Yeah, I'm hearing you.

Speaker 7 (01:18):
The little tipping about who you are and all about
like what you're about.

Speaker 5 (01:22):
And I'm looking there.

Speaker 8 (01:23):
Yeah, yeah, Masure, I didn't check before. I'm deab Cowgirl.
I come from Massachusetts. I work with the Flower Expo
out in Michigan, which is a business to business cannabis
expo that started in Massachusetts three years ago. When I
met them, I was working in field marketing and for

(01:46):
a ape company that when I left a couple months
later to go on an extended vacation, Jason was one
of the first people to reach out to me.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
To ask to work with me. So he was like, Hey,
will you be the face of my brand? And I
was like, absolutely, what a dream, But I'm going on
vacation first. So that was kind of when I started
with Flower Expo, and it was really like a slow burn,
but it brought me out to Michigan, which is actually
where my mother grew up.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
She grew up in Warren and then went t Yeah,
we grew.

Speaker 5 (02:22):
So that's where my mom grew up too. She was
born in the nineteen fifties. Actually, my mom's like seventy three.
She's really cool. She's actually like one of the first
female patent attorneys in the world. So lots of the
time people ask like Francesca, like how have you like
come so far in like the five years since, like

(02:43):
you started in the industry, like as a bud tender
and I'm like, well, like listen, like my mom's really impressive.
I kind of like don't have a choice. I gotta
work really hard. I work seven days a week, like
I can't live down. She's really cool. I gotta do
something with my life. And she's also older than most parents,
so I gotta get it done fast, like.

Speaker 6 (03:01):
Are the best. That's all I gotta say.

Speaker 5 (03:05):
Yes, I actually have like the luck of being raised
by lesbians. So all I got or moms. Unless you
follow me on my side account, egg cowgirl, I always see.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
I always see it every every morning, different eggs.

Speaker 5 (03:24):
So aside from the eggs, I'm documenting on there that
I got like some sort of ancestry or twenty three
and me, I can't remember. I think it's ancestry. And
I found like a relative and I can't remember her name,
but she is like definitely like the sister of the
sperm donor that my parents like used to create me.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
And I want to clarify an actual sperm donor because
some people will.

Speaker 7 (03:49):
Call, you know, deadbeat dads and stuff.

Speaker 5 (03:53):
I just want to clarify which is you, Like, my
culture is not a costume, okay, got you, Like they're
really you know. They my parents went to the sperm bank.
They read through binders and binders worth of information. They
actually saved all of the research that they did. And
when I was like eight years old, my mom handed

(04:13):
me a binder like this thick and goes here, this
is everything it took to make you. It took years.
I was like, damn, that's crazy. I'm like such a
I'm such a wild group project, absolutely nuts.

Speaker 7 (04:32):
They picked hair.

Speaker 5 (04:34):
It's so wild that they were able to genetically engineer that,
and I green hair green. I was I meant to
do this, you know, I'm surely blest. But one of
his sisters, one of my sperm donor's sisters, reached out
to me on like that ancestry thing and was like, hey,

(04:57):
who are you and why does it look like you're
my knee? And I messaged her back and I was like, so, like,
my parents are lesbians, So like one of your three
brothers has to be my sperm donor, because she mentioned
that she had three brothers and she only had one
niece that she knew of, And I was like, don't

(05:18):
you know him? But like one of your brothers didn't
tell you that he was up to making money in
some different ways.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
It's my favorite background we've ever had. Usually people were like,
you know, I got in the weed industry. No, She's like,
check this out.

Speaker 5 (05:33):
I got the weed industry. They made. We'll get into
the weeds step later. Like it's nice to meet you.
Like my name's friend. I was raised by lesbians, which
just makes me a second generation queer person, which is
really cool. There aren't that many of us like that.
My parents came out and I'm also out. Like that's very.

Speaker 6 (05:54):
Cool, absolutely, you know, yeah, that is I like it.

Speaker 5 (05:58):
Yeah, Like I'm very proud to be the child of lesbians.
And my mom like found me and my friends smoking
weed in my room when I was fourteen, and when
she started, was it your first? So actually I started
smoking weed when I was like thirteen or fourteen years
old because my group of friends stopped hanging out with

(06:21):
me because they thought I wouldn't smoke weed with them
because I had said I had no interest in smoking
weed in the past. And then they as soon as
all of my friends stopped hanging out with me for
two weeks, and I hit them up and I was like,
I think it was like Facebook Messenger or something, and
I was like, hey, like why you dude, Like, why
don't you guys hang out with me anymore? Because I
can see you're hanging out and like you're not inviting me,

(06:41):
and you're all like in my neighborhood. Because that's like
why we're friends is because we ride the bus together
one real and they were like and they were like,
we just thought you wouldn't want to hang out with
us because we're smoking weed. And I was like, I'll
literally do whatever drugs I have to in order to
make friends. I really don't care. I was like, please
don't leave me out out, Like literally, I was like,
whatever it is you're doing, I'll do it. I'll jump

(07:02):
off the bridge if I have to. I don't care.
Just don't hang out with me. So I smoked weed
for the first time, didn't get it. I was like okay,
and like there then I would like smoke weed at
parties with my friends because they wanted to smoke weed
and I could get it, and that made them like
me more. There was a little peer pressure there, you're

(07:25):
saying in the beginning, for sure, fear pressure, like wanting
my peers to like me. That kind of stuff was
kind of like why I did it in high school.

Speaker 7 (07:33):
That's a social aspect of cannabis, and like it.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
I'm glad you brought this up because there is that
kind of social pressure when you're young, right to do that.

Speaker 5 (07:40):
I feel like now it's like babing, but it's the
same idea.

Speaker 6 (07:43):
I think.

Speaker 5 (07:45):
I don't babe anymore. I quit babing. Oh really, yeah, yeah,
I actually I saw a meme uh that was making
fun of people who vape, saying that it's an adult
pacifier and that you should be embarrassed if you're a
full an adult and you're sucking on a passy in public,
and that like knocked it out of me. I just
started bullying myself, you know.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
And yeah, and honestly, with vaping with cannabis, I felure.
I never quite get high either, like the same way
you do off just like a dab or weed.

Speaker 7 (08:17):
I don't think it quite hits the same. Yeah, it's
like a little tease.

Speaker 5 (08:19):
Yeah. I have vape, like cannabis vapes because like they're
gifted to me and stuff like that. But I meant
like nicotinevapes oh yeah, yeah, like and the cannabis vapes,
I don't use them as a main method of consumption,
but like if you're traveling or something like if you're
in a rental car, like summer, when'd you start smoking weed?
How old were you? Oh?

Speaker 4 (08:38):
I was sixteen, Okay.

Speaker 5 (08:39):
So you weren't that far off.

Speaker 7 (08:40):
And it was seventeen because you were at spring break.

Speaker 6 (08:45):
So you were a spring break And then I smoked
with my aunt once.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
I think I forgot which one was before, and then
I got into it when we got into college together.

Speaker 6 (08:54):
So we're both pretty or we were older, we were
old or not young. At seventeen, we were about.

Speaker 9 (08:58):
I'm younger, so I've been smoking. We'd probably the least
amount of time we heard all of you.

Speaker 5 (09:02):
So are you old folks?

Speaker 6 (09:05):
I've been smoking mom since seventeen eighteen. We're thirty five.

Speaker 5 (09:09):
We're gonna years.

Speaker 6 (09:11):
I know that's a long time.

Speaker 5 (09:13):
We don't need to do that. The important thing is
that we're all timeless.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
Age ages of mindset facts.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
Yeah, so I got many a couple we talked talking
about what we got to ask this. We ask everyone
what's your favorite way to consume? And I'm going to
assume because of your name, but what's your favorit way
to consume?

Speaker 5 (09:35):
Cannabis, dabbing. My dog summer is dab or too, right.
I think every everybody eventually, like a flower, everyone eventually
is going to fall a little bit in love with dabbing,
you know, if they hang out with people who dab enough,

(09:56):
like in good concentrats. You know, yeah, exactly you.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
Yeah, Dad used to fuck me up.

Speaker 9 (10:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (10:05):
Whatever was in that ship in the beginning was not
all weed. Like.

Speaker 7 (10:08):
That ship was oh, no chemical butane wax a tain
tained turps.

Speaker 6 (10:14):
Yeah, dude, that was not good.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
It tasted if I closed my eyes and stuff was
so bad back in the day.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
I remember when I took my first das change a lot.

Speaker 7 (10:22):
Now, look at this ship that frame brought, so it's
it's changed a long.

Speaker 9 (10:25):
Yes, I took my first dab and I was with
a bunch of friends and like I was like requesting
like room temperature water. I was like really, I was
like giggling. I was just like I.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
Was having fun.

Speaker 9 (10:35):
I was like, oh my god, I need water, but
I have to be like room temperature.

Speaker 10 (10:40):
It was a whole thing.

Speaker 7 (10:41):
Room temperature.

Speaker 5 (10:42):
That's what Dad did you.

Speaker 6 (10:44):
I was literally hot.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
Like I wanted too cold.

Speaker 7 (10:46):
I was sweating so bad. I ripped off my shirt.

Speaker 6 (10:49):
I was sweating so bad.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
Yeah, I think you're with me.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
I was on your floor exactly where I was at
your living room, Flora.

Speaker 5 (10:57):
I was in San Francis. I was living in San France.
I was with my friends black. Yeah, I was living
in San Francisco. I was with my friend Alexi. Shout
out to my friend Alexi dad, so you can find
her on Instagram. She uh met me at Starbucks. We
were like working at Starbucks together, and we like very
quickly became friends because we just have like the same
kind of like wild energy and spirit about us. And

(11:22):
we would smoke a lot of weed together because I
discovered living in San Francisco when I was exposed to
weed in California through like the medical system that I like,
I very quickly I smoked at once one time, actually
after a DVT class with a girl who got into
the elevator with me and went, do you smoke weed?

(11:43):
And I, having no friends in the city, went absolutely, yeah.
Can we go hang out bowl? Yeah? I was like
I would literally do anything. Let's be friends, please. So
we smoked weed in her mini and I was like,
what is this? This is amazing. I was like, they

(12:04):
don't have this where I'm from because I had grown
up in Rhode Island. I lived in California until I
was six and then I moved to Rhode Island.

Speaker 6 (12:14):
Over I go different.

Speaker 5 (12:18):
This is my first time being like in the Midwest
for like long periods of time. So that musician, let's.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
Bring it to like why you're here because you're from Boston.
You've been all over, so a little bit of history
on your cammus. So what are you doing here in
the Midwest.

Speaker 5 (12:30):
I am here working with Flower Expo and then also
free Lancing. So Flower Expo is a business to business
cannabis xpo. What is like?

Speaker 7 (12:41):
What what was all about it? Because I know you
went last year, right.

Speaker 6 (12:44):
Yeah, I went.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
I made it one of the days. I think it
was the second day I made it, and it was
in Lancing. It was a pretty cool experience because it's
a consumer or just going in there.

Speaker 5 (12:55):
Is the one where they sold the front two bucks.

Speaker 6 (12:57):
Yeah, everything was like.

Speaker 5 (12:59):
And that's the only state where we've ever done it
like that.

Speaker 6 (13:03):
Usually they just gifted, right yeah, And that's.

Speaker 5 (13:06):
That's how we're doing it this year too. Things where
we were with the cra I remember here is we're
doing gifting. Yeah, this the CRRA is what the regulatory
agency is called in Michigan. Right, nailed it. So like
they way the way that they do, like the type

(13:26):
of event that we are classified as they had us
do a dispensary, but we're doing a private event this time.
That's how a little bit with at least that's how
I understand it, to be honest, Like you can't take anything.
Then I say with that like one hundred percent because
I work on like Flower Expo has five people who

(13:49):
work like full time hours with the team, and so
all of us are like very very dedicated to exactly
what we're supposed to be doing it all the time. Yeah,
So like I don't understand sports, but I do know
who Lebron James is, so I do very much like
when Jason uses this metaphor. But the founder of the

(14:09):
Flower Expo, Jason bellows to flatter me. Of course, he
says that I am like a Lebron James. So I'm
really good at like going out and talking to people.
So that's what he has me do instead of worrying
about the other things. So ask me like really detailed questions. Brother,

(14:30):
my job is to like make sure that you like
me and like us enough to come to the show.
Everything else is like, you know you're doing in Detroit
this time. Yes, I think we had feedback from people
that like we needed to do the show in Detroit,
like people who are really insistent on it.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
That's coming here for events already, so the people are
kind of already kind of used to figure out what
he has to do that through time and time again,
Lancing is just there's not.

Speaker 5 (14:57):
A lot of events.

Speaker 7 (14:59):
I'm not knocking Lance by any.

Speaker 4 (15:02):
I just moved to Lansing.

Speaker 5 (15:07):
No, no, no, no, I don't like.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
I love you, no, but for real, it's more or
less just like I think people come used to getting
Metro Detroit or sometimes you'll get the Grand Rapids, but
even then it's harder to get people out there.

Speaker 5 (15:19):
People are used to coming to Metro Detroit.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
So I think you're doing that great And I just
want to clarify because that's awesome that you Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
I think I think I recommended Detroit. When I was
talking to him, I was like, when I went last year,
I was like, I was hoping to be in Detroit
this year, and where's it at in Detroit this year.

Speaker 5 (15:34):
At the Detroit Shipping Company.

Speaker 6 (15:36):
Okay, the event as well to August.

Speaker 5 (15:38):
Twenty seventh and twenty eighth.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
So I believe it's next week. If you're listening to
this right now, I believe it will be next week.

Speaker 5 (15:45):
So yeah, you'll be the your calendar. Yeah, it's going
to be a great time. Even though it is next
week at the time that you're listening to this, you
can still apply for a ticket at the Flower Expo
dot com and we're gonna try to put some social
clips out center so you might be hearing, oh you
might be wearing a sinner. Hi. Friends, twenty seventh and
twenty eighth of August, please come to the Flower Exo.

(16:09):
Come hang out with me. It's a consumption event, it's
a it's a retailer focused event, so everybody from inventory,
bud tenders, owners, managers, buyers, reception, We want you guys
to come out to the show and just like really
get to enjoy learning about cannabis in an environment where
you're not worried about going back to work in ten

(16:31):
minutes to go deal with customers for ten hours, because like,
there are many struggles in retail and it's important to
have a show that's dedicated to retailers. So that's what
the Flower Expo is all about. And as somebody who
was working in like I guess Starbucks is kind of
like food retail, right, and then I went into bud tending,

(16:54):
right when I went into cannabis, I really appreciate having
a show that is focused on retailers in the retail experience.
So that's why you'll find that if you do look
to buy the general admission tickets to Flower Expo, which
are only available to people who work in the cannabis industry.
We are also like industry exclusive. We are not just

(17:16):
the industry focused. We're not open to consumers. I dig
it though, because that's how the that's how like the
actual business is getting made.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
You know, sometimes when you get the B two see events,
there's nothing wrong with them, but you tend to sometimes
get tend to sometimes you sometimes get those like just
trying to get there to grab as much product as
I can, where those these shows are dediticated by hey,
I'm giving out product, but I'm giving out product in
the sense of like hey, you'll do a buy, you'll
meet someone exactly, or you know, media that we'll talk

(17:46):
about it.

Speaker 5 (17:46):
There's some reason between marketing or.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
Sales, right, So you're there to generate revenue for businesses,
you know, and so that makes sense. So you're here
spreading the good word because we're doing in Detroit and
now I know this for a fact, but I'm going
to reiterate this for the podcast and all if we
where else are.

Speaker 5 (18:01):
They We're also in Illinois. You can come to our
Chicago show. That one's in September. Yeah, you can come
to our Chicago show in September. If you work in
the cannabis industry, if you work in retail, you get
a free ticket. All you have to do is apply
for your pass. Our Illinois show is going to be
at the Garrity. It's going to be gorgeous, really awesome.

Speaker 7 (18:23):
So basically like bud tenders and like there's like.

Speaker 5 (18:25):
Really yeah, buttenders get free tickets. Even if you are
a bud tender who is hearing this episode the day
before the show, you can get a free ticket. Just
email us if it's if the application is already closed.
The email ops at the flowerexpo dot com. Like if
you're a bud tender and you just got a job,
the day before, have your manager send an email for
you if there's no way for you to verify your

(18:46):
employment yourself. You know, like we want to get you
out there because you can get years worth of education
by talking to those brand reps in person. You have
an opportunity as a bud tender to talk to the wholesalers,
talk to the marketing team and get your questions answered.
And when you try new products, sometimes you have a
question right off the top of your head. And if

(19:06):
you're bud tending all day and then you get home
and you have the energy to try a new product
and like actually use your brain to think about it,
so that way you can tell your customers about it tomorrow.
If there's something that's like bothering you about it or
something that's really wowing you about it, you're not really
going to have the energy to look for the email
on the box and then send an email for feedback.

(19:28):
So like as like somebody who's exhibiting. I fell in
love with Flower Expo as an exhibitor. I was working
for pack Labs and we launched our gummies okay for
the first time, Like the national launch was at the
first Flower Expo in Massachusetts, and it was just such
a great way to launch a new product because by

(19:51):
the time it got to the disensories, there were already
so many bud tenders who had tried it. All the
buyers who would come had had samples.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
It also helps with education too, because educated on product,
which right on to the consumer, which is going to
help the industry grow and general.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
We're saying the consumers learn from Like maybe that's too
much of exaggeration, but.

Speaker 5 (20:12):
Let's get probably like fifty but still.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
But but that's because you know, not everyone's doing the
research and checking out podcasts and doing the research and actually.

Speaker 5 (20:21):
Looking for information.

Speaker 6 (20:23):
Spread us, spread, spread the spread our good words.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
Yeah, but slaying it bang Smacking's wing the cups.

Speaker 5 (20:34):
Ship.

Speaker 9 (20:35):
I was going I do have a comment though, I
think that's a great thing that you guys are including
the bud tenders in it, because I feel like they
are often excluded from a lot of different industry only events.
And oh so a lot of people in the industry
start out as bud tenders, you know, and.

Speaker 4 (20:52):
So there's a huge face exactly, you.

Speaker 9 (20:54):
Know, like so many people start out as bud tenders,
and you know, for a lot of people different people.
They're always looking for different growth opportunities, so that's a
great way for them to connect with different brands and
you know, other opportunities for advancement in the in the
space un percent.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
And then and I'm glad you brought that up because
I remember that's that's what it is. There's I said
eighty percent, but whatever percent is. They're a huge facing
part of your brand. So if that education comes from them,
it like it just gets you more sales in the end.

Speaker 5 (21:22):
You know, even if the buyer loves your product, even
if you're the buyer's favorite product, they can't bring in
as much of you as they want to. If the
bud tenders don't love and understand your.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
Brand one hundred percent, they're they're the face there are
people ask them when you go in. When I first
started getting the cannabis ice, the butttenders, hey.

Speaker 6 (21:38):
What do you recommend? What are some of the good
products out there?

Speaker 1 (21:40):
And those are usually what you do as a consumer
when you're going in and you're just getting into cannabis
or you want to try something different.

Speaker 5 (21:45):
When you're in a new market too, Like, the only
thing you have to go off of it is either
typing in like a brand name that you've never seen
before and read it into your phone, which like we
all know how trustworthy it can like be your baby,
you know, like that man's like you know, especially like
in a new state where you're like I don't know
these user names, yeah ball fifteen, Like are you? Who

(22:08):
is this guy? I don't know if I can trust it?

Speaker 4 (22:11):
My caniss.

Speaker 5 (22:13):
Spelled my who mechanic? Like who are So it's like
when you go into a new market, like the first
time I'm shopping in Michigan or the first time that
I'm shopping in Illinois, it's like I'm relying on what
the bud tenders are telling me, like these are the
best friends. This is my favorite. Like this is.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
Really good point because that's a big part of the
market is traveling to the people coming and then they
get even bigger percentage people who are just going to
learn from them.

Speaker 5 (22:40):
That's that's well, that's good point. You got some valid
points here. And it's like your average consumer. I only
have like two like really close friends that are like
outside of the industry, and like the moment that I
had been to Michigan, just once they started texting me
asking me for advice.

Speaker 7 (22:59):
I was like, guice, I'm not that.

Speaker 5 (23:01):
It was like I was like, I've been here for
vacation to buy weed once asking for advice, and then
it was like my friend asking for like a dispensary
recommendation in the Upper Peninsula, when I was like, Babe,

Speaker 5 (25:07):
Yeah, berries, they taste just like raspberries.

Speaker 9 (25:09):
I haven't tasted I haven't cracked open the jamberry yet.

I'll show your technology, do it. You got the monopoly melts.
Bust this out?

Speaker 3 (25:38):
So okay, So we kind of got up. We're gonna
keep getting off tangents.

Speaker 5 (25:41):
But that's what's happen.

Speaker 3 (25:43):
How you did hear Michigan and you know you've been
going to dispo spread the good word about Michigan Expo.
But obviously like flowers da Michigan Expo, the Michigan Flower Expo.

Speaker 5 (25:53):
I skipped the words Flower Xpo, Flower Excel, Michigan Flower
Expel Detroit and hit it with those tags.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
Yeah. But but you've been going to events too, because
thats where we've been seeing you bopping around.

Speaker 5 (26:05):
How do you liking the events out here?

Speaker 6 (26:07):
I love the party sum Yeah we do.

Speaker 5 (26:11):
There's parties like once a week. Yeah, it's been really
great and I feel like I see a lot of people.
I need a lot of new people, like people are
friendly generally, like in a good mood.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Like do you have the type of do you have
these type of events out in a mass Massachusetts thro
Oh yeah, okay, yeah, I haven't been to the massach.

Speaker 5 (26:31):
One thing that's weird for me is that in Massachusetts
we have like a weekly industry night at this consumption
lounge in Worcester called the Summit Lounge that's owned by
my friend Kyle Moon. So it's a consumption lounge. It's
a consumption lounge. So Kyle opened up a lounge where

(26:53):
you can bring your own weed and you can buy
like espressos, avogados, like peanut butter and fluff sandwiches, a
delicacy in Massachusetts for a Nutter.

Speaker 7 (27:05):
We are almost there, we do eventually. That's the big
part of this episode.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
I really want that we want to talk about Michigan
and mass Chusetts.

Speaker 4 (27:12):
Suff I got a perfect one right after.

Speaker 5 (27:15):
That's why I'm getting thoughts. And with the Michigan thoughts
on Michigan events. That's like every single Wednesday, he has
an industry night where like entry into the lounge is
half off, so it's five dollars instead of ten dollars,
and usually a brand will sponsor as well, so like
you'll get like face to FaceTime with those brand reps
and like you know, maybe some sample like I'm trying

(27:37):
like some stuff, like it's good. It's a great time,
so similar, that's cool. Like it's a great time, and
it's every week and it's at the same place, and
you like know where people are gonna be and you
get to try new stuff if you haven't like if
you're like if you're not that familiar, or you just
get to see your friends, like and even if you
don't work in the industry, you can pay the regular
entry fee to get in and like be a part

(27:59):
of it. Ten dollars.

Speaker 6 (28:01):
That's it is. This is this in Boston or outside Worcester.

Speaker 5 (28:05):
So Worcester is about an hour west of Boston, and
so Woostern, Massachusetts is actually where the smiley face was
invented in nineteen sixty three by a man named Harvey Ball.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
He insurance forst gump face.

Speaker 5 (28:24):
He gave him that that's stolen valor. It was Harvey
Ball and it was in Worcestern, Massachusetts. Was just a
stupid it was like an assignment from the insurance company
that he worked for. He was asked to draw something
that would spark joy, so like you know, yeah, he
drew the smiley face that invented happiness in Worcester, Massachusetts. Yeah,

(28:47):
a great place. It's also where like the WU Socks,
which is the like minor league baseball team to the
Boston Red Sox play, So like sometimes you'll pull up
to the Summit Loude and you'll be like, oh, the
parking is really shitty. I know the WLU Socks are
playing right now, but like don't. It's a really really

(29:09):
great place just to have like you know, a local
lounge where you know that like Tuesday through Saturday, like
if they're open, like you can go there and like
you know, like someone from your community is probably going
to be there, and if they're not going to be there,
is going to be there. He's part of the community too.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
It sounds like, you know, Barcelona, the shops that we
went to in Barcelona where they had the espresso. You're
able to probably purchase weed, You're able to bring weed.
Is Michigan is just like.

Speaker 9 (29:42):
Well, so far people have been nailed in wait, wait,
hold on, I do want to interject I've heard a
lot of really good feedback about the exhibiting port Huron.
I've actually gone to get to know their Burton store
through my new job, and.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
I will say the one in the Superior Solving list
is beautiful out there in Bay City. So if you're
on basit, I was going, keep kind of coming and going.
I just love to see when get successful.

Speaker 5 (30:06):
It really difficult, like Kyle, like it is constantly like
working and likes and like, so there is no dispensary
that's attached to it. He does a private club model,
and I'm pretty sure that like he's the only one
in the state because they like you know, created a
law after he did it to prevent anybody else from

(30:28):
doing it.

Speaker 6 (30:30):
What damn that kind of stu. I mean, that's great
for him, but like that stuck. You can't if you
can there.

Speaker 5 (30:37):
Working on I'm not like, don't quote me on that,
But there isn't another one that like functions in the
same way that Kyle does. Like there's Diaspora, which is
a really great like black owned one that is in
I believe Cambridge, and they do events like every single week.
I feel like from what I see on Instagram and

(30:59):
like they are not open like you know, like regular hours,
but they're constantly doing events with the community, so like
we have also like Witch Doctor the glass blowing studio.
Also like up in Salem, they have this beautiful event
space that like, yeah, and you went to Salemon. You

(31:25):
didn't invite him.

Speaker 6 (31:27):
My company took me. This is when I first started
at my first child.

Speaker 5 (31:31):
And you didn't ask if your homie could come as
a plus one can.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
Care the bed with you.

Speaker 6 (31:40):
We've had plenty of sleepovers.

Speaker 5 (31:45):
Salem should be one of them.

Speaker 6 (31:47):
Like you're about to go.

Speaker 11 (31:54):
Salem episode, Dave doesn't actually like our houses, so we
go to a Greyguard or something and Scared of the
Jesus should do actual tour you could do like a
haunted walking tour.

Speaker 5 (32:08):
Did you do it?

Speaker 1 (32:08):
I did the I would I did. I did some
type of Salem tour where I walked around some area,
but it was during the day though I wanted.

Speaker 5 (32:17):
The nighttime ones are fine.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
I bet.

Speaker 5 (32:21):
I'll take your content, but I don't deny your audience.

Speaker 6 (32:27):
I'd be down. I'd be down.

Speaker 5 (32:29):
Would you want to see Scared Dave?

Speaker 10 (32:30):
Yes?

Speaker 11 (32:31):
Boston, all right, so one boat there we go.

Speaker 6 (32:39):
And if I said no, you just say yes and then.

Speaker 5 (32:45):
You know what the you know?

Speaker 3 (32:46):
Oh my god, we didn't even ask this and I
didn't this. So a little background on the hat. I
gotta know the hat and is it because the floor
xp so actually the dam cowgirl like.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
Because it looks like sunflower too at the sunflower stuff
for origin story.

Speaker 5 (33:02):
So oh, I forgot that. We learned about you and
what you love, you know, the origin story. I'm so
glad you asked. I get this question all the time,
and it's actually it's pretty fun. So I started as
a bud tender and then I eventually worked my way
into being a brand ambassador for a company called Northeast Alternatives,

(33:25):
which is actually the parent company to support a dispensary,
which actually I think they just had their first harvest
like this past month. A shout out to them, because
they're the ones who took me out of the dispensary.
My friend Hilary King hired me. She was the director
of wholesale at the time, and she hired me to

(33:45):
be a brand ambassador. And I was trained by Steven Barbosa,
who was just like this, very charming, like he's still
a brand ambassador at Northeast alternatives now and he's just
like charming, effervescent. The stores love him, the customers crave him.
People walk through the door and they just come over
the table. They're like, I want to talk to this guy.
And I was like, fuck, man, my hair might be green,
and like my outfits might be wacky, but like I

(34:07):
gotta get something with an edge. And I was like
walking out of my basement, like probably like the second
day of getting trained, and I saw this like green
cowboy hat that wasn't this one. It was like a
sparkly one that I don't know if I don't think
I brought it with me here. I think it's like
in my basement back in New England somewhere. But I

(34:28):
saw this cowboy hat that I had worn to a
hairy styles Harry Wien concert one of the best nights
of my life. Not to brag. You can hear me
specifically scream on the recording of him singing Somewhere over
the Rainbow. Yeah, yeah he can. Do you know how

(34:49):
beautiful he looks with rosy red blush on his cheeks
in a pair of shiny red hills. So beautiful. But
I was like, there were only two people in front
of me. Okay, he was so beautiful. I was right there.
I'm incredibly lucky. And I was in this like virtual
line thing or something like you paid extra through American

(35:10):
Express or some credit card company and then you were
able to like sit on your phone like a month
before the show, and like everybody clicked the button at
the same time, and you got to sign a space
in the line. And I was before person one hundred,
so I like knew. They made us all like you know,
peacefully filing and whatever. So we all like got where
we needed to go, and one girl even like passed out,

(35:31):
and then we let her. When she got better, they
like walked her back to where she like everybody led
her through to where she was at original Lang, which
was so nice. And there was one girl because they
didn't have food. Sorry this is like a side tangent,
but they didn't have food for us, and they made
us get there at like one or two pm, and
they didn't have food for us until the regular doors opened,
so by then, like everybody else had filled in the

(35:52):
rest of GA and pushed us forward. And there was
one brave girl who I will never forget, and I
wish I don't know her name or her like socials.
She lit was like, who wants food? Venmo me and
put in like the venmo, request what you want and
I will go buy it. And she came back and
brought us allt food. Yeah. It was like I was like,

(36:12):
you are. I was like, you are like a god
to me. I was like, this soft pretzel is more
nourishing than anything I've ever held in my hands before.
But yeah, but so that hat that I wore that night,
I saw in my basement and I grabbed and I
just like put on without a second thought, right and

(36:35):
very quickly I realized that like saying howdie and wearing
like the fun green cowboy hat with the green hair,
people were really receptive to that, and it also made
them remember me, and it also made them really excited.

Speaker 3 (36:45):
Funny Summer described, She's like, oh, do you know dem
cowgirl before we met?

Speaker 7 (36:49):
I was like, oh, I know, I'm not sure. She's like,
oh the green hat.

Speaker 5 (36:52):
The green Yeah. This shout out to m J Biscon.

Speaker 10 (36:59):
It was super easy to find you too.

Speaker 5 (37:02):
Honestly, it was like it worked really well for industry events.
It worked really well for like people knowing me, Like
you know, and then it's like, by the time you
meet me, even if you didn't know me, because Summer
asked you if you knew me, as soon as you
saw me, you go, oh, that's the girl Summer was
talking about.

Speaker 6 (37:18):
And then like I didn't even know you're in Michigan
and I saw you Meek Puff.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
Like yeah, and I think we were at Forest and
I literally told you groovy right he thought he saw it.

Speaker 5 (37:27):
I was like, dude, that that looks like you did
see me. I was or we didn't know until Africa Ship.
I did scream your day, but I.

Speaker 12 (37:41):
Was like that can't be it a word exactly the way,
but like it was.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
And then also a fun fact we were leaving that
night noticed at Forrest's the.

Speaker 5 (37:58):
One and only it actually happened to me like several times.
Yeah he Junkie noticed me too. Oh no Ship, yeah,
oh the really nice girl who wear yeah Gaddy, she
noticed me. She like like you know, she was like,
oh my god, I know you from Flower X but
we'll see you at the show. And I was like,
oh my god, here's that. And I gave her a
Flower Expo bucket hat, which actually leads me to I

(38:20):
have these are like limited edition. I don't know for working.
Thank you guys so much for having me on the show.

Speaker 4 (38:29):
Got the bucket mom put it on, guys.

Speaker 5 (38:33):
Yeah, honestly, I think the headphones on that's tired.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
Yes, like actually, you know what's crazy and it actually
fits with the head bones on.

Speaker 5 (38:45):
Not too shabby. It looks good. Yeah, it's.

Speaker 6 (38:51):
The sixties, all right, let's get it. Let's go, let's go.

Speaker 5 (38:54):
People love those because they're big flower X.

Speaker 1 (38:56):
Well August twenty seven. Aug twenty see US did shipping container.

Speaker 5 (39:01):
Just right shipping company, so if you've never been there before.
I actually also like, I'm kind of a nerve.

Speaker 4 (39:09):
This, so it's like a cow girl hat.

Speaker 5 (39:14):
You look, so I've never worn it like that, I'm
kind of a nerd. Guys. The flyers that I hand
out to the dispensaries and then also to the Oh no,
I brought them for both of you guys.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
Yeah, yeah, I brought I like each day's different retailers only.

Speaker 13 (39:35):
Yeah, so day one is like buyers, owners managers, like
you know, assistant store managers can come to that as well,
I believe, but it's basically for people with decision making
power in the dispensary to like have their meetings in person.

Speaker 5 (39:53):
That way you can like schedule pop ups, you can
like come up with marketing plans, you can like I
I think it's like, you know, you can do the
kind of things that you would do over zoom or
like you know, over an email, but in person, face
to face, hopefully with so much the joint in your hands.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
Exactly, it's so much better when you can do it
face to face. You're smoking, you're having conversations. I mean,
that's how a lot of connections and network units have
has happened in cannabis through years.

Speaker 6 (40:20):
So being able to bring that.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
As an event to the city with people making connections, smoking,
having conversations, trying the product, Like you said, this is
good stuff, Well let me get it in my shop,
maybe work out a deal, yadayad YadA.

Speaker 6 (40:31):
Yeah, I'm excited. I'm excited.

Speaker 5 (40:33):
We'll be there.

Speaker 6 (40:33):
I don't know what day, maybe stop day to day two, day.

Speaker 5 (40:36):
Two, yeah, I think both days are valid. But likes
somebody who was a bud tender, I think that's the
exciting day because it's like, those are the folks who
are really going to be selling your products, you know,
those are the people who are like, oh.

Speaker 6 (40:48):
And it's long. It's twelve tone you it's going to.

Speaker 5 (40:51):
Be very long. Because we got feedback from the bud tenders,
and we also from our show in Chicago that one
went similar hours and we had lots of bud tenders
that showed up later in the day that were really
grateful that we were opening.

Speaker 6 (41:07):
Yeah, that makes it.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
That's smart because that is something that you do want
for people that work in the industry, especially bud tenders.
Who's who's going to be working the stores if they're
at the event, you know, so you got to be
able to have it throughout.

Speaker 6 (41:19):
And it's like shifts.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
So you've got the morning shift, you can go on afternoon,
if you're working the night shift, you go on.

Speaker 6 (41:22):
The boarding vice versa.

Speaker 5 (41:24):
Pretty cool. I'm excited for I'm excited the plan.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
Yeah, I would like to go check because we'll try
and product.

Speaker 6 (41:32):
So for Chicago, they do the same thing. It's like
the samples.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
You're able to try the product, similar style and stuff,
and you're able to smoke at the event.

Speaker 5 (41:41):
Yes, it's a great time. So Chicago was such a
lively show the first time that we did it in
the spring and it was the only show where we've
ever like you know, kind of dipped our toe in
the water and started with one day instead of two
and are we were so well received that we're doing

(42:02):
another show even though we did our first show in
Chicago in Marshall, So you're going back kind of like
we're going back before our second year because they were
so excited and happy to have us. We love Chicago.

Speaker 6 (42:18):
That's good.

Speaker 5 (42:18):
Yeah. I And honestly, the me and Jason did the
architecture tour after the show. This it was that was amazing.

Speaker 6 (42:25):
Oh my god, Chicago.

Speaker 5 (42:27):
It was so good. He was like, we could do
one thing or the other. Do you want to see
the bean or doing an architecture tour? And I was like,
I want to see the buildings the bean. It was like,
I want to see the buildings. Be is so like
you would you see it eventually, It's like but it's like.

Speaker 3 (42:43):
A I don't know, man, I'm just so underwhelm because
especially I lived there for a little while, so every
time someone came, the sixth time you're showing someone the bean,
he'right there.

Speaker 5 (42:52):
It is you know what I mean? You go you
go under your cool. It's mirror. All right, well, going
with some coffee you'renn drink. It's like a five minute
so many I love Chicago once a day, but this
is the fun part. And now that we're smoking is

(43:12):
the perfect time. Whenever he least expects it.

Speaker 3 (43:15):
I want to go back and forth between questions about
what why we want you to ask us Michigan questions,
and we're gonna try to We're going to try our
best to ask you some bossing questions.

Speaker 7 (43:24):
It can be industry related, it cannot.

Speaker 3 (43:26):
The reason the reason why we brought this up, though,
is because you coined a term that me and Dave
still make jokes all the time about.

Speaker 5 (43:34):
So it wasn't it wasn't just me. It wasn't really
me at all. I feel like it was Kara, my
friend the Cannabis manicurists, when we were I think it
was when we were in Vegas, right roll. Yeah, he
rolls the toolips. That's what she's really well known for
in the cold. I think she also won Rookie of
the Year for the Raw World Championship for rolling this

(43:58):
last year. Yeah, with her gully it was really beautiful
and she worked on it for a really long time,
like she really it's fern gully is what she called it.
And it had like frogs and like lily pads and
it was only out of papers and weed that I
believe was gardens by Guilts.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
That's such a cool art crazy, I love it. I
can roll joints an artist, like.

Speaker 5 (44:22):
Yeah, now I just rolled my first joint and it
was actually because I got into Kara has showed me
a million times, like the easiest way to roll a
joint that she says, and I still never roll them
because I'm like, girl, we're friends. Like if I want
to smoke a joint, I'm just gonna ask you if
you want to hang out, like let's be so for real,
Like I love to dab. I never want to smoke
a joint that bad. That like, I don't have a

(44:42):
friend that's gonna roll for me if I want to
smoke one, or like a pre roll company that I love,
like paper Crane that's gonna like hook me up. You know.

Speaker 7 (44:52):
I understand that, right, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (44:55):
It's like I'm like I can take care of us
with the dabs, you can take care of us with
the rolls, like I'm good. It's the perfect and yang,
yes it is but when you're watching this, you should
tag your friend. That's the gin to your yang, and
the dab to your.

Speaker 6 (45:10):
Who's your flower, the.

Speaker 5 (45:11):
Honey to your lettuce?

Speaker 10 (45:13):
Who's the dab to your egg?

Speaker 6 (45:17):
I love eggs, eggs?

Speaker 5 (45:21):
How do you guys take your eggs?

Speaker 6 (45:23):
Over easy? It's my favorite?

Speaker 9 (45:25):
I prefer.

Speaker 4 (45:28):
Depends on that too, dry, scrambled or baked.

Speaker 5 (45:33):
What's the thing with paprika?

Speaker 4 (45:34):
You know, like an egg bite the devil?

Speaker 5 (45:36):
Deviled eggs? Okay, okay, I paprika? What do you mean? No?
Hold on only one?

Speaker 7 (45:47):
Never try?

Speaker 5 (45:48):
Wa? Wait? Wait?

Speaker 4 (45:49):
And I do like eggs, Benedict. I like eggs, Benedict?

Speaker 5 (45:52):
What you say? I do like eggs? Bended eggs? Egg
is the best? Y'all? You like eggs? I didn't know
what would be doing egg debate. I didn't know either,
but that eggs would come up. It doesn't make sense
that eggs would come up.

Speaker 6 (46:10):
Over easy is the way to go.

Speaker 3 (46:12):
Doubled eggs, if I'm gonna go, my favorite, because I'll
put so much pepper out of there.

Speaker 5 (46:16):
It's like barely egg. I love it.

Speaker 9 (46:18):
Oh wait, do you not like paprika or doubled egg
I don't like double the eggs either.

Speaker 5 (46:25):
I don't like hardoil because I haven't you make some
weird soft boiled egg I've only ever seen.

Speaker 7 (46:31):
I've never seen it before you started posting never.

Speaker 5 (46:35):
Oh, is that what that is? I don't know. It's
in the soup. Man, I didn't eat the egg. That's okay.
I'm glad that we're here and we're talking about it.

Speaker 9 (46:46):
Yeah, enlightenment, listen.

Speaker 5 (46:48):
We all need to learn somehow, you know. Yeah, And
I'm like, I'm happy I could teach you because the
soft boiled egg goes really underappreciated in America. I think
I think it goes often overlooked. Most theTimes I go
to restaurants I ask about it, They're like, whoa, we
don't do that here, really know where? I don't know
where you're having, like, we don't we don't do those
types of eggs around. I don't want to egg. And

(47:11):
I'm like, the harder version of a soft boiled egg, Yeah,
a poach tag is literally like a harder version of
a socking boiled egg. And they don't know. No, I
mean like harder is and it's more difficult to make
because it's like out of the shell and you have
to like swirl it in the water. Do you know
what a poach tag is? It's okay, So like poast
eggs are like.

Speaker 6 (47:31):
You, let's go through all that different eggs real quick.

Speaker 5 (47:34):
Hold on, I don't.

Speaker 3 (47:34):
We're talking about Michigan boss and stuff. Now we're talking
about eggs like. That's fine, We'll do some egg knowwledge.

Speaker 4 (47:40):
This is for the egg cowgirl account.

Speaker 5 (47:42):
Let's just keep saying the word egg, cowgirl and egg.
And we didn't even I didn't even tell you more
about how I ended up with like flower expell because
I didn't. I ended the story about how I found
the hat. Wait wait, we completely missed the whole point
I'm talking.

Speaker 9 (47:55):
About, like we're nailing this podcast.

Speaker 4 (47:59):
Yes, I want to elaborate. Hold on, I want to elaborate.

Speaker 9 (48:03):
So Michigan style was uh.

Speaker 5 (48:07):
A whiteboard right there that had like the itinerary of
where our conversation should land.

Speaker 4 (48:12):
Yes, that's perfect.

Speaker 5 (48:14):
Can I thank you guys like a whiteboard? Wait?

Speaker 4 (48:19):
Wait, hold on, hold on, let me finish.

Speaker 9 (48:20):
Okay, So Michigan style is where people just ash on
the ground instead.

Speaker 4 (48:25):
Of ashing in an ash tray.

Speaker 9 (48:29):
Jeremy just demonstrated that I.

Speaker 5 (48:37):
Do it in my house.

Speaker 3 (48:38):
I hate to admit it, like I don't do all
the time, but sometimes I'll just like not think about it,
just as like I'm outside.

Speaker 9 (48:44):
To be fair, to be fair the people from Michigan
in that specific group setting, we're all ashing on ourselves.

Speaker 1 (48:54):
Yes, so.

Speaker 5 (48:57):
Right now I have as.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
Yeah, I always have ASH, especially if I'm laying down
watching a movie or show late at night and you're
just smoking and you're just like.

Speaker 9 (49:05):
The and then here we have Kiara and Fran just
using the ash tray.

Speaker 5 (49:09):
You know every time. That's crazy. I don't know where
you were mathematician.

Speaker 6 (49:18):

Speaker 6 (55:21):
You don't get that. We don't have I'm never on
the East Coast.

Speaker 5 (55:23):

We'reittingster rolls, oysters and Salem.

Speaker 3 (55:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (55:29):
Yeah, you guys have to check out which doctor they
have this. What I was gonna say is they have
this incredible venue where like not only will they have
like you know, like you can sash there, but they'll
have glass blowing lessons. So like it's just it's genuinely
so freaking cool. You can like see people learning how
to glassgow. I've made a couple of pendants.

Speaker 1 (55:50):
There any events coming up in like September October in Boston,
so November November.

Speaker 5 (55:57):
Honestly, the event that I'm I'm signed up to go
to right now that's in November November first is the
very heady Holiday Party in New York. It's one of
the last events.

Speaker 3 (56:09):
Right about New England's community that they all really are
so inclusive to each other around Ohio and Michigan because
we are farther apart.

Speaker 7 (56:15):
We don't get that as much like crossover as y'all do.

Speaker 5 (56:18):
I love that. Well, it's like I can get to
New York in like four hours, You're right, you know.
So it's like yeah, yeah, it's the same way as
you guys. That's the same differences you guys going up.
You guys are going up to the Upper Peninsula this weekend.
We would we would just be hitting the bridge.

Speaker 6 (56:33):
Yeah, eight hours. It's eight hour drive.

Speaker 5 (56:35):
It's about four hours from where you live.

Speaker 1 (56:37):
It's about like three and a half from where yeah,
four So I was talking all the way up though
the Republic about eight hour drive.

Speaker 7 (56:43):
Oh, or we're going Yeah, see, if you're going straightway.

Speaker 4 (56:46):
See, it's a little diffusing because if you go to
like you can.

Speaker 3 (56:49):
Drive through Michigan for like ten hours because you can
go all the way to like Copper Harbor, right, But
if you want to just go to like to Canada,
like Sus Saint, it's only.

Speaker 7 (56:56):
Like five five and a half, I think, all the
way through.

Speaker 3 (56:58):
But that's like straight up, yeah, it's it's I love Michigan,
but it's.

Speaker 5 (57:02):
Like, honestly, like I love Michigan, but yeah, that's why
I'm able to like go to New York like that
is because it's like four hours away and you're in Massachusetts,
Rhode Island or like you know, is that like.

Speaker 3 (57:14):
New York City or like, oh sorry, I keep going
back to the Michigan Boston.

Speaker 5 (57:20):
US Like, you guys should come out for the very
heavy holiday party. I convinced Sam from uh Midnight Smoking
to come out. Shout out, Yeah, come out November first,
get your ticket. They sell out. I'm like, that's not
even kidding. You guys should come out. It's like really
fun you go to that community. So what was your

(57:43):
first experience at lakes Michigan Lake? Honestly, it was so beautiful,
absolutely gorgeous. Uh. That was actually where I found out
that Michigan, the lakes in the Midwest, like the Great Lake,
they are glaciers. Summer told me. I was like, that's crazy.
They're melted glaciers. No fucking way. And I've been telling

(58:06):
all my friends back home about that because they had
no idea, because I had no idea. None of us knew.

Speaker 7 (58:13):
You didn't you ask me about pop?

Speaker 5 (58:16):
Yes? Yeah. One of my questions for you guys is
if it makes you cringe when I call like when
I call it soda?

Speaker 6 (58:27):
So it soda.

Speaker 5 (58:28):
Do you cringe?

Speaker 9 (58:29):
Unfortunately I started calling it soda, and I apologize to
all of my sounds.

Speaker 5 (58:34):
Like you're being proper, you know what I mean? Like, oh, soda,
it's pop.

Speaker 1 (58:38):
Man, I would probably say pop, but like I don't
drink much pop. Yeah, yeah, but people the comments might
take offense to that.

Speaker 4 (58:51):
Okay, listen, listen.

Speaker 9 (58:52):
I also don't really drink pop anywhere. But also when
I think pop, like the connotation is like fago, like
cotton can candy, like fag pop, you know, like something.

Speaker 4 (59:02):
Yes, I love like the like fun sweet flavors.

Speaker 9 (59:05):
Right, but when when I think of like pepsi your favorite,
I think of I don't really.

Speaker 5 (59:09):
Think like.

Speaker 9 (59:11):
I love kanon candy fago, but you know what, yeah,
or I also really enjoyed that new bubble gum fago
that was the ship. Yeah, that was the ship.

Speaker 7 (59:23):
Cherry Coke has always been my favorite.

Speaker 5 (59:24):
Cherry co Cherry coke specifically is the top tier secret
had I mean, that would be like a really weird,
But I do have one friend that over coke. Do
you guys prefer pepsi or coke coke? She's thinking about it.

(59:51):
That's like neither.

Speaker 10 (59:55):
Cool let's go with.

Speaker 6 (59:56):
That red pop will kill me.

Speaker 9 (01:00:01):
But here's all right, I have to like really limit
the amount of sugar I also consume, so I'm not
like really drinking.

Speaker 7 (01:00:08):
Of that about.

Speaker 9 (01:00:09):
But if I do grab a pop or like a soda,
it's typically like like a diet pepsi or something.

Speaker 3 (01:00:16):
I just think it shows that you're not Midwest, that's all.
It's like, that's it's not really a big deal. My
mom's from Jersey and she still says soda, you know
what I mean.

Speaker 5 (01:00:23):
Soda?

Speaker 7 (01:00:24):
Yeah, Joysey, New Jersey water Colfe.

Speaker 5 (01:00:29):
That's my mom. She's real Jersey.

Speaker 7 (01:00:31):
So I think I got that kind of accent from her,
Like I've heard.

Speaker 5 (01:00:34):
It, you know what I mean. So you guys, ever
been to Boston? Yeah? What do you got you any questions?

Speaker 4 (01:00:41):
I've never been to Boston.

Speaker 7 (01:00:43):
I mean in Boston, Massachusetts or Massachusetts.

Speaker 9 (01:00:46):
Maybe when I was like really little, like beyond memory capacity.

Speaker 5 (01:00:51):
Oh, I got one.

Speaker 3 (01:00:52):
The different This is just difference between Michigan and Boston.
What do you think about our Michigan turnarounds?

Speaker 5 (01:00:56):
Her left? I hate those. It's weird turn left, riding
on the wrong side of the road. I'm driving it's
the one where it's like it makes you drive on
the wrong side of the road to like hug.

Speaker 3 (01:01:11):
The try to explain this to people from Masters. You've
never been to Midwest, I don't.

Speaker 5 (01:01:15):
I don't know how you're going course, Like every time
the GPS tells me this is that, I almost miss
it unless my friends are in the car and they're like, hey,
you need to check it out. So instead of turning left,
you pass the.

Speaker 3 (01:01:29):
Street you want to do, turn around, and then turn right.
So instead of turning left, you turn left kind of
and then you turn right.

Speaker 5 (01:01:36):
Is okay, it's funny. It's like it's I don't I
don't hate it. I don't love it. It's something to
get used to, you know. It's like not as weird
as like the the like you guys don't put your

(01:01:57):
cards back like that, Like that's that's weird.

Speaker 3 (01:02:00):
Oh cards, So that was another one you were talking
about cards.

Speaker 5 (01:02:04):
You guys, we have a lot of laser Like it's
just like but everything so nice.

Speaker 3 (01:02:10):
The Winner people people are like, ah, this is like
in the slush.

Speaker 5 (01:02:15):
If I feel so bad for people with back, I'll
put mine back. I do. I do because I'm not
I know I'm at all these.

Speaker 9 (01:02:23):
I'm getting I will put my card back forever just
so that Francesca will continue to be my friend.

Speaker 6 (01:02:29):
That's fair.

Speaker 1 (01:02:30):
Anytime I'm gonna leave the card out, be like down watching.

Speaker 5 (01:02:40):
I'm looking down on him, making sure he's making good decision,
kind of like Santa Claus, you.

Speaker 6 (01:02:45):
Know, better push that card and.

Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
Yea.

Speaker 6 (01:02:52):
Yeah. So they actually putting all their cards into Massachusetts.

Speaker 5 (01:02:54):
That's like, like, not like that much, but it's just
I feel like the degree of which guys don't is
higher here. There is a lot of attitude if someone
gets paid to do that.

Speaker 3 (01:03:04):
Here.

Speaker 1 (01:03:05):
Driving our drivers, I feel like we have very like
crazy drivers.

Speaker 5 (01:03:12):
Yeah, I don't really notice anything. I think you guys
are really tame in terms of driving. You guys drive
really fast, but that's it. Like guys really, but you
guys aren't like assholes about it.

Speaker 7 (01:03:26):
Like see.

Speaker 3 (01:03:27):
I think Boston has a reputation of being like rude,
but I don't think it's rude. I think East Coast
is very direct and sometimes you can they're just busy.

Speaker 5 (01:03:35):
They're direct.

Speaker 3 (01:03:36):
No, I think my New Jersey, New York, Boston they're
just like, hey, what the Fok's wrong?

Speaker 5 (01:03:40):
With you just like they say that out of love
and concern. Bad thing. They're just direct, like going out
with your face.

Speaker 4 (01:03:54):
I think I started trying immediately.

Speaker 5 (01:03:58):
Just New York where I was just after this. It's
like when they say, hey, it's wrong with your face summer,
they mean like hey, like what they're getting They're giving

(01:04:20):
you stace to open up your face and they need
to go, oh well, like I have like like, that's
what is wrong with my pat me tell you, like.

Speaker 3 (01:04:32):
You know, the South will give you like like whimsical metaphors.

Speaker 5 (01:04:35):
New York gives you.

Speaker 3 (01:04:36):
Like like New York East Coast will give you like
kind of metaphoric, but like you know, kind of that way,
darker way.

Speaker 5 (01:04:41):
You gotta pay attention. That's that's what kind of correct.
Like I'm home, Like for that week that I was home,
there were plenty of times where I just like sat
and listened to people's conversations. I feel like I'm in
a hot tub of everybody's words right now, Like how
soothed by everybody accents in the way they you know,

(01:05:02):
like oh you know what then?

Speaker 9 (01:05:04):
Speaking of accents, I would you describe like the Michigan
accent versus like the Massachusetts accent.

Speaker 5 (01:05:11):
Well, like the way you say accent is like focused
on the act. You can hear it in like this
part of your day.

Speaker 7 (01:05:18):
Accent in Michigan, Michigan.

Speaker 5 (01:05:23):
And like Boston is just like I don't know, it's
like y'all your ours become u ages.

Speaker 3 (01:05:29):
It's like like uhe are I know it's it.

Speaker 5 (01:05:35):
Sounds like I don't know, it sounds like long Gate.
It sounds comforting to me, like I don't know, it
just sounds like good, like I don't sound like that.
But well no, no, I mean yeah, I love it,
like my like yeah, no, I just that's what every
accent is like like sometimes to imitate it, but like
not under pressure, but like if no one's really paying attention,

(01:05:58):
I can do a really good Kyle moonssion, but like
when people are like if I'm being recorded or if
like he's around, I can't do it.

Speaker 9 (01:06:08):
I think it's really interesting just to kind of like
compare and contrast, like just like different cultures and populations.

Speaker 5 (01:06:15):
I think it's really interesting. Said no.

Speaker 3 (01:06:18):
And that's the thing like in Europe, all these countries
are just as far as our states are, having a
different dialect of English makes sense, right.

Speaker 7 (01:06:26):
We look and we look at it as an accent,
but really it's a different dialect.

Speaker 3 (01:06:29):
I know I'm exaggerating, but if you really find someone
who's like born raised like Boston, this is someone born
and raised Detroit, They're gonna sound way different.

Speaker 5 (01:06:37):
Right. The really big American flags on the poles on
every side of the what's last time this is America?
I know, I just I've never seen anything. I was
just like driving around for work and then all of
a sudden, I turned down this street and there are

(01:06:59):
these giant American flags on either side, and I was like,
are they literally? Like I I called the Michelle. I
was like, are they celebrating?

Speaker 6 (01:07:06):
Yeah, A lot of businesses do have flags out here too.

Speaker 5 (01:07:08):
But it wasn't like a business thing the businesses I expect,
like we have tons of businesses with giant American flags
on the East Coast, but like this was like an
organized like.

Speaker 3 (01:07:20):
I never thought about it, but it is very common
to have like flags like that, and I yeah, I
guess it's.

Speaker 5 (01:07:26):
Not like the Boston, especially going north, it's like on
both sides of the street like that. That's small towns.
You do kind of get that you'll get it. But
it's like you forum, it's not even like there were
businesses doing it. It's like it had to be like
the city or something.

Speaker 7 (01:07:40):
Is it a smaller town, because sometimes you do get
that in smaller towns.

Speaker 5 (01:07:45):
It wasn't. I was in Detroit somewhere, Oh interesting, a
gross point, maybe.

Speaker 6 (01:07:51):
Indian village.

Speaker 5 (01:07:52):
I guess.

Speaker 7 (01:07:52):
I can't say it's common, but it happens.

Speaker 5 (01:07:54):
I've seen that before.

Speaker 6 (01:07:56):
I mean, there's a lot of flags all throughout thet.

Speaker 5 (01:08:00):
And I was just joking.

Speaker 3 (01:08:01):
I really make that joke all the time about North Texas.
But I just do think there is a certain level
of like when you go up north Maine, it can
be yeah, American flags hanging off trucks type of.

Speaker 5 (01:08:11):
Thing, you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (01:08:12):
Northern Michigan very rule.

Speaker 5 (01:08:15):
I mean, like we have like places in Massachusetts that
are like that, too.

Speaker 6 (01:08:20):
Best Chooses isn't too big.

Speaker 5 (01:08:21):
Is it? It's not that big. It's not that big
at all. It's not. It's so cute and tiny. All
of the New England states are also cute and tiny,
except for Maine is kind of big. Main is kind
of big. But all the rest of New England, the
states are pretty cute and tiny.

Speaker 9 (01:08:35):
I have a question, then, So, with all the states
being so close together, and with several states being on
the smaller side, what's the conversation, you know, in terms
of being able to have cannabis cross state lines in
New England?

Speaker 5 (01:08:52):
They can't because it's not federally legal.

Speaker 9 (01:08:55):
Is there like conversation about it or like initiatives to.

Speaker 3 (01:08:58):
Be able to about That's complicated because unless you get
your criminalization or legal really can't do that.

Speaker 5 (01:09:05):
That's it. Like there was the closest thing to that
that we had was that the Martha's Vineyard and the
Nantucket Islands. Those stores both basically like they lost the
grows on the island and they basically like petitioned to
be like, hey, like we have no other way to

(01:09:27):
get wead we need to be able to buy from
the mainland. And also like these aren't international waters anyways,
so like it's dumb that you're not letting us do
this in the first place. And then like the regulatory
agency was like, okay, yeah, you can like send weed
over by boat. So now they're like voting over weed

(01:09:50):
to Martha's Vineyard and then Tucket. So if you buy
weed Connecticut, Massachuset. Okay, thent I get as Massachusetts. Yeah,
and so is Martha's Vineyard. Okay.

Speaker 7 (01:10:03):
For some reason, I thought they were like separated.

Speaker 5 (01:10:05):
No, no, no, they're both. They both belonged to Massachusetts. Hey, hey,
I don't think Connecticut has any like famous islands like that.
To my knowledge, Rhode Island has Block Island, which is
like their version of like Nantucket Martha's n No, I
just missed.

Speaker 3 (01:10:20):
For some reason, I thought you said that was the
kind of a loophole to get it to another state.

Speaker 5 (01:10:23):
I was like, whoaa, and that's what blew my mind.
They ever, yeah, no, no, you still don't see it
in another state. So like there are brands that, like
you could definitely get in both states, but they'll be
manufactured in those separate states. You know. It's just like, yeah,
how you can get good tides here and you can
get good tides in Chicago, and the good tides in
Chicago I only have ten milligrams. So I was so
used to those. So then when I gave my friend

(01:10:45):
a good tide from Michigan, I gave it to her
and I was like, don't worry, it's only ten milligrams.
And then I was like, oh, no, I lied to you.
I'm sorry. It's like, no, it wasnny in the one
thought that I have those. Shout to Scooby. It gave

(01:11:06):
them something. The CBS cn cbg ones are my favor friend.

Speaker 9 (01:11:10):
I love the CBG the Strawberry Kiwi with the CBD
and CBG immaculate. And I do want to say with
oh this is yes, yes, I like them.

Speaker 5 (01:11:23):
Before summer worked there though, I just want to say.

Speaker 9 (01:11:25):
And before I started there fran a whole bag of
pair of wild gummies that someone gave very cool. So
it's just like very ironic.

Speaker 10 (01:11:34):
But going back to.

Speaker 9 (01:11:37):
Just kind of like the crossing state borders with New
England being the entire just like region being comparable and
the size of you know, California for example, I think
it would definitely be very beneficial for the region to
be able to you know, cross between two.

Speaker 5 (01:11:53):
Actually, like Delaware just legalized recreational this week. They weren't
recreational type, so shout out to Delaware. Yeah, America's first
state just one leg Yeah, that's pretty crazy.

Speaker 6 (01:12:12):
Congratulates pill fifty thirty states legal.

Speaker 5 (01:12:17):
I mean, it's good that it happened for them in
the summer because del has like beaches from right here.
I spent much time there at all. I apparently don't
know right these states are. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:12:27):
I've only been in Massachusetts on the East coast. Really,
I mean New York. But I'm I'm thinking, yeah, I'm
thinking right up on the.

Speaker 7 (01:12:34):
Water, New York is or city is on the water, right, yes, yes, that's.

Speaker 5 (01:12:39):
What I'm confused.

Speaker 1 (01:12:40):
Damn, yeah, I remember in the Atlantic Ocean. I'm thinking
the Atlantic Ocean covering the That's how I was going.

Speaker 5 (01:12:47):
More so actually challenge geography.

Speaker 9 (01:12:51):
I was in the geography being middle school guys.

Speaker 5 (01:12:57):
Guys, I have a question if there was like a
cannabis like spelling be would you guys want to watch
Like I want to have people like spell different terpenes
and ship get really high? Could not even I want
something to be really easy because I want to make
people like take a dab first or something like. You know,
if the sponsors are like dab companies, like flower companies,

(01:13:19):
I think it would be fun. I would lose.

Speaker 3 (01:13:23):
I can't spell when I'm sorry, Yeah, spoke a lot,
but it would be funny, right, fun watching people trying
to spell to age you guys take a dab before it.

Speaker 5 (01:13:36):
Yeah, I think that's my That would be my goal.
I think would be to get like dab sponsors and
flower sponsors, so that way we can be like, okay,
and next of it is like you know Dave and
he's gonna spell uh linn a little and it's sponsored
by like, you know, like this brand, and like you

(01:13:59):
know this brand is going to have him take a
dab of this first before he spells. Yeah, exactly connected. Yeah,
that would be. They've done all sorts of events. Man,
there's always something. I feel like that would be goofy.
I've seen bingo. I feel like I feel like a
spelling bee would be funny because then also like that
would be like a goofy thing. Imagine putting that on

(01:14:21):
your LinkedIn as awards and accomplishments, like you won the
Detroit Cannabis spelling Bee. I'd put it on there, you know.
I totally would like, would what are we going to
start this? Someone someone's like presented by.

Speaker 6 (01:14:41):
Let's go, let's do it.

Speaker 5 (01:14:43):
Let's go guys. I like it. Yeah, I think it
would be fun. We just and it's like one of
those things where people can all sit, so we could
have like tables in the front for people to reserve
beforehand for people who want to bring pieces, and then
other people could get like seated chairs for like, you know,
the people we just want to smoke joints for a table. Yeah,

(01:15:04):
I can see what happened to the AM. I canna
cast spelling. Hey, any other events? First, I don't know
what it is yet because I just proposed this idea
right now. Time this gets published, and if we do,
we're going to put it right here.

Speaker 4 (01:15:19):
Yes, first annual. Definitely not rigged either.

Speaker 5 (01:15:27):
Definitely not rigged either.

Speaker 3 (01:15:30):
It makes it sound so yeah Summer.

Speaker 5 (01:15:35):
Why did you say that?

Speaker 6 (01:15:37):
Because want the place first place, buy us.

Speaker 5 (01:15:42):
Summer.

Speaker 3 (01:15:42):
There's no affiliation with the spelling words as our champion.

Speaker 4 (01:15:48):
They're going to band me.

Speaker 5 (01:15:51):
She answers you.

Speaker 7 (01:15:52):
Two dads before you're spelling. She's handicapped.

Speaker 5 (01:15:55):
She comes in with a handicap. That's like like golf.
I think you have any more questions.

Speaker 3 (01:16:05):
There's a lot of interesting things about the Midwest versus
the East Coast. I think I just that turnaround thing
always cracks me up, because like when I went over there,
that was the one that was all right, just your left.

Speaker 9 (01:16:14):
What is what is your favorite part of the Massachusetts market.

Speaker 5 (01:16:19):
My favorite part of the Massachusetts market is the people.

Speaker 1 (01:16:24):
Yeah, it sounds like you guys have a good culture
out there. You've told us a good culture community that
was probably stemmed from the medical days as well too,
But I feel like they are just.

Speaker 5 (01:16:33):
Like a lot of people out there who really care,
Like I'm sorry, you guys run into that here too,
and just like the people in Massachusetts are really fiercely
like loyal to like their friends and what they believe in.
So like I feel like that's kind of where part
of that like directness comes from. Is a lot of them.

(01:16:53):
Like someone like my friend Brannon, who was like born
and raised like in the Boston area. It's just like
she knows exact actly like how she feels, like when
she feels it, and like she'll have no problem telling you.
And like she's one of those people where a lot
of the times she'll like give me advice before I'm
ready to hear it, and then like you know, like
six months later, I'll be like, damn, Mary, I should

(01:17:15):
have listened to you, and she'll be like, yeah, I
know yet, Like and like there's just something like about
that that is really comforting for me, like knowing that,

(01:17:36):
like I have this like entire group of people that
are like fiercely rooting for me no matter where I am,
because they're also very proud of the people who like
come from where they come from, and like the people
of Massachusetts really adopted me. Like I the part of
New England that I come from is like actually right

(01:17:56):
outside of Massachusetts. It's Technicallyhode Island. But I started my
career in Massachusetts, and I really didn't feel at home
in New England until I started to grow my community
within Massachusetts. So like I feel like the people in
Massachusetts really know their people and they stick by them

(01:18:17):
in a way that's really nice and special. Huh. There,
I wouldn't even call them inclusive, to be honest, I
feel like they're exclusive in a way that's very level.
Does that make sense yeah one of us? Yeah? Yeah,
Like you know, yeah, we're a team, Like we are
all part of the Red Sox family, Like we are
all rooting for the Patriots, we're all rooting for the Celtics.

(01:18:39):
Like it's like I don't even I don't even know
anything about sports, but it's like when the Celtics won, Like,
I went out and I handed out free free roles.

Speaker 7 (01:18:51):
What's up with the beef between the Red Sox and
the Yankees.

Speaker 6 (01:18:54):
It's just Boston and New York Sports.

Speaker 5 (01:18:56):
New York Sports. They're just like And there was also
like this to be like okay, like there was this
whole curse, Like there was this whole curse. Listen, and
it was lifted when I was in elementary school, and
it was a really big deal, especially for me personally,
because I bet my friends that I would be a
Red Sox fan for the rest of my life if
they won the World Series that year, and they did win.

(01:19:18):
So here I am years later, what is this thing?
What is this curse? There was like this curse. I
don't know. I was really young at the time it
got cured, so like, yeah, can you tell us, you
tell me, I'll look up.

Speaker 1 (01:19:36):
The Red Sox traded away picture to the Yankees and
he got cursed.

Speaker 6 (01:19:40):
I think it was Babe Ruth. I want to be mistaken.

Speaker 5 (01:19:42):
Ye. So basically like the Red Sox traded away some
really good player to the Yankees and then he like
popped off and blew up and the Red Socks were like,
I can't believe my ex would get hotter with you?
What this is a curse. It was largely like if that,
if that happened to me, I would probably feel the
same way. Imagine like you tell your ex to like

(01:20:05):
get lost, I don't need you, like, go be with
someone else, like, you know, go be with the man
you told me not to worry about. I don't care girl,
like it'll be fine. And then the two of them
become like a power couple, like they're doing way better
than you, and like you know, and you're just like
falling off and you're like damn, and I like threw
you away to the side, Like that is kind of

(01:20:25):
a curse, Like I would feel cursed. Yeah, I don't
really think they're being dramatic about it.

Speaker 6 (01:20:32):
Four or something like that.

Speaker 5 (01:20:35):
I think it was two thousand and.

Speaker 7 (01:20:36):
Four, but I don't really need.

Speaker 6 (01:20:41):
Deficit.

Speaker 5 (01:20:41):
It's a bambino. Yeah, it was n eighty six years
until two thousand and four. Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:20:51):
Yeah, yeah, I was hoping.

Speaker 5 (01:20:54):
It went.

Speaker 1 (01:21:00):
Crazy occur the Curse the Billy Goat, which is all
over one hundred years and they won the World Series.

Speaker 5 (01:21:05):
So one thing that is really really crazy is like
the seeing the baseball park stadiums that are like updated,
like the one that you guys have, because ours is
like antique in vintage. And she's like sexy. Don't get
me wrong, but you're like water effects, Like someone will
get a home run and like water will pop off

(01:21:27):
from like the back of this like fancy thing that's you,
And I'm like, what the hell, that's so cool.

Speaker 1 (01:21:34):
But you have the green Monster, which is nostalgic for
any baseball fan. It's so nice, grey monster, the giant
green wall and left field that's like fucking.

Speaker 6 (01:21:43):
So it's like I don't know how many feet, probably
thirty feet high, forty feet high.

Speaker 1 (01:21:47):
Oh wow, it's only like three hundred and seventeen feet
or thirty feet from home plate to the wall.

Speaker 6 (01:21:53):
But it's a fucking wall. It's a monster.

Speaker 5 (01:21:54):
It's insane. It's really cool.

Speaker 1 (01:21:56):
I've done a lot of I actually went to the
stadium when I was out in Austin.

Speaker 6 (01:22:00):
It was a unique.

Speaker 5 (01:22:01):
It was of course, sure that sounds open. At the time,
when did you go out there?

Speaker 6 (01:22:08):
Eighteen? Okay, so new deal was not fall to eighteen.

Speaker 1 (01:22:12):
It was like no, actually, I think it was like
Augusta Sports ye ye, sports.

Speaker 6 (01:22:20):
I do want to I know we keep going back
for that.

Speaker 5 (01:22:21):
I'm to make sure we asked that the question. Yeah,
I ask her to ask.

Speaker 1 (01:22:25):
I have a question I have to ask you. It
doesn't mean we have to end, but we can go
back and forth. I want to make sure this just asked,
because we're best every guest that's ever came on the podcast.
All right, I'll say you're opening up a jar of
rozen and a kanja. Jenie pops out and brantcy one
wish to change anything.

Speaker 6 (01:22:41):
Within the cannabis industry. What would you wish for within
an instance?

Speaker 5 (01:22:46):
Fingers anything within the cannabis industry. Yes, and I can
change it within an instant.

Speaker 4 (01:22:55):
Right now, right now, right now.

Speaker 10 (01:22:59):
Yeah, than you Sicily, I love my kid.

Speaker 6 (01:23:11):
It's pretty wild.

Speaker 5 (01:23:13):
He's fair asks. Can I say something kind of feral?

Speaker 10 (01:23:17):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (01:23:18):
Sure.

Speaker 5 (01:23:19):
I'd put myself in charge of all of it, so
then I could just make all the changes I wanted
after that, and I wouldn't have the thing too hard
about it. Right now. I'd just be like, I'm in
charge of the entire United States cannabis industry from now
moving forward. And then I'd be like, and I'm gonna
like you know, make all those decisions from an office
that's moving around. It's mobile, it's wherever I happen to be.

(01:23:40):
And I'll start clocking in tomorrow and I'll work, you know,
probably like Monday through Friday. Like I feel like it's
only fair if I work like eight am to like five,
because I feel like that's what everybody else is working,
if not longer in cannabis. But like also, I really
am going to need my rest if I'm going to
be a good leader, So I need to prioritize also

(01:24:01):
the things that I need to do for me. So yeah,
and that is what I'm would do. And then I
would simply fix everything because I would listen to people
who actually smoke weed.

Speaker 3 (01:24:10):
No one ever said if everyone just goes for the
one thing, because that is on the table, we never
and we say no more wishes.

Speaker 5 (01:24:16):
She only had one wish. Don't worry.

Speaker 6 (01:24:22):
Don't worry.

Speaker 5 (01:24:23):
I'm now the Chancellor of Cannabis for all of the
United States, and I can't be fired because that was
part of my wish. Thank you, trust. I would trust.

Speaker 3 (01:24:31):
I would trust you in the green heads than it's
someone who's in a suit and never smoke.

Speaker 5 (01:24:36):
Represent this this stuff to represent it right.

Speaker 1 (01:24:39):
Absolutely, you need more people that smoke to be able
to talk about the laws and regulations, because if you
haven't tried it, then you're just you're going off the bias,
and you're going off for refremendous.

Speaker 5 (01:24:47):
One of the unique things we have in Jesus, it's
not too unique. I'm sure that you guys have somebody
like him too, But we have a guy called the
Apple Guy, and he shows up to like every single CCC,
which is our regulatory industry. He shows up to every
single meeting with apples and he gives people apples, and
like you know, he will stand up for what's right

(01:25:09):
and he'll like let people know when the meetings are when,
like you know, they pushed them out last minute and
stuff like that. And he's a really cool guy and
he actually just started his own like business on the
legal market and he also sells apples and like other
fruits and vegetables. His real name is Lucas, but we
call him Apple Guy. Apple Guy. Checks out, checks out,

(01:25:30):
Shout out to Apple Guy. Out to Apple Guy. Yeah,
he's like he does Vegas, so look out for him
because he came last year and I think he's coming
in this year. He does bring apples, he literally does.
He did last year at the Massachusetts party. He was
handing out apples. There was like not like the Massachusetts party,
but there was a SENSEI party that all the Massachusetts

(01:25:51):
people went to where I was like, this literally looks
like a party at home. I was like, we literally
flew here to have a lot like the same party
that I went to last week. This is crazy. Does
I feel like that at the Michigan parties in Vegas?
It's like nuts. You're like looking around here, like I
literally saw all of you within the past month. This
is crazy, and here we are. It's so fun. I

(01:26:15):
like it. I feel like we have different conversations. It's refreshing.
There are different new people. I also can introduce, like
you know, like you guys got to meet my friend
Kara and so many of my other friends out there.
You know, it's like you get to introduce and make connections.
It's great, hubs everyone together, you know what I mean?
It really nuts?

Speaker 1 (01:26:33):
Yeah, no, I'm We'll be out there again this year.
Is always.

Speaker 3 (01:26:38):
But you want to shout out to you know, you know,
as you shouting at your home, anyone you want to
shout out along your way, shout out any homies.

Speaker 5 (01:26:46):
We always ask the people, do oh do I want
to shout out anybody were like I'd love to like
or what or.

Speaker 9 (01:26:53):
Like your favorite growers, extractors, entrepreneurs in the Massachusetts market.

Speaker 5 (01:26:59):
I definitely want to shout out Emily Robinson. She helps
me out with like managing my stuff, and she's also
one of my best friends. So she's my manager and
also one of my best friends. Love her nice, And
would also like to shout out can of Care Docs

(01:27:21):
for working with me to help provide people to get
discounts with medical cards. Yeah, Like, anytime you're up for
a renewal, if you like mention my name, you can
or you can go to my website you can get
money off a renewal. And like pretty much any state
where you can get a med card, yeah, Michigan, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maine.

Speaker 6 (01:27:43):
Like get those cards.

Speaker 5 (01:27:44):
Yeah, get your med cards. Go to dabcowgirl dot com
and click on medical cards and like the dropdown menu
or whatever the little Hamburger sidebar, depending on what browser
you're on. And I just think that's as somebody who
like started using cannabis every day when I got access
to medical marijuana and found out, like, you know, how

(01:28:07):
much better medical weed in California was versus the like
weed my friends had given me in New England when
I was in high school. Like I that was what
had me start smoking weed every single day, So like
I really and that was before California went recreational, So
I just I really like getting to work with a

(01:28:27):
medical card company is really cool for me, especially one
that's available in so many states so I can travel
to different states and talk to different people about it.
So yeah, help people, yeah, and like make connections because
they also love to work with like dispensaries, like both
recreational and medical, to like help them like promote to
medical customers that like, you know, they can shop here

(01:28:50):
because there are lots of REX stores that'll like offer
discounts to men patients and stuff like that, especially ones
that are loyal, so like, you know, it's cool to
help make that connection. Yeah, it's just it's it's great.
I like to do that. And then like who else
my best friend since childhood, Gina Garcia, so great, love them.

(01:29:11):
They actually work for Blackstone Valley Cannabis, which does have
some pretty good Rosin out in Massachusetts. If you're looking
to support a local brand always yeah, mm hmm, really
right in Uxbridge, Massachusetts. I believe that's where they're at.
Delicious Muffberry. It was great. Yeah, Yeah, that one was great.

(01:29:34):
I had that recently. Like you know, and I'm really
bad at remembering names, so if I remember a name
right off the top of my head, that's pretty great.

Speaker 6 (01:29:42):
Good, you're good. Yeah, this has been It's been a
fun episode.

Speaker 5 (01:29:46):
This has been lovely. Yeah. I feel like I had
more questions, but I can't find them in my phone.
We'll have to bring the Blue Moon ice cream.

Speaker 6 (01:29:54):
Oh, Chronic amazing.

Speaker 5 (01:29:56):
It's my favorite child. I haven't tried it yet. It's amazing. Yeah,
I haven't tried again Superman. I also haven't tried Superman
yet because that's also regional. Like I forget, we're figuring out.
It was like marshmallow mixed with something else. I can't remember.
Rocky Road. No, I love Rocky Road too.

Speaker 6 (01:30:12):
That's it's correct.

Speaker 5 (01:30:13):
I've had that.

Speaker 4 (01:30:16):
I know you know what I want.

Speaker 5 (01:30:17):
I want to bring up something.

Speaker 9 (01:30:18):
Have you guys ever tried a Boston cooler?

Speaker 5 (01:30:22):
Those donut things?

Speaker 4 (01:30:24):
I believe I could.

Speaker 9 (01:30:25):
Be mistaken, like terribly mistaken, but I'm pretty sure it's
ginger ale with ice cream, right, Dave, I think so
ginger ale with ice.

Speaker 4 (01:30:33):
Cream, So it's like a root beer float.

Speaker 6 (01:30:34):
I don't go with that at home, but that sounds great. Well,
I think you're thinking Boston cream donut.

Speaker 5 (01:30:40):
He is thinking, oh, yeah, you're right. You guys are right.

Speaker 7 (01:30:43):
Yeah, it's it's ginger ale, which is crazy.

Speaker 5 (01:30:46):
Why would we not do it ice cream? Yep, Boston,
we don't have burners out there because respectfully, okay, that's
is one of my questions. Really, why do you guys
call that ginger ale when it's cream soda? I am not.

Speaker 3 (01:30:59):
I am not a huge I like the new one,
the Black Cherry Birds. It's really I actually like, this
is Michigan. People in Michigan.

Speaker 5 (01:31:06):
Look at where's the ginger people? Look at here's so
real like gingern It's not. There's not there's no ginger flavor.
There's no ginger flavors. There's like yeah, because Seagrems is
a real ginger ale.

Speaker 6 (01:31:22):
I know you're hating.

Speaker 5 (01:31:27):
I'm not hating. I'm not hating on it. It's good.
It's just where's the ginger. It's like it's a good
cream soda. It's just that's like a cream. It's a point.

Speaker 1 (01:31:35):
I don't drink it often, but I didn't really think
it was a cream soda, to be honest, I just
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:31:40):
Next time you drink it, think about how cream soda
takes and tell me it doesn't taste like cream soda.
So technically it's a ginger all right, Technically it is
a ginger ale, but when you taste it, it doesn't.
It tastes more like a cream soda, and the texture
is more like a cream soda than a ginger. That's
for sure.

Speaker 7 (01:31:57):
Sugar is more sweet.

Speaker 6 (01:31:58):
I feel like I need to go have a ginger.

Speaker 5 (01:32:03):
Like Honestly, I think next time you can taste all
the different ginger ales, like with one of those blind
tests that they do in the boxes.

Speaker 6 (01:32:13):
Yeah, that'd be cool.

Speaker 5 (01:32:15):
That would be really fun. How fast by the second
I think I could get it, I think I could
get it really fat.

Speaker 9 (01:32:28):
Do you like Canada dry because that's ginger?

Speaker 3 (01:32:32):
Yeah, that's real ginger to Seagrumsnady.

Speaker 5 (01:32:35):
Seagrums Canada dry. Almost every other ginger ale tastes like
ginger ail. That one tastes like a cream soda. It
has a cream soda texture. And I'm not saying it's bad.
It's just that like I'll forget that I'm like in
the region that I'm in and I'll be crating like
a real gingery ginger ale and then I'll be like

(01:32:57):
ordering a ginger ale and then I'll get it and
I'll be like, oh, this is like basically a cream soda,
and I like can't send it back because that would
be disrespectful to their culture. Their culture.

Speaker 9 (01:33:08):
I do like a really nice spicy ginger beer here
and there, but like Berners for Michigans is just like
it's a nostalgic flavor.

Speaker 5 (01:33:16):
You know. My mom's explained that to me, like she
she grew up where they grew up. She's explained this
to me. She's like, you can't tell people about this.
She would be ashamed of me for going on a
podcast and speaking about this.

Speaker 4 (01:33:28):
You know, no, but it's reported.

Speaker 6 (01:33:32):
It's fine.

Speaker 5 (01:33:32):
Like the thing that like you know, said I'm keeping
it in there too bad. I stand by when I
said it has like a cream soda type texture. Funny,
I don't. I don't disagree either, So it's kind of
funny like it like, yeah, it's not bad, it's just creamy.

Speaker 4 (01:33:49):
I like creamy.

Speaker 7 (01:33:51):
Yeah, but that's not ginger full circle.
