Speaker 3: Save for kay, thank you.
Speaker 4: It's a long way to give it. Your back there.
Speaker 4: But that's why I'm back in Boston because ultimately, like
Speaker 4: I really recognized that that was the case.
Speaker 3: Well you really recognized that.
Speaker 4: I mean, I think in La.
Speaker 3: Might as well come back to Massachuon.
Speaker 4: Was I needed an excuse to tell my wife that
Speaker 4: I want to come back to Boston. That was one question.
Speaker 4: I have a question.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you moved from Boston at a certain age,
Speaker 3: you left Boston. You grew up in Charlestown, right, and
Speaker 3: we call that the I don't know, sult shure, quinsy, salthy,
Speaker 3: I don't know, what do you guys consider Charlestown Charlestown?
Speaker 3: Come on, I know, but you guys still weren't salty Charlestown.
Speaker 3: Did you guys think you were tougher than salty kids?
Speaker 3: Of course you did.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it.
Speaker 3: Was kind of like the North Endeast Boston.
Speaker 4: We don't even think about South Boston.
Speaker 3: Yeah you guys from Yeah you were.
Speaker 4: I mean there were kids I grew up with who
Speaker 4: really never really left Charlestown. I mean the wouldn't even
Speaker 4: go like across the bridge and into Boston.
Speaker 3: Do you blame them?
Speaker 4: I mean, I love I'm like in love with Charlestown.
Speaker 3: Now look at your real estate prices there, Huh.
Speaker 4: It's unbelievable. I mean, my father taught at you Mass
Speaker 4: Boston for thirty five years, and they bought that house
Speaker 4: in the late sat indies and paid how much you know, yeah,
Speaker 4: sixty five thousand bucks or something.
Speaker 3: That was a lot of my in the late seventies.
Speaker 4: And it was a rooming house, so it was filled
Speaker 4: with tenants. So my old man and my mother, you know,
Speaker 4: they had like one room in this five story or
Speaker 4: four story townhouse. So they were renting, and so they
Speaker 4: were renting it out. It was smart. And then slowly
Speaker 4: but surely, as as your mother's trying to get to,
Speaker 4: you know, saving for a rainy day, they accumulated more
Speaker 4: and more of the house. My dad did all the
Speaker 4: work on the house, save for save for the elector
Speaker 4: safe for the plumbing, us safe for rain day too.
Speaker 4: By the way, he's safe for a rainy day. I mean,
Speaker 4: did he took his pace, took his pension from the
Speaker 4: Commonwealth of Massachusetts, from U mass Boston in the house
Speaker 4: and did really well. They did obviously really well in Charlestown,
Speaker 4: but they recognized a good, good bones.
Speaker 3: Eight thousand doll investment, which was a lot of mine.
Speaker 4: Instant Yeah, became a few million bucks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly that. Well, that's called owning assets, people, That's
Speaker 3: why you need to own assets. Okay, but we're not
Speaker 3: going to make this about a real estate show. We're
Speaker 3: making this about Jonathan.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, it's business. So I saw that. I mean,
Speaker 4: after thirty years of being in entertainment, I'm like, look,
Speaker 4: I'm getting I'm married, i want to have kids. I'm
Speaker 4: seeing the different the model shifting dramatically in terms of streamers,
Speaker 4: the amount of content that was aunt money you're getting paid.
Speaker 3: The money that streamers, oh, influencers that are making is
Speaker 3: sometimes a lot more than the actors in Hollywood.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not and that's not a business I want
Speaker 4: to pursue. You know, I'm not looking to be an
Speaker 4: influencer or like a YouTuber, not that I have any
Speaker 4: issues with it.
Speaker 3: It's for me, so what I said, But I do,
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want you to make as much as I want.
Speaker 3: You to make as much money as you can too.

Speaker 3: how to be successful and what it takes when you
Speaker 3: can't even you're talking to talk, buddy, but you haven't
Speaker 3: walked the walk yet, So I don't want to hear
Speaker 3: you talk to talk so to me and influence.
Speaker 4: Even though you were twenty three years old.
Speaker 3: And I wasn't. Yeah, but here's a difference.
Speaker 4: A woman in Boston going up against the unions. Everyone's

Speaker 4: haven't walked back talk Yeah, And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 4: here you are sitting in your studios exactly, your beautiful
Speaker 4: blonde hair and your successful daughter. So I don't know

Speaker 3: But at my twenties, here's a difference. Yeah, I had
Speaker 3: God gave me two years in one mouth. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: used my ears copy that and I shut my mouth.

Speaker 3: You weren't even born yet.
Speaker 2: Shut your mouth.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did, trust me. I was the labor for
Speaker 3: my company. But that being said, I learned from all
Speaker 3: these older guys, right I listen, listen, listen, So one
Speaker 3: day I could talk the talk, sure, and walk the walk.
Speaker 3: So we go back now with these influences. Oh you

Speaker 3: I think you are, yeah, of course. So what happened
Speaker 3: to you?
Speaker 4: I tried. I got out of Boston. I put that
Speaker 4: attack those aurs hard onto the end of hard, very hard.
Speaker 2: I think it's funny. I can leave bust and go
Speaker 2: to California and all a sudden have a bus.
Speaker 3: Here's how he learned that are is because he might
Speaker 3: have grown up in Charlestown, but you went to school
Speaker 3: in Brookline. There you go, so he learned his eyes.
Speaker 3: Then he had to go back to Charlestown. How did
Speaker 3: you do that? How did you swing that person?
Speaker 4: Great, that's a great question, because Gemini in Brooklyn, the
Speaker 4: kid from Charlestown. You could do this on the on
Speaker 4: the guy going to school in Brookline.
Speaker 3: So go ahead set that up for me for a minute.
Speaker 4: I mean you've got to just give me go back.
Speaker 3: To high school. Give me a senior high school, junior
Speaker 3: high school. No.
Speaker 4: So I went to Brookline up until ninth grade, and
Speaker 4: then I went to California for for high school, for
Speaker 4: boarding school.
Speaker 3: I give it to me from seven day ninth grade
Speaker 3: because that's even more for crazy.
Speaker 4: Even earlier. And I also danced with the Boston Ballet
Speaker 4: during that period, So.
Speaker 3: You didn't get your killing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I had it toughened me off. It's
Speaker 4: funny enough that Charlestown is actually very supportive of the ballet,
Speaker 4: where Client was much less supportive of the Ballet. Charlestown.
Speaker 4: I played Little League right there by the Shrafts Building
Speaker 4: with Marty Fabiano, my coach, one of the few Italians
Speaker 4: in Uhtown, Charlestown, and and you know, I kind of
Speaker 4: had to play both worlds. But when I was playing
Speaker 4: some baseball out there right by then now on a
Speaker 4: core casino, this kid on my own team comes running out,
Speaker 4: like the first day of of practice, and he stops
Speaker 4: at me at second base and he lifts up his
Speaker 4: sock and he's got like a pocket knife. But you know,
Speaker 4: I'm ten years old, so It's like I hit a
Speaker 4: knife and he goes, yeah, f and liberal, and I'm ten.
Speaker 4: I'm like, I have no I'm like his guy's on
Speaker 4: my team and he goes out to the outfield. So
Speaker 4: then of course I got to go ask my own man.
Speaker 4: I'm like, Pops, first of all, why is a guy
Speaker 4: on my team like threatening me with a knife, and
Speaker 4: why is he calling me a liberal?
Speaker 3: And what do you say?
Speaker 4: I was like, you know, he walked me through the
Speaker 4: history of the busting riots and Charlestown politics and and
Speaker 4: you know, mayor White and so on and so forth. So, uh,
Speaker 4: I learned that about Charlestown is the liberal from Charleston.
Speaker 3: And here's what I'm asking You went to school. I
Speaker 3: know for me, when you're thirteen from the North Shore,
Speaker 3: coming to Newton was a culture shock for sure, total culture.
Speaker 4: But I started going to Brookline in when I was
Speaker 4: for like kindergartens.
Speaker 3: Oh so you came right up, all right. So when
Speaker 3: you'd go back, but.
Speaker 4: Some of those kids wouldn't their parents wouldn't let their
Speaker 4: them there. Some of those kids to play, so that
Speaker 4: was real like, oh, well, you know, Matt's my dad
Speaker 4: and mom will let him get in or Natalie's mom,
Speaker 4: dad will let her come over.
Speaker 3: But I'm going with this as you know what that
Speaker 3: feels like. Yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 4: See she knows that she has real life experience. Mom, Yeah,
Speaker 4: don't put down her experience.
Speaker 2: It's all her fault.

Speaker 3: the eyeballs.
Speaker 4: Your dad agangster? My grandpa heard he was a gangster.
Speaker 3: Yeah he's still alive right now.

Speaker 2: should exactly that's what you said.
Speaker 3: She should be stabbing yourself in the eyes and be
Speaker 3: in psychotherapy.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: It doesn't care about anything. But the point is when
Speaker 3: you went back to Charlestown and you have the same
Speaker 3: Brookline kind of way about you. Did you fit with
Speaker 3: the Charlestown kids.
Speaker 4: Or not not? You know, it was like ish ish.
Speaker 3: So when they moved me at thirteen, I didn't fit
Speaker 3: in with the Newton kids. They were weird to me.
Speaker 3: So your own city kids were weirder to you, and
Speaker 3: my city that I moved it was weird.

Speaker 4: and we've got little pictures which are the smaller nugs.
Speaker 4: And then we've got another product called the Lobster Bake
Speaker 4: twenty eight.
Speaker 3: Three rolls just walking them on high No.
Speaker 4: People. You know, there's so many different kinds of cannabis
Speaker 4: users now, and that's what's exciting about at least like
Speaker 4: the decriminalism or the rescheduled states in the sets, but
Speaker 4: it's now in the country. I mean, it just doesn't
Speaker 4: have the same stigma that it used to. And you've
Speaker 4: got people who are using it to, you know, for sleep,
Speaker 4: You've got people who are using it for creativity. You've
Speaker 4: got people who are using it to just decompress. Okay,
Speaker 4: and you don't have to.
Speaker 3: It's not like those kids that walk around smoking all day,
Speaker 3: are they going to really like, like I get angry
Speaker 3: with my son, like you want to smoke smoking night?
Speaker 3: Don't don't smoke during the day, Yeah, because I does it,
Speaker 3: but not everybody gets dumbed down from it, right, I.
Speaker 4: Mean, look, if you're doing anything all day long, you're
Speaker 4: an idiot. I mean, you can't be smoking cannabis all day,
Speaker 4: it's ridiculous. Okay, you can't be drinking all day. You
Speaker 4: can't be doing drinking coffee all day. You're gonna lose
Speaker 4: your mind.
Speaker 3: Correct, let's just decaf.
Speaker 4: Yeah. But we offer a lot of different products at
Speaker 4: the store, right, so we do you know, We've got
Speaker 4: the we've got CBD products, we've got tincatures, we've got.
Speaker 3: I've got a bad lots of different ways. I always
Speaker 3: have a back ache. So if I went to your
Speaker 3: store and I bought real not that stuff that they
Speaker 3: sell in the stores that don't have licenses.
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, here's what you're gonna love. Okay, you're gonna
Speaker 4: love the building because for the old Leechmere rug building
Speaker 4: right there, okay, which shows that one that's Cambridge, Cambridge,
Speaker 4: so you're in Cambridge and where else? And the best
Speaker 4: part where you're gonna love if we've got parking, which
Speaker 4: not a lot of these places have got great parking, right,
Speaker 4: there on site. The building is beautiful, the buildout is beautiful.
Speaker 4: You inspect all the I'm gonna let you inspect all
Speaker 4: the construction. Okay, you're gonna be very happy with Wait.
Speaker 2: Were you the one that all the neighbors tried to
Speaker 2: lawyer up and fight against you for opening this in Cambridge?
Speaker 3: No, we were, And if he was, would you want
Speaker 3: to really bring that to EA?
Speaker 4: Yeah you can. We had one of the first licenses there.
Speaker 4: The building is beautiful. The experience is like clean and
Speaker 4: well lit, and it looks like you're mad loves it.
Speaker 4: You're gonna but you're gonna like the when you and
Speaker 4: when you meet our bud Tech.
Speaker 3: But you're in a great location. You know why. I'll
Speaker 3: tell you why. Because now Cambridge doesn't want single family.
Speaker 3: They want all that single family that comes down to
Speaker 3: become multi family, which will bring more people to your area.
Speaker 4: Maybe. Yeah, I mean, I'm not gonna go I'm not
Speaker 4: gonna get baited by your political because you're going to.
Speaker 3: End up with more people living in Cambridge right on
Speaker 3: a Brian highway.
Speaker 4: So we've got good thing for you. You got a
Speaker 4: lot of cars that go by, and I think ultimately
Speaker 4: having the parking is really important. Being a part of
Speaker 4: the community is really important. Having a wide variety of
Speaker 4: brands is really important. But for somebody like you, you're gonna
Speaker 4: come into the store and you're gonna have somebody who's
Speaker 4: gonna be able to.
Speaker 3: Walk you and they're going to walk you through the
Speaker 3: whole experience and get you the right product and then
Speaker 3: you rub this stuff on your back or whatever they're
Speaker 3: going to offer you that he's gonna be the best. Well,
Speaker 3: if you haven't a shoulder pain, I'm.
Speaker 4: Not a doctor. Oh my god. He wants you to
Speaker 4: come to the store and talking out.
Speaker 3: Hold on, you have to smoke everything or something. You know.
Speaker 4: There's creams, there's edibles, there's tincatures, there's flour, there's We've
Speaker 4: got I mean literally, the reason that one of the
Speaker 4: biggest things that separates our store isn't just the fact
Speaker 4: that we've got this Austin brand and a great team,
Speaker 4: but we've got like the best selection of products in
Speaker 4: the Commonwealth.
Speaker 3: Okay, so that's Cambridge, and then we have again.
Speaker 4: We've got Summerville that's opening in a few months.
Speaker 3: So you've got a new store opening, new.
Speaker 4: Store opening, and I want you to do the walkthrough
Speaker 4: with us and make sure you're wearing when.
Speaker 3: You open these stores. You have to buy the location
Speaker 3: or you guys rending the location.
Speaker 4: That's just none of your business.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 4: Real estate, it's hard to it's hard to find the
Speaker 4: right real estate because it has to mean a number
Speaker 4: of different you know zone.
Speaker 3: And they can't get banking because.
Speaker 4: That's correct, you know. Yeah, I mean there's some issues
Speaker 4: come to me all the time. But also there was
Speaker 4: a lot of issues. You know, ask the Martinetti family about,
Speaker 4: you know, building on business in the Commonwealth. I mean
Speaker 4: they that they're you know.
Speaker 3: They're great grand great grandfather. But he took huge risks,
Speaker 3: yes he did.
Speaker 4: And not a lot of people wanted to be selling
Speaker 4: alcohol after prohibition, correct, and it had a huge stigma
Speaker 4: around it. But it took a lot of courage and
Speaker 4: a lot of smarts. And there's a number of families
Speaker 4: like that around the country. I think what we're trying
Speaker 4: to do is make New England really proud, try to
Speaker 4: build and tap into an authentic cannabis culture, which it is.
Speaker 4: I mean, people don't understand that these different there is
Speaker 4: like a culture that was created over seventy years in
Speaker 4: the dark around cannabis, and and what happens is is
Speaker 4: that those cultures become very separate from each other. So
Speaker 4: a cannabis culture of Los Angeles, California is very different
Speaker 4: than a New England cannabis culture. And what we're trying
Speaker 4: to do is really reflect kind of the authenticity of
Speaker 4: this community around cannabis and respect that and honor that.
Speaker 4: And I think it resonates with people who have been
Speaker 4: a part of that community, and then it attracts folks,
Speaker 4: you know, who have not been a part of it before.
Speaker 4: And that's uh, that's our story. At the Boston Garden,
Speaker 4: she's having a pandic attack.
Speaker 3: Yeah you about you probably didn't need today that I
Speaker 3: didn't I didn't eat. But we'll get to this PIC attack.
Speaker 3: Do you know, I do a person have a pic attack?
Speaker 4: Or we actually really haven't haven't What do you mean
Speaker 4: I was?
Speaker 3: I eat him. I'm in the middle of it right now,
Speaker 3: and pretend you're not having it.
Speaker 4: What do you mean you have an issue like breathing?
Speaker 3: Yeah, gonna die?
Speaker 4: But do you meditate? Do you exercise?
Speaker 3: Does that? Yes?
Speaker 4: I mean you look like you exercise every you know,
Speaker 4: every minute of the day.
Speaker 3: I just want to stand.
Speaker 4: But really, you're not meditating or doing yoga that you're trying.
Speaker 4: That's me.
Speaker 3: So you see me right now, you're taking over the question.
Speaker 4: But if you have an issue, I mean, if you
Speaker 4: have an issue actually.
Speaker 3: Having a panic attack right now with you, my student,
Speaker 3: that's really you want me to come today. Imagine that
Speaker 3: you would have washed my hands.
Speaker 4: We're here doing this together.
Speaker 3: You're not. You're not going to die. Tell people right
Speaker 3: now that if I was having a panic attack, came
Speaker 3: in you're a store. Yeah right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, by the way, they're absolutely, absolutely absolutely for me.
Speaker 4: I would do it for me personally. I would have
Speaker 4: you do like a very low dose edible or a
Speaker 4: low dose takture with high c That's what I would do.
Speaker 3: You know what they saying, We're in the middle of
Speaker 3: a panic attack. Now breathe take that doesn't work for me,
Speaker 3: I've triled it. Well, grab me some ice.
Speaker 2: Just take it from here. They tell you to put
Speaker 2: it on your.
Speaker 3: Your pressure because I can hold myself together. I think
Speaker 3: my guy screwed up my driver and gave me caffeine.
Speaker 4: And caffeine sets that off.
Speaker 3: Oh for sure, for sure, I'm a lightweight.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know, I tell them. I have a
Speaker 4: few things I tell my kids. We say on our fairness,
Speaker 4: kindness and truth. When we fall down, we get back up.
Speaker 4: We do hard things. You can do anything as long
Speaker 4: as you breathe and earn your reputation. And I feel
Speaker 4: like a few of those would be very good for
Speaker 4: the panic attack. One, you know, you can do anything
Speaker 4: as long as you breathe. And two, when you fall down,
Speaker 4: you get back up every day.
Speaker 3: So I've got an ice cube. We're in the studio
Speaker 3: and I am panic attack. We need to go up

Speaker 3: and eighteen. Okay.
Speaker 4: But now when I came back to Boston, all these people,
Speaker 4: there's all these people in Boston who have just gotten
Speaker 4: hip to the fact that like this conversation around panic attacks,
Speaker 4: like yoga will help you, like there's just no question
Speaker 4: it will, absolutely And marijuana, there's a lot of things
Speaker 4: that are unequivocal, and you'll just come to a certain
Speaker 4: point where you're either like so desperate you'll try something
Speaker 4: and then it'll work, or you'll turn the switch on
Speaker 4: and say I'm willing to like help myself, and meditation
Speaker 4: and yoga will really help you. There's a wide variety
Speaker 4: of cannabis products that could be helpful.
Speaker 3: Do you believe that cannabis products used to I used
Speaker 3: to thought, I mean personally, I thought was the gateway
Speaker 3: into drugs stuff this saying it's the gateway out drug
Speaker 3: for a lot.
Speaker 4: Of opioid stuff. For sure.
Speaker 3: Absolutely they'll lean on that.
Speaker 4: And also like alcohol too. You know, you don't like
Speaker 4: a past.
Speaker 3: Where they're just lacing everything with fatanyl. People need to
Speaker 3: go into places like yours and buy it legally, absolutely,
Speaker 3: and they don't have to worry about dying. We were
Speaker 3: at a wedding at the Four Seasons a couple of
Speaker 3: years ago, and romantic are falling down on the ground
Speaker 3: at the Four Seasons right at a wedding, Like I'm like,
Speaker 3: is there a ghas leak? That's the first thing I think.
Speaker 3: I can't smell it right in the builder. They all
Speaker 3: went to Chinatown. They bought pot and they were all
Speaker 3: it was.
Speaker 4: The are our shops. The Boston Garden is like it's
Speaker 4: a very beautiful, simple, elegant retail experience and all the products.
Speaker 3: Of course, of course stop going on the streets to
Speaker 3: buy it, but they don't need you don't need a
Speaker 3: card anymore.
Speaker 4: You can just walk in. Yeah, that's right. And we've
Speaker 4: got a great team and it's a beautiful, elegant experience,
Speaker 4: and it's very easy and it's affordable. We've got all
Speaker 4: the every variety of brand you can possibly imagine. And
Speaker 4: it's a New England company. Like we're an authentic New
Speaker 4: England company. So in the same way in which like
Speaker 4: Sam Adams really came out of Boston, you know where
Speaker 4: a Converse came really out of Massachusetts, Like that is
Speaker 4: that's what we're doing in Boston Garden. Correct We bok Yeah,
Speaker 4: a lot of sneakers, a lot of sneakers, but also
Speaker 4: like Concepts another sneaker company. Yeah, yeah, they're doing cool.
Speaker 4: You know, we've got some great fighters.
Speaker 3: Boston, Boston exactly right, Yeah, other came out of Boston.
Speaker 4: It's funny. I remember when I first came to California
Speaker 4: and I was I heard this like fung shwe people
Speaker 4: are talking about functional. God, that sounds so silly, right,
Speaker 4: But then I'd come back, I talk to somebody like you, yeah,
Speaker 4: and you'd be like yeah, like this room makes me
Speaker 4: feel like I don't.
Speaker 3: Like I get my clients believe in it. I don't know.
Speaker 4: But my point is we just have other words for it,
Speaker 4: Like we don't say function. In Boston were like, yeah,
Speaker 4: it gives me the spooks and they.
Speaker 3: Feel uncomfortable, all right, that I get.
Speaker 4: Right, So, like there's a lot of those sort of
Speaker 4: like verbiage that can be exchanged. And in terms of
Speaker 4: like dealing with panic attacks.
Speaker 3: Then okay, let me take you off my pay text,
Speaker 3: give me an opportunity. Would you bring your kids back
Speaker 3: to Boston and raise them here in school systems here? Yeah,
Speaker 3: we'll keep them in out.
Speaker 4: That's a tough one. I don't know. We've got a
Speaker 4: really good life and on it, and a lot of
Speaker 4: it I can give credit to, like, you know, my
Speaker 4: childhood in Boston, just in terms of like intellectual curiosity
Speaker 4: and an openness to diversity. Yeah, in a real way,
Speaker 4: like not in the performative way in which how so
Speaker 4: much of diversity is happening now. But I mean my kids, like,
Speaker 4: you know, I take my son to the Korean baths
Speaker 4: in Korea Town. We're like the only not Korean people there.
Speaker 4: And he marched around and goes in the cold water
Speaker 4: in the hot rooms, and we eat like Korean food
Speaker 4: in the middle section, and it's like very cool. And
Speaker 4: we go on these great hikes and.
Speaker 3: If you could live anywhere and they speak Chinese, it's
