Speaker 1: Twas the night before Cushmus read by Canadave and Groovy,
Speaker 1: a mechanic as special. Twas the night before Cushmus went
Speaker 1: all through the place.
Speaker 2: Not a reefer was smoking, not a blunt to the face.
Speaker 1: The joints and bowls were hung by chimney with care.
Speaker 2: In hopes that Saint Snoop soon would be there.
Speaker 1: All the buds were nestled and snug in their papers.
Speaker 3: While dreaming of plants as high as skyscrapers.
Speaker 1: Mama entered drug rug and I, in my gas mask.
Speaker 2: Had just smoked out ourselves. Now I forgot the next task.
Speaker 1: When put on the glass, smoke arose from the shatter.
Speaker 2: Almost died from the rip, like what the hell's the matter?
Speaker 1: Away to the bong. I flew like a flash.
Speaker 2: Tore open the bag and threw up the stash.
Speaker 1: The bong hit the breast like the old stoner blow.
Speaker 2: Gave the cluster of edibles to everyone below.
Speaker 3: When what, wait, what my eyes should appear but a
Speaker 3: custom rig and tons of smoke to clear with a.
Speaker 1: Little heady driver, so stoned and so slow.
Speaker 2: I knew in a moment it must be Saint Snoop
Speaker 2: for show.
Speaker 1: More higher than eagles his ears as they rang.
Speaker 2: And he coughed and spouted and called them some names.
Speaker 1: Now stasher, now blaster, now pressure and spliffin.
Speaker 2: On, tuli on, stupid on, dunder and mifflin.
Speaker 1: To the top of the torch, to the top of
Speaker 1: the nail.
Speaker 3: Now puff away, puff away, Oh wait, stale.
Speaker 1: As dry nug after the harvest of slurri cane.
Speaker 2: Five, when they meet with a press rosin to the sky, so.
Speaker 1: Up to the colas top the tri coombes, they grow.
Speaker 2: With a bag full of weed, and Saint Snoop baked too.
Speaker 1: Realized during trimming Snoop must be the plug.
Speaker 2: The pressing and smashing of each little nug.
Speaker 1: As I drew in my head and was turning around.
Speaker 2: Down the chimney, Saint Snoop came with a pound.
Speaker 1: He was all dressed in fur, pimped from his shoes
Speaker 1: to his suit.
Speaker 2: And his clothes were all designer with bands full of lute.
Speaker 1: A bundle of weight was flung on his back.
Speaker 2: And he looked like a player may be addicted to crack.
Speaker 1: His eyes, How glossy cot mouth, How merry his pupils
Speaker 1: were like roses, his rillow still cherried. He opened his
Speaker 1: mouth and said like two thousand of bow.
Speaker 2: And the ash on his shirt was as white as
Speaker 2: the snow.
Speaker 1: The smoke of the pipe he held tight in his.
Speaker 2: Teeth, and that smoke and circled his head like a wreath.
Speaker 1: He had a blown face and a little round doobie.
Speaker 2: That ashed when he laughed, like a stoner watching a movie.
Speaker 1: Joy was chubby and plump, right off top shelf.
Speaker 2: And I laughed when I saw him, so lifted myself.
Speaker 1: The squint of his eye, the twist of his head.
Speaker 2: Soon gave me some tree, now nothing to dread.
Speaker 1: He spoke not a word, but went straight to his.
Speaker 3: Spark and filled all the stockings with live resin and carts.
Speaker 1: And laying his topicals aside of his nose.
Speaker 2: And give and giving a dab up the banger. He rose, He.
Speaker 1: Sprung to his caddy, to his squad, gave a whistle.
Speaker 2: And away they all blew like the way of a missile.
Speaker 1: But I heard him exclaim as he blazed out of sight.
Speaker 2: Happy you all smoke right, hey.
Speaker 3: Yuh oh, happy cushion.
Speaker 1: At the same time, I hope you all enjoy it.
Speaker 1: They're gonna do a live read today. But to be
Speaker 1: honest with you. I had a migrant few days ago,
Speaker 1: and I don't think I fully bounced back, and I
Speaker 1: just had enough energy just to get this recording done
Speaker 1: and kind of just talk about this year, I mean grateful.
Speaker 1: So I didn't have the energy, and then Dave came
Speaker 1: right from his day jobs over like, we didn't even
Speaker 1: have the outfits ready, so we're like, we're just playing
Speaker 1: the video, y'all. So y'all got the video.
Speaker 3: You guys will get a remix next year.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, we think we're gonna re edit it
Speaker 1: because some of those numbers didn't make sense and some
Speaker 1: of those rhymes made me cry.
Speaker 3: I was like, but also, I think we might do
Speaker 3: another song or two.
Speaker 1: Though, yeah, we did pretty good. We've made jokes about
Speaker 1: making a Christmas EP. Dude, this year was just not
Speaker 1: the year. There's been a lot of stuff going on,
Speaker 1: but a lot of grateful things to be grateful for
Speaker 1: and a lot of hardships. But today we're here to
Speaker 1: just kind of like rap and say thanks for the
Speaker 1: whole year. And if you're listening now, or if you're listening,
Speaker 1: probably towards the new year, because let's be real here,
Speaker 1: it's holiday season.
Speaker 3: Man, it is like, I mean, this is released on
Speaker 3: Christmas Day, so I got a happy Merry Christmas to everybody.
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas if that's your holiday, Happy Hanukah because I
Speaker 1: think that's still going on, or just to end it.
Speaker 3: No, I think it starts actually on Christmas issue, so it's.
Speaker 1: Going on and then that's the Qui Kwanza or whatever
Speaker 1: other holidays you celebrate.
Speaker 3: Out, Happy holidays everyone out there. Yeah, I'm a big
Speaker 3: holiday in a happy New year.
Speaker 1: And that's not politically correct, you know, that's just like
Speaker 1: how I believe. Please, don't someone say the politically Listen,
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't care, you know, I like them all,
Speaker 1: you know. I'm just happy to you know, and be
Speaker 1: able to do this another year, which is sweet, groovy,
Speaker 1: is still alive. I'm still doing music, you know anything.
Speaker 1: I feel like I've just started with all these projects
Speaker 1: just kind of nice and refreshing.
Speaker 3: No, it is, man, It's it's been a grateful year.
Speaker 3: Sad year, good year, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean it has ups and downs, but a lot
Speaker 1: to be grateful for, right, even from all the loss
Speaker 1: or even from all the things that's happened this year,
Speaker 1: I've tried to find some lighting at all. Right, Like,
Speaker 1: even like with losing Kilo and losing with the loss
Speaker 1: that I I've had with like other people, it just
Speaker 1: kind of like makes you grateful for the people that
Speaker 1: are still around, that you still have some people that
Speaker 1: I still have, like you, I still have my mother,
Speaker 1: Like I still got people, I still got my community. Right,
Speaker 1: the fact that we're able to do this, it's just
Speaker 1: like I'm trying to be more grateful for things, cause
Speaker 1: you just never really know how long it lasts. You
Speaker 1: never really know when things are just gonna change. So
Speaker 1: you just got to be grateful every moment, right, And
Speaker 1: I think that's what I've learned this year, just being
Speaker 1: grateful for like being more appreciative, you know why, not
Speaker 1: necessarily being so like why am I not here, but
Speaker 1: being thankful I'm here because if I looked back five
Speaker 1: years ago, I would have been like, damn, because if
Speaker 1: you look at watching this video right when I'm just
Speaker 1: like looking at analyzing this whole thing, rant that's still
Speaker 1: eventually what my other room looks like. But it's like
Speaker 1: that's so that's all I had going on back there,
Speaker 1: that we built this. I could just be grateful because
Speaker 1: like even back then, we were like, you know, pretty
Speaker 1: grateful for things. So I think sometimes I sometimes we
Speaker 1: get ahead of myself and trying to be like why
Speaker 1: am I not here yet? So my new step is
Speaker 1: just being like appreciative of being where you're at.
Speaker 3: You know. Yeah, that video is a little throwback that's
Speaker 3: from four years ago.
Speaker 1: It's like our first like one of our first recordings too,
Speaker 1: because I look at all the bud like overlays and
Speaker 1: I'm like, it was just that was when we were
Speaker 1: using the other softwares, like that was in the other room.
Speaker 1: That was just when we were sitting next to each
Speaker 1: other very early on. And it's funny because when we
Speaker 1: back then we were like, wow, we're still we're learning
Speaker 1: so much because we were we were still moving and
Speaker 1: so it's like it's always.
Speaker 3: A learning curve, bro, No, it is. And then we
Speaker 3: went to the couch and I.
Speaker 1: Think we had any partners at this point, or maybe
Speaker 1: we had one and the one that like screwed us over,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Honestly, I don't think they it might have been.
Speaker 1: I don't. My whole point was who knows the whole
Speaker 1: who cares? Like we were just starting to record it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they did. I think they started in Channa that
Speaker 3: year twenty one.
Speaker 1: I mean, dude, you' getting too specific. I don't care
Speaker 1: about the twin is that we were still very new.
Speaker 1: We you know, we didn't have any relationships in the community.
Speaker 1: We only had a couple of people listening, you know,
Speaker 1: and then we have we.
Speaker 3: Had like one half listeners.
Speaker 1: One of them was me, Yeah, right.
Speaker 3: Who's the other half? I don't know my cam Yeah, probably,
Speaker 3: you know, it's just it just shows man, It's no, It's.
Speaker 1: Just that's that's the hustle. Man. You just keep you know, trying,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 3: Keep moving forward, keep pushing forward. And that's that's like
Speaker 3: been this year. And we're gonna go through some of
Speaker 3: some of the quarters through the year, probably kick it
Speaker 3: off with jan going through January. I know, there's a
Speaker 3: couple a couple of cool podcasts we released in January.
Speaker 3: We had uh Patty row a founder of the Pink
Speaker 3: Sash ps now, and then also Pam Green, Pam who
Speaker 3: you probably have seen, We had her on as well
Speaker 3: as a joint podcast, and we learned about Pam's cancer
Speaker 3: and then we learned more about ps society when it
Speaker 3: was in Cali and now it's here. We're gonna have
Speaker 3: to get them back on going into twenty twenty five
Speaker 3: because they kind of have revamped a little bit as
Speaker 3: well too. They don't go by Pink Session no more. They're,
Speaker 3: like I was just saying, the PS Society, and they're
Speaker 3: now a nonprofits they weren't previously. And we've helped partner
Speaker 3: with two of their recent events, and the one was
Speaker 3: their White Elephant Party that was this past month in December,
Speaker 3: which they did.
Speaker 2: So shout out to PS.
Speaker 3: As a society and them over there. We love what
Speaker 3: they do and much respect.
Speaker 1: But then we built a really great relationship with them. Shoutout,
Speaker 1: Shout out Patty, shout the whole team over there. It's
Speaker 1: been great. And actually, you know, leading right out of that,
Speaker 1: I mean, we had what was that at the beginning
Speaker 1: of the year. That's cannon Con. Cannon Con is the
Speaker 1: beginning every year, isn't it January?
Speaker 3: Cannicons Canicon's usually in the summer.
Speaker 1: Oh, but it's weird because we put out the Exotic
Speaker 1: Interview on February. That's the reason why I could put
Speaker 1: that though.
Speaker 3: Well that was from Biscon.
Speaker 1: Oh. For some reason I thought that was kan.
Speaker 3: We did see him at Canonkon too. Okay, right, I'm
Speaker 3: just yeah, that was from biscont. Yeah, you know that's
Speaker 3: from Biscon of twenty three when we did the interview,
Speaker 3: because we also released a hard Dean interview right before
Speaker 3: that with Brittany who we had on and we did that.
Speaker 3: That's how we built a relationship with Hard Dean was
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three and then moving into twenty twenty four,
Speaker 3: so we got to have the hard Deen and.
Speaker 1: Then yaw Brittany. She's always good. And if you're out
Speaker 1: in Vegas, stop by. They might still be doing the
Speaker 1: Michanic cast discount. Just mention it. See if they'll do aning.
Speaker 1: If not, sorry, we tried.
Speaker 3: We tried.
Speaker 1: Now we'll try to get it. But they all do
Speaker 1: have a good variety and they have no staff, so
Speaker 1: very worth checking it out no matter what.
Speaker 3: But yes, the Exoctity Gen Next interview was dope. That
Speaker 3: was a great interview.
Speaker 1: Yeah, talking to Mike was great, and like you know,
Speaker 1: I unfortunately am stuck behind the camera with a lot
Speaker 1: of these things for a lot of these fun things,
Speaker 1: but to day was able to chit chat with him
Speaker 1: and I think that's really cool because you're the Genesis
Speaker 1: and you've grown his stuff. And since then, you know,
Speaker 1: since that interview, you won the cup at Hashbags. I
Speaker 1: know I'm jumping a little ahead, but I'm just tying
Speaker 1: it together because to really think how cool that interview
Speaker 1: was now to be like have that conversation, you know.
Speaker 3: No, it was honestly awesome because I own a lot
Speaker 3: of his genetics. We talked about the Great Jubilee. I
Speaker 3: think that was coming out. I know in the time
Speaker 3: when we did the interview, he was exhausted in twenty
Speaker 3: three getting ready for the holidays, and he was like
Speaker 3: pretty much taking time off.
Speaker 1: Ye can we even grab that conversation.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was honestly great. Like Gruvy said, you know,
Speaker 3: I've been a huge fan of his for years now,
Speaker 3: and after being able to use his product, and.
Speaker 1: Oh vi, since I small that bo no, I mean,
Speaker 1: shits just lapt. I mean that Rainbow Ship is still
Speaker 1: one of my favorites. Like it really is, like all jokes.
Speaker 3: Asiety, it's such a good one. It's such a good straining.
Speaker 3: That's the one straight the reason why I started going
Speaker 3: with the exacting because he won the Rainbow Ship back
Speaker 3: in like seventeen, I think at the Michigan High Times
Speaker 3: Cup no More, you know, which I really loved, which
Speaker 3: I thought was cool. This year, something I want to
Speaker 3: talk about bulk Rosen. Bulk Rosen started taking off this
Speaker 3: year because that's when we first started going to see
Speaker 3: it was this year at the Hive. We talked about
Speaker 3: that in February, which is crazy because you know who
Speaker 3: doesn't like some good bulk Rosen, like straight.
Speaker 1: Up yeah, I mean, shout out the Hive and we've
Speaker 1: seen in a couple other places, although I feel like
Speaker 1: HI figured it out how to do it, because I
Speaker 1: feel like they're the white people who do it strong with
Speaker 1: like a lot of variety. I've seen a couple plays
Speaker 1: do a little bit, but never really the same way.
Speaker 1: So shout out to Hive hopefully get them out of
Speaker 1: twenty five we've been talking.
Speaker 3: Yep, yep, yep. And then we also dived into the
Speaker 3: Facebook group called the Blacklist of m I.
Speaker 1: Yeah, shout out to our friends with the Mfire. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're partners with us. Add it off for a while.
Speaker 1: They're great people over there, they're mid Michigan. Check them out.
Speaker 3: And they started this group because as you know, if
Speaker 3: you've been listening to us and paying attention to some
Speaker 3: of our podcasts, it's been a wild year, not just
Speaker 3: this year, but last year. People aren't getting paid their
Speaker 3: bills when they're getting product, so you're giving them the
Speaker 3: product and then you're not getting paid and that's not
Speaker 3: a sustainable business model for any business in any industry.
Speaker 2: So it's a great group.
Speaker 3: You have to show proof of who's not paying your bills,
Speaker 3: but you're able to talk about it, and then everybody
Speaker 3: else can avoid said brands. And then there's some brands
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 1: That's just a good way to be able to iron
Speaker 1: out your dirty laundry without like, but in a healthy way,
Speaker 1: like because you're letting people in the business know what's
Speaker 1: going on, because this is just doing shady business. You're
Speaker 1: not like throwing people under the bus because they, like
Speaker 1: you know, they're doing something that you just don't agree with,
Speaker 1: Like this, shoul's not cool if you're not paying people
Speaker 1: like you should that should be out there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it should not be just doubted.
Speaker 1: You owe people fifty to one hundred thousand dollars. You're
Speaker 1: not should be making deals still, which we hear all
Speaker 1: the time it's ridiculous. I mean, unfortunately, I understand you
Speaker 1: have a couple of bad things, but you can't screw
Speaker 1: over people because you had some bass. You gotta pay
Speaker 1: your debts and then figure it out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because in the business dis boat what they do,
Speaker 3: they can't pay.
Speaker 1: So active our facebooks will go check it out. Blacklig
Speaker 1: a blacklist of am I cannabis.
Speaker 3: Yes, sorry, it is.
Speaker 2: It's something that's not gonna stop, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But like and it's crazy because like there's so
Speaker 1: many dirty practices out there in business in general that
Speaker 1: you think that because of like how the caregiver system was,
Speaker 1: how it was just kind of like hey, five people
Speaker 1: just like selling to sell it. Like now it's become
Speaker 1: such a business, you'll forget that people bringing those business
Speaker 1: those business tactics, and this isn't just like looking out
Speaker 1: for one each other anymore, you know, which is a shame.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's a business, right, they
Speaker 1: got to survive, So you kind of give those more
Speaker 1: cutthroat people, you know, it's not as much of a
Speaker 1: side hustle anymore.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, man, Absolutely, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that was a great Honestly, we honestly, we
Speaker 1: had some cool interviews this year. Now I'm thinking about
Speaker 1: it because right after that, it looks like we had
Speaker 1: Huna and since that, yeah, shout out to Ross, Xavier,
Speaker 1: the whole teams, you know, everyone, because like I think
Speaker 1: they even added someone because like since then, we've seen
Speaker 1: them multiple times, a couple of cups, they went cups,
Speaker 1: We've seen them on the podcast. Uh, we got to
Speaker 1: smoke that hash wrap like four or five this year.
Speaker 1: I think I did a full.
Speaker 4: Melt one with him at one of the events, I'm
Speaker 4: pretty sure, which they don't really make it the metric
Speaker 4: because I think they're really hard to keep stable and
Speaker 4: he only had like one or two things to market,
Speaker 4: but man, but they delicious.
Speaker 1: They are some of my favorite products that they ever
Speaker 1: come back. They are hash wraps that you literally put
Speaker 1: your butt in and you wrapped your hash around and
Speaker 1: you're these you just stuffed and you smoked it like
Speaker 1: the special way and oh so delicious. The whole thing they.
Speaker 3: Still like sh was gas when we did it, it
Speaker 3: was good though, it was.
Speaker 1: Ye and again like that's why I love about these podcasts,
Speaker 1: Like who Knows is like one of those brands that
Speaker 1: we just connected with. So shout out to the whole team.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Bross was actually on one of our live streams
Speaker 3: for about the whole Pocket episode we had him on,
Speaker 3: had Me Connect Puffin. It just aired a couple of
Speaker 3: weeks ago. So check that out.
Speaker 1: We aired, yeah, because I cleaned up the audio and yeah,
Speaker 1: it's hard. I'll listen to.
Speaker 3: Check that shit out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then unfortunately, right after that, we have rip
Speaker 1: Jeans Johnson Clair. So must Johnson Claire must pass away.
Speaker 1: If you don't know who Johnson Claire is, he is
Speaker 1: the one of the big proponents and catalysts to the
Speaker 1: whole movement here in Michigan. Because of what happened to him,
Speaker 1: I'm forgetting on the day right now, but it's what
Speaker 1: sparked Hashbash him getting arrested for two joints and getting
Speaker 1: thrown into jail. Granted, he eventually was released because of
Speaker 1: all this activism and stuff, but he did serve time.
Speaker 1: I don't I'm blanking all the specifics right now, but
Speaker 1: we did a whole episode with mister Hashbash. I researched
Speaker 1: mechanic ass mister Hashbash, where he breaks into the history
Speaker 1: better than anyone ever could you know, And like simply
Speaker 1: that was honestly, that was actually a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: that episode because I was so sick. Now that was fun.
Speaker 3: Fact, Croofy gave me COVID head day. You could watch.
Speaker 3: You can watch this deteriorate throughout the EI.
Speaker 1: Just everyone knows David loves pick. I mean, and I'm
Speaker 1: fine with that, but I I just want to let
Speaker 1: everyone know that this was very early COVID. This is
Speaker 1: one apparently anyone knew like what it felt like yet,
Speaker 1: because I was like, I didn't even I just like
Speaker 1: start to feel flush. I'm like, I'm fine by the
Speaker 1: end of the episode. So I was like, no, that's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You watch you watch I watched me
Speaker 1: get sick. You watch me feel COVID for the first time.
Speaker 3: And that was the worst time I had COVID ever too.
Speaker 3: Is that that was the first time? Yeah, no, no,
Speaker 3: thank you. That's when I lost.
Speaker 1: My coworker, a newborn got it because I was just
Speaker 1: this guy was I thought. I just I was like, dude,
Speaker 1: I if newborn is sick, I'm going to freak out.
Speaker 1: Like I was freaking out. Man. I felt so horrible.
Speaker 1: Thanks thanks for render.
Speaker 3: Merry Christmas.
Speaker 1: What are good friends? There to remind you of your
Speaker 1: worst times. I just remember why you're recording live.
Speaker 2: What we were so excited for.
Speaker 3: The interview was so great, and I just I remember
Speaker 3: that episode, yeah.
Speaker 1: Because that I mean talking to mister Hashbash, especially before,
Speaker 1: that was our first time we really before we really
Speaker 1: knew him and just knew the history. So it was
Speaker 1: like now we know him. Like it's just like we
Speaker 1: were so honored to be able to get that first
Speaker 1: hand history lesson. And that's why you're right, that's why
Speaker 1: it was our longest episode ever. Its two and a
Speaker 1: half hours, because I didn't want to stop. I was
Speaker 1: there to listen. I was there just getting sick. Apparently
Speaker 1: you were.
Speaker 3: You watched the watch because it was great to have
Speaker 3: on record, you know absolutely. I'm just always going to
Speaker 3: remember that episode is the COVID episode.
Speaker 2: It is the mister Hashbash episode.
Speaker 3: But I'm glad he didn't come by. Oh my god,
Speaker 3: same groovy. I'm so happy on that it all worked out.
Speaker 1: That was right in the Hashbash Cup and that's when
Speaker 1: you won.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that was got it.
Speaker 1: I gotta do it. Oh. I was gonna say go
Speaker 1: ahead and grab that trophy, but it's not here.
Speaker 3: I need to bring it here more often. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: start doing that again.
Speaker 1: Super you don't have to. It's glass bro as you
Speaker 1: take a picture and put it over there and frame
Speaker 1: it or something.
Speaker 3: No, I'm gonna set it right here.
Speaker 1: You could just frame it like right there and put
Speaker 1: it like.
Speaker 3: Right here.
Speaker 1: You do what have your heart desires. It's just if
Speaker 1: it breaks, No, I don't want to hear it on record.
Speaker 3: We'll blame Groovy because somehow he'll he'll he'll hit.
Speaker 2: The table here.
Speaker 1: You're crushing it so far the episode, Yeah, whenever, last
Speaker 1: time we live stream, he like stood up, knocked my
Speaker 1: thing off, unplugged something and pugged the mic UPGNS.
Speaker 3: What really happened was I unplugged it, put my computer
Speaker 3: charger in, and then I flung over the mic stand
Speaker 3: and everything else. But right before we recorded this episode
Speaker 3: he unplugs something too that shot some shock lives through
Speaker 3: something crushing him. But yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll still
Speaker 3: blame him if he breaks it, even if even if
Speaker 3: he's not even if he's not bio like damnit movie.
Speaker 3: But yeah, no, no, that was a huge win. And I'll
Speaker 3: speaking of the exotic that was the Bangering strain. That one.
Speaker 3: You've probably heard me talk about it once or twice
Speaker 3: on the on the stream. If you haven't, definitely highly
Speaker 3: recommend uh you tune in in every Saturday nine am
Speaker 3: each year. We might have a special guest of the
Speaker 3: Saturday as well too. But yeah, yeah, the Bangering man.
Speaker 3: I felt so sweet win in that shout out to
Speaker 3: everyone that was with me.
Speaker 1: That was an honor just because in my in my opinion,
Speaker 1: I feel like Hashbash to me getting into this like
Speaker 1: cannabis world, right, Like the first event I really knew
Speaker 1: about publicly was Hashbash, right, just getting going to u
Speaker 1: M and getting high in public and thinking that shit
Speaker 1: was crazy cool, right, Like, eventually I learned about the
Speaker 1: activism part, but at first I didn't really understand what
Speaker 1: it was about. They were just like, yo, you've never
Speaker 1: been a hash Bash?
Speaker 2: Yeah wa ann Arbor what right?
Speaker 1: Exactly? I had some friends and Arbor like Nate Dog Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you know, I am talking to him forever. I
Speaker 1: see him some randomly all the time.
Speaker 4: Though.
Speaker 1: I randomly was just see him like what in the
Speaker 1: DM scene but shut out, my dude, And then he
Speaker 1: was like, hey, come out. You know, actually Jesse Rests Soul,
Speaker 1: and then I went out for my first time, and
Speaker 1: I just thought it was a really cool thing, and
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, this is really cool, you know,
Speaker 1: like smoking Whedon public, just being part of the community.
Speaker 1: I didn't really understand what that was about. I mean,
Speaker 1: I had to be like fourteen, thirteen, sixteen, I don't know, sixteen.
Speaker 3: With Nate, oh, you have me, eighteen nineteen.
Speaker 1: The year Oh, I was like age. So I mean
Speaker 1: in sixteen, this wasn't that long ago. So the hashpash
Speaker 1: was going on for a while, so I knew what
Speaker 1: it was because you'd see it on the news, but
Speaker 1: I didn't really.
Speaker 3: Got thirteen or fourteen.
Speaker 1: I really can't remember.
Speaker 3: It was thirteen or fourteen.
Speaker 1: Maybe either way. My whole point is, yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: it would be, because I don't know. My whole point
Speaker 1: is that that was kind of when I first understood
Speaker 1: there was this community of people who like smoked bud
Speaker 1: and did all this stuff and fought, did all this stuff.
Speaker 1: So it was really my first introduction to it. So
Speaker 1: I think it's such an honor few to win it
Speaker 1: because for me, it was like I still look at it.
Speaker 1: It's probably the most if not predominant, the most well
Speaker 1: known one here in Michigan.
Speaker 3: It's one of the more prestigious ones that they have around.
Speaker 3: I'd say, yeah, because it's been around the longest, kind
Speaker 3: of lost its credibility too, And this one is a
Speaker 3: Michigan based on the Hashbash. You do have a lot
Speaker 3: of it, and.
Speaker 1: I love that they blend the You know, obviously there's
Speaker 1: hash Bash and there's hash Bash Cup, and now obviously
Speaker 1: it's all kind If you've been around Michigan, you know
Speaker 1: that there's more like the Metric event, which is.
Speaker 3: The and then got Minal Street Fair to which probably got.
Speaker 1: The actual activist area, and then you got well that's
Speaker 1: what I was saying, Monroe Street Fair, excuse me, is
Speaker 1: like the Metric area, and then you've got the actual
Speaker 1: Hashbash activism, and then you got the Hashbash Cup. But
Speaker 1: they're all really one big celebration for cannabis, because if
Speaker 1: you really think about it, they're like different levels. Right,
Speaker 1: we're celebrating the activism because this is where it came from.
Speaker 1: We still think the fight for We're celebrating metric because look,
Speaker 1: we may we got it to the point where it
Speaker 1: can be recreationally used you're not getting you know, it
Speaker 1: really has a big step. And then we go over
Speaker 1: the Carriger, we go over the Hashbash Cup, like boom
Speaker 1: carriers alive and strong because they grow crime.
Speaker 3: But even metric uh enters the hashbash Cup though. That's
Speaker 3: why I like it. Everyone can enter. No, that's how
Speaker 3: it's like, that's where it's foundation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no one looks at that.
Speaker 1: It's like metric event. It's not. It's an open event
Speaker 1: like the country, but the event itself is more small
Speaker 1: batche you know what I mean, like and just celebrating
Speaker 1: smoking really and that's why I love about all the events.
Speaker 1: Everyone just smoking, but like and at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, like there are still some hay you know
Speaker 1: this side this side, these little internal battles, but at
Speaker 1: the end the day. That's why one day I feel
Speaker 1: like one day everyone's just kind of like okay whatever,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You see Metric people at
Speaker 1: the hash bash Cup, you see hash bash Cup people
Speaker 1: at the at the Honora set Fair, you see the
Speaker 1: activism people ever like.
Speaker 2: Because it's still together.
Speaker 1: Right, But that's I feel like, it's that's why I
Speaker 1: love that event, because that's the one day we remember
Speaker 1: what the fucking point is because every other time sometimes
Speaker 1: we forget that it is all for that, all for
Speaker 1: the same cause these little like these little differences don't
Speaker 1: mean anything to the outside people who don't smoke weed.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, And that's the one thing I feel like
Speaker 1: Hashbash we remember, oh yeah right, it's it's us versus
Speaker 1: the people who don't understand the plant, not us against
Speaker 1: each other, against them because you know, you're losing your numbers.
Speaker 1: And I think that's that's like one of my favorite events,
Speaker 1: to the fact that you wanted, the fact that we
Speaker 1: were able to talk to mister Hashbash and like years
Speaker 1: ago and kind of full circled it. I feel like
Speaker 1: because that was one of my first I really enjoyed
Speaker 1: that episode. You know, during that time we had them
Speaker 1: and Pop Brothers of Law, we were just starting to
Speaker 1: get like real names on. We're like, well, this is crazy,
Speaker 1: mister Hashbash, you know what I mean? Grow yeah, good stuff.
Speaker 1: And then right after Hashbash we did MCP for our
Speaker 1: first time. Second time you can puff was right around there.
Speaker 1: Second there might have been second, yeah, yeah, because we
Speaker 1: did it.
Speaker 3: The first time in the fall of the previous it
Speaker 3: was the room that was raining that time, and we
Speaker 3: donated to the Redemption fund. I believe one of the
Speaker 3: funds we donated to. That's what we're doing, the five

Speaker 1: And like going ont of that was end of spring,
Speaker 1: going into June's this was like when like events started
Speaker 1: going crazy. Yep.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Michigan became the more cannabis market. I remember I
Speaker 3: think from.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe Jim May. It was a tough time for
Speaker 1: me personally. I kind of don't really remember. Made a
Speaker 1: Junish that's when. Yeah, that was a rough time for me.
Speaker 1: So I was like, we didn't do any like episodes

Speaker 1: he has knowledge in the solving game.
Speaker 3: So knowledgeable.
Speaker 1: Still love that Lilac Cookies still in our favorites.

Speaker 3: very knowledgeable, like you said, groovy, like he knows the
Speaker 3: ship and he's looking for the best collapse out there.
Speaker 1: And what I love about Scotty too is during this
Speaker 1: like I feel like Solventless Rush where everyone was trying
Speaker 1: to get on the bandwagon even though they weren't beforehand.
Speaker 1: Like all the people who were doing solventless before shout
Speaker 1: out like they've been doing it because this is what
Speaker 1: I believed in, right, But that's why I love Scotty
Speaker 1: because he believed in it. He likes how clean he
Speaker 1: get his solvents he likes that. He he believes in
Speaker 1: his product, and honestly, that's why I believe his product
Speaker 1: so much. And then that's why you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: like especially because we were even on that solving less kick,
Speaker 1: and then like, be honest, I never lost live resence.
Speaker 1: It was just hard for me to then go to
Speaker 1: find the right quality because when you know, it was
Speaker 1: really hard to find quality live resience during that whole
Speaker 1: rush of like CRC crap, right, But then I found Scotty.
Speaker 1: He doesn't do cr cs. You know, there's still like
Speaker 1: you know, you know, True North, and there's other brands
Speaker 1: out there, right, not saying all of them, but he
Speaker 1: came in like just the right time.
Speaker 3: No, honestly, he he does. And I want to give
Speaker 3: a shot out to his back. His edibles, he does vapes,
Speaker 3: and he does those rocks, right, those bunts yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh, those cigars.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Like he's got a wide variety of product and
Speaker 3: all of them are really good. I like the edibles

Speaker 1: Scottie and Tyler are at the same time. We talked
Speaker 1: about collaborations in the industry and how powerful collaborations can be,
Speaker 1: you know, because they're bringing two expertise together, it gets
Speaker 1: even better.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, And I think that's where you see
Speaker 3: some of some of these best products that hit the
Speaker 3: market that people talk about, is these collabs because they're
Speaker 3: so highly allocated because there's only so much of it.
Speaker 3: Is this string going to be grown again? Is it
Speaker 3: not gonna be grown again? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: There's so many different factors. Is it grown at a
Speaker 3: certain level, We're gonna get the best turp and return
Speaker 3: on it? You know, you don't know. So when you
Speaker 3: have these great minds come together, you get some quality products.
Speaker 3: I mean some off the bat you're gonna talk about
Speaker 3: are going to be like the Lilac cookies, the Lilac diesel.
Speaker 3: These collabs that Canny does ones with Kinship and I'm
Speaker 3: blinking on the other one and the other collab or
Speaker 3: like Maddy B and east Side Alchemy, like that's a
Speaker 3: great collaborate there and everybody, Yeah, right, exactly exactly. So
Speaker 3: there's like so many good collabs out there, and when
Speaker 3: you find those.
Speaker 1: Do them all the time. It just kind of keeps it.
Speaker 1: It really does keep it fresh too, because like you know,
Speaker 1: what if you're like, oh that's a cool genetic what
Speaker 1: if I washed that? What if this? You just are
Speaker 1: collaborations in the industry. I Also it's like the best
Speaker 1: marketing you could ever do. Because one person knows this
Speaker 1: one and likes this one, they're probably by this is
Speaker 1: croxy gonna give you a chance.

Speaker 3: for weed related offenses. He literally donates money out of
Speaker 3: every sale of his stuff, right off the top, not

Speaker 3: the top, which is like unbelievable of how much stuff
Speaker 3: that they do giving back And I love his story

Speaker 3: the procedures they go through, some false positives, false negatives
Speaker 3: we learned about.
Speaker 1: It's really cool to hear about testing, especially in the
Speaker 1: new where we're still developing standards and still figuring out
Speaker 1: and where nothing's been standardized, but they're trying their best
Speaker 1: to figure it out. So really cool. Sky's a pro.
Speaker 1: Definitely like what they're doing over there, Cairo Slabs, so
