Before stepping into Round 4 of the Alpine v. Telluride saga, Emerson and Mike riff on the week’s madness: San Francisco self-driving cars, gentrification on fast-forward, the Grateful Dead’s 60th anniversary, and what it feels like when a robot Uber makes you feel safer than a human one.

Then — the wall comes down. Rescheduling marijuana is suddenly back on the White House radar, cannabis stocks surge, and the infamous 280E tax code sits in the crosshairs. Meanwhile in Telluride, Alpine Wellness makes a shocking move: surrendering its license under protest to keep the case alive. And in a 4th wall break, Mike reveals it’s not just any case — it’s his.

This episode unpacks the lobbyists, the loopholes, and the local government overreach that pushed Alpine to the edge. It’s rights, retaliation, and rescheduling colliding in real time. 🎧 When the storytellers become the story — tune in.

Before diving into Round 3 of the Alpine v. Telluride saga, Mike and Emerson take you down the rabbit hole of this week’s madness: a Coldplay kiss-cam scandal, Epstein file hypocrisy, ICE’s hidden army, Metrc’s dirty secret, and where the hell $75 billion in ICE funding is really going.

Then — back to business. Fires rage across Colorado, a team member is airlifted to the ICU, and Alpine Wellness is handed a 3-day deadline to produce IRS documents… after months of municipal silence. This episode breaks it all down: the procedural failure, the emergency, the response — and the filing that came in ten minutes before the buzzer.

🎧 It's court drama meets cultural chaos. Tune in.

🎙️ EPISODE 1 –

“The Question” | Break the Cypher In our debut episode, we break down the battle between Alpine Wellness and the Town of Telluride — a local licensing showdown with national consequences. Why is a Colorado cannabis business being threatened over a question that doesn’t exist in the law?

Why is Telluride demanding answers about “federal tax default” when even the state doesn’t require it? And what happens when following the law puts you in legal jeopardy? This isn’t just a cannabis story. It’s a constitutional one.

From threatened shutdowns to rogue Lawyers and an ignored, disappearing motion, we track the escalation that brought Alpine to the brink — and why the May 29 hearing may be a turning point for cannabis justice in America.
