That dude who gave him the music equipment was the piece of the puzzle to his greatness.
🧩
Modeling my own strain after this mans approach. When most of the public didn’t know about Berner I was watching and studying him on wiz khalifas day to days. I have Been applying to dispensaries since I was 17. I’m 27 now and only have gotten to work in a CBD shop which is pretty pathetic but I’ve gotten to review and enjoy over 100 strains on my personal channel. This upcoming year My strain (AandE) will hopefully come to healthy fruition. God bless you all!
I hope she outgrows your expectations and you have an abundance of amazing flower off her
Dispensaries ain’t fw the real I’m 29 been in love with weed since b4 I started smoking at 14 I filled out over 25 apps & ain’t got no response back smh. I got Hs diploma and hvac certification and a legit knowledge and genuine love for the plant not just getting high how tf I don’t meet the requirements for a bud tender or trimmer or custodian anything entry level. Us real ppl who haven’t ran a bag up off the black market, or were raised by growers or went to college and know ppl who work or own these companies that in the industry your SOL if u can’t grow in your state which we can’t do here in Maryland smh
What state are you in?

Time stamp?? Have some respect and watch the whole interview
Bro Kev please have Berner on here more often you are the only interviewer I’ve seen that he opened up to. Can’t wait 4 more years bro :( btw you asked him great questions
Premium Pete has a really good one too, check that out
@@leskoluciano1955 I seen all of them lol including that one I wish Berner did more interviews. Thank though man
No doubt he gives hella game
Uncle burn got a podcast go check it out
@@dthaboi9177 bruh what. No he don’t stop cappin
Berner's been on his grind, gotta respect the hustle
Yep so who made colins av and can you get it anywhere. Isnt it ethos strain
@@the__grow__life8211 his fans don’t even know Colin or Ethos 🤣. They not really into Cannabis Advocacy and growing like that. They getting finessed by a hustler who poses as a cannabis Guru, but none of the real growers he steals/stole his genetics from associate with him. His fans couldn’t grow quality if they were given the best genetics and auto water feeding systems. They don’t know shit about the plant
@valerie At such honesty can be self incriminating
@valerie At rule number one of growing 🤐
Dayumm CLTV is everywhere!! Dont you ever sleep Rob?🤣💯
55 Million Dollars this year with Cookies apparel alone! 📈
INSPIRATION
facts that shit is fire he could retire just off clothing
Fax yes but that’s revenue.
If he really had a $1 billion deal he would’ve took it. Pretty sure 100% of people would take that
@@Easymadeit Yessir! 55 million in revenue on apparel with an average mark up of around 60%. 💰 I’d guess around 15-20% of that is pure profit.
I used to respect Berner so much for the cookies empire but how he is raising his daughter is making me feel he is next level.
Bern is a real one. Deserves all the blessings he’s seeing. And many more
You should have bern over again to talk about Aliens and shit. Bern always get me thinking and trippin😂
Straight up finish off whay they was talking from #Hotboxing
They should start a conspiracy podcast✊🏼😂Big Berns Counter Culture Conspiracy Channel on weed😦
Yep!
When kev said the shit about the ocean that shit got me shook
So much respect for big Berner. Dude really is a just genuine dude. Got that right mentality.
Drugstore Cowboy 2013 ever since then been a fan. To be real, after listening and smoking hard to Wiz, I couldn’t help but look for music from Berner. Underrated is an understatement for Berner✌🏼
I met Berner years ago when he was first setting up Cookies and he stopped what he was doing just to talk to us for a while. He hasn’t changed at all and is so dope that he is doing so well. I wish him nothing but more success and happiness in his life and his family.
Really loved this interview with Bern.....he keeps its 100 and showed a personal side of him you don't always see..legend.. ..🐐
I just started working at Cookies in Vegas and I fucking love it
Do you getta employees discount?
Fuckin Dream job bro
@@jeffersonmouss Yea if ur dream is to make $13 hour ur whole life and be poor
@@ppg4667 if you’re a bot absolutely
Berner seems like a great parent and he really thinks this shit through for his kids future. Mad respect for that.
Bern is a ICON in the weed game. He was a Genius because he did it early and learned everything from ground up, and had his loyal friends stuck with him. Amazing story. Great for him n his family!!! He made it Billionaire... n going.. Great story , def need to write a book with a documentary. I know bern brought Kev a few ounces of all diff shit, and 🍪 merch!! Great Interview.
Kev u becoming a beast wit the interviews just having some dope ass conversations
Best in grow game, definitely one of the the people I look up to and follow in the cannabis business. Changed the layout and landscape for sure. 100% respect.
not the best in the grow game berner barely even grows , he has master growers on his team tho for sure. problem is, a lot of these cali dudes started using PGRs and Eagle20 to keep away mold because mold is a huge problem in many areas no matter where or what you grow. Those things are highly toxic and they end up in the finished product- thats what makes buds look like a solid golf ball with spider webs between the cracks n shit lol like unnaturally solid... We need to show more love for the hippies in the hills who grow organic and dont put poison on their shit just to make some extra money...
Berner aint do shit all he is marketing, trash music, trash weed. Overpriced hype
He is just the face and he knows a fair bit about growing but he leaves that for the professionals. He is an idea man who looks for investors. I think he is really trying hard to not make cookies the "wal-mart" of cannabis or at least him and his team make it seem that way by leaving the growing to established growers. Honestly being a good gardener is being able to control an environment and adapt. At the end of the day it all relies on the genetic potential of the plant.
@@garrettprosser7336 if people gotta use chemicals to grow though, they shouldn't be growing. That's what has ruined our farming industry in tons of places. We should only support people growing natural healthy plants. Sometimes u gotta pay more for that stuff tho n everyone wants champagne on a budlight budget
@@cmontoya1234 exactly, but this dude is probably a child commenter so he is more easily to follow trends. If you knew who posted the comment above you probably would understand why he thinks Berner is King in the Marijuana Industry
I feel like there aren’t enough berner mozzy and Philthy rich interviews
You do realize that some of these guys pay to interview someone, maybe he don’t want to big spend or just don’t have it who knows, but I agree.
Berner mozzy & Philthy r not charging for interviews
@@bigpoppa1689 not saying it doesnt happen. Butdamn if they gotta pay for a interview, i dont even wanna hear your trash ass product lol
berner is a fucking business/marketing genius IMO hes also way underrated as a rapper, always has fire beats Ive been listening to his shit for years
Him getting good producers to make good beats doesn’t equate to him being a good rapper
@@boomah47 No but it makes him a smart rapper
His production and his flow have both grown and meshed perfectly.... production always on point always sets a real vibe
@@MyKeeP81 its a part of the equation for sure, knowing who's gonna sound good on what is def part of being a good artist and it is him after all thats pickin the beats even if its not him makin them
Having a federal informant as a majority stakeholder in your company helps
Berner is a living legend,built multiple lucrative business outside of music.
Wiz must be really proud of big Bern! That's an amazing relationship. He gave berner the hand up, he needed.
berner is such an interesting dude, big respect. don't know much about his music, but i really appreciate the way he moves around the game, & handle his business.
Furreal this is a gem 💎. We need more of Bern, nothing but game and good vibes from bro. Easily one of my favorite people to listen to music or discussion.
THE P L U G, Berner supplied ya favorite rappers with a pack
I wish I was one of them rappers
Only wiz and curren$y
@@bluntsessions3577 peewee longway, etc
Sold souls. Shitty music creators* hypnosis
Dolph too
This instantly made me need to go listen to "Come on"
Berner motivates for the grind.
My favorite. Song of his if i had to choose one, coming home with the load music for sure 👌
Crazy you can’t even tell homies body is fighting an inside war. Love this man he’s been a huge inspiration to me and my boys
How that yoko video came about is wild, probably one of the best berner interviews I seen, definitely need to bring back berners round table
BERNER needs to be a class taught in business schools everywhere
YES
RESPECT to this Young Man for Keeping his Goals & Accomplishments Up & Achieving Greatness after his Mother's Passing. Losing your Mother, especially if your Close to her, must be one of the Most devastating moments of a Person's Life. I've seen Friends go down a Dark path bc they can't cope w/the Loss... But @ the same time I've seen other Friends use it for Fuel & Motivation & accomplish their Dreams & more in their Mother's name... Peace & Blessings to all those here & to all families & Real friends who show Real Love & Loyalty.
Solid interview. Possibly Berners best conversation
This interview is sick af 😆😆 I love it. Respect to Berner.
Berner is a living legend frfr. Changed the game forever 💯🙌🏼
So much respect for Berner. I can tell he's been working hard af. Dude need some rest for real..this grind just don't let up so I totally understand.
I listen to Berner’s music all the time. That Styles P album is 🔥
no one talks about it but that's my favorite album he put out vibes Turkey bag all high quality tracks Styles is top 5 and berner is a legend too
@@danlamontagne1957 straight facts I tell everyone about Berns music
The warning album my favorite ones are EL CHIVO,RUSS BUFFALINO,URBAN farmer,Los meros,la plaza ,Manchester,11/11,PHENO GRIGIO RESPECT THE CONNECT ,AND THE NEW ONE PAULIE CICERO BERNER GRT BETTER EVERY YEAR PERIOD
The White Album is my favorite Bern album
@@orlandomorris6628 “I’m the boss you should probably find a different role. We eat good while the rest look miserable. 2021 it’s all about residuals. Paul Cicero” 🔥 🔥
I swear Berner is the DJ Khaled of the weed world 👌🏼 tell me I’m wrong!! 😂
If you don’t know drought season 1 you ain’t no bern fan trust me RIP JACK FA EVA
That’s a whole fact bro RIP The J.A.C.K.A!!!
Track Money & Pack Money 🔥 Still think Drugstore Cowboy is my favorite tho💨💨
Aren’t you special 🤣
First heard of him from “weekend at bernies”
@@kopking07 dude wants an award or some shit lol
Dam there’s so much game here. Bouta do multiple analysis videos on this. Tap in if your interested in the cannabis industry. I did the mini documentary: Berner & The Cookies Cannabis Empire
Big shouts out to Berner. Great interview Kev. One of the best interviews you’ve done for sure for sure. 🙌
How can I tap in bro
Me
LMC what’s up 💪🏾
This guy is the real goat out there. I lost my mom's in 2010 Thanksgiving day 7:10am
favorite interview I've listened to in years, hands down. awesome to hear stories of real success - really inspiring - plus you were asking great questions and speaking well, Kev. too good!
I really respect Uncle Bern. First heard of him back around 2010 or so. His hustle is motivating.
Dont he didnt do shit, all he is a face for a brand
He created cookiessf, do your research bud.
@@tylerjames0229 lmao you wish his partner bought the cookies strain back in 09. They kept running back to the booth. All they did was market "cookies" they didn't come up with any strain. Think I'm lying ask them. Where it originated from.
@@cmontoya1234 from what I know he’s listed as the founder and CEO a of the cannabis and clothing brands. I know he worked with Jai Chang to create GSC. I can’t really ask them personally as I don’t know these ppl…
Let’s all pray 🙏🏼 for Big Bern and his family as he fights his battle with cancer! #fuckcancer
The more berner actually comes out it shows who he really is. Berner aine ever change
@4:22 Berber spitting facts, it’s all about the way you moving and your level of being aware.
To me Berner is like a legend alll around. Music, and business.
Big Bern 🔥💯🥇🇲🇽💰💰💰
Shoutout Kev for the dope convo, knows how to keep the convo interesting and moving along 👌🏽💯
I dont fuck with corporate cannabis, I rather support them hippies in the hills growing ORGANIC bud which is RARE these days. Fire organic bud is like finding a rare gemstone nowadays. So I support that when it comes to cannabis. but I love berners music its always had great vibes to it
Same. Don’t necessarily love the Idea of big cannabis or the corporate structure but I just love the plant enough I wish I could be out doing it like the people in humboldt were before legalization or when medical first started. And not almost get shot like Berner. I just want to learn from the best is all and pass the knowledge down without screwing anybody /taking anyone’s money
I’m from Cali, corporate tree is fishy. Ever since rec legal in 18 it ain’t the same
@@wazzupidaug5 it's toxic literally. Sprayed with so much bs. Then they bribe the testers to give it a clean test result. I know people that worked at the labs and got bribes. It's all dirty now. So I go out of my way to support the organic growers
Hell yeah bro real medicine, and fu** that sativa crap!
@@solarpanel8195 when you talkin sprayed I take it you referring to delta 8 and just hemp in general with random Cannabinoid distillate and shit sprayed on?
Berner's mentality is above most....#Respect
Never really rocked wit Berner music like that but this interview was inspiring as hell
Berner the realest in the game there’s nothing bad anyone can say about him he’s always been real , Italian bossman 💯💯
Berner is Hispanic not Italian ✌️
@@cl4417 he’s Mexican Italian look it up clown
Berner got his Game from the BAY he blacc 🤣
@@Daddydrinks650 lol why you so aggressive go smoke some weed n chill
@@Daddydrinks650 so then he a Mexican Italian bossman
One of my fave rappers and someone I def look up to. Always been a “cannasuer” but after listening to Berber and watching his interviews he’s inspired me more than ever to do research want to grow and get in the industry one day. So far I’ve only gotten as far as to doing reviews for products on my channel for discounts and sometimes free stuff and making edibles for family and friends. Lol 😂 but keep on grinding Berner I’m
Right there with ya ! One love !!
First time watching most def gonna be tuned in 🔥 💯
This mans beat selection is amazing and he’s brilliant story teller.
Larry June be cranking out tapes like crazy too
Dude cold af. Thst collab with curren$y fire!
Berner is a real one for sure. Chasing the bag in every direction. While having a love for what he's doing.
Kev your turning into one of the best interviewers to do this shit man
Great interview! You asked the question I always wanted to know the answer too. How was it working with Nipsey (LLNH) in wax room 🙏🏽💙
Lol I was just looking up berner roundtable to see what he posted lately 24 hrs later he on bootleg kev ✊
Shout out to This man right here Burner a true testiment to the Bay Area Grind mentality. so inspirational
The ocean is a spooky place. We know more about space than the ocean that really says a lot.
I believe they say that to knock our interest in what’s really in the water . The average person can’t just build a spaceship and explore the heavens so we have to listen to what they tell us but…. everyone is CLOSE to the water and it’s like “ oh well we can’t go that deep nothing to see here “ yeaaaaaa alright lol
When he said that shit I was like oh 👀
When he said the average person would kill themselves if they knew what was really in the water
Mike Tyson quote.. sucker
Berner is the real goat for the “culture”
Berner x Nipsey - Wax room one of my favorite songs by Big Bern 💯
We Appreciate You 💯 From Philly with Love!!! Thank You 💯

“My hair was slicked back, I was skinny.. it was incredible”! lol
Big fucking respect from me out in NY for Berner I don’t really pay attention to his life but he’s a good dude gotta follow now bring cookies to Long Island !!!!! I’ll be a cultivator and bring that li vibe !!
You def won't be a cultivator lmao
@@lordperezident 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣☠
@@deeznuttz9947 whats so funny lol
@@lordperezident your reply about him not being a cultivator , thought it would have been pretty obvious 🤣🤣🤦♂️
Berber definitely doing the right thing.
If you getting bootlegged means that your brand is fire.
"Get that boy a cup of coffee man" 😅
Drought season w always be Berners dopest collab album..yeee
East bay510 all day💪🏽
RIP•JA 🐐
With my short attention span, I watch this interview from start to finish.
What's your point lol
“You want to get to the bag , get a wife “ 💯 🔥
Such a under rated artist I don’t know anyone who listens to all his music like me !
Too much
No? We should kicc it then.
It's cuz he talks about all the same in all his songs lol its basic af. His beat selection is weak. I don't kick it with anyone who says Berner is in there top favorite rapper. There's so many other artists that are ridiculously talented and actually talk about legit things in there songs
@@Since_84 real simp hours lmao go somewhere else like tinder haha
@@lordperezident he does talk real. Everything he says I feel it bc I genuinely have been or I do , do that shit
This damn near the best interview I’ve watched
W interview
Never watch podcasts, but this was perfect. Thank you.
designer cookies line would be crazy flips 🤯
@Bootleg Kev fam....nearly 3 times over watching this shit. Amazing interview, heavily underrated game in this interview. 🙏🏽🤙🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽💹
When Bern said "I'm a sick fuck Kev I like 2 be hands on with everything bro" I felt that shit cuhhhh
Berner a real one built different! I look up to you bro, all love
Best weed in the fuckin world NO CAP I'm from the Bay Area we been smoking on ZAZA for years 💪🏾💪🏾💯💯🔥🔥
It ain’t better than Kush..theres nothing better than smoking that SoCal OG
Damn I remember just getting into high school and Berner starting to pop off with all those wild videos dropping, especially the stoner girls gone wild video series like they were talking about lol and Cookies starting to get known within the stoner community around the same time him, Chevy Woods, Curren$y & Wiz and others were all dropping such dope music to smoke and chill to at the time. So many good memories listening to that shit all through high school and college.
I honestly can’t even name all the crazy music Berner alone was dropping from like 2009-2016 or 17 while I was in high school and college and still consistently up until right now, mfrs catalogue of music is honestly insane 😅
Berner is iconic af! 🐐💪 sucks knowin that he’s recently been diagnosed w cancer. #FUCKCANCER 😔
Dam!!!!! BERN is so motivational to watch talk! He’s a G! Mad respect for him!
Praying for the homie
Berner is the man to get this boy out of the street shit ! Much respect and love brother love all y’all
berner needs to get on JRE
Yo watching this for the first time and I just DIED at "access is denied right now"
Some of his stores do a million plus per day in sales, I can see why he turned that down. Thinking long-term. But a billion dollars will change your whole bloodlines future for generations
Even tho true and its still early, there 0 need to be greedy and to "work" at that level. Take the money and fuck off/start something new. That's the goal.
This was awesome!! Been following Big Bern for a longgggg time. It was awesome to hear the few stories he shared.
Shits crazy you could tell Berners mind was a bit distant especially when talking about the future cookies and strain planning for 100 years. He already knew about the cancer but wasn't ready or was undecided about telling the world. I wish the best for him Ive been following him for 11 years now
This man inspires me . Salute you big bern ! Ima pray for you that you overcome this battle!
Its just so bad that this man will only get he's flowers after hes gone 😔
Best Berber songs form preference is his colabs with the jacks honestly the dopest shit ever
I been fucc'n Bern, but him and The Jack had some of the best albums ever made.
RIP Jack aka Shaheed Akbar
MIP The Jacka
Bro I had the same vision, I'm jus starting now hopefully in the next couple years I be my own boss too mad props to Berner he a real 1. Mad respect, this man a hustler
BIG BERN🍪🌬💨
Boi that knock on wood gave me chills. If the tree Spirits don't guard us idfk what does
Damn, did he know he had cancer during this interview?lIf it was done within the last 3 weeks he would have known for sure. And it was uploaded to RUclips only two weeks ago. I think he did - he actually drops a hint at some mentioning how you have to enjoy every minute of life because it’s short and “cancer” or something else can end it.

Fukn Berner Proud of You 👏🏽
He just needs an artist to make an NFT, it’s like making an album cover that is worth millions in bc it’ll be from a biggest whale in the the industry!
