Episode 139: “Space Gems – Solventless Magic with Wendy Baker”

Wendy Baker, founder of Space Gems, joins JP to share the story behind one of California’s most iconic solventless edible brands. From a late-night Phish concert epiphany to crafting award-winning, vegan, ice water hash gummies, Wendy built Space Gems on pure passion for the plant.

We dive into:
    •    How Space Gems became a Humboldt legacy edible brand
    •    Why ice water hash makes the cleanest, most flavorful gummies
    •    The comeback of her cult-favorite Mind Expanding Space Belts
    •    Sustainability, conscious cannabis culture, and keeping edibles authentic

This is a conversation about craft, culture, and the edible revolution — a must-listen for fans of premium solventless edibles, Humboldt cannabis heritage, and anyone curious what makes Space Gems stand out in a flooded gummy market.

Tap in with JP and Wendy Baker — experience the magic of Space Gems, where every bite takes you higher.

Y’all know what time it is… Roll em fat, torch your rigs, pack your bongs, bag up some work, water your plants, do what you gotta do because we’re about to take this journey with Wendy from Space Gems!

🎙️ Episode 138: Sacramento Soul — feat. Beto 916

In this powerful episode, JP links up with one of Sacramento’s own and  respected cannabis figures — Beto 916. A true pillar of the scene, Beto has been living and breathing cannabis for over 30 years, using it since the age of 8 to cope with trauma and help him sleep. What started as healing turned into purpose — and Beto has been holding it down for SacTown ever since.

As a major factor at both  Zen Garden Wellness North and South, Beto plays a crucial role in keeping the shelves filled with quality brands — and in helping traditional, culture-driven operators transition into the legal game. Whether it’s supporting artists, repping his city, or just showing love in the community, Beto embodies what it means to do it for the culture.

🌱 In this episode:
    •    How cannabis helped Beto through childhood trauma
    •    What 30+ years in the Sacramento cannabis scene has taught him
    •    Working with brands, artists, and the Zen Garden family
    •    The behind-the-scenes of shelf curation & retail relationships
    •    Why authenticity still matters in California’s rec market
    •    Wisdom from a real one on life, legacy, and loyalty

Y’all know what time it is… Roll em fat, torch your rigs, pack your bongs, bag up some work, water your plants, do what you gotta do because we’re about to take this journey with Beto 916!

🎙️ Episode 138: For the Culture. From the Culture.
feat. Shea Ryan – Network Show Founder

What’s Good Famiglia?! This week, JP locks in with Shea Ryan, a true SoCal staple out of Orange County who’s been immersed in the cannabis game since the early OG Kush wave. Shea shares his personal journey from the legacy days to launching one of the industry’s most respected licensed networking events — The Network Show.

In a dope moment of live history, Shea actually gets Sherpa — the guy who found Triangle Kush (TK) from a bag of seeded bud — on the phone mid-episode to share the origin story himself. This is real cannabis lore direct from the source.

Shea and his partner Nam built The Network Show as a focused, product-first space where licensed cannabis brands connect directly with dispensary buyers. No hardware, no distractions — just legit face time between the folks making the product and the ones putting it on the shelves.

💥 In this episode:
    •    🌱 The OG Kush era in SoCal & Shea’s personal connection to TK
    •    📞 A live call with Sherpa about the true Triangle Kush story
    •    🧠 How The Network Show came to life — and why it works
    •    🔄 The importance of face-to-face connection in today’s legal market
    •    📆 Don’t miss the next Network Show: Sept 17–18
    •    💯 Staying culture-forward while building a real cannabis business

If you’re a brand, a buyer, or just someone who respects the roots of the plant — this one’s essential.

Y’all know what time it is… Roll em fat, torch your rigs, pack your bongs, bag up some work, water your plants, do what you gotta do because we’re about to take this journey with Marijuantauk!

Episode 134: Ember Valley

What’s Good Famiglia?! Happy Father’s Day to all the poppas out there holdin it down! Happy Plug day to all the Plugs out there handling their biz! Make sure you get your favorite plug a little something nice! Do the right thing cugine! This week we have the homie Rob from Ember Valley in the house. Rob’s been in the game a long time. He got his start down in San Diego, smoking weed with his friends at a young age and building a connection to the plant early on. College brought its own set of challenges—he spent those years on probation—but it didn’t knock him off course. After school, he moved up to Redding with his partner and started growing cannabis indoors. That’s where things really took off.

Since 2017, Rob’s been leading the charge at Ember Valley, one of California’s most respected cannabis brands. Known for high-quality flower, Ember Valley has built a reputation that speaks for itself—and Rob’s been at the center of it the whole way.

During his journey , he’s faced some serious health battles, including a long fight with lupus. He turned to stem cell therapy, did the work, and made a full recovery. Now he’s back in the garden, fully active, and more focused than ever.

This episode is about resilience, legacy, and staying true to the plant through it all. Big respect to Rob for his contributions to the game!

Y’all know what time it is… Roll em fat, torch your rigs, pack your bongs, bag up some work, water your plants, do what you gotta do because we’re about to take this journey with The Ghost of Ember Valley!

Episode 130: Baked Bodega

What’s really Good Famiglia?! I’m writing this fresh off Hashhole Island and I think I’m still stoned… lol… Good times, good vibes, and Good PizzZa! Shout out to everyone that came by the booth and supported us. Much love Homies! Also, shout out to MJ for rolling us a fat Sicilian Slice Doink! That thing was a beast! This week, we have a very special guest, none other than Baked Bodega! Me and Bodega been plotting this episode for some months now. We felt it was only right to capture the essence of Washington Heights nowhere else but his stoop on 187 and Audubon, 14 blocks from my old Haze spot on 173 (Red Door). We couldn’t have asked for a better day in the city. It was so hot, I had to shoot the episode in my guinea tee! We had the homie Yoshi on the grill whippin plates for the block, the good smoke was in the air, and the block was poppin! Me and Bodega chopped it up about life, death, the game, NYC, and what’s next for the Baked Bodega crew! This was a one to a kind episode Foreal and because I love yall, I’m gonna let you in a little secret. We literally almost lost this episode! If Ruben didn’t send me the one angle rough copy to pull clips from what you’re watching right now, you guys would’ve never even seen this episode. Unfortunately, we lost a hard drive that had a lot of media on it and it cooked the two other angles. So I hope you guys enjoy this episode with one angle. It was a day in the life in Washington Heights on a sunny spring day. I don’t get much better than that! The only thing missing was that early 2000’s block work Piff! I think it’s only right that we honor his late brother Dylan with this podcast! Put something in the air for the bro! Y’all know what time it is… Roll em fat, torch your rigs, pack your bongs, bag up some work, water your plants, do what you gotta do because we’re about to head up to 187 and Audubon and burn one with the homie Baked Bodega!
