Brian Windhorst on Stephon Castle comments saying Spurs don’t have nothing to worry about, obviously feel like we’re the better team:
“When I hear the Spurs players basically say it’s not them it’s us. It takes me back to last year when the Knicks played the Celtics, and takes me back to last round when the Cavs saying analytically we think were ahead. The Knicks do this to teams, this is what the Knicks do. And look last year when I was in Boston and I watch the Knicks get up 1-0 that’s the vibe I had. I was like, well this, this and this happened but I think the Celtics are the better team. How many times do the Knicks have to do this to their opponents for everybody recognizes this is what they do.”
My two year old is singing go ny go
My 5 year old is walking around screaming let’s go Knicks
It can’t be understated how impactful this is for an entire generation
@TheDime_8th just passed 300 episodes.
Six years of conversations. Almost every single week. At times, it has felt like a true hamster wheel, exhausting, with always something else to be done.
When I first started recording, my goal was simple. I wanted to better understand the cannabis industry.
What I quickly realized was that cannabis is not one industry.
It is endless micro-industries moving at different speeds, under different rules, with different pressures, incentives, and realities.
The deeper I got, the more I realized how much I still did not understand.
Over the years, guests made predictions about where the industry would be by 2025 and 2026. Some of those predictions have come true. Kinda cool, if we are being honest.
Others feel further away today than they did when they were first said.
That is part of what makes this industry so difficult to follow and so hard to build in.
Progress is never clean. The path is rarely straight. The people who stay in it are tested over and over again.
Cannabis is hard. It is taxing. Watching so many talented, strong people step away has been difficult. But that is also part of the shedding.
What remains are the people, companies, and ideas durable enough to get up every single day and keep going.
My son asked me a question the other day when he could see I was in it.
It made me think about a lesson I keep trying to teach him. Not about cannabis, but about life.
Anything meaningful is hard.
The easy part is being excited at the beginning. The real test is what you do when it becomes frustrating, uncertain, repetitive, or uncomfortable.
I told him that we like doing hard things. Not because they are always fun, but because that is how we grow.
That feels true in this industry too.
So for anyone who has been in it, take a second and appreciate that.
This industry certainly does not always feel as rewarding as it should. But continuing to show up through the hard parts matters.
To every guest who trusted us with their story, thank you.
To every listener who trusted us with their time, thank you.
I never take for granted how precious your time is. The fact that you choose to spend any of it with us does not go unnoticed.
Cheers to everyone continuing to do hard things.
300 episodes in, I am grateful for the conversations, the lessons, and the chance to keep learning in public.
And as long as we keep doing this, I promise to keep tweaking, keep pushing to understand, keep exploring, and keep treating your time with the respect it deserves.
