the website

761
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 1: Builds Cannery dot com and I'm seeing this extra space

762
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, that's good to go eat, that's good

763
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: to watch a venture and I'm thinking how dope would

764
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: it be to have a little area where you're doing

765
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: miniature golf and after you got done eating and you're playing,

766
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: because you got all this space out there, and like

767
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 1: you know, some type of fun activity that you utilize

768
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: that space. And I don't know if it's all it

769
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: mapped out. And because it reminds me of top golf,

770
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: like I didn't know i'd have set, it's fun to

771
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 1: golf there. I reference off golf a lot. I say

772
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: that what we want to do because this is our

773
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: this is our proof of concept. We want to build

774
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,919
Speaker 1: these in every single market that we possibly can't. But

775
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: I look at it as being top top golf. They

776
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: announced themselves at we're golf, but we're much more right.

777
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: We're cannabis, but we're much more sure, right, And this

778
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 1: is an area where people will come there like top golf,

779
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: and even if you don't play, it's fun to swing

780
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: a club when you can turn around and get a

781
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: drink or get some food, or have fun, laugh and

782
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: smoke a joint. Right, And then he had our play

783
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: smoke a joint, right and have a drink, and we

784
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 1: call ourselves the David Busters of cannabis, right, like that's

785
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: literally like one of the like not jokes, but we

786
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: just like we're kind of like the David Busters. I

787
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 1: mean we throw events. You know, we we have other

788
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 1: companies renting it from us to throw their events. Uh,

789
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: you know, we haven't had a wedding, but we do

790
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: have a wedding dinner. You know where there's people here

791
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 1: that have birthdays, birthdayszvas you know, so so, but you

792
00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: start to think of that and then you know, you

793
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: what you're building is amazing. I mean I am plus

794
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: you know, we're sure, but you guys are building that

795
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:10,359
Speaker 1: live entertainment, food, drinks, and experience that has not been

796
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: done and and and I love that because you know

797
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 1: that that's what for me, it makes me you know, um,

798
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: I think you're unrealistically thinking. And that's what happens is

799
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: you have to be unrealistic to create these amazing opportunities.

800
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 1: You know you do, right. You gotta think, like the

801
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 1: best ideas that have come to our life have been

802
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: something crazy, right, Like that wasn't there, It wasn't there before, right,

803
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 1: So like you know, you go back X amount of

804
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: years and you think that you're going to be able

805
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: to like when you see AI today, it's like, really,

806
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: that's that's incredible. But it's somebody thinking crazy like that

807
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 1: that says, you know, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna

808
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: pull this off. I don't know if we have a

809
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: crazy idea. It might be crazy if we do build

810
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: a golf course. But who knows. One day, maybe there's

811
00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: a Fields hotel. Right, there's hotel. You come down, you

812
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 1: can smoke, eat, do the whole thing. Every Wednesday, there's comedy.

813
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: Every Thursday, there's you know, live band, and Friday night

814
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,879
Speaker 1: there's you know, disco whatever. You know. Speaking of that though,

815
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: is is you know, remind me you know later because

816
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: I want to link you up with Phillips, right, you know,

817
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 1: the TV you know manufacturer. They're one of our sponsors

818
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: that work closely with us. And and we've got a

819
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 1: Radiant and another company that does like um uh you

820
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: know AI and and so they have you know, like

821
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: setups world. I'll set TV's throughout your whole facility and

822
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 1: then track everybody's you know, how long they shop there,

823
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 1: how long they do they are, what product they picked up,

824
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: what probably they set down, what what did they order?

825
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:44,879
Speaker 1: Did they enjoy their meal? By the taste of their face.

826
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so much going on with that, and

827
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: and I think it's it's it's new data that that um,

828
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: you know, you might be able to use it your

829
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 1: facility as well. UM. And then also you could also

830
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: attract investors by having that kind of data. You know. Yeah,

831
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: we're data driven world, right and anything that we do

832
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: right now, every single satellite that goes up in the

833
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 1: in the you know, up in the sky, there is

834
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: collecting data and we're the world balloon. But we're the

835
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: same way, right, And I love networks, networking, I love

836
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 1: meeting people. Um. We're again we're as much a hospitality

837
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: company as we are a cannabis company. And we want

838
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: to build a lifestyle. We want to build a brand.

839
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 1: A lot of companies out there think they're a brand,

840
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,879
Speaker 1: but in reality they're really not, you know, but they

841
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 1: in their mind they think they are. We want to

842
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: build a brand, we want to become that lifestyle, and

843
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: we'll only be able to do that when we have

844
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: the right dat or when we have the right information.

845
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: Because then you can give back to your coutsumers. You

846
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: can get back to your customers and say this is

847
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: what I know you enjoy. Right, here's how we get

848
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 1: you back here and then it's a big part of

849
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 1: what my wife does today and is a big part

850
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: of what you did with Ferrari was finding out, Okay,

851
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: you bought the car, you liked the car. What more

852
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: can we do? Can we schedule like a drive event

853
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: for you? Can we get you into a race suit

854
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: and a race car and go racing and race cars?

855
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 1: So I get it. I understand why they want to

856
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: do those type of things. Let me ask you, Edgar,

857
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: your fields cannary? Is the name of the big place?

858
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: Is there a name for the flower that you guys

859
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: are gonna be putting out yet? I mean, do you

860
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: guys have names for all these other entities that you're doing.

861
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: I know, we just heard the name of the restaurant,

862
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 1: which is not grow. What is it called again? Rooted? Rooted?

863
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: Which I love? That was a great and that was

864
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: a great name. Rooted is a really good name. And

865
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: because you're growing there and all that, it just makes

866
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 1: sense right where we're gonna go eat at Rooted. I

867
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 1: mean we're gonna go. They got the best food anyways,

868
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 1: They cook it right, they make it right there. Yeah,

869
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 1: So is there like something is there names already for

870
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: the flower and everything else that you guys are trying

871
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 1: to push out. So again, my friend business partner, he's

872
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: a third generation grower. He's been growing the plan for

873
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: thirty plus years. He's a hen understands a plant at

874
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: like at the DNA structure, I mean, he genetics. He's

875
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,879
Speaker 1: always constantly hunting for things, and he has his own

876
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: strains now that he names and all that. So we've

877
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: got some ideas out there, but we all want to

878
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: make sure that all our employees are involved. Right our

879
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: employees have kind of kind of feeling of having ownership

880
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: because they will. We're setting up an employee share ownership

881
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: program for all of our employees, so we'd like to

882
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: see them get involved and start naming some of the

883
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,919
Speaker 1: strains as well. So we haven't picked them all just yet.

884
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 1: We got some ideas out there. We got ideas for

885
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: packaging as well, but I think we're gonna have some

886
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:28,320
Speaker 1: pretty unique names within our strains out there that we're developing.

887
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 1: I really love this concept and I think it's going

888
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 1: to be great for the community out there, even for

889
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: people that are going to school right now trying to

890
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: get their degrees and you know under a cannabis they

891
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: can come and help you. Yeah, this is the biggest thing.

892
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: Like I said, when I first read the press release,

893
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: I was in awe with this and to even meet

894
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 1: you in person and to see that this concept is

895
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,399
Speaker 1: actually coming true and it's already breaking ground and doing

896
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 1: what it's going to happen. I cannot wait to go

897
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: out there and visit it and see how this is

898
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 1: going to change social environments in different states, because they

899
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,399
Speaker 1: need to be able to incorporate some type of things

900
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: like this. But you know what's weird to me though,

901
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: is that why is it such a game changer? You know,

902
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: it's like because no one's thinking out of the box

903
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 1: like this. Yeah, you gotta wander like why, you know,

904
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: why aren't people taking care of their employees more? Right?

905
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: Why aren't people caring more about the planet? Right? Why

906
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 1: aren't people looking at this plan for what it really

907
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 1: is and what can really do and how it can

908
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 1: change lives? You know, the sustainable plan. I mean it's

909
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 1: it's it's better for a carbon footprint. I mean there's

910
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: so much to it. Well, it's hard to do to

911
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: that concept, say in southern California, right, So You couldn't

912
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: build what he's building in LA you know, I mean,

913
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: you gotta go to Santa Barbara, you gotta go to

914
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,399
Speaker 1: the Ie. You can't just build what he's wanting to do. Well,

915
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: you can if you if you're rolling it out on

916
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 1: a on a you know, top golf level. Absolutely you

917
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:45,760
Speaker 1: can build that right now in downtown LA and probably

918
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 1: crush it better than anywhere I think it would. It would.

919
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 1: It might hurt some of the smaller guys, but but

920
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 1: for sure I would take a date there right now. No,

921
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: you take a date there, But it would cost you,

922
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: you know, twenty times the amount to build it, and

923
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: you know, and to buy that land. I mean, you

924
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 1: could do it, but it's to be profitable in you know,

925
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,840
Speaker 1: Los Angeles compared to he's three hours outside of Chicago,

926
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: so it's you know, the suburbs, like you don't have

927
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: to do the suburbs here. My point is, it's it's

928
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: a it's a very expensive, beautiful concept, but you have

929
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:17,959
Speaker 1: to do it in a place where you were able

930
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: to bank on that. You know, you're getting a bunch

931
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 1: of tourisms there. That's on the outskirts of the metropolitan

932
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 1: busiest area, which is Chicago, so you know, it's a

933
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 1: hard concept to do in the bigger city. Carla's expensive

934
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: project bottom line in Illinois would cost us three times

935
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 1: the amount. Right in New York it would cost us five, six, seven,

936
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: ten times the amount, right, Miami, California, you name it.

937
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: But take the money concept out of it. There's still

938
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 1: a lot of things that I don't understand that cannabis

939
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 1: companies aren't doing yet today, right, or thinking outside of

940
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 1: the way, and maybe the consider restricted right. Sure, municipalities

941
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: are saying, no, we don't want public consumption, right, there's

942
00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: they're saying. And if you do a public consumption like

943
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 1: high it, don't let anybody see it. Don't You can't

944
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 1: eat there, you can't. You can't do it here, you

945
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: can't do like, what the hell do I do it that? Hey?

946
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,240
Speaker 1: Can you? Like? Like, alcohol sales would be a fraction

947
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 1: of what they are right now. If you had to

948
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 1: only drink at home, yes, right, If you had to

949
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:17,320
Speaker 1: buy liquor to take home and drink like you couldn't

950
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: drink at a concert or a sporting event or a

951
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 1: restaurant or a bar, there would be no alcohol sales. Yeah,

952
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,919
Speaker 1: I mean, and and and in my opinion, it's like, look,

953
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 1: we're going to a concert. We're gonna smoke. You know.

954
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 1: It's like and it's it's been happening since been's happening,

955
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:36,800
Speaker 1: been since been happening. You know. This isn't from you know, uh,

956
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 1: you know going back to uh, you know, anytime and

957
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 1: forever in the day the guys that are running our

958
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: country were at those same uh you know, oh yeah,

959
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 1: everyone started smoking and drinking it and so why why

960
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: stop it? Right, Let's just be honest. It's happening. You know,

961
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 1: it's so weird. Yeah, for those that are listening, we're

962
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: just having these headphones like like like I feel like

963
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 1: our brother Pitt is messing with us spookily, like it's

964
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 1: just so weird. Luckily he ain't mess with me. I

965
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 1: can't take it to Well, here's what I hear your

966
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 1: head rule. Here's the new rule. You're going to be

967
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: plugged into ours too for now one so you can

968
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: hear everything we're hearing. So that's your new job. Yeah,

969
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: we got to get at extension that big edgar. As

970
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: we mentioned concerts and stuff, and I didn't hear what

971
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:26,959
Speaker 1: you say. You said it couldn't hold you know, the big,

972
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 1: big concerts like we've seen of course at the Super Bowl,

973
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:33,479
Speaker 1: Rihanna style. But what type of capacity are you guys

974
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: building there? What is it? Three five hundred? What are

975
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: we looking at? Thousand? Yeah, so the capacity of the

976
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:40,880
Speaker 1: of the space now, the the indoor space and the

977
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 1: connecting space to it is about four hundred. Okay that

978
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 1: that that call it twenty thousand square feets about four hundred.

979
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:49,919
Speaker 1: Then the events space where the concert at the little

980
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: the little stage is at that's about an acre and

981
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: a half. So you can fit a good, you know,

982
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 1: thousand people in there if you wanted to make it tight.

983
00:48:57,960 --> 00:48:59,839
Speaker 1: But I'd rather keep it a little bit more into

984
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: it right, keep it sold that. They're like, you can

985
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 1: still do a good, nice show there. You can bring

986
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: a good artist there and you know, make on a

987
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 1: hire and ticket or if you have plug and you

988
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: get the right price. Yeah, that's the key too. But

989
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: we're also member we're also going to have the cultivation

990
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 1: facility right there, so you gotta always be thinking about

991
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 1: security and traffic and all these things. We want to

992
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: be neighborly. Time will tell if Rihanna wants to come

993
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: out and play Rihanna, come on out. Yeah, you can

994

Speaker 1: just want to go visit that that are the celebrity

996
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 1: status anyway to just go and hang out. I mean,

00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 1: hundred people, you know, and and and you know, it's

999
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 1: it's beautiful and the I Heart Studios there's a lot

1000
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: of intimate crowds that happen one hundred people there. It's

1001
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: it's very instantly when we come out and bring somebody

1002
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: out there for him. We just do our own little thing.

1003
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:49,800
Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna bite to dance on stage. That'll

1004
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 1: be won't be the first time. It'll be nice. We

1005
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 1: can bring too short to come out there with us

1006
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 1: and come on out there and do something there. You know.

1007
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 1: Um listen, the thought process is, you know, and the

1008
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: this is up to you totally, it to you out

1009
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 1: if it's something you can disclose or not. But you know,

1010
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:06,839
Speaker 1: what does something like this cost? I mean, what does

1011
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: this build out costing you guys? Ten million? Ten million? Yeah,

1012
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:13,879
Speaker 1: So we we broke the we broke the fundraise down

1013
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 1: into two different phases. Phase one for again the retail

1014
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: and the hospitality components is three million, and the bigger

1015
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: cap as is the seven million for the full cultivation facility. Gotcha, yeah, yeah,

1016
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 1: I have some good money there one. Yeah, it's it's

1017
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: not cheap, probably because I keep changing my mind on stuff.

1018
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, man, no, why don't we make this

1019
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 1: room bigger? Why don't we like make a private dining room?

1020
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 1: Right exactly. But at the end of the day, though, um,

1021
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 1: you know, we want people that to come out and say, Okay,

1022
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,440
Speaker 1: this feels like ten million, this feels like twenty million,

1023
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: this feels like better, and you know, the city and

1024
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 1: Moskeegan and the cannabis consumers and the community, you know,

1025
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:55,720
Speaker 1: deserve this. So we didn't want to cut any corners.

1026
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: And he said, Okay, I'm sure it's going to be beautiful, Edgar.

1027
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:01,359
Speaker 1: I can't wait to go to check that out. Fieldscannery

1028
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 1: dot com is the website. We want to do the

1029
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: high five with you, Edgar, as we like to do

1030
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 1: with all the guests that come on the show. So

1031
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 1: question number one, how old are the first time you

1032
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 1: smoked cannabis? I'm sure it was in Chicago and where

1033
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 1: did you get it from? Boy, I had to be

1034
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 1: somewhere between thirteen and fourteen, and I'm sure it was

1035
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,399
Speaker 1: one of my neighbors. I was always the one kid

1036
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 1: that wanted to hang out with the eighteen year olds

1037
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 1: and nineteen year olds and stuff like that. So, um,

1038
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 1: you know, back then, I'm fifty two years old right now,

1039
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 1: Back then, you look good. You look real good. I

1040
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 1: didn't think you're you're older than me, geez. I thought

1041
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 1: I was older than you, and I thought I looked good.

1042
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,320
Speaker 1: Fifty three this year, and give a shout out. I

1043
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:49,440

1046
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: that's there's an old scene right there, says you're thirteen.

1047
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 1: I'll give you some type of thing about it. We're thirteen,

1048
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:05,720
Speaker 1: you're going thirteen miles an hour, right, and then you're fifteen,

1049
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:08,359
Speaker 1: you're going fifteen. When you're twenty, you're going twenty miles

1050
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 1: an hour. Then you're you're forty, you're going forty miles

1051
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 1: an hour. Then you're fifty and you're going huh, what

1052
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:20,240
Speaker 1: do you say? So they got great names, right, so

1053
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 1: so to my kids. My daughter's name is Apolonia. No way,

1054
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,240
Speaker 1: is that from the Prince movie? Is not. My father's

1055
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 1: name is Apolono. It's with an o at the end,

1056
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:31,879
Speaker 1: so she's Apologia. Um we call her Appy. And then

1057
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:36,400
Speaker 1: my son's name is Marcello at that comes from my

1058
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 1: friend of my wife's that she was in the neighborhood.

1059
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly, but that's where the name comes from. Um. So,

1060
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:46,919
Speaker 1: then the grandkids go from Serafino, who we call Finn right,

1061
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 1: and then CoA and CooA comes from his father, who

1062
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:54,319
Speaker 1: loves to work with wood. He's made guitars and furniture

1063
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 1: and skateboards and all of that, and the great names

1064
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 1: all of them so far. And then the baby who

1065
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 1: is just about fifteen months old. Sixteen months old is

1066
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 1: Sunny River. And let me tell you where these names

1067
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 1: come from. So ageah, My daughter, her husband's a mycologists.

1068
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:13,919
Speaker 1: They're mushroom cultivators, herbalists of course, free spirit. They got

1069
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 1: a farm about two hours west of Chicago where they

1070
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 1: raise everything that they eat. They forage for stuff. They

1071
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,760
Speaker 1: raise all mushrooms, all kinds of mushrooms are fun ones,

1072
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 1: gourmet ones, they you know, you name it, so they're

1073
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 1: free birthing hippie. So these names come from that. And

1074
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 1: not only that, but your kids names are unbelievable as well.

1075
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 1: So they just followed suit and took it to the

1076
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 1: next level. Of my opinion, what's weird is like when

1077
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,840
Speaker 1: when when I got into the cannabis business side of things,

1078
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, I started learning new words like normalization and stigmas, destigmatized,

1079
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:50,919
Speaker 1: and like I didn't understand where all these words were

1080
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 1: coming from, Like what's not normal about this? You know?

1081
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 1: And my kids are the same way. They're like, what

1082
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: do you mean the stigma? Like this is what's Yeah,

1083
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 1: it's we do. Yeah, it's like we do. So I

1084
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 1: don't understand, like sometimes we overuse these words when we're

1085
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:09,360
Speaker 1: actually defending the plant too much. You know. It's like, hey,

1086
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:12,399
Speaker 1: it's been normal in my life for a long time,

1087
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:14,360
Speaker 1: it's been normal in my kid's life, and it's going

1088
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,359
Speaker 1: to be normal in my grandkid's life. So I don't

1089
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 1: understand what this normalization is, but I'm glad to be

1090
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: a part of it. I'm happy to be being like

1091
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 1: contributing to it. Yeah, sure, sure, glad you guys came exactly.

1092
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 1: So question number two of the High five, what is

1093
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 1: your favorite way to use or smoke cannabis flower? I'm

1094
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:37,720
Speaker 1: a smoker. Yeah, I'm a smoker, just an a joint

1095
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:40,440
Speaker 1: and and that's actually a dying art. But I still

1096
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: like to roll them. And my business partner, Frank Corey

1097
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 1: always says that, um yeah, because at the end, when

1098
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:49,759
Speaker 1: you're done with it and it's really good flower, you

1099
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 1: still got that flavor and that taste sticking to your fingers, right,

1100
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 1: So I like to break it down by hand. I

1101
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:57,799
Speaker 1: like to roll it off. I like to smoke it

1102
00:54:57,880 --> 00:54:59,919
Speaker 1: that way. Yeah, that's smell in your finger, that smell.

1103
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 1: But just yeah, yeah, And when you get something really good,

1104
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 1: you know, right because if your phone rings and you

1105
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 1: can't even answer it because your fingers are so sticky,

1106
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:10,200

1129
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:33,840
Speaker 1: back when I was like around that fourteen fifteen age, Um,

1130
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 1: I don't remember what I got arrested for, maybe curfew

1131
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:39,799
Speaker 1: or something, but I got arrested bull shit. One. By

1132
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:42,280
Speaker 1: the way, if you got arrested for curfew, that just sucks.

1133
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: It's okay, your shout too late, come on, you a right,

1134
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 1: But they used to do that. You know it still happens. Yeah,

1135
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 1: eleven o'clock, you gotta be home, Like why, I've never

1136
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 1: heard of anybody, but I'm sure it happens. I know

1137
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 1: they were trying to do Murphy's law or whatever it

1138
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 1: was called. And what's really bullshit is that I got

1139
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 1: arrested for curfew, but not for weed. Because what happened

1140
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 1: was I'm in the back of the cop car and

1141
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 1: I'm a handcuff, my hands are behind me, and the

1142
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:11,399
Speaker 1: officers talking to another officer. So I remember I had

1143
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 1: weed in my pocket, and I'm like, shit, like I'm

1144
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:15,840
Speaker 1: going to get arrested for this. I got to do something.

1145
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 1: So I was a lot thinner back then. I actually

1146
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 1: got my hands underneath my legs, around my feet back

1147
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 1: up to my pocket, took it out and it was

1148
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 1: going to throw it away right away, and I'm like,

1149
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:30,360
Speaker 1: maybe I should just eat it. So I didn't have

1150
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 1: the craziest place I ever spoke with, the craziest place

1151
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 1: I've ever consumed cannabisiness and I was actually able to

1152
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: like eat it and then throw the baggie down, get

1153
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 1: my hands back around my feet and behind my back

1154
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:48,400
Speaker 1: and never got caught. But the next day, the police

1155
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 1: officer shows up at my house because they cleaned their

1156
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 1: cars after every single shift. They go in and check

1157
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:55,920
Speaker 1: him and clean him and all that, and he finds

1158
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 1: the baggie and he comes over and knocks on the door.

1159
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 1: We're smoking weed in there. So I'm behind the screen

1160
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 1: door and you know, offers there's like, hey, Edgar, nobody

Speaker 1: that that was a pretty crazy story. It was fun

1166
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: so that I didn't smoke in the back of a

1167
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 1: cop car, but I did eat some in the back

1168

Speaker 1: had some corn that exactly what I'm saying, corn nuts.

1204
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:15,919
Speaker 1: So it ended up. So that was my eating experience,

1205
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:17,720
Speaker 1: you know, you know, and not in the back of

1206
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:19,440
Speaker 1: a cup car. But I would probably would have ended

1207
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 1: up in the back of a cup car had I not. Yeah,

1208
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 1: the mess up Hart is like, I you know, I

1209
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 1: grew up not not you know, I grew up in

1210
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:29,520

1211
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 1: and we were wealthy by any stretch of imagination. But

1212
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: if that would have happened on the South Side of Chicago,

1213
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:36,840
Speaker 1: I would have been arrested. I wouldn't been in jail,

1214
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 1: I would have been, you know, dealing with the things

1215
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:41,400
Speaker 1: that unfortunately a lot of other people had to deal

1216
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 1: with in this war and war on drugs. Right, um,

1263
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:20,080

1267
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:29,480

1268
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:31,680
Speaker 1: talk more, she can laugh. Oh, she's funny. She was

1269
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 1: hot back in the day two. It's the young pictures ever,

1270
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:36,120
Speaker 1: I just I want to get high with the older

1271
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:38,080
Speaker 1: Betty White. Oh me too, don't get the older one

1272
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:40,320
Speaker 1: is the one that I find to be u the

1273
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:42,280
Speaker 1: most entertaining. Granted because we didn't go up with her.

1274
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 1: Make sure she has a Snickers bar, yeah exactly. It

1275
01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 1: might be a PI yeah, you might get tackled. Yeah,

1276
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 1: so she was fun. She did fun commercials. Say she's

1277
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:53,800
Speaker 1: just so down right. You know who was the big

1278
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:56,720
Speaker 1: brother that tackled during the commercial? Was that a I

1279
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,280
Speaker 1: forget who? Yeah, that was a good one, Goldie, though,

1280
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:01,400
Speaker 1: you're right, and there's somebody else that was on your mind?

1281
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 1: Who was it? Who was it? Non celebrity wise, it

1282
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:06,880
Speaker 1: would probably be my father in law rest in peace,

1283
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 1: no longer with us. He had a tough time, not

1284
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:12,280
Speaker 1: a tough time in life, but a tough time because

1285
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 1: he had a raise His son was the oldest, and

1286
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:17,760
Speaker 1: then he had to raise three daughters, including my wife,

1287
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:19,920
Speaker 1: and live in that house. But he didn't smoke, and

1288
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 1: I think he would have really loved it. And he

1289
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 1: didn't smoke because it wasn't legal. I think that's what

1290
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 1: I'm guessing on right But the fact that it's legal

1291
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 1: right now he made because my mother in law did.

1292
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 1: And our cannabis infused dinner party we did one time,

1293
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:36,320
Speaker 1: we'd had our normal Christmas gathering with the family and

1294
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 1: the mother in law got into the infused butter and

1295
01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 1: she just laughed, started dancing exactly, started doing a Super

1296
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 1: Bowl shuffle. So I think he was so good. Oh man,

1297
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 1: is there anything good that we forgot that you want

1298
