This is the episode the guys really let loose. They get real old, real fast while talking about inappropriate Kidz Bop songs and then somehow go even farther off the rails during the best athlete endorsements conversation. We need a movement. It's time for Great Lakes Brewing Company to step up and sponsor the podcast (or at least keep Josh entertaining.) Andy (@holtgreive on Instagram): Andy sang a song about Shaq that wouldn't have made it into any other podcast on this app. Josh (@joshflagner on Instagram): Josh mostly contributed Browns homerism and laughter. Allan (@allanfee on Instagram): Allan took the wheel and drove. He was Louise to Andy and Josh's Thelma. Follow the show at @3guys3cities on Insta, Twitter, AND Facebook!

Episode 90 MiCannaCast Cannadave & Groovee talk about the recent experience at GreenHouse of Walled Lake Cannabis kickoff of the Summer event. A new state just joined the adult-use market on the east coast Connecticut. Cannabis company Lume is advertising at a music theater in Mi. All this and more on the latest episode of MiCannaCast GreenHouse Event Greenhouse hosted a cannabis kickoff event with different vendors and brands there. You had Primitiv Brand Calvin Johnson (Megatron) & Rob Sims showcasing the new product and taking photos. For Cannadave it was a dream to meet Megatron, one of his all-time favorite football players and now entered the cannabis space. We did pick up three strains of Primitiv which are Sensi Star, Runtz, and Peanut Butter Breath. Primitiv has flowers available in a couple of locations, definitely check them out, the Runtz was pretty darn good. You also had Darren McCarthy there repping his brand and promoting and taking photos as well too. You could purchase either of these products at GreenHouse which is 21 and up. They had a CBD company and Element Extractions as well too up there. Later in the evening, they had a firework show too, which we didn't stay for but enjoyed a couple of hours there. Shout-out for putting on the event and drawing the cannabis crowd. Connecticut The newest state to join the adult-use market is Connecutire, they're the 19th State. This is great news and exciting because it's the 4th state this year alone to join the adult-use market. They do have some weird cannabis laws drawn up with the legislation. We go into more detail in the episode about the laws. We are starting to inch closer to over half the United States will be an adult-use market 21 and up can consume cannabis. Lume Cannabis Lume Cannabis just inked a deal with DTE Music Theater out in Oakland County Michigan. We have been to Lume cannabis before and it wasn't our favorite spot. It's cool to see the advertising come mainstream because it's just not billboards or social media now, it's entire concert venues. We hope with this happening the legislation doesn't continue to bring up the cannabis billboard ban. Therefore cannabis companies should be able to advertise there as well as concert venues. If you can advertise at a venue you should be able to do a billboard. It will be interesting to see where else the cannabis community will be able to advertise in the future.

As a former offensive lineman in the NFL for nine years, starting his career with the Seattle Seahawks and ending it with the Detroit Lions, Rob Sims has seen the need for professional athletes to access holistic healing. It's a need he saw before he was a football player, watching the career of his NFL-playing father.    “I saw the good, the bad, and the ugly of what it looks like to go in and out of the game, and he prepared me going into the game,” Rob said. “I was able to have a great career but not without its ups and downs, not without its rollercoasters.”   Navigating physical pain was a significant part of his career as an athlete. So after nearly a decade of this, Rob looked to the example of entrepreneurs in his family and, with his former Detroit Lions teammate Calvin Johnson, started his own cannabis company. It's a concept the NFL — a “big, big company” where “things move slowly” — needs to catch up to, he says. Because in catching up, they'll help save athletes' lives.   In this episode of Good Dudes Grow, Gary and Rob talk about why it's time the NFL recognized the benefits of CBD and cannabis and what it's been like to jump into entrepreneurism with another pro-athlete business partner.   What You'll Learn:   Why Rob believes cannabis and CBD are a form of “elevated wellness” — not just a means of getting high How he and Calvin are approaching the branding opportunity, they have a pro athlete cannabis entrepreneurs What he's come to learn about the “beauty of the plant” And much more!   Favorite Quote:   “In the sports world, what people don't understand… is we have to have something for pain. If we're playing football, I call it, you know, going against fire-breathing dragons every day. You're going to have pain, whether that's in practice or the game or whatever. Every Sunday is like a train wreck.” — Rob Sims   Connect with Rob:    Instagram   Facebook    Primitiv Group   How to Get Involved:   Gary Roberts is the founder and CEO of Pure Body Zen, a company based on creating and selling high-quality CBD products that heal mind and body alike.
