about Michigan Mats event last week. When this episode comes out,
a lot of fun summer events are popping off like
crazy right now.

Bro, There's like one every other night.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Literally hareems this weekend caregivers stuff. There is the after

we just went to the Michigan Mats event over at
the crow Foot. It was so much fun. Haven't been.
I've never seen the crow Foot so filled in my life.
(01:50):
Like even at shows and concerts back in the day,
they have the whole venue packed.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
When he was doing the giveaway, man, we walked down
the side stairs and it was so jammed hat Yeah, dude,
like all telling people in that venu. Yeah, he had
people in the balcony audience total. I don't know if
that was like the whole correct correct, I mean it was,
it was fucking pumped in. Shout out to Matt, dude.
He knows how to throw a good event for the people,
for the culture, for the industry.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Shot with my dude. Yeah, he gave we gave way tickets.
We actually did our first scavenger hunt, so yeah, bring
a little bit that. Yeah, a little bit of Cannadate
was award winning caregiver, Ship to the to the Men,
bringing making bridges. I love it. It was a lot of fun. Man.
Shout out to all the people who won in the story.
So essentially what we did is we got there because
everyone's twenty one up at these events, so we're like,
(02:39):
let's do a scavenger hunt. We took Day's button, we
hit him around, we put clues in the story. We
had a blast doing it, so we're going to continue
to do this. I just you know, reach out if
we're going to an event, if we're going to do it,
because it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Man.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I had a blast, like just being like where do
I find this? Dad? Yeah, I know it.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
It was unique. We've never done it before, so it
was kind of cool. I mean it came up, the
idea came up, like you had yah. It was like
it was like, yes, and they were giving away Tigers
tickets yesterday.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Oh dude, I actually have a good story for you.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
So they had these four they had these four little
red ducks and then they hit them around the venue
and you won.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Four Tigers tickets for each duck. I'm like, that's a
really cool idea. This one girl I was talking to
you later, was like, oh, yeah, I found this cute
little red duck and I gave it to my friend
because she likes ducks. I was like, it's like, I'm
sorry what She's like, I found this little red duck.
I'm like, those were four Tigers tickets. She was what
and this like I could see her. She calls her
friend and she was like losing it. She's like, oh
(03:38):
she dumps out her whole bag. I'm like, oh no,
I just ruined this lady's life, I mean, not life, whoa,
I ruined her night because like you could tell her
just go what she just gave way for it. And
then the girl left with the duck, so duck was gone.
Duck was out the building. But I told her to
find someone. And thankfully I talked to this girl because
guess what she found Matt and and they figured it out.
(04:02):
No shit, yeah, they She showed her the picture that
she sent to her friend about it and everything, and
uh yeah, think shout out to Matt for making that happen.
I didn't know that and honestly shout out to all
the partners too that this happened. Old Score Organics, lost
Coast plant Therapy. Use that code, Mike, can't of twenty
save yourself twenty percent at checkout? Can't it be extracts?
(04:22):
I'm actually about to jump into one of his extracts
right here. Jelsey Jerry is the one they just entered
invest in grass and then also shout out to smoking
Tomatoes aka dairy Do. If you trust dairy Do, you're
gonna trust toe the way smoking tomatoes grows your plants. Sorry,
I just want to show a little love there, but no,
I just absolutely loved it.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah overall. I mean you had good food, you had sliders,
you had you had so much, so much different type
of food.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
You had a lot of venue. Look a lot of people.
I think we talked about this awaka big, but you
had people from all that. But we had it. People
from all levels, dispo owners, brand owners, CA givers, people
who just love smoking weed. People I've never seen at
these events, people who actually in the industry, Like it
was the whole community, and I.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Dug that, Yeah, it was respect man. I love the events.
I'll be looking for to the metric mash, I'll be
getting groovy to dress up.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
We'll be doing nineties keep saying this like subtly, like
he just doesn't think I noticed, Like bro, I noticed, dude.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I'm just getting ready. So when October comes and he's like,
damn it, I don't want to do.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
It up, but you know what, I'm gonna dress up
as Candida.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
In the nineties.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Addresses Canada. No, I'm just playing.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
We'll figure it out. It's funny. But the metric mash
and doing a dress up thing in October.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
No, you could we do the Blazers.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Oh god, No, that was two thousands. Damn it.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I thought I didn't know if it was like ninety
nine and nine would have been nine years old.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
No, it would have been damn it. We were like
eleven or twelve. We used to wait baseball together, and
our one of our our second baseball team is gonna
be called the Blazers. So it's like so full circle
because obviously we're in like school, we weren't smoking weedet
like sixth grade, seventh grade, I didn't even talk about
weed that.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
We didn't know what it was.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
We didn't know what the fuck was dude, we were
so naive of kids. But anyways, no, sorry, we're gonna
did it hand you. But no, these events are great.
There's a lot of cool ones popping up. Uh, it
was a great event. I really don't I think other
than that, Like I'm just talking about the event a
little bit. There was doughnut bars, there was dad bars.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
People are giving out product left and right, edibles, you
get the chocolate, people with backpacks just handing out joints
like people.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
There was they had people with trays giving out weed.
Like it was just such a fun little time to
just get some free product, enjoy some of these people's product.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah, but it's like you were just saying, people are
just giving ostuff. Yeah, there's like people just walking in there.
There's boxes just getting stuff out, like small boxes like
a box. The pets out samples and we got some samples.
One brain gave it to us and they're like, I
don't know about that sample. No, when I tossed. But
for the most part, well you got to look at
what you get.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
But the whole point is that people are going there.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
To put That was a random person. It wasn't advertise.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Martial art it's not about sales there and that's why
I liked about it. And so anyways, yeah, but you know,
events are cool. They're popping up Dream this weekend, the
Toke Float next weekend, and then I know there's Summer
and Smoke Out in three weekends I think from now
three or two, which is the up shout out the
uper Cup. If you're up in the up, definitely go.
I play Saturday at Shit two or three, two thirties
(07:20):
somewhere around that time, Saturday afternoon at the Dabs tent.
We'll rip some dabs. We'll have some fun. But yeah,
I'm trying to get Dave to enter the uper Cup
take hope and get another trophy. Really you should you?
Why not? Man? And I'm getting a judge kit, so
that'll be fun. I mean we'll be judging, but if
it's your button, we'll have to like we can't enter
any points on that cop but we always keep it legit,
(07:42):
keep it legit, but unfair and uh yeah, so Summer
and Smoke Out, but and then after that, I think
it comes a little bit in the fall, but best
in grass this competition. We're gonna judge today they do.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
A live event yeah, I mean I like their event
last year. Last year, Yeah, it was pretty couel at
Royal Loge. This year is potentially we were talking even
with h with somebody else about this that they might
be having able to be a smoke on sight there
as well too, so that'd be kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, and that's more of the venue. So that is
the venue so AnyWho. But like it was anyways, the
event press, it's a it's more of like a ball
right or like an award show truly in that grammy
type of style, you know, like you everyone's dressing up
and stuff, so it is different brings that little uniqueness
to it. Yeah, I think it's cool.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
I like it's it's different than some other award shows. Right,
it's Royal Oak.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Too, Like you just don't hear a lot of like
camage events in Royal ever. So for me, I was like,
right off the smoking outside, no problem last.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Year Yep, it was right, it's right off. So it's
pretty sill. Chill spot, chill spot. I'm excited. Do you
want to jump into this?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Uh the live demo? Yeah, I mean we're gonna do
a live review while we're at it, So it's kind
of a win win, So so how you do it?
Hit me the card please if you don't mind, Thank
you my friend. So you get this kit, you get
the kit right and bag that showed you. Ye have
the bag, You get the bag. This card comes in
along with product. It's kind of hard to see the focus.
(09:08):
It basically has instructions on here along with a QR
code to basically get you to the website or you
just go right to bestinggrass Dot app backslash Judge. Okay,
so when you get to that site, it'll have you
register your name, just kind of make a password like
a general log in for a website. Oh, actually, let
me pull it up. What am I doing? Sorry about that?
(09:30):
There it is so here it is. I'm gonna pull
down the lower third for a little bit so we
can see it a little bit better. So when you
come in, you log in, and then once you log in,
you'll you'll get this screen that pops up that basically
says like what you see right now on your screen
here the top right corner says ad kit. As you
can see, we have our kits already added. So we
(09:51):
have ours from last year. We did flowers Sativa. Yeah,
I can't really point in my mouse, but you can
see at the top, so that's completely tens for when
you hit ad kit, it asked you to put in an code.
So the code is and it says and enter that's
the code you want to enter. It doesn't actually say
the word code by it, but enter this and and
your kit will get auto at it, which I think
is nice, super simple, and then once you're added in,
(10:13):
you'll get you'll have a screen like this where you
can see your judge kit and then you individually just
judge each one. Pretty straightforward. We did a couple already
where you do them. We have them data and an excel.
We're just going to do them later because we had
our own judging system. We're just going to enter it later.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, we're doing it two different ways, which is cool.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I want to do the demo, you know, we like
to do the demo.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
So this is so you're seeing on the screen right now,
you're searing the different strains that we are, the different
companies of product that we are trying U were today
we're going to be doing the Fresh Canna Moon Rock.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
It's a bubble gum to bubble Gum Live Resent Moon
rock as was. It says on the live Rosin is
what it says on the website, but on packaging it
says live Rosin.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Oh shit, okay, so mate, I want I'm curious.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Then I think it was probably just a one letter
typing air. That's probably all it was. But I just
want to let you know. So it is this one
and the same, that's all I was pointing out. You're
absolutely right, So let's do this. We actually haven't done
this yet because we did our own system and we're
just going to excel or enter the excels in later.
So you hit judge and this is what you get.
So it looks like appearance is out of one out
of ten, which is stars, but it's one out of ten,
(11:21):
Aroma one out of ten, flavor one out of ten.
Select the flavors and aromas you noticed the most. I
remember this last time I enjoyed this. Yes, I remember that.
I totally forgot that. That's really cool because even in ours,
it's more of a number system and we just discuss
correct right. But since you're data entering it, this is
so much more simple than having to type out what
you feel. As long as with them digesting that and
(11:43):
setting all that info.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
And it looks like they expanded on the flavor or
the different types of aromas and flavors that I think
there's more little bars you can choose.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
I remember they do give us a detail section too
as well, so.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Because I remember last year we were Michigan was the
first competition that you ever launched. When he launched Best
in Grass, Michigan was the first state to start it.
So it looks very similar. But to me, it looks
like there's a couple of which is good.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I can't really read the next one, say, effects, Yeah, effects, rate,
You're sorry, it's like small on my screen. Rate your
experience with potency and effects of the of the product,
so basically like how high you exactly? You know what
I mean?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
And then it goes into select how you felt after
testing the product, and then you're oh.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Wait, so hold on, so rate your experience with the
potency and effects of this product versus how you felt. Okay,
so how high are you versus like, what what's the
buzz you're feeling? Gotch you gouys?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
And then it goes to rate your overall experience with
this product and how likely would you recommend this.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Product with our recommended repurchase. So a lot of these
categories are pretty much similar to what we do. So
that's why a lot of times we just you know,
entered in later a little more granular. So yeah, let's
get to judging, man, let's check it out, right, Is
that what we want to do?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah? I think so, I think I think that sounds
like it groovy.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
So we got two grams of moon rock? Can I
see it as well? Yes, sir, because you want to,
you say, I'll so the one thing I will point out,
we're gonna go a little deeper into appearance because when
you look at a moon rock, it sure it looks
pretty off rip right. Actually, you know what, I'll pull
this on in the cannic can shoe, so y'all can
see it real quick. I'm gonna flip in between each look.
(13:28):
But here it is. So here's the moon rock itself. Right,
So there's the moon rock pretty of course, I mean
it looks keify. But something we've learned from some one
of our partners is you really got to look in
the moon rock to see if the keif's good. See
if the the live Roslin resident whatever whatever it is,
the flower good because sometimes it just looks pretty. Of
course it's gonna get you high. It's a lot of TC,
(13:49):
so you can talk to it. I'm gonna try to
break this, yeah, so break this.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
What you're seeing Groovy do right now is he's breaking
open the the moon Rock and this is the Bubblegum
Moon Rock by Fresh Canna. It's got keith on the outside.
Looks like I can't really see if you got a
little rock, can you see the live resin in it?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Or it's a little hard to see without the focus.
So actually not as much. I like when you can
used to be able to see like a layer of
live resin or is just covered straight in the keith. Yeah,
but usually you get oh there, okay, if you peel
back the live resin, peel back to keith a little bit, yeah,
I thought, yeah, I see a little bit. You can see.
(14:31):
It's kind of hard to see on the screen with
the focus. The focus keeps auto focusing, but there's definitely
live resion in there, which I'm glad. So we did
another one earlier in the competition that be straightfor I'm
not gonna throw the company on the bus. But like
I didn't even feel like there was any live resent
in it. We smoked it. It just kind of tastes like
keif in a little bit like hashy. Yeah, so there
(14:53):
was definitely hash in it, but not a lot either.
So it was like, you know, very unique because when
you're doing moon rocks, there's no like when you do
and donuts. There's kind of like ratio. It smells like bubbleicious.
Really holy shit, it does wonderf's added terps. Yeah, that'll
that'll just go against the taste score. It's a little
(15:14):
you know, so it does smell just like.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
The visual appearance. I mean, overall, it looks like it's
pretty good, right, I can't knock nine eight nine in
the visual appearance, I mean it looks good.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
It's I kind of I will say that I love
when a moon rock like especially. I won't say, you know,
just keep loving the partner. But when you break there,
when you can almost see the resid, I like when
you can see a little bit more so I think
there might be like light light resid But it's definitely
not bad. I think eight is totally reasonable because it
looks it looks nice. Yeah, that smell though it's weird, man, Like,
I don't know how I feel about that. So then yeah,
(15:45):
then you just click your stars and they pop up
like that. E's a busy to be straightforward with you.
I'm a little turned off by the smell. I know
some people might be impressed, but like, weed should not
smell like that in my opinion, So let me a phrase.
I not I have never smelled weed that like that.
You know, I've never smelled bubble. Yeah, it's kind of
(16:07):
like a so and the fact that I I mean, like,
I think some people would be like, oh, it's a
really potent smell, so it should be high. But it's like,
I just it's it doesn't smell right. So I don't
how to explain that, right, because there's nothing wrong against
French cana. I'm just wondering if there's added turps at all,
that's crazy. If you have bud smelling like that, then
(16:28):
please let us know, because that's shit's crazy. I want
to try the flower and rosin like because it's smells
like I could smell the tell from here. Yes, So
what do you think? Man Aroma? Like, I'm honestly going
to go with like a five, but like the six
because I'm second guessing a little bit, but that's only
because of my own judgments on bubble gum general. I've
never smelled bud like that. Yeah, curious how it's gonna taste.
(16:51):
What do you think? Um six seven? All right, and
then we'll go in to taste so we'll see what
it's like. Yeah, and again I'm not trying to knock
any company specifically by any means. If you like doing
the added terps, and I'm not saying Fresh Cannon does,
I'm just a little shell shocked on how much it
(17:12):
smells like bubble gum. The only time I've ever smelled
something like this was with edit turps. So that's why
i'm a little because I saw rosin and I was like,
oh shit, solveless. But that's why they say rows and infused.
There's no solvent list because if there's added terps, I
don't think that. I don't know. So someone from Fresh
Canon is watching this, let us know. We're always curious.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah, taste, It tastes like bubble gum on the try
it No shit.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I mean, what do you think it smells like? It's it?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I mean, it is it added bubble gum.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
They're not wrong. It smells like bubble gum. And again,
I this is just my own judgment on it, because,
like I'll be honest, like I like my weed to
smell like weed, you know what I mean, A lot
of people do. Like you used six or seven. I
was gonna go down to five because, like I'm just
I don't know, I like weed to smelling taste. Like
I was litally about to go down to five without
even asking. I just went down. But I just because
(18:10):
I needed to smell like herb sometimes when it's covered up,
I'm like, what's the point, you know what? People like
my sister like that.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
People I'm saying, there's a huge.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Community and don't smoke weed. Like she really just hits vapes,
you know, when she wants to get high. She doesn't
even smoke flower, which is mind blowing to me, you
know what I mean, different generation. Oh wow, I haven't
heard that in a while.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I'm just trying to taste the bubble gum. Mhmm, some
hash where some moon rock, my fresh canna.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
This is so weird, Like it's just weird to feel
like I'm smoking bubble gum. It's heavy bubble.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
It's like reminds me of bubbleicious and the thin container
where you do the whole foot nice.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I don't know if I like it, dude, I mean,
it's just so unique, I because I don't. It just
tastes like added turps to me. And maybe I'm wrong.
If you have your weed tasting like that, that's crazy,
but I just I'm not not a fan of it
tasting so much like bubblegum. Like even when we taste citrus,
but weed, it's still got the citrus in it. It's
not like just it even yours still sakes like weed.
That doesn't even I don't taste weed, and I think
(19:30):
that's my issue with the taste. Yeah, and again, as
we always say, we're always willing to try the company
multiple times. We never just knock a product once and
never try it again, because you should never just have
a bad experience and be like that's it, you know,
because sometimes things are just different. You know. We always
(19:51):
tend to do reviews multiple times for different companies.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Like Flavors and aromas. I'm noticing in this, you know,
it would.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Be like what you what numbers you give her for flavor.
I'm still debating in my head currently, I'm at like
a five man, I don't. I don't like it tastes
like weed. This is a little weird. Yeah, I'm probably
right around there with you. And that's just because it's
not like it's it's awful tasting. It's just overpower the
bubble gum. Dude, it's not like it's awful. It tastes
like bubble gum. I just like it. You know what
(20:22):
flavors aroma? Do you smell bubble gum? Yeah? I don't know,
you know what I mean? Like, I don't know. Is
there bubble gum? There is not, there's not.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
There's buttery, chemical, chocolately, citrus, diesel, earth, earthy, floral, fruity, lavender, minty, nutty, pepper, pine, skunk, sour,
sweet spice. There is sweet, tangy vanilla, and woody fruity
bubble gums like fruity. Is it be sweet and like
(20:52):
fruity to me? Okay, sorry, I can't see it on
this screen.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
I'm looking back. I don't. I don't want to feel
like we'll just keep ragging on this. But like I
just bud.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
The bud broke out nice. The but yeah, it looked
like good bud though, so at least they did put
some good flour in it, because that's some of the
things I was more concerned about, because a lot of
people have covered uh that's the lib rezin. A lot
of people have covered the or whatever. It is a
bad bud sometimes with stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
So yeah, because I swear I tried the rosin or
a dad once and it wasn't bad by any means.
But again, I'm just very curious if if you really
got something to taste like this, I'll shove my mouth.
But I also don't necessarily I enjoy gassy stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
So yeah, this isn't even up your tur profile either.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
As I said, it's hard to be a little biased
when I'm already like not into sweet bud and then
it's like overpowering, So it's like eh.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
So the next categories rte your experience of the potency
and effects of this product.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Mild. Yeah, I would say it feels superstone man, it's.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Stronger than the other one we did. I've at least
get a little bit more fat little hash.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Yeah, that one.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
That one didn't really hit me too much. I'll be honest.
That one was pretty.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
About the same one with that one as this one.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yeah, probably right around like a five.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Uh, yeah, I really do. Yeah, it's not the best.
It's just weird for my brain to be smoking weed
and tasting gum.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
But anyways, I think some people like that, and that's
why I said, do not take this. I am a
little more biased because of the strains. I like the
stuff I like. I like a lot of like just
straight dabs, So I'm not just gonna sit here nag
Fresh Cans, Fresh Cana has some other products that are good.
I just don't necessarily the bubble gum stuff looks like
how you felt after hearing the product.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
I'm mellow.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I'll just go with whatever you got mellow and calling
yeah mello. No, I mean I'm chilling like I don't
feel like lit yeah yeah, no, No, it's definitely more
of a call mean, but I guess the thing, it's
just calm. It's not really if you're gonna get if
you like this type of if you like that flavored
overall experience, man five or man, it wasn't would ever recommend,
(23:12):
Probably not, I don't know how much. Unless you would,
I would say if if.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
You like the flavored stuff, yeah, if you like.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
If you like vapes, like if you're into like the
flavored vapes, specifically, like the ones that taste like, you
know whatever, they want to call it blueberry or whatever
that's up that as added terms and you know it,
then you'll probably enjoy the product. So for people like
my sister who are like the vape only don't really
like to smoke weed, maybe this is your stuff. Yeah no, no,
absolutely so I would recommend it to some people, but
(23:46):
not to people who really really love wheat taste. The
taste the wheat correct, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, man, so that's
what I would say. And then details strong bubble over powering.
I guess, yeah, what strong bubble gum smell.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
The moon rock looked nice over, but that that bubble
gum smell was very very bubble gum. They ain't kidding
when they say bubble gum. I wish it was like
like bubba cush or some type of bubba that would
have been sick. But the strains actually called it. It
(24:28):
just says bubble gums. I don't even know what the
train's going.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yeah, that's why I feel like it's added turps, but
I don't know. So we had that and then you
just hit submit and boom, you're done. Oh, we gotta
make this small so you see it and then when
you're done complete, it goes complete, it goes to the bottom.
That's what I was trying to find you and that's.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Yeah, so we got a couple more will fill out,
but we want to give you all a little user
and experience, a UI experience of what it is to
judge or be a part of the Best and Grays
competations want to come back next year, and there's like
a category or kit you want to get. This is
what you go into and it's unique. I mean, you
get the find out. I mean you're trying a bunch
of products, damn. And yeah that was my espresso.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Yeah, I got Palate cleans for sure, like I do. Yeah,
you know, and uh, every competition is a little different, yep,
absolutely so always cool to see the different ones, like
the different entry. Excuse me, I'm trying to get to
the different entries because I'll be honest, I don't know
if I've ever seen fresh cannon a comp So that's
what's Every competition is a little different. Summer focused towards metric,
(25:28):
and when they're focused towards metric, you just never know
what you're gonna get Yeah, there's so many brands out there.
I mean there's a couple of brands that I haven't
even heard of in there.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yeah, and then there's a lot of collabs that go
within the brand, because you might have someone that has
the Flower than someone that's doing.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
The content trades the collab with Alien Tech. Yep, speaking
of that, I'm gonna do some of that jealousy Jerry's.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
But overall, I hope you enjoyed the review. Obviously, this
one did not pass our review as well, so we'll
be uh, we'll be telling you about our favorite one
when we get there.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Stay tuned.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
They'll be probably on Awaken Banks or whatever episodes that
we released. So again, that was the Best in Grass
user interface review.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Good, good ship, and sneeze. So yeah, I mean a
lot of double sneeze, double the action, double back. That's
how he wins his cups, is how he does his sneezes.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I do them back to back, usually sneezes. Sometimes sometimes
you get that three people.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
But to circle back to what we were talking about prior,
since we're talking about Best in Grass, all these cool events,
they're NonStop. Man, this is the summer time in Michigan. Man,
So this is the time.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Too, there's like one like I feel like there's one
like every other day every week.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Yeah. Yeah, this past week was crazy. We missed a
couple and there is still you know what I mean,
which the Top Shelf Showdown or whatever it was last
week and then.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
That was Thursday, day before mats and then he had
Cannon Con the same week in his MATS.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Which again, like since you mentioned Cannon Coon, we've been
getting a lot of messages about this, so I got
to bring this up. I heard it wasn't as popping
as Detroit at all. We didn't get to go so
not have an experience, and we used to do media.
So it's a it's just a bummer that they took
that year off and now it's gonna be hard to
kind of get that resurgence, especially in Lancing. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
I think I think taking the year was it was
it a year or two? I don't I know, it's
one for sure, but like taking the time off and
then not being in the market I think might have
definitely hurt. Obviously, we didn't reach out for tickets because
I knew we had the one event and then there's
too many Lancing. Then yeah, it's plus it's too many,
too many where you have other events. Then time off
we have to take too for our day job, so
(27:29):
there's only aluminitu amount of days that we could really
take off. But heard it wasn't as went today, but
like we have to do this work.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Yeah, yeah, And I just think what's fascinating me is
the Lancing move because it's like metro troid I thought
made kind of sense. Well, I don't necessarily get the
Lancing move.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
It's interesting you say that because the Flower XPO was
in Lancing last year twenty twenty four, and now it's
coming to Detroit. Cannon Kim was always in Detroit and
went out to Land. But the last time we went
to Canacon, honestly, I think it was twenty three. It
kept getting smaller and smaller and smaller, so maybe they
just didn't want.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
To rent the cot. I wonder what the reason why
I brought this up is. I think you're right with
the shrinking thing, only because I feel like you're seeing
more business get done at these smaller grassroots events like
Michigan Mats events. You don't need these giant corporate events
where you can't smoke at like like I know the
span of is they only did that this year because
(28:28):
of it was their last year. But if you go
go to a business conference with we didn't like that.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Well, I think you need the areas. Like even at
Cannacon there wasn't like the smoking session wasn't big when
it almost felt like you weren't supposed to be right
like I'm j Biscon's welcomed. Yeah, there's dedicated like you know,
that's where conversations happened. This just gets done out there,
absolutely absolutely, and that's what you need if you're doing
In my opinion, that's what you need when you're doing
it like a B to B event like that, and
(28:56):
you have it inside because a lot of people that
you want to be able to have the conversations, you
want to try product.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Also, a lot of us smoke weed. So what do
you think they want to do. They're gonna go outside
smoke weed, man, So half the business That's why I
like member BISCON when we went years ago, they didn't
care about the smoking section. Then you know you have
the scan yours badges to get in the smoking section
because they realize that's half the fucking conference. Yeah, because
really the conference floor is for if you're trying to
sell something or buy something. Yeah, showcase of product that
(29:22):
you want someone to buy. Even for us man, we
only spend limited time out there. There's so much networking
people to meet up.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
As we've grown.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Yeah, well just that first year we didn't know what
we were doing, but just as we grew that second year.
I'm just talking about in general. It's just that the
floor for these conferences like canna Con, they're dedicated for
like I need a new grow machine, right, So like
biscon makes sense where you hub everyone from the international
Michigan is like they're just a traveling show. So you're
(29:48):
not going to travel to each show. You're just gonna
go to the one that's local. So now you're only
directing towards that niche. But then now you've got to
convince all those people to drive to Lancing from Illinois,
from Indiana, and like.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
That's tough, No won because they have their own them too.
I think, Okay, so you're you're right, No, you're talking
everyone in Michigan's got to come in Ohio, I guess.
I mean here's the thing. Lancing to me, I think
is like not a bad meeting point. I just think
taking the time off kind of hurt them. I didn't
see much promotion behind it.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
I didn't even know it was this weekend.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
I only knew because of our one of our one
of our stream yeah lucks it comes suits in our
streams all the time, was telling us about it a
couple of weeks ago. I didn't really know they were back.
So like, I think they had like a different marketing
attempt than you know, because like we didn't.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
I don't think we got to email, to do media
or anything this time, like a follow up or anything.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
So like, I mean, I don't know if the same
lady that was working right doing it fair, but it
was different to see that.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
No, I think it's just what I was trying to
point out, how popping that grassroots Michigan Mad event was
was to compare to like the B to B only
events like what Harry did with the meeconnect puff kind
of blending. That is that what I'm talking about, man,
that's beautiful, beautiful merging of real like how we do business,
how we are versus Like here's a setup, you know,
(31:05):
you know, there's a room where you can party, but
there's other rooms. It's not too crazy, like.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
You can smoke everywhere besides the natural business.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
When you smoke weed with weed around, you know what
I mean? Like yeah, because most people don't want to
smoke weed. Especially if you want people to try your
stuff or see it, you can make hey look at it,
try it later, and then how you're gonna do business
if they don't even know how your shit is? You know?
So absolutely, I just think that it's the cannon Con
MJ Biscon model is just tough.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
I think it's slowly gonna evolve. Sounding like the reaper.
I think they're slowly going to go away in time.
I think I think hair evolve. It's they're gonna have to.
I think Harry's how he does it is how some
of these are going to.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Have to go, like just on a large scat. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Like the Flower Expo is kind of similar because when
I went to that, that's that was outdoors. You can purchase,
you can try product, you can blaze it.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
That was the one where it was limited and shout
out dab cowgirl. She's promoting the floor expo that great.
People check her out if you haven't. If you're a
bud tender or you're around the dispensary or anything like that,
and you want to be involved, reach out to us
or reach out to dab calgirl directly on Instagram and
she'll say.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Yep, yeah, that's the one I went out to last
year and Lansing and then it was more of like
it was outdoors smoking. So now this year it's in
Detroit and you're able to smoke it. I think I
think that is key for these bigger events, like you
need to have not big this events for you need
to be able to have. You need to be able
to smoke and get it done, and that's why you
sell the Probably the low turnout. I don't know if
it's low, I can't com but that's what sounded like
(32:37):
low turnout. If I came in and I get it,
then that's all I gotta say. And I get it
to some degree that you know you want to separate
it because oh, we're doing business. We can't be like
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
But it's like, that's not how the weed industry works, man,
Like you mean business means we've been and done, or
like if we go with our partners, we smoke first,
or we're smoking while we're talking. It's almost like a
bunch of guys back today, big big of this disgus
and the smoke and the disguise while they do the business,
Like that's the same idea. You're just like passing it around.
It's one godfather, I don't know what it was. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(33:12):
but it's my mob boss. But I'm feeding my ducks
at the pool. Yeah. Anyways, but you get my point though.
What I'm trying to say is it's kind of like, uh.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
It is shick and stuneness that people talk. I mean
it was back at trap days. Man, people smoke. That's
what you do.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
People. I think it's just social. Social is natural, like right,
you know, and that's that's or social smoking is social.
Excuse me, not natural in it for me.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
If you don't want to smoke, you know, you just
pass it, yeah exactly.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
I think Biscon would be really beneficial. They had like
a sweet ventilationism and you can blaze in there. But
I also think the venues can be like you're no,
you spend one hundred and hundred thousand dollars cleaning this
up then, and they're like no, that's what they're like.
You have a smoking section in like five areas. Yeah,
and Biscon, you know, does a little bit better because
like again it's it's Vegas, it's outdoors, it's nice, everyone's
you know, everything's a little more looser, you know what
(34:04):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Yeah, I'm curious how long how much longer cannoncont stays
around me because eventually, as all the states get legal, you're
only going to have so many more states you can
go to, you know, because it's great for the states
that are just going legal or just going medical, you know,
because you're able to see the products, see these brands,
see what you need to build a company, you know
what I'm saying. But as the states go bigger, like nowadays,
(34:27):
like Michigan, like you're probably seeing that lower turnout and
they got to plan in a good area and have
marketing behind it.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Yeah, it's because there's how many events going on. And
also like if you're gonna do it, don't do it
in the summer when there's so many other things to
go to because no one's gonna go spend that money
and do it because there's a free I can go
get a bunch of free bud this week in Detroit
and get a hotel or I can go to you
know what I mean, I don't even know who knows
if they even My whole point is if Cannoncon would
have came in it like fucking February, people might have
(34:54):
been like, I got nothing else going on, you know
what I mean. Like, so the model is like you're
when you're bringing more competition, you know you're gonna get challenged.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Summer works Room in the past, and then slowly kind
of went away from them. I think they used to
do like JUNI or August, and they.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Well because there wasn't as much competition. Actually circle you
have all these grassroots events where I can do the
same about a business but then get a bunch of
pre rolls and leave.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
But there are a bunch of social content too. You're
getting too from everyone that's out there. It's insane, Like
when you go to one of those events and you're
having comparison. And I remember when we brought when we
had Matt on for the giveaway, we even talked about
briefly or the where he said there was another event
going on the exact same day, and you're right. You
go to his event and you have the exact same
reach potentially within that canacon and more, and you actually
(35:36):
people try on your product networking.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
It's a vibe. Yeah, man, it's a perfect mesh man.
And that's I think that's what we're just.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
That's all I was trying to point out is that
I think the models got to evolve because, like you said,
you're already seeing the decline.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
We watched it. I kept telling you, and you know,
I'm like, dude, I literally do events, man. I can
see how they re segmented this room. Like I've worked
in Cobo or whatever it's called the week or whatever,
it doesn't matter, whatever it's I don't know. I couldn't
keep whatever bank owns it this week, you know what
I mean? Like, oh should I didn't realize You've been
(36:11):
on the screen the whole time. I was kind of
like half paying this is you just nodding to oh well,
but oh my my frames.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Are that's why it's not working. That's interesting, too funny,
But yeah, I will see. Who knows if I bet
you won't come back next year if it was that bad.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
I will see, man, Because I get the thing is
like it's just it's an obvious for profit thing. And
then when you go and the feedback is negative and
it's very B to B like, it's very not welcoming
to consumers. You know, there's not giveaways. There's the smoking section.
I mean, I don't know how lancing was, but so
I just hope, uh, you know, people start figuring it out.
But or and then for me, I'll be honest. We're
(36:48):
a grassroots podcast. You know, we're not some big you
know follower, got millions of followers personally, you know, we
developed this kind of together as we developed Canadave and Groovy, like,
it's all been kind of the same time growth. So
it's you know, grassroots man. Of course I support the
grassroots man.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
Fuck yeah. But yeah, no, why he's saying that. I
appreciate every one of you that listens, follows, shares, likes,
our comment likes our stuff, follows our stories. It takes
time for what we're putting in. So I hope I'm
enjoying you all enjoying some of it. And like I said,
we have a new segment coming out, and we have
some possible new segment mini series that we're gonna be
doing with summer.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Yeah, like build a network on a bit. We have
a lot of we're working on some stuff.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
A lot of stuffing in the back end, behind the lines.
So but I appreciate it you.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Oh yeah, Manya'm not really sure what else I was
going to talk about that kind of that's what I had.
I forgot. We didn't look up news articles, so that's
all we had. I wonder, there's anything going on in
the news, look it up live, catch you on the fire.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
No.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
I meant to do that, but I totally forgot.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
Like yeah, no, I mean, uh, it's We're halfway through
the summer pretty much here in Michigan. There's probably gonna
be much more events coming out through the next month
and a half. I'm excited talking about events.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
A lot of carrier events, a lot of metric events.
They're everywhere right now.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Yeah, there's been some good, good product out there, some
good some good donus, some good rosin, a lot of
good stuff out there in the metric market, in non
metric market, thinking.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
I do like, I mean, there is one article this
is Michigan woman caught with Michigan marijuana faces prison while
man with fifty six plants is set free. And I'm
not going to get into the article, but I just
do like to point out that that is the confusing
thing about this industry right now, with all these gray
areas and it's still being scheduled one. But it's you know,
there's too much you get. Yeah, some people and heard
(38:47):
they're getting blocked right now. I don't know how true
that is. That it's been like he needs to be descheduled, man,
because none of all this other By the time it's done,
they're like, all right, discheduled two. I'm like, what, yeah,
I mean a lot of them talk about the same thing.
I mean, so we can kind of talk about this
a little little bit. There's like three articles that are like,
Michigan's market declining, Michigan markets is over supply, is causing issues,
Michigan is over losing money go for the fourth month straight.
(39:10):
So all that's true, Michigan's market has declined. Although we
are seeing successful companies be successful. Sounded dumb. We are
seeing yeah, it didn't make sense. We are seeing companies
who care and put a lot of quality into their
quality product out being successful. Ess I should say, you
just can't come in and grow goad no money. And
I think sometimes these articles go off numbers, right, just
(39:32):
seeing the numbers go down all these less companies last year,
so they must be declining. But I think what you're
doing is seeing the fizzle out of all the garbage
ass companies. You know what I'm seeing saying like you're
seeing all these bad players and some of these people
who like not all bad players.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
That's how you're seeing companies leave, Like Tear Sun that
was gauge and cookies officially has now left the market,
our market because it's not profitable and you didn't see
the quality that they brought.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
And again I'm not even just to call it terrorist
on the ownason why I clapped, because you're starting to
see these big players who don't care. And that's the
one thing I love about Michigan is that we give
a shit about our quality here. I'm not saying every
state is the same, but I just know that because
we have the medical market that was strong, there are
some people who really care about quality here. So's we
try to keep that the standard for all the people
(40:20):
who don't know shit about shit about weed, you know
what I mean? Maybe places like New Jersey, I don't know,
I don't know how their underground market is right, but
because it's chokeholded, maybe it's a little different. But when
you have that strong caregiver market or underground market prior
to that, I feel like there's a different vibe.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Yeah, because we do a lot of quality, but also too,
when you're that big and you're growing that much and
you're losing out on all your pounds and stuff and
you're not selling product because of the people know quality
and different, different stuff, you're gonna lose out quick and
you don't have to go to a different stag, which
makes sense. That's why you see some of these big
players doing. It sucks when some of the small people
lose too, because.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
It's not all bad players and some are good. I'm
not I mean that. I'm just saying it's nice when
you see the big players leave because I feel like
it gives a better chance. So then it does not
even calling out, you know whatever whatever ascent, I forget
what they're connected with, because I'm just saying, any of
these ones who just don't you know, just come in
see how much money they can make. Oh no money,
I'm gonna leave. Like some of these companies we meet
like this is their passion, this is their heart. They're
(41:17):
in this correction, real, real, reasons not. I mean that
sounds weird, real real reasons, but you know what I.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
Mean, Yeah, no, absolutely absolutely, it's not money. It's not
a money gram anymore Michigan is. And I should say no.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
And that's the thing. You're seeing the people with passion
stay and you're seeing some of these and that's not
that's in general. Yeah, so crazy.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
I did see that hitting the news now that we're
talking about that.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Three different articles talked about that, and I think it's
just because people are seeing the decline. But I mean,
at the end of the day, we knew this was
gonna happen eventually.
Speaker 1 (41:47):
Yeah, I mean at least that they haven't put it
more license, so we're still one on the top in
my opinion, mark No, But I mean.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
How long have we been talking about it's gonna start declining.
Now it actually is. And it's like that took a while.
It took like years longer than people thought, Like it's
been up and down, but like.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
You went legal in eighteen, I don't think licenses hit
until nineteen o six years. Yeah, twenty five started to
go down because we were still on the upward trend
even last year, even right before crops over.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
Yeah, man, So I think that's just something we're gonna
have to We're gonna see how the Michigan market handles it,
you know, Yeah, because an auditorium on licensing is kind
of difficult too, because I don't necessarily want that anything.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
I think people just need to pay their bills. Oh
that's that's like something that's really hurting, because when you're
not getting paid money, then how can you operate it?
Speaker 2 (42:33):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
Like, so if that changed, then a lot of smart
players actually do a state.
Speaker 2 (42:38):
It's pretty wild that we work in a legal industry
where people were like just screwing people over or because
they got screwed over, now they got to screw the
next person over. So now now this person's not getting paid.
It's wild because in no industry can I be yeah, yeah,
let me borrow all that paper. I'm gonna go and
then I'll pay you later. No, Like, there's not many
companies like I mean, unless you developed some type of
(42:59):
relation working relationship with them where I can pay you
after or something. But most places want to deposit and
then payment.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
In full business business you should pay.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
It doesn't the whole non cash on delivery thing like
if you're not paying when you like le that's always
confusing me. Like thirty days or whatever, that's what if the
company goes under in thirty days? Grand, yeah, like it's
something no matter what, it doesn't. The model doesn't make sense,
(43:30):
you know, at least make a deposit. If you're gonna
do you need thirty days for the full fine, then
you pay half before you brop the product off and
then you you pay the other half by thirty days.
Like something needs to change because at least the half
thing makes sense, because I mean, if I'm from like
D daying a audio visual, I've got half. I've got
half payments, you know, and some of my bills have
(43:51):
done with audio stuff, like I've got a half up
front just like yo, at least half, right, yeah, man?
And like you make a working relationship, you know, you
go to these festivals, you play these games, MOULDI time
show like yeah, just pay me whenever, like you know,
I trust them, but like you if you just it's
just interesting because no other industry would you be like
cas cool. So yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy, you know,
(44:15):
is listening? Man? Just please please, we gotta do something
about people getting paid in this industry and surviving fact,
otherwise you're not gonna have a job. It's fun.
Speaker 1 (44:26):
It's fun that will me and you were back in
the so please, I don't like the way that sounds.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
I mean, I still have the job.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
It's not this yeah, yeah, my day, Jo. I'm grateful.
I'm grateful.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
No, we're just talking. This is the dream though our passions.
But any it's all.
Speaker 1 (44:50):
I was about to say. It was like, it's nice
to just me and you recording. We haven't done the podcast.
It's us in the studio. We've had a bunch of
recently where we've been out from the live events. Get
back in the news article. There really just wasn't even
a lot, you know, there wasn't much terror. I mean,
the bain big thing was Terryten was closing up shop.
I mean they when Tarysent came in and bought bought,
bought cookies and gage because it was just gauge was
(45:11):
itself first, and then Tarryton came in and bought gauge
and cookies.
Speaker 2 (45:14):
And they're calling it over supply, which does kind of
make sense because you're seeing a lot of these people
grow as much as fucking possible to make as much
as money as possible, But then don't realize one's gonna
buy it just because you grow a lot good. Yeah,
if anything, exclusivity sells way more. I'd love to see
a jar when I see one out of thirty? What
do you mean one out of thirty, That's what I'm saying, Like,
I don't even understand that model.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
You should bring your prey. But it's a different it's
a different market, right, it's a different mindset, it's a
different mindset.
Speaker 2 (45:41):
It's a different consumer that they're tracking to, right, the
person buying the fifty dollars ounces, not fifty dollar grams
a hash.
Speaker 1 (45:47):
That's why I think long term, in general, I think
it's gonna be genetics that are going to stand out
and who has the unique genetics and different flavor profiles
because people are gonna start changing up because everyone grows
the same stuff. But once you have that unique market
of strains and.
Speaker 2 (46:00):
Stuff, I think the issue is we have too many
of those people trying to be that person going after
the cheap one. We need more people doing the quality
because the people going after those like the the people.
Because there's a lot of people that just smoke like
that one of the cheapest bud for the highest THC.
They don't care what it tastes like this, get me high, right,
and that's totally cool man. They don't need to be
like us, the kind of super crapic gives a shit.
(46:22):
But to me, we just need to level We just
need to level out how many of those players we have,
because you don't need thirty Walmarts we had? What do
you need like a Walmart, a Myer? You know you
need a few, right, But what you what we have? You?
You know you want a small lot. That's where you
need the specialty markets like where you go get specialty items.
Speaker 1 (46:41):
You know.
Speaker 2 (46:41):
That's how I'm looking at connoisseers stuff, yeah, versus like
just going along with general.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
But I'm also saying, like I agree, I agree with you,
but I'm as saying like, so you know how everyone
grows runs, right, Everyone grows the runs? Yeah popular, But
if you're going to grow runs, make sure you grow
that runs right. You know what I'm saying, because runs,
yes a unique taste. If your runs doesn't taste like
everyone's runs like it, no one's all that money grab
the growing runs? Yeah, exactly like you can't do that,
like people are getting away from that, you know what
(47:05):
I'm saying, Like you need to to keep your be
able to you can charge more for your pound and
people will buy it because it's actually tasting more like it.
Not maybe much more, but you at least have a
better favorite profile. But again to each throne, and I
hope all brands can do what they can do in
this market and navigate the waters that is happening right now.
So again I want to say shout out to our
partners that make this possible. Lost Coast Plant Therapy use

Speaker 2 (01:14):
So, yeah, we're and the moon Rocks are fun. The

about Michigan Mats event last week. When this episode comes out,
a lot of fun summer events are popping off like
crazy right now.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Bro, There's like one every other night.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Literally hareems this weekend caregivers stuff. There is the after
the weekend. After that there is the flow name Jamie
shout out z Prez. Yeah. And then like you said,
we just went to the Michigan Mats event over at
the crow Foot. It was so much fun. Haven't been.
I've never seen the crow Foot so filled in my life.
(01:50):
Like even at shows and concerts back in the day,
they have the whole venue packed.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
When he was doing the giveaway, man, we walked down
the side stairs and it was so jammed hat Yeah, dude,
like all telling people in that venu. Yeah, he had
people in the balcony audience total. I don't know if
that was like the whole correct correct, I mean it was,
it was fucking pumped in. Shout out to Matt, dude.
He knows how to throw a good event for the people,
for the culture, for the industry.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Shot with my dude. Yeah, he gave we gave way tickets.
We actually did our first scavenger hunt, so yeah, bring
a little bit that. Yeah, a little bit of Cannadate
was award winning caregiver, Ship to the to the Men,
bringing making bridges. I love it. It was a lot of fun. Man.
Shout out to all the people who won in the story.
So essentially what we did is we got there because
everyone's twenty one up at these events, so we're like,
(02:39):
let's do a scavenger hunt. We took Day's button, we
hit him around, we put clues in the story. We
had a blast doing it, so we're going to continue
to do this. I just you know, reach out if
we're going to an event, if we're going to do it,
because it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Man.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I had a blast, like just being like where do
I find this? Dad? Yeah, I know it.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
It was unique. We've never done it before, so it
was kind of cool. I mean it came up, the
idea came up, like you had yah. It was like
it was like, yes, and they were giving away Tigers
tickets yesterday.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Oh dude, I actually have a good story for you.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
So they had these four they had these four little
red ducks and then they hit them around the venue
and you won.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Four Tigers tickets for each duck. I'm like, that's a
really cool idea. This one girl I was talking to
you later, was like, oh, yeah, I found this cute
little red duck and I gave it to my friend
because she likes ducks. I was like, it's like, I'm
sorry what She's like, I found this little red duck.
I'm like, those were four Tigers tickets. She was what
and this like I could see her. She calls her
friend and she was like losing it. She's like, oh
(03:38):
she dumps out her whole bag. I'm like, oh no,
I just ruined this lady's life, I mean, not life, whoa,
I ruined her night because like you could tell her
just go what she just gave way for it. And
then the girl left with the duck, so duck was gone.
Duck was out the building. But I told her to
find someone. And thankfully I talked to this girl because
guess what she found Matt and and they figured it out.
(04:02):
No shit, yeah, they She showed her the picture that
she sent to her friend about it and everything, and
uh yeah, think shout out to Matt for making that happen.
I didn't know that and honestly shout out to all
the partners too that this happened. Old Score Organics, lost
Coast plant Therapy. Use that code, Mike, can't of twenty
save yourself twenty percent at checkout? Can't it be extracts?
(04:22):
I'm actually about to jump into one of his extracts
right here. Jelsey Jerry is the one they just entered
invest in grass and then also shout out to smoking
Tomatoes aka dairy Do. If you trust dairy Do, you're
gonna trust toe the way smoking tomatoes grows your plants. Sorry,
I just want to show a little love there, but no,
I just absolutely loved it.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah overall. I mean you had good food, you had sliders,
you had you had so much, so much different type
of food.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
You had a lot of venue. Look a lot of people.
I think we talked about this awaka big, but you
had people from all that. But we had it. People
from all levels, dispo owners, brand owners, CA givers, people
who just love smoking weed. People I've never seen at
these events, people who actually in the industry, Like it
was the whole community, and I.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Dug that, Yeah, it was respect man. I love the events.
I'll be looking for to the metric mash, I'll be
getting groovy to dress up.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
We'll be doing nineties keep saying this like subtly, like
he just doesn't think I noticed, Like bro, I noticed, dude.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I'm just getting ready. So when October comes and he's like,
damn it, I don't want to do.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
It up, but you know what, I'm gonna dress up
as Candida.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
In the nineties.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Addresses Canada. No, I'm just playing.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
We'll figure it out. It's funny. But the metric mash
and doing a dress up thing in October.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
No, you could we do the Blazers.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Oh god, No, that was two thousands. Damn it.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I thought I didn't know if it was like ninety
nine and nine would have been nine years old.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
No, it would have been damn it. We were like
eleven or twelve. We used to wait baseball together, and
our one of our our second baseball team is gonna
be called the Blazers. So it's like so full circle
because obviously we're in like school, we weren't smoking weedet
like sixth grade, seventh grade, I didn't even talk about
weed that.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
We didn't know what it was.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
We didn't know what the fuck was dude, we were
so naive of kids. But anyways, no, sorry, we're gonna
did it hand you. But no, these events are great.
There's a lot of cool ones popping up. Uh, it
was a great event. I really don't I think other
than that, Like I'm just talking about the event a
little bit. There was doughnut bars, there was dad bars.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
People are giving out product left and right, edibles, you
get the chocolate, people with backpacks just handing out joints
like people.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
There was they had people with trays giving out weed.
Like it was just such a fun little time to
just get some free product, enjoy some of these people's product.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah, but it's like you were just saying, people are
just giving ostuff. Yeah, there's like people just walking in there.
There's boxes just getting stuff out, like small boxes like
a box. The pets out samples and we got some samples.
One brain gave it to us and they're like, I
don't know about that sample. No, when I tossed. But
for the most part, well you got to look at
what you get.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
But the whole point is that people are going there.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
To put That was a random person. It wasn't advertise.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Martial art it's not about sales there and that's why
I liked about it. And so anyways, yeah, but you know,
events are cool. They're popping up Dream this weekend, the
Toke Float next weekend, and then I know there's Summer
and Smoke Out in three weekends I think from now
three or two, which is the up shout out the
uper Cup. If you're up in the up, definitely go.
I play Saturday at Shit two or three, two thirties
(07:20):
somewhere around that time, Saturday afternoon at the Dabs tent.
We'll rip some dabs. We'll have some fun. But yeah,
I'm trying to get Dave to enter the uper Cup
take hope and get another trophy. Really you should you?
Why not? Man? And I'm getting a judge kit, so
that'll be fun. I mean we'll be judging, but if
it's your button, we'll have to like we can't enter
any points on that cop but we always keep it legit,
(07:42):
keep it legit, but unfair and uh yeah, so Summer
and Smoke Out, but and then after that, I think
it comes a little bit in the fall, but best
in grass this competition. We're gonna judge today they do.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
A live event yeah, I mean I like their event
last year. Last year, Yeah, it was pretty couel at
Royal Loge. This year is potentially we were talking even
with h with somebody else about this that they might
be having able to be a smoke on sight there
as well too, so that'd be kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, and that's more of the venue. So that is
the venue so AnyWho. But like it was anyways, the
event press, it's a it's more of like a ball
right or like an award show truly in that grammy
type of style, you know, like you everyone's dressing up
and stuff, so it is different brings that little uniqueness
to it. Yeah, I think it's cool.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
I like it's it's different than some other award shows. Right,
it's Royal Oak.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Too, Like you just don't hear a lot of like
camage events in Royal ever. So for me, I was like,
right off the smoking outside, no problem last.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Year Yep, it was right, it's right off. So it's
pretty sill. Chill spot, chill spot. I'm excited. Do you
want to jump into this?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Uh the live demo? Yeah, I mean we're gonna do
a live review while we're at it, So it's kind
of a win win, So so how you do it?
Hit me the card please if you don't mind, Thank
you my friend. So you get this kit, you get
the kit right and bag that showed you. Ye have
the bag, You get the bag. This card comes in
along with product. It's kind of hard to see the focus.
(09:08):
It basically has instructions on here along with a QR
code to basically get you to the website or you
just go right to bestinggrass Dot app backslash Judge. Okay,
so when you get to that site, it'll have you
register your name, just kind of make a password like
a general log in for a website. Oh, actually, let
me pull it up. What am I doing? Sorry about that?
(09:30):
There it is so here it is. I'm gonna pull
down the lower third for a little bit so we
can see it a little bit better. So when you
come in, you log in, and then once you log in,
you'll you'll get this screen that pops up that basically
says like what you see right now on your screen
here the top right corner says ad kit. As you
can see, we have our kits already added. So we
(09:51):
have ours from last year. We did flowers Sativa. Yeah,
I can't really point in my mouse, but you can
see at the top, so that's completely tens for when
you hit ad kit, it asked you to put in an code.
So the code is and it says and enter that's
the code you want to enter. It doesn't actually say
the word code by it, but enter this and and
your kit will get auto at it, which I think
is nice, super simple, and then once you're added in,
(10:13):
you'll get you'll have a screen like this where you
can see your judge kit and then you individually just
judge each one. Pretty straightforward. We did a couple already
where you do them. We have them data and an excel.
We're just going to do them later because we had
our own judging system. We're just going to enter it later.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, we're doing it two different ways, which is cool.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I want to do the demo, you know, we like
to do the demo.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
So this is so you're seeing on the screen right now,
you're searing the different strains that we are, the different
companies of product that we are trying U were today
we're going to be doing the Fresh Canna Moon Rock.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
It's a bubble gum to bubble Gum Live Resent Moon
rock as was. It says on the live Rosin is
what it says on the website, but on packaging it
says live Rosin.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Oh shit, okay, so mate, I want I'm curious.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Then I think it was probably just a one letter
typing air. That's probably all it was. But I just
want to let you know. So it is this one
and the same, that's all I was pointing out. You're
absolutely right, So let's do this. We actually haven't done
this yet because we did our own system and we're
just going to excel or enter the excels in later.
So you hit judge and this is what you get.
So it looks like appearance is out of one out
of ten, which is stars, but it's one out of ten,
(11:21):
Aroma one out of ten, flavor one out of ten.
Select the flavors and aromas you noticed the most. I
remember this last time I enjoyed this. Yes, I remember that.
I totally forgot that. That's really cool because even in ours,
it's more of a number system and we just discuss
correct right. But since you're data entering it, this is
so much more simple than having to type out what
you feel. As long as with them digesting that and
(11:43):
setting all that info.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
And it looks like they expanded on the flavor or
the different types of aromas and flavors that I think
there's more little bars you can choose.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
I remember they do give us a detail section too
as well, so.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Because I remember last year we were Michigan was the
first competition that you ever launched. When he launched Best
in Grass, Michigan was the first state to start it.
So it looks very similar. But to me, it looks
like there's a couple of which is good.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I can't really read the next one, say, effects, Yeah, effects, rate,
You're sorry, it's like small on my screen. Rate your
experience with potency and effects of the of the product,
so basically like how high you exactly? You know what
I mean?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
And then it goes into select how you felt after
testing the product, and then you're oh.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Wait, so hold on, so rate your experience with the
potency and effects of this product versus how you felt. Okay,
so how high are you versus like, what what's the
buzz you're feeling? Gotch you gouys?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
And then it goes to rate your overall experience with
this product and how likely would you recommend this.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Product with our recommended repurchase. So a lot of these
categories are pretty much similar to what we do. So
that's why a lot of times we just you know,
entered in later a little more granular. So yeah, let's
get to judging, man, let's check it out, right, Is
that what we want to do?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah? I think so, I think I think that sounds
like it groovy.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
So we got two grams of moon rock? Can I
see it as well? Yes, sir, because you want to,
you say, I'll so the one thing I will point out,
we're gonna go a little deeper into appearance because when
you look at a moon rock, it sure it looks
pretty off rip right. Actually, you know what, I'll pull
this on in the cannic can shoe, so y'all can
see it real quick. I'm gonna flip in between each look.
(13:28):
But here it is. So here's the moon rock itself. Right,
So there's the moon rock pretty of course, I mean
it looks keify. But something we've learned from some one
of our partners is you really got to look in
the moon rock to see if the keif's good. See
if the the live Roslin resident whatever whatever it is,
the flower good because sometimes it just looks pretty. Of
course it's gonna get you high. It's a lot of TC,
(13:49):
so you can talk to it. I'm gonna try to
break this, yeah, so break this.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
What you're seeing Groovy do right now is he's breaking
open the the moon Rock and this is the Bubblegum
Moon Rock by Fresh Canna. It's got keith on the outside.
Looks like I can't really see if you got a
little rock, can you see the live resin in it?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Or it's a little hard to see without the focus.
So actually not as much. I like when you can
used to be able to see like a layer of
live resin or is just covered straight in the keith. Yeah,
but usually you get oh there, okay, if you peel
back the live resin, peel back to keith a little bit, yeah,
I thought, yeah, I see a little bit. You can see.
(14:31):
It's kind of hard to see on the screen with
the focus. The focus keeps auto focusing, but there's definitely
live resion in there, which I'm glad. So we did
another one earlier in the competition that be straightfor I'm
not gonna throw the company on the bus. But like
I didn't even feel like there was any live resent
in it. We smoked it. It just kind of tastes like
keif in a little bit like hashy. Yeah, so there
(14:53):
was definitely hash in it, but not a lot either.
So it was like, you know, very unique because when
you're doing moon rocks, there's no like when you do
and donuts. There's kind of like ratio. It smells like bubbleicious.
Really holy shit, it does wonderf's added terps. Yeah, that'll
that'll just go against the taste score. It's a little
(15:14):
you know, so it does smell just like.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
The visual appearance. I mean, overall, it looks like it's
pretty good, right, I can't knock nine eight nine in
the visual appearance, I mean it looks good.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
It's I kind of I will say that I love
when a moon rock like especially. I won't say, you know,
just keep loving the partner. But when you break there,
when you can almost see the resid, I like when
you can see a little bit more so I think
there might be like light light resid But it's definitely
not bad. I think eight is totally reasonable because it
looks it looks nice. Yeah, that smell though it's weird, man, Like,
I don't know how I feel about that. So then yeah,
(15:45):
then you just click your stars and they pop up
like that. E's a busy to be straightforward with you.
I'm a little turned off by the smell. I know
some people might be impressed, but like, weed should not
smell like that in my opinion, So let me a phrase.
I not I have never smelled weed that like that.
You know, I've never smelled bubble. Yeah, it's kind of
(16:07):
like a so and the fact that I I mean, like,
I think some people would be like, oh, it's a
really potent smell, so it should be high. But it's like,
I just it's it doesn't smell right. So I don't
how to explain that, right, because there's nothing wrong against
French cana. I'm just wondering if there's added turps at all,
that's crazy. If you have bud smelling like that, then
(16:28):
please let us know, because that's shit's crazy. I want
to try the flower and rosin like because it's smells
like I could smell the tell from here. Yes, So
what do you think? Man Aroma? Like, I'm honestly going
to go with like a five, but like the six
because I'm second guessing a little bit, but that's only
because of my own judgments on bubble gum general. I've
never smelled bud like that. Yeah, curious how it's gonna taste.
(16:51):
What do you think? Um six seven? All right, and
then we'll go in to taste so we'll see what
it's like. Yeah, and again I'm not trying to knock
any company specifically by any means. If you like doing
the added terps, and I'm not saying Fresh Cannon does,
I'm just a little shell shocked on how much it
(17:12):
smells like bubble gum. The only time I've ever smelled
something like this was with edit turps. So that's why
i'm a little because I saw rosin and I was like,
oh shit, solveless. But that's why they say rows and infused.
There's no solvent list because if there's added terps, I
don't think that. I don't know. So someone from Fresh
Canon is watching this, let us know. We're always curious.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah, taste, It tastes like bubble gum on the try
it No shit.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I mean, what do you think it smells like? It's it?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I mean, it is it added bubble gum.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
They're not wrong. It smells like bubble gum. And again,
I this is just my own judgment on it, because,
like I'll be honest, like I like my weed to
smell like weed, you know what I mean, A lot
of people do. Like you used six or seven. I
was gonna go down to five because, like I'm just
I don't know, I like weed to smelling taste. Like
I was litally about to go down to five without
even asking. I just went down. But I just because
(18:10):
I needed to smell like herb sometimes when it's covered up,
I'm like, what's the point, you know what? People like
my sister like that.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
People I'm saying, there's a huge.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Community and don't smoke weed. Like she really just hits vapes,
you know, when she wants to get high. She doesn't
even smoke flower, which is mind blowing to me, you
know what I mean, different generation. Oh wow, I haven't
heard that in a while.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I'm just trying to taste the bubble gum. Mhmm, some
hash where some moon rock, my fresh canna.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
This is so weird, Like it's just weird to feel
like I'm smoking bubble gum. It's heavy bubble.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
It's like reminds me of bubbleicious and the thin container
where you do the whole foot nice.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I don't know if I like it, dude, I mean,
it's just so unique, I because I don't. It just
tastes like added turps to me. And maybe I'm wrong.
If you have your weed tasting like that, that's crazy,
but I just I'm not not a fan of it
tasting so much like bubblegum. Like even when we taste citrus,
but weed, it's still got the citrus in it. It's
not like just it even yours still sakes like weed.
That doesn't even I don't taste weed, and I think
(19:30):
that's my issue with the taste. Yeah, and again, as
we always say, we're always willing to try the company
multiple times. We never just knock a product once and
never try it again, because you should never just have
a bad experience and be like that's it, you know,
because sometimes things are just different. You know. We always
(19:51):
tend to do reviews multiple times for different companies.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Like Flavors and aromas. I'm noticing in this, you know,
it would.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Be like what you what numbers you give her for flavor.
I'm still debating in my head currently, I'm at like
a five man, I don't. I don't like it tastes
like weed. This is a little weird. Yeah, I'm probably
right around there with you. And that's just because it's
not like it's it's awful tasting. It's just overpower the
bubble gum. Dude, it's not like it's awful. It tastes
like bubble gum. I just like it. You know what
(20:22):
flavors aroma? Do you smell bubble gum? Yeah? I don't know,
you know what I mean? Like, I don't know. Is
there bubble gum? There is not, there's not.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
There's buttery, chemical, chocolately, citrus, diesel, earth, earthy, floral, fruity, lavender, minty, nutty, pepper, pine, skunk, sour,
sweet spice. There is sweet, tangy vanilla, and woody fruity
bubble gums like fruity. Is it be sweet and like
(20:52):
fruity to me? Okay, sorry, I can't see it on
this screen.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
I'm looking back. I don't. I don't want to feel
like we'll just keep ragging on this. But like I
just bud.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
The bud broke out nice. The but yeah, it looked
like good bud though, so at least they did put
some good flour in it, because that's some of the
things I was more concerned about, because a lot of
people have covered uh that's the lib rezin. A lot
of people have covered the or whatever. It is a
bad bud sometimes with stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
So yeah, because I swear I tried the rosin or
a dad once and it wasn't bad by any means.
But again, I'm just very curious if if you really
got something to taste like this, I'll shove my mouth.
But I also don't necessarily I enjoy gassy stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
So yeah, this isn't even up your tur profile either.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
As I said, it's hard to be a little biased
when I'm already like not into sweet bud and then
it's like overpowering, So it's like eh.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
So the next categories rte your experience of the potency
and effects of this product.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Mild. Yeah, I would say it feels superstone man, it's.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Stronger than the other one we did. I've at least
get a little bit more fat little hash.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Yeah, that one.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
That one didn't really hit me too much. I'll be honest.
That one was pretty.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
About the same one with that one as this one.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yeah, probably right around like a five.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Uh, yeah, I really do. Yeah, it's not the best.
It's just weird for my brain to be smoking weed
and tasting gum.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
But anyways, I think some people like that, and that's
why I said, do not take this. I am a
little more biased because of the strains. I like the
stuff I like. I like a lot of like just
straight dabs, So I'm not just gonna sit here nag
Fresh Cans, Fresh Cana has some other products that are good.
I just don't necessarily the bubble gum stuff looks like
how you felt after hearing the product.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
I'm mellow.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I'll just go with whatever you got mellow and calling
yeah mello. No, I mean I'm chilling like I don't
feel like lit yeah yeah, no, No, it's definitely more
of a call mean, but I guess the thing, it's
just calm. It's not really if you're gonna get if
you like this type of if you like that flavored
overall experience, man five or man, it wasn't would ever recommend,
(23:12):
Probably not, I don't know how much. Unless you would,
I would say if if.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
You like the flavored stuff, yeah, if you like.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
If you like vapes, like if you're into like the
flavored vapes, specifically, like the ones that taste like, you
know whatever, they want to call it blueberry or whatever
that's up that as added terms and you know it,
then you'll probably enjoy the product. So for people like
my sister who are like the vape only don't really
like to smoke weed, maybe this is your stuff. Yeah no, no,
absolutely so I would recommend it to some people, but
(23:46):
not to people who really really love wheat taste. The
taste the wheat correct, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, man, so that's
what I would say. And then details strong bubble over powering.
I guess, yeah, what strong bubble gum smell.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
The moon rock looked nice over, but that that bubble
gum smell was very very bubble gum. They ain't kidding
when they say bubble gum. I wish it was like
like bubba cush or some type of bubba that would
have been sick. But the strains actually called it. It
(24:28):
just says bubble gums. I don't even know what the
train's going.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yeah, that's why I feel like it's added turps, but
I don't know. So we had that and then you
just hit submit and boom, you're done. Oh, we gotta
make this small so you see it and then when
you're done complete, it goes complete, it goes to the bottom.
That's what I was trying to find you and that's.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Yeah, so we got a couple more will fill out,
but we want to give you all a little user
and experience, a UI experience of what it is to
judge or be a part of the Best and Grays
competations want to come back next year, and there's like
a category or kit you want to get. This is
what you go into and it's unique. I mean, you
get the find out. I mean you're trying a bunch
of products, damn. And yeah that was my espresso.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Yeah, I got Palate cleans for sure, like I do. Yeah,
you know, and uh, every competition is a little different, yep,
absolutely so always cool to see the different ones, like
the different entry. Excuse me, I'm trying to get to
the different entries because I'll be honest, I don't know
if I've ever seen fresh cannon a comp So that's
what's Every competition is a little different. Summer focused towards metric,
(25:28):
and when they're focused towards metric, you just never know
what you're gonna get Yeah, there's so many brands out there.
I mean there's a couple of brands that I haven't
even heard of in there.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yeah, and then there's a lot of collabs that go
within the brand, because you might have someone that has
the Flower than someone that's doing.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
The content trades the collab with Alien Tech. Yep, speaking
of that, I'm gonna do some of that jealousy Jerry's.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
But overall, I hope you enjoyed the review. Obviously, this
one did not pass our review as well, so we'll
be uh, we'll be telling you about our favorite one
when we get there.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Stay tuned.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
They'll be probably on Awaken Banks or whatever episodes that
we released. So again, that was the Best in Grass
user interface review.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Good, good ship, and sneeze. So yeah, I mean a
lot of double sneeze, double the action, double back. That's
how he wins his cups, is how he does his sneezes.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I do them back to back, usually sneezes. Sometimes sometimes
you get that three people.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
But to circle back to what we were talking about prior,
since we're talking about Best in Grass, all these cool events,
they're NonStop. Man, this is the summer time in Michigan. Man,
So this is the time.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Too, there's like one like I feel like there's one
like every other day every week.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Yeah. Yeah, this past week was crazy. We missed a
couple and there is still you know what I mean,
which the Top Shelf Showdown or whatever it was last
week and then.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
That was Thursday, day before mats and then he had
Cannon Con the same week in his MATS.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Which again, like since you mentioned Cannon Coon, we've been
getting a lot of messages about this, so I got
to bring this up. I heard it wasn't as popping
as Detroit at all. We didn't get to go so
not have an experience, and we used to do media.
So it's a it's just a bummer that they took
that year off and now it's gonna be hard to
kind of get that resurgence, especially in Lancing. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
I think I think taking the year was it was
it a year or two? I don't I know, it's
one for sure, but like taking the time off and
then not being in the market I think might have
definitely hurt. Obviously, we didn't reach out for tickets because
I knew we had the one event and then there's
too many Lancing. Then yeah, it's plus it's too many,
too many where you have other events. Then time off
we have to take too for our day job, so
(27:29):
there's only aluminitu amount of days that we could really
take off. But heard it wasn't as went today, but
like we have to do this work.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Yeah, yeah, And I just think what's fascinating me is
the Lancing move because it's like metro troid I thought
made kind of sense. Well, I don't necessarily get the
Lancing move.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
It's interesting you say that because the Flower XPO was
in Lancing last year twenty twenty four, and now it's
coming to Detroit. Cannon Kim was always in Detroit and
went out to Land. But the last time we went
to Canacon, honestly, I think it was twenty three. It
kept getting smaller and smaller and smaller, so maybe they
just didn't want.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
To rent the cot. I wonder what the reason why
I brought this up is. I think you're right with
the shrinking thing, only because I feel like you're seeing
more business get done at these smaller grassroots events like
Michigan Mats events. You don't need these giant corporate events
where you can't smoke at like like I know the
span of is they only did that this year because
(28:28):
of it was their last year. But if you go
go to a business conference with we didn't like that.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Well, I think you need the areas. Like even at
Cannacon there wasn't like the smoking session wasn't big when
it almost felt like you weren't supposed to be right
like I'm j Biscon's welcomed. Yeah, there's dedicated like you know,
that's where conversations happened. This just gets done out there,
absolutely absolutely, and that's what you need if you're doing
In my opinion, that's what you need when you're doing
it like a B to B event like that, and
(28:56):
you have it inside because a lot of people that
you want to be able to have the conversations, you
want to try product.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Also, a lot of us smoke weed. So what do
you think they want to do. They're gonna go outside
smoke weed, man, So half the business That's why I
like member BISCON when we went years ago, they didn't
care about the smoking section. Then you know you have
the scan yours badges to get in the smoking section
because they realize that's half the fucking conference. Yeah, because
really the conference floor is for if you're trying to
sell something or buy something. Yeah, showcase of product that
(29:22):
you want someone to buy. Even for us man, we
only spend limited time out there. There's so much networking
people to meet up.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
As we've grown.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Yeah, well just that first year we didn't know what
we were doing, but just as we grew that second year.
I'm just talking about in general. It's just that the
floor for these conferences like canna Con, they're dedicated for
like I need a new grow machine, right, So like
biscon makes sense where you hub everyone from the international
Michigan is like they're just a traveling show. So you're
(29:48):
not going to travel to each show. You're just gonna
go to the one that's local. So now you're only
directing towards that niche. But then now you've got to
convince all those people to drive to Lancing from Illinois,
from Indiana, and like.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
That's tough, No won because they have their own them too.
I think, Okay, so you're you're right, No, you're talking
everyone in Michigan's got to come in Ohio, I guess.
I mean here's the thing. Lancing to me, I think
is like not a bad meeting point. I just think
taking the time off kind of hurt them. I didn't
see much promotion behind it.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
I didn't even know it was this weekend.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
I only knew because of our one of our one
of our stream yeah lucks it comes suits in our
streams all the time, was telling us about it a
couple of weeks ago. I didn't really know they were back.
So like, I think they had like a different marketing
attempt than you know, because like we didn't.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
I don't think we got to email, to do media
or anything this time, like a follow up or anything.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
So like, I mean, I don't know if the same
lady that was working right doing it fair, but it
was different to see that.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
No, I think it's just what I was trying to
point out, how popping that grassroots Michigan Mad event was
was to compare to like the B to B only
events like what Harry did with the meeconnect puff kind
of blending. That is that what I'm talking about, man,
that's beautiful, beautiful merging of real like how we do business,
how we are versus Like here's a setup, you know,
(31:05):
you know, there's a room where you can party, but
there's other rooms. It's not too crazy, like.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
You can smoke everywhere besides the natural business.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
When you smoke weed with weed around, you know what
I mean? Like yeah, because most people don't want to
smoke weed. Especially if you want people to try your
stuff or see it, you can make hey look at it,
try it later, and then how you're gonna do business
if they don't even know how your shit is? You know?
So absolutely, I just think that it's the cannon Con
MJ Biscon model is just tough.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
I think it's slowly gonna evolve. Sounding like the reaper.
I think they're slowly going to go away in time.
I think I think hair evolve. It's they're gonna have to.
I think Harry's how he does it is how some
of these are going to.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Have to go, like just on a large scat. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Like the Flower Expo is kind of similar because when
I went to that, that's that was outdoors. You can purchase,
you can try product, you can blaze it.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
That was the one where it was limited and shout
out dab cowgirl. She's promoting the floor expo that great.
People check her out if you haven't. If you're a
bud tender or you're around the dispensary or anything like that,
and you want to be involved, reach out to us
or reach out to dab calgirl directly on Instagram and
she'll say.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Yep, yeah, that's the one I went out to last
year and Lansing and then it was more of like
it was outdoors smoking. So now this year it's in
Detroit and you're able to smoke it. I think I
think that is key for these bigger events, like you
need to have not big this events for you need
to be able to have. You need to be able
to smoke and get it done, and that's why you
sell the Probably the low turnout. I don't know if
it's low, I can't com but that's what sounded like
(32:37):
low turnout. If I came in and I get it,
then that's all I gotta say. And I get it
to some degree that you know you want to separate
it because oh, we're doing business. We can't be like
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
But it's like, that's not how the weed industry works, man,
Like you mean business means we've been and done, or
like if we go with our partners, we smoke first,
or we're smoking while we're talking. It's almost like a
bunch of guys back today, big big of this disgus
and the smoke and the disguise while they do the business,
Like that's the same idea. You're just like passing it around.
It's one godfather, I don't know what it was. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(33:12):
but it's my mob boss. But I'm feeding my ducks
at the pool. Yeah. Anyways, but you get my point though.
What I'm trying to say is it's kind of like, uh.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
It is shick and stuneness that people talk. I mean
it was back at trap days. Man, people smoke. That's
what you do.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
People. I think it's just social. Social is natural, like right,
you know, and that's that's or social smoking is social.
Excuse me, not natural in it for me.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
If you don't want to smoke, you know, you just
pass it, yeah exactly.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
I think Biscon would be really beneficial. They had like
a sweet ventilationism and you can blaze in there. But
I also think the venues can be like you're no,
you spend one hundred and hundred thousand dollars cleaning this
up then, and they're like no, that's what they're like.
You have a smoking section in like five areas. Yeah,
and Biscon, you know, does a little bit better because
like again it's it's Vegas, it's outdoors, it's nice, everyone's
you know, everything's a little more looser, you know what
(34:04):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Yeah, I'm curious how long how much longer cannoncont stays
around me because eventually, as all the states get legal, you're
only going to have so many more states you can
go to, you know, because it's great for the states
that are just going legal or just going medical, you know,
because you're able to see the products, see these brands,
see what you need to build a company, you know
what I'm saying. But as the states go bigger, like nowadays,
(34:27):
like Michigan, like you're probably seeing that lower turnout and
they got to plan in a good area and have
marketing behind it.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Yeah, it's because there's how many events going on. And
also like if you're gonna do it, don't do it
in the summer when there's so many other things to
go to because no one's gonna go spend that money
and do it because there's a free I can go
get a bunch of free bud this week in Detroit
and get a hotel or I can go to you
know what I mean, I don't even know who knows
if they even My whole point is if Cannoncon would
have came in it like fucking February, people might have
(34:54):
been like, I got nothing else going on, you know
what I mean. Like, so the model is like you're
when you're bringing more competition, you know you're gonna get challenged.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Summer works Room in the past, and then slowly kind
of went away from them. I think they used to
do like JUNI or August, and they.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Well because there wasn't as much competition. Actually circle you
have all these grassroots events where I can do the
same about a business but then get a bunch of
pre rolls and leave.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
But there are a bunch of social content too. You're
getting too from everyone that's out there. It's insane, Like
when you go to one of those events and you're
having comparison. And I remember when we brought when we
had Matt on for the giveaway, we even talked about
briefly or the where he said there was another event
going on the exact same day, and you're right. You
go to his event and you have the exact same
reach potentially within that canacon and more, and you actually
(35:36):
people try on your product networking.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
It's a vibe. Yeah, man, it's a perfect mesh man.
And that's I think that's what we're just.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
That's all I was trying to point out is that
I think the models got to evolve because, like you said,
you're already seeing the decline.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
We watched it. I kept telling you, and you know,
I'm like, dude, I literally do events, man. I can
see how they re segmented this room. Like I've worked
in Cobo or whatever it's called the week or whatever,
it doesn't matter, whatever it's I don't know. I couldn't
keep whatever bank owns it this week, you know what
I mean? Like, oh should I didn't realize You've been
(36:11):
on the screen the whole time. I was kind of
like half paying this is you just nodding to oh well,
but oh my my frames.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Are that's why it's not working. That's interesting, too funny,
But yeah, I will see. Who knows if I bet
you won't come back next year if it was that bad.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
I will see, man, Because I get the thing is
like it's just it's an obvious for profit thing. And
then when you go and the feedback is negative and
it's very B to B like, it's very not welcoming
to consumers. You know, there's not giveaways. There's the smoking section.
I mean, I don't know how lancing was, but so
I just hope, uh, you know, people start figuring it out.
But or and then for me, I'll be honest. We're
(36:48):
a grassroots podcast. You know, we're not some big you
know follower, got millions of followers personally, you know, we
developed this kind of together as we developed Canadave and Groovy, like,
it's all been kind of the same time growth. So
it's you know, grassroots man. Of course I support the
grassroots man.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
Fuck yeah. But yeah, no, why he's saying that. I
appreciate every one of you that listens, follows, shares, likes,
our comment likes our stuff, follows our stories. It takes
time for what we're putting in. So I hope I'm
enjoying you all enjoying some of it. And like I said,
we have a new segment coming out, and we have
some possible new segment mini series that we're gonna be
doing with summer.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Yeah, like build a network on a bit. We have
a lot of we're working on some stuff.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
A lot of stuffing in the back end, behind the lines.
So but I appreciate it you.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Oh yeah, Manya'm not really sure what else I was
going to talk about that kind of that's what I had.
I forgot. We didn't look up news articles, so that's
all we had. I wonder, there's anything going on in
the news, look it up live, catch you on the fire.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
No.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
I meant to do that, but I totally forgot.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
Like yeah, no, I mean, uh, it's We're halfway through
the summer pretty much here in Michigan. There's probably gonna
be much more events coming out through the next month
and a half. I'm excited talking about events.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
A lot of carrier events, a lot of metric events.
They're everywhere right now.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Yeah, there's been some good, good product out there, some
good some good donus, some good rosin, a lot of
good stuff out there in the metric market, in non
metric market, thinking.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
I do like, I mean, there is one article this
is Michigan woman caught with Michigan marijuana faces prison while
man with fifty six plants is set free. And I'm
not going to get into the article, but I just
do like to point out that that is the confusing
thing about this industry right now, with all these gray
areas and it's still being scheduled one. But it's you know,
there's too much you get. Yeah, some people and heard
(38:47):
they're getting blocked right now. I don't know how true
that is. That it's been like he needs to be descheduled, man,
because none of all this other By the time it's done,
they're like, all right, discheduled two. I'm like, what, yeah,
I mean a lot of them talk about the same thing.
I mean, so we can kind of talk about this
a little little bit. There's like three articles that are like,
Michigan's market declining, Michigan markets is over supply, is causing issues,
Michigan is over losing money go for the fourth month straight.
(39:10):
So all that's true, Michigan's market has declined. Although we
are seeing successful companies be successful. Sounded dumb. We are
seeing yeah, it didn't make sense. We are seeing companies
who care and put a lot of quality into their
quality product out being successful. Ess I should say, you
just can't come in and grow goad no money. And
I think sometimes these articles go off numbers, right, just
(39:32):
seeing the numbers go down all these less companies last year,
so they must be declining. But I think what you're
doing is seeing the fizzle out of all the garbage
ass companies. You know what I'm seeing saying like you're
seeing all these bad players and some of these people
who like not all bad players.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
That's how you're seeing companies leave, Like Tear Sun that
was gauge and cookies officially has now left the market,
our market because it's not profitable and you didn't see
the quality that they brought.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
And again I'm not even just to call it terrorist
on the ownason why I clapped, because you're starting to
see these big players who don't care. And that's the
one thing I love about Michigan is that we give
a shit about our quality here. I'm not saying every
state is the same, but I just know that because
we have the medical market that was strong, there are
some people who really care about quality here. So's we
try to keep that the standard for all the people
(40:20):
who don't know shit about shit about weed, you know
what I mean? Maybe places like New Jersey, I don't know,
I don't know how their underground market is right, but
because it's chokeholded, maybe it's a little different. But when
you have that strong caregiver market or underground market prior
to that, I feel like there's a different vibe.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Yeah, because we do a lot of quality, but also too,
when you're that big and you're growing that much and
you're losing out on all your pounds and stuff and
you're not selling product because of the people know quality
and different, different stuff, you're gonna lose out quick and
you don't have to go to a different stag, which
makes sense. That's why you see some of these big
players doing. It sucks when some of the small people
lose too, because.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
It's not all bad players and some are good. I'm
not I mean that. I'm just saying it's nice when
you see the big players leave because I feel like
it gives a better chance. So then it does not
even calling out, you know whatever whatever ascent, I forget
what they're connected with, because I'm just saying, any of
these ones who just don't you know, just come in
see how much money they can make. Oh no money,
I'm gonna leave. Like some of these companies we meet
like this is their passion, this is their heart. They're
(41:17):
in this correction, real, real, reasons not. I mean that
sounds weird, real real reasons, but you know what I.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
Mean, Yeah, no, absolutely absolutely, it's not money. It's not
a money gram anymore Michigan is. And I should say no.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
And that's the thing. You're seeing the people with passion
stay and you're seeing some of these and that's not
that's in general. Yeah, so crazy.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
I did see that hitting the news now that we're
talking about that.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Three different articles talked about that, and I think it's
just because people are seeing the decline. But I mean,
at the end of the day, we knew this was
gonna happen eventually.
Speaker 1 (41:47):
Yeah, I mean at least that they haven't put it
more license, so we're still one on the top in
my opinion, mark No, But I mean.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
How long have we been talking about it's gonna start declining.
Now it actually is. And it's like that took a while.
It took like years longer than people thought, Like it's
been up and down, but like.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
You went legal in eighteen, I don't think licenses hit
until nineteen o six years. Yeah, twenty five started to
go down because we were still on the upward trend
even last year, even right before crops over.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
Yeah, man, So I think that's just something we're gonna
have to We're gonna see how the Michigan market handles it,
you know, Yeah, because an auditorium on licensing is kind
of difficult too, because I don't necessarily want that anything.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
I think people just need to pay their bills. Oh
that's that's like something that's really hurting, because when you're
not getting paid money, then how can you operate it?
Speaker 2 (42:33):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
Like, so if that changed, then a lot of smart
players actually do a state.
Speaker 2 (42:38):
It's pretty wild that we work in a legal industry
where people were like just screwing people over or because
they got screwed over, now they got to screw the
next person over. So now now this person's not getting paid.
It's wild because in no industry can I be yeah, yeah,
let me borrow all that paper. I'm gonna go and
then I'll pay you later. No, Like, there's not many
companies like I mean, unless you developed some type of
(42:59):
relation working relationship with them where I can pay you
after or something. But most places want to deposit and
then payment.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
In full business business you should pay.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
It doesn't the whole non cash on delivery thing like
if you're not paying when you like le that's always
confusing me. Like thirty days or whatever, that's what if the
company goes under in thirty days? Grand, yeah, like it's
something no matter what, it doesn't. The model doesn't make sense,
(43:30):
you know, at least make a deposit. If you're gonna
do you need thirty days for the full fine, then
you pay half before you brop the product off and
then you you pay the other half by thirty days.
Like something needs to change because at least the half
thing makes sense, because I mean, if I'm from like
D daying a audio visual, I've got half. I've got
half payments, you know, and some of my bills have
(43:51):
done with audio stuff, like I've got a half up
front just like yo, at least half, right, yeah, man?
And like you make a working relationship, you know, you
go to these festivals, you play these games, MOULDI time
show like yeah, just pay me whenever, like you know,
I trust them, but like you if you just it's
just interesting because no other industry would you be like
cas cool. So yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy, you know,
(44:15):
is listening? Man? Just please please, we gotta do something
about people getting paid in this industry and surviving fact,
otherwise you're not gonna have a job. It's fun.
Speaker 1 (44:26):
It's fun that will me and you were back in
the so please, I don't like the way that sounds.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
I mean, I still have the job.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
It's not this yeah, yeah, my day, Jo. I'm grateful.
I'm grateful.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
No, we're just talking. This is the dream though our passions.
But any it's all.
Speaker 1 (44:50):
I was about to say. It was like, it's nice
to just me and you recording. We haven't done the podcast.
It's us in the studio. We've had a bunch of
recently where we've been out from the live events. Get
back in the news article. There really just wasn't even
a lot, you know, there wasn't much terror. I mean,
the bain big thing was Terryten was closing up shop.
I mean they when Tarysent came in and bought bought,
bought cookies and gage because it was just gauge was
(45:11):
itself first, and then Tarryton came in and bought gauge
and cookies.
Speaker 2 (45:14):
And they're calling it over supply, which does kind of
make sense because you're seeing a lot of these people
grow as much as fucking possible to make as much
as money as possible, But then don't realize one's gonna
buy it just because you grow a lot good. Yeah,
if anything, exclusivity sells way more. I'd love to see
a jar when I see one out of thirty? What
do you mean one out of thirty, That's what I'm saying, Like,
I don't even understand that model.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
You should bring your prey. But it's a different it's
a different market, right, it's a different mindset, it's a
different mindset.
Speaker 2 (45:41):
It's a different consumer that they're tracking to, right, the
person buying the fifty dollars ounces, not fifty dollar grams
a hash.
Speaker 1 (45:47):
That's why I think long term, in general, I think
it's gonna be genetics that are going to stand out
and who has the unique genetics and different flavor profiles
because people are gonna start changing up because everyone grows
the same stuff. But once you have that unique market
of strains and.
Speaker 2 (46:00):
Stuff, I think the issue is we have too many
of those people trying to be that person going after
the cheap one. We need more people doing the quality
because the people going after those like the the people.
Because there's a lot of people that just smoke like
that one of the cheapest bud for the highest THC.
They don't care what it tastes like this, get me high, right,
and that's totally cool man. They don't need to be
like us, the kind of super crapic gives a shit.
(46:22):
But to me, we just need to level We just
need to level out how many of those players we have,
because you don't need thirty Walmarts we had? What do
you need like a Walmart, a Myer? You know you
need a few, right, But what you what we have? You?
You know you want a small lot. That's where you
need the specialty markets like where you go get specialty items.
Speaker 1 (46:41):
You know.
Speaker 2 (46:41):
That's how I'm looking at connoisseers stuff, yeah, versus like
just going along with general.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
But I'm also saying, like I agree, I agree with you,
but I'm as saying like, so you know how everyone
grows runs, right, Everyone grows the runs? Yeah popular, But
if you're going to grow runs, make sure you grow
that runs right. You know what I'm saying, because runs,
yes a unique taste. If your runs doesn't taste like
everyone's runs like it, no one's all that money grab
the growing runs? Yeah, exactly like you can't do that,
like people are getting away from that, you know what
(47:05):
I'm saying, Like you need to to keep your be
able to you can charge more for your pound and
people will buy it because it's actually tasting more like it.
Not maybe much more, but you at least have a
better favorite profile. But again to each throne, and I
hope all brands can do what they can do in
this market and navigate the waters that is happening right now.
So again I want to say shout out to our
partners that make this possible. Lost Coast Plant Therapy use
(47:27):
code my Cana twenty. Check out my recent video we
