Law Smith
3:08
is all in. I say keep all of this in. Because I think this is important. It's only been the last 30 seconds or so. What's the it's the human. It's the human condition. I look, I understand I see things differently as other people I'm talking to. I understand that. I don't think everybody I don't if you really want to make a big extrapolation of that argument. No one really sees anything. The same POV as the other person. We're not talking about porn. I know you're you're thinking that I see
3:38
Pornhub pulled up.
Law Smith
3:41
No, that's about Russia taken away. Pornhub for different for different guest topic. Right, right. Well, look, I mean, you gotta do research guys. Speaking research.
3:54
What a segue. Yeah, nice.
Law Smith
3:57
Nice smooth, bro. In the name what am I Bob Saget rip Greenpoint research. let's uh, let's have you guys do your plugs. Where can people find y'all his main brand which is Greenpoint, but your other sub subsidiaries, your sub brands, whatever you want to call them. Extensions, subway franchises,
4:21
maybe
4:22
I'll let I'll let you take all
3
Speaker 3
4:24
that. You got it. So right now Greenway research comm is where you can find our corporate brand. And then of course, you can find our consumer facing cannabinoid brands online@www.sedar.com For our CBD brand and then our cannabinoid brand gram CO is the gram co.com. And you can also find those on Twitter, Instagram, etc.
Law Smith
4:48
For those listening, they're in separate locations. So there's a little pause in between and then Robins got a great framing of for ceiling.
4:58
How tall are you? Right
5:01
Oh, no, sorry. I haven't seen it
Law Smith
5:08
now we got a background Yeah, great. It was just, it was the dad up shot on Zoom. Yeah, you know, really zoom on that guy.
3
Speaker 3
5:21
Right now. Now we're good. Yeah, just standing up. So good. Gotta keep on.
Law Smith
5:27
Um, so we had John. And you're the CMO light. You're the chief legal counsel, I believe is your title. Even legal officer? Yep. Chief Legal Officer. Rest me No. Um, but what we had so much we didn't talk about the last time you're on if anybody wants to go back in the episodes probably about six episodes ago. Yes. somewhere in that ballpark. Enlightened I ended up talking on the phone, which was almost like a part two to everything. We talked like little girls about, you know, boys and stuff we didn't talk about on the show. And so I just kind of want to pick up where we left off. And we didn't ever talk about and this should have been crucial was the COVID free strains of, of cannabis. cannabinoids. Tell me the difference again, of the two. Yeah,
4
Speaker 4
6:26
but the cannabis plant has cannabinoids in it, like compounds. Like if you looked at the periodic table, like all of those elements, and things are found within
Law Smith
6:37
if you have an alloy. You know, iron is part of the alloy.
4
Speaker 4
6:43
Yeah, so So all of those are the building blocks that make other compounds called cannabinoids, which are found inside of cannabis. So the big one everyone's excited about is Canavalia, JIRA, all C, B, G, A. And I don't know how to spell it. No, CA, Na, VI, E, R O L,
7:06
there we go. We're back on PornHub.
Law Smith
7:10
Trying to find if they have some some topics.
4
Speaker 4
7:13
The so what CBGa is, is a compound that is not CBG, which is it's got an acid, the A stands for an acid. So there's an acid group on the comp Oh, yeah, man. So apparently, what the medical, or what this report is said is that CBGa is a combatant with COVID. So if you are using cannabis, and it has CBG, a, as one of the, you know, constituent components, then you're probably going to be you're not going to catch COVID, or any of the, or some of the strains of COVID. And we, it was funny, we were talking about this internally. And I was like, I wonder, you know, okay, so if there are frequent users of cannabis in the company, and then non frequent users that are in the company, or their, you know, partners, wives, husband and things like that, you know, let's do like informal poll. And everybody who was a frequent user of cannabis had not gotten COVID. And everybody who was an infrequent user of cannabis had gotten COVID When we did the poll, like,
Law Smith
8:21
two or three months ago, what's the sample size? What are we talking? Like? 12.
8:25
So you know, and not, man,
Law Smith
8:27
if I work for you, I'm like, they're knocking me out, dude. I don't want them to know, even if I have a legal card or any of that, I no way they're tracking how many
2
Speaker 2
8:39
people did you have that said, I used to smoke weed all the time.
4
Speaker 4
8:44
We were a cannabis company. We're, you know, a hemp company, we have people that are using the products. And so, you know, that's not something that
8:50
I know. I'm just curious. Yeah, I
4
Speaker 4
8:53
mean, yeah, you know, thinking about it from so we we identify, you know, frequent users or daily users, regular users, or weekly users, and infrequent users, or anybody that are kind of over that timeframe. So like, I'm an inferior you know, I'm, I'm, you know, taking a gummy, you know, and watching, you know, a movie every now and then we've got people that are that are using cannabis on a daily basis for pain management, or for, you know, anxiety and stuff like that, that that work inside of the business. So, you know, we've got, we've got a good sampling size, and it's helped us, you know, you guys are wearing grahamcooke products, and that's a Delta eight brand. So the difference between like a Delta eight high vs. Yep, yep, get it, get it up there. Where's your beach ball? Where's your beach ball? Don't need it
9:36
should have a beach ball in here. That's a great idea
Law Smith
9:39
between my eyes guys.
4
Speaker 4
9:42
So, you know the difference between, you know, a Delta eight high versus a Delta nine high, you know, why would you use certain why would you have certain products that we come out with at cramco You know, all of those things. You know, we've got internal people that are that are excited about the product and looking at that type of stuff.
2
Speaker 2
10:00
So so the CBG A, the anti COVID is in the female side of cannabis to kind of get you higher. It's not on the hemp side or is it on both?
4
Speaker 4
10:13
No, it's on both. So I mean, you know, cannabis art director of ag likes to say it's a plant. A plant a plant is a plant is a plant. He's very hard.
2
Speaker 2
10:26
It trails off me takes a nap. He's got a CD.
Law Smith
10:29
Yeah. So you just keep saying it until he
4
Speaker 4
10:35
he's got a lot of experience. And you know, if you think about like the candidate, the only difference between the medical marijuana side of cannabis and what we do is that there's a federal line in the sand that says you can't have more than point 3% THC, Delta nine THC. If you do, then you're no longer him. You're now classified as medical marijuana. So, you know, all of these cannabinoids, CBG, CBD, CBN THC, all this stuff can be found naturally occurring in both hemp as well as medical marijuana.
Law Smith
11:09
Robin, I want to ask you on the other side of this the consumer side, what did they think is going on? Like do people? Are people buying this under the impression? Is there anybody out there competitor wise? Or just just out there in general in the marketplace, really hitting this home? Or is this the sales pitch of less COVID? Okay, you know, the opportunity to not have COVID by these kinds of strains? Or is that a no, no.
3
Speaker 3
11:42
There are a lot of knows that that doesn't mean people aren't doing them, right. Yeah, yeah. I mean, we, we sell a lot on the internet and with competitors, and even within our own ecosystem of people saying, hey, to joints to stop the spread. Well, that's not exactly how it works. However, it's fun from a cannabis company to be able to talk about it. Because COVID has been the hot topic for the last two years of being able to tap onto something as buzz worthy. I mean, it definitely gets attention. It was on all the late night shows the whole week. So if you were covering any type of trending trending topic that we you were talking about it so we got a little bit of knowledge out of it. In fact, we had a couple of promotions in the field that week. And it was probably about 30% of the content from one of them. So they were supposed to be talking about sports the whole time. They were talking about this study. And for a lot of people, it was just a great way to talk about it was a great way to open up the dialogue
Law Smith
12:40
that we're doing. Yeah, I was good. I cut you off. But I'm saying that would be great. If the real vaccine was just smoking, or ingesting the stuff. Who says it's not well, you know, you got Pfizer's probably on it, I'm sure. But I don't know it's one of those things, Eric, you didn't get it ever
2
Speaker 2
12:59
got it. And I've smoked weed before. A lot.
Law Smith
13:03
A lot. A lot. Yep. Could be
4
Speaker 4
13:06
under right now. Anecdotal evidence, guys. It's everywhere. Yep. Well,
Law Smith
13:10
I kind of I was like, I went to Eric a while back maybe two years ago. I was like, Hey, man, you can they can just put keto on anything in there. That's legit. FDA don't give a shit. He's like, Yeah, I was like, I didn't know that. Yeah, I didn't know that shit. When you go to like, you're like, Oh, this is a Keto whatever. There's a whole fucking section,
13:30
right? Just eat one bite and it's keto.
Law Smith
13:32
And you're like, and then I like going around eating pizza going. I'm keto.
13:36
They said it wasn't just a Keto on
Law Smith
13:37
it. Yeah, it's a Keto pizza. I don't give a shit. That's fine. Get Yeah. I just find that I don't know in, in an age where everything's really regulated. It just or false advertising or whatever? I guess it doesn't. When it's new ish, maybe has a grace period.
2
Speaker 2
13:57
It has to have a grace period. But it's up to it. They'll get theirs.
4
Speaker 4
14:01
Yeah, yeah. I think Eric's exactly right. I mean, that people are, the grace period is coming to an end, we're getting, you know, a lot of scrutiny from state regulators about, you know, how our products are labeled and what we're putting on them. And that's, that's happening across the industry, they're starting to get really, you know, specific about, okay, does this batch match? So, you know, thinking about it from a cannabis perspective, like, we have another kind of ripple inside of not only the label, but like, we have a certificate of analysis on our products. And that certificate of analysis has to match what's actually in that box that you buy. So not only you know, can you not say hey, this will cure COVID on the box, which is it would be like a stated medical claim so the FDA would carry a new asshole for having something like that on there. But, you know, you also have to have this matching event of you know, hey, this batch is what we say it is, you know, inside when you buy it You're going to get a consistent feeling from whatever you're purchasing from us. You know, and that's not you know, that product consistency has been something that's plagued the industry again, in that grace period of this is new people are figuring it out. But you know, the things are things, the tide started, you know, you're really gonna see a lot of like FDA actions coming out, there was a whole round of them that came down a couple years ago, where people had like straight up medical claims, like, smoke this pot, you'll go to sleep, it's better than Ambien. You're like, you can't. I mean, you could, I guess you could say that you can't advertise it like that. That's a stated medical claim. So there's there's a lot of those those specific kind of laws and regulations that you have to be careful of with.
Law Smith
15:46
This is a sexy as compliance gets. Exactly. Everything else is so just drew, when you when I'm sure you're right in the middle of a bunch of compliance stuff you always have to do. But that's about as fun as compliance gets. Folks, if anybody's looking into that kind of career, what a
2
Speaker 2
16:04
life to live. Yeah, over your shoulder all the time at the new rules, reading
Law Smith
16:07
the fine print on everything. Right.
16:09
If I'm banging your head against those regulations is tough.
Law Smith
16:13
Yeah, yeah. I mean, we know from the digital side, we have to go through some of that. Oh, yeah, people and it's just like this.
2
Speaker 2
16:19
They're not I mean, Google doesn't even let you say the word dispensary in an ad. If you're a medical marijuana dispensary. And they don't tell you
Law Smith
16:28
we're on your site. They don't Oh, yeah, you can have
2
Speaker 2
16:31
it on your site. Ads to go right if it goes to the that.
4
Speaker 4
16:35
Yeah, I mean, Robin, we're not allowed like Instagram, Facebook. Tik Tok. Any of those, like, we like all of our content has to be very specific. Right? Like, there's like, there's things that we can show. There's things that we can't show,
Law Smith
16:50
you need to be very lifestyle. Right, Robin?
3
Speaker 3
16:53
Yeah, I mean, they have community guidelines. And I feel like, feel like there's some bot behind the scenes. It's just like flagging stuff just whenever they want that base, like community guidelines, or you can't sell illegal products. Well, what we're selling is not illegal. However, if they if we get a flag X amount of times, they have to investigate and make sure we're not Well, it's, it's one thing if you're marketing, hemp genetics to a farmer, easy peasy. You have a hemp plant up there. Selling it makes a lot of sense. That's great. But then someone else can say, Oh, you're advertising marijuana? Well, we're not but we're flagged. So we definitely have to be mindful of that. And we have just like, I don't know, anyone in cannabis marketing that has not had their account flagged on Instagram, or Facebook, or Tik Tok or removed. In fact, most people have a backup account just for that reason. So it's really challenging in social media, for sure.
Law Smith
17:48
Yeah, I'm gonna pitch you something for y'all. There we go. Well, this is all about, I want to ask you about marketing mix and all that stuff. But I'll pitch you. How do you get the word out there with cheap influencers without having to go through influencers? And obviously, we're comedy slanted. I bet you can find a lot of comics that you could sponsor their podcasts for maybe inkind. Just so they have sponsors. We're not pitching us. I'm talking like bigger, they're bigger level comics. I mean, we're obviously company men. We're, if anybody's watching on video, we're sporting the gear. But I'm saying you could probably get a lot of in kind sponsorships to a lot of comics podcast that do you have, here's what you want in a podcast. As advertiser, you want someone that is authentic to their audience, which, by default, most comics are even if they shoot themselves in the foot, you can kind of probably spread if you were looking into that, as a budget, you could probably spread that budget pretty good across a lot of comedians, that could throw the lifestyle part of it out there for you as content creators, just that are out there care packages,
2
Speaker 2
19:04
however much of those costs, with more of those up and whatever it costs to ship I'm
Law Smith
19:10
sure they're all love by affirmation, too. So all you do is go, Oh, my God,
19:16
when I got this box, you write stuff. All you have to do.
Law Smith
19:19
We love that you're talking about it. We love that you're doing a great job. Here's a treat Good boy. Yeah, like that's all you'd have to do to really keep them in the game. For free schwag I'm just starting out there, you can get down there. I'm not talking like your organs. I'm talking like, you know, third tier kind of level. But headliners have a following, but maybe not so good at finding sponsors themselves. So throwing it out there, what is what is your marketing mix? How do you do this? You have guidelines online, obviously, that we just kind of went over. What do you do in the traditional space?
3
Speaker 3
19:57
So it kind of depends on what our market is where Is the corporate brand with a genetics or whatever cannabinoid brands, because candidly, our CBD audience is a lot different than our delta eight audience. There's some overlap, of course, but the way I would market CBD, like I said, is different. They're more on Facebook. So we have, you know, the traditional neck. So of course, we have owned, we have paid. And we have shared, of course, things like that. So what you're talking about in terms of the community, we do have some of that. So recently, with our grand CO, we have looked at emerging communities that are being gathered together online. And that's actually worked out really well for us. Because one, there aren't community guidelines for platforms that are really just emerging. So that's worked out well. And then two is an opportunity for people to organically talk about their experiences. People love to talk about cannabis experiences. So as you mentioned, it's kind of the perfect storm. So things like this podcast, we are definitely happy to talk with you guys. If you guys need more products, happy to share the love.
Law Smith
21:06
We will always stay free products. But we would do it even if either of us wasn't ingesting or smoking any of them. We just like what y'all are doing. I'm guessing what you mean by that is, you know, your Facebook groups, right? Your maybe discord? But that might be a younger audience. I don't know. Reddit, Reddit, for sure. But you have to be an active redditor to be able to kind of work your way into the conversation.
2
Speaker 2
21:37
You can't the name would kill it in nursing homes. Right? Yeah.
MF
Matt Fernandez
21:43
I mean, hit in Florida, right there. But I'm sure you want to meet people like I'd be answering questions on Quora like crazy when people are trying to find that that right? That right CBD or whatever a Delta AIPAC
2
Speaker 2
22:02
become a knowledge base for people just become the go to authority? It's the best I mean, I
Law Smith
22:11
think and I'd be running holes on those things, taking that making your own Dana Yeah, make a blog post and then latch it that'll go up the SEO rankings, because then it's a research poll. That's from Neil Patel. That's not for me.
3
Speaker 3
22:25
You're absolutely right. And we've done some of that actually, we really engage with Twitter, specifically with Twitter spaces. So we looked at clubhouse and there was some engagement there. But Twitter spaces, we really blown it out of the park with a couple of spaces recently. But specifically, we started off with our FSU spaces, and build a community around National Signing Day. And a lot of the football talk. So recruiting talk, people gathered every day. In some cases, we would have 900 and 1000 on these talks talking about it. So
Law Smith
22:59
that's like the chat roulette of podcasts like you can kind of like that's what clubhouse was to me. You just like join in and listen as it's going live. And then maybe the best questions for people that are listening, I don't. I got in it. And I was like, I don't I don't get it. It's not for me, but I understand why it exists. Gentlemen, they
2
Speaker 2
23:18
bring you up on the virtual stage. Alright, so you sound like you know what you're talking about? Once you get up on this little thing?
Law Smith
23:25
Are we doing any meta? Are we doing any? VR AR that kind of stuff? I'm not yet just thinking about what do
2
Speaker 2
23:34
you like you throw that out there? Do you have some kind of lead into like what
Law Smith
23:39
I'm thinking as I'm putting myself in Robin shoes, and if I'm trying to look at the next thing that you can maybe get the best value out of as someone I'm assuming with a limited budget or a budget you wish was huge. And you're always trying to find if you can get that next platform or that next thing that like like Twitter spaces, or the thing that catches fire, if you can ride that wave, when it's starting to crest, right, like
2
Speaker 2
24:08
a lot of panic, get in early and then get that to that level, like carries over to other social media.
MF
Matt Fernandez
24:14
We keep talking about Twitch for this show. Like it's new. Right, but it's new to us. It's it's fully mature. Yeah, you know, and we're way out of the game. Yeah. But like or YouTube, or like, some things that we're just like, fuck it. We're not there, you know? But if we find something new that we found engaged with for the show, we be writing that shit all the way. So for y'all, I didn't know if there's anything where you're like, what's the next color almost future modeling of where you could be marketing. I didn't know if investment or ideas in that world.
3
Speaker 3
24:51
Yeah, I mean, personally, I think that that that people are now gathering after COVID and they're meeting in person. I think experiential opportunities are probably one of the number one opportunity. So it's one thing to talk about it online. It's another to be in person actually experiencing the products with your friends, which is something people have really missed a lot over the last two years. So I think that's probably the number one thing over the next couple of years.
Law Smith
25:16
Well, you know, and we're big proponents of snail mail, like we talk a lot of digital in the show, but snail mail is still you get if you could give them something good in the mail that they're not expecting. That is your audience. Right? Let's say you nurture that audience. You have their address and stuff. Maybe a scratch and sniff Oh, I love a scratch off. Even if it's a car dealership, I'm never going to
2
Speaker 2
25:39
scratch it stiff is different. The scratch off, but scratch off. It's cool to both. Yeah, we got to make it smell like the scratch off stuff. Lead to find out immediately.
Law Smith
25:49
It doesn't smell like a Hyundai. What were we talking? No. But I'm saying like, what do you get in the mail? That's good that you don't know is already coming? You like, yeah,
2
Speaker 2
25:59
the mail has now come back around, that you can take advantage of it and send somebody something and it's like this new crazy thing, right? Nobody does
Law Smith
26:08
that. That's why the handwritten letters such a big deal. We push it a lot on this show. Light? What are you thinking? Marketing restrictions wise? On the feedback side? I know you kind of touched on this, but is there anything from the customer side that you're trying to get in the mix? Compliance wise to use? Let's say testimonials? How do you do that?
4
Speaker 4
26:31
That's the most testimonials are one of the best things for us. I mean, we've got, you know, on the website, you know, we post, you know, testimonials on, you know, part of our social platform, you know, actually taking testimonials that are verified from customers through Shopify, and putting those up. Again, you know, testimonials are actually the best way for people to describe their experience without the brand making a non FDA compliant statement. So as a for instance, you know, Eric in Tampa loves the gummies. Because they make is they make good shoulders not hurt after a workout. They look buff on video. Yeah, you look great when he takes the sleeves off his shirts. And, you know, that's
Law Smith
27:15
all what you actually like, like we're doing.
2
Speaker 2
27:17
Right, but that testimonial, I knew this was gonna happen. Yeah, knew these sleeves are coming off.
4
Speaker 4
27:24
But I mean, that those are actually one of the best ways that we can interact with people from a feedback perspective. The other the other interesting part to it is, is trying to understand, you know, what is the next, like, not brand extension for what we currently have, like our current offering, we have watermelon gummies. And, you know, watermelon gummies, they taste great. I like the taste. But people are saying, well, yeah, watermelons, great, but like, I really like fruit punch, I really like blue raspberry, you know, kind of the, you know, what are the next things that people want of those same types of products. And so that's been, that's been kind of a feedback that we've been soliciting. And it's been good, you know, the Twitter space is part because you're getting to hear people, you know, people are talking about their experience. Granted, you know, it's within this kind of framework for college football and recruiting, but the group's we've engaged with, and then an awesome job about talking about the products, soliciting feedback, real time from people that are listening in to say, hey, you know, what do you like, what is something that that, uh, you know, how could this be better. And so, you know, we've got, really, we've got blue raspberry, and tropical bunch of gummies coming out from feedback that we got 30 days ago,
Law Smith
28:36
you know, something just, I don't need this mean this to be an all pitch ideas Show episode, but you're in a unique position where you're vertically integrated, you should really market the fact that you will take ideas from your audience, and spin them into actual movement, and not just bullshit. Like, if you can go we yeah, we really actually do listen to you. And we'll do your idea. Yeah,
2
Speaker 2
29:00
this is Frank's blue raspberry. gummies. Not like
MF
Matt Fernandez
29:04
his name on it. Like the opposite of like, the m&m color thing when they're like, you pick the color. And it's like, billions of people going, I want green, right? And it's like, Who gives a shit anyway, and who's counting these boats, but you can really make yours. The brand of people expressing ideas with a product that helps you create ideas and really express those ideas. Just throwing it out there. I want to make sure before we sign off, we we make sure we get in. You have a 420 promotion.
Law Smith
29:39
Before we get into that, I want to ask, we're kind of trying to make this work with spring break is now I know everybody's got different spring break. I don't know if Eric read the next show. No, no, I
29:51
did not. And I told you I would not
Law Smith
29:53
um, he's just he's allergic to him, I guess.
2
Speaker 2
29:56
I'm sorry. I was busy setting up all the cameras and whatnot.
MF
Matt Fernandez
29:59
That's all All right, that's cool. That's delegation of duty. I was fine. Helping with the pre Pro. All I'll ask the question I'll Vamp to give everybody a little bit of time to answer their own. What's the craziest Spring Break story? You have?
Law Smith
30:17
Yeah, I'll let you think mine was oh, six. We rented an RV coming out of Auburn. Rated RV with five other guys. And we called it horror tour 2006 I got very little ass on this. So it's kind of ironic. Yeah, yeah, it's kind of I shouldn't have compliance on that. But we got in here IRS. This will dovetail into we should have smoked more we should have done more weed related issues more cannabis kind of things. Oh, is because we all took shifts driving. My friend. Lincoln got so drunk after his shift was over. And he I was driving and then he passed out in the cat and the driver Captain seat up there. And then he passed out so we drew on
31:06
him he passed out in the driver's seat. You know, there's what's
Law Smith
31:08
it's not the it's the passenger seat. There's like the driver's seat. passenger seat
2
Speaker 2
31:14
in there. I like the the visual of him sleeping on your lap while you drive. Oh, that could have
Law Smith
31:18
very, very light knows him. So that very well could happen. Of course, he passed out in front of guys, which is the dumbest idea, especially when the rest of the cars drinking RV. And with nothing to do right, so they drew penises all over him. swastika because that's what you do. And when we went we actually stopped in Tampa the steak and shake across from plant High School in the middle of the night, and we got him to do the Heil Hitler. Not knowing he was just thinking it was just we're waving at people. And he has a Hitler mustache to make it worse. Sure. Um, and he didn't know and then he was pretty upset after he found out installed video of it that we took a mirror. He's I know well, I remember that. He saw his reflection in the glasses.
MF
Matt Fernandez
32:11
Oh, fuck. Then we drove to the keys. He got pissed at us. And then we drove to the keys, stayed in an RV park with all the Cox that live in Key West, which are pretty much old gays. And then stayed there. It was a gale time, but it was two months. We drank a little too much. And I would say we could have like I'll leave a lot out of this for legal purposes. Like you are my counsel on this. But you know, we could have chilled it out a little bit more. By having a little bit more read. A little bit more cannabis involved to kind of calm down
2
Speaker 2
32:48
so you're cool. Just leaving the story at we got too drunk in Key West where you're staying in the trailer park with all the old gays. Let's just leave it at that.
Law Smith
32:57
Yep. Okay. Yeah, we can shut out the old days to laws gay got hit on me a bunch. What? I guess I put out those vibes. Yeah, I'm like, you have a crazy Spring Break story.
4
Speaker 4
33:11
So I was reading the pre show notes and like one came to mind. I've got like one that's like the most illegal thing I've ever done. And then another that involves my wife. Actually, she told me the story. It's actually it's not me personally, it's the funniest thing that I've heard that's happened on spring break to a person that I know. So. Which do you prefer? Both funny
Law Smith
33:36
one. Yeah, the funnier one. If we have to choose one. Okay,
4
Speaker 4
33:39
so what same type of thing with Keywest went down with some of the SIG app guys. And I didn't know this at the time, but you can get arrested and put in prison for multiple years for jumping on and pulling turtles out of the water. Oh, yeah. So turtle molestation is a thing. I didn't know that at the time. But you know, we're writing well, that's
Law Smith
34:01
in Spanish do not disturb the turtles. Yes, the last day for good cause or something like that.
4
Speaker 4
34:07
So that was that was one so you know, drama. To see a large turtle another SIG app who will remain nameless for legal purposes. dives in get so lost gone.
Law Smith
34:20
Hitler. There's technically no SIG app at Auburn anymore. So you're kind of clear as Trey got kicked off for cocaine in 2016. So we're fine.
4
Speaker 4
34:29
They were having too much fun. But yeah, but But Okay, so that's the most illegal thing I've ever done. And then the funniest story I've ever heard is my wife is from Ohio. She went Ohio University big party school, had a lot of fun goes on a spring break trip with so that she lived in a house of all girls like six girls and then they live next to a house of old guys. The 12 people got into a van drove to Fort Lauderdale on the first night of spring break with They're in Fort Lauderdale at Fort Lauderdale Beach. The guys are like, Oh, it's gonna be great. Let's go to the strip club. They all pile into the band. They go to the strip club. My wife doesn't want to be there at you know she's at the time she's weirded out. He's still weirded out by it but coast in all the guys are messing with her they get the mainstage stripper named ISIS to come over for to terrify Maddie, a lap dance and in the middle of last lap dance. ISIS the stripper does a handstand in front of Maddie and throws her butt up and smashes Mattie's nose with her tailbone Fraser Leedy in the strip club and on the stripper in at like 2am at night on the first day of spring break. Pretty good. That's pretty good.
Law Smith
35:52
