Around The Loop Podcast

In this heartfelt episode of Around The Loop Podcast, I sit down with Oscar Lopez — athlete, coach, and mentor who has turned his struggles into strength. Growing up in the special-needs department, Oscar faced constant bullying and challenges that could have broken him. Instead, with the support of his uncle, he discovered Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling at the age of 12.

From those early days on the mat to becoming ranked 9th on the West Coast, Oscar’s journey hasn’t been easy — but it’s shaped the coach and man he is today. Now, at 21, he’s a dedicated head coach for San Marcos Wrestling and Mission Grappling Club, giving back to the community that raised him. His mission is to support kids in the special-needs department, making sure they get the care, attention, and opportunities they deserve, both on and off the mat.

This episode dives deep into Oscar’s personal growth, his commitment to teaching, and how he’s using his platform to inspire the next generation. A true story of resilience, mentorship, and the power of giving back.

On this episode, I will discuss and catch you guys up with events that I partake projects. I have done and catch you guys up with the latest and greatest for this podcast.

On this episode of Around The Loop Podcast, I sit down with Terp Koozie, a true pioneer in the cannabis world with over two decades of experience. From studying veterinary medicine at Purdue to walking away and creating Culture Closet in the early 2000s, Greg has been shaping the culture from the ground up.

We dive into his 21+ years in the cannabis industry, his friendship with Rob Van Dam, and his massive collection of custom glass pieces for the Puffco Peak and Pro. Greg also shares exciting news about the upcoming release of the Terp Koozie XL, dropping later this month — and my mission is to bring it to San Diego to revolutionize the hash and rosin field.

This is more than a story about cannabis — it’s about passion, innovation, and leaving a lasting impact on the culture.

Beanz opens up about early influences from his father’s studio, shares his R&B favorites from Usher to Charlie Wilson, and talks about why he limits rap listening when it’s time to create. He also drops behind-the-scenes details about the now-famous “Los Angeles” incident, breaking down how it became both a viral moment and a masterclass in comedic timing and marketing.
