Welcome home. We are W, N, S, T, Towson, Baltimore. Am 1570 and Baltimore positive.com. Boy. We got a busy summer, lots going on, not just the fact that we got football injuries and Luke sat knowing mills. We got the Orioles playing every day, things happen, and we’re going to be doing the oyster tour for our 26th anniversary, 26 oysters, 26 days, 26 ways. I am getting creative with the menu items. Somebody’s going to meet me at the pepper mill for some oyster stew in September. I promise you, our friends at the Maryland lottery send me with the Gold Rush sevens, doublers. We’re going to be doing the cheatstros game next Friday, the 23rd we’re going to be doing the show down there. Luke’s going to be joining me. Got some other cool guests stopping by as well. Baltimore fire folks are stopping by next week. Some folks that I’ve met, a guy named Matt Koster from the Baltimore firefighters I’ve never had on the show. Big Oriole fan cheatstrozer in town will do it. I also have the Raven scratch offs as well. Our friends at Liberty, pure solutions, keeping my water crystal clear and Jiffy Lube MultiCare putting aside on the road our 26th anniversary. I’m moving from the cupcake to like some sort of crab oyster thing that’s really going to annoy Jessica from Harford designs, who designs my website. Um, that’ll be happening next week. Wendy brown fine and her family and good friends at the Curia wellness and foreign daughter sponsored our 25th anniversary. Now we’re in our 26th year, but all that stuff still up at the website. It’s been a couple of weeks. Wendy disappeared last week, going spearing at in Las Vegas, and I, I think I may run into you at Mako here. This week, we’re going to have both of our senators on, Senator Cardin, Senator Van Hollen boy, things have changed a lot, right? I mean, I remember a couple years ago going to Mako, and we’re trying to figure out recreational, medical then there’s commissions, and then there’s laws, and then there’s all of this stuff. And now it’s like when I go to make it this is something that’s completely everybody talks about in a different kind of way. And how is your summer going? Wendy, it’s good to have you aboard. Thank
Wendy Bronfein 01:56
you. My summer is going really well. Yeah, I husband and I popped over to Vegas for a couple nights, and we went to the sphere. So the last weekend of dead and CO that was fantastic. Oh, you saw you two there, though, too I did, but yeah, I’m
Nestor Aparicio 02:12
more of a you two fan, so there no comparison for me. Oh,
Wendy Bronfein 02:16
no. I mean, my husband, I’ve seen I had seen you two before the sphere, but it was more my husband and his brother that were, I sort of was like, I don’t ever need to see him again. But the sphere factor was cool. This was much we both, like, dead and CO but this, to me, was so much better, really. Okay, well,
Nestor Aparicio 02:36
you’re a dead person, then that’s just that. Yeah, it’s like, Elvis with The Beatles. Yeah, you know, you know, you pick one, it’s fine.
Wendy Bronfein 02:41
It was so awesome. There was this one point with this, with the way that the screen was, I love fireworks, and the way the screen was, it was, it was like these, like little light pieces that were dropping down. And if you stared at one, and you tracked it, you know, it kind of looked like it was coming towards you. And so very shiny, yeah, and so I was staring looking at it, and I like, to have my husband. And I was like, I feel like I’m inside of firework. And then, and then a couple, and then I, like, went back to her that couple seconds later, I talked to Mike. I was like, I think this is one of the best moments of my life.
Nestor Aparicio 03:17
Well, you know, I’ve seen a lot of concerts. I mean, I’ve been on fire this summer with Sammy Hagar and the Van Halen thing. And I went out to Cleveland to see Tom Dolby, my pal who comes on the show all the time. And I saw a show the other night. And we’ll get we’ll get to our our foreign daughter stories, and I want to talk about tinctures this week as well. But I saw Steven page from Barenaked Ladies on Monday night, do a solo show, and my wife, like she is a really big bear, naked ladies fan. Like every word, every song, all the clever stuff made you say underwear $1 million like, all of that stuff. So I interviewed him, had him on the show last week. He was a beautiful guy. He was just incredible. And I’m not, like, I’m not sold as he was just a really, really talented dude. And I think there’s a point where you appreciate talent John Mayer, in your case, last week, you know? I mean, that’s cool that that with John Mayer is a different level, and he clearly loves it, right? Like it’s, it’s special for him to be a he could go do his own thing and be John Mayer every day of his life. He decides to do this. He loves it.
Wendy Bronfein 04:22
Yeah. I mean, I think all of them up there, even, you know, there’s, there’s three other musicians, some of which have played for the band for a very long time, and even other incarnations of the band. But they’re, they’re, the musicality was very good. And that’s the sphere that the acoustics in there are incredible. I mean, like, I had seen them at Wrigley Field, I guess it was like, close to four years ago, or maybe four years ago. And you know that last time being outside in a baseball field versus being inside the sphere, it was amazing. But, you know, they just play so effortlessly and relax, and it’s just like, so. Natural and coming out of them. And there were. It was fantastic. I’ve
Nestor Aparicio 05:04
only seen the dead once, but I saw the real grateful dead. I saw him at RFK Stadium with Bob Dylan and Tom Petty on this stinking awful 102 degree day at RFK Stadium in like 1988
Wendy Bronfein 05:17
or 89 a pretty good lineup.
Nestor Aparicio 05:20
I saw the real put the real deal. I saw Jerry, you know, the whole thing, you know. So it was good. Wendy bronfen is here. She’s our chief rock and roll analyst, as well as our chief cannabis officer. So, you know, I guess we’re now a year plus into recreational and where we are and all this stuff, and I’m still trying to understand things I’m and part of having you on the beginning, it’s what’s a sativa? What’s an indigo, what’s Ivor? What’s it this? How do I now? It’s like, I see things like th CV, which we’ve talked about, and understanding can’t cannabinoids, and understanding all the science that goes into the legitimacy, how all this stuff alters how you feel, how you think, how you sleep, how you eat, tincture, something. And I don’t know anything about I have a friend. I did some traveling this summer, a friend who doesn’t inhale, asthmatic, yeah, the gummy thing. Even though you have a faster onset gummy, I don’t think he felt like is in control with where it was going. He might have had a brownie in Jamaica 30 years ago or whatever, but tincture is his thing. He was trying to explain it to me. And I’m like, All right, I’m going to talk to Wendy about this so, and I guess we start at the beginning is this is not like a really heavily people prefer flower. And then maybe gummies, you would say
Wendy Bronfein 06:40
in the top three forms are flower vape and like an edible gummy, like edibles as a gummy, not a different kind of edible, yeah, but tinctures like have been around. I mean, a tincture in general has been around forever, but in the cannabis space, that was definitely one of the first forms that kind of came in and was available as there were sort of legal options, particularly because it sort of has this overly medicinal formula, kind of dosage form to it. And it’s, it’s obviously done in your mouth. You put it under your tongue. That’s part of the
Nestor Aparicio 07:17
literally, a baby dropper, right? Like, literally, yeah, that’s okay. And, and
Wendy Bronfein 07:21
like, to the point of the the absorption that doing that anything inside your mouth, under your tongue, is faster sublingual,
Nestor Aparicio 07:29
I
Wendy Bronfein 07:30
believe it’s called, yeah,
Nestor Aparicio 07:32
I was pre med, you know. I mean, you know, no, I wasn’t. But, yeah,
Wendy Bronfein 07:36
so some people would like put it in and you can hold it there for a little bit, you know, you wouldn’t just, you don’t necessarily, put it in, just swallow it so you can hold it there, get some of that absorption inside your mouth, which will be faster and ultimately, you know, swallow whatever is there. But, you know, the tincture we do is under our GI line, soothe anti nausea. And that was, really, that’s a fast onset, yeah, well, because, right, it’s a relief product, and it’s, and that was sort of similar for somebody who wanted to deal with nausea but did not want to smoke, because the alternative is the vape. You had it in the tincture, but you, you needed fast uptake to to curb the nausea
Nestor Aparicio 08:15
totally. Now, now I’m understanding a little bit better, and I also understand why it’s not a product for everybody, right? Like, it’s just, it’s, it’s very medicinal, sort of in its quality, and it’s, it’s basis of why you want to use
Wendy Bronfein 08:27
it, right, yeah. And I think also, like, it’s depending they’re suspended in different things, so sometimes, like, depending on how they’re produced, like, for example, if they’re, if they’re suspended in alcohol, like, a like, the way, like, an extract would be, they could be, like, really sharp, like, you know, the they have to be produced well, because you could just, it could be very biting in its in its sort of palette, and you and usually probably taste unless it’s kind of flavored, would taste much more earthy than other choices. And I find that sort of, yeah, okay, yeah. I think in the in the adult use space, I think what we’ve seen as a lot of people who are much more interested in things that are like, you know, like, kind of like OTC medicines, like, I want medicine that doesn’t taste like medicine, right? So even with vapes, like in the can’t in the in the medical space, I think everything leaned way more strain specific than flavored in the adult youth space, flavored is, is seems to be very popular. And I think it’s kind of people just don’t want things to necessarily taste cannabis. They just want the effects that they can get.
Nestor Aparicio 09:31
I think the fascinating part is, I go to Ocean City for Mako, and see everybody sort of hammered on the beach and bars and out late at night, and the feeling that they want of carefree, you know, whatever the feeling of alcohol would be, and to anybody in our audience that used it or abused it in whatever way, and driving the porcelain bus in Ocean City on New Year’s Day, which I did a few times in the 90s. Thank you to the late, great Batman, who I will honor. I just, I think I just did honor him. Maybe every time I hear stuck in the middle with you, I think of him. But the notion that a drink a cannabis related drink, and I had, I had Mark Brian Marylander from Hootie and the Blowfish guitar player, great buddy of mine for 30 years, he was promoting a product called high H i and he actually wears his shirt says Hi, and he’s in the space where drinks. So I would say to you, and you own the business, and you’re always trying to figure out where all this is going. It would seem to me, we’re not too far off from that becoming maybe more popular with the right bush in the right way. That I would see that as a real growth sector of people wanting to do what they’re used to, drinking at an event, outside, at a picnic, this or that, but having that be the way, and that’s I guess, in my mind, that’s when I think tincture, as we used to get the orange juice and the concentrate. You know what I mean? Like, I’m thinking about it in those terms, and then I’m also thinking about it in the flavor terms, and everything we try to do with alcohol. I did 15 years of vodka sales around here, doing the cotton candy to the tutti for, you know, like the flavored part of alcohol and drinks and all of that that I would think that we’re just peeling back at the beginning of a business that where the tincture, to me, went to, like a real beverage,
Wendy Bronfein 11:18
yeah. So, I mean, the so like the Dixie Elixirs, which we’ve made for the past seven years, like in in on the medical side, they’re sold in full bottles, and they have a cap, and the cap comes off and there’s a line, and so you can dose them out. So it’s about five, five and a half milligrams per dose in the whole in the bottle. But when we migrated to have adult use, the rules were shifted such that an adult use purchase, if, even if you’re getting a liquid, it can’t, the whole package can’t be 100 milligrams. The whole package has to be capped at the 10 milligram dose. So we, I think it was probably about four weeks ago or so, maybe longer than that? No, maybe, maybe, like, eight weeks ago, we launched the Dixie Elixirs in the single form to be compliant here in Maryland. So those flavors half and half, Berry lemonade, cherry limeade, fruit punch. Those are all drinkable, single serving, single dose. Okay, yeah, and the drinking, the whole bottle is 10 milligrams, but you did kind of just touch on what is a bit of a can of worms in this industry, because the the beverage sector is sort of exploding, but not necessarily in the dispensaries. It’s part of what’s called the intoxicating hemp space. So through the Farm Bill, there is a loophole where operators outside of legal like state based legal cannabis industry, just regular business, are taking the cannabinoids that come off of hemp, that are not psychoactive, and converting them to make them psychoactive. So it turns them into delta nine, which is what delta nine, THC is what everyone thinks of when you get high and then making beverages. Those beverages are then showing up in convenience stores and liquor stores and all these things. And it’s a it’s a big frustration point, because obviously we’re over here, like federally illegal and constrained in a million different ways. And then the stuff that’s just like us is appearing. People can order it online. They can buy it in stores. You know, the alcohol distributors are frustrated, because in their world, they distribute everything to the liquor stores, and then the liquor stores are carrying these.
Nestor Aparicio 13:34
I worked in the alcohol business for years. You’re selling, you know, everything need to be registered because, right, just
Wendy Bronfein 13:39
coming straight through, same thing. I
Nestor Aparicio 13:40
talked to John Martin at the Maryland lottery. You want everything to be on the up and up, you know? I know we’re having an election soon about government. We want too much, you know, at some point, you know, especially in similar industries, where something’s considered black market and something’s considered taxable, and something’s considered, oh, we’re just going to look the other way. Yeah, I have the fellas point business owners on about that a lot too. Patrick Russell and my friends over Coopers. But to your point, um, what your industry so new? The fact that people can skirt on the other side of that’s just kind of that should be eye opening for people. I think, well,
Wendy Bronfein 14:14
it’s, I mean, I do. I’ve spent some time this summer down meeting with, like, House and Senate, ag committees about this, because, you know, we have this unequal treatment under the law issue, and then we have this other issue, which is, like a lot of the sort of like headlines that you hear are coming off of these, what are called, like delta nine, intoxicating hemp products, and different states keep trying to Shut it down. But like, on the other side, we’re here fighting for, like, our legitimacy and our credibility. So, but the layperson doesn’t know the difference between the two products. So if you hear some news story about kids ate these things or drink this stuff and something happened, it’s like, it’s often coming from that it’s not coming from, you know, the controlled market. It inside the state and
Nestor Aparicio 15:00
consider the age barrier. Yeah, just ordered
Wendy Bronfein 15:04
online and have it shipped to you. So, yeah, it’s crazy, yeah. So we, you know, we need that loophole close, or whichever way you want to go about it.
Nestor Aparicio 15:16
Everyone. I learned things all the time, and I, you know, I want to give a shout out for product. It’s been a couple weeks since I’ve talked about this product, but it’s summertime. Product, but it’s summertime, and I’ve been for the friends of Planet Fitness sort of back. I’m getting back in shape because it’s summertime, and my wife’s broken ankle can no longer be my excuse for eating too much pizza John’s, you know, but this move product is something I talk about all the time, and how it works. I’ve been using it a lot because I’ve been a little bit sore and little bit. And, you know, I can’t speak enough, but I, again, I own a radio station. I can’t explain exactly how it all works. Explain this product to me. And I also have the gel as well one more time. And every couple months I bring this up, because I think it is a product that people say, Oh, you have, you know, Wendy on. You’re talking about weed and high and this and that and medicine. And I’m thinking, what? This is a product here that my dad had absorbing Junior I don’t even know it even worked. And Ben gay stunk. Even though it worked, this stuff works sort of secret, because it doesn’t burn, tingle, smell, it’s amazing. And I’m getting a little lighter. I think I bought this around 420 it’s now about 820 almost, and I’ve had it four months. I have. I bought three of them because they were on sale. And I’m from Dundalk and I’m cheap. You know that I know a deal when I find one to Curia. We’ll go through rewards program in a minute too, because I got to go through the app with you. But this thing’s really cool, and I literally keep it right here in my office. I use it. I got an ankle issue and a knee issue. I knee surgery, and it’s a daily product for me. Yeah?
Wendy Bronfein 16:40
Me too, yeah. I have keep it in my nightstand, yeah? So it’s a that one that you were holding up is, like a package roll bomb, yeah? Like a roll on, like, a deodorant. So you can just take off the top and then rub it in and, like, wherever it hurts, it’s
Nestor Aparicio 16:57
a little tacky, but it’s not sticky, and it’s not easy at all.
Wendy Bronfein 17:01
No, you don’t have to, like, really, like, wait to, like, you know, put clothes on, or put your sleeve back down, or anything like that. Yeah. I mean, I know a lot of people like them in there, like, you know, like, a golf bag, a tennis bag, a gym bag, all that kind of pickleball. Yeah, I’ve it’s great. I mean, I also do it proactively, in terms of, like, if I do a workout and I’m like, oh, that’s going to hurt, then I do it right after, and then I find that I’m not a sore the next day, like, particularly when you
Nestor Aparicio 17:30
think about legs before yoga, yeah, but an hour and a half mat, and on the mat, I get a little, I get greasy, I get really hot. I do hot yoga, and, you know, I can feel it when I touch my back, because I have a bad L 304, I’m always trying to rub it in. I I promise you it works, you know. I mean, it’s just that product that you don’t want to be high, you don’t smoke, you don’t, you know, stop by thar and daughter, and when you do. And this is a good chance for me, because I looked on here and there’s no little label on here, because I got it a long time ago, and you have implemented this program that you swore to me that would be easy, and I’m an idiot, and I downloaded the curio app, and it doesn’t work on the app. It just works literally on a QR code, yeah, and you opt into this thing, and I’m gonna read off to everybody, because I’m right on my own phone, lucid ID, and I have it right here on my phone, and I currently can show you how many points I have. I’ve been a good student when I mean, you tried to teach me this couple weeks ago, my friends and wise markets, I couldn’t remember that password to get my hand at Christmas time. So I have, right now, 367 points there. I also have some happy Eddie points because I had Eddie on the show. And also have a caviar because I gave that a tribe based on your recommendation. That’s a high end product. But 367, points, what can I get?
Wendy Bronfein 18:55
So you can so at the beginning of the so from the lowest the highest here, you can get vape batteries. You can get grinders. You can get dog collars, Fanny packs. You can get $25 gift certificates to both the Elkton store and the Timonium store. You can get, like the smell proof storage cases, sweatshirts, yetis, Bluetooth speakers. I’m trying them doing,
Nestor Aparicio 19:19
did I get another I’m a blunt person shirt, because this one I’ve been wearing,
Wendy Bronfein 19:23
yeah, they’re all the they’re all you can get shirts, but it’s all curio it’s done that’s a different brand.
Nestor Aparicio 19:29
I like your shirt, the one with the flag on it,
Wendy Bronfein 19:32
yeah, Maryland,
Nestor Aparicio 19:34
yeah. All right. So what else you got? Any any new products this summer? I just want to give you the floor, because I’m always bringing you a bunch of questions and crazy stuff, and I throw stuff at you. You know, I know you guys are working hard. You’re you’re running a place where flavors change, seasons change, and really the science is what you guys are at trying to figure out the best ways to use the plant. Yeah, we
Wendy Bronfein 19:57
so we got a lot of great flour coming out. Uh, now and into the fall, particularly under our exclusive line. So that’s sort of the creme de la creme in terms of, you know, checking all the boxes, the texture, the smell, the taste, the smoke, and then, you know, that sort of optimal profile in terms of the potency and the and the terpenes present and all of that. So it’s like the whole shebang, lots of good options there. We’ve had some fun strain names out the summer, like smiling dogs was a fun one. How
Nestor Aparicio 20:31
many strains Do you want to have? Is it like? Because there is a point where it’s like, I go into a restaurant and there’s chicken and beef and, you know, and there’s 15 different ways to make Wellington and chicken Madeira. And you sort of know what, okay, that’s got garlic and pepper. Like when I go into a dispensary now and I see all of these names that associate with bananas and garlic and wizards and blissfuls and cherries and like, literally, I there is an overwhelm to it that feels like a Cheesecake Factory. You would admit that, right? Yeah, I want to try a little bit of this. I guess that’s why single joints work. I guess that’s why smaller dosages of anything and say what, what is that strain going to do? And how do I want to utilize it? And you see, energetic, you know, sleep, whatever, whatever the vibe would be. But you guys are always creating new stuff. And it, I It’s interesting, but it confuses me. Well, I
Wendy Bronfein 21:31
think if you’re, if you’re going to use flour or even a vape to a certain extent, like you basically want to identify, it doesn’t really matter which strain you just want to think about, what’s the one or ones that you use, that you really liked, and then look at the label, and it’s much more about those terpenes that showed up and at what strength they are. And then when you’re shopping, kind of like, don’t need to pay attention. I mean, sometimes the names are fun, so it draws you. It’s kind of like perfume, like the bottle attracts you, and then you smell it. So it’s like you you want to just say, Okay, well, I seem to love it. Like, for me, terpinoline is like, that terpene is like a you’re on, you’re focused, you’re doing stuff, you’re energized, you’re happy, you’re up, but you’re clear headed. And like, I love that terpene, so I will always buy terpene lean forward strain. But the other day, I was having this conversation with someone, and when I look through like, my storage case, my locking, smell proof storage case that’s filled with pre rolls, I’m like, going through them, and I’m like, a one trick pony, like, they are all some they’re a bunch of different strains. They’re basically all the same terpene profile, because I’m always looking for, I feel relaxed and I’m in a good mood, like, I’m never buying to get, like, relaxed and heavy and sleep, you know, I’m always buying in sort of, like, that’s my zone. So if you know the like, if you look at the terpene profile of the strains you like best, you just buy other strains that have that, and then you’re always going to get those results that you’re looking for. That might
Nestor Aparicio 23:08
be the best advice you’ve ever given me, like I I’ve never heard that speech. Wendy brown fine is here. She is the chief cannabis officer for us. She’s Chief Brand Officer at curio wellness and foreign daughter. Lots of ways to learn up on the website, lots of great folks and educational ways to stop by say hello now that adult uses is here. And hope you do and really appreciate sponsorship. On the 26th anniversary, I’m gonna get the oyster and the crab up here before it’s all over with. And as we get into really a fun time, right? The baseball team is your kid’s hair still growing? Gunner like that. What’s going on there? Oh,
Wendy Bronfein 23:44
oh, yeah. I feel like I had some story he did recently. Oh, he told us the other night. He his he wants bases. I mean, my backyard is like a postage stamp. He wants, like, bases so that he can whiffle ball. I know, but it’s like, what can you just say that the chairs first? And this is, like, we have to, we’re getting bases,
Nestor Aparicio 24:06
Mom, no, we gotta do it. That’s not the way they that’s not the way gunner Henderson does it. No, it is definitely. Let me tell you a story about my childhood that I’ve never admitted on the air here, because, um, you know, when I was a kid, I was so obsessed with baseball, How old’s your boy? Four? That was 1972 for me, that was bud Harrelson and and Pete Rose fighting and like all that. So I remember, when I was a boy, my I watched my mom vacuum the living room, and I set up bases in our living room. And my living room is as big as this screen in Dundalk. I grew up in a box in Colgate, right? And I had first base, second base, and we had a wall and wiffle ball in the house, in the living room, all right, stundock. It’s a 70s, you know, go with it. But my mom would vacuum, and at one point, I always wanted to help my mom around the house. I just where was I did dishes, I cooked, I did all that stuff. So I learned how to sew when I was a kid because my mom taught me, but I wanted to vacuum, and I insisted on vacuuming the way that the groundskeepers, I’m like, drag the infield and memorial stadium when I was a boy, that’s his true story. They would go in circles all the way around first and third, and they would fill in the middle. Then they would do a figure eight at second base, and I would do the living room. I would vacuum when I was a kid. I
Wendy Bronfein 25:26
can teach him to do that. I am so down.
Nestor Aparicio 25:32
Well, there you go. See if we put bases out now you have to mow the lawn. Don’t have a mow the lawn, and she young for that. That’s how I lost a finger. Uh, Wendy braunfine is here. Uh, she’ll be at the ballpark, and it’s fun, though, right? We got football around the corner summer. It feels like, you know, oh, I
Wendy Bronfein 25:46
took him to training camp.
Nestor Aparicio 25:47
Did you Yeah, meet Lamar?
Wendy Bronfein 25:50
No, he didn’t. He didn’t meet. And it actually he’s two, so the the autograph signing, you have to be like, I think six is the minimum age. And they were not willing, because they said they were, like, the older kids, like the eighth graders, they really kind of pushing stuff. I don’t think it’s a good idea. I was like, alright,
Nestor Aparicio 26:10
and you’d have the little KitKat bar and say you have to be that tall ride, right? Yeah, all right. Well, not to your age. Son, there you go. Wendy Brown, find us here. You can find her. Curia wellness find them a foreign daughter. If you participate, make sure you’re you’re using the QR code to scan for points, because I’ve been doing that. And I’m gonna get something good with my points. Yeah, I’m gonna add them all up. I’m gonna I’m gonna hoard them, and I’m gonna get something good. So I something that’s memorable, like that T shirt you have. I I’ll see in a couple weeks. Good to have you board.
Wendy Bronfein 26:37

We’re starting at Cocos on the fourth and we’re having 26 oysters in 26 days, 26 ways. We’re doing eight crab cake tour stops. We’re going to the Eastern Shore, we’re going to Southern Maryland, we’re going to the bno Museum. We’re doing it all for the oyster recovery partnership. So when you eat these oysters, and you see the special little bag that you put the shells in, gonna be teaching a lot about that, as well as the oxygenation of the bay and why the crabs taste so good this time of year.
