SPEAKER_06 0:01

All right, everybody. Look at that. It looks like we're live. I hope everyone's doing good today. Welcome to Hash Church. Season 12, episode 24. No, you are not uh confused or misunderstood. We had an episode of Hash Church taken down recently by YouTube. I think it was a misunderstanding. We weren't trying to sell anything, we weren't trying to promote anything of being sold. However, uh, last episode when we brought up Pre-Ampava's page, um, preampivi, her page, and we were showing the different flowers. I suspect YouTube AI, well, they sent me a message saying exactly this. They thought that we were promoting the sales of products. So I will start Hash Church by very clearly stating this is for educational purposes only. We're not trying to direct people towards uh uh materials or uh cannabis. What we're trying to do is educate people about cannabis, and it's very important that the page is protected, that we don't get any more strikes, and that we don't lose any more shows. Uh, because obviously, um, you know, we've been doing this for 12 years on this platform, and we just want to make sure that we stay secure. It is scary, Robert. It really is scary. Uh, let me know if I'm live. It doesn't seem like the chat is moving, but uh let's see here. We live. Yeah, it looks like we're live. Looks like we're live. Okay.

Thank you. That's what I needed to see. Not seeing you guys uh is a little bit stressful. So thanks, Dr. Mark, who also just texted me and said I am live. All right, back to your regular scheduled show. Let us get on this. Uh, just got back from Califor uh California, Colorado. Always a great time. Always a great time. All right, here we go. Let's do a little share so you guys can see that. Oh, what happened? There we go. That was weird. Let's stop that share because I don't think that's what I wanted to share. I wanted to share this.

We haven't really been looking for new sponsors lately, but if you have an interest in sponsoring Hash Church, please reach out to bcbubbleman at iCloud.com. I can send you out the deck, we can figure it out. Um, yeah. So, like I said at the start of the episode, a little bit of a shock to the Hash Church community. Last week we had a Hash Church taken down, and we have never had a Hash Church taken down ever. So it gave me a bit of a heart attack, it made me a little nervous. Probably going to figure out a web page with the AI guys where I can put all the episodes of Hash Church that I currently have onto a platform that even if YouTube itself decides to remove HashChurch, I feel like it's an important enough thing that we're going to need to preserve it somewhere. I have the episodes uh saved on my computer, most of them. So um I'll probably start working with Bike and James to figure that out and see if we can't, you know, make sure that when people want to search hash bible.org, that even if the shows aren't on YouTube, people can still search the database and find the show and the timeline. So for me, I think that's a way we can preserve Hash Church. And that's a way you're funny, bingo. Uh oh, look at that. He's already on it, mate. I'm guessing Ariel live streams is James, maybe. I don't know. Um, I hope it is because I'm really nervous about that, dude. Having my episode taken down for no good reason. We haven't changed anything, I'm not selling anything. Uh, we were just having a great episode, and unfortunately, um, sometimes that's the way the ball bounces. All right, I heard from Etienne. Sounds like he's coming in. Um, Dr. Mark is at 30,000 feet, so he'll be listening, uh, but he won't be showing up. So it sounds like I sent it this out all very, very late, unfortunately. It's too bad I'm not on my way to Tahoe at CanMed right now because my goodness, I would love to be uh heading down there to see both Colin and Dr. Mark. But I just got back from Colorado. Um, prior to that, I was in Indiana, Illinois. Really, I was in Illinois, but it was on the Indiana border. Ended up in Indiana a few times. Uh oh, no problem, James Who. That's hilarious. I figured when you said it, the way you said it, how you said it, I kind of figured it out. Yes, Dr. Mark is very high. Uh, knockoff set and a knockoff set flaking off the waterproofing. Yeah, you don't really want that waterproofing on there. We learned that years and years and years ago. Shout out to ScallyWag Seed Co. Uh, you might be interested, Scallywag, in a sponsorship here on Hash Church. Uh, I know Heritage Seed Bank was sponsoring for a while. I feel like he definitely got his money's worth and his set. You know what? That's a fucking good idea right there. Exactly. All right, good call. Let me give you one second here, and I'm gonna try to do something. Let me see. All right, we'll see where D420K is indeed. Everyone's supposed to be driving to Tahoe. Why aren't you going goathead gardens? Hopefully, everything's okay with you. Indiana does not have legal weed, and that was the stress of being on the Indiana-Illinois border. Indiana does not have a legal cannabis. They don't like it. If you remember, the Colton family, uh, the Turner family, sorry, Colton's uh mom and dad and sister and brother, they those guys ended up leaving Illinois. Uh, or sorry, Indi, was it Indiana? Maybe it was Illinois before Illinois was legal. That's right. So they were from Illinois, I believe. They can um they can let me know if I got that wrong. I like to try and rodo, not Rado. Okay, Emmett Otter. I apologize. I am a Canadian and I can't change my Canadian accent. Plus, isn't that what makes it cool that I make it sounds different? You want me to say Colorado? Colorado? It's gotta be Colorado, man. It's called up in Canada. I'm just joking. Thank you. You should see how we what we call Oregon. Oregon. Ooh, they don't like that at all. Big love hash church. Pray you're all phenomenal. Oh, Katie. Katie was so helpful recently. Katie is, of course, over at the Adam Dunn podcast, and she's on there all the time with them. But man, what a nice uh girl. So helpful. Um, just was a huge help for our Turps and Tallow party that we threw at the reserves recently. She came in and just did so brought so many plants and brought, yeah, thank you, Dr. Mark. I thought it was Illinois. Uh so yeah, give give Katie some love. Go check her out on the Adam Dunn show. Uh, and she is definitely a big part of our community and super helpful and awesome. And I just wanted to say thank you publicly for being so helpful, Katie, because really you brought all the plants and you brought the vibes, and you just were so helpful and you never stressed out. And uh that's hard. I can't say that I didn't stress out myself. But the Turps and Tallow Party was indeed a success. We had a great party, we had about 60 or 70 people show up. Um, I'd love to share the photos, however, the photos, which is interesting, haven't popular populated into my um photos on my computer. So I don't know if we're gonna end up going through some photos later on. Um, but we'll see. We'll see. Um, I definitely have some great photos and video. I wanted to thank out Redemption Botanicals. I wanted to shout out Dread Smokes Weed uh and Marshall and Megan the Hash Maker. If you're watching, Megan, I'm still waiting for you to call me in regards to that traditional hash. Uh, what a great situation those guys have in Illinois representing all these incredible brands. We had the Redemption Botanicals Party, and the guys from Preferred came out from Cali. We had Sam from Mile High Melts in Colorado. We had DNA Genetics came out from California. Beezel was out from Beezel Extracts, Cheech and Chong's booth was being represented. Um, I feel like I'm forgetting at least one or two booths, which I apologize. They have so they have like seven strong brands. Dr. Uh uh B Real, Dr. Green Thumb, his brand as well, uh, was being represented by the Redemption Botanicals. So keep an eye out in Illinois for Redemption Botanicals. They're they're working hard, those guys. They're educating and working. And I got to tour the facility, and of course, Dread Smokes Weed just is an incredible grower. Uh, all of the cultivars that I went and saw, which I wish I could be sharing right now, we'll get to the XRS900 bingo Lombardy. Don't you worry about that in at all. Okay, sorry. Just communicating with some people, gonna get some folks in here right away. So yeah, that was uh that was an incredible uh little event in in uh Illinois. I had a great time visiting this facility, uh, working with the hash makers. I got into the lab and got my hands dirty. Uh so thank you, everyone that I met there. You were all wonderful people working really hard, uh making things go to the next level. So shout out to all of you. In the meantime, right after that. Sorry, I'm just uh I keep getting questions. Oops. That's nice when you uh okay. So right after that, I split from Illinois and I went to Colorado and linked up with the boys there. My partner Dan from uh 111 picked me up at the airport and uh right to the reserve, which is always the key, and uh got uh got to see Kyle. It was a very busy weekend when I rolled up into Colorado because Dude Grow's Cup was on in Longmont, and that was like a three-day event. Uh, on the second day of that event, we had buses picking up people from Longmont and driving them to the reserve because that's the day we threw the Terps and Tallow party. So there was tasting the Terps and there was Dude Grow's Cup and there was the Terps and Tallows. So there was a ton of opportunities for everyone to get together uh and smash uh dabs and smoke joints. And so uh, yes, my motorcycle riding in Colorado was a big part. I was gonna get to that. Um, shout out to Gingy, this six foot six ginger kid that was working at the Eagle Rider motorcycle shop, who basically recognized me and was like, You're Bubble Man? No way. As I'm renting a motorcycle. So I ended up hooking him up with some local jars of Bubble Man brand as a gift for educational purposes only. Nothing was transferred, no money was given. Um, and uh he was just ended up being super helpful. He rented me this XRS 900 Yamaha motorcycle. I had an opportunity to rent anything. I could have rented an electric light, I could have rented uh, you know, all sorts of massive bikes, including BMWs. You know, the BMW, I'm not gonna lie, I should have rented because it had cruise control with radar, radar cruise control. Now the XRS900 had um that had um a cruise control, but it did not have the um radar detector. But still, nonetheless, I drove up to Red Rocks. For those of you that may have seen the photo uh of me up at Red Rocks on the motorcycle, that is it right there. There was a concert happening, so tons of cars were driving up. So I was about to go up and I kind of turned back around and there was some nice rocks behind me. So I managed to get the one shot. Uh, and I had just come from uh shooting guns with Matt Robertson. So that was kind of my redneck American day. I burnt my arms. I don't know if you guys can see the burns, not really anymore. The camera doesn't do too well, but they're red, I can promise you. Uh so I burnt my arms. Um, yeah, my bike head cruise control. It was amazing, dude. Really nice and helpful for long motorcycle rides and that, you know, that clutching and gear changing and gassing and holding the gas. So really, really nice. Uh oh, yeah, it was an amazing time, Goathead Gardens. It was quite an amazing time. We're definitely going to be doing that again. So, yeah, I took the motorcycle out. I drove out to Evergreen, I linked up with Matt Robertson, and we went and shot guns. So that was super fun. I want to thank Matt Robertson for taking me out for such an American experience. That's my American picture right there. How how American can you get? Little Uzi in the top there on the grass, a little AK-47. So, yeah, I went and I went to big ARs or Big Als, whatever it was. I had the full American experience. And I just got to tell you, man, like, shout out to Matt for his gun safety. Uh, it never got sketchy, it never became silly. We just paid very close attention to the danger that was potentially there. And we shot responsibly in a responsible place. Uh, and we just had a hell of a time. Yeah, it was motorcycles and guns. Speaking of motorcycles and guns, I wonder what d420K is up to these days.

SPEAKER_00 17:20

Bong ripping mother lover.

SPEAKER_07 17:23

Fuck, dude, that timing was amazing, bro.

SPEAKER_05 17:30

Oh shit, dude.

SPEAKER_06 17:31

That is so someone was like, Where the fuck is D, what's D420K doing? You know, no one has ever stopped saying bong rip mother lover. In fact, I would go as far to say that bong rip mother lover is the quintessential hash church quote, dude. Out of all the things we ever said on Hash Church, I I think that that was it.

SPEAKER_00 17:54

Beautiful.

unknown 17:55

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 17:56

Mark 10.

SPEAKER_06 17:57

There you go. Yeah, I was just showing pictures of my uh my American trip, my last American trip, and uh I rented a bike, I rented a little XRS 900 Yamaha and was ride riding around Colorado on a bike out into the mountains, which was dude, it was epic.

SPEAKER_01 18:16

I bet.

SPEAKER_06 18:17

Even though I was by myself, you know, like it wasn't the same as being with your with your bros, but uh dude, it was really wonderful. I haven't uh I haven't gone riding in in several years, dude. My bike's been in the garage, kind of just on mothballs. I gotta get it out, dude.

SPEAKER_06 19:10

Oh, exactly, dude. Oh, with the bikes cooking it right on the side of the road, dude. Oh my god, dude.

SPEAKER_00 19:15

I got that is amazing. I got a video on my YouTube of uh myself, Chance, and my dad. We went for a tour. We did the Northern Loop. That's awesome, and what a trip, man. What a trip! Like, I got lots of pictures, and then we were at Leard Hot Springs cooking up a huge breakfast, hash browns, eggs, bacon, ham slices, everything, like a real man breakfast type thing. And there was a lot of stuff on those trips, you know. You want to talk good karma, being nice to people and stuff, and just uh just being a good human in general, anywhere you go and anything you're doing really does pay off when you need it because I was I was on the top, I was at the the continental divide in BC and Yukon, and uh my bike broke down. And we had a trip, we had a time there, man. I tell you, middle of nowhere, no cell service, had to use the use the uh gas station phone and everything like that. This guy let us use his truck to drive four hours all the way to Whitehorse to grab parts to see if we can get my bike fixed with his truck with his trailer.

SPEAKER_04 20:36

There's amazing people out there.

SPEAKER_00 20:38

Man, it was it was it was unreal. And even and even after that, we did it, we did a turn and burn. We just ripped up to Whitehorse and back. It's a four-hour drive each way. When we came back, there was a fuel tanker that had spilled across the highway, and there was a whole bunch of the highway was cut off, and there was a bunch of people in the gas station, parking lot, and everything, stranded and stuff. And we went, we we got in there just in time with all of the supplies for the restaurant for breakfast and everything like that. And then we went in and put aprons on and did dishes and fried bacon and everything else with this dude and fed everybody that was out there and stuff. And then the guy's like, Well, you know, there's there's uh they're gonna be a few more hours at least and stuff because he knew the highway guys of that. And he says, Take my other truck there, go up that other road where there's white hole with the airport sign and old uh dirt airstrip and stuff, like total Yukon, unbelievable scenery. He said, Go go fish in there. I see you got your rods there. We grabbed me and Chance grabbed our the rods and went fishing and toured and came back. And he goes, Okay, they're gonna be ready in about 10 minutes. Get your shit ready and get up to the uh front of the line. We did that. We ran up to the front of the line, took my helmet off to put some water in it because it was real hot. And he goes, Are you ready? Put your helmet on because you guys are first, and we had the whole high. Way to ourselves for four hours. Oh my god. Up top of the continental divide, and it was just fucking amazing, man. Like that sounds epic, dude. I I rip. You know how I rip. I rip, I hog, I go hard on that.

SPEAKER_06 22:16

I love riding with you, dude. Like, it's it's it's a good side by side, ripping up the sea to sky.

SPEAKER_00 22:21

Yeah, man. Like this, it's just it's just awesome. But you know, when I was up there in the mountains and everything, our mountains here are beautiful, but those mountains up there are giant gulot mountains. And I was like, I look down at my speedometer, I'm doing like 70 or 80 because I'm just in awe, looking around, just fucking amazed at what I was doing.

SPEAKER_06 22:41

Dude, it can be dangerous when the when it's that beautiful. Colorado, dude, the mountains are 14,000, 15,000 feet, like twice the height of Whistler and Blackcomb. And it's so beautiful and epic. And it's like the tables, the uh all the I just such beautiful mountains that uh yeah, dude, I'll tell you, it was pay attention and uh be safe and be careful. I wish I was with someone. I wish people realized when you're telling these stories, I wish they could feel and understand how special it is to go on a motorcycle tour with your bros and do like what you're doing, very few people have done on in the world, dude. Like a small percentage of people have done what you what you have done, and then to like hit the lottery and be like, go ahead, you guys are first on the fucking highway for four hours without anyone on the highway. That's like shit that uh the the Sultan of Brunei would pay millions of dollars to do, you know what I mean. Yeah, we're gonna close the highway for the Sultan of Brunei. You know, we're making six million, so it's like, or we'll just do it for D420K and chance just for shits and giggles because they made us bacon.

SPEAKER_00 23:47

Yeah, yeah. Oh, and you know that guy we we've done this northern tour three, four times, three times at least for sure. Yeah, we go up from Prince George, Dawson Creek, uh Leart, you know, Fort Nelson, Watson Lake, all the way up to to Dawson City, and then down to the Cassier Highway. And the Cassier Highway is like that's like a six-hour ride where you see maybe five, uh, ten vehicles at the tops, and that's it. And this guy, all these people up there, they had uh there was people at the end of their dirt driveways out there on the road when we come by because we had a huge pack with us, and they're taking pictures at the end of their driveway, and they'd phone ahead and let these other people know, yeah, these big group of bikers are coming through, looks cool in the riding and everything. And that guy at the gas station made us made homemade cabbage rolls that day. We're gonna have to have a bong rip here soon. But he's he met us at the pumps with all of us, did our gas and then goes, Okay, guys, come on inside, we got some cabbage rolls for you. And he made these little finger, little small cab two bite cabbage rolls out of sauerkraut and everything. And oh my god, they were the best. And he just gave them to us. So every time I went through there, I was like, You got those cabbage rolls going still? And he's like, No, I don't, but when you guys are coming back, I'll have a batch made. So on our way back, he'd always have cabbage rolls ready for us. This guy was awesome. You walk in, you cruise up to these Atco trailers, and you don't check in, you don't do nothing. You just go in the door, pick the key on the wall, and go to your room because it's there's it's too late or whatever, and don't want to get people don't want to get up and do the paperwork, and you just do it on the honor system. It is it is old country, it is amazing. The people were fucking amazing. The bike shops in Whitehorse can go fuck themselves because they were were oh my god, Mark. This big biker dude in in a Honda shop. I go in there, look, I just wanted the front wheel bearings done on my bike, and he goes, We don't touch fucking Harleys. Buddy, I was you know, it's such a small town, only one way in out, all that stuff. I'd be hiding in the bush for a month if I did what I wanted to do. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_06 26:10

Was the guy that gave you the cabbage rolls Ukrainian?

SPEAKER_00 26:14

You know, I th I don't know, but uh he was from he had to be from that part of the world. You know what we called those when I was growing up?

SPEAKER_06 26:23

Halopchi. Uh is the Ukrainian word for cabbage rolls. I grew up in a very Ukrainian city, dude. Winnipeg, Manitoba has a giant Ukrainian population. So pierogies. I think we might have even had hunky bill. He might have been either from our province or the one next door. You remember hunky bill's pierogi makers? He had like the big weird mole on his forehead. He used to do commercials in the 70s. Maybe it's a Winnipeg thing, but hunky Bill's pierogi makers, man, and the Halopchi. Fuck yeah. That's what's up. Welcome, Etienne.

SPEAKER_08 27:00

It's good to see that face again. How you doing? How you doing, buddy? Doing good, you know. Doing nothing.

SPEAKER_09 27:09

No, I'm kidding. I'm always doing shit.

SPEAKER_00 27:10

Doing nothing. I like doing nothing sometimes.

SPEAKER_09 27:15

I was like, Oh, I I I I do a lot of doing nothing, but I do a lot of something while doing nothing. So um, yeah, me and my boys been um, yeah, we did a oh, what's called, and in the United States, when you want to look under the hood of your government, we do these things called Freedom of Information Act requests. And so we we basically say, I want to see this, I want to see this. And then I come back, okay. Well, if you want to see all this under cannabis, you have to break all the things down. And basically got like a 2,000-page data dump from our government explaining all kinds of lies and misinformation about cannabis and veterans. So uh I'm in the midst of, my boys, we're in the midst of a uh 11 article drop between Veterans Day and uh pardon me, between Memorial Day um and then in Veterans Day. So we've been dropping this marijuana moment and Tom Angel uh uh been dropping our knowledge, and it's more these articles are um written toward the policymakers and those that are overseeing veterans' affairs and all that. So all we're trying to do is get more access for our veterans directly. So it's um yeah, a lot of exposure, a lot of research, and just trying to make sure that we have our I's dotted and T's crossed. And then we sent at least two of the 11 articles that have been published so far. I sent them to all the people on the Armed Services Committee, the Veterans Armed Services, Veterans Affairs Committees. And then uh we have a group in Congress called the Cannabis Caucus who are representatives who are trying to help us and push the issue forward. So sent that to them as well to keep them updated in the loop, tell them to keep an eye out for the other nine articles, and uh yeah, just uh exposing some sunlight on a bunch of lies and bullshit and stuff, trying to make the place a little better than how I found it. I froze up for some reason.

SPEAKER_06 29:26

He did kind of freeze up for some reason. Right when he said he froze up for some reason, he froze up. That was pretty trippy. He's coming and going.

SPEAKER_09 29:36

Let's try it again.

SPEAKER_06 29:38

Let's see if I can put you on speaker and see if you show up that way. I guess I gotta stop talking for that to happen.

SPEAKER_09 29:46

Right. There we go. There's my camera. For some reason it decided to go a hiccup on me.

SPEAKER_04 29:50

Yeah, sometimes the cameras like to do that, man.

SPEAKER_09 29:54

Yeah, they're hating my freedom.

SPEAKER_04 29:56

They're hating your freedom.

SPEAKER_09 29:58

I know, right? Can't can't can't have my freedom implied upon.

SPEAKER_06 30:02

Um, and then I was practicing my freedom in the US recently, brother. I was I was shooting guns for the first time. I know. Isn't recoil interesting and painful? Oh my god, you should have seen Matt's shoulder. It looked like someone beat him up. He had like like hickey blood dots all over his shoulder and his whole shoulder. That AK-47 really has a kickback, dude. I never shot a 7.62s. Yeah, 7.62s, that's right.

SPEAKER_09 30:28

Yeah, that's how a military we're all about, you know. We don't do the metric system except in all of the military. Because I was 155 millimeters uh artillery, right? And of course, then we fired the 5.56, which really doesn't have a butt. But yeah, the AK has a burst, but are you a left-handed shot or a right-handed shot?

SPEAKER_06 30:46

I I'm I'm like this. So I this is my right hand at the front of the uh you're a left-handed shot, too.

SPEAKER_09 30:51

So the problem I had, and especially in combat and shit like that, I know it's a kind of fucked up thing to say, but because I'm a left-handed shot, the eject is on, of course, the right side.

SPEAKER_06 31:03

That's right, it kept hitting my shoulder and my head.

SPEAKER_09 31:05

So what happens right exactly? I would get the bounce back off the shoulder and get the kiss on the cheek. And so I would used to have just a whole series of red marks on my cheek from just from the kickback. So you have to get a guard, uh, which I didn't have, but yeah, yeah, it's a pain in the ass.

SPEAKER_06 31:23

I don't think I'll be uh doing too much more of that. I just wanted to have the experience, you know, and go and do that. And Matt had invited me, so I thought, well, that was nice of him. I'll go check this out. And uh yeah, it was just fun.

SPEAKER_02 31:35

We could, you know, don't like the accurate smell of gunpowder all day. Come on.

SPEAKER_06 31:39

Well, it was short-lived for us because obviously you can shoot a lot of we had an Uzi and an AK and a handgun or whatever. So we're shooting pretty fast. But one of the cool things I want to shout out about Matt was he told me, look, when someone showed me how to do this, because we were like in an outdoor kind of a natural range on a on a hill that went up, shooting into the hill. And so he was like, Let's take all of our empty boxes. And you don't have to pick up your shells, but let's just pick up boxes full of shells. So we ended up all the boxes we had, we filled up with used shells that were already on the property. And I thought, what a good way to teach someone how to go shooting. Uh, I'll do that for the rest of my life. If I ever go shooting again, I will definitely pick up shells that are just have been left out. Uh always get rid of it. It's called policing your brass.

SPEAKER_09 32:26

Yeah, policing your brass. Well, it it doesn't disintegrate, right?

SPEAKER_06 32:30

No, no. We were picking up, I picked up really old ones, dude. They were like rusted out and like old.

SPEAKER_09 32:36

I grew up in the woods, so I mean, unfortunately, I grew up in real rural fucking areas where everybody hunts. So the most annoying thing to find would be shotgun shell, you know, casings and shit like that that you know, hunters fucking leave out in the fucking woods. So this is just a message to everybody. If you see them, pick them up. And if you're a hunter, pick up your fucking shit. Don't leave it in the fucking woods. It's exactly what Marcus is saying. Teach people to police your shit. Nature, do your nature thing, but take it out of nature when you're done. Thanks. Friendly message.

SPEAKER_06 33:06

Absolutely. We took way more than we left. I'll tell you that much. The the amount of bullets we shot out. I mean, you know how they're packaged and slid into the boxes. Well, we just filled the boxes up with the ones we found. So I would hope we found at least two X more than than than may have been used by us. So we, you know, that was uh that was a cool thing for him to just kind of know and teach me. And you know, it was a small part of my trip, but it was definitely kind of a big part, like go into the big owls or the big big, I can't remember what the store was called. It was big owls or big AR or something. I I'll have to look real quick here on my phone because it was oh, here we go. Yeah, big R. The Big R store. That was the Big R store that we went.

SPEAKER_09 33:51

And we we did get your ammo and she it.

SPEAKER_06 33:53

Well, dude, I couldn't believe this photo right here because this is just something you would never see in a gun store in Canada.

SPEAKER_09 34:00

Oh, dude, that's at Walmarts when I was growing up. You could go into a Walmart in anywhere in the south, and you go into the back, and there would be the handguns into the glass container, the shotguns and the rifles would be right behind, and you'd be like, Okay, what you got? What's on satellite? Oh, look, we got an air, we got a 306 there and a 14, you know.

SPEAKER_06 34:21

Also, can we talk about the evil red-eyed satanic horse that's at the entrance to the fucking Denver International Airport?

SPEAKER_09 34:30

You really want to go there about the Denver International Airport. There's supposedly a whole conspiracy, there's a whole underground complex for in case we get nuked.

SPEAKER_06 34:39

Uh, okay, do you know the story of the statue? I've I've read it originally when I was like, Okay, well, let me give you the clip notes. It fell, it fell over and killed the guy who made it, and they still put it up. Yeah. Yeah, the guy who made this statue was killed by the this statue has got to be at least 50 feet tall, bro. Oh, it's huge. I've seen it when I've been to Denver now. Yeah. It is impossible to miss, especially at night with the eyes, right? Oh, dude, even in the daytime, you can see the eyes glowing red. Apparently, my African uh Uber driver, he said they paint the eyes constantly to make sure they're not like drab. They want them to be bright red. He's just like, he's like, this is some State Tun stuff, you know. I was like, dude, it's probably. Oh, I know, I know, but it's like the Denver Broncos horse doesn't look like that anywhere else.

SPEAKER_09 35:37

Oh, yeah, yeah. I mean, it just looks wonderfully evil, absolutely. I mean, they they they like, let's go evil and knock it up a notch. We'll make it all black, we'll give it bright red eyes, so everybody's like, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_06 35:48

It definitely stands out, dude. I was like, holy shit. Not even like a football in the picture, you know, like no, no, no, no, no, no. Like nothing else. Did you just get destroyed, D420K? I thought you took a big bong rep or something. Oh, you're muted.

SPEAKER_00 36:07

You're not a mute there. I did.

SPEAKER_06 36:10

Oh, well then I'm gonna join you. I'm gonna hit this one here. It's kind of creamy and yummy.

SPEAKER_00 36:17

Nice, looks good.

SPEAKER_06 36:19

Yeah, it is the love affair number three.

SPEAKER_09 36:24

I'm on my I'm on I'm on my morning doink. So my morning doink has um three different CBD flowers. Wow. Um some THC flour, and then 10 little dots of dab. So I'm dabbing with you just in dry form. I always knew you were, my brother.

SPEAKER_04 36:43

There was never a doubt. Yeah, there was never a doubt.

SPEAKER_06 36:48

Man, I gotta tell you, I had a good time in Illinois for how like, I don't know, just middle America it is. I had a good time.

SPEAKER_09 36:57

I I've gotten the best equatorials I ever scored off the street in Chicago randomly at a bar on the south side back in '94 when we were on hemp tour. And of course, when you're on, you know, tour, there's no providing of cannabis, right? So you have to go acquire your cannabis if you want cannabis. So uh, you know, it's back in the day when you go to bars, you hang out with people, and you see you get a vibe. And uh, this guy was there, and I was like, you know, it was also good to be in can because I had my can flyers with me, uh, you know, I could just back it up with some, yeah, I'm with can, I'm passing these out, we're doing this for cannabis. And oh shit, oh, all right, cool. I was like, you know, um, look at some herb. You got any herbs? And he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you got? And you know, this is the old school when you give somebody, you know, 50 bucks and you hope they come back, sort of situation. And yeah, we gave him the cash, he went off in about 45 minutes. Dude came back with the greenest, bright green, long, long-fingered leaves that I've ever seen. And it was totally a proper plus eighth, you know what I'm saying? It was an eighth plus that gave me the extra stem inside there. So, you know, they didn't weigh me out. They they kind of gave me a better balance and things. And I just have to say that was some of the most I've scored weed all over the United States, 47 states, and that was the only place I ever got the most literally amazing equatorial I've probably ever smoked at the time. So, Chicago, nothing but love. Second city, I mean, it's also the house of all the MSOs now, the multi-state operators are out of Chicago, so it's kind of a little hard to find, you know, the really good goods. So, I know, of course, you were flashing yourself. So, people are like, Oh, Marcus, you can't have that store bought shit. You gotta have this shit, dude.

SPEAKER_06 38:52

Fucking redemption botanicals, they're in tons of stores with DNA genetics and preferred and diesel and bubble man brand and all of all of the different uh uh brands. Yeah, they're doing a really good job there, they're putting a lot of work in, um, growing really nice flour and just all around uh good vibes. They just it's I love seeing people execute, man. I love people seeing people get together and really doing the work. And uh those guys are absolutely doing the work.

SPEAKER_09 39:24

Well, you know what it is. You know, you can you've seen more fake than you can probably shake a stick at to see one, again, the technology is there, two, the the craft is there, and three, the passion is there. And when those three combine, you get to see shit that's if everybody looks at Marcus right now, all the stuff that's on his that's behind him, all those pretty pictures, that's what you get out of it, right? You got to put in great to get great out, right? You can't polish a turd, as we always say. Um, and there's more turds out there than there are, unfortunately, you know, pretty really good cannabis, and especially, you know, unfortunately, due to the MSO. So it's good to see that there is quality creeping in, but unfortunately, there's more quantity than quality. And the more people get exposed to quality, the more they will demand it, is what we have seen all over the world, really, right?

SPEAKER_06 40:20

Yeah, there, you know, I always feel like there's always gonna be a the massive group of people, kind of like food, like there's amazing food in the world, and I don't think that the majority of people don't want to have that amazing food. I think it's just an affordability thing, it's outrageous. Like, I'm not going to spend like hundreds of dollars on a meal, I'm just gonna buy a meal for seven dollars. So you have much more McDonald's, which is not quality, than you do like Michelin star restaurants, right? So I kind of feel cannabis is the same way. I think you're right in the sense that the quality, the group of people who look for something nice is ever growing. But the group of people who really just can't afford it is is also ever growing. Do you know what I mean? Like I feel like that group's not getting wealthier, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_09 41:09

No, well, it's as you know, it's spread out faster, you know, and and over time, and each as each state, I mean, in the United States, we've got 40 states where it's medical, 24 where it's recreational. So you've seen a whole shape in re-changing uh of the landscape completely. Whereas 20 years ago, everything used to come out of California. So Northern California was pumping it out like a fucking, you know, whore on a Saturday night. Nothing against whores on a Saturday night. I'm just saying very busy. A prejudice of you, right? And so uh now, you know, what happened is then East Coast and other states started to establish their own markets and marketabilities. And then next thing you know, you know, they had good quality genetics to start with. Some people went average, some people went quality, and unfortunately, quality costs, right? Because you know, testing costs, and that's not cheap stuff. And then to do everything correct, right? To buy the proper equipment, right, Marcus? And all those things.

SPEAKER_04 42:10

Holy God, dude.

SPEAKER_09 42:10

It's significant investments. Then when you look at simple things such as packaging, how are you gonna package it? You know, what's your top gonna be? Is it gonna be just a standard plastic top, or are you gonna overspend initially and try to do something that's recyclable or something that is, you know, biodegradable? Oh, they don't exist. Oh, well, there are hemp ones. Oh, but there's no hemp things that, you know, no recycling bins that will take the hemp stuff or manufacturers that will recycle the hemp properly. So we've got a whole bunch of problems we threw about ourselves, which I know, you know, we're not the only country with with uh, you know, issues with packaging. I guarantee you I wouldn't be surprised if you know the packaging in Canada is still overpriced for what you're getting and non-biodegradable. So we're left with each year millions and millions of tons of just useless crap that won't biodegrade, and that's not including the demand for cartridges and convenience. So, therefore, we're gonna take every single possible shitty, you know, little metal, put them all together into these little things and then spike them with oil, and uh, they've become the roach of our generation that is absolutely toxic as fuck because we can't recycle them. You know, and I've seen I've seen on Reddit where people will take a whole bunch of these and boil them together with alcohol to leach the cannabis out of it because people don't know what the fuck to do with these things, and there's there's still a little bit of oil left. So what do I do? You know, so we've got all these problems we've hoisted upon our own society and our own people out of convenience and demand that is unfortunately leaving future generations with a A cost and a invariability that is um not responsible and something that I know it's a dirty word to really be talking about, but something is somebody who's in it, I have to always point out is we're fucking up and we're not doing better. And we're doing better.

SPEAKER_06 44:20

Like it's not like we started it either. It's like we've been fucking up since we were born. Oh, yeah. Drinking boxes and straws and plastic cups and like all of this shit. Now, you know, for a while they figured out, hey, I've got an amazing way that we can virtue signal and still use all of these products. We can claim that we're just recycling all of them. And then you learn that, like, you know, six or seven percent of all recyclables end up being recycled, and 94 plus percent of recyclables get burned in a pit or an incinerator in the Philippines or whatever, whatever company is willing to do it. Uh, burning plastic, by the way, this is happening like every day.

SPEAKER_09 45:02

I used to I used to get paid to do it in the military. They used to get us to to burn shit. It's called burn pit. So, you know, you can't leave your trash everywhere. So, what do we do? We burned it and inhaled all that toxic crap. But no, I completely agree with you, Marcus. However, we in the cannabis world have settled for that same thing. And I think we can do better. I think we can challenge the future and those who are currently watching to figure out ways to start making components better, uh, more recyclable, more. I mean, remember like a decade ago, there were people really pushing pens to be recyclable and refillable. And then that quickly went the way of the dodo as um we saw, you know, these two factories out of China just pumping out these carts, right? Really start around 2010 when we started to see the wicking, the the original wicking, you know, pens, and it was an amazing thing for convenience. Uh, however, what started off as a small thing has become quite large, right? I mean, you carry carts in in Canada, right?

SPEAKER_06 46:13

Uh, we have all sorts of carts and uh like uh pods.

SPEAKER_09 46:18

So we have we have it all, absolutely. So you have every scope of it from the 510 to the full, you know, all in ones, right?

SPEAKER_06 46:26

Which are you know something that we we have all the same pollution that you guys have down there, not just in cannabis, in all aspects. We're burning gas, we're burning plastic, we're fucking we're not doing anything.

SPEAKER_09 46:43

From the consumer's demand, and the convenience, the demand of convenience, convenience. So therefore, we have to take the responsibility, you who are watching as well, and if you care, then you have to stop buying those things or you know, offer alternatives.

SPEAKER_06 46:59

It's it's a bit of a deep, it's a bit of a deeper rabbit hole than that because it's like, okay, so if you're not gonna buy those things, then are you also gonna put on your list all the other things you use in your life that are identical to that? Because now, now you're going to be living, it's not just going to be about not having convenience. It can get to a point where you're living in a cave. And so this is the hard part I have with it. It's like, what do I pick and choose? You know, to because I obviously don't want to make the world a shittier place, but yet I'm driving a truck, it takes gasoline, it's got rubber tires that will never be recycled and will end up in a fucking burn pit some someday, which is what's going to happen to all your tires, which is like, okay, I'm not going to use pods and I'm also not going to drive on any vehicle that has a rubber tire, because tires probably make up a much larger pile of pollution than, say, carts. You know what I mean? Like, just imagine four tires per car, never, and so it it turns into this sort of like circular thing where what do you do? Do you pick and choose a couple?

SPEAKER_09 48:01

Do you well you you've seen it in where people are here's just an example in our own environment, right? People saw and have been using BICs and lighters for years until they realize, hey, you know what? Maybe I should look at alternatives, right? And so we've seen like the hemp wick and other things and people going to matches and solar. So I'm not saying is it immediately gonna change. However, the demand came from us, and we can demand something different because we vote through our dollars. Now, look, I have the same uh I have I struggle with the same reality because I carry all those things and I've sold them. And how many tens of thousands of carts have I sold over the past, you know, 15 years alone, right? Tens of thousands, right? So there's no doubt we've contributed, and I've contributed to it, and there's a guilt that comes with that as well. I'm just saying we can do better. Yeah, you can't do absolutely everything in your life to change things, right? You we gotta drive on those rubber tires. However, we can choose how and where and what we use in everything else that we do, right? We can choose as best as we can the less of all the evils. And all I'm saying is we can demand better. Look for the creativity in those. I mean, it's still a joint, still burns well, still gets me high. You know, however, convenience and delivery are something we all have to think about. Just think about it, people. Where I'm not saying you have to, you know, even the rolling paper companies.

SPEAKER_06 49:30

If we went to those factories and we saw the amount of glue, liquid glue that ended up in the rivers or ended, you know, there's got this is the problem that I've noticed with all manufacturing. When you want to get bigger, when you want to hit more people, it there be there becomes problems that you have to like balance with making the product available to a person in the first place, even if it's you know, as simple as a pre-roll joint. Well, what are the factories that are making those pre-roll joint machines? What are the factories that are producing the paper, or even just the glue for the paper? Or you get into the trucks that are moving it all with diesel fuel, as well as the boats. And it just becomes this like they all come from where Spain and Portugal, right? Yeah, and France, I think. And France, yeah. Yeah. I've I think about this stuff often as well. As I get older, I understand why we're all hypocrites because it's almost impossible. The minute you create a stance on one aspect where you have a revelation, you automatically become a hypocrite in regards to all the other things you have yet to have your revelation with, where you're like, oh, I didn't, you know, I'm not doing this anymore. But it's like, yeah, but you're doing this. It's almost the exact same thing. It's like, yeah, well, you know. And so it's, I think it's part of the human experience to experience the hypocritical experience. You know, I've definitely had it throughout my life, you know, calling the kettle black or just, you know, doing one thing over here, but not doing it over here. Uh, it's a tough one. I guess you just got to stay conscious, like you said.

SPEAKER_09 51:05

Yeah, well, you make your choices through your life, right? And so why I focus on it is because yours truly was in a war in over oil, right? I literally sat in and watched hundreds of oil fires burning, burning so thick that the smoke above my head, right, was so thick that outside of the smoke it was 120 to 130 degrees. Under the smoke, it was 28 degrees, which is below freezing.

SPEAKER_06 51:34

Dude, I'll never forget that image of the of how many of those were on fire. Oh, I wasn't even there. I wasn't even there.

SPEAKER_09 51:42

Oh, it was horrible, you know. I can't, I honestly can't imagine. I helped contribute to that, you know what I'm saying? So for me, you know, I understand what I killed men, women, and children all over fucking oil, and I do not like that. I was a 21-year-old kid and still developing and did stupid shit. So for me, I want to undo some of the damage that I've done. So any little way that I can make an impact a little better, the better I can, be it through, you know, actions or through exactly what I buy. And I look as I evaluate myself as I get older, I look at the responsibilities I've had and the failures that we had, such as in 2010, 2011, when we're, you know, oh, these carts, we shouldn't do these carts. You know what I'm saying? You know, could we have stopped it then? You know, would that have been a thing? No, no, we absolutely would not have stopped it the same way that because it goes back to the fact that oil isn't just carts, oil is everything.

SPEAKER_06 52:46

That's why like people are the product.

SPEAKER_09 52:48

Well, people don't realize, right? That's it.

SPEAKER_06 52:51

But it's everything is made out of oil. Like, look around your room, dude. Everything is made of oil. I hear people like, we got to get rid of oil, and I'm like, it's an amazing idea, but holy fuck, we better figure out a way to survive without it because all of our computers and all of our phones and all of our like everything, the vehicles, the clothing, the like, we have so much shit that's made out of petrochemical oils that I I don't even know what percentage of our reality it is, but I can understand why you ended up in a war over oil because really the oil and it's scary to say, is for freedom and wealth. That's what oil is, because you can turn it in. It's like it's like magic black elixir that you can just turn into 10 million different products. Turning old dinosaurs into money. I don't think they're dinosaurs. I think that's an old story. I'm I'm de I don't believe there's I think Rockefeller is very smart, and convincing people that oil was was was like limited was his most brilliant thing he did. Convince them that it's a limited resource. Okay. If you say so. How they got go to war with it, how they control it, right? You know, like it's a scary game, and you were definitely in it uh on a level that I have never experienced. I um I appreciate what you're doing, dude, and that you, you know, you've come out of it as a much better person.

SPEAKER_09 54:23

Yeah, I just don't I don't want to see your your kids and grand and D2420K's grandkids, you know, all have to grow up and to have to have those types of experiences. There's much better experiences they could be having and deserve. And unfortunately, of course, all wars are about economics um and access. So, you know, uh that's the problem. We've we've got what an overpopulated blue dot floating in the middle of space, and we're trying to figure out what we're doing, and we've been handed all kinds of problems, and all we have done is find our solution, and our solution is cannabis, and we are we've worked our ways as well as become masters around cannabis because that's the small way that we were able to affect and change the world, and you have, right? You've you've affected, you've changed the world literally and figuratively of cannabis by the product that you put out, thanks to you know, Mila and others, and the creative ideas and putting those into execution, the consumers realized it and acted upon it. I mean, how many people are watching right now or smoking hash because of the work that you know others put in and made the change happen? Because, you know, this was a small part, right? When people were like, You we've talked about a lot of overwhelming things, but even so, we've each found our ways to, you know, exist in the world with our cannabis. And not only we've done that, we've stepped outside of ourselves to help others along the way. And on top of that, they've helped you right back because of the love and appreciation that people have for great quality hash and to have access to once you've had it, you want it, you demand it, right? I mean, look how many hours we've watched D420K over the years, you know, doing his glove technique and everything, trying to make sure he just has a stash, right? You got to work to even have your stash if you want to do it the right way, because you know how many people don't do it the right way, right, my Marcus? You had to shoot people how to do it right.

SPEAKER_06 56:37

People have to do that. Made with screens that were made of oil. Yep.

unknown 56:44

Yep.

SPEAKER_06 56:45

Hydro gathering. You can't get away. I saw a video recently where a woman's like, we have to stop using oil. And the guy's like, What's your water bottle made out of? She's like, It's metal. I'm like, he's like, What's the lid made out of? She's like, I'm not sure. He's like, it's plastic. What do you think the pipes were made out of that you brought had that water brought to the facility that you filled it up with? Those were plastic as well. She's like, he's like, your eyelashes, those are plastic. The clothes you're wearing, they're plastic. Your phone, plastic. And she's just sitting there, like, I get it. I want to be on the side of like, let's fight plastic and get written and make this world a better place. But holy shit, that isn't that is a I would dare anyone here for the next just two days try and live your life without using or touching plastic just for two days. And see, write down each time where you're like, well, I have to do this, well, I have to do this, well, I have to do this. You will be at like 647 at the end of the day of things that you did uh that you just cannot imagine. Um, I don't know if I would make the same argument about slave labor, although I will say that slave labor, slave implies that you're not being paid. But I think you can be a slave and get paid too. So in that sense, all labor that is sort of you're doing that you don't want to do, whether you're doing it against your will or being paid, being paid can be against your will. You don't want to do it, but you got to do it because that's what fucking we got to do. So it's a it's you know, for labor, that's a tough one. Obviously, being forced to do something is much worse than having the choice to do it for money. But we get ourselves into these situations where we're getting paid to do things for decades of our life that suck our soul right out of our bodies that don't bring joy or happiness.

SPEAKER_00 58:31

I'm a living tribute to that right there.

SPEAKER_04 58:35

Really? Tell me about that.

SPEAKER_00 58:37

Like uh the last job I was on, I was hired out. I I operate equipment because it broke my back and my neck and dislocated arms and all that kind of shit. And I went from construction work and laboring to heavy equipment operating for the last 18 years. And let me tell you, I went up there to run hoe, and uh there was a there was too many hoe operators, and I was either gonna be the lead hand laborer and uh go for that, and we were doing civil work, pipeline and all that. And I haven't done physical labor in 18 years, 20 years, and let me tell you, for three weeks I suffered, and I mean I fucking suffered just walking up into my travel trailer three steps, I had to have both feet on one step at a time, and then up and then up. I couldn't just walk up like it was nothing for three weeks. All I did was basically go back to my trailer, lay down, go to sleep, wake up real hungry, pig out on something, and go back to sleep and repeat. No weekends off, no none of that, 20-30 days at a time. Did it for two and a half months. Fucking man life. It sucked. It sucked, but let me tell you, after the three weeks of doing that, I was looking forward to more. I was like, Yeah, I fucking did it. I did this, I made it through it without dying because I felt like dying over and over and over again.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:12

Of course, you evicted weakness out of your body, dude. You you evicted death out of your body. That's what happens.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:20

Well, it's uh it was a struggle, but I did it because if I didn't do it, the bills wouldn't get paid. Nothing would get paid. I'd be homeless living in my truck. I'd probably end up losing my truck too because I couldn't afford assurance or gas or whatever. Because you know, that hustle for the weed, that's not happening no more.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:43

No, the weed hustle has definitely changed.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:45

You can't you you can buy really good quality weed for way less than it costs to grow and flip it, but your the profit margins are not like it used to be, and everything like that. And you know, that's fine. You know, I had a good I had a good lifetime of hustling that shit, and fuck yeah. I I dig through I dig through stuff because like I recently got uh separated with my my ex now months ago, and I've been setting my house back up, going into my sea can, looking into stuff, looking into boxes I haven't looked into for a while. It's been like Christmas. It's you know, all the stuff that I had that I have that were were put away because of family and stepkids and everything else moving in and stuff. It's it's setting my place up now. It's pretty nice seeing stuff that I got. Like, man, the money being spent. I see some of my buddies that are still hustling and actually doing pretty good with it. The way they spend their money and the way I used to spend my money was just like I needed two or three of everything, pretty much, you know, just because you're like going to a store, come out with 130 bucks worth of macaroons. I'd be like, dude, what easy, easily, buddy. You know, you've been there with me.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:11

I was there with you, dude.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:13

Like, and and and let's let's talk about you in your day, you know, like yeah, yeah, yeah. Weren't you splurging fucking thousands of dollars on homeless just for feeding them and stuff? And they got so fucking picky that that they were like, Oh, I'm I'm vegan, or I don't like this, or I don't like that, and they were fucking putting in orders, and it was just like, oh fuck off, man. Like, come on, like just the shit. Should have been helpful, yeah. But now the money that I make laboring like that or operating, like, got a I got a few jobs lined up here. I'm waiting to start operating again and stuff like that, service trucking, and but uh I hold on to that money, like both fists, both hands. There's no way no one's getting that money out of me, and and spending it on something. It has to be a need, not a want, these days, otherwise, you're wasting your money.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:11

Yeah, easy thing to do. You know, I was thinking too, our money is also made out of oil here in Canada. We have plastic money. Fuck. I'm not trying to be like, I just like fuck, dude. Like, it's just so ridiculous. What are you gonna do? Just trade.

SPEAKER_09 1:03:27

You guys gonna trade in gold coins now?

SPEAKER_06 1:03:29

And silver and polygon. I don't know. I don't know. I do like the idea. Go ahead, D.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:36

Even gold and silver. Is that really the commodity we want to save up, or is it supplies? Is it survival? Is it uh I think it's kindness, the needs and the sharing and all that sort of stuff, right? Like, you know, there's there's a lot of rabbit holes with this conversation that can be done, but put it this way if you're a man with a family that are starving for one day, two days, three days, four days, and you got a guy that's beside you that has some supplies that isn't sharing and isn't willing, and everything like that. I don't know what kind of you know, there's a lot of men out there that would do bad things because they have to. And they would go into some of these places and try to ask. And if they couldn't ask, there would probably be some death on one side or both because taken.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:31

It's definitely a part of what's going on in the world right now. I had a conversation with my neighbor yesterday about uh we were just talking about like cows and meat and the cost of meat and kind of how it's like subsidized and how they if the cows were just if the cows were just fed grass, it would be great, but then it's like it's too you can't they need to concentrate them, and when they concentrate them, well then they need to feed them grain. And they feed like I think it's over 20% of the world's grain gets still fed to cows for a small percentage of the population to consume burgers and steaks while uh almost the equivalent percentage of the globe. I don't know what the exact percentage is, but if you add it up what percentage of uh the world's grain supply that we feed cows, it's probably close to the exact amount of people who are currently starving to death in the world, which is a shocking, shocking number. If you actually do the the the if you look up the numbers of how many people starve to death every day, uh including children, it's thousands. It's really a shocking, disturbing number. And it takes you down a rabbit hole that's even more disturbing than the plastic, because the plastic is like, hey, we got to take care of our world, we got to take, but then the food that's so much more immediate. Like there are people, I've only been to one country in my life where people were starving. And I remember when I was younger, I didn't really understand. I went to Jamaica and I saw some poverty, but it was not the kind of poverty where people were starving to death. There were people hurting, and it's Sucked, but everyone had food. But when I went to India for the first time in my life, I was exposed to people who were actually starving to death, who were standing right next to people who were pigging out. And I just couldn't fucking wrap my head around it, dude. I could not wrap my head around. And it was the worst kind of starving. It was women with babies. That's that's the starving I saw. They were at restaurants in in Delhi, in Mumbai, in Calcutta. They go to the restaurants, they have no one taking care of them, they have no food, they are beyond poverty stricken. A lot of them are lepers or no touch or no touch them or no see them, whatever they were calling them. Really, really horrible shit. And it it it like, I'm sure the same way war, you know, had this massive effect on Etienne's soul, so too did just going to India and seeing that and not being able to do like I'm telling you, dude, it's one thing to be like, oh, I'm gonna help the world, it's another to go and try and help a hundred million starving people. It's like this impossible task.

SPEAKER_09 1:07:01

We used to have children just standing on the side of the roads with their hands up for anything, and that was during war. And of course, what do you do? You give them whatever you can. It's a child, you know what I'm saying? You know, um, sometimes it was a pork MRE because that's all we had. But you know, religion doesn't know starvation.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:22

How about how about the the amount of uh, you know, another rabbit hole, too, from this right off of this path? The amount of human meat that's allowed in the fast food products and the burgers and everything, the percentage of human meat that's allowed in these fucking meats, dude. Why is there even a percentage of human fucking meats? They haven't got and what six percent of two billion burgers a day. Just asking, what is that? How many humans?

SPEAKER_06 1:07:53

Yeah, it's the bizarre, dude. Oh, yeah. Accidentally fall in the grinder. They're just like, well, you know what? He only weighed 180 pounds. As long as we put him into at least 4,000 pounds, we should be under our legal. I saw years ago there was a legal amount of like like contaminant, like rats, hair, like just certain shit. I had no idea that there was any percentage of human meat. Although I will say I did grow, uh, I have been here for the last 30 years in British Columbia, and we, of course, had this incredible man by the name of uh oh god, what was his name? Robert Picton, this insane maniac serial killer that was murdering indigenous women and then feeding them to his pigs, and then he slaughtered the pigs and sold them to the overweighty, which is like a was a big grocery chain here uh in British Columbia. So it's likely that um I definitely ate some of that.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:51

Oh my god, dude. I guarantee it. And there's still there's there's there's a thousand other rabbit holes from Robert Picton and his farm. Oh, yeah, right. Politicians, politicians, gangs, police, everything. Everything that you could possibly think of on the dark side of things, and zero on the light side. I know, zero, nothing but surprise.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:15

Nobody's made this into a movie. Oh, there must be some documentary on pictures.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:20

There's uh there's movies on it. There's there's uh documentaries and stuff made into movies type thing, movie docs and that on it. They're guaranteed, and you know, the biggest part, the biggest part of their investigation that was uh hindering them was the egos, the egos of the higher ups, and the and the guy that was helping, and that was actually his program was working and did work and can in catching capturing Robert Picton, but uh the bigwigs that um they treated that guy like he was some kind of piece of shit, like he was come some kind of internal rat in the office, and they treated that guy like hell, and he's still he he went all over the world and is and has uh caught serial killers with his program that he puts in his computer and does his forensic stuff, whatever, and it fucking works. So that's another rabbit hole right there. There's nothing but rabbit holes in the world these days. There's nothing go ahead, go ahead. There's nothing they're making that isn't to hurt us, to harm us, to get us on pharmaceuticals, unless you're growing it yourself, harvesting it yourself, the whole fucking works, and that's it's a lot of work for some people, too.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:33

Well, you know what? That is a lot of work, and I remember Johnny B always would promote, he's like, Yeah, ever anyone can grow weed. And I after a while, I was like, dude, I don't know if that's the truth. Like, this growing weed thing is like it's really taxing, you know. It's like anyone can grow a plant out on their deck. I definitely believe that, but not anyone can run like a five or a 10 light show. There are people who have disabilities or who have age, who have sickness, who have a variety of things where they just they can't they can't do it, or they're just busy.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:06

Or a hundred light light shows or a few hundred light shows in different buildings, dude. I mean, in different parts of the province.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:14

Just running 75. I remember Blackpaw running 75 when he was in his 60s, and that was like it was it was a it was a lot, dude. Him and his wife were having a hard time uh running that many lights by themselves, and now they felt the um, you know, the the weight of those guys came from the BC Compassion Club because they wanted to produce the best medicine they could for these vulnerable people that Hillary had collected to sell cannabis to. And so that was what drove them, that was the thing that made them feel great, but it was also the double-edged sword that made them feel like they couldn't stop and that they just had to keep going and going and going. Because if they stopped, you know, that that hundred and whatever pounds for those two or three months would have been noticeably missed. So, yeah.

SPEAKER_09 1:12:04

So do what you can where you can, people, is all we're saying. Is that that's you know, we've all read about these horrible things, so you know, and we're talking about, and of course, this isn't the most fun hash chart to necessarily have, but this is another way of saying, you know, do something, find a way to contribute and make life better, make the world a little better in your way. You know, we found all our way and we shaped ourselves our ways, right? Marcus is a vegetarian, right? Has taught talked about it for years, um, as well as, you know, he used to be anti-joint, but now he smokes joints, you know.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:42

So, you know, he was never anti-joint for you. I was just anti-joint for me.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:47

When did that happen? When did you smoke a joint?

SPEAKER_09 1:12:53

Yeah, he's been smoking Jays for a few months now.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:55

He decided to finally spark up. I'm like, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_09 1:13:00

When did this happen?

SPEAKER_00 1:13:01

You gotta explain yourself to him, Marcus.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:03

I can't tell your bud the what the fuck's up. No, this so this started. Okay, funny enough, I think I might have a bud of this right here. What did I do with it was the haze bud? It was it was and it wasn't. It was a collection. Okay, here we go. All right, so first it's gotta go out to my buddy Jay, who I was actually visiting yesterday, and he gave me this flower, and this is called Please Wash Me. Let me see if I can get the camera to focus on it. Nah, I mean, we can see it's a bud, it's not gonna go sexy, but sometimes it'll at least you know get a little cleaner, but anyway, it's a really nice, dense butt. Like this bud is so dense, bro. I cannot even tell you. And it's just like musky, dank, like ah, it's wonderful. So he gives me a bud of this. I would say that was back in October of 2025. It's in a bag just like this, on my desk. I'm doing nothing with it. But the first time I smell it, my mouth waters a little bit, and I'm like, that was weird. I was like, fuck, almost like want to smoke this. I was like, I'm not gonna do that. Then a couple months later, I'm now going to America for the first time in over 28 years. I'm going to Las Vegas. And I go to Las Vegas and I meet up with Caleb Caleb from the Hash Church. Caleb's awesome. He's like the least Las Vegas person you could ever possibly go to Las Vegas to meet. Like he could not, me and him could not have stood out more like sore thumbs walking around in this fucking alien world. Anyway, he comes up to my room. I got a balcony, and he's like, Hey, I got some flour from Tom Hill. Tom Hill's the sativa grower. Tom's been doing these pheno hunts for the last couple of years on these hazes, and he's got the X, the Double X, and the Triple X. The triple X being aka the Calypso haze. I look at these jars and my mouth is watering, bro. I'm like, holy fuck, I gotta smoke one of these. But I don't. I don't smoke one of them. I go back to Canada, it's December, end of December. Now it's January. My mouth is still watering from those hazes. Every hash church, fucking Caleb's pulling them out and showing them in jars. And I'm like, I'm like, where did that fucking please wash me butt go? And I'm looking around my desk and I'm like, oh, oh, oh, oh, there it is. And I went to my buddy Merlin's maybe a week before, and he had a party and he put one of these crushed 2.0 grinders, the cube 2.0, on everyone's desk. It's this, dude, this is the greatest grinder ever. I gotta get you one. It is, it's got no corners, so your fingers don't hit the corners when you turn the grinder. It's so fucking good. In fact, this guy has sponsored Hash Church, and we have a hundred of these with the Hash Church logo coming soon. And I will 1000% get you one of those, buddy. Both you and NT all the Hash Church regulars. I'm gonna get one too, and then I'm gonna put a few of them up for sale for a good price, uh, to you know, to make them available to um to uh the people who are watching. But anyway, I fucking I I I just grind that please wash me butt up, dude, with this grinder. Perfect grind. I've got my, you know, this. I've it's funny how it all kind of happens, but my buddy gifted me this a couple years ago. I mean, I get a thousand of these, but I throw them all away. But for whatever reason, I kept this one. This is from the the dry sift guy in in Amsterdam. This guy's father actually wrote that incredible comic book on cannabis that we shared uh some years ago. Anyway, little rolling tray, grinder, found a pack of papers from like Canna that they gave me in a swag thing. And uh, you know, now I'm using the OCBs, but uh I rolled it up and I smoked it, dude. I rolled it up and I went out of my deck and I smoked it and I didn't hate it. I liked it. It was like a warm hug. It was like a grilled cheese sandwich and a tomato soup on a rainy Vancouver day.

SPEAKER_00 1:17:06

I was gonna say tomato soup too. Yeah, fuck yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:11

So that was the beginning in January. I haven't smoked a ton of joints since then, but I've certainly, you know, then Tom was like, Oh, I heard you like the haze. I got a buddy in Canada who's got some phenos, and maybe he'll send you a clone. Well, not only does the guy send me a clone, he sends me an ounce of haze. Like, so generous. So now I'm smoking haze joints. I'm like, like, it is the haze that I love the most. That being said, you know, last night I smoked a mango something joint. Today uh I smoked uh, or today I'm gonna smoke this one that I rolled that will be um the please wash me. You know, it's a nice way that I can experience my friends who grow exceptional flour but don't make hash. It's a nice way that I can still enjoy that product. It's a very nice way. I have people have been giving me flour. You have probably seen it many times. I probably gave you the flour. People used to give me flour, and it was kind of like lame that I didn't, you know, use it myself. I would give it to my friends. And so now if the flour is nice enough and it's a cultivar that really kind of makes my mouth water, I will um I'll take the bud happily and and roll it up and and smoke it. So not a ton of joints, you know, maybe five or six joints a month, maybe, maybe a little more. But you know, the fact is, A, I'm very happy in the sense that when I smoke them, that I'm smoking them with my like 24-year-old lungs, because that was like the last time uh smoke hit my lungs like that. So, not that I think cannabis smoke is super detrimental to your lungs, but I can't imagine if I smoked, you know, 180,000 joints between then and now, that my lungs would be in the exact same shape that they're in today. And as a 53-year-old man, I'm stoked to have like feel good in my lungs and in my body. Um, so you know, I'm gonna enjoy some joints, but I'm I'm never gonna go back to smoking 50 grams of flour a day. That was just outrageous, dude. But the world is changing, dude. The world is changing. I'm smoking joints.

SPEAKER_00 1:19:18

You know, the there's there's so much rosin and hash and stuff out there right now that that it's almost like like we we we did a lot of pioneering with some of this stuff and everything like that, but it's almost like a lot of people don't have a clue.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:37

It's amazing, dude. I love it, it's so good because, in a sense, it's good in the sense that people still don't have a clue, which means it's still fairly easy to succeed if you're a lifer. If you just like I'm a lifer, I'm stuck in this forever, dude. I can't do anything else. Like, what the fuck am I gonna do? I don't have anything else. I've always been doing this. It's the there's nothing else for me to do. So uh I was kind of I kind of tell my partners even it's like, look, I want to make this work with you guys for sure, but just you know, understand that if you give up, I am absolutely not giving up. I'll just continue on to do this with uh with the next group of people who are inspired to want to do it. Um I'm a lifer, I'm stuck in this for sure. And uh, you're definitely not wrong. There's a ton of people involved now that are kind of new people that don't really know. Some are exceptional. There are some exceptional people who have kind of come out of the uh, you know, from the scholarly world, the university world, people who really studied for cannabis to get into cannabis jobs, which is awesome. I think that's amazing. And I still meet people, even today, that are new, younger people that have just, you know, have only been in this for a short very short period of time, but I recognize the passion they have. It's like the same passion that we have, kind of thing. And so the fact that that's still being born and growing up and being created into the cannabis industry, it gives me hope. You know, there's always uh, you know, you always want to look for the younger guys that are that are going to take the baton and take it to that next level because uh we can't do it all. We just uh I mean a TM maybe can do close to all of it, but no one else.

SPEAKER_00 1:21:17

One of my favorite things from Hash Church and being on YouTube and doing all this type of stuff is meeting people in the most random places that know you from the show and are like, I I I threw out this bag of leaf at the dump here last year, a couple years ago, and stuff. And and I went back to grab it because I was holy fuck, you guys put that in there? Like, come on, let's get got the poison jump in the dumpster and grab fish it out because it's good fucking hash right there. And uh the kid beside me and his dad, he's like, You're d420k, aren't you? And I'm like, Yeah, and he goes, What's in the bag there? You do you throwing some fucking shit out? I'm like, I accidentally was thrown out because this stuff's good shit to make hash with. I'm going to make some hash. He's like, Wow, man, so excited. And and meeting guys that have that have taken our inspiration and even perfected, like, I mean, the the the the seas the the uh operations procedures of these guys are so precise and intricate and perfect, and what they get out of it is stuff that I remember when we were pressing hash, and we were going, why the fuck are they pressing hot? Like, fuck, we should just be pressing hot uh flour. The the the the hash is too good to be pressing, and we were doing that before they were pressing it by putting it in boiling water and stuff, melting the dry sift and everything, and then and then uh the rosin comes out, and then we're doing flour, and then and then people are doing the dry sift or the fucking the absolute unbelievable bubble hash that are they're making with the freezers and everything else.

SPEAKER_06 1:22:57

It's like we had fun. Wow, yeah, you and I got hurt pressing hash.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:02

Oh fuck my shoulder. I remember that, dude.

SPEAKER_06 1:23:06

We were like, let's make an ounce of rosin on my deck, and we quit at 14 grams.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:13

I couldn't even ride my bike very good. I had to wait a few days to go up to back up to PG to fit.

SPEAKER_06 1:23:18

Dude, I was hurt for like 11 days. I'm not even joking. Yeah, yeah. That was before I was taking care of my body, though. I wasn't lifting weights or I wasn't do working out or anything. I was I was weak inside of my body.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:30

Does your boy ever practice with those throwing knives?

SPEAKER_06 1:23:35

Uh oh gosh, yeah. We played with those like crazy, dude. Are you kidding me? Nice. Fuck, dude. Those things are psychotic. Fucking giant throwing knives.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:46

You can live on, you can survive with those, man, right there.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:51

Well, hopefully it's hopefully it doesn't get to that.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:54

Yeah, true. Fuck yeah. You know, because I got to go.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:58

No, you can't.

SPEAKER_06 1:23:59

Well, exactly. That is true. That is true.

SPEAKER_00 1:24:02

And it's better to be a warrior in the garden than a gardener in a war.

SPEAKER_04 1:24:06

Wow. Isn't that the truth?

SPEAKER_06 1:24:09

Isn't that the truth? I uh I love my garden. I got a few plants out of my deck. I got some plants that are at a buddy's house that I gotta go pick up, and I got some other plants that are at another buddy's house. So I should have maybe 20 or so plants out on the deck today. I got that haze out there right now, uh, from Tom Hill's buddy here in Canada. For whatever reason, this haze, I got it, and I, you know, I kept it kind of under a small light and I slowly brought it towards this thing, just would not grow. It like, I would say that it sat in like in stasis for like maybe two or three months and did not grow at all. I was so confused by it. I was like, I've never seen a plant like this in my life. It was a little clone and it just stayed little. Now I probably had it for over three months and it's probably just this tall, but it's now starting to branch and starting to grow. So I can tell whatever it was doing, uh, it's reverted to going back and actually producing um veg. So I'm looking forward to having a nice tall haze plant. And before it starts to flower, I'm definitely gonna take some cuts and you know get some cuts to some of my buddies because uh ah, you know, it's 16 weeks. Everyone should have a nice 16-week hazer. Yeah, exactly. All right, well, I think it's time for a little puffy puff puffco with D420K.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:32

Fuck yeah. Oh, guess who's done with his joint now? Oh snap.

SPEAKER_06 1:25:39

So you so how do you feel after that joint with the C B D and the dabs? Like, do you feel the C B D really kind of keeping you from getting super high, or do you just get a really lovely I I don't get a not high from C BD.

SPEAKER_09 1:25:52

I get a more relaxed state. I get the medicinal, I get the both, you know, it's not a not high, it's uh it it it definitely affects the potency of the high. Yeah, no, depending on what you put in it. Like I said, I put you know, there's ten dots of dabs in there too. So, you know, the mix is a nice vibration that is uh it's for me, it's again it's my morning coffee, so it's just kind of waking.

SPEAKER_06 1:26:22

You're right to dabs after that.

SPEAKER_09 1:26:24

Well, you can't smoke hash all day if you don't start in the morning.

SPEAKER_06 1:26:29

That's true. Um, that is true. I my friend uh the ganja goddess just posted that. I shared it on my story today. Uh now we have to share it because why not? Um, but yeah, she literally that's what she wrote on her thing. This is her right here. This is the Ganja Goddess. This girl is so cool and nice. She uh went and hung out with us. She's in Illinois, big supporter. But these words right here next to the screen say you can't smoke hash all day if you don't start in the morning. So shout out to Alexis and her brothers. I know you're watching.

SPEAKER_09 1:27:08

There's a great saying a puff of Keefe in the Morning Makes His Man as strong as uh a hundred camels in the courtyard. So I have that it's um Rick Griffin did a poster of it, and I have a copy of one. I have to get it framed. But uh it's it's a put the on it's a drawing of a hookah.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:30

Did you get your hash church picture from Scully Vibes?

SPEAKER_09 1:27:35

Yeah, I have to frame that and then and also from I'm gonna frame that and I'm gonna frame all of my mossy giants, and I'm gonna start replacing my art around my room with that because uh my friend Michael is sending me um a Donesbury and a uh Bloom County that are both cannabis uh ones. I guess so I'm framing those too. So I have so many yeah things I need to frame that I need to just start doing it.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:05

Do it, man. We did we did it at the reserve. Kyle has so many incredibles, he's got so many Scully vibes. He's got Vincent Gordon's, he's got Chris Dyer, he's got like just incredible art all over the place. He he must have like 10 or 15 Scully vibes, and they are awesome, dude. That guy, I really, really, really like Scully's art.

SPEAKER_09 1:28:25

Yeah, I've got a couple of Alex Grays to print up too. That, yeah. They're yeah. I I like and appreciate good art too. Yeah. And especially more modern stuff like that. It's it's really, you know, to get and capture stuff like that, it's hard to do and get collections of it. Yeah, I get why people do that too.

SPEAKER_08 1:28:50

What you puffing on?

SPEAKER_04 1:28:52

Oh my god, I'm puffing on the Love Affair 3. This one right here. I really quite like it. It's wet and shiny and good.

SPEAKER_09 1:29:02

What makes it a love affair? What makes it a love affair? I always love hearing how genetics come about.

SPEAKER_06 1:29:07

You know what? I don't know. My buddy brought me this. He brought me a bunch of different dabs, and unfortunately, a ton of them smelt and tasted like carrots, i.e., he aged it poorly. It just it's that caratoid. I don't know what exactly it is, but it's not fresh, good, new rosin. And so those I didn't hit at all, but the a few, like three of the jars, one was like um this love affair, one was a lemon runs, and one was called something loud, London Loud. And it was like the lightest, yellowest color of rosin that I'd seen in a long time. All three of them were very, very lovely. Actually, he also had one, a Tali Mon, and that one was the best. It had a beautiful, strong banana flavor. Um, but unfortunately, you know, that was four of the jars were great, and and four of the jars were literally like carrot perps. Never, never fun.

SPEAKER_00 1:30:04

Have you had dark rosin that you liked?

SPEAKER_06 1:30:08

Um, yeah, I don't know. Yes, probably. I can't there's been some for sure. I don't know what it is. It's not just psychological, though. There's definitely something to do with like the when the like, well, for instance, when the terpenes that Tony made were clear, they were my favorite. And when I started trying other people's terpenes that were yellow, I didn't like them. And it had nothing to do against the color yellow. I mean, yellow gold is usually really good in the world of hash, but in the world of terps, it's subpar. You know, it means that something's been heated too much that the degradation is now visible. Whereas, you know, when you're running that through the minus 80 Celsius chiller and you're precipitating those terpenes back into a liquid, they they precipitate back clear. And that I I really like. Really, really like. So I don't know. I mean, I definitely like dark hash. You know what I mean? Like, I can definitely say I like I love dark hash. Rosin does not age well, it's something I prefer to preserve. I don't like to age it. In fact, I would rather preserve bubble hash than age it as well.

SPEAKER_09 1:31:21

But when it comes to Now, when you say that, how would you preserve it for somebody who's just watching and wondering how would I preserve this?

SPEAKER_06 1:31:29

Well, preservation is going to be coolness, so it's a cold supply chain. So you're gonna want to put it into now, if it's flour, you can probably get away with um a fridge. But I will say there are a lot of hashes that are of too high a quality, and most rosins will be that way. That cooling them is only going to slightly preserve them, and that actually freezing them, getting them in a much, much colder environment, just an environment so the volatiles aren't moving like this. You know, if they can be moving like barely moving, then less degradation over time, more preservation. So for me, room temperature or warmer is going to be your cure. You can do it in a bit of a colder environment. You could probably cure in like two degrees Celsius, just above zero in a fridge. There's still curing that's going to happen. I put six-star bubble in a fridge one time and it started caking to itself in the jars. We had to pull it out immediately, receive it, put it back into jars, and then put it in a minus 40 Celsius freezer. And only then did it stay in a powder form. So, to me, preservation is as cold as possible, and um curing or you know, aging is like you know, at room temperature. I will say that this hash that I've had sitting at room temperature for quite a while now just smells like the most quintessential, like Indian Nepali hash. I can't, I can't even get over it. And this is the present, this is what hash does. We are used to hash that has been aged for fairly like it's not like these people in in different countries have this super quick process of growing and making the hash and getting it to market. It takes, sometimes it would take years. You'd get the hash, it would be a couple years old, they cured it, they aged it. Well, when you age out all of those, it's funny because new hash is all about preserving every single monoterpine, terpene, terpenoid, thiol, phiolate, ester, aldehyde, preserving it all. Old hash is actually about curing most of them out until you're left with a very specific group of volatile organic compounds that are able to A stick around the longest, beta-karyophyll. That's why it's peppery. Beta-karyophylline, why do they train drug dogs with it? Because it's the one that transfers the most, it's the one that lives the longest, it's the one that sticks around, it's the funk. It just hangs out. It goes from bag to hand to shirt to hat. It transfers better than any other terpene. And so that's what the drug dogs are training these, uh, were being trained uh with uh back in the day. So hash on one end, traditional hash, is very much like a very specific volatile organic profile with the majority of everything removed. New bubble hash and live hash rosin is all of it. It's all of it. So they really are different ends of the spectrum. Uh, and as a hash lover, I appreciate uh both ends of those spectrums uh in a big way. So preserve your bubble hash and your um um live hash rosin and cure your old hash. This now is eight months old this fall. It's been uh just sitting in an open bag at room temperature. This one, which I think was of a higher grade, it actually.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:58

There we go. Look at this fucking thing, dude. Nice and glossy. Dude.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:08

That is the funk. It's so soft as well. It's very soft. Oh man.

SPEAKER_09 1:35:23

His mouth's open. He's like, oh.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:28

Oh my god, dude. It's just beautiful. Not for sale, just for educational purposes. Bubwam!

SPEAKER_09 1:35:37

Oh my god, dude. That hash a sheen smell, huh?

SPEAKER_06 1:35:41

That hashine. It's just that old school hash versus the new school hash. They're such different things. And I just want to see a large, I will tell you, if you are in the hash world, you're a young hash maker and you're trying to make your your play, don't ignore the roots of the of hash. Don't ignore, learn to pay homage, learn about the cultures, learn about the people who are involved, and then learn about the techniques and learn about how to make hash like that and learn to have a relationship with hash like that that is not the rocket ship to the moon. Okay. And sometimes I feel that, you know, I don't know if a lot of us are OCD, autistic, whatever you want to call it, but we're definitely a very unique group of people who seem to be called to this. And I think that the same way we find this incredible value in these high-grade full mount bubbles, static sifts, and live hash rosins, I think a lot of people are missing the value of traditional hash and how it could help them kind of relax, not take these rocket ship moon rides, you know, like, but but a warm hug, a grilled cheese and a tomato soup. Uh, it also has its value. And it took me quite a while because when I wasn't smoking joints, um, I also wasn't really, I was still making traditional hashes, but I wasn't smoking them as much. And it wasn't until I came out with the product hash hits that I learned to open up this door to having a relationship with hash that is not the highest grade hash in the world. You know what I mean? It's mediocre to the people who are at that level. They look at this and think that's just mediocre at best. But what I would say is, is they're missing something. And I'm not missing it anymore. This one is bubble up 44% um THC on this one. Oh, there we go. See how it's doing it for hash, but it won't do it for fucking bud, that's yet. Must be my camera.

SPEAKER_09 1:37:43

Definitely you could see the hash there for sure.

SPEAKER_06 1:37:45

It looked like chocolate on the inside. Oh, dude, it's it feels like just so yummy and good. Not to mention, what a nice thing. I gave a piece of that very hash to my buddy Mike recently. It was his birthday. I didn't get to go to his birthday because I was in Colorado, but I did get to give him my wife brought him a nice little piece of hash and a jar, and he just thanked me for it the other day. And what a great thing to be able to do. One of my favorite things about federal legalization is to be able to gift product to people, my own handmade made by me. Here, I can just give you this. You know, I think I can give up to maybe an ounce, I believe is is the limit. So it's and I could mail it across the country to Newfoundland, or I could send it up to PG, up uh to D420K. Hey D420K, is it true that they they they they scooped up all the homeless people in Vancouver and brought them up to PG? Are you you seeing that?

SPEAKER_00 1:38:37

Oh, buddy, did they do this? I am we we are so close. This whole community about getting together. There's this poor little lady named Kira Hammerstrom that all of a sudden all these Vancouver street transients and whoever they are are bust up here. All of a sudden, a girl goes missing, and this girl has been missing since. And there's a big family here, and they're bad, bad asses, man. They don't fuck around. They're gonna if they I hope they do catch this guy because uh he's gonna get it.

SPEAKER_06 1:39:14

These people will so they brought all the homeless people or a big chunk of them. I heard Tamluke's got a bunch. This is for FIFA at Tian. We have FIFA in town right now.

SPEAKER_00 1:39:25

Prince George, Dawson. Fort St. John. And they and uh yeah, how did they get them there by bus?

SPEAKER_09 1:39:35

Bus and money just what they just got them all together in the middle of the night and put them on a bus and shipped them out.

SPEAKER_00 1:39:41

Yeah, yeah, and then and then they got uh they got a tent, they got 10 cities everywhere. Well, these 10 cities, they've built tiny homes, they set up like four or six Atco camp trailers, brand new. Everybody's got got a room, you know, a bathroom, like they're fucking living large, man, for free and everything. Every single time for the last for five years, for the whole time they've had 10 city there, those buildings would be burnt to the ground within a month, every one of them, because of the mental illness and stuff that people are having out there with this, with the addictions, with their traumas, with everything else. Some of these people really do need some friggin' help to be housed, to be monitored.

SPEAKER_06 1:40:26

It's no they're they're not just drug addicted, like that is right.

SPEAKER_00 1:40:30

That is a side quest of what they're going through, and you know, the drug addiction to the the guys that are up here, like yesterday by Costco, the the fentanyl hump of the back, the lean. There's this dude that was almost bent right over, and uh his whole spine and back look like something off of like a reptile show, like it looked like something that he was mutating into a fucking dinosaur or something like that. It was a big lizard of like it's it's just it's just horrible, and you know that's the drug addiction part, but there's the more of a majority of the mental illness that's going on out there, and with that mental illness mixed with drugs, milk with alcohol, mixed with homelessness, mixed with despair, hunger, addict everything like man, I don't know how they can get away with doing that stuff. They can send billions of dollars to anywhere for wars and for foods and for everything. And for soccer, for and that's for soccer. For soccer, bro. Why can't they spend money on building more hospitals?

SPEAKER_06 1:41:38

Listen, these guys, the sooner you can acknowledge that the people who rule the world are possessed by demonic intelligence, the sooner's obvious, yeah. Yeah, so that's why. That's why they're fucking demons, dude.

SPEAKER_00 1:41:52

Yeah, they're harvesting children and everything like that, selling human meats to McDonald's and when you're and people know it, and people it's like, ah, whatever, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:42:01

You know, the Epstein when those Epstein files came out, I thought, oh my god, this is gonna rock the whole world, everything's gonna collapse and and crumble. And it's like all it really did was get everyone focused on one guy, where it's like, dude, isn't there like thousands of people like that were doing that? Like in those files, what is going on?

SPEAKER_00 1:42:19

It's like the Picton. Picton was the uh that's what I'm saying. He was protected, dude.

SPEAKER_06 1:42:24

That guy was so protected. First of all, the amount of like high level the police chief used to go and hang out at Pictons, bro. The police chief what uh so this is what Etienne was saying, you gotta find the positive, you know. It's good not to ignore any little bit of good that you can do in the world is better than bad, obviously. I mean, look, it's hard, it's easy for us to sit around and say, listen, it's easy for all of us to listen. Hey, you're right. This homelessness is horrible, like these people need help. But like, how many of us are willing to move them into our homes? Right? It's like, ooh, well, I don't, I don't want to go that far. Isn't there another way I can help? So it's it's just impossible to be a human being sometimes. The more you know, the harder it gets. It's almost uh ignorance is truly bliss. Remember when that piece of shit in the Matrix rats on everyone and he's eaten the steak, and he's like, even though I know this steak isn't real, and it's just a computer telling those synapses in my brain that it's delicious, he's like, I don't care. You know what I mean? Just like, dude, that's it. He's the he's why the world is so fucked right now. That whole metaphor of him doing that to his crew, and for for like so we can enjoy steak and shit is just absolutely unbelievable to me. That made that matrix movie hit hard.

SPEAKER_00 1:43:52

Perfect description of a rat piece of fucking shit.

SPEAKER_06 1:43:57

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. The ultimate, like, oh, what are you doing? And sending those like robot demon things, you know, those you know, that it's not like they just sent like the police to kick their door down. It was like, this is like some crazy next level terminator shit. Yeah, you know, there's a a conspiracy that a black woman wrote the matrix and the terminator movies, and that they are uh they are connected in the sense that it's like the Terminator movies were first, and then the Matrix is what ended up happening afterwards. And I guess uh, you know, she her story is that she got it had it taken from that the Cameron or whoever it was that did the movies, but definitely an interesting little rabbit hole to go down uh in regards to those two movies because they are on another level. The the Matrix and the Terminator. Let's not go there. Uh, who knows? Maybe we're there, maybe we're all in little orbs right now, thinking we're out in the world living and moving and talking and doing all of this stuff. But really, it's just a computer telling the synapses in our brain that this is what's happening.

SPEAKER_09 1:45:05

Who fucking well then then you know, if that that was the case, then you know, uh it's not the case. You can still have an effect. But here's here's a positive one that we had an effect on this week. Um, Ukraine's first legal medical cannabis products were dispensed to military veterans and women with MS. And uh I helped directly contribute to that, as well as Michael Crowitz and our group from our work at the UN. So again, positives, little things, little victories. Now, how'd that happen? Well, we went to the UN, been going to the UN for years. Michael's been going again since the 90s, but uh since 20 um uh 22, I've been doing events, and then 2023 I started going to the UN and it's been an education. But while being there uh and wearing our Veterans Action Council hats, other countries search our little hats and what we're wearing and realize that we were cannabis experts. So um we were then you know introduced by four different people, uh representatives from the Ukrainian government that were looking for medical cannabis, then they got their medical cannabis, but they didn't have PTSD. So uh we've provided them with information regarding that. And so to see this week that they're you know, people with MS and veterans are getting cannabis due to our work directly feels pretty damn good. So I highly recommend that pretty damn good feeling uh by contributing and doing something. You never know. It can start off just by something as very simple as providing literature and information, introducing somebody to someone, and then next thing you know, change happens. So little things become big things over time, but you have to put yourself in those places to do those big things, right? So um you never know what happens when you put yourself in those places, and that was just one place and one access, and to see that happen and appear in the media this week was kind of cool. So I definitely feel good about that, you know. Positive change.

SPEAKER_06 1:47:23

Yeah, that is positive change. I feel too like the more that we have these particular positive changes, the more we can take care of the most vulnerable people, the more we'll get to the population of the world who shouldn't have to wait to become sick to enjoy and love cannabis. And we will start being able to just making it accessible for everyone is like it's so important. I don't want to wait until I have some sickness or disease before someone's willing to, you know. I'm in Canada, so it's a little different. We have full access, but the rest of the world does not. The rest of the world, a lot of the rest of the world has no medical, right? That's like the worst. And then there's a huge part of the rest of the world that is just medical. I found when it was just medical, it was decent. But once it became recreational in Canada, uh it changed. Now it was something substantial. Now it was about the prevented, it was about preventing uh sickness rather than creating it through the consumption of alcohol. It was actually about you could prevent it just by eating gummies or you know, enjoying a a spliff. These are things like that people don't really know until they have there is a massive amount of people who will not use cannabis until it becomes federally legal. And that blew my mind in Canada. I didn't realize that it grew a bit with medical, but when it became federally legal, I'd see people I never thought in a million years using cannabis, and I'd be like, Well, how why are you now just using cannabis? And they're like, Well, it's legal now, just so matter-of-factly, like so deeply like, oh, it's well, it's legal. I'm like, that's the only thing that was keeping you from doing it. And they were just like, Well, yeah, that was a pretty big thing, man. Like, I got a job, I got to go over the border, I got this, I got that. I just I can't, that was just not worth the trade-off for me. But the minute it became federally legal, all of a sudden, uh, a huge percentage of people were willing to try it, which I think is why it was easy for companies to come in and grow lower grade flour because it all still sold to these people who didn't know any different. And in their defense, it was very similar for me. I smoked Mexican brick and you know, like just I didn't smoke the best weed my first time personally. I kind of had to grow build up to it. I didn't have someone to hold my hand with weed. I didn't have a Berkeley's patient group that I could come and buy curated fucking products uh from California. I was like a little 15-year-old kid that had zero connections, uh, and I just had to find the sketchiest. People that I could find, and they usually would be like, Oh yeah, I'll sell weed to a kid. Thank God for the sketchy people. You know? Back then I might have been judging them a little bit, mostly because I was terrified. I'll never forget this Brad, this guy Brad, I used to buy flour from in Winnipeg, and he had a really weird face. And I found out later that his like his whatever these bones are called under your orbital lobe, your cheekbones, they were like uh smashed out of his face. Like people smashed him with a two by four because he like was so sketchy, robbed them, did all sorts of bullshit. And this was one of my first weed dealers that I got weed from. It's just like, oh my god. Like, I you should not be sending young people to places like this. Imagine that who you they just don't understand the picture. The prohibition mindset does not understand that you are sending the lamb to slaughter when you prohibit. You create pathways where the lamb goes to slaughter. You create a pathway, well, you create an environment for a very parasitic group of people to take advantage of a very green group of people who are just like, I don't, which is kind of what happened in the legal market with companies selling, you know, just the swag of the swag and and people buying it to the tune of millions and millions of dollars. It's pretty pretty shocking, but is what it is. It is what it is, Etienne. Anything new in science this week that come up? You know, I am in that science group that you just joined, which is just like I I have a hard time keeping up with that group. The one that Stefan uh runs, the homeostasis group. Uh it's very like it's just non-stop. Uh cannabinoids may help protect the brain. I don't know how new that is, but research suggests cannabinoids can reduce neuroinflammation and oxidative stress. Two processes linked to neuronal neuronal damage. Neuronal damage. Michigan weed growers shopping its property to data center developers as the cannabis market crumbles. No. Michigan's rough. I love how they say the cannabis market crumbles when they just issued a 24% tax for the cannabis industry to pay for all of the roads and potholes in the entire state of Michigan. There's like no other group they're collecting money from for that particular process. Now, correct me if I'm wrong. I heard this from people in Michigan, in the mitten, as we call it. For those of you in the mitten, I was over here. Um, this is how they do it in Michigan. Did you know that, at 10? They'll tell you where they live in Michigan by point holding their hand up and be like, oh, I'm up in the UP.

SPEAKER_09 1:52:40

I'm over in uh Monroe over We do this in West Virginia because we're I used to go to college over here in West Morgantown. We do that, yeah, yeah, because it's shaped just like that. This is the state of West Virginia.

SPEAKER_06 1:52:52

Yeah, I wonder how many states there are that they do that because the mittens are.

SPEAKER_02 1:52:56

Well, I'm from Louisiana originally, so oh shit, that's hilarious, dude.

SPEAKER_06 1:53:02

That is hilarious.

SPEAKER_02 1:53:04

I I guess this would be California. I don't know. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_10 1:53:10

Uh Ben. Oh, hello. Who's that? D4. This is Joe. Joe Dirt. Joe Dirt. Yo, Joe. Hi, Joe. You're a cutie. How old is Joe? He's three, three or four.

SPEAKER_06 1:53:26

Dude, you got a little buddy there? Oh, yeah. Do you know one of my girl? One of my favorite runs on Black Home Mountain, which is going towards Seventh Heaven on the upper road. You can drop into this run called Where's Joe? And Joe was a pipe that Ski Patrol had hidden on the mountain years prior. And people would go and find Joe and have a puff and then put Joe back away. And it was, in fact, my buddy Joe, who we were skiing together, who told me that story. And I dropped in with Joe. Shout out to Joe Wozni. Rest in peace, brother. We miss you. Um, we dropped in to Where's Joe? We looked for the pipe, we couldn't find it. But that's an awesome name for your dog, dude. Joe Dirt. Classic.

SPEAKER_00 1:54:13

We have classic mullet on them and everything for Joe Dirt, right? And then this is Dab. She's like eight years old. Scruffy old girl. Dude, so you got your dogs back? Yes. Yes. That was uh, I just I just said I'm gonna come down and get my dogs, and I'll come down with like 30 people and we'll stand out in front of your place and have a barbecue and a hangout right in front of your house until the neighbors call the police, and I have the paperwork for the dogs, and the police will come and they'll ask what's going on, and I'll just I'm just here picking my dogs up. I got my paperwork here if I need to prove it, and that's about it. And then she'd give them up, but and you know, the whole situation, man, we won't get into one here. We'll talk again, but uh everything's worked out in the way of my dogs. She took my big screen TV, too, and uh, you know what? I just went and got a 75-inch big screen from went from 60 to 75 just yesterday. So I was like, like, you know, whatever material shit, I do not care about. But the dogs she was holding them hostage for ten thousand dollars trying to get 10 grand out of me, and I was just like, and then five grand, and then it was just like, no, I'll just come down and have a nice peaceful little hangout in front of your house and make you look like an idiot. You're muted, you're muted, buddy.

SPEAKER_06 1:55:42

I said, I'm just so glad you got dabs and Joe Dirté back. It's dirte, right? It's French.

SPEAKER_00 1:55:47

Joe, yeah, yeah. But you know what I'm doing through all of this BS. I'm being a nice civil person because that's what needs to be done. I don't want to split those dogs up because one's hers, one's mine, and those dogs are just perfect together. You should see a play fight every single day, they're just little nuts, and you know, they're the only two dogs that I know that screw without her being in fucking heat. You got the dog screwing over there. There's it's fucking hilarious, man.

SPEAKER_06 1:56:22

They just love each other, man.

SPEAKER_00 1:56:23

That's all they do. That's exactly it. So we're we're sharing the dogs. I give them, I give them to her for a couple weeks at a time. I take them for a couple weeks at a time back and forth. Nice. Well, kind of has to be like that, you know.

SPEAKER_06 1:56:37

I I I know the feeling that I get with my heart when they're not around, and dude, you're a reasonable dude, and you're you have empathy, bro. Like for someone, dude, you have come a long way. I will say that about you. You have come a very long way for someone who would have been willing to choose violence like maybe two decades ago, to be able to be like, Oh, you know what? I know how it makes me feel, so I'm thinking about how it makes her feel, and even though she did me so dirty, I think she should have the dogs too. That's that's the bigger man right there, dude.

SPEAKER_00 1:57:12

Well, I'm just doing it not to even be that, just I think it's normal, it's a norm these days. It's it's what it's what happens when I'm like this. It's you know, the stuff that happens when I break down in the middle of nowhere that I'm literally looked after like I'm a long-lost son of relative from the fucking guy and stuff like that, and the people like it's just good luck, man. Like I've man, sometimes I'm struggling to pay the rent, but it always comes. Here's a story for you. I'm up in Dawson Creek working at a job that's only two or three days a week. It's not doing enough. I got I got a six thousand dollar engine I'm fixing in my truck so I can use it for work, and I don't have it, I'm borrowed my buddy's truck. I'm in between jobs, and I'm thinking to myself for a couple of days, holy shit, man, how am I gonna get that truck fixed? And I'm driving from Dawson Creek, Prince George, and through the Pine Pass by uh Powder King, and there's a small three-kilometer cell service area, and I got a call, and I answer it, and it says, Is this Darren Massey? And I'm like, uh, I just usually hang up on these calls because it's usually some kind of scammer. But I said, Yeah, this is Darren, what's going on? And this guy says, Well, this is such and such company and all that. And he says, You're pre-approved for a loan that you could pick up if you wanted to anytime, and all that. I go, a loan for what? Well, what are you talking about? He explained a little more, and that guy approved me, right? I pulled over on the side of the highway while I was in cell service still, and that guy approved me a $7,000 loan, which I went there the next day when I got into town, signed the papers, had the money in my account, and had the money to my mechanic and fixing my truck. Things always work out. They really do. If if you if you believe, you know, there's well here.

SPEAKER_06 1:59:14

I say it all the time. It's not even it's about when you manifest, and this is I believe this deeply, that you won't recognize how it comes, and you'll almost be given an opportunity to push it away because you're not recognizing it, right? This is why Jesus always showed up as a bum, as a homeless guy. He'd give people the opportunity to treat him poorly, at least metaphorically, if it happened or not. The story is the same story. You could have easily just fucking fuck you and hung up on him, but for whatever reason, you said, Well, yeah, I'm this is Darren, what's up? And then now you have the you manifested that, but you also, it's like when we manifest it, it's like we're always given the opportunity first to fuck it up, to shit the bed, to do, to be like, to choose violence, to choose like, nah, fuck you, and hang up and just be like fucking fucking scammer or not. Maybe it's a seven thousand dollar loan that's gonna relieve off of you like you wouldn't fucking believe. But it showed up to you through an Indian call center. Do you know what I mean? Like where you're like, fuck, this is like gotta be a scam.

SPEAKER_00 2:00:28

But never past hello.

SPEAKER_06 2:00:31

Never, but for some reason, without thinking, you were able to get past hello. And that's the only reason it came through for you. So that is if anyone watching the show, if you want to know the gem for today, I'll look right into the camera when I say it. The gem is that you will not manifest you will not recognize your manifestation. If you're trying to get somewhere, you might manifest the very thing that looks like the opposite of getting there. So make sure that you are open to everything and that you're willing to not choose. You know, I'll use the story that I told recently about Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock. Herbie Hancock was young. He was playing for Miles Davis for the first time, uh, maybe ever. I don't know, maybe the first few times. You can Google the story. It's called you could Google Herbie Hancock wrong note. Uh, anyway, Herbie Hancock plays the wrong note while they're jamming, they're playing this incredible song. He plays the wrong note on his keyboards. He's fucking mortified. He can't even think about it in a split second, instead of Miles Davis playing the next notes that were supposed to be played to make Herbie's wrong note sound wrong. Miles plays different notes that makes Herbie's wrong note sound right. So, what Darren did when he got the call is he played these notes. Instead of listening to, oh, this is the wrong note, I'm gonna play a bunch more wrong notes. He played the the notes that made that wrong note sound like the right note. And when you do that, you unlock the opportunity. Because of it, Darren got a $7,000 loan. For me, I started bubble bags. When that happened, I got arrested by a police officer with 16 pounds and six grand cash on the side of the road. And that was the beginning of bubble bags, which was the beginning of Hash Church, which was the beginning of you know, everything that I've done with Bubble Man brand since that. It all really like was blown into reality by my manifestation of first getting busted. And I would have never, ever, ever thought that my manifestation would show up as Constable John Lowe on the fucking side of the road in West Vancouver on that fateful day in 1998. You just never know, man.

SPEAKER_00 2:02:49

And that's just a drop in the bucket of things that happen all the time. It's just the way it is. You just gotta have the right mindset, not be negative and jealousy and greed.

SPEAKER_06 2:03:02

Well, it's temptation. I all of those things I just put into temptation, and it's like you're tempted to play the wrong notes. You're like, you hear this note, you think it's the wrong note, and you want to play more wrong notes. And it's like, don't do that. You might have manifested this, you know. That's why I love jazz. It's improvisational. This is why I love jam bands like The Grateful Dead and String Cheese and Fish and Billy Strings and all of these different types of music because they're so improvisational that in the moment as they're doing it, they're opening doors that would otherwise you could not just start with opening that door. You could never start a jam at the 36th minute of the jam. You have to play the first 35 minutes to get there. And so I love improvisation and I love pivoting and I love you know making sure that, and that's why I think a lot of the cannabis people, why you know we're resilient, is because we are really, really, really willing to pivot and do whatever we got to do to continue to uh you know have this relationship with cannabis. Yeah, well, that sucks, dude. Sort of here, Grant Wiedner who got busted with 40 pounds in 98. He was 18 years old. Damn, I'm guessing those maybe weren't your pounds, or maybe you were highly advanced at 18 and just had 40 pounds.

SPEAKER_00 2:04:21

It's random because some of them young boys in the Okanagan grew young guys grew side of the mountain crops outdoors and oh yeah, grew thousands of pounds and fucking those boys made some money, man. Made some money, yeah. They really did. That's when outdoor was a couple of thousand a pound.

SPEAKER_06 2:04:41

I know, you know, and they're out there had no seeds and looked like greenhouse. Oh, yeah, fuck yeah, proper. Yeah, fucking A. I miss that, but at the same time, you know, I've been going to facilities. I was in a facility the other day. What facility? Oh, I was at my buddy uh Jay's house the other day, which was great. I was in the in the whack visiting his place. He I got a bunch of full melt bubble from him. It's actually down in my freezer right now, otherwise, I'd be smashing it right now. Um, he also grew this flower, these papaya something buds, and this please wash me bud. He's got all the grandmaster LEDs, top and bottom, under canopy. He's like, dude, there's no small buds. I'm like, dude, that's what I told you, bro. If you put lights on underneath the plants, I don't know why it took us so long to figure out like, oh, if you put plants, lights under the plants, uh, all the small buds somehow end up big. It's like, somehow, it's their lights, bro. That's what's growing the plant, giving it enough of the right nutrients. So I went and saw that. That was nice. I also went and saw a really nice facility in Colorado recently. Shout out to Joch Chin uh and his company, Cherry, the company he works for. Shout out to Vincent and Andrew, the owners there. Uh, got to meet them as well after I did the tour. These guys are doing great things in Colorado, growing beautiful flour, a lot of beautiful products. They press rosin and make bubble and do pre-roll joints and trim this and flower that. And so just a really nice uh facility. Once again, had I had my photos uh upload into my thing here, which is so strange that it just won't sink. Uh, maybe if I close it and reopen it. But um, yeah, got some great photos there. Really nice, beautiful flower. What I'm noticing, and maybe it's just where I get pulled to, the more and more grows that I go to, regardless of size, the flower is exceptional. People are really starting to get how to grow flower on a larger scale. And this is something that of course Skunkman Sam always preached from the mountaintops that you can grow fire in fields. You know, a lot of people that I knew in the industry were like, I don't think you can. And then I would always say, Well, maybe you can't, maybe I can't, but there definitely are people uh in agriculture who can grow you know fire material in, you know, on acres at least, a couple, you know, two or three or four acres easily. Um, I don't think that's too too big. Just reading the chat. It all starts with smoking hash in the morning. Well, I know I started this morning bright and early. A Tian came in with the with the hash infused flower or C B D THC ripper. And now he's hitting his uh oh, he's got his Puffco custom top. Look at that. If you hold it low enough, you can think that it's a glass pipe. I might have to get into the you know what? I'll put my custom top on, bro. Just because I haven't hit it in so long. Check my hey d420k, did you go away? Because you're gonna love this custom top. Check this shit out.

SPEAKER_03 2:07:45

Nice. Oh, that's hilarious. It's a Bullman. That's funny.

SPEAKER_01 2:07:56

That's nice.

SPEAKER_03 2:07:58

Isn't that funny?

SPEAKER_09 2:08:00

That's great, man. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 2:08:03

Kind of uh kind of ridiculous. Oh shit, I got this bad boy here, too. Look at that fucking thing. Very nice. Smells a little resin, might have to clean her up a bit. Also got this little guy sitting here. This I love this little guy because it's just fits in my hand. But uh we'll hit the bullman. Let's do a rip of the bullman. You can't smoke all day if you don't start in the morning. That's kind of the the motto of the day, it seems. Goat. We just mentioned that in chat. My big brother loves collecting Coleman lanterns. I'll have to buy him one of those. You can get it at Hemperco Tavern. Hemperco, which I think is a very mainstream like China glass company. They got in touch with me. These companies have been getting in touch with me for a very long time. And I usually go on their website and I look and I'm like, oh, this is just like really like nothing that I'm really going to enjoy. Well, I got to give it up to Hemperco because they surprised me. First of all, what I was doing with them, and I'll be full disclosure, I was getting stuff from my uncle. My uncle's a hermit, he lives in a cabin. You know, he doesn't, you know, he's not buying a bunch of glass or whatever. So what I got him was I got him two of these hempers, they were like, we'll send you whatever. I was like, Well, I like those hemper bongs, hemperer bongs, the bullman's. So my uncle has two bongs like this. They aren't Puffcoat tops. He's got one that's about this big and one that's about this big. And then they threw this in for me. So I got two bongs for my uncle and one top for me. So, you know, honestly, and I'll be I'll be very honest, it's been great. It hasn't like broken, it hasn't like chipped, there's no weird paint on it. It doesn't taste weird, it doesn't, you know, like I've been harsh on a lot of these companies. Um, that being said, I have partners in China. We make lights in China, I make equipment in China. Um, when you have the integrity, you can make great shit in China with the right partners. And uh this fucking thing is thick and feels good. And I'm not usually one to, you know, to promote the China glass, but you know, these guys are doing a pretty cool job. I also don't think that a product like this is really taking away from the North American glass floor. It's you know, like copying everything they do is definitely shitty. But if you're making your own, you know, kind of cool little tops and stuff, uh, I think it's kind of kind of cool. And so there it is. I'm gonna hit a I'm gonna hit a Coleman right now. If you're watching Uncle Gio, this one's for you, buddy. I did put a dab in there. What are you hitting there, D? Mothership Balric? Or you're muted. Nice to see you today, Darren.

SPEAKER_00 2:10:44

You too, buddy. My brother. My brothers.

SPEAKER_09 2:10:50

Been way too long, sir. Been way too long.

SPEAKER_00 2:10:54

Yep. Well, life catches up and takes a hold and controls sometimes, right? And it's sometimes to try to make it a little different. Make some changes.

SPEAKER_06 2:11:10

Changes are good. One of my favorite Ozzy Osborne songs, Changes.

SPEAKER_00 2:11:14

Yeah, you bet. Was it Sabbath? It was a Sabbath, Sabbath first, yeah. It was Aussie. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 2:11:23

Love that song, dude. I was a big Aussie fan when I was like nine years old. Like, and Black Sabbath. I got turned on to Black Sabbath so early, which led me into kind of all the metal bands. Yes, single source. We're trying to get into Ontario. We're working on it. Um, we're in the middle of applying to the OCS and the SQC to get into Quebec and Ontario and maybe BC. I I gotta phone those guys and see what go what's going on, but uh we're working on it. Yeah, good old heady glass. It was nice. Uh I still love it. Don't get me wrong. I got my ship and I, you know, I got this old Max Poland double bubbler, which is like as heady as fuck. It's got the crushed opal, old school Max Pollen marble, like just fucking epic work all the way around the pipe, both chambers, you know, right to the bottom. Um just I'll always appreciate glass like this. It will all it'll always be kind of uh you know, something that I have. And I've got a box full of it up there, so I'm hoping eventually to get it all out. Maybe I'll bring it to the reserve uh in Colorado, bring it over there and put it on display, and it's better to have it than just in boxes. But I have some beautiful glass in the boxes up there that uh old Marcell's and you know, things that were just uh sparse back in the day. It was like a unique time when we were all buying glass, you know. Like fuck these pieces over my shoulder right here. Remember these ones, D, these ones sold for like I want to say $250,000, like all three of these.

SPEAKER_00 2:13:09

And we're smoking out of them like fucking mad at that one hotel. Absolutely the food, like the charcuterie boards, the fucking $12, $14 grilled peanut butter and jam sandwiches with no crust and a glass of milk at the end. Like, like the fucking food. I got those pictures up on Instagram on my Instagram shit. The foods were everything was always about the food. Dude, you're a foodie, man.

SPEAKER_07 2:13:33

You're a foodie. You love you're like, I want to go fucking eat. I'm like, all right, dude. Well, where do you want to go? He's like, I don't know, but it's gotta be good.

SPEAKER_00 2:13:41

Yeah, oh yeah, fuck sure. Found lots of good places in van. That's one of the things I want to do this summer is do another food tour. I haven't I haven't done a road trip on my bike in three years.

SPEAKER_04 2:13:53

I'm in the same boat, dude. It'd be nice to rip up on the highway with you.

SPEAKER_00 2:13:57

Putting 10 to 15,000 K on my bike in two months in the summer is like you remember when we got pulled over together. What happened?

SPEAKER_06 2:14:05

Don't you remember we got pulled over going up Cyprus?

SPEAKER_00 2:14:08

Oh, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we're just going a little too fast. He said he goes from the one corner where the rest off is up. We don't patrol up there if you guys wanted to go fast or whatever.

SPEAKER_06 2:14:20

He was such a nice cop, dude.

SPEAKER_00 2:14:22

Yeah, did we get tickets or warnings?

SPEAKER_06 2:14:24

I think he warned us, yeah, because I don't, you know, like and we were speeding, bro, like 40k or 30k over the speed limit, not like 10 or 5 on motors on loud screaming eagle pipes. Oh fuck, he was right. What it was what happened was he was behind us, we didn't realize, and then someone was going slow in front of us, and we like ripped around them, and then he pulled us over. Yeah, that's a funny experience to have with you, though. Fuck now, me and D are just dealing with this cop.

SPEAKER_00 2:15:00

Oh man, I've had some dealings with the cops on the side of the road. I had this guy, the CN cop. Okay, I didn't think CN cops had much jurisdiction in all this outside of the CN yard and the whale ray tracks, but they got a lot. I come in from a hundred kilometer zone into an 80 zone and then a 60, and he was going slow, and I went past him because I was a cocky young fucking biker. And uh the guy puts his lights on, pulls me over at McCleese Lake up here in the north. And I get off my bike and he gets out of his car and I look at him. I go, You can't fucking pull me over. What do you think you're doing? And he just looks at me. What did what I was like, did I stutter? You can't fucking pull me over, you're just a CN cop. Fucking go to your train chats, beat it. Fuck the guy was fucking livid, and then a police, uh RCMP was coming towards him, and he started waving because I wasn't letting up at all. I was like, Fuck you, you can't have my license. No, fuck off, fucking beat it, fuck you, copper, just being a cocky little fuck. And this is I was in my 20s. That was that I was real cocky on my bike, thinking I'm bad. And the he pulls, he's just waving his arms, going right across the lane to stand in front of the cop car to pull him, pull him over. And he pulls them over. Cop gets out and he's he's looking at me. And the cops knew me back then pretty good. And he goes, What's going on, Darren? I go, This is a fucking CN cop. They can't fucking pull me over. What do you think this is? And the cop looks at me, he goes, Actually, man, they got more jurisdiction than we do. So I advise you to shut up, take your ticket, or we'll search you in your bike. You know, maybe we'll go that far. And I was like, Okay. Oh, dude. Fuck man, that cop was so fucking mad. And on my way back up from Van in the same area but different, I was just ripping on it, like as fast as I could on that little dinosaur fucking super glide I had my first bike, and it I and I passed the cop was coming down this way, but there was so much traffic that he couldn't turn around because I seen him turn his lights on, but he couldn't quickly turn around everything. I just fucking hammered it harder and I just outran him, no problem. I've outran a few of them. Fucking my bike's now a 106 and it's stage four and it fucking honks, man. Like when it when I cranked the throttle, the back end, it just like it honkers right down and just grabs its fucking well, you know, you'll see. Yeah, it's it's chance got a bunch of stuff done to his motor, it was 114 or something new in stock or something like that, and 13. And uh he didn't, I didn't know one year, so his bike was faster than mine, so I didn't let him know. And I got my 106 kit put in my bike and everything like that. And on our first road trip, he comes to get me. And I'm we cruise out about 50 kilometers out of Prince George on our first day of the road trip, and we get to this big hill in this straight stretch. I looked over at him, I gave it a crank, and he fucking thought, Oh, yeah, you want to race? And I fucking he starts starts giving her. I just dropped a gear and I left him in the fucking dust, man. And he was just like, What the fuck did you do to that? I said 106 did man fucking can't be getting beat every year.

SPEAKER_06 2:18:27

You can get a lot of fucking horsepower on those things. That's frightening, those different stages that you can take the motors to. Holy shit.

SPEAKER_00 2:18:35

Well, my my daughter's grandma. Um, she bought a new bike this year. It's 106 stock, dude.

SPEAKER_06 2:18:44

First of all, can we go back to my daughter's grandma? That is amazing, dude. My daughter's grandma bought a new bike.

SPEAKER_00 2:18:51

This lady and this and her old man, her old man looks like a member right off his easy top. When I was younger, I was 16 when I was starting to hang out with their daughter and his stepdaughter. But the difference between him and these guys that I got to to fucking have as my peers were well, I'd be over to my buddy's place, and his older brother would come in and check out the base, check down. Yo, what do you guys got for the weed here, man? Check out our bag of weed and roll a couple joints up, like we're gonna smoke a couple of everything, and now take them. We'd be what do you do? What do you mean? Fuck you, see you later. That's all those guys were, right? But these guys, I'd pull a bag of weed out, and they're like, Hit Ian and Decker Don, these bucking these these boys, these real biker men to shop all the the fucking center folds of the easy riders and engines and bikes, and they're the ones that go, no, no, put that shit away, buddy. Check this out. And they had this fucking skunk and these Afghanis and everything else that were just fucking incredible. I started buying weed off of them and selling it down at the arcade and at school and everything like that. And I always sold out first because it was always the best of the best.

SPEAKER_06 2:20:09

We definitely grew up in the same generation, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:20:12

But this lady, this lady was uh, you know, she she came from the trenches, man, on the reserve to literally the chief of treaty eight in Fort Nelson, and the chief of treaty eight means she's the chief of chiefs, wow, and the political stuff that she did for the native communities, for everything that could possibly be good was is is incredible. And she's going on for counsel now. She's not the chief anymore, she gave it up, but she uh she has rode her bike all over North America. She's got tats from head to toe. She is a strong fucking native woman warrior. And my granddaughter, like she's my grand, my daughter has ridden on the back of the bike on Ian's or Liz's through the rains, through the sun, through the deserts, through everything, and like she's a seasoned rider and everything like that. It's it's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_04 2:21:10

That's awesome, dude.

SPEAKER_00 2:21:12

Powerful lady, strong, strong lady. That's uh Monica's uh grandma.

SPEAKER_06 2:21:18

Yeah, that's awesome. Lyndon's 12 now. Oh my god, that's uh one year older than Tanner.

SPEAKER_00 2:21:27

Man, what a he's what a kid, man. You know, he's 12 years old, and I look at him at 12, and I look at myself at 12. But he already did a fucking six months in juvie for fuck's sakes by the time I was 12.

SPEAKER_06 2:21:47

Damn, by the time I was 12, dude, I was like playing hockey. All I was doing at 12 was playing hockey, which I gotta tell you, dude, my son is now playing hockey at 11 years old. He is he took Tanner is like kind of finished with ski school up at Whistler. He did eight years of that on Black Home and Whistler Mountain, and now he's like, I want to play hockey. And he's been playing like you know, he went from barely being able to skate to completely being able to go forwards, backwards, forwards, like he's just having fun, dude. It's really fun for me because I can relate to that. I played a lot of hockey, I didn't ski as a kid at all. I've never skied at the skillboard. So watching him play hockey, dude, has been the absolute joy of joys, and it's just been like skill camp so far because it was he got into it at the end of winter, so we just had to put him into hockey for fun, skill camp, stick and puck, and that all birth basically ended about a week ago. So now we got to figure him out for some hair. Uh no, he's kind of got a bob cat bob hairdo. He kind of like cuts his yeah, he's got this hairdo that he himself picked years ago, and he's kind of been rocking it ever since. But uh nice, yeah, dude. We'll have to get those two together one day, man.

SPEAKER_00 2:22:59

For sure.

SPEAKER_06 2:23:00

I think they would Tanner's always got a parade, that's what Shar calls it. He's just got a parade of kids around him, he's got the trampoline, they got their little electric scooters, and they just they parade around, dude.

SPEAKER_00 2:23:11

You know, Lyndon's moms, he's got two moms, right? They're and uh that little dude has a little rec room in the basement, like you have never seen a kid have uh from then the hockey stuff. He's got those little hockey, it is a fucking amazing wax, mini sticks.

SPEAKER_06 2:23:31

We play mini sticks all the time, dude.

SPEAKER_00 2:23:33

Man, like the stuff that the stuff that he gets to do that his mom support him in and treat him good with, and like like man, I just can't believe how well this young boy is thriving. But he's a typical little boy, he's a little shit. But we uh we're two two two blocks, three blocks tops away from each other. So I go over. I'll show you this here. I go over to his place at any given time.

SPEAKER_04 2:24:03

That's awesome, nice and close.

SPEAKER_00 2:24:05

We do we do this stuff here. Wonder if I can do the camera.

SPEAKER_06 2:24:11

Yeah, that'll be a flip button. So oh yeah, damn. Look at that. Hey, you're just in the fucking bush, dude.

SPEAKER_00 2:24:17

Oh, yeah. Fucking rights, man.

SPEAKER_05 2:24:19

Look how beautiful it is.

SPEAKER_00 2:24:22

Got my gym in the shop there. I started using a little bit ago. Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_06 2:24:27

Side by sides, gyms and green and greenhouses, dude. That is my kind of backyard, right? There's your TV, TV, yeah. New TV there.

SPEAKER_05 2:24:35

Let's talk about the packaging, Darren. Yeah, I'm gonna burn it. I'm gonna fucking burn it. Joe Dirt. Don't burn Joe Dirt accidentally. Oh no, never. Come on, dogs. Come. That's awesome.

SPEAKER_06 2:24:53

Oh, good fun. You know, the more I go to the US, the more I want to get uh rent motorcycles and experience riding around. I definitely don't think I'll go to Colorado again without renting a bike at for at least 24 hours, even though it's not cheap.

SPEAKER_00 2:25:08

It's like it's you know two three hundred bucks for a bike for 24 hours, but still, I remember when you used to dock your boat down at the fucking marina for that much a day and not even use your boat. I know for like weeks, yeah, for weeks. Yeah, I'd like to go float around in the bay there again, too.

SPEAKER_06 2:25:28

I just picked my boat up yesterday when I was in Chilliwack, it's sitting on my front yard right now.

SPEAKER_00 2:25:33

As soon as I got enough saved up that I can take a week and go for a road trip, I'm coming down.

SPEAKER_06 2:25:38

Yeah, dude, absolutely. Come check it out, dude. We got a spot for you, you can hang out with us.

SPEAKER_00 2:25:45

Oh, yeah. I remember, I remember fucking staying at your place and we're at dinner or something like that, and you're telling telling the young fellow, yeah, Darren's gonna stay in your room tonight. And the kid looks and goes, fuck that. Uh, and then I didn't even stay in the room because it was so fucking hot there. I had to stay down in the basement and where there was a little cooler air and the stuff was open. Oh, so fucking hot.

SPEAKER_06 2:26:11

Oh, yeah, dude. It's hot right now. We have about two months where the house is is quite warm. What while we have blinds, so we keep them down and we move with move air with fans, but we don't have you don't got an air, you don't got an air conditioner yet? No, we're not really big fans of the AC, my wife and I. We could put one in if we wanted it, but I don't like the way it makes me feel.

SPEAKER_00 2:26:33

I'd have four of them in that place. It'd be a fucking ice box. Oh my god. I'd love it. You're hilarious. Oh god. I love my air conditioning.

SPEAKER_04 2:26:45

Oh yeah. That's awesome.

SPEAKER_06 2:26:50

What else? What else is going on in the world of cannabis? I think uh I am gonna be going to Michigan next month, July 27th. Gonna be doing a thing with mock technologies. If you guys have seen these guys, they had the ATS that uh that machine that was like a vacuum. It was like a jet sieve that like cleaned Logan uh Wolverine Dabbs was promoting it for dry sift after the static sifter. You put it in this thing and it just makes it pure heads. Um, so they've got water extraction equipment and some other stuff too. I'm gonna go do a course on the 27th. You can check them out at Mock Technologies. We haven't announced it yet. This is me actually announcing it for the first time. Um, but yeah, it's gonna be a course on the 27th in Michigan. I don't know if it's I think it's in Detroit, which is easy. You can just drop fly to Windsor and then take the tunnel bus across the border to Detroit. Easy peasy. Always love that. So yeah, if any of you guys are uh around, you want to learn about more about the mock technologies equipment or hang out and meet me for a day. Uh I might even be there for a couple of days, and then I'll probably uh continue on uh to go see my partners down in Michigan and go to the lab and maybe you know figure out uh making sure everything's being done properly and all of that. So that's kind of my next. Although I might end up for 710 in Colorado. I that that could happen as well, which is crazy because that's like just a little less than a month away. Keep telling my wife to get her passport so she can come on these trips. I'm I'm going on a lot of trips, Darren. It's unbelievable. It's just like every month.

SPEAKER_00 2:28:26

What's this stuff? What's this stuff that Tony makes? This new stuff, this oral thing.

SPEAKER_06 2:28:32

Oh, it's called Ampersam. My buddy Dan makes it here locally as well. If you ever want to see it, actually, my buddy Jay, who I was at with in Chilliwack the other day, he was raving about it. That the stuff that Dan made because he can, you know, dose it better or something. And he's a real um edible guy more than a smoker. So yeah, he made this. I don't know. It's edible, yeah. It's just like an edible edible powder, it's almost like a sugary powder. I think he learned about it back in the day when he was doing the terpenes with the sugar. Remember when I got the sugar that had the terpenes in it? I think that process led to create ampersand. My buddy Dan knows the process, or at least very similar because it looks almost identical uh to what Tony was doing there. But uh, yeah, just another kind of way of doing um an edible product. Pretty cool. Personally, I ate it a couple times and didn't get high. Now, I don't know if I didn't take enough or or what it was. It was given to me in Barcelona and I had some and I scooped a couple scoops down, and I didn't feel it. I always feel it. I usually feel now my buddy Jay the other day, who had was using the stuff from Dan, he said it was very strong. Like he could feel it right away in a small dose, and as he built up, it just got stronger and stronger. So my buddy Jay's got a fucked up back, he broke all the bones in his back, and he's been in car accidents, and he's got operations and all this shit happening. So he really needs the the edibles to uh to fight that pain. So yeah, that's ampersand. I'm sure you'll see it around um like anything. I think Tony was the first to kind of produce it. I I've heard tapioca shells, I've heard all these different weird things that they use to create it. I have really no idea uh what it is, but uh, I'm sure you could take it to a lab and get it tested and it would tell you exactly what everything is. You know, another way to get THCA. I mean, honestly, these things, everything that we love, whether it's a cream or a drop or a patch or a beverage or a whatever, it's always the cannabis that's the magic. And I think in the cannabis world, what we tend to do is try and use the magic to create a proprietary product that we can then brag is only ours and that we created it and we control it. But the bottom line is it's cannabinoids and volatile organic compounds that are the magic. And it seems to be even when Rick Simpson was using naphtha to make you know that fucking black oil, and it was definitely not the cleanest product, it was still shrinking cancers out of people's bodies, and that's fucking naphtha, dude. You know how like shitty naphtha is. Wasn't he using isopropanol? I think down the road, I think originally it was naphtha and then it turned into isopropanol.

SPEAKER_00 2:31:13

Either way naphtha would make the oil nice and yellow, is what that used to do for us.

SPEAKER_06 2:31:19

Well, I mean, naphtha will make the oil dark first, but if you run it through a charcoal filter, then you can make it red or oil uh or uh honey colored, like uh cherry. Yeah, cherry oil was first because you don't you only have to when it's black and you or green, when you run it through charcoal, um, it removes the color and makes it red almost right away. But then to take that and go and make it golden. This was before all the media and all the CRCing. This was just basic carbon. Um, it was a lot. You'd lose like nine grams of the ten grams of oil to make one gram of of like golden see-through oil before BHO, before you know all of that stuff. But um people figured out a better way to do it, I guess. As they do! Alrighty then smoking bowlman reps. His name's George with an S. His actual name is George. You ever hear that before? Very French.

SPEAKER_04 2:32:41

George S. George S.

SPEAKER_06 2:32:44

You know Etienne.

SPEAKER_09 2:32:48

Way Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Etienne used to have an N S in it uh until the 17th century, and then they removed it. It used to be E-S-T-I-E-N-N-E S-T-N.

SPEAKER_04 2:33:05

Okay.

SPEAKER_09 2:33:07

And then they're like, yeah, fuck your S's. They rebelled against I guess it was the S revolution, and everybody rebelled against the S's. And uh, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 2:33:18

Fuck yeah.

SPEAKER_09 2:33:19

Fuck those S's.

SPEAKER_04 2:33:21

Yeah. It was 1944, and they had to get rid of the S's, all the S's.

SPEAKER_06 2:33:30

That's an SS joke for those of you that missed it.

SPEAKER_09 2:33:34

Yeah, that one wasn't black or white, it was pretty gray. Yeah. Gray was the color of their uniforms.

SPEAKER_06 2:33:45

Hugo I just asked my uncle what he's doing. He says, I'm in the middle of the forest on a tr on a trail on my e bike. I stopped to have a water and a puff. My uncle won like a $3,000 e bike recently with a like a $20. $20 ticket that he bought at like a fish tackle shop. It's crazy how often my uncle wins shit like this. He also won a cooler in a fishing tournament recently, like a $500 Yeti cooler. But yeah, he's got this e-bike, and now he's able to boot around at the where he lives in the White Shell in Manitoba, which is just bush. He's able to boot around on all these trails on this e-bike. It's it's so awesome.

SPEAKER_00 2:34:27

That lady Liz, I was telling you about the chief lady. Yeah, she won two motorcycles and three motorcycle sculptures and art and everything like that from the different bike rallies and stuff like that, just by buying tickets. She's one lucky lady. Two motorcycles, man.

SPEAKER_06 2:34:49

Well, I'll tell anyone a trick if they want to know one. And this happened in uh the 90s when Ron Hickey was giving away a 32-plant pipe system with 2,000 watt light bulbs and the big parabolic shields. We had it, we brought it set up in the back of a U-Haul truck, lit that fucking thing up at the racetrack in Manitoba, where Ziggy Marley and a bunch of other people were playing a concert, and we got to give away the whole grow, go up on stage. Ziggy Marley had all the tickets, and one of Ron's friends who bought a ticket, instead of taking the ticket and folding it like this and putting it inside the thing, she went like this and she said, I always win when I do this, and threw it in. And this shape, when you shake a jar full of like flat padded, this will always come up to the top. It just moves to the top because it's round, it's just the physics of it. And she fucking won. And I remember Ron was actually kind of pissed off. He was a little like, fuck, you figured out how to hack the system. But Ziggy Marley pulled it out on stage and announced the number that it was, and she won. And it was uh it was pretty cool to be set up at the race track in the 90s at a Ziggy Marley show with a U-Haul truck with 2,000 watts burning and a 32 plant system. Now we didn't have the plants in there, obviously, but how fucking cool was that?

SPEAKER_02 2:36:22

Hell yeah, Uncle Jill. Look at that. Is that 94 or 95?

SPEAKER_06 2:36:29

Uh geez, that would have probably been. Ooh, I stayed in Manitoba till 96, so it could have been 93 or 94, absolutely. Yep. Oh, you're muted.

SPEAKER_09 2:36:44

Uh he was on tour, so we used to run into him on tour, her hand, hand his manager. Uh because yeah, they were always looking for good weed.

SPEAKER_06 2:36:52

Indeed, they were. That's why they were so stoked to give away this system. Shout out to my uncle who's in the fucking bush right now on his on his e-bike.

SPEAKER_10 2:37:03

Looking like a badass.

SPEAKER_06 2:37:05

Dude, fucking Uncle Gio, bro. Yo, Uncle Uncle looks ready. He's my skunkle. He was the he was the first one to ever uh in my family to give me a bud. And I remember being at work. Harry wants me to share his uh his e-bike too that he won that he's booting around on. Fucking fun. Fun stuff for Uncle Geo. Stoked for him. I was gonna invite him in, but he's literally in the middle. You know, it's probably 30 degrees out there, and he's wearing a fucking like like football jacket. That's awesome. Dude, my uncle is living the life of like a guy in the future, but also of a guy from 200 years ago. So he has this total hermetic lifestyle of living at the cabin, and he's friends with the ravens, and a fox has come and visit him, and he's got all these fucking friends that are like animals, right? Like a lot. It's ridiculous. And uh instead of shooting them now, he shoots them with his video camera and his camera. He just takes pictures, he doesn't hunt anymore to kill the way he used to. But at the same time, he's like dri riding an electric bike through the forest, you know, like it's pretty neat to see. Um he says, This trail I'm on, I have to go around the backside of a beaver dam. It was a little damp, but I got through. Should have taken a picture of it. Used to never be there, used to be a little babbling brook, and we used to make a bridge to go over it. Now a fucking beaver got there and made a nice home. He'll be friends with that beaver in like weeks, I promise you. He'll be telling me about the beaver. He sends me pictures of the ravens like landing on his deck. He's got a fox hanging out, a silver, uh silver-tailed fox that hangs out on his deck and just you know, chill chills out with him, basically. I'm like, dude, you are living the fucking life, bro. You fish, you swim, you, you, you, you enjoy life, and the animals are basically your your homies. Not to mention he's super helpful to his neighbors. He understands being in the service of others. He's the first guy to help you shovel, he's the first guy to give you a jump, he's the first guy to lend you something or be helpful, or just go out of his way to um to make your life a little bit better. So shout out to Skunkle Geo. Absolutely good fucking dude. Man, I don't know where my wife is, but usually she brings me a beverage, and uh I could really use that beverage right now as I watch D420K slam back his beverage. Was that water or coffee? Coffee. Fuck yeah, it was. I had a feeling. I had a feeling. That's okay, man. No judgments. Do you know the pollution that coffee cost? It wasn't a pod, was it? Yes, it was.

SPEAKER_08 2:40:00

Welcome to coffee church, ladies and gentlemen. Who brought the creamer?

SPEAKER_06 2:40:05

Fuck. Welcome to coffee church. Oh my god, dude. It's true though. I remember we got one of those damn things from my daughter when she started drinking coffee, and then all of a sudden it was like fuck, these pods can't be good. Is anything we do good? Can we just do anything good? Is there a way to figure out a system? I I just feel like it's easier for humans to follow the demonic intelligence than it is for us to follow the angelic intelligence. It seems like you know what I mean by that. Like it's just like bad choices versus good choices. Uh I I I don't know how to say it any other way, but um, but it it is it is good that yes, of course we're hypocrites, but at the same time, it's good to be aware. I mean, fuck, this thing's fucking plastic. What am I doing? I I'm supporting it for some reason. I uh we gotta figure it out. I don't know how I could live without plastic at this point in time. I bet you my uncle's close to doing it though, outside of that e-bike and the helmet and all his clothes and the computer and the phone and his fishing boat, his fishing line, and everything else he touches and uses in his entire life.

SPEAKER_08 2:41:13

Holy shit.

SPEAKER_09 2:41:18

It's funny, you guys. It's funny. I don't know if it'll drive you crazy.

SPEAKER_04 2:41:24

Well, exactly, dude.

SPEAKER_09 2:41:26

You know, plus you know those coping mechanisms.

SPEAKER_06 2:41:31

Yes, exactly. Which you know, we don't have at all, but we should all take a bong rip anyway.

SPEAKER_00 2:41:37

Bong rip, so would be mother mother lovers. Oh I like the motherfucker.

SPEAKER_06 2:41:44

We would accept a motherfucker, but mother lovers nice, dude. Yeah, I don't even know what it means exactly, but I love my mother.

SPEAKER_09 2:41:52

Love mine too. Love since you're wearing that slayer shirt. Have you were you able to ever see them live?

SPEAKER_04 2:42:00

Oh, did he see them live, bro?

SPEAKER_00 2:42:04

I believe it was Mark that sat me up with the other Mark because the other mark wanted someone to give them some weed, they needed some weed at the end of their tour, the end of their Canadian tour. That's right. And I took my my buddy Jake, my brother Jake. You guys all know Big Jakey. He fucking uh he drove down from Prince George overnight to bring down some beautifully fucking freshly finished, cured OG Kush that was just king in that day. And I brought that to them. I got uh got to smoke with Tom Area in the fucking change room and that and the and the group the roadies. I made really good friends with this one roadie, and we kept in touch. And every time they came to Canada, I believe it was the last three Canadian tours they did, maybe four. Might be I'd like to say four, but it's probably only three. I'm probably exaggerating. But uh, I got to supply them with their cush edibles and pens, and they supplied me with fucking like the last one was a friends and friends and family VIP, where the only place I wasn't allowed to go was to the VIP uh scaffolding stage beside the stage. I was with the roadies where the guitars are with Tom with Carrie. Carrie King's a fucking dick. I hope you hear it too. Fuck you, and uh, but but the rest of them fuck man, Gary Holt and buddy. It was like I got to do that three different times for sure, and it was the biggest bucket checklist I could ever fucking want checked off my list.

SPEAKER_06 2:43:47

Yeah, that was that was one of my favorite things to be able to do for you, dude, because yeah, I knew how much you loved Slayer.

SPEAKER_00 2:43:53

Well, since I hitchhiked to see him in when I was 16, him and them in Pantera in Vancouver.

SPEAKER_06 2:43:59

Well, that was the original question was that asked you if you've seen Slayer. So I was I was like, holy you went right to the end, but you'd seen them so they were one of your favorite bands.

SPEAKER_00 2:44:10

That's why it was like, oh no, D's gotta D's gotta be the only time that I didn't see them was when I was doing time. That's it, right? And that might have been a couple times.

SPEAKER_06 2:44:22

That's the worst, that's the worst time.

SPEAKER_00 2:44:25

Yeah, well, that's the way it goes. You play your pace sometimes, don't we? And the way she goes, boys.

SPEAKER_06 2:44:32

The lessons in the time.

SPEAKER_00 2:44:34

Yeah, I'm gonna mute some up.

SPEAKER_06 2:44:38

The lesson is in the time. Yeah, no, I remember that. D was so fucking stoked, Etienne. Like, oh my god, you know, just his favorite band ever. All of a sudden he's just like hanging out with them and bringing them weed and smoking weed with them, and you know, it's it's it's a dream in a sense. You don't really want to do it with all your bands because a lot of them, you know, they're working, they're it's not the best experience all the time, but when it can hit, and it is when you make that friend with that old school roadie, you know, like I had it personally with the Beastie Boys, you know, eating vegan food backstage, them not allowing anyone else because they don't want to party. I'm like, oh my god, you guys are like me. This is what I want to do. They're like, yeah, smoke hash out of an apple pipe, everything will be relaxed and chill, but that's not the case at every backstage experience. And it ends up being like, I I got soured on it like a long time ago and and really stopped doing it. But since I stopped doing it, I've set up a lot of D's with, you know, like even recently I set up a friend of mine out east in Quebec with uh ASAP Rocky. I had a friend reach out and say, Hey, ASAP's in Montreal, he's touring. I was like, Oh, fucking, I got a buddy who's got the gas, you know. I'm I bet he'll be stoked to you know go to a show with his wife and fucking, I didn't even realize ASAP Rocky was married to Rihanna or any of that. But you know, you just you know, you just get get get friends that have if you've got great product and you want to turn on a comedian or someone that's kind of inspired you, and I'm always happy to uh to help people out like that and link people up like that. And yeah, I almost forgot about that, D. That's pretty wild how long ago that was.

SPEAKER_09 2:46:24

I missed that about rock and roll. I mean, because again, with the hemp tour, we were I was able to tour with uh Primus Fishbone. Uh then I we did major tours like Lollapalooza and um uh horde tour, which is Horizons of Ruck Development Everywhere, which is a long that was in the 90s, dude. Yeah, you know, that was Blues Traveler and Almond Brothers and all that. And yeah, we I used to have well, I still have I have an all access, which has a planet on it, and I used to flash that thing everywhere, and they just let me write in all the time and be side stage watching shows, hanging out.

SPEAKER_06 2:47:01

It's like it's that psychology, bro. Do you realize in the 90s I went to a fish show and I bought a clear like thing to go around my neck with a lanyard, and I put a fake backstage pass in there, and basically, I never went backstage, but it let me get onto the floor and sit in the front row for the entire show. And it was like completely just false. Like a complete it's psychology, man, at these concerts.

SPEAKER_09 2:47:28

But also once you're when you're on a tour, right? They just see your face every day. So you just kind of get used to each other.

SPEAKER_02 2:47:34

Hey, man, you need a drink, you need some water, here's a bottle of water. Oh, thanks, man. Hey, cool. Thanks, you know.

SPEAKER_09 2:47:40

You just play fam and you roll with it. Next thing you know, every world's your oyster. But weed and and and touring, I mean, go hand in hand. I mean, I I met more people on the bus who was the the tech for one of the bands, and he was the weed dealer. So, you know, I'd find myself sitting across from, you know, like Dave Matthews, you know, of Dave Matthews band. Hey, what's gonna hey, what's going on? You know, because you're all sitting there waiting for the weed dealer, right? You know, that's back in the okay, well, we're all here. Uh hey, what we got, what we were looking at, you know, and then divvy it up and you know, get it on. But yeah, I mean, when I was on Primus Tour, l less every night would just say, ladies and gentlemen, if you have any drugs, please feel free to throw them on the stage. And people would just throw their drugs. Yeah. And every night, they would literally grab all the drugs, and then after the show, we'd sit around in a little pool, and he'd be like, Okay, we got mushrooms. Who wants some mushrooms? I mean, okay, here's what all this weed looks too good. I'm keeping that one. And then he pass it all the way around. So that was Primus had the best, best really thing for doing that, because otherwise, you were always reliant on you know, you're you're trying to find your drugs. So Les figured out early on, which I thought was brilliant, to say, hey, throw your weed on. If anybody has any weed, feel free to uh donate it or throw it to us. And yeah, at the end of every show, there was always weed, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_06 2:49:09

So uh if you're a band, bands never have a hard time getting weed. This is a band thing. There's always people who grow weed and have weed that want to share with musicians that have inspired them.

SPEAKER_09 2:49:21

Yeah, my friend Peanut and M311, good friends of mine from way back in the day. He comes through. Hey, ATN, you know, okay, what's up, nut? So, you know, it's it's it's rock and roll, has to have cannabis.

SPEAKER_06 2:49:34

It's still happening, even though they could just send someone into a dispensary and buy all legal shit. It's still absolutely happening. Where bands are just like, ah, I just like it to be delivered to me. I'd like it to come from the grower, you know. And so that's uh and here in Canada, as long as you keep it under an ounce, it's totally legal to give away an ounce of weed. Just give it to them, no problem.

SPEAKER_09 2:49:59

You can do that in California too. You can gift up to an ounce of weed, so that's the big thing everybody loves around Christmas time, you know. Merry Christmas, right?

SPEAKER_04 2:50:11

Merry Christmas indeed.

SPEAKER_09 2:50:13

Well, that's the grift of green, right? Who who whoever is upset over being gifted cannabis, right?

SPEAKER_06 2:50:20

Dude, I love giving hash away, absolutely love it. It's one of my favorite things. When I left Colorado, I I gave away so much, dude. I gave, I didn't tell you, Darren, but I was I will I go to this motorcycle rental shop, and this kid's six foot six, has got long red hair, a long red beard. I'm like, Oh, hey, dude, what's your name? He's like, they call me Gingy. I'm like, oh shit. I think I talked to you on the phone a couple days ago. He's like, Yeah, that would have been me. And so I'm like, all right, and we're talking and kind of kind of you know, getting the talking about the bike, and I give him my ID and he's at the counter and he's like he's like, dude, he whispers, he's like, dude, are you bubble man? And I'm like, fucking like, what the fuck? I'm like, yeah, dude, I am actually. And he's like, he's like, bro, I'm autistic, I'm such a huge dabber. This guy like dabs an outrageous amount. So I was like, Oh, well, fuck here, dude. Here's a bubble man jar. Get, you know, kicked him a jar. Uh, and then the next day when I went back to return the bike, I I kicked him, I gave him full melt, I gave him three different jars of Bubble Man brand rosin. Uh, he was a very, very happy camper. And I think I'm gonna get a very good deal the next time I go to the motorcycle shop and uh rent a bike from him because that's that'll be my spot now. It's uh I can jump on an electric bike or scooter, and in 16 minutes, I can go from where I stay in downtown Denver, and this is on trail, so I'm avoiding all the big over, you know, view highways and stuff. It would be nine minutes if I went on the highway, but I go on the trails because you don't want to take one of those scooters on the highway, uh, the bike anyway. So, yeah, 16 minutes, drive this little electric bike that barely goes, you know, 20 kilometers an hour to the fucking motorcycle shop, park it out front, rent an XRS 900 Yamaha, boot off to fucking Evergreen and Boulder and Red Rocks and all these cool spots, come back a day later to return it. And because they're so kind of in an industrial area, my fucking electric bike is just sitting right out in front of their place. So I just hit it with the hit it with the QR code, jump on that, and 16 minutes later I'm back downtown at my spot. Awesome. Nice, fucking awesome, dude. Yeah, it's really cool, man. Um who'd have thought that one day I'd be smoking joints in the US.

SPEAKER_00 2:52:36

Well, that's what I'm talking about, the recognition in the middle of nowhere. It's happened so many times. It's some of these guys, some of these guys that are like like being inspired by us in the old days and that, like in the beginnings, they're they're like, they're showing me stuff, they're bringing me stuff that is like holy shit, this is nice stuff. Because these guys are doing it on levels that are perfect, they're perfectionists at what they're doing, they're like those niche guys out of the out of a million, it's the he's the one, and man, gifting me the the rosins and all that, and the hashes and stuff was just like man, thank you so much, buddy. Like, really good dude. That's that Van Span guy, that one. You're muted, Van Span, yeah. Yeah, that's that was that was him. Johnny called me up and said, Yeah, this guy wants to meet you. He's one of those guys that likes watching our show and everything like that. He makes some good hash. And I was like, Oh, cool. So I met him, and he was just like he was like starstruck and fucking giving me so much stuff and everything like that. And I mean fucking top quality fucking rosin of all the way. And uh we've been friends ever since. Really good dude, man, a perfectionist. Like he's the kind of guy that living at home, not having any bills, doing anything, and working at say a restaurant of Timmy's or McDonald's or some some of these simple places that are easy to get worked, but are good for your credit and all that when you're young. And this guy saved up like a couple hundred thousand dollars in his bank account because of all those years of working and staying at home and everything, and you can do it. He is he is an absolute perfectionist on every aspect of his life, and I'm I was very impressed. Yeah, that's awesome.

SPEAKER_06 2:54:39

I don't know if I ever met him. Maybe I have. We talked about him yesterday because he's he's helping my buddy who's uh in the whack, um, do some work, and uh yeah, he was it was very lovely work. I got nothing but good things to say about that guy. Nice, nice. Yeah, I'm not sure I can't picture his face. I feel like I must have met him before, but um, dude, so many people, so many people, and so many names. And if you choose a name, then it's like you gotta know that name with that face, but then there's a real name too. And some people have had like five of these not real names. Like, I've just been Bubble Man forever. The lot before I was Bubble Man, I was Dutch Tripper. And listen to how funny this is. I chose the name Dutch Tripper to go on. It was actually it was my email. I wasn't even known as it. It was my email before I had the Fresh Heddies email. I had the email Dutch Tripper at hotmail.com. And I remember Mila thinking this had something to do with her. And in reality, it was my two cats it was Dutch and Tripper that I had in the 90s. And so I just it's kind of like when they when they said to about Sam that he was the, you know, oh, it's Sam Selejny. He's a DEA agent or he's a secret agent. It's like, and then Diana's like, Selejny was just his nickname backwards, jingles. That's Sam used to be called. Jingles and Selegny is just jingles backwards. And it's like, you know, I saw uh uh there's a new video of Mila bashing me online. Some blue-haired chick is interviewing Mila and she's like telling a story of me being at an event. I don't, I didn't watch it because I didn't want to be like affected by it, but like a hundred people sent it to me and said, You gotta, you know, this is what she's basically saying that you went on stage to collect an award and didn't say thank you. And then there's just like all these people just canceling me in the comment section, and I'm like, I don't enter awards, I don't do awards ever. You you guys know I don't enter competitions, I've never entered a competition, so I'm not sure how the hell I ended up on stage with Mila not saying sorry, but I apologize, Mila, if that truly happened. I think it might have happened to someone else, though, because uh, I don't know, I'm Canadian. I'm always thankful and I'm always sorry. It's just a fact. Say that shit 50 times a day. It's nothing for us to be thankful and grateful. Plus, I have no problem giving their people their their fucking flowers. I've given Mila her flowers in regards to what she did, but I've exposed the the things that she didn't do that she claimed she did. I I exposed the fact that Eldon created the bags, I exposed the fact that Mark Rose manufactured and named the bags, you know. Like I've had a long sort of relationship with Mila over the years, and a lot of people don't know how terribly she treated me uh and made me feel very unwelcome in Amsterdam for probably a solid decade. And I not just Amsterdam, because maybe I'd be writing an article for my friend in London and he'd get a call from Mila and get screamed at for 30 minutes on the phone because she was publishing an article from the guy who stole her bags, would be the very words that she used. Indeed, the bags weren't even invented by her or named by her or manufactured by her, but there it is. And the stories go deeper and deeper. Hopefully, we won't have to go too much deeper. I got a bunch more myself. We'll see how many more uh videos she wants to make uh talking about things that didn't happen. Plus, wouldn't there be a hundred videos of that? Like if there was like an award ceremony and I was like up on stage like being rude, wouldn't there be videos of that? Seems like we've had cameras for a long time. Maybe it's just me. Yeah, you know, cameras don't everybody sorry, I was just Dole Branch just wrote Reinhardt was a legend in Mendoza, so we always knew she did not invent it. Yes, Reinhardt was a legend, and I will say the bags, which were invented by Eldon, were invented based on Reinhardt's machine, which probably she wasn't supposed to be showing anyone because she had signed a little contract with him, and that's why he wanted to sue her. That's why he sued me and sued Jason from payload bags and Lucy Extractor and all these other people. Reinhardt was actually awesome. I learned a lot from him. Uh, I didn't really enjoy being in the lawsuit or spending the money uh or finding out that his machine was responsible for the bags and then paying him a bunch of money, but it was just the right thing to do. And uh, you know, the right thing to do isn't always super enjoyable and fun. Uh, but I can sit in the world of water extraction and know that the place that I had in it has been a good place. And maybe it didn't start out the best and it was a bit bumpy, but I made up for it and I paid the people who were supposed to be paid, and more importantly, I got bags out to thousands of people and taught, you know, a huge chunk of the world how to make bubble hash. And so when I go to the stores nowadays, do you know how long it took? In Holland, maybe they still call it ice wax, but everywhere I go, including Colorado, it's called bubble hash. I don't see it called solventless, I don't see it called ice wax, I don't see it, and that took a long, long, long time for bubble hash to get to the point where that's what it is on all the dispensary menus. So, and those that's the people who decide that, not me or Nickete or Matt Rise or anyone else. And in fact, for the longest time, ice wax was more hashtags on Instagram, solventless, and it may stere very well still be like that. Those those terms, icewax and solventless, there were a time where they were just incredibly, incredibly popular terms, more popular than the term bubble hash by all means. Nowadays, I don't know if that's the same. I know when I go into dispensaries, I see neither solventless nor uh well, you might see a sign for solventless, but it won't be it, it'll be a variety of things that it's responsible for. Whereas bubble hash is a very specific thing. Um, what do you have all of that stuff on your menu as at Tien?

SPEAKER_09 3:00:43

Bubble comes by bubble, yeah. As well as uh rosin, resin, uh, you know, because uh everybody's distinctions. Yeah, yep, yep. And then uh, you know, we have granulated uh um water product as well, so you know, but you know, that's just uh granulated hash. We do it.

SPEAKER_06 3:01:06

We sell four gram buckets.

SPEAKER_09 3:01:08

Yeah, back in the day, uh yeah, people they had or would call things by deities, and that caused some problems. Um somebody was doing like loose granules, and they were calling it um uh what was it? Well, there was Ganesh wafers and the Shiva crystals, that's what it was. And we got picketed by uh a bunch of um people from India because of you know, they were protesting the use of the how dare you associate Shiva with his cannabis right, right, right Ganesh with hash, right? Shame on us, right? Anyway, uh literally they came out and they protested, they had signs, they rolled up front, and we were like, we don't make this, we just sell it, take it to the maker, you know what I'm saying? I mean, because these people were who made it were Hindu, so you know they named it themselves, but these people were absolutely livid that that was the case. So, you know, you can't win for trying sometimes, it's just really funny. Oh, wow, look at that. Did you get that when you were in India?

SPEAKER_06 3:02:19

Yes, boom, Shankara, Shankara Mahadev. That's badass. That's pretty crazy, dude. It's got some dust on it, though. I need to take care of it and be more respectful of Lord Shiva. But it is badass, dude. This is badass front and back. Imagine when they're carving this, they're like, oh no, let's just put a back on it, too. Well, you could just put it up against the wall. No, no, I'll spend 30 hours doing the back, you know, no problem. That looks like Dutch. Is that a main coon?

SPEAKER_00 3:02:50

No, it's not a main coon. No, just a free, just a free kitty. I see the that I Charlie was Charlie Loss of 18 years. That might be a main coon, dude.

SPEAKER_06 3:03:02

It looks like one.

SPEAKER_02 3:03:04

Nah, it's not too coonish, but it's a coon.

SPEAKER_06 3:03:07

Well, I when my cat Dutch looked exactly like that when it was a kitten, and he was a full-blown main coon. I'm telling you, same colors and everything.

SPEAKER_09 3:03:16

Yeah, I dated somebody who had a full-blown main coon, and I was very intimidated having that cat in my house. Dude, no shit.

SPEAKER_04 3:03:23

This thing was fucking I've shown big as a dog.

SPEAKER_06 3:03:26

You're not used to cats as big as a dog. I've shown Dutch a ton of times, but he looked identical to that, Darren.

SPEAKER_09 3:03:32

Look at oh, he's got his winner fur on too. Beauty. How much did he weigh?

SPEAKER_06 3:03:38

Like 20 plus pounds.

SPEAKER_09 3:03:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 3:03:42

Murderous cat, but he looked identical to that.

SPEAKER_09 3:03:45

Hunter Hunter natural.

SPEAKER_06 3:03:48

He'd bring baby birds home right out of the nests. He'd be so happy about it. I'd be like, You bastard. Did you did I tell you what happened to my cat, by the way, you guys? No, it fell out of a 50-foot tree on a 50-foot cliff, Darren. So it fell a hundred feet onto rocks. And I just saw her walk by. Yeah. Cats are gangster.

SPEAKER_09 3:04:14

Yeah, they can somehow uh deal away with terminal velocity, which is pretty much an amazing instinct.

SPEAKER_06 3:04:26

For real. It's unbelievable that anyone, that any creature feet and survived.

SPEAKER_09 3:04:31

Wow.

SPEAKER_06 3:04:32

I mean, maybe a squirrel, you know, it's like, okay, yeah, maybe a squirrel might survive that, but like a like a big cat. I was just like, she walked in so fucked up though. When she came into the house, she was kind of making sounds. She hurt her lung. She got some contusions on her lung, but she broke no bones, no blood in any parts of her body where it didn't belong. Um, yeah, it was it was a it was as good as it could be for as bad as it was. I would say that. It was as good as it could be for as bad as it was. Unbelievable.

unknown 3:05:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 3:05:07

When did you when did you get that kitten there, Darren?

SPEAKER_00 3:05:11

Um about a month ago. I got a little Manx coming too, a little ginger Manx. And they're fucking crazy too. But this little cat's a nut. He's fucking he's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_09 3:05:23

Ginger cats are known to be nuts, period. And so, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:05:27

Well, the Manx ginger as well, it's gonna be different. He's even even more so fucking a little crazier. It's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_07 3:05:36

Oh, yeah. Well, I'm getting a cougar.

SPEAKER_00 3:05:40

I'd like a mancoon, but fuck my dog. It's one of those mancoons is like like three times the weight of my dogs. I know, like Joe, he weighs like six pounds, seven.

SPEAKER_06 3:05:54

If you get a kitten main coon, he'll grow up with your dogs and and he'll protect dogs like that.

SPEAKER_00 3:06:00

Yeah, for sure. But I had Charlie for 18 years, this ginger one I had, and everybody loved him. He was a cool kitty, and he passed, buried in the backyard there.

SPEAKER_06 3:06:14

Yeah, we lost the cat recently. Sakura, our little gray cat, 20. Well, in the last couple years, she was 20 though. So we were, you know, she lived a great life. She never went to the vet, she never got sick, she never got hit, she never had trauma. She just lived a life. She was slick as fuck, she was like a ninja, nothing ever hurt her, nothing ever tried to get her. And uh, yeah, 20 years of never taking her to a vet, never getting a shot, never fucking doing anything except giving her a little food and a little water and a bowl. She was truly a roommate who took care of her own business. She didn't even shit in the house ever. She just we had like the kitty little robot thing. She just was she had I never found where she shit. Still to this day.

SPEAKER_00 3:06:57

Perfect kitty.

SPEAKER_06 3:06:58

Yeah, holy shit, dude. Can you imagine? I think Bingo says he's a dog guy, not a cat guy, but I will tell you that if you don't if and it's unfortunate for those who are allergic for to either or, but it is not dogs or cats, it's dogs and cats. Just remember that it's dogs and cats, it's never dogs or cats. And when you have dogs and cats, you have the fucking best of both worlds because you got these little unconditional bastards that just love you unconditionally, but then you got this kind of gangster cat that you kind of have to earn their respect. And so you it's just they're different. And to me, having both of them was exceptional. Dogs are amazing, but cats won't tell the police where your drugs are. It's good to have a relationship with both, with both, in my opinion. Yeah, yeah. I love them both. Yeah, of course. And it's they're different, right? You know what I mean? Like the cat's probably not running home and jumping on your lap the second you get home.

SPEAKER_00 3:08:00

Like the way you know what he does, dude. Every time I feed him, he comes up and jumps on me and cleans himself up and has a nap. He's the cat's really affectionate, actually. That's just a little kitten, and he comes up, came up last night, woke me up with a little nose rub on my face just to say hi and snuggle up to me and on my pillow and fucking go to bed. Like, he's a good, he's a good kitty. I like him. I like his his everything about him right now.

SPEAKER_06 3:08:26

So far, aren't you glad you're not allergic to him? Bingo said, My eyes swell shut.

SPEAKER_00 3:08:32

Oh my god, poor bucking guy.

SPEAKER_06 3:08:34

Imagine he just comes over and rubs his face on your eye, and you're allergic to like.

SPEAKER_00 3:08:40

But my dogs, I can have them on my lap 24-7 if I let them. Yeah, of course.

SPEAKER_09 3:08:47

Right, and it's also like cats know when you're allergic. Oh, well, then I have to rub on you and get you out of my way.

SPEAKER_00 3:08:53

Oh my god. Yeah, cats are fucking ignorant little pricks, dude. Fucking snobs, you know, won't even look at you sometimes, right? Type thing when you're calling them.

SPEAKER_04 3:09:06

Oh, yeah, they're not definitely not looking or coming to you when you're calling them, but there's something awesome about that.

SPEAKER_00 3:09:12

I take those little those little temptation treats and this little plastic thing. I've done this to all my cats when I first get them, is I give it a shake and I say their name, and then I feed them a couple of those treats.

SPEAKER_01 3:09:28

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 3:09:28

And right now, if I do do that, I shake that little thing, the little fucker is running to me right now.

SPEAKER_06 3:09:36

Pavlovian response. What's that? That's the that's the psychologist who does what you're talking about right now. Did it with dogs, got their mouths to water with the fucking with the sound. Yeah, it's uh yeah, no, it's a big thing for sure. Listen, dogs are like moms and loving and nurturing and awesome, and dads are like cats, sometimes a little scary, sometimes a little distant.

SPEAKER_01 3:10:04

I can see it, yeah. I see it.

SPEAKER_06 3:10:08

That's why you need cats and dogs, man.

SPEAKER_08 3:10:11

Indifferent to everything, indifferent to everything, exactly.

SPEAKER_06 3:10:17

Pavlovian despair, Pavlov's dogs. There it is, Pavlov's dogs. I uh I think I'm gonna cut it short here soon, guys. I don't have another 48 minutes in me. I got a bunch of stuff to do in the garden, but I want to thank you guys for fucking hanging out and coming in today and spending a really nice mellow hash church. I've needed a hash church like this for a long time. I got a little nervous when the hash church episode got taken down last week. I was like, whoa, is this gonna be a thing? I really hope it's not gonna be a thing.

SPEAKER_08 3:10:49

What happened? What happened?

SPEAKER_06 3:10:50

Uh, when Colin shared her website, YouTube's AI and people for whatever reason thought that all those flowers were like for sale and that we were promoting the sale of illegal substances. And so they just instead of me getting to take that part of the show out, they took the whole show off the air. So I believe it's still on podcast, it's still, you can still listen to it on all the podcasts, it's just not on YouTube. And I might, Etienne, go through the show, blank out the part where he shows that page. So we lose only like five minutes, but we just have to be careful in regards to sharing websites. I think I'm done with it. I don't think I'm gonna do that too much. We can share medical, anything Dr. Mark shares has always been fine.

SPEAKER_09 3:11:34

Um, I'm also gonna talk about those are like pub pub, you know, PubMed and stuff like that. So those are public domain things.

SPEAKER_06 3:11:41

So I think what we're gonna do is um eventually get all the hash churches put up on a site where if YouTube takes them down, it won't matter. They'll still be accessible to people. And what I mean by accessible is where we have hash bible.org, um, the new website. I don't know if I told you about this, Darren, but hash church is a searchable, like cued, permanent um site now. It's all been transcribed. You can you can go to hash bible.org and ask a question and it'll bring you up the links. The links are gonna bring you up to YouTube. I want to get the videos put where uh in a place where the links will go to like these videos, not on YouTube. So anytime you want to use it as a database, I don't need it to forward to YouTube anymore. It can be forwarded to wherever I put all the hash church episodes. So I'm gonna talk to uh James and Bike about that and see if we can't figure out getting something like that done. Um, I don't know, James SF about membership pauses. I really am not sure how that works or whatnot. But uh yeah, I'm still trying to get my monetization back so I can have memberships. Uh in the meantime, uh yeah, it's unfortunate and I really don't like it. But um, this is this is the this is what you're at the risk of, you know, YouTube's POS, like their TOS, sorry, the terms of service that they have. I got we got to follow them to the best that we can. I know POS, little Freudian slip there, little piece of shit, or maybe it was a point of sale, who knows? Either way, um, I want to thank Puffco for always keeping us laced and uh, you know, doing such a great job at at bringing dabbing to the masses. Shout out to the press club. I've got press club bags myself now in I think three or four of the Bubble Man labs. We're actually quite loving them. Jeff's been super, super kind and generous. And when you buy more, you get a better price. And so we're buying for multiple states right now. So, shout out to those guys for lacing us up and you know, selling us the good product. Um, shout out to Bubble Bags, shout out to Grandmaster LEDs, shout out to Thomas. I haven't seen you in a while, Thomas. I'm gonna have to give you a call maybe later today. Big thanks to D420K.

SPEAKER_06 3:14:41
