Summary
Bob Landers is a lifelong snowboarder, an underground entrepreneur, a cannabis expert, and a dear friend of mine for almost 40 years. He's also a professional guide-but I don't disclose any information about what or where on the podcast. What I do is take you on BTS tour of what it was like to be a big-time Colorado cannabis grower, seller, and ski bum in the pre legal era of marijuana. On the podcast we talk about privilege, snowboarding, a passion for weed, Dead Tour, meeting the right connections, the business, and the wild west of legal weed. Bob sure can tell a story, and this podcast is instantly one of my favorites.

| 0:00.0 | Have a seat on your porcelain throne. |
| 0:02.3 | It's time to talk some shit on the Powell movement. |
| 0:13.5 | Welcome to the Powell movement. |
| 0:17.1 | I'm your host Mike Powell, and today marks 11 months since Ang's been gone. |
| 0:21.6 | And it's not getting any easier, unfortunately. |
| 0:24.6 | I mean, it's the shit I don't expect that gets me now. |
| 0:27.6 | Like the person who got into Ang's colon cancer era Instagram page and was active for a few days on it. |
| 0:32.6 | I get messages from Angie's friends asking me if I'm in Angie's Instagram page, something I would never do, and I had to figure out what the hell was going on. And it sounds like the person who got Ange's phone number just logged into Instagram, and somehow she was in Ange's account. I let that person know she was making a lot of people upset, and that if she posted there again, she would be cursed for life and based on what |
| 0:54.9 | happened to Ange, she may not want to take a chance with this curse. Needless to say, |
| 0:59.7 | the person logged out of that account. Now if I could just stop getting calls on my phone |
| 1:04.2 | for Ange and physical mail for her, it would make things in life a whole lot easier. |
| 1:09.0 | I really hate not having my person, but what my person would really, really hate right |
| 1:13.2 | now is everything that's going on with politics. |
| 1:16.2 | And last week, my political rant was short, something to the effect of, I hope our supreme |
| 1:20.8 | leader dies, and I still hope that, more than ever. |
| 1:24.3 | But now, even if he is gone, we'll still have to deal with a lot of the bullshit this fucking egomaniac is going to leave us with. I mean, this week, he's allowing some forever chemicals to go back into our water. And the next thing you know, Gortex is going to donate a bunch of money to him and the original Gortex material will be back on the market, because all you need to do is buy into his government and he'll let you do whatever the fuck you want to this country, regardless if it's good for it or not, and it's fucking bullshit. Sorry, I'm losing my mind a little bit with us. I mean, this asshole will take money for anything. Look at our public lands that are up for sale or will be up for sale soon. And then how about renaming shit after himself? I mean, talk about fucking ego. Renaming a |
| 2:02.7 | highway that goes from Montana to Texas, Chump Highway, and then the Chump Kennedy Center, |
| 2:07.4 | and he is a boulevard in Florida, Palm Beach Airport's now going to be bitch-ass airport, |
| 2:11.9 | and the United Institute of Peace now has his name in the title too. What a joke. I mean, |
| 2:17.4 | I'm really fine with naming shit after |
| 2:19.1 | people, but only dead people. And while I think he's a worthless piece of shit who lied and cheated |
| 2:24.1 | and raped his way into office and beyond, if he were to die tomorrow, I could live with a lot of |
