Live from Heady Happenings

0:00BubblemanI want to make sure that I am live. Yes, yes, you guys can see me? Can you see me? Can you hear me? Ah, the details, always fun details. Welcome, everybody. Just going to make 1000% sure that you can hear me, and then I'm going to start the recording.

0:20SpeakerRecord to this computer.

0:23BubblemanThanks, John. Welcome, everyone, to Hash Church Season 12, Episode 10. The Heady Happenings. I'm going to take a quick shot of, ooh, I think it's ginger and turmeric.

0:39BubblemanOh, my God. Any of you that pound ginger and turmeric know exactly what I just went through. My eyes are probably going to water for a little bit. Aaron, how you doing, Aaron? But I would like to mention first, okay, so today we're going to be Trying something a little bit differently, kind of stressing me out. I'm going to do the show live from my office, but in about five minutes, I'm going to bounce out of here.

1:08BubblemanI'm going to drive downtown Vancouver to this venue where this event called Heady Happenings is happening. So I'm going to try and stream. And if streaming doesn't work, i.e. it's too loud for streaming, especially because I'm not like organized. So if any of you are organized and understand how to split microphones And speakers, I would love, I think it's just a small tool that you buy that you can plug in and then it goes into the computer.

1:36BubblemanBut I'd love for someone to reach out to me and explain it to me because I'm a bit of an idiot. Anyway, I'm not going to do the regular old sponsorship mention today, but I am going to shout my sponsors out. I'd love to start with shouting out the Press Club. Excuse me. So today, actually, I wonder if there's a... Learn my background, video and effects. I think there's no way for me.

2:06BubblemanThere we go. To be an active speaker in the video. So let's see if that shows up for you guys. I don't know. Oh yeah, look at that. I'm in the corner. All right. So. The Press Club have been unbelievable sponsors. I just can't say enough about them. They are awesome. And by the way, Jeffrey, I see you in the chat there, bro. I see you. So today I am going to be bringing all of the bags and spoons and funnels that the Press Club sent me.

2:35BubblemanAnd as I do little interviews with people at Heady Happenings with Ross and Brands and et cetera, I'm going to give them each a gift from the Press Club. So the Press Club is kind of sponsoring Heady Happenings without even sponsoring Heady Happenings. So thank you to the Press Club. Thank you guys for being such fucking cool guys. I'm not going to read anything about you guys today and the brothers and the this and the that.

2:56BubblemanI've done that enough. I just want to shout out a personal thank you to you guys, not only for your support of Hatch Church, But for your support of the community and the community really appreciates it. You guys are fucking awesome. And I'm just happy to call you guys friends. So yes, thank you as well. So that is the Press Club. If you can support the Press Club, they have these awesome new double bags right here.

3:24BubblemanThe Press Club 3x6 10 pack. Look at that. Come on now. Now, I don't know what alarm is going off in my thing here, but I have an alarm going off. Maybe I'll figure it out. Maybe I won't. All right, well, I'm going to put my, let's go back on.

3:48SpeakerI don't think they did. There we are. Sorry about that, guys. So shout out to the Press Club. Oh, make sure I'm going to have this muted.

4:02SpeakerMorning. The stream's current bit rate is low. All right. So I know that this video is sitting here somewhere and I just can't find it. There it is.

4:13BubblemanAll right.

4:14SpeakerSo yeah, shout out to the Press Club for sponsoring Hatch Church. We love you guys. And today you are inadvertently sponsoring Petty Happenings. I'm going to give away a bunch of press bags, a bunch of spoons, and a bunch of the static free funnel. So thank you guys for that. Next up. Our boys at Puffco. Huge thank you to Puffco. I mean, they've been lacing us up since day one.

4:39SpeakerI've been supporting this company for almost 10 years. They've done more to mainstream dabbing than any single company out there. I just got back from Colorado. I want to shout out Scott, the rep there, who was an absolute fucking champion, took incredible care of me, came to our bubble man party that we threw in Colorado, which I'm going to talk a little bit about later today. And just really went above and beyond and is truly just a super, super nice guy.

5:08SpeakerSo shout out to Puffco for lacing us up, for supporting. And really, you know, this week is the week that Forrest and Monica and Etienne are in the UN, at the UN in Austria speaking. And also that is all thanks to Puffco. Huge thank you, Puffco, for supporting us. Yes. Sorry, Dirty. I am on my shitty mic. Yeah, I know. Don't worry. I'm going to change that soon.

5:36SpeakerOkay, so shout out to Puffco. Shout out to everyone. I am going to leave right now. I'm going to go onto my phone. Ideally, some people would come in. Let me see if Colin's going to pop in right now because I could really use his help. Then I could make him co-host.

5:53SpeakerAnd that would be super helpful because I want to make sure I can accept people into the room. And if I leave and people start coming into the room, they're not going to be able to get in.

6:04BubblemanSo apologies for the microphone. I have my good microphone rolled up because I'm taking it to do hash church at this event.

6:11SpeakerAnd so, yes, microphone. Oh, and now I'm muting it. Let me mute.

6:23SpeakerHello. All right, so that's their input volume is proper. Output volume. Beaker. Yeah, it's the best I can do. It's the best I can do. Apologies for it not working that well. So hopefully someone's going to pop in right now because all I need is one and then I can change this to my phone, jump in my car and drive down to the heady happening. Thank you, John.

6:52SpeakerAppreciate that. It's always nice to know that I'm not completely shitting the bed. And I appreciate you guys for all being in here this morning, you know, waiting anxiously for Hash Church. I didn't invite a ton of people today. I know STN is not going to be around. I think I invited Caleb, Dr. Mark and Colin. So very, very short, small group. But my plan was to do sort of one on one interviews with people that are at the heady happening.

7:18SpeakerSo hopefully that'll work out. Hopefully we can get Caleb or Pauline or Dr. Mark in the house.

7:29SpeakerI'm going to hit them up real quick.

7:35SpeakerAnd then we will be good. Let me just mute my mic while I call.

7:42SpeakerIs that the driest throat from Colorado? For those of you that don't know, Colorado is incredibly dry. It's a very big eye-opening for me personally as a hash maker because it's just absolutely, it's just night and day making hash in the Pacific Northwest compared to making hash in Colorado where it is just absolutely so fucking dry. They definitely have their work cut out for them. Too heady for me this time.

8:14SpeakerToo heady? Can't be too heady. Yeah, dry as fuck. It's crazy.

8:23SpeakerSo I'll be doing a little bit of clocking this morning. It's going to happen. Dr. Mark says he's popping in here soon. And now he's saying, dude, I need the link.

8:36BubblemanSo I will send him the link.

8:40SpeakerHe must not have received the email. I'm excited to go and check out how he happens. Like I said, I don't know how long we're going to last for. I don't know if we're going to get, if we're going to get, you guys can hear me, right? This fucking thing is acting all sorts of funny right now.

9:03SpeakerYeah, exactly. No more blowout, Tashish and Cowboy. Yeah, it is a good thing I'm on the turmeric and ginger. You're not lying there.

9:11BubblemanOh, too heady for my wallet.

9:13SpeakerOh, wow. Sorry, Jadim. I've got an extra ticket if you want to come. Meet me there, dude. I'll give you a ticket. I'll donate my extra ticket to you, bro. So come on down and meet me. I do kind of have a cold. I mean, it's not a cold. It doesn't feel like a cold, but it's a super dry, itchy throat. I don't really have like a sniffles or anything like that, but I was definitely coughing this morning.

9:41BubblemanSo maybe it is the beginning, but we'll have to see.

9:47SpeakerAll right, here we go. Dr. Mark, thank you so much. Love that you came in, Dr. Mark, because it is just you and I. Okay, good. I'm recording. I almost thought I wasn't recording there for a second. There is so much shit to do. Yes, I'm also sponsored by Bubble Bags. I didn't want to mention that today because I'm short. How are you doing, Dr. Mark? How are you doing?

10:13SpeakerLet me get my headphones on. Hold on. Sure. Well, listen, when you're the only other one in the room, it's not a big deal. It's only once more than two people come into the room that it becomes this triple... I can hear myself a little bit in your mic, but let me... Here, let me move my mic closer to my mouth. How's that? Is that better?

10:34SpeakerHow you doing, Mark? A little quiet. But let me, I'm good. I've got to actually drive right now. So what I am going to do is I'm going to join this Zoom meeting right now on my phone. And then I'm going to drive to downtown Vancouver to this event called Heady Happenings. And we're going to try and start from there. Let me just see that I can get in here real quick.

11:00SpeakerI'm going to mute this mic.

11:10BubblemanStay co-host. There we go. Can you hear me? Can you hear me? I can hear you, but it's weird. I can hear. Oh, I got to disconnect from the computer. And then I got to connect to my phone. There we go. There we go. All right, there's two of me. I'm going to shut this video off.

11:35SpeakerDouble man.

11:36BubblemanAnd we, yeah, double man, exactly. And then I'm going to drive to this event. Holy shit.

11:44SpeakerSo how are you doing, Dr. Mark? You know, I'm coming to Quebec tomorrow. Oh, you are? Okay. Okay. So you'll be close by.

11:50BubblemanI'm going to be close by, dude. If I can make it, I will pop down there for like a dinner.

11:56SpeakerYeah, absolutely. Oh, my gosh. How long are you here for, Marcus? I believe it's till Saturday. Oh, we got to make it happen, Kevin. Come on now. You're going to be an hour away from me.

12:10BubblemanYeah, I'm jealous when I see you down in Denver with all our friends. How was Denver? It was fun, right? Oh, my goodness, dude. Denver is amazing. Yeah, that's a good time. It's amazing. Yeah. It's amazing. It's an absolute stellar, and I mean stellar, group of people. Just an absolute fucking stellar group of people. I am completely, no, it's ridiculous, dude. So we had a great time.

12:40BubblemanI met a guy by the name of Kyle, and I want to shout him out. Thanks to Adam Dunn for introducing us. And basically, this guy has an incredible space in Denver, right? On town, right in the Milk District. He calls it the... Gonna partner up with him and help him have events. Obviously have my own events for Bubble Man Brand, but also, you know, like Matt Robertson, Glass Artists, all... Oh, he's cutting in and out.

13:22SpeakerYou're cutting in and out.

13:29SpeakerWonky Internet. Uh... Marcus, I think you froze.

13:48SpeakerHe's freshly frozen. Uh-oh, now he's just an image.

13:55SpeakerOh, good God. Can you all hear me?

13:58BubblemanAll right.

13:59SpeakerI'm back. I'm back, dude. Sorry.

14:02BubblemanThat's because I left my house. So I was on my internet and then it went to cellular service and there's like a one minute sort of blurb between those two things. So I was shouting out Kyle. And his beautiful apartment. We had an amazing gathering. I think it was on Thursday and we just invited like, you know, 50 to 60 people from the community. 60 to 50 people in the community in Denver is like no problem.

14:30BubblemanThank you so much for watching.

14:54BubblemanAnd so we're trying desperately to figure out some sort of collaborations with the bubble man in the legal market and the minor melts. We want to kind of figure out a collaboration with those guys because they just, there's no denying the caliber of resin that these guys are producing. Just beautiful solventless rosins that are, you know, make your mouth water.

15:15SpeakerAwesome. Yeah, yeah, Denver's been a hot spot for good concentrates and, you know, Nick and T and the Incredibles crew. And yeah, yeah, there's always been really good concentrates. That's where, you know, Kind Bill was in the Denver area for a long time. Now he's out here. But yeah, yeah, that's great, Marcus. I'm glad you could make the trip down. Yeah.

15:42BubblemanDude, I want to make dinner on camera. You know, parties at this place, I'll be there almost every month. Shout out to all the fucking amazing people in Denver. Shout out to Rock Road, Aurora and Thornton, George and Malik. Thank you so much for joining us.

16:30BubblemanThank you.

16:47BubblemanHe was definitely like completely holding conversations, completely sane, completely present, but like vibrating at a frequency that was like, just like, I don't even know how to explain it. It was godlike. It was insanity, dude. 70 strips, 70 hits of LSD, no problemo. And I was like, damn, I'd be melting off 10, like melting, bro.

17:15SpeakerYeah, I'm not sure if that effect kind of like plateaus out, you know, like at a certain level. It could only take so much. Your brain is only wired to, you know, have so much at one time. I don't know.

17:30BubblemanI believe that originally. I think you could go further with it, though. He has a relationship with it that is... Very unique, let's just say so. Yeah, he's an incredibly human being. And he's uber super successful. He's like dynamic and awesome. And he had the best shirt on at the party. And I'll tell you what his shirt said. It was a green shirt. And it said, whoop.

17:57BubblemanAnd it had the nice blue shirt. And it said, whoop.

18:04BubblemanAnd then underneath the Nike swoop, there was, or swoosh, it said, just borrow it. And I thought, holy fuck, is that ever a fucking awesome shirt, dude? Look, just borrow it. So good. That's a tour shirt if I ever saw one. So I am not able to see if anyone's trying to come in on my phone right now, so... If we do see anyone else, yeah, I know.

18:38BubblemanOh my gosh. Participants. Okay, so apparently there's three. It's you, me, and Mark. I can see it now. If I leave this participant page open, I should be able to let Colin in when he pops in. I only invited you, Caleb, and Colin in today. Okay. I've got a really good show planned for next week. It's a big sort of sponsored version in conjunction with the release of the Bubble Man all-in-one vision box from Cannabrand Solutions via C-Cell.

19:09BubblemanSo those guys are going to come on and we're going to talk to their like NASA scientist Steve who's going to come on and break some things down in regards to the development of this new little piece of hardware. And then, of course, we're going to get super stoned and have a great day. So what are you puffing on over there, Dr. Mark?

19:27SpeakerI don't know. What is this? Dude, I don't know, man.

19:35SpeakerYeah, it's, uh, I don't know. I have the box upstairs. I have to go look at it. I don't know. I, yeah, that's lame response. I know it smells delicious though.

19:45BubblemanWell, that's, that's enough for me, dude. When you get enough, I mean, I guess it was a gift or something. You didn't go buy it.

19:51SpeakerUh, no, yeah, it's exactly, it was a gift, a gift from a friend. So yeah, yeah, that's the best kind of hash.

19:57BubblemanOh my God. Free hash is the best, best kind of hash. One of my first competitors locally here for bubble bags was, uh, this guy by the name of Burt Dan and Burt Dan and his brother were playing with like a propane bottle when they were little kids and it exploded and burst into flames and they were just both terribly burned. Dan was, Thank you for watching.

20:38BubblemanOh my gosh. Oh my gosh.

20:58BubblemanYeah, I thought that's a pretty cool name because back then, you know, everyone threw their trim away. So if you were able to buy these bags, you suddenly had free hash. And so that was what he called the company. And shout out to you, Bern Dan, wherever you are. I hope you're doing well, buddy.

21:15SpeakerIt's been a long time. Would people show up at the store and say, hey, I want some free hash?

21:20BubblemanHe was a mail order guy, but I'm sure he had people asking him for free hash.

21:32SpeakerThat is for sure.

21:34BubblemanSo here, I'll give you a little shot of my view right now if I can turn my screen around. Oh, there we go.

21:39SpeakerOh, wow.

21:40BubblemanDude, are you kidding me? So this is the highway. I'm right at Horseshoe Bay. The ocean is to my left and in front of me. And this is a beautiful little opening that you come through on the Sea to Sky Highway when you're leaving Whistler, Caulfield in the background, sunshine in your face, and the Pacific Ocean and Vancouver Island just over to the right there. Absolutely phenomenal, dude.

22:07BubblemanI love the mountains, Dr. Mark.

22:10SpeakerYeah, you'd love Vermont.

22:12BubblemanOf course I'd love Vermont, dude. What are you talking about?

22:16SpeakerWell, you've been to Quebec, which is just right up the road. I can see Quebec from my window.

22:22BubblemanDude, it's probably why I love the township so much. It's such a vibe. I mean, don't get me wrong. It's going to be different than Vermont because it's so French. We have that full French culture, which is a big part of it, but... Yeah, I mean, listen, I want to go to Vermont since the first time I ever heard the picture of nectar.

22:44SpeakerYeah. You know what I mean?

22:47BubblemanLike, what? Nectars?

22:48SpeakerI want to go. Yeah, unfortunately, it's closed. That's a bummer.

22:53BubblemanNo, well, this was 91 or 92 when I first heard fish.

22:58SpeakerOr the album.

22:59BubblemanWhenever that album came out, did it come out in 90 or 91? 92. Okay, 92 then, yeah. That was the first fish I had heard before Junta or Yunta, whatever you want to call it, before anything else. My buddy Jeff made a mixtape for me and he put on Stash, he put on Chalk Dust Torture, he put like some key songs from Nectar and Picture of Nectar and that was it.

23:26SpeakerYeah, yeah, I went to the record store the day that that CD was released and I bought my copy that day. So yeah, that was in 1992 and that was their first release on Elektra, which is a big label. Right. So it was like their first big label release because everything before that was just kind of like small and independent. So yeah, they were on their way.

23:50SpeakerThat's so cool.

23:51BubblemanMan, were they ever, dude. What a cool thing to be a part of, you know? To be able to be, like, I'm guaranteeing it was 92 then. I thought it was 91. That guy made that mixtape for me, and dude, I just jumped in with both feet. By 93, I was seeing my first show at the Commodore Ballroom with Baby Gramps, who opened up for them.

24:15SpeakerYeah, I first heard the music of Fish at a Grateful Dead concert. It was July 4th, 1989 at Rich Stadium in Buffalo, New York. Wow. This, I was, I was drinking Heineken and eating mushrooms, but this Isuzu Trooper with Vermont plates pulled up next to me and there were a bunch of crunchy hippies in that trooper. There's like five people that piled out of that thing. And four people went in four different directions.

24:48SpeakerAnd one guy kind of stayed behind and put these big wooden cabinet speakers out on the top of his trooper there and started playing this incredible music. And I'm like, okay, I turned off my Grateful Dead to listen to this. And I'm like, I was listening to it. And this dude... I had just a pair of jean cutoffs on, no shirt, no shoes, you know, fully tan, dready, hippie dude sitting on his bumper playing the conga to this craziest music I'd ever heard.

25:23SpeakerAt least, I had no idea what I was listening to and so I go up to the guy and I'm like, I'm like, hey man, what is this we're listening to? And he got in my face and he's like, dude, This is the most incredible Bowie. He's like, this fucking Bowie blows all fucking... And I'm thinking... It's David Bowie. I'm thinking, okay, this is some David Bowie we're listening to.

25:49SpeakerI had no idea it was some song called David Bowie. So he's like, dude, this Bowie is the sickest fucking Bowie. Oh, man. And then I went back to my car and just kind of listened to the whole end of the song with the crescendo. And then I walk up to the guy again and I'm like, dude, what David Bowie song is it? He goes, no, dude, this isn't David Bowie.

26:14SpeakerThis is Phish. It's their song. And he broke it down for me, Marcus. He was like, he got religious, like the way a hash smoker would get. You know, like, he's like, dude. Or someone who loves Phish. Oh, someone who loves Phish. And he's like, dude, you need to see this band. And he started breaking down the Gamehenge thing, started talking to me all about it. So the first time I heard the music of Phish was, yeah, in the parking lot of this Grateful Dead show.

26:41SpeakerYeah. July 4th, 1989. And then I fast forward to it was April the 16th, 1991. And they were playing in at Rick's American Cafe in Ann Arbor. And my band was playing the same venue. We played there on Friday. We were like the dead cover band in Ann Arbor at the time, which is a big heady town. Ann Arbor is a really cool destination in Michigan if you ever go, Marcus.

27:18SpeakerAnyway, so yeah, we actually had a band practice that night. And here's something that maybe a few people know. But the drummer in my dead cover band is Kevin Shapiro, who's Fish's archivist. He's been Fish's archivist for the last 30 years or so. He got the gig as archivist like back in 95 or 96. But at the time, so it was really interesting on that night in April in Ann Arbor, Kevin was in, so Kevin went to school at Michigan State at the time, which is in East Lansing, which is a little ways away.

27:56SpeakerBut we had a band practice because we were looking to replace a keyboard player who got busted on Dead Tour. That's a whole different story. But we were auditioning a keyboard player that night in town and I was like, hey man, there's this band from Vermont that's playing at Rick's tonight. Let's go check them out. I mean, they're just like this really heady band. I explained the whole David Bowie, crunchy hippie thing.

28:23SpeakerAnd Kevin is like, no, dude, he's like, I'm not interested in that. So Kevin, who ended up becoming... Damn! Yeah, so he did not go that night. Kevin didn't see him until later on that fall. He went to the Agora Ballroom down in Bowling Green, Ohio. I think that was his first show. And then the next night in Cleveland they played. But yeah, Kevin didn't see him until later on that year and then ended up...

28:53SpeakerFollowing him around and developing such a huge tape collection. He was a digital trader, digital taping kind of was in at the time. And so he was amassing this huge collection.

29:06BubblemanOh, yeah.

29:07SpeakerAnd so he also got a law degree along the way. And so when the band ended up hiring him as their archivist, like in 95 or 96, and he moved here to Vermont. So he lives right over here in Burlington. But he'd be mad if I was talking about it.

29:24BubblemanDude, I can't see your video anymore. I dropped my phone. The one time I took my phone off of it, I dropped it. It hit my knee and your video is now gone. So I don't know if your video is only gone for me or gone for the entire live chat. I don't know if you're in the YouTube chat or if you're watching, but I can't do any of that from my phone.

29:43BubblemanMy phone is a limitator for me and I'm also driving, so...

29:49SpeakerThank you for watching.

30:11SpeakerI used to have an old hippie friend who said, no matter where you go, there you are. Well, he wasn't wrong.

30:18BubblemanHe wasn't wrong, dude. In fact, he couldn't have been more right.

30:23SpeakerAbsolutely. Yes. So anyway, so yeah. So when did you first see him, Marcus? When was the first year?

30:30BubblemanI saw them on August 22nd, 1993 in Vancouver at the Commodore Ballroom. You should look up that set list, bro.

30:40SpeakerYeah, no, that's a good one. Did they re-release that? They may have released that.

30:45BubblemanI think they did something at one point in time with it. I had the show since the day that I saw it. I managed to grab a recording from it from one of the tapers. You know, it was only less than two years before I would buy my own dat and start recording in 95.

31:01SpeakerYeah, I mean, that's like that. That that was exactly. Right at the advent of people who, you know, like I'm old enough to be part of that dead crew that was still using Sony D5 cassette, you know, tape. And we were cassette taping, you know, most of like the 80s. And then when it got into digital, yeah, it's a whole different ballgame, right? I mean, it was just.

31:32SpeakerThe sound was just incredible. And those digital soundboards, oh my God. Yeah. Would just melt. Yeah. I mean, and Fish was so good. I mean, if you got a soundboard of Fish back in the day, I know the soundboard of the, what was that? The Marquee in 90. So that was a key gig. I think that was just re-released, the Marquee gig from, I think it's December 28th.

31:59Speaker1990, something like that. And what Kevin was saying is that that's extremely important gig because that was the gig when the Elektra folks first kind of saw them in a bar playing all this really, you know, intricate music and fugues. I mean, fish is just very complicated music, right? And so as soon as you... Hear that your musical ear perks up immediately because you're like, oh, my God, these people are incredible players.

32:31SpeakerAnd what are they singing about? You know, if your dog ever cat ever dies, I'll buy you a you. What the fuck?

32:39BubblemanPoster is dead. Right. I mean, poster is so dead.

32:45SpeakerWhere the Dead's lyrics were very prophetic and poetic, the Fish lyrics were almost like nonsensical in a way that really made you wonder what were they thinking of and what were they talking about, but like... Tom and Trey had such a rich history of writing songs back when they were kids.

33:07BubblemanSo, I mean, when you write songs... Super influenced by the dead, you know, but in a different timeline. So, like, the dead went this route of, like, almost classical, like, poetry. Like, it's like the lyrical genius of Robert Hunter and, you know, some of these guys for the dead were just... Whereas... You know, the music came out of... The music didn't necessarily come out of tripping balls like the lyrics.

33:37BubblemanAnd so with Phish, I think they were inspired by the dead and probably tripped many balls listening to the dead, him and Tom. And now their music actually comes out of like this tripping balls, this super psychedelic like... Like you said, the lyrics are so out there, dude. They're just like... Whereas the lyrics for The Grateful Dead are just almost like... I don't even know, like just the words alone could bring a tear to your eye.

34:03SpeakerOh, it has many, many a time. Like a friend says, if you don't see music that brings you to tears, see better music. It's to me, I mean, the thing with Tom and Trey, too, I mean, think about it. They were they were kids like us. I grew up in the Jersey suburbs. So were they. They grew up in the suburbs listening to FM radio, you know, smoking weed behind the dumpster at school.

34:33SpeakerYou know, I mean, doing all the things that you do when you grew up in America, when we grew up in the 70s and 80s. You know, and growing up in the New York metropolitan area where Trey and Tom grew up was in Princeton, which is, you know, kind of like in between Philadelphia and New York, but it's the same kind of vibe, you know, small little bedroom communities with, you know, parents who commuted to work.

34:59SpeakerA lot of our moms just back in that day stayed home. So, you know, it's still feeling the post-war, you know, Increase of the economy and people were gaining wealth and suburbs were being built. I mean, it was just, it was a different era. Jerry grew up, his mom owned a bar, right? And he grew up really in the beatnik era. So Jerry's influences were really different than Trey's influences.

35:30SpeakerLike Trey listened to Jimmy Page and Frank Zappa, you know, Garcia was listening to- Django Reinhardt and Bill Monroe. I mean, it's just, I'm saying different generations. Yeah. So you're, you're, you're the influence, but it's really, you know, just, I mean, think about it, Marcus, just looking back over the time course of what's evolved in our lives. I mean, How Jerry passed in 95. And, you know, most, you know, musicians who play rock music kind of come and go.

36:07SpeakerBut man, the dead's music is more popular now. Thank you for watching.

36:35SpeakerJohn Mayer playing in a baseball stadium for hundreds of dollars was just, I'd rather go to a small venue and see a small dead cover band, you know, that's got my friends in it, you know. So yeah, for dead cover, I prefer the local bands, not some baseball stadium, you know, nostalgic act. But, you know, Weir, I mean, and look at like how Bob Weir is passing.

36:55SpeakerI mean, so many people, like after Bob passed, just, you know, reached out. I mean, from like people just like in the mainstream, you know. People you wouldn't think that were maybe closet deadheads or whatever, but even like their contemporaries like Mick Fleetwood and Stevie Nicks and like other people who were, you know, playing music and playing the venues that the dead were playing when the dead were a touring act.

37:22SpeakerAnd, you know, Marcus, I count myself so lucky as being Thank you for watching.

37:49BubblemanI'm driving through a movie set. I'm literally on a movie set right now. There's fucking lights everywhere. There's a giant motion mechanica, like $50,000 camera in the sky next to me. Cops everywhere, dude. Holy shit.

38:05SpeakerThey're making a movie of you, right?

38:07BubblemanYeah, not of me, that's for sure, but they're definitely making a movie over there. That's wild. Sorry to interrupt you, but you don't see that...

38:15SpeakerNow, we'll have to look and say, where did they use Vancouver as a movie setting? Let's see if you can see your car going by.

38:26BubblemanDude, I'm telling you, Vancouver has been a movie set for like 25 to 30 years. They used to film the X-Files here back in the day.

38:33SpeakerYeah. Ooh, I'm getting close. So you're that close to Vancouver. You're already there.

38:40BubblemanI'm in Vancouver. I'm in downtown Vancouver right now. Wow, how cool is that? So the ocean is right in front of me through those buildings. And on the other side, if you can see the buildings way far away, those are in North Vancouver across the water here. So this is, yeah, we're right in the thick of it right here. Cordova Street, apparently I have three minutes and I'm going to this arcade to do Hash Church, which...

39:03BubblemanEven when he asked me, I was like, isn't that going to be loud? And he was like, well, I don't know. Let's check it out. So this could be a complete and total bust of a hash church. I might end up just going and finishing it in my truck if it's too loud. I also don't have a proper splitter for the headphones. So I'm going to be like doing the old one air pod in each ear type of thing, which is never that great.

39:26BubblemanBut you know what? I digress. I'd rather try than give up.

39:30SpeakerYeah, we had to keep the streak of number of hash churches going, right? Like you could not do it, right?

39:38BubblemanThank you for watching. See you next time.

40:04SpeakerRight? That's exactly what that's called. Whenever you're outside your sandbox, I call it anyway.

40:11BubblemanThat is a crazy portion in front of me. I don't even know what the fuck that thing is. It is crazy. All right, we're close. I'm 200 meters away. So let's see if I can find myself a nice parking spot on the straight. I think I'm going to be able to. It looks like Rockstar parking for bubble men. Let's see what we got. Nine to ten. Look at this.

40:36BubblemanActually, Greta is even, maybe, should I go further? For an even more rock star parking? No, I think I fucked it up. I did. I did. Gonna have to do a Yubi. Gonna have to do a Yubi. I got greedy, Dr. Mark.

40:58BubblemanSometimes we get greedy with our parking spots.

41:01SpeakerKnowing when to say when is the secret of life.

41:04BubblemanYes, I think this is the Canna guy in front of me. At least he's got the Canna jacket.

41:08SpeakerOh, there you go.

41:09BubblemanWe'll see how this goes. You must be at the right place. I'm definitely at the right place. Let's see what we got going on here. Let's see what we got going on here. What's up, dude? You're on Hash Church. Hannah in the house. That's what's up. All right, so last time I was here, I bumped into Scott Deppie from Mothership. I literally bumped into him right here.

41:43BubblemanAnd in fact, it was the first time we had met in person. We had talked on the phone and done emails and stuff, but we had never actually met before. So that was kind of cool. All right. So, of course, I don't bring an assistant because that would just be ridiculous. Right. Like, why would I do that?

42:04SpeakerYou need a cameraman, right?

42:07BubblemanWell, I think I need something, Dr. Mark.

42:10SpeakerWhere's Pinsky when we need him, right?

42:12BubblemanDude. Yeah. Where's my cameraman, Pinsky? That's hilarious. Oh, boy. All right. So. They're going to probably ask me for a ticket and then I'm going to have to go on my phone and find the ticket. So you will have to fill in the blanks with your with your wonderful stories.

42:34SpeakerWell, I was I saw this paper I covered in a high at nine last week that was kind of good. You need my ticket.

42:48SpeakerInteresting that they talked about identifying some high CBC varieties, and this was from, I think his name was Anthony Torres, I want to say. But the guys from Steep Hill were on there, so Don Land, Reggie Gaudino, and... The Reverend Kimron were on there. And so they identified some CBC varieties where these were all type three. So they were high in CBD. But what they noticed is that there were some sessions that were giving CBC levels on the order of about three to four to even sometimes as high as 5%.

43:30SpeakerSo I thought that was pretty cool. I thought if I remember correctly, the one that Caleb had pointed out in that previous paper was on the order of about 30%. That's what I thought I remember from our discussion. So yeah, people are finding high CBC varieties, which are cool. You know, what's that good for? I guess CBC has got all kinds of different medicinal properties. People have been showing that CBC is active against prostate cancer and other kinds of cancers.

44:06SpeakerAnd there might be all kinds of different pharmaceutical type applications of CBC. So stay tuned. It's cool stuff.

44:17SpeakerCBC for the win. Yes, I am crop sciences. I am going to CanMed this year. I'm not presenting now. My colleague is giving a poster on our work. I guess I could talk a little bit about our work. So what are we doing? We're looking at how our phytocannabinoid derivatives are affecting the immune system. So this is a pretty relevant topic. And there's a lot of people who are investigating this.

44:49SpeakerNot a lot of people, but a small group of people who are investigating this. And so what we're looking at is how HHCA, which is hydrogenated THCA, affects things called jerkat T cells, which are a leukemic T cell. So it's a T cell that's gone leukemic. So it's basically... Cancer infected. And so, yeah, you want to basically kill these cells when T cells go leukemic. But the thing about investigating these, so these cells express the cannabinoid receptors.

45:27SpeakerSo it's always interesting to look to see what cannabinoids do on them. But the issue is that THC is known to be immunosuppressive. So it actually suppresses the body's own immune system. And it does it through... interacting a variety of different pathways and so this is important to know because again there's people who are taking or who are consuming cannabis high THC cannabis again when they have cancer or other autoimmune disorders like AIDS and so we really have to understand How these compounds suppress the immune system.

46:12SpeakerAnd so what our hope is, is that the derivatives that we're making and we're making new compounds aren't going to have that immunosuppressive activity. So they'll still be. That's incredible. They'll still be anti-cancer, but they won't suppress the body's own immune response, which is extremely important. Because that's a concern now. That's one of the reasons why some doctors won't want to prescribe cannabis because it's known that, again, there's an immune suppression.

46:43SpeakerAnd that's exactly how CBD works to block COVID infection, right? Or what's called cytokines, the cytokine storm. So the cannabinoids are trying to regulate the body into homeostasis, right? We've talked about this on Hash Church a bunch. The endocannabinoid system is the body's chemical messaging system that helps maintain homeostasis.

47:14SpeakerIt's important to understand how if you're on potent chemotherapeutics, which are other drugs and other chemicals, how the cannabinoids affect the immune system because the immune system is the body's own pharmaceutical company. Anyway, I'll stop talking now.

47:36SpeakerI was just carrying on Marcus trying to create content. That was great.

47:42BubblemanNo, I've got, what was your name? Scott. Scott's here. He's got the sick camera. He's going to go get me the Wi-Fi password. So I'm just going to set up my computer here really quick. I'm at the heading happenings now. And let's see how it goes. We'll see how long I can last here before it gets so loud that I can't hear anything.

48:00SpeakerLet me see. What am I trying to do here? Oh, yeah. Wi-Fi. So. Okay. What are we? Do you want to maybe find it and put it on?

48:10BubblemanAnd I'll just talk to Dr. Mark. So check this out, Dr. Mark, just to give you a quick little tour of where we're at. We're at an arcade for the Heady Happenings. So I'll just give a quick little walkthrough. This is like a downtown Vancouver, like, I guess this is a venue that Kyle, the guy who throws Heady Happenings, he discovered this place. What's up, buddy? Fucking canna in the house.

48:32BubblemanGot the nice canna jacket. My son has that jacket. Here's Andrew from Whistler Technologies behind me. Just giving them a quick little tour. Well, he hooks me up with the Wi-Fi password. A couple of heady dudes over here. Some heady dudes, right? You guys are heady dudes? How's it going, boys? Hey, what's up, dude? What's up? This is Steve. You guys are on Hash Church right now.

48:55BubblemanYeah. Say hi to all the people watching. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you guys got some glass and some hash? All right. Well, listen, I'm around the corner. So any time today, if you guys want to do an interview, come talk about your brand. Here, open it up and show me what you got here. So what is this? Grape Cream Cake F2 out of the garden. Oh, I'm lit?

49:19BubblemanThanks, bro. Appreciate you. Oh, shit. I was like, it's empty, dude. All right. It's like a tough jar to see inside, but it... Oh, my God. It's gassy, bro. That is beautiful. Beautiful right there, Dr. Mark. I wish you could see it better. He thinks it's B04. Dude, thank you. I'm going to go dab this out right now. And at one point, come over around the corner and we'll do a little hashtag interview.

49:50BubblemanYou can tell me about your brand and stuff. Thanks. Well, it's been three minutes since I've been here and I already have a lovely jar. It actually reeked. Like when he opened it, it fucking reeked. So I'm in full support of that. See if we can get on this computer. With my microphone and get into a little bit of a better scenario here. Looks like we're online.

50:16BubblemanColin's going to come in in about a half an hour. We'll jump on here.

50:23BubblemanAll right. We're going to have two of these going here soon, Dr. Marcus. Nice. Can you see the chat? Thank you for watching.

50:55BubblemanJohnny B's in the house. What do you got there? Bubble bags? That's hilarious.

50:59SpeakerThis is the little kit in my car. I'm laughing. You gave me this bucket 10 years ago. Is that really Johnny B or is that some AI? That's Johnny B. I don't know why I'm getting feedback.

51:14BubblemanOh, I get it. I get it. I get it. Let me go over here. Let me get my headphones out.

51:24BubblemanAwesome. We go into headphones. Sorry, everyone, but appreciate you guys kind of.

51:32BubblemanSo. Yeah, I got to figure out is it's like on my brain's not working. I can hear my voice coming through my phone, but my phone is muted. So it's like I don't understand how that is happening.

51:50SpeakerCan you hear me?

51:50BubblemanI guess I got I can hear you. Perfect. But I need to stop hearing. In fact, let me see if I can just close this one. There we go. Let's see how this works. Let's see how this works. I can absolutely not hear you now. Okay. Because I shut my phone off. But it was affecting things. So, oh, there we go. Noise Renewable Raspberry Speaker. There we go.

52:16BubblemanThere we go. Marcus Clearpods. All right. Can you hear me now? I can hear you now, brother. Okay, good. Strangely enough, though, as I'm speaking, it's not showing me. There we go. All right. I think we're good. Are we doing this?

52:32SpeakerCan you see the Zoom chat?

52:36BubblemanYes. If I open up the Zoom chat, I can. But that's Zoom and there's nothing going on in the Zoom chat. Are you asking about the YouTube chat?

52:42SpeakerYeah. No. In the Zoom chat, I put a link there. Can you not see that link?

52:46BubblemanI can see it. Do I need to click on it?

52:48SpeakerI thought this is an interesting discussion since we, since you're in Canada and this was a Canada health, uh, tell me what it says again. Yeah. So this is a really interesting study. So this study is basically comparing heavy metals and pesticides and mycotoxins in stuff in the illicit market versus the regulated cannabis market. Right. So it's got like 32 authors on it. It's basically Health Canada looking at legacy market stuff that's out there and finding all kinds of stuff in there, including heavy metals, pesticides, and mycotoxins.

53:33SpeakerAnd a lower incident of that in the regulated market stuff. So yeah, it's a super interesting article.

53:46SpeakerI think we lost your...

53:51BubblemanI muted the microphone while you were talking and there's two ways for me to mute the microphone.

53:56SpeakerI can both mute it on the mic by pushing the...

54:00BubblemanOr I can mute it on the actual Zoom and I was trying to unmute it while it was already unmuted on Zoom. So thank you for bearing with me. I'm going to try and fix this video because it's doing this weird thing where it's like it's all futuristic and it's like moving me in and out and I don't want that.

54:20SpeakerI don't want that.

54:21BubblemanSo let's see if I can. Also, I'm on a brand new laptop that I've never used before. And so original ratio? Yeah, I think original ratio is good. I think that is good. Hopefully I'm not moving around anymore. Because I could tell it was like zooming in on me like super, super close. All right, I think we're good. Now I can watch for Colin because he said he was going to be popping in here in a little bit.

54:48SpeakerAnd could you share that link? Maybe do a little interview or two? Could you share that link in the YouTube chat, Marcus? Sure.

54:54BubblemanYeah, sure. Awesome. Copy link. Do, do, do, do. Need to get a little mouse for this. But this is why I bought the computer. I bought this computer so we could do Hash Church without like technical difficulties that are to blame on the old technology. So at least the technical difficulties that we are having today are all just my own ignorance and lack of ability to execute and not the fact that, you know, no matter how good I am, the computer's never gonna let me do what I need to do.

55:28BubblemanI also need to like put something Maybe a piece of cardboard here. Oh yeah, my camera's still doing it. It's like following me around. That's pretty true. All right, table's secure. I think we're going to maybe smoke some daps here. I'm pretty sure we're allowed because that's what everyone's here for. And I did bring an actual glass pipe, which I don't often do.

56:00SpeakerBeen using the puff coat for so long, but the puff coat, man.

56:04BubblemanDude, that's gotta be one of my favorites. Hey, shout out to Minor Melts. Look at this dab towel that he gave me, dude.

56:12BubblemanLike, are you kidding me? Isn't that sick?

56:19BubblemanIt's crazy how my camera's fucking moving, Dr. Mark. I need to figure that out. Yeah, it's like some weird AI stuff. It's totally weird AI stuff, bro. All right, so I've brought so many types. It's absolutely ridiculous.

56:35SpeakerSo have you used the link yet? No, I haven't. I need to. Yeah. Yeah.

56:46BubblemanDude, it's actually really cool.

56:47SpeakerIs it really cool? Okay, I haven't used it yet.

56:50BubblemanIt's really cool. We had a big gathering in Colorado, and I'd say we had five or six of them going. Oh, my gosh. If you do have... Matt Robertson's studio at the Stash, his podcast. And we're trying to figure this thing out. He's got so many Puffco's. We probably tried four or five different bases of Puffco's.

57:29BubblemanAnd we couldn't get this thing to work. We actually, we were going to film a whole video on opening it and putting it on his sick glass and big giraffe pieces. And we failed. So the next day I saw Scott, the rep for Puffco, and he was like, he was like, did you update it? Which was funny because there was a point in Matt and I's trying to get this thing working where I said to him, Do you have the app?

57:54BubblemanAnd he's like, oh, I got the app, but I just got too many Puffcos. Like just trying to find them in the, if you have a lot of Puffcos, it's best to just name them like one, two, three, four, five, six. You can always check them by connecting to them and usually the light will go on. Just let me see what I'm getting text here.

58:21BubblemanAll right, there we go.

58:25BubblemanWow. I am literally at an arcade right now, dude. But it's not too loud, right? Like you guys aren't having a lot of background noise?

58:33SpeakerNo, not at all.

58:35BubblemanFuck yeah, dude. Love that. Yeah. What do we got going on here? We got a black buffalo. So I'll show you how simple this thing is. Have you seen it at all? Have you used it? Have you seen all the videos?

58:47SpeakerI haven't taken it out. I went to the internet just to find out what it is. Because when I got it, I'm like, what the fuck?

58:55BubblemanSo check it out. You take off your glass, right? Get rid of that because we're not going to use that. And we're going to use this little guy. We're going to put him in so he's flat. You do not want him in at an angle like that, right? You want him flat. And the reason for that is that the unit is going to sit here when you're not using it.

59:19BubblemanWhen you're not using it, you plug it right into here. So we're also going to take this out. And then we're going to take this that we took out and we're going to put it into the little piece that goes into the pipe. Now, finally, there's a connector and that connector goes where you had. There we go. Boom. So that is it in a nutshell. When you've got it together, you can have it like that.

59:47BubblemanWe'll just open this up a little bit, throw this little guy. Make sure you don't lose your 14. I've got a 14 and a 10. I keep my extra one in the box. I'm using the 10 today.

59:58SpeakerSo the 14 stays in the box.

1:00:01BubblemanI'm just using this tiny little piece. I will say from an etiquette perspective, obviously you can see this thing is very big and heavy. And if I put this down, Thank you for watching.

1:00:38BubblemanThank you for watching. See you next time.

1:01:00BubblemanI can't figure it out. Video effects, portable lighting, virtual backgrounds.

1:01:30BubblemanYeah, I don't know, man.

1:01:31SpeakerI think it's just trying to keep up with your head, right?

1:01:35BubblemanYeah, but it shouldn't be moving at all. Do you know what I mean? Like I'm not, there's a, usually there's a button that you have set that it's like, it's smart or something where it's like, it's going to move back and forth the way you want to see it. But that is not what I'm looking for at all.

1:01:52SpeakerYeah, mine's not moving at all.

1:01:54BubblemanNo, exactly. MacBook Air, desk, old man phone. Okay. All right, well, we're figuring it out. Let's go HD. Let's see if we can get some. That's pretty clear, right?

1:02:05SpeakerYeah, that looks great. Still moving.

1:02:09BubblemanThe more I move back, the more it moves down and moves in on me. It's super trippy, dude. We'll see how that's super trippy. Anyway, I think it's time for a rip.

1:02:22SpeakerI'm definitely going to get scrapped.

1:02:26BubblemanThank you so much for joining us.

1:02:51SpeakerThank you for watching.

1:03:13BubblemanThe company through the algorithm will recognize it and they'll grab the monetization. Unless the company are dicks and then they'll strike you for a copyright. You get three before your channel's gone.

1:03:27BubblemanJeez. Uh-oh. All right, so I think we're gonna go for it. This is really nice, dude. I'm gonna cough like a motherfucker on this one, I have a feeling. Little Dabby Dabber at the Heady Happenings all by myself in the corner. Fucking doing Hash Church with Dr. Mark. Oh, you got the proxy there, brother?

1:03:48SpeakerYeah, yeah.

1:03:51BubblemanAwesome.

1:03:55SpeakerSo, yeah, I'd be interested in what you thought of that paper's findings. You know, don't look at it now. Just maybe look at it when you have a chance.

1:04:05BubblemanYeah. Yeah, tell me about the paper's findings.

1:04:09SpeakerWell, basically they found a lot of dirty stuff on the illicit Canadian market.

1:04:14BubblemanOkay. Yeah. Well, listen, this event, Petty Happenings, he also does testing for everything, whether you're in the legal or illegal market, gray, black, white, whatever you want to call it. He had like, I'd have to ask him, maybe we'll do a little interview with him later, but I'm quite certain that he had like six or seven fails. Michael, Michael, Michael Butanol.

1:04:44SpeakerYeah, that's what they found. They found in a bunch of, well, and, you know, they sampled.

1:04:52BubblemanLet me do this. I want to stand. Okay, here, you take this one. But stand on the other side of me because only one mic might work. Although this, this should be the mic. Can you hear Johnny B? Yes. Oh, you're really quiet, Dr. Mark.

1:05:07SpeakerYes, I could hear him.

1:05:08BubblemanI can hear you. You can hear him? I can hear him. Yeah, but he's so quiet for me in the left. Like, crazy quiet. You've got to turn that mic up, Dr. Mark.

1:05:17SpeakerI've got to turn the mic up?

1:05:18BubblemanReally? Johnny B was one of the first people I walked into today. I thought, fuck Johnny B. Let's do a little interview. Tell us how Medtane is doing.

1:05:28SpeakerMedtane is fantastic. Yeah? Yes. You know, as we move towards the new... Well, it's, it's, packaging is a big thing in this world, right? We're looking at reusable, recyclable, sustainable packaging. One thing about a med tanner is, I got great fans over 14 years. I just met a guy yesterday. He's been using the same med tanner since 2014. He had the older one. That was the beginning of it.

1:05:52SpeakerThat was when we went to, uh, Squamish. Oh, Squamish. You read it at Squamish? And we did that little video. At the grow there? And that was with Eminem. That's hilarious, right?

1:06:04BubblemanYeah. Let me make sure that everyone's... Much love, Johnny B. Much love to everybody. Marcus, sure it's not your ear? No, I get my ears tested as well as my eyes. I don't get my ears tested. It's good to test your shit every once in a while. Especially as you get old as fuck. Not old. No, but you're getting there.

1:06:24SpeakerNo. Yeah. Younger. We're getting older. We have new technologies.

1:06:28BubblemanIt's true. It's true. All right. Have you seen this little gimmick yet? What is this? So this is the link. So this is the puff code here. Okay. And this little wire connects the bowl now to any pipe that you have. And so now we can use our Puffco's and puff out of our glass.

1:06:45SpeakerCan I grab my slinger?

1:06:46BubblemanYeah, absolutely.

1:06:47SpeakerWhoa!

1:06:48BubblemanAll right. I didn't bring my torch.

1:06:49SpeakerOne, two.

1:06:50BubblemanBoom. We're going link. We're going link. Well, we can hook up a link.

1:06:55SpeakerMark's sipping. He's sipping on a... I know I love those things and he can't use them. I have one in there. Do you want to hit one? Hey, Johnny, is that really you or is that AI? It's me. I did work on building a digital twin, which I've been working on quite extensively.

1:07:13BubblemanIs that really you, Johnny, or is that AI? You know what? You can still tell when it's AI. Anytime he posts a video of him, I know when it's him or when it's AI. It's not quite there yet.

1:07:29SpeakerI think Johnny is going to master this before everybody else knows even what the hell is going on. And you're going to live forever. Well, it's about that beautiful thing, which is nanotechnology and about health. Looking at what we're doing with the benefits of AI and health is amazing, and that's the biggest example of what we have and how it helped me. It's all about health. And good gaps.

1:07:56BubblemanMy goodness, that must be going. Did I not click it? Oh, yeah. It hasn't vibrated yet? It's still getting there. It's still getting there. I hit you on blue, too, so it's a nice low hit. Which one's this? Just gifted to me.

1:08:15BubblemanOh, Boro Josh has to keep, you know, it's like, I totally appreciate your opinion, but you've already given it. I don't need it every single, he hates the Puffco. So he just feels impelled. To say shit about it every single time.

1:08:30SpeakerThe thing is, there's this emotional danger behind it, so I'm just curious what's the feeling that Popco gives you. Oh, here, excuse me. What's the feeling that Popco gives you? I mean, I love my phone. Me too. I love my Popco when I'm on the run. Yeah. When I actually need something. And so it all suits its needs for whenever you are that type of holiday out.

1:08:47BubblemanThat's exactly it, dude. That is exactly it. If I had a torch and a universe, I'd keep wrecking them. Yeah, yeah. Well, you're a wrecker, though. I wreck bangers. You've got to, like, Johnny B is the Chaz Bank champion. What's that? Yeah, exactly.

1:09:08SpeakerWell, if you have a choice, if you have a torch... A torch and a really good, nice banger. And you have a Puffco sitting on the same counter. Which one would you grab?

1:09:20BubblemanI'm going to grab a torch.

1:09:22SpeakerYeah.

1:09:22BubblemanYeah, I mean, I don't use a torch at all. I use a universal heater. But it's not travel friendly. And so, like John said, yeah, at home, I love to hit my universal heater. Although I will say, I've been hitting the Puffco quite a bit at home, right at my office, where I do have a banger. So it's just about convenience for me. The real convenient aspect of it is if you have a torch and a banger, and you're the only fucking one, and you're feeding everyone dabs, this is literally a thousand times easier From the perspective of, like, I gotta load all the dabs and literally, like, fucking take care of you, clean each banger.

1:10:02BubblemanI know he's ripping it. He's just, like, ripping it. Ripping it. Oh, yeah.

1:10:12SpeakerAll right. Put that back in there. What would D420K say?

1:10:17BubblemanIt's a bong rip, mother lovers. It's exactly what D4... You know what? I disagree. I do. Yeah. He says Puffco's suck compared to a real dab. It's like, it's, you know what? Not when you're on the top of Whistler Mountain, dude. You know, it's like, yeah, bring your, bring your banger and your tips and your banger basket and your dab light and your torch and your glass pipe and your carb cap and I'll just be on the mountain ripping my Puffco and then off to shred the mountain for the rest of the little bit.

1:10:51BubblemanSo.

1:10:51SpeakerI'm going to have my drone fly up to the top and drop everything at the top there. AI wait for me. When I get there, you're going to have like you'll be serving me everything and I can sit down.

1:11:00BubblemanIt'd be better than a Puffco. The AI Puffco. The AI Puffco. How much you dabbing in one bowl, Dr. Mark? One gram? 0.5 pounds.

1:11:13BubblemanNo one is hitting. Listen, the thing about Puffco's is you can't overload them or you destroy them. You don't want to get the oil to come in through the holes at the top. So many people want to use it the way they want to use it, but they don't want to design it.

1:11:28SpeakerYou want your hash to last, man. Oh, that's for sure. I just take as little as I can possibly get in there. Right. I really realized that the smaller dabs is where Willie's getting me there, where I've always put like the biggest dab in there and see what I'm getting, see how much I was wasting, how much was going down into the water. And I was like, man, I spent a couple hundred bucks on dabs and it's about $75 worth.

1:11:53SpeakerIt's still in the water. Right. Yeah. All right. Hey, so Johnny, do you remember the whole LED thing that we did on Hash Church? God, that was like 10 years ago, right? Oh my God. Look what LED has gone since, right? Oh, wow. I mean, just seeing the advancements with LED technology from, you know, those beginning lights that were kind of like we were like sticking to a piece of plywood.

1:12:19SpeakerI still have the old three bar one. You have like 30 on a piece of plywood to get on the wall. And then going into the, into, of course, the Spectrum King LED, but we started nailing it when I was 2014 and seeing that advancements. Yeah. And then Alias LED came out with the, with the far red. And then of course, you know, Spider, it wasn't, no, it's a grandmaster level with their diving technologies.

1:12:41SpeakerGrandmaster influence. And Fluence, and then there's Foshies, like all of these lights. Oh, it's just amazing. We were at the beginning.

1:12:49BubblemanAnd then let's not forget about Grandmaster LED, who just happens to have all of the spectrums in his light. Like, what the fuck? He's just like, I just added all their spectrums so you can just click on it and have it if that's what you want.

1:13:02SpeakerEverything, everything all at once, right? Isn't that everything all at once? And understanding the light recipes. And I talked about that in my book, Keys to LEDs to the Old Future. And that book there, I talked about when I put my strain underneath 15 different leaves. Remember plum, pear, apple, cherry. And seeing that different growth pattern underneath that, really looking up the light recipes for where we are with Grandmaster level, light recipes for the future.

1:13:27SpeakerAnd looking at different light recipes for different cultivars is going to be that biggest next step in how we can increase that. And finally, there's now robust data out there. Enough people have been using them to know I think back in the day, we were still speculating, you know, as to how does this affect trichome structure and oil yield? And ultimately, does it make a good washer?

1:13:55SpeakerYou know, like, if you're going to, anything that you have that you can use for a long time and tweak it and optimize it, you're only going to get better. I mean, that's the whole idea of innovation, right? And with LED technology and now like I've been working on a forced brain with inside of a lot of the agents I've been working with and building a specific agent that's going to work on LED technology and start looking at those like recipes and how they're affecting different cultivars because now we can actually have the technology look at that.

1:14:26SpeakerAnd seeing where it's raging in different parts of the world and trying to match those same light recipes indoors, I think that's going to be the future. We're just scratching the surface of how technology is catching up. Now we can use technology now to see where we can go with the experience of what we've created. It's the cultivars too, right? It's the cultivars that have been created over these different regions and they all have different light recipes.

1:14:51SpeakerLike when I was in Mexico, I pulled out my... And I saw the harsh far red, and we saw just the way those leaf patterns were growing. I started seeing these patterns of different types that are growing and seeing that, and then seeing it in my own groin. Right.

1:15:04BubblemanIt's like, Stan, microphone, it's getting in my way. We want to make sure we're quiet. Apparently, my audio is very quiet compared to Mark's, so I got to speak a little louder into the microphone. How's that? Is that a little bit better? Let's scream. No, I don't want to scream, but I want to make sure that, you know, make sure that it's working and that I've got pretty much maxed.

1:15:28SpeakerThe strains that are coming out these days, the flavors that I'm tasting, that's... Yesterday.

1:15:32BubblemanDude, listen, you should go to Colorado.

1:15:34SpeakerI would just say, I just want to acknowledge you for everything right now. Seeing you down in the U.S. Yeah. That dream that we talked about 10 years ago. Yeah. You know what you're doing? I know. I'm doing it. Execute it.

1:15:46BubblemanExecute it. That's what you have to execute. I'm going to the U.S., dude. It's so fucking crazy. I'm so nervous when I get to the border because it's one single guy at a kiosk who can decide whether I go or not. So I'm just like as polite as possible. I'm so fucking, you know, stoked to be able to come.

1:16:03SpeakerYeah, pull your Jedi Force magic on him, you know, and just Jedi out on him. Or just be a good dude. Yeah, well, that's, yeah, that's the same thing, I think, right? He's like, you can't handle that one. He's like, stop your marketing. Isn't that the same thing? I can't hear him on this one.

1:16:23BubblemanWell, he hasn't come on yet. Okay, what do you want me to say? It should click back on. Let's just go into audio settings.

1:16:33BubblemanWell, we're connected. We can't hear now. We're probably disconnected. Oh, there you are. We can hear you. Perfect. I can hear him. That's because that fucking AirPod is super quiet. Yeah.

1:16:49SpeakerAnd I can't really hear it that much anyways, which is fantastic. I hope you guys are doing great today. I mean, it's called Sunday. Oh, fuck. Let's get it best suited. And you know what? I got to go. Oh, I don't. So I'm going to like.

1:17:05BubblemanOh, my God. I didn't pay for my parking. Can you go get can you go get the code? It's right out front of the door and it's the pay by parking code. I'm in the blue Audi.

1:17:17SpeakerYeah, just give me the code and I can pay for parking here.

1:17:19BubblemanDamn, that would have been a ticket for sure. Johnny B saving the day. That is funny. You know what? Next time I'll have a proper splitter over the ear headphones. I do have over the ear headphones, but if I use them, I can't share the AirPod. But I'm telling you, dude, the right AirPod is like there's or the left AirPod. There's no sound coming through my left AirPod.

1:17:42BubblemanI need some new. Yeah, because it was he couldn't hear. He was like, fuck, I can't hear out of this one. It's like, yeah, exactly. Because there's literally no sounds coming out of it.

1:17:53BubblemanAll good. Well, you know what? We're pulling it off somehow. I just want to get a couple hours in and it's already 10, 14, bro. Yeah, look at that. I will do some interviews. You know, we got Johnny B. That was fun, but I'll get some others. I've got some stuff that I'm going to give away. So I'm going to give away this Puffco mat, a pretty cool mat.

1:18:17BubblemanIt's all like making hash. You can see that? Yes. I'm going to give that away. Then I got a ton of the bags, double bags and single bags. And then I got a few spoons, a few lucky hash makers. In fact, I'm going to give the guy that gave me a jar, he's going to get a spoon. Because these fucking spoons are killer. Dudes, Press Club. Are you kidding me right now, dude?

1:18:52BubblemanBeautiful. So we're going to give that to the gentleman that linked me up with the...

1:18:59BubblemanThere we go. Sorry, I got to pay for parking real quick or yeah, that'll suck. Johnny B. Nah, not when you can just pay by phone and have your phone, you know, send you a text every time the parking is running out. It's like a no-brainer. Just pay for the fucking parking. You can just re-up? Yeah, you can re-up as long as you don't go over the allotted amount of time.

1:19:25BubblemanIt'll probably be like a two or three hour one. Maybe. It looks like there's no limitation on it, actually.

1:19:33BubblemanLG is my wife's car. Let's start with 60 Minutes. Boom. $4 Canadian. Not too shabby at all.

1:19:47BubblemanSo still no calling? Not yet. Interesting. I've been getting people hitting me up here.

1:19:57SpeakerAll right. What's up, dude?

1:19:59BubblemanNo, don't interrupt. Come hang out here. Oh, shit. With the gorilla on it? Oh, shit, I remember. I have a Legends one like this.

1:20:15BubblemanYep, yep. Beautiful. I love that gorilla, dude. He just looks so fucking serious. Thank you, dude. How's things? Yeah, dude. How are things at Canna? So Canna are the official partners of my partners here in Canada, Canara Biotech Quebec. And you have never seen a more ridiculous facility. And when I was walking through the facility with Justin Conway, the PhD chemist who works there, who you met, Dr. Mark, he came on and did the show with Assam, the plant guy.

1:20:48BubblemanHe was telling me that one of the main reasons we work with Canna isn't because we can buy off-the-shelf nutrients from them, but because they'll work and they'll tweak the nutrient program for them in regards to what they ask for. So Canna's willing to be like, oh, you want what? It's like, okay, yeah, we'll do that. It's not necessarily going on the shelf, but they're delivering it specialty to their clients.

1:21:11BubblemanSo I think that's pretty cool. Yeah. Well, one thing I noticed about you guys is you're very much into supporting the scene. You know what I mean? Like you guys are definitely, they're a big part of supporting the culture. And yeah, shout out to Kat, a good friend of mine who's always been lacing me up with Canna. And they've been sponsors of Legends of Hash in the past.

1:21:33BubblemanAnd they've sponsored, well, they sponsored the show that Justin Conway came on from Canara. So thank you, dude. I appreciate it. Yeah, right on. Yeah, thanks, bro.

1:21:43SpeakerCanna in the house.

1:21:45BubblemanHannah in the house. All right, let's see what else we got here. Doing okay. That's nice. I hope people, what I'll probably end up doing eventually is I'll get one friend like Johnny B to just continually bring folks back here and just five to 10 minute interviews, I think will be a fun little thing. And each one will get a spoon or a press bag or something else.

1:22:09BubblemanI know Johnny B has a rosin press at home right now. Because it's my rosin press that I left there about a year ago. And so I'm going to give him some of these double press bags and see if he can't make a little video for the press club. It'd be kind of cool.

1:22:24SpeakerIt'd be kind of cool.

1:22:27BubblemanSo what else, Dr. Mark? I went to Colorado. That was fun. Okay, so I drove to Moffett. Have you ever heard of Moffett, Colorado? It's like close to the New Mexican border. So it's way down south. So I got to, you know, drive this beautiful highway where it's almost like Colorado is like the prairies and the mountains, like simultaneously just right next to one another, right? The Great Plains and the mountains all along the outer edge, driving through Fair Play, I believe it was called, which is like sort of the town that inspired South Park.

1:23:00BubblemanYou know, I think it was at 10,000 or 9,000 feet that we were at. I think we ended up getting up to about 12 or 13,000 feet when we drove past. P-Stone, Popperhead, Breckenridge, Lovehead, like all of these different mountains that I, you know, some I've heard of, some I haven't. Of course, you may or may not have seen, I went to Red Rocks. There was no concert, but I was like, I have to go to Red Rocks.

1:23:24BubblemanSo we pulled into Red Rocks on our drive up to Evergreen to go see Matt Robertson and the whole Evergreen studio folks. And it was so cool to just stand in the venue in the day. A lot of people working out, running up and down the, you know, the spots. But I got the vibe that, oh, my God, dude, this summer, I'm definitely coming. Trey is going to be there.

1:23:46BubblemanMichael Frantz is going to be there. Yeah, Trey plays, I believe, in June, Red Rock. So you want to go?

1:23:51SpeakerOh, wow. Yeah, let's go.

1:23:53BubblemanYeah, let's go.

1:23:54SpeakerGeez, I didn't know that. Yeah, I've seen Fish there twice. I saw them. Oh, very cool. First played there in 93 and then the year later in 94.

1:24:07BubblemanYeah, everyone told me they can't play there anymore. I was like, well, it sucks. They play at Dick's, I think.

1:24:13SpeakerNo, they had like riots there like in 96 or some shit like that. No. Yeah, Dick's has already been announced. That's Labor Day weekend, so. Okay. Yeah, that's a good time to go to Denver.

1:24:25BubblemanSo, but who the fuck would riot at a Fish show?

1:24:29SpeakerThere's just Red Rocks has only got like, I want to say like only like about 15. No, it's not like 50. It's super small. 2000. Yeah, maybe 3000 people. I mean, and yeah, I mean, fish will sell out dicks, which is like, you know, 14 or 18,000. I mean, yeah, I mean, there's just the demand for tickets. Yeah. Demand for tickets. And, you know, with Red Rocks, you're actually on the grounds of a park.

1:24:58SpeakerI think the city of Denver maintains that park.

1:25:02BubblemanDude, you want to know how many people can go to Red Rocks? I'm kind of surprised. What? 9,525. Wow, that's a lot. I would not have thought that.

1:25:14SpeakerYeah, well, what's the capacity at Dick's?

1:25:17BubblemanOh, gosh, it's got to be 19 or 26,000.

1:25:20SpeakerThat's what I'm thinking. Yeah, something like that. So that makes a big difference, you know. 100%. And, you know, a lot of people will go to the show without tickets and just hope that they hook up with tickets. And if they don't, they're perfectly happy with just hanging out outside. Dix is 27,000.

1:25:40SpeakerOh, there you go. Right. Twenty seven. Oh, my.

1:25:42BubblemanSo almost triple what Red Rocks is. I get it. They got it. It's funny because, you know, it's the exact same thing about cannabis. Oh, you create something popular. You make a hash, you know, skew. That's great. You're making it, you're doing it in the smaller venues, but now more people are interested. Well, do you only want to do the small amount of people or do you want to let more people enjoy what you're doing?

1:26:06BubblemanAnd you get bigger. And then people are like, it's not the same anymore. It's too big. I only like it small. And it's exactly the same from a hash maker standpoint or kind of any sort of thing that human beings enjoy. The minute too many humans start to enjoy it, a certain group of entitled human beings decide this was for me. I found this first and I don't like it with all of you here.

1:26:28BubblemanWhat I kind of did with fish and other things in my life is I try to find the enjoyment in all the levels. Like of course when I'm on Whistler Mountain and it's empty, I like it the most. And when it's super busy, I could spend my whole day bitching and moaning and whining about all these fucking people. Or I could just A, go somewhere else. And if you're bitching about fish because they're playing venues that are too big, I have some advice for you.

1:26:54BubblemanGo somewhere else.

1:26:58SpeakerThat's it. Yeah, I mean, the same thing happened to the dead when they went from when I first used to see him, you could see him in theaters, you know, in small theaters, like 3000 theater. But so many people wanted to go. So they got up to big arenas and ultimately, you know, football stadiums and baseball stadiums, you know, and it loses the intimacy of the music.

1:27:25SpeakerAnd where do you go? Beyond that, I mean, that's ultimately the thing that killed Jerry, right? Was this behemoth organization that had to stay profitable and on the road and selling as many tickets as you possibly can because you need that money to survive and to sustain the organization.

1:27:48BubblemanWell, it was all the people, all the employees, all the family, right? The family. We're all living off of this thing. And it's like, obviously, that pressure absolutely crushed Garcia's ability to self-regulate. He just had no ability to self-regulate. And that's why he ate the way he ate and did drugs the way he did. It's like, he didn't want to be famous. He didn't want everyone to worship him.

1:28:13BubblemanLike, I don't know much about Garcia, but I know one thing. He did not like worship. That was the thing that made him the most... In fact, that pressure from the fans... Was probably greater than the pressure of having to feed all the mouths from the family.

1:28:27SpeakerYeah, I mean, but that happens, that happens with rock stars all the time, right?

1:28:34BubblemanOf course. I'm sure it happens with plenty of famous folks. Like, I'm sure it's happening to Kevin Hart right now. Like, I'm sure it's happened to Dane Cook, comedians from the past, like, not just rock stars, but like anyone that gains a level of popularity. Like, fuck, right now it's probably happening to Mr. Beast. There's probably no more famous person in the world right now than this fucking guy.

1:28:57BubblemanAnd he just does YouTube videos like what the fuck?

1:29:01SpeakerYeah. I mean, it's it's it's yeah. The social media influencer, I forget what her name was, but she was a real very well known among that age group. And she was a fitness geek and everything. And all of a sudden she's gone. And it's like, yeah, I mean, it's like. I don't even know, like, what advice to give kids. I mean, I'm a college professor, so I deal with students all the time.

1:29:33SpeakerAnd for me, again, just thinking about my kids and my students, you know, a certain idea of, again, going through secondary education and getting a degree and then getting a job, the paradigm has shifted. To where people who are making money are just these social media influencers with little to no education whatsoever. And they could make millions of dollars by just having views, right? I mean, it's like, why would you want to go to college and go through all those classes and learning and becoming an expert at something when you don't need to become an expert at all to make a lot of money?

1:30:16SpeakerI don't know.

1:30:18BubblemanYeah, it's definitely a tricky thing being a parent these days and trying to give your child advice for a world that you didn't grow up in, you have no real knowledge of, and the more of a bubble that you placed yourself into, the less about the actual world you have an understanding of, and so it's hard to give kids advice these days. I just sort of tell them, like, I think that following your passion is still valid, and I think that Don't be afraid to make mistakes is still valid.

1:30:51BubblemanYou know, like go out there and make mistakes and fall on your face because those moments will define you. I think that still holds true as well, but only time will tell.

1:31:02SpeakerYeah, I mean, I think that there are certain priorities that you have to make in your life because there's a lot of decision points that you have where you could either go here or go there, do this or do that. And you don't realize it. It's easy to see in retrospect when you... When you look at like the decisions you made in your life on, you know, where your life has taken you and where you've gone.

1:31:31SpeakerBut yeah, I mean, I was just reading a story this morning about a woman who's got a four-year degree. And the job that she has, she's a single mom and she's got three kids. She still needs to go to the food bank because even the job that she has, she has a full time position. I don't know if she's in social work or just some low paying field where to raise a family, you need to have substantial means.

1:32:01SpeakerToday, it was easier, I think, to live less expensively Years ago, I think today it's, I mean, it's just incredibly difficult when you go up and down the streets of where you live and say, yeah, this is like a, now it was a $400,000 home. Now it's a $2 million home. Who's got 20% to put down on a $2 million home in our kids' generation, Marcus? Oh, I know.

1:32:35SpeakerTrust me. They're going to have to wait for like us to die to be able to be homeowners. It's I don't know. I mean, I, again, I live in Vermont. It's kind of, it's high cost of living up here. You know, we're in kind of like where Bernie Sanders lives, right? And, you know, Bernie, just to talk about Bernie for a second, he's the guy who recognizes, yeah, there's 50 billionaires now who own, you know, like the top 98% of all wealth in the country is localized with just a small group of people.

1:33:12BubblemanWell, that's the 0.01%. The scary thing is, is if you switch your perspective, you'll see that you and I are in the 1% and that the majority of the population, like they're not worried about the billionaires. If they had a quarter of what you have, they'd be living a completely different lives. So there's this disparagement for the billionaires for sure. They have all the money. But we still have money too.

1:33:35BubblemanAnd if you can fly and go on trips and get hotel rooms and eat three meals a day and raise your family, like the majority of the world is just absolutely incapable of doing that. There's billions of people living in beyond poverty. You know, there's people starving to death, like 30,000 of them every single day. Like they're not worried about the billionaires. They're not like protesting the billionaires.

1:33:58BubblemanThey're like, we just want to eat food.

1:34:02SpeakerYeah, no, it's yeah. And it's crazy because, you know, not to get political or anything like that, but in today, what's going on today, you know, the U.S. used to, again, provide a lot of aid to countries where there's starvation and there's all kinds of disease. And I think now that more for war.

1:34:29BubblemanThey used to give money for war. That's why when they pulled out of the UN or whatever group it is that they pulled out of recently, without the US's money, we're in the same boat. Canada, without the US's money, and I think it was around $200 billion a year that the US would go into deficit with Canada as a trade partner, will collapse without that money. We have to find it from somewhere else.

1:34:52BubblemanAnd right now, guess where we're going to find it? China. Yeah, we're making all these deals with China. While we send billions of dollars to the Ukraine to fight Russia, we're making deals with China who are partnered up with Russia. So it's politics make no sense to me. I digress. Let's smoke a bowl. Because hash, hash I get. Hash I understand. You know, it's like I understand it.

1:35:20BubblemanIt's clear to me. And the other thing when I talk about hash that I find is that when I'm done talking about hash, no one's upset with one another. You know what I mean? Because it's like, holy shit. I live in a very politically charged village. Not like world politics, but like small village politics. Very small politics, right? It's like our local mayor and the counselors and whatever.

1:35:48BubblemanAnd we've had this division going on probably just around COVID that we split into these two very divisive groups. And I, you know, I never paid any attention to it. And because of it, I was super happy. And just for a short period of time, I thought I'd put my hat in the ring and I'd try to talk calmly with both sides and kind of try to figure it out.

1:36:06BubblemanDude, it's completely undoable. Politics are almost just there to divide people who will never agree with one another. So I just focus on hash. That's what I focus on. How's it going, dude? I'm good. What's going on? What are you doing? You're working right now? Okay, awesome. Well, nice to meet you, dude. I'm Marcus. I'm running a podcast right now. So you are the manager at Greta YVR.

1:36:31BubblemanYeah, so come down and check it out. Come hook up with Josh and check out the arcade. Yeah, you guys are, it's crazy in here, dude. I can tell that guy was working. He looked like he had like the George Costanza furrowed brow, you know, when you're working or you want to look like you're working.

1:36:49SpeakerSo is there a pinball wizard in this arcade?

1:36:52BubblemanOh, there has to be pinball. Oh, let me see here. Let me see. Let me see. Let me just walk over here for half a second. So there's the WrestleMania, Star Wars, The Mandalorian and Godzilla are three pinball machines that are right here. But I'm certain there are other pinball machines as well.

1:37:18BubblemanAll right, it's time for a wrap.

1:37:27BubblemanLet us have it if. Let us have it if. I don't think Colin made it. No, he never did.

1:37:40BubblemanI'm going to ask him if he's coming. Caleb never made it either.

1:37:43SpeakerYeah, what up with that?

1:37:46BubblemanHey, man. You know what? It's funny. When I get here with like three bags by myself on my phone, streaming Hash Church live, go through everything, set up the computer, I was able to make it. But then again, my desire and my absolute psychoticness to make sure Hash Church happens every single Sunday is probably an illness. You know what I'm saying?

1:38:16SpeakerNot an illness, just a commitment. There's a difference, right?

1:38:23BubblemanOh, the pinball wizard. Yeah, I've heard about him.

1:38:24SpeakerHave you ever heard of that deaf, dumb, and blind kid?

1:38:29BubblemanSomeone asked in chat, so I said, absolutely. I used to fucking love that song, and I was not a huge fan of The Who. I was much more like Sabbath and Zeppelin and these sort of like deeper, darker sort of rock and rolls that I kind of got into. Cream from like the 60s, Eric Clapton, but not so much The Who. That being said, I fucking love the Pinball Wizard song.

1:38:56BubblemanIt was just so good. It is just so good.

1:38:59SpeakerWell, did you see the movie? I mean, the movie is just I saw that movie and it gave me nightmares. The whole acid queen and yeah, the whole thing, the imagery around, you know, the war and everything like that. I mean, also like the wall, right? So the wall came out after Tommy, but I think the wall reminded me a lot, the same, it scared me in the same way, you know, that Tommy did, you know?

1:39:36BubblemanTotally. Yeah, there was a, once again, a massive darkness to it, right? It was, it was dark. Hey, teacher, leave those kids alone. And then now you're a teacher, bro. What the fuck?

1:39:51SpeakerWhat the fuck, Dr. Marcus? Yeah, but the whole... Because times change. The whole Nazism, and I'm sure you've seen, you know, I mean, Roger Waters is very politically outspoken.

1:40:04BubblemanHugely politically outspoken. It's a bummer. To be honest, it's a bummer because I feel that sometimes it ruins his message. Yeah. It really does. He just comes across as a huge dick, and it's like, look, we're all allowed to have our opinions, and opinions are great. When opinions cease to be great is when you frame them in a way that's almost like, well, it's like, I mean, the two worst ones, right?

1:40:29BubblemanLike in the conspiracy folks, they called us conspiracists because that is the greatest way to dismiss a person. And another great way, the highest ways to dismiss a person is to call them a pedophile or to call them, what's the other one? These are like the highest levels. And it's like, dude, when I was a kid, like you couldn't even call someone a rat unless you had like serious proof that they did such a thing.

1:40:56BubblemanBut nowadays, oh, Nazi, Nazi is the other one. Everyone's a Nazi. It's like, in the meantime, if you were there and witnessed what the Nazis did, Like, I'm like, you would not be calling people unless they were actual fucking Nazis killing and murdering people in the streets. Nazis. Because every, like, I, fuck, someone called me a Nazi the other day. It's like, really? I'm a Nazi? It's like, holy shit, dude.

1:41:21BubblemanFor what? Loving hash? Anyway, I digress. Back to hashish. That was a delicious bowl. I hope that guy comes back here so I can do a little quick interview with him in the near future. I don't know how much longer I'll rock this, Dr. Mark. We really only have to do it till around 11, but I'd love to get to 12. I would. I will say this about Roger Waters.

1:41:42BubblemanAlthough his politics is like, it feels like fingernails on the chalkboard, I do love his music and his concert. And when I went and saw The Wall twice, it was one of the single greatest concerts I have ever seen in my life. In fact, I walked out of there saying, that's not a concert. That's like a... A spectacle, it's like some other thing, right? It's something completely different than a concert, like, because holy shit, with the like hundred foot wall that they build on the stage with the last brick that goes in, the light shining out, the level of artistry in that show, I can only hope that he does it again and that for the people that never saw it, make sure you go and see it because it is on another fucking level.

1:42:31SpeakerWhat? Why won't they let him in? Does he have a ticket?

1:42:36BubblemanOkay, just a second. My buddy Chase stuck out front. And they're not letting him in. So I got to figure this out. I got to figure it out. Tuesday, 1039. Okay, I just got that message. They won't let him in for hashtag. Can you send someone out to grab him? Okay, let's figure this out. Here's Colin at the skate park. Nice. That's what's up. Roger Waters Politics.

1:43:05BubblemanWhat are we making sure that door just stays closed? I can make sure. I'm standing here the whole time. I'm going to be here the whole time. I'm running a podcast. You want me to keep people from coming in that door? Perfect. All right. I'm just trying to be supportive. Can you go outside, Johnny B? Hey! Can you go outside and grab Chay from Rosebud? She's got the beard and the bald head.

1:43:28BubblemanYeah, yeah, yeah. But they won't let him in. If he needs a ticket, I have an extra one. Sorry about that, Dr. Marks. Oh, no worries. Ash Church in it at the Heady Happenings. So this is a very much like a legends event, although he's kind of expanded it, you know, since starting it. And he does kind of multiple days. A couple days ago at Rubicon Organics, he did like a hash, you know, like little sort of show where they brought, I think Low Temp was there.

1:43:59BubblemanLast year it was Whistler Technologies, Low Temp and Hashtag. And we all kind of ran head to head with our pieces of equipment. This year, I believe he just had a couple of like pieces of equipment, but they did a little seminar and it was great. It was good. So now this is like. Three days or two days later. So yesterday was a day between the hash seminar.

1:44:23BubblemanToday now is the I guess there's a competition as well. It's like a cannabis cup type thing. So today is the announcement of those winners. I mean, listen, these events, I believe people would show up for a dinner, but nothing shows people up and sponsors and the whole money entity of this community comes out when there's a contest. If you have a contest, they let you in.

1:44:44BubblemanThat's what's up, brother. How you doing? Good to see you too, brother. All right. Chay's in the house. Chay runs a beautiful living soil organic garden farm called Rosebud, and he's very close to the border and he's in the Kootenays, which is, of course, we've spoken about it before. The Kootenays is this crazy place that just all these expats are really draft dodgers. Sorry. Draft Dodgers from California and the U.S. jumped up to the Kootenays and they were a big part.

1:45:13BubblemanI mean, there's, you can go back in the history and the Duke of Boers and all of that, but this, these Draft Dodgers, man, I swear to God, they brought the herb culture to fucking the Kootenays. And so that's where Chay's at. I'm going to give them one of these and we're going to have a little conversation. All right, you can put this on. It's very quiet.

1:45:30BubblemanIt'll go in your left ear. It's very quiet. Dr. Mark doesn't have a very loud microphone, but Colin's coming in as well. And then I got this mic for both of us. So we can just talk into this little one. So yeah, dude, how are you doing? Yeah? Yeah? The farm's going good? The family's going good? Dude, you're living the dream. When you think about it, it's like, what do you need that you don't have currently?

1:46:02BubblemanYeah.

1:46:06BubblemanWhat's up, Colin? Chay is just joining us. I'm here at Heady Happenings. Let us know if we're too, if we're being too quiet or if you can hear us equal. I was going to get Chay just to talk a little bit about his scenario that he's got going on with Rosebud because you're in the legal market here in Canada.

1:46:25SpeakerWe actually had a nursery license.

1:46:29BubblemanOh, we can't hear him here.

1:46:34BubblemanThat's okay. It'll be you and I talking. As long as you're talking into that, we should be able, as long as the, maybe talk a little louder too, but they should hear us. Let me make sure I'm on the right microphone and that it's not, that it hasn't added. Okay, so Marcus, microphone, Marcus, yeah, look. There we go. How about that now, guys?

1:46:56SpeakerIs Raspberry the one?

1:46:57BubblemanAre we better? Oh, sorry, guys. Okay, so Chay, good friend of mine from the Kootenays. I just wanted him to tell you a little bit about himself. He's been on Hash Church before, but just tell the audience a little bit about Rosebud, how it came to be and where you guys are at with it right now.

1:47:14SpeakerYeah, cool. Thanks for the intro.

1:47:15BubblemanGet me some jars so I can get high off your shit.

1:47:17SpeakerYeah, yeah. Okay, dude. Crack that. I got special stuff for you here.

1:47:22BubblemanI asked him, this is the Kootenays right here, dude. This is how fucking ridiculous the Kootenays are. I asked him for a jar and he shows me like a cooler that fits 24 beers.

1:47:32SpeakerWell, I left a big jar in the truck. I didn't think it was appropriate. But to play off the draft dodger thing, yeah, it is really a big part of the Kootenays. It's a really big part of the culture and the economy. I mean, besides Humboldt, I think maybe more than anywhere else. I came from, my dad was a grower. I used to get the trimmings from him.

1:47:51SpeakerThat was a deal. If I helped him trim, I'd get the trimmings. And then I turned it into hash. I didn't know that.

1:47:57BubblemanWhat year were you?

1:47:57SpeakerOh, I don't know. I was 13. So I'm 47 now.

1:48:01BubblemanThis is the Kootenays for you. He says he was 13. He is telling the truth, dude. In the Kootenays in the 90s, there were 13, I think there were even 12-year-old kids with pagers that would like find you if you were like the American dudes walking around town. Thank you so much for joining us today.

1:48:40SpeakerAnd so I transitioned from the old legacy ways to license in 2019. I thought, you know, I finally get opportunity to do what I love to do without having to look over my shoulder. And don't get me wrong. I mean, it's a long time ago, but I, you know, I did enjoy those sort of like ninja ninja days. It was exciting. But as you get a little older, it's also nice to not have to, to worry about the possible consequences of that.

1:49:06BubblemanSo, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,

1:49:20BubblemanThank you so much for joining us.

1:49:37SpeakerI'm friends with DEM. I'm a student of DEM. They taught me a lot. So is Marcus and Hash Church over the days. It's pretty cool to actually be here full circle, hanging out with the people that I learned so much from before we ever knew each other. So I'm grateful for that. So we do regeneratives, like no synthetics at all. We sort of grow the way nature grows with diversity, really.

1:50:01SpeakerNatural amendments. We try to do no-till. If we do till, it's just the top little bit. And then the genetics, you know, we work with our community. I got a lot of genetics from my father that I've worked to over the years. And so we try to do a lot of our own stuff. And then live rosin is, you know, is our specialty, really. We got some products here in BC, some in Australia, and we're just poking the door into some of the European countries as well.

1:50:27BubblemanLook at you, dude. Internationally growing herbs and shipping it around the world.

1:50:31SpeakerSorry to interrupt. I would love to show you to your booth. Oh, I have a booth? Yeah, you have a whole... Is it as quiet as this? I'll show you if you want to go there or you're welcome to stay here.

1:50:41BubblemanOkay, I'll be right back. I'll let Chay continue to tell his story. You can have that in your ear as well.

1:50:47SpeakerCool. And so one of the things we do is the Rosebud Bowl, also known as the Unicorn Cup, that started as a legacy thing. We'd gather some of the best guys in the CUNYs, show up with their jar, you know, jar one, jar two, all blind. And we'd sit around, we had 20 minutes with each jar. And then, you know, we'd highlight some of the best products in the region.

1:51:07SpeakerAnd then, Really beyond that, we talk about why is it the best product and try to share that knowledge with the people there, you know, the genetics, the production methods. The point is to like try and help each other, you know, and it's something that we did in the old days is camaraderie in this community and you're just there for each other. And that's another big reason that we put this event on to keep that culture and that spirit and camaraderie, that celebration of the plant alive.

1:51:33SpeakerAnd, you know, and also embrace the new culture because things change. That's something that we can't avoid. But it's great to create a space to bring us all together in that type of environment. We're also the first legal cannabis cup in Canada, meaning that like LPs and micros enter. And so, yeah, we're in our eighth year this year. It's on our grateful to have this property, 160 acres on a sort of a private lake near Nelson, near Shambhala.

1:52:00SpeakerAnd we leverage some of the talent at Shambhala and sound equipment to put up a pretty cool stage and bring in artists from all over the world and musicians and yeah, really celebrate this plant and this culture. So it's something that I'm really looking forward to this year's second week in August.

1:52:18SpeakerSo he wants me to move. How cool. So I just gotta move. Sounds like we're moving here.

1:52:25Bubbleman10 minutes. I have 10 minutes to move. We're going to keep everything going, but he wants me to move. So it is definitely what I'm going to do. Got to respect the request. We got a nice booth. I think the music's going to end up being a little bit louder. I'm not too sure. It looks like Colin's at the skate park there. That's pretty awesome.

1:52:49SpeakerYou told him a little bit about Rosebud? Yeah.

1:52:52BubblemanNice. That's awesome. Hey, can I give you a spoon?

1:52:56SpeakerI love spoons.

1:52:57BubblemanYeah, look at this. This is a Press Club giant hash spoon. Yeah, and seeing as you were really kind of my first interview, I was like, fuck, here you go, sir. From the Press Club. Actually, here, take a set of these double-bagged bags from the Press Club as well. No blowouts, already doubled. Yeah, I've heard about these, but I haven't used them yet. Well, from the Press Club to Chay at Rosebud, they're happy to have you have those, and they're just fucking awesome people.

1:53:27BubblemanYeah, they keep me rich. Super good, folks. And then, yeah, if you want to continue, we can go sit over there. Or if you've got stuff to do, you can meet up with me in a bit. No, I'm looking forward to hanging out.

1:53:37SpeakerLet me know if I can help you.

1:53:38BubblemanLet's go sit.

1:53:39SpeakerHe's given us, like, the best seat in the house.

1:53:42BubblemanWe might as well go use it. Right, guys?

1:53:46SpeakerYep. Right, Governor? I think I'm the only one. Oh, no, Colin's there.

1:53:52BubblemanColin's there, but no, I was talking to you.

1:53:54SpeakerHe's off camera.

1:53:56BubblemanOh, yeah. We're going to get over. We're sitting at the mothership table. All right. Apparently so. He's like, I put you at the mothership table because I figured you'd want to be there. I'm like, dude, I was actually pretty good right here in the corner hiding that one. But you know what? Let's do this. This should be fun as well. I bet that finished him there. I'll leave those there.

1:54:21BubblemanAnd we'll just... If you make a pass church on the go, dude, if you ever see that guy in New York who has the full like producers, like keyboard, I think his name's Ari. He does like beats on point, like piano, all attached to him. He walks around when it's fucking sick. No. Oh, we got the whole scene here.

1:54:44SpeakerAll right.

1:54:45BubblemanSo this is our seat right here. So pretty good. The little spot he's got us in. Maybe we'll do the stand thing. Maybe we'll do the sit thing. I don't know. Sitting's good, actually. How you doing, Colin? What's going on, buddy?

1:55:02SpeakerOh, he's muted.

1:55:09SpeakerI'm doing good. I'm at the skate park. I didn't immediately get an email.

1:55:14BubblemanSo I was like, ooh, I guess maybe we're not doing it today. Every day we're doing it. If you don't get the email, it says I am a stoner. So I know.

1:55:24SpeakerSo I was like, look, let's just get everybody to go to the skate park.

1:55:27BubblemanTurn your phone sideways. See if it shows the whole screen. Yes. Yeah. Show me that skate park again. Yeah, dude. Are you kidding me? That looks awesome, bro.

1:55:40SpeakerNice little car.

1:55:44BubblemanOh my God, dude. I would have died as a kid to have that. You gonna come sit down?

1:55:47SpeakerYeah. Say that again?

1:55:50BubblemanI said I would have died as a kid to have that. I know. Here, I'll give you guys a little tour. We're all at these loud places today, perhaps. Not generally something cool. What do you got there? Wava Gas. Do you guys like Wava Gas? Dr. Mark, are you a fan of the Wava Gas?

1:56:14SpeakerBaller jar for sure. Yes, I'll take it.

1:56:17BubblemanThis is a baller Kootenai jar. This is a trick. Yeah, I'll take some. I know. Look. Isn't that funny though? It looks like such a baller jar, but it's like just the edge. Like it's been sitting like this. It's still, but it's not. Dude, but it's nice, bro. Oh my God. It is fucking nice, bro. I like the Guava Gas. What else we got?

1:56:46SpeakerPPF?

1:56:47BubblemanYeah, that's Sangria.

1:56:49SpeakerThat's actually Sangria.

1:56:51BubblemanOh, I like this one a lot. This one is the Sangria. And yeah, I had a big jar of this. Che was generous and sent me a big fat jar. It looks like peanut butter, bro.

1:57:06BubblemanYou know, you gotta like meet and hang out with Chay too. Like his vibe is just like the polar opposite of my vibe. Like it's just relaxed and calm and it's like it translates into his resin. So that's why I smoke. I don't need to be smoking like resin that's like methamphetamines. I want a nice like I want that warm hug rip. What else you got, though?

1:57:29SpeakerOh, like grandma stew or something.

1:57:30BubblemanGrandma stew, exactly. Yeah, dude. It's not just bone broth. Yeah, I like that. This is actually what I entered in.

1:57:41SpeakerSo what is it? It's my own genetics. We haven't named it yet. It comes from the chem lineage. Three years in the making from the chem lineage. Here, let's get this over here. So what exactly is it? Well, okay, it's my Sarah's Secret, which is a BC Guava.

1:57:59BubblemanOh, this is Sarah's Secret?

1:58:00SpeakerNo, no, no. It's the BC Guava Gas, the Sarah's Secret, crossed with Killer Kush. And then I took a mail from that and I put it on Dynachem. And Dynachem is Chem 91 and Guava OG. Jesus Christ. Then I phenoled that. So this is our early finisher. This finishes September outdoors. Oh, wow. We're straight outdoors. Super important. It is where we are. It's like it's a must.

1:58:23SpeakerOctober's risky, you know, and the rain's calm and it's just not ideal. So everything we grow pretty much finishes in September. So it's interesting though, it's carried straight chem fuel flavors on the, on the smoke, but until you turn it into a Ross and you don't actually notice the subtle So this actually carried through like coffee, maple, latte, spice, some smoke, really interesting flavors, but it didn't carry over much of that straight chem fuel.

1:58:51SpeakerSo like the rosin almost needs a different name than the flower. That's really interesting how that happens. Yeah. There's so many fruits and I love the fruit, the OG, the papayas, the bananas. It's great. But I wanted to enter something different. You know, I may have things that look a little bit whiter. Yeah, you can join us, Johnny B. But I really wanted to put something different out, something that was unique.

1:59:13BubblemanWell, you did it, dude. I mean, this is beautiful. Absolutely lovely. It's interesting when you don't grow with the knowledge that it doesn't matter if it gets rainy and we get some mold because we're just going to send it to get irradiated. When you don't accept the irradiation aspect, you really pay attention to what you grow and how you grow it. And like I said, the Kootenays, do some Googling research if you've never heard of it in Canada.

1:59:40BubblemanIt is definitely... The sort of pinnacle of outdoor cannabis growing. No one took it more serious. No one did it more guerrilla style. I mean, like I said, in the 90s, this is a place that was doing roadblocks on the side of the highway, looking for gardening supplies, not even looking for plants. They were looking for shovels, pots, dirt, tarps, all the shit that you would grow with.

2:00:03BubblemanAnd if you had that in the back of your car... I'm telling you, they were writing your license plate down and paying attention to you suddenly. So it was, that was wild to me when I first saw that.

2:00:12SpeakerDude, they'd set up at the bottom of logging roads. I know. And then so you come down the logging road with, you know, whatever it is you're coming down with. And then there they are. Oh, hey. Check stuff right there.

2:00:22BubblemanHey, how's it going?

2:00:23SpeakerSo then, you know, not me, I had nothing to do with any of this, but so I heard people would get on radios. That's when radio started to become popular. Like, yeah, it might be a good time to pull over for a nap and, Thank you so much for joining us.

2:00:55BubblemanPeople just have no idea the true level of suffering that some of these big businesses have produced in the world, from the sugar industry to the tobacco industry. I mean, it's amazing that we're not calling people who own tobacco companies Nazis, because they literally have the numbers, right? They're killing what, like 500,000 people a year in just the U.S.? I think it's 6 million people worldwide. I think it's upwards of...

2:01:22BubblemanYou know, and that's still pharma, alcohol and tobacco. You put those three together and you see the amount of annual deaths that are coming from that. And we didn't know it back in the day, but that's what we were fighting. That's what we were sort of because people, when they suddenly have access to something like this, they literally might not grab the Xanax or have the whiskey or do the one.

2:01:47BubblemanWe've got an announcement. Why don't you talk, Dr. Mark? I'm going to pause this.

2:01:52SpeakerOkay. What do you guys want to talk about? All right. That sure was tasty looking hash that Marcus showed us.

2:02:08SpeakerLet's see. Anybody look at that paper yet? Lots of crazy shit going on.

2:02:20SpeakerLet's see, what can we talk about?

2:02:25SpeakerLet's see, is Colin there? No, Colin's not there. It's just me. Okay, so what are we going to talk about? Hey, guess what?

2:02:34BubblemanHe's done making the announcement and you don't have to talk now. But I'm telling you, that's going to be a short, Dr. Mark. That, whoa, what paper should we, ah, fuck, I don't, it's something else to be put on a whim, isn't it, right in the moment? Anyway, Chay really liked what I had said there, and he wanted to get more into the elaboration of what we were doing back in the day, growing weed under prohibition, And we were fighting.

2:03:00SpeakerGo ahead. Yeah, I think it's important to like important part of this culture and the history is this collaboration thing I mentioned earlier. Right. And so we were we're helping people. We still are. My old man used to turn like. 15, 20% of the crop into medicine. You know, a lot of Phoenix Tears. We were doing Phoenix Tears with grain alcohol back in those days. And we go around and hand them out to cancer patients.

2:03:24SpeakerAnd, you know, it wasn't always about the money. You know, it was actually about doing some good in the world and helping your neighbor in this community. Something else that would happen. And, you know, you guys from the old days, you know about this. Your friend and your neighbor called you at midnight and said, hey, man, something's just happening. I'm worried. I think I got to clean out my house.

2:03:43SpeakerCan you come help? We'd all show up. The whole community would show up. We'd help unload everything, get in the back of the trucks, get it moved. Next morning, whatever happened, happened, and there was no problem. We'd all chip in to really be there for each other. And it went both ways. You know, and then there's this other model and corporate is something Mark just touched on there.

2:04:04SpeakerAnd, you know, I don't hate the player, hate the game. Like, I mean, we need elk and buffalo and we need all the diversity, but it's just a lot different approach than how we used to and still do approach things. You know, and in that model, if you see the neighbor in trouble, you might think, Oh, maybe we can buy the neighbor's farm cheap after something goes down tomorrow.

2:04:25SpeakerAnd it's a totally opposite. And so it's really important to me to continue that camaraderie and that culture and create a space for that to continue on. So I just wanted to add that.

2:04:37BubblemanYeah, that's awesome, dude. Very true. Got a full conscious vibe and what's going on. Yeah. It's part of why British Columbia is such a weed-oriented province. People always came to Vancouver to buy the weed, but so much of it was grown in the Kootenays, right? That eight to 10-hour drive or five to 10-hour drive, depending on where you were, To get your flower to Vancouver was a whole other logistic and experience, especially when, I will be honest, most of us were wearing our stereotype on us.

2:05:18BubblemanAnd it was obvious. Like when I look back now, like in Vancouver in the 90s, there were just a ton of dudes in tracksuits with fucking backpacks. Brand new trucks, you know, cruising around Vancouver. And those were all brokers. And it wasn't hard to recognize them. I'd see them out on the street and be like, that guy totally looks... I remember I had a penthouse apartment and we had a camera in the elevator and I'd keep that camera on my TV all the time.

2:05:42BubblemanAnd there was a dude that came up and down, up and down. And he was red track suits, boxes and bags all the time, totes. And I finally just pulled him aside one day and I was like, dude, what, like, are you... And we ended up meeting that way and ended up doing business that way. And I just thought, holy fuck, like, we are so obvious. You know, like, if someone really wanted to figure it out back then, it's not like we were, like, I don't think we really were ninjas.

2:06:11BubblemanDo you know what I mean? Like, we're trying to be ninjas, but we weren't ninjas, dude. We were just people that were, like, learning from our mistakes, and you were... Depending on how aware you were, it would force you into making sure you followed very simple or very specific logistics in order to buffer you and protect you like a radio and napping while they're at the bottom of the road, right?

2:06:33BubblemanThat's the kind of logistics that gets... How do you think that comes up? Do you think someone just thought of that or do you think someone got busted first? Yeah, first. They got busted first. That's how we learn, unfortunately. There was a problem, and then we needed to find a solution. Exactly. Just crazy. Crazy. Just got the skate going on in the background, dude. That is so awesome.

2:06:55BubblemanHoping on bringing a few more people over and getting a couple brands to break it down, although it just opened three minutes ago, so actually good timing to be able to do Hash Church for a couple hours here before really anyone gets here. This is all just people, I guess, that are working right now. But I saw Sarah, 420 Sarah Jane. She's around the corner. I feel like John Hatch from Hatch Hash is going to be in here today.

2:07:20BubblemanSo maybe he'll bring some full melts and we'll check that out. It will get louder and louder in here. And at which point, if you, the audience who are watching can just let me know, hey, it's unlistenable. I'll just shut it down once it gets to that point. We've definitely got big speakers facing us right now. I think Matt and Kurt, Greg Gardner are going to be here.

2:07:40BubblemanOkay. Yeah, I think I saw that actually. That's super cool. So then you've entered the contest here. What's, have you entered the contest here before? No, this is my first time. Okay. So you have no real, you know, it gets announced today though.

2:07:54SpeakerYeah. Okay, awesome. Yeah, I've been here before and enjoyed it before. This is the first time that I've entered anything.

2:07:59BubblemanOkay, excellent. Did you talk a little bit about the Unicorn Cup, your cup in general, the party, the cup? Have you mentioned that at all? Because Chay threw this incredible party in the Kootenays. I only went a couple years. It was called the Unicorn Cup. There was all sorts of logistics, so names got switched and moved and separated. I can let him mention it, but it was special.

2:08:21BubblemanIt was really one of those high-integrity, Probably low profit because the high integrity things are always like, like, it's the thing that you just like, I want to do this every year. But you're like, fuck, I bet you will only get like a few more years because it's like someone has to fund this and it is expensive and it is beautiful. It's this lake and this property and I'll let you talk about it a bit.

2:08:42SpeakerYeah well it's like something really passionate about and and you're right there's not profits in it but you know again it's not always about profit right and wealth comes in different forms and to put on such a cool event and have so many people stoked about it and see this culture thrive and That's like, that's very valuable. There's a lot of wealth in that. That fills us up the inside too.

2:09:04SpeakerSo, you know, something that we plan to continue to continue to build. And I think it's, I think it's important that we do. I'd like to see more, more events like this happen and really embrace the culture and, you know, and again, it goes back to like supporting each other with, Evolving production methods and processing methods and just keep on the front line, keep ahead of the curve to help our whole community.

2:09:33BubblemanI met these folks, this shirt that I'm wearing. I met these folks in Colorado. Super trippy experience. Let me make sure we're still on and let me make sure that our audio didn't switch just there because it may have. Yeah, it did. Speaker, Raspberry. There we go. No, we don't want the speaker. We want the microphone. Jesus Louise. Okay, so that we can do AirPods Pros. Microphones, the Raspberry.

2:10:00BubblemanOkay. This guy, check this farm out. No Regerts. Remember that tattoo guy? The No Regrets guy? He spelled it wrong? So I met these people, James and his lovely wife. I didn't meet his son, but he sent me a cute little video of his son shouting my son out on Mosquito. And so this guy reached out to me in Colorado recently, totally out of the blue. He's like, oh, I heard you're in Colorado.

2:10:25BubblemanIf you're around, hit me up. And I'm like, dude, like Colorado's big. I'm driving three hours this way, four hours that way. Like I doubt I'm going to be able to bump into you. So I go meet, we go and drive to this greenhouse that we're potentially partnering up with. We're buying a lot of material, beautiful greenhouse. This guy does a greenhouse in DWC, like bubbler buckets, like 12 gallon bubbler buckets.

2:10:47BubblemanIt's super trippy. It's super trippy. Great guy. You'd love to talk to this guy, Aaron. Shout out to Aaron. Anyway, Aaron's got this place. We go and visit him. We do a tour. It's about an hour and a half. We're about to leave and go drive a little closer to the New Mexican border. And I hit this guy up. I'm like, hey, if you want to send me your address, if it's between where I'm going and where I am, I'll stop by.

2:11:09BubblemanI hit his address in. And it shows up walking instead of a car and it says two minutes. Nice. And he's one and a half properties over from the property that I'm on, dude. And what a great group of people. No Regerts Gardens is their name. I just thought it was great. I wanted to wear it and shout those guys out today. Super good people, man. I'm telling you, like, if you've never been, you should go to Colorado, dude.

2:11:35BubblemanYeah. It's like, they're seeing... It's monstrous. Like they, they, their scene is like, I feel like it's like 50 times bigger than the scene we have going in Bangtooth, right?

2:11:46SpeakerYeah, right on. I've been hearing you guys talk about it. I'm going to do the same thing that you just did and get my, get my thousand dollar money grabbed to do, but it's something.

2:11:54BubblemanIt's more than that. Yeah, because if you do the $1,000 waiver, you have to do it by yourself. You have to get all the data, you have to fill it all out, and then you have to send it to Homeland Security. If you spend the $5,000, a lawyer will do it all for you. And the big deal is this. If you make a mistake, Homeland Security won't tell you for 11 months.

2:12:16BubblemanThen they'll just tell you you have to start over again. And so I couldn't go through with that. So I know people that have done it themselves and they've succeeded. If you want my lawyer's number, you let me know. He's a great guy. And the beautiful thing about that is he'll keep all of your material on file. And then in a year when it expires, If you bump into anyone.

2:13:04SpeakerLast episode there hit close to home with Eric Ward and that crew. Hell yeah. Of course, you know, Crystal, my partner, and she came from that scene. She was part of Nectars and Noel and Eric Ward. They were all close and working together back in the day. So it was really cool to hear him on there, hear his stories and put a name to the face.

2:13:24BubblemanYeah. No, what a great dude, man. Yeah. Like such a kind, humble dude like this guy. Love to have that guy on a lot more, to be honest. He's definitely one of the good ones.

2:13:35SpeakerThat's what I love about your show. You bring these people that are like at the A game. They're at the, you know, they're the ones evolving the industry and finding new techniques and methods. And that's the excitement. You know, that's the front line. That's where I can't turn away. I'm 30 years wide open.

2:13:51BubblemanI'm not too different, man. You know, that's why I do what I do. I love bringing people together. It's definitely way more interesting. For the audience to hear from different people, that's what they want. They want to get their finger on the pulse. And Sophia Hashchurch is just sort of like, at this point in time, it's a responsibility I have to the community because there really is nothing else like it.

2:14:15BubblemanAnd so it's just a good thing. We're recording all of these and they're going to be there forever and they're just accessible. And I look forward to, you know, 20 years from now, going back and watching some of these videos. That's crazy. Yeah, like, I bet you your dad wishes he grew up in a different generation and cameras were the last thing he would have walked around.

2:14:36BubblemanHad it been legal at this time in his life, could he be able to go back right now and show you videos of him at 20 and 30 years old? Like, that's what I was doing, dude. Like, I know you remember because you were a kid, but check it out with an adult mind. We perceive things differently when we're children. You know, that's why my generation in particular, the 70s, I don't have a lot of video of myself.

2:14:57BubblemanIf I see video of myself, it's super fucking trippy, like super trippy. All right, we're going to hit this. Rosin sucks, eh? Well, I'm about to suck rosin. How about that? I'm going to suck this bowl of rosin down. This is like Congolese for sure. Have you seen the link yet? No, I haven't. So the link just is the new Puff Coat. It attaches right here, just snaps in.

2:15:22BubblemanYou put the bowl here, the atomizer, and then you just basically use it like a Puff Coat, except you use it with a rig. Oh, that's great. Yeah. Fucking cool little unit. Got a 14 and a 10. Oh, this guy's hilarious. We got a troll. All right. All right. Bingo. You know what to do. Mids Boof. Dude, Congolese, live hash rosin, probably grown in living soil, but it's mid spoof.

2:15:51BubblemanI don't know. I don't know either, dude. I think I'm going to take a chance, bro. Yeah, it's worth the risk. I think I'm going to take a chance. Yeah, exactly. $2,500 a cut is not only greed, it's a scam. Exactly. Well, only if you pay it and you didn't want to, you know what I mean? Like there's people that paid $2,500 for a cut and didn't feel scammed.

2:16:14BubblemanYou know, I personally wouldn't pay it and I wouldn't, I've given away so many cuts. I don't think I've ever, I've never charged for a cut in my entire life. Have you? I don't think so. Yeah.

2:16:25SpeakerSeems like a strange thing to do, actually. Definitely been given a lot of really amazing stuff. I'm happy to give a lot of stuff away too. It's how you keep it going. You know, Kevin, Kevin Jodry told me one time, I'm like, man, I'm a little bit protective of this once I put so much work into it. It's actually the BC Guava Gas. And he's like, don't do that, man.

2:16:42SpeakerLet it out. They're already working on the next day. He's like, he's right. Yeah. Like free the weed. Like, does the plant want me to try and hoard it? No, it wants to go out for the people. That's its mission.

2:16:53Bubblemanwants to get into the heads and the minds and the souls of the people so let it go i agree dude i couldn't have said it better i always tell people to give your most precious things out now you're some company that spends a ton of money breeding a specific cultivar and Thank you so much for joining us.

2:17:36BubblemanPeople were getting busted. People were getting, oh, there it is. People were getting busted. People were, their crops were getting destroyed by mildew and bugs and pestilence and all of those sort of things. You're looking to have a fallback. Like, oh, I used to have that. You don't know how many people. How many friends do you have with that story? Oh, I can't believe I lost it.

2:17:57BubblemanIt's like, I can. You didn't give it to anyone. Like, what were you thinking?

2:18:00SpeakerYeah, but I got a lot of friends, too, that are in the other situation. Like, man, am I ever glad that I did it with my globic ass. I lost it. I went to my community and got it back. So it would have, like, bit me in the ass. I wouldn't have been jealous.

2:18:16BubblemanIt would have only hurt me. Yeah, exactly. So I always was very generous. I mean, keep in mind, like I was generous with cuts that were given to me. They weren't, you know, I wasn't the owner of them necessarily. I didn't do any of the breeding or any of that. But when people would tell me, I'll give you the cut, but you can't give it to anyone.

2:18:37BubblemanFirst thing out of my mouth would be like, oh, dude, don't give it to me then, because I'm definitely giving it to everyone. How's it going? Mothership? Yeah, we're good. Yeah, yeah, come hang out with us for sure. It's like the mothership. I can move that.

2:18:51SpeakerAwesome. Are you guys with mothership? Okay, right on. I thought so. Mothership in the house.

2:19:03BubblemanI'm Bubble Man.

2:19:05SpeakerKelsey, nice to meet you.

2:19:08BubblemanThis is Chay. Tim, nice to meet you, Tim. This is Chay from Rosebud Garden. Hey, he's got the great, he's got some beautiful, awesome. Well, we have it here for you.

2:19:19SpeakerI like it.

2:19:20BubblemanYeah, absolutely. Could you imagine if he said no? I know, right? What are you thinking? That's because you're polite. But still, if he said no, you'd walk away and be like, what a dick. Beautiful jars out on the table. I don't want you smelling my jars. I prefer those turps in my lungs. That would be the dick thing to say. Anyway, nice folks. The good old mothership folks are here.

2:19:46BubblemanYou didn't need to. That would be like bringing sands to a beach. Yeah, don't bother. Your ability to come over the border should outweigh your ability to want to bring something over the border. Yeah, verbatim. What a stupid fucking thing to do. And then just you're young, too. You wouldn't be able to come here for like as long as I didn't get to go down there. Guess how long it was?

2:20:09Bubbleman28. I just started going in December this last year for the first time in 20 years.

2:20:17SpeakerYeah, that doesn't matter. 100 years, you've got to get a waiver.

2:20:26BubblemanThis is the reality. If you get busted with a DUI on either side of the US-Canada border, it doesn't matter if it's cannabis or alcohol or whatever it is, you are not getting in to the country without a waiver. And so it's a pretty big thing. They do a big money grab, but I'm happy to be a part of it. Yeah, me neither, Nico. Me neither. Me neither.

2:20:51BubblemanSo what do you guys do at Mothership?

2:20:55SpeakerLittle this, little that.

2:20:57BubblemanHere, let's introduce these guys. You guys got the mic? Oh, you're on the podcast. You gotta say hi. It's just Hashtag. Hello. So what's your name again?

2:21:04SpeakerMy name is Kelsey. Kelsey, yeah. I'm Tim. Right.

2:21:06BubblemanSo these guys are with Mothership. They're totally uncomfortable. I put them right on the spot. There's only like 25,000 people watching. It's super chill. I'm joking. There's probably like 300. It's not a big group. However, thousands will see it. And this is your friend as well? Awesome. Nice to meet you. What's your name? Sarah, I'm Marcus. Yeah, you as well. Sarah's kind of off camera. You can't really see her, but we're sharing the booth here with Sarah and the Mothership crew here at the Heady Happenings.

2:21:32BubblemanWe're probably not going to do much longer because it is loud in here. And I'm sure I'm getting copyright struck like a thousand times just on this video alone because I'm playing music like nonstop. It's like... That's how it gets here. I live streamed my mentor's celebration of life, Skunk Man Sam. He passed away last year. And so I went to Amsterdam for his celebration of life.

2:21:56BubblemanBut prior to that, we did another celebration of life in Santa Cruz, California. Maybe it wasn't in Santa Cruz. Anyway, in California, they did a big one. I streamed the whole thing and they were just playing his music like the whole time. And I was like, I don't care. You know what I mean? I'm streaming this. I wanted people to be able to see it. It was a very public dude in the cannabis world towards the end.

2:22:16BubblemanVery private in the early days. I don't know if you guys know much about Skunk Man Sam. He's a legend. You know how everyone just throws the word legend around? It sticks with him. It legitimately sticks. So shout out to Skunk Man Sam wherever he is. Sorry to put you guys on the spot like that.

2:22:34SpeakerThat's awesome.

2:22:36BubblemanWhat's that? I miss seeing him on Hash Church.

2:22:39SpeakerOh, dude.

2:22:40BubblemanDude, are you kidding me, man? I completely miss seeing him on Hash Church. Yeah, yeah, we'll dab you up. We'll dab up the Mothership crew. That was really nice. Do you want to hit that? Yeah, so let's load it up.

2:22:54SpeakerLoad yourself a little dab into here.

2:22:58BubblemanHere, one second. Let me do this. I've got my restriction on with the... With the wire, the cable, so we can unrestrict it, make it much...

2:23:12SpeakerI used to live in Roberts Creek.

2:23:15BubblemanOh yeah, that's another great spot. Roberts Creek on the Sunshine Post in British Columbia. And so what about Robert's Creek? Well, just this profile brings me back. Of course it does. Because that is probably where that came from, which is like high integrity or days, sorry, heavenly days. I mix them up all the time. It probably came from that. And they were on the Sunshine Coast for quite a while as well.

2:23:41BubblemanSo both of these, you called it. It is Robert's Creek. So we'll get you a nice little dab. All right, she's lit. It'll vibrate when it's... I like to pull it nice and close. And then you got your little carburetor. Well, that's amazing that you don't hear any music. How fucking insane is that? Maybe my mic. I have a special setting that's cutting out all the background music right now.

2:24:05BubblemanBecause I did click a button like that, but I didn't think it worked that much. But John Booth... Booth 9666, John Booth. That's funny. We don't hear any music, Marcus.

2:24:14SpeakerBeautiful. I told you that early on.

2:24:16BubblemanYou did, but now I'm in a way louder way. Like, like, dude, it's loud, bro. There's like a whole scene going on here. At one point, I'll get on my phone and I'll walk around. We'll check it out. Oh shit, I got to pay for my parking. 67804, 67804, 67804, 67804. There we go. Don't want to fuck that number up. 67804, very important.

2:24:50BubblemanAll right, got to pay for parking.

2:24:54BubblemanLet's do another 60 minutes. See how that goes. $4.15 for downtown Vancouver. That's not bad for parking. Seems reasonable. All right. We're all parked up. We're all paid out. And the Satori hat on there or what? I can't tell. I've got a whole group of people, but I don't really want to pull the thing out. Yeah. So here's the this is the part that I. Yeah, exactly, dude.

2:25:21BubblemanSo the minute you rip it, you put it into here and then here is an easier place to clean it. Does the pipe, especially my pipe, it's too small. My pipe is tiny, smaller than this actual rig. How was that? That was great. Yeah, it brought me right back. Fucking A. Not to mention, this will keep you awake like nobody's business. The Congo profile has just been, I mean, shout out to Heavenly Days for keeping it alive and making it available, both the Seedsman Hayes and the Congo.

2:25:52BubblemanThat could have been Seedsman Hayes as well, but I think it was Congo. I think it was Congo. Yeah, definitely felt in Congo. The Congo came from Spain. Yeah, it came from Mallorca where Lomano Negra lived. But, you know, it's convoluted, that story. I don't really even know if I know the true story anymore, but La Mano Negra brought seeds from the Congo, gave them to Reefer Man, Reefer Man brought them to the Sunshine Coast.

2:26:20BubblemanI think Robbie Mission Creators slapped it with something and that became the Congo, the Roberts Green Congo, which is probably what this is all. I have a bunch of people on one day to tell the official story of the Congolese.

2:26:35SpeakerThat I think is probably a good idea.

2:26:38BubblemanBecause it's one of those things, you know, the cannabis industry, it's so hard to commit to the historical context. I can only commit to the things I was there for. And if it was a he said, she said thing, I always just bow out and say, look, I wasn't there, but I was there for this part. So this part, from my perspective, I understand. And I have an awareness.

2:27:00BubblemanWe've got a bunch more people coming up. We're kind of like this VIP booth where everyone's staying away from us right now, but... I could walk around with my computer as well. Interview people. Maybe that'd be fun.

2:27:13BubblemanAlthough maybe I could do it with my phone as well. Computer's pretty big. I got a big one. I don't know how big it is, but it's, it's maybe bigger than I needed. Hey, what's up, dude? I won't leave you hanging. These fucking guys, you'd be standing there like this for an hour.

2:27:36BubblemanWe're just doing Hash Church. Yeah, yeah. Say hi to Hash Church, dude. Here, come introduce yourself, bro.

2:27:43SpeakerMy name is Lee. I work for Sauce Bros and Lads. I'm the representative of NBC.

2:27:49BubblemanSauce Rosin Labs has been a sponsor of Hash Church in the past. It's Hugo and Jordan and all these. Dude, these guys are on the East Coast and they actually probably make some of the nicest rosin, high level rosin on the market today, especially from that side of the country. The shit they're pulling out looks like it's grown and Made here by Chay. So it's like definitely shout out to Sauce Bros and Labs.

2:28:12BubblemanAnd hopefully I'm going to be hitting some sauce here in the very near future. It looks like jars are coming out. And here we go.

2:28:19SpeakerOh, we got the Chili Willie. We got the Chili Willie.

2:28:23BubblemanAll right. Let's see what we got here. Tell me about the Chili Willie. Chili Willie is a cross of Frosted Food Caps and Wilson Zero.

2:28:29SpeakerI got you. Some cheesy notes in there.

2:28:34BubblemanSuper cheesy notes in there, dude. When you go deep, it's a... We're going to dab it up.

2:28:40SpeakerDude, nice.

2:28:43BubblemanAnd it's also very thick. Perfect. Yeah, thank God.

2:28:46SpeakerOur signature consistent table. All right. Signature consistent table.

2:28:57BubblemanAll right, so yeah, Lee is the rep for sauce here in Vancouver, British Columbia, I guess. Dude, this is hilarious. Look what I got going on here.

2:29:10BubblemanAll right, here we go. Hitting the sauce. The chili willy is about to go down here. At the Mothership Past Church booth. What's up, dude? What's up? We're doing Hash Church, man. Yeah, this is my podcast. I've been doing it for like 12 years.

2:29:28SpeakerYeah, you too, man. I'm Bubble Man.

2:29:29BubblemanWow, that is a super wild taste, bro.

2:29:30SpeakerThat's a bubble gum thing happening. Bubble gum, but almost like an exotic fruit in the background. Lots of fruit.

2:29:51SpeakerThat is important. Hold on. Back down, dude. Jordan Brew.

2:30:01BubblemanAnother sponsor of Hash Church in the House, Mark from Craft Greenery. These guys have been massive supporters of Hash Church. We're just hitting some sauce labs. We brought some really nice Chilly Willy. Oh, yeah, yeah. Chilly Willy.

2:30:13SpeakerChilly Willy is Jordan's Pacific Necropad. Oh, fuck, I love that. That's his baby? That's his baby. That's beautiful.

2:30:25BubblemanOh, my goodness. We're getting a session going on here, dude.

2:30:29SpeakerAll right.

2:30:35BubblemanI got a pipe for you guys.

2:30:37SpeakerYeah.

2:30:41BubblemanGot you. Got you. I brought extras. So I, you know, wasn't the only one puffing. Anyway, sorry I'm not watching the chat, guys. This is kind of a unique, different sort of live hash church. I thank Dr. Mark. We're hanging out, especially being available today when I was driving and unable to talk. I'm still going to go back and listen to you trying to come up with something to talk when I told you on the spot, hey, I got to go do something.

2:31:08BubblemanYou got to talk. That was awesome.

2:31:10SpeakerDid you like, oh, what should we talk about? That's what musicians can improvise on the spot.

2:31:18BubblemanYeah, Mark is definitely a well-known information. Oh, thank you. Yeah, Chay's a big fan, dude. He's sitting next to me. He can't hear you. Oh, thank you.

2:31:29SpeakerI wish I could try your hash.

2:31:32BubblemanHe wishes he could try your hash. I'll make that happen, dude. Yeah, next week. Hey, what's up?

2:31:41BubblemanDr. Mark Sheldon in Vermont, in Burlington, Vermont.

2:31:46SpeakerHe's the local, it's not that far.

2:31:51BubblemanHe's one hour from the Quebec border. No, less than that. No, but I'm going to be in Quebec next week.

2:32:00SpeakerI'm one hour from your facility in Farnham. I'm only like about 40 minutes from the border.

2:32:05BubblemanOh, sorry. He's only 40 minutes from the border. He's one hour from the facility. In Quebec that I'm working at. Crazy. Set up professional audio in, oh, okay. I have the professional audio setting capability. That's fun. I can't believe you guys can't hear like all the background noise.

2:32:27BubblemanOh God, is Josh still going on? Yep.

2:32:36BubblemanIt's a sad, no, it's a great time, dude. I'm so, don't be sad. Sadness is just the choice. If you lower your standards a little bit, you'll be way happier. Way happier. These guys are ripping it. On Hash Church. We got Lee and Mark and Chay, all local BC folks in the industry from the grower hash maker to the distributor store owner to the representative of sales.

2:33:06BubblemanWe kind of got the whole little area right now sitting here. I believe it was the Roberts Creek Congolese Rob Ford. Someone dropped it off and bounced. Do you guys think that's the Roberts Creek Congolese?

2:33:22SpeakerI think it is. Yeah, he said, ooh, yeah. Pretty rank.

2:33:39BubblemanIt's a Mac and Zoom, then when? It is a Mac and Zoom, James. Thank you. And if you want to send me a message, dude, just send it to me to my email because I saw a message got retracted, but I didn't get to read it. So maybe everyone else did.

2:33:56SpeakerVery good.

2:33:58BubblemanThese guys are just talking jars right now.

2:34:00SpeakerWell, Silver...

2:34:10BubblemanI'm sugar caramel smoke. The first jar Chay ever gave Lee in case you can't hear him in the background.

2:34:23SpeakerAll right.

2:34:24Bubbleman1131. I think I'm going to. What are you doing, man? You're not going to. This looks so this looks so full. Here I got this, too. Those are Terp Slurper Cleaners. But they work good in the smaller Puffco's too. You just stick them in and turn them. The ones he has, the Slurpers.

2:34:47BubblemanBasically like a... I won't say it. I was going to say it, but I'm not going to say it. But it was close.

2:34:56BubblemanOh, I've supported JP plenty, my brother. Plenty. Dude, I helped JP develop the Terp Slurper, if you don't remember or if you didn't know. So I'm definitely a part of that. I'm embedded in his culture and his history. He's always been a massive supporter of us. And we, of course, have always been a big supporter of him. I think his bangers are second to none. Don't get me wrong.

2:35:20BubblemanI love Quaves and Puke and Beagles and D-Nails got some pretty sick shit. But always massive shout out to JP and Toro and his wife, Wendy. They've always just been so kind and nice to me.

2:35:35SpeakerOh, my God.

2:35:37BubblemanGotta hit that. Gotta hit that. Let me see if I can show this one to you guys.

2:35:50BubblemanOh, man. Look at that, Lee, right next to you. It's, you can like lick it. Here, stick your head in there.

2:35:57SpeakerThere we go. There we go. I got it.

2:36:06BubblemanThat's funny.

2:36:08SpeakerWe're having fun. I should die out of the jar.

2:36:12BubblemanYeah. AI, bro. I'll put this in. All right, here we go. Clean bowl. Papaya from the sauce boys. Shout out to those guys. For real.

2:36:29BubblemanI feel like I have an extra lid over here.

2:36:34SpeakerOh, your lid.

2:36:37BubblemanHere you go. Chili Willie.

2:36:39SpeakerSorry, bro. Oh, perfect.

2:36:44BubblemanYes, Evan Shore does also kill it. And probably many more that I haven't mentioned.

2:36:53SpeakerI think we'll fix the game. I like to hear your opinion on that. Absolutely. People are bitching. I'm not bitching, but they're very much like, nothing beats a bang. Of course. Okay, that's great. It's like nothing beats a blowjob. It's not like you're going to say no to a handjob.

2:37:08BubblemanI would prefer a handjob.

2:37:24SpeakerI prefer to be at the beach smoking a Popco than to be trying to light my banger. And when you're ready to get to that level of people like Typoly Blass, I mean, you know, and you're educated enough and you actually had a few experiences that know the difference. I mean, that's a huge part of it, but I mean, to grow this category, you need to have a huge amount of devices.

2:37:41BubblemanExactly. Not everyone's going to start with a $400 US dollar banger, but they might start with a $400 US dollar electric device.

2:37:49SpeakerRemember, so we're starting with like $180. What's this one cost? I don't know.

2:37:52BubblemanYou would know better.

2:37:53SpeakerYeah, yeah, yeah. Like this is the same, you know.

2:38:04SpeakerEverybody said no. The thing is, is that the consumer is going to be more into using a device like this than walking around with a torch and a huge rig, a whole huge setup with a banger basket, a bunch of utensils to enjoy this product wherever they want to be. I mean, look at the... The categories that are just polluting in the industry right now, you've got, it's all around convenience.

2:38:35SpeakerParts and IPRs and free rolls, right? And it's continuing to grow. We're seeing flour shrinking as a percentage, you know, of all skills. So convenience is key. I mean, that's a huge part of it. Yeah, it is. Yeah. Hey, what's up, dude? How you feeling, man? You too. Sorry, I was listening. Hey, pleasure. Me too.

2:39:00BubblemanAwesome, dude. Well, we're just on Hash Church. We're filming Hash Church right now.

2:39:05SpeakerSuper mellow, live, just doing little interviews and stuff with different people.

2:39:10BubblemanAt the heady happening. So what was your company called again? Blue Rocky Mountain Gold Extract.

2:39:15SpeakerBlue Rocky Mountain Gold Extract. I'll be back. Thanks, Mark. All right, we got some hardcore extract dude popping in.

2:39:26BubblemanYou taking off, Chay? Yeah, no problem. No problem. We'll see how much longer I do this for. Yeah, please. And it's. Oh, the black maple. Yeah, I think I had this one already. Is it impossible?

2:39:45SpeakerHow long has it been around for?

2:39:51BubblemanBut how long was it? Has it been over on the east?

2:39:55SpeakerLooks beautiful. That's a good, that's a question you should get Google.

2:39:58BubblemanYeah, because that would let me know if I got it or not, because they had sent me some jars. I think they did. I think they sent me this jar. It's reminiscent. Super nice. So are you a solvent guy?

2:40:09SpeakerNo, we're solventless extractors.

2:40:11BubblemanOh, you do solventless.

2:40:13SpeakerOkay, here. My name's Mike. We're Rocky Mountain Gold Extracts out of Calgary, Alberta. And yeah, we see a couple guys in the garage here trying to work our way into the legal market.

2:40:26BubblemanSweet, dude. So you started in the gray market? Yeah. The black market, as I always called it. I don't know why people are like, oh, we're in the gray market.

2:40:33SpeakerSo I grew up in Victoria on Vancouver Island, right? Did you say you're up in Calgary?

2:40:37BubblemanYeah, we're based out of Calgary. That's wild. So you're like in Alberta.

2:40:40SpeakerWell, I've been there for 20 years, so. Oh, shit. Yeah, that's where I made my career, my living, right?

2:40:45BubblemanSo how did you get into solventless extracts?

2:40:48SpeakerWell, for self-medication, and we felt that bubble hash was way better than flower rosin.

2:40:54BubblemanI love that you said that, dude. I coined the term bubble hash back in 1999. That was my shit. So you're like, you're a bubble ambassador.

2:41:01SpeakerYeah, we are a big proponent of bubble hash and ice water extraction, yes. We don't want the mothership crew. That's so funny.

2:41:18BubblemanThat is hilarious. All right. Maybe move some stuff here. Squeeze in a little bit more. Making room for the Mothership crew. Because it is both Mothership and Hash Church today. Although I'll probably stop this soon. I didn't think I'd go to noon today, really. That's amazing. So we got another 22 minutes. So you got into Bubble Hash. What year was this around?

2:41:43SpeakerWe started squishing in November at 2020. 2020? Yeah. So it's kind of new. It's still new. Six years? Well, baby's in the industry as far as we're concerned, but we're just a couple of guys that are passionate about what we do and, you know, like sharing the efforts of our, the fruits of our labors.

2:42:00BubblemanDo you want to know the value of being new in the industry and being the baby?

2:42:03SpeakerThere's lots to learn.

2:42:06BubblemanBut... We'll keep them from doing that.

2:42:29BubblemanYeah, and how do we learn? From our mistakes. Dude, we always learn from our mistakes. You make some of the best things in, I mean, you know, Rosin was an accident.

2:42:37SpeakerSome of the best Rosins have been happy accidents.

2:42:39BubblemanWell, Rosin was an accident.

2:42:44BubblemanThe whole process, like how Phil came up with Rosin was just a random accident. He just pressed a bud one day. He had been doing it with hash to make hash flags for dabs. The hair straightener, dude. How fucking cool is that?

2:43:01BubblemanIt's a pleasure. It's a pleasure to have you on, bro. Fuck, that's so awesome, dude. Thanks for being a bubble ambassador and keeping the job.

2:43:10SpeakerWith the people.

2:43:11BubblemanYeah, yeah. Go get Irie. That's awesome. I would have totally assumed that guy. Oh, wait. Hey, wait. I got something for you. I just saw what Jeffrey wrote. Jeffrey, you are the man, bro. So before you leave, I don't got a question. I got some double bagged bags from the press club for you. I've got a static free funnel to fill your bags from the press club.

2:43:43BubblemanBecause the fucking press club are awesome. And if that's not enough, I got a fucking press club collection spoon for you, dude. Look at this bad boy right here. Look at that. Dude, what do you got to say to the Press Club?

2:44:01SpeakerPress Club, thank you very much. We really appreciate it.

2:44:04BubblemanFucking right, Steve. Dude, I'm so glad he showed the spoon icon. Look, right there. That's what he said.

2:44:13SpeakerYou were all walking away. Thank you very much. Come have a dab with us in the back. I will. Thank you, brother.

2:44:20BubblemanThat was a good vibe, dude. Thank you for watching.

2:44:52BubblemanYou're happy to see me? I'm happy to see you. How are you doing, brother?

2:44:55SpeakerDoing fantastic. How about yourself, man? Fuck, dude. How was Mexico, dude? Mexico was amazing.

2:44:59BubblemanThat was like cathartic. It was. That was like family, spiritual, fucking, you've been needing that for how long?

2:45:08SpeakerOur whole family needed it. It wasn't just me. It was the whole family. Oh, I know.

2:45:11BubblemanI'm just asking you specifically.

2:45:13SpeakerIt's been a long time. It was like two years coming that I was like, I had the fallout. We needed to have the reconnect. And we had a really good reconnect. And it was like, everybody just got together. They hung out. They loved on each other. Whenever somebody felt burnt out, they're like, hey, man, you need some time. Go have your time. Go do your burnouts.

2:45:30BubblemanSo that family stubbornness that we all grew up with melted away. Dan's dad is going through some pretty heavy shit right now. Dan and his dad have had a little bit of, you know, aggression as we all have had with our parents, one or both, if you're unlucky. But Dan was able to have this incredible last minute trip to Mexico. I saw his pictures the first day.

2:45:50BubblemanI think you posted whales.

2:45:52SpeakerOh yeah, whales every day. We had whales every day. Every morning I woke up to go sit on the beach and like see the sunrise and get the whales and they would come jumping out for us. Yeah, it was, it was a magical, every part of it, like the hummingbirds coming around at night to see us. Like it was, every single part of it was magic. For sure.

2:46:11SpeakerYeah, and we are the magic and that is the truth, right? It's like the places aren't the magic. We are the magic. We got to create it. Here, push in. We got to make room for the ship. Oh, yeah.

2:46:20BubblemanGotta make room for the ship. How's it going, dude? Good to meet you. I'm Bubble Man. Justin. Awesome. Well, welcome, dude. And if we're taking up too much room, just please let us know. We want to make, yeah, we want to make sure there's enough room. So, man, I'm super stoked that you got to have that experience, dude.

2:46:38SpeakerIt's definitely a thing.

2:46:42BubblemanI got a spoon for you, dude. Yeah, I got a spoon for you. And I have some double bags for you from the press club.

2:46:50SpeakerDouble bag for the press club.

2:46:53BubblemanAnd I also have a static, free, 3D printed funnel from the press club. Dan actually has a 3D printer and 3D prints all sorts of cool shit, so he'll actually appreciate that more than most. Oh, John wants to pet your dog, dude. Is it okay if John pets your dog? Yeah, you can pet him. Yeah, I think he's super far away, but... Here, let's pet him for you.

2:47:16BubblemanThere you go, John. Here's the pets. We got the scratches, the pads, the... We got it all, dude. Yeah. We got it all. Let's see you, man. You got a lighter look on your face, bro.

2:47:26SpeakerOh, life is light.

2:47:27BubblemanIt was like you went and had an Ibogaine trip.

2:47:30SpeakerOh, yeah, basically, I mean, like, and that's what a lot of people don't realize is we can make our own journeys and our own trips, our own little things. We can rewrite our own chemical pathways with our own, like,

2:47:44SpeakerWe pay attention to them. It's true. Yeah.

2:47:47BubblemanBecause your focus, your focus is one of your most valuable things, focus and authenticity. And if you can maintain those two things, those are the things that the demons want to undermine how you feel. So you don't feel good about who you are. So you try to become a different person that robs you of your authenticity. And then the second one, what was the second one? Authenticity and

2:48:10SpeakerI like actually knowing where you want to go with it. Focus. Focus. Thank you.

2:48:14BubblemanSo I read a book called Stolen Focus. Well, the whole social media campaign is about stealing focus and monetizing said focus. So those two things are really the most important things to... Authentic and focus. Maintain your focus and maintain your authenticity.

2:48:31SpeakerExactly. When they say that you can create your reality, that's what they're talking about. It's not about like, hey, I can create these things around me and all of a sudden this magic is going to happen. It's no, if I start focusing on all those good things that are happening to me, that's what I'm going to see. So all the magic is going to happen.

2:48:47BubblemanYeah, it's true. It is like a frequency and a vibration. You can get into it with physics. Michio Kaku talks a little bit about it. It's definitely... Your thoughts create your frequency and your words come out and they enforce that frequency. And so it's why you never want to really kind of, you know, talk shit about yourself or talk yourself down. You really got to be like as positive as you possibly can without being completely insane.

2:49:11BubblemanFocus on authenticity, dude. Hashing Tons just nailed it. Yeah, sorry. Where focus goes, energy flows. There it is. Where focus goes, energy flows. And not only that, also cash. Because those social media companies are monetizing this, you doing this, to the tune of millions, billions, fuck one day, trillions. You know, I... Well, I mean, we're using it right now to share our message. So it's like a double-edged sword.

2:49:40SpeakerWell, and that's exactly what it is. I mean, Huberman Labs says it all the time. It is that double-edged sword, right? We can use it for chaos or we can use it for peace. Like what we use to share and what we choose to watch is what's going to create either one of them, right? So as much as they are creating the content, we are also allowing it by watching it.

2:49:58SpeakerSo what we choose to focus on is where it goes.

2:50:02BubblemanExactly. And so sorry for not sharing my focus with you, Merlin. It's been a while since I last saw you. I always enjoyed our pets and our time together. How have you been? What's the emotional trauma you experienced while Dan was gone in Mexico?

2:50:19BubblemanMerlin wants to be with you every minute of every day.

2:50:21SpeakerAlways.

2:50:22BubblemanYou got to start going to dog friendly places.

2:50:24SpeakerI, well, I don't need you. I just think I'm with me everywhere.

2:50:26BubblemanYeah. But I mean to like traveling like far. Yeah. We're looking. It's hard.

2:50:30SpeakerYeah, it is.

2:50:30BubblemanThere's certificates and quarantines and all sorts of crazy shit in order to bring your pet to certain places. But, uh, Merlin comes everywhere with Dan, truly. I've been in fancy restaurants with this dog while Dan's like eating steak and Merlin's just sitting there. He's not begging. He's not like trying to put his hand, he's literally laying on his chair and everyone in the restaurant that walks by looks at this dog sitting on the chair and you just see it bring a smile to their faces.

2:50:57BubblemanSo you can really see how, you know, this dog has like, back in the day when I first met Dan, Thank you so much for joining us.

2:51:28BubblemanI think it was in the Okanagan somewhere, like in Kelowna or Kamloops. And it just elevated like I could because I was sitting with you and Merlin. So I'm looking at Merlin. He was sitting in the chair next to you. And I could see all the people behind you focused on him for the whole meal.

2:51:45SpeakerI think it was in Edmonton when we were at the grow ups.

2:51:47BubblemanYou know what? It wasn't Edmonton. You're not wrong. It wasn't in the Okanagan at all. It was in Edmonton.

2:51:52SpeakerLike last night, just like what you're saying with this, last night we went to Tap and Barrel and he walked in and Mike was behind me and he says, like, do you realize how much you light a restaurant up? And I'm like, what do you mean? He's like, every single person, as you walked in, I don't pay attention to it as much anymore. But he's like, the whole restaurant turned and went...

2:52:11SpeakerThank you for watching.

2:52:27BubblemanThey're also here. Like if you don't have kids, but you have dogs, like it really teaches you how to care for something. It's not easy to care for another being. So shout out to all the mothers out there and shout out to all the pet owners out there taking care of an animal and doing it on a high bar. Dan takes care of this dog like a human being.

2:52:45BubblemanLike this dog has like the highest caliber of life that you could possibly have as a dog. Yeah, look, that dog is a vibe, man. He's like super fucking tripped out. He's so mellow.

2:52:57SpeakerHe's probably been to more sessions than most people.

2:53:00BubblemanDude, I wish we could see like his, maybe I can take a picture of it. I don't know where I did with my phone, actually. Huh. That's random. No. Must be in a bag. I want to take a picture of Merlin Melts and show it onto the camera. Oh, yeah. At the same time, I want to definitely make sure that I have my phone. Yes. If it's gone, I'm going to be like going to look for it almost immediately.

2:53:33BubblemanFell into the press club, Bob. So let me show you his little, I guess you can kind of see it on his shirt, but Merlin also has one on his, on the back of his shirt. Look at that. Well, he's got to rep his own brand, right? Merlin melts, baby. Merlin melts. So you should give him some of the stuff I gave you.

2:53:54SpeakerOh, yeah. He's going to get fed with the spoon. He's going to get fed with the spoon.

2:53:57BubblemanYou hear that, Press Club? Yeah. Merlin now uses a Press Club spoon to get stuff to the boy.

2:54:03SpeakerYou got to make a video when you do that. Oh, I'm going to.

2:54:06BubblemanI'm going to. That's fucking hilarious, dude. All right.

2:54:10SpeakerCan I offer you a dab out of the... I'd love to. What's up, Dr. Mark? I just said lucky dog.

2:54:15BubblemanLucky dog, dude. Didn't you just lose a dog, Dr. Mark? I did. You did. He lost his dog. Dr. Mark lost his dog.

2:54:24SpeakerYeah, it's 13 years. 13 years. Yeah. Wow. I mean, like, that's probably one of the biggest things that Merlin actually gets is we walk around because I take him everywhere with me. His people walk up to me and they come up to me and they're like, I mean, I just, I just lost my dog and it's like recent. And the nice thing about Merlin is I can literally just hand him off and he will love on them.

2:54:49SpeakerHe'll put his nose in there. He will snuggle in real hard. And like there's, he doesn't phase him. So it's like, I can hand them off to people that just lost their pets and he loves on them and he gets that extra energy. They get that love. So it's, he's a blessing in all ways. That's great. Yeah. That's great. Share the love.

2:55:10BubblemanShare the love, Dr. Martin. Share the love.

2:55:14SpeakerYeah.

2:55:14BubblemanAll right. Well, he's just going to hit another dab here. I got about eight more minutes. Really got to shout out both Puffco and the Press Club for making this happen. I'm dabbing everyone out with Puffco's and I'm giving away all this Press Club stuff. I still have a lot. Press Club has been very generous. I have multiple spoons, a couple more spoons, a couple more. Yeah, I got like, I can give things to, oh, I've also got this that I'm going to give away from Puffco, which is the Hash Making Mat.

2:55:40BubblemanWe'll get that off to some folks. And that's just nice to be able to kick down some of this stuff to folks. I should check my parking to make sure that that's all still. Yeah, 29 minutes. Wonderful. It's amazing how many things I can pay attention to.

2:55:55SpeakerWhen you come to Quebec, bring me a spoon.

2:55:59BubblemanI'll bring you. Okay. Okay. But then I can't give one of these away.

2:56:03SpeakerYeah.

2:56:04BubblemanI got to keep this one for you. I have one more spoon to give away.

2:56:09SpeakerYeah, I think I could bring that over the border, right? They won't laugh at a spoon, will they?

2:56:14BubblemanNo, of course you can bring a spoon over the border. Just don't have it be filled with cocaine.

2:56:18SpeakerYeah, exactly.

2:56:21BubblemanDon't have it filled with the cocaine, Mark. It's a cereal spoon. That's a cereal spoon. I'm a big cereal. I got one. There we go. Just pull that out. Pull that bad boy out.

2:56:38SpeakerHow's it going, Merlin?

2:56:40BubblemanGive me a little sniffles. Little kisses. That's it. Little kisses. Dude, check your parking. I did. I checked my parking. I have half an hour left on my parking. So that's level. In fact, I put the parking app right on the front page. Yeah. So I can see. Yeah. So when I open my phone, I can see the timer right there. Yeah. On a little widget. Just did that recently.

2:57:06BubblemanI'm quite proud of myself. Yeah. Reem, Reem, Reem. Alrighty.

2:57:10SpeakerWe're going to head off to get out. All right. Thank you very much. Yeah, I'll come back and I'll come out there.

2:57:16BubblemanI got just only a few minutes. Eight more minutes and I'll come join you. Beautiful. Awesome, dude. Alrighty. Thanks. See you guys later. Take care.

2:57:24SpeakerSee ya. Nice looking dog.

2:57:28BubblemanOh, dude. Merlin's great. Damn, it's great. They're great. They're all great. It's greatness. Giving away some goodness. Nice to see him. Maybe we'll do one more. Maybe we won't. I'm definitely going to give the guy who gave me my first jar, which I have since, I don't even know what I did with that jar at this point. So the guy that gave me this jar. That's cool.

2:57:57SpeakerWhales.

2:58:04BubblemanYeah, he's an indigenous guy. He's got the beautiful indigenous sort of artwork here. Super nice dude. I met him actually, funny enough, in Edmonton on the same trip I just told the story about being in the restaurant with the dog. Pretty trippy. Pretty trippy. Oh, who's in spotlight? Am I in spotlight? Remove spotlight. Yeah, I guess I was. Oops. Had myself all spotlight. My bad. I guess I was interviewing people, so...

2:58:36BubblemanI got eight minutes left, five minutes left. If there's anyone you think in here that I should do one last interview with.

2:58:42SpeakerI already interviewed you. I started the show with you, dude. I know, I'm kidding. We've got five minutes left. We've got Merlin Smelts. I just went to pick up a jar of slur cane, and I was like, dude, I need some dabs. He's like, well, he was just here, so I had to make sure I get some dabs, right?

2:58:55BubblemanDude, Merlin is fucking hilarious, dude.

2:58:58SpeakerIsn't that awesome? I'm like, you know, I have to go grab a jar. You're sitting there talking with them, and...

2:59:07BubblemanOh my God. That's fucking awesome, Johnny.

2:59:09SpeakerThat was it. I was just like, you know what? I love when he does. You gotta have a jar. What is it? That's the Merlin mouth? That's the Merlin mouth. Fucking damn good. I was like, if you're sitting here anyway, I think we got some fucking blood. And I got to stop swearing so much at home.

2:59:24BubblemanWell, you're allowed to swear, Johnny B. You know what? We always swore. Well, this thing seems dead. What if someone killed it?

2:59:32SpeakerI'm going to do my push-ups right here in four minutes. No problem.

2:59:35BubblemanI'm going to try and see if I can heat this thing up and drop a dab in before you do your push-ups. There you go. Oh, I got three here. Good, because you're getting this dab there right away.

2:59:49BubblemanNice and hot. Just how Johnny V likes it. On the white setting. What do you got going on over there? It doesn't look good.

3:00:00BubblemanAddable dabs? Was it bitter?

3:00:09BubblemanIt tastes like you're eating a straight dab. No, I look over at her and she's like this. Her face is like she just ate the sourest thing ever. Keep going. Oh, my God. That was funny. It's weird, apparently. That's his version. Where does you like the taste of it? Wow, isn't that interesting? It really shows how we wire our brains differently and all of these systems we use are completely different.

3:00:43SpeakerYou got to go? Yeah, I got to do a presentation. I thought it would be wonderful. Where are you going? I got to go down and find a place to hide.

3:00:50BubblemanAll right, John's got to go. He's three minutes away from having to do his presentation. Good luck, Johnny B. Thanks for the dabs. Is that yours? Good. Johnny's hilarious.

3:01:06SpeakerWhat's he giving a talk on?

3:01:08BubblemanI would guess AI if I was betting money.

3:01:12SpeakerRight.

3:01:12BubblemanHe's an AI guy. Now he is, yeah. Very much so. Very much so. All right, well, that was amazing, dude. First of all, I think that was awesome. I think we did it, bro. I'm going to maybe film some interviews while I'm here, but if I had a cameraman to follow me around with my phone, I would walk around for the next two hours and do interviews, but that was a three-hour hash church.

3:01:35BubblemanLet me text my son, who's going to shut it all down from my house because he's on the main... He's controlling the main computer this morning. My eldest son, Tosh.

3:01:54SpeakerAs in Peter Tosh.

3:01:56BubblemanYes, as in Peter Tosh.

3:01:59BubblemanAs in, I love the Hayes. As in, I love the Tosh. Oh, look at that.

3:02:10BubblemanI'm going to slowly take this link off, which quite happy that it comes off very easy from the pipe. It's actually all very clean. Throw this back on. Take the bowl back out, drop it onto the puff close so I can keep hitting. Put the pipe away because it's delicate. Yes, it should be put away. I'll probably pull the link box out and wrap that bad boy up.

3:02:45BubblemanOh, dropping the 14-4. Don't do that. Thank you, everyone, for coming out. Thank you to our sponsors, Puffco and the Press Club. Certainly mentioned them today more than any other day, mainly because they fueled all my dabs today.
