Speaker 1: of My Canic Cass. I'm cand Dave. In today's episode,
Speaker 1: uh Me and Groovy just got back from the the Up.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about talk about our recent trip up
Speaker 1: to the Up. Groovy did performance at Summer uh Summer
Speaker 1: End Smokeouts. We'll dive into that. A couple a couple
Speaker 1: of cool hot off the press articles coming in coming
Speaker 1: at you hot. We're gonna go through and we're going
Speaker 1: to discuss some events that's been going on throughout the summer,
Speaker 1: and then probably a couple of upcoming events that will
Speaker 1: be pushing through the end of August and September. It's
Speaker 1: crazy to say end of summer, but it is. It
Speaker 1: is middle of August and end of summer is done
Speaker 1: at labor Day.
Speaker 2: Birthday is next week and we've been every time since
Speaker 2: I was a child, Since my birthday hits, it's just
Speaker 2: like schools the next week. So I've always felt like, well,
Speaker 2: birthdays about to hit. Guess what happens? No more summer like,
Speaker 2: so for me, it's almost like happy birthday by summer.
Speaker 2: Every So it's like when we got back and I
Speaker 2: was like, Holy shit, I got ten days to my
Speaker 2: B day and I was like, that means guess what,
Speaker 2: no more summer, no more, no more warm summer nights.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's see too.
Speaker 2: It's just different. Just and then all the events been
Speaker 2: going on with like you know, there's all the.
Speaker 1: Cannabis ships, there's been a ship ton of them. But
Speaker 1: let's jump in before we jump into events, let's jump
Speaker 1: into our trip up to the up Man and talk
Speaker 1: about Summer and Smoke Out and your performance going on
Speaker 1: over there. It was a pretty cool trip. Long we
Speaker 1: went to where Summer and smoke I was in the
Speaker 1: Republic of Republic, Michigan. It's all the way on the
Speaker 1: up I was like, what middle of the up Like,
Speaker 1: how many hours off the bridge? Was it three and
Speaker 1: a half?
Speaker 2: Uh? Yeah, once we got over the bridge about yeah,
Speaker 2: about three and a half maybe four with our stops
Speaker 2: and everything I might do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had multiple stops, that's for sure. Definitely when
Speaker 1: you're up there, you got to slop them. Look at
Speaker 1: Lake Superior. It's just so pretty.
Speaker 2: And the thing is, you know, me and Dave were
Speaker 2: messing around like throughout the day, like you know, while
Speaker 2: we were up there, doing things like little mini hinks.
Speaker 2: We tried to check out some waterfalls. You know, we
Speaker 2: did some product shots, like it was like.
Speaker 1: A whole thing, like you know, so and I don't
Speaker 1: know that was really cool though, that was really cool.
Speaker 1: I think I think some of those product shots you
Speaker 1: all will, like, you'll be seeing them posted throughout throughout
Speaker 1: our social media, so if you're not following, follow mychanic,
Speaker 1: caast in ig and Facebook, you'll be able to see those. Obviously.
Speaker 1: The weather, I don't know if you saw some of
Speaker 1: the stories. The weather sucked on Saturday a little bit.
Speaker 1: It was just rainy and like sixty degrees, but like
Speaker 1: other than.
Speaker 2: That, up driving up Thursday was beautiful, driving home Monday
Speaker 2: was beautiful, and then Sunday was beautiful. So we mostly
Speaker 2: did have beautiful days. It's just like when we like
Speaker 2: we were traveling during some of the beautiful days. So
Speaker 2: it's like when we finally got stationary, it's like showers
Speaker 2: and it wasn't even that bad like rain wise, it
Speaker 2: was just consistent and it was just kind of you know,
Speaker 2: Dave was not having it.
Speaker 1: If it was seventy in rainy, it would have been
Speaker 1: so much better, but it had to be like fifty
Speaker 1: eight in rainy, so it was like it was just
Speaker 1: tad cold and you're like, come on, I just want
Speaker 1: to enjoy this. But it kind of made kind of
Speaker 1: made the shots kind of unique, and the hikes were
Speaker 1: not that no one was really up there for the hikes,
Speaker 1: so maybe that played a factor because were able to
Speaker 1: enjoy the waterfalls yet I think like four different waterfalls, so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and that one hundred percent, and like,
Speaker 2: I mean I think that's kind of like the thing
Speaker 2: about the up is, no matter what you're doing up there,
Speaker 2: it's just beautiful nature. You know. It's Kuamanon Falls and
Speaker 2: Pictured Rocks, and we drove through Pictured Rocks like nearly
Speaker 2: drove near it. We never actually stopped because we were
Speaker 2: like trying to get places. But I mean, like that's
Speaker 2: the thing when you're traveling, you kind of make it
Speaker 2: a journey, right, Like there's this place called Captain Rods
Speaker 2: that we stop on the way, and that was always
Speaker 2: that's always I like doing it, and like you know,
Speaker 2: of course it's just like some and I've been there
Speaker 2: one time on my own too, so a couple of times,
Speaker 2: so it's it's kind of like a tradition whenever you
Speaker 2: drive through Mune sing for me and uh so there's
Speaker 2: just kind of like a journey to it, you know.
Speaker 2: And even Thursday we start where like kind of my
Speaker 2: family's from in that area up north, so it's like
Speaker 2: we made it a journey. It was a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: Siso was a lot a blast, you know. Uh, to
Speaker 2: be honest, a lot of indie gigs lately and they
Speaker 2: like really like really killed their production, you know, as
Speaker 2: far as staging goes. You know a lot of times
Speaker 2: with any fest, you know, you range you know from
Speaker 2: production levels and different sized stages because a lot of
Speaker 2: times that's what they do, you know, when you're trying
Speaker 2: to you know, it's an electric force. You know, everyone
Speaker 2: has a million dollars to spend on every stage, you
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. So they did fantastic job. The
Speaker 2: grounds were like really nice. I mean the two all
Speaker 2: three stages were really solid. You know, there was definitely
Speaker 2: like the main stage was the biggest and forest stage
Speaker 2: was like the mediumist like you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: but the speakers slapped that was what I got. The
Speaker 2: players so clear awesome and then like you know a
Speaker 2: little bit smaller on the dab ten, but it was overcovered.
Speaker 2: He still had really nice production a v y some
Speaker 2: great DJs played over there, so you know, shout out
Speaker 2: the whole summer and smoke out team. It was a
Speaker 2: great time. You know, seven ten had their dab tent,
Speaker 2: so we were like dabbing all weekend. You know, three
Speaker 2: Less was there.
Speaker 1: Ye shot shout out to.
Speaker 2: Some hash you know, yeah, dabs and flowers and.
Speaker 1: Some flower too. Yeah yeah, dude, seven lights. Yeah the
Speaker 1: bubble you do you want to talk?
Speaker 2: I got you, I got ahead, No, no, I got
Speaker 2: so bubble hash joints and then like we got hooked up.
Speaker 2: And then like, I mean, Dave, what did you think
Speaker 2: of it? Like, cause I know you haven't been on
Speaker 2: like a run of festivals, Like how did you think
Speaker 2: about it for your first like festival this summer? Did
Speaker 2: you get like the festive vibes that you were looking for?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Oh? I mean yeah, it was. It was. It was
Speaker 1: definitely festy vibes for sure. I mean I went to movement,
Speaker 1: but this is more like your fusty, like flab electric
Speaker 1: forest type of vibe. I thought it was pretty sweet.
Speaker 1: I liked how close everything was. Yeah, yeah, very heavy vibes,
Speaker 1: and I kind of I kind of dig that. I
Speaker 1: did like how close all the stages were, to be honest,
Speaker 1: because I hate when you're walking like miles apart to
Speaker 1: a stage because that just gets exhausting because then it's like,
Speaker 1: oh shit, I probably missed something over there. But literally,
Speaker 1: when everything's in a nice area and you can hear
Speaker 1: the music loud and clear in each area, you're able
Speaker 1: to check out all the vendors, check out some of
Speaker 1: the cool swag and stuff that each vendor brought. It
Speaker 1: looks like it has a lot of room to like
Speaker 1: continue to add more people there, so I'm curious, Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure, for sure. Yeah, how they do moving forward?
Speaker 1: I mean they had a great They had a great
Speaker 1: lineup and we got to see who, right, Mike Jones?
Speaker 1: Who Mike Jones? He just played his bops as like
Speaker 1: one of them, honeycomb if you're not familiar with him,
Speaker 1: he threw he didn't see a step. I'm assuming he
Speaker 1: threw down because he's.
Speaker 2: Fighting, which is really nice. And I had a great
Speaker 2: time jam with Zapp and jam with my banking And
Speaker 2: how did you just move over to the left? That
Speaker 2: was really weird.
Speaker 1: That is very weird.
Speaker 2: Do you see the camera move? Did you do that?
Speaker 2: I don't know what happened.
Speaker 3: I don't know how I looked up very sneaky.
Speaker 2: Honey, dude, he crushes it. And like you know, he
Speaker 2: got up there and performed with us sacks sacks such
Speaker 2: and then he and then he put me. I performed
Speaker 2: with Zepp as well, and I got that on footage.
Speaker 2: But like Dave said, you know, we had to leave early,
Speaker 2: and we were so mad because we actually missed the
Speaker 2: Northern lights. So if you would have been there at
Speaker 2: summer set, summer and smoke, you would have caught the
Speaker 2: Northern lights too. So I highly recommend going out there
Speaker 2: next year, you know what I mean, and doing the
Speaker 2: whole fest you know, And I think even next year,
Speaker 2: I think I would. You know, I was just on
Speaker 2: a long run and I was almost out of PTO
Speaker 2: and it's been like, you know, three weeks of festivals straight,
Speaker 2: so like you know, me and Dave had a ten
Speaker 2: hour drive between dropping him off and everything, so we
Speaker 2: were just exhausted. So we just kind of went to
Speaker 2: make a halfway point and like even then we still
Speaker 2: didn't get there to like a laughter or eleven and
Speaker 2: my headlight went out, so I was stressed out, like
Speaker 2: like I don't know the last three. So it was
Speaker 2: a whole journey, you know. But that's the thing about
Speaker 2: festivals and things. It's always a fun time. But love
Speaker 2: the other thing. I just want to do one more
Speaker 2: thing about summer and smoke out before we move on.
Speaker 2: It was so cool to like I was talking about
Speaker 2: this with some homies, some Chicago shout out menta Venice
Speaker 2: to the fam, great violinist and great DJs. But we
Speaker 2: were talking about how crazy it is, you know, like
Speaker 2: especially like in something you know, you can be so
Speaker 2: scared to smoke weeds still in some spots, but like
Speaker 2: we were. We were at a festival where it was
Speaker 2: everyone knew that it was loud based music and legal
Speaker 2: weed being sold, and it was just a vie no no,
Speaker 2: no crazy, you know, because sometimes you hear from these
Speaker 2: festivals all these like crazy wild things happening and horrible
Speaker 2: stories and people selling fent. This was just like a
Speaker 2: bunch of heady people have fun smoking buds, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. Like I really enjoyed that. I'm sure,
Speaker 2: you know, I'm sure people will party. I don't care
Speaker 2: I love that, But I'm just saying in general, you know,
Speaker 2: like it's really had that heady vibe going rather than like,
Speaker 2: you know, everyone's just you know, fucked up to the max.
Speaker 2: I mean, everyone was buzzing. I haven't time. I'm just saying, like,
Speaker 2: I guess it's I guess. I just said it was
Speaker 2: really cool to have such a different culture there, more
Speaker 2: surrounded by the cannabis. And then music was a part
Speaker 2: of it, you know, where some some festivals will have
Speaker 2: just music focus more art and music, you know, and
Speaker 2: then some you know, a lot of the big festivals,
Speaker 2: you get these crowds of people just selling drugs and
Speaker 2: doing drugs, which again part of the culture I don't care,
Speaker 2: but very much different when it's surrounded by cannabis legal sales,
Speaker 2: because then it kind of creates this different culture, you know.
Speaker 3: What I mean.
Speaker 2: That's one thing I really think I love about every
Speaker 2: festival that I go to is that there's a different culture.
Speaker 2: You know, same thing with like Big Dub a couple
Speaker 2: of weeks ago. You know, they have it surrounded by
Speaker 2: like you know, free spirit, earth religion like grounds and
Speaker 2: like you know, there's you know, there's a spiritual feeling there, right,
Speaker 2: and the homie camp collective is more like hetty jam
Speaker 2: bands flowing and artists right, like real heady saying similar
Speaker 2: to summer and smoke out but like but a little different.
Speaker 2: Were on the festive vibes, right, so you got more
Speaker 2: like heavy festivvies. I felt like this was like a
Speaker 2: fetti fest, right, kind of like how like Big Cloud
Speaker 2: is or like the seven, you know, like hash bash
Speaker 2: cut like it's heady. You know, the music is very
Speaker 2: much side by side with the plant rather than ones
Speaker 2: being you know, higher up, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: because you didn't have that the you know, all this
Speaker 2: stuff that elevated exotics did shout out like the dispo
Speaker 2: up there. If you didn't have all that shit, that
Speaker 2: would have been a whole different vibe, right, So I
Speaker 2: thought that was really cool. And there's Dabber's Alley. We
Speaker 2: got the judge, you know, which is really fun. We
Speaker 2: got shut out Honeycomb again. We judged with our dude,
Speaker 2: shout Jose, that's the fam. We got the judge, but
Speaker 2: together it was a blast. Dave really enjoyed picking on
Speaker 2: me with honeycumb. I'm sure we were ripping I've turned.
Speaker 1: He's like number three is so good, and we're all like, bro, what.
Speaker 2: I don't go there? Say it was so good? I said,
Speaker 2: I didn't mind it. Literally, they all were like I
Speaker 2: was like, whoa, guys, relaxed, Like like I said, two
Speaker 2: was pretty solid, dude, but no one's freaking out on
Speaker 2: me on one. It's two, two and five were probably
Speaker 2: the the better ones out of the bunch, you know, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: for sure, for sure we agreed.
Speaker 1: We all agreed. I think we all came the same conclusion. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was fun. And then he rolled up a fucking
Speaker 1: had to be probably.
Speaker 2: Like that thing. Dave got blessed with an artist passed
Speaker 2: the first time. So Dave was like, look at me,
Speaker 2: I'm an artist. It was lovely.
Speaker 1: It was due. I was performing on set.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 2: He was like in the artist drinks, He's like, hey, yeah,
Speaker 2: I drinking. It's a wild I got some ice, was
Speaker 2: a food snacks. It was funny because he had an
Speaker 2: artist pass and I was going to get the judging
Speaker 2: thing for the artist thing. He just handed Dave once,
Speaker 2: Oh shit, thanks man, Like we didn't even think about it,
Speaker 2: right cool. It wasn't like a big samples nine samples,
Speaker 2: so we took that. We took one of our packs,
Speaker 2: judged it with honeycom we took matched it. We ended
Speaker 2: up mixing like two packs pretty much, and we rolled
Speaker 2: a big old three smoked it with everyone that was judging,
Speaker 2: you know, Shout out Neil, Shout out Brett for throwing
Speaker 2: such a fun fust, you know, and getting to smoke
Speaker 2: with all them a little bit. I don't know if
Speaker 2: I got to smoke with Bread, but I tried to
Speaker 2: smoke with everybody. Just festies are crazy, man, because then
Speaker 2: sometimes you just duck in and taking shelter or I'm
Speaker 2: tired or Dave's tired, or we have to get you know, sleep,
Speaker 2: or hey, I'm hungry, you know, so you just kind
Speaker 2: of you're on your own like journey, right. So I've
Speaker 2: been really enjoying all the events, you know, I definitely
Speaker 2: know there are definitely ones in the fall, you know,
Speaker 2: I know it got big cloud ones coming up in September,
Speaker 2: and then you know, this isn't Cannis very but music
Speaker 2: to me, and like there's definitely heady guys, big fam
Speaker 2: shout out big fan there in October, So check them
Speaker 2: out if you're a Michigan local. It's definitely worth like
Speaker 2: the vibes they do really work really hard.
Speaker 1: In my ass Mission International speed Away.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be great. That's October, and then I
Speaker 2: think Big Clouds that September. But since we're talking like
Speaker 2: I mean, we're talking about like events that are like
Speaker 2: they do their thing.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about don't go thing. We also got the
Speaker 1: Hot the Harvest Cup. That's that's going to be announced
Speaker 1: at the Capitol. I think it's like September fifteenth. That's
Speaker 1: at the Capitol Hill. They're gonna announce some winners for that.
Speaker 1: It's not like an event, but you can go to
Speaker 1: the Capitol and continue protesting our rights and everything advocating,
Speaker 1: and then you have I.
Speaker 2: Thought jams and Genetics said something in the fall too,
Speaker 2: so it's like we have we do the October.
Speaker 1: They have an October event that they do.
Speaker 2: That's what's your second run of Like.
Speaker 1: You have Ethogenics Fast upcoming yep, yep, yeah, Or that's

Speaker 2: Very cool.
Speaker 1: You can check that out PS Society. And then so, okay, we.
Speaker 2: Got more events than I realized. Hell yeah, this is awesome.
Speaker 1: The Olympics is going to do their event in September.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they announced the date, so I'm
Speaker 1: not going to say it yet, but I know him
Speaker 1: the date is, so that's upcoming, and I just I
Speaker 1: haven't seen him anounce it, so I don't want to
Speaker 1: announce it.
Speaker 2: No, no, of course, no, I'm saying this is good though.
Speaker 2: This is good because I'm just recapping some of the
Speaker 2: summer events that we went to, you know, with all
Speaker 2: the you know, even like the heavy ones with.
Speaker 1: Like I said, oh, and then you have Kevin Gates.
Speaker 1: You have the one out on the West Side. I
Speaker 1: just know Kevin Gates is performing because I got a
Speaker 1: pass from Flower, so I'm blinking on that one. Last year.
Speaker 1: They had Burner and a bunch of other artists there.
Speaker 1: It's a pretty good disco spot. It's it's affiliated with
Speaker 1: Draca Gates. Oh my god, I can't think of it.
Speaker 1: But that's that's at the end of August as well too.
Speaker 1: I think and then a non cannabis related I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's on the west side state.
Speaker 2: I'm seeing Kevin Gates Cast County Grounds, Capitalist, Michigan. Yes,
Speaker 2: oh wow, this is right after my birthday too. Man,
Speaker 2: you're trying to buy me ticket? Don come, no, by,
Speaker 2: I'm traveled out. We're taking a break until a couple
Speaker 2: of weeks off. Well it's two weeks, I guess, but anyways, maybe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so there's a bunch there's a bunch of events
Speaker 1: still upcoming.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, but I want to talk about this. I
Speaker 2: was trying to. I mean, grails are great event, and
Speaker 2: I'm glad we covered them, but like, you want to
Speaker 2: talk about this. We heard about an event kind of
Speaker 2: flopping a little bit through the grape vine.
Speaker 1: You were talking to me, so, oh Cannabish. Yeahs like
Speaker 1: their third year, and I think the last two years
Speaker 1: it completely flopped. Like ius, they owed a bunch of
Speaker 1: people money, they didn't even pay them out, and there
Speaker 1: is nobody at these events. Nobody at the event, I
Speaker 1: guess supposedly maybe like fifty to one hundred, that's what
Speaker 1: I heard.
Speaker 2: I saw a bunch of pictures from people being there,
Speaker 2: and even you could tell from the people trying to
Speaker 2: be cool with it, you know. I mean they were
Speaker 2: trying to be cool, you know, being like hey, but
Speaker 2: you could tell that, like there was not a lot
Speaker 2: of people there, and then I forget which artist I
Speaker 2: saw a video, but it looked like he was just
Speaker 2: trying his hardest to perform and like I know how
Speaker 2: it was juicy j. Yeah, that's what it was. And
Speaker 2: there was just like not a lot of people. And
Speaker 2: I felt bad. I mean, definitely put on a show
Speaker 2: where he could, but you like, you know, when you're
Speaker 2: used to playing for like hundreds, hundreds or to thousands
Speaker 2: or tens of thousands of people, you know, I think
Speaker 2: it's just kind of hard to get that same energy drawn,
Speaker 2: you know. Yeah, So you know, I just feel bad
Speaker 2: because you know, they're trying to do a successful event,
Speaker 2: and it's really hard to throw events, Like it's not
Speaker 2: just hey, like we're gonna throw a name out of flyer,
Speaker 2: spend a bunch of money. I guess responsibles.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think they're I think they're shrying to
Speaker 1: shady though, the people that throw this event, because I
Speaker 1: don't think they paid vendors last year and then they
Speaker 1: didn't make enough money to pay people this year and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Even some of the artists don't even
Speaker 1: think got bad.
Speaker 2: Whoa what contract that's contractual.
Speaker 1: That's well, maybe that's what sucks because sometimes you throw
Speaker 1: an event and I don't.
Speaker 2: Know, no, I get I know, but I'm trying to say,
Speaker 2: it's it's hard to throw events. People think they can
Speaker 2: just like throw a name and it's hard. Like these
Speaker 2: people who throw events, you got to pay them respect
Speaker 2: because they like, it's a lot of work. It's a
Speaker 2: lot of logistics, it's a lot of day on site things,
Speaker 2: you know. So when you see things that drop balls
Speaker 2: like that, it's like, you know, people want to just
Speaker 2: be like, oh, you didn't pay enough for marketing, you
Speaker 2: didn't do this, Like no, you probably didn't do a
Speaker 2: bunch of things like it's hard. Yeah, but yeah, so yeah, man,
Speaker 2: we had some cannabis of breaking news we want to
Speaker 2: talk about. So I'm excited for the Fall events.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be a good time. I think
Speaker 2: it's just, you know, got dress a little different.
Speaker 1: Football seasons almost here. Fall events are coming, Halloween decorations
Speaker 1: are coming out, Fall pumpkin spice, lattaser in the air.
Speaker 1: I can smell them already. Oh god, I know they're coming,
Speaker 1: just never.
Speaker 2: You know. It's like, I'm not knocking.
Speaker 1: I do I love pumpkin.
Speaker 2: I do love Okay, So here that's where we don't agree.
Speaker 2: I don't like pumpkin. So I was about to say, like,
Speaker 2: I don't mind people liking pumpkin. I just think it's disgusting.
Speaker 2: So when the pumpkin phase happened and everything was pumpkinized,
Speaker 2: I was like, what the I don't even like pumpkin
Speaker 2: as is I don't even like pumpkin pie. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: said it. Someone's gonna like reach out in my hands, like.
Speaker 1: You're a piece of That's fine, Yeah, you are a
Speaker 1: piece of ship. We don't like you. WHOA escalated quickly,
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: I was like, how do we get here? I hate you?
Speaker 2: Dave like logs off. He just frozen. I'm like, ah, well.
Speaker 1: That was piece. I'm out.
Speaker 2: All right away. Off the press, hot press extra extra,
Speaker 2: know all about it.
Speaker 1: Refused Jones soda.
Speaker 2: This is crazy to me when you brought up Jones so,
Speaker 2: I was like, Jones soda, you mean bubblegum blue soda
Speaker 2: that I only drank once, Like you know, like I Jones,
Speaker 2: just like really unique sodas. Remember, Like it wasn't just
Speaker 2: I mean, they had traditional sodas, but they had weird
Speaker 2: sodas too.
Speaker 1: Remember yep, I tell I don't really remember too much
Speaker 1: of them. I just remember like that I never really
Speaker 1: drank them that much. Dude, I'm not, I like, I
Speaker 1: was just a big soda guy.
Speaker 2: But like, oh so when I when, I'm so anyway,
Speaker 2: so I'm getting into this. They'll be producing in the
Speaker 2: Gibralto trade Sound Mount Clements, which if you know Michigan
Speaker 2: you kind of know where that's at.
Speaker 1: The partner I'm so easy canning.
Speaker 2: Oh what sorry, No, no, sorry you broke up for a second.
Speaker 2: You kind of like it was like a glitzy that's all.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was just saying ECP as well. Yeah no, no,
Speaker 1: just saying a CP.
Speaker 2: No for sure, just internet crap was no big deal.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 2: So, what they're gonna be serving is twenty milligram THC
Speaker 2: bottle intended to be single servings, one hundred milligram GSC
Speaker 2: servings intend to be for sharing drinkers, sharing people who
Speaker 2: will on higher dosages. And then they have mixing syrups
Speaker 2: that will come in four on glasses and which contain
Speaker 2: two hundred milligrams TTC syrup and cane syrups will come
Speaker 2: and bury lemonade and have gray green apple and orange
Speaker 2: and cream. I'm really surprised they didn't have bubble gum
Speaker 2: because bubble gum was the one flavor that I remember
Speaker 2: like stood out, was really unique. I don't know if
Speaker 2: it was one of their popular ones, but I'm really
Speaker 2: curious how I'm really curious how this goes because I
Speaker 2: think this is a smart thing to do, and I
Speaker 2: almost feel like someone just bought the rights to Jones
Speaker 2: and is rebranding it as a cannabis thing, because I've
Speaker 2: thought that would be a great idea with a couple
Speaker 2: of things, you know, just buy the name and then
Speaker 2: change the idea, you know.
Speaker 1: I don't know, if I don't know, If I don't know,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: I'm just I could be the same owners and they're
Speaker 2: just like, hey, our SODA's really didn't work, but like, hey,
Speaker 2: we get in the we game. It's good soda.
Speaker 1: I like the syrup idea. Yeah, the.
Speaker 2: Flavors too, you know a lot, you know, so it'll
Speaker 2: be it'll be neat just.
Speaker 1: Depends on it depends on price pointment. But it's good
Speaker 1: to see brands that are actually brands that were not
Speaker 1: cannabis related now going into cannabis because that just that
Speaker 1: just shows uh, normalization continuing to happen. Because like you'll
Speaker 1: see when you see brands that are doing stuff that
Speaker 1: like if there is something with alcohol and then they
Speaker 1: do not infuse alcohol, that means they're showing that they're
Speaker 1: still there for non infuse like those non alcoholic drinks, right,
Speaker 1: that means you're you're trying to get all the customers.
Speaker 1: Now they're trying to get in the cannabis market because
Speaker 1: they see they see a demographic or a market there
Speaker 1: that they can capitalize on. And I don't blame them.
Speaker 1: There's there are people that like to drink the drink.
Speaker 1: You are seeing more drinks coming out.
Speaker 2: Well, And I always think about like edibles and drinks
Speaker 2: are like very easy to discreetly hide too, And especially
Speaker 2: when I think about you know, I always think about
Speaker 2: people in and this might be extreme cases, but I
Speaker 2: always think about people nursing homes, you know, like that's
Speaker 2: the only way they can consume regular if someone's sneaking
Speaker 2: them in edibles or drinks, because that's the why we
Speaker 2: can get down anything hospitals, that type of stuff, because
Speaker 2: it's you know, federally is still bullshit U treaty lely so.
Speaker 2: So I think sometimes these sodas, these these edibles are
Speaker 2: like ways to get people into cannabis who aren't always
Speaker 2: into canvaus or something unique for me and you if
Speaker 2: we're going screw it, we gonna smash on hundred milligrams
Speaker 2: real quick rather than having like, you know, I don't know,
Speaker 2: it's kind of like unique thing.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: It's not like a regular thing for me. You know,
Speaker 2: I won't be just like all right now, I'm just
Speaker 2: drinking to each soda, you know, but I'm not, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm There's.
Speaker 1: Definitely a market out there though that does that doesn't
Speaker 1: want to smoke or dab, and they're going to be
Speaker 1: one of the people that want to instead of eating,
Speaker 1: they might just want to have a drink because that's
Speaker 1: what that's how they like to go. And that's the
Speaker 1: best part about cannais you can get your you can
Speaker 1: get your product, get your THC cannabinoids many ways, from
Speaker 1: smoking to eating, to dabbing to vaporizing. So he'll be cool.
Speaker 1: I'll be excited to see when it rolls out.
Speaker 2: Oh and by the way, I just want to one
Speaker 2: last thing. Real e CP the O their CEO COO
Speaker 2: actually used to be the CEO of our a Blake's Sier.
Speaker 2: So they are partnering with the like no Big drinks,
Speaker 2: so we'll see how it goes, right.
Speaker 1: And Blake's Blake's Cider with that with the infused cier
Speaker 1: did really good too. I heard I didn't try it
Speaker 1: last year, so.
Speaker 2: What's some saying? So maybe he'll launch it the Blake's
Speaker 2: Hearts or that he was the former CEO of Blakesart,
Speaker 2: So we'll see how it goes really cool, different market.
Speaker 2: So what were we saying? I'm sorry, I mean cut
Speaker 2: you out, brother.
Speaker 1: Oh, I was just saying, let's I was going to
Speaker 1: jump into the the teen robbing a cannabis story.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, but I just want to shout out Old
Speaker 2: Score Organics, Kinship and our newest partner High nine. Check
Speaker 2: it out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, our official drink sponsor of the podcast. And then
Speaker 1: you can see Old School and Kinship my mind right there, David,
Speaker 1: what I did?
Speaker 2: Hell yeah? And Dave, Dave sent me this story and
Speaker 2: about passed out from laughing just from reading the title.
Speaker 2: I don't mean like in a rude way, but I
Speaker 2: was like, dang, someone robbed a dispo for a hundred gees.
Speaker 2: That shit's crazy to me. All Right, David is walking away,
Speaker 2: so yeah, no, So to get into this article a
Speaker 2: little bit, I thought it was pretty crazy. This teen
Speaker 2: in Royal Oak was charged one hundred grand or a
Speaker 2: found with one hundred grand worth of pop products after
Speaker 2: robbing a dispo. So this dispo, uh do do? Gatspeak
Speaker 2: Cannabis company was where where they broke into and it
Speaker 2: took place about two am on Saturday, August third, Do
Speaker 2: Do Do Do? And and honestly, one hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 2: worth of product. I mean that's not a small, little
Speaker 2: getting get out type of heist. Like, honestly, it's pretty wild,
Speaker 2: like they must have walked got away with a lot
Speaker 2: of stuff. So it's only been over for two months.
Speaker 2: So I felt really horrible when I was reading this article,
Speaker 2: and really even sad to read that this was done
Speaker 2: by a fifteen year old. So it's just like, you know,
Speaker 2: I wonder why this person was in such a desperate
Speaker 2: situation for this you know what I'm saying. You know,
Speaker 2: a fifteen year old robbing one hundred thousand dollars A
Speaker 2: word from a dispo like.
Speaker 1: You know, I wonder why you know does make sense?
Speaker 2: But hey, real quick, I want to hear this. We
Speaker 2: I have this article pulled up from them, so I
Speaker 2: was thinking maybe we could just check it out and
Speaker 2: see what it's all about, maybe after in about a
Speaker 2: couple of seconds, because I didn't know it was going
Speaker 2: to pop up with a commercial. So there's a commercial
Speaker 2: playing right now. But I do think when you steal
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand dollars worth of product, someone's gonna notice.
Speaker 5: So we're shocked that it happened.
Speaker 6: He somehow managed to evade the alarm system for almost
Speaker 6: thirty minutes while he carried tote after toad out of
Speaker 6: the product and Duo's car, which she can't even legally drive.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's another thing too.
Speaker 7: I think almost he was shocked that he got in,
Speaker 7: and so it was like he was kind of like.
Speaker 1: Like looking around.
Speaker 5: Brent Heurmet was an hour away, alerted to security footage
Speaker 5: a hooded intruder in his marijuana dispensary.
Speaker 7: From talking to the police, I don't think he had
Speaker 7: any idea what he was even doing, Like he didn't
Speaker 7: know what he wanted out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right. The kid that got away with one
Speaker 5: hundred thousand dollars worth of product, just fifteen years old.
Speaker 5: And you found out that it was a fifteen year old,
Speaker 5: what went through your mind? It's sad kind of not
Speaker 5: even old enough to have a license. The kid took
Speaker 5: a car Saturday around one three in the morning, drove
Speaker 5: to Gastbye Cannabis Company in Royal Oak using a hammer
Speaker 5: to bust through a window.
Speaker 1: Pretty amazing. Somehow he avoided.
Speaker 4: Tripping the alarm for almost thirty minutes, had to go
Speaker 4: through a bunch of hoops to try to get in,
Speaker 4: and then once he was in, kind of in and
Speaker 4: out through that same spot, kind of running to the
Speaker 4: car loading, coming back, loading, coming back.
Speaker 5: Being just fifteen, he's not a master criminal. The hoodie
Speaker 5: he had on didn't cover his face and that's what
Speaker 5: helped police track him to his home in Royal Oak.
Speaker 5: With that literal mountain of Evanish moralizing a.
Speaker 7: Little bit because of all the work that we in
Speaker 7: on a regular basis to try to keep the place, like,
Speaker 7: you know, beautiful for the community.
Speaker 5: The Gatsby has only been opened two months at this location,
Speaker 5: a big mess to clean up, and all that product
Speaker 5: is evidence in a criminal case. Now will they ever
Speaker 5: be able to resell.
Speaker 7: We're trying to figure out all that stuff with the
Speaker 7: state right now. So I honestly don't even have an
Speaker 7: answer for that.
Speaker 5: That fifteen year old now charged as a juvenile with
Speaker 5: breaking an entering and fleeing at a looting house now
Speaker 5: at Children's Village in Oakland County.
Speaker 7: I'm sad for him, but I don't feel bad for him,
Speaker 7: you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And like the thing is like about that, like
Speaker 2: that's just a rough situation because you know, that kid's
Speaker 2: not like in a good place where he has to
Speaker 2: like rob, you know what I mean. So you feel bad,
Speaker 2: But at the same time, that's one hundred thousand dodars
Speaker 2: with the product and that person there's no way they're
Speaker 2: gonna be able to sell that. You know, they're gonna
Speaker 2: have to write and you can't write it off as
Speaker 2: a loss. Like so it's it's really a bumm for
Speaker 2: the dispo too. You know, I feel bad for Gatsby,
Speaker 2: you know, I want to say I feel bad for
Speaker 2: the kid, but I don't know the situation. I don't
Speaker 2: know if it was selfish, are desperate. Either way, it's
Speaker 2: like it's still messed up because you're just.
Speaker 1: It's fifteen years old and you're trying to go rate,
Speaker 1: go fucking break into a store and then steal shit.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just not for that.
Speaker 2: No, No, I'm not saying that. I'm just trying to
Speaker 2: have empathy, because I know some situations have, you know,
Speaker 2: desperate people behind them. But when you mess with like
Speaker 2: a person's business and you're stealing that much, you know,
Speaker 2: you're clearly just trying to steal, like take that's a
Speaker 2: lot of product. You know. This isn't someone who's going
Speaker 2: in there and taking a couple of handfuls of shit
Speaker 2: because they're desperate for, you know, to make a quick
Speaker 2: quick buck. You know, I've seen people, I've literally seen
Speaker 2: people grab tip jars and I'm like, damn, that person's
Speaker 2: probably desperate or got some drug issues or something. Right,
Speaker 2: you're still one hundred thousand dollars worth that's planned, you know,
Speaker 2: and this kid's fifteen, all right. They are even saying
Speaker 2: like this kid can't even drive and he's just robbing
Speaker 2: dispos Yeah, no, it doesn't make sense, such a such
Speaker 2: a such a shitty story. Because that I feel bad
Speaker 2: for the gas be owners because, like I said, I
Speaker 2: don't think they're gonna be able to sell that. I
Speaker 2: hopefully they can't sell that unfortunately.
Speaker 1: You know, now Sierra will allow that back to be sold.
Speaker 2: Their both a bumber. Hopefully they can bounce back. Man,
Speaker 2: that's that's a crazy story. And then yeah, you got
Speaker 2: one last one that you said to me, which I
Speaker 2: thought was pretty cool. Shout out to North Dakota. Sounds
Speaker 2: like they approved if it's will approved marijuana legalization measure
Speaker 2: for November's ballot, you know, so yep, yep, So that's
Speaker 2: pretty cool. So another, they got enough, they has a chance.
Speaker 1: Yep, they got enough signatures. That'll be them in Florida,
Speaker 1: we'll have the chance. So under the new legalization measure,
Speaker 1: adults twenty one and older we'd be able to possess
Speaker 1: up to one ounce of marijuana flower, four grams of concentrates,
Speaker 1: and three hundred milligrams of edibles that they could buy
Speaker 1: from a limited number of licensed dispensaries. Adults could also
Speaker 1: grow up to three plants for personal use with a
Speaker 1: six plant cat per household, so.
Speaker 2: Basically, two people live together, you were married, you could
Speaker 2: grow six. I mean it's not the best with the count,
Speaker 2: but at least it's in there. I mean rather than not.
Speaker 1: Oh, at least I got homegrow. That's what I'm.
Speaker 2: Saying that that's trying to be positive.
Speaker 1: Because you can always try to least eventually fight for more.
Speaker 1: Work it to get yeah, work it to get maybe
Speaker 1: nine or twelve, like how.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, this doesn't make sense because of you know,
Speaker 2: you just start when they when you start getting people
Speaker 2: doing it and growing, and people going like, hey, this
Speaker 2: isn't enough time, enough product to help me medically. I
Speaker 2: need a little bit more than maybe it gets up
Speaker 2: to six, you know, then you're up to twelve households.
Speaker 2: That would be cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because three.
Speaker 2: It's on there like New Jersey. And then always throws
Speaker 2: me off, like you always say, man, Dave says it best.
Speaker 2: It's not is it really legal?
Speaker 1: Like no, it's not. And that goes back to last
Speaker 1: week's So yeah, we posted a clip last week on
Speaker 1: that topic, I think because we were talking about it
Speaker 1: for the Planning League. The plant's not legal if you
Speaker 1: can't have a home grow.

Speaker 2: are Shadow band. But if you type in m I
