Behind the Counter

A peppery pre-roll that feels promising at first, a smoke that somehow turns blueberry halfway through, and a surprisingly passionate debate over ceramic tips set the tone for this Bud Tender edition. Jess Thompson joins Hollis Thomas to break down what actually smoked well, what did not, and why some products sound better than they hit.They talk through Hedy pre-roll impressions, Duffel Full Blues, blueberry and blackberry caviar, Flapjacks, ceramic tips, edibles, weed drinks, and how consumers are shifting the way they enjoy cannabis. The conversation also previews Frosted Nug’s upcoming 420 weekend, with vendors, food, drinks, music, and event plans that give viewers a feel for what to expect.

A casual product check-in turns into exactly the kind of conversation you’d expect when the Frosted Nug crew gets rolling behind the mic. This episode of Behind the Counter starts with favorite strains, Puffco debates, and vape flavors, then somehow spirals into puppy adoption ideas, matcha orders, old-school Juuls, pop culture rabbit holes, and the kind of totally unfiltered side conversations that make this show what it is.Jess, Cass, Shelby, and Brad bounce between cannabis products, personal stories, internet obsessions, and everyday chaos in a way that feels more like hanging out after a shift than listening to a polished podcast. If you like real dispensary talk, product opinions, and the messy human stuff that happens around it, this one delivers the full Behind the Counter experience.

White Iverson basically takes over this episode. What starts as a laid-back budtender roundtable turns into a full-on case for why one strain keeps winning people over, why certain products hit harder than the numbers suggest, and why some old-school smokers still trust their taste over hype. From flower loyalty to “poop” weed callouts to getting way too blasted off concentrates, this one’s got real opinions all the way through.Will, Tom, Rick, and Brad talk through their favorite strains, Green Lightning picks, White Iverson hype, infused gummies, Puffco experiences, pre-roll debates, Backline drink samples, and the difference between street-era weed knowledge and legal dispensary culture. It’s part product talk, part shop-floor conversation, and part unfiltered cannabis hang.

A crew of budtenders sits down to talk through the newest products hitting the menu, and one thing completely takes over the conversation: powdered edible rosin with a crazy fast onset. What starts as skepticism turns into stories about tingling ears, mocktail ideas, and a product they jokingly call “adult fun dip.”In this first Behind the Counter Budtenders Edition, Dave Boucher, Justin Watson, Jess Thompson, and Frank DiFalco break down what they are actually excited about right now—from powdered rosin, infused drinks, and RSO/FSO hacks to new vapes, limited flower drops, Puffco deals, fast-acting gummies, and what Frosted Nug has coming next. It is part product review, part shop talk, and part look at where the menu and the culture are heading.
