[mellow music playing]
[Jim Belushi] Okay, okay. I got it.
Three pairs of jeans.
Black, two blue.
The national expansion is going great. It's on pace.
[sighs loudly] But you know me.
I need juice.
I need juice. And luckily,
a juicy opportunity just came up.
[speaking Albanian]
[in English] How are you?
-[speaking Albanian] -[speaking Albanian]
[in English] You're not gonna be talking in Albanian while we're there, are you?
-Eh, couple times-- -Come on, man.
-I don't understand it. I really didn't understand... -You understand.
I wanna know what you're talking about
when you're talking in Albanian.
All right, I'll translate for you if I have a conversation.
Don't worry.
The prime minister of Albania has formally invited Chris, my cousin,
and myself to visit him
in the capital of Tirana.
I guess he wants to talk to us about the cannabis industry here in the United States.
So he wants to pick my brain? I don't know.
But who's gonna turn down a prime minister?
-Sweaters... -You're-- You're packing, like, for a month.
No, I weren't. No.
So we're barely done with this expansion in the States.
And Jim, now, he wants to go to Albania.
Unbelievable.
Did you make a copy of your passport in case you lose it?
Made a copy of the passports.
What about medicine? Antibiotic?
I got antibiotics. I got all my meds. I got stuff for my stomach.
I got amoxicillin, penicillin.
-CBD... -Nice.
Salve. In case for my back, for the plane.
Why would you suffer? You're in first class.
-Jealous... -Of course I'm jealous.
When was the last time you were in Albania, by the way?
Ten years.
Do you know what I'd really like to do is... Is go back home.
Qyteze.
Oh, I'd love to go to Qyteze.
It's such a beautiful little city.
Town... Village.
Our dads left Qyteze in the late '30s.
They both came to Chicago.
And, you know, raised their families there.
So, we've been tight ever since.
-Do we have layovers at all? -We are flying...
through JFK, we got a 6-hour delay there.
Maybe we can stop to see Jared.
Oh, perfect. It was so nice to have him on the farm.
-Miss you, Dad. -I'm gonna miss you too, son.
It was hard to see him leave.
Maybe Jared would like to come with me to Albania?
Jim, don't even go there. He can't go to Albania.
He's in the middle of the semester.
-Look, maybe he can take a few days off. -Jim.
What, it's a father-son trip to his grandfather's old country, where he's from...
You're gonna make him feel bad if he has to say no.
You think I wouldn't wanna bring my son Stephen? This is a business trip.
All right, I get it. I get it. I just miss him, that's all.
[Chris Karakosta] All right.
-Okay. -You need help, or no?
I think I'm missing one thing.
We went over the list. I think you got it all.
-What is-- -No, I'm missing one thing.
-That is my belt. -Your safety belt. [snickers]
My [bleep] belt.
[singer scatting]
[dynamic music playing]
[singer vocalizing]
-Is he due out now? -Yeah, I don't know.
The class goes till 2:45 p.m. It's 2:45 p.m.
You're not really gonna try and take him to Albania, Jim.
-I wanna ask. Maybe he wants to-- -He can't leave.
[Jim] There he is.
-[indistinct chatter] -Oh. Oh, yeah.
-[Jim] Hey! -Oh, my God.
[Jim] How are you, man?
-[Jim] Oh, nice to see you. -[Chris] Hi, girls.
-Hi. -Hi. [chuckles]
I-- I'm Jim.
Hi, nice to meet you, Jim.
-Nice to meet you. -I'm Hailey.
-That's my uncle, Chris. -Hi, nice to meet you.
-Yeah, yeah. -How are you?
So, uh, we're just in the neighborhood.
-[whimsical music plays] -Yeah?
Well, we were just at JFK.
We got a really long layover, so we thought maybe we'd come and...
Well, we-- You know, we're going to Albania--
-Albany? -[music winds down]
Albania.
-Where's that? -[Chris] We're Albanian.
We're-- It's a-- It's a little country
between Greece and...
the old Yugoslavia, Macedonia...
By "Norwegia"?
By "Norwegia," she said.
No, no. Across from Italy.
-Oh, okay. -Uh...
-They don't know where Albania is. -No... Yeah.
Anyway, we're going to Albania, the prime minister has asked us to come.
You should come, meet the prime minister, see the old village,
learn about cannabis.
You wanna come with us?
Um... No, I-- I can't.
-Oh. -Well, I gotta study. But thank you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you wanna go to lunch or something? We can buy you lunch.
-We have class in, like, three minutes. -[Jared Belushi] Oh, [bleep].
-[chuckles] -Okay, okay.
Well, you have fun in class. Nice to meet you girls.
-Thank you, nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.
-[Hailey] Have a good trip. -All right, Jared. See you, buddy. Love you.
-[Jared] I love you, too. -[Chris] All right.
Thanks, son. I love you.
-[girls] Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you girls.
-Love you, Jared. -Bye, Chris. Love you.
"You wanna come to Albania?"
Come on, man.
[Albanian song playing]
Albania!
Five hundred years of Ottoman Empire rule, and 50 years of Hoxha,
the worst dictator, Communist dictator, the world's ever seen.
This place was a prison for 50 years!
-Hoxha! -[in Albanian]
-[in English] No good. -[in Albanian]
-[in English] No Hoxha. -[in Albanian]
[in English] This guy was bad. There was no religion.
No churches, nothing.
[demonic laugh]
[Jim] And if you got caught practicing? Ten years in jail!
-Hoxha! -[in Albanian]
-[in English] Bull-[bleep]. -[exclaims]
Yeah.
Now, Hoxha's dead.
-We are free! -[dynamic music playing]
This country was nothing.
Look at it now!
Prime Minister wants to hear our point of view on cannabis, which is super cool, man.
So worried about not getting the clothes in time.
[sniffing loudly]
I stink.
Whoa, whoa, whoa...
You-- You get a bag? That's your bag?
British Airways lost my bags.
So I can stink when I meet the prime minister and the mayor!
Hey, you have any underwear in there?
You have any underwear?
Can I ask you a personal question?
Yes.
You have any underwear in that backpack?
[jovial music playing]
[Jim] It's a great city.
-Wow. -Wow, look at this, huh?
I'm going to see the PM tomorrow, but...
Today, I'm going to meet the mayor of Tirana.
It's a great warm-up for the prime minister, and...
also the mayor of Tirana has great influence in Albania
and with the prime minister
in cultivating where Albania's going.
You smell so bad, he's gonna notice.
-Let's switch. -I'm not gonna switch!
I'm gonna sit next to the mayor.
-Linda, do I smell? -[Linda] No.
[Chris] Rustic is not good.
What do you mean, "rustic is not good"?
[Chris] You have to fly first class.
How did your bag not come here and mine did?
-Figure that one out. -I don't get it.
Those baggage people love people in coach.
They hate the people in first class.
That's the penalty, by the way. That's why you lost your luggage.
'Cause you wouldn't upgrade me to first class.
I hope his bags never show up.
Karma at its best.
-Jim Belushi in the house! -[Jim] Yes, yes!
-What's going on, man? Good to see you. -[Jim] Hi, how are you?
-[grand music playing] -Whoa, what's with the smell?
-[music stops] -[Jim] I'm so sorry.
I knew this was not an authentic Albanian smell, so--
[exclaims] My bags are in London.
-This-- I've been wearing the same clothes-- -Are you serious?
-Two days. -Two days.
-Did your luggage come? -My luggage, well, [speaks Albanian].
-[in English] Look how nice I look. -Look how nice he looks!
Welcome home.
We've been walking, you know, just walking the streets.
It feels so good to be here.
This is an urban, beautiful cosmopolitan city.
So we've come a long way.
The country was a big jail.
It was the North Korea of Europe, and Tirana was the Pyongyang of the time.
Fifty years of psychopathic communism.
Oh, man. He was the worst.
To catch up with, uh, the world like no other country has.
[exclaims] This country is so alive.
So vibrant.
But I don't know if they're ready for the cannabis industry.
What is the attitude, the prevailing attitude, in this country
about cannabis?
It's-- It's still a criminal offence.
So, Edi, the prime minister, said,
"Why don't we ask the people about-- Should we legalize cannabis?"
We're surrounded by countries that have.
So we're saying, "Are we filling our prisons with kids who're rolling, uh, pot
that need to be in school rather than, you know, in penitentiaries?"
-Okay. -So, 87% percent of the people said,
"We should legalize this."
Getting kids to jail for this is-- Is a joke.
This country's modernized so fast in the last 30 years.
Why should we stay behind in one area?
-That's terrific. -That's awesome.
Legalizing cannabis can usher in a whole new era in Albania.
In a medical fashion... Also, it can provide more jobs.
It will help with the economy.
I have a gift for you.
This is the Tirana Clock Tower.
-Really! -Which is the clock tower here, yeah.
Yeah, I know, it's the Tirana--
And it works. Even the clock tower works.
Oh, that is so beautiful.
-Mr. Mayor, thank you. -[Jim] Thank you.
-It was very nice to meet you. Thank you. -So good to see you.
Who are you gonna see next? The prime minister?
-Yes, the prime minister. -Well, look. You may need this.
Uh... I hope you take no offence, but...
it might just be helpful to...
...freshen up.
Cologne.
[mellow music playing]
[Amanda Welch] Larry.
-[Larry Joe Campbell] Hey. -Hey.
One sec, one sec.
-Uh-- -[Larry] Yeah.
Jim says I need to check in with you while he's gone,
and we have something we need to talk about.
Yeah, no problem.
Uh, Anthony said after this next harvest,
we're going to have about 600 pounds too much of cannabis.
[chuckling] Yeah, man.
No, Larry, it's a-- It's a problem for us. It's just-- It's... too much.
-[laughs] I can't-- -That-- That's just-- That's a lot.
We have a surplus because our technology is now really, really good.
Too good.
That sounds like a really great problem to have.
We-- We don't have anywhere to store it. There's nowhere to sell it.
We have the best cannabis. Like, it shouldn't be that hard.
We just unload it to people. They'll sell it. People love smoking.
Where are these people, Larry?
All over Oregon. Like, just sell it to them.
We can't sell 600 pounds of flower in a timely manner to where it's not gonna,
you know, lose its shelf life.
I think you should just call Jim.
-Yeah, well, if I call Jim-- -I just wanna talk to Jim about it.
I can tell you what Jim will say.
"Work harder." So, let's work harder.
And go sell the weed.
That's bull-[bleep].
You're not helping us here right now.
So I-- I just really wish that you would call Jim.
You know what, Amanda? I got this!
As a leader, you have to be willing to step up in the role.
So I'm gonna show the sales team how to sell.
600 pounds of weed...
[shouts] That's great news!
[Jim] Coming up...
Bringing cannabis to Albania!
This is difficult to manage. This is a whole another ballgame for us.
I gotta convince Chris.
[dynamic music plays]
-Where's the bathroom? -There's a restaurant.
[Jim] I need to go.
Okay.
-[exhaling in relief] -Feel better?
Much better.
What did you get, a sandwich?
-No, you wish. -What did you get?
-You know... -[exclaims] Jim.
Are you serious?
I can't wear those underwear another day, are you kid--
You could've told me, I thought it was a sandwich or something.
You took it. You wanted it.
Was this "recycle"?
I know it's garbage.
Can you tell I'm commando?
You might have to go commando to see the prime minister.
Hmm.
I can't believe I stink. I don't have my suit.
I'm minutes away from seeing the prime minister.
How do I get myself into this [bleep]?
Your dad would've been so proud of you,
coming to meet the prime minister in that outfit
and you smell horrible.
-Can you imagine? -Stop it.
Came all the way to Albania to-- To look like this--
Just stop it right now. Stop it. Stop it.
So embarrassing.
Even the shoes. You got sneakers on. You look like [bleep].
Look at me.
Chris is always looking for a moment to upstage me.
I've never seen him this happy.
I feel great, and I look great.
He looks like [bleep].
[Chris] Hey, Jeremy.
-Got your bag. -[Jim exclaims] Jeremy! Oh, God...
-Come on, no time for this... -[exclaims] You are pungent!
We flew Jeremy out, so he can give us his expertise.
But he brought something even more important.
My bag!
Let's find a bathroom.
[dynamic music playing]
How much time we got?
[Chris] Whatever we got, we got. Let's just go.
-[birds squawking] -Birds!
-[squawking] -[Chris] Come on.
Birds...
Here! Here...
[in sing-song] Underwear! I got underwear...
[pants land in a thud]
-Look at this! Underwear! -[Chris] Great.
-[Jim] Oh, my God. -Oh, I'm sorry.
Jim Belushi, the prime minister's waiting for you.
[Jim] Okay, almost ready.
Okay.
-Quick! Deodorant! -Get a-- Get a brush.
[exclaiming] Jesus, I gotta put it all over.
[sniffing] How do I smell?
-[Chris] You smell much better. -[Jeremy] Yeah.
Oh, my God, does this feel good!
[gargles and spits]
[Chris] Perfect. Look at you, you look wonderful.
Your zipper.
[whispers] There, right there, right there...
I don't want you speaking in any Albanian or in English.
Prime Minister.
-Jim. -[chuckling]
-Finally. Finally back. -Finally here, yes.
Mr. Prime Minister. Thank you.
Can't wait to see what he wants to know.
I just hope Chris doesn't blow it.
Oh, very good. Very good. We really have been enjoying the city.
Well, you asked us to come, and we're here,
and I'm very curious in the invitation. I know it's something about cannabis.
[Edi Rama speaking]
You're finalizing the legislation for the legalization.
The recreational--
[stutters] Well, Chris and I are running a farm,
and Jeremy's been our consultant and advisor.
You know, I've booked a lot of cool gigs in my day.
I mean, from Oliver Stone to Roman Polanski.
But I've never booked a gig with a leader of a country.
[chuckles] It is pretty cool.
-Well, I have my father's, uh, old, uh... -[Chris] Yeah.
Old property in Qyteze.
Chris and I both inherited property
in Qyteze.
It's just there.
Never really knew what to do with it.
But, well, it's a little village. But it was a farmland on, uh--
Yeah, our properties are right next door to each other.
-But we probably-- -You mean, for growing?
In-- In Qyteze?
If I can bring
cannabis back to that little village, back to Albania...
back to where my ancestors were...
I would feel like I really accomplished something.
What do you think, Jeremy? What is the weather...
I think Albania has great weather.
You have roughly...
six, seven months out of the year
that you could grow outdoor cannabis,
um, with no environmental issues.
You want us to look.
What a wonderful invitation.
-Thank you so much. -That is beautiful. Beautiful, thank you.
What an honor. But I'm nervous about it.
Because if it goes through, it's gonna fall on my shoulders.
I don't... [stutters] I know a little bit--
[speaking Albanian]
[in English] I know a little bit.
[speaking Albanian]
[in English] I specifically told Chris not to speak Albanian in front of me!
Especially to the prime minster.
Chris could be saying anything.
You know, he's a sneaky little [bleep].
[speaking Albanian]
[mysterious music playing]
[speaking Albanian]
[Chris in English] Okay.
[chuckles]
-Thank you, Chris. -You're welcome.
Yes. I'm really proud of you, Jim.
-Proud of you. -Yeah, yeah.
Thank you.
[Chris] Yes.
[Jim] I came into this industry to heal people.
If I can heal just some of the people in Albania,
I think it would be more meaningful to me than any of these other expansions.
-Okay, man. -Thank you so much. Thank you.
So can we have a selfie?
Uh, yes!
Yes, I can-- I'd love to do a selfie. [laughs]
-There we go. -[Jim] Ah, there.
[guitar music playing]
[dial tone ringing]
[voicemail tone beeping]
Hey, Jim. It's Larry.
Gotta talk to you. Please call me back as soon as you can.
It's, uh... We got an issue on the farm, okay?
-Jim, it's Larry. -[busy tone ringing]
I've been trying to get in touch with you.
[automated voice] Press zero for operator.
Jim! Jim!
-[busy tone ringing] -[shouts] Damn it!
[Jim] All right, let's go!
[upbeat music playing]
[Jim] Look at how beautiful that is.
Wow!
[bells clinking]
You can't seriously be thinking about actually doing this.
Doing what?
Coming here and putting a grow.
The Prime Minister.
He sees my message
about the medical marijuana business
and medical marijuana benefiting people,
and he sees that.
Why can't we bring that to Albania?
-Be realistic. -I am realistic.
We're going national. Now we're going to go global.
You keep piling move after move after move after move.
Listen to me. At some point, we're not gonna be able to manage all this [bleep]
-We can manage it. Come on. -We can't manage it, Jim.
You know, we're still in the process of expanding in the US.
I can't imagine doing business on two continents.
I'll give you this.
We can look at a couple sites and see if there's viability.
We got Jeremy here. He can look at them.
He can even say, "Jim, forget it."
Or a strong possibility.
-Okay? -Can you not make any commitments
at least 'til we leave and go back and talk about it?
-I can do that. -Alright.
This is an amazing opportunity,
but I learned something from the national expansion.
And that is we got to vet it out.
We really got to put boots in the ground.
We got to see if it makes sense business-wise.
Look. Look at that farmland. Wow.
So on our journey back to my father's home village,
we're checking out the different farmlands
and see which region would be the best.
Right along this area, I think moisture from the water
gives us a propensity for mold.
We got to find the right location.
And we're talking to people about land, land quality.
So the soil is very good.
The water is good. It's already a natural pH.
-But what about the pests here? -No pests.
Wow.
Oh man. Jim is getting excited. I can see it.
I know he's gonna want to move forward.
Which means I'm screwed.
[Jim] I think we went down a wrong road.
This is not Qyteze.
Chris.
-Alright. -This is another village.
Well, you're the co-pilot.
You're the driver. You're the worst driver with directions,
lost about in Albania.
-Hey, man. -Hello.
Want to buy some weed?
[stammering] I'm sorry. No, hey.
It's Larry Joe Campbell.
-I work with Jim Belushi. -Oh.
Jim's out of town right now, so I'm kind of in charge.
-Okay. Well, congratulations. -Thanks.
Um, I'm about to make you a very happy man.
-And how's that, Larry? -Yeah.
I'm gonna sell you a lot of great weed today.
Larry, this isn't really appropriate.
I mean, like this parking lot thing doesn't work for me.
I mean, are you gonna sing a song for me now?
-[singing] This strain is bound for glory. -[playing harmonica]
This strain.
[speaking] Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
We're projected to have 600 pounds by the end of the year.
And I'm ready to sell it to you.
How much can I put you down for, man?
Larry, we're already at our limit with you guys right now.
What am I gonna do with 600 pounds of weed, man?
I mean, you could make edibles with it.
You could make... Do you know what dabs are?
-Oh, yeah. -[laughs]
Larry, you could make cartridges.
There's distillate. There's full spectrum.
You could do fresh frozen.
You can make all kinds of products with fresh frozen.
But you won't buy the weed?
No, man. I'm just trying to get to my car.
-Oh, right. -[door handle clicking]
Oh.
-[car beeping] -There you go.
Thanks.
I... I can't let Jim down.
I will find a way to redeem myself.
Thanks for nothing, Jeff from Nectar.
[Jim] Qyteze. Sure is a pretty village though. Look at it.
Wow.
[Jim] Can't believe all our relatives came from these little peasant villages.
I don't think there's any people left here.
There's only a few families.
They can't earn a living here.
[Jim] But if we put a grow here...
-That changes things. -You can boost the economy here
and maybe revive this little town, you know.
I could get a little emotional here.
-You? Come on. -Yeah.
[traditional music playing]
Oh, look at that.
-This is the Karakosta home? -It is the Karakosta home.
This is where your father was, huh?
My grandmother, Katerina, and your grandfather were brother and sister.
When they got married, my grandmother,
the Belushi family donated this property
to the Karakostas so they can live next door.
-Really? -Yes.
This was originally Belushi property.
-Right here? -Sort of like a dowry, right?
And we've been neighbors ever since.
This is the Karakosta house.
That's the Belushi house.
His property looks bigger than mine.
[dog barking]
Just hard to believe that this is where it all started for them.
It's so secluded.
Where'd that DNA come from where John...
Just skyrocketed.
Kind of feel it, huh?
-Kind of feel it. -Oh my God.
Wild place.
Hey, don't walk on my property. Go around on the left.
-Stay off my property. -Hey, I see no fence up there.
-No trespassing. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[upbeat blues music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
This is pure weed in this ice cream.
Now into the ice cream machine.
[echoing] The ice cream machine... The ice cream machine...
Pure weed.
600 pounds is too much to sell
and we need to oil some of it.
[echoing] Oil some of it... Oil some of it...
There's fresh frozen.
[echoing] Frozen... frozen...
You can make all kinds of products with fresh frozen.
You could make cartridges.
[angelic choral music playing]
[phone ringing]
Come on, pick up. Pick up.
-[Jim on phone] Hello? -Hey. Jim.
I've been calling you, man.
[Jim speaking]
Okay, okay. Then let me make this quick.
We got kind of a big problem, Jim.
[Jim speaking]
No, okay. We have 600 pounds of extra flour.
But I think I have a solution here.
We take it and we make it... We make it into fresh frozen vape pens.
[Jim speaking]
Um, can I... Can you just say, "Yeah, go for it"?
I just need permission, man.
I can't do this on my own.
[Jim speaking Spanish]
[speaking indistinctly]
[speaking Spanish]
[in English] Do I have the green light?
[Jim speaking]
What do I gotta do to get a yes out of this guy?
Quick question.
Do you still like the Bears?
[Jim speaking]
Uh, did you still have that Mercedes back in LA?
[Jim speaking]
[in Spanish]
-[Jim speaking] -[in English] Yes, that's good enough for me.
We're going to go for it. Thank you for the green light.
Let's go.
[Jim] It's a beautiful valley.
[Chris] Yeah.
[Jim] So how many acres do you think this flat land is here?
[Jeremy] Probably about ten acres.
We could do an outdoor grove here, can't we?
Yeah, you're about 3,000 feet in the air,
so you could grow outdoors for six to seven months.
-[Jim] You can do two cycles, right? -[Jeremy] Yeah.
[Jim] So what's that, Chris?
Well, you're gonna get 2,500 plants an acre.
That should give you 3,500 pounds per acre.
-[Jim] Each cycle? -[Chris] Yeah.
[Jim] So how much is that in the math?
[Chris] That's 35,000 pounds.
If you get 350 each cycle,
it's 70,000 pounds a year.
70,000?
Wow.
You think there's a lot of rock in this dirt or no?
I don't know. We'd have to run some tests, get some soil tests done,
see what we'd have to add to it to get it to where we want it
-for optimal cannabis planting. -Right.
Sun's perfect.
It's gonna set over there right behind that mountain.
But at this altitude, what kind of strains can we grow?
Mountainous strains?
I think you're gonna change your genetics
um, throughout the year.
So summer we could grow strains like we had from Columbia.
And towards the end of the second planting,
we can do more of the Afghan strains,
-like Captain Jack. -Yeah.
[Jim] Oregon to Albania.
[Chris] What's our biggest obstacle?
Getting supplies.
Besides that, this is really nice land.
I think Jim should definitely do it.
[Jim] We can employ a lot of people here.
I like that.
Let's look at this river.
Yeah, look at that little creek.
Gorgeous water source, huh?
We got water, a great farming soil,
we got good sun. Beautiful.
I want this so bad.
I like it.
Bringing cannabis to Albania.
I got to convince Chris.
So beautiful, this church.
Magnificent.
Oh, by the way, happy birthday.
You remembered my birthday? After seven [bleep] years
we've been together, you never remembered my birthday.
-You're telling me I forget your birthday every year? -Yes.
[Jim] Alright.
[crowd] Surprise!
[singing] Happy birthday to you.
[singing in Albanian]
[Chris] Thank you.
I never expected a birthday party.
I mean, I just had no idea.
I didn't even think Jim would ever remember my birthday.
-[all cheering] -[Jim speaking Albanian]
[Chris] I knew quite a few people at the party.
I have two cousins that live here.
One that lives in Korçë. They all came.
So I probably had about seven relatives here today.
[festive music playing]
[Jim] I surprised Chris.
Oh, I loved seeing his face.
Thank you.
We've all gathered to celebrate my cousin Chris's 80th birthday.
[all laughing]
Ha-ha, very funny.
I'm hoping that you have a couch somewhere, 'cause he's gonna need a nap.
[all laughing]
-And I'd like to present you with my gift. -Wow.
This represents our trip here to Tirana and Qyteze.
Very nice. Thank you.
You see? This is the clocktower
and it always has the time.
Huh? How about that?
[scattered applauding]
The mayor gave this to you in Tirana.
You're re-gifting?
What's the matter with re-gifting?
Can you believe the bull [bleep] gift I got from Jim?
Re-gifting the gift he got from the mayor?
-I did get you a special gift. -What?
-[all laughing] -Stephen!
-Hey! -[crowd] Aw.
It's Chris's son.
Came from America for the party.
-Glad to see you. Thank you. -Happy birthday.
Although he gave me the best gift, which was bringing Stephen here.
That was the only gift I needed today.
Stephen has never been here before.
He's heard a lot about it
more from his grandfather, my dad.
So I can admit that my cousin Jim made that happen,
which was a wonderful gift.
It was a wonderful gift.
[singing in Albanian]
[Jim] Family. That's what this place is about.
Sweetness, kindness, generosity.
[Chris] Hugs, kisses, love.
I mean, what a spectacular day.
You know, and then I started thinking about it
and I put two and two together
and I know why he did it.
He wanted to push me over the edge
so I would say yes to Albania.
[upbeat music playing]
-[man speaking] -[Jim] Yes.
-[man] One photo? -[Jim] Sure.
-There you go. -[man speaking]
He called me an icon.
I'm an Albanian icon. I am.
I'm like Steve McQueen.
[motorcycle revving]
Icon.
[singing] I can sing.
I can dance.
No smile.
I can play harmonica.
[playing harmonica]
-Jim Belushi. -Yes, honey.
How are... Oh.
I can't keep the women away.
-[playing harmonica] -[singing in Albanian]
Icon. How could I be an icon?
John was an icon.
Number one movie, number one TV show,
number one album at the same time?
I'm like... A con.
-You liked the party? -I had a great time at the party.
-You liked the music? -I loved the music.
-The food? -Oh, the food was unbelievable.
-The people? -The people were spectacular.
So are we gonna do Albania?
I'm very excited.
That's a yes?
That's a definite yes. How can I say no?
How can you say no?
I knew it.
[Chris] Yeah, it's a big undertaking,
but I think if we can do something here
and do a grow close by and put some people back to work,
get some people back into this community,
for Jim and I it would be awesome to give back to Albania
and especially to those people that raised us,
all of our aunts and uncles.
I mean, it would really feel good to give something back.
Albania! Cannabis!
[in sing-song voice] Here we come.
He played it well. He played it well
'cause I got emotional
and it got me to say yes to Albania.
Stupid. I'm stupid.
[Jim shouting] Stupid.
[chuckles]
[Jim] Hey, Taro. We're back.
Oh my God.
I've been trying so hard to get ahold of you.
Oh, I'm sorry. We had no reception.
Jim...
We had nearly 600 pounds of extra weed.
-Okay. -I didn't know what to do with it,
racking my brain. I went to see Jeff, huh.
I tried, but he couldn't take it,
so I didn't know what to do with it.
You take it and you oil it.
So that's... That's what you do?
That's what you do. Is that a problem?
That's what you do. Yeah, well that's what I did.
Well, of course that's what you did.
[chuckles]
5,000 enhanced live resin vape pens.
Wow.
I gotta give it to you.
-Nice job, Larry. -[laughs]
I'm so proud of Larry.
Some people doubted him.
Chris!
But I believed him.
If you believe in people, they will step up
to what you believe they can be.
If I've learned nothing while I've been here,
I have learned one thing.
Just get the job done.
I knew you could handle it, buddy. [chortles]
That's the way to solve problems.
Yeah, we did it.
Is this my sweater?
-Well, yes. Yes, it is. -Uh-huh.
You said to make myself at home.
Yeah, but when you're at home, do you put on Peggy's clothes?
All the time.
Oh, they're silky [chuckling]
-against my skin. -Oh, Larry.
-[both chuckle] -Good job on this, man.
Hey, hey. The luggage, guys. The luggage.
-Oh, yeah. -Hey, grab it, will you? Thanks.
Hey, I got you something from Albania.
-You did not. -Oh sure, I'm gonna think about you.
The mayor gave me some perfume
that you can give to Peggy.
[Larry] Oh, I love it.
You know, I've been thinking since I got home about Albania
and about the level of change that Edi Rama...
I mean, the people of Albania brought to this country
that was imprisoned for 50 years.
And I've been thinking, you know what.
We still need to make changes in cannabis here in the United States.
I think it's time to stop with this letter writing crap
and really do something now.
I'm seriously thinking about running for public office.
-Really? -Yeah.
You'll get killed, but um, you know what? Go for it.
I'm going to run for office, Arnold.
You cannot be a one-issue candidate.
They always fail.
I'm glad you're in the business.
I'm glad you're fighting for the right cause
and I'm glad to be your ally in this.
-Would you be on my exploratory committee? -No.
I'm gonna change these cannabis laws
to make sure that the medicine gets to the people they need,
the prisoners are out of jail,
the taxes are collected for the state government
so they can build schools and fire stations and police stations.
I mean, you've already one thing going, your passion.
But it is important that we speak to the heart.
Look at people in the eyes and talk to them
and explain to them why you feel passionate about it
and why they should start thinking...
-Thank you, Arnold. -...about going your way.
Arnold says, "Show the people my passion."
I can do that.
Are you tired of over taxation?
[shouting] Yeah!
Are you tired of over regulation?
[shouting] Yeah!
Are you tired of 40,000 men and women incarcerated in prison
for the simple use of cannabis?
-[shouting] Yeah! -[Jim] I am too.
And that is why I want to announce today
that I have started to explore the possibility
of running for Senate of the United States of America.
-[crowd cheering] -[Jim] I am going to make a change.
I am going to make a change.
He's crazy.
[audience applauding]
This looks to me like a communist propaganda poster.
But don't worry about it. We're going to get you there.
♪ Everybody get on board ♪
Thank you.
I think Jim Belushi would make a spectacular senator.
He's driven. He's smart.
He's strong.
He's attractive. He's charismatic.
He can sing and dance at campaign rallies.
He has the interests of a great industry in Oregon at heart.
And I can't wait to visit his office in DC.
-Okay? -[producer] Yeah.
-Did we cut? -[producer] Yeah, we're cut.
Oh man. He's [bleep]
