The Grow Room

Papa Luigi’s & The Pizza x Cannabis Idea | The Grow Room Ep. 2

What starts as a conversation about logos, pizza, and local marketing turns into a real brainstorm around an unexpected collab: Papa Luigi’s and Frosted Nug. There’s a fun crossover angle here, but the episode also gets into something deeper- why pizza is way more nuanced than people think, why consistency matters so much, and how local businesses grow when people actually give a damn about the product.   Dave, Kris, Jimmy, and Laura talk through Papa Luigi’s story, Jimmy’s decades in pizza, the craft behind making a great pie, and how the collab idea even started in the first place. From billboards and word of mouth to custom pizza boxes, branded promos, and “Nug Knots,” this one feels like the start of something real.

Jim Belushi & The Working Man's Weed | The Grow Room #1

Jim Belushi stops by The Grow Room for a wide-ranging conversation on cannabis, comedy, farming, and purpose — recorded inside The Frosted Nug campus in New Jersey. From touring dispensaries around the country to hearing firsthand how cannabis helped veterans escape opioid addiction, Jim shares the moment he realized this plant was about more than profit. We get into the idea of “the working man’s weed,” why affordability matters, how bad regulations fuel the black market, and what most people still misunderstand about THC, terpenes, and balance. Along the way, Jim tells stories about his brother John, growing Belushi’s Farm, old-school hash, Cherry Pie as a “marriage counselor,” and why New Jersey might actually be set up better than most states to get cannabis right. This is the first episode of The Grow Room — conversations rooted in culture, craft, and the people shaping the future of cannabis.

From brick weed and “Arizona” packs to today’s dispensary shelves, the crew traces the evolution of quality, packaging, and trust.
