Speaker 1: in good old nineteen seventy three, forty nine years ago, folks.

37
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: They moved out there where they started a successful family

38
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: food service distribution companies, still operating today generating millions of dollars.

39
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: Now they currently own an indoor cannabis cultivation facility out

Speaker 1: there and Needles as well, and entered into the legal

41

00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,880

47
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: Make sure you check out their website governors Cultivation dot

48
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: com social media and I g and all that other

49
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: good stuff is Governor's Cut underscore official. And I like

50
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: what I read on the website, gentlemen, which is when

51
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: I did the about us, and it says Governors Cut

52
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: Cultivation is a family owned and operated indoor cultivation facility

53
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: located in Needles, California. They like to think of themselves

54
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: as a small batch craft cultivators. Unlike many of the

55
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: large scale indoor operations. They focus on quantity over quality.

56
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: Now quality to me, if I read that right, my

57
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: dyslexy I kicked in. They focus on quality over quantity.

58
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: People always ask what makes them different from other brands

59
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: in the industry, and it's very simple, no outside parties,

60
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: just two brothers and a son who are hands on

61
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: in every operational aspect from seed to sale. So welcome

62
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: to the show, gentlemen. Give him a round of applause,

63
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: and and you know what, it was very memorable. I

64
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: literally remember the conversation exactly where I was standing outside,

65
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: because when we were talking, one of the things that

66
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: stood out to me was that, a it's a family

67
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: owned business. The brother wasn't there, it was his father

68
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: and son. But also hearing Gramps is involved too, so

69
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: there's the three generations and Graham's still smokes weed and

70
00:03:54,920 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: everything else. So, like I said, the conversation was men, morble,

71
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: your guys personality was memorable. I had a great time

72
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: with you there. But to just remember, like when I

73
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: seen you guys, well come back, hey, I remember, I

74
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: remember you too. Oh my god. We met at MG

75
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: Bizz at the party, and then I was in my

76
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: head going Grandpa was supposed to come, and then I

77
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: was like, he's a little young to be your father.

78
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: Well we thought about bringing Gramps along. That we thought

79
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: another time. But he's a he's a real riot. He's

80
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: got to know us. A little better. Yeah, he's got

81
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: he's got no filter when you when you get to

82
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: talk to him, he'll tell you the way it is.

83
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: Plus someone had to stay back and run the day business.

84
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: So right, somebody's got to keep that going. So let

85
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: me get to it right away. I mean, I just

86
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: heard you guys are from Orange, which is cool. You

87
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: guys got the southern California time move out to Needles,

88
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: which is funny because Blue has got a place out there,

89
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: and Needles as well, which is even more ironically. I

90
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: think we talked about that at the play the party. Yeah,

91
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: we just went over and went over the whole where

92
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: it's yeah, exactly, and how from family distribution company? What

93
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: is the distribution What do you guys do there? First off? So, uh, yeah,

94
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: we basically we distribute food and products, you know, whether

95
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: it's restaurants, UM, convenience stores, supermarkets. We're the guy that

96
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: brings the food to uh, to the table, you know,

97
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: to wherever you're you know, wherever you're at. So um,

98
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's been a forty five year we've

99
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: been involved in it, since we moved out to Needles,

100
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: and it's uh, it's been something that's always been a

101
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: family run and uh, you know that's the way you know,

102
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: our father was. He expected us to uh to come

103
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,559
Speaker 1: to work every day, put in a hard day's work,

104
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: and you know, it's taught us a lot of good

105
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: valuable lessons on what we you know, bring to uh,

106
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, the cannabis side as well, so and so

107
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: doing that company. I mean, I believe I said, you

108
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: guys started your cannabis industry in two thousands seventeen. How

109
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: does that go from distributing food everywhere going I think

110
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: we want to get into this cannaby scheme. Well, there's

111
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 1: a lot of similarities in the two businesses. You've got

112
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: climate control, Uh, you've got distribution, you have you know,

113
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: the acquiring products. So uh that that and also our

114
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 1: retail presence is what's kind of driven us to where

115
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: we're at today. We were the guy that goes and

116
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: puts the milk bottle on the shelf and the guy

117
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: that puts the ice cream in the cabinet. So we decided,

118
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: you know, we can do this. You know, we can

119
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: go in and we can create an environment where we

120
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: are servicing these accounts, you know, on a bi weekly basis. Yeah,

121
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: putting in orders, rotating product, making sure the shelves are

122
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: clean and sanitary. That's what we do on our dairy

123
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: side of our retail business. So it's just fit for

124
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: us and we think it's a good niche let me

125
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: ask you guys this, let's back up a little bit

126
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: real quick, because you know what what high school do

127
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: you guys go to? Hi? Hi? I went to the

128
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: one down the road River Valley. Whoever trained? This guy's

129
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: the house? Because this this kid's everywhere he shows that

00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: pops up. Hey, what's up, dude? There you are? Oh yeah,

131
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: he's a gem like governor. He's representing hard he does.

132
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: He pulls up everywhere And I love that kind of hustle,

133
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: right because you can't. You know, it's something you have to.

134
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: It's got to be instilled in you. You know, he

135
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: grew up in that family business with that work ethic. Yeah,

136
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: it really does. Now, Now, what's the name of your guys?

142
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: We were actually Needles frozen food lockers back in those days.

00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: And Dad was delivering milk bottles, you know, home delivery,

Speaker 1: white suit and the slide door truck. Are you hiding?

156
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: free to to say whatever you'd like. But you know,

157
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: there was a point where you said, you know, you

158
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 1: were going after your license. You met some guys that

159
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: didn't work out. Let's let's go into that story first,

160
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: because those are some of the things that people need

161
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: to know, you know about your guys struggle. You know

162
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: it did just come here because you had money and

163
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: you all of a sudden you're in this this industry.

164
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: There's a bigger, deeper story. Can you guys show that

165
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: with me? Yeah, I think I can start off with

166
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: that one. You know, growing up, I was always you know, born,

167
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: raised under that family environment, always hustling, you know, working

168
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: for what I wanted. And you know, so I had

169
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: a landscaping business boat deep telling and I was doing

170
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: that since you know, thirteen years old up to you know, eighteen,

171
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: I graduated high school. You know, I built up over

172
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: twenty plus accounts, and you know, one of the accounts

173
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: happened to have a buddy who was in the industry

174
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: down here, and I had a lot of guys who

175
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: were backing him financially, and they saw our our warehouse,

176
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: and so that's kind of how all the talks started.

177
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: And you know, I connected him when he was like, hey,

178
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: do you mind, uh, you know, connecting me to your

179
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: pops and your uncle, I'm like, man, I don't know,

180
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: if you know, I don't know what they would think.

181
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: So they might know that I'm so at then age,

182
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: he didn't know much about our past, right, So I'm like, hey, Pops,

183
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: call this guy, see what it's about, and he calls

186
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: of like the whole uh, you know, it's basically how

187
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: it started. Man. It was so random and it just

Speaker 1: You know, we connected the right people in the industry,

191
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: and here we are. And now because I feel like

205
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: and this is how much profound we're gonna make. And yeah,

206
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: we were, you know, we were ready to shut down

207
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: the family business, you know, turn the cold storage. And

208

Speaker 1: We're getting all these wheels in motion and putting everything together.

212
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: You know, we decide, okay, let's get these permits going

213
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: because there's a big rush at that time. You know,

214
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: if you don't get in line quick, you're gonna be

215
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: waiting years up. So we did what we had to do.

216
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: We hawked all of you know, everything we had to

217
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: cash in our four one ks um and got these permits.

218
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: And right as we get on the guy, we get

219
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 1: the call, you know, hey, sorry guys, I'm out, and

220
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: we're like, holy sh it, what are we gonna We're

221
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: Santa no kids, and we're like, what are we gonna

222
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: do in the city is basically, hey, you know, you

223
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: better use your cup or we're pulling it. And uh

224
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 1: so that's when we decided to wrap your head around

225
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: it wrapped our head around it and you know, and

226
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: do it. This is after we had already the city

227
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: didn't really like where we were located. They wanted to

228
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: kind of keep things over here, and we're over here,

229
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: and so we were too close to a school or

230
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: too close to a church. Were two close to a

231
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: Girl Scout building. So you know, we just went to

232
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: each one of them and we said, hey, you know,

233
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: you know, you know church, church, you know, I mean,

234
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: what what what's your needs? You know, what are you

235
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: guys doing here? And it was a small building. They said, well,

236
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: we need a bigger building. So we made that happen.

237
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: And the little school that was over there was an

238
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 1: outreach for kids who had been suspended from the main

239
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: high school. Went to the superintendent, you know, I have

240
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: to pay for all these cultivation kids coming into town,

241
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 1: if you could provide me with a building without rent,

242
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: So we made that happen. And the Girl Scout building

243
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: was vacant, but they made us buy that too. Anyways,

244
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: so we had to jump through a lot of hurdles

245
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: to make this happen. And then not only that, you're

246
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,119
Speaker 1: adding to the community there and doing your due diligence

247
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: of being a part of the community, which that's what

248
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: I'm hearing. Yes, it's a struggle, but you're also doing

249
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: right by it even though it's hitting your pockets of

250
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: course as a family business, but you're really giving back

251
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: to the community because in at risk school like that,

252
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: let's just call it what it is, right kids that

253
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: are at risk. And then to think of it going

254
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: some of those at risk kids might have got kicked

255
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,719
Speaker 1: out for some cannabis related something. Who knows, fighting, who

256
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: knows there's a in this reasons, you know, and then

257
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: they can see that, wow, a cannabis company can be

258
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: something that I can get into to make up career

259
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: out of. Even so you're really just I see it

260
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: a being a good cycle in a small town. The

261
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: depths of it, we're kind of amazing. We were. The

262
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: building we bought for the school was owned by the Elks.

263
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: The Elks need a new roof. They couldn't afford it

264
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: that you know, it just went on and on. It was.

265
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: We really helped a lot of things happen in that town.

266
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: And you know, a lot of people would have just

267
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: tried to beat through every system and not do any

268
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: of those things and just try to you know, but

269
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: it instead he went straight up and and and handled

270
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: each individual one, which tells us a lot of character

271
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: abouts you guys. So I would agree, and not only that,

272
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: it makes me feel like I didn't know this part

273
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: of the story at all. Right, So, hearing this part

274
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: of the story about Governor's cut, that this is what

275
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: you guys a had to go through because you got

276
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: screwed by a guy, and then realizing all the stories

277
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: that we hear about that go down in the industry.

278
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: Too close to schools, too close to churches, you know,

279
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: all these things that we've constantly heard, and we know

280
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: about the regulations, but to think that that's what you

281
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: guys did about it rather than burn it down. And

282
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: we even had to do the sidewalks as but you know,

283
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: the city made the cannabis guys. We do side rocks,

284
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: and we do alleys and put an infrastructure, some flower

307
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: a school? This is like something that's on Google, this

308
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: is something that's on everything the district. I mean, you

309
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like, how do you convince the

310
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: whole district and everybody else? You know what I'm down

311
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: to move the school? Yeah, it was a for cannabis

312
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: at that for cannabis. Yeah, that's the most of the

313
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: kids got kicked of the high school board, right. You know,

314
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: well we got pushed in, you know. I mean, oh,

315
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: you know, we're in this thing. We're already you know,

316
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: up to here, and these hurdles keep coming our way

317
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: and we're just like, you know, the city's coming to us.

318
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: And they're like you gotta you know, there's a school

319
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: you've got a clearance issue, and we're like, no way.

320
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: So we start checking the distances and we're like five

321
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: hundred and nine were like five feet away from We're like,

322
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: what are we gonna do? Well, you know, they're kind

323
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: of on a in this old strip mall. It was

324
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: kind of like just a building. The City and Needle

325
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: or the Needle school district, you know, didn't have a

326
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: lot of extra money. So you know, we're like, what

327
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: the hell. Let's go sit down with the superintendent named

328
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: Dr Mary and very nice lady, and we told her

329
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: what we wanted to do. We said, you know, we're like,

330
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: no way is she gonna go for this. We want

331
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: to move her to grow cannabis. That's kind of conflicting

332
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: with all the school ethics yeah, like and she you know,

333
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: she's I don't know, David. We're like, here's what we're

334
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: gonna offer you. You know, we want to move you

335
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: to a nicer building and a better location. Your kids

336
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: will love it. And she's like, I'm all about it.

337
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: If it's better for the kids, it's better for the students.

338
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: She goes, I'm on board. And it worked out she

339
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: was paying rent for this building. So she said, you know,

340
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: these extra kids that are gonna be coming in, I'm

341
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: gonna have to teach him and educate them. So you know,

342
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: I need everything I can get to help that effort.

343
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 1: So you give me a rent free building, and and heck, yeah,

344
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: I have to accept that not just a woman. Did

00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: you guys do that for life? I mean, how does

383
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: You know, he goes in every day. How much you

385
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: eighty three. But and you know what's funny is you

386
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: know he comes from a generation where you know, this

387
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: is Devil's where you don't do you know, smoke it.

388
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: You'll you know, you'll be doing heroin before you know.

389
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: It's a gateway drug and everything else. What about your mom?

390
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: How did your mom look at it? You know what

391
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: she's uh, you know, she's all on board. You know,

392
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: Mom's all about if it makes money. Well, the thing's

393
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: been interesting to about the about what's happened to the

394
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: older generation as they discovered that. You know, back in

395
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: the day, it was you know, drink your wine at night,

396
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: maybe take opiuch, you know, do things that were really

397
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: bad for your body to help your pain. Well now

398
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: they're all you know, taking the gummy, you know, and

399
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: just and doing those things, and it's it's helping him

400
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: a lot, and it's not nearly as bad for him

401
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: is the old way. So your parents actually and just cannabis,

402
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: they tell us at CBD, but I look at the back,

403
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: this CBD ain't strong enough. So great is that, Derek?

404
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: Like Mom? That package not four point two? Dad, ain't

405
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: the whole buttered popcorn? Right, Like Dad's sitting there, he's

406
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 1: watching this blake screen. This is a great game, Dad.

407
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: The TV's not on watching sixty minutes. But you know,

408
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: if it cuts back on those other crutches, you know that.

409
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: You know when you get older, you got pain, you know, Yeah,

410
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: it was a better way to deal with it. You know.

411
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: It's funny because in my home is it was never illegal, right,

412
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: I mean my mom. It was with my mom, but

413
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't with my dad's looks like the state and

414
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: the feds, right, Like you know, I could get caught

415
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: with my daddy, is like I just steal some of

416
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: his weed or heids here I joined. My mom sees me.

417
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: It was like your dad. Yeah, yeah, you know, so

418
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: it was kind of like I had to hide it

419
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: from her. But my dad he couldn't. He could smoke

420
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: in the house, but not in front of us, all

421
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: the whole house. That's I grew up with it. So

422
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: it wasn't you my dad. My dad wouldn't even miss

423
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: the whole pounds. Right. So now as we go to

424
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: Governor's cut cannabis, how many different product lines? Excused do

425
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: you guys have? What is your guys specialties? So right

426
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: now we're currently you know, we're trying to keep the

427
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: thing simple and you know, do them right. You know,

428
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of you know, a bigger

429
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: brands you don't jump out, you know, over their heads.

430
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,360
Speaker 1: So we're going simple with a three and a half

431
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: grand Flower jars or seven Graham smalls and you know

432
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: our one Graham straight up flower pre rolls, no bullshit trim,

433
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: none of that, you know, just doing things right. And

434
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: I build a lot of this data by getting our

435
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: whole goal. When I decided to launch this brand, you know,

436
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: I said, hey, we need to do this. You know

437
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: that the market was you know, starting to trend downwards

438
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 1: on the bulk pricing and We're like, we gotta get

439
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: closer with and consumers. So I built my data. I

440
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: reached out to you know, um customers in the shops,

441
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: talked about tenders, talk to owners, you know, just building

442
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 1: that data. So really trying to figure out the best

443
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: skews to bring, you know, to the table that we

444
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: can you know, execute on small amounts because you can

445
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: spread it out farther and have bigger revenue for you

446
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 1: guys as a company. You know, how many stories, how

447
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: many stores are you guys currently? We're in currently ten

448
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: ten retail stores right now, and then we have two

449
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: delivery systems that we're in and it's just just work

450
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 1: and work and work and trying to build that number up.

451
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, sometimes it's funny because a lot

452
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 1: of people are like, I want to be in more stores,

453
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: and you know, and I'm gonna give you guys advice

454
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: from from what I know. You know, sometimes it's not

455
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: about the most stores, it's about the right stores exactly, operators,

456
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 1: because as you guys may know, some people don't pay

457
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: their bills, you know, and and it's you know, there's

458
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: been a roller coaster, but you know, I've been in

459
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: this industry so long that I've seen this roller coaster already,

460
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: Like I've already been a part of this. I've been

461
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: a part of the market going away the hell up,

462
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: come away down, and then and then leveling out that

463
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: people disappearance with your weed. And then every holiday it's

464
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 1: like that's the worst time to give people stuff because

465
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: they're trying to load up for themselves. And then and

466
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: then you know, right about now they start coming back.

467
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: Well here I got your money. If they're somewhat good,

468
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: you know, And it's just kind of like this this

469
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: roller coaster. Well, I think you guys have a good product. Actually,

470
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: you know what was this all a smelling here? So

471
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: this is our mile high BUSCOTTI that's a biscotti discs

472
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: one fired, dude, I haven't I agree. I looked at

473
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: both of those jars that open up. But I'm just

474
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: like so good to touch the field, the sticky icky,

475
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 1: the crystals you can look at. We're real proud of these,

476
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: you know. I got to give the props to Derek.

477
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: You know, he's a madman when it comes into um,

478
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: you know, the cultivation side of things. We do things differently,

479
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: you know from other cultivations in the industry, Like what

480
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 1: like care you mean like go go into a Derek. Well,

481
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: what what we know is um is we have to

482
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: work on the quality. We're not going to stay up

483
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: with the big guys with the quantity and and nothing

484
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: against them. That's their market. You know, they need to

485
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: be able to to get the most they can out

486
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: of those facilities. But what you find when you start

487
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: that machine is that your mother's and your clones and

488
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: your and your and your vege have to push the

489
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: flower out of the room because you can't say, oh,

490
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: the trikes aren't ready yet. It doesn't matter that the

491
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: rest of it's coming. So you gotta pull it. You

492
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 1: gotta get it out of the room. So we didn't

493
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: want to take that avenue. So we we want to

494
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: we want to finish the product all the way. So

495
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: if it takes fourteen weeks, we're gonna go fourteen weeks.

496
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: If we have to burn a couple of weeks with

497
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: a room without product ready to go into it, we're

498
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: gonna do that because we want to make sure that

499
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 1: that product is finished. The trikes are perfect, the everything

500
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: that we want, the nose on that we want all

501
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: aspects of it, because that's that's what we're doing in

502
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: this industry. That's our niche. It's craft cannabis, and we

503
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: want that product finished. We do not want to pull

504
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: it prematurely because we've got this machine coming that has

505
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: to push that product out of those rooms because otherwise

506
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: the otherwise those are ain't gonna work. You know. I

507
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: like that that's even part of the logo. I didn't

508
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: realize it because David's head was in the way where

509
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: where craft says, and I'm like, you're right, it is

510
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,479
Speaker 1: a craft cannabis and smelling. I'm like, oh sho, it's

511
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: part of your guys' slogo and lower slogan and logan slogan.

512
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: You had tied a boat to day together there. And

513
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: I believe what we've talked about before is companies like

514
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,479
Speaker 1: your guys are going to be the ones that can

515
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: sustain because it's that craft style, just like those craft

516
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: beers right the most of this and that I feel

517
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: like seeing us and hearing what you were saying, how

518
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: you guys are doing yours, that's what's gonna be unique

519
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: about your guys brand. On top of the story I

520
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: just heard about what you guys have went through and

521
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 1: the three generations of family dynamic of what you guys

522
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: are doing. I've been impressed with the company, even more

523
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: so now hearing what you said, your story about it.

524
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: But hearing you guys in Vegas when we met organically

525
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: at an outside venue that was nothing pushed us together.

526
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: And I love now even more so the way it smells,

527
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: the way it looks hearing your guys story. Are you

528
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: guys planning now to try to do this in other states,

529
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 1: to be a multi state operator. I mean, at this point,

530
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: we've got our hands full right here, you know, and

531
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, we just want to take it

532
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: one day at a time and just really focus on

533
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: when we go to these events like we're you know,

534
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: at the Bear Flag you know, can a casino the

535
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: other night, we just came in third place, by the way. No, No,

536
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 1: the thing is is is I didn't even know we

537
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: were playing for a rolex and and uh, but I

538
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,359

00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: and my friends and family. I love those guys. But

541
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: I got robbed at the table by the by the

542
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 1: Flag folk. No, No, it wasn't their fault. It was

543
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: the casino guy. So the guys the chip leader, and

544
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there winning and then all of a sudden,

545
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: the guys like, hey, we're gonna color these up. And

546
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: I had all these black chips, right, I had the

547
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: whole table's black chips, right, and there was like, you know,

548
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: the five thousand dollar chips, and then he gave me

549
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: a stack of three chips and he was like those

550
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: a thousand dollar chips. And I'm like and I'm like, hey,

551
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: I'm more than three thousand here, I've got more than

552
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: three thousands and all that, but he gave me five chips.

553
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 1: So he gave me three five chips, So I caught

554
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: the dealer caught it. The dealers like hey, and he's

555
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 1: like and they started arguing with each other, and then

556
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: they're arguing with each other and then he gives this

557
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: this guy like ten uh thousand dollar chips and the

558
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: guy's like whoa, whoa. The dealers like freaking out, and

559
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, guys, listen, it's for charity, dude, like just stop.

560
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: Like they were arguing, yeah, and then I got my

561
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: ask with like you know, yeah, I think that was

562
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: the dealer. I tossed a pre roll beforehand Canada. But anyways,

563
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 1: that was my story. But I really think I could

564
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: have won that night if I if I get I

565
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: kind of got hustled at the table. It's funny, it was,

566
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 1: and they see that going down soon because we're all

567
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: sitting right there and I'm like, guys, if I win this,

568
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 1: uh you know the role like I'm giving it back

569
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: to you guys, like let's let's roll it again. You

570
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: know that's funny. Going back to the multi state operator, David,

571
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: as you say day to day, in my belief looking

572
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: at companies and seeing their worth, work, ethics, your guys

573
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: are the type of company you know. Granted, if you

574
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: think of the Kirklands that are of course bigger and

575
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: to go huge like that, but everything from talking to

576
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: you guys, everything I just said, You're guys are the

577
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: ones I'm cheering for to be a craft brand that

578
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: starts off like this and then goes to that next state.

579
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: So I look at you guys and go, dude, you're

580
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: what that next state needs. Because if people are doing

581
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: what you say, Derek, and you're waiting for the for

582
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: the cannabis to be that right, who cares like that? Well,

583
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: you know, let me chime in one second. I want

584
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: to kind of go into that to Derek and Dave,

585
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: and I think you guys have something real special because

586
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: you're one. You know, you probably own the buildings, right,

587
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: so you don't have these crazy overheads, no balloon payments,

588
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: all this other stuff. Um, you had to do it

589
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: from the from the you know, from the ground up.

590
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: You had to go in there and build it. Because

591
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: you're in the middle of needles. You didn't have a

592
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: lot of supporting guarantee you. There was just not And

593
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: so you're in a small town and your family has

594
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: had a legacy there. So I think, you know, kind

595
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: of a little obviously, I think he's in a great

596
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: place because you can really fine tunes. You got build

597
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: something real nice, have a nice family business, take care

598
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: of yourselves as another revenue stream for you, keep it smart,

599
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: keep it simple, and then you know, if you get

600
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: the opportunity someone wants to branch out from it, you know,

601
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: maybe license to name something like that. But but I

602
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: mean they're in a great spot. Like a lot of

603
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: these operators, I watched them going these little they gotta

604
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: buy a building, they're renting a building. Yeah, you don't

605
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: have it all. They bought the building when the building

606
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: was inflated. Because everybody is hyped up. If you're I

607
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: mean these guys, I don't know how we feel good

608
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: right now. One of the things that that we're excited

609
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: about is, you know, we're not a fledgling market right now.

610
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: It's a bit of a struggle for a lot of people,

611
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: including us. This is Nate's first big effort out here.

612
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: He's gonna only got one way to go. It's only

613
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: going up from here. The market is gonna stabilize, the

614
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: people are gonna make it, gonna make it. It's gonna

615
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: become a business. Needles is going to be a great

616
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: place to grow cannabis. We have very cheap power, we

617
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: have cheap labor, cheap taxes. It's the freight to freight

618
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: cannabis two hundred fifty miles down here to the metropolitan

619
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: areas is nothing. And you can put a million bucks

620
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: in a prius in our food service business, eighty thousand

621
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: pounds cost me four thousand dollars and ship back and forth.

622
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: So you know, I think it's gonna be a lot

623
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: of synergies out there. And Nate here has got nowhere

624
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: to go but up. We we feel good about the future.

625
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: You're right off the forty right right, come on, it's

626
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: the ends. And now it's right there. You're at the

627
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: you're at the border. You know, so when does cross

628
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: it would and we we believe it will, you know.

629
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: Um and and there's distributions on a federal level. It's

630
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: just gonna open up for all of us. And I

631
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: think I said, you're in a great place right there.

632
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of you know, family ties.

633
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: This this isn't be something that adds down to your kids.

634
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: And when you guys are saying, man, we've been here

635
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,959
Speaker 1: since you know, whatever year you were there in nineteen

636
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: seventy three, I wasn't even here on earth yet. Yeah. Yeah,

637
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: we'll be able to tap three different states when it federalizes. Yeah,

638
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: we'll have three different states. You know. Maybe we say,

639
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe I don't know if California is

640
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: gonna keep us competitive or not. We could move across

641
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: the river, you know right now where we're at. But

642
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: you know, but but we're always going to We're always

643
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: going to be competitive in this market. I mean, that

644
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: was my whole thing when I came down here. You know,

645
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: after I graduated U s U, I got that fifty

646
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: thousand always piece of paper, you know, and uh, the

647
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: one thing I really learned, you know, was you know

648
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: how to read market trans and patterns. And that was

649
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: the biggest thing. Is just asking the qualifying questions, getting

650
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: the answers and building the data and doing the small

651
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: things right. So you know, it was very simple, you know,

652
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: darre If Derek goes good weed, I'm confident what I sell.

653
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: So at the end, it all comes down to trust,

654
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: you know. When uh, you know a manager or the

655
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: shop owners. He's at twenty three year old kid coming

656
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: to the shop, like, who the hell is this guy shirt?

657
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: So what does he know? He's like my uncle crew

658
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: this ship. And speaking of that, we're gonna take a

659
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: break real quick, Derek, how did you learn how to

660
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: grow cannabis? When we come back, we're gonna hear that

661
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: story from the Governor's cut Craft Cannabis out of Needles, California.

Speaker 1: It's Cannabis Talk one oh one. When we right back

663
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,600

670
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: grow some more with advanced new treats. I was just

671
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: going to break and Derek, you're the master grower, then, yeah,

672
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: that's what I call myself. So Derek and Derek, Derek

673
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: and I the weed guy. So how does that come about? Derek?

674
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: How do you you're the older brother, you know, how

675
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: do you become the connoisseur of growing? So? Um so?

676
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: Back in the past, you know, we all kind of

677
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: played around with with our with growing. Got real good

678
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: at four plants in a tent, you know, back in

679
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: the day of those kind of things. The challenge came

680
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: along when four plants went to six hundred and a

681
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: thousand plants all of a sudden, that's a whole different

682
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: ball game. Then you really discover what bugs are, and

683
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: you know your route APIs and all these terrible tests

684
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: that you wouldn't think it even be in the desert,

685
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: but boy, they get there. How do you manage them.

686
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: Uh So what we did was, uh we we reached

687
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: out to a lot of the larger growers in town.

688
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: We we helped them out with things we had, Like

689
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 1: you know, a guy would have to move a whole facility.

690
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: We loaned our trucks and he'd say, oh, how much

691
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 1: do I owe you in we'd say, you know, help

692
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: us out with your big growers, you know, help us

693
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: get set up. You know, do we want the rolling tables?

694
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: Do we want the automatic drip systems? Do we want

695
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: all that which we discovered? We did? And you know,

696
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: and then then you know, hey, have you guys gone

697
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: into the royal crop steering yet? You know? And what's that?

698
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 1: And you know a couple of years ago that was

699
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: a game changer, you know, and and you know, now

700
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 1: the latest building we built, I mean, it's we would

701
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: call it state of the art. I mean we've got

702
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: every sensor, every bell, every whistle. I mean, you know,

703
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 1: it's it's made it to where it eliminates the mistakes

704
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: when you're growing in a commercial environment. It's all about

705
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: the mistake because it only takes one and using your

706
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: resources too. Yeah, so you know, you just you know

707
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: that the Royal system. It tells you if one of

708
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,479
Speaker 1: your workers left the lights on during flower. It tells

709
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 1: you if your pump didn't go on, or if you

710
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 1: had a line break with your water content meters. Know,

711
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 1: it tells you when your ecs are getting too high

712
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: needed in flush. You know, things that before you got

713
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: on YouTube. And you know, remember my brother and I

714
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: were first starting out in the in the industry four

715
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: years ago and we go into one of the big

716
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: distributors and the first thing that get we said, hey,

717
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: we're just starting, you know, set us up with some stuff.

718
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: And the guy said, and one more thing, don't go

719
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: on YouTube. And next thing, you know, how many master

720
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: growers are on YouTube? Right, So so we figured out,

721
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: you know, take all that. You know, there's a lot

722
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: of good information out there. There's a lot of great

723
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: stuff to see. But don't believe that guy that's three

724
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: am in the morning making a half million a year

725
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: telling you how to grow. He's like, yeah, I just

726
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: read it myself, but teach these guys how to do

727
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 1: this show. Oh yeah, he's getting he's collecting his own

728
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: back guano and swimming out getting his own kelp, right,

729
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: And I'm just like I don't think so, man, not

730
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: on our levels. So yeah, Now, so basically we uh,

731
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: we were able to make make friends with all the

732
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 1: big houses and see all the different things they've done.

733
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: We've gone from soil to cocoa to UH to grow down.

734
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: Now we're in the slabs. Now, you know, everything just

735
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: kind of gets better. And we're not afraid to try,

736
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 1: you know, we we we run a new strain every time,

737
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: we try a different medium every time. I mean, so

738
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 1: you know, we're we're really just learning and learning and learning.

739
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 1: So are you speaking? He brought up at MAT's engines

740
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: there here are you guys using different nutrients as well?

741
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 1: Because so we started with UM with heavy sixteen, which

742
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: is a great product. But UM but at the time

743
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: I don't believe they had a bagged product, so we

744
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: were freighting water. So being in the transportation industry, we

745
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: realized we were, you know, kind of paying too much

746
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: money for a nutrients. I went to a MJ show

747
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: and too kind for twenty They had a powdered line.

748
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: They said, hey, you're freighting water, which I already knew,

749
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: so I went with them. They have a great product,

750
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 1: great support, but UM just thought here recently maybe we

751
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: should kind of slim that down a little bit. Went

752
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: with ATHENA great product, great support. Those guys have been

753
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: wonderful for us, and we're with them now. Um uh

754
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: the advanced nutrients. You know, I will definitely look at him.

755
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: I I talked to some of those guys, and they

756
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: look like they've got a great program. You know. I

757
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: think I I you at one point in my life,

758
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: you know, I was growing and I couldn't do it

759
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: right I I could do it, but I couldn't stay

760
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 1: in the in the room, meaning like you know, it's

761
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: a it's a job in itself, just being in that

762
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: room all day and and and loving those plants, you know.

763
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: And I'm too much of a personality that I want

764
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 1: to move around, you know. And I'm like, I gotta

765
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,240
Speaker 1: get outside and do this my brother. And it's funny

766
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: because you guys are brothers. It reminds me a lot

767
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: of my dynamic right is. And I'm I'm the son

768
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: you know of of you know, a man very very

769
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: similar to me. Dude. It's like, you know, we have

770
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: we have a lot of close ties. I'm sure we

771
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: know people and needles and and everything else, but you know,

772
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: It's just interesting because again I was in this, the

773
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: growing thing, and then it wasn't for me, you know.

774
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: But but my brother ends up, you know, and I was,

775
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: I was selling weed. I was involved in it, but

776
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: my brother wasn't really that much and that, but he

777
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 1: got way more involved, but my dad was. And then

778
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, my brothers now on the weeds

779
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: and I don't even touch the plan anymore, you know.

780
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 1: But it's just it's funny how it works out. But

781
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: I think you guys are on a great path to

782
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 1: to to getting into more stores, finding out the right

783
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: operators that you can really deal with, aligning with the

784
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,879
Speaker 1: right people, being able to actually get your product out.

785
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: And because you guys are in a unique city, you

786
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 1: have the probably the lowest rent ever or at least

787
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: on the building right, so you have edge as a

788
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 1: competitive edge that a lot of people don't. The market

789
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,919
Speaker 1: is riggety right now. I think a lot of people

790
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: don't know that, you know, the outside if you're not

791
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: really on the inner circle. For us, it's echoing in

792
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 1: the room, like what what's going on? I have no

793
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: fear and this plant is not going anywhere. And as

794
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: long as you stay in that craft. Like you guys

795
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: hit that right on the nose, right, Stay on that craft,

796
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: stay home, base, buckled down for a little bit. It's

797
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 1: gonna go do it'll rise back up and everybody will

798
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 1: be in a very comfortable place. Again. You guys got fired.

799
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: This is gas right here. It's it's good quality and

800
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: and you guys are a good families. So it's just

801
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 1: the stay on the path, you know. I tell people

802
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: stay in the past, down the paths, in the path,

803
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: because the moment you look off the path, you crash.

804
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: You know, if you look too far over here, guess

805
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,919
Speaker 1: what you're over there? You know, Just stay on the path.

806
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: Just start delivering more milk with your cannabis. Put the

807
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: milk on the shelf with the cannay some ice cream.

808
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if kell cannabis and

809
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: like them. But maybe someday I wish you guys would

00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: That's that's the way it should be. And now the

827
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: girls get to hear Dad do the high five. We're

828
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,439
Speaker 1: gonna do the high five with you guys. We're gonna

829
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: start from the oldest to the youngest. So we'll start

830
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: with you over there in the corner and we'll bring

831
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: it on down. Okay, same question. I'm sure it'll be

832
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 1: some different answers. Question number one, how old you the

833
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: first time you use cannabis? And where did you get

834
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 1: it from? Me and my buddies stole a a fan

835
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: leaf from his mother when we were twelve years old

836
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: and thought we got high. Yes, wow, what a great

837
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: one off the family. But you thought you did. You

838
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: thought you were high as you just rolled that up

839
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: or just smoked it in the can? How did you do?

840
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, just coughed our way through it, remember,

841
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: probably still went exactly. Remember that they were old. They

842
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: were all hippie bikers and they used to grow and

843
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 1: they're outside at the time I were accounted with that

844
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:15,439
Speaker 1: is that wheat growing in your mom's that we didn't

845
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: know that it actually went to bud. We thought you

846
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 1: smoked the leaves. But I'm gonna try this right here,

847
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 1: what about you, David? Uh? First time? Uh god, it

848
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: was probably some terrible, dried out Mexican weed from one

849
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: of the guys off the local Indian reservation. I think

850
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: I think I was. I think it was probably about

851
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: fourteen fifteen. I had a buddy that lived down the

852
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,439
Speaker 1: street and we uh I think there was a little

853
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: local bar that all the uh you know guys hung

854
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 1: out with it. We weren't supposed to be around, and

855
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I think we probably found ourselves in trouble

856
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 1: that Mexican says Amelia. Oh, I was still around. I

857
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: think those big old bricks, he's just gonna break it

858
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 1: up and spread it out. Sometimes I'm like, man, I

859
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: just want one of those old little ship ball joints

860
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: because the diesel smell was the diesel feel on the

861
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 1: bottom of the boat when I got smuggled. Oh, you

862
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: never knew, right, yeah, you could never know what's gonna smell, like,

863
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: what about you? Well, I think I'm incriminating myself right

864
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: now right here. It just did too. Yeah, I don't know.

865
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: Did you guys know about that story about them the

866
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: first time? So he probably did know. Yeah, I mean,

867
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: I believe each other, but I would say I was

868
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: probably uh, man, I was probably thirteen years he did,

869
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: he did? He had one or two since he's sitting

870
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: next to d and h. Yeah, and I was running

871
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: around with some friends and dude, they had some large

872
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: fee trash. He has trim in their pocket. We smoked out,

873
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: uh the sawny water bottle with a tenmailmeter socket and

874
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: a rock in it in the desert. Yeah, yeah, in

875
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: the sticks. That's the way it's supposed to go down

876
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: and needs. Question number two of the high five, what

877
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: is your favorite way to use or smoke cannabis. Derek,

878
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: I would just say flower. I'm a flower guy. Yeah,

879
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: joint with it though, just like a bowl or either way,

880
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,919
Speaker 1: as long as it's a good flower. Yeah, so nice

881
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 1: like that. Nab, same, Yeah, I'd like to twist one up.

882
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 1: That's kind of part of the deal. You gotta sit

883
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: there and just a ritual chill out and have a

884
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: drink and break it up. Old school. I don't use

885
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: the cone. I got an old pack of zigzags and

886
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: you know, old style do it. Yeah, I can't do

887
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: this thing when you got to poke it down in

888
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: the cones. What's not all about it? I don't remember

889
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: z cannabis has this little grinder thing and you put

890
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,320
Speaker 1: the cone in there. I don't know if we have

891
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 1: any more here, but you drop it in and then

892
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 1: you nice that loads it up for you for you.

893
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: Pretty interesting go ahead. I could just twist them though, Nate.

894
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: I would say, I mean I dabbled in like a

895
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: couple of different ways, but um, you know I've done

896
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: you know I've dabbed, you know. Throughout college I always

897
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: went through a little phase where I was trying to

898
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: concentrates batters shatter all of it. But you know, I'm

899
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: straight up a pre roll guy. You know, I like

900
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: popping out a tube, binges, walking down the stair ymple,

901
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 1: you know. I mean it's already done for you. Yeah,

902
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: I can care less about the four ft you know,

903
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,399
Speaker 1: bong hits. You know, they're fun every once in a while,

904
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: but you know, it's always nice to you know, have

905
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: a little pret well, and it's hard to do that

906
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: your favorite should Yeah, I know, I already went through

907
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: that phase of college. Man, I'm burnt out on that. Like,

908
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: I know how to do this, I've seen it. I'm

909
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 1: doing it this weekend. Call me Frank the tank. Once

910
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,000

1005
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:54,680

1009
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:06,680

1010
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 1: It was an evil thing. So you know, maybe it

1011
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: would have been good if he could have relaxed later

1012
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:13,040
