There you go, so he learned his eyes. 258 00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:18.639 Then he had to go back to Charlestown. How did 259 00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:19.840 you do that? How did you swing that person? 260 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:28.159 Great, that's a great question, because Gemini in Brooklyn, the 261 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:30.159 kid from Charlestown. You could do this on the on 262 00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:31.480 the guy going to school in Brookline. 263 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:33.679 So go ahead set that up for me for a minute. 264 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:35.960 I mean you've got to just give me go back. 265 00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:37.600 To high school.

And I also danced with the Boston Ballet 273 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:51.159 during that period, So. 274 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:52.559 You didn't get your killing. 275 00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.240 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I had it toughened me off. It's 276 00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:59.600 funny enough that Charlestown is actually very supportive of the ballet, 277 00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:04.000 where Client was much less supportive of the Ballet. Charlestown. 278 00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:07.039 I played Little League right there by the Shrafts Building 279 00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:10.519 with Marty Fabiano, my coach, one of the few Italians 280 00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:15.399 in Uhtown, Charlestown, and and you know, I kind of 281 00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:18.360 had to play both worlds. But when I was playing 282 00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:22.360 some baseball out there right by then now on a 283 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:25.159 core casino, this kid on my own team comes running out, 284 00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:29.320 like the first day of of practice, and he stops 285 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:31.960 at me at second base and he lifts up his 286 00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:33.960 sock and he's got like a pocket knife. But you know, 287 00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:35.799 I'm ten years old, so It's like I hit a 288 00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:39.919 knife and he goes, yeah, f and liberal, and I'm ten. 289 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:41.759 I'm like, I have no I'm like his guy's on 290 00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:43.360 my team and he goes out to the outfield. So 291 00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:44.799 then of course I got to go ask my own man. 292 00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:47.159 I'm like, Pops, first of all, why is a guy 293 00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:49.360 on my team like threatening me with a knife, and 294 00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:51.240 why is he calling me a liberal? 295 00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:51.919 And what do you say? 296 00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:53.879 I was like, you know, he walked me through the 297 00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:58.960 history of the busting riots and Charlestown politics and and 298 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:02.000 you know, mayor White and so on and so forth. So, uh, 299 00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:04.519 I learned that about Charlestown is the liberal from Charleston. 300 00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:06.879 And here's what I'm asking You went to school.

And the best 599 00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:13.119 part where you're gonna love if we've got parking, which 600 00:24:13.160 --> 00:24:15.160 not a lot of these places have got great parking, right, 601 00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:18.839 there on site. The building is beautiful, the buildout is beautiful. 602 00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:20.920 You inspect all the I'm gonna let you inspect all 603 00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:24.039 the construction.

We had one of the first licenses there. 609 00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:39.319 The building is beautiful. The experience is like clean and 610 00:24:39.440 --> 00:24:42.200 well lit, and it looks like you're mad loves it. 611 00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:45.079 You're gonna but you're gonna like the when you and 612 00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:46.119 when you meet our bud Tech. 613 00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:48.799 But you're in a great location. You know why. I'll 614 00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:52.720 tell you why. Because now Cambridge doesn't want single family. 615 00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:55.359 They want all that single family that comes down to 616 00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:58.880 become multi family, which will bring more people to your area. 617 00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:01.720 Maybe. Yeah, I mean, I'm not gonna go I'm not 618 00:25:01.759 --> 00:25:06.799 gonna get baited by your political because you're going to. 619 00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:09.640 End up with more people living in Cambridge right on 620 00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:11.480 a Brian highway. 621 00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:13.079 So we've got good thing for you. You got a 622 00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:15.359 lot of cars that go by, and I think ultimately 623 00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:17.680 having the parking is really important. Being a part of 624 00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:19.960 the community is really important. Having a wide variety of 625 00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:22.599 brands is really important. But for somebody like you, you're gonna 626 00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:25.480 come into the store and you're gonna have somebody who's 627 00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:26.000 gonna be able to. 628 00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:28.759 Walk you and they're going to walk you through the 629 00:25:28.759 --> 00:25:31.039 whole experience and get you the right product and then 630 00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:34.119 you rub this stuff on your back or whatever they're 631 00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:36.799 going to offer you that he's gonna be the best. Well, 632 00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:42.359 if you haven't a shoulder pain, I'm. 633 00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:42.119 Not a doctor. Oh my god. He wants you to 634 00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:43.279 come to the store and talking out. 635 00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:45.720 Hold on, you have to smoke everything or something. You know. 636 00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:50.319 There's creams, there's edibles, there's tincatures, there's flour, there's We've 637 00:25:50.359 --> 00:25:52.319 got I mean literally, the reason that one of the 638 00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:55.759 biggest things that separates our store isn't just the fact 639 00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:57.559 that we've got this Austin brand and a great team, 640 00:25:57.559 --> 00:25:59.720 but we've got like the best selection of products in 641 00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:00.680 the Commonwealth. 642 00:26:01.640 --> 00:26:04.279 Okay, so that's Cambridge, and then we have again. 643 00:26:04.119 --> 00:26:06.200 We've got Summerville that's opening in a few months. 644 00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:07.720 So you've got a new store opening, new. 645 00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:09.759 Store opening, and I want you to do the walkthrough 646 00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:12.079 with us and make sure you're wearing when. 647 00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:15.079 You open these stores. You have to buy the location 648 00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:16.480 or you guys rending the location. 649 00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:18.680 That's just none of your business. 650 00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:19.519 Okay. 651 00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:24.000 Real estate, it's hard to it's hard to find the 652 00:26:24.039 --> 00:26:25.680 right real estate because it has to mean a number 653 00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:27.279 of different you know zone. 654 00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:29.720 And they can't get banking because. 655 00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:31.839 That's correct, you know. Yeah, I mean there's some issues 656 00:26:31.960 --> 00:26:33.440 come to me all the time. But also there was 657 00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:35.920 a lot of issues. You know, ask the Martinetti family about, 658 00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:39.079 you know, building on business in the Commonwealth. I mean 659 00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:40.319 they that they're you know. 660 00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:43.519 They're great grand great grandfather. But he took huge risks, 661 00:26:43.599 --> 00:26:44.160 yes he did. 662 00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:46.160 And not a lot of people wanted to be selling 663 00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:49.240 alcohol after prohibition, correct, and it had a huge stigma 664 00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:52.119 around it. But it took a lot of courage and 665 00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:54.880 a lot of smarts. And there's a number of families 666 00:26:54.920 --> 00:26:57.160 like that around the country. I think what we're trying 667 00:26:57.160 --> 00:26:59.960 to do is make New England really proud, try to 668 00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:03.079 build and tap into an authentic cannabis culture, which it is. 669 00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:06.319 I mean, people don't understand that these different there is 670 00:27:06.359 --> 00:27:09.519 like a culture that was created over seventy years in 671 00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:14.000 the dark around cannabis, and and what happens is is 672 00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:18.200 that those cultures become very separate from each other. So 673 00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:21.039 a cannabis culture of Los Angeles, California is very different 674 00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:24.200 than a New England cannabis culture. And what we're trying 675 00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:27.279 to do is really reflect kind of the authenticity of 676 00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:31.960 this community around cannabis and respect that and honor that. 677 00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:35.119 And I think it resonates with people who have been 678 00:27:35.160 --> 00:27:37.640 a part of that community, and then it attracts folks, 679 00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:39.960 you know, who have not been a part of it before. 680 00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:44.599 And that's uh, that's our story. At the Boston Garden, 681 00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:45.759 she's having a pandic attack. 682 00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:52.000 Yeah you about you probably didn't need today that I 683 00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:54.319 didn't I didn't eat. But we'll get to this PIC attack. 684 00:27:54.640 --> 00:27:56.480 Do you know, I do a person have a pic attack? 685 00:27:56.640 --> 00:27:59.920 Or we actually really haven't haven't What do you mean 686 00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:00.440 I was? 687 00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:02.680 I eat him. I'm in the middle of it right now, 688 00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:03.680 and pretend you're not having it. 689 00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:05.799 What do you mean you have an issue like breathing? 690 00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:07.759 Yeah, gonna die? 691 00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:09.920 But do you meditate? Do you exercise? 692 00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:10.680 Does that? Yes? 693 00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:13.279 I mean you look like you exercise every you know, 694 00:28:13.319 --> 00:28:14.279 every minute of the day. 695 00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:16.160 I just want to stand. 696 00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:20.319 But really, you're not meditating or doing yoga that you're trying. 697 00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:20.839 That's me. 698 00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:23.680 So you see me right now, you're taking over the question. 699 00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:24.960 But if you have an issue, I mean, if you 700 00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:26.240 have an issue actually. 701 00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:27.759 Having a panic attack right now with you, my student, 702 00:28:27.799 --> 00:28:31.559 that's really you want me to come today.
