0:00BubblemanTo the cloud. All right, everybody look at that. It looks like we're live. I hope everyone's doing good today. Welcome to Hash Church. Season 12, episode 24. No, you are not confused or misunderstood. We had an episode of Hash Church taken down recently by YouTube. I think it was a misunderstanding. We weren't trying to sell anything. We weren't trying to promote anything of being sold. However, last episode, when we brought up Pre Ampava's page, Pre Ampavi, Thank you for joining us today.

We haven't really been looking for new sponsors lately, but if you have an interest in sponsoring HashChurch, please reach out to bcbubbleman at icloud.com. I can send you out the deck. We can figure it out. Yeah, so like I said at the start of the episode, a little bit of a shock to the Hash Church community.

6:13BubblemanLast week, we had a Hash Church taken down and we have never had a Hash Church taken down ever. So it gave me a bit of a heart attack. It made me a little nervous, probably going to figure out a webpage with the AI guys where I can put all the episodes of Hash Church that I currently have onto a platform that even if YouTube itself decides to remove Hash Church, I feel like it's an important enough thing that we're going to need to preserve it somewhere.

6:39BubblemanI have the episodes saved on my computer, most of them. So I'll probably start working with Bike and James to figure that out and see if we can't, you know, make sure that when people want to search hashbible.org, that even if the shows aren't on YouTube, People can still search the database and find the show and the timeline. So for me, I think that's a way we can preserve Hash Church and that's a way.

7:08BubblemanYou're funny, bingo. Oh, look at that. He's already on it, mate. I'm guessing aerial live streams is James, maybe? I don't know. I hope it is because I'm really nervous about that dude having my episode taken down for no good reason. We haven't changed anything. I'm not selling anything. We were just having a great episode and unfortunately sometimes that's the way the ball bounces. All right, I heard from Etienne, sounds like he's coming in.

7:35BubblemanDr. Mark is at 30,000 feet, so he'll be listening, but he won't be showing up. So it sounds like I sent this out all very, very late. Unfortunately, it's too bad I'm not on my way to Tahoe at CanMed right now, because my goodness, I would love to be heading down there to see both Colin and Dr. Mark. But... I just got back from Colorado. Prior to that, I was in Indiana, Illinois.

8:01BubblemanReally, I was in Illinois, but it was on the Indiana border. Ended up in Indiana a few times. Oh, no problem, James Hu. That's hilarious. I figured when you said it, the way you said it, how you said it, I kind of figured it out. Yes, Dr. Mark is very high. Knock-off set and a knock-off set flaking off the waterproofing. Yeah, you don't really want that waterproofing on there.

8:22BubblemanWe learned that years and years and years ago. Shout out to Scallywag Seed Co. You might be interested, Scallywag, in a sponsorship here on Hash Church. You know, Heritage Seed Bank was sponsoring for a while. I feel like he definitely got his money's worth in his set. You know what? That's a fucking good idea right there. Exactly. All right, good call. Give me one second here and I'm gonna try to do something.

8:50BubblemanLet me see.

9:01BubblemanAll right, we'll see where D420K is indeed.

9:07BubblemanEveryone's supposed to be driving to Tahoe. Why aren't you going Goat Head Gardens? Hopefully everything's okay with you. Indiana does not have legal weed. And that was the stress of being on the Indiana, Illinois border. Indiana does not have a legal cannabis. They don't like it. If you remember the Colton family, the Turner family, sorry, Colton's mom and dad and sister and brother, those guys ended up leaving Illinois illegally.

9:33BubblemanOr sorry, was it Indiana? Maybe it was Illinois before Illinois was legal. That's right. So they were from Illinois, I believe. They can let me know if I got that wrong. I like to try and, Roto, not Rato. Okay, Emmett Otter, I apologize. I am a Canadian and I can't change my Canadian accent. Plus, isn't that what makes it cool that I make it sounds different? You want me to say Colorado, Colorado?

9:57BubblemanIt's gotta be Colorado, man. It's up in Canada. I'm just joking. Thank you. You should see how we, what we call Oregon, Oregon. Ooh, they don't like that at all. Big love hash church. Pray you're all phenomenal. Oh, Katie. Katie was so helpful recently. Katie is of course over at the Adam Dunn podcast and she's on there all the time with them, but man, what a nice, uh, girl.

10:21BubblemanSo helpful. Um, Just was a huge help for our Terps and Tallow party that we threw at the reserves recently. She came in and just brought so many plants and brought, yeah, thank you, Dr. Mark. I thought it was Illinois. So yeah, give Katie some love. Go check her out on the Adam Dunn Show. And she is definitely a big part of our community and super helpful and awesome.

10:43BubblemanAnd I just wanted to say thank you publicly for being so helpful, Katie, because really, you brought all the plants and you brought the vibes and you just were so helpful and you never stressed out. And that's hard. I can't say that I didn't stress out myself. But the Terps and Tallow Party was indeed a success. We had a great party. We had about 60 or 70 people show up.

11:05BubblemanI'd love to share the photos. However, the photos, which is interesting, haven't populated into my photos on my computer. So I don't know if we're going to end up going through some photos later on, but we'll see. We'll see. I definitely have some great photos and video. I wanted to thank out Redemption Botanicals. I wanted to shout out Dread Smokes Weed. And Marshall and Megan, the hash maker.

11:34BubblemanIf you're watching, Megan, I'm still waiting for you to call me in regards to that traditional hash. What a great situation those guys have in Illinois representing all these incredible brands. We had the Redemption Botanicals Party and the guys from Preferred came out from Cali. We had Sam from Mile High Melts in Colorado. We had DNA Genetics came out from California. Beazle was out from Beazle Extracts.

11:58BubblemanCheech and Chong's booth was being represented. I feel like I'm forgetting at least one or two booths, which I apologize. They have like seven strong brands. Dr. Be Real, Dr. Green Thumb, his brand as well was being represented by the Redemption Botanicals. So keep an eye out in Illinois for Redemption Botanicals. They're working hard, those guys. They're educating and working. And I got to tour the facility.

12:26BubblemanAnd of course, Dread Smokes Weed just... is an incredible grower uh all of the cultivars that i went and saw which i wish i could be sharing right now we'll get to the xrs 900 bingo lombardi don't you worry about that in at all okay sorry just Communicating with some people, gonna get some folks in here right away. So yeah, that was an incredible little event in Illinois.

13:07BubblemanI had a great time visiting this facility, working with the hash makers. I got into the lab and got my hands dirty. So thank you everyone that I met there. You were all wonderful people working really hard, making things go to the next level. So shout out to all of you. In the meantime, right after that,

13:29BubblemanSorry, I'm just, I keep getting questions. Oops. It's nice when you... Okay, so right after that, I split from Illinois and I went to Colorado and linked up with the boys there. My partner Dan from 111 picked me up at the airport and right to the reserve, which is always the key, and got to see Kyle. It was a very busy weekend when I rolled up into Colorado because dude grows cup.

14:01BubblemanThank you for watching.

14:20BubblemanOf opportunities for everyone to get together and smash dabs and smoke joints. And so, yes, my motorcycle riding in Colorado was a big part. I was going to get to that. Shout out to Jinji, this six foot six ginger kid that was working at the Eagle Rider motorcycle shop, who basically recognized me and was like, you're a bubble man. No way. As I'm renting a motorcycle, so I ended up hooking him up with some local jars of Bubble Man brand as a gift for educational purposes only.

14:53BubblemanNothing was transferred. No money was given. And he was just ended up being super helpful. He rented me this XRS 900 Yamaha motorcycle. I had an opportunity to rent anything. I could have rented an electric lot. I could have rented, you know, all sorts of massive bikes, including BMWs. You know, the BMW, I'm not going to lie. I should have rented because it had cruise control with radar, radar cruise control.

15:17BubblemanNow the XR S 900 had, um, that had, um,

15:25BubblemanA cruise control, but it did not have the radar detector. But still, nonetheless, I drove up to Red Rocks. For those of you that may have seen the photo of me up at Red Rocks on the motorcycle, that is it right there. There was a concert happening. So tons of cars were driving up. So I was about to go up and I kind of turned back around and there was some nice rocks behind me so I managed to get the one shot.

15:49BubblemanAnd I had just come from shooting guns with Matt Robertson so that was kind of my redneck American day I burnt my arms I don't know if you guys can see the burns, not really anymore the camera doesn't do too well but they're red, I can promise you. So I burnt my arms. Yeah, my bike had cruise control. It was amazing, dude. Really nice and helpful for long motorcycle rides and that, you know, that clutching and gear changing and gassing and holding the gas.

16:14BubblemanSo really, really nice. Oh, yeah, it was an amazing time, Goat Head Gardens. It was quite an amazing time. We're definitely going to be doing that again. So yeah, I took the motorcycle out. I drove out to Evergreen. I linked up with Matt Robertson and we went and shot guns. So that was super fun. I want to thank Matt Robertson for taking me out for such an American experience.

16:39BubblemanThat's my American picture right there. How American can you get? Little Uzi in the top there on the grass, little AK-47. So yeah, I went and I went to big ARs or big ALs, whatever it was. I had the full American experience. And I just got to tell you, man, like shout out to Matt for his gun safety. It never got sketchy. It never became silly. We just paid very close attention to the danger that was potentially there.

17:06BubblemanAnd we shot responsibly in a responsible place. And we just had a hell of a time. Yeah, it was motorcycles and guns. Speaking of motorcycles and guns, I wonder what D420K is up to these days.

17:22SpeakerBong ripping, mother lover.

17:24BubblemanFuck, dude, that timing was amazing, bro.

17:28SpeakerVery nice.

17:32BubblemanOh, shit, dude. Someone was like, where the fuck is D420K doing? You know, no one has ever stopped saying bong rip mother lubber. In fact, I would go as far to say that bong rip mother lubber is the quintessential hash church quote, dude. Out of all the things we ever said on hash church, I think that that was it.

17:55SpeakerBeautiful. Mark 10.

17:58BubblemanThere you go. Yeah, I was just showing pictures of my American trip, my last American trip. And I rented a bike. I rented a little XRS 900 Yamaha and was riding around Colorado on a bike out into the mountains, which was, dude, it was epic.

18:17SpeakerFuck, I bet.

18:18BubblemanEven though I was by myself, you know, like it wasn't the same as being with your bros, but... Dude, it was really wonderful. I haven't gone riding in several years, dude. My bike's been in the garage kind of just on mothballs. I got to get it out, dude.

18:35SpeakerYeah, you do. This summer, we're going for a rip.

18:38BubblemanDude, we got to, man. I would love to go for a rip. Drive up north and meet you somewhere. You got the rides. You know where to go.

18:45SpeakerMeet me at Cache Creek. We'll hit the taco stand up there, and then we'll fucking head on the food tour. Nice. Well, no. You're vegetarian still, right?

18:57BubblemanWell, I'll eat some fish.

18:58SpeakerOkay.

19:00BubblemanI'll eat a little pescetarian. Plus, it doesn't matter. I'll go to the rib joint with you and you can eat ribs and I'll get fucking coleslaw.

19:06SpeakerI'll catch you some fish and we'll fucking eat it right on the side of the road.

19:11BubblemanOh, exactly, dude. With the bikes cooking it right on the side of the road, dude. Oh, my God, dude. That is amazing.

19:18SpeakerI got a video on my YouTube of myself, Chance, and my dad We went for a tour. We did the Northern Loop. That's awesome. And what a trip, man. What a trip. Like, I got lots of pictures. And then we were at Leard Hot Springs cooking up a huge breakfast, hash browns, eggs, bacon, ham slices, everything. Like a real man breakfast type thing. Fuck yeah. There was a lot of stuff on those trips.

19:47SpeakerYou know, you want to talk good karma, being nice to people and stuff, and just... Just being a good human in general, anywhere you go and anything you're doing really does pay off when you need it. Cause I was, I was on the top, I was at the, the continental divide in BC and Yukon. And, uh, my bike broke down and we had a trip. We had a time there, man.

20:17SpeakerI tell you, middle of nowhere, no cell service had to use the, use the, uh, Gas station, phone and everything like that. This guy let us use his truck to drive four hours all the way to Whitehorse to grab parts to see if we can get my bike fixed with his truck, with his trailer.

20:36BubblemanThere's amazing people out there.

20:40SpeakerMan, it was unreal. And even after that, we did a turn and burn. We just ripped up to Whitehorse and back. It's a four-hour drive each way. Well, we came back, there was a fuel tanker that had spilled across the highway and there was a whole bunch of, the highway was cut off and there was a bunch of people in the gas station parking lot and everything stranded and stuff.

21:03SpeakerCrazy. We got in there just in time with all of the supplies for the restaurant for breakfast and everything like that. And then we went in and put aprons on and did dishes and fried bacon and everything else with this dude and fed everybody that was out there and stuff. And then the guy's like, well, you know, there's going to be a few more hours at least and stuff because he knew the highway guys and that.

21:25SpeakerAnd he says, take my other truck there, go up that other road where there's the airport sign, an old dirt airstrip and stuff like total Yukon, unbelievable scenery. And he said, go fish in there. I see you got your rods there. We grabbed, me and Chance grabbed the rods and went fishing and toured and came back. And he goes, okay. They're going to be ready in about 10 minutes.

21:48SpeakerGet your shit ready and get up to the front of the line. We did that. We went right to the front of the line, took my helmet off to put some water in it because it was real hot. And he goes, are you ready? Put your helmet on because you guys are first. We had the whole highway to ourselves for four hours. Oh, my God. Up top of the continental divide.

22:08SpeakerAnd it was just fucking amazing, man. Like.

22:12BubblemanThat sounds perfect, dude.

22:13SpeakerI rip. You know how I rip. I rip. I go hard on that bike.

22:17BubblemanDude, I love riding with you, dude. Right. It's a good time. Side by side, ripping up the sea to sky.

22:22SpeakerYeah, man. It's just awesome. But you know, when I was up there in the mountains and everything, our mountains here are beautiful, but those mountains up there are giant Golothic mountains. And I was like, I look down at my speedometer, I'm doing like 70 or 80 because I'm just in awe, looking around, just fucking amazed at what I was seeing.

22:43BubblemanDude, it can be dangerous when it's that beautiful. Colorado, dude, the mountains are 14,000, 15,000 feet, like twice the height of Whistler and Blackcomb. And it's so beautiful and epic. And it's like the tables, the all the just such beautiful mountains that yeah, dude, I'll tell you, it was pay attention and be safe and be careful. I wish I was with someone. I wish people realized when you're telling these stories, I wish they could feel and understand how special it is to go on a motorcycle tour with your bros.

23:16BubblemanAnd like what you're doing, very few people have done in the world, dude. Like a small percentage of people have done what you have done. And then to like hit the lottery and be like, go ahead, you guys are first on the fucking highway for four hours without anyone on the highway. That's like shit that the Sultan of Brunei would pay millions of dollars to do. Oh, yeah.

23:38BubblemanI mean, we're going to close the highway for the Sultan of Brunei. You know, we're making six million. So it's like, or we'll just do it for D420K and chance just for shits and giggles because they made us bacon.

23:48SpeakerYeah. Oh, and you know, that guy, we've done this northern tour three, four times, three times at least for sure.

23:56BubblemanYeah.

23:57SpeakerWe go out from Prince George, Dawson Creek. We are, you know, Fort Nelson, Watson Lake, all the way up to Dawson City and then down to the Cassier Highway. And the Cassier Highway is like, that's like a six hour ride where you see maybe five, ten vehicles at the tops. That's it. And this guy, all these people up there, they had, there was people at the end of their dirt driveways out there on the road when we come by because we had a huge pack with us.

24:26SpeakerAnd they were taking pictures at the end of their driveway and they'd phone ahead and let these other people know, yeah, these big group of bikers are coming through. It looks cool when they're riding and everything. And that guy at the gas station made us homemade cabbage rolls that day. Ooh, we're going to have to have a bong rip here soon. But he met us at the pumps with all of us, did our gas, and then goes, okay, guys, come on inside.

24:51SpeakerWe've got some cabbage rolls for you. And he made these little finger... Little small two-bite cabbage rolls out of sauerkraut and everything. And oh my God, they were the best. And he just gave them to us. So every time I went through there, I was like, you got those cabbage rolls going still? And he's like, no, I don't. But when you guys are coming back, I'll have a batch made.

25:11SpeakerSo on our way back, he'd always have cabbage rolls ready for us. This guy was awesome. You walk in, you cruise up to these ATCO trailers, and you don't check in, you don't do nothing. You just go in the door, pick the key on the wall, and go to your room because it's too late or whatever, and people don't want to get up and do the paperwork.

25:29SpeakerAnd you just do it on the honor system. It is old country. It is Amazing. The people were fucking amazing. The bike shops in Whitehorse can go fuck themselves because they were, oh my God, Mark, this big biker dude in a Honda shop. I go in there, look, I just wanted the front wheel bearings done on my bike. And he goes, we don't touch fucking Harleys.

25:57BubblemanThem's fighting words.

25:59SpeakerBuddy, I was, you know, it was such a small town, only one way in and out, all that stuff. I'd be hiding in the bush for a month if I did what I wanted to do. You know what I'm saying?

26:11BubblemanDude, was the guy that gave you the cabbage rolls Ukrainian?

26:15SpeakerYou know, I don't know, but he was from, he had to be from that part of the world.

26:20BubblemanYou know what we called those when I was growing up? No. Halapchi. Halapchi. Halapchi. Halapchi is the Ukrainian word for cabbage rolls. I grew up in a very Ukrainian city, dude. Winnipeg, Manitoba has a giant Ukrainian population. So pierogies, I think we might have even had Hunky Bill. He might have been either from our province or the one next door. Remember Hunky Bill's pierogi makers? He had like the big weird mole on his forehead.

26:47BubblemanHe used to do commercials in the 70s. Maybe it's a Winnipeg thing, but Hunky Bill's pierogi makers, man. And the halapchi. Fuck yeah. That's what's up. Welcome, ATN.

27:01Etienne FontanIt's good to see that face again. How you doing? How you doing, buddy? Doing good. You know. Doing nothing. No, I'm kidding. I'm always doing shit.

27:11SpeakerDoing nothing. I like doing nothing sometimes.

27:18Etienne FontanI do a lot of doing nothing, but I do a lot of something while doing nothing. So, yeah, me and my boys been. Yeah, we did a what's called in the United States. When you want to look under the hood of your government, we do these things called Freedom of Information Act requests. And so we basically say, I want to see this. I want to see this.

27:42Etienne FontanAnd then I come back. OK, well, if you want to see all this under cannabis, you have to break all the things down. And we basically got like a 2000 page data dump from our government explaining all kinds of lies and misinformation.

27:58Etienne FontanI'm in the midst of my boys were in the midst of a 11 article drop between Veterans Day and pardon me between Memorial Day and then in Veterans Day. So we've been dropping this marijuana moment and Tom Angel's. I've been dropping our knowledge and it's more, these articles are written toward the policymakers and those that are overseeing Veterans Affairs and all of that. So all we're trying to do is get more access for our veterans directly.

28:34Etienne FontanSo it's...

28:39Etienne FontanYeah, a lot of exposure, a lot of research, and just trying to make sure that we have our I's dotted and T's crossed. And then we sent at least two of the 11 articles that have been published so far. I sent them to all the people on the Armed Services Committee, the Veterans Affairs Committees, and then we have a group in Congress called the Cannabis Caucus, who are representatives who are Trying to help us and push the issue forward.

29:05Etienne FontanSo said that to them as well to keep them updated in the loop, tell them to keep an eye out for the other nine articles. And yeah, just exposing some sunlight on a bunch of lies and bullshit and stuff trying to make the place a little better than how I found it. I froze up for some reason.

29:28BubblemanYou did kind of freeze up for some reason. Right when he said he froze up for some reason, he froze up. That was pretty trippy. He's coming and going.

29:36Etienne FontanLet's see if that video will help out. Let's try it again.

29:39BubblemanHere, let's see if I can put you on speaker and see if you show up that way. But I guess I got to stop talking for that to happen.

29:47Etienne FontanRight. There we go. There's my camera. For some reason, it decided to go a hiccup on me.

29:52BubblemanYeah, sometimes the cameras like to do that, man.

29:55Etienne FontanYeah, they're hating my freedom.

29:58BubblemanThey're hating our freedom.

30:00Etienne FontanI know, right? Can't have my freedom implied upon.

30:03BubblemanDude, I was practicing my freedom in the US recently, brother. I was shooting guns for the first time. I know, isn't recoil interesting and painful? Oh my God, you should have seen Matt's shoulder. It looked like someone beat him up. He had like, like hickey blood dots all over his shoulder and his whole shoulder. That AK-47 really has a kickback, dude. I'd never shot a... 7.62s, yeah.

30:25Bubbleman7.62s, that's right.

30:29Etienne FontanYeah, that's how a military, we're all about, you know, we don't do the metric system except in all of the military. Yeah, of course. Because I was in 155 millimeters artillery, right? And of course, then we fired the 5.56, which really doesn't have a bunch. But yeah, the AK has a burst, but are you a left-handed shot or a right-handed shot?

30:47BubblemanI'm like this. So this is my right hand at the front of the... You're a left-handed shot too.

30:52Etienne FontanThat's it. So the problem I have, especially in combat and shit like that, I know it's a kind of fucked up thing to say, but... Because I'm a left-handed shot, the eject is on, of course, the right side. That's right.

31:04BubblemanIt kept hitting my shoulder and my head.

31:06Etienne FontanSo what happens, right, exactly, I would get the bounce back off the shoulder and get the kiss on the cheek. And so I used to have just a whole series of red marks on my cheek from just from the kickback. So you have to get a guard, which I didn't have. But yeah, yeah, it's a pain in the ass.

31:24BubblemanI don't think I'll be doing too much more of that. I just wanted to have the experience, you know, and go and do that. And Matt had invited me. So I thought, well, that was nice of him. I'll go check this out. And yeah, it was just fun.

31:36Etienne FontanYou don't like the acrid smell of gunpowder all day. Come on.

31:40BubblemanWell, it was short lived for us because obviously you can shoot a lot. We had an Uzi and an AK and a handgun or whatever. So we're shooting pretty fast. But one of the cool things I want to shout out about Matt was he told me, look, when someone showed me how to do this, Because we were like in an outdoor kind of a natural range on a hill that went up shooting into the hill.

31:59BubblemanAnd so he was like, let's take all of our empty boxes and you don't have to pick up your shells, but let's just pick up boxes full of shells. So we ended up all the boxes we had. We filled up with used shells that were already on the property. And I thought, what a good way to teach someone how to go shooting. I'll do that for the rest of my life.

32:18BubblemanIf I ever go shooting again, I will definitely pick up shells that are just have been left out. Always good to police.

32:25Etienne FontanIt's called policing your brass. Yeah, policing your brass. Well, it doesn't disintegrate, right?

32:31BubblemanNo, no. We were picking up. I picked up really old ones, dude. They were like rusted out and like old. Right.

32:37Etienne FontanThanks. Family message.

33:07BubblemanAbsolutely. We took way more than we left. I'll tell you that much. The amount of bullets we shot out, I mean, you know how they're packaged and slid into the boxes. Well, we just filled the boxes up with the ones we found. So I would hope we found at least two X more than may have been used by us. So that was a cool thing for him to just kind of know and teach me and It was a small part of my trip, but it was definitely kind of a big part, like going to the Big Al's or the Big, I can't remember what the store was called.

33:40BubblemanIt was Big Al's or Big AR or something. I have to look real quick here on my phone because it was, oh, here we go. Yeah, Big R, the Big R store. That was the Big R store that we went and we did our thing.

33:53Etienne FontanGo get your ammo and shit.

33:54BubblemanWell, dude, I couldn't believe this photo right here because this is just something you would never see in a gun store in Canada.

34:02Etienne FontanOh, dude, that's at Walmarts. When I was growing up, you could go into a Walmart anywhere in the South, and you'd go into the back, and there would be the handguns under the glass container. The shotguns and the rifles would be right behind, and you'd be like, okay, what you got? What's on satellite? Oh, look, we got an AR. We got a .30-06 there and a .14, you know.

34:22BubblemanAlso, can we talk about the evil red-eyed... Satanic horse that's at the entrance to the fucking Denver International Airport.

34:30Etienne FontanYou really want to go there about the Denver International Airport? There's supposedly a whole conspiracy. There's a whole underground complex for in case we get nuked.

34:41BubblemanOK, do you know the story of this statue?

34:44Etienne FontanI've read it originally when it was put up. Okay, well, let me give you the cliff notes.

34:48BubblemanIt fell over and killed the guy who made it, and they still put it up. Yeah. Yeah, the guy who made this statue was killed by the... This statue has got to be at least 50 feet tall, bro. Oh, it's huge. I've seen it when I've been to Denver and out. Yeah, it is impossible to miss, especially at night with the eyes, right? Oh, dude, even in the daytime, you can see the eyes glowing red.

35:10BubblemanApparently, my African Uber driver, he said they paint the eyes constantly to make sure they're not like drab. They want them to be bright red. He's just like, he's like, this is some Satan stuff.

35:23Etienne FontanYou know, I was like, no, if you actually go further, it's it's the Denver Broncos. The football team in the area. Oh, I know.

35:33BubblemanI know. But it's like the Denver Broncos horse doesn't look like that anywhere else.

35:39Etienne FontanOh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, it just looks wonderfully evil. Absolutely. They like, let's go evil and knock it up a notch. We'll make it all black. We'll give it bright red eyes. Everybody's like, what the fuck?

35:49BubblemanIt definitely stands out, dude. I was like, holy shit. Not even like a football in the picture. You know, like. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Like nothing else.

35:57Etienne FontanA mile high stadium for that.

36:01BubblemanDid you just get destroyed, D420K? I thought you took a big bong rip or something. Oh, you're muted.

36:09SpeakerYou're muted, sir. I did.

36:12BubblemanOh, well, then I'm going to join you. I'm going to hit this one here. It's kind of creamy and yummy.

36:18SpeakerNice. Looks good.

36:20BubblemanYeah, it is the Love Affair No. 3.

36:25Etienne FontanI'm on my morning doink. So my morning doink has three different CBD flowers. Wow. Some THC flower and then 10 little dots of dab. So I'm dabbing with you just in dry form. I always knew you were, my brother. There was never a doubt.

36:47BubblemanYeah. There was never a doubt. And I got to tell you, I had a good time in Illinois for how like, I don't know, just middle America it is. I had a good time.

36:59Etienne FontanI've gotten the best equatorials I ever scored off the street in Chicago randomly at a bar on the south side back in 94 when we were on Hemp Tour. And of course, When you're on, you know, tour, there's no providing of cannabis, right? So you have to go acquire your cannabis if you want cannabis. So, you know, it was back in the day when you go to bars, you hang out with people and you see you get a vibe.

37:26Etienne FontanAnd this guy was there and I was like, you know, it was also good to be in Cannes because I had my Cannes flyers when they, you know, I could just back it up with some, yeah, I'm with Cannes, I'm passing these out. We're doing this for cannabis. Oh, shit. Oh, all right, cool. I was like, you know, um, Look, there's some herb. You got any herbs?

37:43SpeakerWhat do you got?

37:46Etienne FontanYou know, this is the old school when you give somebody, you know, 50 bucks and you hope they come back sort of situation. And yeah, we gave him the cash. He went off in about 45 minutes. Dude came back with the greenest, bright green, long, long fingered leaves that I've ever seen. And it was totally a proper plus eighth. You know what I'm saying? It was an eighth plus they gave me the extra stem inside there.

38:13Etienne FontanSo, you know, they didn't weigh me out. They kind of gave me a better balance on things. And I just have to say that was some of the most, I've scored weed all over the United States, 47 states, and that was the only place I ever got the most literally amazing equatorial I've probably ever smoked at the time. So Chicago, nothing but love. Second City, I mean, it's also the house of all the MSOs now.

38:39Etienne FontanThe multi-state operators are out of Chicago. So it's kind of a little hard to find, you know, the really good goods. So I know, of course, you were flashing yourself. So people are like, oh, Marcus, you can't have that store-bought shit. You got to have this shit.

38:53BubblemanDude, fucking Redemption Botanicals. They're in tons of stores with DNA Genetics and Preferred and Diesel and Bubble Man brand and all of the different brands. Yeah, they're doing a really good job there. They're putting a lot of work in, growing really nice flower. And just all around good vibes. They just, it's, I love seeing people execute, man. I love people, seeing people get together and really doing the work.

39:20BubblemanAnd those guys are absolutely doing the work.

39:25Etienne FontanWell, you know what it is. You've seen more fake than you can probably shake a stick at to see. One, again, the technology is there. Two, the craft is there. And three, the passion is there. And when those three combine, you get to see shit that's, if everybody looks at Marcus right now, all the stuff that's on his, that's behind him, all those pretty pictures, that's what you get out of it, right?

39:48Etienne FontanYou got to put in great stuff. Thank you for joining us.

40:06Etienne Fontanquality creeping in but unfortunately there's more quantity than quality and the more people get exposed to quality the more they will demand it is what we have seen all over the world really Right.

40:21BubblemanYeah. You know, I always feel like there's always going to be the massive group of people kind of like food, like there's amazing food in the world. And I don't think that the majority of people don't want to have that amazing food. I think it's just an affordability thing. It's outrageous. Like, I'm not going to spend like hundreds of dollars on a meal. I'm just going to buy a meal for seven dollars.

40:42BubblemanSo you have much more McDonald's, which is not quality than you do like Michelin star restaurants. Right. So I kind of feel like Cannabis is the same way. I think you're right in the sense that the quality, the group of people who look for something nice is ever growing. But the group of people who really just can't afford it is also ever growing. Do you know what I mean?

41:08BubblemanLike, I feel like that group's not getting wealthier. You know what I mean?

41:10Etienne FontanNo. Well, it's spread out faster and over time. In the United States, we've got 40 states where it's medical, 24 where it's recreational. So you've seen... A whole shape and re-changing of the landscape completely. Whereas 20 years ago, everything used to come out of California. So Northern California was pumping it out like a fucking, you know, whore on a Saturday night. Nothing against whores on a Saturday night.

41:39Etienne FontanI'm just saying very busy. How prejudiced are you? Right. And so now, you know, what happened is in East Coast and other states started to establish their own markets and market abilities. And then next thing you know, you know, they had good quality genetics to start with. Some people went average, some people went quality. And Unfortunately, quality costs, right? Because, you know, testing costs and that's not cheap stuff.

42:05Etienne FontanAnd then to do everything correct, right? To buy the proper equipment, right, Marcus? And all those things.

42:11BubblemanOh my God, dude.

42:12Etienne FontanSignificant investments. Then when you look at a simple thing such as packaging, how are you going to package it? You know, what's your top gonna be? Is it gonna be just a standard plastic top or are you gonna overspend initially and try to do something that's recyclable or something that is, you know, biodegradable? Oh, they don't exist. Oh, well, there are hemp ones. Oh, but there's no hemp things that You know, no recycling bins that will take the hemp stuff or manufacturers that will recycle the hemp properly.

42:41Etienne FontanSo we've got a whole bunch of problems we threw about ourselves, which I know, you know, we're not the only country with, with, you know, issues with packaging. I guarantee you, I wouldn't be surprised if, you know, the packaging in Canada is still Overpriced for what you're getting and non biodegradable. So we're left with each year, millions and millions of tons of just useless crap that won't biodegrade.

43:09Etienne FontanAnd that's not including the demand for cartridges and convenience. So therefore, we're going to take every single possible shitty, you know, little metal, put them all together into these little things and then spike them with oil. And now They've become the roach of our generation that is absolutely toxic as fuck because we can't recycle them. You know what I've seen? I've seen on Reddit where people will take a whole bunch of these and boil them together with alcohol to leach the cannabis out of it because people don't know what the fuck to do with these things.

43:44Etienne FontanAnd there's still a little bit of oil left. So what do I do? So we've got all these problems we've hoisted upon our own society and our own people. Out of convenience and demand that is unfortunately leaving future generations with a cost and a variability that is not responsible and something that I know it's a dirty word to really be talking about, but something as somebody who's in it, I have to always point out is we're fucking up.

44:17Etienne FontanAnd we're not doing better and we could do better.

44:20BubblemanPart of a massive like it's not like we started it either. It's like we've been fucking up since we were born. Oh, yeah. Boxes and straws and plastic cups and like all of this shit. Now, you know, for a while. They figured out, hey, I've got an amazing way that we can virtue signal and still use all of these products. We can claim that we're just recycling all of them.

44:44BubblemanAnd then you learn that like, you know, six or 7% of all recyclables end up being recycled and 94 plus percent of recyclables Get burned in a pit or an incinerator in the Philippines or whatever company is willing to do it. Burning plastic, by the way. This is happening like every day.

45:04Etienne FontanI used to get paid to do it in the military. They used to get us to burn shit. It's called burn pits. So, you know, you can't leave your trash everywhere. So what did we do? We burned it and inhaled all that toxic crap. But no, I completely agree with you, Marcus. However, We in the cannabis world have settled for that same thing. And I think we can do better.

45:24Etienne FontanI think we can challenge the future and those who are currently watching to figure out ways to start making components better, more recyclable, more. I mean, remember like a decade ago, there were people really pushing pens to be recyclable and refillable. And then That quickly went the way of the Dodo as we saw, you know, these two factories out of China just pumping out these carts, right?

45:56Etienne FontanReally started around 2010 when we started to see the wicking, the original wicking, you know, pens, and it was an amazing thing for convenience. However, what started off as a small thing has become quite large, right? I mean, you carry carts in Canada, right?

46:15BubblemanWe have all sorts of carts and like pods. We have it all. Absolutely. Right.

46:21Etienne FontanSo you have every scope of it from the five, ten to the full, you know, all in ones. Right. Which are. Oh, yeah.

46:29BubblemanSomething that we have all the same pollution that you guys have down there, not just in cannabis, in all aspects. We're burning gas. We're burning plastic. We're fine.

46:40Etienne FontanWell, we're not doing it all the time. From our demand, right? This from the consumer's demand, right? The demand and the convenience. So therefore we have to take the responsibility. You who are watching as well. And if you care, then you have to stop buying those things. Or, you know, offer all.

47:01BubblemanIt's a bit of a deep it's a bit of a deeper rabbit hole than that, because it's like, OK, so if you're not going to buy those things, then are you also going to put on your list all the other things you use in your life that are identical to that? Because now now you're going to be living. It's not just going to be about not having convenience.

47:17BubblemanIt can get to a point where You're living in a cave. And so this is the hard part I have with it. It's like, what do I pick and choose? You know, because I obviously don't want to make the world a shittier place, but yet I'm driving a truck. It takes gasoline. It's got rubber tires that will never be recycled and will end up in a fucking burn pit someday, which is what's going to happen to all your tires.

47:41Bubblemanwhich is like okay i'm not going to use pods and i'm also not going to drive on any vehicle that has a rubber tire because tires probably make up a much larger pile of pollution than say carts you know what i mean like just imagine four tires per car never and so it it turns into this sort of like circular thing where what do you do do you pick and choose a couple do you

48:03Etienne FontanWell, you've seen it in where people are. Here's just an example in our own environment, right? People saw and have been using BICs and lighters for years until they realized, hey, you know what? Maybe I should look at alternatives, right? And so we've seen like the hemp wick and other things and people going to matches and solar. So I'm not saying it's immediately going to change. However...

48:25Etienne FontanThe demand came from us and we can demand something different because we vote through our dollars. Now look, I have the same, I struggle with the same reality because I carry all those things and I've sold them and how many tens of thousands of carts have I sold over the past 15 years alone, right? Tens of thousands, right? So there's no doubt we've contributed and I've contributed to it and there's a guilt that comes with that as well.

48:51Etienne FontanI'm just saying, We can do better. Yeah, you can't do absolutely everything in your life to change things, right? We gotta drive on those rubber tires. However, we can choose how and where and what we use in everything else that we do, right? We can choose as best as we can, the less of all evils. And all I'm saying is we can demand better. Look for the creativity in those.

49:15Etienne FontanI mean, it's still a joint. It still burns well, still gets me high. You know, however, convenience and delivery are something we all have to think about. Just think about it, people. I'm not saying you have to, you know.

49:30BubblemanEven the rolling paper companies, if we went to those factories and we saw the amount of glue, liquid glue that ended up in the rivers or ended, you know, there's got, this is the problem that I've noticed with all manufacturing. When you want to get bigger, when you want to hit more people, there becomes problems that you have to like, Balance with making the product available to a person in the first place, even if it's, you know, as simple as a pre-rolled joint.

50:00BubblemanWell, what are the factories that are making those pre-rolled joint machines? What are the factories that are producing the paper or even just the glue for the paper? Or you get into the trucks that are moving it all with diesel fuel, as well as the boats. And it just becomes this like, yeah, they all come from where?

50:17Etienne FontanSpain and Portugal, right?

50:19BubblemanYeah, and France, I think. And France, yeah. I think about this stuff often as well. As I get older, I understand why we're all hypocrites, because it's almost impossible. The minute you create a stance on one aspect where you have a revelation, you automatically become a hypocrite in regards to all the other things you have yet to have your revelation.

50:46BubblemanAnd so I think it's part of the human experience to experience the hypocritical experience. You know, I've definitely had it throughout my life, you know, calling the kettle black or just, you know, doing one thing over here, but not doing it over here. It's a tough one. I guess you just got to stay conscious, like you said.

51:06Etienne FontanWell, you make your choices through your life, right? And so why I focus on is because yours truly was in a war in over oil, right? I literally sat in and watched hundreds of oil fires burning, burning so thick that the smoke above my head, right, was so thick that outside of the smoke, it was 120, 130 degrees. Under the smoke, it was 28 degrees, which is below freezing.

51:35BubblemanI'll never forget that image of how many of those were on fire.

51:39Etienne FontanOh, I wasn't even there.

51:41BubblemanI wasn't even there.

51:42Etienne FontanOh, it was horrible. You know, I honestly can't imagine. But at the same time, I helped contribute to that. You know what I'm saying? So for me, you know, I understand what I killed men, women and children all over fucking oil. And I do not like that. I was a 21 year old kid and. Still developing and did stupid shit. So for me, I want to undo some of the damage that I've done.

52:08Etienne FontanSo any little way that I can make an impact a little better The better I can, be it through, you know, actions or through exactly what I buy. And I look, as I evaluate myself as I get older, I look at the responsibilities I've had and the failures that we had, such as in 2010, 2011, when we're, you know, oh, these carts, we shouldn't do these carts.

52:33Etienne FontanYou know what I'm saying? You know, could we have stopped it then? You know, would that have been a thing? No. No, we have absolutely would not have stopped the same way that because it goes back to the fact that oil isn't just carts.

52:45BubblemanOil is everything. That's why like people are the production.

52:49Etienne FontanPeople don't realize, right? All that comes with the production, right?

52:52BubblemanBut it's everything is made out of oil. Like, look around your room, dude. Everything is made of oil. I hear people like, we got to get rid of oil. And I'm like, it's an amazing idea. But holy fuck, we better figure out a way to survive without it. Because all of our computers and all of our phones and all of our, like, everything, the vehicles, the clothing, the like, we have so much shit that's made out of petrochemical oils.

53:21BubblemanI don't even know what percentage of our reality it is, but I can understand why you ended up in a war over oil because really oil, and it's scary to say, is freedom and wealth. That's what oil is because you can turn it in. It's like magic black elixir that you can just turn into 10 million different products. Turning old dinosaurs into money. I I don't think they're dinosaurs.

53:48BubblemanI think that's an old story. I'm I'm I don't believe there's I think Rockefeller is very smart and convincing people that oil was was was like limited was his most brilliant thing he did convince them that it's a limited resource. Okay. If you say so. How they go to war with it, how they control it, right? It's a scary game and you were definitely in it on a level that I have never experienced.

54:19BubblemanI appreciate what you're doing, dude, and that you've come out of it as a much better person.

54:24Etienne FontanYeah, I just don't, I don't want to see your, your kids and grand, and D2, 420K's grandkids, you know, all have to grow up into, have to have those types of experiences. They're much better experiences they could be having and deserve. And unfortunately, of course, all wars are about economics and access. So, you know, that's the problem. We've got, what, Thank you so much for joining us today.

55:16Etienne FontanThank you so much for joining us today.

55:36Etienne FontanBecause of the work that, you know, others put in and made change happen because, you know, this was a small part, right? When people were like, we've talked about a lot of overwhelming things, but even so, we've each found our ways to, you know, exist in the world with our cannabis. And not only have we done that, we've stepped outside of ourselves to help others along the way.

56:00Etienne FontanAnd on top of that, They've helped you right back because of the love and appreciation that people have for great quality hash and to have access to once you've had it, you want it, you demand it, right? I mean, look how many hours we've watched D420K over the years, you know, Doing his glove technique and everything, trying to make sure he just has a stash, right? You got to work to even have your stash if you want to do it the right way, because you know how many people don't do it the right way, right, Marcus?

56:36Etienne FontanYou had to show people how to do it right.

56:38BubblemanAnd you still have to do that. Made with screens that were made of oil.

56:45BubblemanYep. Everything is oil. You can't get away. I saw a video recently where a woman's like, we have to stop using oil. And the guy's like, what's your water bottle made out of? She's like, it's metal. I'm like, he's like, what's the lid made out of? She's like, I'm not sure. He's like, it's plastic. What do you think the pipes were made out of that you had that water brought to the facility that you filled it up with?

57:05BubblemanThank you for joining us.

57:20BubblemanBut holy shit, that is a, that is a, I would dare anyone here for the next just two days, try and live your life without using or touching plastic just for two days and see right down each time where you're like, well, I have to do this. Well, I have to do this. Well, I have to do this. You will be at like 647 at the end of the day of things that you did that you just cannot imagine.

57:47BubblemanI don't know if I would make the same argument about slave labor, although I will say that slave labor, slave implies that you're not being paid. But I think you can be a slave and get paid too. So in that sense, all labor that is sort of you're doing that you don't want to do, whether you're doing it against your will or being paid, being paid can be against your will.

58:09BubblemanYou don't want to do it, but you got to do it because that's what fucking we got to do. So it's, you know, for labor, that's a tough one. Obviously, being forced to do something is much worse than having the choice to do it for money. But we get ourselves into these situations where we're getting paid to do things for decades of our life that suck our soul right out of our bodies that don't bring joy or happiness.

58:32SpeakerI'm a living tribute to that right there.

58:36BubblemanReally?

58:36SpeakerTell me about that. Like the last job I was on, I was hired. I operated equipment because it broke my back and my neck and dislocated arms and all that kind of shit. And I went from construction work and labor into heavy equipment operating for the last 18 years. And let me tell you, I went up there to run hoe and there was too many hoe operators.

59:03SpeakerAnd I was either going to be the lead hand laborer and go for that. And we were doing civil work, pipeline and all that. And I haven't done physical labor in 18 years, 20 years.

59:16SpeakerAnd let me tell you, for three weeks, I suffered. I mean, I fucking suffered. Just walking up into my travel trailer, three steps. I had to have both feet on one step at a time, and then up, and then up. I couldn't just walk up like it was nothing. For three weeks, all I did was basically go back to my trailer, lay down, go to sleep, wake up real hungry, pig out on something, and go back to sleep and repeat.

59:46SpeakerNo weekends off. No, none of that. 20, 30 days at a time. Did it for two and a half months.

59:51BubblemanFucking man life.

59:53SpeakerIt sucked. It sucked. But let me tell you, after the three weeks of doing that. I was looking forward to more. I was like, yeah, I fucking did it. I did this. I made it through it without dying because I felt like dying over and over and over again.

1:00:13BubblemanOf course, you evicted weakness out of your body, dude. You evicted death out of your body. That's what happens.

1:00:21SpeakerWell, it was a struggle, but I did it because if I didn't do it, the bills wouldn't get paid. Nothing would get paid. I'd be homeless living in my truck. I'd probably end up losing my truck too because it couldn't afford insurance or gas or whatever. Because, you know, that hustle for the weed, that's not happening no more.

1:00:44BubblemanNo, the weed hustle has definitely changed.

1:00:47SpeakerYou can buy really good quality weed for way less than it costs to grow and flip it, but the profit margins are not like it used to be and everything like that. You know, that's fine. You know, I had a good, I had a good lifetime of hustle and that shit. And fuck yeah. I, I dig through, I dig through stuff. Cause like I recently got separated with my, my ex now months ago, and I've been setting my house back up, going into my sea can, looking into stuff, looking into boxes I haven't looked into for a while.

1:01:26SpeakerAnd it's been like Christmas. You know, all the stuff that I had, that I have, that we were put away because of family and stepkids and everything else moving in and stuff. It's setting my place up now. It's pretty nice seeing stuff that I got. Like, man, the money being spent, I see some of my buddies that are still hustling and actually doing pretty good with it.

1:01:52SpeakerThe way they spend their money and the way I used to spend my money was just like, I needed two or three of everything pretty much, you know, just in case.

1:02:03BubblemanYou're like going to a store, come out with 130 bucks worth of macaroons. I feel like, dude.

1:02:08SpeakerEasy, easily, buddy. You know, you've been there with me.

1:02:12BubblemanI was there with you, dude.

1:02:15SpeakerAnd let's, let's talk about you and your day. You know, like, weren't you splurging fucking thousands of dollars on homeless just for feeding them and stuff? And they got so fucking picky that they were like, oh, I'm vegan or I don't like this or I don't like that. And we were fucking putting in orders and it was just like, oh, fuck off, man. Like, come on. Like, just the shit.

1:02:39SpeakerYeah. But now the money that I make laboring like that or operating, I got a few jobs lined up here I'm waiting to start. Operating again and stuff like that, service trucking. But I hold on to that money, like both fists, both hands. There's no way no one's getting that money out of me. And spending it on something, it has to be a need, not a want these days.

1:03:09SpeakerOtherwise, you're wasting your money.

1:03:13BubblemanYeah, easy thing to do. You know, I was thinking too, our money is also made out of oil here in Canada. We have plastic money. Fuck. I'm not trying to be like, I just like, fuck, dude. Like, it's just. Oh, yeah.

1:03:25Etienne FontanWhat are you going to do? Just trade? You guys are going to trade in gold coins now?

1:03:31BubblemanIt's silver and palladium. I don't know. I don't know. I do like the idea. Go ahead, Dede.

1:03:37SpeakerEven gold and silver. Is that really the commodity we want to save up? Or is it supplies? Is it survival? Is it...

1:03:45BubblemanI think it's kindness.

1:03:47SpeakerThe needs and the sharing and all that sort of stuff, right? Like, you know, there's a lot of rabbit holes with this conversation that can be done, but put it this way. If you're a man with a family that are starving for One day, two day, three days, four days, and you got a guy that's beside you that has some supplies that isn't sharing and isn't willing and everything like that.

1:04:14SpeakerI don't know what kind of, you know, there's a lot of men out there that would do bad things because they have to. And they would go into some of these places and try to ask. And if they couldn't ask, there would probably be some death.

1:04:29BubblemanWe're on one side or both because it's definitely a part of what's going on in the world right now. I had a conversation with my neighbor yesterday about, uh, we were just talking about like cows and meats and the cost of meats and kind of how it's like subsidized and how they, if the cows were just, if the cows were just fed grass, it would be great.

1:04:49BubblemanBut then it's like, it's too, you can't. They need to concentrate them. And when they concentrate them, well, then they need to feed them grain. And they feed like, I think it's over 20% of the world's grain gets still fed to cows for a small percentage of the population to consume burgers and steaks. While almost the equivalent percentage of the globe, I don't know what the exact percentage is, but if you added up what percentage of the world's grain supply that we feed cows, it's probably close to the exact amount of people who are currently starving to death in the world.

1:05:24BubblemanWhich is a shocking, shocking number. If you actually do the, if you look up the numbers of how many people starve to death every day, including children, it's thousands. It's really a shocking, disturbing number. And it takes you down a rabbit hole that's even more disturbing than the plastic. Thank you for joining us.

1:06:05BubblemanFor the first time in my life, I was exposed to people who were actually starving to death, who were standing right next to people who were pigging out. And I just couldn't fucking wrap my head around it, dude. I could not wrap my head around. And it was the worst kind of starving. It was women. I'm sure the same way war is.

1:06:45BubblemanYou know, had this massive effect on Etienne's soul. So too did just going to India and seeing that and not being able to do like I'm telling you, dude, it's one thing to be like, oh, I'm going to help the world. It's another to go and try and help 100 million starving people. It's like this impossible task.

1:07:02Etienne FontanWe used to have children just standing on the side of the roads with their hands up. For anything. And that was during war. And of course, what do you do? You give them whatever you can. It's a child. You know what I'm saying? You know, sometimes it was a pork MRE because that's all we had. But, you know, religion doesn't know starvation.

1:07:23SpeakerHow about the amount of, you know, another rabbit hole too from this right off of this path? Thank you so much for joining us.

1:07:59BubblemanYou accidentally fall in the grinder. They're just like, well, you know what? He only weighed 180 pounds. As long as we put him into at least 4,000 pounds, we should be under our legal... I saw years ago there was a legal amount of like... Like contaminant, like rats, hair, like just certain shit. I had no idea that there was any percentage of human meat. Although I will say I did grow, I have been here for the last 30 years in British Columbia.

1:08:26BubblemanAnd we of course had this incredible man by the name of, oh God, what was his name? Robert. This insane maniac serial killer that was murdering indigenous women and then feeding them to his pigs. And then he slaughtered the pigs and sold them to the overweighty, which is like a was a big grocery chain here in British Columbia. So it's likely that I definitely ate some of that.

1:08:52SpeakerOh, my God, dude. I guarantee it. And there's still there's there's there's a thousand other rabbit holes that From Robert Pickton and his farm. Oh yeah, you're right. Right down to politicians.

1:09:03BubblemanPoliticians, gangs, police, everything.

1:09:06SpeakerEverything that you could possibly think of on the dark side of things and zero on the light side.

1:09:13BubblemanI know.

1:09:14SpeakerZero. Nothing but that.

1:09:16BubblemanI'm surprised nobody's made this into a movie. Oh, there must be some documentary on Pickton.

1:09:22SpeakerThere's movies on it. There's documentaries and stuff made into movies type thing, movie docs and that on it. They're guaranteed. And you know, the biggest part, the biggest part of their investigation that was hindering them was the egos, the egos of the higher ups and the guy that was helping and it was actually his program was working. And did work in capturing Robert Pickton. But the bigwigs that they treated that guy like he was some kind of piece of shit, like he was some kind of internal rat in the office.

1:09:58SpeakerAnd they treated that guy like hell. And he went all over the world and has caught serial killers with his program that he puts in his computer and does his forensic stuff, whatever. And it fucking works. So... That's another rabbit hole right there. There's nothing but rabbit holes in the world these days. There's nothing they're making that isn't to hurt us, to harm us, to get us on pharmaceuticals.

1:10:27SpeakerUnless you're growing it yourself, harvesting it yourself, the whole fucking works. And that's a lot of work for some people too.

1:10:34BubblemanWell, you know what? That is a lot of work. And I remember Johnny B always would promote, he's like, anyone can grow weed. And after a while, I was like, dude, I don't know if that's the truth. Like this growing weed thing is like, it's really taxing. You know, it's like anyone can grow a plant out on their deck. I definitely believe that. But not anyone can run like a five or a 10 light show.

1:10:55BubblemanThere are people who have disabilities or who have age, who have sickness, who have a variety of things where they just... They can't, they can't do it or they're just busy.

1:11:07SpeakerThat's a lot of work. We're a few hundred light shows in different buildings, in different parts of the province.

1:11:15BubblemanJust running 75. I remember Blackpaw running 75 when he was in his 60s and that was like, it was, it was, it was a lot, dude. Him and his wife were having a hard time running that many lights by themselves. And now they felt the, um, You know, the weight of those guys came from the BC Compassion Club because they wanted to produce the best medicine they could for these vulnerable people that Hillary had collected to sell cannabis to.

1:11:43BubblemanAnd so that was what drove them. That was the thing that made them feel great. But it was also the double-edged sword that made them feel like they couldn't stop and that they just had to keep going and going and going because if they stopped, you know, that hundred and whatever pounds for those two or three months would have been noticeably missed. So. Yeah.

1:12:05Etienne FontanCrazy what you can where you can, people, is all we're saying is that, you know, we've all read about these horrible things. So, you know, and we're talking about, of course, this isn't the most fun hash church necessarily have. But this is another way of saying, you know, do something, find a way to contribute and make life better, make the world a little better in your way.

1:12:27Etienne FontanYou know, we found all our way and we shaped ourselves, our ways, right? Marcus is a vegetarian, right? Has taught, talked about it for years, as well as, you know, he used to be anti-joint, but now he smokes joints, you know, so, you know, I was never anti-joint for you.

1:12:46BubblemanI was just anti-joint for me.

1:12:48SpeakerWhen did that happen? When did you? Oh, yeah, you had it good around, D. Smoke a joint.

1:12:54Etienne FontanYeah, he's been smoking J's for a few months now. I've seen that.

1:12:57SpeakerI've seen him spark up. I'm like, what the fuck?

1:13:01Etienne FontanWhen did this happen? You got to explain yourself to him, Marcus. I can't tell your bud what the fuck's up.

1:13:07BubblemanSo this started, okay, funny enough, I think I might have a bud of this right here. What did I do with that bud? It was the haze. It was and it wasn't. It was a collection. Okay, here we go. All right, so first it's got to go out to my buddy Jay, who I was actually visiting yesterday, and he gave me this flower, and this is called Please Wash Me.

1:13:30BubblemanLet me see if I can get the camera to focus on it.

1:13:33Etienne FontanNo, I mean, we can see it's a bud.

1:13:35BubblemanIt's not going to go sexy, but sometimes it'll at least, you know, get a little cleaner. But anyway, it's a really nice, dense bud. Like this bud is so dense, bro. I cannot even tell you. And it's just like musky, dank, like, oh, it's wonderful. So he gives me a bud of this. I would say that was back in October of twenty twenty five. It's in a bag just like this on my desk.

1:13:59BubblemanI'm doing nothing with it. But the first time I smell it, my mouth waters a little bit. And I'm like, that was weird. I was like, fuck. I almost like want to smoke this. I was like, I'm not going to do that. Then a couple months later, I'm now going to America for the first time in over 28 years. I'm going to Las Vegas. And I go to Las Vegas and I meet up with Caleb, Caleb from Hash Church.

1:14:24BubblemanCaleb's awesome. He's like the least Las Vegas person you could ever possibly go to Las Vegas to meet. Like he could not, me and him could not have stood out more like sore thumbs walking around in this fucking alien world. Anyway, he comes up to my room. I got a balcony and he's like, hey, I got some flour from Tom Hill. Tom Hill's the sativa grower. Tom's been doing these pheno hunts for the last couple of years on these hazes.

1:14:48BubblemanAnd he's got the X, the double X, and the triple X. The triple X being aka the calypso haze. I look at these jars and my mouth is watering, bro. I'm like, holy fuck, I got to smoke one of these. I don't, I don't smoke one of them. I go back to Canada. It's December, end of December. Now it's January. My mouth is still watering from those hazes.

1:15:10BubblemanEvery hash church, fucking Caleb's pulling them out and showing them in jars. And I'm like, I'm like, where did that fucking please wash me bud go? And I'm looking around my desk and I'm like, oh, oh, oh, there it is. And I went to my buddy Merlin's, maybe a week before and he had a party and he put one of these crush 2.0 grinders the cube 2.0 on everyone's desk it's this dude this is the greatest grinder ever i gotta get you one it is it's got no corners so your fingers don't hit the corners when you turn the grinder it's so good in fact this guy has sponsored hash church And we have a hundred of these with the Hash Church logo coming soon.

1:15:55BubblemanAnd I will 1000% get you one of those, buddy, both you and all the Hash Church regulars. I'm going to get one, too. And then I'm going to put a few of them up for sale for a good price to, you know, to make them available to to the people who are watching. But anyway, I fucking I just grind that. Please wash me butt up, dude, with this grinder.

1:16:18BubblemanPerfect grind. I've got my, you know, this, it's funny how it all kind of happens, but my buddy gifted me this a couple of years ago. I mean, I get a thousand of these, but I throw them all away. But for whatever reason, I kept this one. This is from the dry sift guy in Amsterdam. This guy's father actually wrote that incredible comic book on cannabis that we shared some years ago.

1:16:42BubblemanAnyway, little rolling tray, grinder. Found a pack of papers from like Canna that they gave me in a swag thing. And, you know, now I'm using the OCBs, but I rolled it up and I smoked it, dude. I rolled it up and I went out on my deck and I smoked it and I didn't hate it. I liked it. It was like a warm hug. It was like a grilled cheese sandwich and a tomato soup on a rainy Vancouver day.

1:17:07SpeakerI was gonna say tomato soup too. Yeah, fuck yeah.

1:17:12BubblemanSo that was the beginning in January. I haven't smoked a ton of joints since then, but I've certainly, you know, then Tom was like, oh, I heard you like the haze. I got a buddy in Canada who's got some phenos and maybe he'll send you a clone. Well, not only does the guy send me a clone, he sends me an ounce of haze, like so generous. So now I'm smoking haze joints.

1:17:33BubblemanI'm like... Like it is the haze that I love the most. That being said, you know, last night I smoked a mango something joint. Today I smoked or today I'm going to smoke this one that I rolled that will be the please wash me. You know, it's a nice way that I can experience my friends who grow exceptional flower, but don't make hash. It's a nice way that I can still enjoy that product.

1:17:57BubblemanIt's a very nice way. I have people have been giving me flower. You have probably seen it many times. I probably gave you the flower. People used to give me flower and it was kind of like lame that I didn't, you know, use it myself. I would give it to my friends. And so now if the flower is nice enough and it's a cultivar that really kind of makes my mouth water, I will, um, I'll take the bud happily and roll it up and smoke it.

1:18:22BubblemanSo not a ton of joints, you know, maybe five or six joints a month, maybe, maybe a little more. But you know, the fact is, A, I'm very happy in the sense that when I smoke them, that I'm smoking them with my like 24 year old lungs, because that was like the last time smoke hit my lungs like that. So not that I think cannabis smoke is super detrimental to your lungs, but I can't imagine if I smoked, you know, 180,000 joints between then and now that my lungs would be in the exact same shape that they're in today.

1:18:56BubblemanAnd as a 53 year old man, I'm stoked to have, like, feel good in my lungs and in my body. So, you know, I'm going to enjoy some joints, but I'm never going to go back to smoking 50 grams of flour a day. That was just outrageous, dude. But the world is changing, dude. The world is changing. I'm smoking joints.

1:19:19SpeakerYou know, there's so much rosin and hash and stuff out there right now that it's almost like Like we did a lot of pioneering with some of this stuff and everything like that, but it's almost like a lot of people don't have a clue. Well, it's amazing, dude. I love it.

1:19:40BubblemanIt's so good. Because in a sense, it's good in the sense that people still don't have a clue, which means it's still fairly easy to succeed if you're a lifer. If you just like, I'm a lifer. I'm stuck in this forever, dude. I can't do anything else. Like, what the fuck am I going to do? I don't have anything else. I've always been doing this. There's nothing else for me to do.

1:20:01BubblemanSo I kind of tell my partners even, it's like, look, I want to make this work with you guys for sure. But just understand that if you give up, I am absolutely not giving up. I'll just continue on to do this with the next group of people who are inspired to want to do it. I'm a lifer. I'm stuck in this for sure. And you're definitely not wrong.

1:20:23BubblemanThere's a ton of people involved now that are kind of new people that don't really know. Some are exceptional. There are some exceptional people who have kind of come out from the scholarly world, the university world, people who really studied for cannabis to get into cannabis jobs, which is awesome. I think that's amazing. And I still meet people even today that are new, younger people that have just, you know, have only been in this for a very short period of time.

1:20:52BubblemanBut I recognize the passion they have. It's like the same passion that we have kind of thing. And so the fact that that's still being born and growing up and being created into the cannabis industry, it gives me hope. You know, there's always... You know, you always want to look for the younger guys that are going to take the baton and take it to that next level because we can't do it all.

1:21:14BubblemanWe just, I mean, ATN maybe can do close to all of it, but no one else.

1:21:18SpeakerOne of my favorite things from Hash Church and being on YouTube and doing all this type of stuff is meeting people. in the most random places that know you from the show and like i i threw out this bag of leaf at the dump here last year a couple years ago and stuff and and i went back to grab it because i was holy you guys put that in there like come on let's get got the boys jump in the dumpster and grab fish it out because it's good hash right there and uh the kid beside me and his dad he's like you're d420k aren't you and i'm like yeah and he goes What's in the bag there?

1:21:56SpeakerYou throwing some fucking shit out? I'm like, I accidentally was thrown out because this stuff's good shit to make ass with. I'm going to make some ass. She's like, wow, man. So excited. And meeting guys that have taken our inspiration and even perfected, like, I mean, the operations procedures of these guys are so precise and intricate and perfect. And what they get out of it is stuff that I remember we were pressing hash and we were going, why the fuck are they pressing that?

1:22:32SpeakerLike, fuck, we should just be pressing flour. The hash is too good to be pressing. And we were doing that before they were pressing it by putting it in boiling water and stuff, melting the dry sift and everything. And then the rosin comes out and then we're doing flour and then And then people are doing the dry sift or the fucking, the absolute unbelievable bubble hash that they're making with the freezers and everything else.

1:22:58BubblemanIt's like, wow.

1:23:00SpeakerYeah.

1:23:01BubblemanYou and I got hurt pressing hash.

1:23:04SpeakerOh, fuck my shoulder. I remember that.

1:23:07BubblemanDude, we were like, let's make an ounce of rosin on my deck and we quit at 14 grams.

1:23:15SpeakerI couldn't even ride my bike very good. I had to wait a few days to go up to back up to PG.

1:23:19BubblemanI was hurt for like 11 days. I'm not even joking. Yeah, yeah. That was before I was taking care of my body, though. I wasn't lifting weights or I wasn't working out or anything. I was I was weak inside my body.

1:23:31SpeakerDoes your boy ever practice with those throwing knives?

1:23:36BubblemanOh, gosh, yeah. We played with those like crazy, dude. Are you kidding me? Right. Fuck, dude, those things are psychotic. Fucking giant throwing knives.

1:23:47SpeakerYou can live or you can survive with those, man, right there.

1:23:51BubblemanYeah, well, hopefully it doesn't get to that. Yeah, true. Fuck yeah.

1:23:59SpeakerNo, you can't.

1:24:00BubblemanWell, exactly. That is true. That is true.

1:24:03SpeakerIt's better to be a warrior in the garden than a gardener in a war.

1:24:08BubblemanWow. Isn't that the truth? Isn't that the truth? I love my garden. I got a few plants out of my deck. I got some plants that are at a buddy's house that I got to go pick up. And I got some other plants that are at another buddy's house. So I should have maybe 20 or so plants out on the deck today. I got that haze out there right now from Tom Hill's buddy here in Canada.

1:24:30BubblemanFor whatever reason, this haze, I got it. And I, you know, I kept it kind of under a small light and I slowly brought it towards... This thing just would not grow. It like... I would say that it sat in like in stasis for like maybe two or three months and did not grow at all. I was so confused by it. I was like, I've never seen a plant like this in my life.

1:24:52BubblemanIt was a little clone and it just stayed little now. I probably had it for over three months and it's probably just this tall, but it's now starting to branch and starting to grow. So I can tell whatever it was doing, it's reverted to going back and actually producing veg. So I'm looking forward to having a nice tall haze plant. And before it starts to flower, I'm definitely going to take some cuts and, you know, get some cuts to some of my buddies because, ah, you know, it's 16 weeks.

1:25:21BubblemanEveryone should have a nice 16 week hazer.

1:25:27BubblemanYeah, exactly. All right. Well, I think it's time for a little puffy puff puff co with D420K.

1:25:34Etienne FontanFuck yeah. Oh, guess who's done with his joint now. Oh, snap.

1:25:40BubblemanSo you how do you feel after that joint with the CBD and the dabs? Like, do you feel the CBD really kind of keeping you from getting super high or do you just get a really lovely?

1:25:50Etienne FontanI don't get a not high from CBD. I get a more relaxed state. I get the medicinal. I get the both, you know, not high.

1:25:59BubblemanIt's a it definitely affects the potency of the high.

1:26:08Etienne FontanYeah, depending on what you put in it. Like I said, I put, you know, there's 10 dots of dabs in there too. So, you know, the mix is a nice vibration. That is, it's for me, it's again, it's my morning coffee. So it's just kind of waking.

1:26:23BubblemanYou're right to dabs after that.

1:26:25Etienne FontanWell, you can't smoke hash all day if you don't start in the morning.

1:26:30BubblemanThat's true. That is true. My friend, Ganja Goddess, just posted that. I've shared it on my story today. Now we have to share it because why not? But yeah, she literally, that's what she wrote on her thing. This is her right here. This is the Ganja Goddess. This girl is so cool and nice. She went and hung out with us. She's in Illinois, big supporter. But these words right here next to the screen, Say you can't smoke hash all day if you don't start in the morning.

1:27:05BubblemanSo shout out to Alexis and her brothers. I know you're watching.

1:27:09Etienne FontanThere's a great saying, a puff of keef in the morning makes his man as strong as a hundred camels in the courtyard. I have that. It's Rick Griffin did a poster of it and I have a copy of one. I have to get it framed, but it's a drawing of a hookah.

1:27:31BubblemanDid you get your hash church picture from Skully Vibes?

1:27:36Etienne FontanYeah, I have to frame that. Me too. I'm going to frame that and I'm going to frame all of my mossy giants and I'm going to start replacing my art around my room with that because my friend Michael is sending me a Doonesbury and a Bloom County that are both cannabis ones. And so I'm framing those too. So I have so many, yeah, things I need to frame that I need to just start doing it.

1:28:06Etienne FontanDo it, man.

1:28:07BubblemanWe did it at the Reserve. Kyle has so many incredible, he's got so many Skully Vibes. He's got Vincent Gordons. He's got Chris Dyer. He's got like just incredible art all over the place. He must have like 10 or 15 Skully Vibes and they are awesome, dude. That guy, I really, really, really like Skully's art.

1:28:27Etienne FontanYeah, I've got a couple of Alex Gray's to print up too. That, yeah.

1:28:33Etienne FontanI like and appreciate good art too. Yeah. And especially more modern stuff like that. It's really, you know, to get and capture stuff like that, it's hard to do and get collections of it. Yeah, I get why people do that too.

1:28:51Etienne FontanWhat you puffing on?

1:28:53BubblemanOh my God, I'm puffing on the Love Affair 3. This one right here. I really quite like it. It's wet and shiny and good.

1:29:05Etienne FontanWhat makes it a love affair? I always love hearing how genetics come about.

1:29:09BubblemanYou know what? I don't know. My buddy brought me this. He brought me a bunch of different dabs. And unfortunately, a ton of them smelt and tasted like carrots. I.E. He aged it poorly. It just it's that keratoid. I don't know what exactly it is, but it's not fresh, good, new rosin. And so those I didn't hit at all. But a few like three of the jars, one was like this love affair.

1:29:33BubblemanOne was a lemon runts, and one was called something loud, London loud. And it was like the lightest, yellowest color of rosin that I'd seen in a long time. All three of them were very, very lovely. Actually, he also had one, a talimon, and that one was the best. It had a beautiful, strong banana flavor. But unfortunately, you know, that was four of the jars were great, and four of the jars were literally like carrot herbs.

1:30:04BubblemanNever, never fun.

1:30:06SpeakerHave you had dark rosin that you liked?

1:30:10BubblemanUm, yeah, I don't know. Yes, probably. I can't. There's been some for sure. I don't know what it is. It's not just psychological, though. There's definitely something to do with like the when the like, well, for instance, when the terpenes that Tony made were clear, they were my favorite. And when I started trying other people's terpenes that were yellow, I I didn't like them. And it had nothing against the color yellow.

1:30:38BubblemanI mean, yellow gold is usually really good in the world of hash, but in the world of terps, it's subpar. It means that something's been heated too much that the degradation is now visible. Whereas when you're running that through the minus 80 Celsius chiller and you're precipitating those terpenes back into a liquid, they precipitate back clear. And that I really like. Really, really like. So I don't know.

1:31:04BubblemanI mean, I definitely like dark hash. You know what I mean? Like, I can definitely say I like, I love dark hash. Rosin does not age well. It's something I prefer to preserve. I don't like to age it. In fact, I would rather preserve bubble hash than age it as well.

1:31:22Etienne FontanBut when it comes to that, when you say that, how would you preserve it for somebody who's just watching and wondering how would I preserve this?

1:31:30BubblemanWell, preservation is going to be coolness. So it's a cold supply chain. So you're going to want to put it into now if it's flour, you can probably get away with a fridge. But I will say there are a lot of hashes that are of too high a quality and most rosins will be that way, that cooling them. And that actually freezing them, getting them in a much, much colder environment, just an environment so the volatiles aren't moving like this.

1:32:01BubblemanYou know, if they can be moving like barely moving, then less degradation over time, more preservation. So for me, room temperature or warmer is going to Aaron Wiggins, Ed.D.A.T.I.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.T.E.S.

1:32:43BubblemanCuring or aging is like at room temperature. I will say that this hash that I've had sitting at room temperature for quite a while now just smells like the most quintessential Indian Nepali hash. I can't. I can't even get over it. And this is what hash does. We are used to hash that has been aged for fairly, like it's not like these people in different countries have this super quick process of growing and making the hash and getting it to market.

1:33:15BubblemanSometimes it would take years. You'd get the hash. It would be a couple of years old. They cured it. They aged it. Well, when you age out all of those, it's funny because new hash is all about preserving every single monoterpene, terpene, terpenoid, thiol, thiolate, ester, aldehyde, preserving it all. Old hash is actually about curing most of them out until you're left with a very specific group of volatile organic compounds that are able to A, Stick around the longest, beta-caryophyllene.

1:33:46BubblemanThat's why it's peppery. Beta-caryophyllene, why do they train drug dogs with it? Because it's the one that transfers the most. It's the one that lives the longest. It's the one that sticks around. It's the funk. It just hangs out. It goes from bag to hand to shirt to hat. It transfers better than any other terpene. And so that's what the drug dogs are training these, were being trained with back in the day.

1:34:09BubblemanSo cash. On one end, traditional hash is very much like a very specific volatile organic profile with the majority of everything removed. New bubble hash and live hash rosin is all of it. It's all of it. So they really are different ends of the spectrum. And as a hash lover, I appreciate both ends of those spectrums in a big way. So preserve your bubble hash and your...

1:34:39BubblemanLive hash rosin and cure your old hash. This now is eight months old this fall. It's been just sitting in an open bag at room temperature. This one, which I think was a higher grade, it actually, there we go. Look at this fucking thing, dude. Nice and glossy. Dude. That is the funk. So soft as well. It's very soft.

1:35:18Etienne FontanOh, man.

1:35:22Etienne FontanYeah. Look at D420. His mouth's open. He's like, oh.

1:35:29BubblemanOh, my God, dude. It's just beautiful. Not for sale, just for educational purposes. Ba-blam.

1:35:38Etienne FontanOh my God, dude. That hash machine smell, huh?

1:35:42BubblemanThat hash machine, it's just that old school hash versus the new school hash. They're such different things. And I just want to see a large, I will tell you, if you are in the hash world, you're a young hash maker and you're trying to make your play. Don't ignore the roots of hash. Don't ignore it. Learn to pay homage, learn about the cultures, learn about the people who were involved, and then learn about the techniques and learn about how to make hash like that and learn to have a relationship with hash like that that is not the rocket ship to the moon, okay?

1:36:17BubblemanAnd sometimes I feel that, You know, I don't know if a lot of us are OCD, autistic, whatever you want to call it, but we're definitely a very unique group of people who seem to be called to this. And I think that the same way we find this incredible value in these high grade full melt bubbles, static sifts, and live hash rosins, I think a lot of people are missing the value of traditional hash and how it could help them kind of relax, not take these rocket ship moon rides, you know, like but but a warm hug, a grilled cheese and a tomato soup.

1:36:47BubblemanIt also has its value. And it took me quite a while because when I wasn't smoking joints, I also wasn't really... I was still making traditional hashes, but I wasn't smoking them as much. And it wasn't until I came out with the product Hash Hits that I learned to open up this door to having a relationship with hash that is not the highest grade hash in the world.

1:37:09BubblemanYou know what I mean? It's mediocre to the people who are at that level. They look at this and think that's just mediocre at best. But what I would say is... They're missing something. And I'm not missing it anymore. This one is Bubble Up, 44% THC on this one.

1:37:33BubblemanOh, there we go. See how it's doing it for Hash, but it won't do it for fucking Bud, that's it? Must be my camera.

1:37:45Etienne FontanDefinitely you could see the hash there for sure.

1:37:46BubblemanIt looked like chocolate on the inside. Oh, dude, it's it feels like just so yummy and good. Not to mention what a nice thing. I gave a piece of that very hash to my buddy Mike recently. It was his birthday. I didn't get to go to his birthday because I was in Colorado. But I did get to give him my wife brought him a nice little piece of hash in the jar and he just thanked me for it the other day.

1:38:07BubblemanAnd what a great thing to be able to do. One of my favorite things about federal legalization is to be able to gift product to people. My own handmade, made by me. Here, I can just give you this. You know, I think I can give up to maybe an ounce, I believe is the limit. So it's, and I could mail it across the country to Newfoundland, or I could send it up to PG, up to D420K.

1:38:29BubblemanHey, D420K, is it true that they scooped up all the... Homeless people in Vancouver and brought them up to PG. Are you seeing that?

1:38:39SpeakerOh, buddy. Did they do that? We are so close, this whole community, about getting together. There's this poor little lady named Kira Hammerstrom that all of a sudden all these Vancouver street transients and whoever they are are bussed up here. All of a sudden a girl goes missing. And this girl has been missing since. And there's a big family here and they're bad, bad asses, man. They don't fuck around.

1:39:07SpeakerThey're going to, if they, I hope they do catch this guy because he's going to get it. These people will...

1:39:17BubblemanSo they brought all the homeless people or a big chunk of them. I heard Kamloops got a bunch. This is for FIFA, Etienne. We have FIFA in town right now.

1:39:26SpeakerPrince George, Dawson Creek, Fort St. John. How did they get them there? By bus. Bus and money.

1:39:37Etienne FontanThey just got them all together in the middle of the night and put them on a bus and shipped them out?

1:39:42SpeakerYeah. Yeah, and then they got 10 cities everywhere. Well, these 10 cities, they built tiny homes. They set up like four or six ATCO camp trailers, brand new. Everybody's got a room, you know, a bathroom. Like they're fucking living large, man, for free and everything. Every single time for the last, for five years, for the whole time they've had 10 city there, those buildings would be burnt to the ground within a month.

1:40:12SpeakerEvery one of them. Because of the mental illness and stuff that people are having out there with the addictions, with their traumas, with everything else, some of these people really do need some frigging help to be housed, to be monitored.

1:40:28BubblemanThey're not just drug addicted. That's right. That is a side quest of what they're going through.

1:40:34SpeakerThat's right. And you know, the drug addiction, the guys that are up here, like yesterday by Costco, the fentanyl hump, Of the back, the lean. There was this dude that was almost bent right over and his whole spine and back looked like something off of like a reptile show. Like it looked like something that he was mutating into a fucking dinosaur or something like that. It was a big lizard.

1:41:00SpeakerIt's just it's just horrible. And, you know, that's the drug addiction part. But there's the more of a majority of the mental illness that's going on out there. And with that mental illness mixed with drugs, milk with alcohol, mixed with homelessness, mixed with despair, hunger, like, man, I don't know how they can get away with doing that stuff. They can send billions of dollars to anywhere for wars and for foods and for everything else.

1:41:33SpeakerAnd that's for soccer. For fucking soccer, bro. Why can't they spend money on building more hospitals and places for these guys?

1:41:40BubblemanThe sooner you can acknowledge that the people who rule the world are possessed by demonic intelligence, the sooner you... Oh, that's obvious, yeah. Yeah, so that's why. That's why. They're fucking demons, dude.

1:41:54SpeakerYeah, they're harvesting children and everything like that, selling human meats to McDonald's and Wendy's.

1:41:58BubblemanAnd people know it and people, it's like, oh, whatever. You know, the Epstein, when those Epstein files came out, I thought, oh my God, this is going to rock the whole world. Everything's going to collapse and crumble. And it's like, all it really did was get everyone focused on one guy where it's like, dude, isn't there like thousands of people like that were doing that, like in those files?

1:42:18BubblemanWhat is going on?

1:42:20SpeakerIt's like the Picton. Picton was the... That's what I'm saying. He was protected, dude.

1:42:25BubblemanThat guy was so protected. First of all, the amount of like high level... The police chief used to go and hang out at Picton's, bro. The police chief. It's like, what? So this is what Etienne was saying. You got to find the positive. You know, it's good not to ignore any little bit of good that you can do in the world is better than bad, obviously. I mean, look, it's hard.

1:42:51BubblemanIt's easy for us to sit around and say, listen, it's easy for all of us to listen. Hey, you're right. This homelessness is horrible. Like these people need help. But like, how many of us are willing to move them into our homes? It's like, ooh, well, I don't want to go that far. Isn't there another way I can help? So it's just impossible to be a human being sometimes.

1:43:11BubblemanThe more you know, the harder it gets. It's almost ignorance is truly bliss. Remember when that piece of shit in the Matrix rats on everyone and he's eating the steak and he's like, even though I know the steak isn't real and it's just a computer telling those synapses in my brain that it's delicious, he's like, I don't care. You know what I mean? Just like, ah, dude, that's it.

1:43:36BubblemanHe's why the world is so fucked right now. That whole metaphor of him doing that to his crew and for like, so we can enjoy steak and shit is just absolutely unbelievable to me. That Matrix movie hit hard.

1:43:53SpeakerPerfect description of a rat piece of fucking shit.

1:43:58BubblemanYeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. The ultimate like, oh, what are you doing? And sending those like robot demon things, you know, those, you know, it's not like they just sent like the police to kick their door down. It was like, this is like some crazy next level Terminator shit. yeah you know there's a conspiracy that a black woman wrote the matrix and the terminator movies and that they are they are connected in the sense that it's like the terminator movies were first and then the matrix is what ended up happening afterwards and i guess uh you know she her story is that she got had it taken from that the cameron or whoever it was that did the movies but Definitely an interesting little rabbit hole to go down in regards to those two movies because they are on another level.

1:44:49BubblemanThe Matrix and the Terminator. Let's not go there. Who knows? Maybe we're there. Maybe we're all in little orbs right now thinking we're out in the world living and moving and talking and doing all of this stuff. But really, it's just the computer telling the synapses in our brain that this is what's happening. Who fucking knows?

1:45:07Etienne FontanWell, then, you know, if that was the case, then, you know, it's not the case. You can still have an effect. But here's a positive one that we had an effect on this week. Ukraine's first legal medical cannabis products were dispensed to military veterans and women with MS. And I helped directly contribute to that as well as Michael Krawitz in our group for our work at the UN.

1:45:34Etienne FontanSo again, positives, little things, little victories. Now, how'd that happen? Well, we went to the UN. I've been going to the UN for years. Michael's been going again since the 90s. But since 2022, I've been doing events. And then 2023, I started going to the UN. And it's been an education. But while being there and wearing our... Veterans Action Council hats. Other countries search our little hats and what we're wearing and realize that we were cannabis experts.

1:46:11Etienne FontanSo we were then, you know, introduced by four different people, representatives from the Ukrainian government that were looking for medical cannabis. Then they got their medical cannabis, but they didn't have PTSD. So we've provided them with information regarding that. And So to see this week that they're, you know, people with MS and veterans are getting cannabis due to our work directly feels pretty damn good. So I highly recommend that pretty damn good feeling by contributing and doing something.

1:46:45Etienne FontanYou never know. It can start off just by something as very simple as providing literature and information, introducing somebody to someone. And then next thing you know, Thank you so much for joining us today.

1:47:24BubblemanYeah, that is positive change. I feel too like the more that we have these particular positive changes, the more we can take care of the most vulnerable people, the more we'll get to the population of the world who shouldn't have to wait to become sick to enjoy and love cannabis. And we will start being able to just just making it accessible for everyone. is like it's so important i don't want to wait until i have some sickness or disease before someone's willing to you know i'm in canada so it's a little different we have full access but the rest of the world does not the rest of the world a lot of the rest of the world has no medical right that's like the worst and then there's a huge part of the rest of the world that is just medical i found when it was just medical it was decent but once it became recreational in canada It changed.

1:48:17BubblemanNow it was something substantial. Now it was about the prevented. It was about preventing sickness rather than creating it through the consumption of alcohol. It was actually about you could prevent it just by eating gummies or, you know, enjoying a spliff. These are things like that. People don't really know until they have, there's a massive amount of people who will not use cannabis until it becomes federally legal.

1:48:43BubblemanAnd that blew my mind in Canada. I didn't realize that. It grew a bit with medical, but when it became federally legal, I'd see people I never thought in a million years using cannabis. And I'd be like, well, how, why are you not just using cannabis? And they're like, well, it's legal now. Just so matter of factly, like so deeply like, oh, it's, well, it's legal. I'm like, that's the only thing that was keeping you from doing it.

1:49:05BubblemanThey were just like, well, yeah, that was a pretty big thing, man. Like I got a job. I got to go over the border. I got this. I got that. I just I can't. That was just not worth the tradeoff for me. But the minute it became federally legal, all of a sudden, a huge percentage of people were willing to try it, which I think is why.

1:49:23BubblemanIt was easy for companies to come in and grow lower grade flour because it all still sold to these people who didn't know any different. And in their defense, it was very similar for me. I smoked Mexican brick and, you know, like just I didn't smoke the best weed my first time. I was like a little 15 year old kid that had zero connections. And I just had to find the sketchiest people that I could find.

1:49:45BubblemanAnd they usually would be like, oh yeah, I'll sell weed to a kid.

1:50:09BubblemanThank God for the sketchy people. You know, back then I might have been judging them a little bit, mostly because I was terrified. I'll never forget this brat, this guy, Brad, I used to buy flour from in Winnipeg. And he had a really weird face. And I found out later that is like his whatever these bones are called under your orbital lobe, your cheekbones. They were like smashed out of his face.

1:50:30BubblemanLike people smashed him with a two by four because he like was so sketchy, robbed them, did all sorts of bullshit. And this was one of my first weed dealers that I got weed from. It's just like, oh, my God, like you should not be sending young people to places like this. Imagine that's who you they just don't understand the picture. The prohibition mindset does not understand.

1:50:53BubblemanThat you are sending the lamb to slaughter when you prohibit. You create pathways where the lamb goes to slaughter. You create a pathway where you create an environment for a very parasitic group of people to take advantage of a very green group of people who are just like, I don't. Which is kind of what happened in the legal market with companies selling, you know, just the schwag of the schwag and people buying it to the tune of millions and millions of dollars.

1:51:21BubblemanIt's pretty shocking, but it is what it is.

1:51:26BubblemanIt is what it is, Etienne.

1:51:30Etienne FontanAnything new in science this week that come up?

1:51:34BubblemanYou know, I am in that science group that you just joined, which is just like, I have a hard time keeping up with that group. The one that Stefan runs, the homeostasis group. It's very, like, it's just nonstop. Cannabinoids may help protect the brain. I don't know how new that is, but research suggests cannabinoids can reduce neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, two processes linked to neuronal damage. Neuronal damage.

1:52:04BubblemanMichigan weed growers shop in its property to data center developers as the cannabis market crumbles. No! Michigan's rough. I love how they say the cannabis market crumbles when they just issued a 24% tax for the cannabis industry to pay for all of the roads and potholes in the entire state of Michigan. There's like no other group they're collecting money from for that particular process. Now, correct me if I'm wrong.

1:52:28BubblemanI heard this from people in Michigan, in the mitten, as we call it. For those of you in the mitten, I was over here. This is how they do it in Michigan. Did you know that at 10, they'll tell you where they live in Michigan by holding their hand up and be like, oh, I'm up in the UP. I'm over in Monroe.

1:52:43Etienne FontanWe do this in West Virginia because I used to go to college over here in Morgantown. Do they do that? Yeah, yeah, because it's shaped just like that. This is the state of West Virginia.

1:52:54BubblemanI wonder how many states there are that they do that because the mitten.

1:52:57Etienne FontanWell, I'm from Louisiana originally.

1:52:59BubblemanOh, shit. That's hilarious, dude. That is hilarious.

1:53:06Etienne FontanI guess this would be California. Oh, my God. Oh, hello. Who's that, D4? You're muted. This is Joe. Joe Dirt. Joe Dirt. Oh, Joe. Hi, Joe. You're a cutie. How old is Joe?

1:53:25SpeakerHe's three, three or four.

1:53:27BubblemanDude, you got a little buddy there? Do you know one of my favorite runs on Blackcomb Mountain, which is going towards Seventh Heaven on the upper road, you can drop into this run called Where's Joe? And Joe was a pipe that Ski Patrol had hidden on the mountain years prior. And people would go and find Joe and have a puff and then put Joe back away. And it was in fact my buddy Joe, who we were skiing together, who told me that story.

1:54:01BubblemanAnd I dropped in with Joe. Shout out to Joe Wozni. Rest in peace, brother. We miss you. We dropped into Where's Joe. We looked for the pipe. We couldn't find it. But that's an awesome name for your dog, dude. Joe Dirt. Classic. Classic movie.

1:54:15SpeakerWe have a mullet on him and everything for Joe Dirk, right? And then this is Dab. She's like eight years old. Scruffy old girl. Dude, so you got your dogs back? Yes. Yes. That was... I just said I'm going to come down and get my dogs. And I'll come down with like 30 people and we'll stand out front of your place and have a barbecue and a hangout right in front of your house until the neighbors call the police and...

1:54:43SpeakerI have the paperwork for the dogs and the police will come and they'll ask what's going on. And I'll just, I'm just here picking my dogs up. I got my paperwork here if I need to prove it and that's about it. And then she'd give them up. And you know, the whole situation, man, we won't get into on here. We'll talk again, but everything's worked out in the way of my dogs.

1:55:06SpeakerShe took my big screen TV too. And you know what?

1:55:10Etienne FontanI just went and got a 75 inch big screen from went from 60 to 75 just yesterday.

1:55:16SpeakerSo I was like, you know, whatever material shit I do not care about. But the dogs, he was holding them hostage for $10,000 trying to get 10 grand out of me. And I was just like, and then five grand. And then I was just like, no, I'll just come down, have a nice peaceful little hangout in front of your house and make you look like an idiot.

1:55:38SpeakerYou're muted.

1:55:41SpeakerYou're muted, buddy.

1:55:44BubblemanI said, I'm just so glad you got Dabs and Joe Derte back. It's Derte, right? It's French.

1:55:49SpeakerJoe, yeah, yeah. But you know what I'm doing through all of this BS, I'm being a nice civil person because that's what needs to be done. I don't want to split those dogs up because one's hers, one's mine. And those dogs are just perfect together. You should see a play fight every single day. They're just little nuts. And you know, they're the only two dogs that I know that screw without her being in fucking heat.

1:56:18BubblemanGot the dog screwing over there.

1:56:21SpeakerIt's fucking hilarious.

1:56:23BubblemanThey just love each other, man. That's all.

1:56:24SpeakerThey do. That's exactly it. So we're sharing the dogs. I give them to her for... Couple weeks at a time, I take them for a couple weeks at a time, back and forth. Well, that's nice. Well, kind of has to be like that. You know, I know the feeling that I get with my heart when they're not around.

1:56:46BubblemanDude, you're a reasonable dude and you have empathy, bro. Like for someone, dude, you have come a long way. I will say that about you. You have come a very long way. For someone who would have been willing to choose violence like maybe two decades ago to be able to be like, oh, you know what? I know how it makes me feel. So I'm thinking about how it makes her feel.

1:57:06BubblemanAnd even though she did me so dirty, I think she should have the dogs too. That's the bigger man right there, dude.

1:57:13SpeakerWell, I'm just doing it. Not to even be that, just, I think it's normal. It's a norm these days. It's what happens when I'm like this. It's, you know, the stuff that happens when I break down in the middle of nowhere that I'm literally looked after like I'm a long lost son or relative from the fucking guy and stuff like that. And the people, like, it's just good luck, man.

1:57:38SpeakerLike I've, man, sometimes I'm struggling to pay the rent, but it always comes. Here's a story for you. I'm up in Dawson Creek working at a job that's only two or three days a week. It's not doing enough. I got a $6,000 engine I'm fixing in my truck so I can use it for work. And I don't have it. I'm bored with my buddy's truck. I'm in between jobs and I'm thinking to myself for a couple of days, holy shit, man, how am I going to get that truck fixed?

1:58:07SpeakerAnd I'm driving from Dawson Creek, Prince George, And through the Pine Pass by Powder King. And there's a small three kilometer cell service area. And I got a call. And I answer it. And it says, is this Darren Massey? And I'm like, I just usually hang up on these calls because it's usually some kind of scammer. But I said, yeah, this is Darren. What's going on? And this guy says, well, this is such and such company and all that.

1:58:37SpeakerAnd he says, you're pre-approved for a loan. That you could pick up if you wanted to anytime and all that. I got a loan for what? What are you talking about? He explained a little more. And that guy approved me, right? I pulled over on the side of the highway while I was in cell service still. And that guy approved me a $7,000 loan, which I went there the next day when I got into town, signed the papers, had the money in my account, and had the money to my mechanic and fixing my truck.

1:59:08SpeakerThings always work out. That is wild, dude. If you believe, you know, there's...

1:59:15BubblemanI say it all the time. It's not even... It's about when you manifest, and this is, I believe this deeply, that you won't recognize... How it comes. And you'll almost be given an opportunity to push it away because you're not recognizing it, right? This is why Jesus always showed up as a bum, as a homeless guy. He'd give people the opportunity to treat him poorly, at least metaphorically, if it happened or not.

1:59:42BubblemanThe story is the same story. You could have easily just fucking fuck you and hung up on him. But for whatever reason, you said, Well, yeah, this is Darren. What's up? And then now you have, you manifested that, but you also, it's like when we manifest it, it's like we're always given the opportunity first to fuck it up, to shit the bed, to do, to be like, to choose violence, to choose like, nah, fuck you and hang up and just be like, fucking, fucking scammer or not.

2:00:14BubblemanMaybe it's a $7,000 loan that's going to relief pressure off of you like you wouldn't fucking believe. But it showed up to you through an Indian call center. Do you know what I mean? Like where you're like, fuck, this is like gotta be a scam.

2:00:30SpeakerIt's never passed. Hello.

2:00:32BubblemanNever. But for some reason, without thinking. you were able to get past hello and that's the only reason it came through for you so that is if anyone watching the show if you want to know the gem for today i'll look right into the camera when i say it the gem is is that you will not man you will not recognize your manifestation if you're trying to get somewhere you might manifest the very thing that looks like the opposite of getting there so make sure That you are open to everything and that you're willing to not choose.

2:01:08BubblemanYou know, I'll use the story that I told recently about Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock. Herbie Hancock was young. He was playing for Miles Davis for the first time, maybe ever. I don't know. Maybe the first few times. You can Google the story. You could Google Herbie Hancock wrong note. Anyway, Herbie Hancock plays the wrong note while they're jamming. They're playing this incredible song. He plays the wrong note on his keyboards.

2:01:31BubblemanHe's fucking mortified. He can't even think about it in a split second instead of Miles Davis playing the next notes that were supposed to be played to make Herbie's wrong note sound wrong. Miles plays different notes. That makes Herbie's wrong note sound right. So what Darren did when he got the call is he played these notes instead of listening to, oh, this is the wrong note. I'm going to play a bunch more wrong notes.

2:02:00BubblemanHe played the notes that made that Wrong notes sound like the right note. And when you do that, you unlock the opportunity. Because of it, Darren got a $7,000 loan. For me, I started bubble bags. When that happened, I got arrested by a police officer with 16 pounds and six grand cash on the side of the road. And that was the beginning of Bubble Bags, which was the beginning of Hash Church, which was the beginning of, you know, everything that I've done with Bubble Man Brands since that.

2:02:27BubblemanIt all really like was blown into reality by my manifestation of first getting busted. And I would have never, ever, ever thought that my manifestation would show up as Constable John Lowe on the fucking side of the road in West Vancouver on that fateful day in 1998. You just never know, man.

2:02:50SpeakerAnd that's just a drop in the bucket of things that happen all the time. Yeah. It's just the way it is. You just got to have the right mindset and not be negative and jealousy and greed.

2:03:03BubblemanWell, it's temptation. All of those things I just put into temptation. And it's like you're tempted to play the wrong notes. You're like, you hear this note, you think it's the wrong note, and you want to play more wrong notes. And it's like, don't do that. You might have manifested this, you know, that's why I love jazz. It's improvisational. This is why I love jam bands like the Grateful Dead and String Cheese and Phish and Billy Strings and all of these different types of music because they're so improvisational that in the moment as they're doing it, They're opening doors that would otherwise, you could not just start with opening that door.

2:03:39BubblemanYou could never start a jam at the 36th minute of the jam. You have to play the first 35 minutes to get there. And so I love improvisation and I love pivoting and I love making sure that, and that's why I think a lot of the cannabis people, why we're resilient is because we are really, really, really willing to pivot And do whatever we got to do to continue to have this relationship with cannabis.

2:04:09BubblemanYeah, well, that sucks, dude. Sort of here, Grant Wiedner, who got busted with 40 pounds in 98. He was 18 years old. Damn, I'm guessing those maybe weren't your pounds, or maybe you were highly advanced at 18 and just had 40 pounds. It's random.

2:04:23SpeakerRemember them young boys in the Okanagan group? Young guys grew side of the mountain crops outdoors and grew thousands of pounds. Those boys made some money, man. Made some money. Yeah.

2:04:39BubblemanThey really did. When outdoor was a couple of thousand a pound. I know. And they're out there had no seeds and looked like greenhouse. Oh yeah.

2:04:47SpeakerFuck yeah.

2:04:48BubblemanProper. Yeah. Fucking A. I missed that. But at the same time, you know, I've been going to facilities. I was in a facility the other day. What facility? Oh, I was at my buddy Jay's house the other day, which was great. I was in the WAC visiting his place. I got a bunch of full melt bubble from him. It's actually down in my freezer right now. Otherwise, I'd be smashing it right now.

2:05:11BubblemanHe also grew this flower, this papaya something buds and this please wash me bud. He's got all the Grandmaster LEDs top and bottom under canopy.

2:05:21Etienne FontanHe's like, dude, there's no small buds.

2:05:23BubblemanI'm like, dude, that's what I told you, bro. If you put lights on underneath the plants, I don't know why it took us so long to figure out like, oh, if you put plants, lights under the plants, all the small buds somehow end up big. It's like somehow it's their lights, bro. That's what's growing the plants. Giving it enough of the right nutrients. So went and saw that.

2:05:42BubblemanThat was nice. I also went and saw a really nice facility in Colorado recently. Shout out to Ja Chin and his company, Cherry, the company he works for. Shout out to Vincent and Andrew, the owners there. Got to meet them as well after I did the tour. These guys are doing great things in Colorado, growing beautiful flower, a lot of beautiful products. They press rosin and make bubble and do pre-roll joints and Tim Ferriss, Tim Ferriss, Tim Ferriss, Tim Ferriss, Tim Ferriss,

2:06:21BubblemanBut yeah, got some great photos there. Really nice, beautiful flower. What I'm noticing, and maybe it's just where I get pulled to, the more and more grows that I go to, regardless of size, the flower is exceptional. People are really starting to get how to grow flower on a larger scale. And this is something that, of course, Skunk Man Sam always preached from the mountaintops that You can grow fire in fields.

2:06:49BubblemanYou know, a lot of people that I knew in the industry were like, I don't think you can. And then I would always say, well, maybe you can't, maybe I can't, but there definitely are people in agriculture who can grow, you know, fire material in, you know, on acres, at least a couple of, you know, two or three or four acres easily. I don't think that's too, too big.

2:07:12BubblemanJust reading the chat. It all starts with smoking hash in the morning. Well, I know I started this morning bright and early. Etienne came in with the hash infused flower CBD THC ripper. And now he's hitting his, oh, he's got his Puffco custom top. Look at that. If you hold it low enough, you can think that it's a glass pipe. I might have to get into the, you know what?

2:07:33BubblemanI'll put my custom top on, bro. Just because I haven't hit it in so long. Check my, hey, D420K, did you go away? Because you're going to love this custom top. Check this shit out.

2:07:46Etienne FontanNice. Oh, that's hilarious.

2:07:51BubblemanIt's a Bowman. Yeah. That's funny.

2:07:57SpeakerThat's nice.

2:07:58Etienne FontanIs that funny? That's great, man.

2:08:03BubblemanYeah, yeah, kind of, kind of ridiculous. Oh, shit. I got this bad boy here too. I can hit the mothership. Look at that fucking thing. Very nice. Smells a little resin. He might have to clean her up a bit. Also got this little guy sitting here. I love this little guy because it's just fits in my hand. But we'll hit the Bowman. Let's do a rip of the Bowman.

2:08:27BubblemanYou can't smoke all day if you don't start in the morning. That's kind of the motto of the day, it seems. Goat, who just mentioned that in chat. My big brother loves collecting Coleman lanterns. I'll have to buy him one of those. You can get it at Hemperco Tavern. Hemperco, which I think is a very mainstream like China glass company. They got in touch with me. These companies have been getting in touch with me for a very long time.

2:08:52BubblemanAnd I usually go on their website and I look and I'm like, oh, this is just like really like nothing that I'm really going to enjoy. Well, I got to give it up to Hemper Co. because they surprised me. First of all, what I was doing with them, and I'll be full disclosure, I was getting stuff for my uncle. My uncle's a hermit. He lives in a cabin.

2:09:09BubblemanYou know, he doesn't, you know, he's not buying a bunch of glass or whatever. So what I got him was I got him two of these Hemper. They were like, we'll send you whatever. I was like, well, I like those Hemper bongs, Hemper bongs, the Bowman's. So my uncle has two bongs like this. They aren't puff coat tops. He's got one that's about this big and one that's about this big.

2:09:27BubblemanAnd then they threw this in for me. So I got two bongs for my uncle and one top for me. So, you know, honestly, and I'll be, I'll be very honest. It's been great. It hasn't like broken. It hasn't like chip. There's no weird paint on it. It doesn't taste weird. It doesn't, you know, like I've been harsh on a lot of these companies. That being said, I have partners in China.

2:09:50BubblemanWe make lights in China. I make equipment in China. When you have the integrity, you can make great shit in China with the right partners. And this fucking thing is thick and feels good. And I'm not usually one to, you know, to promote the China glass, but You know, these guys are doing a pretty cool job. I also don't think that a product like this is really taking away from the North American glass floor.

2:10:14BubblemanIt's, you know, like copying everything they do is definitely shitty. But if you're making your own, you know, kind of cool little tops and stuff, I think it's kind of kind of cool. And so there it is. I'm going to hit a I'm going to hit a Coleman right now. If you're watching Uncle Jill, this one's for you, buddy. I did put a dab in there. What are you hitting there, D, Mothership Ball Rig?

2:10:39BubblemanOr you're muted. Nice to see you today, Darren.

2:10:46SpeakerYou too, buddy. My brother. My brothers. Puffing on the phone.

2:10:51Etienne FontanBeen way too long, sir. Been way too long.

2:10:55SpeakerYep. Well, life catches up and takes a hold and control sometimes, right? And it's sometimes to try to make it a little different, make some changes.

2:11:11BubblemanChanges are good. One of my favorite Ozzy Osbourne songs, Changes.

2:11:16SpeakerYeah, you bet.

2:11:16BubblemanIt might have even been a Sabbath song.

2:11:18SpeakerWas it Sabbath? It was a Sabbath first, yeah. It was old. It was old, yeah. It was Ozzy, yeah.

2:11:24BubblemanLove that song, dude.

2:11:28BubblemanI was a big Ozzy fan when I was like nine years old. Like, and Black Sabbath. I got turned on to Black Sabbath so early, which led me into kind of all the metal bands.

2:11:43BubblemanYes, single source. We're trying to get into Ontario. We're working on it. We're in the middle of applying to the OCS and the SQC to get into Quebec and Ontario and maybe BC. I got to phone those guys and see what's going on, but we're working on it.

2:12:02BubblemanYeah, good old heady glass. It was nice. I still love it. Don't get me wrong. I got my ship and I, you know, I got this old Max Poland double bubbler, which is like as heady as fuck. It's got the crushed opal, old school Max Poland marble, like just fucking epic work all the way around the pipe, both chambers, you know, right to the bottom. Um, just, I'll always appreciate glass like this.

2:12:28BubblemanIt'll always be kind of, uh, You know, something that I have. And I've got a box full of it up there. So I'm hoping eventually to get it all out. Maybe I'll bring it to the reserve in Colorado, bring it over there and put it on display. And it's better to have it than just in boxes. But I have some beautiful glass in the boxes up there that's old Marcel's and, you know, things that were just...

2:12:54BubblemanSparse back in the day. It was like a unique time when we were all buying glass, you know, like, fuck these pieces over my shoulder right here. Remember these ones, D? These ones sold for like, I want to say $250,000, like all three of these.

2:13:10SpeakerAnd we're smoking out of them like fucking mad at that one hotel. Absolutely. The charcuterie boards, the fucking $12, $14 grill table. Peanut butter and jam sandwiches with no crust and a glass of milk at the end. Like the fucking food. I got those pictures up on Instagram, on my Instagram shit. The foods were, everything was always about the food. You're a foodie, man.

2:13:35BubblemanYou're a foodie. You love, you're like, I want to go fucking eat. I'm like, oh, where do you want to go? He's like, I don't know, but it's got to be good.

2:13:42SpeakerYeah. Oh, yeah. Fuck sure found lots of good places in Van. That's one of the things I want to do this summer is do another food tour. I haven't done a road trip on my bike in three years.

2:13:54BubblemanI'm in the same boat, dude. It'd be nice to hook up on the highway with you.

2:13:58SpeakerI've been putting 10,000 to 15,000 K on my bike for two months in the summers.

2:14:01BubblemanDo you remember when we got pulled over together?

2:14:05SpeakerWhat happened?

2:14:06BubblemanDon't you remember we got pulled over going up Cyprus?

2:14:10SpeakerOh, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we're just going a little too fast. He said he goes from the one corner where the rest stop is up. We don't patrol up there if you guys wanted to go fast or whatever.

2:14:21BubblemanHe was such a nice cop, dude.

2:14:23SpeakerYeah. Did we get tickets or warnings? I think he warned us.

2:14:28BubblemanYeah, because I don't, you know, like... And we were speeding, bro, like 40k or 30k over the speed limit, not like 10 or 5, on motors, on loud screaming eagle pipes. Oh, fuck. He was right. What happened was he was behind us, we didn't realize, and then someone was going slow in front of us, and we like ripped around them, and then he pulled us over.

2:14:52SpeakerYeah.

2:14:54BubblemanThat's a funny experience to have with you, though. Fuck, now me and D are just... Fucking dealing with this cop?

2:15:01SpeakerOh, man, I've had some dealings with the cops on the side of the road. I had this guy, this CN cop, okay? I didn't think CN cops had much jurisdiction in all this outside of the CN yard and the whale ray tracks, but they got a lot. I come in from a 100-kilometer zone into an 80 zone and then a 60, and he was going slow, and I went past him because I was a cocky young fucking biker.

2:15:27SpeakerAnd... The guy puts his lights on, pulls me over at McLeese Lake up here in the north. Then I get off my bike and he gets out of his car and I look at him. I go, you can't fucking pull me over. What do you think you're doing? And he just looks at me. What? I was like, did I stutter? You can't fucking pull me over. You're just a CN cop.

2:15:49SpeakerFucking go to your chain chucks. Beat it. Fuck, the guy was fucking livid. And then the police, the RCMP was coming towards him. And he started waving because I wasn't letting up at all. I was like, fuck you. You can't have my license. No, fuck off. Fucking beat it. Fuck you, copper. Just being a cocky little fuck. And this is, I was in my 20s. That was when I was real cocky on my bike thinking I'm bad.

2:16:13SpeakerAnd he pulls, he's just waving his arms, going right across the lane to stand in front of the cop car to pull him over. And he pulls him over. Cop gets out and he's looking at me and The cops knew me back then pretty good. And he goes, what's going on, Darren? I go, this is a fucking CN cop. They can't fucking pull me over. What do you think this is?

2:16:33SpeakerAnd the cop looks at me and goes, actually, man, they got more jurisdiction than we do. So I advise you to shut up, take your ticket, or we'll search you and your bike. You know, maybe we'll go that far. And I was like, okay.

2:16:52BubblemanOh, dude.

2:16:52SpeakerFuck, man, that cop was so fucking mad. And on my way back up from Van, in the same area, but different, I was just ripping on it, like as fast as I could on that little Dynas fucking super glide I had, my first bike. And I passed, the cop was coming down this way, but there was so much traffic that he couldn't turn around, because I seen him turn his lights on.

2:17:17SpeakerBut he couldn't quickly turn around everything. I just fucking hammered it harder and I just outran him, no problem. I've outran a few of them, fucking. My bike's now a 106 and it's stage four and it fucking honks, man. Like when I crank the throttle, the back end, it just, it's like it honkers right down and just grabs. It's fucking, you'll see. Chance got a bunch of stuff done to his motor.

2:17:45SpeakerIt was one 14 or something new and stock or something like that. And 13. And, uh, he didn't, I didn't know one year. So his bike was faster than mine. So I didn't let him know. And I got my one Oh six kit, put in my bike and everything like that. And our first road trip, he comes to get me and I'm, we cruise out about 50 kilometers out of Prince George on our first day of the road trip.

2:18:09SpeakerAnd we get to this big hill and this straight stretch. I looked over at him, I gave it a crank, and he fucking thought, oh yeah, you want to race? And I'm like, fucking, he starts giving it. I just dropped a gear, and I left him in the fucking dust, man, and he was just like, what the fuck did you do to that? I said, 106, man, I can't be getting beat every year.

2:18:28BubblemanYou can get a lot of fucking horsepower on those things. That's frightening, those different stages that you can take the motors to. Holy shit.

2:18:37SpeakerMy daughter's grandma, um, She bought a new bike this year. It's 106 stock.

2:18:45BubblemanDude, first of all, can we go back to my daughter's grandma? That is amazing, dude. My daughter's grandma bought a new bike.

2:18:52SpeakerThis lady and her old man, her old man looks like a member right off of ZZ Top. When I was younger, I was 16 when I was starting to hang out with their daughter and his stepdaughter, but the difference between him and these guys that I got to fucking have as my peers were... Well, I'd be over to my buddy's place and his older brother would come in and check out the base, check down, yo, what do you guys got for the weed here, man?

2:19:19SpeakerCheck out our bag of weed, roll a couple joints up, like we're going to smoke a couple of everything and I'll take them. What do you do? What do you mean? Fuck you. See you later. That's how those guys were, right? But these guys, I'd pull a bag of weed out and they're like, you have Ian and Decker Dawn, these fucking, these boys, these real biker men.

2:19:42SpeakerThe shop all the the fucking centerfolds of the easy riders and engines and bikes and they're the ones that go no no put that shit away buddy check this out and they have this fucking skunk and these Afghanis and everything else that were just fucking incredible. I started buying weed off of them and selling it down at the arcade and at school and everything like that and I always sold out.

2:20:06SpeakerThe arcade. Because it was always the best of the best.

2:20:10BubblemanWe definitely grew up in the same generation. Yeah.

2:20:13SpeakerBut this lady, this lady was, you know, she came from the trenches, man, on the reserve to literally the chief of Treaty 8 in Fort Nelson. And the chief of Treaty 8 means she's the chief of chiefs. Wow. And the political stuff that she did For the native communities, for everything that could possibly be good is incredible. She's going on for council now. She's not the chief anymore.

2:20:42SpeakerShe gave it up. But she has rode her bike all over North America. She's got tats from head to toe. She is a strong fucking native woman warrior. And my granddaughter, my daughter has ridden on the back of the bike on Ian's or Liz's. Through the rains, through the sun, through the deserts, through everything. And like, she's a seasoned rider and everything like that. It's pretty cool.

2:21:12Etienne FontanThat's awesome, dude.

2:21:14SpeakerPowerful lady. Strong, strong lady.

2:21:16BubblemanThat's Monica's grandma? Yeah. That's awesome. Lyndon's 12 now. Oh my God. That's one year older than Tanner.

2:21:28SpeakerMan, what a, he's, what a kid, man. You know, he's 12 years old and I look at him at 12 and I look at myself at 12. Buddy, I already did a fucking six months in juvie for fuck's sakes by the time I was 12.

2:21:48BubblemanDamn, by the time I was 12, dude, I was like playing hockey. All I was doing at 12 was playing hockey, which I got to tell you, dude, my son is now playing hockey at 11 years old. He is, Tanner is like kind of finished with ski school up at Whistler. He did eight years of that on Blackholm and Whistler Mountain. And now he's like, I want to play hockey.

2:22:10BubblemanAnd he's been like, you know, he went from barely being able to skate to completely being able to go forwards, backwards, forwards. Like he's just having fun, dude. It's really fun for me because I can relate to that. I played a lot of hockey. I didn't ski as a kid at all. I've never skied. I did lots of hockey too. A snowboard. So watching him play hockey, dude, has been the absolute joy of joys.

2:22:31BubblemanAnd it's just been like skill camp so far because it was he got into it at the end of winter. So we just had to put him into hockey for fun, skill camp, stick and puck. And that all basically ended about a week ago. So now we got to figure him out for some.

2:22:45SpeakerDoes he still have his long hair?

2:22:47BubblemanUh, no, he's kind of got a Bob, Bob hairdo. He kind of like cuts his, yeah, he's got this hairdo that he himself picked years ago and he's kind of been rocking it ever since. But yeah, dude, we'll have to get those two together one day, man.

2:23:00SpeakerFor sure.

2:23:01BubblemanI think Tanner's always got a parade. That's what Char calls it. He's just got a parade of kids around him. He's got the trampoline. They got their little electric scooters and they parade around, dude.

2:23:12SpeakerYou know, Lyndon's mom's, he's got two moms, right? They're And that little dude has a little rec room in the basement. Like you have never seen a kid have from the hockey stuff. He's got those little hockey. It is a fucking amazing. The stuff he collects. Mini sticks.

2:23:32BubblemanWe play mini sticks all the time, dude.

2:23:34SpeakerMan, like the stuff that the stuff that he gets to do that his mom support him in and treat him good with. And like, like, man, I just can't believe how well this Young boy is thriving, but he's a typical little boy. He's a little shit. But we're two blocks, three blocks tops away from each other. So I go over. I'll show you this here. I go over to his place at any given time.

2:24:04BubblemanThat's awesome. Nice and close.

2:24:06SpeakerAnd we do this stuff here. I wonder if I can do the camera.

2:24:11BubblemanYeah, there'll be a flip button. Oh, yeah. Damn, look at that, eh? You're just in the fucking bush, dude.

2:24:19SpeakerOh yeah, fucking rights, man.

2:24:20BubblemanLook how beautiful it is.

2:24:24SpeakerGot my gym in the shop there. I started using a little bit ago. Hell yeah.

2:24:28BubblemanSide by sides, gyms and greenhouses, dude. That is my kind of backyard right there. There's your TV.

2:24:34SpeakerYeah, new TV there.

2:24:36BubblemanLet's talk about the packaging, Darren. Yeah, I'm going to burn it. I'm going to fucking burn it. Joe Dirt. Don't burn Joe Dirt accidentally. Oh, no, never. Come on, dogs. That's awesome. Oh, good fun. You know, the more I go to the U.S., the more I want to get rent motorcycles and experience riding around. I definitely don't think I'll go to Colorado again without renting a bike for at least 24 hours, even though it's not cheap.

2:25:09BubblemanIt's like it's, you know, two, three hundred bucks for a bike for 24 hours. But Still.

2:25:14SpeakerI remember when you used to dock your boat down at the fucking marina for that much a day and not even use your boat.

2:25:21BubblemanI know.

2:25:22SpeakerFor like weeks. Yeah. For weeks. Yeah. I'd like to go float around in the bay there again too.

2:25:29BubblemanI just picked my boat up yesterday when I was in Chilliwack. It's sitting on my front yard right now.

2:25:34SpeakerThank you so much for joining us.

2:26:04SpeakerAnd then I didn't even stay in the room because it was so fucking hot there. I had to stay down in the basement where there was a little cooler air and the stuff was open. I was so fucking hot.

2:26:12BubblemanOh yeah, dude. It's hot right now. We have about... Two months where the house is quite warm. Well, we have blinds, so we keep them down and we move air with fans, but we don't have... You don't get an air conditioner yet? No, we're not really big fans of the AC, my wife and I. We could put one in if we wanted it, but I don't like the way it makes me feel.

2:26:33SpeakerI'd have four of them in that place. It'd be a fucking icebox. I'd love it. You're hilarious. Oh, God. I love my air conditioning.

2:26:46BubblemanOh, yeah. That's awesome. What else? What else is going on in the world of cannabis? I think I am going to be going to Michigan next month, July 27th. Going to be doing a thing with mock technologies. If you guys have seen these guys, they had the ATS, that machine that was like a vacuum. It was like a jet sieve that like cleaned. Logan from Wolverine Dabs was promoting it for dry sift after the static sifter.

2:27:15BubblemanYou put it in this thing and it just makes it pure heads. So they've got water extraction equipment and some other stuff too. I'm going to go do a course on the 27th. You can check them out at Mock Technologies. We haven't announced it yet. This is me actually announcing it for the first time. But yeah, it's going to be a course on the 27th in Michigan.

2:27:35BubblemanI don't know if it's, I think it's in Detroit, which is easy. You can just fly to Windsor and then take the tunnel bus across the border to Detroit. Easy peasy. I always love that. So yeah, if any of you guys are around, you want to learn more about the Mock Technologies equipment or hang out and meet me for a day, I might even be there for a couple of days and then I'll probably continue on to go see my partners down in Michigan and go to the lab and maybe, you know, figure out to making sure everything's being done properly and all of that.

2:28:07BubblemanSo that's kind of my next, although I might end up for 710 in Colorado. That could happen as well, which is crazy because that's like just a little less than a month away. Keep telling my wife to get her passport so she can come on these trips. I'm going on a lot of trips, Darren. It's unbelievable. It's just like every month.

2:28:27SpeakerWhat's this stuff? What's this stuff that Tony makes, this new stuff, this oral thing?

2:28:32BubblemanOh, it's called Ampersam. My buddy Dan makes it here locally as well, if you ever want to see it. Actually, my buddy Jay, who I was at with in Chilliwack the other day, he was raving about it, the stuff that Dan made, because he can, you know, dose it better or something, and he's a real, um, Edible guy more than a smoker. So yeah, he made this.

2:28:52BubblemanI don't know. Yeah, it's just like an edible powder. It's almost like a sugary powder. I think he learned about it back in the day when he was doing the terpenes with the sugar. Remember when I got the sugar that had the terpenes in it? I think that process led to create ampersand. My buddy Dan knows the process or at least very similar because it looks almost identical.

2:29:12BubblemanTo what Tony was doing there. But yeah, just another kind of way of doing an edible product. Pretty cool. Personally, I ate it a couple times and didn't get high. Now, I don't know if I didn't take enough or what it was. It was given to me in Barcelona and I had some and I scooped a couple scoops down and I didn't feel it. I always feel it.

2:29:33BubblemanI usually feel it. Now, my buddy Jay the other day who was using the stuff from Dan, he said it was very strong. Thank you so much for joining us.

2:30:03BubblemanDavid Price- tapioca shells i've heard all these different weird things that they use to create it, I have really no idea what it is, but i'm sure you can take it to a lab and get it tested and it would tell you exactly what what everything is. You know, another way to get in THCA. I mean, honestly, these things, everything that we love, whether it's a cream or a drop or a patch or a beverage or a whatever, it's always the cannabis that's the magic.

2:30:32BubblemanAnd I think in the cannabis world, what we tend to do is try and use the magic to create a proprietary product that we can then brag is only ours and that we created it and we control it but the bottom line is is it's cannabinoids and volatile organic compounds that are the magic and it seems to be even when rick simpson was using naphtha to make you know that black oil and it was definitely not the cleanest product It was still shrinking cancers out of people's bodies.

2:31:04BubblemanAnd that's fucking naphtha, dude. You know how like shitty naphtha is? Wasn't he using isopropanol? I think down the road. I think originally it was naphtha and then it turned into isopropanol.

2:31:14SpeakerEither way. Naphtha would make the oil nice and yellow is what that used to do for us.

2:31:20BubblemanWell, I mean, now we'll make the oil dark first, but if you run it through a charcoal filter, then you can make it red or oil or honey colored like cherry. Yeah. Cherry oil was first because you don't you only have to when it's black and you are green when you run it through charcoal. It removes the color and makes it red almost right away. But then to take that and go and make it golden, this was before all the media and all the CRC.

2:31:48BubblemanThis was just basic carbon. It was a lot. You'd lose like nine grams of the 10 grams of oil to make one gram of like golden see-through oil. Before BHO, before, you know, all of that stuff. But people figured out a better way to do it, I guess, as they do.

2:32:10BubblemanAll righty then. Smoking Bowman rips. I wonder what my uncle's doing right now. I wonder if he's smoking a Bowman.

2:32:25BubblemanWhat's poppin', Gio? Let's see what Georges is doing. My uncle's name, my uncle was born so long ago, his name's George with an S. His actual name is Georges. You ever hear that before? It's very French. Georges, Georges, you know Etienne.

2:32:49Etienne FontanYeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Etienne used to have an S in it until the 17th century, and then they removed it. It used to be E-S-T-I-E-N-N-E-S-T-N.

2:33:06BubblemanOkay. Okay.

2:33:08Etienne FontanAnd then they're like, yeah, fuck your asses. They rebelled against, I guess it was the S revolution and everybody rebelled against the S's. And yeah, yeah.

2:33:19BubblemanFuck yeah.

2:33:21Etienne FontanFuck those S's.

2:33:22BubblemanYeah. It was 1944 and they had to get rid of the S's. All the S's.

2:33:31BubblemanThat's an SS joke for those of you that missed it.

2:33:36Etienne FontanYeah, that one wasn't black and white. It was pretty gray.

2:33:39BubblemanYeah.

2:33:42Etienne FontanGray was the color of their uniforms.

2:33:47BubblemanI just asked my uncle what he's doing. He says, I'm in the middle of the forest on a trail on my e-bike. I stopped to have a water and a puff. My uncle won like a $3,000 e-bike recently with like a $20 ticket that he bought at like a fish tackle shop. It's crazy how often my uncle wins shit like this. He also won a cooler in a fishing tournament recently, like a $500 Yeti cooler.

2:34:14BubblemanBut yeah, he's got this e-bike and now he's able to boot around at the, where he lives in the white shell in Manitoba, which is just bush. He's able to boot around on all these trails on this e-bike. It's, it's so awesome.

2:34:28SpeakerThat lady, Liz, I was telling you about the chief lady. Yeah. She won two motorcycles. And three motorcycle disgust.

2:34:40Bubblemansculptures and art and everything like that from the different bike rallies and stuff like that just by buying tickets she's one lucky lady two motorcycles man well i'll tell anyone a trick if they want to know one and this happened in the 90s when ron hickey was giving away a 32 plant pipe system with 2000 watt light bulbs and the big parabolic shields we had it we brought it set up in the back of a u-haul truck Lit that fucking thing up at the racetrack in Manitoba where Ziggy Marley and a bunch of other people were playing a concert and we got to give away the whole grow, go up on stage.

2:35:18BubblemanZiggy Marley had all the tickets and one of Ron's friend who bought a ticket, instead of taking the ticket and folding it like this and putting it inside the thing, she went like this. And she said, I always win when I do this and threw it in. And this shape, when you shake a jar full of like flat padded, this will always come up to the top.

2:35:47BubblemanIt just moves to the top because it's round. It's just the physics of it. And she fucking won. And I remember Ron was actually kind of pissed off. He was a little like, fuck, you figured out how to hack the system. But Ziggy Marley pulled it out on stage and announced the number that it was. And she won. And it was it was pretty cool to be set up at the race track in the 90s at a Ziggy Marley show with a U-Haul truck with 2000 watts burning and a 32 plant system.

2:36:17BubblemanNow, we didn't have the plants in there, obviously. But how fucking cool was that?

2:36:24Etienne FontanHell yeah, Uncle Gio. Look at that. Was that 94 or 95?

2:36:31BubblemanUh, geez, that would have probably been, ooh, I stayed in Manitoba till 96. So it could have been 93 or 94. Absolutely. Yep. Oh, you're muted.

2:36:46Etienne FontanHe was on tour, so we used to run into him on tour, he and his manager. Yeah. Because they were always looking for good weed.

2:36:54BubblemanIndeed they were. That's why they were so stoked to give away this system. Yeah. Shout out to my uncle, who's in the fucking bush right now on his e-bike. Looking like a badass. Dude, fucking Uncle Gio, bro. Yo, Uncle looks ready. He's my skunkle. He was the, he was the first one to ever, uh, in my family to give me a bud. And I remember being at work here.

2:37:22BubblemanHe wants me to share his, uh, his e-bike too, that he won, but he's booting around. Fucking fun, fun stuff for uncle geo stoked for him. I was going to invite him in, but he's literally in the middle. You know, it's probably 30 degrees out there and he's wearing a fucking like, like football jacket. That's awesome. Dude, my uncle's living the life of like a guy in the future, but also of a guy from 200 years ago.

2:37:53BubblemanSo he has this total hermetic lifestyle of living at the cabin and he's friends with the ravens and a fox has come and visit him and he's got all these fucking friends that are like animals, right? Like a lot. It's ridiculous. And instead of shooting them now, he shoots them with his video camera and his camera. He just takes pictures. He doesn't hunt anymore to kill the way he used to.

2:38:17BubblemanBut at the same time, he's riding an electric bike through the forest. It's pretty neat to see... He says, this trail I'm on, I have to go around the backside of a beaver dam. It was a little damp, but I got through. Should have taken a picture of it. Used to never be there. Used to be a little babbling brook and we used to make a bridge to go over it.

2:38:39BubblemanNow a fucking beaver got there and made a nice home. He'll be friends with that beaver in like weeks, I promise you. He'll be telling me about the beaver. He sends me pictures of the Ravens like landing on his deck. He's got a fox hanging out, a silver-tailed fox that hangs out on his deck and just, you know, chills out with him basically. I'm like, dude, you are living the fucking life, bro.

2:39:02BubblemanYou fish, you swim, you enjoy life and the animals are basically your homies. Not to mention he's super helpful to his neighbors. He understands being in service of others. He's the first guy to help you shovel. He's the first guy to give you a jump. He's the first guy to lend you something or be helpful or just go out of his way to make your life a little bit better.

2:39:24BubblemanSo shout out to Skunkle Geo. Absolutely good fucking dude. Man, I don't know where my wife is, but usually she brings me a beverage and I could really use that beverage right now as I watch D420K slam back his beverage. Was that water or coffee? Coffee. Fuck yeah, it was. I had a feeling.

2:39:48Etienne FontanI had a feeling.

2:39:50BubblemanThat's okay, man. No judgments. Do you know the pollution that coffee caught? It wasn't a pod, was it? Yes, it was.

2:40:01Etienne FontanWelcome to Coffee Church, ladies and gentlemen. Who brought the creamer?

2:40:05BubblemanFuck, welcome to Coffee Church. Oh my God. Dude, it's true though. I remember we got one of those damn things from my daughter when she started drinking coffee and then all of a sudden it was like, Fuck, these pods can't be good. Is anything we do good? Can we just do anything good? Is there a way to figure out a system? I just feel like it's easier for humans to follow the demonic intelligence than it is for us to follow the angelic intelligence.

2:40:35BubblemanIt seems like, you know what I mean by that? Like it's just like bad choices versus good choices. I don't know how to say it any other way, but it is good that, yes, of course, we're hypocrites, but at the same time, it's good to be aware. I mean, fuck, this thing's fucking plastic. What am I doing? I'm supporting it for some reason. We got to figure it out.

2:40:57BubblemanI don't know how I could live without plastic at this point in time. I bet you my uncle's close to doing it, though, outside of that e-bike and the helmet and all his clothes and the computer and the phone and his fishing boat, his fishing line, everything else he touches and uses in his entire life.

2:41:14SpeakerHoly shit.

2:41:18SpeakerOh, fuck.

2:41:19Etienne FontanIt's funny, you guys. It's funny. Gotta laugh at it or else it'll drive you crazy.

2:41:26BubblemanWell, exactly, dude, you know.

2:41:29Etienne FontanPlus, you know. Those coping mechanisms.

2:41:32BubblemanYes, exactly. Which, you know, we don't have at all, but we should all take a bong rip anyway.

2:41:38SpeakerBong rip, so it be, mother lovers. I was going to say motherfuckers, but no.

2:41:44BubblemanI like the mother lovers. We would accept a motherfucker, but mother lovers nice, dude. Yeah. I don't even know what it means exactly, but I love my mother.

2:41:53Etienne FontanLove mine too. Hey, since you're wearing that Slayer shirt, have you, were you able to ever see them live?

2:42:02BubblemanOh, did he see them live, bro?

2:42:06SpeakerI believe it was Mark that set me up with the other Mark, because the other Mark wanted someone to give them some weed. They needed some weed at the end of their tour, the end of their Canadian tour.

2:42:18Etienne FontanThat's right.

2:42:19SpeakerAnd I took my buddy Jake, my brother Jake, you guys all know Big Jakey. He fucking, uh, he drove down from Prince George overnight to bring down some beautifully fucking freshly finished cured OG Kush that was just king in that day. And I brought that to them. I got, uh, got to smoke with Tom Araya in the fucking changing room and that, and again, the group, the roadies.

2:42:47SpeakerI made really good friends with this one roadie and we kept in touch. And every time they came to Canada, I believe it was the last three Canadian tours they did. Maybe four. Might be, I'd like to say four, but it's probably only three. I'm probably exaggerating, but, uh, I got to supply them with their cush, edibles and pens. And they supplied me with fucking like the last one was a friends and friends and family VIP where the only place I wasn't allowed to go.

2:43:16SpeakerWas to the VIP scaffolding stage beside the stage. I was with the roadies where the guitars are with Tom, with Carrie. Carrie King's a fucking dick. I hope you hear it too. Fuck you. But the rest of them, fuck, man. Gary Holt and Buddy. It was like I got to do that three different times for sure. And it was the biggest bucket checklist I could ever fucking want.

2:43:47SpeakerChecked off my list. That was one of my favorite things to be able to do for you, dude, because I knew how much you loved Slayer. Well, I hitchhiked to see him when I was 16, them and Pantera in Vancouver.

2:44:00BubblemanWell, that was the original question, was that T asked you if you've seen Slayer. So I was like, holy shit. You went right to the end, but you'd seen them so many times. They were one of your favorite bands. That's why it was like, oh no, D's got to be the guy who does this.

2:44:14SpeakerThe only time that I didn't see them was when I was doing Time. That's it. Right. And that might have been a couple times.

2:44:24BubblemanThat's the worst time.

2:44:26SpeakerYeah, well, that's the way it goes. You play your pace sometimes.

2:44:30BubblemanOh, yeah.

2:44:31SpeakerFucking way she goes, boys. The lessons in the time. Yeah. I'm going to mute, so I'm not...

2:44:39BubblemanThe lesson is in the time. Yeah, no, I remember that. He was so fucking stoked at the end. Like, oh, my God. You know, just his favorite band ever. All of a sudden, he's just like hanging out with them and bringing them weed, smoking weed with them. And, you know, it's it's it's a dream in a sense. You don't really want to do it with all your bands because a lot of them, you know, they're working there.

2:45:03BubblemanIt's not the best experience all the time, but when it can hit and it is when you make that friend with that old school roadie, you know, like I had it personally with the Beastie Boys, you know, eating vegan food backstage, them not allowing anyone else because they don't want to party. I'm like, oh, my God, you guys are like me. This is what I want to do.

2:45:20BubblemanThey're like, yeah, smoke hash out of an apple pipe. Everything will be relaxed and chill, but that's not the case at every backstage experience. And it ends up being like I got soured on it like a long time ago and really stopped doing it. But since I stopped doing it, I've set up a lot of D's with, you know, like even recently I set up a friend of mine out east in Quebec with ASAP Rocky.

2:45:46BubblemanI had a friend reach out and say, hey, ASAP's in Montreal. He's touring. I was like, oh, I got a buddy who's got the gas. I bet he'll be stoked to go to a show with his wife. And I didn't even realize ASAP Rocky was married to Rihanna or any of that. But you just get friends that have if you've got great product and you want to turn on a comedian or someone that's kind of inspired you and I'm always happy to help people out like that and link people up like that.

2:46:19BubblemanAnd yeah, I almost forgot about that, D. That's pretty wild how long ago that was.

2:46:23Etienne FontanI missed that about rock and roll. I mean, because again, with the hemp tour, we were, I was able to tour with Primus, Fishbone. Then we did major tours like Lollapalooza and Horde Tour, which is Horizons of Rock Development Everywhere. That's a lot.

2:46:43BubblemanThat was in the 90s, D.

2:46:44Etienne FontanYeah, yeah, that was Blues Traveler and Allman Brothers and all that. And yeah, I used to have, well, I still have, I have an All Access, which has a planet on it. And I used to flash that thing everywhere and they just let me right in all the time. I'd be side stage watching shows, hanging out.

2:47:02BubblemanIt's that psychology, bro. Do you realize in the 90s, I went to a fish show And I bought a clear like thing to go around my neck with a lanyard. And I put a fake backstage pass in there. And basically, I never went backstage, but it let me get onto the floor and sit in the front row for the entire show. And it was like completely just false, like a complete it's psychology, man, at these concerts.

2:47:29Etienne FontanBut also when you're on a tour, right, they just see your face every day. So you just kind of get used to each other. Hey, how's it going? You need a drink?

2:47:37BubblemanYou need some water? Here's a bottle of water. Oh, thanks, man.

2:47:40Etienne FontanHey, cool. You know, you just play fam and you roll with it. Next thing you know, your world's your oyster. But weed and touring, I mean, go hand in hand. I mean, I met more people on the bus who was the tech for one of the bands and he was the weed dealer. So, you know, I'd find myself sitting across from, you know, like Dave Matthews, you know, Dave Matthews band.

2:48:04Etienne FontanHey, what's up? Hey, what's going on? You know, because you're all sitting there waiting for the weed dealer, right? You know, it's back in the, okay, well, we're all here. Okay, what we got, what we're looking at, you know, and divvy it up and, you know, get it on. But yeah, I mean, when I was on Primus tour, Thank you for watching.

2:48:47Etienne FontanBest really thing for doing that because otherwise you were always reliant on, you know, you're trying to find your drugs. So Les figured out early on, which I thought was brilliant, to say, hey, throw your weed. If anybody has any weed, feel free to donate it or throw it to us. And yeah, at the end of every show, there was always weed. You know what I'm saying?

2:49:10Etienne FontanSo if you're a band and you're out there- Bands never have a hard time getting weed.

2:49:15BubblemanThis is a band thing. There's always people who grow weed and have weed that want to share with musicians that have inspired them.

2:49:22Etienne FontanYeah, my friend Peanut and M311, good friends of mine from way back in the day. He comes through, hey ATN, you know, okay, what's up Nut? So, you know, it's rock and roll has to have cannabis.

2:49:35BubblemanIt's still happening, even though they could just send someone into a dispensary and buy all legal shit. It's still absolutely happening where bands are just like, I just like it to be delivered to me. I'd like it to come from the grower, you know? And so that's and here in Canada, as long as you keep it under an ounce, it's totally legal to give away an ounce of weed.

2:49:58BubblemanJust give it to them. No problem.

2:50:00Etienne FontanYou can do that in California too. You can gift up to an ounce of weed. So that's the big thing everybody loves around Christmas time. You know, Merry Christmas.

2:50:10BubblemanRight. Merry Christmas indeed.

2:50:14Etienne FontanWhat's the grift of green, right? Whoever is upset over being gifted cannabis, right?

2:50:21BubblemanDude, I love giving hash away. Absolutely love it. It's one of my favorite things. When I left Colorado, I gave away so much, dude. I gave, I didn't tell you, Darren, but I was, I go to this motorcycle rental shop. And this kid's six foot six. He's got long red hair, a long red beard. I'm like, oh, hey, dude, what's your name? He's like, they call me Gingy.

2:50:42BubblemanI'm like, oh, shit. I think I talked to you on the phone a couple of days ago. He's like, yeah, that would have been me. And so I'm like, all right. And we're talking and kind of, you know, getting the talking about the bike. And I give him my ID and he's at the counter and he's like, he's like, dude, he whispers. He's like, dude, are you Bubble Man?

2:51:01BubblemanAnd I'm like, fucking like, what the fuck? I'm like, yeah, dude, I am actually. And he's like, he's like, bro, I'm autistic. I'm such a huge dabber. This guy like dabs an outrageous amount. So I was like, oh, well, fuck here, dude. Here's a bubble man jar. You know, kicked him a jar. And then the next day when I went back to return the bike, I kicked him.

2:51:20BubblemanI gave him full melt. I gave him three different jars of Bubble Man brand rosin. He was a very, very happy camper. And I think I'm going to get a very good deal the next time I go to the motorcycle shop. And rent a bike from him. Because that'll be my spot now. I can jump on an electric bike or scooter. And in 16 minutes, I can go from where I stay in downtown Denver.

2:51:44BubblemanAnd this is on trail. So I'm avoiding all the big overview highways and stuff. It would be nine minutes if I went on the highway. But I go on the trails because you don't want to take one of those scooters on the highway, the bike anyway. So yeah, 16 minutes, drive this little electric bike that barely goes, you know, 20 kilometers an hour to the fucking motorcycle shop, park it out front, rent an XRS 900 Yamaha, Boot off to fucking Evergreen and Boulder and Red Rocks and all these cool spots.

2:52:11BubblemanCome back a day later to return it. And because they're so kind of in an industrial area, my fucking electric bike is just sitting right out in front of their place. So I just hit it with the hit it with the QR code, jump on that. And 16 minutes later, I'm back downtown at my spot. Awesome. Fucking awesome, dude. Yeah, it's really cool, man. Who'd have thought that one day I'd be smoking joints in the U.S.?

2:52:38SpeakerWell, that's what I'm talking about, the recognition in the middle of nowhere. It's happened so many times. It's so trippy. Some of these guys that are like being inspired by us in the old days and that, like in the beginnings, they're like, they're showing me stuff, they're bringing me stuff that is like, holy shit, this is nice stuff. Because these guys are doing it on levels that are perfect.

2:53:07SpeakerThey're perfectionists at what they're doing. They're like those niche guys out of the million. He's the one. And, man, gifting me the rosins and all that and the hashes and stuff was just like, man, thank you so much, buddy. Like, really good dude.

2:53:29SpeakerThat's that Van Span guy, that one.

2:53:37SpeakerYou're muted. Van Span, yeah. Yeah, that was, that was him. Johnny called me up and said, yeah, this guy wants to meet you. He's one of those guys that liked watching our show and everything like that. He makes some good hash. And I was like, oh, cool. So I met him and he was just like, he was like starstruck and fucking giving me so much stuff and everything like that.

2:53:59SpeakerAnd I mean, fucking top quality, fucking Ross and all the way. And, uh, We've been friends ever since. Really good dude, man. A perfectionist. He's the kind of guy that, living at home, not having any bills, doing anything, and working at, say, a restaurant of Timmy's or McDonald's or some of these simple places that are easy to get work but are good for your credit and all that when you're young and This guy saved up like a couple hundred thousand dollars in his bank account because of all those years of working and staying at home and everything.

2:54:32SpeakerAnd he is an absolute perfectionist on every aspect of his life. And I was very impressed.

2:54:39BubblemanYeah, that's awesome. I don't know if I ever met him. Maybe I have. We talked about him yesterday because he's helping my buddy who's in the WAC do some work. And yeah, it was very lovely work. I got nothing but good things to say about that guy. Nice, nice. Yeah, I'm not sure. I can't picture his face. I feel like I must have met him before, but...

2:55:03Bubblemandude so many people so many people and so many names and if you choose a name then it's like you got to know that name with that face but then there's a real name too and some people have had like five of these not real names like i've just been bubble man forever the lot before i was bubble man i was dutch tripper and listen how funny this is i chose the name dutch tripper to go on it was actually it was my email i wasn't even known as it it was my email before i had the fresh headies email I had the email dutchtripper at hotmail.com.

2:55:36BubblemanAnd I remember Mila thinking this had something to do with her. And in reality, it was my two cats. It was Dutch and Tripper that I had in the 90s. And so I just, it's kind of like when they said about Sam that he was the, you know, oh, it's Sam Selejny. He's a DEA agent or he's a secret agent. It's like, and then Diana's like, Selejny was just his nickname backwards, Jingles.

2:55:59BubblemanThat's Sam used to be called Jingles and Selejny is just Jingles backwards. And it's like, you know, I saw there's a new video of Mila bashing me online. Some blue haired chick is interviewing Mila and she's like telling a story of me being at an event. I don't I didn't watch it because I didn't want to be like affected by it. But like 100 people sent it to me and said, you got it.

2:56:20BubblemanYou know, this is what she's basically saying, that you went on stage to collect an award. And then there's just like all these people just canceling me in the comment section. And I'm like, I don't enter awards. I don't do awards ever. You guys know I don't enter competitions. I've never entered a competition. So I'm not sure how the hell I ended up on stage with Mila not saying sorry, but I apologize, Mila, if that truly happened.

2:56:48BubblemanI think it might have happened to someone else, though, because I don't know. I'm Canadian. I'm always thankful and I'm always sorry. It's just a fact. Adam Wendel, CFO Alphabet and Google.com.

2:57:18BubblemanThank you so much for joining us today.

2:57:44BubblemanFrom the guy who stole her bags would be the very words that she used. Indeed, the bags weren't even invented by her or named by her or manufactured by her. But there it is. And the stories go deeper and deeper. Hopefully, we won't have to go too much deeper. I got a bunch more myself. We'll see how many more videos she wants to make talking about things that didn't happen.

2:58:08BubblemanPlus, wouldn't there be 100 videos of that? Like if there was like an award ceremony and I was like up on stage like being rude, wouldn't there be videos of that? Seems like we've had cameras for a long time. Maybe it's just me.

2:58:24Etienne FontanYeah, you know, cameras on everybody.

2:58:26BubblemanSorry, I was just, Dole Branch just wrote, Reinhardt was a legend in Mendoza, so we always knew she did not invent it. Yes, Reinhardt was a legend. And I will say the bags, which were invented by Eldon, were invented based on Reinhardt's machine Which probably she wasn't supposed to be showing anyone because she had signed a little contract with him. And that's why he wanted to sue her.

2:58:49BubblemanThat's why he sued me and sued Jason from Payload Bags and Lucy Extractor and all these other people. Reinhart was actually awesome. I learned a lot from him. I didn't really enjoy being in the lawsuit or spending the money or finding out that his machine was responsible for the bags and then paying him a bunch of money. But it was just the right thing to do. And the right thing to do isn't always super enjoyable and fun.

2:59:14BubblemanBut I can sit in the world of water extraction and know that the place that I had in it All of that has been a good place. And maybe it didn't start out the best and it was a bit bumpy, but I made up for it. And I paid the people who were supposed to be paid. And more importantly, I got bags out to thousands of people and taught a huge chunk of the world how to make bubble hash.

2:59:36BubblemanAnd so when I go to the stores nowadays, do you know how long it took? In Holland, maybe they still call it ice wax, but everywhere I go, including Colorado, it's called bubble hash. I don't see it called solventless. I don't see it called ice wax. I don't see it. And that took a long, long, long time for bubble hash to get to the point where that's what it is on all the dispensary menus.

3:00:00BubblemanAnd that's the people who decide that, not me or Nickity or Matt Rise or anyone else. And in fact, for the longest time, ice wax was more hashtags on Instagram, solventless, and it may very well still be like that. Those terms, ice wax and solventless, there were a time where they were just incredibly, incredibly popular terms, more popular than the term bubble hash by all means. Nowadays, I don't know if that's the same.

3:00:26BubblemanI know when I go into dispensaries, I see neither solventless nor Well, you might see a sign for solventless, but it won't be, it'll be a variety of things that it's responsible for. Whereas bubble hash is a very specific thing. What do you have all of that stuff on your menu as, Etienne?

3:00:45Etienne FontanBubble comes by bubble. Yeah. As well as rosin, resin, you know, because everybody... Those are the ones I see. Yep, yep, yep. And then, you know, we have granulated...

3:01:00Etienne Fontanwater product as well so you know but you know that's just uh granulated hash you know we do back in the day yeah back in the day uh yeah people they had Or would call things by deities and that caused some problems. Somebody was doing like loose granules and they were calling it. What was it? Well, there was a Ganesh wafers and the Shiva crystals. That's what it was.

3:01:29Etienne FontanAnd we got picketed by a bunch of people from India because of you know they were protesting the use how dare you how dare you associate shiva Yeah, with hash, right? Right, right, right. Ganesh with hash, right. Shame on us, right? Anyway, literally, they came out and they protested. They had signs. They rolled out front. We were like, we don't make this. We just sell it. Take it to the maker.

3:02:01Etienne FontanYou know what I'm saying? I mean, because these people were who made it were Hindu. So, you know, they named it themselves. But these people were absolutely livid that that was the case. So, you know, You can't win for trying sometimes. It's just really funny. Oh, wow. Look at that. Did you get that when you were in India?

3:02:20BubblemanYes. Boom. Shankara. Shankara Mahadev. That's pretty crazy, dude. Got some dust on it, though. I need to take care of it and be more respectful of Lord Shiva. But it is badass, dude. This is badass. Front and back. Imagine when they're carving this. They're like, oh, no, let's just put a back on it, too. Well, you could just put it up against the wall. No, no, I'll spend 30 hours doing the back.

3:02:45BubblemanYou know, no problem. That looks like Dutch. Is that a Maine Coon?

3:02:50SpeakerNo, it's not a Maine Coon. No? Just a free kitty I see that I... Charlie with curly loss of 18 years. That might be a Maine Coon, dude.

3:03:03BubblemanIt looks like one.

3:03:05Etienne FontanNah, it's not too Coonish, but it's a Coonish.

3:03:08BubblemanWell, when my cat Dutch looked exactly like that when it was a kitten and he was a full-blown Maine Coon. I'm telling you, same colors and everything.

3:03:17Etienne FontanYeah, I dated somebody who had a full-blown Maine Coon and I was very intimidated having that cat in my house. No shit.

3:03:25BubblemanThis thing was fucking big as a dog.

3:03:27Etienne FontanYou're not used to cats as big as a dog.

3:03:29BubblemanI've shown Dutch a ton of times, but he looked identical to that.

3:03:33Etienne FontanOh, look at that. He's got his winter fur on to beauty. How much did he weigh? Like 20 plus pounds. Yeah.

3:03:44BubblemanMurderous cat, but he looked identical today.

3:03:46Etienne FontanI was about to say, hunter natural.

3:03:49BubblemanHe'd bring baby birds home right out of the nests. He'd be so happy about it. I'd be like, you bastard. Did I tell you what happened to my cat, by the way, you guys? No. It fell out of a 50-foot tree on a 50-foot cliff, Darren. So it fell 100 feet onto rocks. And I just saw her walk by. Jesus. Yeah. Cats are gangster.

3:04:15Etienne FontanYeah, they can somehow deal away with terminal velocity, which is pretty much an amazing instinct to have.

3:04:27BubblemanFor real. It's unbelievable that anyone, that any creature... A hundred feet and survived.

3:04:32Etienne FontanWow.

3:04:33BubblemanI mean, maybe a squirrel, you know, it's like, okay, yeah, maybe a squirrel might survive that, but like... Like a big cat. I was just like, she walked in so fucked up though. When she came into the house, she was kind of making sounds. She hurt her lung. She got some contusions on her lung, but she broke no bones, no blood in any parts of her body where it didn't belong.

3:04:54BubblemanYeah, it was, it was a, it was as good as it could be for as bad as it was. I would say that it was as good as it could be for as bad as it was. Unbelievable.

3:05:08Etienne FontanYeah. When did you get that kit in there, Darren?

3:05:12SpeakerAbout a month ago. I got a little Manx coming too, a little Ginger Manx. And they're fucking crazy too. But this little cat's a nut. He's fucking, he's pretty cool.

3:05:25Etienne FontanGinger cats are known to be nuts, period. And so, yeah.

3:05:29SpeakerWith the Manx Ginger as well, it's going to be different. He's even more so fucking a little crazier. It's pretty cool.

3:05:37BubblemanOh yeah, well I'm getting a cougar.

3:05:42SpeakerI'd like a mancoon, but fuck my dog. One of those mancoons is like three times the weight of my dogs. I know. Like Joe, he weighs like six pounds, seven pounds.

3:05:55BubblemanIf you get a kitten mancoon, he'll grow up with your dogs and he'll protect dogs like that.

3:06:01SpeakerYeah, for sure. But I had Charlie for 18 years, this ginger one I had and Everybody loved him. He was a cool kitty. And he passed. Buried in the backyard there.

3:06:15BubblemanYeah, we lost the cat recently. Sakura, our little gray cat, 20. Well, in the last couple of years, she was 20, though. So we were, you know, she lived a great life. She never went to the vet. She never got sick. She never got hit. She never had trauma. She just lived a life. She was slick as fuck. She was like a ninja. Nothing ever hurt her.

3:06:32BubblemanNothing ever tried to get her. And yeah, 20 years of never taking her to a vet, never getting a shot, never fucking doing anything except giving her a little food and a little water in a bowl. She was truly a roommate who took care of her own business. She didn't even shit in the house ever. She just, we had like the kitty litter robot thing. She just, she had, I never found where she shit still to this day.

3:06:58SpeakerPerfect kitty.

3:06:59BubblemanYeah. Holy shit, dude. Can you imagine? I think Bingo says he's a dog guy, not a cat guy, but I will tell you that if you don't, and it's unfortunate for those who are allergic to either or, but it is not dogs or cats, it's dogs and cats. Just remember that it's dogs and cats. It's never dogs or cats. And when you have dogs and cats, You have the fucking best of both worlds because you got these little unconditional bastards that just love you unconditionally.

3:07:31BubblemanBut then you got this kind of gangster cat that you kind of have to earn their respect. And so you it's just they're different. And to me, having both of them was exceptional. Dogs are amazing, but cats won't tell the police where your drugs are. It's good to have a relationship with both with both, in my opinion.

3:07:48SpeakerYeah, yeah.

3:07:50BubblemanYeah, I love them both. Yeah, of course. And it's they're different, right? You know what I mean? Like the cat's probably not running home and jumping on your lap the second you get home.

3:08:02SpeakerYou know what he does, dude? Every time I feed him, he comes up and jumps on me and cleans himself up and has a nap. The cat's really affectionate, actually. That's amazing. And he comes up, came up last night, woke me up with a little nose rub on my face just to say hi and snuggle up to me on my pillow and fucking go to bed. Like he's a good, he's a good kitty.

3:08:24SpeakerI like him. I like his, his everything about him right now. So far.

3:08:28BubblemanAren't you glad you're not allergic to him? Bingo said my eyes swell shut.

3:08:33SpeakerOh my God. Poor bucking guy.

3:08:35BubblemanImagine he just comes over and rubs his face on your eye and you're allergic to him.

3:08:41SpeakerBut my dogs, I can have them on my lap 24 seven if I let them.

3:08:46Etienne FontanYeah, of course. And it's also like cats know when you're allergic. Oh, and I have to rub on you and get you out of my way.

3:08:54SpeakerOh, my God. Yeah. Cats are fucking ignorant little pricks, too. Fucking snobs, you know, won't even look at you sometimes, right? Nice thing when you're calling them.

3:09:08BubblemanOh, yeah. They're definitely not looking or coming to you when you're calling them. But there's something awesome about that.

3:09:13SpeakerI take those little temptation treats and this little plastic thing. I've done this to all my cats when I first get them is I give it a shake and I say their name and then I feed them a couple of those treats. And right now, if I do do that, I shake that little thing, that little fucker is running to me right now.

3:09:37BubblemanPavlovian response. What's that? That's the psychologist who does what you're talking about right now. Did it with dogs, got their mouths to water with the sound. Yeah, no, it's a big thing for sure. Listen, dogs are like moms and loving and nurturing and awesome. And dads are like cats, sometimes a little scary, sometimes a little distant.

3:10:05SpeakerI can see it. Yeah, I see it.

3:10:10BubblemanThat's why you need cats and dogs, man.

3:10:12Etienne FontanIndifferent to everything. Indifferent to everything.

3:10:16BubblemanExactly. Pavlovian Despair. Pavlov's Dogs. There it is. Pavlov's Dogs. I think I'm going to cut it short here soon, guys. I don't have another 48 minutes in me. I got a bunch of stuff to do in the garden, but I want to thank you guys for fucking hanging out and coming in today and spending a really nice mellow hash church. I've needed a hash church like this for a long time.

3:10:43BubblemanI got a little nervous when the hash church episode got taken down last week. I was like, whoa, is this going to be a thing? I really hope it's not going to be a thing.

3:10:50Etienne FontanWait, what happened?

3:10:52BubblemanWhen Colin shared her website, YouTube's AI and people for whatever reason thought that all those flowers were like for sale and that we were promoting the sale of illegal substances. And so they just, instead of me getting to take that part of the show out, they took the whole show off the air. So I believe it's still on, it's still, you can still listen to it on all the podcasts.

3:11:15BubblemanIt's just not on YouTube. And I might, Etienne, go through the show blank out the part where he shows that page. So we lose only like five minutes. But we just have to be careful in regards to sharing websites. I think I'm done with it. I don't think I'm going to do that too much. We can share medical anything Dr. Mark shares has always been fine.

3:11:35Etienne FontanI'm also going to talk to those like pub, you know, pub med and stuff like that. So those are public domain things.

3:11:42BubblemanSo I think what we're going to do is eventually get all the hash churches put up on a site where if YouTube takes them down, it won't matter. They'll still be accessible to people. And what I mean by accessible is where we have hashbible.org, the new website. I don't know if I told you about this, Darren, but hash church is a searchable website. Thank you. Thank you.

3:12:34BubblemanTo James and bike about that and see if we can't figure out getting something like that done. I don't know James SF about membership pauses. I really am not sure how that works or whatnot. But yeah, I'm still trying to get my monetization back so I can have memberships. In the meantime, yeah, it's unfortunate and I really don't like it. But this is what you're at the risk of.

3:13:02BubblemanYou know, YouTube's POS, like their TOS, sorry, the terms of service that they have. I got, we got to follow them to the best that we can. I know POS, little Freudian slip there, little piece of shit, or maybe it was a point of sale. Who knows? Either way. I want to thank Puffco for always keeping us laced and, you know, Adam Dizzle, Nick, Skully Vibes, Storm, Storm, Storm, Storm, Storm, Storm, Storm, Storm, Storm, Storm, Storm, Storm,
