Grateful Nerd Collective

Welcome back to The Crew — the laid-back roundtable where growers, creators, and community voices come together to hang out, share stories, and talk life in the garden.

This week we’re joined by our friend Chaos Goblin, a musician, home grower, and all-around creative spirit in the scene. We chat about his band, his approach to making music, what inspires him creatively, and how gardening has become a grounding part of his lifestyle.

On this week’s Havin’ A Wonderful Time, Paranoid sits down with Corey from Phocas Seeds for a chill and wide-ranging conversation that drifts between the garden bed and the mosh pit. They dive into the craft of making vegetable seeds, talk shop about home gardening and the joy of growing your own food, and then flip the vibe to their favorite rock concerts and the shows that changed them. It’s part grower talk, part music nostalgia, and 100% good energy.

This week on Havin’ a Wonderful Time, Paranoid sits down with our friend GreenVelvetFarms, a grower known for having a whole lot of love for the plant. They get into everything from early grows to the techniques GreenVelvetFarms uses today.

Nerd and Grateful sit down with Bearded Wood, a craftsman known for his incredible woodworking projects and has recently been venturing into the world of cannabis breeding. We talk about creativity, craftsmanship, and how the skills of the workshop translate into the grow room. It’s a chill, funny, and inspiring conversation that bridges two very different kinds of art.
