Are you still doing the project 23 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: Swish right now? Yeah? So I actually have a company 24 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 1: called Seven Leaves I'm a part owner of in Sacramento. 25 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: We just finished our build out, so, uh, we're we're 26 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: firing under about a thousand lights right now, which makes 27 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: us one of the you know, larger growth in Cali. 28 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: And then I'm also outside of that launching my individual 29 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: brand called Swish, which would be a full line of 30 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: CBD products and t AC products. Nice. Now with with that, 31 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: I know you have four different pre roles that you're 32 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: coming out with. Waking, bake, the post workout. Um, I 33 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: believe it was a happy hour and uh, what was it? 34 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: Loaded dreams? So we changed that actually, So that was 35 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: kind of the initial low hanging fruit right when I 36 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: got on, because you know, maybe about a year and 37 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: a half two years ago. But then I kind of 38 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: stopped and back pedaled and and and kind of rethought 39 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: my approach and I'm gonna be coming in initially although 40 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: I'm you know, I love I love smoking, I love 41 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: what it does for me. I'm gonna come in on 42 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: the CBD side in this link because I am a 43 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: former athlete, I'm a father, I'm a coach, so I'm 44 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: gonna come more on the educational side. So I'll drop 45 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: all my CBD stuff first and then I'll shortly drop 46 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: my THHC stuff after. And the crazy thing is, I've 47 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: I've spoken with some clients who are choosing to do 48 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,679 Speaker 1: getting to the cb D M CBD first because it's 49 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: so much easier than no more building out that grow 50 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: is a nightmare. I've dealt with the Sacramento, We've dealt 51 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: with some of those licensing processes and the cb D. 52 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: I mean, you can just you can go to market basically, 53 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: just don't make any health claims. You're pretty good, right, 54 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 1: So so let me ask you go ahead, go ahead. No, 55 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: Just like I said, I just kind of, you know, 56 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: revised my my approach to it. You know, although I've 57 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: been smoking as I was fourteen, I'm gonna advocate. I've 58 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: been very outspoken on the plane itself. Just coming into 59 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 1: this space. Obviously, there's you know, a ton of brands 60 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, my brand has a story and 61 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: a vision and a goal behind did So, like I said, 62 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: I'm coming from more just the educational side, um, you know, 63 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: talking with the NBA about their regulations, working with U 64 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 1: c l A on some stuff. So I just like 65 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: I said, I came and on the as much as 66 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: I love is smoking. Matt tell you a little bit 67 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: about that story. Occasional side of it. Matt tell us 68 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: a little bit about the story. It's a vision that 69 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: you're saying. What is it that your company is behind. Um, well, 70 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: I just the benefications, you know. I feel like this 71 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: plant can help everyone from children to get to grandparents. 72 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 1: And there's always been a you know, a negative stigma 73 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: on it, um, you know, starting back in the you know, 74 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: late seventies eighties, and I think that you know, if 75 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: you were someone who smoked in the past, you were 76 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: labled as a thug, a loser to gateway drugs, or 77 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: just really lifting all the stigmas and myths. Um, like 78 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: I said, I've been smokes I was fourteen, and I 79 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: feel like I could talk in to them blue in 80 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: the face about what it does for me. But until 81 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: there's actually medical research backing up um, everything I know 82 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: it does for me. That you know, the movement hasn't 83 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: gone anywhere. So we're finally to a point now where 84 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: there's actually medical research that's backing up the claims that 85 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: you know, as as a cannabis lover I've been making 86 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: and I really feel like we're making some headway. Nice, 87 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: you know, I I want to talk about you know, 88 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: the n b A and cannabis and your thoughts on that, 89 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: right because, if I'm not mistaken, you're one of the 90 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: only guys that have smoked like before games and actually 91 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: talked about that. Am I correct for saying that? Probably 92 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: other other guys that have done it. Um. I've just 93 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: been vocal like since since I've retired. Um, you know, 94 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: knowing that, you know, I got caught a few times 95 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: while I was playing and became cool with the guys 96 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: that kind of ran the drug program at the NBA. 97 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: At the NBA, and they told me one at one point, 98 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: you know, there's about four hundred and thirty guys in 99 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: the league. They said, over two hundred guys at one point. 100 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: We're in there just because of cannabis alone. And that's 101 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: anywhere from NBA superstars to rookies and everyone in between. 102 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: So it's something that once I retired, I really wanted 103 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: to kind of be the shield for those guys, because 104 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: there's no reason why these guys should be getting suspended, UM, 105 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: losing endorsements or some guys even is in their careers 106 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: and other sports over this plant. Did you see that 107 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: change happening, you know in the n b A and 108 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: and let's get your views on that as well. Yeah, 109 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: I definitely feel like it's gonna make a change. Obviously 110 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: with this corona pandemic um. One of the first thing 111 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: Adam Silver says is they won't be testing for um 112 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: cannabis or I guess they said street drugs, but I 113 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: think they are. Our main focus was cannabis um, you know, 114 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: so I think that's a good first step. UM. When 115 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: I first came in the NBA in into in two 116 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,119 Speaker 1: thousand three, they used to give you one preseason test 117 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: and then you were good for the year. So it 118 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: wasn't so much that they're are you getting the echo? 119 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: Can you hear me? You're good? Okay. It wasn't so 120 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: much about promoting that you can do it. It just 121 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: wasn't being tested for. And then as you know, baseball 122 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: and football, you know, tightened up their regulations. They know 123 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: we didn't really have a problem with steroids so they 124 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: knew that we smoke cannabis. So that's been the four 125 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: random tests kind of started popping up, um, you know 126 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: in our league, and it's kind of been hell maneuvering 127 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: that cent. So I think we're definitely heading in a 128 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: progressive way. I really feel like t CBD will be 129 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: in the NBA probably by next season, and I'm hoping 130 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: within the next two years that you know, cannabis will 131 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: be allowed as well. What other athletes that you've played with, 132 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: were you surprised that came out and said way to 133 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: speak up for us dog, That's what I'm talking about, Like, 134 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: even though you're retired or what, whatich athlete was a shocker? 135 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: Do you? I wouldn't really say shocker because you kind 136 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: of know what's going on behind the scenes is just 137 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: not talked about. But I just got a lot of 138 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: support for actually speaking up on it now. Yeah, you 139 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: know Ricky Williams in the NFL, I kind of felt 140 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: like he was the forrest time when he tried to 141 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: come out and speak on and I feel like he 142 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: kind of got black ball from the NFL for doing it. Um, 143 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: But I you know, won a championship with two thousands 144 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 1: seventeen and came right out and executive produced b R 145 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: four twenty for Bleacher Report, which was a show for 146 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: the first time there was six NFL retired NFL players, 147 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: six retired NBA players on television smoking weed but explaining 148 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: why we do it. You know what I mean. I 149 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: think that's the differences everyone, Like I said, everyone has 150 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: a preconceving ocean of what it is or what it 151 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: does for you if you're not a smoker. But to 152 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: hear you know one percenters. You know, basically if you 153 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: make the NFL the NBA, you're a one percenter when 154 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: it comes to athletes explaining how important it was to 155 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: them in their lives and their regiments because you know 156 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: a lot of guys aren't peel takers, such as myself 157 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: and I'm a social drinker, so there was really no 158 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: other way to kind of cut the edge or or 159 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: do what is needed. Um that that that brings the 160 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: relief the cannabis brings. So, like I said, I really 161 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: tried to be the shield for this movement along with 162 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: myself out here. Intoner forward NBA player really just trying 163 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: to push the ball forward when it comes to you know, 164 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: the these leagues really understanding what they have going on. Yeah, 165 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: we call it the green closet, and we've been trying 166 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: to do the same thing and breaking the stigma across 167 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: all levels of professionals, attorneys, doctors, uh NBA athletes, all 168 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: athletes across the spectrum, nurses, I mean just regular people 169 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: who doctors, the whole nine. You know. We need to 170 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: break the stigma of when you smoke a joint that 171 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: you're not a loser or you're not lazy, and you're 172 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: not gonna forget everything. You're not gonna fall on the floor. Right. Well, 173 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons me and my brother came 174 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: out and did this on social media, showing that hey, 175 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: we we use, we consume. If you don't like it, 176 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: go to that attorney who has a three martini lunch 177 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: but cannabis, you know, and that's okay and some valium. 178 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: Hold on, your brother has a three martinis and a joint, 179 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: so I don't know only he only does that. That's 180 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: just as the red cup at night. But I I 181 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: use cannabis, as you know, and I'm an avid. I 182 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: work out every day and I use it to help 183 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: me before I work out and after I work out. 184 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: I know you've talked about that, Matt. How do you 185 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: utilize different types of cannabis with the recovery or th HC. Well, 186 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: but before a pre workout, I use it pre workout 187 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: and post workout. What how do you use it? You know, 188 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: I'm simpler um someone you know, single, pather three and 189 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: and in business and and still working out and everything. 190 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: But I'm someone that wakes up in smokes and I 191 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 1: wake in bake and then depending off I have my 192 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: kids or not. You know, I'm I've smoked Indican my 193 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: whole entire life, and now it's kind of more hybrids, 194 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: and then during the day it's more sativa dominant because 195 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: I do like to smoke. But like I said, I'm 196 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: a single dad of three, so I'm coaching, I'm chasing 197 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 1: my at month throws around, I'm changing shitty diapers, um 198 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: closing deals. I have a podcast. I work for ESPN, 199 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: so I'm doing so many different things. So you know, 200 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: obviously the weed, as as it is right now is 201 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: is powerful. So I saved the indica for the for 202 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: the end of the day. But you know, I'll do 203 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: a hybrid sativa dominant uh, pretty much throughout the day. 204 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: Just to keep me going. Like I said, whether it 205 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: be workout, the first thing I do is work out 206 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: or post workout. To me, there's nothing like getting a 207 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: great morning workout and then smoking or joint after agree. 208 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: You know, what are your thoughts with the networks? I mean, 209 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: you know ESPN and things like that. Are they are 210 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: they Disney? You know when you think about those things, 211 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: you know that they can be you know, crucial to 212 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: the career is long. I mean obviously if for me 213 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: they know though they know Mas been smoking, know, but 214 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: if he's not, as long as he's not on the 215 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: property or whatever. You know what, But how is that? 216 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: That's a good question, you know what I mean because 217 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: you say when you say, uh, you know ESPN and 218 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 1: it's it's a Disney, It's it's a home of Disney. 219 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 1: So you know, I really thought about that too coming 220 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: into the situation because I was doing some co work 221 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: for Fox and ESPN, but I was also someone that 222 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: was on Instagram smoking promoting it, you know, educating people 223 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: on it. So um. But luckily I've had no kickback, 224 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm I'm an employee of ESPN, and 225 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 1: I've had zero kickback. I actually you know, called Stephen A. 226 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: Smith out on it um early last year about he 227 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: was always saying stay off the weed, and I, you know, 228 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: I took the Instagram saying, you know, you got to 229 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: educate yourself because you have such a huge platform that 230 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: if you knew what you were talking about, you wouldn't 231 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: be saying what you're saying, you know what I mean. 232 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,239 Speaker 1: And we had a full breakdown conversation on my podcast, 233 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: All the Smoke. But then also I was on his show, 234 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 1: you know, First Taker is one of the one of 235 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: the biggest sports shows you know in the world, um 236 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: primetime ESPN, and you know, a ten minute conversation about 237 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: cannabis um on ESPN. So, like I said, I think 238 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: it's slowly but surely starting to to really resonate with 239 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: people and having them understand considering that you know, everything 240 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: you needed at the palm in your hand if you 241 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: want to look up you know, the benefits or or 242 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: or anything pertaining to the plant is right, it's your phone. 243 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: And now for anyone to say anything that's ignorant or 244 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,959 Speaker 1: or crazy is blasphemy from from a standpoint of like, 245 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: and they're still saying that. I mean, it's just ridiculously 246 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: propagandis still out there. It's people who haven't tried it, 247 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: or like I said, are stuff stigmas of it or 248 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: ignorant about how hard of a conversation was it with 249 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: Stephen Ashwit and was that your hardest conversation to basically 250 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: we lay out the education of it. It actually wasn't 251 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: hard because I mean he was really recepted, although you 252 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: know he's very strong and bold behind the statements and 253 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: as his opinion. We had a full out conversation. Were 254 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: the first one to admit, you know, I really don't 255 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: know too much about to play itself, you know, to 256 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: being like I've had family, men who everyone store I've 257 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 1: had family always it did it blah blah blah blah. 258 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: But when we actually got down to talking about it, 259 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: wild wives some of the players used to what it 260 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 1: does for us? Um, you know, his only thing was, 261 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: you know, don't let him mess your money up.

Where Where where do 312 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: bills go to the Senate to die? That's where people 313 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: don't understand how powerful Miss wilcon is the most powerful 314 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: person in the the United States. If people need to understand that. 315 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: And and that's when we say, you know, because I'm 316 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: big on this voting stuff right now, that's the only 317 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: way things are going to change. But it's on the 318 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: local and state level where a lot of things do happen, 319 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: you know. So that's one of the pitches we're on 320 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: right now. Obviously, with the state of the country right now, 321 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: we're kind of and shambles. But I feel like we're 322 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: heading in a new direction. But you know, it is 323 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: important to get I think new fresh blood in there. 324 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: You know, McConnell has been a monster for you know, 325 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: for however long he's he's been in his position. So 326 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: that's going number one is to be able to get 327 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: him out of out of his position, because that's when 328 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: things will really start to change. And ahead. I was 329 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: hearing you and Stephen talk about that as we're talking 330 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: about voting, and you know, not that you Mr Joe 331 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: Biden by no means, but you're like, bottom line, we 332 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: gotta get Trump out, vote for Joe in So I 333 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: see you taking this great political stance, and you're right, 334 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: it's on the local level as well. People need to 335 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: educate themselves, like with Mark and Craig or shame from 336 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: who's your governor, who's your mayor? All these fun factors, 337 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: attorney exactly what. But my my question regarding all this is, 338 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: do you see it, Matt Barnes being federally legal anytime, 339 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: let alone soon? I think so. I think so. I 340 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: think it might be something that you know, before all 341 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: this tragedy started happening in drama, I thought it might 342 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: be something that Trump would do just to kind of 343 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: safe face with some people. Um, but there's obviously much 344 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: more important things on the table right now. But I 345 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: definitely do see it being federal federally legal and just 346 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: realizing I mean, what it can do once they figure 347 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: out the tax because that's still feel the taxes outrageous, 348 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: But I mean once they kind of figure out the 349 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: tax I really feel like this. You know, legalizing this 350 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: across the country is gonna bring every state out of 351 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: debt and it's really gonna squake. But what they need 352 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: to do is not over taxed that you just treated 353 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: like any other cross. I'm saying, treat it like the taxes. 354 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: The taxes was keeping the black market life. Obviously, you 355 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: guys know this. The tax is ridiculous, you know here 356 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 1: in California. Any I mean, what would your startup costs 357 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: for the grow Oh, I don't want to ask. I 358 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: mean millions. I'm assuming it was. And those boxes that 359 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 1: we got from you appreciated the We're deep in it. 360 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: But like I said, I think the taxes what they 361 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: have to kind of understand. But we also have to 362 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: understand that there's people who have no idea about this 363 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 1: plant that are trying to make legs about as they 364 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 1: came to a someone. I'm someone who you know eventually 365 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 1: wants to run for mayor of my hometown Sacramento. Um, 366 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: So I've been doing a lot of groundwork in Sacramento 367 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: and working with politicians on bills and police reform and 368 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. So I'm starting to get, 369 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: you know, a little bit of the grasp on the 370 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: on the politics side. But you know, you just have 371 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: a bunch of people who don't get it trying to 372 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 1: make rules about it. So, you know, slowly but surely, uh, 373 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: we're doing things and making ways and they're starting to listen. 374 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: So hopefully something will come with that. And that's where 375 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 1: real change comes though from when people in the community 376 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,239 Speaker 1: who grew up in there, especially minority base, when we 377 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: go back and do something huge like that, Matt, I 378 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 1: command you. I hope you do that, ship man. That's 379 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: gonna be dope. If we say that a lot to 380 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,479 Speaker 1: people who have what can I do? What can we do? 381 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: You know, and we say go vote, go vote, but 382 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: you really want to do something, go do it, get involved, 383 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 1: become an elected official, and make that change. Well there, 384 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: there's there's so many people running at all the different levels, 385 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: from the city level all the way up to the 386 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: federal level who support legalization of cannabis. I read an 387 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: article recently where this it was an oddsmaker eight nine 388 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: months ago, had it three hundred to one that it 389 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: would go federal in the next year or two. Now 390 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: with the changing landscape, with the change this this is 391 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: actually pretty cool with the changing landscape. And if we 392 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: can flip Democrats can flip five six seats it's not 393 00:18:53,359 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: that many, and flip the presidency. I mean, it could 394 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: be one twenty two that it's done, because I know, 395 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: I know Sanders has to hear or Biden has to 396 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: hear Sanders, and Sanders is in Biden's head that you 397 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: better get off this ship about cannabis and legalize it. 398 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 1: And I've read that other places where Sanders is really 399 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 1: leaning hard on him to do something when he becomes 400 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 1: when has been strong yet with it, though he's flip 401 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 1: flopped already from the get go, which I like, you 402 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: want to come over, but yet he's not had a 403 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: strong flip flop. If we flip, if both houses are Democrat, 404 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: he's not gonna veto a bill. He's I can't see 405 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 1: him ever doing that. So as opposed to he might 406 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,199 Speaker 1: not with with a stroke of his pen, do something 407 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: like he should, like Trump said he was gonna do, 408 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 1: and he lied to the American public shock about doing it, 409 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 1: letting it up to the leading up to the States. 410 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: He wanted all those stoners to vote for him at 411 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 1: first time around because he might let it you know, 412 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 1: one issue people, and he didn't do it, and he's 413 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: not gonna do it if he does it to try 414 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: to win the election. I hope he does do it, 415 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: but I don't think it's gonna bail them out. I 416 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: think that I think the cannabis and the civil rights 417 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: are so closely intertwined on the war on drugs, the 418 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 1: war on on on communities of color, that I mean, 419 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: they really go hand in hand. What do you think? 420 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: I absolutely agree. I mean, if you think about it, 421 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: you know, I mean who put all the drugs in 422 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 1: our neighborhoods? Yes, and Slinger when we go back to 423 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: the thirties and and Slinger and all that stuff bring 424 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: and and yeah. No, So it's it's interesting, Like I said, 425 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: this is a very important part of of of history. 426 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: I feel like right now, I feel like, you know, 427 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: the movements and stuff we do now is obviously gonna 428 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: benefit our children and our grandchildren and beyond. But it 429 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 1: starts now, you know. So we're working on some I'm 430 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: working with a group of my close friends on creating 431 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 1: content for people to understand voting and politics a little better, 432 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: small bite sized pieces, fun ways to learn it, bull 433 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,719 Speaker 1: facts and statements, and then, like you guys said earlier, 434 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: just realizing how important voting is on your local and 435 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 1: state level for a lot of the bills you're created 436 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: and past, and we're trying to get people passion I 437 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: think obviously, taking a huge bit of politics all at 438 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: once it's tough, you know, So we're getting people to 439 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: get passionate about particular bills, Like if you don't you 440 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: feel like your voice isn't heard in California on the 441 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: presidential vote. I'm not gonna argue with that. But find 442 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: some stuff you're passionate about in your communities that you 443 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: can vote on the benefit your communities. That it's gonna 444 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 1: get you registered, and then obviously from there you kind 445 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: of want to start learning more about the process. Do 446 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: you think the wave of activism since Floyd is gonna 447 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: help really get out the vote? If everybody out there 448 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: is passionate enough to protest, it's a matter. I'm sure 449 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 1: hoping that maybe better. I hate to say silver linings, 450 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: but if if shit happens two years ago, people's attention spans. 451 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,880 Speaker 1: I'm a political science major. People pull attention spans are horrible. 452 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: What do you say are horrible? And uh, I mean, 453 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: I'm hoping this carries in in November the way the 454 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: masses of people, and we've got to prevail and get 455 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: this this. Uh, get the guy who's up there now. 456 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: I didn't want to say he's the P word, because 457 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: I think he's the other P word, But I think, actually, 458 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: I think you're I think you're right. Like if this 459 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,959 Speaker 1: doesn't bring anyone out, or if this doesn't get people out, 460 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 1: I don't think anything will. So like I said, I 461 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: think obviously, you know, with the voter suppression you saw 462 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: out there and in Kentucky recently, where you know, Jefferson 463 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: County has six hundred thousand residents and they have one 464 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 1: polling station. Though, because Trump and McCall don't know if 465 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 1: they let the people speak, what's really gonna they count 466 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: on first, and first of all, they counting us not voting, 467 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: and then they try to suppress us. So you know, 468 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: we got something like Lebron and working on uh, you 469 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: know myself, my team is trying to educate people on 470 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: the process and bite sized pieces. So I think now 471 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: more than ever, like you mentioned, the activism is is 472 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: at an all time high. And I think it's it's 473 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: really on athletes and celebrities to kind of use their 474 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,239 Speaker 1: platform to motivate and educate other people, because, you know, 475 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: regardless of what people say, you know, our voices travel, 476 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 1: you know, man, as long as we're putting out a 477 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: positive message and trying to educate people on this. Someone 478 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: told me real quick that if we get the same turnout, 479 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: just turn out to to voting that we had for Obama, 480 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: that trouble get blown out the water blown out the water. 481 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: Last last two thousand sixteen, they said a hundred two 482 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: million eligible people who could have voted didn't vote because 483 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,360 Speaker 1: I just didn't feel like there was anyone that represented them. So, 484 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: like I said earlier, Biden may not be the man, 485 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 1: but right at this point, it's anyone but Trump. And 486 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: for you, why do you think, Matt, speaking of celebrities 487 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,719 Speaker 1: and athletes, why do you think it took them so 488 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 1: long to kind of speak out, Because they're starting to now. 489 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: But it's and it's still kind of a it's it's 490 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: a scary it's a scary position, right because you have again, 491 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: you have sponsors, you have all these things on the line. 492 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: So but why do you think that they haven't just 493 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: come out and said, you know, everything on their mind. Um, 494 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: you know, what's your professional on that? Because of because 495 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 1: of what you said, you know, censorship, teams, sponsors, you know, endorsements, 496 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: whatever the situation. Maybe it's kind of scared people away, 497 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: But I think we're to the point now where you know, 498 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 1: if you can't if you if you can't freely speak 499 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: your mind, you shouldn't be be with those partners, you 500 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 1: know what I mean. If you can't truly feel say 501 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 1: how you feel, especially when it comes to situations like this, 502 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,640 Speaker 1: these are partners you shouldn't be with. So, like I said, 503 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 1: it takes people like Lebron James and Steph Curry and 504 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: guys like that who are superstars. That kind of opened 505 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 1: up the door for everyone else to speak because obviously 506 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 1: the superstars are great, but there's only a handful of superstars, 507 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So you need the majority, 508 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: which you're you know, guys like myself, to be able 509 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: to have that platform. And I think people like Lebron, uh, 510 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: like I said, who's always kind of been at the 511 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: forefront of speaking on social justice and social issues as 512 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: a whole. We need more of that from stars because, 513 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 1: like I said, it opened the door for the rest 514 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: of us. He's done so much for his community back 515 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 1: home and abroad. I've always been a fan of what 516 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 1: Lebron has done off the court. Amazing you. But we're 517 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 1: talking right here with Matt Barnes and Matt your thoughts 518 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: on the league about to come back and cats you know, 519 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,199 Speaker 1: about to wear something on the back of their jersey 520 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 1: just support it, and I'm just wondering your whole feeling 521 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,360 Speaker 1: behind that, and what would you wear on the back 522 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: of your jersey if you were to go out and play, 523 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: what would you represent leaf? You know what I mean? 524 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 1: Would you put shack down the Bay Area and back down? 525 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: That's funny real quick. So I played traveling softball with 526 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: my son, my homies because I played baseball growing up. 527 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: Because we played traveling softball, and that's when I travel 528 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: around because people recognize me playing softball. Just have a 529 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: big gass marijuana leaf on the back of my jersey 530 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: with no name, but anyway, love it back to uh, 531 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 1: you know what I Obviously, I think the the idea 532 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: of putting names on the back of you know, slogans 533 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: or whatever it may be, is a good idea, but 534 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: to me, it's not enough. I hope they're going to 535 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 1: do more than just put slogans and names on the 536 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: back of their jersey, because that is definitely not enough. 537 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: I've been fortunate enough to you know, the president of 538 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: the Player Association is a good friend of mine, Chris 539 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: Paul and former teammate. You know, we've been discuss seen 540 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: things in the past few weeks about what they want 541 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: to do. Um. I think obviously, as long as COVID 542 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: is not an issue, and I think the way they're 543 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: kind of regulating things, they're gonna be able to make 544 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: COVID not an issue there. I think there needs to 545 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 1: be some change made and request made by the players 546 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 1: for the owners. You know, these owners are very few 547 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: of them came out and said anything, UM, but they exactly. 548 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,120 Speaker 1: You know, with the NBA being sevent African American, these 549 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: guys sit back and make a shipload of money off us. Granted, 550 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 1: they pay us well, but you gotta think that they're 551 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: paying us that well how much money they really make. 552 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: So I think it's it's important for these players to 553 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: go out there and make our demands. I really feel 554 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 1: like the black voices are stronger it's ever been, and 555 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: particularly the black athlete voices are stronger it has ever been. 556 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 1: So I think the players need to go out there 557 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: make some demands to these owners to really start giving 558 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: back to these communities, not just pr fluff bullshit, but 559 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 1: really genuinely giving back, caring, and then also getting some diversity, 560 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 1: some diversity and management, you know what I mean. For 561 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: there will only be a handful of black coaches and 562 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: a handful of g ms I guess in the league 563 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: that's African American. There's a problem with that, you know. 564 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: So I think as long as they come back and 565 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: really try to make some changes. Obviously the fan and 566 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,160 Speaker 1: me wants to see sports as long as it's being 567 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: you know, these guys aren't putting themselves at risk from 568 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: the pandemic. But at the same time, we have to 569 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 1: understand how powerful our voice is right now. It'll probably 570 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: never be powerful as powerful it is right now, so 571 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: we need to make some demands to get some ship 572 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: changed up there. It's funny that you say all that, 573 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 1: because you know, I agree, it's almost like what else 574 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: are you guys gonna do? I mean taking a knee? 575 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: You know, I look back when Kaepernick was doing it 576 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 1: and people were kind of like, you know, even people 577 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: that were on ESPN and major x NFL players that 578 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: were African American And I'm sitting there watching do you 579 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 1: not understand what this? Dude? Well, it's not a time 580 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: for politics. It's a time to play sports. And it's like, 581 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: no funk that now is a time to be political 582 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: because enough enough. And you're right about African American players 583 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: in the NBA, Like, dude, we're making everybody all this money. 584 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: So my thought and theory recently is what if the 585 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: players come together once the contracts are genitis and started 586 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 1: joining a cat like ice Cube and joined cubes League 587 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: where he was the first and it's a professional league 588 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: to have CBD in the league, and it's like you 589 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: look at a cat like ice Cube who's put some 590 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 1: money together to start paintings and players. I want to 591 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: know your thoughts on ice Cube's basketball league and want 592 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: to think about I think what Cub's done has been great, Uh, 593 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,439 Speaker 1: something that I think no one thought was possible. You know, 594 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: he made possible, and it's continuing to grow. Um. He's 595 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: been very outspoken and progressive. Obviously he being the first 596 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 1: professional league allowing CBD to be a part of their 597 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,479 Speaker 1: their regiment, but then also being so outspoken on social 598 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: justice and and racially racially quality issues since he started, 599 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: you know it, since he known Ice QUB you know, 600 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: back in the eighties and nineties with his raptor in 601 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,479 Speaker 1: w A. So he's been a great leader, um and 602 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: he has a lot of good things going on. Obviously, 603 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: you know, I don't think everyone's gonna get across. The 604 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,239 Speaker 1: Big Three is not what the NBA is. It's just 605 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of a not a minor league, 606 00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: but a smaller league where guys you know, go to 607 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: once they're done playing or we're trying the kids in 608 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: the NBA off. The NBA is the cream of the crop. Um. 609 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: So I just think players have to take advantage of 610 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: our platform right now, our voices right now, in the 611 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: opportunity at the time is of the essence. Know and 612 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: absolutely sixty eight months, who knows what you know, we're 613 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: gonna be on as a coach because everything is, you know, 614 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: it's it's always what's next. In this culture. He doesn't 615 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: this it was a twenty far news cycle. So I 616 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: think you really have to seize the moment and really 617 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: pass for some real change right now. Well with Matt 618 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: Lawrence uh NBA World Champion, also Cannada's Advocate, will be 619 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: right back after this break.

Hold on, I'm 629 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: gonna interrupt you for minute, Dyke Dress. I know it's 630 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: all about cannabis, and this actually still has a punching 631 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: about cannabis, But you've been smoking like us since your 632 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: fourteen every day, all day, um during your NBA career. 633 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: I noticed in doing some of the research back in 634 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: oh two or three when you came into the first 635 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: of the A B A. He played with Dennis Rodner. Now, 636 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: was he just just crazy back then? As he was 637 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: later in I thought, I thought the water down Dennis 638 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: because he was he was trying to make a return 639 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: to the NBA and I only got a chance to unfortunately, 640 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: got a chance to play with them for maybe a 641 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 1: couple of weeks because right when he got there, I 642 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: got called up and then not you know, I started 643 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: my fourteen year journey in the NBA. But it was amazing, 644 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: you know, growing up being able to watch that that 645 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: that Michael Jordan ducked with the bull. It was amazing 646 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: because Jordan was the one guy that never got to 647 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: really see behind the scenes and see the person. But 648 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: I've always been a fan of Robin and his antics 649 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 1: outside of you know, wearing makeup and dresses. Let me ask, 650 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: let me ask. It is because I'm I'm I'm a 651 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: bit of a fanboy as far as watching NBA since 652 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: Magic and Bird got into the league and uh, your tenacity. 653 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: You were one of those guys, especially being a lifelong 654 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: Laker fan, you know, before you were on the did 655 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 1: your Lakers stante if you're a player, we love to 656 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: hate that. You made it, man, you made it. You 657 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: were tenacious at everything you did. And when you actually 658 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: came on the Lakers, I was like, oh my god, 659 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: our our best new player. Man, we were behind. Let's 660 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: get the tenacity over here now. Um. But the crazy 661 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: thing is you're smoking all day before after you play. 662 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: I can't imagine how tenatious or if if it would 663 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: have been over the top if you weren't medicating during 664 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: more uh you know some more around our test episodes. 665 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: If I didn't smoke, people don't understand man to be 666 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: a professional athlete, you know, once you get here, everyone 667 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: can do everything. So it's like mental So be able 668 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: in cannabis was something that allowed me to focus. You know, 669 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 1: I went through a crazy divorce. For after I divorced 670 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: my ex, my teammates started dating there and I had 671 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: to put pause on m horrible everything. I'm gonna stay 672 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: away from that. But I say all that to say, like, 673 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: you have to understand I'm on TMZ, I'm on E, 674 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: I'm I'm on ESPN. Ah. Well, I'm trying to stay 675 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,239 Speaker 1: focused and play basketball, and everyone has an opinion on 676 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 1: who I am in my life and my thug and 677 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: my best that I do the right thing that I not. 678 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: So I have to be able to block all that 679 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: ship out because none of that matters when the ball 680 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: is thrown up in the air. Like, my job is 681 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: to go out there and perform at the highest level. 682 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: So cannabis has kind of always been my escape. It's 683 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: been my if you want to call it a crutch. Um. 684 00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: It's allowed me to focus, It's allowed me to take 685 00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: a way pain, it's allowed me to sleep, It's allowed 686 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: it's just allowed me to really I feel like, be 687 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,960 Speaker 1: the best me um when when when I use it, 688 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 1: you know, so for it to be such a negative 689 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: stereotype on it and people being punished um for it, 690 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: Like I said, post career, that's what I've really been 691 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 1: trying to attack is bringing more awareness to it, bringing 692 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: more education to it, and just opening eyes because I 693 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 1: think that's what it needs. You know, if people knew, 694 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 1: you know, I guarantee some of the like I said, 695 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 1: I know, some of the best players in the world smoke. 696 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: If the player, if the fans knew, it would probably 697 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: change the perspective of because these guys are still out 698 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 1: there winning NBA championships, leading the league and scoring, do 699 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: all kinds of cards and they and they medicate.

But then I was in Sacramento, you 709 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 1: know what I I mean. And I had actually had a 710 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: cousin that worked up in Humble. So once I kind 711 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,800 Speaker 1: of committed to the plant.

If you 764 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 1: could smoke with anyone dead are alive, who would it be? 765 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:11,320 Speaker 1: My alive would be Obama? My dad would be Tupac? Yeah? 766 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:15,879 Speaker 1: Why Jupac um? Just he is my favorite human um 767 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 1: ever invented. I just felt like, you know, he was 768 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,720 Speaker 1: such an amazing person and had, you know, had words 769 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,240 Speaker 1: and a song for every human emotion, possibly from wanting 770 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 1: to go kill someone to loving your mom and in between. 771 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 1: And I think he was kind of a revolutionarist. Revolutionary 772 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 1: ist is that the word? You know? He had a 773 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 1: coke following, And I really think that we'd be in 774 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,880 Speaker 1: a different world right now if Tupac was still alive, 775 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 1: So he would be definitely be the number one person 776 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,239 Speaker 1: if I could smoke on anyone, who it would be him? 777 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 1: And Matt, you mentioned smoking downstairs at the Staples Center, 778 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 1: and that got me think, you're join, did you ever 779 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,920 Speaker 1: smoke around Kobe or what was Kobe starts on it. Um. 780 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,280 Speaker 1: I always it was funny. I just did Cyper Sales 781 00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,480 Speaker 1: podcast last week and they asked me the same thing. 782 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,080 Speaker 1: And I always want to call the smoke. And I 783 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 1: don't know if he ever did. I saw some pictures 784 00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:03,799 Speaker 1: with him and snooper As. Eyes look kind of red. 785 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but he said if we had won 786 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 1: a championship together, he would smoke. Um. You know. Unfortunately 787 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 1: we uh, we didn't get a chance to do that. 788 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,759 Speaker 1: But I never got a chance to smoke with code. 789 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,239 Speaker 1: How how difficult was that? I got a question, go ahead, 790 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 1: I got a question for you guys, because I sometimes 791 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,840 Speaker 1: part take and um smoking while I'm driving?

It's a ticket which which will lead 797 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 1: to worse. But when you get pulled over like that 798 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 1: in California, smell alone is not probable cause to search. 799 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 1: And as we and teach all over, you only say 800 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,839 Speaker 1: the twenty five words to the cops and then I 801 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 1: know you know what to do when they ask questions. 802 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,919 Speaker 1: Matt right, no, I mean school me. All right, let's 803 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,480 Speaker 1: do it.

Why did you pull me over? And then 806 00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,360 Speaker 1: when the cop gets belligerent and tough and ask you 807 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 1: questions and in your face, sir, I'm not discussing my day, 808 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 1: and you're staying polite, and he's just prowdbeating you and says, 809 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,440 Speaker 1: I watch that smell. I'm taking you to jail. What 810 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,319 Speaker 1: do you say, am I being detained? Am I free 811 00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 1: to go? And if detained, what do you say, sir? 812 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: I invoked the fifth? And then everybody, what do you do? 813 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 1: Shut the funk up? And and never consent to a 814 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 1: certain and always film the police. You know, all all 815 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 1: of the above, But it's really never consenting because they 816 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,000 Speaker 1: can trick you or try to trick you into saying 817 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,319 Speaker 1: that you know they're gonna bring the dogs, and they 818 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,399 Speaker 1: can they can do it anyways, And yeah, you never 819 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,440 Speaker 1: want to. That's why the you don't want to lie 820 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:54,960 Speaker 1: to the police, whether you had a drink, where you 821 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,759 Speaker 1: had a joint, whether you just not discussing, if they 822 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,840 Speaker 1: didn't see you smoke, king you're good. You know, by 823 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 1: the time they come up, it's probably aired out. They're 824 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 1: gonna smell it. But if they didn't see you smoking, 825 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,360 Speaker 1: then you can't get a ticket for it. If you 826 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,680 Speaker 1: say I smoked an hour ago, people thought, okay, I'll 827 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 1: just say I spoke before I left the house. Do 828 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,799 Speaker 1: you I charge even though we ten times, at nine 829 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 1: times out of ten, we're gonna beat that charge. But 830 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,759 Speaker 1: you're still gonna go through a process. So if you 831 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:24,560 Speaker 1: just stick to these say nothing, don't ever consent because 832 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,480 Speaker 1: if you consent because you think, oh they're right, they're 833 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 1: gonna get the dogs. Blah blah blah. I have nothing 834 00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,759 Speaker 1: on me. You dropped a joint in your car last week, 835 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,920 Speaker 1: and you know something that you don't know about. Um, 836 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,799 Speaker 1: so you just it'll screw you and it'll screw us 837 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,280 Speaker 1: to try to help you if and if you consent. 838 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,320 Speaker 1: But but you'd never want to lie. And you gotta 839 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 1: memorize the script because it's tough when that guy standing 840 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 1: there and he looks about eight feet tall and he's 841 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 1: got his got his vest on and his bullet and 842 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:57,760 Speaker 1: your I mean, I saw a YouTube video where where 843 00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:59,400 Speaker 1: I was. I don't know if Mark you're able to 844 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,400 Speaker 1: download and reposted, but but a couple of kids. I 845 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 1: forget what state it was in. But the cop was 846 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 1: being just just typical and what the cops said to him, 847 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:08,839 Speaker 1: and we need to address this on our own. Ship 848 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,960 Speaker 1: is is when the guy said, why are why am 849 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:16,319 Speaker 1: I being pulled over? What's going on? Oh? You're gonna 850 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,719 Speaker 1: play that game with me? And the guy says, what 851 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,560 Speaker 1: those are my rights? It's not a game. They try 852 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 1: to turn it into a game because we're not supposed 853 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 1: to have rights, right. So anyways, that's what you do. 854 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,399 Speaker 1: You never say, Ship. If anything, you just remember, shut 855 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,080 Speaker 1: the funk up.
