tell you.
Speaker 1: You are here for things. Oh you aren't here for
things you weren't here for, like Danny, like Danny, like
implode it on Danny.
Speaker 3: I ate on himself at some points in the podcast
the past two days. It was some of the funniest stuff.
It was very, very entertain You weren't here to I was.
I was listening to Michael Merrit had little jabs jab
jab that you like to do the uh what what?
Kevin just now pulled up a turd on the end
of a thermometer.
Speaker 4: It's a poolroom. Yeah, I definitely want to get one
and toss Bob's poll.
Speaker 5: Probably timu cheaper and I will probably be talking.
Speaker 4: It's a ninety seven dollars thermometer. Now, yeah, I'll go
talk to my guy at LDL pool.
Speaker 5: Do you think they have it?
Speaker 1: If they don't, I'll make sure Luke gets it in.
Speaker 5: That is very funny. Uh man.
Speaker 3: Today I was in a first grade class. Do you
remember first grade for yourself?
Speaker 1: I don't remember yesterday for myself.
Speaker 3: Do you remember first grade for your kids at all?
And one was not that long ago for you?
Speaker 1: That really it was uneventful.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I I forgot like first grade stuff. So I'm
in there, and uh the kids are doing good. So
one kid cannot sit down, and one kid cannot stop
antagonizing other kids like just going over and knocking their
pensil box off.
Speaker 5: The desk and shit.
Speaker 1: So is that mini you? Well not, okay, I can
relate to those guys. I like to say, I didn't
do those that in first grade.
Speaker 5: But later on.
Speaker 3: There was indoor recess. So they're playing, yeah, and snowing
yesterday and snowing today.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah yesterday.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So uh I there's one kid who comes up to
me and he's from Yemen and he doesn't he speaks English. Okay,
he goes no one, No one wants to play with me,
and I said, buddy, I'll play with you. So we
get down on the floor kick. All of a sudden
in the back like there's an eruption over the legos.
Speaker 5: There's an eruption.
Speaker 3: They go back there and there's tears, like legit tears.
Little boy is crying because somebody a.
Speaker 1: Little did a little left. Any kid play nine to
eleven and somebody's tower.
Speaker 3: Oh but somebody like dismashed his. He had made a
person and they smashed it or something.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 3: So the kid's like, it's an accident. So that kid
goes off, and I thought this was pretty good for
a kid right realizes he needs to remove himself from
the situation. He went and sat in this giant like
cubby area and kind of put his coat over his face.
So I'm back there now and I'm standing there, Kevin.
Within three minutes, that kid comes out. He comes out,
He goes up to the kid that the kid that
uh whatever did whatever to his person, and he just
hauls off and whacks that kid upside the head. Now,
I got him cry, I got paperwork. I got him crying.
So I don't know what to do because I don't
know what to do. So, I mean, I know what
to do, right, I ended immediately. I take them both.
We sit down, we talk about why this happened. And
this one kid, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to
recons think it was an accident. And the other kid
won't talk. He will not talk, he's just and so
then I'm like, to me, it seemed like it was over.
The one kid bounced right back. The other kid was
just kind of inside himself and seemed a little frustrated.
Speaker 4: But the poor Yemen's exchanged thus over in the corner
crank because always playing with him again.
Speaker 3: So now now I realize, oh wait, it's twenty twenty five.
I better call somebody that I learned later on that
there's levels, like when you call the office is at
the level one, level two. So I was already at
a level two. So I try to keep things kind
of cool and quiet. I wound up sending them to
there's somebody who's supposed to help them regulate their emotions
or talk stuff out.
Speaker 5: So I went there.
Speaker 1: She goes, absolutely, yes, they have to come here.
Speaker 3: Okay, one kid comes back, and then about five to
ten minutes later, the other kid comes back. The one
that's not talking, the one that did the hitting.
Speaker 5: But he's not talking.
Speaker 3: So now they have work to do. I shouldn't laugh
at this. They have work to do. So we're writing
what we like about spring, okay, and then they have
to cut things out and paste them.
Speaker 5: Together and do all this.
Speaker 3: So everybody's got the paper and he takes his and
he just puts it in the garbage, not talking kid. Yeah,
so I go so that I say to him, now, buddy,
we can work on this. You did so good this morning,
and let me help you. How can I help you?
I'll even write it. You tell me and we'll sound
out the words and.
Speaker 5: We'll do it that way. He didn't want anything to
do with it.
Speaker 3: So then of course I've got a million other Can
I go to the bathroom, Can I get a drink?
Speaker 5: Can you help me with this? I can't? How do
you spell this? How do you?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 5: I see it?
Speaker 1: I come back.
Speaker 3: It's in the garbage again. Now he's got his desk
and it's tipped up on his knees and he's just
leaning it forward, leaning it forward, leaning it forward. So
I just moved some kids other way because it's going
to fall and I don't know, like do I go.
Speaker 1: Hey, don't do that, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Or what are you supposed to do? So the desk
falls now and there is stuff just goes everywhere. So
I say to him, I go, listen, let's put your
desk back up. I said, why don't you come over
and sit here. You don't have to do any work.
It looks like you're having a tough day. You just
sit in this blue chair and try to try to
just feel better. That's it, that's it.
Speaker 5: Your first grade. Well, I mean, you know what I.
Speaker 1: Mean, you're like Arnold Korzenegger in Kindergarten Kapo.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I didn't even see that movie, not a it's not
a tuma. So I'm like, I don't know what to
do though, Kevin, like, I'm standing there and I man,
I just figure the kids having a rough time, and
to me, it's not it's I don't know, I guess
it's bad. I suppose. I mean it's not. I guess
it's not good. But it's more like he's in a
bad place. Why do I need to make him feel worse?
Speaker 5: It was my thinking, right.
Speaker 1: A couple of poop jokes.
Speaker 3: Well, I figure in first grade, one of the goals
should be to get you to to want to come
back to school. Clearly this this kid doesn't. There's another
kid who's walking around. He's just angry all day till
I hate school.
Speaker 5: I go.
Speaker 3: He goes, Uh, what do you like to do? I
like to play basketball? I go, I want you to
write I like to play basketball in the spring.
Speaker 1: Man, I hate school sounds like Brady for the last
four nights, like, oh God, so that baby laught.
Speaker 3: So now I got the kid to the desktop and
then I I Uh. He decides that he doesn't want
to see the other kids, so he's gonna hide behind
these blue chairs.
Speaker 5: He builds a little fort.
Speaker 3: Which now intrigues everybody. They're all excited, come on in anyway,
come in, we're well, we'll just fit finish up this segment.
You can, and then we'll have the uh the m
J people. But make yourself at home. Sit in these
two black chairs. So so he dumps it.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 3: Now he's sitting behind these chairs and he says to me,
can I go to the bathroom?
Speaker 5: I said, yes, go to the bathroom.
Speaker 3: Well, other kids think where he's hiding is great. So
some kids in there. The next thing I know, I'm
in the back of the room. That kid comes back
in from the bathroom. Now he's dragging a kid out
by the.
Speaker 1: Cat of the squatter, just getting out of the squad.
What am I get to do?
Speaker 5: What do I do?
Speaker 3: And it was like and then then so then I
wind up having a car go listen, there's something else
that happened.
Speaker 1: I hate to bother you gain no, no, no, we
need to know.
Speaker 5: We need to know.
Speaker 3: And the kid that had their hair pulled has to
be checked by the nurse. I go, what, yeah, just
to make sure that they're okay. So I'm like, all right,
So I take that other kid down to the nurse,
the nursing and he goes, what I go, I don't know.
Speaker 5: This is what he told me to.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 5: And that was that's my day.
Speaker 4: Did you guys have I know your kids didn't because
they were first graders, but they've been having a state
tests going on. Was there any reports that you heard
from around your district work, because I know Greece had
the last two days all sorts of issues. The first
day they couldn't they had issues. They had to cancel it.
They got through part of it yesterday and apparently today
they got through all of it. But there was issues
statewide with these these state tests that these kids are
be able to connect or get into stuff.
Speaker 5: Oh I had emails. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Tuesday and Wednesday.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen any of that at all, nothing like that.
But that's where Yeah, No, I didn't see anything. It's
just it's just interesting because you see these kids and
I go, this is the stuff that this is.
Speaker 1: How do you teach? Like, how do you teach? How
did you get that kid ready understanding?
Speaker 5: Hand?
Speaker 1: Well? See, that's the.
Speaker 3: Thing is you can't and you shouldn't, right, I mean,
there's no I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I I hear what you're saying, and I know that
there would be some some back in the day, right
the back in the day. Oh, the nuns beat the
shit out of you back in the day.
Speaker 1: But we never I don't know.
Speaker 3: As I watched as I was, someone Marx told us
about the nuns beating the ship jerking around. I never
had nuns, but I've heard the stories.
Speaker 5: I had a.
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, I mean I had a teacher in second
grade made a stand I had to stand in the
corner in first grade for talking. Imagine that I was
talking when I shouldn't have been talking. And then the
other was I think I had my desk dumped in
second grade for me in the mess and they dumped
it out, which.
Speaker 4: You know, you know, you should know what the kid
in the fort was. Wouldn't want to get the racer. Yeah,
make a push it across with his nose, So how
far can.
Speaker 1: Go with it?
Speaker 4: That was, see how far I can go with Wait?
Make it fun for him, not a punishment.
Speaker 5: You know that that?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that was a teacher did that at my school.
It was called the nose job. And Gina and Perando
with their big nose. He'st to always telling her big
Italian nose, you got to push the eraser across the floor.
I go, you couldn't do any of that stuff. And
I found that guy. He was my favorite teacher. There
are some people that absolutely despised him. There were friends
of mine. When I did the podcast with people I
grew up with. One of the girls moms worked in
the school, and I brought that teacher up and she's like,
I could never stand him, No one ever could. And
I'm like, what do you mean, no one could.
Speaker 5: I loved him.
Speaker 3: I thought he was the greatest teacher ever. I had
to think the Ginko tree.
Speaker 1: I had to do all kinds of stupid, stupid, ridiculous stuff.
Speaker 5: But yeah, so that's what I did today. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I heard there's been a lot of different things in schools,
of fights and things leading up to spring break. Yeah,
to all our listeners, everyone wants to start a podcast,
just remember you gotta something that.
Speaker 1: It was substituting first grade.
Speaker 5: You don't, you don't. I know, you don't have to
do that.
Speaker 3: I need to because I just happened to have a
little bit of a mess in my hands.
Speaker 5: That's all, just a little bit of a mess.
Speaker 1: Not because of the podcast.
Speaker 5: Is fine.
Speaker 4: Too much free time, I mean, you'd be jacking off
all day. I gotta do something productive.
Speaker 3: It's that and that my fifteen year old kid who's
eating me out of house.
Speaker 5: Oh so you know that story. That's how that all went.
Speaker 3: We got to get into this whole Ontario County workplace party.
But our friends from MJ Dispensary have come into the studio.

thinking there has got to be something along that way.

Speaker 1: She imagined that from the dispensary.
Speaker 5: Here we go.
Speaker 1: There, we'll go right back to this. Here you go
a little recent.
Speaker 8: It's good.
Speaker 3: Abby and Michelle were kind of enough to come in
and they have a big, a big what are we
calling it party?
Speaker 8: Celebration, celebration That is the one.
Speaker 1: I thought it was. That's where we couldn't use.
Speaker 5: No, if you're.
Speaker 8: Having a celebration, celebrate stigma to and the stigma on
four nineteen nineteen, because Easter is four twenty correct.
Speaker 3: Yes, are you open on Easter? Yes, we are from
to get right in that, mic though, when you get
in there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't make the face. Get right in there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're open on Easter Sunny Sunday twenty from nine
to nine, nine to nine, and we're having a little
something special going on that day. If you come to
the store between next Thursday and Saturday, you can get
a paper with a set of clues on it and
on the back is a map of the regional market.
We're having an adult East d egg hunt. Wow, there's
gonna be twenty green eggs throughout the regional market outside
the different stores. Okay, and four golden eggs. And every
every egg you will get a gift card of some denomination.
Speaker 3: Nice, yes, the highest denomination being five hundred dollars day.
Speaker 1: That's all right, A lot of gummy yeah, it is
a lot of a lot of drinks, A lot of drinks.
Speaker 8: Or two ounces rough estimate, rough.
Speaker 3: Estimate how many ounces in like a standard pre roll.
Speaker 8: One gram right eighth So.
Speaker 3: When you're buying, My point being that you can get
a lot of rolls out of that. Yeah, two grams.
Speaker 8: Yeah, definitely, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think that's it's amazing math you did in your head.
Speaker 5: Though.
Speaker 8: I've gotten a lot better at mass. Surprisingly, I just
I didn't know how to I did not know the
measurements of we'd before starting working at i'mj really honestly no,
like people I didn't know, like just being bad at
math in general, I just couldn't.
Speaker 4: You could transfer to them across the border in Canada
you r in a metric system.
Speaker 8: Too, I don't. I don't know anything about that, but yeah,
like I've learned all the different quantities.
Speaker 5: Yeah, of what goes on in there.
Speaker 3: Uh, there's still kind of a stigma, I would say,
around cannabis. I don't know if that's that's fair to say. Yeah,
I think there is still a stigma in some circles.
Oh happened there?
Speaker 5: Hang on?
Speaker 3: Oh, thank you, thank you? There there she is, she's
on shore. She wanted to see herself.
Speaker 5: I had it.
Speaker 8: Oh that's funny.
Speaker 3: So I'm saying, like there's some stigmas and stuff around weed.
How do you see dispensaries kind of changing that narrative,
And because I think there's a role, it's more to
me a dispensary, and especially after singing MJ up close,
I find it's not it's not a candy shop for adults.
Speaker 1: It's actually education.
Speaker 3: You go in there and you are getting education, which
I think plays an important part in shifting the perception.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I mean, I don't know about other dispensaries
in the area. I really haven't visited.
Speaker 1: Who cares, But there's only one exactly.
Speaker 6: They were the first one, number one in Rochester, first one,
that's right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, popping up all over the place, though I've seen
a lot lately popping up.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I still always go to Yeah.
Speaker 6: Well, our staff, we make sure they are fully educated. Yeah,
on every product we have, and we have every about
every Wednesday, one of our brands. They come in and
they do a forty five minute training on their products
and the staff comes in for that.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 3: Yes, so you get a whole training. Uh, yard, I
was trying to adjust the camera on you. Forgive me
for that for just a secy.
Speaker 6: It doesn't have to be on me.
Speaker 3: Yes, it does. When you're talking, it's got to be
on you. We got to let people see Michelle as
she's right there. It's one of the friendly faces that MJ.
I love that bit that you do. The but that's
open to anybody. It's not just or is that privacy for.
Speaker 6: Our staff just your staff we have in the past.
We are going to start doing more eventually. We did
a growing and a trimming class.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: On Sunday before we opened, one of our growers came
in and taught a group of customers. Yeah, how to
grow and trim and harvest.
Speaker 1: Growing and trim so you could be a shower.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so funny. When I was a kid, I
grew up downstate near Woodstock, and I grew up in
a place called Pine Plains, actually on the other side
of the river from Woodside, And somebody got busted for
trying to grow weed in between a farmer's cornstocks.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think it was Stephen dam I'm pretty sure. Yeah,
stacial limitations that you can name names.
Speaker 5: Now, I well, I name names because I think he's dead.
I'm not sure. Yeah, I figured why not farmer got him?
Speaker 3: What's something most people completely misunderstand about how dispensaries operate
and especially behind the scenes and stuff like that. Is
there anything that you think there's a misunderstanding in terms
of I.
Speaker 8: Think a lot of like you, like the uneducated, like
folks that don't know everything. Yet a lot of people
honestly like think that we have like in house things.
We get everything delivered, don't do anything in the store.
We just we sell the product like they distributed to us.
Speaker 6: We sell it for that and we don't process it,
we don't package it. We don't cut it, trim it.
We don't make the gummies.
Speaker 3: Does it commit lock like the like the prescriptions that
like a pharmacy would go.
Speaker 6: Come in bins and once we open the bins, we
have to count everything while our inventory staff does count everything,
make sure it's correct and it's already prepackaged.
Speaker 1: Now we can hear you that's yeah, that's that thing.
Speaker 8: That's better.
Speaker 9: Wow.
Speaker 3: I just want to make sure well because everything is
like hermetically sealed and everything, so you know what you're
getting is pure whatever. Because we were talking about I
told you I won't say where I learned this from,
but uh, there's people that deliver like we'll run from
the city and what did you say.
Speaker 6: Michelle, that's not legal.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well a it's not legal, so we know you
get in trouble.
Speaker 6: Legally tested, all the products we get have a CoA
on it. It's a certificate of analysis and it shows
you the lab testing of what is not in your
weed and what your weed is. Yeah, I mean there's
shows there's no heavy metals, there's no fetanol. I mean
on the streets. Now you don't know what's in it?
Speaker 1: No, you don't, do you guys do a door dash
for weed.
Speaker 6: We do delivery service, so you go online order and
we have Taco.
Speaker 1: Bell the way to.
Speaker 8: Idea you guys, maybe one of the guys.
Speaker 6: I'm sure we have one of our drivers that would
probably do that.
Speaker 3: You need to, like, you should try to do the
MJ Taco Bell bundle.
Speaker 8: Honestly, Taco Bell is right like in that.
Speaker 1: Same right there too.
Speaker 8: Give them a lot of business, I'm.
Speaker 1: Sure you do.
Speaker 5: That's pretty funny. That's very funny.
Speaker 3: With so many new products that are coming out, like
right here, I just want to show you the layup.
Speaker 5: This is called layup.
Speaker 3: It's cannabis confused refreshment, which, by the way, I'm now
seeing some weed waters or weed seltzers in bars.
Speaker 6: Those are are those the hemp drive They are hemp derived,
so they're basically like CBD.
Speaker 5: Oh they are.
Speaker 6: They don't have the psychoactive that the.
Speaker 1: Okay, I've seen some of them like liquor stars too.
Speaker 3: Oh so I okay, So they're not telling you weed
water that you can buy at your step. Okay, that's
what I want to see. But I know a lot
of people are seeking this out and like it.
Speaker 6: Oh they're so good, especially this one just came out.
This is exactly like a Seltzer and zero calories, zero sugar,
zero carbs. It's so tasty.
Speaker 8: Ryan said, that was the I think second top cel yesterday.
The strawberry lemonade yesterday.
Speaker 6: Really delivered to our story yesterday it was the second
top selling.
Speaker 3: What a fun thing to grab. Just I'm just saying, like,
if you're going to go out for a day fishing on.
Speaker 8: Your many good flavors, like all of them I've tried
are so good from any of the brands.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 8: If I like, there's a couple like I wouldn't my
gofer again probably, but all of them didn't Like, I
don't know.
Speaker 6: They're all really tasty.
Speaker 3: What uh okay, So is that the most exciting product
honestly in your mind right now? New is that the
most exciting one?
Speaker 6: We just got some really good pre rolls in today
by oh by a micro grower, and we tried it
and it was really good a micro grower and they
just went on the shelves today.
Speaker 1: Really, can you say the name of the micro grower.
Speaker 6: Doctor Dankenstein.
Speaker 3: Yes, he's a superintendent, doctor Dankenstein. Yes, this is and
it's a micro grower. So that means they just do
a small mauch.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And you guys like the Three Heads Brewery for weed. Yeah,
do you guys get to Uh that's a great analogy.
You guys get to test this stuff.
Speaker 6: Sometimes they do give us a little good here. Yeah, yeah,
just to test it.
Speaker 1: Can't sell what you haven't tried exactly.
Speaker 6: We need to know what it's gonna do to somebody.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Because I'm thinking like, okay, so how about where
cannabis is headed.
Speaker 6: Oh, it's it's going big, I mean.
Speaker 1: There is.
Speaker 6: I mean, next thing you're gonna see are gonna be
smoke lounge at some point where it'll be like a bar,
but you just go in and order weed and sit
there and smoke like a cigar bar. Can they Okay,
so they come Yeah in some areas I believe not
on that, but I know.
Speaker 1: Yeah it's coming.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 3: Because I'm wondering, like with the New York States smoking laws,
how do they get around it?
Speaker 4: What they do if it's a private club like that
cigar like that cigar bar that soldier goes to, it's
a private club, they ventilate it all. I feel like
Pineapple Jacks has a cigar clubs.
Speaker 6: Cigar lounge in there. I know he has to be
properly ventilated and all that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you have to pay so much. You could
be a member for a year. You can pay per
trip in like and it's the one to Marco's because
the nice whiskey and down smokes a cigar.
Speaker 3: Kind of like this because well here's the thing that
im talking to, borrowingers a bit stuff, I'm I can't
find the door. I I love to drink. I grew
up in a family that drank, and I still to
this day enjoy drinking. And and yet I'm seeing, like
even I've got guys sons that are in their early twenties,
and I'm thinking Abby's got to be probably around there too.
I'm twenty three, okay, so years old as my son
Jordan is that age. So I just I'm going, we
know somebody who owns bars who said bars are dying,
They're dying, And I went, really, Now, the ones I
go to are still, I guess, catering to old people
like myself, because they do Okay, they do, okay, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I never go out as a young person. I
never I don't drink a lot. Yeah, probably did most
of my drinking before I turned anyone. But yeah, I mean.
Speaker 6: For me growing up in my early twenties was a
while ago. I mean, that was the thing. You went
out and drank, drink.
Speaker 1: I drank when I was from fourteen.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's been a family. I mean, my family's German,
so we grew up.
Speaker 8: My family's Irish German Irish, Yeah, just Irish.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wonder, I wonder if you see down the
road five ten years the number of just dwy's just
dropping with.
Speaker 6: You can get them for smoke. We too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but some of those kids seem to be more
response responsible in some ways.
Speaker 5: I mean, although, like you.
Speaker 1: Said, did you stay at home and not going out?
Or you're going out for one drink and you're going
home for.
Speaker 6: The night exactly.
Speaker 3: See a lot of these kids are saying, here's what
I heard, and Abby, you tell me it was people
your rage. They'll go out to a bar have a
drink or two, but then they like to go home
around ten and that's where they'll have an edible or
smoke or something.
Speaker 8: But they that's what I would do. Yeah, it's I
hate being out late. It's it's not like I've always
I am such a homebody. I really don't. I like
having fun. I like to go out, but it's just
I don't know how.
Speaker 1: Late did you stay out at the Taylor Swiss show.
Speaker 8: That was a long day and I was with my
brother and his friend, so we I think we were
out for like probably over twelve hours, from like am
to like probably yeah, probably, yeah, I didn't at that time. No,
I don't know. I'm trying to remember. I don't know.
All I know is that truly was like twelve bucks. Yeah, yeah,
and like you had to like, oh my god, it
was like like I mentioned before, I was like on
the floor seat, so it's all like literally on the ground.
So do you have to like walk around to like
the back of like the stadium area to use the
restroom but it's outdoor, so it's the port and then
there's like the outdoor like kind of bar area. There's
like a list of all the drinks. There's nothing less
than like ten dollars probably, And it was such a
long day. I was like, I don't even want to drink.
I'm in a field gross, So yeah, I don't even
think I got one. I was just looking for water.
I'm so dehydrated.
Speaker 3: I wonder who's going to be the person that's smart
enough to as you said, and maybe the dispensaries will
be the first, But to invest in some kind of
smoking lounge. Because we have a friend that said I
want to open a coffee shop because the bars are
dying and the coffee shops are where people are really
hanging out again. And I thought interesting. But then if
you put a I think a smoke lounge that offered
an array of stuff, even some wine, some alcohol, I'm there, Yeah, right,
Wine and weed was always a big I thought. I
don't know, at least where I grew up. I remember
seeing it was boonstim and weed. You know, it wasn't
Bartles and the Bartles and James coolers. Yeah, I mean,
I'm fifty three years What are they talking about?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's right, I'm age.
Speaker 1: No, you're not even close. You don't even know Bartles
and James.
Speaker 5: Who are they?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you had that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: What's the weirdest And I asked.
Speaker 3: This sort of off there, but I'll ask them, what's
the weirdest request from a customer? You've gotten, and did
you actually try to make it happen? Because I have
to think, And I said to you. Someone came in
and goes, could you cure my parrots anxiety?
Speaker 5: You know what I mean? Can you help? You have
anything that's going to help that.
Speaker 6: Well, I've had people ask for their dogs, cats, Yeah,
you know, for thunderstorm okay to help. Yeah, but unfortunately
it's not safe for healthy to give animals THHC.
Speaker 8: But we do.
Speaker 6: There is CBD products for pets okay, yeah. But the
weirdest request for actual THHD products is when people come
in looking for sexual enhancers.
Speaker 3: Are there any sexual enhancers in the weed stuff? Because
they mixed weed and viagria you get it.
Speaker 1: Well, you can grow like a plant.
Speaker 6: Like the difference trapedes and the cannabinoids they can.
Speaker 5: Help, they can. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The cannabinoid is a is a word I didn't even
know existed.
Speaker 5: We didn't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But I mean there's all kinds of things that
go into this week stuff that I was totally oblivious to.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 3: So you've gotten What do you say to these people?
Do you recommend them? Do you steer them in the
right direction? Yeah?
Speaker 8: Give them the options we have.
Speaker 3: Does any guy come back and go, hey, that was killer, yes,
or actually his partner come back and say whatever, Hey,
can you get me some more of those? I want
to slip it in his coffee? How often do people
walk in thinking it is kind of like a stone
or candy shop and leave feeling as though they're overwhelmed
because it's science y cannabinoids right, and I don't know
what are they? Tickters Tintin's. I mean all these things
that I don't I don't know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it is overwhelming, especially for I don't want to
say this run mean, but the older generation is overwhelming
for them.
Speaker 5: It's for me.
Speaker 8: I was never really into it now some of them,
some of them have a down pat like there's a
lot of like war vets that come and know write
what they want.
Speaker 3: Like that's what I just saw on our Facebook here,
our friend Sarge said, the MJ is a very very
veteran friendly place.
Speaker 6: Search from Robbie's. Yeah, high Searge, that's funny.
Speaker 4: Yes, I just want to when I go in there,
I'm always looking for somebody to help me because I
just I don't know what I'm looking.
Speaker 1: I've learned some stuff, but you know.
Speaker 6: That's why we make sure our staff is fully educated
on everything we have in the store so they can
help these people who just come in and are overwhelmed
by looking at it. We just asked them, well, what
are you looking for?
Speaker 8: Break it down?
Speaker 1: Do they know what they're looking for?
Speaker 6: They'll tell you, oh, I need something for pain, I'm
making trouble sleeping, or it's a lot of these older
people are saying, I just want to get high yep.
And then we asked them, Okay, do you want like
an energetic high, sleepy or relaxing high, or do you
want in between?
Speaker 3: So my parents would have been of the woodstock era. Okay, yep, okay,
but my dad will brag about.
Speaker 5: We were on the through wig Go in the opposite direction.
Speaker 3: I was in a three piece suit and where we
were going to a wedding blah blah blah blah blah.
So they never and it was sort of frowned upon.
But yet I grew up in this very rural community.
I went to a school in a town called Pine Plains,
New York. Yeah, so the largest school district in New
York State per square mile, But there was like because
there's no one around, it was like two hundred square
miles school district. And there was a lot of weed
smoking that went on, and people growing in and different things.
And I had a teacher who said, if you're gonna
smoke it, This is a teacher.
Speaker 5: If you're gonna.
Speaker 3: Smoke it, don't smoke a joint because it comes in
so hot. Could burn the soldering on a roach clip
because the way it burns and that heat goes into
your lungs. If you're gonna smoke it, use a water bond.
Speaker 1: That was a real lesson in pine planes. I got that. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Matter of fact, fourth grade, a guy named mister Brannigan
came in. He was the drug counselor. He burned weed
and goes, if you ever smell anything like this, come
and find an adult or me.
Speaker 10: Oh my god, they burned it, like I swear he was.
Speaker 1: He was getting high himself. He was smoking it up.
Speaker 8: Crazy, isn't it.
Speaker 10: They burned it in the fucking in fourth grade. Yeah,
the old days were great. I'm saying, awesome. Yeah, let
me ask you a question. We were having a discussion about
this the other day. That's uh, our friend Serge okay,
wanting to bring him up. Sarge's calling was there an
expiration date on my gummies?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 8: Yes, there's an expiration for everything gummies weed.
Speaker 1: What kind of timeframe are you looking at?
Speaker 3: They give it to you on the on the package,
it'll say good for ninety days.
Speaker 8: It'll say like after opening. But then there is also
like a this one.
Speaker 6: Heretires March fifteenth, twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: Does it just decrease?
Speaker 5: What's ed it?
Speaker 1: Or is it just not effective at that point?
Speaker 8: I think it's the effectiveness.
Speaker 3: It's the effectiveness. It's still good. Oh yeah, you can
still get a little bud. They never go bad.
Speaker 8: Maybe it'll like mature like wine does. Yes, you'll just
get really left from Get.
Speaker 1: A vintage iron Mike Tyson gummy Tyson ones are funny
with the years.
Speaker 8: Yeah, off ear bites and he did the vape collab,
and there was that thing where you could win like
a golden ticket in the.
Speaker 4: Vape and you could go to the fight. Somebody in
my neighborhood finished off.
Speaker 1: What Bob may have taken most of it.
Speaker 8: I think you are will help you out.
Speaker 1: Uh, Serge, are you there?
Speaker 5: Sir?
Speaker 1: Oh wait, hang on, thinking we are connected. You can
hear you can hear, Sarge.
Speaker 5: Muffled. But let me Uh.
Speaker 8: No, that's funny.
Speaker 5: No, I can't yet hang.
Speaker 1: In Eddie got you?
Speaker 5: They got you all right.
Speaker 3: Well, while I figure this out this technical difficulty with Sarge,
I'm gonna ask I'm gonna ask Abby this question. Okay,
if Snoop dogg, Martha Stewart and your grandmother walked into
MJ Dispensary at the same time, who are you helping first?
And what are you recommending.
Speaker 5: To each.
Speaker 8: Snoop Dog first? That's right, and also that's would have
been a mashot question. That's her man.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sorry, grandma if that's bullshit.
Speaker 8: No, I love my grandma, but I'll just give her
my stuff at another time the way she always gets
stuff from me.
Speaker 3: Let me see what's happening with Uh, how come I
can't get started to connect over? Sorry, I'm gonna ask
you to do me a favor. Can you call back?
You want to take a break, Yeah, I'm gonna take
a break. Well, Uh, you call us. We'll get you
all patched in and we'll get you on and we

the Justin Bieber.
Speaker 1: Ros I know that was the one. She was on
one before that too, No, she was, but I think
oh maybe, Okay, so it was a roast though.
Speaker 3: I think that they sort of because when they do
the roast, you're sitting there for twelve hours to get
everybody's jokes right and the lighting and this and then
that it's a full day and before they let the
audience in, they probably do a dry rehearsal, right, And
they were together and he said they found her very funny.
I don't know how the collaboration came out, but it
was a wonderful, wasn't it great?
Speaker 6: They were amazing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, awesome.
Speaker 4: I don't see him do something with like Gordon Ramsay
and and and put it in like food gourmet food.

am I wrong? Somewhere in the United States that was
a weed restaurant.
Speaker 1: I've seen that guy's car like that.
Speaker 8: I'm not totally sure, but I have seen like probably
like a TikTok of somewhere in like New York City
or New York.
Speaker 1: City is Colorado. We had a private shop we go
to bring in. I gotta see Vegas.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Is it legal in Vegas?
Speaker 6: Cannabis?

Speaker 5: I just.
Speaker 8: You can do anything in Vegas.

Speaker 3: Our friend Serge is on the Sarge has been on
the podcast. Oh my gosh, yeah, yes, Michelle, and they
got so excited when they heard your name. You know,
he's he you know what I always call him, one
nutty guy.
Speaker 11: Tell him tell him why no? You can go ahead
and your show. Tell him why no?
Speaker 1: I tell why one nutty guy? Do you know? Michelle?
Speaker 6: But I'm not a hundred percent Okay, yes, you're kidding
too much. I did not.
Speaker 1: He's going to come in and ask what a help?
Speaker 11: Why do you think I come into MJ's all the time,
so you know, I got to help Bill out here.
Speaker 1: He had he had a lot of Uh.
Speaker 3: This guy had more surgeries than anybody after serving overseas,
and I think it was wasn't it due to a
medical mistake that the testicle has gone?
Speaker 5: Or is that part of the.
Speaker 11: Yeah, well that part, yeah, that part was because the
uh that was because they tried to keep me overseas
uh in Iraq and bag Dad like I was going
to end the war by myself, and I kept getting
in infection from sandstorms and all this other stuff from
makeshift hospitals that thanks to you know, the politicians here,
they got me out to Germany. So that was what
saved me from be having a lot more problems.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what though starts these days.
Speaker 5: You're a ball to be around.
Speaker 11: I love it. That's what it's all about. I couldn't
believe this Bill. This must be a holiday because I
got my two favorite people in the same spot. I
should have been there. I said, you guys are amazing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 11: Well, they helped us out's has been amazing. I just
that's why I wanted to hit you up because MJ's
a lot of people don't know has has been very instrumental.
You guys know what I do in the veteran community.
And MJ's is they're so smart, they're so educational. They
I tell the veterans my slogan is, there's a strain
for every pain. Just go to MJ's. I tell the
veterans all the time on my on my podcast, my
Open Spaces, because what they do, what they do for me,
what they do for me and the other veterans, especially
the older veterans. You know, they're they're scared about going
into places, and I tell them, I said, listen, I'll
meet you there, or you can just go, you know,
let them know. Hey, sar Jo sar Sensha, I said,
you don't have to know what you want. You tell
them your issues. They will get you squared away. That's
how knowledgeable they are. They're not going to try to
tell you. They're gonna it's. It has gotten me personally,
and you guys know all the stuff I've been through, Bill,
it has gotten me off of over five medications. I mean,
at least eight medications that I was on. I don't
have to anymore because of the knowledge that I have
from MJ's. I don't go anywhere else.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to. I want to kind of piggyback
on that only because better living through chemistry is what
I would call it, right with medicine. And I'll say
medicine is a tool for some people in certain cases. However,
there's side effects that can be damaging to other organs,
especially the liver and things like that. And if you
can find a natural alternative that gives you the same effect,
would be so much better. And I think that's what
MJ helps you find.
Speaker 5: I'm glad.
Speaker 1: How many medications did you? Did you say three or any?
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 11: Ever, well, ever since I say it became ever since
I found MJ's. I to date, I could say there
is a definite seven I will say, just to be
completely honest, but I say eight here soon that I'm
not taking anymore. Because there's a drink, there's a tinsure,
there's an edible, there's something to smoke, whatever you want.
I know a lot of older, older veterans, they don't
want to smoke. I don't want to smoke anymore. Well,
guess what there? I see him taking edibles all the time,
you know, so it's it's great. And the fact that
they can go to a place like MJ's where they're
so knowledgeable, and they don't you know that that they
they really care. That's the thing is that they're they're
not gonna they're just there to get you out of line.
They care, They'll they'll spend time. I've seen them plenty
of times, take time with them. And that's why I
I make sure to always show love and respect. And
it was just so awesome when I heard I said, wait,
I said, I got a call. Then I said, because
they've saved me so much. Uh, And they saved other
veterans that I know, especially the older generation that are
new to this. They're like, oh, the last thing they
remembered was the veteran community is thy stick and acapoca gold,
you know from the pilots flying it in that they don't.
It's all illegal to them. It's all illegal to them now,
you know, Tith and Song.
Speaker 5: That's all.
Speaker 11: So now they're they're understanding through me with all my
testimony of all the problems I've gone through, all the surgeries,
how do you do with ours? I'll tell you wat's
this here, this one here, I got this for you. Hey,
try this. I'll come with you. But m Jay's has
been I just want to say thank you guys, you know,
for being instrumental in the veteran community. Because of all
the stuff I've been through, you guys have definitely made
my life a lot easier.
Speaker 1: You should definitely.
Speaker 4: Stayup on there with a bunch of vets at the
celebration on four nineteen. Yeah, it would love to see
all the vets there.
Speaker 8: Good, good way to introduce new people that haven't experience
in a while or whatever.
Speaker 11: Yeah, they know we do everything we can.
Speaker 1: Charge.
Speaker 5: I appreciate you calling it.
Speaker 8: Thank you very much, very kind.
Speaker 11: Yeah, no, I appreciate it. I'll let you guys know.
I'll keep listening, but I just wanted to let you honestly,
you guys have done so much. I've known a lot
of veterans have done other places because it was closer
to them, and they are coming to you guys. And
I've never told you guys this before, but they feel
more accepted. They feel like you guys actually know what
you're talking about, and you guys are trying to help them.
So I appreciate it. From a veteran advocate, standpoint, you
guys are are definitely holding it down for our veteran
community to keep these guys from being a statistic and
get them off, you know, the pharmaceuticals, and I see
them being a lot happier too. So thank you guys
so much for what you guys do. And I'm glad
you guys are on the show and keep up the
great work.
Speaker 5: Thank you man, it's so kind.
Speaker 11: Thank you. Bill. You take care, Hi, buddy, love you.
Take care.
Speaker 5: Guys, keep being guy.
Speaker 1: I will for you, Bill, I'll do it. Take care.

Speaker 3: They were like they're just old stoll Stoners, old Stoners,

Speaker 5: Doing what they love to do.
Speaker 13: Uh.
Speaker 3: There's a story that's making some news in our area
and it has to do with a neighboring county to
where we recorded the podcast. And it's one of these
things where I go, I don't think this would make
much noise if it were twenty years ago, maybe even
thirty years ago, but I think now you got to
be so careful with different I don't know, cameras and
things around. In Ontario County, they have a workplace event
dubbed Fallfest. Okay okay, and it's spiraled into controversy when
reports emerged that the courthouse employees, including the DA with
the disc Attorney's Office and heat DA, drank alcohol during
work hours on election Day twenty twenty four. Though it's
a state holiday, it wasn't a day off for county workers.
Were they up for election? Nope, Oh no, I could
see that being. Yeah, we're celebrating the returns and everything.
Traditionally a lighthearted office event involving games and food, fall
Fest has evolved into a full day bash with decorations, karaoke,
and allegedly booze. Employees were seen in the over the
top costumes, including strippers, serial killers, and even a fake
strip club set up with Mack Cocaine. Let me go
to Channel thirteen's report on this. Oh, thirteen, WHM did
a whole piece, actually four minutes. You never see a
four minute piece in the news anymore.
Speaker 1: This is a that's like a major. That's nine to eleven.
Speaker 3: That's a nine to eleven. This is a four minute
piece here, so breaking.
Speaker 13: A thirteen Wham investigation, We've obtained a copy of an
internal investigation report into an event involving the Ontario County
District Attorney's office in the courthouse.
Speaker 15: The event, now known as Fallfest, happened on election Day,
a paid day off for state employees but not for
county employees. Thirteen Wham was first alerted about this event
weeks after it happened over concerns a violated county policy.
Speaker 13: The report claims people were drinking alcohol at this event
during the work day. Our team also obtained surveillance video
from the courthouse that day showing some of what happened.
Speaker 3: Thirteen who cares well, right?
Speaker 4: I took two hours of PTO so I can have
a couple of beers garon.
Speaker 12: A majority of this report from Mindi County is heavily redacted.
As you can see here, it is paid a picture
of what happened that day.
Speaker 3: It does make me wonder like, why, okay, why do
we square? Yeah, little square, Okay, there's a reason why
I think this came out. I'll hold on to that
for a second. But it is one of these things
where you go, how is this changing my day?
Speaker 5: I get it.
Speaker 3: You're gonna tell me it's taxpayer dollars. This is employees.
They should be held to a higher standard. But I
don't think anyone would have batted an eye. Those who
knew knew, those who didn't didn't. There's a lot of
things you don't know that go on in certain places,
and that's just the way it is, right.
Speaker 5: But let's see when I get.
Speaker 15: The investigative reporter Loel Rose has been looking a story
four months now.
Speaker 12: Lowell good, evening, good, even aaron and majority of this
report from Ontario County is heavily redacted, as you can
see here. Now, what it does is paint a picture
of what happened that day, but it doesn't answer a
lot of things as far as what happened on election
day in the final result. An eighteen page report obtained
by eighteen News page she it's light on a November
fifth event.
Speaker 5: How'd you like to be? The hr person asks us
to do this, you're.
Speaker 12: Like time and one person from the Sheriff's office was
interviewed for the county's internal compliance investigation. According to the report,
Fallfest is a tradition that started years ago with the
previous district attorney, consisting of cookoffs, games, and extended lunch
breaks with no alcohol involved during the work day. The
report says the fall Fest continued with current Da Jim Ritz,
but expanded into a day long event that included elaborate
office wide decorations, drinking alcohol, games, and singing karaoke. Surveillance
video obtained by thirteen Wham News from the New York
State Unified Court System shows the moment District Attorney writ
led employees from the jury room directly to the court room.
According to the report, this happened around twelve to fifty
on election Day. The deem for the twenty twenty four
fall Fest was Anthony, with some people dressed as Tony
award winning musicals and others dressed as murderers serial killers
associated with the name Tony. The report claims unemployee decorated
office as a fictional script club from The Sopranos, and
some decoration included a large pall of white powder on
a desk.
Speaker 1: Hey, Jim, I need you out of the evidence locker
real quick.
Speaker 12: I go to look like cocaine employees dressed as scrippers,
hannibal electors.
Speaker 1: But see, the thing is like, if you weren't there,
how are you offended? But people will be. It's just
like the help be outraged. It's like the holidays.
Speaker 4: At every company you go a couple of days before Christmas,
you have a team launch.
Speaker 1: You all exchange white elephant.
Speaker 16: Who's getting worked on that day? Who's getting worked on
that just election people have their fun. Imagine the freaking
party at m J.
Speaker 5: Chas.
Speaker 12: Yeah, Da Rich dressed as a Mormon character. A picture
sent two to thirty.
Speaker 3: So the DA of Ontario County was dressed as a
character from book Book of Mormon. I don't know what
the significance of these dressing up is or whatever, but
he was. And I can't imagine that job at any
level in the courthouse is easy or fun.
Speaker 1: Who I just want to know who the office crunt
is that we have.
Speaker 12: To smack RHM news from shows you know in costume
event it was. The investigative report states many employees drink
out of plastic solo cups, and boys admit it. They
brought alcoholic drinks and solo cups into the jury. In
the courtrooms oh my god. The report says one employee
had a lot of orange juice fun, while another employee
had bottles of liquor alcoholic Seltzer's ice. Another drink mixers.
During questioning through email, the report says DA Ritz said
I was asked if alcohol was involved, It absolutely was not.
The report further explains Ritz stated he meant there was
no alcohol taken to the third floor or served.
Speaker 5: On the third floor. I don't know what.
Speaker 12: The district attorney later admits, so allowing employees to leave
work early that day, Some reportedly went to his sidary
to have drinks. The DA said he had a drink
at work after four pm the day before Fall Fast,
and drink during Fall Fast twenty twenty three, but did
not drinking during Fall Fast twenty twenty four. Now, District
Attorney Gim Britch released a statement to us saying, just
like plenty of offices everywhere, we had an office party
on a state holiday. This event started many years ago
in the direction of my predecessor, and no one has
questioned it up until now, when I happened to be
running for re election.
Speaker 5: A there it is, there, it is the people.
Speaker 4: So somebody in office is running for DA nobody look election,
your timing and accountability culture?
Speaker 5: All right, So there there you go.
Speaker 3: Is this investigation truly about ethics or political chess?
Speaker 4: But but how many how many like CEOs or you
know managers have that ticker cabinet in their in their office?
Speaker 1: Yeah a ton lawyers. Yeah, look at the Wolf of
Wall Street.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean shit, yeah, I mean I think this
would have gone unnoticed if Ritz were not running for
office or running for reelections. It's running for reelection. If
he were not, I don't think we would have ever
heard about this. But because he is, this event which
everybody is part taken in and then seem to care.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's April.
Speaker 4: I would love to find the video footage of the
whistleblower having fun doing whatever.
Speaker 3: They were doing exactly because this is when this is
where I go. When does genuine accountability get weaponized for
personal gain, like you're not being accountable? There was people
blown off steam, no one got hurt, no one knew,
there wasn't a whole lot going on at the courthouse.
Speaker 1: Is it going to affect his next case?
Speaker 3: Absolutely not No, No, Now, if somebody had got out
and could affect it. If somebody had got out and
gotten a DWI or something, then yes that's an issue.
Somebody's out there driving on three wheels afterwards, that's an issue.
Speaker 5: Yes, we've seen that.
Speaker 4: But if they're all doing it at a party and
they're being responsible, yeah.
Speaker 5: It's crazy. Right.
Speaker 1: This is the kind of stuff though, that you can
go to the sightery and get hammered and then pull
a DWR. It doesn't matter. It's not company.
Speaker 3: No, it's not the company, and it would only be
you and not the entire DA's office. This is like
a stain on the DA's office. And you're trying to
say he allows these shenanigans. He made it bigger. He
did this. It's a fall fest that they've had for
a while. Things evolve, every party evolves.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, what's this case close?
Speaker 11: Right?
Speaker 1: How many is he went? How many is it live?
Speaker 5: Exactly?
Speaker 1: That's all that matters.
Speaker 3: That is all that matters. And he seems to do it.
But I will say fall fest where justice isn't just blind.
She's buzzed and dressed like a soprano.
Speaker 1: Scale cocaine.
Speaker 3: I would have laughed so hard if I walked into
somebody's office. It's decorated like I can't even imagine, like
the bottom biing from the Sopranos. And they got a
mountain of cocade on the desk. I am, I am roaring,
absolutely white substance. There's probably flower flower sugar.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like, come on.
Speaker 3: Guys, a waste, what a waste? All right, Kevin, we'll
wrap it up and head into the weekend. Any big
weekend plans. I'm going to MJ in the read Yeah, reload, reload,
reload and ready to go. Yes, yes, you're gonna wait
the groag.
Speaker 5: When is the garage opening?
Speaker 1: That's right, I got a new screen. I gotta put up.
I gotta just get a rug and it's gotta get warm.
Did by here though, I have a heater out there.
Speaker 3: Look at this, not a big heater, it's just enough
enough to take.
Speaker 5: The edge onb That's it, exactly.
Speaker 3: And that's it for Kevin Mure, for our friend Abby
who thought John Mayer actually played with the dead the
dead people, and for Michelle from a Javid MJ dispensary.
Speaker 1: I'm Bill Moran. We'll see you on Monday. You see,
they were looking for a kind of night with Tenna
see please
Speaker 16: H
