00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 5: Oh, your parents pushed you there. That's good.

163
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 6: My soccer skills paid for half the position. Uh sweeper.

164
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 3: Nice nice.

Speaker 6: Yeah, so uh I played, you know, played soccer for

170
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 6: the school. Then the school kind of uh uh subsidized

171
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 6: the other you know, part of the tuition art scholarship.

172
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 3: That's nice.

173
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 5: I hope my son gets one of those.

174
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 6: Cool.

175
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

176
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 6: So I started hanging out with a bunch of surfers,

177
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 6: you know, because we were living on the coast, you know,

178
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 6: in like your field beach uh and uh sorry surfing,

179
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:41,559
Speaker 6: and all my friends smoked.

180
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 4: We was and I was like, oh, yeah, because you're

181
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 4: a mister soccer player and that's going to kill you.

182
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 4: And it's just Nancy Reagan told me, so therefore that's bullshit.

183
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 6: I just never really heard about drugs until I, uh,

184
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 6: I hate it, and I came to the US. You know,

185
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 6: we were very sheltered, you know, in Colombia in a way.

186
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 6: You know, I said, we were, we were rich some point,

187
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 6: and then when we came here, we just started from

188
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 6: the bottom of game, and then all my friends were

189
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 6: surface they smoked weed. And that's how I got introduced into, uh,

190
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 6: into the wee game. Yeah, to really get into the

191
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 6: wee game. And I you know, I was in construction

192
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 6: and my friends and say, hey, man, you build build

193
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 6: me this. So then I started building, you know, a

194
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 6: smoke grow room, and then you build another one. You

195
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 6: build another one, and you take them down and you

196
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 6: move them, and then you start seeing what worked what

197
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 6: didn't work, you know, from taking them down. Especially, it's

198
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 6: like there's a lot of mold or there's a lot

199
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 6: of leaks or whatever there's in and Forwarida, there is

200
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 6: no outdoor growing because you can't just you know, climate climate,

201
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 6: plus you get you get caught caught indoors too. But

202
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 6: you had to build the places super sealed. And then

203
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 6: when you superly sealed the place, then there's this challenges

204
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 6: and stuff like that. You know. You see, I was

205
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 6: able to have ac contractors elect of contractors, and I

206
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 6: got smart. I would only build grows for for the

207
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 6: guys that that uh, hey, you had the right, No, no,

208
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 6: I'll actually build them a cost. I would build all

209
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 6: the grows that costs you pay for all the materials

210
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 6: and labors free, say my guys, but I would give

211
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 6: the rights to the product. I had the rights of

212
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 6: first refusal to any product that came out of that grow,

213
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 6: and I would maintain the grow. You know. If the

214
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 6: AC broke down, I was on call. I go fix it.

215
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 6: You know, you know it was a leak or whatever.

216
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 5: Just cool strategy. And this is the first right of it.

217
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 6: That's right.

218
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 3: If it was fire, you took it.

219
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 6: I took it all the time anyway, because I would

220
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,479
Speaker 6: never let anybody come in the game. You know, that's

221
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 6: the rule. I mean, I just don't let nobody in.

222
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 5: You know.

223
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 6: That's that's kind of how it was important. You take

224
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 6: all the product up the street, and then you are

225
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 6: the guy that that that that they supplying everyone come

226
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 6: out of it. Yeah, for sure, and you dictate the price. Yeah,

227
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 6: but that's kind of how that. Yeah, did you do well?

228
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 6: I did extremely well.

229
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 5: Yeah.

230
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 6: I also was smart enough to uh realize that, you know,

231
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 6: that's like a stepping stone in a way. You can't

232
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 6: just do that forever. Uh. I know. There was then

233
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 6: in school that says, hey, what is it that for

234
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 6: a living? And they say, hey, grows weed? You can't

235
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 6: say that. So I went to a contracting school at

236
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 6: nighttime and I became a general contractor. So I built,

237
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 6: I build home further, I built high home furtherm Still, no,

238
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 6: I just build grocery a living.

239
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 7: Now they pay better, Yeah, yeah, they pay a lot better.

240
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 6: So so yeah, so I was a contractor, would go

241
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 6: high homes, and uh, I probably wouldn't have made it

242
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 6: in construction if I didn't have the side game of

243
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 6: the hustle, the weed. There's a lot of times and

244
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 6: like I said, it was like my dad didn't have

245
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 6: a construction company or anything like that. It was just

246
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 6: I learned it from scratch. I went to real the

247
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 6: school hard knocks. You know, like sometimes if you under

248
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 6: bit a job, well, guess what the hustle had to

249
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 6: pay for for for the bad estimation, you know, stuff

250
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 6: like that. So that that was that was able to

251
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 6: make that construction company succeed and to the point that

252
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 6: once you learned then you know, then that came higher

253
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 6: than than the hustle. And it was like, okay, so

254
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 6: you did the hustle because it was a side thing.

255
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 6: You know, money was great. You could still go to

256
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 6: the clubs and spend money, and it was just a

257
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 6: social thing, you know, and it was still cool to

258
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 6: do it anyway. And then the real estate market took

259
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 6: for crap and two thousand.

260
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,359
Speaker 5: Or something, oh yeah, seven eight just really crash.

261
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 6: Crash, lost everything, lost everything. You and me both was

262
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 6: there and all this time, YE got my ass kick,

263
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 6: We're a millionaire. I thought I was gonna be a

264
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 6: renowned high in custom home building and.

265
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 5: Four homes at that point, man, and I was rolling

266
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 5: me too.

267
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 6: We had a house on the water, We had the

268
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 6: boat in the backyard. I mean, it was just like

269
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 6: I made it. I made it, and life goes, oh shit,

270
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 6: your ass down, you know.

271
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 5: The ship.

272
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 6: So I had had divorced, kept the two kids. You're

00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 6: how am I gonna How am I gonna do it?

274
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 6: So I started, Uh, I built another couple of because

275
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 6: I kind of had faded away from from from building

276
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 6: the places. You know, I still had a couple of

277
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 6: guys that were out there. So I started building a

278
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 6: couple other people and then start to get some money.

279
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 6: And then the ship hit the fan with those two

Speaker 5: too late.

306
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, they pulled the kids out of school.

307
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 5: There's no letter needed.

00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,599
Speaker 6: a from a friend for one hundred percent. Interesting I

317
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 6: got I got like one hundred and fifty k, you know,

318
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 6: and a K and then but uh, but uh he's

319
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 6: a property in Orville, California. Orville, Yeah, no, small spot

320
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 6: north of Zacleman Meth Town.

321
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, totally.

322
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 6: Yeah. So I bought up a property there and field

323
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 6: both an old indoor and built an indoor there and

324
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 6: super underfunded, you know, going back and forth on to

325
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 6: make that work for a while, and then it was

326
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 6: hurting for I wasn't making any money. And then kind

327
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 6: of figured it out and then we ran that place

328
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 6: for a while and then actually ended up getting rated there,

329
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 6: getting raided there. We uh we uh I made uh

330
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 6: we're actually came out of doing bad. We did really

331
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 6: good and that we used to ship backs in the

332
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 6: carp boxes that that ship sucked. That was stressful. I

333
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 6: had no nails. And then we went into crate so

334
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 6: it woul built crates like that. We put in an in

335
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,599
Speaker 6: the crate and we would drive it over across to

336
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 6: the Nevada Botor because I wouldn't ship out of California

337
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 6: custom crates that were built from the inside, so you

338
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 6: couldn't take the trade apart, and then the top lid

339
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 6: would have ring chin. You know that that you have

340
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 6: to destroy the wood. There was no there was no hey,

341
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 6: let's put it back together. And again yeah yeah, no,

342
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 6: I mean the thing was strapped. It was fully done

343
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 6: with with with you know, a fake invoice, little package,

344
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 6: you know, package slips and stuff like that, and then

345
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 6: uh logos and the whole deal. First time I went

346
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 6: to go drop like an engine, the guy goes, oh engine,

347
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 6: the kind of what kind of engine is? I was like,

348
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 6: you're in the headlights. I'm like, oh fuck. We got

349
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 6: to change three fifty seven changes. So then the next

350
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 6: time I started saying, you know, I gotta I gotta

351
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 6: think of stuff that I can put in the crate,

352
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 6: which is construction equipment. I'll talk about constructioning equipment all

353
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 6: day long. So I looked at companies that had laser

354
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 6: laser guiding things for for bobcats, you know, for for grading,

355
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 6: you know. So I say, you know, that's what I'm

356
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 6: gonna do. So I, you know, made a fictitious named

357
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 6: the logo. Whole deal even embroidered with the logo, And

358
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 6: whenever I would drive over to to Nevada, I would

359
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 6: start having fake invoices from Sacramento that I was going

360
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 6: to drive to Orville and then from there dropping them

361
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 6: off the crates in the back of the truck. So

362
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 6: you have a story. You gotta have a story. When

363
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 6: you get pulled over, you can go what is.

364
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 5: In these boxes?

365
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 6: Sir? I got a delivery my company I left from Sacramento. No,

366
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 6: I worked for the company I left in Sacramento. Yeah,

367
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 6: I'm going. I went to Orville, dropped one off, and

368
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 6: then I decided to stay to night and I'm going

369
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 6: over to to Sparks.

370
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 5: And I love this story.

371
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 6: By the way, you got you had to make a ply.

372
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 6: You have to have clipboard the whole deod, you had,

373
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 6: the whole nine make sure you have to I mean,

374
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 6: you have to sell the dream, I guess in a way.

375
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 6: So then we did that for a while. We did

376
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 6: that for both you know, FO sawid good four years,

00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 6: by that time, I was already in in Florida. And

380
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 6: then I had a friend that I had paid to

Speaker 6: a screen before, you know, just the whole deal. And

415
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 6: then uh and then let them pick the thing off,

416
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 6: put it inside, and then you wait for another hour

417
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 6: and see if ain'ting happened. And a friend that go

418
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,479
Speaker 6: pick it up, You go pick it up. You go

419
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 6: made a home depot truck the truck and took cases.

420
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 6: You know. Uh, the crates in the back of the

421
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 6: truck and the business. That's how we did it for

422
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 6: a while.

423
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 3: How many pounds do you think you're moving?

424
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 6: That's a I don't know every every crate anywhere between

425
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 6: between eighty to three hundred depends on what it was.

426
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 6: But you know, ship than a oil to yeah, you know, shatter, yeah, shadder.

427
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 6: We did a bunch of shatter. The shadow was in

428
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 6: the center of We had these five mili thick bags

429
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 6: of my lard. There were thickest could be. You needed

430
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 6: a five hundred degree jaw to seal these things and

431
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 6: then a little vacuum to to to suck the air

432
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 6: out to a point that you didn't kill it, and

433
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 6: then you'd you'd seal it. And you use that somewhat.

434
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 6: So you build the crate, You put uh closer insulation

435
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 6: inside to keep it cool, and then you put you

436
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 6: put the worst weed you put on the outside because

437
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 6: that's the hottest park. Not that I ever got hop,

438
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 6: but that's your mentality. If anything goes bad, you want

439
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 6: those two to take it. And then the better we

440
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 6: goes inside. And then the cooler was inside with the

441
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 6: dry ice with straps to keep because it was going ground.

442
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 6: Those crates would go ground every seven days. Yeah, you

443
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,959
Speaker 6: know in the summer it's in the trailer. It'll get

444
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 6: one hundred and sixty the place. And it was going

445
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 6: through Texas, you know, and.

446
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 3: You went ground because they didn't check it. And they

447
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 3: don't check it as much.

448
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 6: They don't check anything. This was not anything overnight or

449
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 6: two day air. They're gonna check. They're gonna cooke you know,

450
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 6: you know, they're gonna steal it. They're gonna they're gonna

451
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 6: get you. So ground was cool and seven day ground

452
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 6: was on that normal you know, it just it just flew. Well.

509
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 5: First off of being so honest.

510
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 4: We don't get too many cats up here that let

511
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 4: the cats out the bag of the game that should

512
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 4: be sold and not told so easily. Blue could really

513
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 4: relate to it a lot, becase because he too was

514
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 4: in that same game as Dad taught him. With everything

515
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 4: you did come, you know, very similar serrh stories, and

516
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 4: I've heard from him very similar. My older brother did

517
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 4: a lot of similar stories too, and pushing a bunch

518
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 4: of other things, and before he got busted selling cold

519
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 4: but that was how he got busted when I was ten,

520
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 4: So you know what I mean, I've seen that happen

521
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 4: in the Feds come in and break the doors down.

522
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 4: But like Blue said, before we went to break, did

523
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 4: you ever get popped?

524
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 6: Yeah? Uh yeah I did. I got popped in uh

525
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 6: in Orville, California. I think I was starting to say

526
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 6: earlier I got an Orville, California. We were grown. I

527
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 6: think we had a it was a three thousand square

528
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 6: foot steel building rented for years. Great and then we

529
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 6: started and a friend of mine showed me this thing

530
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 6: with this hutine little thing, and then he squirt it

531
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 6: in and we did it and was like all that

532
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 6: just for this ship right here in this little razor glade.

533
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 6: I'm like, dude, tell me when I got a machine

534
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 6: invented that that can can do this, can recycle the

535
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 6: but tank because it was back then it was just

536
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 6: so new. That was just open blasting, right, you blow

537
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 6: yourself up open blasting with the but with with a

538
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 6: PBC pipe, you know, the little distractor.

539
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 3: It was just like, I hope we don't die today. Yeah,

540
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 3: it was so crazy looking.

541
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 6: It was.

542
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 3: I used to get out of the room anytime someone

543
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 3: was doing it. I was like, you know what, I'm cool, man,

544
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 3: I don't want.

545
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 6: To do this. It just didn't seem worth it, you

546
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 6: know if like you know, the effort if all that stuff.

547
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 6: But you know, they started dabbing whatever. You know, it's

548
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 6: barely purged. And then they started getting better at it.

549
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 6: So one time he shows me this equipment, he goes

550
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 6: check it out. So I said, okay, that's interesting. So

551
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 6: then we did set up at West Coast Tour. We

552
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 6: went to Bogert in San Jose, California, and then we

553
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 6: went up down the water of the Five up all

554
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 6: the way to Washington and we checked that all the

555
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 6: extraction equipment and uh by an extractor and extractor equipment,

556
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 6: then modified car holor we modified a car haller and

557
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 6: we made an extraction then. So it was like breaking

558
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 6: breaking dabs, breaking bad.

559
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 7: It was making dabs, yeah, and uh and we would

560
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 7: bring the equipment to the to the spot when it

561
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 7: was time to extract, we would we were tracked.

562
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 6: I got a bunch of clients from around the area

563
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 6: that I would go pick up the product and extracted

564
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 6: theirs first of while we were trimming our stuff and

565
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 6: then we're getting our trim ready to extract. But yeah,

566
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 6: they came in on us one day. It was everything

567
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 6: was put away, and everything was put away, everything was finished.

00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 5: But I can hear the story after the story, it's

601
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 5: just entertaining. This is the one what happens in this

602
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 5: in this life.

603
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 3: It's been like this, and for many years with a

604
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 3: lot of people.

605
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 4: This is what people have had to go through. I mean,

606
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 4: like blue stories of they're raiding the shop. Well, I'm

607
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 4: not coming back to the.

608
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 3: Shop right now, it's not my shop.

609
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 6: They circled me.

610
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 2: They had a magazine and and and uh at the

611
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 2: shop and my face was in it with two attorneys

612
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 2: on the on the.

613
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 3: Thing, and they circled it. This guy just my face and.

614
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 2: They left it open on the table there, and I

615
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 2: was just like, oh god, that guy.

616
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 6: Yeah.

617
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 3: I was like yeah, I walked it like great.

618
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 6: Yeah. So the question was I raided? So that's why

619
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 6: I went straight to that one. Yeah. So anyway, this

620
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 6: car holder is that it came in and then I

621
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 6: was gonna run out the back and said, fuck, okay,

622
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 6: well it's five dudes here. The other place I got

623
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 6: readed it was only one there, and I knew he

624
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 6: was solid. This could be he was you know, he

625
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 6: was gonna take it and then you know, pay for

626
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,520

628
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 6: just I didn't want to go to deal with our shoes,

629
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 6: so I came out. I just want to put my

00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 6: shoes on there. They tackled me and whatever the rest is.

631
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 6: We fought that case for four and a half years.

632
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 6: COVID did help. They were only trying, like you know,

Speaker 6: Great attorney by the way, she's Jesse Santana out of

637

Speaker 6: Yuba County. Great guy, best attorney I've ever had to think.

638
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 6: He would call you that day whenever I had a call.

639
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 6: If worst comes towards within twenty four hours, the next day,

640
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 6: he would call me. And when I would call.

00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 5: Him, Jesse fu man.

642
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 6: They got me. I read the discovery. I read this

643
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 6: every day. It's because he committed the crimes. I mean,

644
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 6: you're guilty. You know, we can fight do this, we

645
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 6: do that. He always lifted me up, you know, you

646
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 6: always gave me hope. Yeah. Uh cost me for that hope,

647
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 6: and that's okay, not a bad Yeah, So the thing

648
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 6: is it was it was a car holder, it was

649
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 6: a mobile car holder. It was the brand new phone

650
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 6: that I had in that In that phone, I had

651
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 6: a lot of videos from Challice back when Chalice is going.

652
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 6: Because we got raided, like July twenty fourth of July

653
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 6: twenty seven, I had just gotten from Chaute festival. Yeah,

654
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 6: the festival, Juggie Oi festival. Yeah, all kinds of videos, labs,

655
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 6: all kinds of ship everywhere. Right, So we knew what

656
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 6: they had because on my phone. So the defense was,

657
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 6: you know, you're right, we extracted, but we didn't extract here.

658
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 6: We extracted in another county. I could extract it in

659
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 6: county next door to a distracted in Colorado, distracted and

660
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 6: fucking Florida, and it was moved to here. So, yes,

661
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 6: we're guilty of cultivation, no big deal. Uh, we're guilty

662
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 6: of possession, but we did not extract that year that

663
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 6: product in this county. Right, since unheard of the other

664
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 6: four fucking guys that I got arrested for, y'all shut

00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 6: mean they're out there. You can see this, or you

669
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 6: will see this. I'm gonna send it to your ass. Yeah,

670
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 6: you guys are the main reason why we all pulled

671
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 6: it off. It's not it's not me, and it's it's

672
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 6: the attorney's there too, but it's you guys. You guys

673
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 6: are up here because they shut the fuck up. I

674
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 6: think that's what's up. You know what other attorneys, Yeah,

675
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 6: the prop brothers, Yeah, a lot, shut the fuck out.

676
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 5: S fdu YEA love Mark and Craig Washerman exactly.

677
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 6: So because of that, they had the burden of proof

678
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 6: to say that it was actually attracted in that county,

679
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 6: which they could since it was mobile and then he

680
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 6: was mobile and they had the stuff on the phone.

681
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 6: Are our r mob was to say, Yo, we extracted it,

682
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 6: and then we had experts gonna come and testify, and

683
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 6: all this kind of ship down that it wasn't manufacturer there.

684
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 6: You know, you know you're right. You have to prove

685
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 6: you out. And obviously it's still a crap shoot because

686
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 6: if you're gonna go to court, you know they're gonna

687
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 6: pick twelve jury of your peers and there's that guy

688
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 6: that's gonna say, fuck this quhoto dude. You know he's

689
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 6: he's in my town and he comes.

690
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 5: Here and he thinks's gonna grow, we eat, and he's

691
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 5: gonna go oil Colombian.

692
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, guilty. But then there's other guy that says,

693
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 6: you know what, you know, if you interpret the law,

694
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 6: they failed to prove that they did it. Here I'm saying,

695
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 6: so that's what we hung our whole defense on.

696
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 5: Is that, you know, isn't that great? We're about the

697
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 5: laws sometimes what I mean, it could be a blessing

698
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 5: our curse. But you know what, for you, it was

699
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:21,479
Speaker 5: the blessing.

700
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 6: So after three years, let everybody go except one guy.

701
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,479
Speaker 6: He got probation for he was the one that had

702
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 6: the electric in his name because I haven't anything enough.

703
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 6: I was just happened to be there, yea, even though

704
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 6: I ran. So the guy who uh who had the

705
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 6: electric in his amount of stuff, he got two years probation.

706
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 6: And the crazy thing is that the crime read is

707
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,719
Speaker 6: this manufacturing anything other than pcpop. So I'm like, you're

708
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 6: fucking kidding me, dude. I mean, I'm old. I'm fort

00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 6: kid that was you know that that was trimminal? Was it?

713
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 6: When somebody reads that for a.

714
00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 5: Job, I can't have that on my record.

715
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, but but you go to uh, you know, to

716
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 6: go get a job, they're gonna see that the guy's

717
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 6: manufacturing anything. They didn't think he's been trying to pc

718
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 6: P or freaking or or math or crack or whatever

719
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 6: the something. I'm not thinking this guy's process in marijuana.

720
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 3: For me, And even then it was still like, oh fuck,

721
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 3: you're doing that.

722
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, So I was like tripping out. So it was

723
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 6: just it was it was, it was just crazy. Then

724
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 6: I forgot what my train of thought was going with

725
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 6: with that.

726
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 3: Did they change it though?

727
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 5: Did they change it?

728
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 6: No? They never, They fucking never did. And I was

729
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 6: so upset because you know that's still in there. So anyway, so, oh,

730
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 6: now I know where I was going with that. After

731

789
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 6: wasn't going to cost so, you know, I think I

Speaker 6: hundred bucks everything included, you know, come in for for

792

00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 6: so this thing took off that it's just like unexpected.

933
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 6: There give me this controller, and this controller goes, hey, man,

934
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 6: these things don't work. You gotta do this to this.

935
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 6: Maybe in the next model. Maybe in the next model

936
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 6: you can improve. He goes, next model, we can fix that.

937
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 6: What do you mean you can fix that? Go to

938
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 6: the controller, pull out the micro chip, stick it in

939
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 6: your computer, and then two hours later, off freaking I'll

940
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,720
Speaker 6: redo your software. Like you're kidding me. This is fucking great,

941
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 6: this is awesome. So I started giving feedback as an

942
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 6: actual grower. This needs to be changed, that needs to

943
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 6: be changed. They see if we can do this, well,

944
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 6: I remember, it's because.

945
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:01,919

984
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 6: am I am one of the product developers now for

985
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 6: troll Master. You know, one of the guys that I

986
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 6: pitched them on a lot of stuff. You know, I

987
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 6: see including this building, this, this, this facility that we built,

988
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 6: this this commercial facility. I see a lot of voids

989
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 6: in the in the industry. So we developed on new products.

990
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 6: Then they're gonna be they're gonna be showing that there's

991
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 6: a new m J Bass every year. We just come

992
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 6: up with new products. Nice. When you're on top two,

993
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 6: people always try to knock you off, you know. So

994
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 6: there's I know, there's a lot other controller companies that

995
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 6: are trying to bring their price down to match strow Master.

996
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 6: You can't beat troe Master for the price point. There's

997
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 6: no fuck away. And they're trying like hell, so then

998
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 6: we'll the only way to stay on top is by

999
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 6: innovative and making new products and you know, thinking outside

1000
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 6: the box and expanding your your your your fingers out

1001
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 6: there and see what else can you develop so and

1002
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 6: then make it all work seamlessly withatrol Master controllers. That's

1003
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 6: the key, which right now there's no control there's no lighting.

1004
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 6: The light company that works seamlessly with the controllers like

1005
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 6: pro Master or Lights or led Lights or probably the

1006
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 6: best in the industry, even not want to put best

1007
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 6: in the industry, just put the control ability. Everybody everybody

1008
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 6: uses to sign the same diary mats by the controllability

1009
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 6: is insane. The background of the the other partner, engineer

1010
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 6: control Master, he used to work with Centinel back in

1011
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 6: the day. That was part of out of pilot team.

1012
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 6: That's part of the tiping tem and then they went

1013
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 6: on their own to do their own brand and then

1014
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 6: you work out so well, I mean we had to

1015
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 6: restructure plan. So they had their own history too, you know,

00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 6: Oh, we're gonna go back. There was there was a

1046
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 6: sprain back in the day that was called Crypto, the

1047
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 6: original crypto.

1048
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 5: And then.

1049
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:37,919
Speaker 6: We remember as far as back as nineteen eighty five

1050
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 6: eighty six, and that's almost before I even smoked me.

1051
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,919
Speaker 6: I sold we I didn't smoke me back then, eighty

1052
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 6: five eighty six. I used to make fun of my

1053
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 6: best friendly used to smoke. He used to go buy

1054
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 6: this weed from the surfer long, long, long haired dude,

1055
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 6: go Taco Joe. It's called Crypto and it was like

1056
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 6: super fluffy, like hard fluffy green, if that makes any sense,

1057
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,879
Speaker 6: but like solid, but it looked like styrofoam, barely any

1058
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:03,359
Speaker 6: red hairs.

1059
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 4: And it was called Crypto crypto and before the Crypto,

1060
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 4: Grave of cryptocurrency.

1061
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 6: So so then Crypto was obviously this this this thing.

1062
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 6: And then and then other weeds came out. I mean

1063
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 6: there was ty stick, There was a skunk then that

1064
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 6: was a little butter of course to stink everything. But

1065
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 6: then other there was there was a lot of cubans

1066
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 6: that started growing weed in my uh started growing weed,

1067
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,359
Speaker 6: you know, all kinds of different strains. The Hasius came out.

1068
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,800
Speaker 6: There was unreal hasies that came out of there. And

1069
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 6: then the humans started calling everything creepy, crippy. Everything was

1070
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,320
Speaker 6: crippy from that point, you know, you know, our crypto

1071
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 6: was k R you know, like like Superman crypto. But

1072
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 6: every everything came to crippy, crippy, culpy. If it has seedless,

1073
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 6: it was crippy, and it was creepy to them because

1074
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 6: that's whatever seedless there they used to dealer, used to

1075
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 6: used to deal with. But that we's probably the best

1076
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 6: wead that that I think that I remember that we

1077
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 6: ever had. And that then there came the Orange Crush.

1078
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,399
Speaker 6: And after the Orange Crush, I met this even guy

1079
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 6: that had this this this string called Minu Mango, so

1080
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 6: it's called it was called mango, and then it came

1081
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 6: the nickname was Miami Manga because that's it was just

1082
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 6: all over Miami. Everybody grew and we liked it. It

1083
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 6: was a it was a yielder. So we grew that

1084
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,239

00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 2: Question number two of the high five, what is your

1263
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:01,920

Speaker 5: I am, I am.

1267
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,360
Speaker 6: You know the mango's guy that he's got a fruity flavor.

1268
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 6: Some people will say jack, some people say has no

1269
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 6: jack in it something. You know, it's just it's got

1270
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:17,800
Speaker 6: the mango tones. I like the fruits, you know, fruits,

1271
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 6: but I'll smoke whatever something. It's just good, you know,

1272
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:21,800
Speaker 6: in the decent. Yeah, yeah, and it expands, you know,

1273
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 6: And I'm more about the flavor instead of just getting high.

1274
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 6: So you get through high now when you're older. Yeah,

1275
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 6: it's a little paranoid, like too out of body experience

1276
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:31,239
Speaker 6: is not the same lights it used to be.

1277
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 5: I think you should shirt grow in a flavor called

1278
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:42,359
Speaker 5: BOTHA got them. That'd be a good one, right there?

00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:03,880

1283
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 6: it's hard to pinpoint which one. I don't know. Man,

1284
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 6: a cruise ship walking through the hallway, I don't know.

1285
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 4: That's stuper crazy because you have nowhere else to go

1286
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 4: and figure the hall way, I guess that's a good one.

1287
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:19,640

1288
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:20,800
Speaker 3: in the federal is crazy.

1289

Speaker 5: It's crazier than you really think about it.

1290
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,280
Speaker 6: Like you know, so probably going through the through the halls,

1291
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 6: just like care, you know, drunk or whatever, coming back

1292
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 6: from the little casino. Not that I embired it a

1293
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 6: little little bit, just burning, burning in the hallway, just

1294
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,040
