133
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 4: was in the music business growing up, so I've just

134
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:17,799
Speaker 4: kind of always been around creativity. My mom started taking

135
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 4: us to drawing lessons when I was like six, I think,

136
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 4: so it's always just been a thing that.

137
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: I liked drawing lessons. That's like a class, like an

138
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 2: art class. Yeah.

139
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,479

141
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 4: it was across the street from my dad's work, so

142
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 4: that worked out pretty well. He worked for Narras at

143
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 4: the time. And Yeah, they just, like, you know, teach

00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 4: you how to draw dragons and how to make watercolor

145
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,239
Speaker 4: abstraction and you know, like rar shot tests and stuff.

146
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,039

147
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 2: box a little bit more too.

148
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,320

149
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 4: in problem solving, And honestly, I think most of the

150
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 4: successful people I know are in any industry are creative

151
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 4: at heart, so that really helps.

152
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, And then when I was looking at your paintings, dude,

153
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,920

Speaker 2: What was that? Where do I can't even find it anymore?

164
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 2: Oh my god? The Mark Miller Gallery. Dude, did you

00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 5: Is this?

167
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: You?

168
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 4: Yes? That was actually in an exhibition I was a

169
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 4: part of. It's called the Gallery Tally Project years ago,

170
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 4: years ago, and it was basically like five hundred or

171
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 4: more artists or art professionals in La well actually all

172
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 4: over the world, I guess, band together to use data

173
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 4: from the galleries all over the world to create interesting

174
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 4: posters or poster images that reflected the inequity in the

175
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 4: art world between men and women. So I chose to

176
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 4: cover a vintage photograph in Dix and that that worked

177
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:22,440

Speaker 3: cup like dude, it was just so Like I said,

202
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 3: I went down this whole rabbit hole with you, the person,

203
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 3: the girl laying down so vulnerable, like I just was

205
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: And then the eagle the banana at the end.

206
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 3: This is not a banana. What does that mean to you?

207
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 3: That's the one that made me because I was looking

208
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 3: at that going.

209
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 4: Huh, well, it's a reference of an art historical piece.

210
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 4: This is not a pipe. To see a spottle peep.

211
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 4: You've probably seen it on like tote bags or posters

212
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 4: in college dorms. But I think it was Renee m

213
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 4: Greet and it was a very famous painting back in

214
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 4: the day. Because a painting of an image is not

215
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 4: is not an actual thing. It's just it's just image.

216
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 4: So it's not a banana. It's a drawing of banana.

217
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 4: It was not a pipe. It was a paint.

218
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,440

00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 3: into you with your such eclectic background, and you know,

241
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 3: I want to find out what your dad did in

242
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 3: the music industry as well.

243
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 2: But you know, the artistic background.

244
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 3: You have is so creative in this and that it's like,

245
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 3: how did you find Zen or did Zen find you?

246
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 4: Yes? Zen definitely found me.

247
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 2: Okay.

248
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 4: Our founder was my publisher at Culture magazine.

249
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 2: So no way. So you guys were okay.

250
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 4: Jeremy Zachary was the publisher for Culture Maga, and we

251
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 4: worked together for years, for four four or five years

252
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 4: at the tail end of Culture's legacy, and we really clicked.

253
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 4: We worked really well together. And so after I moved

254
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 4: on to teach our history at colleges and he moved

255
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 4: on to Zen Cannabis, he hounded me and he's like, dude,

256
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 4: we have to work together again. I'm like, let's do it.

257
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 4: So that worked out pretty well because you know, part

258
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 4: time work is easy to do remotely, and I had children,

259
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 4: so that was helpful.

260
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: How many kids do you have? I have two old

261
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,360

289
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: Well, congratulations on having him to be that old.

290
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,599
Speaker 3: And I'm happy Zen found you and you guys reconnected

291
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 3: with that because that makes it an awesome story because

292
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 3: this company has become so big. Where did it start,

293
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 3: as you when you came aboard where they already what

294
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 3: was the first state, because you guys are in multiple

295
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 3: states already.

296
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, we I think California was our first date. We

297
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 4: were all California natives in the company, so it was

298
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 4: pretty easy to just start locally. And then Jeremy is

299
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 4: a powerhouse, our our CEO. He is NonStop. He literally

300
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 4: never slows down, and I have no idea how he

301
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 4: does it, but he just started gravitating to new markets

302
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 4: and then he just took off to Europe and now

303
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 4: we're in Europe, and then it's just kind of taken

304
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 4: off like wildfire. And it's fantastic because the products get

305
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 4: better and better as we get older and older in

306
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 4: the in the market. And I'm very proud to be

307
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 4: a part of Zen Canvas.

308
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,160

00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 4: Well, we're not, We're not technically sending anything to Europe,

312
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 4: right we have everything is locally manufactured, and in Europe

313
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 4: we are CBD only, Okay, so we're not We're not

00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 4: thc like in some of the markets in the United States.

315
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 4: But the CBD is fantastic, high quality, and we have

316
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 4: a great team that's local out there in the EU

317
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 4: and they manage everything there. So it's kind of like

318
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 4: a little machine that just keeps.

319
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: I didn't realize that Zen was international. Geez, you guys

320
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 2: are a monster company.

321
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 3: Let's get into this because as I did my research

322
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 3: on your company, one thing that I noticed that you

323
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 3: guys have and that are really strong with was it

324
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 3: the gummies, right, Okay? And what I really liked about

325
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 3: the gummies that I noticed that stood out was some

326
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 3: of the low calorie, gluten and fat free that you

327
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 3: guys doing. Talk about some of those and why you

328
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 3: guys chose to do that, and that's what stood out

329
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 3: as you know, something that I was like, hmm, what

330
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 3: do they have?

331
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 2: Ah, that's encouraging.

332
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, the gummies are delicious. They're a big, big hit.

333
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 4: They were our number one first kind of big project,

334
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 4: and they're delicious, and you know, you want to eat

335
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 4: a lot of gummies, but you don't really want to

336
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 4: feel like you just ate a ton of gummies because

337
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 4: it's sugar and it's calories, and you know, if you're

338
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 4: getting older, you need to watch your health. So we

339
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 4: decided to try to make it a little easier for

340
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 4: people who are more health conscious, especially in the California markets,

341
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 4: because that is a common factor in the decision making

342
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 4: process of consumers, So we offer lower calorie ones, higher

343
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 4: concentrated ones, and there are small ones that are like

344
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 4: little tiny squares, but they're also like one hundred milligrams,

345
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 4: so you can break them all into eighty bitty pieces

346
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 4: and take just a smidge and you're right where you

347
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 4: want to be and you don't have to have the

348
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 4: added calories and all of that. We also have the

349
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 4: same kind of thing in the chocolates we have in

350
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 4: the California market. We have the sugar free chocolate, the

351
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 4: regular milk chocolate, and then the plant based the beacon chocolate,

352
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 4: which is delicious.

353
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 2: Which market kills it best for you, guys?

354
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 4: I mean, California is our bread and butter, but every

355
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 4: market does pretty well. Oklahomas is surprisingly good, really, Zuri

356
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 4: and Michigan and yeah.

357
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 2: As Massachusetts.

358
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 4: In Massachusetts is fantastic. I mean it's we don't have

359
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 4: as many products in those markets as we do in California.

360
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 4: So it's easy to see that the California market is.

361
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 3: Right because the teachers are coming soon, drinks are coming soon.

362
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 2: There.

363
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 3: You guys got gummies and chocolates. One thing I noticed

364
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 3: as well, and educate me on this one. Why does

365
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 3: missill already get bison. Is it bison the weed that

366
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 3: that I noticed that Missouri was getting.

367
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 4: It's a company. The company is Bison that that helps

368
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 4: us manufacture our products there.

369
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 3: Oh so that's just because I was looking at the

370
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 3: site going okay, so that's just another company that's only

371
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 3: in that area that you guys are working with, because

372
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 3: it took me to another flower shop and I thought

373
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 3: that was one of your guys's side companies in that

374
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 3: state as well. But it has nothing to do with

375
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 3: your guys company, just somebody you guys are working with there. Yes,

376
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 3: do you guys are monsters? I mean so many different

377
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 3: drinks and all that. Like as I say that, as

378
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 3: I'm in the region that we're just speaking of, I mean,

379
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 3: I look at these drinks as well, and I think, well,

380
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 3: let me go back to the gummies before I go

381
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 3: onto the drinks, because as I look at the gummies

382
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 3: and I'm thinking of the flavors, going, oh my god,

383
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 3: that watermelon made me just my mouth was watering as

384
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 3: I was looking at it.

00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 3: has everywhere around here where you can find this stuff that.

396
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 3: Like I said, I was looking everywhere, going wow, I

397
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 3: definitely wanted to try some of your guys's edibles. But

398
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 3: then I was looking at your drinks going The thing

399
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 3: I like about your drinks is that they're the small

400
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 3: little you know, shot style shot glasses or whatever you

401
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 3: want to call the drinks. The five Star energy drinks

402
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 3: style will look alike size which is not too huge

403
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 3: and it's fifty milligrams in there, or if you want

404
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 3: to just you know, take little SIPs and steal microdose

405
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 3: that you're not sipping so much. I feel like that's

406
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 3: the perfect size and the perfect amount for somebody to

407
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 3: microdose a little drink.

408
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 4: Like, I really like that these things are so fast

409
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 4: acting too. It's pretty amazing. I've never had an edible

410
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 4: that was so fast acting before. And this like nano technology,

411
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 4: infusing special kinds of I don't even know the science

412
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 4: behind it, but it is quick. It's like, you know,

413
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 4: we're used to growing up with edibles that you know,

414
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 4: take two hours to kick in or something, and these take,

415
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 4: you know, fifteen twenty minutes. It's awesome.

416
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, And like you said, these candies with the milk chocolate,

417
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 3: I mean, I personally am a milk chocolate fan. I

418
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 3: go milk chocolate, not the dark chocolate. And for you

419
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 3: to have the sugar free it makes me want to

420
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 3: try it. And then of course it makes me smile

421
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 3: and go, oh, they care.

422
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 2: For Nicks because Nix is vegan. I've been that's vegan Nicks.

423
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 2: They have plant next. Come here, look look at this.

424
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 3: It makes me think of people I work with, because

425
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 3: this young lady here, Nix is a vegan, and every

426
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 3: time we try to offer her food and everything, she's

427
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 3: I can't.

428
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 2: I can't. Why cause I read it. I bet I

429
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 2: got I like that.

430
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 4: Hey I'm vegan too, I get it.

431
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 3: She said, Hey, I'm vegan too. So my point is

432
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 3: when I seen that, I got happy for the weirdo.

433
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 3: I mean you guys, not the weird exactly right, but

434
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 3: you know, and it's it's just good. It's just a

435
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 3: health concience thing that I love that Zen Cannabis is doing.

436
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 3: And for you guys to be such a monstrous company,

437
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 3: it's it's a nice at its touch.

438
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 2: So you know, whudos to you.

439
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 3: And uh talk about this damn ridiculous chocolate bar that

440
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 3: you guys did that I seen, I mean, what did

441
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 3: I see?

442
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 2: What are some of the stats on this stupid thing?

443
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 3: Uhounds infused chocolate bar you guys made with a hunt

444
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 3: pounds of cannabis.

445
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 4: The Big Zen Yeah, oh yeah, well was the car?

446
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 2: Like how high were you guys in marketing to go?

447
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 2: I have a great.

448
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 4: Idea, you know, it was such a fun project to

449
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 4: be a part of. Honestly, we made like three world

450
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 4: records that probably will never be recognized because it has

451
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 4: to do with cannabis, but it's it was awesome. It

452
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 4: was like the world's largest chocolate bar also the world's

453
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 4: most like highest infusion chocolate bar. It was no one

454
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 4: bought it and no one ate it in its original

455
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 4: gigantic state, so we did have to recycle the chocolate

456
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 4: and use them into our smaller bars, but it was

457
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 4: super cool to see it and to like know it

458
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 4: was happening. It was very fun a big four to

459
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 4: twenty fest.

460
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 3: Well, and not only is that just props to Zen

461
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 3: the brands, because you guys, just to give you a

462
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 3: paint the picture which I loved reading this for feet

463
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 3: and it used twelve forty gallon bats of milk chocolate.

464
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 5: Over one hundred pounds of cannabis flour also made it

465
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 5: into the mix. The final bar weighed in at go

466
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 5: figure four hundred and twenty pounds.

467
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 2: That's so dope that that happened that way. Did you

468
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 2: guys plan that?

469
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 4: Or was that?

470
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,199
