Full transcript

1. 0:00Well,
2. 0:02I got to admit. So, I watched this video
3. 0:05earlier this week and I was just
4. 0:07thinking to myself like,
5. 0:09"Man, you know, with all the fights
6. 0:11going on, you know, in the cannabis
7. 0:13industry as of the last few year."
8. 0:15And just like, yeah, you know, all the
9. 0:17behind-the-scenes bickering.
10. 0:19Um and of course, you whatever, All Bay
11. 0:21Cannabis is not a retail,
12. 0:24you know, cannabis company. We are
13. 0:25literally a magazine
14. 0:27um that backs, you know,
15. 0:30a slew of cannabis companies. And so,
16. 0:32we're we're definitely not in the mix
17. 0:34as,
18. 0:36you know, some of these guys right here.
19. 0:37You know, I'll be the first to say it.
20. 0:40But, what I will also say is that uh
21. 0:44yeah, this was really interesting
22. 0:45because I was thinking to myself like,
23. 0:47"Oh, wow, okay, these are like two big
24. 0:49players and, you know, they've done
25. 0:52linked up." And so, that was what the
26. 0:54perception was with this video right
27. 0:56here.
28. 0:58But, then it seems like
29. 0:59all kinds of other stuff happened right
30. 1:01after. Let's watch the video.
31. 1:05>> What's up, everybody? It's Ryan [music]
32. 1:07from Doja. I'm out here today with
33. 1:08Sherbinski's. I've been getting asked a
34. 1:10lot of questions lately about the
35. 1:11company, what's going on. So, I want to
36. 1:13clarify a few things. [music] So, um the
37. 1:15company is under new ownership. You
38. 1:17know, they're bringing in some new
39. 1:18energy,
40. 1:19bringing in some new genetics, bringing
41. 1:21back some old genetics, new versions of
42. 1:23those. So, um same name, some of the
43. 1:25same foundational strains that
44. 1:28created [music] the movement in the
45. 1:29first place. So, um I'm I'm going to be
46. 1:31working as head of genetics for the
47. 1:33Sherbinski's [music] company moving
48. 1:34forward. We're going to be reintroducing
49. 1:36some of the
50. 1:38old stuff, but new versions of it. We're
51. 1:40working with new genetics as well to
52. 1:41bring it into the [music] uh into the
53. 1:43next era. So,
54. 1:45this is a new season for the company and
55. 1:47we have a lot of things [music] working.
56. 1:48So, I'll see everybody also in New York
57. 1:50at the Revelry show in September. And
58. 1:53yeah, stay tuned. [music]
59. 1:55>> So, then all of a sudden, I see a bunch
60. 1:56of like memes of
61. 1:59Ryan from Doja seemingly like taking
62. 2:03over other brands. And so then I'm
63. 2:04thinking to myself like
64. 2:06what the hell is going on? Like, you
65. 2:09know what I mean? Like, you got him
66. 2:12getting all these memes from all these,
67. 2:14you know, different big heads in the
68. 2:15cannabis industry. You know what I mean?
69. 2:17Like, you got some people just kind of
70. 2:19harping on him. You got obviously, you
71. 2:22know, famous sticker farmer here. He's
72. 2:24always coming through with the the clean
73. 2:27promotions and uh his timing tends tends
74. 2:31to be spot-on uh while things are going
75. 2:34on. And so I kind of went to his page
76. 2:37and he's got some great things to say
77. 2:39that I'm going to put towards the end of
78. 2:40the video. But like yeah, basically what
79. 2:44it appears this is that Sherbinski
80. 2:47obviously no longer is no longer in
81. 2:49control of his orange brand anymore, at
82. 2:51least not with the original name
83. 2:54attached to it. Um so that's kind of a
84. 2:57developing story that I guess is
85. 2:59becoming a little bit more of a common
86. 3:02tale right now in the cannabis industry
87. 3:04because all these big names have, you
88. 3:07know, taken private equity
89. 3:09uh from other people and
90. 3:11yeah.
91. 3:12Now, if you're rattled already, I got to
92. 3:14admit. So, this video right here
93. 3:17kind of opened up your eyes completely
94. 3:20to what was actually going on. But this
95. 3:22is Doja
96. 3:24uh Ryan personally addressing all the
97. 3:27memes that I just showed you. And there
98. 3:28was another good one by Preferred
99. 3:30Gardens, but I really [snorts] can't
100. 3:31find it. I think he took it off the
101. 3:33internet cuz he didn't want to be a part
102. 3:34of the circus, but at the end of the
103. 3:36day,
104. 3:37uh you know, anytime the business is out
105. 3:39there, you know, the circus is there.
106. 3:41And so hence I'm here, we're commenting
107. 3:44on it and yeah, as much as I don't want
108. 3:46to uh cuz I respect all these guys,
109. 3:49obviously. Like, these guys are legacy
110. 3:51brands talking on the internet and make
111. 3:54no mistake about it.
112. 3:56If you're not in that percentile, you
113. 3:58know, you might want to proceed in this
114. 4:00conversation with caution. I know I'm
115. 4:02going to because like I said, I respect
116. 4:05all these guys. What I will comment on
117. 4:07with this video right here is that as a
118. 4:10person of the press who really does want
119. 4:13to treat these cannabis brands like some
120. 4:15type of rock stars in their own right in
121. 4:18their own timing of life. These guys are
122. 4:20definitely modern-day rock stars in the
123. 4:23cannabis industry. And so like
124. 4:25Sherbinski is definitely one of them
125. 4:27ones. And so yeah, when I've reached out
126. 4:29to him in the past and tried to give him
127. 4:31the accolades of just you know, me being
128. 4:34a publication. I always felt like I kind
129. 4:36of wasn't good enough to talk to him
130. 4:38after done after at least trying to. And
131. 4:40there's nothing no shade to him. Like,
132. 4:42you know, this is a operator who's busy
133. 4:44who I've found when even I've tried to
134. 4:46reach out to him, he's
135. 4:48looked and appeared busy. And so hey, if
136. 4:52somebody doesn't have the five seconds
137. 4:53for me, I come from the music industry.
138. 4:55We're used to this. And so, you know,
139. 4:58you know, big shout out to Sherbinski.
140. 5:00Despite all that, I've always bought his
141. 5:01product and I've always supported his
142. 5:04brand and I always still support
143. 5:06whatever Mario does in the future no
144. 5:07matter if he's with Sherbinski or if he
145. 5:09launches a new brand. But
146. 5:12I think that Ryan
147. 5:14put some valid points out there. I think
148. 5:16other people definitely have some other
149. 5:18valid points and I kind of wanted to
150. 5:19just like share [snorts] the full visual
151. 5:22of what I see online and then kind of
152. 5:25you guys tell me your thoughts, but
153. 5:27is Ryan in the right
154. 5:29for dealing with another operator's
155. 5:31brand without the original operator. I
156. 5:34think that's the major question here.
157. 5:36And honestly, I think
158. 5:39with brands like Sherbinski, those are
159. 5:41brands that should be preserved. And and
160. 5:43if
161. 5:45you know, my honest take is that if
162. 5:46Mario somehow lost control of his brand,
163. 5:49that was a decision he made long ago.
164. 5:52And I'm sure Mario being the cultivator
165. 5:55and just the visionary that he is, I'm
166. 5:57sure that he has, you know, bigger plans
167. 6:00for himself, you know, beyond
168. 6:03Sherbinski's, hopefully. And
169. 6:07I think that I'm kind of with, you know,
170. 6:09Sticker Farmer on what he says, which
171. 6:10I'm going to put that at the end, but
172. 6:12it's a lot of stuff that people don't
173. 6:14understand. And
174. 6:16I know from operating a company, a
175. 6:17mid-size company, not a big, but maybe a
176. 6:20small to mid.
177. 6:22Yeah, you got to be really gung ho about
178. 6:24who you let in your company. And so,
179. 6:26you know, for whatever reason, if if
180. 6:29Sherbinski's is under new ownership,
181. 6:31hey, you know what? It's common. It
182. 6:33happens every day.
183. 6:35But anyways, let's listen to what
184. 6:37Let's listen to what Ryan has to say
185. 6:39here. I think this is going to be
186. 6:41kind of interesting.
187. 6:43And then we're also going to hear what
188. 6:44Mario has to say about it.
189. 6:47>> Hey, what's up, everybody? I
190. 6:49You know, I was thinking about not
191. 6:50responding, but I have so many people
192. 6:51that are reaching out to me asking me
193. 6:53for a response. So, I just figured, you
194. 6:54know,
195. 6:56I'm clarify a few things. So, number
196. 6:58one, you know, I carried the Sherbinski
197. 7:00brand on my back for 4 years straight.
198. 7:03Mario and the rest of the Cookie Fam
199. 7:05turned their backs on you and stopped
200. 7:06working with you, I was there.
201. 7:09Connected wasn't [ __ ] with you.
202. 7:11I still stayed neutral.
203. 7:13I carried your [ __ ] like it was my own
204. 7:15brother, wrapped it in the streets for
205. 7:174 to 5 years until until no one wanted
206. 7:20it anymore.
207. 7:21And you shut down the grows.
208. 7:23And you know, the whole time it was
209. 7:26always about you. I was cool with that.
210. 7:28When your partners ask you to do a
211. 7:30collab with Doja in 2023 because I did
212. 7:32MVP of the year that year, you told them
213. 7:35no, that's beneath me. He's mejo. You
214. 7:37called you always always sunning me,
215. 7:39right? And you know, so I never thought
216. 7:42you were my friend. Let's just be
217. 7:43honest. I was never confused thinking,
218. 7:45"Oh, Mario is my friend." Like I knew
219. 7:46what it was. I understand the dynamic of
220. 7:48the relationship.
221. 7:51So, when somebody who is my friend,
222. 7:53you know, you know who I'm speaking
223. 7:55about, some of the owners of of Prime
224. 7:57Time,
225. 7:58come around and, you know, add to my
226. 8:00situation, help me out by taking product
227. 8:03from my farm,
228. 8:05you know, put me into situations that
229. 8:07are beneficial to me, you know,
230. 8:10my loyalty's going to go with my
231. 8:12friends. And when they asked me, you
232. 8:13know, before the Sherbinski deal and I
233. 8:15found out what was going on, I reached
234. 8:16out to you like a man, brother.
235. 8:18You you you can you can play it on the
236. 8:21on the thing like I blew you up, this
237. 8:22guy doesn't ever call me, and I'm
238. 8:24telling you I need the money, brother. I
239. 8:25called you and told you
240. 8:27that I'm about to get down with these
241. 8:29guys. If there's any way I can try to
242. 8:30mediate the situation, I'm down to do
243. 8:32that. I'm doing it out of respect for
244. 8:34the brand. I know you still own a piece
245. 8:36of the brand. You should You should want
246. 8:37the brand to do well, right?
247. 8:40So,
248. 8:41I feel like, you know, I I try to cover
249. 8:43every base and do everything as,
250. 8:46you know, copacetic as possible.
251. 8:49So, for you to come online, air me out,
252. 8:52yeah, we're not collaborators because
253. 8:53you never cuz it's beneath you, brother.
254. 8:55I'm mi hijo.
255. 8:57I'm your son.
256. 8:59You understand what I'm saying? So, I
257. 9:00never was confused by any of that. You
258. 9:02always, you know, had a certain level of
259. 9:05arrogance to you, and I just always blew
260. 9:07that off. I don't even care, brother.
261. 9:08I'm still here. You understand what I'm
262. 9:10saying? So, if you want to,
263. 9:11you know, sit down like men and talk
264. 9:13about [ __ ] we can do that. If you want
265. 9:15to go online and [ __ ] try to air me
266. 9:16out online, we can do that because
267. 9:18you're the one that made the decisions
268. 9:19to get you into the position that you're
269. 9:21in today.
270. 9:22You know, I didn't make those decisions.
271. 9:24I made different decisions, which is why
272. 9:26I'm where I'm at today.
273. 9:28So, it's not cool for you to go online
274. 9:30and spell out a narrative that's that's
275. 9:33false and act like other people are the
276. 9:35ones that are
277. 9:36being deceitful. I never betrayed you.
278. 9:39I'm doing what I do best. I'm getting in
279. 9:42where I fit in and I'm offering value to
280. 9:44friends of mine that are offering value
281. 9:46to me and that's what I recommend
282. 9:47everybody in business do.
283. 9:49And it was never something against you
284. 9:51and which is why I tried to
285. 9:53work things out with the whole situation
286. 9:55in the first place.
287. 9:57Like a true friend should.
288. 10:00But like you said, you're not my friend.
289. 10:01But anyway, I just wanted to give you
290. 10:02that. Hope you have a good day, brother.
291. 10:04>> Everybody, it's Mr. Sherbinski, aka
292. 10:07Sherb, [music] aka Mario Guzman.
293. 10:10Happy to report to you guys that I've
294. 10:11been in the garden. I've been doing what
295. 10:13I love to do, breeding and selecting new
296. 10:15genetics. I can honestly say since I
297. 10:18made Sunset Sherbert and Gelato, uh
298. 10:20these are the best genetics to date that
299. 10:22I made and I can't wait to share them
300. 10:23with all you guys. You know in 2020, I
301. 10:24created a brand Voice of the Plant to
302. 10:26house all my original Gelato genetics
303. 10:28and anything I make.
304. 10:30I created Sherbinski's the brand, but
305. 10:32they're not the owners of my genetics
306. 10:33and never have been. That's housed at
307. 10:35the Voice of the Plant.
308. 10:37>> [music]
309. 10:39>> There's been a lot of noise going around
310. 10:40that I've sold my company. I just wanted
311. 10:42to clear the air. Um it's pretty
312. 10:44impressive because with things like
313. 10:45that, I normally loop myself in about
314. 10:47big decisions like that. I never sold a
315. 10:49single share of my company. So, I wanted
316. 10:51to clear up all the noise that's been
317. 10:52going around online about that.
318. 10:56In 2023, I did a merger with a company
319. 10:58called Prime Time. Let me educate you
320. 11:00guys cuz there's been a lot of lies and
321. 11:02misconceptions and the narrative's been
322. 11:04spun in a way that I don't like. A
323. 11:06merger is when two companies come
324. 11:07together as one.
325. 11:09Prime Time was mainly a wholesale flower
326. 11:11company at the time. They also owned a
327. 11:13failing brand called Boutique. They made
328. 11:15a lot of promises to me. Some of those
329. 11:17were scaling my genetics nationally,
330. 11:19giving me an executive role,
331. 11:21uh a flagship store in LA, bonuses and
332. 11:25and other things they never delivered
333. 11:26on. So, after the merger, I spent a year
334. 11:28and a half advocating for our combined
335. 11:30business. I actually closed one of the
336. 11:31only licensing deals that they did in
337. 11:33that time, which was in Florida. I also
338. 11:35went around the world talking about our
339. 11:37combined business and advocating,
340. 11:38bringing all my resources and clout.
341. 11:41The promises that Prime Time made, they
342. 11:43never materialized. Delay after delay,
343. 11:46and finally walked back completely.
344. 11:48They never had any intention to honor
345. 11:50our deal. This is when it clicked for me
346. 11:51that these guys are bad actors. I made
347. 11:53multiple attempts to make this right,
348. 11:56and I was ignored and I was completely
349. 11:57shut out. This is when I finally
350. 11:59realized that I had to get my legal team
351. 12:01involved.
352. 12:04And now for this video that Ryan
353. 12:06Bartholomew posted recently on the
354. 12:08Sherbinski page.
355. 12:11Ryan, this is the best you got? Posting
356. 12:13a video in a lounge that I designed,
357. 12:15talking about genetics that didn't come
358. 12:17from me. This is comedy. Get my name out
359. 12:20of your mouth.
360. 12:21Earlier this year, Ryan texted me over
361. 12:24and over and over again, and I don't
362. 12:25talk to this guy like this. So, I'm
363. 12:27wondering what's going on. Finally, I
364. 12:29replied and we talked, and he tells me
365. 12:31he's working with Prime Time.
366. 12:33And I made it clear to the guy, don't
367. 12:35work with people that wronged me. And
368. 12:36his reply?
369. 12:38Sure, times are tough. It's I need the
370. 12:40money.
371. 12:41So, funny coming from a guy that's
372. 12:44losing his brand to bad partners, and
373. 12:46now you're working with Prime Time to do
374. 12:47it with me. Ryan, we're not
375. 12:49collaborators, we're not friends. You're
376. 12:52working with the ops.
377. 12:53If my work meant something to you,
378. 12:55whether you smoked it, you've grown it,
379. 12:57it's been part of your legacy, then
380. 12:59question this false narrative that's
381. 13:01going around. Open your eyes, guys. Not
382. 13:03everything you see online or everything
383. 13:04you read on a post is true.
384. 13:06Pay attention. Authenticity matters.
385. 13:09When you see these these events, when
386. 13:11you see these people, these bad actors,
387. 13:13open your eyes. Remember who to support.
388. 13:16This isn't just about me. This is about
389. 13:18every creator who's ever had his work
390. 13:20taken by people that prioritize profit
391. 13:23over integrity.
392. 13:27I want to send out a special thank you
393. 13:29to all the real ones that have messaged
394. 13:31me, DM'd me, called me, text me with
395. 13:33support. I really appreciate you guys
396. 13:36and thank you for seeing what's real. A
397. 13:38lot of you I've made many friends over
398. 13:39the years and I really appreciate you
399. 13:41guys.
400. 13:42VOP [music] is full force. All the new
401. 13:44genetics, we're in New York, we're
402. 13:46coming for you head on and that's what
403. 13:48we're focused on right now. We'll see
404. 13:49you guys soon.
405. 13:51>> What should you have done, Ryan? Let's
406. 13:53talk about it, bro. What you should have
407. 13:55done when you went in that boardroom and
408. 13:56they offered you bread to be the face of
409. 13:58Mario's company that's using his
410. 14:01likeness and he's not involved in it.
411. 14:03You should have been like, "Dude, if
412. 14:04Mario's not involved, I'm not involved."
413. 14:07That's how this works. It's called
414. 14:09honor. It's called morals. It's called
415. 14:11not wanting to [ __ ] come up on
416. 14:14someone else's problem. You know what I
417. 14:16mean? And and I'm disappointed, dude,
418. 14:19and I expected more out of you as
419. 14:21somebody who's a face in the space. A
420. 14:23lot of these people look up to you, bro,
421. 14:25and these are the type of decisions that
422. 14:27are just not cool, dog. And it affects
423. 14:30my view of your business and you as an
424. 14:32individual and your decision-making
425. 14:35skills. You understand? And that's why
426. 14:36you need to fix this. And you should
427. 14:38speak about it publicly, dog. Don't hit
428. 14:40me up in a private message. Talk about
429. 14:43it publicly and justify why you did it
430. 14:45and why you think it's okay. I want to
431. 14:48hear it.
432. 14:49>> Well,
433. 14:50I think based on what I just heard, I
434. 14:53mean, honestly, it sounds like he did go
435. 14:55online and he did say what it was and
436. 14:59sounds like he doesn't really care. I
437. 15:01mean, honestly, it sounds like him and
438. 15:03Sherbinski didn't get along. Sounds like
439. 15:05he tried to be some type of mediator,
440. 15:08but yeah, the business, you know, is got
441. 15:11a different depth than what Doja
442. 15:14understands and
443. 15:16Doja just knows that there's a legacy
444. 15:18brand in front of his eyes that
445. 15:21needs help and
446. 15:23instead of letting it die
447. 15:25uh
448. 15:26and you know, letting Sherbinski
449. 15:29unveil something else to the public,
450. 15:31seems like Ryan's willing to commit to
451. 15:33helping
452. 15:35this new company. So, I don't know.
453. 15:37>> Oh, the internet's cracking today.
454. 15:40There's a lot of you [ __ ]
455. 15:41chiming in about how the big dogs do
456. 15:43business and their lawsuits to their
457. 15:45business partners and their mergers.
458. 15:49And the truth is, 99% of people,
459. 15:52including myself, don't [ __ ] know
460. 15:54[ __ ] about how that stuff works.
461. 15:56I know just enough to know that I don't
462. 15:58know [ __ ]
463. 16:00And all these people I see [ __ ]
464. 16:01talking all this [ __ ] about how these
465. 16:03people did each other dirty, you don't
466. 16:05even [ __ ] know what the deal was.
467. 16:07[ __ ] might have fumbled. I don't
468. 16:09know. I'm just saying. It could have
469. 16:10just been like a legit fumble.
470. 16:13And then boom, somebody else [ __ ]
471. 16:15takes over your whole [ __ ] company
472. 16:16and brand and put someone else in
473. 16:18charge. I don't know. Maybe that
474. 16:20happened. Maybe that didn't happen, but
475. 16:21I'm just saying, you guys don't know the
476. 16:23[ __ ] details for sure.
477. 16:25>> I think I'm kind of with Sticker Farmer
478. 16:27on this one. I mean, honestly, Sticker
479. 16:29Farmer has always been a stand-up dude
480. 16:31and he's always basically, you know,
481. 16:33kind of been a a visionary himself with,
482. 16:36you know, the Feathered Underdog Club
483. 16:38and just kind of being ahead of the
484. 16:40whole, you know, legal cannabis market
485. 16:42and providing a lot of cool options and
486. 16:46I feel like, yeah, he's always been kind
487. 16:48of the big brother to a lot of the
488. 16:50brands that are trying to get out there
489. 16:52and um
490. 16:53you know, he's right. Like, you know,
491. 16:56even I'll even put it on myself. Like,
492. 16:57you know, I'm so out of the loop that
493. 17:00I'm literally just giving some
494. 17:01commentary on something that I'm seeing
495. 17:02online and
496. 17:04ultimately, I think that this is a good
497. 17:05brand lesson for everybody that you
498. 17:08know, if you're building something
499. 17:10ground up, got to be careful who you get
500. 17:12in bed with.
