33
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: It was just like the worst cannabis I've seen since, like,

34
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: you know, the nineties, and when they had the brick weed,

35
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: you know, and I was like, damn, dude, that's just horrible.

36
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: And then we pulled the pop on and they put

37
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: it in the pop and they're like hit it and

38
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, I'll try, and and it turned

39
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: that boof into something special. It just tasted amazing. I've

40
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: heard that it still wasn't great weed, you know, but

41
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: the chirpeines made it taste more amazing. It was fresh man.

93
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: I'm like, what are you doing? And they were talking

94
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: chopping like Court's got the new dispensary out in Corona,

95
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: we gotta funk with blah blah bla blah blah. I'm like,

96
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: that is so random and weird. And now Court, you're

97
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: here with us on Canada's Talk one oh one. So

98
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: it's great to face time you see you do business

99
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: with you. Tell me you're Ernie. First of all, where

100
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: are you from? And how you started fucking dispensary and

101
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: beautiful Corona, California. Man, you know it's funny because our

102
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: journey here in California started with um, you know, Solar

103
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: Home Improvement doors and windows. We were we were slinging

104
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: that Yeah, yeah, we were slinging that ship about ten

105
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: years ago plus. You know, um we started win that

106
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: getting was good before it really got saturated. Obviously, Joe

107
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: worked on you with some of our marketing and stuff

108
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: that we did. You know, those mailers with those free iPads. Man,

109
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: it gets a phones ringing, and that's where we were at. So, uh,

110
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: you know, backtrack ten years ago, that's when I met

111
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: this cat chat. He actually ran one of our band

112
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: crews knocking doors, generating leads at our trade shows and stuff.

113
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: He was one of our original employees at our Solar

114
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: Home improvement company that we had in the heart of Corona,

115
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: and um, right about we had some transitioning stuff to

116
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: where we started really getting multifaceted in the home improvement world.

117
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: But it's really kind of a dying breed if you will.

118
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: You know, it's really oversaturated. Everybody was undercutting everybody. You

119
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: experience that, Joe, you know, you signed up with us,

120
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: then you went shop Solar City and a couple of

121
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: other people. The next thing you know, it's just what's

122
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: the best price, race to the bottom. All the same

123
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: across the board in terms of financing the nutshell, but

124
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: you know it's really a race to the bottom. You know,

125
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: what's the cheapest I can get for the best production.

126
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: You know, that's going to earn my business. You know.

127
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: So when we started watching California come online with the

128
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: recreational market, we were looking at a couple of desert

129
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: cities and you know, uh, Chad Miller over here, you know,

130
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: he came in. He's like, bro, put some money in cannabis,

131
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: see where it's at. And I said, you know what,

132
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: let's look at it. Let's look at it from a

133
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: business perspective, you know, because I mean, this guy's been

134
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: in it for a long time, goes way back before

135
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: the red market, not to stereotyping. But long story short,

136
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: behind Jack in the Box Crown Town. So so I said,

137
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: you know, here's what we're gonna do. We nailed down

138
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: the city and our first city was Palm Springs that

139
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: we kind of picked out. I said, let's submit an

140
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: I'll put it together front of money, see where it goes.

141
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: We were the very first recreational license issued from the

142
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: city of Palm Springs back and what I mean by

143
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: that just to clarify the state, but all the other

144
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: licensed shops that were operational at the time were the

145
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: o G collectives. So we were the new kid on

146
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: the block. Many new rules, new process. We went through

147
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: that streamline it flawlessly, and that was got started. So

148
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: like when we got that license, I told him, I said, hey,

149
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: we get a license in cannabis, forget about solar, and

150
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: we did. I literally shut my company down almost overnight,

151
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: turned over the operations to a couple of our installers

152
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: because at one time we had about eighties staff in

153
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: my solar company. I mean we were a very large

154
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: capacity volume dealer for sales, marketing and finance for home improvement.

155
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: And we decided, hey, you know what, singing song and

156
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: dance every single day, dealing with upset homeowners every single day,

157
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: what's it done? Was it done? I want to sell

158
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: something happy every single day. And like the work and

159
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: the money that we put forward creates a difference in

160
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: somebody's life and not just saving money on their electricity bill.

161
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: So here we are. So the very first shot we

162
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: landed in Palm Springs. We were the very first one.

163
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: Like Chad mentioned, we were the third annual license issued

164
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: shot from the state of California. When they were just

165
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: and and people asked, well, how did you do it?

166
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: How did you It's like, well, it's it's process and permitted,

167
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: you know, it's what we were doing for the last

168
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: ten years. It was just for solar and rooftops. It

169
00:08:55,400 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: wasn't for cannabis. So once somebody fundamentally can understand the

170
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: local processes for permitting and how to get through the

171
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: building departments because that's where a lot of people bottle neck,

172
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:13,599
Speaker 1: it was an easy thing for us. We had the relationship,

173
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: so it was it was a plug and play model

174
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: for us. And we're like, all right, what are we

175
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: gonna call ourselves? And so our first are very very

176
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: first shop that we built was called Leaf Industries and

177
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: it was the second um acquisition from True Leaf Cannabis

178
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: Corps out of Florida, the big mso that everybody kind

179
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: of talked about. They bought us, and it was nice.

180
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 1: It was a nice pad, it was a nice paid

181
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: eight you know, and we can't talk specifics, but um,

182
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, it really got it really got the idea

183
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: of saying, hey, you know, what there's a space in

184
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: this for us. We just got to really find it out.

185
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: You know, what is it? What are we here to do?

186
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: And um, you know, obviously pandemic and stuff hit recently

187
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: and and it really kind of slowed the processes down

188
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: for some of the other their areas were interesting, but

189
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: you know, here we are. We landed this corona. Congratulations,

190
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: thank you, big feet, and the first and the only

191
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: one till this day, probably the only one this year.

192
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: I'll tell you a little bit about it. So when

193
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: the ranking came out about sixteen seventeen months later after

194
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: we submitted the app, one of the city officials and

195
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: I will not say his name, but he stood up

196
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: with a very close ceremonies all twelve of us that

197
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: on one, and he said, none of you will be

198
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: open this year, mark my works. And I thought that

199
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: was very interesting. I'll pulled you outs, like he doesn't

200
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: know us, And so I pulled him aside and said, listen, bro,

201
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: I don't know why you think. And this was in

202
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: March of this year. I said, I don't know why

203
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: you think none of us will be open this year.

204
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: He's like, well, there's too much to do, there's no

205
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: way you're going to navigate through the entire process from

206
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: the city level of state, new city, new regulations, to

207
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: actually train. I said, watch us, and I don't mean

208
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: to sound air watch us. Yeah, that's what you have

209
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: to do, is be the way we get through the

210
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: finish line in the City's like, these guys are ready

211
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: to open, What the hell do we do it? Literally

00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: that and here we are. We opened on the We

213
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: did a soft opening, the very first one across we have, um,

214
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, based on the feedback we got, we have

215
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: about a four to six month head start from the

216
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: next person in line getting ready to open. So we're

217
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: kind of landlocked Corona. There's not another shot between us

252
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: really one of those scenarios to where we broke the

253
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: stigma when people walk through the doors are like, oh wait,

254
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: where's the trap shop? Well this isn't you know. We

255
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: get interactive prop sea and coming and take pictures talking

256
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: to them, you know, be a little bit more interactive,

257
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: you know, more of an experience you know when you

258
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: come down. And that's that's a little different than like,

259
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: you know, we we partnered up with our our boys

260
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: at Heavy Hitters because keep in mind, we've been in

261
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: a thing for four and a half years, so a

262
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: lot of these big brands, we were one of the

263
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: very first shelves they were on. Even though you may

264
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: not have heard of us, we had that relationship. We

265
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: were there and we helped them grow in that corner

266
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: that we were in in this industry. So like, you know,

267
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: Chad said, some of the prop will talk a little

268
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: bit about it. We have a five foot giant pre

269
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: roll and a three foot lighter in our show room

270
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: that's magnetic. You can take off, take us on Instagram,

271
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: look at it. It's it's just really kind of creating

272
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: more of like, hey, get your weeding, get out. It's like, no,

275
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: the counter. And you know, it's it's really kind of

276
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: creating that that gap difference of you know, just being

277
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: a customer and a number versus why did you come

278

339
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: that really works. I'll tell you something even more full

340
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: circle as as a part time job I gave to

341
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,600

00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: Should you not? I took that lead. I ran that

346
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: beat down to rs M because we had some stuff

347
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,199

349
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: what we do. I put more numbers on the board

350
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: than any sales guy that I've ever hired and he

351
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: looks he's pretty yo. He's the one who knocked the

352
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: lead up the other day. I mean that was his job.

353
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 1: He put the leads on the board. We confirmed him,

354
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: we ran him, you know. And so between him and I,

355
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: we know how to make the phones drink. Yeah, you know,

356
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: and that's what we did. But yes, sir, that's how

357
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: we crossed past. And when I met you, you were

358
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: at Triple A. Yeah, you were at Trip A. That's yeah.

359
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: We had the same transition almost at the exact same time.

360
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: And it's just it's just my kidnapped him. Yeah, what

361
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: are you doing over there doing that credit card process?

362
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,000

Speaker 1: you back in my life. This is up for renewal

364
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: if you're interested, Bro, what's we're licensed for registration on

365
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: my car service for you can't even help you with that.

366
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: I'll definitely make you appreciate. So now we know delivery

367
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: services gonna happen there. It's a beautiful storefront, it sounds like,

368
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 1: and I love the fact that you're right. You're there

369
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: to help out tons of other products. Does Flower Co

370
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: have their own brands or just a bunch of other brands.

371
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: You know, at the end of the day, I feel

372
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: like there's a lot of brands available in today's market,

373
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: a lot of ones that we grew with in the

374
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: marketplace that I've just done a bang up job being prominent,

375
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: and they deserve that, um, you know, respect the most.

376
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: So for us, our position isn't to sponsor our own

377
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: brand and let Flower Kobe known as like the best flower,

378
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: the best vape carders. We don't claim to be manufacturers,

379
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be and we're gonna be the one

380
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: style shop to where if you're looking for dissy you're

381
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 1: plug and play, or you're looking for some you know,

382
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: top shelf. We have that you don't see ABC liquor

383
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: stores down the street making their own vodka. They sell

384
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 1: stories and they sell gray Goose and everything in between.

385
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,959
Speaker 1: Four reason because we're appealing to the masses. So the

386
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: difference between us in terms of our brand as a

387
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: store versus anybody else, we have the history, so nine

388
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: times out of ten we have some really good buying

389
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: power and we have some really good pricing from the

390
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: friendly neighbor, so we're able to be competitive in that space.

391
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: There's no reason try to market Flower co as your

392
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 1: next best top show. You know, we would rather partner

393
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: and we'll we'll talk a little bit about some of

394
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 1: our partnerships and collaborations we do from our brand, you know,

395
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: to to kind of spread the word. But at the

396
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: end of the day, if you're looking for anything and

397
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: everything that's relevant in this space, you'll probably find it

398
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 1: on ourselves. I like that about you guys, you know.

399
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's it's it's you know. And

400
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: and here's the I don't mind the dispensary owner having

401
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: his own brand, but you know that they're gonna push

402
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: for their own brand, right obviously, And and so you

403
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: know that the the other guys may not have the

404
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: best fair shot inside of your store. With that being sad,

405
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: you know, and I and I and like, I'm not

406
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,719
Speaker 1: gonna have the best placement. Yeah, they're not gonna get

407
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: the best placement. They're not gonna get the the you know,

408
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: the the bud tenders are gonna be taught to teach

409
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: about their brand, your brand first, right because the best

410
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: margins probably be with with thirst, so that that makes sense.

411
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: And I appreciate that about you. And I'll tell you

412
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 1: what guys, I think that you you two are are

413
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: very unique. You know, you guys come in and you know,

414
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: and I know you guys are businessmen first, right, you

415
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: understand business, you know because I know how to put

416
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: butts and seats as well, and I know how to

417
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: make phone drink. I've done it quite a bit of it,

418
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: you know. And and marketing isn't as easy for everybody

419
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: as it maybe come for you guys, because you have

420
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: your own business. The conversion, you know, coming over to

421
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: this space obviously you've exited already once made some money. Great,

422
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 1: you know, uh is is that you're expecting the volume

423
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: um from that store to you know, do what kind

424
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: of volume this year? You know? I mean, sure you

425
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: guys put some kind of numbers, some kind of vision

426
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: and a board in front of you. What do you

427
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:16,479
Speaker 1: guys think? You know, Uh, it's it's it's really you know.

428
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,959
Speaker 1: You know, at the end of the day, you get

429
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: what you put in. And I can tell you right now,

430
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: when it came to painting the walls, when it came

431
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 1: to putting the trim up and selling the TVs, we

432
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: didn't hire no contractor. Who's me and chat yea and

433
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: and you know at the end of the day. So

434
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: it's a lot of blood, sweat and tears, you know,

435
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 1: lack thereof for terminology, but you know, we're boots on

436
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: the ground, and that's that's what really makes the difference

437
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: of us getting open today versus next year. There's no

438
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: corporate team or board members that we got to answer to.

439
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, you need ten thousand dollars for this, Well,

440
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: guess what, it's me who's writing that check, you know. So,

441
00:22:55,600 --> 00:23:00,040
Speaker 1: So in terms of being able to be agile and

442
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: and um adapt to whatever the city's required us to do,

443
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: we're capable of doing that on the fly. And that's

444
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: what separates us. So in terms of volume, My my

445
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: recommendation or my answer to your question for all those

446
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: entrepreneurs out there, be ready to be prepared and and understand,

447
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: but have a good plan, and and understand that that

448
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: good plan you have on paper is gonna get twisted,

449
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,959
Speaker 1: spit up every single day. And instead of getting mad

450
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: and upset about it, you just roll with the punches, because,

451
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: like I told the City of Corona, this is your

452
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: rule book and we're playing by it. And and the

453
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: end result is that but it's very rewarding at the

454
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 1: end of the day, if you can get to that

455
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: finish line, because because I mean a lot of people don't.

456
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: People people don't. Here's where it's they get caught up.

457
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: They get caught up in the permitting process, they get

458
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: caught up in the local rules and my relations and

459
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: and and stay away from all of these consultants telling

460
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: you how great they are and they're gonna get you

461
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: a license into your belt, because that's not true. That

462
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: is not true. Go work in the dispensary, understand the experience,

463
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 1: try to move up or if you're if you got

464
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: the cash flow to do it. Because it's not for

465
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: the faint of heart. Yeah it's not. It's very expensive,

466
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,479
Speaker 1: but just know there there is light at the end

467
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 1: of that tunnel if you can be one of those

468
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: very few that get chosen, especially in Corona. I mean,

469
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 1: it was a race, it was. It's the biggest that's

470
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: such a big city to in my opinion, it's the

471
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: biggest market to open with a limited restriction license in

472
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: the state of California. There's nothing bigger available now, you know,

473
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: so when you look at yeah we opened on the

474
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: twenty four to stop opening. This Saturday is our grand

475
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 1: opening we'll talk about that a minute, but answer your question.

476
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: You make a lot of money doing this if you

477
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: do it right. But don't get it twisted. You're not

478
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: just selling weed to the consumer. You're taking care of

479
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: that customer, and you're making sure that you're not price

480
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: gouging and that you have something for every single person

481
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: that walks through our door, whether you're homeless and you've

482
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 1: got five dollars in your belt, or whether you're it's

581
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: you know, companies. There's Monster was there for many years, right,

Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, there's what's this year that you guys

583
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: are having there on the top right, oh, profile, it's

584
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: actually Skywalker on Blues got the Star Wars Classic was

585
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: actually one of their flagships drains. Their mother died a

586
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. For the last few years they've

587
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: been pheno hunting. They finally found a new mother and

588
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: they's the first release of their Points. And just to

589
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: let you know, we are one of the very few

590
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: dispensaries that carry that brand, that strain Skywalker and they

591
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: did a tribute to Star Wars and I told him

592
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: go ahead, but that put them on the map as

593
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: far as a brand. And so we've we've cultivated that

594
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: relationship where Chad has and as part of his role,

595
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be where we're at today if it wasn't

596
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: for this man here, and I say it holy and

597
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: truly because he's maintained those important relationships with these brands

598
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: and distributors to where as a retailer starting out today

599
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: without those connections, you will fail. So between the buying power,

600
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: the relationships, and just the love that these brands have

601
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: for this man here, we're able to be who we

602
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: are in the city of Corona and launch how we

603
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: are all day, all day because this is a big

604
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: brand right here that you gave me in my box

605
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: right here, this road pin, this is the live rosin

606
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: to the Premier. This is a great quality product right here.

607
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: I mean, but I think you hit it on the nose,

608
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: you know, the nail on the coffin or whatever, because

609
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: when you sit relationships, Man, this industry is definitely about relationships, dude,

610
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: Like you know, it's I always say, this is like, man,

611
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: I've been in this industry for so long, right and

612
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: and you know, I was a backpack boy. I did

613
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: the hockey bags that you know, I graduated into you know,

614
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: doing whatever I was doing. But at the end of

615
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: the day, like you know, a lot of those boys

616
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: aren't here no more, you know, as far as the

617
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: industry goes. And then the ones that have that have

618
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: seen it, they they've popped in and they see you

619
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: here at this event, they see at this event, they

620
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: meet you at you know, um a destro or you

621
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: meet out of this or that. You end up starting

622
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: to build these relationships. And quite frankly, some people don't

623
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: know how to hold on the relationships. They don't care

624
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: about them. Some people are you know, have lifelong friends

625
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: and business partners that they'll be with forever. And this

626
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: industry in particular is about who you know and who

627
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: you who you can trust, because you have to be

628
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: a trusted guy. This TuS to the trusted guy. It's

629
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: a testament to that. You never know when you're gonna

630
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: cross pass again. Yeah. Well, and not only that, and

Speaker 1: So to hear you be praised like that, Chad is

Speaker 1: I met you not knowing that you walked up as

653
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: an owner of a fucking solar company. Dog and I

654
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,120

655
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: other's numbers in our phones from that time. So that

656
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: being said, Dog, you're the same. It's leadership to with friendships.

657

Speaker 1: And I just want to commend you for that and

658
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: not not give you your flowers when you praise your

Speaker 1: boy and and and and to go back to just

660
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: what our relationships start off as on a fluke mail

661
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: out to be conversating here and there. They're there to

662
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: be facetiming with Guess what, it doesn't matter who it is,

663
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: but it's an A list star by the name of Exhibit. Folks,

664
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 1: that face time's me. You know I'm no a list

00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: just you get a FaceTime from a homie, you gotta

669

Speaker 1: to say the the city has granted us and all

693
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: access past the fun and they actually let us block

694
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: off our parking lot and the adjacent parking lot. Here's

695
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: what we got going on on Saturday. We have live

Speaker 1: line way to get on those promo deals, we are

703
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,359

Speaker 1: to bath for us, they said, here's your event permit.

705
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: We're very grateful. We're very excited to introduce our brand

706
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: and to be the first storefront in Corona. But more importantly,

707
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:14,959
Speaker 1: we're gonna pay tribute to it. The writer, Um, there's

708
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 1: a couple of different ones. I cannot think of them,

709
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 1: but I know it's like it's like a local company.

710
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: It was what who was ever available? But in the band,

711
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: the band's a local band. Um, you know it's been

712
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: but but to speak to that, to speak to that

713
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: as well over of our staff that we've hired our

714
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: residents in the city of Corona. We are employing the

715
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: city above living wage. We are making sure that Corona

716
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: not only feels the benefit, but they appreciate the benefits. So,

717
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: speaking of that, what's what's your taxes like there? Do

718
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: they do justice or is it a little crazy? You

719
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: know what's really great about the taxes? It's about a

720
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: seven percent across the board for top line revenue. And

721
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: then there's an additional one sent but let's talk about

722
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: that one percent. So normally U the one percent tax

723
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: goes to the city for whatever events or involvement they

724
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: need or repairs if you will. They're giving us control

725
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: of where that money goes. So check this out. This

726
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: is the first time we have hired a community outreach manager.

727
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,439
Speaker 1: Her entire book of business is to make sure that

728
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: that one percent gets deployed to all the charities and

729
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: nonprofits and stuff that we wanted that we believe in,

730
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: to put it back school sports for whatever. So so

731
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: so we're very grateful to be in control of that.

732
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: And then sorry, does that give you the so so

733
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 1: they give you a list of you know, fifty or

734
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: hun you actually just put together. So we put this

735
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: just I think we interview them impair all that stuff,

736
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 1: but because I think of all the parents that go

737
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: to kids sports for events every week. And I'm at

738

Speaker 1: of soccer, kids soccer, this and that, helping the parks

740
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:10,240
Speaker 1: and putting the dispenser even though they think, oh you're putting,

741
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: but you're helping the parks and all these parents are

742
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: out there. You know how many parents that come up

Speaker 1: his life, you know what I mean. And and it's

747
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,320
Speaker 1: another dad I met at the field was that was

748
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: a baseball field, ironically, and I'm talking soccer right now,

749
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,439
Speaker 1: but my point is sports in general. I'm just giving

752
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 1: I would love to see Corona benefit from the kid

00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,959
Speaker 1: aspect if there's benefit of programs there all day long.

Speaker 1: revenue every single month and put it in the hands

761
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,720
Speaker 1: of those people and and to take it a step

762
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: further to hold true to our testament. At the end

763
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 1: of the first year we're in business, we have to

764
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: present us to the city of everything we did. So

765
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: it's not only put your money where your mouth is showing.

766
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: And and that's extremely important. No Citi has done that.

767
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: They are and and and we're gonna get started in

768
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 1: the right way, and we're gonna let people know that, Hey,

769
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: we're not is here selling cannabis products and here you know,

770
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: making money. It's like, no, we're we're actually a contributing

771
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,959
Speaker 1: member of the community. We have skin in the game,

772
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: and we're here to make sure things get done the

773
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 1: right way and let everybody know in the positive. And

774
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: one thing I want to plug in really quick to

775
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: is you can see some of those jars of flour

776
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: in front of our logo there. We partnered with another

777
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 1: dispensary called the Healing Tree, and um, that's one of

778
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: their brands they created. That's part of an organization is

779
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: called it's it's called The Fight, The Fight Smoker's Club.

780
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: What it does, it's it's because the the owner who

781
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 1: started that, his brother died of fetnel. Oh yes, yes,

782
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: when you get Darren down here, yeah, and and so

783
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: he when he approached us, because I know they got

784
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: a license in Corona too, they're gonna be opening up

785
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 1: a little bit. But I said Yeah, let's create some

786
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:26,879
Speaker 1: unity and let's let's start creating the car drivers. So

787
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: we plugged that in. But but um, every every dollar

788
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 1: of every jar purchased goes to that foundation. But we

789
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 1: got a couple of special Corona tributes skews that we're

790
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 1: doing from us. Not only every dollar goes to fight,

791
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: another dollar to keep the parks fleen so that the

792
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: kids are somewhere to go and hang out. So yeah,

793
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: I love that. When he was talking about rolling that out, um,

794
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: you know, they were getting ready to do uh party

795
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: or something for it, and I don't think he I

796
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: think he end up doing it, but for different one

797
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: of his locations, I think Nelson or or something like that. Yeah,

798
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:11,720
Speaker 1: but it also it also bridges Yeah, it also bridges

799
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 1: the gap, you know, like letting the community know saying, hey,

800
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 1: whether you buy from us or whether you buy from

801
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: another dispensary down the street, there's some unity, you know,

802
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 1: like like we're in it for the same reason. We're

803
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: in it to sell good product in the community and

804
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,919
Speaker 1: give back and create awareness that's deserved. And I think

805
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of spaces in terms of

806
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: cities that are operating with cannabis have kind of lost

807
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: sight of that, and it's been more of like the

808
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: wild West to where it's turf wars of it was like,

809
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: all right, we're opening up, we have the most billboards,

810
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: we have the best spot on weed maps. Who has

811
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: the biggest you know, and it's like, dude like, but

812
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: at the end of the day that that customer is

813
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 1: free to shop wherever they choose to. But if as

814
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: shop owners and operators, if if we can kind of

815
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: come in Unison a little bit and get that message

816
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 1: across saying, hey, whether you buy from us or buy

817
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 1: from them, it's gonna be a good product at a

818
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: good price, and we're also giving back to the community

819
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: you live in. I think it's a great message and

820
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: also set standards I mean, with with each other. You know.

821
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: It's just like, you know, we know who the bad

822
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: actors are. You know, we know the guys, and and

823
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty easy to spot, you know when when

824
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: you've been here long enough, you know, because you start

825
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: dealing with certain companies and they don't take care of

826
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,959
Speaker 1: their business, you know, and it's sad. And I think

827
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 1: by communicating with the other stores and other you know,

828
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: the other you know, people in the community. You guys

829
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,439
Speaker 1: can not gouge each other for pricing. You guys could

830
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 1: have conversations about, hey, guys, let's set a standard, you know,

831
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: amongst this, and you're you're always gonna have that one

832
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: cowboy that's gonna be like, no, I'm gonna do what

833
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that you might still have

834
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 1: my world. But I think if the masses all kind

835
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 1: of follow suit, you guys could also you know, keep

836
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 1: the market where it should be and and be fair

837
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: to your your customers and and get a great, you

838
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 1: know response from the whole community. And not only that

839
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,359
Speaker 1: Blue When you really look at flower Coat, what you

840
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: guys are doing in Corona, you're leading the country as

841
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:11,280
Speaker 1: far as having a scenario where you get to choose

842
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: what you do with that one percent. Dude, your company

843
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: is going to be looked at as a leader in

844
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: the industry. So there's a lot of pressure kind of

845
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 1: and I'm excited for you meet you. I want to

846
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: hear ready this. I want to follow up after that

847
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: first month, and I would like us to be an

848
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: outlet of what is that money being used for Corona

849
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: to let us use that because people the first expense

850
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: is going to be the pickleball courts in the City

851
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: of Corona. They need paint. Sherwin Williams turned them down.

852
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I don't care. Parks and came

853
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: to us in store during our soft opening and said, hey,

854
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: we have a problem. I said, great, how can we

855
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: fix it? So they're putting together their budget for paint.

856
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: Obviously it's a part. But at the end of the

857
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: down to go, let's go out there and well, you know,

858
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: you know, well, good, it starts there, it starts there,

859
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: and where does this stop? We don't know. But guess what,

860
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:08,280
Speaker 1: we're really freaking excited about it because as we grow

861
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: and as the Corona community supports our store, that means

862
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,760
Speaker 1: more revenue dollars. That means more money we can take

863
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: and give back and deploy the way that we see necessary.

864
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: And it's not just here's a check, mr, City of Corona,

865
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 1: and deploy it if you will. Nobody knows, but that

866
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 1: bonus that's been nobody knows where, nobody knows, how does

867
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 1: it get distributed from cannadas. Nobody knows all of these

868
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 1: application dollars and and all of the city tax revenue.

869
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:44,839
Speaker 1: There's there's the gouties on blast and you know who

870
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: that's gonna be crazy when you see when this happens,

871
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,760
Speaker 1: every city is gonna come up with, let's see the reports.

872
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: Where's the money. The thing is they don't show it.

873
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: There's they're not there's a lot of it and a

874
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 1: lot of beach right now, and they give a very

875
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 1: big broad answer, you know we did this and that No,

876
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: this is this is our staff putting together the presentation,

877
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:16,840
Speaker 1: the dollars and cents along with all the media, pictures,

878
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 1: sponsorship receipts, invoice, all of the above, saying hey, this

879
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 1: is what we did Corona, and and that's the difference,

880
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,720
Speaker 1: and and and when you have boots on the ground

881
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: as a day to day operator, and with this man

882
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 1: and some of our management staff, which I'm very grateful

883
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 1: for to find because keep in mind, there's not a

884
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 1: single person that works for us that spilled over from

885
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 1: other locations. These are all new people, new jobs in

886
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 1: the city of Corona. And we made short and if

887
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,280
Speaker 1: we went out of the City of Corona's still County

888
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 1: of Riverside all day and and so so we're very

889
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,720
Speaker 1: proud of that. But but when you know six months

890
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:00,080
Speaker 1: from now, three months from now, when when you know

891
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 1: we we put these do you North or Sea? He's Corona. Um,

892
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: you know where I used to run a business. I

893
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: used to run a business in Corona about ten years ago,

894
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: a little longer. That's where our solar company was out

895
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 1: of joke, you know. So so so we we understand

896
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: it and and we see it, and you know, it's

897
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 1: it's a very exciting thing. Um, we're so we're thrilled.

898
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: And I don't think there's another city as they open

899
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 1: up in California that would be set out to do

900
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: with their framework that the city of Corona decided to do.

901
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: And I think it's awesome. Do you know other dispensers

902
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 1: are going to have that same option to do what now?

903
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 1: Now the differences, but the differences how well are they

904
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: going to execute? What skin do they have in the game,

905
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: whether that one percent is just a big giant check

906
00:47:56,239 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: to a nonprofit or whether or whether you got or

907
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: do they get do they get their hands ready to

908
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:05,879
Speaker 1: get in the in the community and everyone does that.

909
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a game changer for Corona, you guys,

910
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: because I believe cities of all angles should do that

911
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 1: locally like that, because I believe that's what cannabis. You're

912
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:18,760
Speaker 1: starting first, you're starting, you're starting in in in probably

913
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 1: one of the lower community areas that need it right

914
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: that it's out there. But if they're still a baller house,

915
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,399
Speaker 1: they got big house, a big match. No, they got

916
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 1: some I didn't mean that. I meant where the you know,

917
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: the pickle ball that you know, the handball courts are right, um,

918
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: you know, everything isn't that closer down towards Main Street.

919
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: Like the feedback, the feedback that we received from the

920
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,319
Speaker 1: city is that we're setting the tone. Yeah, and it's

921
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 1: gonna be a really really hard thing for that second

922
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 1: person in line to come through to see how they

923
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: measure up. And I'm not saying we're gonna be the best.

924
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say we're gonna be good, and we're gonna

925
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 1: be conscious, and we're gonna be that operator that hey all.

926
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 1: And and whether we're number one number two doesn't really

927
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 1: matter as long as we do our job every single

928
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 1: day and the city of Corona and the community members

929
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,880

940
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: this this thing with the fights great. I mean, that's

941
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,279
Speaker 1: the tip of the iceberg for us. Like we have

942
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 1: an entire twelve month community calendar already planned out for

943
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 1: everything we're going to do with the City of Corona

944
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 1: in the different nonprofits. And even before we were open,

945
00:49:56,640 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 1: we were spending sponsorship dollars with another local already, ABC Hopes.

946
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 1: We we we were one of the sponsors for their

947
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: Fireman's Row, which spreads awareness and stuff like that. You know,

948
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:08,320
Speaker 1: they had one of the biggest turnouts this year for it.

949
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 1: So even before we were operational, we decided to throw

950
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 1: some money, you know at those good causes because you know,

951
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: we care. Yeah, so that's that's that's where we're at.

952
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 1: So Chad, tell us a little bit about your role,

953
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 1: because yeah, you haven't had um Chad, right, yeah, tell

954
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 1: us what you're doing over there, and and you know,

955
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you know your your court over here, just

956
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 1: hogging the court. Now. He's well, he's well, he's well

957
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: spoken and andy, and I love hearing everything he said,

958
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 1: by the way, but tell us about what your mission is,

959
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 1: what you're doing operational. So basically, I just throw in

960
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: all the stations I do purchasing and I do day

961
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 1: to day and make sure that all the bearings of

962
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: greased and mcchine has running well. Um. So basically, um,

963
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:56,879
Speaker 1: when he said that I wouldn't do his office back

964
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 1: in the day and told him that we just throw

965
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:02,399
Speaker 1: some money at Canada. That was right. When my mother

966
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:07,320
Speaker 1: had a four pancreatic cancer, Yeah, and she was it

967
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 1: was good luck. They gave her six months to live

968
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 1: and she started doing cannad but she didn't care. She

969
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 1: was smoking it, she was eating it, you know what

970
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 1: I mean. And four and a half years later she

971
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: was still alive. And to me, I was just able

972
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: to see because I've always been a stoner, you know

973
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 1: what I mean, A love smoking, always loves consuming. But

974
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: seeing that aspect really brought to the forefront of this

975
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 1: actually help. It's real medicine and its fucking improus people's

976
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 1: lives and better quality of life for your mom. So

977
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,239
Speaker 1: when when I finally saw that aspect of it, I went,

978
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 1: you know, full speed, do you know everything? You know?

979
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 1: Definitely a passion project for me. I love everything about it.

980
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,280
Speaker 1: You know, it seems like you've got a great partner

981
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 1: here and we're almost like getting yeah, you know, but

982
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:03,840
Speaker 1: we worked really well together, so you know, we're just

983
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 1: completes the buzzle and he makes my job easier and

984
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:10,279
Speaker 1: I do my best to make as it should be. Well,

985
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:16,240
Speaker 1: how's your mom doing? Sorry started here, Well, it doesn't

986
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 1: have a brother still. Yeah, but that was you know,

987
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 1: like I said, when they gave her that six months

988
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 1: to live and I started to getting her some r

989
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 1: THO and stuff like that, and then you know, she

990
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 1: helped her man. She turned out she was smoking. That

991
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 1: must have been fun smoking, I mean, that had to

992
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: be cool. My dad did the same thing. I mean,

993
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 1: he smoked his entire life, but you know, on his deathbed,

994
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 1: you know, he got to a point where he was like, look,

995
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 1: I'm not taking any more of these pills. I'm not

996
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 1: doing this stuff, dude, I'm over it. So he just

997
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: started adjusting cannabis, smoking it, um, you know, you know, everything, rectal, whatevery,

998
00:52:55,840 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 1: whatever he could do she thought would help. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

999
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 1: It's crazy when when that type of story hits you

1000
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 1: like that and from a guy who grew up stone

1001
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:11,919
Speaker 1: or whatever. But then to see the medical aspect, because

1002
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: I look at cannabis strictly medicine as well. I started

1003
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:15,400
Speaker 1: smoking me when I was six years old, for my

1004
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 1: brother was sixteen, right, that's the first time I took

1005
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 1: a tit up a joint and I quit smoking flower

1006
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 1: at the age of six, and then I started using

1007
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 1: a pin when I had an injury. So twenty some

1008
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 1: years of sobriety twenty three to be exact, before I

1009
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 1: decided to even really use cannabis again medically because I

1010
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:34,479
Speaker 1: was so against it in taboo. But seeing and doing

1011
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: this show and learning all about what cannabis really does,

1012
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 1: it's game changer, folks. It's beautiful. It really truly is.

1013
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 1: Because I'm from the aspect of strictly medicine. You want

1014
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: to smoke a joint, God bless you. That joint may

1015
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:50,319
Speaker 1: even be some great medicine you're using at the time.

1016
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: I don't choose to, but I use it. I rub

1017
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,359
Speaker 1: it on me every day. It's under my tongue every day.

1018
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:59,239
Speaker 1: I mean, as crazy as it sounds, I've even filled

1019
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 1: out some paper. Yes, I'm open to using it any

1020
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: other way. And if somebody said using us a pository

1021
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 1: would be the best way to do it all kidding aside,

1022
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 1: I would consider doing it. And it's not crazy silly.

1023
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 1: We just had a sex therapist on the show earlier

1024
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: today and yesterday whatever on another podcast. These are real

00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 1: dad had to do. I'm killing you. I'm contemplating just

1027
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:25,360

00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 1: five what is your favorite way to use or smoke cannabis?

1067
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 1: You know? For me, I got uh. I got three

1068
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 1: babies five and under, so for me, I'm busy. But

1069
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:54,960
Speaker 1: most importantly it's, you know, making sure they don't they

1070
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:57,720
Speaker 1: don't see anything. So I'm a big fan of edibles,

1071
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:00,360
Speaker 1: bro edibles, tinctures. You know. I was saying, my go

1072
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:04,399
Speaker 1: to right now is going to be um CBN mix

1073
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 1: with some THHC some cb D. Puts me down at

1074
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:10,719
Speaker 1: nighttime and and and good night, good rest, so I

1075
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 1: can get up at four o'clock in the morning and

1076
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 1: do it all over again, seven days a week. So

1077
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 1: that's that's it for me. Very discreet, very nice, very mellow,

1078
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 1: and night Mostly like that is that when you consume more,

1079
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 1: you know, thirty forty five minutes before bedtime, when the

1080
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:28,520
Speaker 1: kids are brushing their teeth, get a bath, niceil edible

1082
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 1: We're out. It's a healthy option. It works out about you,

1083
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 1: but probably yeah, just a good old fashioned join the paper,

1084
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with that. What's the craziest place you ever

1085
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 1: used or smoked cannabis? Yeah, for me, it's going to

1086
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 1: be that first time too. It was the garbage corral

1087
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 1: at McDonald's, trying to impress some money. Yeah, man, I

1088
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 1: mean that that was a jump. Didn't have cameras back then.

1089
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes you come into like what the hell are you know?

1090
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:16,440
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you know that. That goes back to

1091
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 1: you know what we're set out to do. You know,

1092
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 1: there's a lot of influence in this world, and it's

1093
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 1: really about making the right choice, and it's okay to

1094
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 1: say no. But yeah, for me, my start, very craziest one,

1095
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 1: absolutely different intentions back there. Yeah, I'm sure we did.

1096
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 1: What about you craziest place on the boomerang. It was

1097

1116
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:56,640

1121
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:09,920
Speaker 1: or live, who would it be and why? Man? My

1122
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 1: go to would be Dave Chappelle. I mean that that cat.

1123
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, not only is he one

1124
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 1: of the funniest people on this planet, he's also one

1125
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:22,440
Speaker 1: of the well educated, and I feel like his material

1126
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 1: gets better the higher he is. To imagine being in

1127
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 1: a room off stage with that guy, it could be

1128
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 1: probably one of the best moments in anybody's life that

1129
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 1: could experience. Dude. Have you seen this new show, the

1130
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:39,280
Speaker 1: new the new one he's doing on Yeah, Well, I

1132
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 1: One of the best shows I've ever seen, dude. I

1133
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 1: mean I literally walked in there, and I don't know

1134
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 1: if you've ever been to the Holly Bowl, but it's

1135
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 1: just just a beautiful setting. Dude. So we're watching that

1136
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle and I literally got a full on messaging,

1137
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 1: you know, which in my mind, helped me produced the

1138
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 1: Burning Trees Festival. The rest of this this team here,

1139
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:08,160

1140
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 1: and all cannabis um, you know, sales and consumption, and

1141
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 1: uh I left that place going I know what I

1142
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 1: need to do. You know, it wasn't just a comics show,

1143
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 1: you know, this was this was a message and one

1144
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 1: of the most makes him the great. Yeah, I mean,

1145
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:27,520
Speaker 1: he's one of the few comics that can walk that

1146
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:31,440
Speaker 1: fine line between what's insulting and what's reality. And and

1147
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 1: he has, for what you said, a message behind a

1148
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 1: lot of it, and it just really kind of you know,

1149
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 1: even though it's it's from a laughing perspective, he still

1150
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 1: kind of opens your mindset to the other side of things.

1151
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:46,600
Speaker 1: And he owns a ship. I don't think that guy's

1152
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 1: apologized the day in his life. And and I respect
