Welcome home. We are W, N, S T, A of 1570 Towson, Baltimore, Baltimore, positive. We’re now I got my purple on. This is what happens. You want to start like not playing so great. I can just put purple on right now. And and ravens are still undefeated. And for now, I like open last a couple of weeks. But for now, we’re going to be doing the Maryland crab cake tour beginning on September the fourth. We’re going to be Cocos, my dear friend, first time ever. Mark Viviano and I are going to sit down it. Paul VIV right now he knows it’s not going to be K Fave if he’s hanging out with me. So we’re going to be over Cocos having a crab cake. Mike versigliano is going to be there talking about art, talking about Kansas City and Baltimore. Patrick mahomes, and we’re gonna have Raven scratch offs. I will not have the gold rush, seven stumblers. I’ll be out of these. It’ll be all Ravens. But it’s time. We get there on the fourth and we’re doing 26 oysters, and 26 eating a dozen a day. Not doing it, but I’m gonna eat a whole bunch of oysters. John shields is all set up over dirt roads. We’re gonna be moving all over the region, really, all over the state, onto the Eastern Shore, back down to Ocean City, with the mayor of Ocean City as well as Congressman John Sarbanes, a whole bunch of people can want to eat an oyster with me. So he was a courageous man who first ate an oyster. So we know they’re safe now we got we’re gonna have a great conversation right now, because Wendy brown finds on she is our chief cannabis officer. She’s the Chief Brand Officer for all things curio. I do love that you guys have orange and purple curio swag so that when I’m not feeling good about the Orioles pitching, or they’re hitting, or they’re I can put on purple and at least so you’re ready for the season, right? Definitely,

Wendy Bronfein  01:38

it’s very exciting. And you know, the opener is interesting because we just expanded and launched in Missouri in the spring, and we got Kansas City against us. And so as a company, we’re like, yay Missouri. And as football fans, were like, well, we better beat them.

Nestor Aparicio  01:59

Listen, we both like Wes Moore, I mean, and I’ll say, I, you know, I like Wes he had been on the show recently. We’re working on that. But when I saw west down, canoodling with the the commanders and, you know, and realizing they play in our state, right? So he’s kind of, he’s kind of gotta do it. But I saw him down there, you know, attaboy, him, with him, and I’m thinking he didn’t really mean that, you know what I mean? Like, when you know what I mean, like, I can hang out with Tomlin, but he knows I don’t want him to win. You know?

Wendy Bronfein  02:30

Yeah, I mean, I try. I wanted to try. I tried to get the group here to go. I was like, well, if we’re at the the season or openers there and the business is there, now maybe we should go to that game. But I couldn’t get anyone

8

Nestor Aparicio  02:41

to do, yeah, you don’t want to offend anybody out there, but we’re gonna do a

Wendy Bronfein  02:45

watch party here with a bunch of bud tenders. So we’ll have fun. Well, listen,

Nestor Aparicio  02:49

I’ll talk about your blood. I want to talk about my experience in your places, and I’ve got move products that are going to help me once I decide to shave and get myself, you know, off the grid for a couple days and relaxing. I’m doing a lot of writing, as people know I’m writing. I’m a man of letters. When I’m gonna be writing some letters to people, but you know, I just want to talk about your place a little bit, because the 420 thing happened. It wasn’t just your thing. It was everywhere because of online. And there’s just so many ways now where my wife is an online shopper. So when my wife wants to go on foreign daughter, and she’s done this, she is an online put it in the basket, put your little medical number, do all that, and then show up. I would just say that your brand and just in general adult use. A year into this, it reminds me a little bit. Don’t take this the wrong way of being in a doctor’s office when I was a kid, and we are talking medical or being at a pharmacy that’s backed up during the winter when everybody’s got the flu, and you gotta wait, there’s a little bit of that. And I know you’re doing stuff as a company to make it a little bit more. And I dare I say, like when you stop by the liquor store, you go in, you get what you want, you can usually get out. And even if you’re in a big place, you get out a couple minutes. You my friends at King liquors on the Friday afternoon with their cash and checking it out. I know that your industry and what curio was, and has always been in the frontage of being able to buy all sorts of sort of apothecary, different items and things like that. You’re trying to make the experience better for everybody. I know you’re working really hard on that.

Wendy Bronfein  04:19

8

Yeah. Yeah. So when we with regard to adult use, you know, definitely so many more people coming through, we do see the same sort of pattern in sort of times of day that get busy, but and obviously in and around the weekends totally gets more intense. And

Nestor Aparicio  04:39

you do sales, you don’t just use Moodle sales. You do a day where, like, I plan what day I’m going to come in to get my move. Because, yeah, curio products are 25% off on Fridays, right?

Wendy Bronfein  04:49

Yeah, exactly. And there’s certain thematic promotions that go on that drive more people. We’ve brought on an expediter in the dispensary. Three. So there’s someone to sort of watch, manage the queue and pull people through the line faster, and even mine.

Nestor Aparicio  05:09

Like, you make your order and it says, we’ll get back to you. You get back pretty you get back really quick to let me know. Hey, it’s there. It’s cool. I can come over. It’s you don’t wait out. So, like, I’m an anti filled stuff out online guy. You know this about me? I hate filling out forms. We have our new tech service coming with this Canadian company, and they’ve got me filling out federal forms. I’m like, You’re the wrong guy. I don’t do that. I’m not an online shopper in that way. I mean, when wise markets came on as a sponsor back there on the plague, and everybody was shopping online, and part of my schtick with them was like, All right, show me that I can actually order an apple online and make this happen. You know what I mean? Because I’m just not that guy and but I think with your store, my wife has taught me this might be the better way to handle it than to come in. And we’ve all talked about your cheesecake factory kind of menu where there’s just a million things you’re better off shopping at home, clicking and stop. You’ll, you’ll just have a better experience from where my wife has been for me saying, Yeah, I’m gonna go over and pick up some because I really like these two. You got me hooked on these to have a better day, good day, choose. And I just say, Well, I’m gonna go shop and stop by. I don’t that’s not a quick thing when a day when you’re having a sale, because your place is really popular. It really is.

8

Wendy Bronfein  06:22

Yeah, I mean, I think, well, it’s you have people who are you still, you still have continual new people coming in. Like, it’s been around for a year, but that’s not very long in the grand scheme of things. So you’ve got people who are, want more consultative shopping, and then or you have people like yours, like, I just don’t want to do it online. I know what I want, but come in and say it, and then, and then you’ve got the online. I mean, once you know what, if you’re, if you’re sort of, like, we’ll call it refilling, replenishing. You know what you like the online is really nice, because whether you’re adult use or medical, you can build your cart. We build the order. You show up

Nestor Aparicio  07:02

on sale. You look at it and and listen, I’m from Dundalk. Don’t let me admit this to you in the middle of our friendship and but like, I’m looking for the sale, right? And if it’s not on sale today, I’m like, All right, oh Friday, okay, oh Tuesday, oh, you know, whatever it is, like, I’ll go that day and you

Wendy Bronfein  07:22

and every other cannabis show, correct? And that’s why I can’t

Nestor Aparicio  07:25

8

get in. And I need to order online so I can. And I know that you’re doing some things there, especially with traffic and ingress and egress that you just we talk about this all the time, by the way, I took a cheap shot at Brooklyn about taxes last week. She didn’t like that. We got back after it at Ocean City about taxes on Canada and everything in general, while it was tax free week in Baltimore, including standing in front of dumpsters with her and having an ice cream, which we all shared last week as well. But I just think, like, I don’t want to say your business has grown. I mean, look, Chick fil A is not a sponsor. I saw they’re doing four lanes of drive by now. Troy Kathy did not plan four lanes of dry. You know, we’re all evolving, right? Literally, and you’re trying to make my experience to order this product as seamless as you can.

Wendy Bronfein  08:08

Yeah. Well, the thing, two things, one is, with online ordering, we don’t like we also don’t have to be open, right? So if it’s the night, if we’ve closed the day before, if it’s the morning before we open, those can all get into the queue, and we have them ready. And then when we, when we first, when the state first launched adult use, we were not allowed to provide curbside service to adult use patients. We were only allowed to provide some medical but that recently changed. So in our property, you know, we sort of have an, what I would call an upper and a lower parking lot, and that lower level has now become the the curbside zone. And I

Nestor Aparicio  08:47

admit something to you, yeah, you know, I’ve been I’ve known you a long time. I knew you before. I knew you. I knew your brand before that. I’ve never been to the back door my life. I didn’t even, you know what I mean, like, I’ve

Wendy Bronfein  09:01

no, it wasn’t always ours. So it was, it used to be a lacrosse store, and then when they left, we took it over. And then I just started

8

Nestor Aparicio  09:09

kind of seeing it when I drive out and I’m like, oh, because people were parking down there and walking up, and it didn’t feel awful safe, and people getting in and one way in and one way out, and people don’t backing up. And so I’m just saying, like, I don’t think you really, you thought, well, we’d like to have a million people here, and now it’s more like, oh, you know, yeah, the backside is something I’ve never used, that I probably should use. I guess that’s my point. Yeah.

Wendy Bronfein  09:34

So if you enter from Aylesbury, rather than York Road, which I’ve never done, yes, you can have, well, there’s more parking spots, and then you can also take advantage of all of the curbside so if you want to, you know, if the weather is bad, if you don’t feel well, if you have kids in the car, if you just want to go, get in and go like you pull into a spot, there’s a sign with directions of what to do, and we come out, you know, you pay for. We give it to you and you leave. I actually did it. I actually did it last week before heading down to the beach. So, yeah, I mean, that’s definitely another option, and it’s great that now we can offer that service to both medical and adult use.

Nestor Aparicio  10:11

All right, Wendy brown fine is here. She’s our chief cannabis Officer, Chief Brand Officer at not just curio wellness and far and daughter. Give everybody the delineation on that, because I have friends that shop at other dispensaries in Harford County, wherever they see curio products that that’s your stuff, but foreign daughter is your storefront, correct? Far,

Wendy Bronfein  10:31

8

yeah, so curio wellness is the is the kind of parent company, the whole company, foreign daughter is the retail brand under that. Foreign daughter is Swedish for father and daughter. The company was started by me and my dad, so it’s a nod to that. And so we have a retail store here in Baltimore County. We have another one in Elkton, Maryland, and our first franchise opened the beginning of this year in Mississippi, and the second one will be opening in New Jersey early in 2025

Nestor Aparicio  11:04

alright. So since the last time we got together, Max Weiss and I share, like I would say now, real friendship. I mean, I’ve known Max 35 years, probably since I thought she was a dude at the City Paper a long time ago. And so we watched the movie together. We watched, Oh, right. We watched shampoo together two weeks ago at Allen’s house in his basement, we had delicious crab cakes from a non crab cake sponsor that I’m gonna plug anyway, because the crab queen, it was delicious. So go see the crab queen. She’s awesome. She has an awesome crab cake. She’s out on Liberty Road, right in the back of a plaza, and it’s awesome. So go hook her up. She’s good lady, and I’m gonna go do a crab cake with her one day, maybe with you one day, we’ll have her crab cakes at your place. I tried that last year with Gina shock. I wanted to make her my crab cake that day, and I couldn’t, because she was unavailable, because Christmas, she has small business, so nonetheless, free plug for her. So since last time I got together Max and I got together, and it’s part of my stick with her, like I have stuff laying around, like the CFL I have laying around. Best of Baltimore awards pictures, I was the best single one year, you know, like I did, yeah, you’re laughing. Laugh away. Title bombs, laughing too. They’re all laughing at me, um, but you got the big banana this year. You know, best of best dispensary, all that. And if Max red say stuff, I don’t win anymore. They don’t let me win anymore. But that’s my shtick with her. I said now, like we’re friends, the fixes and you can never let me be best of her. They’ll say it’s crooked. You know, it’s fine. I’m I’m on the inside, but you won. So I know it’s not crooked. And I listen as far as best dispensary. I am no stranger to dispensaries. I There were people at an event I went to with you that have a dispensary in my son’s neighborhood and in Dundalk, where you sell into there with curio products, right? So people have been other places, and look, man, I’m old school, right? So going out to Colorado 10 years ago, they look like head shops. They look like traditional so it sort of then some of them look like the Willy Wonka candy store where there were jars and there was so there’s so many different ways to do this. And then the video came online, right where everything looked like televisions, and it looked like a Willy Wonka factory. You and your sister specifically, and your father, your family. You wanted to build something out of massage wellness, holistic wellness, all of that sort of post GNC sort of product type of thing. And your father comes from this pharmaceutical background. When you win Best of it’s not that’s not an accident, right? I mean, you never really wanted your place to look and feel like anything that felt like old world pharmaceutical that sort of thing. You have a different feel about your place than a lot of places you to stop and buy an eighth.

Wendy Bronfein  13:45

Oh, absolutely, yeah. We had, we had been to dispensaries out west before Maryland had a program. A lot of it started through that medical space of thinking, okay, the the person who comes to medical cannabis is usually exhausted, sort of Western options relative to their needs. And then that, you know, that means that they’re probably open to other products and services that may fall into a kind of other wellness spaces. And so then that’s how we came up with this concept of not only having the dispensary, but having this front of house retail that had lots of different kind of wellness products, local products, things like that. And then the spa that has acupuncture and skincare services and massage and things like this. And so it’s really and part of it was back in medical also, it meant that two parts right spa and front of house were open to everyone, the whole community, could take part in it, if you were in it. If you were in the MediCal program, you can go in the dispensary, but otherwise you could, you could shop or enjoy the other spaces. Now that it’s adult use, everyone can take advantage of all parts of it. But, you know, sometimes we say like making it, you know, making it comfortable for grandma and soccer moms, right? Like. Everything that you described is sort of the, that’s

Nestor Aparicio  15:02

what I see when I’m in there, right? Astonishing for how stigmatized the plant was, the use of it, I see the, you know, you can’t just smoke it anywhere, that shows up all the way to Ocean City on signs. I said all of that. But then I come in your place and it i It’s a complete cross section of every part of what would look like, Timonium, Cockeysville, Hunt Valley, Baltimore, east side, west side of 83 just people. It’s just everyday. People are in your place every day. Yeah,

8

Wendy Bronfein  15:35

and I mean, a lot of times, even from like the you know, from the policy standpoint, when you’re trying to get people to break the stigma, I often say, like, you know, come sit on the bench in the in the front of house, like in that retail space, and just just watch for a bit like, all ages, everyone’s there. Like, this is not any, whatever you know, stereotype you want to put on who you think the shopper is. It just really isn’t. And to be honest, I would say the majority of it really sits between, probably, you know, mid 30s to upper 60s, right? And it has a lot to do with, you know, like, just life, right? You know, there are there while there’s definitely, and I think we can acknowledge in a medical there was this too, but like, while, there’s definitely people who like it for social purpose, right? Instead of a glass of wine or something else, there, everyone is also just like, I need to sleep. Something hurts, relax, anxiety, like, there’s, it’s just, or, you know, worst case scenario, you’ve been diagnosed with something, and it’s helping that. But like most people, even in the adult use world, are just looking to relax, to sleep or to deal with pain. Those are the top three people, whether three things, whether you’re medical or adult use

Nestor Aparicio  16:48

All right. Well, we’ve done enough of this. Your name is associated with the CFG Bank Arena ushers coming to town. Pearl Jam’s coming to town. They spelled Springsteen’s name wrong on a billboard up Philadelphia day he’s coming to town. Sticks is in town that same night. Down at the Lyric, my friends in sticks. So I am, I’m, I’m playing the Nils Lofgren interviews here next couple weeks. Also my guys in sticks. So if you hear that on the radio, you see it out of Baltimore, positive, it’s because the bands are coming to town. This is, these are the good times, right? Like Downtown starting to rock. You got the orange out, the purple out, despite how you feel about the Orioles lately, they’re going to be playing in October, I still feel like we’re we have some exciting kids are back in school. Good stuff’s happening, right? When, absolutely,

Wendy Bronfein  17:35

I mean when, when we were approached about the redevelopment of the arena. I mean that that really attracted us, because it’s just another space where it’s like investing in our city, right? And in my mind, like that arena, if successful, which is already, but as it continues to be when, when it wasn’t really open yet, was it’s an epicenter, right? If, if the arena becomes popular. Businesses come around. Their restaurants open. There’s things to do. It becomes an entertainment center. Offices. Space gets taken up because it’s attractive to be there. People want to live near it. You know, God willing, a grocery store opens because, you know, we have that problem in the city. But like, you know, it could really be part of this big revitalization moment, and the city deserves it so much. It’s so much better than, you know, the chip on its shoulder and and what other people outside of our own area think of us. So it’s really exciting, and the acts we’re getting are amazing.

Nestor Aparicio  18:33

8

I’m in if I could, my wife’s trying to find an usher ticket. I’m trying. I’ll get into Pearl Jam. I’ll figure it out before the month is over, but this is good times. Labor Day right around the corner. Our friends and foreign daughter are right around the corner with all sorts of like, I can hold stuff up, but the thing that I would tell people, even if you’re not, you’re not a smoker, you’re not an inhaler, you’re not a gummy, you’re not you know, you’ve never taken an Advil in your tablet in your life. Get rid of the Bengay, get rid of the adsorbing Junior and that stuff. And move to this product, move, move to move is what I would say. I keep this product around. There’s different. I I’m not as much into the transdermal gel as I am the bomb balmy. You know this, it is getting a little I’m getting down to the oh, it might be time to shop again. I got this about four months ago, but it lasts. I got this in April. It’s August, and I’m finally running out of it. And I don’t say it’s every day, it’s almost every day. And certainly, when I’m planning fitnessing or yoga or walking, you know, 50,000 steps at the beach during Mako or city, sitting a lot, sitting in a car, I’ll put it on if I’m driving to Cleveland for a concert, just because having it on me loosens me up, and especially after a hot shower. Oh yeah.

Wendy Bronfein  19:48

I mean, I’ve I do like the peloton workouts, and this one of the trainers has a program called glutes and legs, and it’s four weeks. And I’ve done it before, and I’m doing it again. Now

Nestor Aparicio  20:00

I don’t, I don’t do legs, leg day.

Wendy Bronfein  20:03

It was,

8

Nestor Aparicio  20:04

it’s a shame my legs. I mean, you know my legs, you know I don’t do leg day. But

Wendy Bronfein  20:09

like yesterday, I did it, and I was like, I’m gonna be destroyed, like I’m gonna be sore in my back from holding these heavy weights. My legs are gonna be sore. So, like you said, after the shower, I put it on, and I have not gotten sore post workout yet, and I’ve been it’s just like you can stop it even before it happens, which is really awesome. I

Nestor Aparicio  20:29

hit the mat on Monday. I was sore as hell. My left hip was like, I went to bed. I was on ice a little bit, but I put that on after the shower. I watched the Orioles lose and not getting hits, I did and and I woke up and I felt great. So I will highly recommend the move product by our friends at curio wellness. I wear the curio gear around here from time to time. Sometimes it’s purple, sometimes it’s orange. Sometimes it says I’m a blunt person, and you can figure out what that’s all about. As a matter of fact, I’m gonna be doing a lot of writing, a lot of letters to folks. We’re gonna be eating a lot of oysters. Wendy, it’s very important. We used to ask this question, like at Thanksgiving, are you pumpkin pie, apple pie? Mince meat, but whatever. Um, you know, I when it comes to oysters, some do, some don’t, um, I only really had them one way my whole life, being a Dundalk headed oyster of roast with with chucked raw bunch cocktail sauce, some lemon, you know, oysters, you know. And I like oysters. But once damey down to fade, these brought me fried oysters. About a year and a half ago, I started to rethink it a little bit. And then once I had those char broiled oysters at the Super Bowl down in New Orleans 12 years ago, with the butter and the garlic and open Flint, and then the oysters rock. So then I start taking I like oysters. Do you like oysters?

Wendy Bronfein  21:52

8

Yes, but I don’t know that I’ve ever eaten them cooked. I only eat them raw. And I do mean, I do lean more towards, like, small to medium, you know, like when, when they’re really big, I get, like, a little too, like, the mouth feels not the best, okay, but yeah, yeah, no, I it’s definitely, I would order a plate of oysters for sure. Share a bunch. So

Nestor Aparicio  22:16

if I get them cooked, will you try? I mean, you’ve never had an oyster grilled with butter and garlic. You’ve never had that or cheese on top. Nothing like that. No,

Wendy Bronfein  22:25

and I don’t know why. It just doesn’t even sound like appealing. This usually just like an only raw food.

Nestor Aparicio  22:31

This is exactly what I said to Dami. I said to Damian, listen, no offense to your fried oyster, but this is faithless. And when I come in here, I’m getting a crab cake. I might get some soup, just because it might be a cold day, and that’s what I’m into. I’m going to load up on French fries. The coleslaw looks great. I might get a beer. If I’m going to eat an oyster, it’s going to be raw for the bar because I see it there. I might get steamed shrimp. So it’s so far down, it’s like, people say I don’t eat calamari. I’m like, it’s just because you didn’t go to a meat cheese and it wasn’t at the top of the menu, and you’ve eaten the shrimp skin. You got other things. And I feel that way about oysters in general. And I’m going to talk all month about it with the oyster recovery partnership, and what they do with the shells and how they seed the bay, and how the oysters make the crabs, and just in a general sense, what oysters do to oxygenate the Bay, which really helps my other sponsor, at Liberty, pure solutions, because they keep your water clean at Wells, oysters are the or the well water of making crabs healthy. So I’m learning all of this stuff along Damien’s, teaching me all this stuff, right? But then they’re delicious. And then I think to myself, all right, I’ve never had an oyster with cheese and bacon, and I’ve had spinach that’s Rockefeller, but they’re delicious in all of these ways. And I’m thinking, all right, let’s get creative. I had never had oyster stew, really. It’s just I don’t get I order the crabs too. I just never order it. You know, it’s not that I wouldn’t like it or that it’s unappealing to me. It’s just sort of like five things are in line in front of it in a restaurant. So this time, I’m going to change that. I’m going to move the oyster to the front and order an oyster of some kind at a lot of weird places, and then I’m going to get a steak or some kebabs or whatever they have. But because I’m not eating a dozen oysters a day every day for 20 I’m just not doing that. I’ve told these people that the oyster recovery people are crazy. They think I’m eating three dozen a day. Now I’m not doing that,

8

Wendy Bronfein  24:22

but we’re odds of getting sick at some point really increasing. Stop with

Nestor Aparicio  24:25

that. We don’t, we don’t talk about that before the playoffs. We’ll talk about that. So Wendy bronf, will you? You will come have an oyster with me?

Wendy Bronfein  24:34

Oh yeah.

Nestor Aparicio  24:35

8

All right, good. All right. I’m gonna, I’m gonna hold you to that next month. We’re gonna find the right place, the right place to find. Wendy Brown, fine locally. Is foreign daughter. You do have another dispensary up in Cecil County, correct? Tell everybody about

Wendy Bronfein  24:46

that. Yeah, Elkton, Maryland, there, right near the state line, so to speak, great store. It’s actually it was a store that existed before, and we purchased it. So it’s. To be going through remodel in the new year to take on the foreign daughter look. But great team up there, great store up there. And if you’re, if you’re north, or if you’re traveling to the northern part of the state, you should stop on by. It’s called farm Kent wellness. It’ll Is

Nestor Aparicio  25:13

it close to Chesapeake city, where they have that beautiful bridge. I had a great crab cake there one time. No, it’s, it’s right on south it’s on the other side of the finger lake there, because if you go around Elkton, like South, like down toward Dover, but on the Maryland side, Chesapeake city, if you get up there, go to Chesapeake city. Don’t even Google it. Just go to Chesapeake city and plan to have lunch there. You’ll pull over that bridge and you’ll be like, Oh my god, this is beautiful. And I’m telling it’s 10 minutes from your store. It’s got store. It’s got to be, it’s got to be, all right, yeah, we’re

Wendy Bronfein  25:44

right off Pulaski highway. Okay, so

8

Nestor Aparicio  25:47

you are, yeah, you’re, you’re way on the Elkton 95 side. Just go around the corner, like, literally right around where the top of the bay is there on the Maryland side, Chesapeake city.
