I'm like, 35 00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:46.239 what what if there's a massive snowstorm shuts everybody out? 36 00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.359 Like how how do we plan contingencies around it? 37 00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:53.680 So that does not so well? That too? Yeah, outdoor 38 00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:55.599 and and if you ever do outdoor, and thankfully you're 39 00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:57.640 not doing outdoors, outdoor is such another thing. Like I 40 00:01:57.719 --> 00:01:59.560 just did a good yesterday in the outdoor. It's how 41 00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:02.439 hard to weather you can't, right, So these storms come 42 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.519 in backup plans. But I mean, you know, I mean 43 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.199 just to reflect, I mean, compared to obviously the hot 44 00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:10.599 box social your first like will we the metric match 45 00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:12.840 that I went to, how is your experience at the 46 00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:13.599 crow foot throwing? 47 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:18.639 It was amazing, Like yeah, just the club owner itself 48 00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:21.439 and like the people that worked the club, like we're 49 00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.479 like way more involved in, way more set up for 50 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:25.479 us to walk into. 51 00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:27.639 So it gave us a lot off our plate. 52 00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:29.639 Like when we got there, like honestly, like there's a 53 00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.000 two hour period that we were like, Okay, I guess 54 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.159 we're set up, you know, like we give us ourselves 55 00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:37.120 like a good amount of time to make sure that 56 00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:42.280 everything is uh playing properly, and like I was tables 57 00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:45.280 and set up and sponsors ready to come in and 58 00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:47.280 everything was pretty much done for us. So it was 59 00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:51.360 super convenient. And then like we weren't sure like how 60 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:53.560 the new venue would play, and there's never been a 61 00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:58.560 cannabis event at that venue, right, like, so we were 62 00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:00.919 very nervous and however, think it was going to turn out. 63 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:04.199 And then the event happened. I think we had closest 64 00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:05.400 six hundred people and it. 65 00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:08.120 Was just it was it was hard, it was slamming, 66 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:12.319 it was back, and it was so back that we 67 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:13.719 didn't know a whole room was going on. 68 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:15.840 I don't And that gets props to you man, and 69 00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:18.520 how you threw the event, dude, Like congratulations, that was 70 00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:19.560 a well done event. 71 00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:21.680 The donut is the regular one. That's just the banger, 72 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:28.560 just the bang ering, just the two t I gotta 73 00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:30.599 build up the buddy. I mean, been making this joke 74 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.120 lately because like especially I haven't call myself coach Groovy 75 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:36.719 because like even like because they will get in his 76 00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:38.039 head too much. I mean, I do the same thing, 77 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.199 so we'll do it to each other. Really, but like 78 00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:41.960 realistically about the weed last year, he was like, man, 79 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:43.360 I don't even know if it's good. I don't want 80 00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:45.400 to enter it. Bro was like take it from the podcast, 81 00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:46.759 just do it. And then he won. He's like, oh 82 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:48.639 ship now and now it's like back to bag. It's 83 00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:50.039 created a monitor. 84 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.400 But that's a hell of accomplishment. It's not easy to 85 00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.159 win events, and like it's something that people strive for. 86 00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:56.400 So congratulations. 87 00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:58.120 Mash batch Cup has been around and it's like I 88 00:03:58.120 --> 00:03:59.840 feel like what I love about hash bash Cup is 89 00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:03.199 it There's two things that I think interesting about it. 90 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:05.520 One that everyone can enter. You got metric, you got 91 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:07.759 care gamers, You've got people growing twelve plants just doing 92 00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:08.759 it for the hell of it, right, so you got 93 00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:11.319 a bunch of entries. Then also, it doesn't come down 94 00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.560 to the numbers, which can be like a little negative 95 00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:17.839 in some lights. But what it's kind of neat about it. 96 00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:19.639 It's like which one stuck out to you? Which two 97 00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.480 did you like the most? It's just old school, which 98 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:23.879 one got me high? Which one of the flavors. 99 00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:24.319 Out the dope is dope? 100 00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:24.480 You know? 101 00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:27.199 Well, I mean so thinking about it, like you said, 102 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:31.279 the numbers, the numbers. Unfortunately, that's a game that's manipulated 103 00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:38.439 by privately owned businesses that want to survive. It's not 104 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:40.759 a state run thing, so it's not consistent across the board. 105 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:42.399 So it's like hard to judge if we do something 106 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:46.319 based off numbers, it's hard to judge that it's going 107 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.360 to be exactly what we're looking for, right And like 108 00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.160 competitions are tough, like and that's why I've kind of 109 00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:57.639 stayed away from them for right now. Like, uh, the 110 00:04:57.639 --> 00:04:59.839 people that put them on, like there's a lot that 111 00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:03.240 go into it, like tons of credit to them, but 112 00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:08.759 like the formats are always left open for people, the 113 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.720 critics to come out and point out, like you know, 114 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:14.000 you favored him, you favored And I'm not saying that's 115 00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:17.279 happening within the industry or within any of the competitions 116 00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:19.160 because the I know the people that put most of 117 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:21.720 them on and they're not easy to do, and you're 118 00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:23.519 always trying to figure out ways to. 119 00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:27.360 Make it as fair as possible and like that. 120 00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:29.680 Again, that's kind of why I've stayed away from him 121 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:33.399 a little bit, is because I don't want that like, oh, 122 00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:35.879 well you did this, so he obviously you wanted your 123 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:38.439 boys to win or like something the London. It's like 124 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:40.839 something that me and AI have to figure out, like 125 00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:45.319 how can we have the most transparent judging of any 126 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.240 event that has happened in the past. 127 00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:49.480 Yeah, I feel because like back in even the high 128 00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:51.319 times days, those are such such pay to play, Like 129 00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:54.120 when that Lylee you'd be hearing like, oh, oh who 130 00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:56.279 was it? I think it was a I don't like 131 00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:58.360 I was that vape company. Church Church wasn't even in 132 00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:01.160 market yet and they like won awards or something like yeah, event, 133 00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.720 so like it does happen. Uh there, but again shouts 134 00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:07.199 the hashbatched cup. I did test this at Chiro, so 135 00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:08.680 it came back with three percent turps. 136 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.600 Its very nice, that's pretty stoked. That's great. 137 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:15.759 That's in like ninety nineteen point six seven percent came 138 00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:17.199 TC very good. 139 00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:19.839 No, no, that was awesome. And then again all that 140 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:21.720 is actually pay to play. All those things are big. 141 00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:24.480 But I even mean like sometimes with numbers, like sometimes 142 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:26.839 I'll like it'll look so good and smell so good 143 00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:29.759 that those numbers while weigh the actual taste sometimes when 144 00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:31.439 you do a straightia. That's why we try to do 145 00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:34.000 like a weighted scale, like with our with our with 146 00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.399 the dabs and then with the flower we've kind of 147 00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:38.839 have just a straight ten across. But it's it's one 148 00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:41.079 of those things where it's like, you know, numbers can 149 00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:43.399 skew things, you know where it's like again and they're 150 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:45.439 all they're all unique, they're all different. Like you know, 151 00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:48.199 a High Times cup is you know, it's got prestigious 152 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.319 to a degree because it's been around forever and you know, 153 00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:51.959 say what you want to say, it's still gets you 154 00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:54.279 a out of marketing, right, It's like any of these cups. 155 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:56.319 And that's like why even like Dad Dave's learning, It's 156 00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:59.079 like even every cup has its own like little thing. 157 00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.199 It's why it's good. Market can't beat that type of publicity. 158 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:05.040 Yeahs like, hey, a bunch of people thought my stuff 159 00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:05.319 was good. 160 00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:07.439 People like, oh, take it, I'm might try it. I'm 161 00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:08.560 living off the high for right now. 162 00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:12.439 And honestly, where this industry is right now, marketing is huge. 163 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.439 Like the difference whether you market your brand or you 164 00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.759 don't market your brand is the difference in survival right now. 165 00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:22.639 Right like there you're able to demand more for your 166 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:25.560 products and you create more demand for your products. So 167 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:33.000 having a good marketing department, having good investment into that 168 00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:36.920 that side of the business like and everything flows together, 169 00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:38.439 like everything works as a wheel. 170 00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:42.120 My marketing will help put sales up. You know, good 171 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:44.959 saying good product will help marketing, which will help sales. 172 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:46.480 Like it's it's like a whole circle. 173 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:47.720 And you're absolutely right. 174 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:49.680 There's a lot of brands that you see in the 175 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:52.160 industry that don't put any dollars, not even a little 176 00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:54.399 bit of dollars towards it. And I understand it is 177 00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:57.639 very tough right now. It's hard in the industry. Prices 178 00:07:57.680 --> 00:07:59.360 per pounder like pretty low and stuff, but. 179 00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:01.800 That's let's be clear, it's like it's not even just 180 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.560 prices per pound. Everybody is having a hard time, from 181 00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:09.519 the nutrient company to the lightning company to the grow 182 00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.279 to like everybody seems to be having the same type 183 00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:14.519 of spectrum of issues. 184 00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:16.800 You know, that makes sense. That makes sense, and much 185 00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:18.279 of the terrors aren't helping either too. 186 00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:21.959 In that that is, we haven't even necessarily like kicked 187 00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:24.519 that in in like seeing what that might look like 188 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:25.000 with us. 189 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:28.199 But it's something we have to be prepared for. 190 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:32.120 So, like the interstage trends are always like like what 191 00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:33.080 is the next big trend? 192 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:35.720 Right? Right, So in my. 193 00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:40.639 My futuristic view, in my projection, like I see the 194 00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:45.320 trend being to be able to grow the highest quality flower, 195 00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:47.960 and like it's weird because like this should make sense, 196 00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:51.960 highest quality flower for the lowest dollar, right, So it's 197 00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:56.080 not necessarily just bottoming out your your your cost per pound, 198 00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:59.639 like just race to the bottom, because there's a threshold 199 00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:04.600 there that uh quality, Like you have to be able 200 00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:06.279 you have to spend x amount of dollars to at 201 00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:08.919 least get to the quality of that is the level to. 202 00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:11.039 Be able to have good marketing behind it or you 203 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:12.600 know what I right, you got to have a good 204 00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:14.679 product to sell because you need that to capital to 205 00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:15.759 market to with. 206 00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:17.879 So it's like, how can we drop the bottom line 207 00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:20.320 and not get down to like the guys that are 208 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:25.480 producing like a thousand lights a week, right, like like 209 00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:28.240 thousands of pounds a month, like, sure they are. They 210 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:32.879 are focused on absolute dollars, bottom dou dollar and they 211 00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:35.080 don't care where the quality is. They need it's a 212 00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:38.159 hit X Y Z in order to get their extractions 213 00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:39.919 or their biomass or whatever they might need. 214 00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:40.159 Right. 215 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.399 So that's where I'm like, Okay, so like the guys 216 00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:47.840 that are surviving right now, right, the guys that are 217 00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:51.279 doing really well, maintain that quality. 218 00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:53.720 But figuring out how to reduce that bottom line is 219 00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:54.840 as far as possible. 220 00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:59.200 Yeah, it's got to be tough, it's it's it's gonna 221 00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:01.919 be interesting on the next this whole year place out 222 00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:06.600 moving forward with uh uh the industry, we'll see, we'll see. 223 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:09.279 But like events like years though, help these brands with 224 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:11.799 marketing advertisement. And that's why I'm thinking, I think a 225 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:14.200 lot of brands should look at into events because events 226 00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:16.960 are great for networking in for marketing, and not only 227 00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:18.600 do you get your brand out there, but then you're 228 00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:20.200 able to meet up people. But you got to vent 229 00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:24.080 the event though, because some events don't have as good 230 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:27.320 like reach sure many people there? What do you whatever? 231 00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:28.519 You want to call it like yours. Like you said, 232 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:30.519 you pretty much packed that place. I was like, I 233 00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:32.360 think it was solely you couldn't have anyone else in there. 234 00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:35.840 I like we could have, but like the top floor 235 00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:38.399 wasn't utilized at all. So this time, like when we 236 00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:41.000 talked about this earlier, like making sure everybody knows, hey. 237 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:44.519 There's what's going on than just the ballroom. 238 00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:47.360 Yeah, so if you know, there's an upstairs, the big 239 00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:50.879 room on the side, which is the pike, No, the pikes. 240 00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:55.919 So there's there's the So you walking into the left 241 00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:57.720 is the ballroom and to the right is the front room. 242 00:10:57.720 --> 00:10:59.440 In the front room this time, we're gonna have Woljoe X. 243 00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:01.720 They're gonna have that front room. They're gonna have a 244 00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:03.679 dad bar, and they're gonna have doughnut bar. They're gonna 245 00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:07.679 have quite a bit set up in there.

Like why why are they so great? 342 00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:50.480 Why do people have so much good a good time 343 00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:52.919 with it?
