00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 4: Yeah. Right, yeah, So it's good. It's good to see that,

101
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 4: you know, as we continue to do what we're doing

102
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 4: in the midwestern Chicago that you know, a lot of

103
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,839
Speaker 4: ears are perking up. People are seeing what we're doing,

104
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 4: and we're building a lot of relationships on the West

105
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 4: coast as well as the East coast. Right, so you know, again,

106
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 4: my name is Ambrose Jackson, the CEO of the nineteen

107
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 4: thirty seven Group. Got Alex go ahead.

108
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 5: My name is Alex el Siba. I'm the co founder

109
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 5: and chief strategy officer of the nineteen thirty seven Group.

110
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, And so you know, I think when it

111
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 4: comes to the nineteen thirty seven Group name, right, and

112
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 4: the meaning behind it, it's just a reflection of how

113
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 4: we operate just in general. Right, everything is very intentional

114
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 4: that we do, right, and I can call out many,

115
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 4: many examples so that you probably hear about it, you

116
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 4: know as we talk today. But you know, at the

117
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 4: end of the day, right, we're we're coming from, you know,

118
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 4: a history of this plant being weaponized against people that

119
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 4: look like us over generations. You know, we've seen the

120
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 4: impact between you know, a affecting our family, affecting our cousins,

121
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 4: affecting our dads, our grandpas and uncles, all of that, Right,

122
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 4: and you know the reality is it's it's been purposeful

123
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 4: in terms of you know, when we go back to

124
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 4: the ninth the Marijuana Tax Act of nineteen thirty seven, Right,

125
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 4: that's the reference that we're talking about here with the name.

126
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 4: You know, prior to that, cannabis was legal. You know,

127
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 4: hemp was legal. There was a lot of economies built

128
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 4: around it. And you know that Marijuana Tax Act in

129
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 4: nineteen thirty seven was put in place specifically for the

130
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 4: purpose of using this plant to start to lock out

131
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 4: black and brown folks in a very much racist way,

132
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 4: in a way to keep down you know, our people

133
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 4: and affect us negatively in terms of our economics. WHOA right,

134
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 4: you know.

135
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 3: It's funny talking I had.

136
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: I had like a ninety percent, like I think that's

137
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 2: the year that it happened, but I don't know for sure.

138
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 3: I need to hear from him, because I didn't want

139
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 3: to even come up eighth that the year that blah

140
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 3: blah blah.

141
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: So I had a feeling that that's what it was about, right,

142
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 2: And it's just so crazy to really hear this nineteen

143
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 2: thirty seven, Like nineteen thirty seven kind of seems a

144
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: little far up, but it's not that far off, right,

145
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: Like I was born up me too, right, So like

146
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 2: you're looking at somebody that was born, what not even

147
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: forty plus years after that, right, So I'm not even

148
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 2: forty years from that me that you could touch that

149
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 2: forty years before I was born, it was fully fucking legal.

150
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 3: Dog, And you know what I'm saying that when started, right.

151
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 4: Well, the thing about it is too is, you know,

152
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 4: like again when I talk about the meaning of the

153
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 4: name I jaw I Drop, I talk about that pass

154
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 4: and the history, but for us, it's more about the

155
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 4: president of the future, right, you know, as this plan

156
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 4: has been legalized, and you know, if you look at

157
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 4: all the different states and territories, you know, I think

158
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 4: seventy five percent of them have some sort of legal

159
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 4: cannabis program. Right, There's billions and billions of dollars been

160
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 4: made year over year, and we're not seeing none of it.

161
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 4: We're locked up and we're locked out of this industry.

162
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 4: And so you know, for me, it's all about the resurgence, right,

163
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 4: And that's why I referenced nineteen thirty seven group, because

164
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 4: like at the end of the day, like now we're here, right,

165
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 4: we deserve not only to see the table, but to

166
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 4: see the front of the table, you know, being part of,

167
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 4: an active part of and leading this industry. And so

168
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 4: that's really what we're all about.

169
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 2: I love the name, and like you said, it's very

170
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: strategic and it says a lot. I come from the

171
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: theory of those who know the past could have a

172
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: better prediction of the future and have a better understanding.

173
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: So those who do know history, it doesn't hurt, It

174
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: only helps, is my thought and theory on life and period.

175
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: You know period, like you know why because if you

176
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 2: know about the economics, if you know about how to grow,

177
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 2: shit care what it is right you're growing? How did

178
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: they grow in the past, Those who know the history

179
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 2: could have a better outcome of the future if you

180
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: study it and learn it.

181
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 3: Right.

182
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's what I love about your name right there,

183
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: I got I got some questions for you guys. Man,

184
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 2: So let's let's run it back though. You know Chicago, right,

185
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 2: you know, like what high school did you.

186
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 3: End up going to? You know, did you play sports

187
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 3: in school?

188
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 5: Like?

189
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 3: You know, where do you guys really come from? Like

190
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 3: who you know, who are you guys? Did you guys

191
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 3: go to college?

192
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 4: You know?

193
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 5: Yeah?

194
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean so so each of us have a

195
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 4: unique background. I mean, we can we can talk about it.

196
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 3: You know.

197
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 4: I think it's it's interesting and makes up really you know,

198
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 4: you know, the basis and the foundation of who our

199
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 4: company is. Right when I mentioned in nineteen thirty seven

200
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 4: group being born in Chica, like as a company, as

201
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 4: our brands that we're working on putting out, like that's truth. Personally,

202
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 4: I've been living in Chicago for like twenty five years.

203
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 4: I was born in Roa, which is near Chicago. You know,

204
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 4: I wasn't really big on sports, you know, I did.

205
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 4: I did a lot of different things, dibbling and dabbling

206
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 4: in this for money, including you know, weed, including getting

207
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 4: locked up. But at the end of the day. I've

208
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 4: always been a consumer, you know, and I always had

209
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 4: an appreciation and love for the plan.

210
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 2: So we whole life. Okay, yeah, me too.

211
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, he I think I think Alex

212
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 4: has a little bit more extensive resume with the number

213
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 4: of pounds that we're talking about. I let him get

214
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 4: into that. But you know, for me, living in Chicago,

215
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 4: it's a lot of other things that we had to

216
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 4: deal with, you know. And so you know, like for me,

217
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 4: I talk about like being shot, being a victim gang violence,

218
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 4: you know, having to go through that, and for me,

219
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 4: like the trauma and dealing with that over ten years afterwards,

220
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 4: really laid the foundation for a not for profit organization

221
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 4: that we created called the nineteen thirty seven Foundation. And

222
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 4: so you know, everything that we do is rooted in

223
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 4: authenticity and where we're coming from, you know, when it

224
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 4: comes to how we operate, you know, very very much

225
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 4: like multimedia focused, event focused, giving back to the community focused.

226
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 4: Like that's that's just because that's what we do on

227
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 4: a regular basis. So it's real easy to bring it

228
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 4: to our craft.

229
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 2: Amber Rose Jackson, CEO of the nineteen thirty seven groups,

230
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,640

233
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: think two things I could just walk over.

234
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know what I mean. I mean, okay, hey,

00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 3: I don't even tell you the whole story. It's not

237
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 3: that big of a deal, like what you're saying.

238
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,680

Speaker 4: tell you. I'll tell you a little bit. But I mean,

240
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 4: just like the the details a lot of things that

241
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 4: I've been involved with, I don't really like to go

242
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 4: into a lot, a lot, you know what I'm saying.

243
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 3: I'm sure I can google it, though. I mean, I

244
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 3: know your name, dog I'll tell you if you want

245
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 3: me to.

246
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, at the end of the day, right, like

247
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 4: my I grew up with family members that been in

248
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 4: and out of jail for for for you know, for slanging.

249
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 4: You know, I was locked up for doing the same

250
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 4: thing when I was a minor, you know, I was.

251
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 4: I was fortunate enough to not get a felony right

252
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 4: based off of that, and and I did that's a blessing. Yeah,

253
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 4: I did end up you know, doing.

254
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 2: Your nice slaps on the hand rather than I mean

255
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 2: I didn't. Yeah, I didn't not get the felony.

256
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 4: I mean that's a big deal, right that. But that's

257
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 4: that's that's, that's where the cycle starts, though, you know

258
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 4: what I'm saying, when I start getting you in the

259
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 4: system like that, and so luckily I was I was

260
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 4: able to you know, throughout my life and not get

261
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 4: you know, locked up to that point right and in

262
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 4: and out is okay almost like when you get right

263
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 4: right exactly, it's not a big thing, I'll go back

264
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 4: to jail. It's not a bit like so what you

265
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, Like it just becomes a mentality,

266
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 4: you know, as part of your lifestyle. So yeah, for me,

267
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 4: I ended up going I did go to college and

268
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 4: went to University Illinois Chicago. Yeah what I majored in biology.

269
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,320

270
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: fucking failed and couldn't get my degree in four years.

271
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 2: I had to go back and take my class twenty

272
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 2: years later to get my degree after I petitioned biology

273
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 2: for all classes.

274
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 4: Of God, quite honestly, man, I never I never really

275
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 4: like liked school and never fucked with it that much.

276
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,240

341
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: and I added the E between the B and the

342
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: R and Ambrose Jackson, the CEO of the nineteen thirty

343

Speaker 2: seven group became a light skinned black girl named amber

344
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 2: Rose Jackson that was going out with Kanye West.

345
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 3: So the Latino went.

346
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 4: To Uh, that's how I said. I don't call it

347
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 4: out because like I'm used to it sometimes, especially with Latinos,

348
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 4: is like.

349
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 3: You get another Mexican that called my fucking name ron Hey.

350
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 3: You know what, I'll it was probably a spell check

351
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,599
Speaker 3: that just fixed it for you. No, no, it was

352
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 3: my fault. No, thank you for trying to defend me.

353
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 3: Thank you. It was very nice. You know.

354
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: I'm an idiot for that. My eyes and I fucked

355
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 2: it all up. It spelt perfectly the way your name

356
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 2: is said. And I'm sorry I missed did that?

357
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 3: Ambrose?

358
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 4: Thank you?

359
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 2: Thank you, Ambrose exactly Ambrose. But Ambrose, you have a

360
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 2: good looking gentleman sitting next to you that you found.

361
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 2: Where did you find him? Where did you find Alex?

362
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 2: Because you're the CEO and for him to come in

363
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 2: as the co founder obviously Ambrose, you said, Alex, I

364
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 2: got an idea.

365
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, So Alex was introduced to me from a

366
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 4: mutual acquaintance while we were in the process of writing

367
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 4: our cultivation application and transportation application. This is probably about

368
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 4: five years ago. Alex had already been Chicago doing his

369
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 4: thing in a number of fronts and and so like

370
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 4: he has, he's come to the table with experience. He's

371
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 4: coming to the table bringing a lot, you know, and

372
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 4: so could I immediately saw saw you know what it

373
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 4: is that he could add to the team, and like

374
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 4: we just like click, just move forward from there, you know.

375
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 2: And Alex, what was it about Ambrose Jackson that said

376
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 2: I want to join this nineteen thirty seven group with him?

377
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 5: I think, you know, Ambrose has a unique skill set,

378
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 5: you know, when it comes to cannabis in general, I

379
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 5: think a lot of cannabis companies just kind of operate

380
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 5: on a whim, you know, not really like structured. And

381
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 5: so when I met Ambrose and I saw what he

382
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 5: was building with a team he had already assembled, I

383
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 5: was actually was, you know, leading my own team. And

384
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 5: I had applied for some licenses and then on the

385
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 5: next round, which was cultivation licenses. As he mentioned, we

386
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 5: were introduced to a mutual friend. He was like, you

387
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 5: got to meet this this guy, Ambrose. He's building a

388
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 5: good team. You know, there's an area that I think

389
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 5: you can add value, you know, to the to the team. Uh,

390
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 5: mostly in cannabis. You know, firsthand experience, which I have

391
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 5: a lot a long history of, and I think immediately

392
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 5: like it was just a natural synergy, like I saw

393
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 5: how he was structuring the team, like I saw you know,

394
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 5: unique skill sets with his training. He's got a master's

395
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 5: you know in in in a unique skill set that

396
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 5: you just don't really see and in cannabis, right, and

397
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 5: there was still a flare that I really liked about,

398
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 5: you know, keeping and really holding together the cannabis culture

399
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 5: in an authentic manner. Manner.

400
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 3: Now, do you guys have a license? Yeah?

401
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, we do.

402
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 3: What license?

403
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 5: Multiple licenses?

404
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 3: What licenses are they?

405
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 5: So initially, you know, we had applied for a retail,

406
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 5: cultivation and a transportation license and we actually won all three,

407
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 5: which was very very us.

408
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 3: Ambrose right here got the killer hand.

409
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, to be honest, he does. Yeah, he wrote. He

410
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 5: wrote all of our apps. You know, that's a skill

411
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 5: set again that he's got a very technical skill set

412
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 5: with app writing and and it's proven successful in multiple fronts.

413
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 5: Even with the foundation. He wrote a grant and was

414
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 5: awarded two point three million dollars for the grant for

415
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 5: the foundation. So you know, a lot of groups I

416
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 5: think like, go the easier route.

417
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 2: And write a grant for me. More of the craziest

418
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 2: thing is, though, you know what's beautiful about this. Ambrose's

419
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,239
Speaker 2: like you're the perfect face. That's not the face for that,

420
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 2: right and for you to fucking do that, dog, I

421
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 2: just want to hug you and kiss you and hug you.

422
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 3: Like yeah, all yees, show ball.

423
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 2: I want to put your fucking picture up on a

424
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 2: post and be like, this is the dude in Chicago

425
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 2: that's getting it done.

426
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I'm saying, Like, that's what I

427
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 3: want to do for us.

428
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 2: I want to do that for real, That's what we

429
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 2: need to do, Like we need to highlight this fucking

430
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 2: face right here and this dude, because this is the

431
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 2: type of fucking dude when you say that, dog w this.

432
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 3: We need to highlight this and let the world know.

433
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 2: That's why I got into it because I was like,

434
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 2: I'm getting shiels right now going when he said that

435
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: and then you put the masters, I was already putting

436
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,719
Speaker 2: it together, you know. I was just laying it up

437
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 2: into the because nobody gets one, two, three in a

438
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 2: row like that in Chicago, and it's new and the

439
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 2: groups and let's just call it what they are, they're

440
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 2: the why call what they are?

441
00:17:58,560 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

442
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 5: It was a it was a very difficult statistical probability

443
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 5: for us to win those three licenses. I think we

444
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 5: were one of three groups that actually won a license

445
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 5: in each category, and there were over seven thousand applicate applicants,

446
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 5: so it was a very like I said, there was

447
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 5: a little let hard hard did.

448
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 3: You have to application? Did you get to come over?

449
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 4: But I just I just you know, want to just

450
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 4: share that, you know, for us, Like that's just the start.

451
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 4: You know, we we stood up all three licenses, they're

452
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 4: all operational. Right now, we're in the process of standing

453
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 4: up seven more retail dispensaries. You know, you wanted how

454
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 4: to fuck we do that because we ain't even got

455
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 4: no money, you know, it's just like it's just what we.

456
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 5: Do it, you know, and multiple brands.

457
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 3: How many do you have? Now?

458
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 5: We have one retail store that's up, one craft cultivation

459
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 5: license that's up, and our transportation licenses operational. And then

460
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 5: we're in the process of rolling out seven more retail

461
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 5: stores currently and we're trying to get to ten. Try

462
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 5: in Illinois.

463
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 2: They Illinois, they probably pretty good because them become monopoly

464
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 2: and you know, I mean I like that.

465
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 3: Actually it's just the same thing.

466
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 5: Well, the whole the whole strategy there was like, you know,

467
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 5: me and Ambrose locked in on a strategy very early

468
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 5: on when we won those licenses, because we recognized that

469
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 5: we had a unique position in the market because because

470
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 5: Illinois is very corporate dominated, and you know, they lacked

471
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 5: the cannabis authentic culture, you know, and like we wanted

472
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 5: to make sure that that was a staple in Chicago

473
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 5: and when people thought about cannabis in Chicago, that they

474
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 5: you know, automatically thought about the nineteen thirty seven group.

475
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 5: So we've been you know, very adamant about getting to

476
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 5: market quickly. We've been working on multiple brands. We have

477
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 5: four brands of our own that we're launching.

478
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 3: Is Bloom one of them.

479
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 5: So Bloom is actually an LA based company. Yeah, as

480
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 5: I'm as you know, we talked about I'm from California.

481
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 5: And so once we won the licenses, we we kind

482
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 5: of took the distribution concept here, you know, in terms

483
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 5: of distrowing to retailers, and we partnered with a couple

484
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 5: of brands to get to market quickly because we didn't

485
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 5: want to rush our own brands, you know, Like cush

486
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 5: League is a brand that we've been working on Turp

487
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 5: Kings Outfitters, Higher Self. These are all brands that are

488
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 5: kind of uniquely positioned, you know, to serve a unique demograph,

489
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 5: demographic of consumers, not just you know, pigeonholed into one.

490
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 5: It's a very diverse strategy. But we wanted to take

491
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 5: our time and not just throw something out there. And

492
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 5: that's what a lot of people do. They rush to market.

493
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 5: They use Milar bags and the jar and just throw

494
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 5: a label on there and they think they've got a brand.

495
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 5: But as Zambro said, everything we do is very intentional.

496
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 5: So you know there's.

497
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,239
Speaker 2: A strategy behind these four. Please break them down. I'd

498
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 2: love to hear them.

499
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,959
Speaker 5: So this is actually one of one of our brands,

500
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 5: Cush League and Cush League.

501
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 4: You know.

502
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 5: For me, I was an athlete previously. I you know,

503
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 5: had a scholarship to play basketball in college, which is

504
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 5: where I started my cannabis ca yep, yep. And so

505
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 5: in two thousand and two, I got a scholarship to

506
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 5: go up to Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz is a very

507
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 5: liberal hippie town and so that was like my first

508
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 5: real interest deduction.

509
00:20:58,720 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

510
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, one of my one of my college teammates you know,

511
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 5: we had like a party and he showed me the

512
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 5: biggest jar of weed I'd ever seen, you know, because

513
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 5: I was like hustling half ounces in corners and then

514
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 5: I get to Santa Cruz and He's got this jar,

515
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 5: and I'm just like mesmerized.

516
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 3: But did you ever go to any of the groves

517
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 3: in Santa Cruz?

518
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 4: Oh?

519
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, we actually, so that was I started. I started

520
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 5: growing in two thousands.

521
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 2: Those hills are very like they are like Humble in

522
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 2: my opinion, yep, like Santa Cruz mountains can be very

523
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 2: much like Humble him and.

524
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 5: So like Kush League as a brand, as an example,

525
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 5: you know, it's it's a reflection of like me. Like

526
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 5: sports and cannabis specifically was a big part of my life.

527
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 5: I grew up with a single mom raising three kids,

528
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 5: and so I got to hustling at an early age,

529
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 5: and you know, keeping me busy with sports. I kept

530
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 5: myself active in playing a lot of sports, which led

531
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 5: to a scholarship later on. And then that was kind

532
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 5: of the turning point for where I really started going

533
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 5: hard in cannabis was a route that around that time,

534
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 5: and so when we when we came up with the

535
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 5: idea of building a brand. You know, I realized that

536
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 5: the sports lane in cannabis hasn't really been done, you know, correctly,

537
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 5: and so I like, for us, you know, cush League

538
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 5: is not only a product brand, it's going to be

539
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 5: a retail store and an apparel sports apparel line as well.

540
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 5: So we've been working on that for two years and

541
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 5: super exciting.

542
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 2: Are you looking at genetics in this cannabis as well?

543
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 2: That's more energy and pushing you out there like that

544
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 2: as well?

545
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, So like our we have a chew which is

546
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 5: like an edible product that we're launching. What does it have,

547
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 5: Like it's hash rosen gummy or a chew that also

548
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 5: has added vitamin supplements. So to your point of like active,

549
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 5: we may add some THHCV, or for immunity, we'll add

550
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 5: some vitamin C and really playing off of more of

551
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 5: the you know, isolated health aspect and things like that.

552
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 2: I love that, dude. I think that's lane missing in

553
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 2: as well, like a full lane. That's like there's so

554
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 2: many athletes out there. I mean, we have the recovery,

555
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 2: but we don't see the athlete that's pushing.

556
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I mean like let's go hard.

557
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 2: It's like I like that there was a company called

558
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 2: Drotein that was doing like you know, like.

559
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 3: Protein exactly that. But I just feel like there's any

560
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 3: harder I can look at. I see the retail show already.

561
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 3: I see the whole thing.

562
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 2: You know, every color, every league, I could see every sport, hockey.

563
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 5: Mean, people are crazy about their sports. It's a big

564
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 5: community and people are the Dodgers, the Lakers, Chicago, everywhere.

565
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 3: I can see everything.

566
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 4: That's the thing. You can see the branding right and

567
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 4: it all starts to click. And that's what we're talking about.

568
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 4: Even even the MSOs when it comes to building brands,

569
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 4: like they're not the ones that we should be looking to, right,

570
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 4: like when it comes to CpG and like you know,

571
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 4: incorporating creativity and linked in with the culture and like

572
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 4: hitting target target demographics, like you know, like this is

573
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 4: what this is what we do. Like I don't know,

574
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 4: I don't know if you've seen this right here, but

575
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 4: check check it out, open it up.

576
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I created that. It took me about a

577
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 5: year and a half to go through all the design iterations,

578
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 5: and we wanted to create a unique experience. And so

579
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 5: that's the proto type box for our kind of shoe

580
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 5: box concepts, Like we're going to open the region there, yep, yep.

581
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 5: So we're gonna do fresh drops, you know, with special

582
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 5: collapse with world class breeders people.

583
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 3: Yep, that's so cool. So it's like a shoe BOXE.

584
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 2: The whole sticker feels like the shoe box in your

585
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 2: closets if you're a sneaker.

586
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 3: And I get it, I feel it.

587
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 2: I see the vibe and I think it's fucking so dope,

588
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 2: dope and.

589
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 3: Cool and like it's a lane that I mean, it's

590
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 3: a mini weed shoe box.

591
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 2: I mean this is like I'm saying, the whole lane

592
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 2: is like not there because you can see the whole

593
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 2: shop with stupid ship, Like did I say stupid shit

594
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 2: the most respectful by you know what I'm saying.

595
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 3: I would go as far as this.

596
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying is linking up with like

597
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 2: a shoe brand or another or another company for that matter,

598
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 2: and be like, yo, what's going to be in this month?

599
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, Like twenty percent off of

600
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 2: your next Nikes or bla blah blah blah. You know

601
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Like because you can start marketing inside

602
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 2: the briting from my little recommendation too. For this one,

603
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 2: that's just how I want to see some fat dog

604
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 2: laces in that motherfucker.

605
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 3: Fat dog laces. So you buy your weed and you

606
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 3: got the fat dogs, you put ahead baan, you put

607
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 3: cush leg on the laces.

608
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 5: We got some ideas, like some influencer boxes that are

609
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 5: a little bigger than that, where we can throw in

610
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 5: some Kush League, you know, merch in apparently.

611
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 3: I just think it's cool, man.

612
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 2: You guys got that. Let's hear the next one. What

613
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 2: else you have here? Is that all for now?

614
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 5: You want to talk about like some of the other

615
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 5: brands we got going.

619
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 4: partnership with Lobo Rite, another brand that I think that

620
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 4: they really from the New York, New Jersey area, but

621
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 4: they came out to l A a number of years ago

622
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 4: to launch their brand and then they took it back

623
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 4: to New York now that it's legal over there, right,

624
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean, our other brands are all in

625
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 4: the process of development, so we're not. We don't have

626
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 4: them here for you, but like one of them is

627
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 4: called turp Kings. It's again, everything we do is kind

628
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 4: of like in its own unique space, right. So turp

629
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 4: Kings is really a brand that has different different type

630
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 4: of types of form and function. But the name you know,

631
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 4: says it all right. It's things products that like are

632
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 4: high end turpene percentage like flower high and turpines percentage,

633
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 4: or unique terpe profiles and using you know, this this

634
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 4: brand and this platform as a way to in a fun,

635
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 4: creative way, kind of change this narrative around how we

636
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 4: define quality in cannabis. Right, It's not just about looking

637
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 4: at that THAC percentage, right, And so you know, we're

638
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 4: doing that in a fun and unique way by incorporating art.

639
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 4: Like so we have a New York based artist as

640
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 4: doing all of our art. And it's like basically like we're

641
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 4: creating a turp Kings universe, so everything like Marvel Universe,

642
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 4: DC universe, Like there's five turp Kings, five categories, you

643
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, and so and so like it's

644
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 4: a real artistic play with like backstories to the turp

645
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 4: Kings and everything, right.

646
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 3: Keeps your vibe.

647
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 2: Well, not only that you're creating it exactly and people

648
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 2: will remember it. Why just like don't remember this, You

Speaker 2: you come on the show like get it and what

652
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 2: you're doing is fucking magical because it's part of the

653
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 2: culture's part of us. And when you said that, I

654
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 2: just mild because I can't imagine what these characters are

655
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 2: gonna look like.

656
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 3: That's what I mean.

657
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 2: I cannot wait to see what you guys explore and

658
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 2: take me too, mentally, emotionally, physically, what I can buy.

659
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 3: I'm already seeing this.

660
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 2: I could already see the fucking characters in the stores

661
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 2: and everything else.

662
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 3: Kudos to you guys.

663
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 2: Dude, man, you guys are doing it out there in Chicago.

664
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 2: I mean, this is like something that I'm looking at going.

665
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 2: I had no clue what you guys were up to,

666
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 2: didn't know who you guys are. I can't wait to

667
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 2: go see. I mean, we've never met each other, like

668
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 2: when we walked up Blue before we got on show.

669
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 2: Everyone we don't like to talk to the guests that

670
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 2: they're here, so it's like, you know, we don't like

671
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 2: to get to know you guys too much, and that's

672
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 2: just the way it is better for the show.

673
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 3: So we could be this.

674
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 2: Impressed, hold it out to start hearing it out there,

675
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 2: and then we're like, we don't know where to go

676
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 2: because oh, yeah, we already knew, but you guys are

677
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 2: so impressive to know that. Are you guys leading the

678
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 2: pack out there in Chicago? Do you feel like that?

679
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 2: I feel like you are from the least amount of

680
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 2: companies that I've talked to.

681
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,239
Speaker 5: I mean, I would say we're moving fast, you know,

682
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 5: and we're trying to expand so that we're not so

683
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 5: you know, I would say Illinois is an area, as

684
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 5: I mentioned, corporately dominated space, and we never wanted to

685
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 5: have to be leveraged by a larger company and so

686
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 5: hence the vertical integration and trying to get you know,

687
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 5: kind of incubated from any of that outside.

688
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 2: You know, you haven't take you haven't taken any investors

689
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 2: yet or yeah, all private investors.

690
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 5: So yeah, we've been we've been scrappy.

691
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 3: You know.

692
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 5: When we say like we're a startup company, we're real scrappy.

693
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 5: We just we work our tail off NonStop.

694
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 4: So but but the one thing I'll say, I mean, yes,

695
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 4: it's cool, we like, you know, we humble. I'm humble.

696
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 4: But at the same time, it's like when it comes

697
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 4: to our lane in Chicago in Illinois, like, yeah, ain't nobody,

698
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 4: ain't nobody doing what we're doing.

699
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you guys got that field. I mean, you

700
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 3: guys got three licenses. You're vertically interviewed like that.

701
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 2: That's to me, you guys are got to be looking

702
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 2: at as one of the bigger ships in the Illinois area, right.

703
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's just not it's not just that too. Again,

704
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 4: it's just just like everything that we do. If you

705
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 4: look at like our presence, our brand ambassadors, how they're

706
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 4: in the community, if you look at you know, how

707
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 4: we're when it comes to events, like we're big and

708
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 4: we're big and throwing like events that are unique that

709
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 4: nobody else does. The types of types of types of

710
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 4: events that we do. You know, like as an example

711
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 4: of flower ball we did that's an annual event and

712
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 4: it's like essentially like a big cannabis expo. Uh, you know,

713
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 4: we we get brands from outside of Illinois, different states,

714
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 4: all coming, but then it's merged with a fashion runway show,

715
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,719
Speaker 4: and so it's like kind of like everybody gives everybody

716
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 4: an opportunity to like, you know, dress up. You know,

717
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 4: do you know being in an environment that's a little

718
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 4: bit different smoking things down? Yeah, yeah, yeah exactly, So

719
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 4: everybody's like dressed up. It's a fashion runway show, like real,

720
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 4: real fucking designers like production like high production value. Put

721
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 4: a lot of money, a lot of time and effort

722
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 4: and creativity into what we do.

723
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 5: And it's capped up with a musical performance. So we'll

724
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 5: usually bring in a high profile guests or an up

725
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 5: and coming like no Name in Chicago to perform. And

726
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 5: it's been great. I mean, it's been something that that

727
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 5: that market in particular has been lacking until we kind

728
00:29:58,480 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 5: of came on the scene and made it a pla

729
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 5: to like incorporate that part of the culture.

730
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 2: It's interesting because we i mean, we do a lot

755
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 2: having a party, you know, Like it's like we're in

756
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 2: the cannabis industry. We just launched our location here and

757
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 2: it's you know, one of our hosts's birthday.

758
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 3: Why don't you come in?

759
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 2: And she's like, all right, So she puts her car

760
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 2: in park, leaves it right there, and it comes walking

761
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 2: in and she's just blown away. I mean, you know,

762
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 2: we've got lighting, you know, just smoken, smoken, live performances

763
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 2: in the back. I mean, we've we've got stages, and

764
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 2: there's pop ups and stuff and and she's just kind

765
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 2: of no one's selling weed, you know, but but there's

766
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 2: a lot of activity, and I think, you know, her

767
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 2: mindset shifted right away, you know, into like this is cool,

768
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 2: you know, like this isn't a bad is real, you know,

769
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 2: it's like normal, And it'd be different if we were

770
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 2: all in here selling weed, you know. And I'm not

771
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 2: saying that we have a little been here doing that,

772
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, we've all we've all obviously

773
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 2: we know the part. We're very we're very comfortable in

774
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 2: the cannabis industry, you know, and and and with what

775
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 2: it comes with, you know. But I think the understanding

776
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 2: is is that you are making the face of cannabis.

777
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 3: A better place, a better face because.

778
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 2: Of how you're creating that the walk through the runway

779
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 2: models with live performances, letting people you know, smoke while

780
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 2: those those things are happening. This is what it should be,

781
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 2: you know, it shouldn't be you know, shut down because

782
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 2: they're letting people get drunk and do these things, right,

783
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 2: and they're doing the bathrooms in the bathroom, they're doing

784
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 2: everything else in the in the in the game.

785
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 3: And at the same time, you can't smoke a joint

786
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 3: do that right, right?

787
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, I think I think for me that's part

788
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 4: of like the destigmatization a little bit, right, It's just

789
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 4: like for me, it's about I do the things that

790
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 4: I like to do anyways, that that makes that as

791
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 4: much work, right. So it's like we don't have events

792
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 4: where everybody comes together and it's like the purpose is

793
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 4: just to smoke we together, No, like, we come together

794
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,560

820
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 4: things going on all throughout the state, right, So like

821
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 4: when you talk about events, you know another space that

822
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,200

Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he had smoked all the times.

1012
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 2: Like that just goes to show you how dumb we

1013
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 2: were as kids, right, we never figured that out.

1014
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 3: I'm gonna trickle my shirt, but you were smoking in

1015

Speaker 5: You know.

1017
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 2: That's how we think though as kids, Like you know,

1018
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 2: we used to think we get away with it with

1019
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 2: our parents, like, oh my kids now.

1020
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 3: And I'm like, was that that dumb?

1021
00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 4: At least blow it out the window?

1022
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's that's exactly. I was like, let's go outside.

1024
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:06,640

1025
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 2: on my shirt, and you know me, because.

1027
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 3: blowing it out like you know it was. You know,

1028
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 3: it's funny, just we're just young and dumb.

1029
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 5: But you so I was. I was in eighth grade,

1030
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 5: summer of eighth grade, going into ninth grade, and I

1031
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 5: had a friend and his older brother was in high

1032
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,879
Speaker 5: school and had his license, and so I remember him

1033
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,720
Speaker 5: picking me up one day and and uh, I remember

1034
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 5: smoking out of a can. His older brother was the

1035
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 5: influence that kind of got us to start, you know.

1036
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 5: And uh, I still remember the time. I really didn't

1037
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 5: recognize whether I was high or not. I just remember

1038
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 5: laughing a whole lot. But I just I was I

1039
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 5: didn't really know what the feeling was, so I just

1040
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 5: wasn't for sure certain that I was.

1041
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 4: Highing that that doesn't remind me of one thing like

1042
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 4: back in the day, Like okay, I remember smoking out

1062
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 5: about the combination of cannabis and nicotine, you know, kind

1063
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 5: of wrap. I grew up really heavy on Swishers, and

1064
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,560

1071
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 5: there's something about a Swiss or sweet the way that

1072
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 5: it burns. I almost it goes so perfectly, and it

1073
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 5: just I always think there's like something in there that

1074
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 5: just isn't as natural as a real, you know, tobacco leaf,

1075
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:24,879
Speaker 5: you know.

1076
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,439

00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 2: could have been your grandma would have thrown a chunk

1085
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 2: at you.

1086
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 3: You know what I mean. Crazy could have been a

1087
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 3: dog would have bit you. What's crazy to you?

1088
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 4: I mean, all right, So I guess I can't. Again,

1089
00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't. I don't think in terms of that,

1090
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 4: Like I guess that's just do a lot of shit.

1091
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 4: But yeah, and sometimes it's like okay, like you know,

1092
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 4: maybe more risky now you know it is what it is, right,

1093
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,240
Speaker 4: But like I don't know. The one thing I can recall,

1094
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:11,800
Speaker 4: like I think it was like when I was younger,

1095
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 4: I was at ah this bonfire like in the middle

1096
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 4: of like nowhere, and it's like you had in order

1097
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 4: to get onto the plateau area where the bonfire and

1098
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 4: everybody was smoking, like you had to drive your car

1099
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 4: over this one area like where where there's not a ditch.

1100
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 4: It was like filled in right, but there was like

1101
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 4: a ditch on both sides.

1102
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 3: You could have falled your death.

1103
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 4: No, I'm just I just knowing, like the next morning,

1104
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 4: because I had my dad's car actually like until the

1105
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 4: next morning when when he looked at his car, the

1106
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,320
Speaker 4: bumper was halfway ripped off, because when I was driving,

1107
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 4: I missed that motherfucking spot and I drove like down

1108
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 4: here we're were supposed to be supposed to be almost

1109
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:46,760
Speaker 4: ripped it back in my back, my fucking bumper.

1110
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 2: That to me is exactly what I mean by crazy,

1111
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 2: Because your daddy's gonna beat your eye for fucking ruin

1112
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 2: in the car and you're over there getting high, right,

1113
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,839
Speaker 2: That's the craziest fucking place I love something stupid ship

1114
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 2: like that. I wrecked my mats card getting at the church,

1115
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 2: backed up into a fucking pole, and for me, like,

1116
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 2: you know, thinking about it, like I you know, and

1117
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 2: I didn't think it was that crazy when I did it,

1118
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 2: by the way, but but now I look back at it,

1119
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 2: and I hear everybody else I smoked that court, you know,

1120
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 2: so on the courts, you know, on the you had

1121
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 2: to go up to like the twelfth or thirteenth floor

1122
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 2: to do you know, uh for you know, I think

1123
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 2: it was juvenile you know, criminal juvenile court was like

1124
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 2: thirteenth floor. So I had to go up there and

1125
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 2: I had I had some uh some weed in my

1126
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 2: pocket and uh and like a little glass pipe or whatever.

1127
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 2: And I walked through the metal of tech. I was like,

1128
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 2: it's glass, you know what I'm saying, Like, I know,

1129
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like it's glass.

1130
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 3: And I got to get through it. But I was

1131
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:39,799
Speaker 3: just like I didn't even think.

1132
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 2: And then I and I walked out to this little

1133
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 2: exit and I went into the exit and I looked

1134
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 2: and I said, kind I open the door, and I

1135
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 2: was like, Okay, the door is not going to lock

1136
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 2: me out. So I walked out to the back patio

1137
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:50,919
Speaker 2: of this it's just a stairway that went down.

1138
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 3: I was on the outside, but I smoked it and

1139
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 3: then walked back in.

1140
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,359
Speaker 2: But when I walked in, I realized everybody else is like, dude,

00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 3: I'm borderline bitter.

1237
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 2: So I kind of got to watch it a second

1238
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 2: time so I can get my bitterness out and be like,

1239
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:23,439
Speaker 2: But to tell you my reaction of it, I still

1240
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:24,799
Speaker 2: liked it, you know what I mean. I was like, Yes,

1241
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 2: it was cool because it's everything you know and love

1242
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 2: about the man. You already know the inding I.

1243
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 5: Wouldn't wanted to smoke with him, though, I feel like

1244
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 5: it would have been dope to smoke in a session

1245
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:34,280
Speaker 5: when he's making some music.

1246
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1247
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's hard to be like that.

1248
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,839
Speaker 2: I mean, just think about whatever concert you've been to, right,

1249
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:44,319
Speaker 2: like all of us when such and such dies, when

1250
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 2: we were there, and I don't even want to say

1251
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 2: the artist's names, but like we were just because I

1252
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:48,880
Speaker 2: don't want to wish death on any of them. But

1253
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 2: you mean, imagine being at a concert that we've just

1254
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 2: been at whatever last, when you're at and then that

1255
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 2: person's gone and you were smoking, you were like that

1256
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 2: was a great time. I mean, to be able to

1257
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,879
Speaker 2: do that with Bob, even to watch and perform would

1258
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 2: have been fucking like one of those dude, when I

1259
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 2: was at that concert in Santa Cruz, at Chicago, in

1260
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,479
Speaker 2: La wherever it's at, would have been one of those

1261
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 2: memorable moments, because he is one of those icons that

1262
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 2: no matter who comes on, his name always gets brought up.

1263
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 5: He was big in sports too, you know, like he

1264
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 5: was into soccer. Yeah, and so like that kind of detent.

1265
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 2: He watched the movie Oh yeah, well now, and I mean,

1266
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 2: I you think though soccer he died fucking foot like

1267
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 2: ship and he died at such a young age. If

1268
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 2: you think about it, like Bobb, you think was fifty

1269
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:32,280
Speaker 2: some years at the motherfucker thirty four years old, Like

1270
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 2: you know, got lock down, he got a lot of.

1271
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:36,200

1272
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:38,359
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, how he died and how much

1273
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,560

1274
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I got to meet him. Yeah yeah, I

1275
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 3: was in studio with him.

Speaker 2: had a lot of PTSD and everything going on, you

1282
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:01,880

1283
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 2: at it, because I mean, you know when when you realize,

1284
