Speaker 1: Slar that I feel like you and I have been

28
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: talking about for a while, and it has to do

29
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: with the good old, big City of the Big Apple,

30
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: Good Old New York. New York. New York is set

31
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: to double the number of license for the cannabis suspension

32
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: state right now. The New York Cannabis Control Board and

33
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:32,279
Speaker 1: the Office of Cannabis Management announced it'll increase the number

34
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: of conditional adult use retail dispensary license that'll be issued

35
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: from the originally planned one hundred and fifty to three

36
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: hundred licenses, which is good now. This effort was enhanced

37
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: through the creation of the two hundred million New York

38
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: State Social Equity Cannabis Fund that was given to them

39
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: a public private partnership providing renovation retail locations to the

40
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: initial one hundred fifty licenses haven't been all out there yet.

41
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: And when I hear this and think that, right, you

42
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: know how many? Let's take a guess around the room, Diego,

43
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: I hope you didn't look. How many locations do they

44
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: have out there so far? Goldie? Out of the one

45
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: fifty three hundred the licenses? How many? Okay, then do

46
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: you know? Do you know, Diego? If you don't know,

47
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: take a guess. I know, I know, Solarnos. Are you

48
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,839
Speaker 1: probably so stony? Forgot? But no, I remember Uncle Peter Sue,

49
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: I remember was on the Okay, how many do they

50
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: have out there? Diego? Mister shytown you said how many licenses?

51
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: They have one hundred and fifty three hundred licenses that

52
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: they're giving out. They're about to double that, so let's

53
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: say say six hundred, but right now they have one

54
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty right now? Fair to say how many

55
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: stores are open right now in New York? Just from

56
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 1: the last show? That from how many? I did say

57
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: it last time? I think I did say it. When

58
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: you're around me, yes, Marcus, do you know? I believe

59
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: you said it last show? So you okay, let's see

60
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: if you both were paid attention for money? Two hundred?

61
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: Are you guys all get show? What? So? Twenty two

62
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: hundred were in Oklahoma, Oklahoma, Yes, twenty How many are

63
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: in New York? Goldie? Can you help him too? York?

64
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: Can you help him? Were two stores? So I was

65
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: right the first time when I said how many? But

66
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: two in New York? You say, to York, isn't it three?

67
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: The third one is opening up? Yeah? Okay, two to three?

68
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: Yeah to Goldie, thanks for listening. I go over you,

69
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: Goldie and Joe. Do you guys remember the names? You

70
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: never said him stopped, but no, we shaid him on

71
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: another podcast, So I'll give him that, and I should

72
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: be the one to know it. And I'm gonna you

73
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: know what that was. I know I got one of

74
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: them smacked? Remember, No, that was you? No smack in

75
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: New York? Was it smash? Smacked in New York? Can

76
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: we get a Google? We got Google? Back there? We

77
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: got any any house lights? Bottom line? There's only three

78
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: so far. But here's my concern about this. You know,

79
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: as I say this, and as we look on I

80
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: g and you look up cannabis in New York and

81
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: you look at everything. Smack is one of them. For sure,

82
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: good jobs are it is one of them. My big

83
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: concern is it's growing. You just what a free trip

84
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: to the toilets, But watch out, folks. Have so many

85
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: of these pop ups out there, you guys in New York. Right,

86
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: And the thing that I say that concerns me is

87
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,559
Speaker 1: I played Devil's advocate. So this is what I present

88
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: to you, guys. Would you if you could open up

89
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: a store, try to get one of these equity license

90
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: in New York? Knowing right what's going on out there,

91
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: meaning it's the wild wild West. Three legal stores, two

92
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: are open. You could buy cannabis right now. Damn you're

93
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: on any freaking block out there, and they're not doing

94
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: anything about it. So now you spend X amount of

95
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: dollars calling a meal plus to open up your store,

96
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: get your license, do everything right. But right down the street,

97
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: somebody's selling weed and they don't have to pay anything

98
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: to get their license, rent for the building, the electricity, security,

99
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: none of that. But you do if you want to

100
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: get a legal store, I would you do it me? Honestly,

101
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 1: like if we want to be like totally real, like

102
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: I would get the license, but I would use it

103
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: in a different manner, like I wouldn't try to get

104
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: a dispensary. I would come up with like a consumption

105
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: lounge or so, let me break down the consumption lounge

106
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: how it's not making you money. Consumptions lounge aren't the moneymaker. Dog,

107
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: the dispensary is a moneymaker. I'm going in there on

108
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: the street because then, okay, what you're going to charge

109
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: to come into the smoke lounge. The smoke a lounge

110
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: is not to come up, yeah, like a club. So

111
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: and so I'm charging you twenty bucks when you can

112
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: buy it, I could be selling you towards you cannot.

113
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,239
Speaker 1: You have to buy. You can't go to the shop

114
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,559
Speaker 1: next door. That's the point is these these things sound cool,

115
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: but they're not money makers. You're a moneymaker. Moneymakers aren't

116
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: your lounges, folks. I'm sorry to break the news to you,

117
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: but it's not a moneymaker for you. It's nice thing

118
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: to have if you can think of something. You can

119
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: sell food in there eventually, but then again, you can't

120
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: have a liquor license in there. Food would be food

121
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: would be worried. It's just not the numbers that you

122
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: got to spend millions dollars on renovation and the ventilation. Well,

123
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: I mean what you I mean, because I mean we

124
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: know how I would. I would do it, and I'd

125
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 1: be the rat calling the cops. Coin, can you please

126
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: get these set up a bit just off. I think

127
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: this is the first time fucking letting him sell this

128
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 1: shit around me because I'm trying to sell illegally. I

129
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: think this is where at a time work. I mean,

130
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: that's what happens here, guy, and that's what needs to

131
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: happen in the end of the the whole world. New York

132
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: has watched California and they've said, why would I make that?

133
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: It's a California mistake right off? Like if I'm if

134
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm reading history, Let's get that step. Let's get in Oklahoma.

135
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: Let's get that step of me going through all that

136
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: realizing that doesn't work out, governor promising this and that. No,

137
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna you, guys, as crazy as it sounds, like, yes,

138
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: I would do it as well, but you better believe

139
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: I'm Ryan Wolf, Like, come on, help me. Why because

140
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do this legally. I'm trying to do

141
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: it right and for me as I present it to you, guys,

142
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: and don't get it twisted. It's why. It's how it

143
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: was all started, and I get it. But in order

144
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: to get to the Promised Land, folks, we can't allow

145
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: it to happen like that anymore. It's unfortunate. Unfortunately, don't

146
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: get it twisted. I know, buddies that's still slinging. I

147
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: get it. We know we all have somebody that you

148
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: can buy weed from. So where does it start with

149
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: the state or with the business owner? It starts with

150
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: the fucking cops that have to break it down. The

151
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: state has to control it, right, we have to have

152
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: law and order. And I think it's great for the

153
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: patients that can get it everywhere pop up and more stores.

154
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: Only two are open, for God's sakes. So I mean,

155
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: at this point it makes sense. But when you ask me, Goldie,

156
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: I say, yes I would, but I wouldn't necessarily open

157
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: one up right away. I mean, am I But then

158
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: I'd be so mad around my namehoods. If you're selling it,

159
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: you gotta pop up tent. And you know why, why

160
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: would you want to come to Joe Grande's dispensary where

161
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: you can go pick it up from Diego's pop up tent?

162
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: Pop up tent because that's what they have their diego. No. Literally, yeah,

163
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: you think not only described I've seen it. I've seen

164
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: it on the line. Go to your go to pop

165
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: Roars at Law Instagram page. You see them walking and

166
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: think about like a ten ten tent that you pop

167
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: up at a park to have a picnic. Just imagine

168
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: you wake up in the morning one of those on

169
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: the car and none that diego. You see, like these

170
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: jars were like these containers in the back of the

171
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: black ones of the yellow tops. They have those out there,

172
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: dog full of wheat and you're just buying wet off cats.

173
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: So what is it calling I'm gonna look at just

174
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: look up New York out of control. It's just I mean,

175
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: I'm not describing anything that people haven't seen online. And

176
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: you see these things. It's popping up all over the place.

177
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's an interesting fact that they're doubling

178
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: them up. But when you say Solar, what they have

179
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: to do, in my opinion, they have to crack down

180
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: take the legacy market in California. I mean, are they

181
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: winning when a company like pure Leaf decides, hey, we're

182
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: pulling out a California because we can't compete with what

183
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: we can't compete with. It's who wins this proof. It's proof,

184
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: thank you, it's proof. And in my opinion as well,

185
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: I truly believe that market will always be there. Why

186
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: because we could all grow a plane at home. So

187
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: if we could all grow a planet home and up

188
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: to six of them legally, that means someone's going to

189
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: be growing more. And that means someone's going to be

190
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: having some stuff that's fire and I'm gonna have too

191
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: much there it is. You just see it now, you

192
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: Google if you found it, and I think it's going

193
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: to be very hard, and we're still X amount of

194
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 1: years away from New York being able to do something

195
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: to keep it in and check. I think there's still

196
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: gonna be a heavy consumer aspect of it too, because

197
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: people do like the branding, they like the packaging, they

198
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 1: like the lounges, they like to experience, the hospitality, to travel,

199
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: the tourism, but they don't like if you open a

200
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: store having a deal with another pop up store, that's

201
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: just gonna be right there going. Oh, and you can't

202
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: grow it on your own two as well. But it's

203
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: it's the tomato versus like the culture behind the tomato.

204
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 1: Maybe there's gotta be tomato conferences, tomato afterparties, tomato you know, activation,

205
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: tomato poker night, all that kind of stuff. Tomato tomato.

Speaker 1: lorente Oils dot com. As you guys are sitting up here,

213
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: I got another story to share with you guys, and

214
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: just watch your thoughts on how great and crazy and

215
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: I say crazy crazy that the rest of the country

216
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: isn't voting and making this happen. I know we have

217
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: a vote going on in Oklahoma. We'll take a look

218
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: at what Michigan's doing, folk, Michigan is pulling in tens

219
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: of millions of dollars that have been dueled out of

220
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: the local government across Michigan as the result of what

221
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: the state's cannabis industry. As Fox to Detroit reports that

222
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: the state set out nearly sixty million dollars to the

223
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: counties and local government's. Folks. This right here is what

224
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm talking about, approximately fifty one thousand, eight hundred bucks

225
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: for every rekill store and micro business that's handed out

226
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: to the license out there. Now, when you hear these

227
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: numbers and you realize that this is what's going on

228
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: in the beautiful state of Michigan, it's like, why aren't

229
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 1: every state just jumping on this. I was gonna say

230
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: that one of my buddies, he told me that there's

231
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: a lot of your neck of the woods again exactly

232
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 1: so there would be. It was a Michigan. No, no,

233
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, Chicago, Chicago, no no, that's what I'm saying. Yeah,

234
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: they're so close. No no, My best friend went to

235
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: Loyal Chicago medic fiance. Now they live with their kid

236
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: in a royal Look, Michigan, laurent Oils, who you just

237
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: blasted right now, Lancing, Michigan. It's it's happening out there, guys.

238
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: But I believe it because my friend told me that

239
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 1: the dispensary is down in Michigan. Are crazy? I was

240
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: telling Mark earlier that um there was a deal. There's

241
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: so many deals. Even if you go in there and

242
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: you have a student ID, they will give you a

243
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: blunt for free because you're a student, which is great.

244
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, no purchase necessary. No, you might have to

245
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: get up at he walk. So some of the take

246
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 1: take a cart, for instance, the one Graham cart. You

247
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: pay one hundred dollars, you can get ten of them.

248
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: They're practically giving you drugs. The deals are unrealistic. I mean,

249
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: I just want to correct you right now. They're giving

250
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: you medicine. They're not giving you drug. Yes, I'm just

251
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: saying it's a good deal for them, and it's a

252
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: great way to get customers repetitive because if you're doing

253
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: things like that, like you know, get their fits in

254
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: the door first. And it's like I like this place.

255
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: I like the vibe. In fact, when I buy, I'm

256
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: coming back here. There's a whole table and they have

257
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: all the bud that you can smell, and the workers

258
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: they're they're so unbelievably helpful that even that there's a

259
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: bunch of I mean every other corner. I mean, you're

260
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: incentivizing a positive culture, you know, in a positive product.

261
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: So I mean I feel like, Yeah, people are gonna

262
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: want to come back. It's just gonna make the scene

263
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: explode even more. What those blood tenders do, diego, You're right, dude,

264
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: it's all about that experience, that education that they provide.

265
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: We love our blood tenders, man so, and we're in

266
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 1: a Fox to Detroit. Only thirty percent of total adult

267
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: use sales go to local governments, which is it bad.

268
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: I'm not complaining about that. But the other seventy percent

269
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: going to schools and roads, you gotta I think Michigan's

270
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: looking pretty at this point. When contributions from last year

271
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: are paired next to the figures from twenty twenty one

272
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: and twenty twenty, they show an industry that shows no

273
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: signs of slowing down, folks. And this is the kind

274
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: of thing we want to see across the country. These

275
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: are the type of things that we want to see

276
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: go down in Oklahoma, and these are the type of

277
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: things we just want to see nationwide, because when you

278
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: see states making money like this, and you see the

279
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: last figures from the Michigan Department of Treasury, which reported

280
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety eight point four million in revenue

281
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: from the recreational pot last year, another sixty nine point

282
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: four million will go to school aid funds. Yes, that's

283
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: nice for the schools hurting a lot of these dispensaries

284
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: and whatnot. But they're able to make it, and they're

285
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: still being able to push it. I was going to ask,

286
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: what about the what about the growers, what about because

287
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: of all those they're selling it, they're making the money

288
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: they buy it from the you know, the their taxes

289
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: aren't like ours. They're not They're not hit as hard

290
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: over there. No, No No, well, I mean I hear a

291
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: lot of I hear a lot of the cannabis companies,

292
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: you know, talking about how hard it is in the cannabis.

293
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: It's hard everywhere, don't get it twisted. But they're not

294
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: getting as hard as they are from California. California taxes

295
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: are ridiculous, more than everybody else and a lot of everywhere.

296
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: Who was it, uh, what's his name from HGVC grow

297
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: Brian Buckley. He was actually explaining to me how Michigan

298
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: has it pretty good, like the way they're doing their taxes,

299
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: the way they're doing these things. He literally was talking

300
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: to some congressmen, going here, if we could follow things

301
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: that Michigan are doing, will be off and to a

302
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: better place for everybody to make money. Because even looking this,

303
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: sixty nine point four million dollars is going to the

304
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: transportation Fund. In total, one point eight billion in sales

305
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: from cannabis last year. To put the context, there were

306
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: three hundred and forty one million in total sales in

307
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. In twenty twenty twenty EXCI in twenty twenty one,

308
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: the state reported one point one billion in sales, so

309
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: three hundred forty one million in twenty twenty, in twenty

310
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: twenty one, one point one billion. So I went from

311
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: the M to the B. Folks. Yeah, I heard that,

312
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: you don't feel me, and here we are. You know

313
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: what's interesting is that I would think that Colorado would

314
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: have this instead of Michigan. Well, in my theories, and

315
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: I don't know market wise if Michigan is much bigger

316
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: than Colorado because they're off mid mid over there, but

317
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: I would think Michigan's got to be bigger with more

318
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: population if they're making that much more money. That's what

319
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: my dice roll thinks quickly in my head. I only

320
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: say that because Colorado was the first to legalize it,

321
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: they were population wise, you don't got to realize what

322
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Geographically, they don't have as many people. Dog,

323
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: that's the problem with Colorado. Yes they did it, but

324
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: like just like California. You used to look at Los Angeles.

325
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: We're like to say, say to PAF of Colorado, in

326
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: ten people living in the United States living California, I

327
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: mean that's ten percent. That's yeah. So when you just

328
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: look at the population wise, and that's why California just

329
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: kills it so much, and that's where they're taxing everybody

330
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: so much. And that go ahead, Joe, and it's just

331
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: a reason why you could do so much and find

332
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: out what the markets are in Michigan compared to Colorado.

333
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,239
Speaker 1: Because you're right, that's a good point. But I just

334
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: think what I've heard, and I don't know exactly how

335
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: they're doing it all breaking it down tax wise and

336
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: everything out, but look at these numbers. They're doing good.

337
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: And I don't hear about them complaining so much out

338
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: of Michigan, not that I know fifteen twenty dispensaries like

339
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: I do out here. Yeah, But and you know, I

340
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: don't know a lot of people that are pushing it

341
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: in Michigan. Matter of fact, if you're out in Michigan

342
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: and you are a licensed facility, please give me a

343
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: call at one eight twenty nineteen eighty and let's get

344
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: you on to talk about this, because these numbers look

345
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: great and I'm not hearing people from Michigan complains so much.

346
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: Once again, I don't know you that much to hear that,

347
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: but not true with this. I mean, we just talked

348
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: to our friend, Um that's building the canary out there, right.

349
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,239
Speaker 1: That's why he said he can do that big old

350
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: whoop whoop out there, because he said the mayor was

351
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: gonna smoke a joint and Dree can be with him

352
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: at that at fields Canary. It's just it's just amazing

353
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: and I am stoked for it. It's funny how the

354
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: conversation is not only like, let's see, you're interviewing the president,

355
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: it's not your stance on cannabis legalization, but now it's

356
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: you know, graduated to what's your stance on cannabis tax

357
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: where it goes past the legalization. Now it's like, okay,

358
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: we got you. Now, what are you gonna do about this? Right?

359
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: And it makes sense because it's like you want to

360
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: be able to allow these companies to flourish, and you

361
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: want them to be able to hire more people, and

362
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: you want them to be able to pay their taxes. Yes,

363
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: but we got to treat these companies like a normal company.

364
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: We can't treat them like they're making that much money.

365
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: Handed were footing you guys, if you're listening thinking, but

366
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: they do. Realistically, folks, look at this cannabis industry in California.

367
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 1: They're hurting. They're the largest point out Kereley's pulling out

368
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: of California. I mean, it's not a joke of like, no,

369
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: it ain't it like when you thought it was. When

370
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: those guys are hurting and their peers are hurting, it's

371
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: it's a wake up Paul. I think it's hey, guys,

372
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: we might have fucked this thing up. And Glasshouse is

373
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: a big one out here in California. Folks. Where do

374
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: I have to see on here soon? And you know,

375
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: I've talked to him personally and it's not as great

376
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: as it sounds. They had a profit. I believe the

377
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 1: last read if not yet to shut out or somethy

378
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: he's scraping. Yeah, you know, um cannabis cills in California

379
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 1: actually decreasing for like the first time since they got legalized. Um,

380
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: it's because of all the tax it's making the prices exorbitant.

381
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: Well and of course it's all the weaker showing up

382

422
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,200

426
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: nine million. I didn't Colorado, It's Columbia. So I so

427

455
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 1: good There was a running back way back when when

456
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: they beat those Packers and they didn't let them go.

457
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: As a as a Bears fan, dad was a sight

458
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: to see. Are you working with this one when mister

459
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: bear came here. Uh not my mcmon Jim McMahon, were

460
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: you here, You know, Jim McMahon was here not too

461
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: long ago. We should call Jim. You just Jim McMahon's

462
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: a good buddy of ours. I got one of these.

463
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: Jim's a good deal. Let's go. So look, I have

464
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: a question, diego Okay, So you looked up all the populations.

465
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: Now what are the numbers in comparison to California and Michigan.

466
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: It's I'm good, um, because they have ten million, we

467
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: have thirty nine million, let's say forty million or four times,

468
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: you know, four times the size, and then you have

469
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: Colorado at five million. So I want to know which

470
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: state that has legal marijuana for recreation. Michigan doubles Colorado,

471
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: by the way. So if you look at these numbers

472
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: right now, let me give you something. Let me go

473
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: where you're going. Yeah, I got it. So from just

474
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: hearing that analytics that he's given right now, Well, I'm

475
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: not talking top grocing. When we talked about why not

476
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: Colorado and why out this and that? And I said

477
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:05,479
Speaker 1: population to answer that question with more thought behind it,

478
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: as you just gave these numbers. Colorado has half of

479
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: what Michigan has population wise on these quick numbers. Right,

480
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: so now you're looking at why there's sixty million, why

481
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: this and that, and how they're making more money in

482
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: Diego is thinking why don't they make more money out

483
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: there in Colorado because they have half the people of Michigan.

484
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: And when I said Michigan, I was thinking that was

485
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: a bigger market. Anyways, in Colorado. You want to hear this,

486
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 1: hold on, wait till we go to commercial. But now

487
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: we're on the third break right now, he probably want

488
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: to tell us when we're off air. Definitely will, but

489
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 1: go ahead and tell us now we're on the air.

490
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: Gets into Marcus is still confused. I don't get the joke. California, Washington,

491
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: and Illinois lead in cannabis tax collection. Oh of course,

492
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: and you know why that is s they don't want

493
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: us to be happy. No, because of the amount of

494
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 1: people population that they're selling more cannabis, because of course,

495
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: the higher taxes in California. But you gotta look at

496
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: the bigger markets, right, That's why it's gonna be crazy

497
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 1: once it opens in New York, you guys. And that's

498
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: where when it goes nuts out there. And that's why

499
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: when we talked about it earlier, saying would you open

500
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: up a dispensary and all that, Yes, because it's gonna

501
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: pop out there. Why because there's so many people. Oh ridiculous.

502
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: Oh man, you know what I'm saying. So that's why

503
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: when you have a lot of people, you have a

504
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: lot of patience, You're gonna be able to make a

505
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: lot more money. Joe. When you live in San Francisco,

506
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 1: New York, Austin the big you know those hubs, big,

507
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,239
Speaker 1: You're not going to the tense guys. You're gonna go

508
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: to a med men look Indian apple looking shop. You

509
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: know that makes you feel comfortable, but tenders educated me.

510
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: I'm going to hate Nashbury full. I'm I bought stuff

511

00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: buy setting off Hayte Nashbury. You can still go to

513
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 1: the Mission District walk and get a bag of a

514
00:26:55,480 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: few things. Across the bridge. You go to Berkeley on telegraph,

515
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 1: you can still get some shit on telegraph and there.

516
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you get done in two hours. I love

517
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: the baby man. Don't go to E one foe. What

518
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: is that. I think it's interesting how those where's the

519
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: e one foe in Oakland? Oh? East fourteenth? Okay, that

520
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: that's what you meant. I didn't know East fourteenth was

521
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: no joke. They'll call it these fourteenth the more I

522
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: think they called Martin Luther King Boulevard. Now wow. Yeah,

523
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: So when you said one four that's like you talking

526
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: Where were you gonna say, Marcus? Yeah, I was gonna say,

527
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting. Um, you said it was Texas, California,

528
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: and what Illinois? That were the top three? Texas, California, Washington, Washington, Washington.

529
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: All right, I don't know too much about Washington. California

530
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: and Illinois makes sense. I mean those are two like

531
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: huge growing states. My family's from Illinois, my my grandma's side,

532
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: so I've been out of Farmland. I'm puzzled by it too,

533
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, Marcus sCOD Wow, I didn't

534
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 1: it was gonna be that many people, especially because like

535
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: you know, Michigan, like m I didn't realize romping that

536
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: much with them. Here's the thing that that people in

537
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: California don't realize about the Midwest. Is that hold your tongue, youngster.

538
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: So it is so so boring. You guys have it all.

539
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 1: You have it all at your fingertips. We're lucky to

540
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: even look at some water. Maybe we have Lake Michigan,

541
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 1: but we have corn, maybe a couple targets, some wheat,

542
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: some some we you know, I'm not gonna lie personally,

543
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: like my wife's from Kansas, right and I've been back there,

544
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: and then you know, I'm born and raised in San

545
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: Jose Bay Area and I came to LA and I've

546
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: always been a big city cats. You know, San Jose's

547
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: eleventh largest city in the nation in this net so

548
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: I've never lived in anything rural than you know, fricking Monrovia.

549
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: He was saying, like the Santa Clarita, which are still

550
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: bigger cities, and that in Orange County out here. But

551
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: when you say that, diego Personally. Now that I'm a

552
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: little older and I have kids, like, I feel like

553
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: i'd love it, like I would love to live. I

554
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't like that cold weather, but I don't have a

555
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: problem with slow back or don't have a butt like Okay,

556
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: we'll go and then a bad thing like that's why

557
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: the Midwest is so loved because they raise their families

558
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: out there. It's a beautiful thing. Like I'm sure you

559
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: came from a good family. I hope at least I

560
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: know that. My mom definitely told me that. I forget

561
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: the fact, but it was. It was one of the

562
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: just telling them. Now out of America, the like the

563
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: places that have the nicest people, like genuine good people

564
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: are people from the Midwest. It's always been said that's

565
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: Southern hospitality. Yeah, I mean, you know, how is your family?

566
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: You've said a lot of fans in the Midwest too, right, Yeah,

567
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: and then the good side would you how about this?

568
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: This is a perfect question for you, and this is

569
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: a great ancdotal question. Would your family that's from the

570
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: Midwest be considered the better side of the family are,

571
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: because like, how about this from mine, like my mom's side,

572
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: for instance, we got some relatives from the Fresno area.

573
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: They're not considered the better side of that family time

574
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: they're well they are, but we know what we tell

575
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: you know where Fresno was Diego? Do I know where? No?

576
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: I just know? Okay, So Fresno is like an armpit

577
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: of California. It's like this is that's what it's considered.

578
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: The bulldog. Fresno State is over there. You hear state

579
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: my favorite and so my point is out at my point, yeah,

580
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: I end it out about five when you go. So

581
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: for you, Marcus, would your family be considered that's the

582
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: good family? Honestly? Uh No, I would say the family

583
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: that's from California is actually a little bit better. It's good.

584
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: It's all arous, it's all it's all neighborhoods. There are

585
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: a lot of nice people out here. I will say

586
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: in Chicago you get flipped off a lot when you're driving.

587
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: Shut your mouth. But then again, I'm goggle. I'm biased

588
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: because as a as a Latino male, um going to

589
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: places that are predominantly you know, um white, where I

590
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: would be a minority. It's a little bit of a

591
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: culture shot. It's uh, it's very weird out there, at

592
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: least for someone like me who's who's mixed, you know,

593
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: where you're used to being the majority out here and

594
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: not getting looked at like me too. When I went

595
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: to Kansas Dog, it was like I felt like a

596
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: big fat thumb. Yeah, you know what, I mean like

597
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: and now that people knew I was coming to town,

598
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,479
Speaker 1: like oh hey Joe, Yeah, Like I didn't looked at

599
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: like right off the plane, like that's something I've never

600
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: experienced in my life. Yeah, unless I was like with

601
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: my friends at stores. But I mean, you know, oh no,

602
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: that happened through. That happened to me at that which

603
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,320
