  I'm your host, Bubba Starts, and with me today is Dual Shoot.
• 0:59
  Welcome to the shoot, brother.
• 1:01
  Hey.
• 1:01
  Hey.
• 1:02
  Thank you for the introduction, Bubba.
• 1:04
  No.
• 1:05
  I'm it's a pleasure to be on here, and I appreciate the the invite.
• 1:11
  Yeah.
• 1:12
  Well, mutual friend, Zach Motor, up there, you know, in Minnesota, let me know that he was
• 1:19
  gonna be at your show and a big part of it.
• 1:22
  And I was like, man, you you gotta connect me, with the man behind the scenes.
• 1:26
  I I saw, clips and stuff from the first show that you did, not last year, but earlier this
• 1:33
  year, right, in '25.
• 1:35
  And, yeah, I think it's great the way you're kinda blending communities together.
• 1:38
  But before we get into all of that and the show coming up here in November, I'd like to know
• 1:43
  you a little bit and get to know kind of who you are as a man.
• 1:47
  So, go ahead and give us a little bit of a rundown, and the floor is yours, man.
• 1:53
  Yeah.
• 1:54
  A little bit about me.
• 1:56
  I'm from South Sudan, so I I came here when I was four years old.
• 2:02
  But I have been a cannabis advocate for at least the last ten ten plus years, mainly just
• 2:09
  personal use, but it's definitely had a big impact on me the last five years after going
• 2:16
  through some challenges and, you know, quitting alcohol, which is probably, like, my biggest
• 2:22
  thing.
• 2:24
  But since then, about a couple years after that during COVID, after COVID actually actually,
• 2:32
  started my own business.
• 2:34
  And, really, I've just been running with it since.
• 2:38
  A little bit about myself, I enjoy the outdoors a lot.
• 2:42
  Love basketball.
• 2:44
  Love sports just in general, especially basketball and football.
• 2:48
  Love spending time with the family.
• 2:50
  Pretty introverted myself, but I have found a passion in hosting events, which is kinda new
• 2:56
  to me.
• 2:57
  Only really been doing it on this scale for maybe the past two years, but before that, we'd
• 3:03
  always host, you know, friends coming together, you know, cookouts with buddies and family.
• 3:09
  So there's always something that I enjoy, just kind of building building those, like, little
• 3:16
  get together, building community, and just having a good time with it.
• 3:19
  And that's kind of brought me to where I'm at here.
• 3:24
  Yeah.
• 3:25
  This is a little bit about myself, you know, faith, man of faith.
• 3:31
  Yeah.
• 3:31
  That's just yeah.
• 3:35
  Awesome, man.
• 3:36
  Well, love the backstory.
• 3:39
  Obviously, you know, coming here as a young, you know, young child, as a young man.
• 3:44
  Right?
• 3:45
  And and making a life here, obviously, loving the outdoors.
• 3:49
  I I would say it it's easy to it's easy to say that Minnesota is a lot different than South
• 3:55
  Sudan.
• 3:57
  And, you were you were old enough to to have memories of of living in Africa too.
• 4:03
  So I kinda wanna start there.
• 4:05
  You know, obviously, we have listeners mostly in The United States, but from all over.
• 4:10
  Not a lot of people have ever been to the African Continent, you know, much less.
• 4:15
  You know, most of them probably haven't even been out of the country.
• 4:18
  So can you kinda give us, you know, some some differences, which are obviously many, but
• 4:25
  maybe some of the similarities between life in Sudan and life here in The United States?
• 4:33
  So I am a little old enough to remember some things, but it's it's it's it's foggy.
• 4:40
  One thing just to mention is, like, during that time, especially four and three years old,
• 4:46
  there's a lot of things happening in South Sudan.
• 4:49
  There's currently still a war, but it was worse back then.
• 4:54
  And during that period was when my family immigrated from South Sudan to Ethiopia and
• 5:00
  then made their way here, as refugees in 1998.
• 5:05
  So that's kind of, what was going on.
• 5:09
  So during that time, there was just, like, you know, a lot of war, a lot of moving, a lot of
• 5:17
  just relying on the people around you for community, for, you know, for survival at that
• 5:26
  point.
• 5:26
  You know?
• 5:27
  I'm blessed to be able to make it here, especially knowing now, you know, what's what
• 5:33
  was going on there and especially to make it here with, you know, my whole family.
• 5:38
  It's even can't say anything more of it being a blessing.
• 5:44
  The biggest differences between, I guess, there and here is, you know, here, there's a lot more
• 5:50
  structure.
• 5:50
  Back there, it was a lot more rural.
• 5:54
  So my family is, like, you know, farmers.
• 5:56
  So that is kinda like our background there.
• 6:00
  So we had some fields, some some cattle.
• 6:03
  So life was a lot different than compared to here where you're you you have to get a job.
• 6:08
  Before, over there, you're growing what you have, taking care of, you know, livestocks and,
• 6:13
  you know, going to the market.
• 6:15
  That's that's more of what it was.
• 6:16
  And you you lived in family communities, so it wasn't everybody lived in different parts of
• 6:23
  the town.
• 6:23
  It was it was, you know, the whole family lived in that general area of, you know, of land
• 6:31
  together to take care of everything.
• 6:34
  But the the biggest difference, you know, there right now and here is definitely the
• 6:44
  opportunities, stark difference.
• 6:47
  And I haven't been back, but I think that's something I definitely am looking forward to in
• 6:54
  the future once things stabilize more.
• 6:57
  But, yeah, those are those are the the biggest difference.
• 7:01
  But now it's it's growing, and it's really great to see it grow.
• 7:06
  I think basketball has helped revitalize it considerably with the South Sudan South Sudan
• 7:14
  basketball team and just a lot of other business opportunities are start to come into
• 7:21
  the region now that the war is not as bad as it used to be.
• 7:25
  So I'm hoping in the next few years that, you know, things change for the better to where,
• 7:31
  you know, you can make a trip out there.
• 7:34
  Do some
• 7:35
  And I'm I'm assuming that you have, you know, extended family that that still live there.
• 7:40
  Do you still have contact with with some of your family in the area?
• 7:45
  So a lot of my extended family, they're in South Sudan or in the region of, like, Juba,
• 7:51
  but a majority of them are in Ethiopia, some of the other African countries, maybe like Kenya.
• 7:58
  I have still have some family in Australia, and a majority of my other family is actually here
• 8:02
  in The States.
• 8:06
  Well, that that's wonderful that you have so much of your family here.
• 8:11
  You know, I have friends who immigrated to The United States who came by themselves even at a
• 8:17
  young age and never have a chance to really go back and see their family, and that can be very
• 8:23
  tough.
• 8:24
  I mean, I've lived out of country before.
• 8:25
  I was in Mexico for close to a year, and I wasn't, I didn't leave on the best of terms,
• 8:32
  and I didn't have the ability to just come back whenever I wanted to.
• 8:35
  When I when I came back, it was for good.
• 8:38
  Right?
• 8:39
  And but it was very hard to live even there, and Mexico, I think, is a lot more developed
• 8:45
  and stable country, obviously, than a a country like Sudan is, especially in that time frame.
• 8:51
  Late nineties were not great for for anyone, for a lot of African and still a lot of African
• 8:57
  country countries are are torn apart by by civil wars or or just violence and mass
• 9:04
  violence in general.
• 9:05
  So I'm very grateful that that you're here and that you have the opportunities that you do to
• 9:12
  now grow your own business and to help others kinda get out there.
• 9:18
  And I know you guys just had for smoking on the runway, you just had your casting call.
• 9:22
  And I thought it was really great to see so many of the models who were just so excited
• 9:28
  about having the opportunity now to to make their dreams come true, right, to be featured
• 9:35
  on a runway and and to do that.
• 9:37
  So now you've you've taken the opportunities that you've been given, and now you've turned
• 9:42
  it into opportunities for others.
• 9:44
  And I think that's a really cool kinda full circle moment and not necessarily maybe the
• 9:49
  full circle because I think for you, it would be able to to going back into making a
• 9:54
  difference in your home country and not just your community here, you know, in the
• 9:58
  Minneapolis area.
• 10:00
  But to see it come around to creating opportunities for others, that's gotta be a
• 10:07
  really good feeling for you.
• 10:10
  No.
• 10:10
  It's the greatest feeling.
• 10:11
  It really reenergizes you.
• 10:13
  And, like, you've made a great point.
• 10:15
  Like, not many people are, you know, that fortunate, to be able to make it here.
• 10:21
  Like, I have five siblings, and both of my parents are still here.
• 10:25
  That is the ultimate blessing that I could ask for.
• 10:28
  Like, it is truly grateful for that because that's not the story you hear much.
• 10:35
  And like you mentioned, being away from your family just isolated like that, and and it
• 10:40
  could be in a developed country or undeveloped country.
• 10:43
  It's hard either way.
• 10:44
  It is very difficult.
• 10:46
  Your time in Mexico, how much time did you spend there?
• 10:49
  Almost a year.
• 10:50
  Just shy of a year.
• 10:51
  And I'm sure that time even though that was like you mentioned, it was difficult and made
• 10:57
  you want to come back, and I just can't say how grateful I am to have that.
• 11:03
  And to being able to like like, the the goal of the show was to showcase, you know, local
• 11:11
  brands in the cannabis space that never really get that type of publicity, you know, on a
• 11:16
  runway, getting that type of showcasing.
• 11:18
  There's only maybe a few handful of brands like maybe Cookies, LRG, Push Trees, are are are
• 11:26
  very well known across the country as, you know, mainly cannabis brands.
• 11:31
  And so that was an opportunity to create that here in Minnesota, having some experience as a
• 11:36
  photographer at Black Fashion Week.
• 11:38
  Some of the messages I get on online submissions from models, vendors, or designers
• 11:44
  are what definitely know like like, let me know that I'm definitely doing something, you know,
• 11:50
  impactful or I'm definitely doing the right thing right now because it's like, oh, I love
• 11:55
  art.
• 11:55
  I love cannabis.
• 11:56
  I wanted to be a model.
• 11:58
  I didn't know this was avail this was there, and I wanna be a part of this.
• 12:02
  It's really like, oh, inspiring hearing a lot of other people's stories with their use of it
• 12:08
  or how they got into modeling or becoming a designer.
• 12:12
  And we get the opportunity to, have a platform for them to kinda join to do exactly that.
• 12:21
  You know?
• 12:22
  I think one of the best parts about it is hearing stories from different people telling
• 12:26
  me, like, hey.
• 12:27
  I met the business that I worked for there.
• 12:31
  I met some of my closest friends there at that show.
• 12:34
  I just had that message before, and I'm like, yo.
• 12:35
  That is great to know because, you know, building that community of like minded people
• 12:39
  who have those same goals of just kinda, like, you know, helping each other, uplifting each
• 12:43
  other, and you're getting responses from people like, hey.
• 12:47
  I've met my closest friends at your show or at your model call, and we're still, you know,
• 12:53
  very close now, and it's been two plus years.
• 12:56
  Like, especially during a time when it's very digitalized and, you know, many people are not
• 13:01
  really as close as they were.
• 13:02
  There's a lot of isolation going on.
• 13:03
  That's as great.
• 13:04
  That's that's, like, the best part about it.
• 13:07
  Well and you're doing a great job of bringing people out of that digital world and bringing
• 13:11
  them together in these physical spaces, and that's something that the SCENE projects,
• 13:16
  especially, have really strived to do in our short time.
• 13:19
  We've only been a podcast and a brand for, you know, eighteen months or so, but we've proven
• 13:25
  ourselves as someone who is a connector.
• 13:27
  And that's what I that's what I would consider you as well.
• 13:30
  Someone who knows a lot of people, but not just knows them, knows how to bring them together
• 13:35
  and to connect businesses and brands with other people that are in that space and maybe
• 13:41
  bringing together two two spaces that you wouldn't usually put together.
• 13:46
  Right?
• 13:46
  Fashion is usually seen as something that is kind of, a list or on a different level, and
• 13:52
  the cannabis industry is very still underground even though it's legal.
• 13:56
  It's not talked about.
• 13:57
  It's still a little taboo, and you're kind of bringing them together on an equal footing.
• 14:02
  And I think that's really cool to see it come together.
• 14:04
  I myself, a cannabis user.
• 14:06
  Duo, the reason I was in Mexico is because I got felonies set for selling marijuana back
• 14:11
  when before we had a medical program in South Dakota or anything.
• 14:14
  Now I have a license where I can go and grow and use it and and all these things.
• 14:19
  We don't have recreational use here, but just the juxtaposition, right, of where times have
• 14:25
  changed.
• 14:25
  Right?
• 14:26
  This was ten years ago that I had caught my charges.
• 14:29
  So, you know, a whole decade has gone by.
• 14:32
  And now they it's time to ditch some of the stigmas.
• 14:35
  Right?
• 14:35
  And I feel like that's what you're doing in bringing the two worlds together that we are,
• 14:41
  we're really seeing the world open up a little bit for us.
• 14:46
  No.
• 14:47
  No.
• 14:47
  And I completely agree.
• 14:48
  And, like, especially in your situation, I know South Dakota from having friends and family
• 14:53
  back there, catching a charge myself back in 2018 for for cannabis myself, lost a lot, and
• 15:00
  had to go through a process of building it back again.
• 15:03
  Right?
• 15:04
  I'm sure you understand that as well as anybody when you go through that trial of, you know,
• 15:11
  this is something that helps you, but it's so, like, you know, frowned upon that, you know,
• 15:17
  you are being treated as somebody that you really are not.
• 15:21
  I'm not over here harming anybody with it.
• 15:23
  You know what I'm saying?
• 15:24
  At that, at the end of the day.
• 15:26
  But did, and I guess I'm maybe going off track.
• 15:32
  But, like, when you were going through those, situation and you when you went back to Mexico
• 15:37
  and when you came here, is that something that you had to go through the legal process with?
• 15:42
  And now Oh, yeah.
• 15:43
  Oh, yeah.
• 15:44
  I did two years in prison, Duel.
• 15:46
  I I did two years and two years of my life that I lost.
• 15:50
  And then two years after I got out and off of parole Right.
• 15:54
  We had passed the medical program, and I was able to go and get a license to grow it.
• 15:59
  So you're like, okay.
• 16:00
  Well, that was worth two years of my life behind bars.
• 16:03
  So, yes, I'm very, very open about that experience.
• 16:08
  Now, personally, did it change my life for the better?
• 16:12
  Yes.
• 16:12
  It did.
• 16:13
  The two years in prison, I learned a trade.
• 16:15
  I met my wife.
• 16:16
  A lot of great things happened.
• 16:18
  So in one hand, I'm I'm grateful that it it I turned it into a positive.
• 16:24
  But, also, that was two years of my life away from my children, you know, of which I had
• 16:30
  three at the time that I'll never get that time with them back.
• 16:35
  Right?
• 16:35
  And I don't think anybody for, you know, for cannabis use And granted, you know, I had a
• 16:41
  lot, and it was, you know, distribution charges that I but if I could have gone to the store
• 16:45
  and bought it like I can now, I would have never gone to the lengths to get it and have
• 16:51
  the you know, as much as I did to catch distribution charges for it.
• 16:57
  Right?
• 16:57
  So they it it would have changed my life.
• 17:01
  If we had already had a medical program, even just the medical, not even recreational use, if
• 17:06
  we had had a medical program, I would have never gone to prison.
• 17:08
  Right?
• 17:09
  Right.
• 17:09
  And it's easy for me to say that with with a thousand percent confidence because I've now
• 17:15
  I've been out, and it's not I mean, of course, I I'm not trying to go back to prison, and I'm
• 17:20
  not trying to to go back and and lose more of my my life to this.
• 17:25
  But for a simple plan, I just don't believe that anybody should be losing years of their
• 17:30
  life for it and and to be associated with criminals who are, you know, selling fentanyl
• 17:37
  and methamphetamines and cocaine.
• 17:40
  Right?
• 17:40
  Like, to be pulled into that group of people is just like, well, that wasn't that wasn't me at
• 17:45
  all.
• 17:45
  Right?
• 17:46
  So, you know, I I I'm very I don't know.
• 17:51
  You know?
• 17:52
  I I ride that line.
• 17:52
  I don't want it to be illegal.
• 17:54
  I I don't I don't regret necessarily the time that I had to spend.
• 17:59
  Is it a little bit of a shame that I missed out on two years with my children?
• 18:03
  Yes.
• 18:04
  Did I turn it into a positive?
• 18:05
  Yes.
• 18:06
  I did.
• 18:06
  But I shouldn't have had I shouldn't have had to.
• 18:08
  Right?
• 18:09
  I I it should have been legal in the first place and to where we are now, and and I would
• 18:15
  have never made the decisions that I did, you know, for five years prior to that.
• 18:20
  It wouldn't have been an option.
• 18:21
  So I I have a very special relationship with the cannabis plant and with how it's changed
• 18:29
  over the course of the last ten years in society.
• 18:33
  They call it the plant of life for good reason.
• 18:35
  It can change so much, and you're not a violent person.
• 18:38
  So why are you being treated as a violent offender serving that much time for something
• 18:45
  that is currently being used for medicinal purposes for generations?
• 18:50
  People were using it before in every single how would you say?
• 18:57
  In every single nation and, like, civilization before this, cannabis has always been around as
• 19:04
  a medicinal purpose.
• 19:05
  So why is it now that you are serving that much time for it where now that you're out and you
• 19:11
  see, like, people are making a living off of it?
• 19:15
  Why you know, you you shouldn't have to you didn't have you shouldn't have had to go
• 19:18
  through that.
• 19:20
  I what I do commend you for is, like, what you mentioned, you made it into a positive.
• 19:24
  I I served, like, maybe about two months and then was on probation for two years.
• 19:30
  You made a positive after that situation, after you lost so much time, like you mentioned with
• 19:34
  your family.
• 19:35
  You didn't become, how would you say, angry about it.
• 19:41
  You were like, man, that was a terrible experience.
• 19:43
  I hope nobody else has to go through that.
• 19:45
  So let me advocate.
• 19:46
  Let me create something positive out of it, and that's what you're doing right now.
• 19:49
  And that's, you know, that's, I I think, that's something that we have similarities on because
• 19:57
  one thing that I feel like the plant has done a lot for is give people another option for
• 20:05
  healing.
• 20:05
  I've seen my mom go through opioids because of back surgery where she couldn't move.
• 20:12
  So she had to be on pharmaceuticals, and I've seen how that could be, not into a point where
• 20:20
  it's, like, addictive or anything else like that, but it's the fact that she could have had
• 20:24
  some holistic medicine that could have helped her with those pains or even had those options,
• 20:32
  but just the negative stigma against it.
• 20:35
  You know, people in who are from the sixties or seventies, they saw the war on drugs.
• 20:40
  They're terrified of cannabis.
• 20:42
  But now you're starting to see some of the older people accepting it, using it because
• 20:47
  it's now legal, but they could have had this opportunity the whole time to help alleviate
• 20:52
  some of those things.
• 20:53
  But, yeah, those those the the the fact of the matter is it is here now, which is great.
• 21:02
  Right?
• 21:03
  I'm definitely enjoying for what it is and continue to create these type of opportunities
• 21:09
  and these type of community events to help showcase the people who are thriving with it.
• 21:14
  Because everyone that I meet well, majority of people I meet, especially in the artistic
• 21:18
  community where it's, you know, still kinda taboo, but, you know, you can have a wine, but
• 21:22
  you can't have a joint.
• 21:23
  Like, you know what I'm saying?
• 21:24
  Or, like, as a soccer mom or these type of negative connotations around it.
• 21:28
  Like, oh, you're gonna turn into this person or you're just going to be
• 21:34
  What I what I love about now is that because we have the legalization and we've been able to
• 21:41
  like, you don't have to smoke cannabis No.
• 21:45
  Anymore to get the the feeling, right, or to get the the good effects of it.
• 21:50
  Right?
• 21:51
  There's so many THC drinks, and there's topicals, and there's all of these things that
• 21:56
  we could have been so much further down the line technologically with the plants and with
• 22:02
  its, not just use, but with its, you know, application.
• 22:06
  Right?
• 22:07
  That we're on the tip of the spear now.
• 22:10
  Right?
• 22:10
  We're just at the tip of the spear and where it goes from here is anyone's guess, really.
• 22:16
  We we know how hemp can be used.
• 22:19
  South Dakota is actually the biggest producer of hemp in the country, in the world.
• 22:24
  So that's something that we we take a lot of pride in, but we face all of these stigmas
• 22:30
  still to this day.
• 22:31
  And I think it comes down to not just, like, conferences and sit down meetings where you're
• 22:37
  educating people.
• 22:38
  It takes events like yours to really break the stigma where you can bring two worlds that you
• 22:44
  wouldn't typically put together together and to show that and to have people start to look at
• 22:50
  things differently.
• 22:51
  And that's why I think what you're doing is so important and and why I think we need a lot
• 22:56
  more events like this.
• 22:57
  We know that music and cannabis have gone together for a long time, but now to see
• 23:03
  fashion in cannabis.
• 23:05
  And then, you know, a lot more things are going to come from this.
• 23:10
  So I think people seeing your event and getting to know, you know, getting to know it as
• 23:20
  something else, right, other than a taboo is so important.
• 23:25
  So take us into what the show kind of pertains.
• 23:28
  I'd really like to kind of cover a little bit before I have to let you go today.
• 23:32
  Like, what are people gonna get when they show up on November 9 to smoking on the runway at
• 23:38
  Hook and Ladder?
• 23:40
  So this is gonna be your first time there.
• 23:42
  This is gonna be our fifth show.
• 23:43
  So if you've seen any of our content from previously, you're gonna get a spectacular
• 23:50
  show.
• 23:51
  Some of the most creative designers in Minnesota.
• 23:53
  One thing that I do wanna mention, and, you know, congratulations to South Dakota for being
• 23:58
  the largest hemp manufacturer because hemp is one of the most sustainable resources there is,
• 24:05
  especially for clothing.
• 24:06
  You know?
• 24:07
  It doesn't have as much waste.
• 24:10
  It is more durable, so it lasts longer, and it can be applied in so many different ways from
• 24:17
  clothing to oils to textiles.
• 24:19
  And what we're doing there is showcasing that.
• 24:23
  So most of the designers there either they work cannabis brands already that are just getting
• 24:29
  the showcase that they deserve, or they are it's it's gonna be the high fashion edition.
• 24:35
  So they're going to be very cut and sew, one of ones where they are going to put either hemp
• 24:43
  material into their fabrics and into their pieces, or they're going to have some symbolism
• 24:48
  or some color that is cannabis related.
• 24:51
  So now it's getting other designers to really kind of incorporate that into their into their
• 24:58
  designs.
• 24:58
  So you're gonna see some one of a kind fashion.
• 25:02
  You're gonna have, like, a front row seat in something very, how would you say, very media
• 25:09
  like.
• 25:11
  Right?
• 25:11
  There's gonna be actual photographers.
• 25:14
  It's gonna be lights, the cameras, action.
• 25:17
  There's gonna be multiple activations.
• 25:19
  Like you mentioned, we try to have the designer aspect.
• 25:22
  We yeah.
• 25:24
  Some live painters because, like you mentioned, art and cannabis have always been one.
• 25:28
  We're gonna have some live entertainment for some music, and then we're gonna actually have
• 25:31
  those same designers, you know, being able to have tables to for for the for the people
• 25:37
  coming who want to actually, you know, connect with them, who want to get some of their,
• 25:41
  brands.
• 25:42
  And what we're also gonna have is we're gonna have outside, we're gonna have plenty of
• 25:47
  Minnesota local brands who are gonna be sampling their products.
• 25:51
  So if you haven't had an edible, if you haven't had a drink before, you can get some education
• 25:56
  on it because we'll have some service providers there that can help you.
• 26:01
  Like, let me let me give you an example.
• 26:03
  Kayla Fearing, healing fear consulting.
• 26:07
  She helps people get from opioids to cannabis.
• 26:10
  She'll educate you on the whole endo endocannabinoid system.
• 26:14
  We'll have some nurses there to help educate, you know, first time users as well.
• 26:17
  I I only knew smoking I only knew cannabis smoking since I was in high school.
• 26:22
  Right?
• 26:23
  So that's the that's what I've known.
• 26:24
  But with this, you'll be able to connect with Minnesota brands that have been around for the
• 26:29
  past six, ten years educating people on cannabis, CBD, and you'll be able to actually
• 26:34
  try their products there, you know, firsthand and get real, education on it instead of what
• 26:42
  you're probably seeing online or, you know, if you're just kinda curious.
• 26:46
  That's what I like to say.
• 26:47
  You know?
• 26:48
  You're curious about it.
• 26:48
  You wanna see what it's like.
• 26:50
  And, you know, you can go and experience it all.
• 26:53
  They'll you can go smoke outside.
• 26:54
  They they they'll have some people doing samples, and you can really get to experience
• 26:59
  all four of the activations.
• 27:01
  You get to enjoy the show.
• 27:02
  You'll get some education.
• 27:03
  You'll go enjoy some live artists, some music as well, and really connect with everyone
• 27:08
  there.
• 27:08
  And the best part about the show, we have people there from 21 to 60 enjoying the same
• 27:15
  thing, communicating, building community, and it's all all races, you know, and everybody
• 27:23
  there is there to have a good time with the plant and the community they love.
• 27:30
  Bringing people together.
• 27:31
  I would say that cannabis has been doing it for a lot longer, but for the last two years, Dual,
• 27:36
  you've been doing a heck of a job of it.
• 27:38
  I absolutely love everything I'm hearing about the show.
• 27:41
  I love that you are bringing not just the fashion and cannabis together, but you're
• 27:47
  bringing these companies out to educate.
• 27:49
  So you're bringing people out to entertain.
• 27:52
  You're giving these designers a chance to talk about their art, not just to see it up there,
• 27:57
  but to actually communicate with the community.
• 28:00
  And I think what you're doing is just incredible, man.
• 28:03
  I can't wait to come up there on November 9 at the hook and ladder.
• 28:07
  It's gonna be a fantastic show.
• 28:09
  We got the ticket link scrolling down there.
• 28:11
  There will be tickets available on-site as well.
• 28:14
  So if you don't know if you're gonna make it or not, you can come out at the last minute and
• 28:19
  grab those.
• 28:19
  But you got some real great VIP seating there.
• 28:22
  So I wanna recommend everybody find you on Instagram as well, smoking on the runway.
• 28:27
  And, Duel, anything else that you wanna plug before I let you go?
• 28:31
  One more thing that I wanna plug in.
• 28:33
  The Hook and Ladder, a nonprofit arts and community space right now that's been around
• 28:39
  for the past ten years.
• 28:40
  They have done extraordinary work being, bringing in the community and, like, being an
• 28:49
  advocate for the disenfranchised in a way, right, especially in the arts and theater
• 28:53
  community from, you know, cannabis to the LGBT community.
• 28:58
  And one thing that I just wanna say is currently right now, they're doing a fundraiser
• 29:02
  to keep themselves, you know, operational for the next ten years.
• 29:07
  They currently have it in their bio.
• 29:09
  If you go to the hookminneapolis.com or the hook minneapolis on IG, it's in their bio.
• 29:15
  If you can donate, I think they're trying to raise $75,000 by the October.
• 29:21
  If 7,500 people who love cannabis, art, and who wanna keep an independent venue going, it's $10
• 29:28
  a person.
• 29:29
  But I just wanted to put that out there to help continue to support them.
• 29:32
  This is gonna be our second show there.
• 29:33
  I had our anniversary event there, and the hook has been nothing but the best, you know,
• 29:39
  partners to work with.
• 29:41
  They have the greatest staff there, and it's just been a pleasure to work with them.
• 29:45
  And I wanna continue to work with them for a while to go.
• 29:48
  So if you can, share that and, you know, tell a friend, and you can donate what you can.
• 29:55
  That's all I would say.
• 29:56
  You know?
• 29:56
  Definitely help them out and can keep go having events like this there because once you see the
• 30:02
  space, you'll understand why, you know, you wanna keep it there.
• 30:05
  You know?
• 30:06
  Well, shout out to the hook and ladder.
• 30:08
  I've seen the name a lot, but I didn't realize they were run nonprofit.
• 30:12
  And it just changes it because they can invite people like us, both of us, that don't have a
• 30:18
  ton of money to rent a venue and to do these things.
• 30:20
  But, really, all we're we're not trying to make money doing what we're doing.
• 30:24
  Would it be nice to have expenses paid for?
• 30:26
  Yes.
• 30:27
  But, usually, that largest expense is renting the venue.
• 30:30
  So working with a place like the Hook and Ladder, huge shout out to them.
• 30:35
  We will be sharing it on our channels and then helping them to raise some funds.
• 30:39
  So, Dual, thanks for giving me some of your time today, man.
• 30:42
  It was great to talk about the show.
• 30:43
  I can't wait to meet you in person in November, and thanks for being part of the scene.
• 30:49
  Thank you, Bubba.
• 30:50
  And I just wanna give a shout out to the team as well.
• 30:52
  I know I can't forget about that.
• 30:54
  There's Kara.
• 30:55
  There's Naga.
• 30:56
  There's Shamika who's helping out, and so many volunteers and sponsors who have Lake Street
• 31:02
  Lift was one of our grant sponsors, Foundry Nation, another sponsor there, and the team at
• 31:07
  Balance.
• 31:08
  They have always been great and from the product sponsors as well.
• 31:11
  So just wanna give a last shout out to them before going off.
• 31:14
  I really appreciate the time, Bubba, and thank you to Zach Motor for the warm introduction and
• 31:20
  the connection there, and I can't wait to see you at our next show.
