[Jim playing harmonica]
How you doin'?
I hate it when people ask me that question.
I mean, do they have 15 minutes to listen to me?
Or are they just bein' polite?
[laughs] Hey, I'm, I'm good, I'm good. How you doin'?
[yells] Bull [bleep]!
I'm not doin' well.
I'll tell ya how I'm doin'.
Seven years ago, I had a dream.
I had all this land and thought,
"Why not grow cannabis?"
The only problem was, I'm an actor.
I grew up on the streets of Chicago.
I'm not a farmer.
Battery's dead.
[clanking]
Well, I figured, "Ah, what the heck?
Let's give it a shot."
So, I partnered up with my dear friend, Dan Aykroyd.
I got something to tell you that's no joke.
The Blues Brothers weed is mighty fine smoke.
[Jim] And I convinced my cousin, Chris, to help me run the business.
[bleeping]
I might stake out a little area for an office.
Yeah, do you see right over there where the cows are?
[mooing]
You know, everyone knows I love my cousin.
-I got you, Chris, I got you. -Yeah.
[Chris] But, he's a pain in the ass.
[Jim] And let's just say we learned a thing or two the hard way.
What the [bleep] is this?
Captain Jack plants, burnt to a crisp.
[Jim] I killed the Captain Jack plants.
Then I killed Danny's special Colombian plants too.
-[Dan] How come they don't look... -[Jim] Alive?
Because they're dead.
This farm had major problems.
We need to start from ground zero.
We have to rip out the six existing hoop houses
and we need to rebuild.
[Jim] We built four state-of-the-art greenhouses
and they came out beautiful.
We were making some of the best cannabis
that Oregon had ever seen.
36.88% THC.
-[laughing] -Wow.
Off to dispensary.
I mean, it was flying off the shelves everywhere.
-Hey. -Hey, how you doin', Jim?
[man] Whoa!
[Jim] And just when I thought things were starting to go my way,
shoe drops!
-[police siren blaring] -[over radio] We were on scene of a medium sized farm.
[officer over radio] We got heavy fires showing.
[Jim] Our vault, the heart of our farm,
which also happened to house all of our cannabis,
mysteriously burnt to the ground.
-We lost everything, man. -Everything is gone.
[Jim] It was devastating.
Emotionally and financially.
[Dan] We lost $500,000 facility there.
Really was, was devastating to Jim.
[Jim] You know, I'm starting to wonder
if I've bitten off more than I can chew.
[theme song playing]
[Chris] Good morning, Jim. How are you?
[Jim] I'm having a struggle.
Oh, boy.
Too tight, I mean, look at me, man. It looks like--
I look like Winnie the Pooh.
Jim, that's Jared's shirt.
The morning meeting is our time
to talk about both business and personal stuff.
It's sort of our, our special time together.
How's this? You like this shirt?
[Chris] Shirt is all wrinkled.
[Jim] Chris, this is a linen shirt.
It's supposed to have this look.
You have no style, you have no sense of style.
I mean, what is that?
That's what I wear when I fly.
-When you're walking down the aisle... -[belt snaps]
...when they get close to me, I do this snap, right?
-[belt snaps] -Boom.
-That's genius. -[Chris] RIght?
-And they go right by me. -[Jim claps slowly]
-[laughing] -[Chris] It's perfect.
A seat-belt belt.
[softly] Style.
Let's get the meeting started. What's up?
Okay. [sighs] Number one: This fire.
No answer yet, still investigating.
It's arson, you know, they wanna make sure.
The fire was devastating for our farm.
It could have been a hater,
could have been a competing farm,
could have been organized crime element.
Could've been
Chris.
[loud explosion]
We've got 450 plants in there growing.
We've got 10 outdoor plants.
They're all ready to get harvested in two weeks...
-All right. -...at best.
We have nowhere to dry it,
we have nowhere to trim it. It's a crisis.
We have this issue right now
about salvaging what's been planted
and finding a place for it to dry and cure.
I know.
-I know. -That help when you rub your forehead like that?
-I'm pushing the emotion back. -[Chris] Yeah.
-And bringing the reason up front -Wow.
Chris is panicked about not havin' a place
to take our new harvest is substantiated.
Where are we with the expansion?
Oh, God, Jim. Everybody keeps reaching out.
We've got so many people that wanna partner up.
We got East Coast Cannabis in Massachusetts,
Green Stem and Highway Horticulture in Michigan.
I'd love that.
We did a couple of expansions last year and it went well.
You know, there were some hiccups along the way,
but we ironed 'em out.
It's time to move on now.
It's time to look at the national play for us.
Maybe even international at some point.
We have 10 strong possible options.
Ten? 10's a lot.
Each one of 'em have different regulations.
[Jim] That's why we'll just take it nice and easy.
One state at a time.
I love this plan.
I love it.
Jim generally does not agree with me.
But we talked about moving slow, right?
Take it a step at a time. And he agreed with me.
That never happens.
I don't believe him.
He's shifty.
All right. Well, I'm gonna narrow down
the 10 opportunities we have.
And then we can decide which ones you wanna start with.
I know I said, "I'd slow down." I did, I said, "I'd slow down."
But, you know, I get a 30 day turnaround to change my mind, right?
Doesn't make me a liar, doesn't make me an ass.
You make a decision, you live with it,
you process it.
Then you change your mind.
I got nothing left on the list.
-How's your coffee there? -[Jim] Cold.
[Chris] Really? You've been yappin'.
You gotta drink it. [laughs]
[Jim] Look at that big-ass truck.
That's gotta be Simon, man.
-[Simon] Jim. -Simon.
-Jeez, it's been a while, man. -It's been a little bit.
[Jim] Yeah, lots is going on.
I love Simon. He's been in this cannabis business
way before it was legal.
He knows all the players and he knows how things operate.
[Simon] I saw the destruction on the way in.
I'm sorry to hear about the fire.
It's just things. Nobody got hurt, you know.
Have they come up with anything at this point?
Well, I don't know what started it.
[Simon] When Jim's barn burned down,
immediate just shock and depression,
and then you start runnin' through your mind of,
"How could that have happended?"
I don't know, but the criminal activity,
in general, in Northern California
and Southern Oregon, there's, there's a long history of it, isn't there?
[Simon] When you take into consideration
what we're known for here, what we grew up in here,
lot different than the criminal elements that you have today.
The, the organized crime that's here,
it's wrecking those multi-generational families
that have been here for the last 50 years that have been doing this.
Oregon and Northern California
have a very rich history of illegal cannabis growing.
It started in the '60s and the '70s
when the hippie culture was in full swing.
And the cannabis culture became mainstream.
And these cannabis farms were very small operations
run by families, run by little communities.
And they had to hide in the mountains from the law.
We know them as legacy growers.
They're small mom-and-pop operations
that've paved the way for guys like me.
Cannabis became legal in Oregon in 2014.
And these illegal legacy growers,
a lot of 'em came into the legalized market.
And some of 'em did not.
Those growers, they were the ones
that lived in fear of being imprisoned.
They were the ones hidin' in the mountains,
but growing beautiful cannabis.
Some of the best I've ever had.
What they're doing is illegal.
-Sure. -But their heart is in the right place.
Their heart is in the right place.
Opposed to the organized crime.
Their heart is only in the cash.
They don't care what people in America are smoking.
The '80s and '90s,
they were growing illegal cannabis in Mexico and shippin' it up.
But, once it became legal here,
uh, the laws were a little more relaxed.
Organized crime just came into California
and came into Oregon and just expanded.
Law enforcement stepped up their efforts
to stop these illegal organized crime growers.
But, you can't stop 'em.
You shut one down, they jump to another farm
and intimidate the owner and grow there.
And when I say organized crime,
I mean just what is sounds like.
[emphatically] Organized crime.
Dangerous people.
They'll use pesticides, they use slave labor, they carry weapons.
They force farmers to grow cannabis for 'em
against their will.
These aren't people that are passionate about cannabis.
They're passionate about making money in any way that they possibly can.
They don't care about our environment,
they don't care about our streams, our groundwater.
They don't care about our soil.
[Jim] Last year, three miles from here,
they busted two warehouses
which could've been sprayed with pesticides
that contain metals,
contains everything that's bad for the body.
Here, locally, when they bust some of these farms,
there's evidence of human trafficking.
There's evidence of fentanyl distribution.
There's evidence of running guns.
Anything and everything that you can imagine
making money on in a criminal enterprise,
these groups do all of that.
I think maybe I pissed 'em off and they're,
showin' me, uh,
-"Shut up, Belushi." You know? -[Simon] Mmm.
-I don't know, Simon, but... -Let's cross our fingers.
There's maybe five different organizations in this valley alone
that are growing illegal cannabis and sendin' it all over the country.
[yells] Don't tell on 'em, 'cause if you do,
they could burn your barn!
-[creaking] -[clanking]
[Chris] Come on, Jim.
Wow! Look at that.
Look at how happy these girls are.
These are the girls I'm worried about, Jim.
[Jim] I know we got two weeks
and we're gonna do it. Stay positive.
The clock is running.
You know, you're just Mr. Negative all the time.
-No, I'm not Mr. Negative, I'm just-- -You know what?
-You cool down, cool down. -Come on, Jim.
Let's be serious.
You have about a week window that you can stretch harvest.
At 10 days, we've stretched it past the week window.
You go much farther than that,
everything starts to decompose.
If we don't get this next harvest
hung, cured, dried,
we could lose another $500,000 worth of cannabis.
Now, a dryin' room is exactly that.
It's there to dry, cure.
Like you hang your ham or beef,
or we hang cannabis.
The environment has to have the right humidity,
the right temperature.
There can't be any leakage, their can't be any moisture.
I know Jim hates when I use adjectives,
but it's a huge problem.
Nowhere to dry.
[Jim] Hey, we got the R&D barn.
Why don't we just convert the R&D barn to, like, a mini vault?
We can put three rooms up
that can handle three different cycles,
and we can have all the trimming done there,
we can have the bucking done there.
It's not even finished yet.
Come on, Jim.
We're gonna build a nice little barn for you girls.
We gotta dry it.
We gotta get it out of the field, out of the greenhouse.
We're runnin' out of time.
[Chris] Come on, Jim.
[Jim] Oh, you [bleep]!
Oh, God!
[laughing]
Jim, Jim, Jim, where's Jim?
Did you give him the right time?
I'd texted him.
Mr. Celebrity's always make his grand entrance.
Why isn't Chris stepping up?
I thought he was a leader on this farm, right?
I'm waiting for him, I'm waiting for him, and he's not moving.
I think I know what to do.
What do you mean you know what to do?
Someone's gotta take charge, Chris.
[sarcastically] Larry, Larry Joe Campbell.
-Five years ago, you said, "Come by anytime." So... -[Jim laughs] What!
-...here I am. -Larry Joe Campbell,
man, he is the dearest friend to me.
I love him with all my heart.
He was my co-star in According to Jim for eight seasons.
He came to farm last year for lunch
and then never left.
-Here, let me help you. There you go. -[Larry] Oh, thank you.
I don't have many gifts.
Except that people love me,
and they like to be with me.
They think that I am a ball of energy.
I make them feel better.
They fall in love with me.
But other than that, I don't know what I bring to the table.
[heavy machinery beeping]
-Havin' a good time? -Yeah.
-[groans] -If you could give me a little hand with that
that'd be quite nice actually.
Yeah, no.
I betcha a lot of people think I've been up here a long time.
It wasn't the intent.
I wanted to come up and, and lend a hand.
Saw real quick that Chris needed a lotta help.
I'll tell you how Larry can help.
He can fly back to LA.
In fact, I'll buy the flight. First class.
Hey, guys, hi.
I think I know what's been going on at the farm.
[sniffing loudly]
Smell that? Anyone?
[continues sniffing]
No, come on, that's obvious. Anyone, please? Anyone?
It's fear.
I look around, each one of your eyes,
I see you guys are terrified.
And it's okay. A barn burned down.
-I get it. -Larry, what's going on?
Just trying to help if I can.
All right, guys, listen, I know you're all concerned
about the vault bein' burned.
We're gonna take care of you.
With a fire like that, well, the staff is concerned.
So, to reassure them was very important for me
and very important for them to hear.
Now, if you're really worried about security,
I think I'm gonna put Taro out on the farm a little bit more.
If you see somebody that you feel is questionable,
all you have to say to him is, "Watch."
And the next word is, "G-E-T I-T"
[whispers] Guy comes creepin' up on the farm,
and then you say,
[yells] get it!
[struggling] That's it! Get it! Atta boy.
And he will hold that arm
until he is released.
-[loudly] Okay, you win. -[Taro growling]
So, anybody wanna try this?
-Just for fun? -Yeah, I'll do it.
[Jim] Larry, why don't you try it?
This guy. Come on.
Chris, he seems really threatened
that I'm gonna steal his job.
[clicks tongue] I don't blame him.
I'm gunnin' for Chris.
He's just stayin' in the game too long, you know.
It's like watching an old QB throw his last interception.
You're done, dude.
-This goes in your right hand. -Okay.
-Here you go. Put your other hand here. -Okay.
[phone ringing]
Oh, my God. This is Jenny. Hold on.
Hello, Jenny.
-Hi. -Watch.
[Taro growling]
-Get it! -Yes, yes.
-[screaming] Ah! Ow! -Of course.
Oh, Jenny, it's all right. We're gonna find out real soon.
My former wife, Jenny, called.
She heard about the fire.
And she's concerned about Jared's safety.
I mean, come one! She called right in the middle of a safety meeting.
This farm is the safest place in the world.
[Larry] Ah! Give my-- Oh!
[Taro growls]
-[applause] -All right.
[Chris] Way to go, Taro!
[shakily] Um, I just saw my life passing by. I,
I started to weep thinking about my kids
and how I didn't say goodbye to them.
I was cheering for Taro all the way. I love that dog.
-Nice, great. Thank you, Larry. -[applause]
-Larry, you all right? -Yeah, yeah, good.
Agh, I think it went well. [panting]
-[wind chime ringing] -I'm doing good.
[exhales slowly]
Oh, by the way, I got divorced.
You want a strain named after you?
Yes, and I'll take the house too.
Will you still need me, will you still feed me when you're sixty-four?
[yells] No!
Divorce, divorce, divorce, divorce.
How many divorces can a man have?
[sighs] I'm gonna have to ask my accountant.
Because we don't know who started the fire,
it could be organized crime.
Could be arson.
Now, I don't know if that's what happened,
but my former wife thinks it may have.
And she wants her precious son off the farm.
[softly] What am I gonna do?
I got the feeling that my dad
doesn't really want me to leave.
This is the best summer I've ever had with my dad.
It's been the best summer.
-Really, really good. Really good. -Thank you.
I love you, Son.
It was hard to see him leave.
I just,
[voice cracking] really didn't want Jared to go for selfish reasons.
We had the greatest summer ever.
-I'll miss you, Dad. -I'm gonna miss you too, Son.
Bye Uncle Chris.
Bye, Jared. I love you, buddy.
-[Jared] Love you too. -[Jim yells] Text me when you land.
-[Jared] Okay. -[car starts]
Love that kid.
Me too. I'm gonna miss him.
[djembe reverberates]
These girls are gonna be ready in 10 days
and they need a place to hang.
[rattling]
[Jim] So, the outside looks as beautiful as can be.
But the inside is-- This is like the emperor's new clothes.
We just need some direction
on what your final use is gonna be.
[Jim] Dave Hammonds is a good friend of mine.
He is a great builder, general contractor.
He knows everybody in the county.
And when you need to get something done like this,
he knows the buttons to press.
Jim is delusional half the time
on price and time.
Every time I get a call from Jim,
he wants it fast and cheap.
And I said, "You can't have both."
What we're gonna need, are really strong
environmental controls.
We gotta put HVACs up here.
Yup, HVAC goes up there.
When this vault burned down,
it make me sick to my stomach.
We give each other [bleep] back-and-forth all the time,
but I love Jim to death and I'd do anything for him.
So, we got three different rooms.
So, instead of making each room a genetic testing room,
we'll just make these rooms drying and curing rooms.
The environment is perfect.
Did you tell him how much time you have?
Ten days.
Jim thinks this stuff is easy.
This would typically be a two-month project,
and we're expected to get it done in 10 days.
This originally was set up as an R&D building.
Totally different for a drying facility.
So, there's a lot of things we have to change,
even though we still have a shell of a building.
A drying room needs optimal temperature,
humidity and airflow in this thing.
The drying room requires HVAC system,
new plumbing, new electrical.
Dry wall, insulation to seal the room.
There's just a whole bunch that goes into this.
Jim's a son of a bitch. He does this to me every damn time.
-[Jim chanting] R&D barn come! -[djembe reverberates]
Get it complete!
-[djembe reverberates] -Dave, we need this completed!
[softly] Please.
How you doin'?
[indistinct chatter]
[in deep voice] Ho-ho-ho!
[in normal voice] Hey, everybody! Havin' some lunch?
Yeah, looking good.
It's the Safety Claus.
Yeah, I come bearing gifts.
You know, there's some fear on the farm.
We do not know what caused the fire.
What if it's a hater from According to Jim?
Like, I was really [bleep] funny on that show.
We may have a serious crisis on our hands here.
And, for all I know, we need to prepare for
the worst possible situation.
Little slingshot.
That'll protect ya.
[chuckles softly] Oh. The bat light.
Blind ya and beat ya. Right? I love it.
Oh, that'll take you down. This is pepper spray magnum.
Mmm, Amanda?
Yeah. Don't spray it at me.
Larry's great. I mean, I hope he's not my Secret Santa.
But, yeah.
Yeah. Ho-ho-ho!
What's going on?
He's handing out weapons, Jim.
[Jim's voice breaking] He's just being open-hearted
and generous he wants to comfort the staff a little bit.
I, and I respect that.
But this is not how to do it.
I didn't know I needed this much protection.
But I guess Larry thinks I do.
What am I supposed to do with this?
Wow! Look at that.
-Gifts! -Got 'em some stuff.
How thoughtful is my friend.
-[laughs] -Come on over here, bud.
Oh, you can have the rest of that.
Enjoy your snacks and your new presents.
I love you.
We're gonna get through this.
[Jim] Larry's heart is always in the right place.
Now, how he chooses to help?
Sometimes is a little different.
He's got a big heart,
but a brain like this.
This is a liability,
so, please, give me everything.
Thank you.
I cannot think of anyone more unqualified
to talk to our staff about safety.
[Jim] I love you, Larry.
I'm so glad you wanna help.
But, maybe we should find something else for you on the farm.
I got 10 outdoor plants.
[playing harmonica]
Two hundred and forty plants in my greenhouse
and no place to put it.
[playing harmonica]
I'm gonna lose another $500,000 worth of weed.
David is working his ass off to get this R&D barn done.
We're runnin' out of time.
Oh, man. [sighs] How you doin'? Is it all right?
We got quite a bit done.
Well, you had a whole week.
-Full seven days. -[bleep] We need two freakin' months for a deal like this.
I know that, but it's three days, man.
I gotta pull all that [bleep] down,
I gotta get it in there to dry, man.
You're always throwin' this [bleep] on me at the last minute.
[Jim] You know, I've been with the House of Blues for 25 years.
Danny and I opened every House of Blues.
And every one of those venues, when I got there
a few days early, I walked in, I'm like,
"Oh, my God. They're not gonna be able to open."
And opening day, it was ready.
Jim is totally confident.
Doesn't even wanna discuss a plan B.
We could run into problems. It may not happen.
-Well, the electrical's done. -Right.
[Dave] HVAC is in.
Show me.
It could work if Dave Hammonds can get this done.
See positive.
Visualize it working.
See the weed hanging in the rooms and people trimming.
See success.
Gonna be all right climbin' up that ladder?
Come on, man. I painted houses for years.
I used to paint the peach
-on scaffolding... -[Dave] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-...three stories high. -Forty years ago, maybe.
[Jim] Oh, come on. Give me a break.
[yelling] Wow!
-Dave, you're a Miracle Man! -Yes, I am.
Ho!
[Dave] That one's as good as [bleep] up there, man.
Pretty cool, huh?
You know what I told Dave Hammonds,
you gotta use your thighs to get the prize.
Look, you got the electrical up here
-you got the lights. -[Dave] Yup.
-Yeah-- -You got the venting.
[Dave] How you like that HVAC system?
[Jim] I see you put the insulation in too.
[Dave] Yes, we did. You gotta have that to maintain your climate control.
To the unknowing eye this looks a little messy,
but it is not.
It is installed perfectly. Everything is sealed.
David just did a great job with this HVAC.
Nice work, Dave.
[Dave] We're not done yet. We still have a lot of work to do.
Don't worry, we'll get it done.
We'll get it done.
Oh, look at this.
Another lead.
Let's do it.
[Chris] Jim promised me, we'd take one state at a time.
Another email from another potential partner today.
Jim wants to fire away
and go 1,000 miles an hour and do it now!
We've been through this Jim, we've talked about this,
moving too quickly.
[mockingly] Moving too quickly! Massachusetts wants us.
Great state. I mean, they got the Patriots and all that,
but besides that, there's 24 million people
that are a two-hour radius in the New England area.
Maine wants us, Michigan wants us, Pennsylvania.
My father said,
[in quirky accent] "You gotta work where they want you, Jimmy.
Otherwise, one day they might not want you."
That was 50 years ago that he told you that. It's different now.
There's lot involved to, to, to launching in each one of these states.
I have experience in growing.
I was in the restaurant business.
I grew a 13-unit chain.
I mean, I did one a year.
One a year!
[in normal accent] I love my cousin. He's a scaredy cat.
He won't even risk bendin' over to tie his shoes.
If you don't seize the opportunity,
if you don't take your love
and expand it,
that opportunity could disappear.
Like the barn disappeared.
This is a decision that we need to make collectively.
You, me, the board.
This is not a two-minute decision.
All right, you're right.
I know what this is about.
I know why he's rushing. He's hurting.
It's a very difficult time for him right now.
The wife is gone. Jared's gone.
And Jamie, 23 years old,
she's moving on with her life and her career.
Jamie.
She's off into the world.
I miss 'em all.
He doesn't wanna feel the pain.
He just wants to fill the void.
No, this is about you being a chicken [bleep].
-You don't like the risk. -You're a jerk.
Is this your cup?
[Chris laughs] It's your cup. It's got your name on it.
-I love you too, Chris. -Yeah, I love you too.
-I'll slow down. -[Chris] Okay.
Thank you.
So, we're gonna vet it out one by one.
And that's a promise I made to Chris.
Is that a promise?
I didn't see a handshake there.
[sighs]

-[Larry] Hey, Amanda. -Hey, Larry.
I wanna learn about the farm, it's true.
I have a goal in mind. I wanna run this puppy.
I'm the future of this farm.
Chris?
He should just load up the truck
and start drivin' to Florida.
And you know what?
I'll buy the first tank of gas.
What happens when you get done with this,
filling the joints?
[Amanda] They all go to a roller.
-Mmm-hmm. -[Amanda] We will top them and weigh them out.
Making sure that they are the right requirements.
Looks like we're doin' some trimmin', huh?
Trimmin' 'em up. Make 'em look good.
Getting the little crow's feet off.
-Sticks right there. -[Larry] Oh.
-What are crow's feet? -[male employee] The little sticks right here on the ends.
-[Larry] Oh. -Each of these.
-Right now, it's gently packing down into the crutch. -[clanking]
[Amanda] The crutch is the bottom.
-Right here. -[Larry] How long does that go for?
It's about two to three minutes.
Whatchu workin' on?
What we do is we come over here to the search engine.
Put in the location,
and then we're gonna look for Blues Brothers.
Look at that.
-[Larry] Oh, wow. -[Female employee] Isn't that cool?
In the back end of it you can see what their inventory is
and how much of our product is still left on the shelf.
How many will, uh, be produced from this?
This will be a batch of 600.
Which will be eight boxes of 0.7.
Ooh.
[whispers] Can I get some joints?
[Amanda] That's illegal. You can go to the dispensary
like the rest of us.
[whispers] Can I get one of those joints?
No, that's illegal.
-You have to go to the dispensary for that. -Yup.
Can I get some joints?
Oh, yeah, no. That's not compliant.
-Oh, right. -You have to buy those at the dispensary.
-Yup, yup. -Yeah.
-Thank you. -Sorry about that, Larry. Yeah.
This investigation's taking for-ever.
[in shaky voice] Bring me a joint, young man.
The drama. [panting]
It's gonna kill me.
[in normal voice] It hasn't, not yet.
♪ How long♪
♪ How long, how long♪
We've gotta find out the answer to this damn fire.
You think they know?
I don't know.
Jesus.
[whispers] Put the cigarette out. Put the, put the cigarette out.
Put the cigarette out.
Oh, crap.
[Chris and Jim mumbling indistinctly]
-[Jim] Hey. -Hey, Jim.
-Hey, there. -Hey, Chris.
[Jim] How are ya?
-Hey, Mark. -Hey, Jim.
-Hey, guys, nice to see you again. -Nice to see you.
-Nice to see ya. -How are ya?
What is going on?
It could be arson.
It could be Chris's cigarette.
It could be organized crime.
They could come with their little machetes and machine guns
and go, "You, Jim!
Oh, K-9, I saw that. K-9 was really good!
I really liked K-9."
So, listen, before you start. I just wanted to tell ya,
I know who did it.
It was me.
I started the fire.
It's just so much heat going on.
So much is going on inside of me right now.
There's the heat of my family,
there's a heat of the divorce,
there's a heat of this expansion.
There's a heat of this farm, there's a heat of bugs,
gofers, the aphids on the plants.
[emphatically] There's heat, there's heat!
I'm lost, I don't know who I am.
I don't have a home. [yells] I'm on fire!
I'm exploding!
I'm walking flames!
[mimics spouting flames]
It was me!
[continues mimicking]
[in normal voice] It was me.
No.
-Gas leak. -No.
Electrical outlet?
No.
Organized crime arson.
No.
-Taro? -[whining]
This might be quicker if you just let me tell ya. 'Kay?
It wasn't you, Jim.
-It wasn't me? -No.
It was Chris.
[echos] Chris!
[Jim] Hello, class, welcome to Ask Jimmy!
[applause and cheering]
Today, we're gonna learn about the infamous term, 420.
Where did it come from? What does it mean?
The real story, kinda like Goonies.
But with cannabis.
In 1971,
there were a group of five teenagers at San Rafael,
nickname, the Waldos.
They were stoners.
One day, the Waldos got their hands on this little treasure map
of an abandoned cannabis grove.
They would meet at Louis Pasteur statue
at 04:20 once a week.
They would smoke up a little bit
and search with this map,
looking for this abandoned grove.
-Never found it. -[audience sadly] Oh!
I know you're probably wondering,
"How did a small group of Waldos
get this term to become an"
[voice echoes] "international term for cannabis?"
One of these Waldos became a roadie for the Grateful Dead.
[mockingly] He would talk about his 420 days and the map
and how they never found it.
Well, they kinda liked the stories, you know?
The Grateful Dead were so excited about that term, 420,
they used that term as their secret code to say,
"Let's go smoke, 420."
They didn't wanna walk around going,
"Hey, man, you wanna go smoke? Hey, man, you wanna get high?"
[whispers] "420? 420.
420? I'll meet you at 04:19."
So, the term, 420, just kinda rippled across all of these crowds.
And now we know what 420 is.
[Jim] It was me.
It wasn't you, Jim.
-It wasn't me? -No.
It was Chris.
Nah, I'm just messin' with ya.
-Oh, come man, really? -Jesus, man.
No one's got a sense of humor around here?
-What the heck. -No, no, no, no, no, who was it?
It was a side by side.
-Side by side? -Old Red?
It was the ATV that burnt the barn, it wasn't me!
The ego on me to think that I could burn a barn
with my implosive, internal strife and struggle.
What a jerk!
Don't tell Chris I said that.
Where did it start?
Where this positive battery cable comes from the battery...
-[Jim] RIght. -...was rubbing on this sharp edge of the side by side.
And enough heat generated, starting on fire.
And that spread to the rest of the side by side.
Well, that makes sense then 'cause then this went up and
it burned the awning.
[Mark] So, that awning held in the heat,
which was wood on the bottom,
and just pushed it towards the barn.
And it started the wood siding on the barn on fire
and then spread into the rest of the barn.
The fire started outside.
-Yes. -That's why I thought maybe somebody threw a
Molotov cocktail or something that started it.
And those are things we don't rule out.
We use our expertise and our knowledge
based on fire-pattern evidence,
to really determine what the cause and origin
of that fire is.
And the scene remaining
gave us the ability to look at all that evidence
in a pristine condition to really narrow the fire down.
This fire was probably started by
the arcing battery cable on the fire wall.
You let me down, girl!
Big "Rusty" Red, now.
-Well, Mark, case closed. [sighs] -Yeah.
-You need anything, let me know. -Oh, you guys are the best.
-Thank you, Mark. -Chris, you're welcome.
-[Steve] Appreciate it, you guys. -Thank you.
Bufo!
I cannot believe it was Big Red.
I can't believe it wasn't organized crime.
I really can't believe it wasn't you.
[Chris] Kind of a boring story.
[Jim] It's a boring story now.
-[drum reverberates] -Slow it down, Jim.
Slow it down, Jim.
[yells] No!
I'm not gonna slow down!
-[barking] -[yells] I don't wanna feel anything!
We pulled off the harvest. We can do anything.
Hey, everyone.
I called this meeting because
I do have some things to say.
You know what, this farm, we almost lost it
because of the fire.
But we're gonna rise like the phoenix.
The music, the mischievousness, the mission from God.
[all] Yeah.
To bring the medicine to the patients
and put a pathway to healing.
Yup.
I haven't really had the, uh,
guts or the nerves to tell Chris yet.
But, I've made my decision.
They know that this farm grows the greatest cannabis in Oregon.
-[all] Yeah. -They know we all know how to grow it.
How to plant it, how to love it.
I got a bad feeling about this.
[emphatically] And we are gonna take our love, the Blues Brothers,
across this nation!
The drama's never too much for me!
I can take all the drama.
You know what, I'm gonna create more drama!
Chris and I have been talking about it.
I don't think we stop here.
I have decided
that we are gonna expand
across the United States now!
-[cheering and applause] -Here and now. Right? Why not?
Come on. We just had the meeting,
he said he wasn't gonna do it.
He got up in front of everybody and announced it.
What the [bleep]!
We are going to sweep the South,
go through the Midwest,
the Northern States.
I'm pushing the emotion back,
and bringing the reason up front.
We're gonna spread the word of cannabis
and the healing properties.
-[applause] -[barking]
He's got this crazy thing right now
of staying busy and you know.
He's lonely and this is his solution now
to get busy in the business,
and make, make bad decisions and move too fast.
He's insane.
Risk! I am magnificent.
I am not gonna make myself smaller for the small people
so they aren't frightened.
We're gonna expand.
That's right.
I'm gonna take a grove in Illinois, Mississippi,
Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania,
Michigan, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Colorado,
Arizona, Nevada, California, and of course, Oregon.
Hell, why stop here?
Maybe we'll go international!
[yelling] I am gonna create so much drama
that I might have to smoke this whole damn thing just to sleep.
[Chris] This season on Growing Belushi.
[Jim] We are gonna expand across the United States.
Just because 10 girls wanna date you,
doesn't mean that you have to be a polygamist.
There's 10 girls that wanna date me?
I wanna run this puppy.
Captain Larry, reporting for duty.
[loud explosions]
Nice to see you, Arnold.
I'm gonna run for office.
I'm gonna change these cannabis laws
to make sure that the medicine gets to the people they need.
Yeah, you'll get killed, but, um,
you know what? Go for it.
[Dave] What the hell did you do?
-I can stop this. -Can ya?
I didn't know there'd be pipes.
Prime minister wants to hear our point of view on cannabis,
which is super cool, man.
[yells] Albania!
[whispering] I don't want you speak in any Albanian.
Only in English.
[speaking Albanian]
[laughing]
[Jim] Let's go the other way.
