75
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: dropping on z and say what's up to as many locations,

76
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 3: Where where the hell is Portsjuanma.

77
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 4: Portwaanini is in Ventura County. It's little, yeah, it's where

78
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 4: of the naval bases. It's a one and a half

79
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 4: mile radius city that was the first to go live

80
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 4: with cannabis in Ventura County and they were able to

81
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 4: get twelve dispensaries out there in this one mile radius.

82
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 5: So it's called the Green Mile, and they were the

83
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 5: first ones to do it.

84
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 4: So it's a little city that took a chance and

85
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 4: took the city from potentially not profitable to much more

86
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 4: profitable location.

87
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 3: How do how does that store do for you in

88
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 3: such a suburban area where it's a military base and

89
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 3: they're not supposed to be heavy consumers, but.

90
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 5: Others no, So I'll be straightforward. We have no military customers.

91
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 4: We have veterans, but none of them that there active

92
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 4: duty because they obviously have rules and regulations and they

93
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 4: follow their jobs and they're very disciplined individuals. The city,

94
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 4: as I said, is the county was. It was the

95
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 4: first city in the county, so we really got business

96
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 4: from all the county.

97
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 5: So it's a very successful business.

98
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 4: At the very beginning because again you're the first one

99
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 4: in town and the only one in town, and we

100
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 4: have a lot of people.

101
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 5: It's called the monopoly.

102
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 4: It's not much fun, but you do win a lot

103
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 4: of money, right in the sense that we captured a

104
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 4: lot of customers. Now there's about thirty stores. Venturo went live,

105
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 4: we have a location there too, and Auxnard went live too,

106
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 4: which there's about sixteen stores there that are in the

107
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 4: pipeline or some have open, So competition has become real

108
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 4: and we've have to become a real business. The good

109
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 4: part is my partners and I have always been a

110
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 4: real business and we've ran our business not based on

111
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 4: what the market says, but running it from a financial

112
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 4: background of making sure we're profit right. And we've always

113
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 4: been mom and pop operators where we actually show up

114
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 4: to work.

115
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 5: So if you ever do show up, actually there, I'm

116
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 5: always there.

117
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 3: You'll pull up, you'll see Z at one of the locations,

118
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 3: whether it be Venice and now coming soon to Coasta Mesa.

119
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, Coast to Mesa's in the pipeline.

120
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 4: That one was a little bit of a fun game,

121
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 4: and it's still fun game and it's still gonna be a challenge.

122
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 4: It's still out there, but it's still in the pipeline

123
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 4: and we're still hoping to get it.

124
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 3: Well, you know, just hearing this, seeing this and knowing

148
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 2: It wouldn't fit come on, but that one. So I

149

Speaker 2: ended up I ended up getting the molds right and

150
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 2: doing it. And then because I did want to get

151

00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 2: I wanted to mcflurry or some type of McDonald's because

159
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 2: I thought he was Ronald McDonald's mouth with those fucking veneers.

160
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 3: I was like, dude, what is he a character or

161
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 3: like a McDonald's.

162
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 2: The thing is is that you don't know when you

163
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: when you first, when you see someone every day, it's

164
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 2: a huge exactly when you don't, though, it's not.

165
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 5: A big no no, I disagree.

166
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 4: I did notice them, but that's like noticing somebody with

167
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 4: a two pey and calling him out on it.

168
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know what. Blue eighth the one to

169
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: act like, oh what like he and you know before

170
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 3: Joe Joe like he's just like little brother. Do you

171
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 3: see this? Do you see this? And I'm like waiting

172
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 3: to start this, tell me saying there with his chops

173
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 3: over But it's just so funny. But it's great to

174
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 3: have you here and just to do this show because

175
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 3: break down the story for me Ze. I mean, we

176
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 3: just kind of explained what we'll talk about some of

177
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 3: these dispensaries and how you've done. But obviously you've done

178
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 3: pretty well. Why I've just named three cities that you're

179
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 3: active in, one that you're about to get active in

180
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 3: in a very dominant California market that's hard as help

181
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 3: to be in. Right, and now Blue is putting on

182
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 3: his gay face killer mouthpieces, which I'm not mad at

183
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 3: and I might have to order some. But I want

184
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 3: your side because I've heard this story, and you know

185
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 3: what people you have to you've heard parts of this story,

186
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 3: but you just don't realize it. And you didn't know

187
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 3: Z was part of the story on this show. So

188
00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 3: they'refore Z, how did you meet Christopher? Right? And there

189
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 3: it is.

190
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 5: He tried to hit on me and I said, no.

191
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 3: You're at the same right that's where I met him.

192
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 5: Gave me I got the ring, bro.

193
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 3: Spot you, Joe, just hold the putter that one before.

194
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 4: So surprising enough, I didn't get to meet Chris, heard

195
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 4: his name quite a bit.

196
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 5: I had an investor.

197
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 4: We had got a location in LA We still have

198
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 4: that location. It's not Wheelhouse, but it's another location that

199
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 4: we have that I had partnered with some partners with

200
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 4: and then we took some investors on and then we

201
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 4: had what the era had at time, which was you know,

202
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 4: defraud and people sold us a fake license. So then

203
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 4: our investors you know, had to obviously back up their

204
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 4: money and make.

205
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 5: Sure they did what they did.

206
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 4: Good news at the end is they reinvested in us

207
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 4: and our partners. And Chris was one of the reasons

208
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 4: that it all went into place, and he had a

209
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 4: license that was availed and he was going into this

210
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 4: path of his life and I was going in that

211
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 4: path of my life because I had just left banking.

212
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 4: And the other partner again that was in the cannabis

213
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 4: much longer, had the skill set and the experience of cannabis.

214
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 4: I had the financial background. And then we had investors

215
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 4: with the money, and so the investors with the money

216
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 4: backed us up again met Chris, introduced us to Chris,

217
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 4: We verified the license, and we acquired that license from Chris,

218
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 4: and we actually are in business because this gentleman was

219
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 4: part of that process.

220
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 3: So is it fair to say.

221
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 5: I'm in the business because Chris?

222
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 3: Is it fair to say Christopher Wright aka blue CEO

223
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 3: of Cannabis Talk one oh one helped encourage the steps

224
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 3: for Willhouse.

225
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 5: Absolutely, that's amazing.

226
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 4: It's every step because the reality is every road you take,

227
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 4: you have to go through many paths. You have to

228
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 4: take many steps, good ones, bad ones, falls cracked. My

229
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 4: other partner was run the other day. He forgot how

230
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 4: to run. He didn't lift his leg high enough. He

231
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 4: fell on his face. Right, you got to remind yourself

232
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 4: how to run again. Sometimes sometimes you got to pick

233
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 4: yourself up. No, I wish I was. I make serious

234
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 4: and the guy was a professional runner. I'm doing that

235
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 4: just to piss him off, because when he hears this podcast,

236
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 4: knows exactly what I'm talking about. Somebody said, speak from

237
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 4: the heart and to the camera to you he loves you. Yeah,

238
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 4: but the reality is we have a lot of steps

239
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 4: to take, and that was one of the biggest challenges.

240
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 4: I just left a banking career where I'm used to

241
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 4: sitting in a corporate office, somebody doing ninety percent of

242
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 4: the work and I do get all one hundred percent

243
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 4: of the credit. And I just have a fancy title

244
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 4: in a beautiful office. Right, and then I leave the Canada.

245
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 4: I leave that world of safety security, worrying a monkey

246
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 4: suit all day to join the cannabis world, and people

247
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 4: tell me, don't do it, don't do it. It's they're criminals.

248
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 4: And then the very first one I deal with is

249
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 4: a criminal. So it wasn't fun and wasn't exciting.

250
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 3: Christopher Wright was the first one you go with exactly,

251
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 3: And you know that's what I love about him too.

252
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 3: As long as we all put the cards on the table,

253
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 3: let's talk.

254
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was straightforward.

255
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 3: People like that.

256
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 4: He had something we needed to buy something. We came

257
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 4: to a deal and and it worked itself out, and

258
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 4: everybody's sitting here today talking you know, you know things

259
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 4: z is.

260
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 3: That I think a lot of people don't know.

261
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: Like what you're referring to is is that you know,

262
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 2: people have these licenses and we weren't sure whether or

263
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 2: not they were completely you know, going to be legal

264
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 2: or not.

265
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 3: At that time.

266
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 2: We we we had these licenses and we weren't sure

267
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: if you know, the license you were having in your

268
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 2: hand and the contract you had was real because it

269
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 2: could have been a copy and and and and we

270
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 2: weren't sure whether or not there was you know, you know,

271
00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 2: a shadow around this license in this number, you two

272
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 2: knowing that you oh, I thought that I knew mine

273
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 2: was good but okay, so okay, but everybody else can

274
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 2: feel that way in general. But you knew one thou well,

275
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 2: like this is solid. Mine was good, but I'm saying

276
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 2: there was. I mean, I had sold my license three times.

277
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 2: I've told him this, you know, and I bought it

278
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 2: and then I bought it back from somebody because they

279
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 2: didn't know what to do with it.

280
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 3: Then I had it over here, and then you know,

281
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 3: and it was moved around several times.

282
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 2: But when it came to them, they actually knew what

283
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 2: to do with it, right, and and and again that's

284
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 2: that same exact conversation that he's saying, like, look, you know,

285
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 2: you have to go through a lot of different doors

286
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 2: and a lot of different tunnels to find the right

287
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 2: hole on the right, you know.

288
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 3: And and that's exactly it. I mean, I you know,

289
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 3: the entrepreneurs is not easy like that, you know. I mean,

290
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 3: just think, dude, Look, I mean it's just too funny

291
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 3: because one may think and say, wow, Blue, look what

292
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 3: you could have owned. This could have been you right

293
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 3: wheelhouse easily think because that could easy? Did it come

294
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 3: on no problem. I mean he could have well maybe

295
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 3: and maybe, and he's done a lot of other great things.

296
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 3: Don't get me wrong, it's phenomenal. But it's the paths

297
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 3: you take.

298
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 5: You know.

299
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 3: It's not a good or bad. I'm not dissing, I'm

300
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 3: on it. I'm just saying it's funny how one could

301
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 3: look at it that way, right, even from Afar, even

302
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 3: us amongst clothes. But I think amongst us we all

303
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 3: realize our paths are our paths, and it's just funny.

304
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 3: But from abroad, you're listening going fuck Blue? Is that you?

305
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 3: That could have been?

306
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 5: You don't know. Blue and I were just talking about this.

307
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 4: We were just talking offline and we said, if, right now,

308
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 4: if somebody told you you never have to worry about

309
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 4: the roof over your head, clothes on your back, or

310
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 4: food on the table, what would you do he goes

311
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 4: take over the world. Yeah, because there's nothing to lose now.

312
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 4: We have the bare minimums that we know to. We

Speaker 4: of my life growing up fast food, right.

397
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 5: Because it's cheap, easy, and it's easy to feed.

398
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 4: And if I met the Boys and Girls Club or something,

399
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,040

408
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 3: more about your entrepreneurship as far as like you come

409
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 3: from the Bakony world. I get. But what college did

410
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 3: you go to?

411
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 5: Didn't?

412
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 3: Oh wow, I was wondering. I didn't see that online.

413
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 3: It didn't. Okay, So no college. So you get your

414
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 3: bread working at a bank, and that's what's built you

415
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 3: up to get into the CA.

416
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 4: So I've always been good at sales. I did get

417
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 4: accepted to some universities. I did well in the SATs

418
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 4: and all that fun. So I'm not crazy good, but

419
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 4: just decent enough to get into school at the time. Unfortunately,

420
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 4: my dad didn't want to pay for my school. He

421
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 4: said go work for it yourself. And then I went

422
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 4: to go work. The problem was I liked money more

423
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 4: than I liked to go back to school. Yeah, and

424
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 4: then every job I worked, I worked it in and

425
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 4: when that was high school time, so basically I was

426
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 4: delivering papers I was doing working at McDonald's, I was

427
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 4: doing whatever, right I did.

428
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah McDonald's mother. My mom was my manager. Yeah.

429
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 4: And so growing up like that, having to work work,

430
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 4: and then finally, at twenty I became a teller at

431
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 4: a bank. Then it was literally July nineteen ninety six.

432
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 4: I turned twenty one in July nineteen ninety six. Now

433
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 4: I just aged myself, and at twenty one I killed it.

434
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 4: As a teller. I became the number one teller in

435
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 4: the Thousand Oaks branch out of all the tellers. Five

436
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 4: months later, somebody's asked me if I want to be

437
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 4: a banker. I'm like, sure, I'll be a banker. Six

438
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 4: months later, they're offering me another banking position. Six months later,

439
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 4: they're offering me the manager position. I had to decline.

440
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 4: I wasn't ready. Nfortunately, one of my managers left and

441
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 4: I had to run the branch for three months, and

442
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 4: I knew I wasn't ready. So they said, you ran it,

443
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 4: you can do it. You'll learn on the way, and

444
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,359

445
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 4: else come and I'll learn.

446
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 5: And I did that. Then I became the manager.

447
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 4: Then I was in retail for the few years, and

448
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 4: then I went into commercial and business banking and I

449

00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 5: Then I went to another bank, and then I went

00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:31,720

00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 4: I called the guy named Greg, Greg Baker. He used

470
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 4: to work at Wells Fargo with me, and I knew

471
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 4: he went to the private equity side and he knows

472
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 4: these people. Yeah, so we tried to buy bankers out

473
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 4: of Barbara and that was really about it. And then

474
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 4: we decided it doesn't make sense because Dodd Frank was there.

475
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 5: Didn't make financial sense. So then we decided to go

476
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 5: towards cannabis banker.

477
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 3: Right.

478
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 4: That's what I called my partner who's my partner now, Sergio,

479
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 4: And I said, hey, Sergia, you're in the cannabis space.

480
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 4: You've been in it for a while. You have a

481
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 4: dispensary in San Diego, and tell me what do you need.

482
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 4: He's let's let's have some breakfast. And so we had

483
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 4: breakfast in Marmalade cafe, me a lawyer, CPA and him,

484
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden we're in Santa Barbara trying

485
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 4: to run a cannabis dispensary and then we got La

486
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 4: and then we went to Orwaanimi, Ventura, Venice and now

487
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 4: close to Mesa hopefully.

488
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 3: And did you guys, what'd you guys do in the banking?

489
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 3: Was that you guys created.

490
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 5: Anything a chance? We didn't even do it because I

491
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 5: got into the dispensary world.

492
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how random is that?

493
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 4: So that's that wasn't my career path. It wasn't planned.

494
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 4: People know how you do it? I go lock a little.

495
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 3: Bit of luck and not only that. Well, here's the thing.

496
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this. Were you consuming cannabis while

497
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 3: having all those jobs? Yes, you know what I mean?

498
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 2: And then you know I mean, if I had the

00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 2: fifty to fifty fill the dice, you know you you

500
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 2: participated in hustling some weed around.

501
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 3: Nope, no, never, never, never, But you knew people that did.

563
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 4: I did have to go to a council hearing where

564
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 4: I was the only pro cannabis individual. I had a

565
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 4: church group that literally felt this way and said that

566
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 4: throughout the hearing and I purposely put my card in

567
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 4: the last so i'd speak last and get out.

568
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 5: Of there as fast as possible.

569
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 4: But unfortunately somebody was after me and I had to

570
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 4: deal with the crowd afterwards. And the guy said that,

571
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,719
Speaker 4: So what I said to the individual, I said, let

572
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 4: me just ask you one question and we can have

573
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 4: an educated conversation. And the question is is that your

574
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 4: daughter And it was a sixteen yearl daughter and she

575
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 4: had come up to speak and that was one of

576
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 4: her things, get away from the kids and not you know,

577
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,239
Speaker 4: my child is here. Don't get over cannabis and all

578
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 4: that stuff.

579
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 5: So when we went out there, don't smoke weed around.

580
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're going to create a bad habits a gateway drug,

581
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 4: all the negative stereotypes. But I said, you know what,

582
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 4: let's start with one question and then we can talk.

583
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 4: If you can't answer, you as the first question. And

584
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 4: as he goes, what's the question, I said, your daughter here, sixteen,

585
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 4: as you said, if a doctor said she's going to

586
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 4: live or die and she has to take cannabis to live,

587
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 4: would you give it to her? And he looked at

588
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 4: his wife and everybody around him, and he couldn't answer

589
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 4: the question. And I said, so, if you're that closed

590
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 4: minded that you can't save your own daughter's life as

591
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 4: somebody says, this is going to kill her or keep

592
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 4: her alive, we cannot have a conversation. We are not

593
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 4: in the same conversation space because if you are willing

594
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 4: to be at least have Because a mind is like

595
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 4: a parachute, it only works when it's open, right, So

596
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 4: if we can't even have an open argument, then it's

597
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 4: already a decision that he's closed.

598
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 3: If you can't go there for death, then we can't

599
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 3: go there.

600
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, we can't go there. We can't if your own daughter.

601
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,160
Speaker 4: As I'm a parent and I know I would do anything,

602
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 4: I will take heroin.

603
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 3: Okay, now see you ready, Yes, let's go there. Now

604
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 3: we have the person that says, okay, but only if

605
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 3: they're dying.

606
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 5: Agreed. So he did do that.

607
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 3: Okay.

608
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 4: He came to my shop, he visited my shop, he

609
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 4: did every educational thing, and then he came back to

610
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 4: me and said, I'm still not going to support cannabis.

611
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 4: And I said, I agree, but can I say thank you?

612
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 4: He's like, why are you thinking me? At least you

613
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 4: did some homework and then you made an educated decision.

614
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 4: Just like I don't like certain things for my life,

615
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 4: I understand you don't like this for yours.

616
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 3: I love the fact when people do that as well.

617
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 3: I've always been asking and encouraging. As a matter of fact,

618
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 3: if you know the person that hates cannabis, and I

619
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 3: want to talk to them, just like you said, and

620
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 3: I want to tell me more. And I'm not going

621
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 3: to try to discourage you though, I just want you

622
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 3: to encourage me to think this sway.

623
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 5: I want you to convince me to exactly.

624
00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 3: I want you to encourage me that cannabis is the

625
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 3: day and you just think it is. And I want

626
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 3: that person on this show so bad, right, Like I've

627
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 3: been wanting that.

628
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 4: Should I bring him so I can bring you know

629
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 4: some that's the guy. I can bring that guy? He

630
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 4: still talk to him, We don't. He doesn't like cannabis,

631
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 4: he doesn't like the business that I'm in. Will he

632
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 4: likes I can ask him. I was the head of

633
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 4: the church and the entire church is anti cannabis, and

634
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 4: he's the leader for that that movement.

635
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 3: I would love to talk to the he's a nice

636
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 3: guy too, and I'm sure he is.

637
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 5: He's a nice guy.

638
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 3: Back to my point is like I think there's respectable,

639
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:35,479
Speaker 3: presentable conversations like this and I hate to say it,

640
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 3: but it's it's just like politics. And if you can't

641
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 3: fucking sit here and talk openly about it, but then

642
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 3: you're just an idiot in.

643
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 5: My either way, lock yourself in the bubble, right because no, he.

644
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 3: Told me this way. It's the same concept with cannabis.

645
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 4: I agree, concurred, and anything to be honest with you,

646
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 4: every anything, anything. Anything people believe, ex people will believe

647
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 4: why We've all been raised in different ways in different cultures.

648
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 4: I've traveled quite a bit, so I've been very fortunate

649
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 4: to see a lot of different cultures and see what

650
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 4: different beliefs are like. Even my wife just being from Morocco.

651
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 4: We have different ways of seeing things and the way

652
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 4: that education system, everything, livelihood, perception, what's happiness and what's

653
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 4: not all defined differently by what you were taught and

654
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 4: what you were brought up, by your nature and your nurture.

655
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 4: So you can't blame somebody for being taught something for

656
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 4: all their life. And if they are at least open

657
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 4: minded and go and do a little research and they

658
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 4: get a little bit more open minded.

659
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 5: We made a great movement. We made a great movement.

660
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 4: Cannabis industry saw a great, great movement when in twenty

661
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 4: twelve to twenty twenty, when you saw in every magazine,

662
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 4: at every grocery store, you didn't have to market if

663
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 4: you owned cannabis because everybody was looking for cannabis. And

664
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 4: now cannabis has become normalized. It's a normal business. It's

665
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 4: looking at being descheduled. We're talking, we talk.

666
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 3: Which now you know as this real error schedule we

667
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 3: went from a schedule one to a schedule three. You've

668
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 3: already talked about this a little bit. I haven't gotten

669
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 3: my chops around it, nor have I dialed in on

670
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 3: more than one story. And I like to listen to

671
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 3: the Fox News version, the CNN version, in the MSNBC

672
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 3: version of the story Store to Speak, and maybe a

673
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 3: CBS version, and then do my own readings of some

674
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 3: other readings. It is like, you know, my point is,

675
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 3: that's how I like to absorb and then read a little.

676
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 3: And maybe my read might be LA Times, New York Time, whatever,

677
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 3: or El Nazir is another one. I like to get

678
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 3: my other random back from. And then once I get

679
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 3: all those and I let me think about all the

680
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,959
Speaker 3: different sides I just heard from right there of the

681
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 3: way you're pitching me this fucking story. So that all

682
00:30:55,680 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 3: being said, Zee, how are you interpreting this story right

683
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 3: now that we're hearing that's being presented as cannabis will

684
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 3: move from a schedule one to a schedule three? How

685
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 3: do you present that to the cannabis community and what

686
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 3: it means in your layman's terms?

687
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 4: Well, so I've spoken to first Jane, one of my consultants,

688
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 4: Abraham Finberg, my accountant, spoken to my partner Sergio. I've

689
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 4: spoken to my partner Andy. I've spoken to a bunch

690
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 4: of people we've all started doing the same thing, reading, writing, reviewing,

691
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 4: and then I've also spoken to politicians, and I've spoken

692
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 4: to other individuals and a lot.

693
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 3: Of anecdotal stuff, right like that. Thank you for saying that.

694
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, because it's important for me to understand everybody's Oh.

695
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 3: I love that you said this because now it gives

696
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 3: me so much more weight of your opinion and I

697
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 3: can't wait to hear.

698
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, it made very simple in the short term, we believe,

699
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 4: we believe. Again, we don't know the process, so we're

700
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 4: playing believe. But any process takes time. When you built

701
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 4: this business, you didn't get one hundred people on the

702
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 4: show right away that we're celebrities. It took it time

703
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 4: to get to that level to be where you guys

704
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 4: are at today. So just the same thing. To build anything,

705
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 4: it takes time. Just like the Cannabis Bureau licensing, everything

706
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 4: took time. So it's going to take time to implement processes, procedures,

707
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 4: reviews and all this stuff. So immediately, we see this

708
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 4: as good news as a retailer because hopefully now we

709
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 4: can write off all our expenses, actually be a normalized

710
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 4: business and have more normalized taxes. Other side of the

711
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 4: coin is, well, who else is going to come in

712
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 4: the business. The other side of the coin is now

713
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 4: money can come into business now. The other side of

714
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 4: the coin is FDA is going to rule it. The

715
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 4: other side of the coin is they're gonna have interstage

716
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 4: interstate transfers. Are there's so many variables to the process.

717
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 3: But that are inevitable of the process.

718
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 5: Correct.

719
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 4: It's becoming what I call normalized business, and it hash

720
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 4: to happen, and forgetting if it happens or doesn't irrelevant.

721
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 4: As an entrepreneur, your key responsibility is to remain fluid

722
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 4: with the business. If monopoly changes its rules and you

723
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 4: want to play monopoly, you got follow the rules.

724
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 5: You got to play by the rules.

725
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 4: So either be flexible and be the fluid to change

726
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 4: to the rules, or be what I call my one

727
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 4: of my favorite books, one of the easiest books to read,

728
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 4: Who Moved My Cheese? It's the two Mice that.

729
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 3: I remember it well. I worked at Pow Pig Boy,

730
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 3: there you go. My boss gave it to us, Jimmy Steele.

731
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 3: I'll never forget it.

732
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 4: And it was a great book. Give us the I

733
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 4: love hearing other people's version of it. What's your bbated

734
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 4: version of the book, Give us the bottom line.

735
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 3: So for me, reading that book and looking at the

736
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 3: parallels was looking at what we do at the radio station.

737
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 3: Don't let somebody else come in there and take your gig,

738
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 3: because what we do, like we're a morning show and

739
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 3: you know, everybody wants this. Everybody wants what bat cheese.

740
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 3: Don't move your cheese dog. So my point is, I

741
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 3: remember the parallel of like why he gave it and

742
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 3: we all talked like we read it and we talked

743
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 3: about it on some like what does it mean to us?

744
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 3: Will you guys see the parallels? Yes, And we talked

745
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 3: about that. So my point is it was good for me,

746
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 3: like it stood out of my head.

747
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 5: It should be good for everybody because one of those.

748
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 3: Good learning books that builds team bonded you because and

749
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 3: hopefully everybody sees it that well.

750
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 4: Even if you don't even team, the bonding and you

751
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 4: individualize it. The abbreviated version is there's two mice that

752
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 4: have cheese put in the same place every day and

753
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 4: they get fed. Then they decide the scientists decide to

754
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 4: move the cheese introduced to two new mice and two

755
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 4: old mice. The two old mice keep going to the

756
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 4: same place for the cheese that never exists, and the

757
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 4: two mice who never had cheese go hunting for the cheese.

758
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 4: The moral of the story is the two new mice

759
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 4: find cheese because they're hunters and they finally learn how

760
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 4: to feed themselves versus the two old mice that never

761
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 4: get fed and they end up obviously passing away. So

762
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 4: you always have to stay relevant. You always have to

763
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 4: know the cheese is moving, the food is always moving.

764
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 4: You have to stay fluid, you have to stay liquid.

765
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 4: You have to move with the cheese. So simply put,

766
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 4: if you want to get fed, chase them, chase the game.

767
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 5: Play the game.

768
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 3: And that's what you've done with your first one, which

769
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 3: is so awesome and hearing how you go from a

770
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 3: banker this and that, and you know, looking at the

771
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 3: pros and cons of what you've gone through, because lord knows,

772
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 3: I'm sure it hasn't been an easy ride, and all

773
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 3: the craziness of the laws and rules changing, and even

774
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 3: as just reaching as like you point out a couple

775
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 3: of days ago with this one to three. I like

776
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 3: your take on that, and my take as well is

777
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 3: when I looked at this, the thing that I love

778
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 3: the most, and no matter what, there's going to be

779
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,879
Speaker 3: a lot of things that suck about getting there right,

780
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 3: But the thing I love the most is that we now,

781
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 3: as when I say we, as the United States of America,

782
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 3: could finally put the real money into the research. Yes,

783

Speaker 3: Johnson's spending the money about a two hundred and forty

785
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 3: five pound mail for hip pain should take you know

786

Speaker 3: this instead of for advils.

787
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 4: Well, one of the fastest growing markets and industries are

788
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 4: nurse practitioners that utilize cannabis for the adult care world.

789
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,160

Speaker 4: do a lot of adult care health work with adult

791
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 4: care facilities, nonprofits and stuff that really want to give

792
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 4: the seniors a more comfortable transition. And it's amazing to

793
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,879
Speaker 4: see how that is helping the community. How many more

794
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,640

960
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 3: Sister work for places, and still till this day am

961
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:49,879
Speaker 3: very good friends mentor still to Mauricio Camal who lives

962
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 3: in Vegas, who when he was thirteen years old Virgie

963
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 3: I think Virgine yep me. He was in downtown LA

964
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 3: and I went to school there, came to power when

965
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 3: I was six when I worked out there and met him.

966
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 3: I mean, the man's thirty five. Now you know what

967
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:11,919
Speaker 3: I'm saying. It's just so when I say this, that's

968
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 3: one great story, but there's several and then and then

969
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 3: this story gets even deeper because why Mauricio, who I

970
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:22,800
Speaker 3: was a big brother too. I was like his dad,

971
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:27,879
Speaker 3: meaning he watched his dad gets shot, right, and he's

972
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 3: been And then I had to like literally teach him

973
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 3: as a young Mexican boy to look people in the

974
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 3: eyes when you shake hands and look at like all

975
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 3: those little things like maybe a dad would tell you,

976
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 3: like he knows. I know. I taught him all because

977
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 3: of a fucking Big Brother program.

978
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 4: I you can't imagine the smile you're putting on my

979
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 4: face and you.

980
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 5: Know and you know the stories.

981
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why. That's why we do it, is my point.

982
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:51,479
Speaker 3: And my point is telling me something a year because

983
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 3: I'm giving you mine, and I don't get to share

984
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:55,919
Speaker 3: that on the show too much because it's not brought

985
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,839
Speaker 3: up like this. And my and my point to you know,

986
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 3: you're gonna give me your story of one of your kids,

987
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 3: as I'm giving you one of my a list stories

988
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 3: of the kid that I still see who when I

989
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 3: go to Vegas and host something, he still shows up.

990
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,720
Speaker 3: When I brought him on the show because he got cancer,

991
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 3: when I hooked him up with a company that's here

992
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 3: on the show called MJ's Wellness with my boy jo

993
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 3: g and helped him and put his cancer and remission.

994
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 3: I love it all from this and then came to

995
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 3: this and like.

996
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 5: That, and there.

997
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 3: Was a guest on the show and all these guys

998
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 3: now I'm around here.

999
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 5: It's the bottom line, he's now family.

1000
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,240
Speaker 3: All big brothers. So give me a big brother story

1001
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 3: that you just had, because that was my quick one.

1002
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 4: But I wish I was blessed enough. I was actually

1003
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 4: told no to be a mentor. And that's how honest

1004
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 4: the Big Brother in Big Sister program is. I was

1005
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 4: a board member. I just joined as a board member,

1006
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 4: and I was at the time going to be a mentor.

1007
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 4: And I went through the whole process. Now, guys, it's

1008
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 4: not easy to go through the process. You have to

1009
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 4: go through the whole background check, you go through a

1010
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,879
Speaker 4: bunch of interviews, you go through a bunch of stuff.

1011
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 5: Which is and it's good stuff. It's all positive stuff.

1012
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 3: I got all brought up stuff like okay, I explained

1013
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 3: it all go we go.

1014
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:09,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it was good.

1015
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 4: And then they'd say, okay, what style person or what

1016
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 4: kind of child would you like to mentor they even

1017
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 4: ask you that far because they asked the child the

1018
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 4: same things.

1019
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 5: They really want to match.

1020
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 4: And that's what happened, because when there's a match, it

1021
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 4: lasts a lifetime, and that's what we look for. So

1022
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 4: when I was doing the matching side. They were ready

1023
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 4: to match me and we were having a baby, and

1024
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 4: they asked me, are you having a baby? Like yes,

1025
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 4: they go, we interviewed your wife. Like okay, she says,

1026
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 4: this is your second child. I said yes. They're like,

1027
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:49,280
Speaker 4: and you have your in laws with us too. I'm like, yes, okay,

1028
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 4: you have a lot on your plate. Maybe you should

1029
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 4: try for the mentorship program next year. Right now, we

1030
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 4: want you to mentor your family and be there. Is

1031
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 4: you already a board member, You're already spending your time there,

1032
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 4: your doing things for them. Wow, So let's not have

1033
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 4: you take on an additional thing, which would not be

1034
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 4: helpful because if you have to give that up, that

1035
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 4: actually hurts the child, right because when you're a mentor,

1036
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 4: you want to be a mentor for them for a

1037
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 4: long time.

1038
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:14,959
Speaker 3: And you have a new one. That's a beautiful thought

1039
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 3: out there.

1040
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,240
Speaker 4: So they did that. I am now the vice president

1041
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 4: of Big Brothers and Big Sisters in June. I hope

1042
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 4: to be voted for the president of Big Brothers and

1043
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 4: Big Sisters of ninety percent there unless somebody wants to

1044
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 4: vote against me. But everybody's my friend, and the reason

1045
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 4: I joined them to be honest with you was half

1046
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 4: the board members were my friends. So I have successful

1047
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 4: friends that are part of the board enjoy giving back

1048
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 4: to the community we grew up and I get to

1049
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 4: be part of that.

1050
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 5: So that's why I joined. The sad part is we

1051
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:41,800
Speaker 5: all now.

1052
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 4: Are doing better. The organization is doing better. We've hit

1053
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 4: platinum standards across all boards. We're thinking about expansion, we're

1054
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,240
Speaker 4: thinking about a lot of things, and we've done more

1055
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,839
Speaker 4: for the children in the community than ever. Plus, it's

1056
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 4: one of the local places that works with other nonprofits.

1057
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 4: Supports it Live Boys and Girls Club, like Kids Stream,

1058
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 4: and they work together to really give back to the

1059
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,280
Speaker 4: community because at the end of the day, every person

1060
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 4: there on board is a volunteer.

1061
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 3: Zee. What does the community say when they look at

1062
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 3: your profession and go, wow, he's in the cannabis industry.

1063
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,760
Speaker 4: At the beginning, it was much tougher. Now it's easy.

1064
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 4: Now they don't care. It's just everybody that knows me

1065
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:24,359
Speaker 4: doesn't care.

1066
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:26,879
Speaker 3: I mean, you're out in an area where the Budweiser

1067
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 3: Village is right down the way. Guys, it's you know,

1068
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 3: it's not that far. Yeah, I mean, we all have

1069
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:34,720
Speaker 3: people that work in other industries as well, the porn industry,

1070
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,919
Speaker 3: the entertainment industry that is all around here as well.

1071
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 5: Agreed.

1072
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:40,359
Speaker 4: And the thing is, it's again, it's what you were

1073
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 4: taught up, what you were brought But let's be honest.

1074
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 4: Like I asked my mom, why don't you like marijuana?

1075
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 4: And she goes, agains, it's illegal. I said so from

1076
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 4: the beginning if it was legal, would we be having

1077
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 4: this conversation. She goes, that's a good question.

1078
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 5: I don't know. So it was what she was taught.

1079
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 3: I love exactly. I love the because it's illegal. Okay,

1080
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,320
Speaker 3: do you ever drive over the speed limit?

1081
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 5: My mom doesn't drive, but yes, I get it.

1082
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:05,879
Speaker 3: I love playing, but we love playing the game too.

1083
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 4: With people, which I always play doubles. I might agree

1084
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 4: with you, and I'll still question your agreement because I

1085
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:11,879
Speaker 4: want to make sure we're on the same point, not

1086
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:12,880
Speaker 4: just on the same page.

1087
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 3: And I really love the people that can go back

1088
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 3: and forth with it even when I don't agree, even

1089
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 3: when I'm listening at the person like it's on and

1090
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:23,439
Speaker 3: you really see it that way.

1091
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, there's always a rule, like I may not

1092
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 4: like you or your beliefs, but I might like to

1093
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 4: buy you a drink because you're a good dad, and

1094
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 4: you're a good father and you take care of and

1095
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 4: I respect you for that. Find something you respect in

1096
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 4: the other person and focused.

1097
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 3: On that exactly. I agree in life too, right like,

1098
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:42,439
Speaker 3: because because there's gonna be enough common things, whether it's

1099
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,399
Speaker 3: smoking a bowl together, whether it's going to the good

1100
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:47,799
Speaker 3: old willhouse and picking yourself up a bag.

1101
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:49,760
Speaker 5: Or are they going four by four with your boys,

1102
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 5: whatever it.

1103
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 3: Is, you know what, And I love this right now

1104
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 3: because learning about you and not hearing so much about

1105
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 3: what product is in your store, I want people to

1106
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 3: understand what this gentleman is because, like I said, hearing

1107
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 3: stories from Blue and the way you've talked about you

1108
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,880
Speaker 3: has just put you at a level that is everything

1109
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 3: I've heard right now in front of me and more

1110
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 3: because it's just been, you know, a real blessing to

1111
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:20,720
Speaker 3: not only see what you're doing with the boys and girls,

1112
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 3: big brothers, big sisters, but what you're doing with consulting

1113
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 3: and helping communities and helping people and educating people like

1114
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 3: you did with that gentleman at the church. And if

1115
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 3: you can bring them on, I'd love to talk with

1116
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 3: them because I'll just give them the platform. I'm like, well,

1117
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 3: what do you say to this, what do you say

1118
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 3: to that? I just want the answers to your thoughts

1119
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:39,800
Speaker 3: and theories.

1120
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 5: We want to know what the extreme side says, so

1121
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:43,239
Speaker 5: we know what the other side says.

1122
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 3: I want to hear, and I want this platform for

1123
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:46,240
Speaker 3: you to preach.

1124
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I'm not I'm not for somebody just okay,

1125
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:52,240
Speaker 4: let's put it very simply.

1126
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 5: No, I'm not in the.

1127
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:57,439
Speaker 4: Business to provide cannabis for somebody to sit at home

1128
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 4: all day and not make anything of their life, like

1129
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:03,720
Speaker 4: a stereotype. But I am in the business of providing

1130
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 4: cannabis for five people like us to sit down and

1131
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,880
Speaker 4: communicate like we do today and be able to consume

1132
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,719

1135
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:24,320
Speaker 4: his little answer was, I'm only got to Harvard because

Speaker 3: because hearing your stories have been great and thinking that

1186
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 3: you probably started smoking cannabis at a later age.

1187
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 5: I did.

1188
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 3: Question number one is how old are you the first

1189
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 3: time you use cannabis and where did you get it? From?

1190
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:03,320
Speaker 4: Twenty three years old, I just became branch manager vice

1191
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:09,399
Speaker 4: president of a bank. I had a career, and I

1192
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 4: went to with my best friend at the time, getting

1193
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 4: a little intoxicated and my girl I was dating and

1194
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 4: he was dating. We all went and had celebration at

1195
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:21,840
Speaker 4: his apartment. After I got a little bit intoxicated, I said, Hey,

1196
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 4: since I have a career now I'm still young, tell

1197
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 4: me what this cannabis is all about. He's like, you

1198
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:32,240
Speaker 4: want to smoke? Man, like, yeah, I'll try it tonight.

1199
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 4: I'll try it for the first time. He called his buddy.

1200
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 5: Come.

1201
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 4: This little guy comes to the door with a joint.

1202
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 4: Not even the bag, nothing, just a joint. He's just

1203
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 4: a friend.

1204
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 3: When you live in an apartment complex, or what do

1205
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:45,239
Speaker 3: you mean call it just a friend?

1206
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:46,960
Speaker 5: He said, Hey, buddy, I have my boy here. He

1207
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 5: wants to smoke some weed. Can you bring some over?

1208
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:49,239
Speaker 5: An think?

1209
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 4: So the guy brings over a joint now, remember I've

1210
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 4: already drank alcohol and this is the first time I'm

1211
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 4: consuming cannabis.

1212
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 5: So what do you think happened. Let's see if you

1213
00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:57,800
Speaker 5: can guess.

1214
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,840
Speaker 3: Joe, you shit your pants.

1215
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:01,399
Speaker 5: No, not that bad.

1216
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 4: I passed out and went to sleep. So I took

1217
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:07,440
Speaker 4: one hit and fell asleep. I didn't even feel the effects,

1218
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 4: didn't feel anything. I just passed out.

1219
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 5: Really, But my first experience of cannabis and first real experience,

1220
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 5: was with a very close friend of mine and his

1221
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 5: name is Brandon.

1222
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 4: He said, you're stupid for smoking that way. He goes,

1223
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 4: come here on a Saturday, come to my condo. I'll

1224
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 4: have a bowl for you, and you're only going to

1225
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:27,240
Speaker 4: take one hit, and he had a bong. I couldn't

1226
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:28,879
Speaker 4: even finish the bawl. Took one hit.

1227
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 5: I laughed, I cried, I watched TV, I joked. I

1228
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 5: ate a lot. I remember everything I ate. I can

1229
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 5: tell you exactly what I ate and how much I ate,

1230
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:39,320
Speaker 5: and it was all yummy.

1231
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:41,920
Speaker 4: It all tasted better, and then I passed out. So

1232
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,280
Speaker 4: I had a great experience, but that didn't start me smoking.

1233
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:46,920
Speaker 4: It just let me know it wasn't harmful, and I

1234
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 4: did enjoy it. I didn't start smoking cannabis until I

1235
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,799
Speaker 4: was thirty and when I was finally in a place

1236
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 4: where I just consumed on Friday night called Friday night

1237
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:58,759
Speaker 4: chill night, because at the end of a Friday, instead

1238
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 4: of drinking, I'd come home and consumer bowl and order

1239
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:05,120

1243
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 4: only smoking maybe a little bit here and there. That's

1244
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 4: why it would people would give me free weed because

1245
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:20,680

1246
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 5: So that was it?

00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 3: What a beautiful story though. You just took me down

1253
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 3: like I was, just like I could feel it see

1254
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:38,480

1255
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 3: not only fun for you. But it sounds like would

1256
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 3: you say that because of the way you were are

1257
00:57:49,560 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 3: meaning banker, very meticulous, therefore you're not gonna because all

1258
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 3: your voys are smuggling weed. You just want to smuggle block.

1259
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 3: That's not Z style. No Z looked at this like,

1260
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 3: why are they doing it? Is there some medical benefit

1261
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 3: for me here?

1262
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:12,919

00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 5: You laugh?

1265
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 4: You can laugh the first time? No, it was just

1266
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 4: me being a kid, just trying to learn what it

1267
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 4: was all about. Tell me what it does, what it does,

1268
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 4: why you like it?

1269
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 5: Right?

1270
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 4: What's the effect? I started smoking at thirty regularly because,

1271
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,480
Speaker 4: as I said, it let me chill out. I didn't

1272
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:33,480
Speaker 4: have to consume alcohol. I found it seen a medical benefit,

1273
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 4: and literally one of my old attorneys said, people say, well,

1274
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 4: you're you're stoned and you're stuck on the couch. You're

1275
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 4: a drug addict. No, I'm actually relaxing now, and I'm

1276
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 4: actually soothing myself.

1277
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 3: I'm meditating, and I'm so happy to be relaxed.

1278
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 5: Right now, and I'm not.

1279
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 4: This is a separate lawyer, and I can't name how

1280
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 4: many lawyer friends I have that smoke weed. They didn't

1281
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 4: make lawyers that aren't getting paid and aren't doing well

1282
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 4: because they stupid and can't read the law and understand

1283
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 4: whether judge or speak in front of a judge or

1284
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 4: in front of anything, or run a case or lawsuit,

1285
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 4: or make anybody money if they stone and stupid.

1286
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 3: I agree. I got Mark m craig, the Pop Brothers

1287
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 3: at law. Those guys are they.

1323
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:03,080
Speaker 4: when I got back, I took one hit of my

1324
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:09,080
Speaker 4: flower and nothing needed to be said more after that

1325
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 4: because I was relaxed.

1326
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:14,080

Speaker 4: did consume in the parking lot. In the parking lot

1393
01:03:58,240 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 4: to call your wife and say let's go.

1394
01:03:59,440 --> 01:03:59,600
Speaker 3: I know.

1395
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:02,680
Speaker 4: I simply said, you have two choices. You can stay

1396
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 4: and enjoy your day, or they're gonna give us all

1397
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:08,560
Speaker 4: passes for the next day. They only kick you off

1398
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:10,760
Speaker 4: for twenty four hours unless you really are a jerk

1399
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 4: and a rude and aren't doing this and you have

1400
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 4: more than one offense. But yeah, basically they just said

1401
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:18,240
Speaker 4: come back tomorrow. So we came back the next day.

1402
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 3: Oh that's an easy story. It was.

1403
01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:23,120
Speaker 4: But that's the craziest because to me, everybody else has

1404
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 4: been very accepting. I mean, if you want to say,

1405
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:27,280
Speaker 4: where's the craziest, well, I was sitting in a club

1406
01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:30,040
Speaker 4: smoking weed with some celebrities. That's Those are just not

1407
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 4: stories that are very crazy.

1408
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 5: For me.

1409
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:35,320
Speaker 4: The crazy one I got I was stuck without my

1410
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:37,959
Speaker 4: kids and family that won't have to make a decision.

1411
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:39,080
Speaker 3: And embarrassed my crazy story.

1412
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:41,120
Speaker 4: To me, that was embarrassed. I was to be honesty.

1413
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:43,920
Speaker 4: To me, it was crazy because I was embarrassed that

1414
01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:45,200
Speaker 4: I had to tell my family.

1415
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:47,000
Speaker 3: And now you're forever gonna have to tell your kids

1416
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 3: what we got kicked out. Fuck, they remember, they're gonna

1417
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 3: watch this. They're gonna be twenty one years old watching this. Boy, Dad,

1418
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 3: you fucking liar.

1419
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:56,600
Speaker 5: No, I'll tell you the truth. I don't know.

1420
01:04:57,440 --> 01:04:59,040
Speaker 3: You never told us the truth like that.

1421
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:01,880
Speaker 5: No, I know, if they ask, I tell the truth. Unfortunately,

1422
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:05,920
Speaker 5: I'm as my wife. Yeah, my wife goes, I think

1423
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:08,840
Speaker 5: you're a little too honest. I said, yeah, But unfortunately

1424
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 5: I got to treat them with respect too. Makes sense,

1425
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:14,120
Speaker 5: and being honest is respectful, so I want them to

1426
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 5: be respectful.

1427
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:16,320
Speaker 3: You don't ask if I would just say, you don't

1428
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 3: want to know that answer.

1429
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 4: When you grow up my real answers that I don't

1430
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:22,280
Speaker 4: want to give up, Like when you become a parent,

1431
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:23,280
Speaker 4: we'll have that conversation.

1432
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 3: That's a nice one.

1433
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:26,440
Speaker 5: And don't be a parent until you are old enough.

1434
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 3: Oh please don't do that. Question Number four the high five?

1437
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:39,600

Speaker 5: Crunch aholy o, everything's better with the chip chip.

1440
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:49,160
Speaker 3: I just bought a variety bag from Costcow that has

1441
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:52,840
Speaker 3: the funions and then is my bag that I've opened up.

1442
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 3: I haven't opened up a funions bag, but I opened

1443
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 3: up the bag of the chili.

1444
01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 4: Reminds me of reminds me of childhood. I just I

1445
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:04,160
Speaker 4: just need a little bag of that everyone, and it

1446
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 4: gives you the childhood memory, gives me a.

1447
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:08,240
Speaker 3: Fix, like if I'm a junkie exactly, and it's like

1448
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 3: like and I felt like I was eating them in

1449
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 3: the corner like a little fat kids.

1450
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:16,240
Speaker 4: My junkie is the funions. So I'm a fund and

1451
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 4: so if I open my daughter now loves she hates onions,

1452
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:22,360
Speaker 4: but she loves funions, which is the irony of everything.

1453
01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 4: If I buy a bag of funions, and you if

1454

1460
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 4: and then we'll walk back. And if it's a long movie,

1461
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:49,160
