Speaker 8: I come from Massachusetts. I work with the Flower Expo
Speaker 8: out in Michigan, which is a business to business cannabis
Speaker 8: expo that started in Massachusetts three years ago. When I
Speaker 8: met them, I was working in field marketing and for
Speaker 8: a ape company that when I left a couple months
Speaker 8: later to go on an extended vacation, Jason was one
Speaker 8: of the first people to reach out to me.
Speaker 5: To ask to work with me. So he was like, Hey,
Speaker 5: will you be the face of my brand? And I
Speaker 5: was like, absolutely, what a dream, But I'm going on
Speaker 5: vacation first. So that was kind of when I started
Speaker 5: with Flower Expo, and it was really like a slow burn,
Speaker 5: but it brought me out to Michigan, which is actually
Speaker 5: where my mother grew up.
Speaker 3: She grew up in Warren and then went t Yeah,
Speaker 3: we grew.
Speaker 5: So that's where my mom grew up too. She was
Speaker 5: born in the nineteen fifties. Actually, my mom's like seventy three.
Speaker 5: She's really cool. She's actually like one of the first
Speaker 5: female patent attorneys in the world. So lots of the
Speaker 5: time people ask like Francesca, like how have you like
Speaker 5: come so far in like the five years since, like
Speaker 5: you started in the industry, like as a bud tender
Speaker 5: and I'm like, well, like listen, like my mom's really impressive.
Speaker 5: I kind of like don't have a choice. I gotta
Speaker 5: work really hard. I work seven days a week, like
Speaker 5: I can't live down. She's really cool. I gotta do
Speaker 5: something with my life. And she's also older than most parents,
Speaker 5: so I gotta get it done fast, like.
Speaker 6: Are the best. That's all I gotta say.
Speaker 5: Yes, I actually have like the luck of being raised
Speaker 5: by lesbians. So all I got or moms. Unless you
Speaker 5: follow me on my side account, egg cowgirl, I always see.
Speaker 1: I always see it every every morning, different eggs.
Speaker 5: So aside from the eggs, I'm documenting on there that
Speaker 5: I got like some sort of ancestry or twenty three
Speaker 5: and me, I can't remember. I think it's ancestry. And
Speaker 5: I found like a relative and I can't remember her name,
Speaker 5: but she is like definitely like the sister of the
Speaker 5: sperm donor that my parents like used to create me.
Speaker 3: And I want to clarify an actual sperm donor because
Speaker 3: some people will.
Speaker 7: Call, you know, deadbeat dads and stuff.
Speaker 5: I just want to clarify which is you, Like, my
Speaker 5: culture is not a costume, okay, got you, Like they're
Speaker 5: really you know. They my parents went to the sperm bank.
Speaker 5: They read through binders and binders worth of information. They
Speaker 5: actually saved all of the research that they did. And
Speaker 5: when I was like eight years old, my mom handed
Speaker 5: me a binder like this thick and goes here, this
Speaker 5: is everything it took to make you. It took years.
Speaker 5: I was like, damn, that's crazy. I'm like such a
Speaker 5: I'm such a wild group project, absolutely nuts.
Speaker 7: They picked hair.
Speaker 5: It's so wild that they were able to genetically engineer that,
Speaker 5: and I green hair green. I was I meant to
Speaker 5: do this, you know, I'm surely blest. But one of
Speaker 5: his sisters, one of my sperm donor's sisters, reached out
Speaker 5: to me on like that ancestry thing and was like, hey,
Speaker 5: who are you and why does it look like you're
Speaker 5: my knee? And I messaged her back and I was like, so, like,
Speaker 5: my parents are lesbians, So like one of your three
Speaker 5: brothers has to be my sperm donor, because she mentioned
Speaker 5: that she had three brothers and she only had one
Speaker 5: niece that she knew of, And I was like, don't
Speaker 5: you know him? But like one of your brothers didn't
Speaker 5: tell you that he was up to making money in
Speaker 5: some different ways.
Speaker 3: It's my favorite background we've ever had. Usually people were like,
Speaker 3: you know, I got in the weed industry. No, She's like,
Speaker 3: check this out.
Speaker 5: I got the weed industry. They made. We'll get into
Speaker 5: the weeds step later. Like it's nice to meet you.
Speaker 5: Like my name's friend. I was raised by lesbians, which
Speaker 5: just makes me a second generation queer person, which is
Speaker 5: really cool. There aren't that many of us like that.
Speaker 5: My parents came out and I'm also out. Like that's very.
Speaker 6: Cool, absolutely, you know, yeah, that is I like it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like I'm very proud to be the child of lesbians.
Speaker 5: And my mom like found me and my friends smoking
Speaker 5: weed in my room when I was fourteen, and when
Speaker 5: she started, was it your first? So actually I started
Speaker 5: smoking weed when I was like thirteen or fourteen years
Speaker 5: old because my group of friends stopped hanging out with
Speaker 5: me because they thought I wouldn't smoke weed with them
Speaker 5: because I had said I had no interest in smoking
Speaker 5: weed in the past. And then they as soon as
Speaker 5: all of my friends stopped hanging out with me for
Speaker 5: two weeks, and I hit them up and I was like,
Speaker 5: I think it was like Facebook Messenger or something, and
Speaker 5: I was like, hey, like why you dude, Like, why
Speaker 5: don't you guys hang out with me anymore? Because I
Speaker 5: can see you're hanging out and like you're not inviting me,
Speaker 5: and you're all like in my neighborhood. Because that's like
Speaker 5: why we're friends is because we ride the bus together
Speaker 5: one real and they were like and they were like,
Speaker 5: we just thought you wouldn't want to hang out with
Speaker 5: us because we're smoking weed. And I was like, I'll
Speaker 5: literally do whatever drugs I have to in order to
Speaker 5: make friends. I really don't care. I was like, please
Speaker 5: don't leave me out out, Like literally, I was like,
Speaker 5: whatever it is you're doing, I'll do it. I'll jump
Speaker 5: off the bridge if I have to. I don't care.
Speaker 5: Just don't hang out with me. So I smoked weed
Speaker 5: for the first time, didn't get it. I was like okay,
Speaker 5: and like there then I would like smoke weed at
Speaker 5: parties with my friends because they wanted to smoke weed
Speaker 5: and I could get it, and that made them like
Speaker 5: me more. There was a little peer pressure there, you're
Speaker 5: saying in the beginning, for sure, fear pressure, like wanting
Speaker 5: my peers to like me. That kind of stuff was
Speaker 5: kind of like why I did it in high school.
Speaker 7: That's a social aspect of cannabis, and like it.
Speaker 3: I'm glad you brought this up because there is that
Speaker 3: kind of social pressure when you're young, right to do that.
Speaker 5: I feel like now it's like babing, but it's the
Speaker 5: same idea.
Speaker 6: I think.
Speaker 5: I don't babe anymore. I quit babing. Oh really, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: I actually I saw a meme uh that was making
Speaker 5: fun of people who vape, saying that it's an adult
Speaker 5: pacifier and that you should be embarrassed if you're a
Speaker 5: full an adult and you're sucking on a passy in public,
Speaker 5: and that like knocked it out of me. I just
Speaker 5: started bullying myself, you know.
Speaker 3: And yeah, and honestly, with vaping with cannabis, I felure.
Speaker 3: I never quite get high either, like the same way
Speaker 3: you do off just like a dab or weed.
Speaker 7: I don't think it quite hits the same. Yeah, it's
Speaker 7: like a little tease.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I have vape, like cannabis vapes because like they're
Speaker 5: gifted to me and stuff like that. But I meant
Speaker 5: like nicotinevapes oh yeah, yeah, like and the cannabis vapes,
Speaker 5: I don't use them as a main method of consumption,
Speaker 5: but like if you're traveling or something like if you're
Speaker 5: in a rental car, like summer, when'd you start smoking weed?
Speaker 5: How old were you? Oh?
Speaker 4: I was sixteen, Okay.
Speaker 5: So you weren't that far off.
Speaker 7: And it was seventeen because you were at spring break.
Speaker 6: So you were a spring break And then I smoked
Speaker 6: with my aunt once.
Speaker 1: I think I forgot which one was before, and then
Speaker 1: I got into it when we got into college together.
Speaker 6: So we're both pretty or we were older, we were
Speaker 6: old or not young. At seventeen, we were about.
Speaker 9: I'm younger, so I've been smoking. We'd probably the least
Speaker 9: amount of time we heard all of you.
Speaker 5: So are you old folks?
Speaker 6: I've been smoking mom since seventeen eighteen. We're thirty five.
Speaker 5: We're gonna years.
Speaker 6: I know that's a long time.
Speaker 5: We don't need to do that. The important thing is
Speaker 5: that we're all timeless.
Speaker 4: Age ages of mindset facts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I got many a couple we talked talking
Speaker 3: about what we got to ask this. We ask everyone
Speaker 3: what's your favorite way to consume? And I'm going to
Speaker 3: assume because of your name, but what's your favorit way
Speaker 3: to consume?
Speaker 5: Cannabis, dabbing. My dog summer is dab or too, right.
Speaker 5: I think every everybody eventually, like a flower, everyone eventually
Speaker 5: is going to fall a little bit in love with dabbing,
Speaker 5: you know, if they hang out with people who dab enough,
Speaker 5: like in good concentrats. You know, yeah, exactly you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Dad used to fuck me up.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Whatever was in that ship in the beginning was not
Speaker 5: all weed. Like.
Speaker 7: That ship was oh, no chemical butane wax a tain
Speaker 7: tained turps.
Speaker 6: Yeah, dude, that was not good.
Speaker 3: It tasted if I closed my eyes and stuff was
Speaker 3: so bad back in the day.
Speaker 4: I remember when I took my first das change a lot.
Speaker 7: Now, look at this ship that frame brought, so it's
Speaker 7: it's changed a long.
Speaker 9: Yes, I took my first dab and I was with
Speaker 9: a bunch of friends and like I was like requesting
Speaker 9: like room temperature water. I was like really, I was
Speaker 9: like giggling. I was just like I.
Speaker 4: Was having fun.
Speaker 9: I was like, oh my god, I need water, but
Speaker 9: I have to be like room temperature.
Speaker 10: It was a whole thing.
Speaker 7: Room temperature.
Speaker 5: That's what Dad did you.
Speaker 6: I was literally hot.
Speaker 4: Like I wanted too cold.
Speaker 7: I was sweating so bad. I ripped off my shirt.
Speaker 6: I was sweating so bad.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you're with me.
Speaker 3: I was on your floor exactly where I was at
Speaker 3: your living room, Flora.
Speaker 5: I was in San Francis. I was living in San France.
Speaker 5: I was with my friends black. Yeah, I was living
Speaker 5: in San Francisco. I was with my friend Alexi. Shout
Speaker 5: out to my friend Alexi dad, so you can find
Speaker 5: her on Instagram. She uh met me at Starbucks. We
Speaker 5: were like working at Starbucks together, and we like very
Speaker 5: quickly became friends because we just have like the same
Speaker 5: kind of like wild energy and spirit about us. And
Speaker 5: we would smoke a lot of weed together because I
Speaker 5: discovered living in San Francisco when I was exposed to
Speaker 5: weed in California through like the medical system that I like,
Speaker 5: I very quickly I smoked at once one time, actually
Speaker 5: after a DVT class with a girl who got into
Speaker 5: the elevator with me and went, do you smoke weed?
Speaker 5: And I, having no friends in the city, went absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 5: Can we go hang out bowl? Yeah? I was like
Speaker 5: I would literally do anything. Let's be friends, please. So
Speaker 5: we smoked weed in her mini and I was like,
Speaker 5: what is this? This is amazing. I was like, they
Speaker 5: don't have this where I'm from because I had grown
Speaker 5: up in Rhode Island. I lived in California until I
Speaker 5: was six and then I moved to Rhode Island.
Speaker 6: Over I go different.
Speaker 5: This is my first time being like in the Midwest
Speaker 5: for like long periods of time. So that musician, let's.
Speaker 3: Bring it to like why you're here because you're from Boston.
Speaker 3: You've been all over, so a little bit of history
Speaker 3: on your cammus. So what are you doing here in
Speaker 3: the Midwest.
Speaker 5: I am here working with Flower Expo and then also
Speaker 5: free Lancing. So Flower Expo is a business to business
Speaker 5: cannabis xpo. What is like?
Speaker 7: What what was all about it? Because I know you
Speaker 7: went last year, right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I went.
Speaker 1: I made it one of the days. I think it
Speaker 1: was the second day I made it, and it was
Speaker 1: in Lancing. It was a pretty cool experience because it's
Speaker 1: a consumer or just going in there.
Speaker 5: Is the one where they sold the front two bucks.
Speaker 6: Yeah, everything was like.
Speaker 5: And that's the only state where we've ever done it
Speaker 5: like that.
Speaker 6: Usually they just gifted, right yeah, And that's.
Speaker 5: That's how we're doing it this year too. Things where
Speaker 5: we were with the cra I remember here is we're
Speaker 5: doing gifting. Yeah, this the CRRA is what the regulatory
Speaker 5: agency is called in Michigan. Right, nailed it. So like
Speaker 5: they way the way that they do, like the type
Speaker 5: of event that we are classified as they had us
Speaker 5: do a dispensary, but we're doing a private event this time.
Speaker 5: That's how a little bit with at least that's how
Speaker 5: I understand it, to be honest, Like you can't take anything.
Speaker 5: Then I say with that like one hundred percent because
Speaker 5: I work on like Flower Expo has five people who
Speaker 5: work like full time hours with the team, and so
Speaker 5: all of us are like very very dedicated to exactly
Speaker 5: what we're supposed to be doing it all the time. Yeah,
Speaker 5: So like I don't understand sports, but I do know
Speaker 5: who Lebron James is, so I do very much like
Speaker 5: when Jason uses this metaphor. But the founder of the
Speaker 5: Flower Expo, Jason bellows to flatter me. Of course, he
Speaker 5: says that I am like a Lebron James. So I'm
Speaker 5: really good at like going out and talking to people.
Speaker 5: So that's what he has me do instead of worrying
Speaker 5: about the other things. So ask me like really detailed questions. Brother,
Speaker 5: my job is to like make sure that you like
Speaker 5: me and like us enough to come to the show.
Speaker 5: Everything else is like, you know you're doing in Detroit
Speaker 5: this time. Yes, I think we had feedback from people
Speaker 5: that like we needed to do the show in Detroit,
Speaker 5: like people who are really insistent on it.
Speaker 3: That's coming here for events already, so the people are
Speaker 3: kind of already kind of used to figure out what
Speaker 3: he has to do that through time and time again,
Speaker 3: Lancing is just there's not.
Speaker 5: A lot of events.
Speaker 7: I'm not knocking Lance by any.
Speaker 4: I just moved to Lansing.
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, I don't like.
Speaker 3: I love you, no, but for real, it's more or
Speaker 3: less just like I think people come used to getting
Speaker 3: Metro Detroit or sometimes you'll get the Grand Rapids, but
Speaker 3: even then it's harder to get people out there.
Speaker 5: People are used to coming to Metro Detroit.
Speaker 3: So I think you're doing that great And I just
Speaker 3: want to clarify because that's awesome that you Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think I think I recommended Detroit. When I was
Speaker 1: talking to him, I was like, when I went last year,
Speaker 1: I was like, I was hoping to be in Detroit
Speaker 1: this year, and where's it at in Detroit this year.
Speaker 5: At the Detroit Shipping Company.
Speaker 6: Okay, the event as well to August.
Speaker 5: Twenty seventh and twenty eighth.
Speaker 1: So I believe it's next week. If you're listening to
Speaker 1: this right now, I believe it will be next week.
Speaker 5: So yeah, you'll be the your calendar. Yeah, it's going
Speaker 5: to be a great time. Even though it is next
Speaker 5: week at the time that you're listening to this, you
Speaker 5: can still apply for a ticket at the Flower Expo
Speaker 5: dot com and we're gonna try to put some social
Speaker 5: clips out center so you might be hearing, oh you
Speaker 5: might be wearing a sinner. Hi. Friends, twenty seventh and
Speaker 5: twenty eighth of August, please come to the Flower Exo.
Speaker 5: Come hang out with me. It's a consumption event, it's
Speaker 5: a it's a retailer focused event, so everybody from inventory,
Speaker 5: bud tenders, owners, managers, buyers, reception, We want you guys
Speaker 5: to come out to the show and just like really
Speaker 5: get to enjoy learning about cannabis in an environment where
Speaker 5: you're not worried about going back to work in ten
Speaker 5: minutes to go deal with customers for ten hours, because like,
Speaker 5: there are many struggles in retail and it's important to
Speaker 5: have a show that's dedicated to retailers. So that's what
Speaker 5: the Flower Expo is all about. And as somebody who
Speaker 5: was working in like I guess Starbucks is kind of
Speaker 5: like food retail, right, and then I went into bud tending,
Speaker 5: right when I went into cannabis, I really appreciate having
Speaker 5: a show that is focused on retailers in the retail experience.
Speaker 5: So that's why you'll find that if you do look
Speaker 5: to buy the general admission tickets to Flower Expo, which
Speaker 5: are only available to people who work in the cannabis industry.
Speaker 5: We are also like industry exclusive. We are not just
Speaker 5: the industry focused. We're not open to consumers. I dig
Speaker 5: it though, because that's how the that's how like the
Speaker 5: actual business is getting made.
Speaker 3: You know, sometimes when you get the B two see events,
Speaker 3: there's nothing wrong with them, but you tend to sometimes
Speaker 3: get tend to sometimes you sometimes get those like just
Speaker 3: trying to get there to grab as much product as
Speaker 3: I can, where those these shows are dediticated by hey,
Speaker 3: I'm giving out product, but I'm giving out product in
Speaker 3: the sense of like hey, you'll do a buy, you'll
Speaker 3: meet someone exactly, or you know, media that we'll talk
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 5: There's some reason between marketing or.
Speaker 3: Sales, right, So you're there to generate revenue for businesses,
Speaker 3: you know, and so that makes sense. So you're here
Speaker 3: spreading the good word because we're doing in Detroit and
Speaker 3: now I know this for a fact, but I'm going
Speaker 3: to reiterate this for the podcast and all if we
Speaker 3: where else are.
Speaker 5: They We're also in Illinois. You can come to our
Speaker 5: Chicago show. That one's in September. Yeah, you can come
Speaker 5: to our Chicago show in September. If you work in
Speaker 5: the cannabis industry, if you work in retail, you get
Speaker 5: a free ticket. All you have to do is apply
Speaker 5: for your pass. Our Illinois show is going to be
Speaker 5: at the Garrity. It's going to be gorgeous, really awesome.
Speaker 7: So basically like bud tenders and like there's like.
Speaker 5: Really yeah, buttenders get free tickets. Even if you are
Speaker 5: a bud tender who is hearing this episode the day
Speaker 5: before the show, you can get a free ticket. Just
Speaker 5: email us if it's if the application is already closed.
Speaker 5: The email ops at the flowerexpo dot com. Like if
Speaker 5: you're a bud tender and you just got a job,
Speaker 5: the day before, have your manager send an email for
Speaker 5: you if there's no way for you to verify your
Speaker 5: employment yourself. You know, like we want to get you
Speaker 5: out there because you can get years worth of education
Speaker 5: by talking to those brand reps in person. You have
Speaker 5: an opportunity as a bud tender to talk to the wholesalers,
Speaker 5: talk to the marketing team and get your questions answered.
Speaker 5: And when you try new products, sometimes you have a
Speaker 5: question right off the top of your head. And if
Speaker 5: you're bud tending all day and then you get home
Speaker 5: and you have the energy to try a new product
Speaker 5: and like actually use your brain to think about it,
Speaker 5: so that way you can tell your customers about it tomorrow.
Speaker 5: If there's something that's like bothering you about it or
Speaker 5: something that's really wowing you about it, you're not really
Speaker 5: going to have the energy to look for the email
Speaker 5: on the box and then send an email for feedback.
Speaker 5: So like as like somebody who's exhibiting. I fell in
Speaker 5: love with Flower Expo as an exhibitor. I was working
Speaker 5: for pack Labs and we launched our gummies okay for
Speaker 5: the first time, Like the national launch was at the
Speaker 5: first Flower Expo in Massachusetts, and it was just such
Speaker 5: a great way to launch a new product because by
Speaker 5: the time it got to the disensories, there were already
Speaker 5: so many bud tenders who had tried it. All the
Speaker 5: buyers who would come had had samples.
Speaker 1: It also helps with education too, because educated on product,
Speaker 1: which right on to the consumer, which is going to
Speaker 1: help the industry grow and general.
Speaker 3: We're saying the consumers learn from Like maybe that's too
Speaker 3: much of exaggeration, but.
Speaker 5: Let's get probably like fifty but still.
Speaker 3: But but that's because you know, not everyone's doing the
Speaker 3: research and checking out podcasts and doing the research and actually.
Speaker 5: Looking for information.
Speaker 6: Spread us, spread, spread the spread our good words.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but slaying it bang Smacking's wing the cups.
Speaker 5: Ship.
Speaker 9: I was going I do have a comment though, I
Speaker 9: think that's a great thing that you guys are including
Speaker 9: the bud tenders in it, because I feel like they
Speaker 9: are often excluded from a lot of different industry only events.
Speaker 9: And oh so a lot of people in the industry
Speaker 9: start out as bud tenders, you know, and.
Speaker 4: So there's a huge face exactly, you.
Speaker 9: Know, like so many people start out as bud tenders,
Speaker 9: and you know, for a lot of people different people.
Speaker 9: They're always looking for different growth opportunities, so that's a
Speaker 9: great way for them to connect with different brands and
Speaker 9: you know, other opportunities for advancement in the in the
Speaker 9: space un percent.
Speaker 3: And then and I'm glad you brought that up because
Speaker 3: I remember that's that's what it is. There's I said
Speaker 3: eighty percent, but whatever percent is. They're a huge facing
Speaker 3: part of your brand. So if that education comes from them,
Speaker 3: it like it just gets you more sales in the end.
Speaker 5: You know, even if the buyer loves your product, even
Speaker 5: if you're the buyer's favorite product, they can't bring in
Speaker 5: as much of you as they want to. If the
Speaker 5: bud tenders don't love and understand your.
Speaker 1: Brand one hundred percent, they're they're the face there are
Speaker 1: people ask them when you go in. When I first
Speaker 1: started getting the cannabis ice, the butttenders, hey.
Speaker 6: What do you recommend? What are some of the good
Speaker 6: products out there?
Speaker 1: And those are usually what you do as a consumer
Speaker 1: when you're going in and you're just getting into cannabis
Speaker 1: or you want to try something different.
Speaker 5: When you're in a new market too, Like, the only
Speaker 5: thing you have to go off of it is either
Speaker 5: typing in like a brand name that you've never seen
Speaker 5: before and read it into your phone, which like we
Speaker 5: all know how trustworthy it can like be your baby,
Speaker 5: you know, like that man's like you know, especially like
Speaker 5: in a new state where you're like I don't know
Speaker 5: these user names, yeah ball fifteen, Like are you? Who
Speaker 5: is this guy? I don't know if I can trust it?
Speaker 4: My caniss.
Speaker 5: Spelled my who mechanic? Like who are So it's like
Speaker 5: when you go into a new market, like the first
Speaker 5: time I'm shopping in Michigan or the first time that
Speaker 5: I'm shopping in Illinois, it's like I'm relying on what
Speaker 5: the bud tenders are telling me, like these are the
Speaker 5: best friends. This is my favorite. Like this is.
Speaker 3: Really good point because that's a big part of the
Speaker 3: market is traveling to the people coming and then they
Speaker 3: get even bigger percentage people who are just going to
Speaker 3: learn from them.
Speaker 5: That's that's well, that's good point. You got some valid
Speaker 5: points here. And it's like your average consumer. I only
Speaker 5: have like two like really close friends that are like
Speaker 5: outside of the industry, and like the moment that I
Speaker 5: had been to Michigan, just once they started texting me

Speaker 5: great and I feel like I see a lot of people.
Speaker 5: I need a lot of new people, like people are
Speaker 5: friendly generally, like in a good mood.
Speaker 1: Like do you have the type of do you have
Speaker 1: these type of events out in a mass Massachusetts thro
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, yeah, I haven't been to the massach.
Speaker 5: One thing that's weird for me is that in Massachusetts
Speaker 5: we have like a weekly industry night at this consumption
Speaker 5: lounge in Worcester called the Summit Lounge that's owned by
Speaker 5: my friend Kyle Moon. So it's a consumption lounge. It's
Speaker 5: a consumption lounge. So Kyle opened up a lounge where
Speaker 5: you can bring your own weed and you can buy
Speaker 5: like espressos, avogados, like peanut butter and fluff sandwiches, a
Speaker 5: delicacy in Massachusetts for a Nutter.
Speaker 7: We are almost there, we do eventually. That's the big
Speaker 7: part of this episode.
Speaker 3: I really want that we want to talk about Michigan
Speaker 3: and mass Chusetts.
Speaker 4: Suff I got a perfect one right after.
Speaker 5: That's why I'm getting thoughts. And with the Michigan thoughts
Speaker 5: on Michigan events. That's like every single Wednesday, he has
Speaker 5: an industry night where like entry into the lounge is
Speaker 5: half off, so it's five dollars instead of ten dollars,
Speaker 5: and usually a brand will sponsor as well, so like
Speaker 5: you'll get like face to FaceTime with those brand reps
Speaker 5: and like you know, maybe some sample like I'm trying
Speaker 5: like some stuff, like it's good. It's a great time,
Speaker 5: so similar, that's cool. Like it's a great time, and
Speaker 5: it's every week and it's at the same place, and
Speaker 5: you like know where people are gonna be and you
Speaker 5: get to try new stuff if you haven't like if
Speaker 5: you're like if you're not that familiar, or you just
Speaker 5: get to see your friends, like and even if you
Speaker 5: don't work in the industry, you can pay the regular
Speaker 5: entry fee to get in and like be a part
Speaker 5: of it. Ten dollars.
Speaker 6: That's it is. This is this in Boston or outside Worcester.
Speaker 5: So Worcester is about an hour west of Boston, and
Speaker 5: so Woostern, Massachusetts is actually where the smiley face was
Speaker 5: invented in nineteen sixty three by a man named Harvey Ball.
Speaker 3: He insurance forst gump face.
Speaker 5: He gave him that that's stolen valor. It was Harvey
Speaker 5: Ball and it was in Worcestern, Massachusetts. Was just a
Speaker 5: stupid it was like an assignment from the insurance company
Speaker 5: that he worked for. He was asked to draw something
Speaker 5: that would spark joy, so like you know, yeah, he
Speaker 5: drew the smiley face that invented happiness in Worcester, Massachusetts. Yeah,
Speaker 5: a great place. It's also where like the WU Socks,
Speaker 5: which is the like minor league baseball team to the
Speaker 5: Boston Red Sox play, So like sometimes you'll pull up
Speaker 5: to the Summit Loude and you'll be like, oh, the
Speaker 5: parking is really shitty. I know the WLU Socks are
Speaker 5: playing right now, but like don't. It's a really really
Speaker 5: great place just to have like you know, a local
Speaker 5: lounge where you know that like Tuesday through Saturday, like
Speaker 5: if they're open, like you can go there and like
Speaker 5: you know, like someone from your community is probably going
Speaker 5: to be there, and if they're not going to be there,
Speaker 5: is going to be there. He's part of the community too.
Speaker 1: It sounds like, you know, Barcelona, the shops that we
Speaker 1: went to in Barcelona where they had the espresso. You're
Speaker 1: able to probably purchase weed, You're able to bring weed.
Speaker 1: Is Michigan is just like.
Speaker 9: Well, so far people have been nailed in wait, wait,
Speaker 9: hold on, I do want to interject I've heard a
Speaker 9: lot of really good feedback about the exhibiting port Huron.
Speaker 9: I've actually gone to get to know their Burton store
Speaker 9: through my new job, and.
Speaker 3: I will say the one in the Superior Solving list
Speaker 3: is beautiful out there in Bay City. So if you're
Speaker 3: on basit, I was going, keep kind of coming and going.
Speaker 3: I just love to see when get successful.
Speaker 5: It really difficult, like Kyle, like it is constantly like
Speaker 5: working and likes and like, so there is no dispensary
Speaker 5: that's attached to it. He does a private club model,
Speaker 5: and I'm pretty sure that like he's the only one
Speaker 5: in the state because they like you know, created a
Speaker 5: law after he did it to prevent anybody else from
Speaker 5: doing it.
Speaker 6: What damn that kind of stu. I mean, that's great
Speaker 6: for him, but like that stuck. You can't if you
Speaker 6: can there.
Speaker 5: Working on I'm not like, don't quote me on that,
Speaker 5: But there isn't another one that like functions in the
Speaker 5: same way that Kyle does. Like there's Diaspora, which is
Speaker 5: a really great like black owned one that is in
Speaker 5: I believe Cambridge, and they do events like every single week.
Speaker 5: I feel like from what I see on Instagram and
Speaker 5: like they are not open like you know, like regular hours,
Speaker 5: but they're constantly doing events with the community, so like
Speaker 5: we have also like Witch Doctor the glass blowing studio.
Speaker 5: Also like up in Salem, they have this beautiful event
Speaker 5: space that like, yeah, and you went to Salemon. You
Speaker 5: didn't invite him.
Speaker 6: My company took me. This is when I first started
Speaker 6: at my first child.
Speaker 5: And you didn't ask if your homie could come as
Speaker 5: a plus one can.
Speaker 4: Care the bed with you.
Speaker 6: We've had plenty of sleepovers.
Speaker 5: Salem should be one of them.
Speaker 6: Like you're about to go.
Speaker 11: Salem episode, Dave doesn't actually like our houses, so we
Speaker 11: go to a Greyguard or something and Scared of the
Speaker 11: Jesus should do actual tour you could do like a
Speaker 11: haunted walking tour.
Speaker 5: Did you do it?
Speaker 1: I did the I would I did. I did some
Speaker 1: type of Salem tour where I walked around some area,
Speaker 1: but it was during the day though I wanted.
Speaker 5: The nighttime ones are fine.
Speaker 1: I bet.
Speaker 5: I'll take your content, but I don't deny your audience.
Speaker 6: I'd be down. I'd be down.
Speaker 5: Would you want to see Scared Dave?
Speaker 10: Yes?
Speaker 11: Boston, all right, so one boat there we go.
Speaker 6: And if I said no, you just say yes and then.
Speaker 5: You know what the you know?
Speaker 3: Oh my god, we didn't even ask this and I
Speaker 3: didn't this. So a little background on the hat. I
Speaker 3: gotta know the hat and is it because the floor
Speaker 3: xp so actually the dam cowgirl like.
Speaker 1: Because it looks like sunflower too at the sunflower stuff
Speaker 1: for origin story.
Speaker 5: So oh, I forgot that. We learned about you and
Speaker 5: what you love, you know, the origin story. I'm so
Speaker 5: glad you asked. I get this question all the time,
Speaker 5: and it's actually it's pretty fun. So I started as
Speaker 5: a bud tender and then I eventually worked my way
Speaker 5: into being a brand ambassador for a company called Northeast Alternatives,
Speaker 5: which is actually the parent company to support a dispensary,
Speaker 5: which actually I think they just had their first harvest
Speaker 5: like this past month. A shout out to them, because
Speaker 5: they're the ones who took me out of the dispensary.
Speaker 5: My friend Hilary King hired me. She was the director
Speaker 5: of wholesale at the time, and she hired me to
Speaker 5: be a brand ambassador. And I was trained by Steven Barbosa,
Speaker 5: who was just like this, very charming, like he's still
Speaker 5: a brand ambassador at Northeast alternatives now and he's just
Speaker 5: like charming, effervescent. The stores love him, the customers crave him.
Speaker 5: People walk through the door and they just come over
Speaker 5: the table. They're like, I want to talk to this guy.
Speaker 5: And I was like, fuck, man, my hair might be green,
Speaker 5: and like my outfits might be wacky, but like I
Speaker 5: gotta get something with an edge. And I was like
Speaker 5: walking out of my basement, like probably like the second
Speaker 5: day of getting trained, and I saw this like green
Speaker 5: cowboy hat that wasn't this one. It was like a
Speaker 5: sparkly one that I don't know if I don't think
Speaker 5: I brought it with me here. I think it's like
Speaker 5: in my basement back in New England somewhere. But I
Speaker 5: saw this cowboy hat that I had worn to a
Speaker 5: hairy styles Harry Wien concert one of the best nights
Speaker 5: of my life. Not to brag. You can hear me
Speaker 5: specifically scream on the recording of him singing Somewhere over
Speaker 5: the Rainbow. Yeah, yeah he can. Do you know how
Speaker 5: beautiful he looks with rosy red blush on his cheeks
Speaker 5: in a pair of shiny red hills. So beautiful. But
Speaker 5: I was like, there were only two people in front
Speaker 5: of me. Okay, he was so beautiful. I was right there.
Speaker 5: I'm incredibly lucky. And I was in this like virtual
Speaker 5: line thing or something like you paid extra through American
Speaker 5: Express or some credit card company and then you were
Speaker 5: able to like sit on your phone like a month
Speaker 5: before the show, and like everybody clicked the button at
Speaker 5: the same time, and you got to sign a space
Speaker 5: in the line. And I was before person one hundred,
Speaker 5: so I like knew. They made us all like you know,
Speaker 5: peacefully filing and whatever. So we all like got where
Speaker 5: we needed to go, and one girl even like passed out,
Speaker 5: and then we let her. When she got better, they
Speaker 5: like walked her back to where she like everybody led
Speaker 5: her through to where she was at original Lang, which
Speaker 5: was so nice. And there was one girl because they
Speaker 5: didn't have food. Sorry this is like a side tangent,
Speaker 5: but they didn't have food for us, and they made
Speaker 5: us get there at like one or two pm, and
Speaker 5: they didn't have food for us until the regular doors opened,
Speaker 5: so by then, like everybody else had filled in the
Speaker 5: rest of GA and pushed us forward. And there was
Speaker 5: one brave girl who I will never forget, and I
Speaker 5: wish I don't know her name or her like socials.
Speaker 5: She lit was like, who wants food? Venmo me and
Speaker 5: put in like the venmo, request what you want and
Speaker 5: I will go buy it. And she came back and
Speaker 5: brought us allt food. Yeah. It was like I was like,
Speaker 5: you are. I was like, you are like a god
Speaker 5: to me. I was like, this soft pretzel is more
Speaker 5: nourishing than anything I've ever held in my hands before.
Speaker 5: But yeah, but so that hat that I wore that night,
Speaker 5: I saw in my basement and I grabbed and I
Speaker 5: just like put on without a second thought, right and
Speaker 5: very quickly I realized that like saying howdie and wearing
Speaker 5: like the fun green cowboy hat with the green hair,
Speaker 5: people were really receptive to that, and it also made
Speaker 5: them remember me, and it also made them really excited.
Speaker 3: Funny Summer described, She's like, oh, do you know dem
Speaker 3: cowgirl before we met?
Speaker 7: I was like, oh, I know, I'm not sure. She's like,
Speaker 7: oh the green hat.
Speaker 5: The green Yeah. This shout out to m J Biscon.
Speaker 10: It was super easy to find you too.
Speaker 5: Honestly, it was like it worked really well for industry events.
Speaker 5: It worked really well for like people knowing me, Like
Speaker 5: you know, and then it's like, by the time you
Speaker 5: meet me, even if you didn't know me, because Summer
Speaker 5: asked you if you knew me, as soon as you
Speaker 5: saw me, you go, oh, that's the girl Summer was
Speaker 5: talking about.
Speaker 6: And then like I didn't even know you're in Michigan
Speaker 6: and I saw you Meek Puff.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, and I think we were at Forest and
Speaker 1: I literally told you groovy right he thought he saw it.
Speaker 5: I was like, dude, that that looks like you did
Speaker 5: see me. I was or we didn't know until Africa Ship.
Speaker 5: I did scream your day, but I.
Speaker 12: Was like that can't be it a word exactly the way,
Speaker 12: but like it was.
Speaker 1: And then also a fun fact we were leaving that
Speaker 1: night noticed at Forrest's the.
Speaker 5: One and only it actually happened to me like several times.
Speaker 5: Yeah he Junkie noticed me too. Oh no Ship, yeah,
Speaker 5: oh the really nice girl who wear yeah Gaddy, she
Speaker 5: noticed me. She like like you know, she was like,
Speaker 5: oh my god, I know you from Flower X but
Speaker 5: we'll see you at the show. And I was like,
Speaker 5: oh my god, here's that. And I gave her a
Speaker 5: Flower Expo bucket hat, which actually leads me to I
Speaker 5: have these are like limited edition. I don't know for working.
Speaker 5: Thank you guys so much for having me on the show.
Speaker 4: Got the bucket mom put it on, guys.
Speaker 5: Yeah, honestly, I think the headphones on that's tired.
Speaker 3: Yes, like actually, you know what's crazy and it actually
Speaker 3: fits with the head bones on.
Speaker 5: Not too shabby. It looks good. Yeah, it's.
Speaker 6: The sixties, all right, let's get it. Let's go, let's go.
Speaker 5: People love those because they're big flower X.
Speaker 1: Well August twenty seven. Aug twenty see US did shipping container.
Speaker 5: Just right shipping company, so if you've never been there before.
Speaker 5: I actually also like, I'm kind of a nerve.
Speaker 4: This, so it's like a cow girl hat.
Speaker 5: You look, so I've never worn it like that, I'm
Speaker 5: kind of a nerd. Guys. The flyers that I hand
Speaker 5: out to the dispensaries and then also to the Oh no,
Speaker 5: I brought them for both of you guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I brought I like each day's different retailers only.
Speaker 13: Yeah, so day one is like buyers, owners managers, like
Speaker 13: you know, assistant store managers can come to that as well,
Speaker 13: I believe, but it's basically for people with decision making
Speaker 13: power in the dispensary to like have their meetings in person.
Speaker 5: That way you can like schedule pop ups, you can
Speaker 5: like come up with marketing plans, you can like I
Speaker 5: I think it's like, you know, you can do the
Speaker 5: kind of things that you would do over zoom or
Speaker 5: like you know, over an email, but in person, face
Speaker 5: to face, hopefully with so much the joint in your hands.
Speaker 1: Exactly, it's so much better when you can do it
Speaker 1: face to face. You're smoking, you're having conversations. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's how a lot of connections and network units have
Speaker 1: has happened in cannabis through years.
Speaker 6: So being able to bring that.
Speaker 1: As an event to the city with people making connections, smoking,
Speaker 1: having conversations, trying the product, Like you said, this is
Speaker 1: good stuff, Well let me get it in my shop,
Speaker 1: maybe work out a deal, yadayad YadA.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm excited. I'm excited.
Speaker 5: We'll be there.
Speaker 6: I don't know what day, maybe stop day to day two, day.
Speaker 5: Two, yeah, I think both days are valid. But likes
Speaker 5: somebody who was a bud tender, I think that's the
Speaker 5: exciting day because it's like, those are the folks who
Speaker 5: are really going to be selling your products, you know,
Speaker 5: those are the people who are like, oh.
Speaker 6: And it's long. It's twelve tone you it's going to.
Speaker 5: Be very long. Because we got feedback from the bud tenders,
Speaker 5: and we also from our show in Chicago that one
Speaker 5: went similar hours and we had lots of bud tenders
Speaker 5: that showed up later in the day that were really
Speaker 5: grateful that we were opening.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that makes it.
Speaker 1: That's smart because that is something that you do want
Speaker 1: for people that work in the industry, especially bud tenders.
Speaker 1: Who's who's going to be working the stores if they're
Speaker 1: at the event, you know, so you got to be
Speaker 1: able to have it throughout.
Speaker 6: And it's like shifts.
Speaker 1: So you've got the morning shift, you can go on afternoon,
Speaker 1: if you're working the night shift, you go on.
Speaker 6: The boarding vice versa.
Speaker 5: Pretty cool. I'm excited for I'm excited the plan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would like to go check because we'll try
Speaker 1: and product.
Speaker 6: So for Chicago, they do the same thing. It's like
Speaker 6: the samples.
Speaker 1: You're able to try the product, similar style and stuff,
Speaker 1: and you're able to smoke at the event.
Speaker 5: Yes, it's a great time. So Chicago was such a
Speaker 5: lively show the first time that we did it in
Speaker 5: the spring and it was the only show where we've
Speaker 5: ever like you know, kind of dipped our toe in
Speaker 5: the water and started with one day instead of two
Speaker 5: and are we were so well received that we're doing
Speaker 5: another show even though we did our first show in
Speaker 5: Chicago in Marshall, So you're going back kind of like
Speaker 5: we're going back before our second year because they were
Speaker 5: so excited and happy to have us. We love Chicago.
Speaker 6: That's good.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I And honestly, the me and Jason did the
Speaker 5: architecture tour after the show. This it was that was amazing.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, Chicago.
Speaker 5: It was so good. He was like, we could do
Speaker 5: one thing or the other. Do you want to see
Speaker 5: the bean or doing an architecture tour? And I was like,
Speaker 5: I want to see the buildings the bean. It was like,
Speaker 5: I want to see the buildings. Be is so like
Speaker 5: you would you see it eventually, It's like but it's like.
Speaker 3: A I don't know, man, I'm just so underwhelm because
Speaker 3: especially I lived there for a little while, so every
Speaker 3: time someone came, the sixth time you're showing someone the bean,
Speaker 3: he'right there.
Speaker 5: It is you know what I mean? You go you
Speaker 5: go under your cool. It's mirror. All right, well, going
Speaker 5: with some coffee you'renn drink. It's like a five minute
Speaker 5: so many I love Chicago once a day, but this
Speaker 5: is the fun part. And now that we're smoking is
Speaker 5: the perfect time. Whenever he least expects it.
Speaker 3: I want to go back and forth between questions about
Speaker 3: what why we want you to ask us Michigan questions,
Speaker 3: and we're gonna try to We're going to try our
Speaker 3: best to ask you some bossing questions.
Speaker 7: It can be industry related, it cannot.
Speaker 3: The reason the reason why we brought this up, though,
Speaker 3: is because you coined a term that me and Dave
Speaker 3: still make jokes all the time about.
Speaker 5: So it wasn't it wasn't just me. It wasn't really
Speaker 5: me at all. I feel like it was Kara, my
Speaker 5: friend the Cannabis manicurists, when we were I think it
Speaker 5: was when we were in Vegas, right roll. Yeah, he
Speaker 5: rolls the toolips. That's what she's really well known for
Speaker 5: in the cold. I think she also won Rookie of
Speaker 5: the Year for the Raw World Championship for rolling this
Speaker 5: last year. Yeah, with her gully it was really beautiful
Speaker 5: and she worked on it for a really long time,
Speaker 5: like she really it's fern gully is what she called it.
Speaker 5: And it had like frogs and like lily pads and
Speaker 5: it was only out of papers and weed that I
Speaker 5: believe was gardens by Guilts.
Speaker 2: That's such a cool art crazy, I love it. I
Speaker 2: can roll joints an artist, like.
Speaker 5: Yeah, now I just rolled my first joint and it
Speaker 5: was actually because I got into Kara has showed me
Speaker 5: a million times, like the easiest way to roll a
Speaker 5: joint that she says, and I still never roll them
Speaker 5: because I'm like, girl, we're friends. Like if I want
Speaker 5: to smoke a joint, I'm just gonna ask you if
Speaker 5: you want to hang out, like let's be so for real,
Speaker 5: Like I love to dab. I never want to smoke
Speaker 5: a joint that bad. That like, I don't have a
Speaker 5: friend that's gonna roll for me if I want to
Speaker 5: smoke one, or like a pre roll company that I love,
Speaker 5: like paper Crane that's gonna like hook me up. You know.
Speaker 7: I understand that, right, Yeah.
Speaker 5: It's like I'm like I can take care of us
Speaker 5: with the dabs, you can take care of us with
Speaker 5: the rolls, like I'm good. It's the perfect and yang,
Speaker 5: yes it is but when you're watching this, you should
Speaker 5: tag your friend. That's the gin to your yang, and
Speaker 5: the dab to your.
Speaker 6: Who's your flower, the.
Speaker 5: Honey to your lettuce?
Speaker 10: Who's the dab to your egg?
Speaker 6: I love eggs, eggs?
Speaker 5: How do you guys take your eggs?
Speaker 6: Over easy? It's my favorite?
Speaker 9: I prefer.
Speaker 4: Depends on that too, dry, scrambled or baked.
Speaker 5: What's the thing with paprika?
Speaker 4: You know, like an egg bite the devil?
Speaker 5: Deviled eggs? Okay, okay, I paprika? What do you mean? No?
Speaker 5: Hold on only one?
Speaker 7: Never try?
Speaker 5: Wa? Wait? Wait?
Speaker 4: And I do like eggs, Benedict. I like eggs, Benedict?
Speaker 5: What you say? I do like eggs? Bended eggs? Egg
Speaker 5: is the best? Y'all? You like eggs? I didn't know
Speaker 5: what would be doing egg debate. I didn't know either,
Speaker 5: but that eggs would come up. It doesn't make sense
Speaker 5: that eggs would come up.
Speaker 6: Over easy is the way to go.
Speaker 3: Doubled eggs, if I'm gonna go, my favorite, because I'll
Speaker 3: put so much pepper out of there.
Speaker 5: It's like barely egg. I love it.
Speaker 9: Oh wait, do you not like paprika or doubled egg
Speaker 9: I don't like double the eggs either.
Speaker 5: I don't like hardoil because I haven't you make some
Speaker 5: weird soft boiled egg I've only ever seen.
Speaker 7: I've never seen it before you started posting never.

Speaker 5: in the soup. Man, I didn't eat the egg. That's okay.
Speaker 5: I'm glad that we're here and we're talking about it.
Speaker 9: Yeah, enlightenment, listen.
Speaker 5: We all need to learn somehow, you know. Yeah, And
Speaker 5: I'm like, I'm happy I could teach you because the
Speaker 5: soft boiled egg goes really underappreciated in America. I think
Speaker 5: I think it goes often overlooked. Most theTimes I go
Speaker 5: to restaurants I ask about it, They're like, whoa, we
Speaker 5: don't do that here, really know where? I don't know
Speaker 5: where you're having, like, we don't we don't do those
Speaker 5: types of eggs around. I don't want to egg. And
Speaker 5: I'm like, the harder version of a soft boiled egg, Yeah,
Speaker 5: a poach tag is literally like a harder version of
Speaker 5: a socking boiled egg. And they don't know. No, I
Speaker 5: mean like harder is and it's more difficult to make
Speaker 5: because it's like out of the shell and you have
Speaker 5: to like swirl it in the water. Do you know
Speaker 5: what a poach tag is? It's okay, So like poast
Speaker 5: eggs are like.
Speaker 6: You, let's go through all that different eggs real quick.

Speaker 5: to right now that's in November November first is the
Speaker 5: very heady Holiday Party in New York. It's one of
Speaker 5: the last events.
Speaker 3: Right about New England's community that they all really are
Speaker 3: so inclusive to each other around Ohio and Michigan because
Speaker 3: we are farther apart.
Speaker 7: We don't get that as much like crossover as y'all do.
Speaker 5: I love that. Well, it's like I can get to
Speaker 5: New York in like four hours, You're right, you know.
Speaker 5: So it's like yeah, yeah, it's the same way as
Speaker 5: you guys. That's the same differences you guys going up.
Speaker 5: You guys are going up to the Upper Peninsula this weekend.
Speaker 5: We would we would just be hitting the bridge.
Speaker 6: Yeah, eight hours. It's eight hour drive.
Speaker 5: It's about four hours from where you live.
Speaker 1: It's about like three and a half from where yeah,
Speaker 1: four So I was talking all the way up though
Speaker 1: the Republic about eight hour drive.
Speaker 7: Oh, or we're going Yeah, see, if you're going straightway.
Speaker 4: See, it's a little diffusing because if you go to
Speaker 4: like you can.
Speaker 3: Drive through Michigan for like ten hours because you can
Speaker 3: go all the way to like Copper Harbor, right, But
Speaker 3: if you want to just go to like to Canada,
Speaker 3: like Sus Saint, it's only.
Speaker 7: Like five five and a half, I think, all the
Speaker 7: way through.
Speaker 3: But that's like straight up, yeah, it's it's I love Michigan,
Speaker 3: but it's.
Speaker 5: Like, honestly, like I love Michigan, but yeah, that's why
Speaker 5: I'm able to like go to New York like that
Speaker 5: is because it's like four hours away and you're in Massachusetts,
Speaker 5: Rhode Island or like you know, is that like.
Speaker 3: New York City or like, oh sorry, I keep going
Speaker 3: back to the Michigan Boston.
Speaker 5: US Like, you guys should come out for the very
Speaker 5: heavy holiday party. I convinced Sam from uh Midnight Smoking
Speaker 5: to come out. Shout out, Yeah, come out November first,
Speaker 5: get your ticket. They sell out. I'm like, that's not
Speaker 5: even kidding. You guys should come out. It's like really
Speaker 5: fun you go to that community. So what was your
Speaker 5: first experience at lakes Michigan Lake? Honestly, it was so beautiful,
Speaker 5: absolutely gorgeous. Uh. That was actually where I found out
Speaker 5: that Michigan, the lakes in the Midwest, like the Great Lake,
Speaker 5: they are glaciers. Summer told me. I was like, that's crazy.
Speaker 5: They're melted glaciers. No fucking way. And I've been telling
Speaker 5: all my friends back home about that because they had
Speaker 5: no idea, because I had no idea. None of us knew.
Speaker 7: You didn't you ask me about pop?
Speaker 5: Yes? Yeah. One of my questions for you guys is
Speaker 5: if it makes you cringe when I call like when
Speaker 5: I call it soda?
Speaker 6: So it soda.
Speaker 5: Do you cringe?
Speaker 9: Unfortunately I started calling it soda, and I apologize to
Speaker 9: all of my sounds.
Speaker 5: Like you're being proper, you know what I mean? Like, oh, soda,
Speaker 5: it's pop.
Speaker 1: Man, I would probably say pop, but like I don't
Speaker 1: drink much pop. Yeah, yeah, but people the comments might
Speaker 1: take offense to that.
Speaker 4: Okay, listen, listen.
Speaker 9: I also don't really drink pop anywhere. But also when
Speaker 9: I think pop, like the connotation is like fago, like
Speaker 9: cotton can candy, like fag pop, you know, like something.
Speaker 4: Yes, I love like the like fun sweet flavors.
Speaker 9: Right, but when when I think of like pepsi your favorite,
Speaker 9: I think of I don't really.
Speaker 5: Think like.
Speaker 9: I love kanon candy fago, but you know what, yeah,
Speaker 9: or I also really enjoyed that new bubble gum fago
Speaker 9: that was the ship. Yeah, that was the ship.
Speaker 7: Cherry Coke has always been my favorite.
Speaker 5: Cherry co Cherry coke specifically is the top tier secret
Speaker 5: had I mean, that would be like a really weird,
Speaker 5: But I do have one friend that over coke. Do
Speaker 5: you guys prefer pepsi or coke coke? She's thinking about it.
Speaker 5: That's like neither.
Speaker 10: Cool let's go with.
Speaker 6: That red pop will kill me.
Speaker 9: But here's all right, I have to like really limit
Speaker 9: the amount of sugar I also consume, so I'm not
Speaker 9: like really drinking.
Speaker 7: Of that about.
Speaker 9: But if I do grab a pop or like a soda,
Speaker 9: it's typically like like a diet pepsi or something.
Speaker 3: I just think it shows that you're not Midwest, that's all.
Speaker 3: It's like, that's it's not really a big deal. My
Speaker 3: mom's from Jersey and she still says soda, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean.
Speaker 5: Soda?
Speaker 7: Yeah, Joysey, New Jersey water Colfe.
Speaker 5: That's my mom. She's real Jersey.
Speaker 7: So I think I got that kind of accent from her,
Speaker 7: Like I've heard.
Speaker 5: It, you know what I mean. So you guys, ever
Speaker 5: been to Boston? Yeah? What do you got you any questions?
Speaker 4: I've never been to Boston.
Speaker 7: I mean in Boston, Massachusetts or Massachusetts.
Speaker 9: Maybe when I was like really little, like beyond memory capacity.
Speaker 5: Oh, I got one.
Speaker 3: The different This is just difference between Michigan and Boston.
Speaker 3: What do you think about our Michigan turnarounds?
Speaker 5: Her left? I hate those. It's weird turn left, riding
Speaker 5: on the wrong side of the road. I'm driving it's
Speaker 5: the one where it's like it makes you drive on
Speaker 5: the wrong side of the road to like hug.
Speaker 3: The try to explain this to people from Masters. You've
Speaker 3: never been to Midwest, I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't know how you're going course, Like every time
Speaker 5: the GPS tells me this is that, I almost miss
Speaker 5: it unless my friends are in the car and they're like, hey,
Speaker 5: you need to check it out. So instead of turning left,
Speaker 5: you pass the.
Speaker 3: Street you want to do, turn around, and then turn right.
Speaker 3: So instead of turning left, you turn left kind of
Speaker 3: and then you turn right.
Speaker 5: Is okay, it's funny. It's like it's I don't I
Speaker 5: don't hate it. I don't love it. It's something to
Speaker 5: get used to, you know. It's like not as weird
Speaker 5: as like the the like you guys don't put your
Speaker 5: cards back like that, Like that's that's weird.
Speaker 3: Oh cards, So that was another one you were talking
Speaker 3: about cards.
Speaker 5: You guys, we have a lot of laser Like it's
Speaker 5: just like but everything so nice.
Speaker 3: The Winner people people are like, ah, this is like
Speaker 3: in the slush.
Speaker 5: If I feel so bad for people with back, I'll
Speaker 5: put mine back. I do. I do because I'm not
Speaker 5: I know I'm at all these.
Speaker 9: I'm getting I will put my card back forever just
Speaker 9: so that Francesca will continue to be my friend.
Speaker 6: That's fair.
Speaker 1: Anytime I'm gonna leave the card out, be like down watching.
Speaker 5: I'm looking down on him, making sure he's making good decision,
Speaker 5: kind of like Santa Claus, you.
Speaker 6: Know, better push that card and.
Speaker 1: Yea.
Speaker 6: Yeah. So they actually putting all their cards into Massachusetts.
Speaker 5: That's like, like, not like that much, but it's just
Speaker 5: I feel like the degree of which guys don't is
Speaker 5: higher here. There is a lot of attitude if someone
Speaker 5: gets paid to do that.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 1: Driving our drivers, I feel like we have very like
Speaker 1: crazy drivers.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't really notice anything. I think you guys
Speaker 5: are really tame in terms of driving. You guys drive
Speaker 5: really fast, but that's it. Like guys really, but you
Speaker 5: guys aren't like assholes about it.
Speaker 7: Like see.
Speaker 3: I think Boston has a reputation of being like rude,
Speaker 3: but I don't think it's rude. I think East Coast
Speaker 3: is very direct and sometimes you can they're just busy.
Speaker 5: They're direct.
Speaker 3: No, I think my New Jersey, New York, Boston they're
Speaker 3: just like, hey, what the Fok's wrong?
Speaker 5: With you just like they say that out of love
Speaker 5: and concern. Bad thing. They're just direct, like going out
Speaker 5: with your face.
Speaker 4: I think I started trying immediately.
Speaker 5: Just New York where I was just after this. It's
Speaker 5: like when they say, hey, it's wrong with your face summer,
Speaker 5: they mean like hey, like what they're getting They're giving
Speaker 5: you stace to open up your face and they need
Speaker 5: to go, oh well, like I have like like, that's
Speaker 5: what is wrong with my pat me tell you, like.
Speaker 3: You know, the South will give you like like whimsical metaphors.
Speaker 5: New York gives you.
Speaker 3: Like like New York East Coast will give you like
Speaker 3: kind of metaphoric, but like you know, kind of that way,
Speaker 3: darker way.
Speaker 5: You gotta pay attention. That's that's what kind of correct.
Speaker 5: Like I'm home, Like for that week that I was home,
Speaker 5: there were plenty of times where I just like sat
Speaker 5: and listened to people's conversations. I feel like I'm in
Speaker 5: a hot tub of everybody's words right now, Like how
Speaker 5: soothed by everybody accents in the way they you know,
Speaker 5: like oh you know what then?
Speaker 9: Speaking of accents, I would you describe like the Michigan
Speaker 9: accent versus like the Massachusetts accent.
Speaker 5: Well, like the way you say accent is like focused
Speaker 5: on the act. You can hear it in like this
Speaker 5: part of your day.
Speaker 7: Accent in Michigan, Michigan.
Speaker 5: And like Boston is just like I don't know, it's
Speaker 5: like y'all your ours become u ages.
Speaker 3: It's like like uhe are I know it's it.
Speaker 5: Sounds like I don't know, it sounds like long Gate.
Speaker 5: It sounds comforting to me, like I don't know, it
Speaker 5: just sounds like good, like I don't sound like that.
Speaker 5: But well no, no, I mean yeah, I love it,
Speaker 5: like my like yeah, no, I just that's what every
Speaker 5: accent is like like sometimes to imitate it, but like
Speaker 5: not under pressure, but like if no one's really paying attention,
Speaker 5: I can do a really good Kyle moonssion, but like
Speaker 5: when people are like if I'm being recorded or if
Speaker 5: like he's around, I can't do it.
Speaker 9: I think it's really interesting just to kind of like
Speaker 9: compare and contrast, like just like different cultures and populations.
Speaker 5: I think it's really interesting. Said no.
Speaker 3: And that's the thing like in Europe, all these countries
Speaker 3: are just as far as our states are, having a
Speaker 3: different dialect of English makes sense, right.
Speaker 7: We look and we look at it as an accent,
Speaker 7: but really it's a different dialect.
Speaker 3: I know I'm exaggerating, but if you really find someone
Speaker 3: who's like born raised like Boston, this is someone born
Speaker 3: and raised Detroit, They're gonna sound way different.
Speaker 5: Right. The really big American flags on the poles on
Speaker 5: every side of the what's last time this is America?
Speaker 5: I know, I just I've never seen anything. I was
Speaker 5: just like driving around for work and then all of
Speaker 5: a sudden, I turned down this street and there are
Speaker 5: these giant American flags on either side, and I was like,
Speaker 5: are they literally? Like I I called the Michelle. I
Speaker 5: was like, are they celebrating?
Speaker 6: Yeah, A lot of businesses do have flags out here too.
Speaker 5: But it wasn't like a business thing the businesses I expect,
Speaker 5: like we have tons of businesses with giant American flags
Speaker 5: on the East Coast, but like this was like an
Speaker 5: organized like.
Speaker 3: I never thought about it, but it is very common
Speaker 3: to have like flags like that, and I yeah, I
Speaker 3: guess it's.
Speaker 5: Not like the Boston, especially going north, it's like on
Speaker 5: both sides of the street like that. That's small towns.
Speaker 5: You do kind of get that you'll get it. But
Speaker 5: it's like you forum, it's not even like there were
Speaker 5: businesses doing it. It's like it had to be like
Speaker 5: the city or something.
Speaker 7: Is it a smaller town, because sometimes you do get
Speaker 7: that in smaller towns.
Speaker 5: It wasn't. I was in Detroit somewhere, Oh interesting, a
Speaker 5: gross point, maybe.
Speaker 6: Indian village.
Speaker 5: I guess.
Speaker 7: I can't say it's common, but it happens.
Speaker 5: I've seen that before.
Speaker 6: I mean, there's a lot of flags all throughout thet.
Speaker 5: And I was just joking.
Speaker 3: I really make that joke all the time about North Texas.
Speaker 3: But I just do think there is a certain level
Speaker 3: of like when you go up north Maine, it can
Speaker 3: be yeah, American flags hanging off trucks type of.
Speaker 5: Thing, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: Northern Michigan very rule.
Speaker 5: I mean, like we have like places in Massachusetts that
Speaker 5: are like that, too.
Speaker 6: Best Chooses isn't too big.
Speaker 5: Is it? It's not that big. It's not that big
Speaker 5: at all. It's not. It's so cute and tiny. All
Speaker 5: of the New England states are also cute and tiny,
Speaker 5: except for Maine is kind of big. Main is kind
Speaker 5: of big. But all the rest of New England, the
Speaker 5: states are pretty cute and tiny.
Speaker 9: I have a question, then, So, with all the states
Speaker 9: being so close together, and with several states being on
Speaker 9: the smaller side, what's the conversation, you know, in terms
Speaker 9: of being able to have cannabis cross state lines in
Speaker 9: New England?
Speaker 5: They can't because it's not federally legal.
Speaker 9: Is there like conversation about it or like initiatives to.
Speaker 3: Be able to about That's complicated because unless you get
Speaker 3: your criminalization or legal really can't do that.
Speaker 5: That's it. Like there was the closest thing to that
Speaker 5: that we had was that the Martha's Vineyard and the
Speaker 5: Nantucket Islands. Those stores both basically like they lost the
Speaker 5: grows on the island and they basically like petitioned to
Speaker 5: be like, hey, like we have no other way to
Speaker 5: get wead we need to be able to buy from
Speaker 5: the mainland. And also like these aren't international waters anyways,
Speaker 5: so like it's dumb that you're not letting us do
Speaker 5: this in the first place. And then like the regulatory
Speaker 5: agency was like, okay, yeah, you can like send weed
Speaker 5: over by boat. So now they're like voting over weed
Speaker 5: to Martha's Vineyard and then Tucket. So if you buy
Speaker 5: weed Connecticut, Massachuset. Okay, thent I get as Massachusetts. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and so is Martha's Vineyard. Okay.
Speaker 7: For some reason, I thought they were like separated.
Speaker 5: No, no, no, they're both. They both belonged to Massachusetts. Hey, hey,
Speaker 5: I don't think Connecticut has any like famous islands like that.
Speaker 5: To my knowledge, Rhode Island has Block Island, which is
Speaker 5: like their version of like Nantucket Martha's n No, I
Speaker 5: just missed.
Speaker 3: For some reason, I thought you said that was the
Speaker 3: kind of a loophole to get it to another state.
Speaker 5: I was like, whoaa, and that's what blew my mind.
Speaker 5: They ever, yeah, no, no, you still don't see it
Speaker 5: in another state. So like there are brands that, like
Speaker 5: you could definitely get in both states, but they'll be
Speaker 5: manufactured in those separate states. You know. It's just like, yeah,
Speaker 5: how you can get good tides here and you can
Speaker 5: get good tides in Chicago, and the good tides in
Speaker 5: Chicago I only have ten milligrams. So I was so
Speaker 5: used to those. So then when I gave my friend
Speaker 5: a good tide from Michigan, I gave it to her
Speaker 5: and I was like, don't worry, it's only ten milligrams.
Speaker 5: And then I was like, oh, no, I lied to you.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry. It's like, no, it wasnny in the one
Speaker 5: thought that I have those. Shout to Scooby. It gave
Speaker 5: them something. The CBS cn cbg ones are my favor friend.
Speaker 9: I love the CBG the Strawberry Kiwi with the CBD
Speaker 9: and CBG immaculate. And I do want to say with
Speaker 9: oh this is yes, yes, I like them.
Speaker 5: Before summer worked there though, I just want to say.
Speaker 9: And before I started there fran a whole bag of
Speaker 9: pair of wild gummies that someone gave very cool. So
Speaker 9: it's just like very ironic.
Speaker 10: But going back to.
Speaker 9: Just kind of like the crossing state borders with New
Speaker 9: England being the entire just like region being comparable and
Speaker 9: the size of you know, California for example, I think
Speaker 9: it would definitely be very beneficial for the region to
Speaker 9: be able to you know, cross between two.
Speaker 5: Actually, like Delaware just legalized recreational this week. They weren't
Speaker 5: recreational type, so shout out to Delaware. Yeah, America's first
Speaker 5: state just one leg Yeah, that's pretty crazy.
Speaker 6: Congratulates pill fifty thirty states legal.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's good that it happened for them in
Speaker 5: the summer because del has like beaches from right here.
Speaker 5: I spent much time there at all. I apparently don't
Speaker 5: know right these states are. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I've only been in Massachusetts on the East coast. Really,
Speaker 1: I mean New York. But I'm I'm thinking, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: thinking right up on the.
Speaker 7: Water, New York is or city is on the water, right, yes, yes, that's.
Speaker 5: What I'm confused.
Speaker 1: Damn, yeah, I remember in the Atlantic Ocean. I'm thinking
Speaker 1: the Atlantic Ocean covering the That's how I was going.
Speaker 5: More so actually challenge geography.
Speaker 9: I was in the geography being middle school guys.
Speaker 5: Guys, I have a question if there was like a
Speaker 5: cannabis like spelling be would you guys want to watch
Speaker 5: Like I want to have people like spell different terpenes
Speaker 5: and ship get really high? Could not even I want
Speaker 5: something to be really easy because I want to make
Speaker 5: people like take a dab first or something like. You know,
Speaker 5: if the sponsors are like dab companies, like flower companies,
Speaker 5: I think it would be fun. I would lose.
Speaker 3: I can't spell when I'm sorry, Yeah, spoke a lot,
Speaker 3: but it would be funny, right, fun watching people trying
Speaker 3: to spell to age you guys take a dab before it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's my That would be my goal.
Speaker 5: I think would be to get like dab sponsors and
Speaker 5: flower sponsors, so that way we can be like, okay,
Speaker 5: and next of it is like you know Dave and
Speaker 5: he's gonna spell uh linn a little and it's sponsored
Speaker 5: by like, you know, like this brand, and like you
Speaker 5: know this brand is going to have him take a
Speaker 5: dab of this first before he spells. Yeah, exactly connected. Yeah,
Speaker 5: that would be. They've done all sorts of events. Man,
Speaker 5: there's always something. I feel like that would be goofy.
Speaker 5: I've seen bingo. I feel like I feel like a
Speaker 5: spelling bee would be funny because then also like that
Speaker 5: would be like a goofy thing. Imagine putting that on
Speaker 5: your LinkedIn as awards and accomplishments, like you won the
Speaker 5: Detroit Cannabis spelling Bee. I'd put it on there, you know.
Speaker 5: I totally would like, would what are we going to
Speaker 5: start this? Someone someone's like presented by.
Speaker 6: Let's go, let's do it.
Speaker 5: Let's go guys. I like it. Yeah, I think it
Speaker 5: would be fun. We just and it's like one of
Speaker 5: those things where people can all sit, so we could
Speaker 5: have like tables in the front for people to reserve
Speaker 5: beforehand for people who want to bring pieces, and then
Speaker 5: other people could get like seated chairs for like, you know,
Speaker 5: the people we just want to smoke joints for a table. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I can see what happened to the AM. I canna
Speaker 5: cast spelling. Hey, any other events? First, I don't know
Speaker 5: what it is yet because I just proposed this idea
Speaker 5: right now. Time this gets published, and if we do,
Speaker 5: we're going to put it right here.
Speaker 4: Yes, first annual. Definitely not rigged either.
Speaker 5: Definitely not rigged either.
Speaker 3: It makes it sound so yeah Summer.
Speaker 5: Why did you say that?
Speaker 6: Because want the place first place, buy us.
Speaker 5: Summer.
Speaker 3: There's no affiliation with the spelling words as our champion.
Speaker 4: They're going to band me.
Speaker 5: She answers you.
Speaker 7: Two dads before you're spelling. She's handicapped.
Speaker 5: She comes in with a handicap. That's like like golf.
Speaker 5: I think you have any more questions.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of interesting things about the Midwest versus
Speaker 3: the East Coast. I think I just that turnaround thing
Speaker 3: always cracks me up, because like when I went over there,
Speaker 3: that was the one that was all right, just your left.
Speaker 9: What is what is your favorite part of the Massachusetts market.
Speaker 5: My favorite part of the Massachusetts market is the people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds like you guys have a good culture
Speaker 1: out there. You've told us a good culture community that
Speaker 1: was probably stemmed from the medical days as well too,
Speaker 1: But I feel like they are just.
Speaker 5: Like a lot of people out there who really care,
Speaker 5: Like I'm sorry, you guys run into that here too,
Speaker 5: and just like the people in Massachusetts are really fiercely
Speaker 5: like loyal to like their friends and what they believe in.
Speaker 5: So like I feel like that's kind of where part
Speaker 5: of that like directness comes from. Is a lot of them.
Speaker 5: Like someone like my friend Brannon, who was like born
Speaker 5: and raised like in the Boston area. It's just like
Speaker 5: she knows exact actly like how she feels, like when
Speaker 5: she feels it, and like she'll have no problem telling you.
Speaker 5: And like she's one of those people where a lot
Speaker 5: of the times she'll like give me advice before I'm
Speaker 5: ready to hear it, and then like you know, like
Speaker 5: six months later, I'll be like, damn, Mary, I should
Speaker 5: have listened to you, and she'll be like, yeah, I
Speaker 5: know yet, Like and like there's just something like about
Speaker 5: that that is really comforting for me, like knowing that,
Speaker 5: like I have this like entire group of people that
Speaker 5: are like fiercely rooting for me no matter where I am,
Speaker 5: because they're also very proud of the people who like
Speaker 5: come from where they come from, and like the people
Speaker 5: of Massachusetts really adopted me. Like I the part of
Speaker 5: New England that I come from is like actually right
Speaker 5: outside of Massachusetts. It's Technicallyhode Island. But I started my
Speaker 5: career in Massachusetts, and I really didn't feel at home
Speaker 5: in New England until I started to grow my community
Speaker 5: within Massachusetts. So like I feel like the people in
Speaker 5: Massachusetts really know their people and they stick by them
Speaker 5: in a way that's really nice and special. Huh. There,
Speaker 5: I wouldn't even call them inclusive, to be honest, I
Speaker 5: feel like they're exclusive in a way that's very level.
Speaker 5: Does that make sense yeah one of us? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 5: Like you know, yeah, we're a team, Like we are
Speaker 5: all part of the Red Sox family, Like we are
Speaker 5: all rooting for the Patriots, we're all rooting for the Celtics.
Speaker 5: Like it's like I don't even I don't even know
Speaker 5: anything about sports, but it's like when the Celtics won, Like,
Speaker 5: I went out and I handed out free free roles.
Speaker 7: What's up with the beef between the Red Sox and
Speaker 7: the Yankees.
Speaker 6: It's just Boston and New York Sports.
Speaker 5: New York Sports. They're just like And there was also
Speaker 5: like this to be like okay, like there was this
Speaker 5: whole curse, Like there was this whole curse. Listen, and
Speaker 5: it was lifted when I was in elementary school, and
Speaker 5: it was a really big deal, especially for me personally,
Speaker 5: because I bet my friends that I would be a
Speaker 5: Red Sox fan for the rest of my life if
Speaker 5: they won the World Series that year, and they did win.
Speaker 5: So here I am years later, what is this thing?
Speaker 5: What is this curse? There was like this curse. I
Speaker 5: don't know. I was really young at the time it
Speaker 5: got cured, so like, yeah, can you tell us, you
Speaker 5: tell me, I'll look up.
Speaker 1: The Red Sox traded away picture to the Yankees and
Speaker 1: he got cursed.
Speaker 6: I think it was Babe Ruth. I want to be mistaken.
Speaker 5: Ye. So basically like the Red Sox traded away some
Speaker 5: really good player to the Yankees and then he like
Speaker 5: popped off and blew up and the Red Socks were like,
Speaker 5: I can't believe my ex would get hotter with you?
Speaker 5: What this is a curse. It was largely like if that,
Speaker 5: if that happened to me, I would probably feel the
Speaker 5: same way. Imagine like you tell your ex to like
Speaker 5: get lost, I don't need you, like, go be with
Speaker 5: someone else, like, you know, go be with the man
Speaker 5: you told me not to worry about. I don't care girl,
Speaker 5: like it'll be fine. And then the two of them
Speaker 5: become like a power couple, like they're doing way better
Speaker 5: than you, and like you know, and you're just like
Speaker 5: falling off and you're like damn, and I like threw
Speaker 5: you away to the side, Like that is kind of
Speaker 5: a curse, Like I would feel cursed. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 5: really think they're being dramatic about it.
Speaker 6: Four or something like that.
Speaker 5: I think it was two thousand and.
Speaker 7: Four, but I don't really need.
Speaker 6: Deficit.
Speaker 5: It's a bambino. Yeah, it was n eighty six years
Speaker 5: until two thousand and four. Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I was hoping.
Speaker 5: It went.
Speaker 1: Crazy occur the Curse the Billy Goat, which is all
Speaker 1: over one hundred years and they won the World Series.
Speaker 5: So one thing that is really really crazy is like
Speaker 5: the seeing the baseball park stadiums that are like updated,
Speaker 5: like the one that you guys have, because ours is
Speaker 5: like antique in vintage. And she's like sexy. Don't get
Speaker 5: me wrong, but you're like water effects, Like someone will
Speaker 5: get a home run and like water will pop off
Speaker 5: from like the back of this like fancy thing that's you,
Speaker 5: And I'm like, what the hell, that's so cool.
Speaker 1: But you have the green Monster, which is nostalgic for
Speaker 1: any baseball fan. It's so nice, grey monster, the giant
Speaker 1: green wall and left field that's like fucking.
Speaker 6: So it's like I don't know how many feet, probably
Speaker 6: thirty feet high, forty feet high.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, it's only like three hundred and seventeen feet
Speaker 1: or thirty feet from home plate to the wall.
Speaker 6: But it's a fucking wall. It's a monster.
Speaker 5: It's insane. It's really cool.
Speaker 1: I've done a lot of I actually went to the
Speaker 1: stadium when I was out in Austin.
Speaker 6: It was a unique.
Speaker 5: It was of course, sure that sounds open. At the time,
Speaker 5: when did you go out there?
Speaker 6: Eighteen? Okay, so new deal was not fall to eighteen.
Speaker 1: It was like no, actually, I think it was like
Speaker 1: Augusta Sports ye ye, sports.
Speaker 6: I do want to I know we keep going back
Speaker 6: for that.
Speaker 5: I'm to make sure we asked that the question. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I ask her to ask.
Speaker 1: I have a question I have to ask you. It
Speaker 1: doesn't mean we have to end, but we can go
Speaker 1: back and forth. I want to make sure this just asked,
Speaker 1: because we're best every guest that's ever came on the podcast.
Speaker 1: All right, I'll say you're opening up a jar of
Speaker 1: rozen and a kanja. Jenie pops out and brantcy one
Speaker 1: wish to change anything.
Speaker 6: Within the cannabis industry. What would you wish for within
Speaker 6: an instance?
Speaker 5: Fingers anything within the cannabis industry. Yes, and I can
Speaker 5: change it within an instant.
Speaker 4: Right now, right now, right now.
Speaker 10: Yeah, than you Sicily, I love my kid.
Speaker 6: It's pretty wild.
Speaker 5: He's fair asks. Can I say something kind of feral?
Speaker 10: Yes?
Speaker 6: Sure.
Speaker 5: I'd put myself in charge of all of it, so
Speaker 5: then I could just make all the changes I wanted
Speaker 5: after that, and I wouldn't have the thing too hard
Speaker 5: about it. Right now. I'd just be like, I'm in
Speaker 5: charge of the entire United States cannabis industry from now
Speaker 5: moving forward. And then I'd be like, and I'm gonna
Speaker 5: like you know, make all those decisions from an office
Speaker 5: that's moving around. It's mobile, it's wherever I happen to be.
Speaker 5: And I'll start clocking in tomorrow and I'll work, you know,
Speaker 5: probably like Monday through Friday. Like I feel like it's
Speaker 5: only fair if I work like eight am to like five,
Speaker 5: because I feel like that's what everybody else is working,
Speaker 5: if not longer in cannabis. But like also, I really
Speaker 5: am going to need my rest if I'm going to
Speaker 5: be a good leader, So I need to prioritize also
Speaker 5: the things that I need to do for me. So yeah,
Speaker 5: and that is what I'm would do. And then I
Speaker 5: would simply fix everything because I would listen to people
Speaker 5: who actually smoke weed.
Speaker 3: No one ever said if everyone just goes for the
Speaker 3: one thing, because that is on the table, we never
Speaker 3: and we say no more wishes.
Speaker 5: She only had one wish. Don't worry.
Speaker 6: Don't worry.
Speaker 5: I'm now the Chancellor of Cannabis for all of the
Speaker 5: United States, and I can't be fired because that was
Speaker 5: part of my wish. Thank you, trust. I would trust.
Speaker 3: I would trust you in the green heads than it's
Speaker 3: someone who's in a suit and never smoke.
Speaker 5: Represent this this stuff to represent it right.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, you need more people that smoke to be able
Speaker 1: to talk about the laws and regulations, because if you
Speaker 1: haven't tried it, then you're just you're going off the bias,
Speaker 1: and you're going off for refremendous.
Speaker 5: One of the unique things we have in Jesus, it's
Speaker 5: not too unique. I'm sure that you guys have somebody
Speaker 5: like him too, But we have a guy called the
Speaker 5: Apple Guy, and he shows up to like every single CCC,
Speaker 5: which is our regulatory industry. He shows up to every
Speaker 5: single meeting with apples and he gives people apples, and
Speaker 5: like you know, he will stand up for what's right
Speaker 5: and he'll like let people know when the meetings are when,
Speaker 5: like you know, they pushed them out last minute and
Speaker 5: stuff like that. And he's a really cool guy and
Speaker 5: he actually just started his own like business on the
Speaker 5: legal market and he also sells apples and like other
Speaker 5: fruits and vegetables. His real name is Lucas, but we
Speaker 5: call him Apple Guy. Apple Guy. Checks out, checks out,
Speaker 5: Shout out to Apple Guy. Out to Apple Guy. Yeah,
Speaker 5: he's like he does Vegas, so look out for him
Speaker 5: because he came last year and I think he's coming
Speaker 5: in this year. He does bring apples, he literally does.
Speaker 5: He did last year at the Massachusetts party. He was
Speaker 5: handing out apples. There was like not like the Massachusetts party,
Speaker 5: but there was a SENSEI party that all the Massachusetts
Speaker 5: people went to where I was like, this literally looks
Speaker 5: like a party at home. I was like, we literally
Speaker 5: flew here to have a lot like the same party
Speaker 5: that I went to last week. This is crazy. Does
Speaker 5: I feel like that at the Michigan parties in Vegas?
Speaker 5: It's like nuts. You're like looking around here, like I
Speaker 5: literally saw all of you within the past month. This
Speaker 5: is crazy, and here we are. It's so fun. I
Speaker 5: like it. I feel like we have different conversations. It's refreshing.
Speaker 5: There are different new people. I also can introduce, like
Speaker 5: you know, like you guys got to meet my friend
Speaker 5: Kara and so many of my other friends out there.
Speaker 5: You know, it's like you get to introduce and make connections.
Speaker 5: It's great, hubs everyone together, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5: It really nuts?

Speaker 9: Like your favorite growers, extractors, entrepreneurs in the Massachusetts market.
Speaker 5: I definitely want to shout out Emily Robinson. She helps
Speaker 5: me out with like managing my stuff, and she's also
Speaker 5: one of my best friends. So she's my manager and
Speaker 5: also one of my best friends. Love her nice, And

Speaker 5: Yeah, get your med cards. Go to dabcowgirl dot com
Speaker 5: and click on medical cards and like the dropdown menu
Speaker 5: or whatever the little Hamburger sidebar, depending on what browser
Speaker 5: you're on. And I just think that's as somebody who
Speaker 5: like started using cannabis every day when I got access
Speaker 5: to medical marijuana and found out, like, you know, how
Speaker 5: much better medical weed in California was versus the like
Speaker 5: weed my friends had given me in New England when
Speaker 5: I was in high school. Like I that was what
Speaker 5: had me start smoking weed every single day, So like
Speaker 5: I really and that was before California went recreational, So
Speaker 5: I just I really like getting to work with a
Speaker 5: medical card company is really cool for me, especially one
Speaker 5: that's available in so many states so I can travel
Speaker 5: to different states and talk to different people about it.
Speaker 5: So yeah, help people, yeah, and like make connections because
Speaker 5: they also love to work with like dispensaries, like both
Speaker 5: recreational and medical, to like help them like promote to
Speaker 5: medical customers that like, you know, they can shop here
Speaker 5: because there are lots of REX stores that'll like offer
Speaker 5: discounts to men patients and stuff like that, especially ones
Speaker 5: that are loyal, so like, you know, it's cool to
Speaker 5: help make that connection. Yeah, it's just it's it's great.
Speaker 5: I like to do that. And then like who else
Speaker 5: my best friend since childhood, Gina Garcia, so great, love them.
Speaker 5: They actually work for Blackstone Valley Cannabis, which does have
Speaker 5: some pretty good Rosin out in Massachusetts. If you're looking
Speaker 5: to support a local brand always yeah, mm hmm, really
Speaker 5: right in Uxbridge, Massachusetts. I believe that's where they're at.
Speaker 5: Delicious Muffberry. It was great. Yeah, Yeah, that one was great.
Speaker 5: I had that recently. Like you know, and I'm really
Speaker 5: bad at remembering names, so if I remember a name
Speaker 5: right off the top of my head, that's pretty great.
Speaker 6: Good, you're good. Yeah, this has been It's been a
Speaker 6: fun episode.
Speaker 5: This has been lovely. Yeah. I feel like I had
Speaker 5: more questions, but I can't find them in my phone.
Speaker 5: We'll have to bring the Blue Moon ice cream.
Speaker 6: Oh, Chronic amazing.
Speaker 5: It's my favorite child. I haven't tried it yet. It's amazing. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I haven't tried again Superman. I also haven't tried Superman
Speaker 5: yet because that's also regional. Like I forget, we're figuring out.
Speaker 5: It was like marshmallow mixed with something else. I can't remember.
Speaker 5: Rocky Road. No, I love Rocky Road too.
Speaker 6: That's it's correct.
Speaker 5: I've had that.
Speaker 4: I know you know what I want.
Speaker 5: I want to bring up something.
Speaker 9: Have you guys ever tried a Boston cooler?
Speaker 5: Those donut things?
Speaker 4: I believe I could.
Speaker 9: Be mistaken, like terribly mistaken, but I'm pretty sure it's
Speaker 9: ginger ale with ice cream, right, Dave, I think so
Speaker 9: ginger ale with ice.
Speaker 4: Cream, So it's like a root beer float.
Speaker 6: I don't go with that at home, but that sounds great. Well,
Speaker 6: I think you're thinking Boston cream donut.
Speaker 5: He is thinking, oh, yeah, you're right. You guys are right.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's it's ginger ale, which is crazy.
Speaker 5: Why would we not do it ice cream? Yep, Boston,
Speaker 5: we don't have burners out there because respectfully, okay, that's
Speaker 5: is one of my questions. Really, why do you guys
Speaker 5: call that ginger ale when it's cream soda? I am not.
Speaker 3: I am not a huge I like the new one,
Speaker 3: the Black Cherry Birds. It's really I actually like, this
Speaker 3: is Michigan. People in Michigan.
Speaker 5: Look at where's the ginger people? Look at here's so
Speaker 5: real like gingern It's not. There's not there's no ginger flavor.
Speaker 5: There's no ginger flavors. There's like yeah, because Seagrems is
Speaker 5: a real ginger ale.
Speaker 6: I know you're hating.
Speaker 5: I'm not hating. I'm not hating on it. It's good.
Speaker 5: It's just where's the ginger. It's like it's a good
Speaker 5: cream soda. It's just that's like a cream. It's a point.
Speaker 1: I don't drink it often, but I didn't really think
Speaker 1: it was a cream soda, to be honest, I just
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 5: Next time you drink it, think about how cream soda
Speaker 5: takes and tell me it doesn't taste like cream soda.
Speaker 5: So technically it's a ginger all right, Technically it is
Speaker 5: a ginger ale, but when you taste it, it doesn't.
Speaker 5: It tastes more like a cream soda, and the texture
Speaker 5: is more like a cream soda than a ginger. That's
Speaker 5: for sure.
Speaker 7: Sugar is more sweet.
Speaker 6: I feel like I need to go have a ginger.
Speaker 5: Like Honestly, I think next time you can taste all
Speaker 5: the different ginger ales, like with one of those blind
Speaker 5: tests that they do in the boxes.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that'd be cool.
Speaker 5: That would be really fun. How fast by the second
Speaker 5: I think I could get it, I think I could
Speaker 5: get it really fat.
Speaker 9: Do you like Canada dry because that's ginger?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's real ginger to Seagrumsnady.
Speaker 5: Seagrums Canada dry. Almost every other ginger ale tastes like
Speaker 5: ginger ail. That one tastes like a cream soda. It
Speaker 5: has a cream soda texture. And I'm not saying it's bad.
Speaker 5: It's just that like I'll forget that I'm like in
Speaker 5: the region that I'm in and I'll be crating like
Speaker 5: a real gingery ginger ale and then I'll be like
Speaker 5: ordering a ginger ale and then I'll get it and
Speaker 5: I'll be like, oh, this is like basically a cream soda,
Speaker 5: and I like can't send it back because that would
Speaker 5: be disrespectful to their culture. Their culture.
Speaker 9: I do like a really nice spicy ginger beer here
Speaker 9: and there, but like Berners for Michigans is just like
Speaker 9: it's a nostalgic flavor.
Speaker 5: You know. My mom's explained that to me, like she
Speaker 5: she grew up where they grew up. She's explained this
Speaker 5: to me. She's like, you can't tell people about this.
Speaker 5: She would be ashamed of me for going on a
Speaker 5: podcast and speaking about this.
Speaker 4: You know, no, but it's reported.
Speaker 6: It's fine.
Speaker 5: Like the thing that like you know, said I'm keeping
Speaker 5: it in there too bad. I stand by when I
Speaker 5: said it has like a cream soda type texture. Funny,
Speaker 5: I don't. I don't disagree either, So it's kind of
Speaker 5: funny like it like, yeah, it's not bad, it's just creamy.
Speaker 4: I like creamy.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but that's not ginger full circle.
Speaker 5: That did ye.
Speaker 1: Hey, but I do want to say thank you for
