"To be,
or not to be,
that is the question."
The answer is, be.
Right?
Not to be,
is a drag.
I'm gonna be.
Gonna be.
I'm gonna keep it juicy and dramatic.
I'm going to ten states, baby.
What am I gonna do?
What if I fail?
Ten states.
[bleep]
-[Jim] Chris? -[Chris] Yeah.
-[Jim] Can you help me fold these sheets? -[Chris] Okay.
Hey, listen, I... I'm sorry I made that announcement without talking to you, man.
I have decided
that we are going to expand
across the United States...
Now. Here and now. Right? Why not?
[barking]
-Oh, that's all right. I'm... I'm-- -No, I got excited
and it's just... it's just so much love in that room...
No, I'm over it. And I'm excited too, by the way.
I think we should move forward.
I think it's the right thing to do.
I'm not at all onboard.
I'm just tired of arguing about it.
Yeah. We'll do it, man. We'll expand. We'll go global.
-Absolutely. Absolutely. -International!
-Good. -Did you, uh, see the email from Christie?
What email from Christie?
You should've got it. She called a meeting.
She called a board meeting for Wednesday at 2 o'clock.
[Jim] For any business to grow
you eventually need a board.
Um, they are professional people in your field
or sometimes outside of your field,
who become your checks and balances.
And I got the biggest check and balance with Christie Hefner.
She is the daughter of Hugh Hefner
and the smartest person I know in business.
Why would she call a meeting?
How do I know why she'd call a meeting? I don't know.
I just saw the email. She called a meeting. Come on.
[clears throat]
Did you call her and tell her about the ex... expansion idea?
No. Why would I call her?
Well, how come she's calling a board meeting 48 hours after I make the announcement?
I don't know. You'd have to ask Christie. How do I know?
She wants a board meeting. What did she say it was about?
She didn't say.
She just said we gotta get together on Wednesday at 2 o'clock.
[Jim] Something's fishy here.
Mr. Paranoia, Mr. Coffee, Mr. Cigarettes.
Mr. Breaker of things.
Mr. Get me fat.
He's also a snitch.
Chris!
[Chris] What are you looking at?
You're trying to create drama or read into something?
-How does Christie know? -Jim.
I... I don't have that answer. Ask Christie.
Come on. Fold.
Are you lying to me?
-Did you squeal on me? -Jim...
When do I lie to you? Come on.
Jim, he thinks I snitched on him.
I did.
To protect him.
You're so suspicious of everything.
Some kids are terrified to go to the principal's office.
But I have a lot of experience.
I've been to the principal's office since the fourth grade.
-Have you done anything wrong? -No.
-So what are you worried about? -I always do something wrong.
Now you got guilt after you open your mouth?
-I got guilt and I got suspicion. -Yeah.
I can smell it. [sniffs]
I smell soup.
[sniffs]
I'm hungry.
Snitch.
Chris.
He just put a cone up my ass.
All right! On the road!
[dog barking]
[bleep]
[engine revs]
-I'm doing it. I'm doing it. -[dog barks]
Ow. [bleep]
Okay, okay. Get on.
Bye-bye!
Get me to the airport on time.
[Jim] Let's go outside and smoke.
[Jim exclaiming]
[Chris] Don't [bleep] around, Jim.
-You find so much pleasure in seeing me uneasy. -[Jim chuckles] Wow.
Look how beautiful this is.
I love Chicago!
Oh, wow.
[Chris] So, I'm a little on edge about this board meeting today.
I'd like to bring up this
vision you have of doing these ten states
-in this short period of time. -You bring that up in that goddamn meeting,
and I'll kick your ass.
Don't you want her opinion on that?
Then let me bring it up.
I know how to bring it up.
You gotta bring it up slowly, easy.
[Chris] The only shot I have to slow this thing down
is... is... is Christie telling him.
Because he'll listen to her.
All you gotta do is you gotta sit there,
and just nod a lot, smile a lot
[speaking foreign language]
Meaning don't speak.
Chris snitched.
He had to snitch.
But I didn't call her. I text her.
Text.
Not the same.
Let's go down.
[Jim] All right, let's go.
[Chris] What happened here?
God!
-I usually put a towel here to keep this open. -[bleeping]
I did this in the winter, I froze my ass off.
Oh, wait a minute. Hey, hey! Hi.
Hi. Ca... Can you open my door for me?
I live here.
She's calling the cops. Let's get out of here.
My neighbors don't even know me.
[Chris] I'm out of breath. I can't even breathe.
Wait. No, no, wait. Whoa, whoa.
[Chris] How do we get down now?
Simple, simple, simple.
You just put a little pressure on it.
Whoa, whoa! Get on.
-Get on, get on, get on, get on, get on, get on, whoa! -Whoa!
-[Chris] Come on, Jim. -[Jim] Whoa, hey.
Man, that was fun, man! Come on.
See? That was easy.
[siren wailing]
[Jim under breath] Jesus Christ.
-Hi, how are ya? Jim Belushi, yes. -How are you?
I got stuck up on the fire escape.
Smoking a cigar and the door locked.
-So... yeah. -[cop] Oh, hey!
Can I get a selfie?
-Yeah, you got a phone? -Yes.
-That'd be great. -Oh, sure.
Chris, why don't you take a picture of us?
Chicago's finest.
[siren wails]
Going into battle.
Gotta sharpen my mind!
Sharpen that edge. [exhales]
Okay, I'm going into battle without an axe.
[Christie] So then, what else
then Gregg is front of mind that we need to focus on here?
My name is Christie Hefner,
and I've been an adviser to Jim
since day one when he started the business.
Well, I was Playboy Enterprises' CEO for twenty years.
So, I was the longest serving female CEO of a publicly traded company when I left.
[Jim] Christie is very respected in the cannabis business.
She's definitely the one who
brings my vision down to reality.
I just think that...
We've been getting emails, phone calls,
people have been bugging Gregg, me, Chris
that they want us to come in their states.
And it's not like we're pursuing them,
they're coming to pursue us.
We have a plan that we agreed to
that was the basis on which we raised some capital.
What about your bad idea?
Just quiet down.
-Now is the time. -No, it's not.
Do I need to call a time-out here? What's going on?
What's going on is he wants to expand in ten states
in the next 90 days.
-[Jim] That's not-- -Well, that's ambitious, my dear.
-With no plan of any kind. -Bull crap!
[Chris] That's exactly what's happening.
That is not what's happening.
We have a lot of people that are interested
in having the Belushi products.
The Blues Brothers,
-Captain Jack-- -Okay, let's... let's lower the temperature
and just unpack this a little bit.
Okay, go ahead, Jim.
Just let me make a note here.
Snitch.
My dad used to say
when they want you... do it!
There's nothing that's
time-sensitive about these brands.
It's about when and how.
More states we have to try and do that in,
the more complex it gets.
It's wonderful and critical to have
someone that has the vision and the energy that Jim has,
at the same time we have to choose our opportunities
and then to make sure that
the larger board has the confidence to make decisions as a team.
I'd like to expand this brand
into the other states and we got ten people that--
Just because ten girls wanna date you
doesn't mean that you have to be polygamous.
I think it's great that there's...
this
-enthusiasm and demand. Yeah. -Wait a... wait a minute. Let me ask you something.
There's ten girls who wanna date me?
We have to be able to consistently execute launch.
You're gonna have to visit these locations.
That way we can actually do due diligence.
That's a great idea. We can check out the community.
We can check out the employees,
check out the facilities,
see what kind of work it needs but--
[Christie] So, Jim, let's agree that you're gonna report back
before you make any deals.
And if we like what we hear
we'll start with your favorite one.
Now, we agree here, right?
I said one.
Okay.
Christie said I should go out and vet these people.
And she's absolutely right.
Boots on the ground. We gotta vet everything.
I'm just gonna vet it quickly.
[Anthony] Today, we're gonna be doing clones.
Every single one of these leaves,
you can make an identical plant out of it.
[Larry] I wanna learn about the farm.
I have a goal in mind.
I wanna run this puppy.
I love the idea of them expanding.
That means they're gonna be on the road.
I... I should be the boots on the ground here.
Captain Larry, reporting for duty.
[Anthony] The clones we start with the RO water.
-RO? -[Anthony] Reverse... Reverse osmosis.
It basically filters all the water from the river
that makes it a 100% clear for our clones.
The pH out of the river is usually high.
7.5 if it rains a lot. It could dump.
So what we have to do is adjust this pH.
The cannabis wants a certain range.
And usually it takes about two gallons to...
to do these trays.
These trays have 98 plugs...
-98 plugs? Wow. -...put these babies.
-[Larry] Okay. -[Anthony] Each tray,
and usually we do about 400 at a time.
Four hundred?
And then while that's gonna sit,
we're gonna get cloning and this is gonna be the easy part.
So, each one of these leaves
we're gonna go ahead and clip it down there.
Hold the node away from you.
-[Larry] Hold... -[Anthony] Cut it at an angle into there.
Cut it again.
Yeah, it should make a little check mark.
-See the check mark? -Oh, yeah.
[Anthony] Look how much soft tissue we created.
-Mmm-hmm. -[Anthony] We get rid of the node
'cause again, we gotta put 98 on a tray.
And then hold it up, get the tips...
Top it, nodes, check mark.
Is there a lot to learn? Yes, there is.
Was Anthony going kind of fast?
He sure was.
Am I worried about it? Mmm. Not at all.
That's a lie. Could you tell?
No, you couldn't 'cause I'm a good actor.
-[Anthony] Wanna try? -Yeah, please. Thank you.
So, I'm just gonna cut,
and I'll just cut here, oops, there.
-Cool. And now I'm cut-- -Node away.
What?
-Nod a... Node away. -Node away.
No, this... this way, Larry.
Node away...
-[Larry] Oh, you cut it... I see it. -...and into it. Yeah.
-[Larry softly] Okay. -All right.
-So start here... -So, node away.
...halfway into it,
-check mark. -That's what I was doing.
-It was a little different. -Okay.
-And top it. -Hit the tips.
-Because 98 have to fit in that tray.
Wow! That's a lot.
-Think you got it? -Okay, yeah. Now I know.
Node away.
-[Anthony] Perfect. Oof. -Ow!
[Anthony] They're very sharp.
We gotta get rid of that.
That goes to the compost, and just top this.
[Anthony] No, no, you're getting the top! [scoffs]
The hell is this?
Garbage.
[Larry] Hey, come on, Larry.
-Other way. -[sighs] Node away.
[Anthony] You clipped through it again.
-Larry. -[bleep].
[Anthony] Your notes are worthless.
I will not be defeated.
You know what? I... just... just give me one minute.
-Okay, just... -Yeah, I... I'll keep it.
-Just one minute here. -I'll keep that.
[Larry] Come on, Larr. Come on.
Hmm. Come on.
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!
You can do this, man.
Come on, man.
[whispering] Get it together.
You got this.
Who won best supporting actor
as Peachum in Three Penny Opera?
You did, bitch. You did. Come on.
You can do this, Campbell.
[groans softly]
Let's do this.
[softly] All right, let's go. Let's go. Yeah.
Let's go. Show me more. Let's go.
-[Anthony] All right. -I'm ready. Let's go.
[Anthony] We have 400 to go,
-you've gotta do faster than one minute. -[Larry] Yeah.
This is how I travel.
Protect my neck,
protect my ears 'cause of people chattering.
Got my traveling hat.
See?
This way nobody recognizes me in the airport.
People still stare.
But they don't know it's me.
I love being on the road.
Fun, isn't it?
I'm Willy Loman, man.
I'm out there, "They love me in Rochester, honey."
I'm Willy Loman out here selling with a shine on my shoe.
-Willy Loman, Death of a Salesman? -Yeah.
Tennessee Williams,
he wrote it.
Arthur Miller.
Arthur Miller Dance Studio, I did that in high school.
Not Arthur Miller Dance Studio.
What do you think he wrote plays and ran a dance studio also?
He died at the end of that play, didn't he?
Maybe.
That was the main message.
What message did you get out of it?
That he was dedicated to his work...
to support his family.
His wife loved him.
Well...
Can't say the same about you.
I did a television series for CBS called The Defenders.
Short-lived.
It was based on a real guy, Michael Cristalli.
He was a criminal attorney in Las Vegas.
Well, Michael's now in the cannabis business.
And he really wants to partner up again.
So, I'm very excited to see this tour.
[Jim] Michael! There you are. How are you?
We got... we got him.
So, you know, I played Michael on The Defenders.
I don't talk as clear as him.
No, you do. You gave a better closing argument than I did.
Ah, thank you, Michael.
Yes, I got explicit
orders from Christie and the board not to make any deals
till I report back to the board.
[sniffs]
What fun is that?
Nothing juicy about that.
"It's juicy, Chris."
What the [bleep] is juicy?
There's no reason for it except additional drama.
And that's what he feeds on. Drama.
[man] Just sensors throughout the whole box, anytime the
temperature, humidity rise...
The seal will kick-off.
It'll even alert us to our phones if
someone left the light on or...
-Really? -Yeah.
[Jim] That's what I need.
What the [bleep] is this?
Captain Jack plants, burned to a crisp.
I left the lights on.
Love the science of this business.
I think I got great technology in Oregon.
These guys are killer.
[Michael] This machine is essentially a... an X-ray machine.
Eliminates any impurities in the plant.
Very expensive machine, by the way.
-Took us a while to get this. -Yeah.
[Jim] Here we go.
So this is all trim?
[man 1] What we'll use is a 190 proof ethyl alcohol.
Keep it at negative 70 degree Celsius.
So that will enable us to pull the most amount
of THC and cannabinoids out of the plant.
[Jim] Oh, it's going in.
I can use a cold bath like this.
Knock some of the toxins out of me.
[all laughing]
[Michael] This is my Pablo room.
Pablo Escobar room.
Come on in here.
Back before cannabis was legalized
this would get you a lot of time.
[Jim] All that work in there
we come to these little fun sacks.
Oh, my God, it's just like walking into a bank with stacks of cash.
All right, show me what you're growing here.
Lo... Ooh! Look at this room, Chris.
I don't have a great poker face.
I was blown away.
So, this is all grown in rockwool, right?
[man] Everything is grown in the rockwool.
Yeah, this whole section is the Gelato that we're growing.
And in the bottom here is Runtz.
They're both testing high, good terpenes.
They look very beautiful, very healthy, I have to say.
Coming this spring, Belushi Farms strain.
Cherry Pie, Black Diamond.
Stop promising before we even finish the tour.
What are you doing?
[Jim softly] Whoo!
Beautiful, beautiful. Yes!
And... and they really look great.
Michael, you did a really good job here.
[Michael] Belushi's Farm in Vegas.
Belushi's Farm in Vegas.
-Hey, I like that. -[Chris] Take it easy.
Come on.
He's unbelievable.
What the [bleep]?
[Jim] I wanna be in Vegas with Qualcan.
The tour is going great.
-Listen. I... I might-- -[phone ringing]
[softly] I'm not gonna pick it up.
She's on my ass not to make these deals.
She wants approval.
Message.
"Can't come to the phone right now.
I'm on the toilet.
Will call back tomorrow."
[chuckles]
She hates toilet jokes.
[Jim] Perfect weight.
These guys are good.
I mean, I'm learning so much about this grow...
that I feel attached to it.
And I need that.
Our goal is to make our edibles
with the least amount of flavor as possible.
'Cause we don't want you to taste the cannabis.
We want you to feel like you're eating a regular candy
without having that aftertaste that edibles tend to have.
Yeah, but sometimes the terpene values
are part of the medicine involved, right?
Yes, that's correct.
Just depends on what your goal is.
[Jim] Can you make a, uh,
Full-spectrum one to one to one edible for me?
One THC, one CBD, and one CBN.
That is a cannabinoid that
helps promote sleep.
And to think that combination of those three
with the THC elevated the CBD and the CBN,
you'll have a better rest, a better sleep.
Can you come up with that recipe?
Yeah, that's definitely something that we can do.
Let's do it.
-[woman] Okay. -One to one to one?
-One to one to one. -All right.
I'm gonna partner with my old friend, Michael Cristalli.
We're gonna make Vegas, Nevada very happy.
I'm really excited to have an opportunity
to collaborate again
uh, with Jim and to just bring this project forward.
[Jim] It'll be fine.
[Chris] We'll see.
[Jim] Deal's done.
Can I make these deals alone
before I go back to the board?
Yes.
You just... can't just sign a piece of paper and say, "Let's go."
Without even talking to the board first?
You don't do that. Come on.
He deserves a shellacking.
[Larry] My path to take over this farm,
it hit a bit of speed bump, but that's okay.
I'll learn it.
-If you push too far down... -[Larry] Mmm-hmm.
-...they're gonna rot out. -Ugh.
If you don't push enough,
they're just gonna go limp 'cause they're not getting it.
So, what you wanna do is
-get the right amount every single time. -[Larry] Okay.
[Anthony] It's about a quarter inch.
-That seems unscientific. -[Anthony] Right?
It's a lot to go on. It's a lot.
No, it's a lot, a lot.
I get it, I get it, I get it.
There's RO... Oh, [bleep].
-0.7, cut. -Cut the angle, node out.
-Oh, you gotta get it from the pH. -pH.
Get it from 7.5 to a 5.7.
Node it out away from you
and get the tips, but then--
I'm a little nauseous right now.
It's a lot of information.
No, it's not. I get it, okay?
I get it. You gotta do 400 of these,
but 98 of the-- Oh. I get it, all right?
Just, I-I-- Just, just, just give me a minute, please!
♪ I'm going crazy ♪
[Anthony] Larry, is that too much?
I think I just need some water.
It's fine, I'm fine.
I think I'm dehyd--

Hey, Anthony, how are you?
-[Anthony] Jim, nice to see you. -Morning, buddy. How are you?
Before we went to Local Roots,
I called 'em up, gave 'em an assignment.
Can you make brick hash?
Can you do it?
And they said, "We'll take that assignment."
You are the mad scientist.
-We're not gonna miss a thing. -That's right.
By the way, that's a very,
very good-looking toupee.
Toupee?
That's a toupee, isn't it?
My hair?
No, it's not a toupee.
Yeah, it's a toupee.
Hash started, like, in, the 13th century.
India, Nepal, Afghanistan.
Hash is an oil ball.
It's a very premium product in the cannabis market.
People really didn't smoke hash.
I mean, they used to make this hash and they would either
eat it, put it in tea,
or was incense
a lot of times in the churches.
For sure, they saw God with the good hash.
[man] This is where the process starts.
We got our dried, cured, organic, whole flour
that goes into your brick hash.
[Jim] So, this is the beginning. Wow.
[Jim] So, there's no trim going in,
-there's no crap going in. -[man] No.
-[Jim] This is the pure bud. -[man] Yep.
The trichomes on a calyx or a bud.
They're like little bubbles.
That's the oil. That's the THC.
So, when you wash it,
it's knocking off all those trichomes.
You gotta keep the hose close to the ice.
-You're getting water everywhere. -It's part of the experience.
[Chris] I know, but he-- All he's gotta do is lower it.
I try not to micromanage, you know?
This system was designed
to generate hand-washing results
without having the labor of somebody sitting here for half an hour mixing.
-if that makes sense. -Oh, so, it's gentle.
[man] And I'm gonna start the program,
and then, we're gonna see the paddle start to move.
[Jim] Oh.
Oh, that is gentle.
Nice, slow, gentle agitation.
We're breaking off all those trichome heads.
-[Jim] Right. -They're going through that 220 micron screen working bag.
and falling through the bottom of the vessel
and accumulating on the bottom of the vessel.
That material gets filtered
and it goes into these drainage vessels right here.
It's a nice toupee.
-[Jim] You should be proud of it. -[Chris] He already told you
it's not a toupee.
Leave the guy alone.
-Sorry. -It's okay.
[Jim] The hash-enriched water is pumped into this receptacle
where it's strained, extracted and placed on trays to be frozen.
So then, what do you do now
that it's been frozen on a tray?
It's gonna go into the freeze dryer overnight,
put under vacuum,
and the vacuum is going to suck all that water out of the hash.
So, after the freeze drying process,
we're left with our bubble hash.
-[Jim] Wow. -[man] It transforms back into a sandy mixture
and breaks apart very easily.
[Jim] Wow, and there is no moisture in that?
[man] No moisture.
Is there something on there?
A bug?
Very secure.
Now they're gonna take the bubble hash
and place it in the rosin press.
Now this will apply heat and pressure
rupturing the trichome,
and allow the oil to seep out
creating that sticky hash substance.
We're gonna let that incubate for a few minutes
and then, come back to it and go through a rolling process.
Roll out the hash.
Wow.
All of those little trichome head spheres are opening up
and letting all of those nice oils and compound come out.
After several rounds,
what we're going to end up with
is this.
[Jim] Wow.
-[man] These are traditional style brick hash. -[Jim] Just like--
-Like a Tootsie Roll. -[man] It looks very much like a Tootsie Roll.
This is going to then go on to our post-processing
and our packaging.
These will get lovingly, handcrafted into 1-gram balls.
[Jim] This brick hash
that Mel rolls with her own two hands.
It really goes back to the old days.
I mean, a Cuban Cigar
-doesn't go through this much stuff. -[laughing]
And it's a labor of love.
[Jim] Outstanding.
Handcrafted.
The first time I did brick hash,
I ate a whole gram, which wasn't smart.
But I went to a James Gang concert.
Oh, man, did I dig that!
James Gang.
I'd play the music for you but I'd have to pay the licensing fee.
That's a [bleep] toupee, man.
Don't lie to me, Vinny.
Vinny is a stone-faced liar about his hair.
But he makes great brick hash.
High-five, buddy. I'm in.
-Nice. -[Jim] Beautiful.
[man] Really? Thank you.
[Jim] I closed these deals
before I got the approval of the board.
Yes, I did.
Because I really pick great partners.
And if I succeed,
Christie will ride with it.
I hope.
[Chris] Again, he's gonna get in his own way.
We could be [bleep] here.
I do not make the same mistake twice.
I make the same mistake hundreds of times.
Because maybe, one day, it won't be a mistake.
[all greeting]
[Jim] Hey, sir, how you doing?
[Murphy chuckling]
-[Murphy] Hiya. -[Jim] How was your day?
Good, nice to see you, All right...
-[Murphy] Hi, everybody. Nice to see you. -Have you met Chris?
[Jim] I love Murphy.
I love everything about him.
He's a Legacy Grower.
So, we're talking about doing
a, uh, live resin vape pen, some edibles.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
You're gonna make all this live rosin?
[Murphy] All this live rosin...
It's a nice, beautiful cache.
And I wanna make sure that his grow and his people know what they're doing.
'Cause I know he does.
All right, so this is the lemon...
Lemon Tree Creamsicle.
-Lemon Tree Creamsicle. -[Murphy] Yes, sir.
Look at the nice trichomes there.
-[Jim] Oh, my God. -[Murphy] Yeah.
-And you got your boys working, huh? -[Murphy] Yes.
-[Q] Yes, sir. -This is Q, this is Niko.
[Jim] How you doing, man?
-How you doing? -Good, man. Good, good.
Nice to see you.
-Good to meet you, brother. -Nice to see you.
We're still going through the process.
Make sure we get a good trim on it.
Not too much.
But just enough to get that good stuff,
the good greasy, good sticky trichomes on there.
I got it, right?
-[Q] You see you got-- -Wow, you got a lot of rosin on there.
-Look at that. Oh, wow. -[Niko] Yes, sir.
-And every bit counts. -You smell that good lemon note on there?
-Yeah. Take a little hit on that. -[inhales]
-Right. -[Jim] My God.
Chris, you can take this and squeeze it on the fish you make.
-[Chris] Yeah, right. -[laughing]
[Jim] It's a family-run operation.
He is, I think the first
diversity license holder in Arizona,
which is a big deal, you know, as far as
social equity is concerned in our industry.
And it's very important to me.
[Q] You don't really see too many
people of color in the industry as a whole.
And so, I like to be, kind of,
that guy that kind of breaks that barrier.
Wow, I'd be proud to put my name on this, man.
-Look at that. -[Niko] Yeah, it's beautiful.
These buds... they are like women.
Some of them are bougie,
some of them like the Prada bag,
and they like, you know, they be taking care of, others
you just need to throw a roof over their head and--
-You have to show 'em love. Yeah, yeah, yeah. -Yeah, exactly.
-[both laughing] -I got a couple of those Prada girls.
-They're... -Yeah. [laughs]
They are lovely though.
They are lovely, right?
But, boy, do they need attention.
They need some attention. [chuckles]
[Murphy] This is our kitchen here.
-Oh, I can smell the cooking. -That the...
...ladies making all the new edibles.
Hello, ladies.
Jane is the one that runs our kitchen here.
Hello, Jane.
Jane, come here and tell me what this is.
This is a handcrafted dark chocolate truffle.
It's made with just a little cream
and two different kinds of chocolate.
[Chris] Tucson has a great edible shop.
Last year, we launched ice cream
under the Blues Brothers and chocolates...
Crushed.
Hopefully, we can get the same thing done in Tucson.
[Jim] Now, what is that?
Corn.
[Jane] That is caramel corn.
-You haven't tasted it, yet? -No, I have not.
This is really good if you just wanna nibble all day long.
I do nibble.
They're really good.
Yeah, but it's good.
-This is one of the best products. -That's really good.
I like what I see in Tucson.
Great people making great products.
But, you know, I wanna move slow.
-Yeah, one more of them. -[Jim] Chris!
[woman laughing]
-[Chris] I'm coming. -[all laughing]
Thank you, everybody.
-[woman] You're welcome. -[Chris] That was great.
[Jim] It's all there.
Murph, his family, the quality,
the edibles,
the sensibility, their messaging.
All I need to really know is
do they like music?
And they're taking me to their lounge.
Wow, place is packed.
A consumption lounge is a place where
you can openly consume cannabis with your friends
and, you know, the community.
Usually has a big bar and a stage and a band,
and tables, like a little cabaret.
Wow, it's great.
They don't serve alcohol there.
It's just cannabis.
[Adriana] The goal was to create a safe space
for people to come consume and make friends
and it is nothing but
pure joy and healing and happiness.
And that's really our goal.
[announcer on mic] Our special guest has arrived Mr. Jim Belushi.
[plays harmonica]
How you doing tonight?
[audience cheering]
[Jim on mic] This is a special club.
[woman faintly] Yeah, it is.
I've never been in a club like this.
There's some good vibes here.
[audience cheers]
You're gonna love the medicine and love the blues.
You wanna hear some blues?
[Jim playing harmonica]
[blues music playing]
I knew once we walked in there and saw that band and the stage,
done deal.
Done deal.
If I have an opportunity to pull my harmonica out,
deal's done.
[blues music playing]
People rising all the time, in the moment,
this is the way I live,
juicy, dramatic.
[sighs] Oh, Christie, please don't hit me.
We need you to pick up every single plant.
If it's heavy, no water.
If it's light, it gets water.
I'll admit, I... I had a bit of a panic attack.
I... I had to talk myself down a little bit.
But I'm back, baby.
I'm back.
This to me is...
-That's a heavy. -That's heavy.
That does not need it.
And then, now watch. When I put a little bit of water in it,
feel how heavy it is now.
-Oh. -So that's what we're gonna call heavy.
-So, that's-- -That's saturated.
-That's a lot of information. -[Anthony] Yeah,
that's a lot of different steps.
Whoa, what's that?
[Anthony] Oh, that's the fogger.
-It's our integrated pest management. -[Larry] Oh.
[Anthony] It's how we keep the bugs down.
It spreads out a dense fog.
No, don't touch that!
The lights are on!
[chuckling] Larry, the lights are on!
The lights are on!
Well, I gotta turn the lights off.
It's gonna burn.
What, is it dangerous?
[Anthony] Don't breathe it.
Don't breathe it?
I'm standing right here.
Anthony!
Well, well, I'm bug-free.
-[Anthony coughing] -Anthony?
Oh. Anthony!
[distorted] Anthony!
Anthony!
[continues shouting]
[distorted] I got you!
It's all gonna be good, buddy.
I got you, man.
[in normal voice] Running a farm isn't easy.
I've learned it takes brains and brawn.
Oh, let's keep this between us.
You're not saving me, I'm turning the lights off.
[Larry sighs]
[grunts]
I saved that man's life.
Not one thank you.
Cup of coffee? Dinner?
Nothing.
-[Anthony] Gee. -[Larry] Okay.
-[Larry sighs] -[Anthony] There's no way you could take over this farm.
[Larry] Come on, man.
♪ Wanna know who you are ♪
Tonight,
we are going to teach you about growing cannabis.
Growing cannabis is like
three different types of vacation.
Outdoor.
That's like going camping with your best girl.
It's beautiful out there.
Lovely Mother Nature.
But if it rains, can you get wet? Yes.
If the bugs come out, can you get bit?
Yes. Just like our plants.
Another type of girl is the greenhouse.
That's what I have on Belushi's Farm.
I love it.
It's kind of like going to a cabin.
You get the same nature outside but you're protected.
Now, let's go to the indoor grow.
These indoor grows are like a five-star hotel.
-[bell dings] -[Jim] You're paying for everything.
Lights, dehumidifiers, air conditioners.
You're paying $12 for a bottle of water.
Not the big one.
The little one.
You've got to pay, honey.
It doesn't matter where you go.
It matters who you're with.
And for you guys,
[Jim] So this is Shelbyville.
[Chris] Yeah.
Right, so they wanna paint these walls.
I think everything should be painted anyway, right?
-[taps pen] -This little space here,
I'm thinking for my office.
[Jim] You know, that's the first thing you look at when
-you look at this. -[cell phone ringing]
-Hey. [clears throat] -[Jim mumbles indistinctly]
[inhales] Christie.
Mmm.
-[line connects] -Hi, Christie.
No.
Jim.
I said one.
We agreed on one new partner
after the board approved.
-And yet, you went and did three on your own. -[mumbles] Yes.
My job is to protect us.
To make sure that we can realize our potential.
Thank-- Thank you, Christie.
[Christie] I can't help you
if we don't stick with the plan.
I just don't want us to get too far out over our skis.
[sputtering] I won't.
I'll stay on the...
You know, the, uh--
Just the bunny hill. The bunny hill.
Bunny hill.
I'll take you up to the old Playboy at Lake Geneva
where we actually had a bunny hill.
Oh, really? [laughing]
That's probably where it came from.
-I'd like to think so, but I'm not sure. -[Jim] Oh, okay.
[Christie] Just want us to be careful
that we are cautious about--
You know, we have a certain amount of capital to deploy here.
This is a really bad market to go out and raise new capital.
We've got so much riding on these new partnerships.
And we're counting on these products
-to do well at launch. -Okay.
Okay.
[Chris] He's unbelievable.
He's able to convince people to do [bleep] that they would never do otherwise.
Does it all the time.
Hey, can I ask you a question?
Sure.
Did you get a call from Chris before the board meeting?
No, I didn't.
Told you.
He did text me.
[bangs table]
Thank you, Christie.
I'm just being honest.
But I don't wanna cause trouble.
No, there's no trouble here.
We're cousins, we're friends.
-There's no problem. -[Christie] Okay.
[Jim] Thank you, darlin'.
All right, I'll talk to you guys soon.
-[Jim] All right. Bye-bye. -[Chris] All right, Christie. Thank you.
[Christie] Bye-bye.
-[phone bangs] -Snitch.
-You're a snitch. -[Chris clears throat]
Yeah, I'm a snitch.
[speaks indistinctly]
I never thought it would be him.
The one to betray me.
Chris.
Snitch.
He looks like Abe Vigoda.
It's for your own good.
Get over it.
[whispers] Get over it.
[Jim] Did I close these deals before I went to the board for approval?
Yes.
[chuckling] Oh! Look at that!
Blues Brother!
Am I gonna get in trouble?
Not if it succeeds.
-Wow, look at this, man. -Ooh, nice.
[Jim] Right there, there's the Blues Brothers' ice cream.
[Chris] Oh, yeah. Awesome.
Our products, they've been in the stores for over a month now.
They've had plenty of time.
It's ready.
I can't wait.
Nice, the brick hash.
Yes, we do. It is absolutely delicious.
How's it doing?
It's doing very well.
It's actually been a massive hit.
Very, very happy over it.
-Have you had any of the ice cream-- -I have.
-[Jim] And? -It is delicious. I love it.
I actually make smoothies with the ice cream.
Blues Brothers' smoothies?
Yes, indeed.
-[laughs] -I like that.
[salesperson] The baby blues.
It's phenomenal. You're doing great things.
-[laughs] -[salesperson] Um,
and your melted strawberry
has got to be probably one of the best drinks I've tried in a while.
Yes!
There's magic here, I'm chasing the magic.
I'm an adult beginner.
What does that mean?
That means I'm 72 years old,
-and back in the hippie days... -What--
...in 1968, I didn't smoke at all.
All right.
But my younger, younger boyfriend
introduced me to it about a year and a half ago.
-[Jim] Oh. -[laughing]
-That helps you with your younger boyfriend? -Younger, younger boyfriend.
-Wow. -[woman] Yeah.
So, I didn't know if I could take your picture
-and my picture together. -[Jim] Sure.
-[woman] Thank you so much. -Oh, my pleasure.
I'm so shy, I'm... [sputtering]
Would he qualify as a younger, younger boyfriend?
-No, I didn't think so. -But we're about the same age, I bet.
-[laughing] -[camera shutter clicks]
[bleep]
[all laughing]
Three
for three.
They love me in Arizona.
Three for three.
Nevada.
Massachusetts.
Willy,
they love me in Rochester.
Let's keep moving, baby.
Next time on Growing Belushi...
What kind of crazy maniac
would take out 13 chickens?
Seen a lot of Law & Orders.
I can solve crime.
Where were you September 30th?
What do you think about chickens?
-Ever eat 'em? -Yep.
[Larry] I'm gonna camp out in the chicken coop.
-[chicken clucks] -[Larry whispers] What's that noise?
[chickens clucking]
-[objects clattering] -[Larry screaming]
Are you and Chris willing to take another hike?
I'm going on a treasure hunt. A very scary treasure hunt.
Do you have that Big Sur Holy weed?
There might be one guy.
You're gonna have to go find him.
[Jim shouting] Javi I know you're in here!
Come on, Jim.
All right. [screams]
Ow! [bleeping] See, I [bleep] told you.
Can I get seeds?
Well, it's kind of complicated.
I know what complicated means.
That means no.
