And that's what we did when 327 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: we were on tour and we went to these events 328 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: because I've done up until COVID, we used to do 329 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: a hundred and twenties shows a year, and that included 330 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: all the rock and roll, a hip hop family best 331 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: festivals we've done. In the Latin book fairs, where there 332 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: was a group of people I would just roll up 333 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: and get in there and do a booth. And that's 334 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: that's basic how I live. It's just just doing a 335 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: hundred and twenties shows a year. Unfortunately, I wasn't even 336 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: there to see my kids grow up, you know, because 337 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: I was always on the road trying to provide and 338 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: trying to introduce people to cannabis, you know. And I 339 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: had made a choice back then. It's like, you know, 340 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: because it was it was so taboo, and I said, 341 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm either gonna walk this line or 342 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: go all the way.

It's great. 348 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: You know, when you start right now, it's difficult because 349 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: you start thinking about it. It's like, you know, people 350 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: people take for granted, you know, how you get to 351 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: hear stage here, you know what I'm saying, And it's like, 352 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: how do you get here is by putting in work, 353 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: you know, And and when you start putting in that work, 354 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 1: and some people slide in and and you know, for 355 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 1: a quick hot flash and they show up and then 356 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: they they sizzle out.
