Right, welcome Tim. How are you doing, my friend?

Hello, Sean. I'm doing great, man.

Thank you for having me.

You're still down in Florida?

Yes, sir. I am. I think we're pushing about 82 degrees here this morning.

All right. Well, one o'clock, sorry.

It's quite cold in London.

So the viewers, you know, I'm really excited about your story.

It's right up my street all this stuff.

Can you just tell the viewers a little bit about you before we go over it?

Well, we go over it will slowly.

Yeah, actually, of course, my name is Tim McBride, my nickname that was given to me back in my earlier years is saltwater cowboy, which I have right there, actually.

And it's also the name of the book that I've written, saltwater cowboy, the rise and fall of an empire.

And it's actually a firsthand telling and accounting, and it's not a, you know, boring statistical romp through the war on, you know, the war on weed and, you know, other drugs and such.

It's more of a firsthand telling a me sitting there, taking you through my experience, you know, with this industry growing up.

And growing up, I was, you know, there was never anything ever dysfunctional, you know, with the family group and the way I grew up that, you know, that drove me to be coming out.

Well, it's just, you know, my life turned out to be a bit of a forest gump of a tripping over one thing into the next and there I was.

So what was it like for you before you got involved in the green?

Well, just life is, life is, you know, usual for a, you know, young late late teens early 20s guy, I was when I was 19, 19, 20.

I had the fortunate opportunity to work for one of the what was called the rap pack back in the early days of Sammy Davis Jr.

And Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin and this such, I had a job working for Sammy.

He was junior in Hollywood with my cousin Hogue and who drove his tour bus.
