(00:02):
I'm Brandon. And I'm.
Jesse we're cannabis school having cannabis infused
conversations with everyday people, cannabis companies,
celebrities and your mom. Welcome to the sesh.
Welcome back. Today we're doing just a sesh.
Jessie's chilling at home. I'm chilling at home in the
studio and I am rocking the bombmad loud.
(00:26):
Code below. If you guys don't already know,
these are like our favorite fucking devices for.
Consequences they really are. And they're under 200 bucks.
They're fantastic so. Yeah, I mean, and I like Doctor
Dabber, but I'll tell you man, this has been like it.
It really has been a total game changer, man.
(00:49):
It's so easy to clean like the most easy out of any any rig
that I've ever had. I I just really like it.
I love the affordability, but I loved it as I just like it.
I just really like it and it's I'm using my look at that.
It just goes like this much. I'm the mystery.
(01:10):
Oh no, there it is. I'm using plus, yeah.
An amazing device by Storson Bekel.
I think we'll actually have a code for that below in the show
notes as well for stores and Bekel.
Yeah, guys, go check it out. I know that they've got a new
device coming out pretty soon. Brandon rocks.
The VC, it's out. The VC, yeah, it's looks like a
(01:33):
tinier version of the Venti, actually.
Oh that's cool because you know one thing I really like about my
mighty is that it is still compact enough, but it doesn't
hit like the venti that is trulysuper cool.
So it's probably priced better too for the individual user.
But if it's like got the batteryof a crafty, that's what I'm
(01:55):
down with. Yeah, I wondered what the
battery life on the VZ is like in comparison, because the
Mighty and Venti, I feel like they're pretty sixes on battery,
like they're both, they lost 8 sessions or so, so good amount,
which is pretty nice. And you said you're rocking
Cheetah. Pit or cougar piss?
Cougar piss and OG diesel. Yeah, OG Diesel, Colorado grow
(02:18):
and Cougar piss is over from ourfriends over at Beehive.
Oh, yeah, go by there. You know, I, I was just talking
about it just a few days ago andI'm like, man, if you're, if
you're from out of state and you're like, man, I'd really
like to go to a dispensary. Speaking, that's the That's
close. Smoking today is out of state.
(02:39):
Out of. State's the brand.
It's Orange Block, Cherry or or a BlackBerry.
Is it? Is it got a lot of fruity notes?
Yeah, it has a lot of cherry, a lot of like fruity tones in
there. Oh I love a good cherry type
strain. That's it's always really good.
Really. Yeah, not overly heady a lot.
I mean, I have pressure because it's so weird to wear headphones
(03:01):
now, but for these meetings likeit's the time that we do it so.
But aside from the headphones, Ihonestly don't feel like
pressure. Aside from that, it's just light
tingling in my cheeks. Nothing major.
It's pretty. No, that's cool.
Yeah. The one mine, it hits all here.
The combination of both of them comes here and it's kind of
(03:21):
pulling, really puts me in a good mood.
I was kind of burned out today. Work was long and I just was.
Yeah, it really has. But, you know, it's good.
It's good because, you know, I'm, I'm happy to have the work
and I'm happy to finally kind ofbe providing I'm, I'm barely
scraping by still. And I'm not, I'm not upset by
(03:42):
it. I'm just like, yeah, you know
what? There's always something else
that I can do. And that's kind of the time we
live in right now, man. People just really need to
depend upon one another too, man.
I've, I've had so many people just help me for no reason
whatsoever other than just wanting to be really nice to me.
And yeah, so I've been doing a lot of that lately too.
Like I've been helping our friend out, Jordan, like
(04:04):
literally he's just like, oh, dude, I'll cut you a Commission.
I was like, don't worry, take care of yourself.
I got you. You know, it takes like 5-10
minutes of my day and then I'm back to it.
But you know, it's, it's thinking about that like I
could, I could easily just tell him like, this is what you're
going to pay me all the time. And I'd be just in doing that.
(04:25):
But I just kept thinking about it.
I'm like, yeah, but that's, that's truly not living the way
that you want to live. You know, just just help people
because you can. And, and good fortune has come
because of that, you know, been helping them for a while and
now, you know, a little bit comes here and there.
And that's why I'm thinking like, man, it's that that
friendship economy that is, is really going to take that next
(04:47):
leap. You know, kind of like, you
know, some settlers that came into some random land and
they're like, you're white, I'm white.
Let's not kill each other. Let's let's build, you know, log
homes. And they do that and you're
like, cool. Yeah.
Man, good strain, good mix. Yeah, dude, it's a good mix.
Did you see? I thought it was really
(05:07):
interesting Trump's endorsing CBD for elderly people now.
Yeah, well, if you remember in his election campaign, they were
asking, you know, what do you think about cannabis?
And he's like, it's very good stuff, very good.
I promote it. I have some friends, good
friends. They're some of my best friends.
You've you're not as good at friends with them as I am.
(05:29):
That's probably exactly what he said.
But I mean, you know, pretty much it was just like he, I
mean, it's a rock and a hard place.
I mean, there's just too many superstitious old people that
are still in Congress that are not for it.
And it's them that is the issue.Like you got a lot of young
(05:49):
congressmen, a lot of senators that are very for it.
ATF I'm sure it's just like thisis bullshit but.
I, I'm very curious, maybe you can enlighten me on your
perspective on this. So around that, like there's a
lot of people in our Congress, alot of our Senate, a lot of that
who are still butting heads against it.
(06:10):
And I wonder because I feel likeso many of those actual people
have been in discussions and rooms where lots of data has
been shared, lots of informationon CID, on cannabis, that I, I
really wonder if it's fear of the medicine anymore or if
(06:33):
there's something more behind it.
Because like when I sat down andhad a real conversation with my
grandma, she's old, she was mid 80s.
But when I had like data and information that was able to
change and shape the way that she thinks around cannabis
versus where she came from before.
(06:54):
And I, I feel like these senators, congressmen have had
endless amounts of data and information.
Do you still feel like it's, it's mostly a fear from the
unknown around the medication? Or do you think there's
something more to that? I think it what it is, is it's
something that you already stated.
You know, if we were to talk to your grandma 15 years ago,
(07:15):
different conversation. I don't think it would have been
fruitful for her to be able to even try it because she would
have been. I don't know.
And it's taking it to where you're at in your current
situation, Right. Your grandmother was in horrible
agony on lots of pain medication.
Yeah. And I mean just, and, and it
(07:36):
wasn't good for her, right? It was robbing her of, and she
didn't like the feel. But those types of individuals
who are in there, I mean, all ofthem, they, they don't exist in
our world. They exist in the halls of
whatever building they're in. Their reality is the meetings of
raising funds and keeping policies to get kickbacks.
(08:01):
Like that's what they've turned into.
And I think a lot of that, the biggest issue on it is just they
would have to actually a lot of them would have to experience
based upon something drastic. And I think it's just a closed
mindedness. If it was made federally legal,
well then that would be really difficult for any of them not to
(08:25):
because then I think it would bea point of discussion, but it
wouldn't last very long. I just because of the simple
fact, I don't think it's becauseof medicine.
It's just the perception and it's so hard.
I mean, you know, I was a. Good percentage of those who
drink within that Senator Congress who are very against.
I don't think it has anything todo with like alcohol I.
(08:46):
Don't think it's tied to it, I'mjust very curious if they
themselves are partakers of 1 substance but not OK with.
That guarantee, guarantee. Where my perspective is going
with that? Well, I mean it, everything is
OK behind closed doors, right? But as far as their perception,
(09:08):
because their perception is whatkeeps them in a job or whatever
it is. I think of those a lot like, you
know, old school YouTube famous people, you know, honestly,
that's like, it's like, oh, and Senator PewDiePie has the floor.
I would like to, you know, and you're like, no.
(09:28):
Because they're just trying to get their audience and trying to
keep their audience and they're just.
Trying to keep monetized dude. Make sure to subscribe and and.
Yeah, subscribe and follow because I'll be running next
month. Yeah, totally.
It is. It's, it's so that way because
it's all it is. They're just, they're just going
outgoing. What if?
(09:50):
That's how it was run, was all our senators and and congressmen
had to be. Like an Idiocracy.
Like social media stars. And if they were not popular,
people didn't like him. It was just like next.
Well, I mean, it will be like that.
Like hopefully we go to the Running Man.
You ever seen the Running Man with Arnold Schwarzenegger?
(10:11):
Oh, dude, it's this crazy story about this guy.
Who? I don't know, I guess he was
like a cop or something. It's in the future, you know,
where it's all everybody's goingto die like 1/2 we have.
Schwarzenegger's movies. I feel like you're in the
future. You got to die.
Oh, yeah, he totally. Because, I mean, come on, what
else is he going to be as a hero?
And so he he goes and he's gone.He's in prison.
(10:32):
He's just like, fuck you, you'rein prison.
He's like, all right, So he goesto prison.
He's Jacks. Everybody's like, please take my
take my apples. And then he gets an opportunity
to get out. And what you do is you you get
to be able to volunteer to be inthe game called the running man.
And what they do is they take these inmates and they shoot
(10:53):
them into this like whole wasteland area of the United
States. We'll call it.
No, I won't because I I might offend something.
So we'll call it rando place USA.
OK, was. Like southern Utah?
Yeah. Yeah, there you go.
Parts of it. Yeah, definitely.
Middle of Buffett, Nevada. Yeah, seriously, Death Valley,
(11:15):
you know what happened? I was, I was right in the middle
of that and I totally lost my train of.
Thought running man. Oh yeah, running man.
So thank you. And don't think me think orange
block Berry. Different.
Your mine's super sharp and let's think cougar piss.
That's best beeline, isn't it? Beeline.
Or buzz. Or buzz.
(11:37):
Either one. Check those guys out.
I think they're the same family,just one's a higher quality
margin something, yeah. The OG is good because it kind
of lifts you up because I remember that this cheetah
cougar piss can make you really giggly.
Yeah, it's a happy strain. Yeah, it's a really good one.
Yeah. But so they launched these.
He gets launched into this game.And if you survive the game,
(12:00):
then you get, and there's all these like crazy dudes, like a
guy with chainsaws, I think he juggles them or something.
And another guy would like flamethrower and Arnold
Schwarzenegger goes here, he gotthe light and he throws the the,
you know something. Yeah, but it you, if you win,
you get your freedom. Kind of like, right?
Yeah, there was. There was this crazy one early
(12:26):
2000s where it's about, it's kind of like in the whole like
premise of like the Blair Witch Project, you know, not the
premise, but the mood where it'slike, you know, somebody
following the camera and they'regoing like this the whole time.
You're like. I hate those these the worst
movie cuts. Yeah, I do, because you got to
take Dramamine just. Well, no, you don't.
(12:46):
You just got to smoke your favorite strain, preferably an
indica, so you don't get motion sickness.
But yeah, there was a movie where this woman's, like,
pregnant and she has a pistol. And it's like something where
you can win a lottery and you have to eliminate all these
other people before the next one.
And like the main character is apregnant woman and she's, I
(13:06):
think she's the same woman that was in Silence of the Lambs.
She was in the pit. I haven't seen that in so long.
Oh man, I just remember everything.
So the random things. Apparently I had to take my
insurance exam three times. But you passed, so that's what.
Yeah, I passed, yeah, but dude, I mean, I'm just like, that
movie seemed long. Yeah, but the Running Man is
(13:30):
really cool because it's it's kind of funny because it's like
this is the future where they even got like a game show host,
the guy who used to host the Family Feud in the 70s and like,
he's the announcer and stuff like that.
And Arnold Witz out of it, you know?
And I mean, if, if it's in the 80s, guys, if you haven't seen
it right now and I'm ruining it for you, fucking go see it.
But now, forever. He like, kills.
(13:52):
He kills the guy, puts him in the pod where he got launched
into the arena. He's like, yeah, I'm going to
send you off, whatever your nameis.
And then they he goes flying offand he's just like you watch
the. Games.
I couldn't get into it. I tried to.
I just couldn't get into. It yeah, man, I I watched the
first couple and then Addie wanted to watch him, so we went
(14:15):
back and we watched it and it was just like, man, we we just
finished it. But it was it was good.
But God damn, I just think aboutthose types of games, that type
of a reality. I mean, I'm sure maybe around
the world there is something like that, who knows, But.
You see like a movie called The Deer Hunter in the 80s with
(14:37):
Christopher Walken and he's likeplaying Russian roulette back in
like Cambodia or something like that because he couldn't handle
it back in the States or something and goes back there.
He's just like, and a lot of guys did that, you know, but it
was just like seeing spinning the gun.
Oh, I'm going to shoot move myself.
(14:57):
And he keeps click and then he puts it down and you win a bunch
of money, you're competing against another guy and this
whole time he's like winning andthese other guys are like Bam.
Then they just clear the dude and another guy sits down going
do it. Jeez.
And then finally he gets killed.They like wrapped, it's like
really tight headband around their head and lots of like
(15:20):
padding. So they don't go, the blood
doesn't go spraying everywhere. Wow.
Yeah. They're more concerned about the
cleanliness than, you know, somebody dying in front of you,
you know? That's intense.
I've not seen it that. Is intense.
That's a good dude. The 70s and 80s had crazy ass
movies. Crazy.
Do you see Scarface? That's fucked up.
(15:41):
I haven't. I haven't.
Or or the Godfather I've heard. Amazing things about Godfather
I've still. Yeah, one and two don't see 33
is horrible. It's so bad.
It's. Like the Home Alone movies?
Yeah, like the first one, you'relike, OK, yeah, all right.
The. Second one was the next one, it
was fine. And then?
(16:02):
The third one's a whole new kid.You're like what the fuck?
Yeah, I know. I hate when they do that.
I hate you like, like the Witcher, dude, The Witcher on on
Netflix. Like Henry Cavill was Geralt and
then all of a sudden they switchthem out.
Oh, they totally did. It's out right now.
Nobody's watching. Emily and I just were going to
go start it over again because we never really got through it.
(16:24):
But then she had heard that theywere switching carrots and she
looked it up and it's because ofcreative differences.
He didn't like the direction that they were going.
They weren't, no. Because they weren't sticking to
cannon. And that's the thing that the
gamers and the fans of the bookswere like, as long as you stick
to that. And that's why everybody was
upset when he took the part because they're like, no,
(16:45):
Superman can't play Geralt. And he's like, I'm a big fan of
it. I've read all the books, I've
played all the games. I've played The Witcher 3 like
multiple times through. He goes trust.
Me. He's the guy.
And then Superman, yeah. You guys played the the Man of
Steel and Batman versus Superman.
He was in those in Justice League and he, yeah, dude, he
(17:07):
was like. I like him.
He did a bunch of oh, he was. I thought he played it very
well. Yeah, well, the cool thing is
like the first season is just like a lot of the first book,
which is called The Last Kiss, and it's really, really good.
And he got the closest to Geraltin the game, but the new guy
(17:27):
just it it's not. How do you switch the main
character midway through? And he just told him he's well,
they, they had their agenda, what they wanted to do.
They wanted to change everythingabout it.
Like Siri can become a Witcher. But in that in the Canon, only
men can do it because they go through this horrible trial.
(17:48):
This is the books. They're really detailed, but you
know. It seems weird to change it if
it's like following an entire storyline.
It'd be like if Dune all of a sudden was like, oh, hey,
changing main character now it'sa chick and all of the and
you're like, wait, but what happened?
How did it become like, I don't,well, how does this transition
(18:08):
get there? And like, don't worry about it,
all right? Just turn the page.
It's ridiculous, dude. It's seriously, it's like, what?
What is going? It's like when I asked your
girlfriend, you know, I was like, what are you reading?
She just calls porn. And I was just like, yeah,
basically like those books. Like I saw this YouTube video of
this, of this lady talking aboutit going, yeah, she's like
(18:31):
writing is just kind of gone into the toilet.
And and I can't help but feel like this is that thing I was
telling you about with, with the.
I think the it's starting to fade.
The flame is starting to fade, which is a good thing with AI
because now it can get better because right now it's being
used as an everything all thing and everything is integrated
with it. And it's not that good.
(18:53):
And it's it's really, really bad.
Really bad. Like I was on a call with all
these other reps and they were like, what's your favorite AI?
And this guy's like naming a bunch of them off.
And I'm like, OK, like people gooh, I like, I like rock.
No, thank you. I it was bad.
It's really bad. I'm not.
(19:13):
Stuck with AI at home. What are you guys messing with?
Is there one that you actually enjoy using?
Let us know. But I mean chats.
Honestly, chats really all I use.
There are some others, and I've dabbled in some here and there,
but they're nothing. They all have their purpose,
Yeah, but I mean, most of them are just a candy coated wrapper
(19:36):
over open AI. Yeah, I mean, it's, and that's,
it's, it's crazy, dude. That's like, you know, I don't
know your feelings around this, but you know, I think they
should be building many nuclear reactors around these freaking
data centers. Dude, just.
They need better ways to manage the power because even they
talked about that's why so much of the increase in there was a
(19:59):
25% increase in the cost of power between like last year and
this year and it was because of the data centers and because of
like AI. So instead of building
infrastructure in that just designed specifically for these
data centers. They just plunged into the grid.
Fucking our grid and going oh don't worry, your bills can
(20:21):
handle it and it's not getting dumped on these big ass things.
It's going to everyone at home. And and they have the gall to
charge you 20 bucks a month, those motherfuckers.
Yeah. You're going to pay and guess
what, those they get tax subsidies for putting those data
centers in so they don't have topay for utilities.
They don't have to pay for power.
(20:42):
That's why they don't care. And that's it's kind of like
it's, it's the world you live in.
But you know, it's you know, I know that a lot of people are
like, oh, what about Chernobyl? Like that was a long time ago
and that was. Nuclear reactors around the
world at this point. Well, not in Europe anymore.
They're closing them down and they're having problems.
(21:03):
You know that they they know exactly what caused that
blackout in Spain during the summer.
You remember that when all of Spain went dark, what caused it
and what solar? There was a weird fluctuation in
the electricity. Yeah.
And I fact checked that like crazy, and it dead on.
(21:23):
And I was just like, what? But they don't want to talk.
About it, yeah, because it was, oh, what was it?
It was basically like the something with the what the fuck
with the current. Yeah, she's well, it's DC.
That's right, it's DC. You can't and the IT because
solar goes off. Yeah, yeah.
They use an AC versus ADC, What they're saying there's an issue
(21:46):
with that. But then something with, there
was something else that caused it though.
There was something with the Solar that happened.
Well, it was trying to like, well, no, no, that's what they
thought. It was a flare, but it was.
Even like. Well, you got, she went through
a lot of different facts that they had on there.
They're solar farms that are notactually running and doing
(22:07):
anything. There's wind farms that are not
doing anything because it's too expensive and and the actual
return on it is so small and thedamage it does to the
environment is. All the time because they're not
getting paid to return it, so they turn it off.
So it's like it's not. But then what's the point?
It just, it's, it's fake greed, that's what it is.
(22:27):
It's not even real. I mean, at least the power
company provides something. Think about who got the subsidy
put it in the first place because it's all for going
green. All of the solar stuff, all of
the wind stuff, everything gets like government subsidies, tax
write offs, tax benefits from it.
So if that's what we're constantly seeing from it and
it's not even running half the time, who the fuck is doing
(22:49):
that? They.
Well, we don't have the batteries to be able to, I mean
to. Store it and you can't put it
back in. So it's like with the way our
system is, they just shut it off.
But that's a lot of free power. That or power we wouldn't have
had to pay for. For how many other people?
You know, you could argue that the solar is really affected,
(23:10):
but it's not 'cause you even if the batteries you would have,
you also have to think about thestorage.
Of those, I'm just wondering if we could put it into the
existing system as an AC becausewe can't store it as ADC.
Like what's solar? Yeah, 'cause unless you get but.
It's limited, yeah, but I mean, that's the problem.
It's limited and you could only.Who's during the day?
Yeah, where that power could actively go because it's that
(23:34):
switches live, you know, it's got some place for it to go.
It's not being stored. So but then it wouldn't power
would have to be free like or gauged in a whole different way
because it would be going to whoever is, you know, I.
Think it's still early. I just don't think it's, it's
really effective right now. I mean, when I see solar on
(23:55):
somebody's home, I, I just thinkof an expensive add on that you
just put onto your home that youcan't sell now.
Yeah, it's it doesn't. I don't know.
I don't know if it adds value tothe resale around here.
Like truly if it was it. Used.
To it's got this on here like yeah I.
Don't know, like when I was trying to sell my home, the guys
that were selling my home, they said do you have solar on your
(24:16):
home? I said no, and they go, you
should get it. That bumps up the value of your
home. I'm like, yeah, but then I'm
gonna have to pay for it. They go, no, you don't.
It's the subsidies. But you know, that's the other
thing too, man. You think about like, I don't
know if you heard about this too.
You remember the PPP loans and all those people doing it and a
couple of people that we worked with that were involved with
those. What's a?
PPP loan. So these PPP loans were the
(24:40):
loans that they gave employers or for small business owners.
If you had no money, yeah, they'd give you $10,000.
So all these people just call you literally, there was like,
no backing to it. And they would just say, put in
your social. All right, do you have a
business? You're really like, yes, $10,000
(25:03):
in your checking account the next day.
What the quote, a bunch of random people thought this is a
good idea. There was a couple of consulting
businesses that actually got involved in that one, and
they're on the back end of that.But just this week or, or the
week that you're hearing this, the FBI has been arresting
people for federal for felonies of larceny because they didn't
(25:27):
have a business. You had to prove you had a
business. Yeah.
So they. Paid you?
Dude, this was like young guys, young kids, like they're like 1
kid'll do it going call his brother up going hey, you know,
you want to get this money, you just go to Citibank.
(25:47):
There's a glitch. They'll give you 10 grand.
There is no free lunch. There is no free lunch and it's.
Incoming for your butt hole. Yeah, dude.
Well, I mean, I don't know. There'll be so many of them.
And they're like, what do we do?I mean, they might serve a few
years, but it's ridiculous, you know, it's ridiculous.
(26:08):
It's ridiculous in that and the people going, oh, that shouldn't
happen. You know, we, we should be able
to just have this money And like, that's why it's not worth
as much anymore. That's why we we're spending so
fucking much on gas on everything, man, It's, it's so
crazy right now. It is crazy.
I mean, but it's an opportunity.I think every, every era has
(26:31):
that tipping point. You know, the 80s had it 90s had
old late 90s or early 2000s had it 2008.
I was, I don't know. I mean, I was married, I had
three kids, but I wasn't living in this world.
You know what I mean? I was just kind.
Of I got really lucky because I had just gotten married like 3
(26:54):
weeks married three weeks beforeChristmas and I got let go
because I was the newest employee as a sales manager.
What year was this? O8 end of November O 8
mid-december and I lucked out that my parents had invested a
lot of money into a hearing aid thing and that shit the bad.
(27:18):
The guy kind of ran off with that and they lost all of their
that was their retirement. So they basically assisted
living centers in January of O9 right after I lost my job.
And so I went to help my parentsdo that business.
And when we say help, you mean being a slave?
(27:40):
Yeah, no, I, I, I talked to my mom about that the other day.
I was like, Oh yeah, I, I workedfrom like 6:00 AM till, you
know, 10:10 PM. And then when I was fully living
there, it was. And I talked to my both my
parents and, you know, I was like, yeah.
(28:00):
And you charge me like $2800 a month for that room.
And they're like, what? I was like, yeah, that's how I
felt. And I was like, so it was really
hard because even though I was working insane amounts of hours,
most of that went to paying for the room that you made me stay
in to help, like do it all. It's just and.
Some crooked shit, dude. So they don't think about it
(28:22):
when they're doing it. No, I mean, you know, that was
then and we can say what it was then.
You know it doesn't. It doesn't reflect on the person
today, but it's just like back that I was fucked up.
I'm going to call it dude. I was fucked up because I think
about that now, dude, and I'm glad I get to hear these types
of things. And then I experienced certain
things. My parents were really good
though. I mean never, never did
(28:44):
anything. Like that overtime because
anything over my hours would getput on my wife on hers and they
just never pay me overtime because that would cost them
more and because they were trying to save money and start
it because they just lost their entire retirement.
I got reamed in the asshole. So it was super cool.
(29:04):
That's why you walk that way, yeah.
Walk with a limb, you know. More of like kind of like looks
like you're wearing pumps but you're not ass is all perfed up
in the air like a chicken. Clack, clack.
Clack load up my my pipe. Not it.
It's been, I'm grateful for whatI have.
(29:27):
I truly AM. And you know, today I was kind
of in a bad mood driving home, taking an hour to get home.
And yeah, I just thought about it.
I'm like, you know, I'm gratefulfor what I've got right now.
And even though it's still hard,it's stepped forward and, you
know, it's, it's taking care of my family the way I need to
(29:49):
right now. And, and I know you're doing the
exact same thing. We're doing everything we can to
be able to get by. And it made me think about a lot
of our audience that probably isgoing through a lot of the same
things right now. And they could be, you know,
running a business, but it's gone to ship.
Or they could be in the cannabisindustry and it's not what they
(30:10):
thought it was going to be. Or they got in the cannabis
industry because they couldn't get any other job.
And now it's the love of their life.
It's always the other side, you know what I mean?
And that's why I'm thinking likeI started thinking on the way
home, I'm like, you know, if youdon't like the way it looks,
just flip the coin on the other side.
Oh, it's all shiny on that side.Well, I guess it's good to go.
(30:33):
And I just, and I need to think that way.
And I was, I was letting, you know, this really long day and,
and I was like going, yeah, dude, if I want to get more out
of my day, then I need to do a few more things earlier on.
And I started thinking I need tostart getting in the mindset
that you do where I do, I have it planned out, but I don't
(30:54):
stick to my plans. And I've been doing good though.
I, I use my Airpods at work and I put on noise cancelling and I
literally made the sign it's laminate.
It says do not disturb. Help me make calls and get work
done. Thank you.
Now go away. And people have been cool with
it, except, you know, and, and that's and, and it's not because
(31:18):
of, it's not for them, it's for me.
Because I can't stop fucking talking.
So it's OK. It can be a good problem to have
sometimes. So, well, dude, I, I wish I
could smoke flour while I'm at work, but then I would never get
anything done because I've been like, I'm stuck.
I left my flower over there and I'm up late.
I'm already still pretty high. But yeah, dude, you know, what I
(31:41):
wanted to actually talk about was these things.
Oh yes, mine is up in the cabinet.
So it's cool ish. It always gets just one side of
the bowl unless you have tiny bowls or if you're I.
I've even thought about it like lighting.
(32:03):
My bowl was full this morning and it did a lot better because
I didn't have to put it down in it.
I held it above it and then it was able to get more of it also.
It's pretty clean though, I likeit.
I like, I feel like I get betterflavors 'cause I'm not getting
the butane. And I smoked all three of my
joints today with it and it was fantastic.
(32:26):
Oh, how'd that go? Delicious.
I the 1st 2 didn't canoe at all.I didn't have a canoe.
It was like slow rolling. It was fantastic.
I was really impressed. My first one looked kind of
lumpy and shitty, but it still worked great.
That's. The boring part, right?
Yeah. And then the second one.
(32:46):
So I probably went through about6 papers today in practicing.
Three of them I smoked, three ofthem I tore apart and re rolled
just to, you know, keep practicing.
So if you guys don't know how toroll a joint yet, it's actually
not terribly hard to hand roll. I spent a little bit of time
(33:07):
today and fucked around and found out so.
Yeah, dude, I I saw this guy doing it and it looked like he
was like trying to milk mouse tits.
Like he was just like he was slowly going and they're just
feeding the paper and it's a, it's a patient art.
It's, I mean the way that Bijon rolled those.
(33:29):
They were, they were. Perfect cylinders.
They were perfectly rolled. It looked like cones.
They looked like they were, theywere dropped into cones.
That's the way it looked. It looks so perfectly centrical.
And I was just like, dude, that's, that's, you know, that's
something I want to get because,you know, I'll tell you what,
man, there's still nothing like a joint.
There's nothing like a joint. I mean, I can't do it all the
(33:50):
time, but man, it's a good sesh because you can really just kind
of just either get into your music or contemplate.
But you know, you, I mean, that day I didn't, I, we had what,
four or five strains that day. And I'm just like.
Five. It was a great, I was like
(34:11):
having such an amazing time, youknow?
I tried to hang as long as I could, dude, but by the end I
was like, not, not I'm I got to drive not too long, so I got to
be. But the lemon juice brought me
right back to earth. Dude.
Swear that nuts. But no man, it's you know, I
think about a lot of the stuff like we, we've got a lot to be
(34:32):
grateful for too. You know, we've made so many new
friends within cannabis and justreally like exploring more and
more and more and. The audience Not even within.
Oh, I know. That's what I was about to say.
That's so cool. So many people interacting with
us. We love it.
We interact right back. And you know, a lot of the
stuff, even even the comments that you have like, hey, Jesse,
(34:55):
shut the fuck up. Like no, but at the same time,
I'm just like, you know, I like that.
I like it where people can tell us the truth and, and they're
not hiding behind it. And you know, The thing is, we
don't put out like so much contact that we feel like, you
know, we're just annoying, annoying people.
(35:17):
Like I just, I, I enjoyed this. I still enjoy this.
I have not got bored of this at all.
And I love that there's people out there that look forward to
this Dude. That's the reason why we do
this, you know? If not we'd be like dude it's
fucking our week, as busy as shit.
Let's just get to keep their smoke and play some games.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. When's the last time that
(35:38):
fucking happened? Right.
But we didn't even watch that movie.
That movie was badass. Especially while we were
amazing, it was. So good.
I tried to watch it again but I wasn't high enough.
I was just like. There's a good solution for
that. Oh.
Guys haven't seen the F1 movie Imean.
We liked it. It was fun, it was entertaining.
(35:58):
It was a movie. It was.
We didn't have any purpose. I just watched it.
I wasn't mad at anybody in that.You know what I was mad at?
I couldn't be in that car. Just I know, but I can imagine
that G4. Have you seen those videos I've
been sending you, sending you ofthe racing?
I can't tell if it's real or not.
I know I'm not sure and I'm looking at it.
(36:20):
I'm like is that are they SIM? Is that?
Real. Like but I looked at the
hashtags and one said E like E sports and I was like OK so this
this must be a SIM one because it just looks so fucking real
though. Well, I had I saw this one like
simulator and the guy is drivingand it and it actually like the
(36:41):
IT has a hood to give you the illusion that it's moving and he
hit a bump and you saw the rightside go.
Well. And it you went like this and I
was like, that's cool. Like I want to go to one of
those racing Sims where you sit in it and it's not like the
screens and shit all. Around you thing, yeah.
(37:03):
I got to find somebody that got that and I'll I'll see if I can
get the company to pay. For that, yeah, right.
No, there was someone you're talking to and they said that in
Salt Lake there's a company who holds luxury cars and they have
one of those really nice racing Sims there.
I just don't remember. Yeah, the company.
Yeah, No, there's two of them. There's one that's called
(37:28):
Automotive addiction that's in Salt Lake.
Yeah, I know the guy. His name's ER he he runs that.
And then there's another one. Patch is involved with them and
they're in American Fork. You have to, I think it's like
around 700 bucks a month to store your car in one of those
places. And then you get to be in a club
(37:50):
with other guys who have those same cars.
Like there's like it's it's expensive, but it's just just
for rich guys who don't have friends.
I mean, to be honest, no. Everybody just smoke with.
They're just like. I know, isn't that pretty
terrible if you hadn't no one tosmoke with?
If you don't have anyone to smoke with, play another episode
(38:12):
of Us and. Dude, you know what we should
do? That'd be really cool.
I don't know, let's, let's do it.
Let's just make this the poll that we put on there.
Should we do a live smoke sesh with everybody and we just take
a couple of questions? We could probably do it just
like this, where we smoke jointsand we talked to our audience.
So let's do a poll. If you guys want to see that,
(38:35):
you know, you're hearing it, putit out there.
What we'll leave this poll up for several episodes just to
kind of get as much much information as we can.
We'll see what happens from there.
If you guys want to do that, that'd be cool.
You know, you can ask us questions like does Brandon
shave his butt hole? I don't know.
Only on Wednesdays. Wednesdays.
Wednesdays gets really long. Yeah, so I have to do it on
(38:57):
Wednesdays every week, otherwiseI have to braid it.
I just that time. Oh, images, images.
Hey, we love you guys. Thanks for tuning in.
Yeah, guys, take care.
I'm Brandon. And I'm.
Jesse we're cannabis school having cannabis infused
conversations with everyday people, cannabis companies,
celebrities and your mom. Welcome to the sesh.
Welcome back. Today we're doing just a sesh.
Jessie's chilling at home. I'm chilling at home in the
studio and I am rocking the bombmad loud.
(00:26):
Code below. If you guys don't already know,
these are like our favorite fucking devices for.
Consequences they really are. And they're under 200 bucks.
They're fantastic so. Yeah, I mean, and I like Doctor
Dabber, but I'll tell you man, this has been like it.
It really has been a total game changer, man.
(00:49):
It's so easy to clean like the most easy out of any any rig
that I've ever had. I I just really like it.
I love the affordability, but I loved it as I just like it.
I just really like it and it's I'm using my look at that.
It just goes like this much. I'm the mystery.
(01:10):
Oh no, there it is. I'm using plus, yeah.
An amazing device by Storson Bekel.
I think we'll actually have a code for that below in the show
notes as well for stores and Bekel.
Yeah, guys, go check it out. I know that they've got a new
device coming out pretty soon. Brandon rocks.
The VC, it's out. The VC, yeah, it's looks like a
(01:33):
tinier version of the Venti, actually.
Oh that's cool because you know one thing I really like about my
mighty is that it is still compact enough, but it doesn't
hit like the venti that is trulysuper cool.
So it's probably priced better too for the individual user.
But if it's like got the batteryof a crafty, that's what I'm
(01:55):
down with. Yeah, I wondered what the
battery life on the VZ is like in comparison, because the
Mighty and Venti, I feel like they're pretty sixes on battery,
like they're both, they lost 8 sessions or so, so good amount,
which is pretty nice. And you said you're rocking
Cheetah. Pit or cougar piss?
Cougar piss and OG diesel. Yeah, OG Diesel, Colorado grow
(02:18):
and Cougar piss is over from ourfriends over at Beehive.
Oh, yeah, go by there. You know, I, I was just talking
about it just a few days ago andI'm like, man, if you're, if
you're from out of state and you're like, man, I'd really
like to go to a dispensary. Speaking, that's the That's
close. Smoking today is out of state.
(02:39):
Out of. State's the brand.
It's Orange Block, Cherry or or a BlackBerry.
Is it? Is it got a lot of fruity notes?
Yeah, it has a lot of cherry, a lot of like fruity tones in
there. Oh I love a good cherry type
strain. That's it's always really good.
Really. Yeah, not overly heady a lot.
I mean, I have pressure because it's so weird to wear headphones
(03:01):
now, but for these meetings likeit's the time that we do it so.
But aside from the headphones, Ihonestly don't feel like
pressure. Aside from that, it's just light
tingling in my cheeks. Nothing major.
It's pretty. No, that's cool.
Yeah. The one mine, it hits all here.
The combination of both of them comes here and it's kind of
(03:21):
pulling, really puts me in a good mood.
I was kind of burned out today. Work was long and I just was.
Yeah, it really has. But, you know, it's good.
It's good because, you know, I'm, I'm happy to have the work
and I'm happy to finally kind ofbe providing I'm, I'm barely
scraping by still. And I'm not, I'm not upset by
(03:42):
it. I'm just like, yeah, you know
what? There's always something else
that I can do. And that's kind of the time we
live in right now, man. People just really need to
depend upon one another too, man.
I've, I've had so many people just help me for no reason
whatsoever other than just wanting to be really nice to me.
And yeah, so I've been doing a lot of that lately too.
Like I've been helping our friend out, Jordan, like
(04:04):
literally he's just like, oh, dude, I'll cut you a Commission.
I was like, don't worry, take care of yourself.
I got you. You know, it takes like 5-10
minutes of my day and then I'm back to it.
But you know, it's, it's thinking about that like I
could, I could easily just tell him like, this is what you're
going to pay me all the time. And I'd be just in doing that.
(04:25):
But I just kept thinking about it.
I'm like, yeah, but that's, that's truly not living the way
that you want to live. You know, just just help people
because you can. And, and good fortune has come
because of that, you know, been helping them for a while and
now, you know, a little bit comes here and there.
And that's why I'm thinking like, man, it's that that
friendship economy that is, is really going to take that next
(04:47):
leap. You know, kind of like, you
know, some settlers that came into some random land and
they're like, you're white, I'm white.
Let's not kill each other. Let's let's build, you know, log
homes. And they do that and you're
like, cool. Yeah.
Man, good strain, good mix. Yeah, dude, it's a good mix.
Did you see? I thought it was really
(05:07):
interesting Trump's endorsing CBD for elderly people now.
Yeah, well, if you remember in his election campaign, they were
asking, you know, what do you think about cannabis?
And he's like, it's very good stuff, very good.
I promote it. I have some friends, good
friends. They're some of my best friends.
You've you're not as good at friends with them as I am.
(05:29):
That's probably exactly what he said.
But I mean, you know, pretty much it was just like he, I
mean, it's a rock and a hard place.
I mean, there's just too many superstitious old people that
are still in Congress that are not for it.
And it's them that is the issue.Like you got a lot of young
(05:49):
congressmen, a lot of senators that are very for it.
ATF I'm sure it's just like thisis bullshit but.
I, I'm very curious, maybe you can enlighten me on your
perspective on this. So around that, like there's a
lot of people in our Congress, alot of our Senate, a lot of that
who are still butting heads against it.
(06:10):
And I wonder because I feel likeso many of those actual people
have been in discussions and rooms where lots of data has
been shared, lots of informationon CID, on cannabis, that I, I
really wonder if it's fear of the medicine anymore or if
(06:33):
there's something more behind it.
Because like when I sat down andhad a real conversation with my
grandma, she's old, she was mid 80s.
But when I had like data and information that was able to
change and shape the way that she thinks around cannabis
versus where she came from before.
(06:54):
And I, I feel like these senators, congressmen have had
endless amounts of data and information.
Do you still feel like it's, it's mostly a fear from the
unknown around the medication? Or do you think there's
something more to that? I think it what it is, is it's
something that you already stated.
You know, if we were to talk to your grandma 15 years ago,
(07:15):
different conversation. I don't think it would have been
fruitful for her to be able to even try it because she would
have been. I don't know.
And it's taking it to where you're at in your current
situation, Right. Your grandmother was in horrible
agony on lots of pain medication.
Yeah. And I mean just, and, and it
(07:36):
wasn't good for her, right? It was robbing her of, and she
didn't like the feel. But those types of individuals
who are in there, I mean, all ofthem, they, they don't exist in
our world. They exist in the halls of
whatever building they're in. Their reality is the meetings of
raising funds and keeping policies to get kickbacks.
(08:01):
Like that's what they've turned into.
And I think a lot of that, the biggest issue on it is just they
would have to actually a lot of them would have to experience
based upon something drastic. And I think it's just a closed
mindedness. If it was made federally legal,
well then that would be really difficult for any of them not to
(08:25):
because then I think it would bea point of discussion, but it
wouldn't last very long. I just because of the simple
fact, I don't think it's becauseof medicine.
It's just the perception and it's so hard.
I mean, you know, I was a. Good percentage of those who
drink within that Senator Congress who are very against.
I don't think it has anything todo with like alcohol I.
(08:46):
Don't think it's tied to it, I'mjust very curious if they
themselves are partakers of 1 substance but not OK with.
That guarantee, guarantee. Where my perspective is going
with that? Well, I mean it, everything is
OK behind closed doors, right? But as far as their perception,
(09:08):
because their perception is whatkeeps them in a job or whatever
it is. I think of those a lot like, you
know, old school YouTube famous people, you know, honestly,
that's like, it's like, oh, and Senator PewDiePie has the floor.
I would like to, you know, and you're like, no.
(09:28):
Because they're just trying to get their audience and trying to
keep their audience and they're just.
Trying to keep monetized dude. Make sure to subscribe and and.
Yeah, subscribe and follow because I'll be running next
month. Yeah, totally.
It is. It's, it's so that way because
it's all it is. They're just, they're just going
outgoing. What if?
(09:50):
That's how it was run, was all our senators and and congressmen
had to be. Like an Idiocracy.
Like social media stars. And if they were not popular,
people didn't like him. It was just like next.
Well, I mean, it will be like that.
Like hopefully we go to the Running Man.
You ever seen the Running Man with Arnold Schwarzenegger?
(10:11):
Oh, dude, it's this crazy story about this guy.
Who? I don't know, I guess he was
like a cop or something. It's in the future, you know,
where it's all everybody's goingto die like 1/2 we have.
Schwarzenegger's movies. I feel like you're in the
future. You got to die.
Oh, yeah, he totally. Because, I mean, come on, what
else is he going to be as a hero?
And so he he goes and he's gone.He's in prison.
(10:32):
He's just like, fuck you, you'rein prison.
He's like, all right, So he goesto prison.
He's Jacks. Everybody's like, please take my
take my apples. And then he gets an opportunity
to get out. And what you do is you you get
to be able to volunteer to be inthe game called the running man.
And what they do is they take these inmates and they shoot
(10:53):
them into this like whole wasteland area of the United
States. We'll call it.
No, I won't because I I might offend something.
So we'll call it rando place USA.
OK, was. Like southern Utah?
Yeah. Yeah, there you go.
Parts of it. Yeah, definitely.
Middle of Buffett, Nevada. Yeah, seriously, Death Valley,
(11:15):
you know what happened? I was, I was right in the middle
of that and I totally lost my train of.
Thought running man. Oh yeah, running man.
So thank you. And don't think me think orange
block Berry. Different.
Your mine's super sharp and let's think cougar piss.
That's best beeline, isn't it? Beeline.
Or buzz. Or buzz.
(11:37):
Either one. Check those guys out.
I think they're the same family,just one's a higher quality
margin something, yeah. The OG is good because it kind
of lifts you up because I remember that this cheetah
cougar piss can make you really giggly.
Yeah, it's a happy strain. Yeah, it's a really good one.
Yeah. But so they launched these.
He gets launched into this game.And if you survive the game,
(12:00):
then you get, and there's all these like crazy dudes, like a
guy with chainsaws, I think he juggles them or something.
And another guy would like flamethrower and Arnold
Schwarzenegger goes here, he gotthe light and he throws the the,
you know something. Yeah, but it you, if you win,
you get your freedom. Kind of like, right?
Yeah, there was. There was this crazy one early
(12:26):
2000s where it's about, it's kind of like in the whole like
premise of like the Blair Witch Project, you know, not the
premise, but the mood where it'slike, you know, somebody
following the camera and they'regoing like this the whole time.
You're like. I hate those these the worst
movie cuts. Yeah, I do, because you got to
take Dramamine just. Well, no, you don't.
(12:46):
You just got to smoke your favorite strain, preferably an
indica, so you don't get motion sickness.
But yeah, there was a movie where this woman's, like,
pregnant and she has a pistol. And it's like something where
you can win a lottery and you have to eliminate all these
other people before the next one.
And like the main character is apregnant woman and she's, I
(13:06):
think she's the same woman that was in Silence of the Lambs.
She was in the pit. I haven't seen that in so long.
Oh man, I just remember everything.
So the random things. Apparently I had to take my
insurance exam three times. But you passed, so that's what.
Yeah, I passed, yeah, but dude, I mean, I'm just like, that
movie seemed long. Yeah, but the Running Man is
(13:30):
really cool because it's it's kind of funny because it's like
this is the future where they even got like a game show host,
the guy who used to host the Family Feud in the 70s and like,
he's the announcer and stuff like that.
And Arnold Witz out of it, you know?
And I mean, if, if it's in the 80s, guys, if you haven't seen
it right now and I'm ruining it for you, fucking go see it.
But now, forever. He like, kills.
(13:52):
He kills the guy, puts him in the pod where he got launched
into the arena. He's like, yeah, I'm going to
send you off, whatever your nameis.
And then they he goes flying offand he's just like you watch
the. Games.
I couldn't get into it. I tried to.
I just couldn't get into. It yeah, man, I I watched the
first couple and then Addie wanted to watch him, so we went
(14:15):
back and we watched it and it was just like, man, we we just
finished it. But it was it was good.
But God damn, I just think aboutthose types of games, that type
of a reality. I mean, I'm sure maybe around
the world there is something like that, who knows, But.
You see like a movie called The Deer Hunter in the 80s with
(14:37):
Christopher Walken and he's likeplaying Russian roulette back in
like Cambodia or something like that because he couldn't handle
it back in the States or something and goes back there.
He's just like, and a lot of guys did that, you know, but it
was just like seeing spinning the gun.
Oh, I'm going to shoot move myself.
(14:57):
And he keeps click and then he puts it down and you win a bunch
of money, you're competing against another guy and this
whole time he's like winning andthese other guys are like Bam.
Then they just clear the dude and another guy sits down going
do it. Jeez.
And then finally he gets killed.They like wrapped, it's like
really tight headband around their head and lots of like
(15:20):
padding. So they don't go, the blood
doesn't go spraying everywhere. Wow.
Yeah. They're more concerned about the
cleanliness than, you know, somebody dying in front of you,
you know? That's intense.
I've not seen it that. Is intense.
That's a good dude. The 70s and 80s had crazy ass
movies. Crazy.
Do you see Scarface? That's fucked up.
(15:41):
I haven't. I haven't.
Or or the Godfather I've heard. Amazing things about Godfather
I've still. Yeah, one and two don't see 33
is horrible. It's so bad.
It's. Like the Home Alone movies?
Yeah, like the first one, you'relike, OK, yeah, all right.
The. Second one was the next one, it
was fine. And then?
(16:02):
The third one's a whole new kid.You're like what the fuck?
Yeah, I know. I hate when they do that.
I hate you like, like the Witcher, dude, The Witcher on on
Netflix. Like Henry Cavill was Geralt and
then all of a sudden they switchthem out.
Oh, they totally did. It's out right now.
Nobody's watching. Emily and I just were going to
go start it over again because we never really got through it.
(16:24):
But then she had heard that theywere switching carrots and she
looked it up and it's because ofcreative differences.
He didn't like the direction that they were going.
They weren't, no. Because they weren't sticking to
cannon. And that's the thing that the
gamers and the fans of the bookswere like, as long as you stick
to that. And that's why everybody was
upset when he took the part because they're like, no,
(16:45):
Superman can't play Geralt. And he's like, I'm a big fan of
it. I've read all the books, I've
played all the games. I've played The Witcher 3 like
multiple times through. He goes trust.
Me. He's the guy.
And then Superman, yeah. You guys played the the Man of
Steel and Batman versus Superman.
He was in those in Justice League and he, yeah, dude, he
(17:07):
was like. I like him.
He did a bunch of oh, he was. I thought he played it very
well. Yeah, well, the cool thing is
like the first season is just like a lot of the first book,
which is called The Last Kiss, and it's really, really good.
And he got the closest to Geraltin the game, but the new guy
(17:27):
just it it's not. How do you switch the main
character midway through? And he just told him he's well,
they, they had their agenda, what they wanted to do.
They wanted to change everythingabout it.
Like Siri can become a Witcher. But in that in the Canon, only
men can do it because they go through this horrible trial.
(17:48):
This is the books. They're really detailed, but you
know. It seems weird to change it if
it's like following an entire storyline.
It'd be like if Dune all of a sudden was like, oh, hey,
changing main character now it'sa chick and all of the and
you're like, wait, but what happened?
How did it become like, I don't,well, how does this transition
(18:08):
get there? And like, don't worry about it,
all right? Just turn the page.
It's ridiculous, dude. It's seriously, it's like, what?
What is going? It's like when I asked your
girlfriend, you know, I was like, what are you reading?
She just calls porn. And I was just like, yeah,
basically like those books. Like I saw this YouTube video of
this, of this lady talking aboutit going, yeah, she's like
(18:31):
writing is just kind of gone into the toilet.
And and I can't help but feel like this is that thing I was
telling you about with, with the.
I think the it's starting to fade.
The flame is starting to fade, which is a good thing with AI
because now it can get better because right now it's being
used as an everything all thing and everything is integrated
with it. And it's not that good.
(18:53):
And it's it's really, really bad.
Really bad. Like I was on a call with all
these other reps and they were like, what's your favorite AI?
And this guy's like naming a bunch of them off.
And I'm like, OK, like people gooh, I like, I like rock.
No, thank you. I it was bad.
It's really bad. I'm not.
(19:13):
Stuck with AI at home. What are you guys messing with?
Is there one that you actually enjoy using?
Let us know. But I mean chats.
Honestly, chats really all I use.
There are some others, and I've dabbled in some here and there,
but they're nothing. They all have their purpose,
Yeah, but I mean, most of them are just a candy coated wrapper
(19:36):
over open AI. Yeah, I mean, it's, and that's,
it's, it's crazy, dude. That's like, you know, I don't
know your feelings around this, but you know, I think they
should be building many nuclear reactors around these freaking
data centers. Dude, just.
They need better ways to manage the power because even they
talked about that's why so much of the increase in there was a
(19:59):
25% increase in the cost of power between like last year and
this year and it was because of the data centers and because of
like AI. So instead of building
infrastructure in that just designed specifically for these
data centers. They just plunged into the grid.
Fucking our grid and going oh don't worry, your bills can
(20:21):
handle it and it's not getting dumped on these big ass things.
It's going to everyone at home. And and they have the gall to
charge you 20 bucks a month, those motherfuckers.
Yeah. You're going to pay and guess
what, those they get tax subsidies for putting those data
centers in so they don't have topay for utilities.
They don't have to pay for power.
(20:42):
That's why they don't care. And that's it's kind of like
it's, it's the world you live in.
But you know, it's you know, I know that a lot of people are
like, oh, what about Chernobyl? Like that was a long time ago
and that was. Nuclear reactors around the
world at this point. Well, not in Europe anymore.
They're closing them down and they're having problems.
(21:03):
You know that they they know exactly what caused that
blackout in Spain during the summer.
You remember that when all of Spain went dark, what caused it
and what solar? There was a weird fluctuation in
the electricity. Yeah.
And I fact checked that like crazy, and it dead on.
(21:23):
And I was just like, what? But they don't want to talk.
About it, yeah, because it was, oh, what was it?
It was basically like the something with the what the fuck
with the current. Yeah, she's well, it's DC.
That's right, it's DC. You can't and the IT because
solar goes off. Yeah, yeah.
They use an AC versus ADC, What they're saying there's an issue
(21:46):
with that. But then something with, there
was something else that caused it though.
There was something with the Solar that happened.
Well, it was trying to like, well, no, no, that's what they
thought. It was a flare, but it was.
Even like. Well, you got, she went through
a lot of different facts that they had on there.
They're solar farms that are notactually running and doing
(22:07):
anything. There's wind farms that are not
doing anything because it's too expensive and and the actual
return on it is so small and thedamage it does to the
environment is. All the time because they're not
getting paid to return it, so they turn it off.
So it's like it's not. But then what's the point?
It just, it's, it's fake greed, that's what it is.
(22:27):
It's not even real. I mean, at least the power
company provides something. Think about who got the subsidy
put it in the first place because it's all for going
green. All of the solar stuff, all of
the wind stuff, everything gets like government subsidies, tax
write offs, tax benefits from it.
So if that's what we're constantly seeing from it and
it's not even running half the time, who the fuck is doing
(22:49):
that? They.
Well, we don't have the batteries to be able to, I mean
to. Store it and you can't put it
back in. So it's like with the way our
system is, they just shut it off.
But that's a lot of free power. That or power we wouldn't have
had to pay for. For how many other people?
You know, you could argue that the solar is really affected,
(23:10):
but it's not 'cause you even if the batteries you would have,
you also have to think about thestorage.
Of those, I'm just wondering if we could put it into the
existing system as an AC becausewe can't store it as ADC.
Like what's solar? Yeah, 'cause unless you get but.
It's limited, yeah, but I mean, that's the problem.
It's limited and you could only.Who's during the day?
Yeah, where that power could actively go because it's that
(23:34):
switches live, you know, it's got some place for it to go.
It's not being stored. So but then it wouldn't power
would have to be free like or gauged in a whole different way
because it would be going to whoever is, you know, I.
Think it's still early. I just don't think it's, it's
really effective right now. I mean, when I see solar on
(23:55):
somebody's home, I, I just thinkof an expensive add on that you
just put onto your home that youcan't sell now.
Yeah, it's it doesn't. I don't know.
I don't know if it adds value tothe resale around here.
Like truly if it was it. Used.
To it's got this on here like yeah I.
Don't know, like when I was trying to sell my home, the guys
that were selling my home, they said do you have solar on your
(24:16):
home? I said no, and they go, you
should get it. That bumps up the value of your
home. I'm like, yeah, but then I'm
gonna have to pay for it. They go, no, you don't.
It's the subsidies. But you know, that's the other
thing too, man. You think about like, I don't
know if you heard about this too.
You remember the PPP loans and all those people doing it and a
couple of people that we worked with that were involved with
those. What's a?
PPP loan. So these PPP loans were the
(24:40):
loans that they gave employers or for small business owners.
If you had no money, yeah, they'd give you $10,000.
So all these people just call you literally, there was like,
no backing to it. And they would just say, put in
your social. All right, do you have a
business? You're really like, yes, $10,000
(25:03):
in your checking account the next day.
What the quote, a bunch of random people thought this is a
good idea. There was a couple of consulting
businesses that actually got involved in that one, and
they're on the back end of that.But just this week or, or the
week that you're hearing this, the FBI has been arresting
people for federal for felonies of larceny because they didn't
(25:27):
have a business. You had to prove you had a
business. Yeah.
So they. Paid you?
Dude, this was like young guys, young kids, like they're like 1
kid'll do it going call his brother up going hey, you know,
you want to get this money, you just go to Citibank.
(25:47):
There's a glitch. They'll give you 10 grand.
There is no free lunch. There is no free lunch and it's.
Incoming for your butt hole. Yeah, dude.
Well, I mean, I don't know. There'll be so many of them.
And they're like, what do we do?I mean, they might serve a few
years, but it's ridiculous, you know, it's ridiculous.
(26:08):
It's ridiculous in that and the people going, oh, that shouldn't
happen. You know, we, we should be able
to just have this money And like, that's why it's not worth
as much anymore. That's why we we're spending so
fucking much on gas on everything, man, It's, it's so
crazy right now. It is crazy.
I mean, but it's an opportunity.I think every, every era has
(26:31):
that tipping point. You know, the 80s had it 90s had
old late 90s or early 2000s had it 2008.
I was, I don't know. I mean, I was married, I had
three kids, but I wasn't living in this world.
You know what I mean? I was just kind.
Of I got really lucky because I had just gotten married like 3
(26:54):
weeks married three weeks beforeChristmas and I got let go
because I was the newest employee as a sales manager.
What year was this? O8 end of November O 8
mid-december and I lucked out that my parents had invested a
lot of money into a hearing aid thing and that shit the bad.
(27:18):
The guy kind of ran off with that and they lost all of their
that was their retirement. So they basically assisted
living centers in January of O9 right after I lost my job.
And so I went to help my parentsdo that business.
And when we say help, you mean being a slave?
(27:40):
Yeah, no, I, I, I talked to my mom about that the other day.
I was like, Oh yeah, I, I workedfrom like 6:00 AM till, you
know, 10:10 PM. And then when I was fully living
there, it was. And I talked to my both my
parents and, you know, I was like, yeah.
(28:00):
And you charge me like $2800 a month for that room.
And they're like, what? I was like, yeah, that's how I
felt. And I was like, so it was really
hard because even though I was working insane amounts of hours,
most of that went to paying for the room that you made me stay
in to help, like do it all. It's just and.
Some crooked shit, dude. So they don't think about it
(28:22):
when they're doing it. No, I mean, you know, that was
then and we can say what it was then.
You know it doesn't. It doesn't reflect on the person
today, but it's just like back that I was fucked up.
I'm going to call it dude. I was fucked up because I think
about that now, dude, and I'm glad I get to hear these types
of things. And then I experienced certain
things. My parents were really good
though. I mean never, never did
(28:44):
anything. Like that overtime because
anything over my hours would getput on my wife on hers and they
just never pay me overtime because that would cost them
more and because they were trying to save money and start
it because they just lost their entire retirement.
I got reamed in the asshole. So it was super cool.
(29:04):
That's why you walk that way, yeah.
Walk with a limb, you know. More of like kind of like looks
like you're wearing pumps but you're not ass is all perfed up
in the air like a chicken. Clack, clack.
Clack load up my my pipe. Not it.
It's been, I'm grateful for whatI have.
(29:27):
I truly AM. And you know, today I was kind
of in a bad mood driving home, taking an hour to get home.
And yeah, I just thought about it.
I'm like, you know, I'm gratefulfor what I've got right now.
And even though it's still hard,it's stepped forward and, you
know, it's, it's taking care of my family the way I need to
(29:49):
right now. And, and I know you're doing the
exact same thing. We're doing everything we can to
be able to get by. And it made me think about a lot
of our audience that probably isgoing through a lot of the same
things right now. And they could be, you know,
running a business, but it's gone to ship.
Or they could be in the cannabisindustry and it's not what they
(30:10):
thought it was going to be. Or they got in the cannabis
industry because they couldn't get any other job.
And now it's the love of their life.
It's always the other side, you know what I mean?
And that's why I'm thinking likeI started thinking on the way
home, I'm like, you know, if youdon't like the way it looks,
just flip the coin on the other side.
Oh, it's all shiny on that side.Well, I guess it's good to go.
(30:33):
And I just, and I need to think that way.
And I was, I was letting, you know, this really long day and,
and I was like going, yeah, dude, if I want to get more out
of my day, then I need to do a few more things earlier on.
And I started thinking I need tostart getting in the mindset
that you do where I do, I have it planned out, but I don't
(30:54):
stick to my plans. And I've been doing good though.
I, I use my Airpods at work and I put on noise cancelling and I
literally made the sign it's laminate.
It says do not disturb. Help me make calls and get work
done. Thank you.
Now go away. And people have been cool with
it, except, you know, and, and that's and, and it's not because
(31:18):
of, it's not for them, it's for me.
Because I can't stop fucking talking.
So it's OK. It can be a good problem to have
sometimes. So, well, dude, I, I wish I
could smoke flour while I'm at work, but then I would never get
anything done because I've been like, I'm stuck.
I left my flower over there and I'm up late.
I'm already still pretty high. But yeah, dude, you know, what I
(31:41):
wanted to actually talk about was these things.
Oh yes, mine is up in the cabinet.
So it's cool ish. It always gets just one side of
the bowl unless you have tiny bowls or if you're I.
I've even thought about it like lighting.
(32:03):
My bowl was full this morning and it did a lot better because
I didn't have to put it down in it.
I held it above it and then it was able to get more of it also.
It's pretty clean though, I likeit.
I like, I feel like I get betterflavors 'cause I'm not getting
the butane. And I smoked all three of my
joints today with it and it was fantastic.
(32:26):
Oh, how'd that go? Delicious.
I the 1st 2 didn't canoe at all.I didn't have a canoe.
It was like slow rolling. It was fantastic.
I was really impressed. My first one looked kind of
lumpy and shitty, but it still worked great.
That's. The boring part, right?
Yeah. And then the second one.
(32:46):
So I probably went through about6 papers today in practicing.
Three of them I smoked, three ofthem I tore apart and re rolled
just to, you know, keep practicing.
So if you guys don't know how toroll a joint yet, it's actually
not terribly hard to hand roll. I spent a little bit of time
(33:07):
today and fucked around and found out so.
Yeah, dude, I I saw this guy doing it and it looked like he
was like trying to milk mouse tits.
Like he was just like he was slowly going and they're just
feeding the paper and it's a, it's a patient art.
It's, I mean the way that Bijon rolled those.
(33:29):
They were, they were. Perfect cylinders.
They were perfectly rolled. It looked like cones.
They looked like they were, theywere dropped into cones.
That's the way it looked. It looks so perfectly centrical.
And I was just like, dude, that's, that's, you know, that's
something I want to get because,you know, I'll tell you what,
man, there's still nothing like a joint.
There's nothing like a joint. I mean, I can't do it all the
(33:50):
time, but man, it's a good sesh because you can really just kind
of just either get into your music or contemplate.
But you know, you, I mean, that day I didn't, I, we had what,
four or five strains that day. And I'm just like.
Five. It was a great, I was like
(34:11):
having such an amazing time, youknow?
I tried to hang as long as I could, dude, but by the end I
was like, not, not I'm I got to drive not too long, so I got to
be. But the lemon juice brought me
right back to earth. Dude.
Swear that nuts. But no man, it's you know, I
think about a lot of the stuff like we, we've got a lot to be
(34:32):
grateful for too. You know, we've made so many new
friends within cannabis and justreally like exploring more and
more and more and. The audience Not even within.
Oh, I know. That's what I was about to say.
That's so cool. So many people interacting with
us. We love it.
We interact right back. And you know, a lot of the
stuff, even even the comments that you have like, hey, Jesse,
(34:55):
shut the fuck up. Like no, but at the same time,
I'm just like, you know, I like that.
I like it where people can tell us the truth and, and they're
not hiding behind it. And you know, The thing is, we
don't put out like so much contact that we feel like, you
know, we're just annoying, annoying people.
(35:17):
Like I just, I, I enjoyed this. I still enjoy this.
I have not got bored of this at all.
And I love that there's people out there that look forward to
this Dude. That's the reason why we do
this, you know? If not we'd be like dude it's
fucking our week, as busy as shit.
Let's just get to keep their smoke and play some games.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. When's the last time that
(35:38):
fucking happened? Right.
But we didn't even watch that movie.
That movie was badass. Especially while we were
amazing, it was. So good.
I tried to watch it again but I wasn't high enough.
I was just like. There's a good solution for
that. Oh.
Guys haven't seen the F1 movie Imean.
We liked it. It was fun, it was entertaining.
(35:58):
It was a movie. It was.
We didn't have any purpose. I just watched it.
I wasn't mad at anybody in that.You know what I was mad at?
I couldn't be in that car. Just I know, but I can imagine
that G4. Have you seen those videos I've
been sending you, sending you ofthe racing?
I can't tell if it's real or not.
I know I'm not sure and I'm looking at it.
(36:20):
I'm like is that are they SIM? Is that?
Real. Like but I looked at the
hashtags and one said E like E sports and I was like OK so this
this must be a SIM one because it just looks so fucking real
though. Well, I had I saw this one like
simulator and the guy is drivingand it and it actually like the
(36:41):
IT has a hood to give you the illusion that it's moving and he
hit a bump and you saw the rightside go.
Well. And it you went like this and I
was like, that's cool. Like I want to go to one of
those racing Sims where you sit in it and it's not like the
screens and shit all. Around you thing, yeah.
(37:03):
I got to find somebody that got that and I'll I'll see if I can
get the company to pay. For that, yeah, right.
No, there was someone you're talking to and they said that in
Salt Lake there's a company who holds luxury cars and they have
one of those really nice racing Sims there.
I just don't remember. Yeah, the company.
Yeah, No, there's two of them. There's one that's called
(37:28):
Automotive addiction that's in Salt Lake.
Yeah, I know the guy. His name's ER he he runs that.
And then there's another one. Patch is involved with them and
they're in American Fork. You have to, I think it's like
around 700 bucks a month to store your car in one of those
places. And then you get to be in a club
(37:50):
with other guys who have those same cars.
Like there's like it's it's expensive, but it's just just
for rich guys who don't have friends.
I mean, to be honest, no. Everybody just smoke with.
They're just like. I know, isn't that pretty
terrible if you hadn't no one tosmoke with?
If you don't have anyone to smoke with, play another episode
