118
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: what mad you? More of your life too? Because that's

119
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: Danny's of our partner in that show is Danny Diamond,

120
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: and uh he came up with the name, you know, uh,

121
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: and it was basically the way he describes it as

122
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: Hall Flowers was like my dream and he made it happen.

123
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: And um, you know, we were talking about doing it

124
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: for years before we actually started it, but it came

125
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: from me. I did the punk label, and I met

126
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: a guy named Aaron Levant, and Aaron Levant owns a

127
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: company called Network Right Now, which is like a home

128
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: shopping network for like kids, like millennials or whatever. And

129
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: he owned a thing called complex Con if you know what,

130
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: this is the big event, and he started a trade

131
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: show called Agenda. And I went to Agenda when I

132
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: was doing the label and I was bringing music to

133
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: the trade show, and that's when I learned like what

134
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: was going on in these trade shows. So we did

135
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: that for a couple of years. And then my partners

136
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: in the trade show. One of them was a friend

137
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: named Steve Aoki who was a very famous DJ now,

138
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: but this is before he was that he was. He

139
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: started it like a punk rock record label guy like

140
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: I did. And we started a trade show together and

141
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: another guy um that also went on to do music,

142
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: and I was getting out of music. They wanted to

143
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: get into it. So we did this little show for

144
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: two years called United, and it was you know the

145
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: idea of bringing a couple hundred brands together whole you know,

146
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: wholesale kind of show for clothing and fashion. It was

147
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: nef and Skull Candy and Crew and these kind of brands.

148
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: And it was in Vegas and New York. And I

149
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: learned it from Aaron who had a really much better

150
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: trade show and Danny who had even a you know,

151
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: better trade show than than all of us. And when

152
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: I got into cannabis ten years ago, it was with

153
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: g Pen, the vaporizer, you know. And uh yeah, So

154
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: Chris is a dear friend and um, and we would

155
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: bring a g Pen to the agenda shows and we'd

156
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: have like a weed booth at the trade shows, and

157
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: we kept talking about how we'd itself needed a wholesale

158
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: trade show that was cool. You know, like you go

159
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: to m J Biscon. There's no m as Adam Mill

160
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: would say, there's no m and m J Biscon. So

161
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: there's no, there's no, there's none. Yeah. So with us,

162
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: Hall of Flowers was the opposite. You needed to smoke

163
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: weed with your friends. You need to be able to

164
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: get samples from the brands. I wanted brands to make

165
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: money and write orders. And Danny's the best in the

166
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: world at that. That's what he does. And um, you

167
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: know he after a couple of years of talking with

168
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: Aaron and meeting Danny we started Hall of Flowers will

169
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: be five years. Uh this the end of the year

170
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: in January, big five years since we started the show.

171
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: And how when it started, how many boosts? How small

172
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: was it to what it's out now? Um now it's

173
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: like five hundred brands, um and like of the buyers

174
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: in California for maybe more at this show, like, but

175
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: that was last show and then we started it was

176
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: maybe like I don't know if you know, a hundred

177
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: brands and not not even maybe maybe like I don't

178
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: know exactly, like I don't remember. It was such a blur,

179
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: but much less what a growth I mean now that

180
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: your event, in my opinion, in our opinion, we made

181
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: it a point to fucking a send our team out

182
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: there early to work the floor. Then we flew out

183
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: to make sure that we were in and out and

184
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,719
Speaker 1: we wanted to touch the event because you have, in

185
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: our opinion, one of those events that needs to be

186
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: touched if you're in the cannabis game. It's the best

187
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: of that in the cannabis I mean. And honestly, we

188
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: had a great time. I had a great time out

189
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: there outside. It's just that's the whole point is that

190
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: it needs to be that, you know, like we had

191
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: a lot of opportunities to do them at other venues.

192
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: And you know Emerald Cup or Dear Friends and Tim

193
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: Blake and you know Cat and those people, they do

194
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: Emerald Cup up at that venue. So we've gone to

195
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: that venue for years to go to the Emerald Cup,

196
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: and um, that's where we figured out, you know, where

197
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: to where to do it. But you know, we saw

198
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: the beauty when we were there before with the trees

199
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: and the NAPA and that kind of thing. You make

200
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: it kind of a destination. But Emerald Cup proved that

201
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: you could do a cool event there. You know, it's

202
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: it's a good vie. I think it's a great vibe

203
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: right there. I mean, and and for those who always

204
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: want to go, I mean, it's it's not it is

205
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: open to the public, right No, I don't even know,

206
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: because I'm like, we're not the public to be so

207
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,719
Speaker 1: strictly B two be only so it's buyers. And then

208
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: we open up a very small amount of tickets that

209
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: are really expensive to kind of price out a normal

210
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 1: person just for showing up. Sorry to show my privilege

211
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: out there, folks, because I have the media ticket. I

212
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 1: don't even know how it is. They didn't even like

213
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: my bad exactly, like yeah, yeah, yeah, Danny is tight

214
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: with the media passage. Oh yeah, your boys, you know

227
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: that you do, you guys, because the intro is so insane,

228
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: Like I feel like like the first I know it's

229
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: going on, like we're the Jimmy Kimmel of cannabis. Dog

230
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. Yeah, And that's why that's why

231
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: it was what we were trying to tell your people. There.

232
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: Here's here's the funny thing. We've been trying to show

233
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: other companies like you why this is so important to

234
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: have at your venue. Because what we bring is the

235
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel Hollywood asks to cannabis. Right, So that's what

236
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: we know, and we know we're bring it not to

237
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: hurt our elbows, but like you know, this is what

238
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: we bring, just like what you bring. You brought that.

239
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: This is what the show isn't about us, it's not,

240
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: but my point, it is about you and adding to

241
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: your advent. We'd love to do stuff with you guys there. Yeah,

242
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: Danny is super strict about stuff. I was starred you

243
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: talking to forget Joe. I think are Blue earlier about

244
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: and no take another hit by the way, Yeah Freddy,

245
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if I mentioned to you Blue or Freddy,

246
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: but they look like Danny's just no exactly they did up.

247
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: Yeah that that Blue looks just like him. Yeah, anyway exactly.

248
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's strict, any strict, But that's why the

249
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: show is super successful. You bring this in though I

250
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: don't know if you, I don't know this. This is

251
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: wild and I feel like wrestler is going to jump

252
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: out into the thing and good they're not you know

253
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: what really happens. They get you get uh, you get

254
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: companies wanting to express what they do, and they actually

255
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: get their information out on the platform and in a

256
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: bigger platform than anybody else can offer, you know, because

257
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: no one else can really deliver that. And that's it's

258
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: so important for us to to all of us scale

259
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: into this market as as it kind of continues to

260
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: go through this hoops. Like we were talking off air,

261
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 1: you know, it's like we're in the middle of um,

262
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: you know, an airplane, and we're building in the middle

263
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: of air. And that's why I look at you know,

264
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: what is Green Street and Hall of Flowers? Did you

265
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: guys partner or is that just something that you started

266
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: with developed? And so basically we started Green Street ten

267
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: years ago and we were doing g Pen you know

268
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: anything you've kind of seen on the marketing side. Chris

269
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: the owner and myself did all of it. So all

270
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: the collaborations in through the Snoop Dogg and all this

271
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, and we worked with the brand for forever.

272
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: But I was doing Beats by Dre Disney, DreamWorks, you know,

273
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: Interscope Universal as a whole company, um, and just doing

274
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: kind of like black Ops art fashion music projects for

275
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: them and we signed g PEN and um, we treated

276
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: them like Beats by Dre like you know them, like

277
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: they were like a real brand. And we made a

278
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: style guide and a strategy. Yeah. I mean my partner

279
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: Josh that we started Green Street with, was introduced the

280
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: two founders of g PEN. H. Yeah, exactly. Josh's I

281
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: think Josh usually does this stuff. That's why you don't

00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: know me. So you know Josh H. Josh is my lawyer, partner.

283

295
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: you said you're not the guy, your partners, the other

296
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: one that comes and does all these things, and you

297
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: were you were, So we were doing Jeepen. We crushed

298
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: it for them. Their attorney I worked with on the

299
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: compliance of the ads, so unlike Beats or Disney or

300
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: dream Works, kind of send the work in and and

301
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: a lawyer doesn't usually come back to us and say

302
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna change this or and whatever. Right, So the

303
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: Jeepen that was happening, like every ad we did at

304
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: every idea, every event, every whatever, we had to make

305
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: sure it was compliant, right. And Josh and I developed

306
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: a great relationship, and he came and said, we should

307
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: start an agency called Green Street. It should be just

308
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: dedicated to cannabis. Should be what you're doing for these

309
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: big brands. But I know, like twenty of their weed

310
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: brands that are like, how is Jepen doing this? You know,

311
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: like we want to you know, we want help too.

312
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: So after a few months of me saying no, I

313
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: finally said, let's do it, you know, and it really

314
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: took the feeling I got. I've talked about the punk

315
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: label and the clothing stuff that the feeling I got

316
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: from like the bands I worked with and I did

317
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: like the first Jimmy World and at the Drive in

318
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: the Hives, like I did their first records here, and

319
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: the feeling I got for Oor Say Anything or our

320
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: American rejects, and the same thing I got from like

321
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: Maximum Say Anything or from Jim from Jimmy World is

322
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: the feeling I got from these Weed men and women

323
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: that they're gonna fucking be huge and crush it and

324
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: like I could do like a record label for weed

325
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: kind of thing. So that's what the agency is to me.

326
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: But I hate clients, so we started just doing like

327
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: I don't right now, we don't even have We have

328
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: like one client that I can't say their name or whatever, probably,

329
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: but we like barely have clients because I'm just so

330
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: sick of them hiring me who's an expert in the space,

331
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: and then they have like explained to different people in

332
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: the organization like why they should be even doing a

333
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: lot of the stuff, and um, you know, I just

334
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: don't want to waste my time anymore. You know, there's

335
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: been too many projects, too many unpaid clients and all

336
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: this stuff. And you know I had done the company

337
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: for five years with Josh just as an ad agency. Um,

338
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: and I met and I met Gary um before that,

339
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: when I was doing the corporate stuff, he was not

340
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: as popping as he is now, of course. But five

341
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: years ago we reconnected and I showed Gary that we

342
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: were doing the ad agency stuff, but that the real

343
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: vision was to build i P. And in an agency world,

344
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: i P is what makes or break shoot, Like if

345
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: you're that's if you're an ad agency, you're only strategy

346
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: is to like have i P that you own that

347
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: you can sell because the clients really suck anyways, you know.

348
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: So he loved the idea of the festival and the

349
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: trade show and the building and the agency and kind

350
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: of all working together the celebrities that we have, what

351
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: we work with and uh and Gary basically wanted to

352
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: buy half of the company. So we're five years in,

353
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: we're just doing like logos and style guides and basic

354
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: advertising agency stuff. Again, we're doing amazing things, amazing work,

355
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: award winning work, right, but like it was just like

356
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: what I call boring ad agency stuff, right, like very safe,

357
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: like very safe. Yeah, well in a field where you

358
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: kind of have to be, you know, and you're gonna

359
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: want to be. Don't go still federal, you're playing the

360
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: cards right in my opinion, So it's not like your

361
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: pussy are so exactly. And then then so I'm doing

362
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: the thing right. And then yet there's no south By

363
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: Southwest for cannabis. There's no Coachella for cannabis. There's no

364
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: Rolling Stone for cannabis. You guys maybe are are that

365
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: Maybe you guys are NPR for cannabis whatever, Jimmy Kimmel

366
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: for cannabis. You know. But yeah, like your ESPN game

00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: damp there go, yeah, Barstool Sports or whatever, right, like,

368
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: so you know, there's that doesn't exist yet. There's not

369
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: really major labels. Maybe a little bit of the you know,

370
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: the fucking murders that mergers that are happening now, but

371
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: it's still really anyone's game. You know. We asked Gary

372
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,239
Speaker 1: what he thought in the cannabis, like what inning it was,

373
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: and Gary's answer was, we haven't even taken a shower yet,

374
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: we haven't put our socks on yet. You know, it's

375
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: so so early that like he's looking at this for

00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: like the thirty year plan, so for him to meet

00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: me and then he really likes me, which is weird.

Speaker 1: true I'll stopped talking about for this. It was like

414
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: seeing a yetti where he was. It was so mind

415
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: blowing how he was negotiating on my behalf that I

416
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: started recording it like I couldn't believe what I was seeing,

417
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: like lockness, monster Yetti. I just was like and then

Speaker 1: he saw halfway and he's like what do you He's

419
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: like pointing to me, like what are you doing? And

420
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, uh, And it was like I was seeing

421
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 1: a UFO or something. My body had to I couldn't

422
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: take it in what was going on, and I needed

423
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: a document it so I could like watch it back

424
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: again to like understand it. That's how much it's twenty

425
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: levels had and has this taken the business? What you've

426
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: gone now since he's come aboard. Of course, that's what

427
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: we want to do, right, of course, So now we

428
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: have to be good though, right, I still have to

429
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: be the best. What do you already have done that

430
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,719
Speaker 1: to earn respect? You know you've earned it. And by

431
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: the way, I just got to tell you, and I blew,

432
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: maybe you feel the same way. How he was describing

433
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: his feeling is how I feel. We feel I feel,

434
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: especially because I come from the radio world, right, so

435
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: I'm just surprised we never cross pass. You were more

436
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: than K rock alternative side, even like the indie stuff. Yeah,

437
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: and exactly That's why I said in that right went

438
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: that right, rather than you were doing the main stuff,

439
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: you're doing that where I was power when O six

440
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: kiss that fam fucking wild. You know, I was doing

441
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: all the main stream stuff. So I'm surprised. We never

442
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 1: listen to that's the crazy thing. I just listened to

443
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: how about this? Hey that was me. That's amazing. How

444
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 1: I get it now? And I've seen you guys obviously

445
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: at all the events for years always Yeah, I have

446
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: photos from years ago and set's always been amazing. But

447
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: I didn't know it was like, well, we just came

448
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 1: to this new facility. At my point is that what

449
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: you're doing is what we are doing as well. We

450
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: are pushing and walking in that same path of trying

451
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: to elevate this cannabis game to that level of that professionalism.

452
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: As he was performing on stage and going on tour

453
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: with people, as I was on stage on the biggest companies,

454
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: like we've done it, We've done these things, so we

455
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: want to take this level to that level that we've

456
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: performed at in the cannabis space. And it's so dope

457
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,080

00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: so fucking cold and winner so you only get to

609
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: hang out in the summer. And then it's you know,

610
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: I think you I think no, well, I think you

611
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: were making fun of people a lot because you need

612
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: to use that energy to stay warm. That's maybe better. Okay, yeah,

613
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: that's what I feel happens there. It's very sarcasticlave, very sarcastic.

614
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: So I'm wondering where the love though gets too, because

615
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: I've heard you moved out here for the record label,

616
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: you're doing this indie thing and then you meet this

617
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: one buddy. This is where does this love though of lit?

618
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: And I heard the I want to do this evance.

619
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: I want to become this this thing that you created.

620
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: I heard that, But how did the cannabis sneak in?

621
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:17,959
Speaker 1: Because I feel like I just it just sneaked in

622
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: in the conversation. Where did that come from? Because that's

623
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: you have a big event. Yeah, yeah, the best. Yeah,

Speaker 1: you can And I said you can't. I was like,

629
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: you can't because you need to have a license. Her

630
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: answer was okay, I'll start working on that. Yes, it wasn't.

631
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: It was insane. When is your mom? And I want

636
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: thirty and uh, it's like, you know, it's like memes

637
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: and wheat jokes. I mean, she's doing six plants in Massachusetts.

638
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: You can have six plants there, So she's doing that.

639
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: She's been smoking. It's a kid forever. Yeah, so that's

640
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: so it comes from that, right, But but then I

641
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: was like a punk, right, so I rebelled against it

642
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: a little bit. I didn't smoke weed till I was

643
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: twenty five. But as a kid, the first weed moment

644
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: memory is like I found weed seeds and like the

645
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: little cupboard thing, you know, a little flip up on

646
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: the and I took the weed seeds and I called

647
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: them peach seeds, peach tree seeds, and I gave them

648
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: to all the neighborhood kids and friends of mine, and

649
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: they obviously showed them to their parents and then they

650
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: were like, parents knew they were weed seeds, not peach

651
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: tree seeds. Big disappointment. Got in trouble. There's no Facebook

652
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: back then, so it didn't like go crazy. There was

653
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: just the guy with the red friends. Stay away from

654
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: that guy. So that's the first time I was like,

655
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: oh weed or whatever. And then my friend Liz Tempesta,

656
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: who I love so much, and she was like part

657
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: of our little scene. And and in the music scene

658
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: there was like a lot of straight edge hardcore bands.

659
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: So not that I ever put an next in my

660
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: hand or whatever, but all my roommates were straight edge.

661
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: A lot of the bands were straight edge. Some of them. Yeah,

662
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: did you know Matt money Smith? Mm? I don't think so.

663
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: Yeah I did. But I did a lot of big

664
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: like from that scene. I like did some of the

665
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: biggest bands ever to come out of it. And they record,

666
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: like put the records out or I built their tours

667
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: where I managed them or whatever combination with them. Yeah,

668
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: and and yeah and uh Travis from tech tech nine group,

669
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: Travis um from what is it uh uh text label

670
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: tech nine out of his label was Strange Music. Okay,

671
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with it. I did the label, I

672
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: sold the label. So so and again we were like

673
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: East Coast, you know, yeah, yeah, like you know, like

674
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: this is like I was in high school. Like when

675
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: I was in I started labeling us fifteen. You know,

676
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: I was booking shows and festivals okay in Massachusetts for

677
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: for since like I was literally fifteen to naturally Blood. Yeah,

678
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: just I mean doing events is part of the life

679
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: that we grew up that way to events, parties. I

680
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: was president captain lunch and I hate and I hate

681
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: events and parties, which is the craziest thing. Yeah. Well,

682
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: like I'm so uncomfortab when it came in here today,

683
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: I was so I was like, oh my god, Oh

684
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: my god. There's more than four people. You're like the

685
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: people working, you know, and yet like all I do

686
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: is events. I had four events last week, and you know,

687
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: it's crazy. What other events are you guys doing. So

688
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: we bought a building four years ago and we just

689
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: opened it about two or so months ago. I got

690
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: the one in Long Long Beach. No, it's in downtown

691
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Yeah, it's on Seventh and Hill Streets. So

692
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: our neighbors are like Whole Foods and shake Shack. And

693
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: I haven't been there yet. Downtown l A. I've been.

694
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: I've been in downtown l A one so I think

695
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: it was when previously I believe High Times was there.

696
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: That's on Wilshire Boulevard. So so we fucking this is

697
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: a very cool, awesome story. So we rented a We

698
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: had the weed stuff going with the corporate stuff right

699
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: so beats by Dre and at the same time we're

700
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: doing uh the Wheat and Jeepan and some other weed brands.

701
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: We break off. We go full weed solo only that's

702
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: all we're doing. It's just doing weeat stuff. We get

703
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: that building and Wilshire Boulevard, we have master lease of it,

704
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: so we have at one point five floors and the

705
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: entire building and we're renting it and sub leasing it

706
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: out to other brands. Guy that landlord, also scumbag, came

707
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: and shook us down for more money, the guy that

708
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: had that building, and he raised our rent a huge

709
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: amount in one day. But we had all these events

710
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: and we had other floors going on, and I just

711
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: told my complained to my friends. They're all in cannabis industry.

712
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: They all said, this is what happens to us. Fucking

713
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: landlords just comebacks, you know, they see weed stuff and we'ren't.

714
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 1: We're making logos at this point, We're not even doing

715
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: weed stuff. We're not sucking tacks there and they take

716
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: they took advantage. They raised our rent. He raised our

717
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,399
Speaker 1: rent and um probably to pocket it on his own

718
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: or whatever kind of thing. And I told that story

719
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: to a stranger at Soho House in Malibu and I

720
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: don't go there, but I went there with someone and

721
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: I was like my friends talking to someone that was

722
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: the member and I'm like, sitting there whatever. I start

723
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: talking to this person music Boston, like weed whatever. I

724
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: tell him what just happens. He says, bro, you should

725
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:50,439
Speaker 1: buy a building. I was like, whoa, I can't buy

726
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: a building. It's what do you mean. I'm confused and

727
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 1: I'm like no, it's like we have a big building,

728
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 1: you know, with a lot of brands. He goes, yeah,

729
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 1: you should just buy one. And I was like, well,

730
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: I can't buy a building because I did a punk

731
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 1: rock record label and I don't understand what's going on.

732
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: I can't even build. This is four years ago. And

733
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: then he says, if you can get people to sign

734
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: leases to the thing, we'll buy the building tomorrow and

735
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: you know, you fill it up and I'll I'll handle

736
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: the thing. And I thought it was it was so holice.

737
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,240
Speaker 1: So I thought it was full ship. It's cannabis investment,

738
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:19,879
Speaker 1: so I thought it was double full of ship. Three

739
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 1: months later, we bought this building. Shut the fuck up crazy.

740
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: We bought the start a new company. We bought it,

741
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: so Green Street owns like a big chunk of it.

742
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: Like that's how we do with Hall of Flowers and

743
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: the building stuff. I just find partners that do that

744
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 1: stuff right, Like I'm not. I can't. I could never

745
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: have done half Flowers without Danny, zero present chance. He's

746
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 1: the best in the world that that kind of building

747
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: out the production and stuff. I'm not going to try

748
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: to build a building, you know what I mean. So

749
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 1: I partner with people that did that, and I what

750
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: I do is I say, I bring the cannabis to

751
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: the party. Basically, that's like kind of my approach. I

752
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: like make sure that the community and culture is like, yeah,

753
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: that's what I can do. So but the building right

754
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 1: now is open and we have two events spaces and

755
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: we're doing you know, I did four events last week.

756
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: I had event last night, So we're doing I wanted

757
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: to do two events this year in the building. It's

758
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 1: my goal. Downtown l a downtown right in the heart

799
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 1: I needed an office and I needed to smoke a

800
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: joint at my desk while I was working in this

801
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: scumbag I met across, you know, at the building, the

805
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 1: you can smoke weed at your desks. So that was

806
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 1: like enough, you know. So now we built this crazy

807
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: complex and facility. But um, you know, it's it's all

810
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 1: on the fourth floor. Fourth floor is like a mini showroom.

811
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: You see, I'm walking through my head two three, so

Speaker 1: I did the fashion stuff we had. There's a showroom

814
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 1: and a trade show. Showroom would take like ten brands

00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: in at once and one buyer can come in and shop,

816

1024
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,479
Speaker 1: See exactly who he is. We go to question number

1025
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: five of the High five with Romo. If you could

1026
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: smoke cannabis with anyone dead or alive, who would it be?

1027
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 1: And why Picasso? Maybe nice? Aren't boy? I'm trying to think,

1028
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: I mean Bill Murray, but he's alive, so I don't

1029
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 1: want to use that one yet. I like that you

1030
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 1: talking like you're gonna go to the dead first, just

1031
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: because like you can't actually make that happen in real life.

1032
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 1: But I would say, yeah, Picasso, like and when he

1033
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: wasn't going crazy, maybe would be by the way, it's

1034
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,320
Speaker 1: just really make a painting out of it or you know,

1035
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 1: kind of thing, just trying to see what he was

1036
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 1: thinking and talking about? Did you ever think of be

1037
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 1: this big? He's I'm super interested in him because most

1038
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 1: artists die poor, right, I don't know if you know that,

1039
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 1: but most all the blue chips, and then you know,

1040
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 1: Picasso is one of the first. He was like, yeah,

1041
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 1: like the real like the real Masters, they were like,

1042
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: no one wants this ship, and then now they're sixty

1043
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 1: million dollars right because they're so good. They was like

1044
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 1: people didn't understand, and but Picasso was one of the

1045
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 1: few artists that was actually gigantic. He would be like

1046
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: a billionaire today if if he was alive now, um,

1047
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 1: you know, and very very few artists had like money

1048
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 1: and power, you know, to the point where he had

1049
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 1: like flee countries and stuff because if he were to

1050
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 1: vote on something, he changed the world literally, do you

1051
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 1: know what I mean? So that's awesome. You know, he

1052
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:27,280
Speaker 1: seems cool as he seems like a maybe a maniac,

1053
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: but he does. For sure, you need to have someone

1054
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: that wants to smoke a bunch of weed, not just

1055
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: like hit up thing and puffing like why are yeah?

1056
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: And then he stops talking like yeah, yes, you do

1057
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 1: trust me? That's fun. Is there somebody alive? Everyone were

1058
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 1: randomly now that you well, you know, we could do

1059
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 1: whatever we want to fuck it. Bill Murray for sure

1060
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 1: would be insane. Um. I mean, I like a lot

1061
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: of people, I don't know what's your favorite Bill Murray movie?

1062
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,919
Speaker 1: Though I was gonna go there, how about this? Ready

1063
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:59,800
Speaker 1: for this? What comes after? This? Time? Farts when you

1064
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 1: take another swing at it? Double forts when he's trying

1065
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 1: to hit the swing at the squirrels. That's a caddyshack

1066
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 1: line with him. It was that he was the janitor

1067
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 1: or not he was the yard keeper, the greenskeeper. Love

1068
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: that movie. Amazing dude, And as you said him, I

1069
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:19,919
Speaker 1: went to that movie. Yeah he's amazing. But the Ghostbusters

1070
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 1: another classic classic. He was so good. Atter was just

1071
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 1: that's what we grew up hypnotizing, you know what I mean,

1072
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 1: Like that rama, your beard is hypnotizing. You're a fun guy.

1073
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 1: I like you. I don't know what we're gonna be

1074
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 1: doing together, but there's a lot of things that Hey,

1075
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 1: we've been looking at you and your company not and

1076
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 1: for us army. We obviously didn't know it was you

1077
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 1: when you walked in. I didn't realize that's him. Oh

1078
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 1: my god, it him. My intro was real. That's what

1079
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 1: I really felt, rather than sugarcoating it. So yeah, I

1080
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 1: had it. I don't know if you google me even

1081
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 1: you don't really see many photos of me, which is great.

1082
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 1: And that My point is we like you, we want

1083
00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:59,919
Speaker 1: to grow with you. Is let's because you're doing every

1084
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 1: right to. We've been having these people that but that's

1085
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 1: why you guys been doing it. I know you're going

1086
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 1: to be around like that's even why I'm doing this now.

1087
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't even want to promote anything like

1088
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 1: seeing you guys around so much for years. You know again,

1089
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 1: I was the other day before you asked me. A

1090
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:16,840
Speaker 1: photo came up and it was like a memory. It

1091
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 1: just brings you one photo and it was a setup

1092
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 1: at cush Stock or one of those ones from years

1093
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 1: and years ago, and you still had the whole crazy

1094
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 1: set up going on, and it was just the set

1095
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 1: was empty. But I took a photo of it because

1096
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:29,399
Speaker 1: it was like probably the best thing that was there

1097
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 1: kind of thing at the time, you know't mean because

1098
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 1: you guys were doing this since then. And then m

1099
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:36,240
Speaker 1: J Biscon we had the Hall Flowers little mini section

1100
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:39,839
Speaker 1: across across from us. Yeah, thank you coming saying hi, asshole. Yeah,

1101
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 1: and there again it was oh look at me, Hey, guys,

1102
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 1: nice food. I'm not gonna go talk to him. They

1103
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:48,840
Speaker 1: don't know me. We we literally were like, oh, we

1104
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 1: wish we could talk to the guys who are doing this. Yeah,

1105
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: well yeah we stopped that like how times yeah and

1106
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 1: how and see how cool we are, asshole. But and

1107
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 1: it's like Joe's are hurt, but of course we like you,

1108
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: you would have brought like those brands over and stuff.

1109
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: It should have been Harpia. It would have been like

1110
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 1: it would have been you know, good for both. You

1111
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 1: know what part of it staff, we're not making that

1112
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 1: clear to everybody over they're big now, it's weird that

1113
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: you don't talk. That's why Hall of Flowers is so

1114
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 1: successful is because we we like do it from the

1115
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: exhibitor perspective, and we you know, build it to where

1116
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:21,799
Speaker 1: like the biggest brands and the smallest brands still kind

1117
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 1: of can compete with each other a little bit. You know,

1118
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 1: there's not really anyone that has like a crazy, crazy

1119
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 1: setup and you get to see the difference on what

1120
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 1: a big brand is even they're bigger booth and they're

1121
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 1: bigger like lights, camera action. But let's see the flower

1122
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:34,399
Speaker 1: and you can see the big company flower the little

1123
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 1: company flowers. That's the dopest part about it. That's true.

1124
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 1: There's actually cannabis at the cannabis you know what I mean? Yeah,

1125
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 1: where it's like it's all likes camera action. Sometimes when

1126
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 1: it's like what really come down? I think there's a

1127
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 1: place for both of them though right there, you know,

1128
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 1: I mean even the MJ thing, like absolutely, I don't

1129
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 1: feel like you know. I mean it's I just do

1130
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 1: it as a joke because Adam Illas said at one

1131
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 1: time to me, and it burns through my brains, you know.

1132
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:58,919
Speaker 1: And then he goes there and they're like, don't smoke weed,

1133
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 1: and like what the whole in the whole point, we're

1134
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 1: gonna rest you so wild and I get it legal

1135
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 1: because again back to the legal side of it, it's

1136
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,800
Speaker 1: like you have brothers, guys like, you know, preaching it,

1137
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 1: so you guys know about that stuff, but it's so weird,

1138
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:14,360
Speaker 1: like they're so scared of cannabis. We'll look at Champs.

1139
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 1: I mean, Champs walks through that same convention smokes all

1140
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 1: fucking day, So I mean they can let a little

1141
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:22,320
Speaker 1: bit go. But but I guess another corporate sponsor, they're

1142
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 1: not looking to have that tiny right Champs like has

1143
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 1: like the back little entrance thing. Whatever. What made you

1144
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 1: guys collab with that, because even when we were there,

1145
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:36,400
Speaker 1: so we've seen you guys vision Yeah, Danny, Danny you know,

1146
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 1: talks to them. I'm not sure, you know, he was like,

1147
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: we're going to do a thing in m J biscom.

1148
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 1: Basically at this point it's been five years that like

1149
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm only involved in like even like the bigger conversations

1150
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 1: like we're going to add a new city, I'll say,

1151
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 1: um soon and like, you know, Danny and I will

1152
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:53,840
Speaker 1: talk about like how we can roll it out and

1153
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 1: what it needs to kind of represent and these kind

1154
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 1: of things, but the team is just doing it. It's like,

1155
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 1: so it's like my dream. I'm just not used to

1156
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 1: I'm like a micro manager, small team person. So the

1157
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 1: fact that Danny Danny was like get out of the way,

1158
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 1: like let me do this, and I was like, okay,

1159
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 1: you know yeah, so yeah, but we got it going

1160
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: in the beginning, you know, that was like our whole thing.

1161
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 1: It's you know there, we're like you know, like we're

1162
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:15,759
Speaker 1: like they're every day you know. So, well, Rama, is

1163
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 1: there anything we forgot before we let you get on

1164
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 1: out of here man that you want to just bring

1165
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 1: up or mentioned? Um? No, I mean I think this

1166
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:24,600
Speaker 1: is awesome. I really appreciate the time. I think it's

1167
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,880
Speaker 1: super cool and inspiring. I don't want to ever have

1168
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 1: a podcast like studio or whatever, but like we should

1169
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 1: do this kind of time. Yeah, for sure, let we

1170
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 1: do it. Here are we moving over there? We've been

1171
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 1: looking to we've been there we have our downtown l

1172
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,239
Speaker 1: A you know, l A spot. Maybe it's like a

1173
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 1: takeover for you know, the night or a weekend or

1174
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 1: a week Well, not only that, it goes hand in

1175
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 1: hand because if we go there, we're capitalizing on the

1176
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: brands that are there, because then we're just pulling in

1177
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 1: the other brands. He comes to monster. Of course we

1178
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 1: can actually create a suing of it and just to

1179
00:55:57,160 --> 00:56:03,359
Speaker 1: create something new. Yeah, it is, Yeah, that's yeah. Yeah, yeah,

1180
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know this world at all, which

1181
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:08,319
Speaker 1: is I don't have that. Yeah, we're all learning. Hey,

1182
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 1: we're all really finding it out of myself myself. Yeah,

1183
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 1: for sure. I describe it as like this is what's

1184
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 1: going on. I you know, you ever see on TV

1185
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:20,960
Speaker 1: when like the volcano explodes and the fucking lava's flying

1186
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:22,919
Speaker 1: down the wall, you know, and it's going really fast

1187
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:24,839
Speaker 1: because it's like on the steep and then it hits

1188
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 1: the ground, you know, and it's like slowly going. Now.

1189
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:29,319
Speaker 1: It's like and if you if you have like legs,

1190
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:31,239
Speaker 1: you can avoid for sure the lava, you know what

1191
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 1: I mean, Like, you know, and like, but there's a

1192
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 1: car that's there, and the car just just like just

1193
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 1: fully desmoblished. That's my life. Every day. Every day I

1194
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 1: wake up and I'm like my toes are on fire

1195
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 1: because the lava is so close to them, and I'm

1196
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: like running away from the lava every second, so less

1197
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:49,839
Speaker 1: building the planets were flying in more lava, the same

1198
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 1: exact thing, but that's my or something I'm running away

1199
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 1: from the same world. Yeah, every morning. That's put this

1200
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 1: together in three months. You know you know what that does, right,

1201
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: That makes you, you know, be able to um be great,

1202
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 1: right because if you stop and and and you either

1203
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 1: die in the lava or maybe you build something that

1204
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:12,400
Speaker 1: will sustain through the lava. Right. But but ideally the

1236
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 1: our beliefs are. We really want that whole cannabis to

1237
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 1: be looked at as in research and medicine and go further.

1238
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 1: We believe smoker joint. If you want to smoke a joint,

1239
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:49,960
Speaker 1: don't get a twisted. But what we really stand by

1240
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 1: and what we want we want dark. We want the

1241
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 1: people who are using this for the medicine to better people.

1242
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: If you're smoking a joint to calm you down, and

1243
00:58:57,800 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 1: that's medicine, don't get a twisted. I'm not saying that's

1244
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 1: but use this for medicine, and it's truly medicine. It

1245
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 1: truly you know. I saw that with the Apothecana brand.

1246
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember that, but ten years

1247
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 1: in James Kennedy from from Colorado. They did like the topicals.

1248
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 1: So it's like the Extra Change pain spray and cream

1249
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 1: that they recently sold company. But he's done it for

1250
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:20,760
Speaker 1: ten years. But but this was something that we would

1251
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 1: send to like our parents and our family members that

1252
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:27,680
Speaker 1: I had a super bad arthritess and pains and and this,

1253
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 1: you know, the lotion and the spray would like let

1254
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 1: them one of one of the people's guardening again after

1255
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 1: like ten years of not being able to get down,

1256
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 1: left on the knees and stuff. And so this is

1257
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 1: ten years ago we saw the stuff. I wish my

1258
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 1: parents were alive at a time that they could have

1259
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: seen the benefit. I grew up at a time not

1260
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 1: knowing that my mom had a hunch, meaning I grew

1261
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 1: up thinking it was a Mexican cultural thing. They put

1262
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 1: weed in the alcohol, rubbing alcohol, so we had flour

1263
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 1: in it. It was the dirt brown weed flower, but

1264
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 1: still flower in that you know alcohol. But my point is,

1265
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 1: as you say, the elders felt that like as your

1266
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 1: dead last wishes smoking a joint there blue as he passes.

1267
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 1: My parents didn't get that, and you know what I mean,

1268
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:10,440
Speaker 1: they didn't get to use that where those products were

1269
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 1: out back then because they've been passed for twenty three

1270
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I could be doing like marketing burger king

1271
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 1: or something right now and making them money. But like

1272
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 1: I feel like we're doing good. We're doing good by

1273
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 1: doing this too, you know. Of course. Yeah, so I

1274
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 1: go back into what I what I really for those

1275
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 1: people that are just learning, you know, and and have questions.

1276
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 1: You know, think about the United States and just be

1277
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 1: very conscious that there's no way that our country would

1278
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 1: come out and say that there was medicinal value in

1279
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 1: this plant if there wasn't, just go off of that period.

1280
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:42,720
Speaker 1: You can ste and walk out. Yeah, and then dropped them.

1281
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:45,000
