Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know it is hard.
At the end of the day there'sso many things that come through
, at least on the legal side.
It's for whatever reason.
Freshness is harder.
Yes, and I feel like you knowwhat four or five months is
basically like our weird littlewindow from, and that's even
seems kind of long, but you knowwhat I mean.
Like that's still a shortwindow.
Like this is stuff that's comicgrown.

(00:20):
It takes, fucking, you know,three months, yeah, grown it
takes, fucking, you know, threemonths.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Yeah, yeah, like it's , so it's, it's just a crazy
cycle, it's true.
Yeah, it's a long cycle, asyou've heard that I grew
mushrooms at one point and, uh,it's a lot shorter cycle.
You know what I mean.
So it's like I just on thatnote, when you fuck up a crop,
it's like you're sour, you startback.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
It can only ever be like two or three weeks, not in
your clean, your schnoz out withthat.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
It smells like ultra sour, yeah I was about to say I
like the smell of that.
Almost it smells like anoriginal.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah, it smells crazy that one might be the end of
the night kind of thing that onecrashes me really hard.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
That sounds about right, but you come down real
fast.
Yeah, it's like zoop yeah it'slike zoop.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah, it'll be interesting, though I hope to
see more, like you said, somemaybe collaborative work.
I think that we're starting tosee it a little bit.
No one really has the samedirection, at least in terms of
having change happen in thelegal market.
So that's probably the biggestthing is just aligning people,
of course right.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Well, one of the people who's doing fantastic
collaborations, rosin hits, yeahtotally yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
And you know what I'll shout out todd right now
again, because he was also, uh,pushing hybrid visions to do his
thing and he pushed you to doyour thing, and I think that
that's really dope yeah, todd'sa great guy.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
He's always working hard, man.
You know, it was a cool littlemarketing thing.
He had cody Van Gogh.
There's people that do that.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
I saw that yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
I saw that.
I thought it was cool.
It was like a peanut butter andjelly sandwich joint, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
That's hilarious yeah .

Speaker 3 (01:52):
The bite out of it was where the filter was, okay,
so where you put the bite, Ithink I saw.
That's pretty funny.
That's hilarious.
He's an artist on his own, yeah, um, and it looked very cool
and he put the entire quarterlike you put the whole half
ounce in it.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Oh, wow it's like smokeable wow, yeah, anyway.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
So it's very cool.
I thought it was smart, why not?
That's the kind of stuff thatgets passed around and talked
about and it's hard to market inour industry.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
So well, that's the thing is, everybody has these
cool ideas, but they're all like, yeah, I could do it, but I
don't want to but, like itdoesn't matter, even if it's a
one-off, do it.
Everyone will think it's cooland you'll enjoy it and have fun
in the process.
Like, just follow those crazyideas that you think are stupid.
It's gonna be fun.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, go for it.
Why not, man?
I like the peanut butter andjelly.
Like the cool bag.
They have cool bag yes, no, Iwanna.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
I still have been looking for it.
I haven't been able to get it,but that's because I've just
been too busy.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Corey, you got any safety tools for dabbing Like or
safety tips, I guess?
Oh, safety tips, yes, that's agood one we can go over.
I just thought that's kind oflike important, you know, Using
torches and shit, that's what Iwas about to mention.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
We were talking about temperature earlier.
So, yeah, you always got tomake sure you're watching where
your banger is, not only around,but what it's touching.
If it's going to be around,anything that might even come
close to it and like melt orsomething Because, like I work
in upholstery and we have a lotof heat will actually like
completely change the shape ofhow it's sitting on the
furniture.
So you want to make sure stufflike that Rubbing alcohol is a

(03:21):
big thing as well, like, yeah,we use it to clean everything,
but you want to make sure you'vecompletely got the rubbing
alcohol off, because that in theend, if you are smoking it and
it does go into your lungs overtime, that'll end up getting
your immune system down and it'snot exactly a good thing.
How often do you change?

Speaker 3 (03:37):
your alcohol.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
I change my alcohol every one or two days.
I try and make sure it'srelatively clear, like if it
starts to go yellow, I'll, Iwill change my rubbing alcohol
out.
And uh, I'm.
I don't know if anybody elsedoes this.
I'm kind of weird.
When I'm working in my shopI'll just leave my rubbing
alcohol outside so it canevaporate off.
I don't bother sitting it downthe drain or anything, cause
it's it's bad for theenvironment.

(03:59):
So I just figured if I can getit out that way and not have to
worry about any environmentalproblems.
It's an easy way to do it.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
So if you just leave it over time, it just evaporates
as gas?
Exactly, yeah, so I'm trying tothink ahead.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
I'm sure that's, like you said, less harmful than
being mixed with the water andthen it's just mixed in.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Is there any?

Speaker 1 (04:18):
tips that you guys could add on.
I definitely like your watchwhere you put your dab tool.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yes, or not, your dab tool, you're also the banger.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yes, yeah, I was the king of the goop oh.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Sean is the goop master.
I didn't even mention that.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
You get all the stone , you smoke the dab and you
forget about the tool and youput it somewhere.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
But you can do some damage, sometimes Sticky yeah,
you're an absolute slime.
I've been slimed by you manytimes.
I'm trying to get something off.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
And I remember Charlie messaging me like bro.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Like we said, if that's why you don't have dab
tools that around, because it'sjust going to go on over there.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
And then exactly that , you find the tool, and Sean's
the master of that too.
It's covered in cat hair.
It's like on the carpet.
You're like dude.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
That's yeah, shame, shame.
Well, I'm not going to let thishappen to the tools that you
gifted me man Perfect.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yeah, they do they sit up on their own.
It's really quite nifty.
Yeah, they do they sit up ontheir own.
It's really quite nifty.
Yeah, thank you.
Yeah, and your littlecenterpiece is really fucking
dope.
I love that.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
Thank you, I forgot I have my little one.
I'm excited about this littleguy.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah, the Terpsler tools I have to thank.
Tom for that he was the one whotold me to make them that small
Recommended a longer, smallerone because, like uh, originally
, like the smallest I would havedone would have been probably
like just a little shorter thanthis, yeah, and when I showed
him that he's like not evenclose to how short I wanted, it
was like oh crap.
So I and I ended up making theone that just basically fits in
the tip of your fingers, andthey've been popular.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Oh yeah, they've been selling more than anything.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Okay, cool, um, but with also, I tried to make them
more towards slurper, so, as youcan tell, the metal's a little
bit bent, so it hugs around thepillar a little bit better and
It'll melt off the entire dabrather than leaving most of it
on your tool.
Right, right, yeah, I think ofall the situation.
Get myself covered.
No, it's good, do we go over?
What kind of would you use?
Yes, I try and use things fromall across the world, so like,

(06:10):
instead of just the that wenever asked.
That's okay, so we'll getaround to it.
Yeah, no, I, obviously I usethe stuff from around here, like
the oaks, the walnuts, themaples, but then I branch out.
I try and use a lot of PurpleHeart.
I try and use a lot of Bubinga,Wenge, Bloodwood, Padauk.
It's just things you'veprobably never heard of.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
I've never heard any of those.
They all sound very fun to say,though, I've never heard any of
those.
They all sound very fun to saythough oh, exactly, right yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
But, it's funny because the wenge is the piece
on the bottom here.
I believe it's actuallystarting to go endangered, but
whenever I send it to peopleit's spelt out it just looks
like wenge.
So they'll be like, yeah, I gotthis wenge wood.
I'm like all right, whatever,but yeah, so it's it's.

(06:57):
It's really cool.
Yeah, um, remind them again.
