BubblemanWelcome everybody, live and direct from the reserve here in Denver, Colorado. Very happy to be here. I wanna shout out my sponsors and I wanna shout out some other folks today. So give me a second here. We'll just turn that down. Always nice when that happens. All right, so what I need to do, Because I need to open up a few things here real quick. Because we're going to do things a little bit differently today.
BubblemanIf I can figure it out. This is one of my first times doing Hash Church. Oh, photo unknown. Look, none of my shit's going to share. That's awesome. I love this new computer. How fun is that?
Etienne FontanIt just won't show the photo.
BubblemanThat's trippy. All right, well, I'm sure the Press Club will understand. I'm sure the boys from Puffco will understand as well. For some reason, you're pinned, and it's driving me nuts, Kyle. You're pinned. Here, come check it out. You're in the room, you're pinned, and I'm not. I don't know why. I don't know. I don't know. It's an interesting thing, but... Let's see what it looks like on the actual YouTube channel.
BubblemanI think it's fine. I think we're good. It's just for me. That's super fucking weird though. Like super fucking weird. Anyway. All right. So thank you everyone for popping in. I'd like to start the day before we get rolling with today's episode of Hash Church. I wanted to take a moment to send some love out to all the mothers tuning in today, you know? Happy Mother's Day to the women who brought us into this world, kept us fed, kept us grounded, and in many cases taught us what real unconditional love looks like.
BubblemanAnd of course, a huge thanks to our incredible sponsors, Puffco and the Press Club for supporting Hash Church and helping us continue these conversations week after week. At Puffco, innovation and design have completely transformed the way people enjoy solventless extracts, whether it's the Puffco Peak Pro, the Puffco Proxy, or the Puffco Pocket Friendly Pivot. They've made dabbing much more approachable, cleaner, and really more enjoyable for people all around the world.
BubblemanSo we shout those guys out in a big way. And at the Press Club, We, you know, they continue to build some of the best solventless tools in the game from premium rosin bags to water hash bags and accessories designed by people who truly understand the craft in the community. But today, we'd also like to acknowledge the mothers behind these companies, the women who raised the innovators, entrepreneurs, and creators who built these incredible brands.
BubblemanWithout their love, support, and guidance, there's a good chance that none of this would exist. So to the moms of the teams at Puffco and the Press Club and to mothers everywhere, Thank you for your patience, your wisdom, and your endless support. We appreciate our sponsors. We appreciate their families. And most of all, we appreciate all the mothers out there. Happy Mother's Day from all of us here at Hash Church and Bubble Man's World.
BubblemanThat's just nice. Nice to shout out the moms, you know? Let's see what we got here. There's a dynamic gallery that I can do with Kyle. We'll see if we get some other folks. And I'm very confused as to, I guess I have to pin myself to make myself the main thing. I'm still learning as always. This is doing hash church on a new computer is not always easy.
BubblemanI really wish that I could, like, what if I go like this? Do you see?
BubblemanOpen system settings, privacy, security. Okay, I've got shit all like locked up and it's weird. It's wild. I've never been able to not share something on Hash Church, like my logo or whatever. So that is weird, but it is what it is. I hope everyone's doing well. I am here with Kyle. I want to say to Kyle, happy birthday, buddy.
SpeakerThank you, sir.
BubblemanIt's your birthday, dude. It's your birthday. That's your birthday, dude. You are sharing it with the mothers. That is awesome. So give Kyle a little happy birthday. A little hashy birthday is about to hit the Puffco right now. Went and got laced up yesterday by Scott. Thank you, Scott. And thank you, Puffco. Just always fucking doing it. Always making it awesome. Shout out to Puffco. I think I'm ready to hit some flavors.
BubblemanGot a little bit of this Michigan in the house. It was very lovely. Oh, look, my camera has gone back to doing like funny dynamic things. So I'm going to remove center stage. There we go. We'll get rid of that. All right. Thank you for bearing with us today, Hash Churchers. Yes. Vape Cab. Happy birthday to Kyle. Exactly. You got all the happy birthdays coming in. John Booth, Booth9666 just gave you a happy birthday.
BubblemanThe Trov2100 just gave you a happy birthday. Yeah, dude. 33. It's magically the ball and number. Do some research. Yeah, we are going to level up. There's no doubt about it. We've got a pretty chill, mellow hash church today. I was so happy to come in from the reserve. This is the spot that Kyle's been working on for a while. I have joined him in partnering up with him to promote the reserve.
BubblemanYou want to throw super high-end parties in Colorado. You want to do a brand... Adam Dizzle, Nick, Skully Vibes, Storm, Storm, Storm, Storm, Storm, Storm, Storm, Storm, Storm, Storm, Storm, Storm, Storm, Storm, Storm,
BubblemanThat would have been around 2002. And that's the place that I put the Japanese cherry marble, you know, the hardwood floors in. And I built this place. So it was custom red brick on the wall. It was just beautiful. But it was before its time. It was above and beyond what most people were ready for. This place feels like the perfect timing. You've got the mature market of Colorado that started in 08.
BubblemanIt's had ups and downs. It's had a down for the last little while, but I Thank you for watching.
BubblemanYes, the honey bananas. Let us see what we will do with the honey bananas. So we're not sure what kind of day we're going to have today. I mean, obviously we're going to celebrate Kyle's birthday. I mean, we're not sure what kind of hash church we're going to have. I know Etienne is in at La Crema in Barcelona right now. He's on one of his little trips.
BubblemanI'm not sure if Colin's got, you know, some sports with his kids today. So we'll have to... I'll have to play it by ear and see what we got. There we go. Honey Bananas going down the Gipper. I've also got a really good show planned with TJ from the original Resonator. He originally had his 21st wedding anniversary and then had some problems. I don't know if it was like thievery or a break and enter.
BubblemanI'm sure he'll be able to tell us about it when he comes on, but that's why we haven't done the part two to the cryo episode. And I still have plans to do part two to the volatile organic compound episode with Jeremy Plum. And Nick Ziegler and the Ian from Abstract and Dr. Mark and all these other great folks. So we will get on to doing that at one point in time.
BubblemanIn the meantime, I'm going to put a little invitation out to Colin and Dr. Mark. Just make sure that they are aware that it is Sunday morning. I need them to be here with me. Otherwise, I'm going to have to get Kyle to come on live and go sit a little further away on the table so we can chat on Hash Church here. I'm all by my lonesome, goddammit!
BubblemanAlright. Yeah, buddy. All right. I got to tell you, what a great trip in Michigan. Really had a nice time. I'd love to share pictures with you, but apparently I can't. So we'll have to figure that out. I'm going to have to figure it out. Let's see. Open system settings. Okay. So Zoom is apparently not allowed to use password. I don't even know what my password is.
BubblemanJesus Christ.
BubblemanOkay, that was just a recording. Oh, that's what it is, right? Because we're recording right now. Oh, look, I fixed it. I think I fixed it. I think I'm going to be able to run these guys through some Michigan photos. So let me just close this real quick.
BubblemanFind the Michigan photos.
BubblemanAnd then we'll go on from there. Oh gosh, I got Whistler. Okay, so here's Detroit.
BubblemanHere's Detroit, Detroit. All right, I'm going to put up a few pictures for you guys because we're going to talk about Michigan for a little bit. So Michigan was great. It was my first trip to Michigan. Okay, what's this all about? Zoom US would like to record this computer screen. Grant access. I did grant access. Can you guys see it?
BubblemanThat's what I need to see. I need to see if you can see it. No, you're not seeing it. But I'm a little behind here. So let's see if I move it forward. Yeah, you see it. There we go. I guess I could just go into the chat room. So you see it, right? Okay, okay. Jesus Christ, this is a rough one today, Kyle.
Etienne FontanNo, not really.
BubblemanAll right, so this is Detroit, me landing, waiting for my bus. My bus. Went to customs, didn't take any pictures. I thought it was amazing in Detroit and Michigan that you have these giant billboards everywhere. This one's for the House of Dank. Shout out to the House of Dank. I hope you guys pick up my brand again soon. We were in the House of Dank originally, and then we kind of fell out, and now we're working on our way to get back in.
BubblemanSo maybe when they see that we shouted them out on Hash Church, they'll be like, holy shit, we got to... If you go to House of Dank, in fact, let them know you saw them on Hash Church and let them know that they should pick up the Bubble Man brand. Wouldn't that be cool? This is not a cookies place, believe it or not, but this is actually where my lab is in Michigan.
BubblemanSo this shop is called The Exclusive. It's one of the busiest shops in all of the U.S. actually, mainly because it's on the border with Ohio. And so Ohio doesn't have as cheap of product as Michigan. So 90% of the people in the parking lot are from out of state. And if you zoomed in onto the sign here, it actually says out of staters welcome. A little bit of the lab here.
BubblemanA little Bubble Man promotionary gear. Just like product. That was some full melt bubble that Ryan, Papa Sift, made in... In Michigan. And it was spectacular. Blew my mind. It was six star. It was actual six star hash. I was so proud of him. Shout out to him for producing some absolutely stellar fucking hash. Good job, buddy. Unfortunately, there was only a couple of ounces left to photograph.
BubblemanThere's some hash hits geared up and ready to go. And let me actually see if I can go find this same photo on here. And then I'll know exactly what photo's the next photo. All right, so a couple of Ryan, Papa Sif, there he is, watching his work. Some of our labels that we played around with. I actually like that one. Looks kind of cool. Shout out to Hashtag and Osprey.
BubblemanLow temp. These are the two units that we run side by side in the hash room, as well as low temp presses. Brian's doing a great job. We also want to shout out Rosin Reactor. I don't know how you guys are decarbonizing your oil for your vape pens, but it's not a secret that if you aren't using a Rosin Reactor, I can promise you that you are not retaining the same level of volatile organic compounds as the rest of us.
BubblemanUnfortunately, that is just the truth. So there's some of my brick hash. I couldn't believe what a good job he was doing on brick hash. Like unbelievable quality, like sweating, like pietella. Yeah, very impressive to say the least. I'm going to go real fast through some pictures right now because that's the reserve. We'll get back to that. And just chilling in Michigan, enjoying the Puffco's honey bananas.
BubblemanThat was absolutely delicious. In fact, it's what I just smoked seconds ago. In fact... Bob, a bubble man vending machine. That would be hilarious, dude. Shit. Maybe we got to get one of those. Look at that. Look at that wet, gassy fucking. That was the great gas, dude. Why don't you smoke that right now? Right? It does shit like it owes you money.
BubblemanI got to go and fast forward through some more here. Let me get stopped for a second so I can find where I was. I don't know how I got to the end of the photos already. Oh, because they haven't uploaded yet maybe. Yeah, interesting. Anyway, that's all I got right now that's not on my phone. So that's it for now. We'll hit some more later. I have a lot of beautiful rosin photos and bubble hash photos that I want to share.
BubblemanAnd yes. I have Bubble Man shirts, I have Bubble Man hats, and I have Bubble Man hoodies. We only made a few, but I am going to make a point on getting some made here soon, but possibly with one of my partners. And we'll have them available. We'll put them up. People want these. Little hat with a B on it, super nondescript. The hoodie says Bubble Man underneath.
BubblemanIt's a little more descript. I preferred it like that. And yeah, that was a hoodie with the wizard on the back. Yes, bingo. You're right. It does actually stand for bingo. Bingo, bubble man, bubble hash, bubble bags. That's exactly it, dude. Well, I'm just happy to be here. So I got here the other day. I was kind enough to pick me up at the airport, Denver Airport.
BubblemanLet me tell you, I left the airport. And then apparently like an hour or so later, some guy jumped over the fence, broke onto the tarmac and got sucked into the engine of a plane. And it has now is perished, is gone. So that was pretty fucking shocking kind of to read about, you know, that it was... As a Canadian, I can say that we hear and read American news all the time.
BubblemanWe're constantly like, we laugh when we hear a story that starts with a Florida man. If it starts with a Florida man, we know we're in for some good shit. Could involve fucking gators, could involve a 60-foot fall and a three-mile sprint. Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever, right? So... But it's different when you're in the state, especially like I was just at the airport before that happened. I just left like it could have been our plane.
BubblemanJust shocking. People got hurt. Like, it was a bad scene for sure. So, sorry to that dude that was in a, you know, such a heavy place in his life that that was where he got pulled to. And sorry for the people that got affected by it. I mean, shit, I just saw the news story and I was affected. I can't believe what it would have been like to be on the plane with the window seat watching that guy go in and out of the engine.
BubblemanI can't imagine the force that that fucking thing... is uh is pulling yeah well we don't have much news dude you know what are we gonna see there's not much news so yeah that was heavy uh Kyle picked me up that was awesome cruised through the city got here so early we were like we're gonna go to the pizza truck we had a beautiful pizza truck in the back parking lot we went over there No one to be seen in the pizza truck.
BubblemanThen we're like, oh shit, I think it's like 10 in the morning, dude. It's probably unlikely that the pizza truck is operational. And so I don't know what we ended up doing. Oh, we went and saw Scott from Puffco who laced us up beautifully. Thank you so much, Scott and Puffco. Very sweet to be laced up. Always happy. I don't like traveling with this stuff. Puffco is so generous.
BubblemanI give it all away. Every time I gave my last stuff away when I was in Michigan a couple of days ago to Ryan, to Papa Sift. Who is well deserving of a Puffco and a Link and a New Glades. So shout out to those guys for making it easy to share. What's up, Montana? Got a call the other day from a guy in Montana that I might end up going and seeing and doing some consulting for.
BubblemanHe's in Billings. I've never been to Billings.
BubblemanAll right. What did Colin say? I'm getting private messages over here like on the regular. See what these guys are saying. Oh, right. It's Mother's Day. Shit, of course. I'm terrible. I shout out all the mothers and then I'm wondering where all my married friends are when they don't show up in the room. Shout out to my wife, actually, for being so amazing and awesome and Thank you for watching.
BubblemanI'm super excited for Colorado. If you guys are in Colorado and you want to link up, hit me up, bcbubbleman at icloud.com. You can hit me up on Instagram as well. It's harder because I get so many messages on there, but I can try to reply and find you. But yeah, I'm here for a week. We'll be cruising around with my sales guy, Drew. We'll see some stores.
BubblemanGoing to go make some hash down in Moffitt with my partner, Daniel. So I'm pretty excited about that as well. We're going to test out the mini osprey for a few days here before I teach my course at Low Temp on May 16th, on Saturday, I believe, the 16th. And that's all day, like 8 a.m. till, you know, 5 or 6 p.m. or 4 or 5 p.m., don't quote me, class.
BubblemanSo if you are around, it It is going to be a pretty good little experience. If you want to hear about the history of Bubble Hatch, if you want to hear about... You know, the breakdown on my journey of not just my history, but the macro photography and how I had to take that up in order to really see and exist in these other worlds before I could really understand what was going on.
BubblemanI'm going to kind of go through all of that. So Scott will be coming in later from Low Temp and we'll talk about it. We're still early on here on Sunday, May 10th at 1018 at the Reserve, dude. I'm going to do a lot of hash churches from here. I know Kyle's building out some sort of nicer podcast area room. I don't know if it'll be green screen and we'll be able to have a nice big stained glass window behind me or what, but it'll be cool.
BubblemanAnd we will definitely be doing some hash churches from there.
BubblemanYeah, well, I've got some some good ones anyway. You know, I will say one of my favorite days ever. Thanks to Mark Clokey for this because he invited me and my wife to his event. He was throwing some cannabis event. His cup, terrible that I can't remember the name of it. The Kush Cup. Look at that. I can't remember the name of it. So it was called the Kush Cup.
BubblemanAnd Mark Clokey put it on. And I was invited, I can't remember if he invited us to like the actual, I don't know why I didn't watch the standup, but he invited me for Charlie Murphy. And for some reason, I have no memory of seeing Charlie Murphy do the standup. Instead, he walked me and my wife to the green room and there was just one table with four chairs and me and my wife sat down at the table.
BubblemanAnd we could hear people kind of outside laughing, but we were kind of having our own vibe. We were at a point with the kids and in our life where we actually appreciated being in a quiet, alone backstage room instead of being in the full madness of it all. Anyway, when the show ended, a very large man walked in and right behind him was Charlie Murphy, Eddie Murphy's brother.
BubblemanFrom the real Charlie Murphy's Hollywood stories, true Hollywood stories by Charlie Murphy. Darkness, exactly, darkness. Anyway, I got to meet Charlie Murphy that night. I got to hang out with him, I'd say for maybe two hours, we sat at the table. And Charlie and I went head to head just telling epic stories, dude. And his stories were... I mean, epic because they involved like super famous people.
BubblemanSo they were on a different level in that sense. But my stories were still entertaining enough that I had him and his buddy, his bodyguard, who ended up being like a A lifelong friend of Charlie's. That's how he ended up hiring him as his bodyguard. They had known each other since they were young kids or whatever. And yeah, I got to spend two hours at a private table with nobody else around except me and my wife and Charlie and his homie from childhood and just tell stories.
BubblemanAnd man, I'll tell you, dude, that was probably one of the highlights. To be able to get to hang out with him and tell him those stories and hear his stories, you know, ones that weren't on Chappelle's show. So rest in peace, Charlie Murphy. Yeah, fucking awesome. Wow, you know what? I'm not tethered. I can get up. I can move. I can move, dude. I rarely move.
BubblemanAll right, we're going to get a drink because I'm super thirsty. We're going to walk here through the reserve. See a little bit of where I'm at right now. It's fucking incredible. So ridiculous. It's so ridiculous. Should I get a drink? Should I get a drink? I think I'm going to get a drink. What do we got? That hibiscus lime was good. Strawberry, blueberry, dragon fruit. You know what?
BubblemanI think I'm going to try the Sicilian orange. Let's do Sicilian orange, shall we? All right. What's up, James? I'm Kiefer from the band Cinderella. Cool.
SpeakerFun. That is fun.
BubblemanIt's going to be that Mother's Day hash church where it's going to be me talking nonstop for four hours. I got it in me. No problem.
BubblemanOoh.
BubblemanThe Prince basketball stories were all his stories were epic. When you have someone like Dave Chappelle, who's literally the modern day storyteller of our time, he's like the best at it. He's the only one that can like tell you the punchline at the start and then take you through the whole joke and tell you the punchline at the end and you're still laughing your ass off. He's brilliant on so many different levels, yet he paid homage to Charlie Murphy.
BubblemanLike he was like, Charlie's got the best stories. And let's not like, like, I hope there'd be no disagreement. The best Chappelle show skits were the Charlie Murphy true Hollywood stories with Rick James and Prince. Like, please, it was so good. For those of you that did not see it, well, how lucky are you? Because you can just go back and watch these. And let me tell you, it won't be quite the same because there was this group consciousness going on while Chappelle's show was live for those couple of years.
BubblemanIt was very powerful. It had us all saying funny things like, I'm Rick James, bitch, and many other funny things. Darkness, which is one of the things that I saw already in here. Just brilliant, brilliant. Comedy, social commentary on the whole nine yards. I appreciate it. I like when we laugh at it more than when we get mad at each other for it. That's just my opinion.
BubblemanThat is just my old opinion. When am I coming to Illinois? Well, there's a party that my, the company I work with, Redemption Botanicals, shout out to Marshall. Shout out to Dred. He's the grower over at, um, redemption botanicals and i'm sure he'll pop in anytime and gift away five free subscriptions as he does every single sunday grows super dank weed anyway i believe it's the fourth or the fifth that he is having a party in illinois and it's with all the brands so dna will be there and Thank you so much for joining us today.
BubblemanVery soon, if you even want to come in and announce it, you're welcome to right now in a little bit. Kyle will come in and announce that party and we'll show the flyer and stuff. But it's here at the Reserve and that's going to be a really fun private party that we're throwing. And so that's like June 6th or 7th. So it's like I got to leave Illinois and come right to Colorado in a very short period of time.
BubblemanI'll have like just some hours to spare before I go from one to the other. So that happened this trip as well with Michigan. And I suspect it'll happen more and more as I want to make sure that I'm in the states that I'm representing and hanging out and meeting everyone and doing my thing.
Etienne FontanSo, yeah.
BubblemanBubble Man at the Reserve. That's right. Dude, the Reserve was so good. I am fucking a fan of the Reserve. It is proper. All this beautiful art that Adam Dunn has brought over. We'll tour the art in a little while, but yeah, this place is over the top. Yes, I need to come to the Bay Area eventually. We'll work on some Cali deals right now. Everything's out east.
BubblemanIt's Massachusetts, New York. Those are two sort of focal points that I'm going to have to spend time. And so it makes sense to me while I'm doing that to spend more time around states that are in and around there and not ones that are on the other side of the country.
BubblemanAll right, Granbo Gross says he's going to see us in a few hours. All right, buddy, we'll be here. Come on down. Everyone clicked like, look at this guy.
Etienne FontanYeah, absolutely. We're here.
BubblemanWe're here for you. I got to, what else we got going on? Smoking hash. We are smoking hash. Hash jar is here. That's true. It's been very enjoyable. I just smoked the honey bananas. I'm a fan of this one, dude.
SpeakerSo good.
BubblemanYeah, the haze brulee is spectacular. Yes, the reserve party is June 6th.
BubblemanSmoke that like button, fam. Oh, smoke that like button, fam. I read it a weird way. That was Rambo. Smoke that live button, fam. That like button. Well, I think I'm going to start sending the links out to some homies.
BubblemanI did hit up Stuart, but that was pretty last minute. That was pretty last minute. Everyone I know has a woman in their life.
BubblemanActually, maybe, maybe, maybe I got a homie. Maybe I got a homie.
SpeakerDude, happy birthday.
BubblemanDude, at least it's not flashing red on you. It's always our fault. Don't get us wrong, but fuck and hell. Thanks for church, brother. We'll put that live and the like. Johnny B. Johnny B. Oh, Dr. Mark. I sent the link to Dr. Mark. I would guess he's giving me...
BubblemanHey, Marcus Chat, shout out Australia. I will shout out Australia. First of all, awesome. From the earliest times of starting Bubble Bags, one of the first people to connect with me was the Mullum Madman. And I knew nothing about Mullum Madman or the Mullum Bimby Madness or Mullum Bimby. I learned about it through Paul, my friend, the Mullum Madman, who I met on Overgrow. And he really took a liking to the bubble bags.
BubblemanVery early on, he thought, I'm going to try these out. He tried them. He made spectacular hash with his amazing outdoor Mullum Bimby Madness plants. And he ended up sending me seeds from his dad's stash from the 70s and his stash from the 90s. And so one of these days, I do hope to get those cracked. I worry they have been pulled and refrigerated, but I do worry that they don't crack.
BubblemanI hope that I could keep them to a point where we could just give them to a lab and they could crack that open and take some of the culture, some tissue, you know, like little cellular material and grow that plant. That would be amazing. I would hate about the idea of losing it. But the Mullumbimby Madness was an incredible narrow leaf drug cultivar, very much like the Hayes and the Hayes Brothers.
BubblemanThey got all this weed coming in and they're collecting seeds and they're crossing them and breeding them. The Mullumbimby Madness was a similar thing where the Australians would get flower in from Santa Marta in Colombia or they get Thai or they get whatever. And they would take these narrow leaf drug cultivar seeds and they would breed them in to this thing called the Mullumbimby Madness. Which is why the two seed stocks that I have are going to be different.
BubblemanThe dad's is going to be closer to one of the original, you know, earlier reiterations of the plant. And the 93 that's further along down the line of selection. So pretty darn good. Very special. The guy was crazy. He used to send flower and hash. I remember smoking a Mullum Bimby Madness joint with Breeders Steve at his wedding from Australia. So shout out to that guy, that maniac.
BubblemanI hope he's doing well. I hope he's still involved in cannabis. And yeah, the Mullum Bimby Madness, that was a keeper for sure. Yeah, exactly.
BubblemanExactly. So I still have it. We'll see. See one day if I can get it, you know, grown. Apparently Kyle got a really good rip because he's now on the staircase coughing his head off.
BubblemanYou getting birthday rips, dude? Oh my gosh. Are you going to release an all mesh version? Well, I have basically an all mesh version with a little bit of nylon at the top, a little bit of material at the top that we still use, just like about that much. But the majority of the bag of my labs, they're like 75, 80% nylon mesh.
BubblemanMullen Bimby was first name, first named ounce I ever bought. That's sick, dude. Yeah, I mean, to me, it was perfumey, it was lovely, it was light and fluffy, and it was racy, and it was incredibly energetic. And it was just, what it was, it was like a haze, but it wasn't a haze, it was a Mullumbimby madness. And the other ones that I can tell you that are very similar to haze and Mullumbimby are the Lamb's Bread in Jamaica.
BubblemanThese are, once again, another combination Cluster of narrowleaf drug cultivars collected from around the world, probably mostly India, and grown on the island at the one time of year that you can grow because it's so damn close to the equator and the plant just doesn't get to veg at all. Yeah, maybe we should. Maybe we should. Little hash churcharoonies. Little hash churcharoonies.
BubblemanBig fucking plants. Yeah, they're huge. That's the other thing. He would get like... He would get like... I don't want to say the wrong amount, but I remember the plant was like 18 feet wide and like 12 plus feet tall. And he would pull like... Thank you so much for watching.
BubblemanAbsolutely.
BubblemanAbsolutely.
BubblemanSo what else? Yeah, Mullum Bimby Madness, that was good. So yeah, those three narrow leaf drug cultivars, I like that the Bagiolero guys are doing their thing. I like that, you know, Caleb is focused more on like these narrow leaf drug cultivars. The more people have them and expose other people to them, I think the more people will be like, you know what, I like that. I like it like enough more than the other that I'm even willing to pay a little bit more.
BubblemanThat being said, maybe we don't have to after the last time, Dom, Thank you for joining us.
BubblemanSativas, narrow leaf drug called Mars NLBs, viable, you know, in an economic sense, it's always viable from the perspective of like, I love this and I want to enjoy it from the spiritual or medicinal or recreational aspect of enjoying it. It's always viable, but economically, it's not always viable. If people don't understand it and they're not going to buy it and you're going to take the extra time to grow it, And then it just becomes a loss for everyone.
Etienne FontanSo.
BubblemanI don't know if we made the number one podcast or webcast yet. You know, I was thinking about that kind of today, which made me laugh. Oh, what are some of my favorite memories from my Michigan trip? Well, okay. First of all, I think it's important that we give our flowers to the people that deserve their flowers. Don't hold the flowers back. People need them. I apologize if I've held your flowers back.
BubblemanAnyone, anyone out there? Anyway, we're going to give the flowers to the Yield Distro sales team. Aaron Lancelot and his partner. I'm not sure what her name was. I apologize. I had a great conversation with you and it was memorable. You just didn't have a lanyard and I didn't want to ask you your name. It seemed rude at the time. But so many people on our team, our sales team, I'm not usually...
BubblemanI usually clash a little bit with the sales. It's my vision, but it's their job. And so I got to really hope that they can tell the story or whatever the pitch is accurate and that it's accurate, that it doesn't sound disingenuous is super important to me. And these guys were really good at keeping it accurate. There were so many great people on the team, Cousin Mike and Max.
BubblemanAnd Andy and Mason and just an endless Justin, an endless group. Megan, Izzy, Vivian, so many great, great people that were just doing a good job. So the event I went to was called The Exchange. It was a two-day event. It was on a golf course. It was really nice. We were puffing out on the decks of this golf course like crazy. There were all sorts of dab bars and Thank you for joining us.
BubblemanAnd the brands are looking to book meetings over the two days with as many of these buyers as they can and show them their products and try to impress them so they carry them in their store. And it was very effective. I have to admit, like I watched Yield just crush it for all the brands they represent because they represent another seven or eight brands. They represent Apex, Solventless.
BubblemanThey represent Peak. I want to shout out Apex and Peak. They were just awesome people. Connor. And Jacob and Ken over at Peak and the crew over at Apex Solventless as well. Just really good dudes, you know, honing in on their craft, focused in on, obviously, yes, we're a competition to one another, but it didn't feel like that. It felt like we were all on the same team.
BubblemanYield did a really good job. Ryan was great. He drove me out there from the lab. After we spent a couple of days in the lab doing R&D, we rolled up some really beautiful pure hash joints. And that was really fun to smoke pure hash joints with the Michiganers. 99.9% of them had never seen it before. And yeah, it was awesome. Thank you so much for joining us.
BubblemanThank you for joining us.
BubblemanThank you for watching.
BubblemanThank you so much for joining us.
BubblemanThank you so much for joining us.
BubblemanPeople knew how to grow good weed. People knew how to make good hash and good resin. Definitely have to say that Ryan and the Bubble Man brand had the nicest full melt. There was rosins that were on par where, you know, when you get to a certain level with rosin, it's like, oh, this is as nice as it's going to get. There's, they, you know, they had really nice rosin.
BubblemanBut full melt bubble, Ryan was the only one. Bubble Man Brand was the only one that I saw that had Full Melt Bubble at the exchange. So that's kind of like an idea to focus on and press more into Michigan. They're a mature market. They have a mature rosin market. And I think that if Bubble were to float across their plate, Full Melt Bubble, Six Star, I think that they would very much purchase it.
BubblemanSo.
BubblemanWell, who knows? Drizzle Wiz. I have no idea. I've never met you. It's quite possible. Just keep manifesting, dude. I certainly won't try to gatekeep and keep you out of it, but I can't promise to someone that I never met or don't know. But what I do love is that you're passionate and you're stoked. And I know Drizzle Wiz 3555. Maybe one day I'm in New Mexico, we link up.
BubblemanI'm in New Mexico actually already with my partner, Daniel. So the brand is operational in New Mexico.
Etienne FontanI thought you had said something else.
BubblemanOh, yes. John Sinclair. RIP John Sinclair. I met John Sinclair years ago in Amsterdam. He interviewed me on his radio station. God, it must have been the 90s. That was crazy. That would have been at like Eddie's place, the Cannabis College. Crazy, man. That is crazy. Those old cannabis cups, man, I miss them. They were fun. There was like nothing else going on at the time, you know?
BubblemanIt was just the only thing that you could do. Once a year, you could go to the cannabis cup in Amsterdam.
BubblemanWow. That was delicious. Super. I was stepping a golf ball through. Just like, my God. Oh, nice, dude. Yeah, well, he's a super good guy. Easy to become good friends with John.
BubblemanOh, no, you feel what's going on, Boro? Oh, my goodness. Don't do that. Dude, look at this guy. Just keeps buying like fucking birthday snacks. Look at this. Blueberry. Oh, rice. That'll be mine. What are they? Waffles? All right. All right. Would you get two orders? Oh, my God. You are hilarious, dude. You are hilarious. Ash Times Cup, eh? Yeah, I'll try to get back here for sure.
BubblemanIt's not easy. Oh, and Barcelona. Man, I love Barcelona. I have to say, I was bummed out when...
BubblemanWhen they decided to stop, well, not they did, they didn't decide. When they decided to smash down the venue in the hospital, I have to chew this on camera, I apologize.
SpeakerSo good.
BubblemanYeah, it's not bad. Wow. That is very good. Indeed. Well, Mother's Day Church. Bubble Man Solo Church. I don't know if in 12 years I've done a solo church for this long. What's that? Well, you're kind of next to me, but you're not on church with me here. I'm feeling pretty solo here, dude.
SpeakerGet on camera.
BubblemanI feel pretty alone. But that's all good. We're going to go visit our good friend Santi while we're here. Shout out to him and his whole mushroom brew. Maybe go film a little video with his cultures and bags. And we should get some, dude. We should get some bags from Santi. Put it somewhere. Put it in your fireplace there. Three bags. People will be like, what's in your fireplace, dude?
BubblemanIt's like the fire.
SpeakerThe fire.
BubblemanThe fire.
BubblemanMorning from Arizona. What's up, Terp Lorax? Solo streams can get wild. Yeah, you know, I've always been able to pull it off. I used to do these wake and bake streams and some other things. So I suspect there'll be a point in time here where I'll get a couple of people coming in. I know Etienne is in Barcelona right now.
BubblemanWe'll see if he comes in from La Creme. That Crema coffee shop he always hangs out with. I wish I would have spent more time there. I went there only once. Usually the smoke really gets me out of those shops in Barcelona. They're all burning tobacco in there and I just can't fucking deal with it. It is not ideal for me. I wish I had a little more strength to it.
BubblemanHoly moly. I start telling stories I probably shouldn't be telling. Grandpa said when he's doing long sweeps, he's like, fuck. Nah, nah. You know what? I bet.
BubblemanSounds like a podcast. Oh, there's going to be a podcast about it. The Debauchery with Brambo podcast.
SpeakerPretty much. That's his podcast right now.
BubblemanYes, happy Mother's Day to all the mothers indeed. Including the mothers keeping all my panelists from coming on this morning. Thank you.
BubblemanThey deserve a break from four hours of past church. But not me. I'm relentless. I would do this by myself. Probably for two more years before I gave up. Especially after James and Bike put together the incredible, you know, I don't want to say AI, but AGI. And just this searchable database. I don't know how close we are to getting it up and running, but I know the practice version or whatever is up right now.
BubblemanYou can check it out at hashbible.org.
BubblemanI believe.
BubblemanOh, shit. Yeah, I don't think I am missing out. Peace out, Boro. Sleep well. Sleep well. Well, we're closing in on our first hour here. Two weeks. Oh, look at that. James is in the chat. James is in the chat.
BubblemanIn two weeks, it's going to be live. That's pretty exciting. I'm not going to lie. It seems, what's that? I hit Mike up, that he's been like, had his head down, but I think he said he's going to get back to me here in a bit. Awesome. Something along those lines.
BubblemanYummy dessert. It's really good. We'll have to put that there for a second. Smash out a dab.
BubblemanMaybe I'll try that brulee. Yeah, it is funky, isn't it? Oh, we got a good chunk of it left too.
BubblemanBirthday dabs with Kyle. Ah, to be 33 again. How great is that? Yeah, the birthday puff co.
Etienne FontanI love bananas. Yeah.
SpeakerThis is definitely like eating bananas.
Etienne FontanI like that.
SpeakerI like that.
BubblemanAll right. So what do we got going on here? Adam Dunn, I'm here. Happy birthday, Kyle. What's up, Adam? Why aren't you here? That's what I see. Oh, well, that makes sense. That's actually a pretty good reason for not being here. As far as reasons go, I would hope so.
BubblemanWell, Kyle and I are doing it up.
BubblemanWe'll probably escalate into mushroom gummies sooner than later, but we'll see.
Etienne FontanWe'll see. We'll see.
BubblemanOh, not ready yet. Oh my goodness, what a taste though. Yeah, the haze brulee is on point.
BubblemanI can tell you some things, right? Wow. That was pretty bad.
BubblemanSorry for coughing in your ear the first time. I muted it the second time.
BubblemanOh yeah, I sure am. Hitting some Mother's Day dabs here in Denver. Yeah, that thing's amazing. It does chug. It's funny because you could imagine someone saying that and being like, as if it chugs any more than this. It chugs so much more than this. I would say it's literally like 5X. It shocked me how hard that thing hit when I first pulled it. Every once in a while, glass surprises me.
BubblemanEvery once in a while, glass surprises me. Beers definitely does. Here, yeah, let me show it again. Now look at this fucking thing. Straight elbow. All right, let's see if we can like make them come into play. Hey, what's going on, dude? Oh, I'm just heading over here. The elbow puppet show. The elbow.
BubblemanYeah, I don't have any fancy. There's no fancy tops on my... When are you going to get bike on? I want to get biked on today. What are you talking about?
SpeakerWhere you at, bike?
BubblemanLet's see if he wants to. That'd be nice. It'd be nice to have someone fucking come on, talking to myself.
BubblemanYeah, but you don't have a mic. You're like coming in probably super filtered through one of my mics. I know. We have to be like, you know, far away.
BubblemanHowdy, B-Man. Howdy, all in chat. Howdy, howdy.
Etienne FontanAwesome.
BubblemanOh, man, it's more crystallized at 11 than 30. Huh. Bike does what bike does. Well, good, as bikes should.
Etienne FontanYeah, where is my Denver?
BubblemanI don't know. What's going on, Denver? It's like 1052. I bet you Denver's just getting up. Dude, it's Sunday. It's Mother's Day. We've been up for hours.
BubblemanThat Mark Wahlberg comedy was pretty funny. That was pretty funny. What was that called? Balls Up? Balls Up. Balls Up.
BubblemanDo I think Denver is the Mecca for Rodman in the States? Well, first of all, I would have a hard time giving you an accurate explanation because I have not been to all of the states. The other thing is, as it often seems to be, is your ability to find it, whether it's in legal stores or not. You know, if you have bad luck and you go to a market and you buy rosin three times in a row from three very different stores, but you end up buying the shittier ones than the better ones, you might leave thinking that state Make shitty rosin.
BubblemanBut in reality, the slice of that state that you experienced in that very short period of time that you were there was didn't really, you know, it wasn't great. But that has more to do with you and your ability to pick the ones that are actually good versus the ones that aren't. Versus whether that state actually has, you know, great rosin or not. I definitely think people are, it's a mature market here, but I couldn't say if it's more mature than California or, you know, wherever else.
BubblemanProbably great rosin in the... We gonna make a shoot today, yeah? We gonna make a shoot?
BubblemanWasabi. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Hi, Tokaj. It's been great. I love Colorado. Big fan. Big fan.
BubblemanAbsolutely wonderful state from what I've experienced of it so far. The weather's been crazy. I've come here like three or four times in the winter now and it's just like apparently it doesn't snow here and it's like 70 degrees. Is that normal?
BubblemanYeah, it's interesting how the market, the rosin market, you know, I really would be surprised. If the growth in the rosin market wasn't directly correlated to these devices, you know, not necessarily only Puffco, certainly the majority is Puffco if you look at their sales, but just these little things that make, just these simple little things that like, oh, you can... Remember just scooping out the oil and trying to rub it on something and scooping and heating it with a lighter.
BubblemanThis is just like civilized. Like, oh, you just scoop it, you push the button and it drops. All these little devices, the pivots and the peaks and the pros and the proxies and fuck. I can't believe it, man. I used to carry Pelican cases full of shit. Blow torches back in the day, dude. Like everything you could imagine, I've gone through it. Crazy glass, big pipes, small pipes, fucking banger baskets and dab rights and all these amazing things that I still have at my desk at my house.
BubblemanBut I'm not as interested in carrying those things around with me to the top of Whistler Mountain, snowmobiling in the fucking ice caves on the Pemberton ice caps, you know, like wake skating on the ocean on my boat. Like, I can just have these devices. And I'm ignorant to the idea that they can let you down if you don't charge them and if you don't clean them.
BubblemanAlmost like 75 to 80% is user, you know,
BubblemanThank you for watching.
BubblemanI don't think the industry, I think rosin would be at like 0.01% if it was just people in rigs smoking it. It's so, I don't know if the peaks destroyed the melt market to me, honestly. I think that most people don't have melt. They don't have that quality available to them. Certainly they're not squishing that quality of hash to make their rosin. If they are, they're a very, very small percentage of the majority of people who are doing it.
BubblemanAbsolutely.
BubblemanAbsolutely.
BubblemanOh my goodness. What are you saying there, Adam? You tried to get Tim back in the studio multiple times, came up with a great title, Bark Your Couch.
BubblemanOh boy.
BubblemanI mean, I dab melt in mine, but I've got a six star and it's because I see people like, oh, that'll fuck up my atomizer. I'm like, how?
Etienne FontanYou just, it's just like the Robin.
BubblemanYou just scoop it out with the, you just wipe it out with the Q-tip and it seems to work fine for me. Yes, that's right. Most don't have access to the mount. That's accurate. And even when you're talking to someone about their melt, sometimes it's not true melt. Might be a half melt or a sizzle sizzle, but maybe not a six star turn to water and drip down.
BubblemanIf it don't bubble, it ain't worth the trouble. Skunk Man Sam.
BubblemanYes, the Jeffro, I'm the same way. I've got my universal heater from V-Nail and I've got my bangers from Toro from JP. And I use a couple of different pipes. I got a ship and a little Dustin Revere. I like glass. I enjoy the feel of good glass. I love motherships. They hit like nobody's business. And it's definitely a difference. I just can't believe, okay, you know what it's very much like?
BubblemanThat rig, metaphorically, is... The DSLR camera, the high-end camera with the beautiful lens and the high-end batteries, right? Mark 4, 5D, Canon, you know, $5,000, $6,000 camera. And then there's the iPhone. And the iPhone is the Puffco. And the DSLR... is the rig with the courts and the banger and the this and the that and the dab right and everything that you need to take that dab these are getting closer and closer i'll tell you as a photographer i barely take a photo with my dslr anymore it's crazy and these devices will get closer and closer and closer until i have zero doubts that they will surpass the rig It'll be interesting to see how it comes about, what way it comes about, but the way they're working on R&D is so extreme that I would not be surprised in the least that they at least, you know, get to par with a rig, with a unique, I'm not saying this exact device, maybe something completely different, you know, maybe something completely different that's just going to be, you know, completely different.
BubblemanOh yeah.
BubblemanBubble hash dab, take me one Q-tip to clean the chamber. Rosin takes half of a Q-tip. Oh, this guy's like fucking measuring his Q-tips. Holy shit. All right, I don't know why I've got such a weird... Here, let's do Dynamic Gallery. Try that out. What's going on, Darren's S26 Ultra? Hey, bro. How's it going?
SpeakerCan you see me?
BubblemanI can see you. I can hear you.
SpeakerBefore 20K. Bong rip, mother lovers. Better go and fire up the bong, eh?
BubblemanWell, unless you just want to say that shit and then not fire up the bong.
SpeakerNo, I think that would be hypocritical of me. What's going on, dude? Not much, man. How about you?
BubblemanI'm doing good. I was just saying hi to a gentleman that just walked in the door here. Boom. There he is. It's Kyle's birthday today.
SpeakerHappy birthday, Kyle. It was my grandson's birthday last week, and I got him this, my old... The Battle Axe? Viking Battle Axe chain. He likes his chain, so he's going to be real stoked to get this. Oh my God, dude. That is so fucking pimp. The Battle Axe. Yeah, yeah, the Viking battle axe for the grandson. He's going to be stoked for sure.
Etienne FontanDude, that looks pretty good.
BubblemanYes, D420K is the man. Good to see you and the glorious stoic beard.
SpeakerYou know what? I got a story. Oh, good. I was lighting my fucking torch. I was lighting my torch up. There's a little piece there that got melted. On my burner. And it's a light, it's a very blue flame, so you can't see it. And I moved my bong, I moved the tie, I moved my bong to do the bong rip. I reached, leaned in to do it.
SpeakerAnd this whole part of my beard went, like it fucking was, flames were licking my eyeball almost, man. I had to trim it down. It was longer. It was fuller. That was about two months ago. So it's filling back in, but holy fuck, what a surprise. I didn't finish the bong rip, needless to say. I was putting out my face.
BubblemanHoly shit, dude. That's fucking insane. That is insane. I remember when we used to use the beeline all the time. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Okay, so I had a beeline and I was taking a bong rip and then I put it, I waved it out. I shook it and then I put it on my desk right next to me and I guess it didn't go out. It was a super small flame.
BubblemanSo I'm on my computer just fucking working and my wife walks into the office and this fucking beeline ball has like a two foot blade. Like off of it, bro. She's like, why is your office on fire? Like she just, she couldn't wrap her head around it. And then I looked and was like, dude, it was like a magic trick. It just, that didn't exist. And then I looked and it was, it was literally a two foot flame off of my beeline ball.
BubblemanThose things are the ultimate, like, holy shit, man. Like I stopped using that shit in the house.
SpeakerUse it for a fire starter when you're out in the bush. I got it right up with everything I need out there if I got to spend the night even.
BubblemanRight. No shit. Holy Christ, that's funny. That is fucking funny.
BubblemanHe's getting ready now. Yeah, I think we're pretty ready. We're puff going up here. What do I got here? There's that swamp water fumes. It's another one that's got some rotten fucking... It's definitely not good.
SpeakerSome dumpster divers stink?
BubblemanYeah, some dumpster divers stink.
SpeakerNice.
BubblemanSome rotten something something. I quite like the rotten papaya. Big fan, big fan. Happy Mother's Day, Press Club. Did you hear I shouted out your mothers today on the sponsorship shout out? I sponsored the mothers of the entrepreneurs. It was awesome.
SpeakerHappy Mother's Day. Yes. To all you moms and moms that aren't with us.
BubblemanYeah.
SpeakerIndeed.
BubblemanRemember that time you brought Santa Claus in and he did a dab on Hash Church? That was amazing.
SpeakerThat was fucking amazing, dude.
BubblemanHey, fucking roboting out there for a second. You came in weird.
SpeakerIt's funny because when we first started doing some videos, you came up here. We had Santa Claus. In here with us, bong ripping and stuff like that. But he was saying some stupid shit. Do you remember? He begged. He didn't use the videos or anything like that because it was... I'll just put it out there. He was talking stupid, trying to joke, but he was also being a bit racist.
BubblemanOh, shit. Racist Santa Claus.
SpeakerYeah, I think it was like he literally dropped... One of the bombs you don't drop. And I looked at him and was like, yeah, we're not going to be able to put that online, man. You know, you screwed yourself on that fucking video. You know? Well, hopefully we were able to educate him. I talked to him. We did. We did. He didn't drop those bombs around me no more and that sort of stuff.
SpeakerI'm racist as fucking hell myself against stupid people, period. Yeah, you always have been.
BubblemanYeah. Yeah, you always have been. You're racist against stupidity. It's actually not racist, though. You're just hateful against stupidity.
SpeakerYeah, it's pretty fucking hard to take sometimes. But, you know, it happens. Just got to know how to navigate through it. Sometimes it's a little punch. The best learned lessons.
BubblemanI learned some of those when I was younger.
SpeakerYeah, me too.
Etienne FontanWhen keeping it real goes bad, Dave Chappelle style.
BubblemanThat could have been a Chappelle episode.
SpeakerThat guy, when he was doing his thing and he was being a white supremacist leader or whatever, a blind white supremacist. The stuff that that guy comes out with was just unreal.
Etienne FontanYeah, he was pretty brilliant.
BubblemanCan I have the alcohol? We've got our isopropanol in a shot glass. These are the only shots that Kyle does. Isopropanol shots.
SpeakerThere's that guy that does the rosin in there. Geez, I'm trying to remember his name or the stuff that he does, his brand name, but it's really, really fucking good. Make a tea? No, no. He was a new guy on the scene a few years ago. Like he literally, he watched our videos and stuff and got inspired and the way he does his extractions and everything is, is literally near perfect.
SpeakerAnd his raws and like, there's this orange citrus stuff that was tasted like sweet mandarin oranges, not the Not the linolein that you'd get from the fucking diesel and stuff like that, where it's strong lemon aftertaste, but it was just sweet oranges. Fuck, it was good. That's awesome. I think his name's Justin. Okay. Where's he at? He wants some cups. He wants some stuff up in Whistler and stuff a while ago, too.
BubblemanOh, Whistler? I didn't know there was cups up there.
SpeakerWell, I thought it was something to do with you and stuff like that. You guys, it was something to do with... Ash and Roz and everything. The guy is fucking phenomenal. Johnny B would know his name. Fuck, I don't know why I don't know the name right off the bat.
BubblemanIs it Kronosur?
SpeakerNo.
SpeakerVan Span. Van Span. Yes. Have you sampled any of his gear?
BubblemanI think I have, yes.
SpeakerYeah, he's doing some incredible stuff.
BubblemanNice. That's your shout out for the day. Go try some Vanspan.
SpeakerYes, sir. If you can. I don't know where you get it from or whatever, but I'm sure it's available somewhere. What I got to do is I got to drive north here. Back up. Thanks for stopping in. And thanks for the invite. Come in on Sundays. I don't know if we're working up there or not. I think we're taking them off. But I can always pop in while I'm on the site too because I can do that type of shit, right?
SpeakerNo problem. Maybe one day I'll jump in when I'm out working and say hi and show you what I'm doing. That'd be awesome, dude. And everybody out there, thanks for watching. Thanks for bong ripping, mother lovers, and happy Mother's Day to all you beautiful moms out there here and
Etienne FontanGone to heaven. Love you all.
BubblemanPeace out, brother. Safe travels.
SpeakerYou betcha. I just gotta figure out how to exit here now.
BubblemanThat's awesome. You just have it in your fucking, he'll have it in his pocket all the way to where he's driving. Just have D420K in the pocket. There we go. All right. Well, it was nice to see you, D420K. Been a while. I actually talked to him the other night while I was in Detroit, Michigan, spending my last night before I flew into Denver. And I had a good little FaceTime call with D. It was good to catch up with him, find out what he's been up to, find out what his plans are.
BubblemanAnd yeah, just hear from him. It's been too long, man. I haven't talked to Dean nearly as much as I used to when he was more involved in the scene and in Vancouver. So very nice to see him. I got some extract cellar rainbow guava. Amazing. Oh, yeah. Rainbow guava.
BubblemanIs it rosin? Yes, please. All right. I got some extract cellar rainbow guava too. Look at that. I just spoke it into the universe.
SpeakerAnd then I heard this like, I could bring you a jar if you want, Marcus.
BubblemanYes, yes, I do. I mean, he's got two fire flames there with the word amazing. Actually, it's the word amazazing. That might be a misspell or maybe he's throwing a little zaza in amazing.
BubblemanWho knows?
BubblemanHe'll be back another day. It was Dirty Self Genetics. It was indeed nice to see him. Well, we're only an hour and 13 minutes into this hash church and I have only seen one guest so far. This is what Mother's Day does to you. I wonder what these other trippers are up to.
BubblemanLet's see. Sunday. Looks like we're going to be doing another podcast here later with Granbo for Kyle's birthday. At least that's what he said was going to happen. So that's dual podcasts for the Rainbow Guava number five. Okay.
BubblemanHave I tried in-house melts? Yes, I have. Absolutely, I have. I liked everything I tried from in-house. It was really, really nice stuff. Hey, he's a good dude. He's come on Hash Church a couple of times. We link up with them while we're here. I like how they're doing things. I like their selections and pheno hunting and how they go about making sure they have, you know, novel flavors available to their fan base.
BubblemanI think it definitely, you know, I thought they'd been here a lot longer than just like the last two or three years. I was sort of surprised that, well, I guess, you know, you can really establish yourself in Denver with nice product in a fairly short period of time. Just make sure it's consistent and you got good product.
BubblemanAnd more importantly, be very clear on the grades of hash that you're selling. I had a, we do a, like, I call it the mid-grade bubble. It's still like 55% THC. It's just not a melty bubble. It's a bubble you can smoke in a pipe or in a joint or however, but it's certainly not like the meltiest bubble. We don't sell it as melt, but we really have to start.
BubblemanIt got from one store, they kind of copy and pasted a thing that said it was melt and someone bought it and they were upset. So we got to, you know, you want to make sure you figure out how to You know, still give people what they want, but make sure that you're not confusing your customer base and, you know, buying, you know, mediocre bubble thinking it's six star bubble.
BubblemanI mean, you'd think a clue would be when you paid half the price for it, that it would probably be like, maybe, Hey, I wonder if this was like no melt bubble at this price, but people are sometimes anxious to maybe, you know, get that, that good deal. That's so good. It doesn't exist.
BubblemanVolca Lino. There it is. Welcome. I will be growing. I will be growing. That was good. How am I unemployed? Geez, I don't know.
BubblemanIt has. That's not only melt. It makes great hash giants. Yeah, exactly. It does. It's very strong still. You can smoke it in any way. It's still a very strong product. I personally just love melt. I love watching it sizzle and bubble and clear up, clear dome up. It's, yeah, I've always, I was hypnotized by it the first time I saw it and nothing anyone would do from then on in would convince me that non-melty bubble was a comparable experience.
BubblemanBut not everyone wants six-star bubble. I have quite a bit of experience with aged hash. Yeah.
BubblemanAll right. Dr. Mark's a commencement today. I forgot about that. Oh my goodness. Mother's Day commencement for Dr. Mark. It's probably up there giving away diplomas.
BubblemanOh yeah. Look at that. Dr. Mark commencement. Congratulations. That's awesome. The professor. We've got our Vermont University professor at Hash Church that's just here on the regular. Hey, some days he can't make it. Those days he's at commencement doing university stuff. Yeah, those Dougie videos are funny. Yeah, I was, you know, I guess I'm at a point in my life where they, it never, it just didn't trigger me at all.
BubblemanI thought, you know what, this is pretty funny. And I thought it was pretty smart too.
BubblemanBecause he can, you know, he's going to build this conversation and this audience, and then he's going to start releasing his announcements for his events. And that's, Really smart. And guaranteed he's not being bothered by anything that anyone is saying in the videos, you know, and getting upset with him and stuff and taking him all so serious. I don't think Doug is taking himself serious personally. Maybe you have a different opinion, Caleb.
BubblemanWhat do you think of Doug's videos that he's doing on this BHO versus the Rosin Boys podcast?
SpeakerWhich Doug is this? Oh man, I'm so out of the loop.
BubblemanThis is Doug Hitman, right? Dougie. He was Hitman Glass. He did Chalice. Thank you so much for joining us.
BubblemanIt's very much like up your alley in regards to the social commentary. Like the Waterboys have already turned it into like a South Park episode. It's high quality. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So they're trolling Doug in that. So the videos I'm talking about are the videos that Doug has been making. I mean, they're kind of funny. They're kind of funny. They haven't been bugging me at all. But the language, yeah, fail tech, just the whole language of it.
BubblemanHow are you doing anyway, Caleb?
SpeakerI'm doing well. I'm doing well. Just on the road, waiting to see the mother-in-law for Mother's Day.
BubblemanNice. That's what's up. That's what's up. I'm at the Reserve in Colorado.
SpeakerIt looks beautiful. I see sunshine there.
BubblemanDude, check this shit out. Whoa. I'll give you a little tour of the venue.
SpeakerIt's got beanbags. I'm already a fan.
BubblemanDude, they're huge beanbags.
SpeakerWow, multiple stories so you can physically get higher as you get higher.
BubblemanHe's got all the roach art.
SpeakerOh.
BubblemanRight? They're all made from the roaches.
SpeakerAnd then, yeah, look at these fucking bean pictures.
SpeakerNot that I'd advise it, but you can almost jump off there and land on one safely. I'm doing it. I'm doing it.
BubblemanI'm absolutely doing it.
BubblemanWhat do you think, dude? Do you think we can do backflips off the mezzanine and land on these beanbag chairs? You want to be able to open it with your beanbag jumps? You've already thought about it, Caleb. You're a fucking psychopath.
BubblemanThat's awesome. Well, that's cool, man. That is cool. I've just been kind of chilling by myself in here, actually. Telling some stories and talking to the folks in chat.
SpeakerYeah. That was, man, nice. Etienne has joined. Last Sunday, I was at Mendo Cove. I was unable to join. That was a fun local event. And it's the first event that I've heard of that took all the profits that they got from ticket sales, food sales at the event, and from the sponsors and are distributing it back to the farmers that entered. So I'd love to see that be a new standard in cups because I mean, farmers or rosin makers, when they're entering a competition, they've got to put up their best product.
SpeakerThere's already an opportunity cost there. If there's competitions where, especially when they're invite only or when they're geographically limited, if the actual cash costs of Participating can be zero or in this case negative. That would be, that'd be great.
BubblemanSo here's a question. The people that threw the event, did they cover their costs with sponsorship and ticket sales and then give what was left over to the growers? Okay, so they didn't go into debt themselves.
SpeakerNo.
BubblemanBecause then it's not feasible. But they did it as a non-profit. They didn't make any profit.
SpeakerThey didn't make any profit and there was a big team of volunteers that was also needed to make it happen.
BubblemanOkay. Well, that's cool. Yeah, that's a cool idea. My thing is when I wanted to do Legends as just Legends,
BubblemanIt was okay, but when Sam turned it into a contest, suddenly the hashmakers were more willing to spend the time and the money and the energy. It was just like they wanted it to be a contest because they wanted to either win or get second and third, and then really put that on their Instagram, put it on their bios, really promote that idea that I'm an award-winning hashmaker, which...
BubblemanWas kind of the benefit for them, right? And not always were they the grower. Sometimes they were just the hash maker. I was always obviously more impressed when they were the grower and the hash maker. It was like, oh my God, that's incredible. But I also kind of always promoted at Legends that people bring their growers. It's like, oh, bring your grower. Like we want to hear from them too.
BubblemanSo yeah, that's pretty cool, man, that that was distributed back to them. That is fucking super cool.
SpeakerThe winner was a Fire Horse OG from Arcana Flowers in the year of the Fire Horse. That was fitting. And second place was Royal Blueberry from Emerald Spirit Botanicals, which had 9% THC. So that's also super interesting. Nine? It was a one-to-one. Someone's waving.
BubblemanYeah, ATN, how you doing, buddy?
SpeakerHow's it going, homie?
BubblemanYou're muted. Oh, he's having a conversation. He's like, I'm not talking to you. Hello, hello, Etienne, Fantin, vous sommes mutés.
Etienne FontanSorry, I was negotiating some pietella. I'm at the La Crema Gracia and I'm asking for that house hash because I have my own, but don't get me wrong, which I am toking on. But yeah. Hi, everybody. Welcome. Hi from Barcelona.
BubblemanHappy Mother's Day to all the mothers in Barcelona.
Etienne FontanAnd happy Mother's Day as well as FC Barcelona, my team. There's Kenzie over here. Yeah, hopefully soon I'm going to bring on, I wanted to introduce everybody to Stefan who runs La Crema Gracia, which is one of the cooler places here in Barcelona. It's a small local shop. Our friend Ken C works here. I tend to come here when I get the opportunity because the hash is wonderful.
Etienne FontanAnd then he says some rosins.
SpeakerAnd this is what we're going to do.
BubblemanThat shit was like 3D. It came right at me.
Etienne FontanYeah, right. Got to watch that shit. It's hilarious how it does that. And of course, thank you very much to our Puffco people.
BubblemanThat core is insane, dude.
Etienne FontanThis is the most amazing travel companion. I cannot tell you how I used to dream of something small, compact, easy, actually works consistently. And yeah, it's just one of those things that makes me very, very happy. Tools, tools that work. Nothing, nothing more frustrating than tools that don't work.
BubblemanI got to admit, dude, I really do love that one. I take it skiing all the time. I got one here in Colorado too for when I'm out and about and I don't want to hit this in the car or whatever. I feel like that one's... Where are you today? I'm at the Reserve here in Colorado, in Denver. It's like a private kind of club space that my buddy Kyle owns that I've partnered up with him on and we're throwing these like very private parties here.
BubblemanIt's fucking super cool. But all this like amazing art that Adam Dunn has been so kind enough to bring. So these are all Vincent Gordon's. Nice.
SpeakerExcuse me.
Etienne FontanCheck that shit out, dude.
Etienne FontanDonna. Don't know.
Etienne FontanThat first. Thank you.
BubblemanWow, great art, man. Yeah, dude, it's all over the place. This place has great art. He's got a giant Chris Dyer downstairs. I don't know how far I could go before I lose the internet, though.
Etienne FontanSomeone has just... Oh, yeah?
BubblemanHe's like, there's a mesh net everywhere.
Etienne FontanI love your shirt.
BubblemanYou like that?
Etienne FontanYeah, that's fucking awesome, man. Slayer.
BubblemanYeah, it is lying in my old home is slinger. Oh, yes, that guy. So you're in Barcelona. Things are wonderful. You're at La Crema.
Etienne FontanYeah. And of course, with all the art around me and of course. Yeah. So well lit. place with lots of great great cannabis art by mossy giant so behind me of course is the history of mexico which is going to be coming out very soon in um comic book form um so that's i guess the main the main drawing or the the main gallery and then uh they've there's a full breakdown of Everybody in the in the book.
Etienne FontanSo there'll be the grand history of Mexico coming soon because there's a large history of cannabis around the world. And it's great to see these cultures being embraced as well as. Yeah. People care. Yeah. You know, and on top of that, it's, you know, acknowledgement of our history is something that we've been denied for so many years. Right. But our education systems is something we've all had to learn from the counterculture or the underground and our smoking circles, et cetera, you know, because it's definitely, you know, Now it's being taught in, you know, higher educated places.
Etienne FontanBut, you know, earlier on, you know, we had to figure all this stuff out on our own, right? There was no, you know, Oaksterdam universities and things like that to really rally around or point us in the directions until, you know, our generation of people really started to push it in a direction that we realized education had to go beyond just passing out flyers and... You know, talking to the fellow man, we had to get a little serious about shit, so.
BubblemanYeah, no shit. Hey, I have a question.
Etienne FontanYep.
BubblemanOne of the things I love Barcelona, it's one of my favorite cities, and I loved the the spots, the private clubs. One of the things I just absolutely can't handle is the tobacco smoke. It seems like everyone that I go to has this Like it just has tobacco smoke. Is there any in Barcelona that don't allow that or is it pretty much 100% everyone's smoking with tobacco in these venues?
Etienne FontanNo, not everybody, but it's an accepted reality, unfortunately. It's more, I think, a Spanish tradition. You know, it's like that mistake I made. Well, it's a European tradition, right? The first time I made a mistake in Amsterdam in 95, somebody's like, you want to hit this? And I was like, sure. And took a fucking big old whiff of that. And of course, it was the tobacco hash joint.
Etienne FontanAnd of course, I was packing like a wee little child, you know, because not prepared for the tobacco. Uh, or it would not have been hailed as deep, right? So, um, no, unfortunately it's, uh, it's, it's just a reality of, uh, you know, the culture. Um, maybe there are, uh, let me ask.
SpeakerAre there clubs that don't allow tobacco smoking that are strictly cannabis or is it pretty much all mix? I think it's pretty much all mix. Yeah.
Etienne FontanYeah. Stefan, he's the owner. He says it's pretty much all an all mix.
BubblemanSo that's a unique spot. That's a unique thing in Barcelona that if you open the only non-tobacco spot, you would have no competition with the people who didn't want to be in tobacco. There's got to be like hundreds of them at any given time in the city.
Etienne FontanYeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, there's hundreds of clubs, but, you know, he says, yeah, it's common. So that's the thing is tobacco is usually mixed with to stretch things out. Because, yeah, again, traditionally, it's not flour, you know, because Morocco is just over the Mediterranean. So they're used to, you know, dry, crumbly hash. And so dry, crumbly hash is what goes into this, you know, their You know, they're cigarettes or they're joints, quote unquote.
Etienne FontanBut remember, because remember when we were in Barcelona, I mean, we were in Amsterdam, they would call our joints either Germans or Americans because it was strictly cannabis because that's how, you know, they viewed us as the weirdos, right? Because we actually... Did not mix our hash and tobacco. We put hash in our weed and they're like, what the fuck are you doing? Right. Because, you know, we were, you know, you know, and, you know, Sam and everybody else, you know, you just follow his little trail of screens everywhere.
Etienne FontanRight. So, you know, everybody had their thing. But the majority of You know, Dutch and European people, again, they think it's this traditional dryer hash that they're used to using a lighter to crumble and stretch it along their tobacco because there was just no cannabis flower floss, you know, to, you know, mix anything with, you know, and if so, it was, yeah, mixing it with hash. It's just they consider that, you know, some sort of weird sin.
BubblemanWell, hopefully, you know, down the line, they can, like all of us, just learn that, oh yeah, shit, we, you know, we grew up with this, but maybe it's not the best way, but we can still do this. It just seems like a wild... Thank you so much for joining us.
BubblemanThat was tobacco free. That was my only kind of bummer that I could never hang out at the shops, even HQ. And David spent an incredible amount of money on an HVAC system, like 60 or 70,000 euros, you know, just this beautiful system. But when it got busy in there, I just, to me, it's, I just get sick. I just, I can feel, I feel physically ill from it.
BubblemanLike it's, I'm being poisoned. And that's fucking crazy. Like, that's crazy.
Etienne FontanYeah, it's just one of those things. I remember when I was talking back in 2010 when I originally came to Barcelona and so many original coffee shop owners were telling me that, yeah, they, the, you know, the police would come and hold them up until they would basically bring in the HVAC units so that they could deal with this tobacco. Yeah. You know, that was even back then.
Etienne FontanAnd literally, the guy said, yeah, we had to sit there with the cops pointing guns at us until the HVAC people showed up. And then they had to pay those prices, which back then were, you know, 28, 30,000 euros for, you know, these types of air scrappers, which... You know, you're forced to either have or you, you know, you're out of business. So, yeah, that's kind of the compromise where the Barcelona is like, OK, you can have the shops, but you better at least have the clean air.
Etienne FontanYeah.
BubblemanAnd not just the clean air. The other the major compromise that I saw and I started going there and around 04 was
BubblemanNot hanging out in front of the shops, which they are extremely strict to this day because they know that is the thing that will get them busted. Having people hang out in front of the shops, like lighting joints, like talking and laughing. It's like get the fuck out of away from the front door. That's generally what I've seen in Barcelona. A lot of the shops won't even let you leave until they look out the door and see on camera that there's no one around and that it's open to leave.
BubblemanBetter safe than sorry. I always say better safe than sorry.
BubblemanOkay, there we go. It's just you and I now. There we go.
Etienne FontanI can't hear me now. Yes, I can hear you. Can you hear me now? There you can go.
BubblemanI can hear you like a radio DJ.
Etienne FontanHere it is. I'm sitting here with Stefan. Stefan is the owner of La Crema Garcia. So if you have any questions, he is... The man who really understands, you know, he's been navigating these waters here in Barcelona for definitely a while. So Marcus was asking specifically about the tobacco. He has a problem because everywhere he goes in Barcelona, there's tobacco smoke allowed and he is sensitive to the tobacco snub.
Etienne FontanSo he was asking if there were clubs specifically that were cannabis specific clubs And you said, of course, that was not the case. So he was wondering if that type of club would be successful in Barcelona, that was strictly cannabis, not tobacco.
SpeakerI think some clubs like this could have a certain success because all the extraction, all the extraction is having a lot of success. And most use it like electronic devices. Yeah, exactly. So yeah, but I think some clubs are going into that direction. Our club is a bit, it's not a specialized club. We have a neighborhood club, so usually normal people who consume cannabis daily. In Spain, usually they smoke it with tobacco, maybe 50% or 50-50.
SpeakerSo that's the tradition. I know it seems a bit weird for American people. Yeah, but still American, I guess.
BubblemanIn Canada, it's less weird.
SpeakerCan you hear me?
BubblemanSometimes only one has the... Yeah, try that again.
SpeakerJust put it all the way in.
Etienne FontanCan you hear now? Hello? Hello? No. Can you hear us? No. I can hear you.
BubblemanYeah, I can hear you. I'm asking him next to you if he can hear me.
SpeakerYeah, I can hear, but there we go.
Etienne FontanGo ahead. Okay, now I got to remember what I was going to say.
BubblemanI'm from Canada where we have Quebec. I just started talking. He pulled it out. I wasn't talking when he couldn't hear me.
Etienne FontanNo, no. The earphone isn't working well. That's why. Go ahead.
BubblemanI'm going to have to oversight him. In Quebec, on the east coast of Canada, it's all French people smoking tobacco with hash.
SpeakerThe hashish and the... You know, the Europeans really discovered cannabis through hashish. And it's a culture that's been going on since, I guess, the mid of the 19th century. And, you know, the French, the Spanish, the Italians, they all learn, you know, the cannabis culture through tobacco. And I know it seems a bit weird, but I actually like it. I don't smoke pure cigarettes. But I smoke always like a few joints a day mixed with tobacco.
SpeakerAnd I actually like the effects, you know. I know it's weird, but I think we all use our, you know, medicine and poison. And it's a sweet poison, but... It's also sacred plants. Yeah, tobacco, yeah, like Kenzie is saying, it's a sacred plant. Exactly. Thank you for joining us.
BubblemanIt's like shredded paper with nicotine liquid soaked on it. It's, you know, it's sprayed with radium 226. Like the tobacco industry, if you just look at how they care for the plants, it's not the sacred plant that we're talking about. Of course, the Jamaicans smoked cannabis with their tobacco. Indians in India, sadhus smoking chillums on the banks of the Ganges. They're all mixing the hash with tobacco.
BubblemanSo it's not that the mixing with tobacco is weird. The weirdness is the perversion of the tobacco plant with, you know, sprayed with radioactive nucleotides that not only kill the people who smoke it, but also the people who are just next to them while they're smoking it. So it becomes like more than just the like, because obviously I would always fight for your right to enjoy tobacco and then to enjoy cannabis the way you enjoy it.
BubblemanIt's just unfortunate for me because I can't enjoy it when when there's the sweet poison mixed in with it. I'm so susceptible to it. I'll turn green and start throwing up. It's crazy. If I feel like I can feel the same way from tobacco smoke as I do from too much sun, like when I get radiation poisoning like sunstroke, I feel exactly the same with tobacco. But it happens way faster.
BubblemanAnd I'm also susceptible to that. Like if I go to Jamaica and I go in the sun for like 30, 40 minutes, I'll get sunstroke for sure. And then I'll be like throwing up and just feeling sick. I don't know why tobacco has always made me feel this way, but I suspect it's because of the radium 226. Cause that's when I, when I went down the David Malmo Levine rabbit hole of the large tobacco companies and industry, he led me to this compound they were using to spray called radium 226.
BubblemanWhich when you burn turns into many, many, many things. But the two I researched were lead 210 and polonium 210. Two compounds that are both radioactive nucleotides and are created and produced in the burning of radium 226, which is sprayed on like 99% of tobacco that most people inhale radium. Thank you so much for joining us.
BubblemanAt all. The Indians in India, the sadhus, when I smoked chillums with them, that gave me a headache because they were using cigarettes, not actual tobacco, just from some field. They had the little shredded paper with this. So it's those are we just have to identify that they're very different things. And there's a higher caliber of tobacco. Thank you so much.
Etienne FontanThat sucks, man. I mean, just to have that type of reaction because I grew up, my parents smoked cigarettes, right? Did your parents smoke cigarettes as you grew up?
BubblemanMy mom smoked them for a short period of time when I was very young. I remember being in the car and literally feeling like I was dying. I was probably three or four years old. Windows up, smoke, smokes getting ripped. But I became the most susceptible to it when I started going to concerts and stuff. It would kill me, dude. It was so shitty for me, but it is what it is.
BubblemanI like the idea of... It's too bad Barcelona ended with Spanibus because what I wanted to do on the last one was find a space that we could like rent just during this like three week period, overpay for it, you know, to the point where and use it as an experiment where let's see if a club can go for a couple weeks without the use of tobacco.
BubblemanDuring, you know, Spanibus, where there's thousands of people who will come who want to not be around tobacco.
Etienne FontanYeah, it's just, yeah, one of those realities of dealing with Spanish people.
BubblemanYeah, well, it's the same in Quebec, and it was the same in Atlas, and I never thought they would stop smoking in Amsterdam, ever. They used to smoke in the breakfast places, just chuffing cigarettes, and when they just decided you couldn't smoke in Amsterdam anymore... I was like, okay, we'll see how this goes. And it went, the ducks smoked like motherfuckers. They were, they were smoking like crazy.
BubblemanIt's not impossible to get rid of.
Etienne FontanSo, so what are you doing in Colorado?
BubblemanI am here for a week to, you know, build, help build the brand, sit and have business meetings with my partners, go to the hash labs and make some hash for a couple of days. I've got a course that I'm teaching at low temp using their mini osprey and their rosin presses. So that's like a 20 person course or something that we're going to be doing for the Saturday.
BubblemanAnd then the next day I have a hash church. A week from today, one more Hash Church here at the Reserve, and then back home to fucking just lots of trips lately, man. Gotta make all these different places. Are you going to Mary Jane? I'm not sure if I will. That's in June, right?
SpeakerMid-June.
BubblemanYeah, no, I don't know. I've got to be in Chicago in June with my partner's Redemption Botanicals. Shout out to Dread Smokes Weed and Marshall. And I have to be back here in Colorado.
SpeakerWe've been here since legalization.
BubblemanOh, yeah.
SpeakerYeah, I have been there since.
BubblemanOh, yeah. Yeah, that was great. It was amazing. It's listen, we went we went to ICBC right after it legalized like a couple of weeks or whatever it was. And. I remember just being like, there's no grow tents left in the country. Like nobody has a grow tent. I was like, what? I was like, that's insane. Like how many fucking grow? People were like scrambling to try and get containers of grow tents into Germany.
BubblemanIt was wild. The excitement, right? You know, the private club was maxed out of, I don't know what it was, like a thousand members or 500 members or 200 members, whatever it was, it was something. And, you know, it doesn't take long before people look at the rules and regulations and figure out ways to, you know, get more out of it than the people who wrote them thought they would.
BubblemanSo, yeah. I'm sure Germany will be of no different in that sense.
Etienne FontanWell, the German markets, it's maturing quick because, I mean, the Germans are very educated cannabis consumers, or at least they've relied on the Dutch, right? Because the Dutch who were having such problems and a lot of the problems I've heard were the Germans, right? They're coming across the border, clogging up the little, especially at the border towns. Those were a big problem, you know? So, I mean, for myself, when I got wounded and when I went through Ansbach, Germany, that's where I first scored my hash was in Ansbach, Germany.
Etienne FontanYou know, Southern Germany in a bar, you know, just that's, that's what started me on my journey in 1991. So, you know, you couldn't find flour, as I stated before, you know, back then it was only hashish and it was usually, you know, mixed with wax and stuff like that. I didn't have access to good quality. So I would learn over time that majority of it was usually mixed with a very low quality wax.
Etienne Fontanand uh so it would look like it was running but that's because of the wax not because of the ash so yeah um i would anticipate now i mean because didn't wasn't there just an icbc last month or something like that yeah yeah they had one in berlin i was supposed to go i ended up not going and staying i went to boston actually knee can instead which was awesome i'm really glad i went there and
BubblemanI just like seeing the different kind of things that are going on in the, in the industry, especially here down in the US where I'm, you know, spending a lot more time with the brand and kind of trying to do more business down here. So just got back from Michigan. It's awesome. Michigan was amazing. Yeah, really good people. Like, you know, they got, they got bad taxes and they got like things they got to fight and figure out, but yeah.
BubblemanThey're a tenacious lot. I thought it was pretty good the way they had their shit set up and not everything, of course, big tax. I think they got like a new 24% tax. I think what Ryan explained to me was they're responsible for fixing all the roads in Michigan, the cannabis business. They took the entire tax, put it right on the shoulders of the cannabis industry. I could be wrong.
BubblemanI'm not an expert on this, but this is what my hash maker was telling me in Michigan if I understood him correctly. That this 24% tax on cannabis is because it's 100% on the cannabis industry to fix like the roads in Michigan. So I thought that was pretty fucking insane.
Etienne FontanWe got to do something with that tax money, but at the same time, it sounds like taking 100% of that, yeah, seems like some other mismanagement within the states, but, you know, that happens, you know. But yeah, you know, Michigan was started off so strong and that 24% tax just made no sense to us. You know, they were, you know, really, really solid. Probably we're leading the country in the market.
Etienne FontanAnd to see that type of thing really kind of screech things is disappointing. But I do believe they still lead the market.
BubblemanI do believe they still lead the market, but it's because of places like Ohio that like the out of state buyers from Ohio. Well, it was like in the early 2000s. If you remember Switzerland, Small Town Basel. How many shops were there selling those aromatherapy eights and quarters, right?
Etienne FontanAnd the pillows, right?
BubblemanThe pillows, yeah, the aromatherapy pillows. Kids from Germany and France would come into Basel and get their weed and then, you know, take the train back. What's up, buddy? You're on Hash Church, dude.
Etienne FontanThat's Leo. Hello, Leo. Leo is the mascot here. Leo is Stefan's... Stefan's was basically, Stefan owns the place, but Leo runs the place.
SpeakerCool. Have you ever stopped to invite Bugs Brown? Do you know Bugs Brown? Bugs Brown? Yeah. He's a comic artist. Yeah, exactly. Comic artist. And he's been doing a project called the Legalization Nation. And he's basically doing, it's a journalist work that he's doing about cannabis. And it's a really incredible work.
BubblemanWell, I'm down to have him on and talk to him about his work.
SpeakerYeah, he's incredible.
Etienne FontanYeah, he's a really down to earth guy. I met him here last year, Brian Box Brown.
SpeakerHe does, if you check him out, he does a weekly comic on... Every week he's doing like a page about the legalization process in the States. And it's incredible.
Etienne FontanYeah, so he talks about using his cartoons basically to tell everybody politically what's happening. And it's a really great connector because it's giving, you know, a visual to very difficult, complex situations. And because he does comics, he can do them over time. And so he can educate people and give them the full scope of what's happening, what isn't happening. So highly recommend him. He's a really down to earth, cool guy.
Etienne FontanAnd his art as well as his politics on it are really on point. He really does his research. He really knows what he's doing. And he has a great, you know, he has his own unique touch, which is growing up as a cartoon artist myself, that's something that's not easy to do is to You know, cut your own niche in, you know, art, much less find a voice alongside of it.
Etienne FontanSo to combine the two, like he has done, seems to be a representative of the education of the cannabis consumer about the laws that are happening around them, because unfortunately, the cannabis consumer is not educating themselves or to a lot of the organizations not access to the peoples to have To educate them about the initial issues, et cetera. That's why when I'm always on, I'm telling people, hey, you know, find an organization that you believe in, plug in, get active, get involved, because these all start as little regional areas and actions, you know.
Etienne FontanThe club here, as you stated, is a neighborhood club, so he caters to his neighbors. I see a woman here who has her dog. We met him the other day walking down the street. And so, you know, it's... Thank you so much for joining us.
Etienne FontanI'm so excited to be here. I'm so excited to be here. I'm so excited to be here. I'm so excited to be here. I'm so excited to be here.
Etienne FontanYou can't see but right now let's see at the end here uh there's a guy playing guitar that's why i'm on noise cancelling etc so we've got live music going on here on top of you know very many people uh you know coming in here picking up either flower or hash or rosin and then you know going about their Thank you for joining us.
Etienne FontanAnd so they'll roll their joints to whichever. And then, you know, and then they go on their way. So, you know, the majority of people I see come in, hang out, but there's definitely a large percentage that also come in. And then when they get their stuff, they roll it up because they're, you know, there's free papers and all that sort of stuff for people to hang out in.
Etienne FontanAnd, you know, that social atmosphere, right? You know, you saw that early on in Vancouver and how important it is to, Thank you so much for joining us.
Etienne FontanYou know, those are important status that we realized early on from patients group because the police were running away. Prostitutes and the prostitutes were, you know, running around and pimps, et cetera. And by being around, we were very fortunate to You know, wow. Look at that little scrunched up face there.
SpeakerSpeaking of prostitutes. What's going down? Yeah, I know.
Etienne FontanAdam.
SpeakerWaiting for my call. I was waiting for my call. I was like, oh, there it is. There it is. What's happening? What's up, Adam? What's up, buddy?
BubblemanIt says in Barcelona. Nice. I'm at Kyle's.
SpeakerI know, I know. I've been watching. I was like trying to get in touch with you guys. Like, damn, let me in there. I'll take over the show. I'll give you a break.
BubblemanFuck, yeah. So you're in the grow.
SpeakerYeah, I just came down. I was like, I got internet down here finally because of Starlink so I can do shit, you know? Because before I'd always be like, have to run back up, do all the calls, do anything like that, run back down, you know? So now I'm... I'm all wired up. I'm in the veg realm. Starling's crazy. I know. I'm in what should have been a flower room for a long time ago, but I decided just to...
SpeakerThis is the time of year everybody wants clones, everybody's hitting you up, and if you go, oh, fuck, I just put everything in the flower, you know what I mean? It's like always the kind of... Because keeping moms is not easy these days, as we know on Mother's Day, but moms tend to get... The problems in the grow, not at home, but in the grow, they can be a problem because they're hanging around too long.
SpeakerYou know, they're vectors for whatever problems you might have. You always have fresh, you know, when you take them off fresh, nice, healthy plants, they're always way nicer than when they're off some woody old mom that's like been around the block, you know?
BubblemanJesus, crazy.
SpeakerI got these, these beasts, look at how they, look how, I mean, these things are out of control already. What varietals are those there, Dan? This is cheese right here. This is the old Exodus cheese. Classic. The Exodus. I mean, this is still in veg, guys. Inside. Ridiculous. I'm out of control over here. This is a Trinity times Chem D that I made, cross that I made.
SpeakerIt's really nice. And Trinity is like one of my favorite outdoor plants too. So these are all things that are potential. Some of them are potential outdoors. Some of them are indoors. This is Petrel Station here.
BubblemanAh, the Petrel Station.
SpeakerChem D, Chem Deli Chem, I-95, that one is. Here, this is given to me as a skunk number one from bike, so I don't know, you know what I mean? With bike, you never know 100%, but this is, whatever it is, it's vigorous as fuck, I'll have to say, you know?
BubblemanReally?
SpeakerYeah, this is like the, this is in a three by three here.
BubblemanFuck yeah.
SpeakerBut yeah, everything, like I say, a little out of control over here. I'll take you guys over to the flower room if you want to go see some flowers. That's always...
BubblemanI think it's nice to look at flowers once you've seen some veg plants. Look, flowers look nice. Flowers are always nice. Are you still snacking over there? Uh-huh. Jesus Christ.
SpeakerHere you go, Marcus. There's the toys. You got to have your toys always around, you know, that's the most important part.
BubblemanIs that a KTM? Yeah. It's the best. I drive a KTM.
SpeakerOkay, so here's some flowers. Oh, some flowers. This is that Trinity. This is the mom to that other cross there. This is the Trinity here. You should spotlight him, Marcus.
BubblemanYeah, I will spotlight him. I thought he was spotlighted. Where did he go? Oh. There he is. Here I am. Pin, there we go. You're pinned.
SpeakerAll right, nice. So this is the Trinity. It's like week seven right now.
SpeakerWe got some East Coast Sour Diesel up here.
SpeakerNot sure how the frame is. I'm kind of out of frame, but we got some Daily Grapes over here from Kyle. I got from Kyle. It's my first run of that one. I haven't seen that one before. Let's see.
SpeakerWe got the pink Z back here.
BubblemanI mean, it looks nice and healthy.
SpeakerYeah. So pink Z. We got Super Booth up here. Oh.
SpeakerAnd I got my hand all the way up to the seal, as high as I can go right now, so you can see kind of involved. And they're off the ground about a foot and a half, so they're big. Black maple. So we got black maple here. We got strawberries and cream over here.
SpeakerHere's my oldest plant right here. This is the, here's the, the original bubble gum, the cut that I got back from my friend, Bucky, who got it from me in Amsterdam and brought it back to America and held on to it. Oh, the Indiana bubble gum? No. I'm joking. I'm joking. Oh, that's how it happened. But no, that's the original cut, which is amazing because when I got it back, I was like, I can't believe I got the original fucking, like the original thing I ever did, you know, over there as far as that.
SpeakerNot the first plant. First plant I grew was from homegrown fantasies from some seeds that came in their weed, like literally like seeded weed at a coffee shop. So I was like, I'm going to grow this bitch, you know.
SpeakerWe got Take Lemonade here. Oh, yeah. We got, you can see I'm like one of those guys is everything. One plant of each. There's not like, you know, there's no, there's just enough for me every time. Some sour. This is sour. Yeah, pretty much. This is sour. Original sour. And then we got Talimon that I got also from Kyle.
BubblemanI like that Talimon. Talimon. And then we got Cap Junkie.
SpeakerThis is Cap Junkie here.
SpeakerThat's what's up. This is smelling beautiful right now. I have to say. Hell yeah. This is Sour Slice I got from Kyle also. I like this one a lot, smell-wise. This one, that one I'm interested in too. Sour Slice. Sour Slice. Now here's something, Kyle, that I have. We have the classic whenever you're growing out something. As it's going, you're like, wait a minute. That can't be what, no, no.
SpeakerWhat is it now? Great Mysteries of the Universe again. Because what I was wondering, now, Kyle, you're on the line, right? So the Miracle Mints, apparently when I was looking it all up, I'm like, wait, but Miracle Mints is Cap Junkie, right? So I have Cap Junkie and I have Miracle Mints. So I don't have something. What of them I don't have? What is it?
SpeakerDo we know?
SpeakerBecause this is Cap Junkie, which looks like Cap Junkie. And this is supposed to be Miracle Mints, but it smells like Super Boof, and it isn't Super Boof, because Super Boof is over there. So I'm having one of those moments in my room.
SpeakerAny ideas?
BubblemanHe's doing the research now. I'm booking right now. Okay.
SpeakerAnd then I got, okay, so then this is Lambo. Remember the old Lambo? Of course. So this is, look at this fucking monstrosity right here. Some footballs. Yeah, beefy. Real beefy. Some footballs there. And then we got Astro Chimp over here. Yeah, that one's a good one actually. I got that from bike and it finishes pretty early outside. And then another East Coast Sour Diesel, and I think that's all we got.
SpeakerBut pretty... Are you going to Keith Sour too, Adam? Or is it just the ECSD right now? Yeah, this is the Keith Sour back here. The tallest one in the room. Scott just came into the room. Yeah, that Keith Sour is super, super fire. Your ECSD is just different. Well, yeah, I like this. I like how it's stacking, though, the East Coast Sour Diesel. I liked a lot how it's stacking.
SpeakerOh, yeah, I know. And there's not, I'm running into yo-yos now. I'm like, but anyway. And this is all on the Sunscape. I'm using the Sunscapes, which are, you know, we got the adjustable spectrum on them and shit. So it's a very nice, this is like kind of, this is like my R&D room, basically. Whenever I try something new, I put it in here. It's the R&D zone.
SpeakerNice. That looks good. There you go.
BubblemanMaybe I'll smoke some of the resin in the near future with you.
SpeakerI hope so. I think I was just thinking about timing wise and I'm like, wait a minute. I think we're going to be good for DGC. We'll have definitely something fresh coming off of there.
BubblemanAwesome. Well, I want to welcome Scott into the room. Scott just popped in from low temp.
SpeakerHow's it going, dude? Hey, how's it going, guys? Thank you very much for having me.
BubblemanYeah, dude, absolutely. We're just chilling out. Adam's showing us his little R&D room that wasn't so little. It was actually pretty awesome. Fucking all individual plants. I don't know how much he caught of that.
SpeakerYeah, that's a hell of an R&D room. It looks very good in there. I'm jealous. Thanks.
BubblemanYeah, absolutely. So, yeah, I bumped into Scott in Boston, right? Knee can. Yes, sir.
SpeakerPissa, getting the car.
BubblemanYep, yep. That was awesome. How was the rest of the show for you guys? You guys enjoy those jars?
SpeakerOh, yeah, for sure. Thank you very much. Actually, I've got one of them downstairs. I just took a dab a minute ago. I appreciate you. But the show went well. That was my first time doing a show out in Boston, so that was interesting. Boston's a cool place. Got a little bit of time to run around the town and see everything, and it was cool. It was a good show.
SpeakerWe got in and out, and it worked well.
BubblemanYeah, I thought kind of the same thing, you know, it was like just tons of good people, different people, you know, the odds person that I would know, but there was just so many people that I didn't know that it was, it was pretty nice. I had it already. I had it already. Yeah, for sure.
SpeakerYeah.
BubblemanYeah, so I guess you, yeah, I mentioned a little bit about the class that we're doing the collaboration with, Low Temp and Bubble Man, earlier, but I kind of was like, I won't, you know, mention too, too much about it, because Scott's going to come in and we're going to talk a bit about it together. So yeah, if you want to maybe... Maybe you guys, you could explain to the audience like what it's been in the past and the ones that you've had in the past leading into what we're going to do together.
BubblemanAnd then I can speak a little bit about what my plan is.
SpeakerYeah, for sure. So we've done this a couple of times before, I think only twice so far in Colorado. We've we've traveled sometimes years ago. We did some classes in Oklahoma and different places around the country. But this is our third one that we get to host at HQ, which is really cool. We built our showroom for this purpose just to have All of our equipment hooked up the way that we want it hooked up, you know, have everything set up as best we possibly can and then invite everybody to come in to see how we did it and have some of the world's best hash makers, yourself included, come and teach us how they use our equipment.
SpeakerSo we've done this previously in Colorado with Nicotee and with Real Cannabis Crist. Both of those classes went really well. It is great to have everybody come and Thank you very much. And I'll see you on Saturday.
BubblemanAbsolutely. I'm super excited about it as well. I think it's going to be fucking awesome. I'm putting a little more attention into it. I've been busy, but I made a couple more posts. And your video that you filmed in Spain was great. That was the sort of breakthrough video to let everyone know. And yeah, I think it's going to be really good. I want to... I want to start with a history of water extraction, you know, and really from my mouth to their ears, give a really nice concise, my perspective of my experience of what the history of water extraction is and all the people who play a part in it.
BubblemanAnd I don't think, you know, those names will come as any big surprise to anyone that's in there. And then I also want to, you know, I thought I had lost it, but I had this sort of PDF with 45 really great macro images from when I early in my macro career around 2008, 2009. I wanted to learn more about the trichome and the sort of macro world of cannabis.
BubblemanAnd it was, I was learning to, you know, trichome and systolic hair and certain things from university papers on mint and other plants that secrete essential oils in these, in these glandular trichomes. But I felt like if I could spend more time with them closer up, I would learn what they are by even just learning more specifically what they look like. And so I have 45 images that go through a seedling to, you know, the seedling cracking out the bitumen, which is the membrane that like releases the embryo, the caudaladon, the epicodal, the first macro trichome, bulbous trichomes that are on the epicodal.
BubblemanThank you so much for joining us.
BubblemanIt's an interesting thing, of course, because I've been thinking a lot about this and it's like, are you showing these guys how to make the best of the best of the best of the best? Are you showing them how to make the best of the best of the best, but also making sure you show them what they do with the rest of their material? So you have this very unique world of a high end hash world where they really care about one thing and one thing only, which is that first 90 micron wash, you know, unpressed six star, you know, which is great.
BubblemanI can show people how to do that all day long. But I also like the idea of showing people how to create a company that can maintain economic viability and allow one Thank you so much for joining us.
BubblemanWho want to do things at this highest, highest, highest level. And some of them don't understand when you actually get into the business aspect of it, that there's going to be more to it than just producing 90 micron first wash, you know, six star bubble hash or or rosin. So I kind of want to make sure the course Thank you so much for joining us.
BubblemanSo, you know, it's a delicate situation. I've noticed, and I've spent the last few years designing hash products, creating hash products that
BubblemanAre not in that 70%, 12% terpene, you know, 70% THCA. Of course we have those products. I mean, I have these products right here in front of me from Michigan that were absolutely, you know, super high quality, as good as anything, anywhere I've smoked. But we also like to have the hash hits. We were doing the pure hash joints. You know, those are around 35% THC. They're not rosin or full melt.
BubblemanThey're a beautiful full experience. In fact, I hope to make some and bring them to the course so that we can smoke some of these pure hash joints with the people that come to it. Bottom line, we're going to have a great time. I'm excited for it. And I'm honored that you guys asked me. It's great that I can come to Colorado. And it's great that our, you know, The two of us, Bowman and Low Temp can sort of engage together in a way that, I mean, you guys hold this place down, right?
BubblemanThis is your house. I'm visiting. I'm just trying to be respectful.
SpeakerHey, we're, we're very happy to have you too. And like, kind of to that end about which, which direction to steer the class. That's like, that's the best thing about having something in person, you know, being able to take questions, listen to everybody. Cause you're going to have, you're going to have home growers. You're going to have business owners. You're going to have aspiring hash makers. You're going to have all kinds of people in this class and they're all going to have different questions and they're all going to want to know, What do you do with this product?
SpeakerWhat do you do with that product? How do I cure this? How do I do this? There's going to be a million different things. And that's the best way to do it is in person, sitting there with a bunch of people. They can raise their hand, ask a question, and you can give everybody the information that they're looking for.
BubblemanI love that, dude. That is awesome. I should have probably thought of that perspective, but I really didn't. And that'll make things even easier for me. The more questions, the better.
SpeakerOh yeah, don't worry. All of our attendees always have a lot of questions. Nobody is shy. When they're sitting in the room, they're ready to ask away. It usually keeps things flowing pretty well. But yeah, we're super excited to have you. We're super excited to have you working with the Mini Osprey. Being able to do a live wash for everybody will be very cool. Getting to do some pressing will be very cool.
SpeakerI'm not 100% sure, but I think we are going to be strain specific across that. So we're going to be able to wash the same strain that we're going to be pressing later, which is pretty cool. Get to try some fresh dabs of some of the same cultivar. But yeah, we're getting everything lined up. We're excited to have you and excited for everybody else who's coming out for it.
BubblemanAwesome. Yeah. And I, I plan on spending a couple of days prior to the event, uh, washing in my own lab here, um, with the mini Osprey as well. So I'll get really quite well acquainted with it. I saw it the other day at, uh, uh, Scott's place from Puffco. He's got a beautiful little unit with the new lid and he was just, you know, bragging about his unit.
BubblemanI was like, dude, this is nice. This is a nice little unit well-priced. So I look forward to, uh, Yeah, I look forward to the whole thing, dude. Just spend some time with some bubble ambassadors, you know, some people that are really have an intent on taking it to the next level. And hopefully, well, I guarantee we'll give them everything they came to get. For sure. Delivered.
SpeakerI actually just saw a question pop up on my app here, and it said, when is the class? The class is going to be May 16th, which I think is next Saturday, I'm pretty sure. And we're running from 8 a.m. to 5 or 6 p.m. somewhere in there, lunch provided. It's going to be a lot of fun. We're going to smoke a lot of hash, hopefully learn some good stuff, and have a real nice day.
BubblemanYeah, it's going to be a great experience. There's no doubt about it. I'm very excited about it. I was I haven't got to the point where I, you know, slowly but surely, as I come back to the US, it's like I just I just I'm like, please, just please don't tell me I can't come in this trip because I came in through Windsor and I took the tunnel bus under the fucking water and And that's where I cleared customs.
BubblemanAnd I called my lawyer. I was like, hey, what's it going to be like clearing customs in Windsor? And he's like, I don't know. I'm from Bellingham. Like, let me know kind of thing. I was like, oh, shit. So it was great. It was a very good experience in the sense that I'm definitely I just I'm so grateful that I have this waiver and that I'm allowed to come down and I'm allowed to be in the U.S. that I am not messing with it in any way, shape or form.
BubblemanI'm just absolutely stoked when they let me in. And this time when I came in, they were asking me questions. He's like, oh, you got, I see you had some like trouble with marijuana. And I was like, yeah. He's like, what'd you get caught with a couple of joints?
SpeakerI'm like, eh.
BubblemanHe's like, oh, a couple of ounces.
SpeakerI'm like, eh.
BubblemanHe's like, oh, a couple of pounds.
SpeakerAnd I'm like, eh.
BubblemanHe's like, how much did you get caught with? I'm like, oh, you know, it was some kilos. I think I said a couple of kilos. And it was, you know, it was a couple of kilos, a little bit more, but it was kilos. And he was like, okay, well, I don't really remember exactly what he said, but it was something like, okay, well, you know, you're doing, you're doing good now.
BubblemanYou got the permission and the waiver. So, you know, here you go. He gives me my passport and my papers, like, have a good day. And I'm just like, Dude, you can't imagine for 30 years that I just could not go across the border. And for five of those 30 years, I tried. And they just were like, it was like they were not going to let me into the States.
BubblemanSo the fact that I can come now, I'm pretty darn stoked. And the fact that we can come and just have a fun class and a fun afternoon. Eat some food and make some dabs. I'm absolutely stoked on Colorado, really. I could see why you moved here, Adam. No, I never thought in a million years Adam would leave Amsterdam. Like, honestly, he was kind of like, I just knew, I only knew Amsterdam with Adam in it.
BubblemanI didn't really know.
SpeakerWhen your name is Adam and you're walking around and everything says Adam on it, you're like, this is my fucking town right here. I was like, I can't leave here. There's nowhere to go.
BubblemanIt's so true. A-Dam. A-Dam. Everywhere. Triple X. Triple X A-Dam.
SpeakerThat was my whole thing. But in general, I'm glad I did leave because now I look and I'm like, ooh, it is going backwards for sure in many, many ways, you know?
BubblemanWell, living in an apartment in Amsterdam cannot be compared to living on a farm in Colorado. I think that you could, in the least, acknowledge that. Probably a better place for your son to grow up, you know? Definitely, definitely.
SpeakerBecause the thing is like Doug's kid is, you know, he speaks with a very heavy Dutch accent and he can't help it. You know what I mean? He was raised there. It's just the way it is. Even if he's an American dad, he's surrounded by kids. He's not going to start sounding like me. You know what I mean? So it's kind of funny to watch. Like you got your own kid or...
SpeakerThat complete Dutch accent. Yes, you know how that is, huh? Yes, very much the Dutchies, huh? Oh, very good, very good. Sugary powdery crystal, yeah?
BubblemanThat is fucking awesome. That's so good, dude. Oh, I'm also, I don't know if we've managed to figure this out, but we're probably going to try and have a little gathering for Hash Church the next day after this low temp course. I think Kenzie and Kyle had an email. They're figuring it out. I don't know exactly what to announce, but I know I'm going to be here next Sunday at 10 a.m. till 2 p.m. to do Hash Church.
BubblemanAnd I think Kyle was going to do a small ticketed event. So if there's an event, it will put tickets up eventually somewhere and maybe we'll see some people.
SpeakerYeah. Awesome.
BubblemanThere you go. Just try to extend the fun.
SpeakerJust try to extend the fun, you know? Might as well. If everybody's in town for the weekend for a class, you know, give everybody a place to gather on Sunday. Why not?
BubblemanYeah, exactly. Oh, good. I am recording. I'm so happy. I had a bit of a rough start on Hash Church today. I'm not going to lie. On the laptop, I usually have a bigger screen and I'm able to like move boxes around and the laptop was like trying to fit all these boxes in and I feel like I managed to do it, so I'm not too worried.
BubblemanAnd chain-smoking bowls since 7 a.m. is always helpful, you know?
SpeakerFor sure, yeah. Well, dude, you're a killer with this stuff. That video that we filmed in Boston, I couldn't believe how quickly you just knocked it out in one take and we're ready to go. I have never had a video that's been easier to film. Thank you for that.
BubblemanWell, you know what? Otherwise, we're making it a lot harder on ourselves, dude. Now, I always had to film my own videos. I never had a videographer or an editor or anything like that. I just did everything myself. And I have 1,200 videos, maybe 1,300 now, 1,300 on YouTube. Which are like, some of them are heavily edited with music and like, you know, cuts to macro photography, cuts to drone footage, cuts to POV, GoPro footage, you know, snowboarding and skiing and wake skating and electric skateboarding and just like so much shit on my...
Bubblemanon my channel that i had to kind of learn how to do and i don't pretend to say i ever learned it great my videos aren't spectacular they don't like grab you by the by the balls or anything but i did learn a little bit on how to Film it properly the first time so you don't have to go back and do this work that if you're not that good at it, it doesn't look good.
BubblemanIf you're good at it, that's fine, but it takes fucking time either way. So I thought I would do you and me a favor and just try to knock it out of the park so we didn't have to fucking do any work other than like cut the top and the back end off and it's a video.
SpeakerYeah, for sure. Well, it was, it was great. You made it very, very easy for me. I appreciate it.
SpeakerIf anybody's got any other questions about the class, feel free to fire them off. I'm happy to answer questions. I've got a pretty good idea of what we've got going on, but I don't know everything, but I'm happy to try. Are you in the chat? Are you reading the YouTube chat as well? I'm trying to. I'm bouncing my attention between listening to you and trying to read it.
BubblemanYeah, so that's what I got to do, except I also monitor the entire room, talk privately to everyone on the panel. It's just like, oh my God.
SpeakerYeah, it's a lot going on for a live stream, you know. I'm not used to this, but hopefully I can fight my way through it a little bit.
BubblemanYeah, well, you're doing great, man. I appreciate you coming on and helping us.
BubblemanI got you.
BubblemanOh, there we go. Dred says he needs a gramming machine. So I said, I got you, Dred. I got you, man. We can definitely help with that. Yeah. Yep, yep, you can. You guys do that. That's something you guys offer as a service. What a great service. You know, I think a lot of people in the herb industry have not really understood the value of machines that pay off ROI, right?
BubblemanLike getting your value back on your machine. I know we've had a problem explaining it to people in the past with the fact that like, You know, it's not to replace workers. It's just to be more efficient. So you need less workers. So those workers can be doing other things. You know, there's lots of other things in facilities that people can be doing. And if they're both doing, you know, the same thing like washing resin off of a plant and pressing it, figure out a way to get one person to do it.
BubblemanNow that other person's like 50, 60 grand a year doing something of higher value. Yeah. I'm all about creating value. I'm all about creating canvas companies that can maintain their existence and not go bankrupt. That to me is pretty important.
SpeakerFor sure. I mean, that's the name of the game for us is just making your lab as efficient as it can be. And that means, you know, less people, less hours, same quality and just trying to make everything work. And I think the grammar helps a lot with that. I've seen a lot of conversation about it online lately. And the main point that I think most people are missing on is just the like anti-contamination approach.
Speakerfactor that it brings to the table you know by completely eliminating the need for somebody to scoop this out of a jar put it into here weigh it put the lid on and everything you eliminate all that opportunity for skin cells or hairs or dust or anything else to fall down in there if you can punch it out of a stainless steel tube then it's it's very clean and it keeps your product cleaner than it would be any other way you know and speeds up the process makes your life a bit easier
BubblemanThat's true. I don't think people realize how charged rosin is and how much it can affect, like literally pull contamination just right out of the sky.
SpeakerYeah, for sure.
BubblemanRight out of the air, right out of the room that you're in. Just pull it off your body.
SpeakerYeah. At the end of the day, it's resin. You know, anything that touches it is going to stick to it and end up. But it's not just that.
BubblemanIt's not just that. It's also like. It's pulling like a tractor beam things out of the sky.
SpeakerI've got a video here. Crazy static behavior of rosin.
BubblemanHere, I'll show you some right now.
SpeakerYou've got it leaning around.
BubblemanCheck this out. Watch it jump towards my finger. Watch it move without me touching it. See it?
SpeakerYeah, for sure.
BubblemanSo that's statically charged rosin. Watch this one. It'll go really hard. Look at it. So think of the charge that's pulling that towards my finger. That's what it's doing to the air. When you leave that product laying around, It's like a tractor beam. It's pulling dust and debris, fucking shit off hairs and little bits of skin. It's just pulling it out of the air into the hash.
BubblemanAnd that's why you have to really pay attention and understand how statically charged this material is. And treat it as so, so that it's always covered in the room and you're not leaving it open while walking around. I go into rooms all the time and I see big chunks of rosin on a silicone and it's just open. I'm like, oh no, you got to cover that shit up, dude.
SpeakerFor sure, yeah. I've seen it a few times and your heart kind of stops and you're like, ooh, nope, you got to put that in a jar, buddy, or get some parchment over it or something. Exactly, exactly.
BubblemanSo we'll end up going over a lot of this stuff later. On the course, I think it'll be a pretty darn fun time and I'm looking forward to many more collaborations with Low Temp.
SpeakerYeah, for sure. We're excited and we're hoping we end up with a full house and everybody comes out, fills the place up, takes a bunch of dabs with us. We've got some lunch. Actually, Kenzie texted me this morning what the menu is going to be and it sounds pretty good. Oh, nice. Let's see. We got some tomato salad, fried rice, steamed veggies, flank steak with chili oil and chimichurri and brownie sundaes.
SpeakerSo we've even got the dessert covered. Oh, yeah. Sounds pretty good. Yeah, pretty good. I'm ready for lunch already.
BubblemanRight. Yeah, I'm actually I am, too. It's Kyle's birthday today here from the reserve.
SpeakerHappy birthday, Kyle. I've heard a lot about your space. I haven't been able to visit it yet, but I need to make my way over there.
BubblemanLook at this fucking space, dude.
SpeakerYeah, for sure. Alex was telling me about it the other day. Skully Vibes, I'm sure you guys know Skully. We love Skully here. He rents some space for me in this building here where I've got my studio on the first floor, so... He was telling me all about it and he was very, very excited about it after he got to visit for the first time.
BubblemanSo I'm excited. He did a hash church with us as well where he painted, drew or created his drawing the entire time the hash church was going on. And then at the end, he created a custom hash church poster out of the drawing and he's selling them for 20 bucks or whatever signed. It's pretty cool.
SpeakerOh, I know. I told him immediately to sign me up for one of those.
BubblemanOh yeah, you did, ATN. Oh nice, Scott. Yeah, I'm going to be getting one as well, absolutely, because that's just fucking awesome.
SpeakerYeah, they're so cool. I'm blessed to have a bunch of his artwork all over this space. He kind of fills in all the blanks on the walls and whatnot. It's great.
BubblemanWell, Adam has put an enormous amount of art at this place, including just a monster dyer. How was that? Like 16 feet wide or something? Yeah. 16 by 8 feet. Yeah, it's a really incredible piece that's downstairs. There's tons of incredible pieces all over, to be honest, but that one's shockingly incredible.
SpeakerYeah, I think I saw a picture of it.
Etienne FontanScott, out of curiosity, is that a Ralph Steadman behind you? What is that?
SpeakerYes, it is one of his posters. It's the Hunter S. Thompson.
Etienne FontanVery distinct.
SpeakerYeah, pretty cool, right? I think that's actually from my friend, Brad, who owns Rip Tip. And he's also based out of this office. And he put that one up. Pretty cool.
BubblemanVery awesome. Very awesome. Well, we've been going since 10, 11, 12. Probably go to one. I've got another half an hour.
SpeakerTake us on the tour. I showed all those pictures. I can take you.
BubblemanOh, hi.
BubblemanOkay, I'll go down the downstairs too.
SpeakerWhy is this blinking?
BubblemanWell, that was me. And I was paying such careful attention.
Etienne FontanAll right, so there's the piano.
SpeakerOh, nice.
BubblemanThere's a little grand piano, baby grand piano up there on the mezzanine. This place looks awesome. And then I guess, I think Adam put this fucking thing up. It's like a, it looks like a, like it's a buck head, but it's all cannabis stocks.
SpeakerThose are plant, those are called plantlers.
BubblemanPlantlers. Of course they are. Of course they are. Dude, these giant fucking beanbags. I'm stealing that.
Etienne FontanPlantlers. I love it.
BubblemanLook how big these beanbags are.
Etienne FontanWell, you need to lay in it. Unless you've got a banana for scale, you have to lay in it to show us how big it is. Okay, sure.
BubblemanI can do that.
SpeakerHere's a banana.
BubblemanHere, Marcus, I'll get a view from up here. Hold on. You're saying they're awesome. Here you go. Here's it for scale. Oh, yeah. What's up?
Etienne FontanOne bubble man for scale. That's great. Yeah, that is freaky.
SpeakerThat's a big beanbag right there.
BubblemanI'm 6'2". Dude, that's a great view up there. All right, the elevator just got here. I'm going to go downstairs.
SpeakerOh, there you go. Don't walk like a commoner down the stairs.
BubblemanNo, we got to do this because it's funny. You get the dual view.
SpeakerThe glass elevator is definitely pretty cool. That's fancy. I like puffing in it. It makes it accessible, though, too, for anybody. So that's awesome. You know what I mean? Like in case you have a very cool. Oh, we got to carry you up and down the fucking stairs. Are you kidding me right now? No, that is not happening. Yeah, for sure. Have you hotboxed the thing yet?
SpeakerJust completely filled it with smoke? Yeah.
BubblemanThe first day I ever came here.
SpeakerOf course you have.
BubblemanThe day that Adam invited me here, I did it.
SpeakerOh man, look at that artwork behind you.
BubblemanLook at this guy running down the stairs.
Etienne FontanAll right, let's open this shit up.
BubblemanLet's open this shit up. Oh, we did it wrong.
SpeakerSometimes if you're overzealous. Uh-oh, you're locked in. You're stuck in the elevator. You're going to have to hotbox it now.
BubblemanI think I should be okay. I've got to do it the right way. I've had this happen the wrong way, so I've just got to do it the right way. Okay, so here's the first piece I saw. I'm in here. I'm up in front. We're going to lose this. Okay, sure. So we're in downtown Denver, basically. That's where we are.
SpeakerOh, wow. Is that, are you off Larimer or Blake?
BubblemanYes, this is Blake. This is the milk district right here. And there's the baseball stadium.
SpeakerYeah, Coors Field. Yeah. Awesome location.
BubblemanYeah, yeah, yeah. All right. We'll go back in here.
SpeakerWe'll show the art, some of the art that Adam has dropped off here. Fucking incredible.
BubblemanWow. And then over here.
SpeakerOh, the pool table. We'll have to get some games going.
BubblemanDude, absolutely, we'll get some games going. Come on Sunday for Hash Church.
SpeakerOh, you know I'll be there. Yeah.
BubblemanYeah. Yeah. I'll do some of that. And so, yeah, Kyle just has an absolutely spectacular space over here. I mean, we could do a lot of stuff. Here's another one. Adam, I'm guessing you pulled this Aaron Waight off the wall.
SpeakerThat's the original wall of my shop, my first shop in Denver. So I couldn't leave all the art behind, so I cut all the walls out and framed them all out. So that's one of the pieces from that. That's awesome. I think that was smart.
BubblemanYeah.
SpeakerOh, nice.
BubblemanAll right. Now where are we going? We've got to finish the tour with the top floor and the view. All right.
SpeakerBack up.
BubblemanPush the button. Back up we go. It's two floors this time, so we're definitely taking the elevator.
SpeakerOkay. So it's three stories of space?
BubblemanYeah.
SpeakerOkay.
BubblemanAre you going to close it properly? Yeah, dude. You are a pro. It's fucking awesome.
SpeakerNice. You even got more room in that elevator than they do in every elevator in Barcelona.
BubblemanThose aren't elevators. They're lifts.
SpeakerSure, sure. The lifts.
BubblemanNot to be. Oh, here we go. We're coming up. It's such a cool view when you come up.
SpeakerYeah, that's sweet.
BubblemanIt's the little things. It's the little things that excite us. The little things. I've never done hash church in an elevator, I'll be honest. And I've done hash church in a lot of fucking spots. This elevator has better fucking Wi-Fi coverage than the island of Jamaica.
BubblemanLike, even in a nice hotel, it's choppy. Oh, this is dark. Okay, it's just the wall. Super trippy, dude. Here we go.
SpeakerGosh, there's so much space in there. That's so cool.
BubblemanDude, I'm telling you. Just wait until we go out on the deck here. Oh man, it's a good vibe in here. So we patiently wait. Then we open. I guess I opened it just without waiting.
SpeakerIt has this little last, it does this little last, like it stops and then it goes.
BubblemanYeah, exactly. I don't, I do not wait for that.
BubblemanAll right. You guys still catching us? Are we still online here? Yeah. Yeah. Fucking downtown Denver, baby.
SpeakerThat's so cool. Yeah, I can't wait to come by. It's so cool.
BubblemanIt's like you're in the house and it feels like you're in a like a ski chalet like in Utah or something or fucking.
SpeakerBut you're in downtown Denver.
BubblemanYou're just like in last night. It was like Fast and the Furious. They were like the cars were like I can't even explain how loud they were. They were like they must have been like alcohol injected race cars or something like that. Super fucking loud. Like for sure. Illegally loud. Like there's no way that 400 decibels is a legal amount for people to. This is nice, actually, Kyle.
BubblemanWe can just do hashtags right here on your birthday.
Etienne FontanFuck, dude.
SpeakerThat's pretty gorgeous.
BubblemanThat's pretty sweet. Birthday on Mother's Day. Yeah, birthday on Mother's Day. How sweet is that?
SpeakerWhat a double... My birthday was on Father's Day this year, so it's always on a Sunday, you know? So I was born on Father's Day on June 15th, and last year was also the same deal. Anytime it's on a Sunday, I'm like, nice. So yeah.
BubblemanHow many days? So what, that takes like seven days? Or how many days does that take to go around? Like every 12 years. Every seven years?
SpeakerI don't know, every 12 years? Or 12 years? Because it's a weird combination. It doesn't happen all the time. It has to be on a Sunday and it has to be, yeah, it's weird.
BubblemanI don't know. My daughter was born on Good Friday and Friday the 13th. And that does not happen again for like 60 some odd years. Oh, wow. Yeah, her thing is not, she'll get like Friday the 13th birthdays. April 13th is her birthday, like every whatever it is, but like the cycle through the weeks. Not the other one. The other one she might get, she'll get maybe one more.
SpeakerThat's amazing.
Etienne FontanThat was so close to being a 420 baby, huh? Yeah.
BubblemanYeah, absolutely. Instead, she took the reverse of my birthday. I'm March 31st and my daughter's April 13th. And she was supposed to be due on March 31st. So she came 13 days later. The chitlins, you know. Well, I look forward to smashing some dabs here with you, Scott, here in the next week, whether we see you on Sunday or before that. We'll definitely... Make sure we get you better equipped, acquainted with the reserve here.
SpeakerYeah, for sure. I'm excited to check it out. I'll definitely be at the class running around, helping out with everything, pointing the video camera when I've got time to, you know, trying to get some cool content. But yeah, I'll definitely come by on Sunday as well. Sounds like it'll be very cool. But if anybody has... Any other questions about the class? I do got to hop off of here soon, so feel free to fire them off.
SpeakerTickets are still available at the link in our bio, low temp dot industries on Instagram. You can check it out. We'd love for you to join us. I think it's going to be a great time.
BubblemanYeah, we're going to have fun no matter what. That's for sure. It's no doubtful. And we'll have some nice resins to smoke. I'll try to have some of my Bubble Man brand representing from Colorado. I'll try to get some melt from my partner Dan, and we'll get some brick hash, and we'll get some live hash rosin. So we have a few... Just a few things to try as well.
BubblemanCause like, you know, the course here, I am kind of explaining the course in a state where I operate my brand now. So it's kind of a neat way to be like on here, like what I was talking about earlier, here it is in the form of SKUs. And so.
SpeakerThat's super cool. And I know everybody will be very thankful.
BubblemanAbsolutely.
SpeakerThere'll be plenty of other local Colorado hash around, I'm sure.
BubblemanOh, there always is. You guys have a very mature hash market here. I appreciate it. Even with melt. You know, I was at Scott's the other day from low temp and he pulled out the purple melt. It was beautiful. Like melted away to almost nothing. Solid six star. And it was purple, you know, like completely purple hash. Don't see the purple melts. Yeah, you don't see the purple melts every day.
BubblemanSo I was appreciative of that. For sure.
SpeakerYou definitely don't see them in six star quality that that commonly either. That's pretty cool.
BubblemanNo, exactly. Six stars. So, so rare. It's, it's just, I feel like Rosen and BHO, Have made it easy to not continue to search for full melt bubble. You know, like BHO did it first because people would hit me up and say, hey, how do I get my hash to melt like yours? And then I'd be like, oh my God, dude, it's not actually that easy.
Etienne FontanLike it's a whole thing. It's a deep thing. Like you're not going to be stoked.
BubblemanAnd so a lot of those people were just like, well, we'll just blast. And then when Rosin came along, it kind of changed it, took away that sort of danger aspect of people blowing up because they were blowing up. And then suddenly it was like there was a new home for Mediocre Hash to go to. And I say that with all due respect because I love rosin.
BubblemanI've smoked some incredible rosin and I know some of the best rosin I've smoked have not always come from a six-star bubble. Very few people press six-star into rosin. It's almost like you gotta be crazy to do it. But it does happen and I've definitely experienced it. So yeah, I love it. I appreciate it. I think it's amazing that people can make a dabbleable product from something that they otherwise couldn't if they were just trying to make dry sift or wet washed resin that melts into a liquid.
BubblemanBut yeah, I think that is what it is. Everyone likes different things. And there's Adam doing some dry sifting maybe.
SpeakerYeah, pretty much. It's clean and trim and trim jail. I'm in trim jail.
BubblemanOh, you're in trim jail. And will you static sift using that stainless bowl?
SpeakerNo, I got my screens here.
BubblemanI figured. Very cool. 200s and 110s.
SpeakerWell, thank you again for having me. It was exciting to hop on here, chat with you guys. Feel free to hit me with a DM if anybody's got any other questions and whatnot. But otherwise, I'll see you guys on the 16th.
BubblemanAll right. Thanks for coming out, Scott. Appreciate you. I'll make a couple more announcements and we will see you on the 16th as well. Bright and early, dude. I'll probably be there around 7 a.m.
SpeakerAll right. I'm sure I will be too then. I'll see you. Awesome. All right. Peace, dude.
BubblemanPeace. Nice for him to come out. Nice that Etienne is in Barcelona enjoying life. It's got to be like nine or 10 o'clock there in Barcelona now, huh?
Etienne FontanYeah, it's about to be nine o'clock when the game's kicking off. El Clasico is happening. Everybody's starting to get excited.
SpeakerEverybody's starting to gather around the TV here and watch the game, so.
Etienne FontanYeah, it's pretty, pretty, people are pretty excited. Yeah, it's all good. And of course, you know, sitting here with great weed, great hash, what more could you, you know, Already went to Escriba earlier and got chocolate. So I got my chocolate fix in and now it's just a passion football and the locals yelling.
BubblemanImagine what a great vibe it'll be if their team wins and you'll just be a part of it because you're there getting all high and eating snacks.
Etienne FontanIt's a championship. So if we win, we beat Real Madrid one. It's the biggest rivalry in
Etienne FontanWe actually secure the trophy for the La Liga season tonight. So if we win, we lift the trophy. If not, we'll do it next week. But everybody wants it to be tonight. So everybody's prepared and ready. Everybody's been at the bars drinking and you know how Barcelona is when it comes to a party. They do not shy away from it.
BubblemanNo, they sure don't. They fucking love it, dude.
BubblemanThey absolutely love it. And this has got to be the nicest place I've ever done hash church from, dude. The fucking sun is just beating down on me right now. When are we going to see you, Adam?
SpeakerProbably like Tuesday or Wednesday, I'll be up in town just to kind of get some things rolling for us. All right. So no birthday appearance for Adam today? Today, no. I guess too much of a back and forth. I never get home till one in the morning and then I got a million things to do and then tomorrow.
BubblemanYeah, that's far.
SpeakerYou know how it is. It's not, I mean, it's just, it's three hours of driving, but, and so it's like, yeah, you know, three hours.
BubblemanI gotta go down towards Moffitt, so maybe I'll be near you at one point in time.
SpeakerWell, yeah, I already said to Kyle that maybe he could also swing down and say what up and come check out the farm, you know, just come check it out for real, come in 3D. You know?
BubblemanYeah, exactly.
SpeakerCome in 3D. We'll hang out for a couple hours. You can come this way, though. There is a way to go to Moffitt this way. There's both. There's two ways to go, you know? You can go this way. Yeah, I know. I knew that. Straight across. You go from the springs and you go straight across. It's kind of the perfect... I like that route too. It's a really cool one because you're kind of, you're not going through the mountains at all.
SpeakerYou're kind of going just straight across.
BubblemanSo I did the straight, I did the straight across one the last time I went there. But when I came home, we went home through the mountains and it was like snowing and fucking sketchy. Yeah. Somebody's like, he's looking at the Doppler. He's like, I think we better take this other route because it's, it doesn't look good where we were. And then we went the other route.
SpeakerYeah, it's like, it's literally a split at Ontario Junction. If you go this way.
BubblemanWhat is it, 85 or 7 or 70 or something? Exactly. Exactly. You got it. You got it. 85. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SpeakerSo cool. Yeah, I look forward to it. It'll be fun.
BubblemanHoly fuck, my computer's getting hot in the sun. I better get the fuck out of here. Mounting. I'm going to, yeah, we've got another 13 minutes that I'm going to rock church for. And then let me go celebrate Kyle's birthday with him.
Etienne FontanI think I can figure something out.
BubblemanSounds like some people are here, Ethan, maybe.
SpeakerHere's the great reveal of the screen here. So we got the screen reveal.
BubblemanOh, yeah. Screen reveal. Oh, my favorite. That's a nice piece of glass.
Etienne FontanStaticlicious. Staticlicious.
BubblemanYeah, there you go.
SpeakerHow's it going? Yeah, me too. Hello, hello. Hi there, Adam. Fucking guy. This fucking guy. This fucking guy. This fucking guy over here.
Etienne FontanThis fucking guy.
SpeakerUnbelievable. And his dog. Causing trouble.
BubblemanAs always. Just in the house. In the hizzy.
SpeakerYou don't need me here now. You got half the attention. I'm Marcus.
BubblemanI'm like 13 more minutes of streaming and I'm shutting her down and I'll visit. Ow. I need to smoke too. God damn it. Smoke something. What is this? Grape gas? Sounds like probably a good option.
SpeakerThis is where the sausage is made, right here.
BubblemanWell, I'm hoping I'm going to a championship or a playoff game here as well in Colorado with the NHL team, the Avalanche. Fingers crossed. Fingers crossed.
BubblemanOh, there we go. All right, 1248. So we got 12 minutes left. 12 minutes of live streaming and we're done.
BubblemanFor the day. For the Sunday. For the Mother's Day. Shout out to all the moms.
BubblemanAll the moms. It's a big deal, you know, birthing the entire population of the world. We're a good team. You guys birthed the world. We built it. Let's go, men and women, for the win.
SpeakerWoo-hoo!
BubblemanAll right, I think we're a pretty good team. I hope so, anyway.
Etienne FontanDid you talk to Mrs. Bubbleman and wish her a happy Mother's Day earlier?
BubblemanI did, I did. I sent her some lovely flowers. And yeah, I think she's golden.
BubblemanI think she's golden. I wish I could be there with her. My kids are going to hang out.
SpeakerI'm going to bring my mom some flowers today, which is like a bag of buds and say, get to work, mom. No, not really. But she still trims in her house. She still come up and grab some buds to go trim. So it's kind of fun. So I will make sure to bring her her bouquet.
BubblemanHappy Mother's Day to Ace from the family at Hash Church.
SpeakerFor sure. For sure.
BubblemanWoohoo.
SpeakerWow. Have you used these ones before, these Sobatens?
BubblemanHave you used these scissors, Marcus? I don't know if I've used those exact ones.
SpeakerThey're the ones with the magnets in them? Oh, no, I don't think so at all, no. So instead of a spring, it's got a magnet? They're fucking smart, dude. And they have different strengths of magnets, so if you feel like you wanted a little bit more, you could change the magnets.
Etienne FontanWho makes those, Adam?
SpeakerIt's called Sobaten. It's a Japanese company. Samurai. Brilliant. Samurai family.
BubblemanOf course it's a Japanese company.
SpeakerOf course. But they're really, really good. That's actually my favorite scissors so far.
BubblemanDude, God bless the Japanese.
SpeakerEspecially when it comes to knives. You know, you want to buy any blade or knife, it's going to be Japanese, you know?
BubblemanDude, just figuring out tempering fucking steel. Like, just think of that. That's like Skunk Man Sam back in the day, figuring out the static sift. Exactly. Exactly.
Etienne FontanYeah, there's a place in Berkeley that does heat of tools. They import the knives and scissors directly from hand-tooled Japanese makers who are basically further lineage of actual sword makers. So there's stuff across the board. That's where I get my bonsai tools and stuff like that. I have to find those with the magnets. That's fucking brilliant.
SpeakerYeah, I saw them online and I was like, and then I found them and I just looked them up and I was like, oh, I gotta have these bad boys. And then ever since I got them, I'm like, this is, this is the way right here. I was like, how do we not come up with this before? Like, duh. Because I hate, I don't like springs, but I do like the idea of a little bit of something, you know, some help along the way.
SpeakerYou know what I mean? Not complete.
Etienne FontanA little bit of resistance, right? Yeah. We've all been pinched. We've all been pinched by a spring.
SpeakerThe spring is too strong and it hurts your head. Like it gives you like right here, you'll get a little fucking thing where you're like, oh my God, I'm fighting this in both directions. This is not good. You know what I mean? Instead of it just being like smooth as, yeah. And so I'd never, so I was always a non-spring guy forever. And then this, I was like, oh, this is actually even better because it's just enough to feel like you got a little, it's like riding an electric bike compared to a normal bike.
SpeakerYou're like, this is, oh, why is this, this is so much better, dude. I was like. Can you spell the name of the company? S-O-B-O-T-E-N. I think it's an O, let me see. S-O-B-O-T-E-N. S-O-B-O-T-E-N. Megan, Japan. I think I got these on Amazon, actually. So it's like, they're not hard to get, you know?
BubblemanYeah. It's just sometimes the name is all it needs. So I put it in the chat word there. Subotan. Subotan.
SpeakerSubotan. Like verboten, but subotan.
BubblemanVerboten. It is verboten.
SpeakerVerboten.
BubblemanIt is forbidden. Yeah. Like some fucking sixth century language.
Etienne FontanForbidden seems a little serious.
BubblemanSeems a little interesting.
BubblemanOh.
BubblemanAdam is working like a trooper. He's got shit to do. People to see. Places to be. Seeds to crack. Resins to separate.
SpeakerIt's retarded. It's so rough. Doesn't matter what. Like, I can, every night and I'm finished, I'm like, I can't believe I barely scratched the surface of what I gotta do. You know what I mean? It's like, problem. Yeah. It's the sword, cash to make.
BubblemanBeautiful, perfectly cured, like, sugar trim. And it was a lot. And I had, I was like, it was only cold in the morning. So, and I don't have a tumbler. So I was sifting it over like eight foot screens, like Dave style. And literally like, you know, to make a couple of kilos, like took me like three days of like two hours a day in the morning, doing this whole setting up the table, setting up everything, like everything.
BubblemanIt was just ridiculous when I think that's just one little small job I needed to get done among like 50 other things that I need to do at any given time. Yeah. A little bit much, but we didn't do.
SpeakerAnything, anytime I do anything when it's related to weed, it's five hours minimum. Like, I put about five out. Like, if I gotta make clones, it's five hours. If I fucking go to make hash, it's five hours. Because I'm just, you get in a zone, you know what I mean? You just start doing it. Unless you, like, have to make ten clones or something. But if you have to, if you're just in that zone where you're like, I'll make as many as I can until I stop.
SpeakerFive hours. And then I look at my, oh shit, I gotta go eat some food or something. You know what I mean? It's usually that way. But you get into these little five-hour sessions, you know? It's just smart.
BubblemanYeah, you get sucked into it.
SpeakerEspecially podcasts, though. Podcasts are good for criminal jail, I have to say. And I can't listen to my own podcast, so I'll listen to Hash Church, or I'll listen to The Dude Grows, or I'll listen to anybody else's show except my own, because obviously that would be pure torture for myself. But anybody else...
BubblemanAll I listen to is my own. I listen to only my show, Hash Church, but actually I only listen to myself talking. I don't listen to anyone else. I have it all. I knew it.
SpeakerI knew it.
BubblemanIt's just me. Oh my God.
SpeakerI knew it.
Etienne FontanDeep down inside. I do the same thing. I just listen to only Marcus. Oh, fuck. That's fucking funny.
BubblemanWell, I definitely want to thank Puffco and the Press Club for sponsoring today. Appreciate you guys. Shout out to all the moms who, oh yes, yes, you're hitting your core right now. I need to plug mine in. I can't believe it made it. I only had 46% on the battery and I think I managed to smoke like 8 or 10 dabs during today's show and it didn't die.
BubblemanSo I'm going to go plug it in literally right now. But yeah, thank you guys for coming in on Mother's Day. Appreciate you, Adam. Hopefully I'll get down and do your show here this week sometime or at least come by and visit the garden. Yes. See what you got going on. Thanks for doing it. Be well, brother. Enjoy the football game. I hope you guys raised that trophy today.
BubblemanJust for your sake, I tell people all the time that don't really love organized sports. I totally get it. I spent a long time not liking it myself. But you got to ask yourself, how often are you with your friends and you all spontaneously jump out of your seat and put your arms in the air and scream, yes, there's something extremely good about that experience. So you should probably have more of it in your life than less.
BubblemanFor me, it's NHL hockey. Yeah, rollercoaster.
Etienne FontanRollercoasters are good for that too.
BubblemanYou go down, you go up. It's like a neat experience to have with people. I appreciate it. I'll be watching some playoff hockey tonight for sure. So I'll be thinking about you. Shout out to Colin and Dr. Mark, who's at his commencement there probably for his son. I think he sent me a picture with him and his son earlier. I wasn't 100% sure, but shout out to those guys.
BubblemanAnd well, may the full melt bless your bowl sooner than later, really. I think. See you guys next time. Peace. Later, guys.
Etienne FontanPeace. Good to see you, Adam. Be safe out there, y'all. Thank you. Much love. Of course.
SpeakerPeace, all. Oh, Caleb! Caleb!
