This week, JP sits down with Old Man Dave, one of the true OGs of New York City cannabis culture.

Now in his 80s, Dave has lived a life most people only hear about in stories. From moving weight during the golden era of NYC cannabis to navigating the ups and downs that came with it, Dave has seen it all.

Through multiple chapters of life, relationships, business ventures, and run-ins with the law, Dave remained connected to the culture that helped shape New York.

🎵 With deep ties to the music industry, Dave was a regular around the legendary D&D Studios, rubbing shoulders with icons like DJ Premier and witnessing history firsthand. He even found himself in the studio while Nas was recording Illmatic, one of the most influential hip-hop albums of all time.

💨 In this episode we get into:

Growing up in New York City
The early cannabis scene before legalization
Moving serious weight during the underground era
Celebrity clientele and music industry connections
D&D Studios and witnessing the creation of Illmatic
Lessons learned from a lifetime of wins and losses
Why preserving these stories matters

🧠 This episode is bigger than cannabis. It’s about documenting history before it’s gone. The stories, experiences, and lessons from the generation that helped build the culture deserve to be heard.

This one’s for the OGs.

⸻

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 Old Man Dave!

This week, JP sits down with Glen from Green Dragon, a true pioneer whose journey runs deep through both the music industry and cannabis culture.

Before building a cannabis powerhouse, Glen was producing records like “Love of My Life” by Erykah Badu and “Dance Tonight” by Lucy Pearl — eventually finding himself tapped in with names like Dr. Dre and Raphael Saadiq during his time in LA.

From there, the transition into cannabis came naturally — and over the past 20+ years, Green Dragon has grown into a full-scale operation with dispensaries, cultivation, nursery, and distribution.

💨 In this episode we get into:

Glen’s journey from music production to cannabis
Working around legends like Dr. Dre, Erykah Badu, and many more
Building Green Dragon into a multi-vertical brand
20+ years in the cannabis game
He found Becky/Toad Venom 5 years ago before the hype! 
Real stories, industry drama, and life lessons

👀 Special guest in the building: Jigga, the grower behind Girl Scout Cookies, adding to the energy in the room.

🧠 This one is a wild ride — music, legacy cannabis, psychedelics, and real-life gems all in one.

Episode 182 of the Good PizzZa Podcast, we sit down with Nat and Benjamin from Humboldt Seed Company — one of the most respected cannabis seed companies in the world.

But before Humboldt Seed Co. became a global name in cannabis genetics… both of these guys were just figuring life out.

Benjamin actually wound up in California almost by accident after spending nearly 10 years riding trains across America — exploring life, traveling the country, and living outside the norm.

Nat’s journey west looked completely different.

He was heading toward California with his girlfriend at the time… until she dumped him on the way. Suddenly, he found himself at a crossroads — either go back home to the East Coast or keep pushing west.

Thankfully… he kept going.

Eventually, these two crossed paths living in a commune in Humboldt County, California — and the rest is history.

Founded by Nathaniel Pennington in 2001, Humboldt Seed Company became known for building strong, reliable cannabis genetics while helping push the science and art of breeding forward.

Benjamin has also played a major role in helping expand Humboldt Seed Co. internationally — building relationships and helping bring their genetics across the world through partnerships, exports, research, and global cannabis networking. His work has helped push Humboldt Seed Co. far beyond California into places like Europe, South America, Jamaica, and other emerging markets.

They’re also doing some really cool stuff outside of Cannabis. They’re creating seeds and collecting genetics from all over the world of actual vegetables and herbs that you can cook with outside of just the cannabis seeds that they’re known for. 

In this episode we get into:

🔥 The wild journeys that brought them to Humboldt
🔥 Riding trains across America for a decade
🔥 Living in communes in Northern California
🔥 Building Humboldt Seed Co. from the ground up
🔥 Massive pheno hunts and selecting keepers
🔥 Breeding stable genetics for growers worldwide
🔥 International cannabis expansion and global seed markets

This episode is about adventure, genetics, risk-taking, and how two people from completely different paths wound up helping shape modern cannabis breeding.

Real Humboldt story. Real genetics. No Cuts. Real culture.

Episode 179 of the Good PizzZa Podcast, we sit down with real cannabis OGs — Terrance aka Payaso Grow and his brother Phillip.

These two come from a different era.

Growing up in Los Angeles in the 70s and 80s, they lived through one of the wildest times in the city’s history — gang violence at an all-time high, the crack era hitting the streets, and survival being part of everyday life.

Their come-up was no joke.

But through all of that, cannabis found its way into their lives — and it became something more than just a hustle.

Over time, they built deep roots in the OG LA cannabis scene, especially when it comes to classic OG strains and genetics. This is real lineage, real history, and real respect earned over decades.

Now they’re still active and evolving:

🔥 Working on breeding projects
🔥 Dropping seeds and preserving genetics
🔥 Building their name globally
🔥 Tapped into markets in Australia, Spain, and beyond

These fellas been doing this!

In this episode we get into:

🔥 crazy times in LA during the 70s and 80s…
🔥 How cannabis became part of their path
🔥 The early OG scene and building their name
🔥 Breeding, seeds, and preserving real genetics
🔥 Expanding their presence worldwide

This one’s about legacy, survival, and putting in real time in the game.

If you respect OG cannabis history and the people who built the culture, this episode is a must.

Episode 178 of the Good PizzZa Podcast, we tap in with Ceasar from N.Y.Ceeds — a Brooklyn native who took his passion for cannabis and turned it into a real lane in breeding and seed selection.

Ceasar grew up in New York’s cannabis scene, but like a lot of people looking to level up, he made the move out to Colorado to really sharpen his skills.

That’s where everything changed.

Out there, he learned the real value of:
🔥 Breeding cannabis properly
🔥 Selecting quality genetics
🔥 Understanding seeds on a deeper level
🔥 The business behind cannabis and seed culture

After gaining that experience, he brought everything back home to New York and started building his own lane — working on breeding projects and quickly becoming a trusted source for high-quality seeds and genetics.

We first connected at Ego Clash a few years back, and ever since, it’s been nothing but love — he always comes through with seeds and keeps it solid.

In this episode we talk:

🔥 New York cannabis culture
🔥 Moving to Colorado to level up
🔥 The art of breeding and selecting genetics
🔥 Building a name in the seed game
🔥 Why good genetics matter more than hype

This is a dope look into how a New Yorker carved out his place in the breeding world and brought that knowledge back to the city.

In Episode 177 of the Good PizzZa Podcast, we sit down with Hightower & Mrs. Greenthumb — a real cannabis power couple building everything from the ground up.

From meeting in college in Georgia to making the move out to Grass Valley, California, their journey has been anything but easy. Early on, they found themselves living next to a cult (yeah… real story), that was a good one! They stayed locked in, popped off a few different spots until they landed at their current location where they’re absolutely crushing! They stayed focused on their vision.

No shortcuts. No gimmicks. Just hard work, dedication, and love for the plant.

They built their name through:

🔥 Organic cultivation
🔥 Putting in the work day after day
🔥 Winning hash awards overseas
🔥 Growing their brand the right way

And what really stands out is their partnership.

Mrs. Greenthumb represents the strength and work ethic of women in cannabis — hands-on, in the garden, getting it done. And Hightower is right there beside her. Real teamwork. Real foundation.

This episode is about building something real, staying disciplined, and trusting the process.

Episode 175 of the Good PizzZa Podcast, we tap in with B Gunz — rapper, content creator, and host of the Green Rush Nation podcast.

B grew up between Flushing, Queens and Long Island, New York, where his love for music started early. He’s been grinding in the rap game for years, but everything changed when he made the move out to California.

Once he got out west, he saw the opportunity, felt the energy, and decided to take a real leap — starting his life over and going all-in on his music and content journey.

Before locking in with Green Rush Nation, B was running a mobile podcast setup service, pulling up anywhere and helping people create their own podcasts on the spot. Real hustle.

Then one moment changed everything.

He linked with the Green Rush Nation crew through a stash & dash, set up a podcast for them… and the rest was history. From there, he became the host and has been building with the team ever since.

We also talk about:
🔥 His early days in New York
🔥 Moving to California and betting on himself
🔥 Building Green Rush Nation
🔥 Doing freestyle battles for streamers like Kai Cenat and Neon
🔥 Staying consistent and keeping the right energy

B Gunz is one of those dudes who just keeps working. No shortcuts, no excuses — just showing up and making things happen.

This one’s about taking risks, staying hungry, and building your lane wherever you land.
