So it's just amazing how you're 45 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: just a quad facta of the you know, business space, 46 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 1: let alone cannabis because I say the quad with the 47 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: skateboard in there, there's nothing like growing up smoking someweed 48 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: and growing on the skateboards. Are you probably skateboarding before 49 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: you even smoked weed, as most kids probably did. But 50 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: I want to go back to early Craig days. Uh did? 51 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: First off, did you grow up in the Humblet County area? Now? 52 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: I grew up just a little bit north of Atlanta. 53 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: And then right when I turned eighteen, I came out 54 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 1: to California because of skateboarding, and then uh so I 55 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: came to San Francisco and then quickly learned about Humboldt 56 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: and I was like, well skateboarding and we signed there 57 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: and so match made in half exactly. So you got 58 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: go to Humble. What's the first company that you opened up? 59 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: As you have a grow, you have a dispensary, you 60 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: have a distribution, walk us through that. Yeah, the first 61 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: company was a Statory Movement, which is still around, but 62 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: that was our skateboard wheel brand that we started. But 63 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: we also started making hemp clothing when we started that 64 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: company in So I started making hemp clothing at that time, 65 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: late late and uh just brought that from the East coast, 66 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: actually started in Athens, Georgia, and brought that up to 67 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: Humble where we were able to tap into the you know, 68 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: it was mostly indoor home residential grows back then, but 69 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: also there was really good opportunity with economic development being 70 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: such a small area, so I was able to get 71 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: a loan. I was like twenty one years old at 72 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: the time, so I was able to get a loan 73 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: through the economic development and growing a little too to 74 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: four lighter and stepping that up over those years. But um, 75 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: it all started kind of with the skateboarding and the 76 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: hemp clothing. Craig, did you pay the loan back? I did, 77 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: just checking for another loan with the same agency last week. 78 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: So you were you were a young kid when you 79 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: were getting into all these business ventures. I can only 80 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: imagine that there was a lot of legal procedures and 81 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: legal matters that you needed to tackle. How did you 82 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: handle that with getting attorneys? How many attorneys did you 83 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: go through? Well, honestly, I went and bought a no 84 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: Low book on forming as I mean, actually did that 85 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: that first company. Actually I actually had the time and 86 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: I was young and read and uh form that corporation 87 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: had run through a few attorneys, but pretty much devid 88 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: it all on my own back then. I have a 89 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: lot more attorneys now these days, I bet, I bet 90 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: you do. Well? You have you now? Were you ever 91 00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: concerned with the criminal side or the crimes federally that 92 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: you were actually were committing committing? It's true, I mean 93 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: there's you know, the Feds are out there, the Feds 94 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: just what are they? Just? Uh the lawsuit right with 95 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: California and yeah, the d o J served the BCC 96 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: with subpoenas for information on licensed entities including manifests and 97 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: all kinds of good stuff. How do you feel about that? 98 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: How did you feel about it in the beginning, knowing 99 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: that you were going into that realm. Well, I knew 100 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: it was part of the part of the play. You know, 101 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: you gotta take the chances. You gotta be smart, you 102 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: gotta have a couple of different burner phones. You're real 103 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: careful about how you operate, allegedly, you know still when 104 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 1: I drive on looking every which way every time, setting 105 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: cruise control, just being really cautious about how you operate. Um, 106 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: but you don't really get too far if you don't 107 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: push the envelopes. So you had to push those envelopes, 108 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: and uh lucky. I only went to jail a few 109 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: times for really short periods. That's what I was. We 110 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 1: would get caught. You get caught slipping every once in 111 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: a while. I mean, back in the day before regulations, 112 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: we would tell people when they came in and wanted 113 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: to start a cannabis business. You know, they thought it 114 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: was all easy, and we actually had a as. I 115 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,559 Speaker 1: had a mom from Coda to Kaza come in one time. 116 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 1: She wanted to start delivery service, and she thought it 117 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: was gonna be super simple, and I said, I'll tell 118 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: you what stand ups. Turn around, put your hands behind 119 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: your back, and we put cuffs on you. Because that's 120 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: what it is now. It's a crime first defended later, 121 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: back before regulations, and she promptly and she promptly ran 122 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 1: out of the office. So yeah, back then we was 123 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: yet one foot in the felony door before regulations hit. Um, 124 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: now you gotta sleep a little easier, cost a little more, 125 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: more attorneys on staff, but in the regulatory process at 126 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: least you're most likely not gonna get hit by the Feds. 127 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: Although there's still there, there's still no protection. There's still 128 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 1: no protection right now. The only protection is for medical 129 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: and they're trying to extend that to adult use, which 130 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: the House of Representatives have passed UH an amendment to 131 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: extend that protection to all state sanctioned cannabas businesses. But 132 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:07,119 Speaker 1: like you did last year, it's gonna probably slieve until 133 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: the the Senate would have done it already. The Senate 134 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: is not going to do it in a million years 135 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: until this November. If it flips Democrat, I think we're 136 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: gonna see the doors open up and the Feds take 137 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: action because the Democrats have already done that at the 138 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: House level. Now the Senate has to get involved, and 139 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: if they both agree, it doesn't matter what Biden fucking thinks, 140 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. What was it like that first time 141 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: you were arrested? You mentioned you did some jail, got 142 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: caught a couple of times. To tell us about the 143 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: first the first incident of how'd your charity dealing with 144 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: the cops? You used, that's a good story. Actually, so 145 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: is October sometimes right around a friend's birthday. And so 146 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: I only knew Arcade to city the city and Humble 147 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: to San Francisco is living in San Francisco at the time. Um, 148 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: so I had a connection up in Humble. You know, 149 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: I was barely twenty. I don't even know if I 150 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: was twenty, but anyway, I would get a friend that 151 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: was twenty five to rent me a car for a day, 152 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: for a twenty four hour period and our jet up 153 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: to Humble, grab two pounds, jet back, do my thing, 154 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: break it up, and and you know, get something to 155 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: smoke out of it and make a little money. So 156 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: one day I was I had a friend from out 157 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: of state who had Georgia place. He's like, yeah, I'll 158 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: take you up there. So we went.

I was sleep in the 162 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: back seat. My friends are smoking weed while driving, and 163 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: it's like, oh man, that's not good. Anyway, we got 164 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: pulled over and like just south of Yukaia and Mendocino County, 165 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 1: which I had no idea what was what. I was 166 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: just on the one on one. If we get pulled 167 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: over for going six miles over the speed limit, pulled 168 00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: over those dreads the boom as soon as they pulled 169 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: us or it was like I smell it in the car, 170 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: and so you know, I took responsibility for that, and uh, 171 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: they brought me into Yukaya. It was I think of Friday. 172 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: I think I had like three dollars to my name 173 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: at that time. So I was locked up. They let 174 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: me out after the three day or whatever um and 175 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: gave me a a court tape and so I didn't 176 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: have a medical card at the moment, so I went 177 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: right back to the Bay Area. Gotten a point with 178 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: Todd with Dr Todd nick Arria, who was kind of 179 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: one of the legendary first kind of doctors that was 180 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: issuing scripts that you know, California Medical Board tried to 181 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: take his license and everything. So it was all in 182 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,839 Speaker 1: those early days. So I got my script through him 183 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: and wound up retroactively. The court accepted the the two fifteen, 184 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: and um, I wand up getting the case dropped only 185 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: up north. That only happens up So I got lucky there. 186 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: And then in two thousand four I got pulled over 187 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: in Orange County and I was a little bit of 188 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: a different scenario. But eventually, after five court dates, my 189 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: two fifteen got me out of that one too. If 190 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: that one I forgot to ask for my pounds back, 191 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: that's when I wasn't gonna mess with it. Right after 192 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 1: the second one, I was like, damn yeah. But even then, 193 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: even even then, you got charge it to the game. 194 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: Get yeah, you charge you, You charge it to the game. Um, 195 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: But depending if you had your paperwork, we'll see how 196 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 1: under to fifteen. If if you had individually, it might 197 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: be hard to get that back, you could. But if 198 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: you were under you know, operating a cooperative collectively properly 199 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: like we did with my kid the second time, when 200 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: we got the felonies dismissed, we were able to walk 201 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 1: out of the cops station with all his weed, hash money, phones. 202 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: That's the best feeling in the world is getting it 203 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: out of the evitable. That was awesome. Yeah, Craig, let 204 00:10:54,040 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 1: me ask you this. I mean you're operating real Craig, No, gently, yeah, Craig, 205 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: you know, operating a square foot uh up to thirty 206 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: four thousand square feet. I mean, what what kind of 207 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: staff do you employ to operate these kind of a facility? 208 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: I mean, there, you've got to have a ton of 209 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: people running around for you. And let's talk about that. 210 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: Or is it just you just out there? We leave 211 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: the hey month of cannabis. Um well, it's hard because 212 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: I have a management company that manages all of my 213 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: employees throughout the four or five different entities, three main 214 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: cannabis entities. UM So, I have nearly a hundred and 215 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: thirties plus or minus employees on average right now. UM so, 216 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: we do have a forty nine thousand square foot of 217 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,959 Speaker 1: outdoor cultivation that takes about a full time crew about 218 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: twelve people out there. And then July August when we're 219 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: harvesting and replanning for the second run like that, um 220 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: we got to bring in an additional ten to twelve people. 221 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: And then what really takes a lot of people is 222 00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: the manufacturing of products, um, you know, process seeing into packaging, 223 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: getting stuff distribution ready. So so how many medium licenses 224 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: do you have? You're only allowed to have one medium license. 225 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: So I only have one medium license and then an 226 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: array of small lights. That's what I meant, That's what 227 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: the ten and under. Yes, yes, so you must have 228 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: what twenty of those? No? I have one medium and 229 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: then sick small I believe you know, Look, I'm not 230 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: in that particular property. If I get confused between the 231 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: county and the state, got got you tell our listeners 232 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: how difficult it is and how long it took you 233 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 1: to go through the process to get actually licensed. It's 234 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: extremely difficult. I mean really it starts with your local municipality, 235 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: so it kind of depends on how hard and difficult 236 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: they make it. Um humble, you know, I would say 237 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: it was kind of the leader in the pack in 238 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 1: terms of opening up life. Yes, insane, not that thing easy. 239 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: But what kind of catapulted me and I was really 240 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: licensing um scheme was because the property that I had 241 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,199 Speaker 1: bought in two thousand and fourteen had already been visited 242 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: by what they called the wet team. It was, you know, 243 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: an array of different agencies that were going to bus 244 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: cannabis projects. So they actually came out to this property 245 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: before I bought it and then gave us a list 246 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: of violations, so that already started on all the use 247 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: aspects of it. So I was kind of, you know, 248 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: it's hard to determine whether to go legal or not, 249 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: but I was like, well, I'm just gonna go all in. 250 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: I see that people are making a living in Colorado. 251 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: It seems like there's opportunity, so I'm not going for it. 252 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: Not not as much in the old days, but you 253 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: still make money, not like the old days. Zoe, No, 254 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,959 Speaker 1: but you know it's you're not looking over your shoulder. 255 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 1: I like, I like being home and knowing that when 256 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: I hear a calicopter, I don't need to worry about 257 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: laying down and picking me up. We're talking to Craig 258 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: the Jetty out of Humble County is the CEO of 259 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 1: Talking Trees Farms, Tori Wellness, High Distribution, Creation, Skateboards. I 260 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: want to go back to when you went there at 261 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: twenty years old. How did that community because Humboldt County 262 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: man there, you know, it's like a good strong community, 263 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: let alone a cannabis You know, community, How did you 264 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: get your in there? Because now you're growing your own farm, 265 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: you have a distribution center, you opened up a dispensary. 266 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: What was your in I mean, was it the guy 267 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: with dredge and just getting along with everybody? How did 268 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: you get accepted into the community because now you're a 269 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: huge part of it and you're you know, employing a 270 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: lot of people out there. Yeah, I mean, I think 271 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: with the Hemp the Hemp Clothing Company definitely was a 272 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: big factor. You know, been up here and doing producing 273 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: products that most are hard to find. So the brand 274 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: SA Tory movement was pretty popular. And then um, you know, 275 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: you're just being in an area. You get to know people, 276 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: get to know the guys at the growth stores. You know, 277 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: it's a totally different world from when I first moved 278 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: here to now. I mean back in the day, you 279 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: didn't want to park in the in the hydro store 280 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: parking lot. You would like send a friend in that 281 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: wasn't doing the work, you know, someone that because you 282 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: always felt like the cops were what you know, it 283 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: was it was exposure that you wanted to be careful of. 284 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: So um, you you know, even up until a few 285 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: years ago, mutual friends or you know, my kids, teachers 286 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: and stuff. It was all kind of still hush hush, 287 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: no one really knew what was going on. But now 288 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: that it's you know, all out in the open, at 289 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: least legally local state level. You know, now it's just 290 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: kind of an open book and like, here's what was here, 291 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: what's going on? You want a job? We're still hiring. 292 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: Isn't it crazy that that? I mean, well, we're still 293 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: trying to change the stigma of people who smoke and 294 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: stoner mentality and all that stuff. I mean, it's still 295 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: is amazing to the degree that it is now acceptable 296 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: when you say, yeah, I'm in the cannabis space. I mean, 297 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: people don't really blink twice like they used to. Oh yeah, 298 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: it's cool now oh yeah. I mean I have landlords 299 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: that seven years ago like, no way, we won't rent 300 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: to a cannabis business, But now you know, they're renting 301 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: to me, and they're all about it, and they're actually 302 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: starting their own cannabis businesses. So you've definitely seen a 303 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: large a cultural shift from even more conservative people that 304 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: are seeing an opportunity. Um, but you know, it's changing. 305 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: Golden Glitter, isn't all there either they think they think 306 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: it's easy money. But I like, I like when people 307 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: getting near to cannabis like, oh, I'm gonna get in 308 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: this and make a bunch of money. I'm like, good luck. 309 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: Government's taking it all, you know. I mean we when 310 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: we tell people that when they come in for consultations, 311 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: it's like, hey, this is not you know, this isn't 312 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: what you think it is, and it's not the green 313 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: rush anymore. And we can talk about that a little 314 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: more when we get back from this break. Welcome back, 315 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: Welcome back.

Obviously 334 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,479 Speaker 1: we got first of all, we left the moment they 335 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 1: said that, everybody's yeah, we all left. And then, you know, 336 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: Friday afternoon after I'm sweating and you know, trying to 337 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: figure out what was gonna happen. To get these plants, 338 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: we gotta go grab everything. That's all the money. So 339 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 1: so we're up in the hills and everybody's like, yo, dude. 340 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 1: You know the cops are down there. They're always you know, 341 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: pulling everybody down with trucks. So if you had a 342 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: big truck coming from the hill, you were like a target, 343 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 1: you know. So I'm like, well, we're gonna get steakbad trucks, 344 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: you know. So we literally got those open steakbad trucks 345 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: and just put tarps over them. So it looked like 346 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 1: it was open, like an open truck, and like you're 347 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,360 Speaker 1: not gonna pull, You're not gonna stuff, you know, eight 348 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: hundred trees and you know, in these huge things, and 349 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 1: we had to we had to get forklifts and and 350 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 1: like you know, it was manpower for days. We moved 351 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: them all. We lost half the damn crop. You know. 352 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: But I understand your stories. I'm sure you had some. 353 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure you know. One of the things that was 354 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: intriguing me is is some of your long term goals 355 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: of the worm castings and composts and stuff like that, 356 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: you know, creating your own stews. You know, I'm sure 357 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: you're you're you're deep into that. What are your thoughts 358 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 1: on that, uh, in terms of like the feeding and 359 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,120 Speaker 1: bringing composts and stuff like creating your own your own 360 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,199 Speaker 1: compost and things like that. Is that that that's one 361 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: of your next steps? Yeah, I mean, I'm trying to 362 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: get to a scale we're actually producing like our own 363 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: worm castings and stuff like that. But you know, one 364 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: step at a time. But we definitely uh produce all 365 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: organic um. We use this global soil amendments and then 366 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: pretty much use dry powder products. I try to stay 367 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: away from the bottles as much as possible to in 368 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: terms of you can just stack up container fulls of 369 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: empty bottles freezing liquid nutrients. So you two growers talking 370 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: to each other in another language. You know this work. 371 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: You talked about worm castings and calm. What what is? 372 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: You give me some definitions? Tell me what this means 373 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: in plain English. You know there's worms in the cannabis tequila. 374 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: It's food, weren't worn't? Casting is basically worm poo, which 375 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: is a great uh, worm conditioner. And do you relax 376 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: so you can't eat any of it? Worm excrement go um. 377 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's great for the soil, it's great for 378 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 1: the plants. Helps nutrient uptake and then compost is you know, 379 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: how do you pick that up? Literally walk around a 380 00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: little little pooper scoopers? No, really, you're all joking aside. 381 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: I think people want to know. We're gonna talk. We're 382 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: gonna talk in that little bit of a detail. I mean, 383 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: how does that, How does that happen? How do you 384 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 1: distract that? Put a little thing in there extracting. I mean, 385 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: if you if you create a bed in an environment, 386 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: the worms will just constantly be eating you know, natural material. 387 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: Some people feed them sawdust, all kinds of different things, 388 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: and then they'll just when you eat your poop, and 389 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 1: then you sift those those castings from the like the 390 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 1: dirt and material and then you can extract that or 391 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: you can just add it to your soil as as 392 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: is um. So there's many different ways you can work 393 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: with it. But as we're talking about and we're talking 394 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: about growing and plants, and you have the Talking Trees farms, 395 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: that's where I'm sure you're using all this uh worm 396 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: poop at What are some of the stranger strands? I 397 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: know you're selling a Papa and Barkley, Papa selected a 398 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: bunch of other companies. What are the big strands that 399 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: I see that big company brand and a great looking 400 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: logo behind you talking trees, listen to the trees grown 401 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: and humble good byes. Feel I like the logo behind you. 402 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 1: It has a good look. I mean, like, what are 403 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: your strands and what does that grow? Like? We have 404 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: over a hundred strains, so you know, we mainly pack 405 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 1: a d industribute to like over three stores, so we're 406 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: always trying to find a new strain, work with breeders 407 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 1: and final hunt in particular cut. So right now, I 408 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 1: believe we have you know, eight greenhouses. We have a 409 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 1: bed per strains, have twenty four strains minimum on one 410 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: farm and then the adjacent farm different twenty four strains 411 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: or more. So we're always changing its tribute to try 412 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: all of them. Yeah, that I want to make sure 413 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: they're good. Listen, you gotta make sure you're gonna putting 414 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,239 Speaker 1: out a good product out there. I will tell you, 415 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: give me all one let me try them out with 416 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: a with all those strains. Uh, Greig, you've got you 417 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: must have a good intellectual property attorney. You're you're you're 418 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: protecting the names of those strains, and what kind of 419 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: difficulties have you had question maneuvering the the intellectual property 420 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 1: aspect of all this. Yeah. So I'm not too deep 421 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 1: into like the breeding side of it yet. So most 422 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: of the strains that we do have aren't proprietary to us. 423 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: Um So I've really gotten into that level of it 424 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: just yet. But I know there are people out there. 425 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 1: Even a friend of mine, you know, I thought I 426 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: had a stream well I know it was a name 427 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: out there. So we're like, oh, we got this strain. 428 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 1: I get a call from my buddies, Like, I'm like, 429 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: why is he calling me? He's like, I gotta let 430 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 1: you know, man, you're I got noticed that of trademark 431 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 1: and what trademark? You're still in my ship? Craig? What 432 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: am I? What are you talking about? The strain? You know, 433 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: we we trademarke. Did it's ours? And I'm just kind 434 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: of laughing. I'm like, okay, well whatever, we'll just call 435 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 1: it something different. But I know you didn't create that strain. 436 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: He just came up with a name and trademark. Up 437 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: until recent I think that's all strains were the same 438 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: bag of weed. Let's put this over here. Those we there, 439 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 1: and let's come up with some bitching names. Last night 440 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 1: and going on last night, my friends were making up 441 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 1: new names for Oh, this is called the I think 442 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: we should call this. You know. It's like this is 443 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: called the hot Ass? Yeah, come on, kind of weed? 444 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: Is that? What's been the number one? Always? I mean 445 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: it's always good to get trademarks, you know. So if 446 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: we do start creating our own strains, we definitely will trademark. 447 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: And whether we enforce the trademark or let it out 448 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,479 Speaker 1: and allow other people to grow it. You know, it's 449 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: kind of good marketing strategy to let people grow it. 450 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: Other people want to just hold and possess things. That's 451 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: not really my style. This is cool to call someone 452 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: and be like, hey, that thing you're trying to put off, 453 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 1: I have my name on it. Yeah, Craig, what's the 454 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: one that's gotten you the most?

Pre Roles, 456 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 1: you want at weed con, you want at high times? 457 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: Is that one strain that did it? Or was it 458 00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: a couple of different ones? Different strains? Uh? You know 459 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: right now, one one strain that we really keep in 460 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: our rotation is that we got a really good Skittles 461 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: cut many years ago. And um, it's a hard strain 462 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: to come by. You're gonna get. You're gonna give you 463 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: kid profile trademark on that favorite. It is so good, 464 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: um strain. Even this year the Z money for t 465 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: so z money is a Skittles O G cross. That's 466 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 1: a good one, you know. Speak speaking of different products lines, 467 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: you must be getting ready for a huge crop to 468 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: come down right now. How much products are you looking 469 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: at actually developing this year? I mean, you know, harvest 470 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: time is here, baby, So we're just right around the 471 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: corner for pay day. You know, I want to come 472 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 1: visit you remember these times in life, I didn't know 473 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 1: what time it is. Bro. They're they're getting ready right 474 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: now that everybody's getting I'm getting excited. A couple undercover grows. 475 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 1: We don't know about. You're just getting an I don't 476 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: want to know. I've heard about mine all over the TV. 477 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: Are you talking about? Let me ask you a question 478 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: right now. I just ask go ahead now stuff and 479 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: we probably got about you know right now, we're we're 480 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 1: already harvesting quite a lot because we do two runs 481 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 1: of light deep in most of the gardens, so we 482 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: probably got over six pounds ready to process. And that's 483 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:16,199 Speaker 1: that's the the bottleneck is getting a process, especially right 484 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: now with COVID and everything. We had to lay off 485 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: quite a bit of people up processing, and now we 486 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: have to do the social distancing. So we're running into 487 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: issues with in all the South American kind of trimmigrants 488 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,400 Speaker 1: that you have to rely on to get stuff done 489 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: this time of the year aren't around, so getting product 490 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: to market, and I think we're seeing it with other 491 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 1: branches because I have a store and the distribution is 492 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 1: extremely challenging.

But then again, I'm sure, I'm sure 525 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 1: you're in compliance for that. But seven different facilities that 526 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: are kind of spread out, so it would take a 527 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: whole day to see it. We got a weekend to 528 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: put aside. Let's go, boys, We're ready to do. We're 529 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: talking to Craig to gently out of Humble County and 530 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 1: I want to touch on high grade distribution. How many 531 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: products are you distributing but let alone? How did you figure? 532 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: Let me start also creating my own distribution company that 533 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: can help distribute all my products. It's a brilliant fucking plan. 534 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 1: You just like capitalize on everything. But but what are 535 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: you pushing out? Yeah? Well, actually, uh high great distribution 536 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,679 Speaker 1: was actually formed in two thousand four when I was 537 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: doing the skateboard business and clothing apparel for selling a 538 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 1: few of my other friends that have skateboard companies. We 539 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,719 Speaker 1: started distributing for them around the world because that product 540 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 1: can distribute globally. Um. But once I started getting into 541 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 1: the Cannabas space more and then transition of distribution Commanto 542 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: being a Cannadas distribution company. Um, so that was a 543 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: matter of progression our sorry two thousand eight team. Um, 544 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 1: once we were getting all into the canvas permitting and 545 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 1: it just seemed like a natural progression in distributing and 546 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: controlling where your own products go. If you only pushed 547 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: out your own products through there, Yeah, produce And also 548 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: H have an an agreement with space Jam gummies, and 549 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: so we just do talking trees and the space Jam 550 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: gummy brand and it keeps us quite busy. It is guys. 551 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: We'll be right back after this break, you know. Um. Actually, 552 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: I think I I've seen I met you some of 553 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: the trade shows at some point and um or some 554 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: of your guys that were out there working and they 555 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: had they had the high grade.
