No jumper. Coolest podcast on the world. And today, I've got the man himself. Best believe it, God damn it. Does it go much further than that? Folkrum is in the building. And... Folkrum, come in.

Yop. Yody gang. I got my boy Yuri with me because... Why did Housephone even know that we were interviewing Folkrum? Because Housephone hit me up like, yo, you should have Yuri do the Folkrum interview with you. Because we were talking about it yesterday. And actually, Housewin and I were plotting on...

kind of barging in on the interview to be a part of him. We're trying to make some little little plans, but then House one called me today in the morning all sleepy, and he's just like, yo, are you still going? And I had completely forgot because we got drunk last night. I was like, oh, shit, wait. I didn't want to go. At least to, like, you know, link up

in the Daubington City or something like that. But then I shout to House when he hit you up, and he said, like, yo, you should do it because he lives further away and I'm not too far away. But you two both come from the same breed of like California, stoner, chill kids. kids, yeah. Kids. Skater as well, because he's skateboarded as well. It's like these little niches and stereotypes you fall into.

It's just, you know, I don't know. I'm not at all surprised that you're a fan of him. Bro, it's pretty interesting. Yeah, we're homies now. We linked up like a month ago in my hometown. You guys did? Yeah. Oh, I didn't even realize there was a previous connection.

Okay. No, yeah, we did a video together where we went to IHOP and got stoned in an IHop. Yeah, they got mad at us for taking dabs in the goddamn IHop. Okay, wait, wait, wait, so how long? How long were you taking dabs before they ran up on you in the hop? I would say we got in two solid dabs each. Yeah. And then the waiter, he was kind of tripping.

He was like, guys, that's not cool. I forget exactly what he said, but he wasn't very happy. There's something about the dab smoke where you can kind of ignore it a little bit. Exactly, yeah, yeah. But like a wood, I feel like if you light a wood in the iHob, it's like instantaneously, everybody's going to be on you. Yeah, most definitely. The woodjuman's kind of ignorant, but I feel like the, um. It's loud.

Yeah, the dab. It takes over the room. The dab will dissipate in like a minute. That's true. I don't even smell it anymore. It's kind of true. Like back in the day, I used to hit the weed pen on the plane and then like kind of breathe it into my shirt.

It didn't really like hide it good enough, but like in my brain I thought it was going to be all right. But then I did it and everybody was kind of looking at me. But it wasn't so bad that they like kicked me off the plane. It's like a thing where you can look over and think like, I think that guy smells like weed, but you don't really see any smoke blowing. And then like, and the smell does dissipate over time. And you're like, whatever.

Maybe it just smelled as close or something. That's a risk of something. That's a goddamn plane. 100%. But I'm talking like 10 years ago when nobody even knew about a weed pen yet. That's even more dangerous 10 years ago. And I'm saying this is what, maybe not 10, maybe like eight. But that's like when I first found out about weed pens.

And it seemed like a magic invention because our whole life, in order to smoke weed, you had to like create a cloud of smoke. For real. And then all of a sudden the weed pen comes out and it's like, oh, I can just kind of like hit this and then tuck you back in my pocket. There's no rolling. Like it really seemed like an unbelievable technical. technological improvement that I don't really mess with the pens anymore, which is really kind of stupid.

Yeah, flower's the best. Flowers the best. That's how you feel? Hell yeah. Joints or woods. I think it's the best. Do you think it's because you just love the feeling of tobacco being mixed with the weed? Like, are you as addicted to that as I am?

And I assume, well, you smoke straight weed, right? No, I smoke spliffs only. Now you're on the sports open. And I've asked them to smoke a spliff because it's basically the same thing as a wood and he refuses. Oh, you won't do that. Yeah, I won't smoke a spliff. Ever. I mean, I used to in high school, used to take the bong rips with the tobacco in there, too.

Ooh, that was an era in my life. Yeah, it was fun. Not a long era. It's a big. You would need to take a nap for sure after you. We were called moles. We call mokes. We were calling mocks back home.

Why a moke? I don't know. I've heard both. That's funny. I've heard mook and mook. Oh, yeah, mook. Isn't it mook like a racial slur? Mook?

I don't know. You're thinking about a different one. There's something close to that. No, because you're thinking the one with the G. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That one is. Yeah, that's what I... But I think MOOC might be something, too.

Oh, for real? I don't know. I don't know. What was I looking to do it? Anyway, what's going on, dude? How are you doing? I'm doing great, man. I've been out here in L.A. since Thursday.

I've been having a good time. I've probably smoked, like, a quarter pound of weed over... Jesus. All in the woods? Woods, papers. Yesterday, I didn't even smoke any woods. Or no, two days ago, I didn't smoke a wood. I've been trying to lay off of them.

But were you still hitting the dabs and stuff? Yeah, I was smoking joints and stuff. I was smoking the Murphos. This is fire right here. This is the weed you're pushing right now? Yeah. This is your strain, or is this just something that hooked you up and you're hyped on it? No, they're the family.

They've just been hooking me up. And I love their flavors. I think Blasey works with them too. Right. Yeah. That's dope. Yeah, because we just found out that you with Blasey and that you actually copped this ashtray.

What was it? Ash on me, Ashley. It's right there in the middle, too, isn't it? Oh, yeah. Here's the packaging to the box. Wow. The tongue broke off. You can go.

Google it if you want to get a good look at it. But you said you actually ordered it, which was like, immediately I felt like, oh, he is family with the no jumper crew because not only did he smoke weed at the IHaw with Yuri, but he also copped the nothing personal when it first came out. Because I've been tapped into no jumpers since like 2015. For real? Yeah, the first one I've seen was the Ian Connor Shane Aveli. And I've been tapped in ever since then. See, that's legendary because that was, I believe, 2015, which when I was going back through my old interviews and I saw like dude I got that one in the first

not even year like the first six months of me doing interviews and that was pretty crazy like 2015 is very rare in no jumper territory because X was in 2016 and that's when kind of like everybody who became a fan of it became a fan yeah I remember that one too what's interesting too is he's a I asked him before he said he's 23 which like at that point

would put him into that high school demographic of kids who are you know just tuning into those interviews at that point you know it's pretty interesting fuck yeah and I'm a grown man with the sensibilities of a small child, so it just makes sense. Dude, you know what's crazy about the Ashmi Ashley thing is Blasie actually texted me. He made a video of him opening it and like doing unpackaging. So he already knows.

Okay, cool. And he sent that to me a couple months ago. And when he sent that to me, I looked at the channel. And I had already seen his channel before. And he was at like 40,000 subscribers at that point. And literally a month later, he was like at 600K. What do you blame for that? Is it all Aiden Ross or is it just kind of, he was a part of it.

and then it just started to gain steam from there. Okay, so when I had 1,000 subscribers, I did this little competition. I was like, yo, I got $50 whoever has the most viral TikTok using my YouTube clips in like two weeks. That's smart because that's like what Mr. Beas has been talking about a bit and stuff too, yeah. Yep. And so that first TikTok competition brought me from 1K to 5K, then I did it again at 5K. I was like, yo, I got $100 and some free Yoddy Land Apparel merch for whoever has the most viral video. in two weeks. And then that competition brought me from 5K to like 100K. And it just started spreading

like wildfire from there like XQC noticed me. Aiden and Ross noticed me. And it just started going crazy. Like it's a combination of a lot of things. But that TikTok competition is like what initially like skyrocketed that shit. Right. Because I'm not going to lie, it was like a couple weeks ago some random fan that I have an open DM with hit me and was like, dude, you need to interview fulcrum yada yada and so i went on youtube and i typed it in and the first thing i saw was that patrick cc video that he just dropped and i watched it and i immediately became like really hyped on it and felt kind of like a lame that i didn't already know about it because that video summed it up very nicely and like one of the main things that he summed up was that like a lot of popping streamers

now whether it's speed or jidion or whatever like there's an element of their content where they're going out in public and they're fucking with people and getting a reaction from them and shit like that. And for the most part, they like get away with it because they are funny and they're charming. So it works. But yours is kind of like a different take on that where instead of like walking up to a random guy and kind of messing with them, you're just sort of like existing, just being yourself in public. And there's like something about the way that you just sort of act oblivious to the consequences. And then it sort of happens and you're kind of cool about it. Like, oh, all right. Yeah, man, I'll go. I don't know. There's like this.

It's just vlogging. It's slightly, but it's a different take on the live streaming IRL genre. Because it's all edited up and stuff too. Yeah. Because I live stream and I also go out and do my vlogs. So when I watch the vlogs on YouTube, those aren't all live streams? They're not live streams. Yeah, they're just a, I film on my GoPro.

Film on my GoPro, then I edit them up and then I post them. That's what I find interesting about them too is the way you film them, they look like an IRL stream. And like the way you interact with what's going on, it seems like it's an IRA stream, but it's actually just a YouTube video. See, last time I watched like five of them in a row, and I was thinking the whole time that these must have been live stream. So I just found out.

Which one did you watch? You almost getting in the fight at 7-Eleven. One of the other ones, it was out like a Target or some shit, and you're smoking in it. I thought it was pretty funny because like a random black dude just appears and he's a security guard, but like he was like an undercover shopper dude. And I never really, I always know there's undercover shoppers in Target, but I never actually seen one.

Yeah, they're all over. And I'm like, oh shit, so that's, how it happens he just appears yeah yeah that's a hell of funny you guys want to light up i'm ready let's do it whoa go get a lighter over there shirzington my friends oh yeah cheersington guys um squad i'll best believe a god damn it holy shit i was kind of hoping that uh flokrum would come with uh would come with his whole dabbing set up to see adam take a dab and you know go to dabbington city for for a moment you know i think about it sometimes sometimes i think i have to try a little too hard to get really high with the splits really like well you do smoke very tiny ones to be honest

Yeah, but sometimes, like, I'll get home from work, and it's like, I'll, because now I've a kid, so I don't want to smoke in the house. Okay. So, yeah, it's just, it just seems fucked up. Like, even if your kid were to get, like, a tiny percentage of one percent of any kind of weed feeling, it seems like it would be all bad. So I'm going outside of smoke, you know? Yeah, I got you a gift.

I got you a gift. Weed for my kid. No, thank you, sir. A smoke buddy? It's a puffco. Oh, nice. Electronic dabrig. Because I've seen you giving those out, and we've definitely, like, they sponsored us before.

And so that definitely is one of my preferred pens. It's buyer, yeah, because I just bring that shit in the goddamn grocery store. But sometimes I get hold for work at, like, Ted P.eb. I want to go to bed like 11.30. And it seems like, well, maybe I should just blast off on, like, a single dab rather than trying to, like, squeeze a couple splifts into this hour and a half. Exactly. Yeah, yeah. A dab always gets me right before bed.

I mean, sometimes I might get two stoned before bed. I've been thinking about some super deep shit Pull the mic in a little bit But do you think that you can get too high before bed You think it gives you like a weird sleep No, I feel like you could get too high And just start thinking about a bunch of things though Like where you can't fall asleep

I feel like it's been a long time Since I had the too high to sleep thing Yeah, same exactly I get too drunk to sleep But how many, how long have you been smoking so far Like in your whole life like consecutively since you started shit so I started smoking when I was 16 years old

but okay the first time I got high was when I was 15 off edibles oh shit and was it on purpose or you just happened it was on purpose yeah at the time my homie worked at he was 16 before me I was 15 years old but he worked at KFC and I eventually started working there too but he had gotten this edible from some customer in the drive-thru and then yeah we did school one day we did just like the last couple periods and went to this one like trail and ate the edible. That's what was fun, man.

You trusted this random customer's edibles? Yeah, I don't know what the hell I was on, man. And what city was this again? This was in Brentwood. This was in Brentwood. Okay. I'm from Brentwood, but I've moved all around the East Bay. Right.

And Yock Brentwood, Oakley area. Right. Which do you think in a lot of ways, like your content might be sort of like informing people about what the. average stoner kid is like from NorCal. Yes, most definitely. I feel like that too. You kind of remind me of like a lot of like chill-ass skater kids that I've met at

the skate park and shit over the years. Like, because coming from the East Coast, like especially, you know, I moved here in like 2010. So it's like weed was still hell illegal on the East Coast. And then I move out here and it's like you go to the skate park and there's just

some kid with like a bong in the middle of the day. Yeah, it's like a 15 year old kid with hell of weed. And you're just like, oh shit. This is like a way different thing out here. I agree. It's like a window into, you know, that type of lifestyle.

But have you ever been to through that area at him? It's like, that's where my girlfriend's from Riley. And there's like a lot of farmland. There's like a lot of open spaces. There's horses and cows. And it's like a very different lifestyle. But so you grew up more like that or in like a bit of an urban area for the most part? I grew up like around a lot of farms and shit.

Yeah. Around a lot of farms. So what kind of trouble do the kids get into when you like aren't really, You don't really have a downtown area to go to necessarily? We do, but it's like, it wasn't really that, like, bad. Like, honestly, the town I'm from Brentwood, that's where I went to high school and shit. It wasn't that bad. It was chill, like the bad kids.

I guess the kids in high school were getting in trouble, they were, like, doing drugs and stuff, you know? Like, just doing drugs. It's weird how there's, like, the good drugs and then the bad drugs. Yeah. But they kind of have, like, a similar experience, except one of them is going to kill. kill you. You know, like, if you get hooked on Zans and stuff, you're kind of, like, going for the same effect as, like, smoking a blunt. It's just going to kill you in the long run and get you super addicted, whereas weed probably isn't going to have that impact. How does Zan phase

in 2018? Yeah. Hell yeah. How did you, how did you end up there? Like, like, let's take the whole, actually, no, before we even get into that, I want to talk about, like, Lil Fulcrum. Like, what, what was your childhood, childhood like? It was chill. You know, I live with both of my parents. parents. We lived, we did, our family was doing pretty good until like the two, two, two thousand eight recession hit. That's when shit started getting a little bit rocky for us. But yeah, my childhood was pretty good, man. I was a skater kid. I started skating in elementary school hanging out at the skate park. Yeah. And like, what turned you on to skating? I, I have no idea. It was just like something that was inside of me that I really wanted to do.

Like I had, I told my parents and then yeah, my parents were like, Yeah, we'll get you a skateboard. Were you, like, into the freedom of it, or were you actually hyped on doing tricks? Yeah, I was doing tricks. Like, I just loved putting my mind to something and then progressing. Like, that's how I always was as a kid. I like teaching myself how to do something. I'm just putting my mind to some rinky-dink activity.

That's how I always felt. I like how you're holding the blunt upside down, like you're planning on hitting it backwards. Yeah, like this. I've done that before, like recently. That shit is emotional. Yeah, I get too faded. sometimes. That's faded than a hoe. You're faded than a hole? Well, no, but if you

put the lip part into your mouth, then you're definitely more faded than a hoe. Oh, that was my favorite thing that I saw last night was the dude. He was wearing a red Gap shirt and you go, hey, you want to get faded than a hoe? And he's like, nah, go outside and whoop your ass, though? He's like, you want to catch a fade? And you're like, nah, I was like

trying to offer you this weed pen. And he's like, but he was kind of really trying to act tough to you. He was the employee. Wait, really? Yeah, that was a target employee. He was like, We could go run this fade outside. Oh my God.

I was like, bro, you got to chill. Is this fulcum really giving you the energy of like, oh, I got to beat this kid's ass? He's a threat. I try not to come off that way in public. You do not come up that way at all. And you are very respectful. Like when we did that I hop video, like as soon as the guy came over, it was like nothing but, you know, apologies and like, you know, we'll tone it down.

We'll chill, blah, blah. It's like you're very respectful at the end of the day. But I was asking him, like, when you're in a situation like that, you know, smoking in public areas, there could be some dude nearby with his wife and kids. And he can get really upset that you're smoking next. next to his kids. I was like, have you ever had someone like that's Yeah, honestly if there are kids in the I hop that kind of feels like a reason that you shouldn't smoke in there. There was no kids next to us though. Yeah. Well, that's good. Yeah. That was a good-ass fucking time, bro. I had a fun time filming in that video. No, that was interesting.

I want to throw this in there. I feel like when I see you walking around the target or whatever, smoking and getting away with it, to me, it almost feels like a commentary on the terrible reality of the fact that whenever you go into a. a grocery store or a target there's there's like two employees so it's like you ever like you're in the grocery store and you like want to find something and it takes you you have to walk around for 15 minutes before you find something to ask them what aisle this shit is in and that's why you can get away with that because like retail is kind of falling apart in America that bro so true I feel like it has to do with the city I live in now like I wouldn't be able to do what I do in like nice neighborhood yeah it would not go over so well even Hollywood but like in the valley

in nice areas, yeah, you would get busted really quick. There's this town called Warnock that's like 20 minutes, 15 minutes where I live. I could not do what I do in Antioch and goddamn Warnat Creek. You tried? I have, but it's just super hot, like people are looking at you. There's cops

and shit. Oh, shit. Yeah, I've done it before and was successful, but it's just too hot. It's too hot in certain neighborhoods. Yeah. I've got to be calculated with where I film my videos. But you haven't got arrested yet? No, I've talked to cops before, though. Do they trip on you though? No one time this cop told me he's like bro we love your video keep grinding

you're gonna hit a million subscribers soon that's sick yeah wow I swear that shit was funny itself cops are just people you know exactly like I remember getting harassed by cops when I was younger for riding bikes you know all that and like the cops clearly just didn't understand what the fuck we're doing it all now and now unless you get a really old cop they fucking played tony hawk when they were a kid yeah they like watch some skate videos or you know what the number one thing you from security guard is, is, I used to escape, man. Exactly. Yeah, there's always the videos of the cops hitting tri flips and shit.

Yes, yes, exactly. Anylock is like, you know, it's a pretty big area, but it's not the largest area. And if you've done a good amount of videos at this point, do you ever feel like you're running out of places to go, you know, get faded in a hoe? Yes, it's harder to film videos now because, especially in my town, like, people know me and then they start following me and, like, filming me. Do I, like, follow me around the store while I'm, like, vlogging and, you. shit, I'll be like, damn.

I've seen it where it's like you end up taking so many photos that it's like, this doesn't really necessarily feel like you're getting the video that you want, even though it is cool to meet all the fans and shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like when I went to Berkeley, fucking all those kids, there was like a group of 20 kids. I didn't even tell anyone I was at Berkeley. They were just following me around. And at one point, I was like, yo, guys, I got to go finish this video.

I'm sorry. That kind of happens to everyone because I feel like Jidion's gone through that this year. I remember Nelke Boys doing a video at the Melrose store and they dressed up as SoundCloud rappers and they were trying to fuck with all the dudes in line and everything. I remember that. And the kids, everybody in line like just got it right away. They're like, that's the fucking Nelkeboys. Their tattoos were incredibly fake though. 2017, maybe, 2018.

That's some legendary shit. So it's like Nelkeboys before they were really popular. But at the same time, like this is the No Jumper store. Like all these fans fucking watch YouTube and shit. They all know who you are. You had them try to troll like one of your guests too, right? You're about to interview someone and you were going to have them like. like barge in and like do something weird or like you know we were trying to convince like

some random person that the dude's tattoos were real or something oh yes they didn't fall for it they look so fake too and ruin the prank yeah just very very dark colors like dark lines and she'll like that but okay what kind of kid were you before skateboarding came around like what were you gravitating towards um shit I would me and my cousins before I started skating I was making like, we would make skits, like video making and stuff. Making skits with my cousins, like, just with our, like, I don't know. Were you watching YouTube and stuff? Yeah, definitely in elementary school.

I was watching YouTube. My dad didn't want me on YouTube, though, so I'd have to go behind his back to go on YouTube. How did you do that? How do you get past the parents or controls? And just go to, like, my cousin's house or some shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think about that a lot. No, I got a kid.

How do I protect? from TikTok at some point. Yeah, it's impossible almost. I can't. Yeah, that shit's fucked. Yeah. It's hard. Definitely.

Why was your dad trying to keep you off YouTube? Like, my parents, you know, I understand. Like, YouTube, there's a lot of fuck shit. Yeah. Especially back then. Like, they were tapped in enough to know that, like, I should keep my son off their shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's interesting. My parents are so unaware that they didn't even know what it was. You know what I had to ask my dad, like, when I could make my first YouTube account. Really? Yeah. In sixth grade for my skateboard videos. Oh, shit. Interesting. Did you have to ask permission to make like social media platforms like a Myspace or a Facebook or some shit? No, I feel like after

I got the YouTube account, I was just like, I'm just gonna start doing this shit. I'm in middle school now. But do you have to like buy your own phone or do your parents give you a phone at some point? My parents gave me a phone. That's got to be a weird decision as a parent. Like when you give your kid a phone. Yeah. Because they're kind of like socially stunted until they get a phone once other kids at school started getting phones, you know? Yes, yes. Most definitely kids started getting phones when I was. in sixth grade. Yeah. But they weren't like iPhones.

They'd be just like simple flip phones you could call your fucking parents with or some shit. But these days like if my kid was 13 and she's in school and all the other 13 year olds have phones and you really don't think she should have a phone. But at the same time she's like a total fucking loser because she doesn't have a phone. No, I would keep her without the phone unless she's like walking home from school and you need to be able to contact or know where she is, then she gets a phone. That's the problem is that you want to be able to keep the best contact you can with him, right? What's the best way? Give him a phone. We'll do what he said. Get her a flip phone.

Rinky dink phone. Yeah, like a rinky dink. But how mad are you going to be at your fucking dad? Not even in 2022. In 2032, your dad's giving you a fucking Motorola razor just so that you can't get on TikTok and shit or whatever insane thing they have that's going to come after TikTok. Shit, I don't know. I feel like it's a, you're only going to go through that hurdle for a couple years of maturing and then you could get the actual phone. I think it's fine. You know, it'll be a little strife. And so. arguments but I feel like it's a hurdle you guys can get over. Being a parent's heart, huh?

I know. Well, it just gives you a lot of shit to think about it. I'm a fucking uncle. My sister just had a daughter. Oh, congrats. How old is your sister? She's 21. She's 21.

Okay. Yeah. Nice. But shit, just being around my sister and shit, like, it's a lot of work raising a kid. But does it make you think about how this might be part of your life at some point that you might want to be a dad? Or are you like not even close to that yet? No, I definitely want to be a father at some point.

that's what I'm doing all this shit for my future kids and shit but what do you feel like you're building right now and like when did it start to feel like you weren't just streaming but you were maybe actually building a brand and a business that could be like a serious thing because I feel like you've kind of wrapped your head around the fact that this is a big opportunity

I've always wanted to build my brand and I've tried so many different things tried so many different startups and just like failed dozens of times and then shit once this like smoking in the store live streaming shit took off i was like you know what like i'm just going to put all my energy into this shit i love making videos i love making music i'm just going to keep building my brand like this and that happened in 2022 when i realized like damn i could really do this it's not just some dreams in the back of my head i can really do this shit now

it's weird though because it's like does it feel like it's about the smoking in the store or does it feel like that just happens to be the one viral thing that kind of helped you get a bunch of notoriety, but really you have plans to do all kinds of different shit. Yeah, that's just what generated the traffic. This year, the music's really going to take off. It's bubbling on Spotify right now. Streams are going up. I got this crazy music video with these crazy-ass motherfucking videographers.

My way out? Or not? No, no, it's a new one. Oh, okay. For my outro song, they've been asking for this song. for so long. I'm going to drop it on streaming platforms with the music video. Oh, fine. It's going to go stupid. Wow, I can't believe. I haven't heard it yet.

Have you heard any of the music? No, what the fuck? I got to watch one song. We've got to edit this out. Check out. I like that one. A video? Yeah, it's a video. All right, we're going to edit this out, but I feel like I can't. Is that one of your favorite songs? My Way Out? You fuck with it? Okay. But the next one's going to go crazy. Oh, shit. Okay, see, I didn't even know this existed. And all the beats in my videos are producing shit. Okay, I just checked out my way out I'm into it honestly like that was pretty dope

Thank you man I hear a lot of bad artists all the time so like I could Fully say that that was not some shit Hell yeah thank you that was cool I made that in 2021 I produced the track and then I just instantly Freestyle on it really? Yeah like punching not like freestyle How'd you learn to make beats? I started making beats 10 years ago when I was in seventh grade

Really? Yeah. That's crazy. Got fruity loops on my computer and I started making dubstep. But I was listening to Odd Future Wolfgang, killed them all heavy. And I really loved how Tyler made his beats. And I was like, you know what? I'm going to start trying to make like some hip-hop beats.

Wow. And then, yeah, that was eighth grade freshman year. I started making hip-hop beats. Is it still like a pastime? Do you just find yourself getting in the lab consistently or is the streaming shit kind of taken over? Or not streaming, but making YouTube? Yeah, content creation has taken. taking over for sure but I still like to make music like make songs where like I sing

a rap on them but I haven't made a beat in like months really months yeah you rap on other people's beats now yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah people's beats are you getting beats from like well-known producers now are you still fucking with like other online people you already had I honestly like the YouTube type beats YouTube type beats but I got a list of like underground producers I fuck with yeah Phil you can definitely just take the thumbnail like that. We'll just blur the blunt. It'll be cute. They'll be hyped. They're going to be hyped seeing a blurred blunt in the thumbnail. I was going to ask you this though. So you said your dad was kind of like, you know, on top of your YouTube shit. He was like actually

looking out and I wouldn't say he was strict, but he kind of sounded like he was leaning towards the strict side. How do they, how does he or your mom feel about these videos now that they know you're doing it in your area? It's not that big of an area. They probably recognize the spots you're going to. Like, you're kids in here smoking, dabs again, Bruce. What's their reaction? What's their reaction to it? So, okay, when I first started, like, blowing up and I quit my job, my mom thought I was going crazy.

My mom literally thought I was, like, going insane. How much money did you need to start making before you felt like, okay, I could quit? I quit when I was making, like, less than what I was making at my job. I was making like $2,000 every other week full time at my job. And then, God damn, I was probably getting like $1,500 every other week. And then I quit. Damn. Yeah.

But you just knew like this is the future. This is going to be it. Was that all YouTube money? Yeah. No TikTok money. So you're like blowing up on TikTok but it's on other people's accounts. I've never got a single dollar from TikTok. The money sucks even if you are fully monetized on there.

But a lot of it's not even your content on TikTok. It's a lot of your fans and other people making TikToks of their own and a lot of their stuff is blown up. It's not like a lot of those videos are going to your channel or whatever it is. Yeah, so it's other people just like uploading my clips to their own account. Is there anyone who's like grown a substantial audience just based off your content? Yeah, someone's definitely got like a 100K TikTok followers just using my content. That's sick. And I think they switched it up and then they started doing something else.

See, okay. That's fire though. But that's what I was going to say is that I've seen. No Jumper fan pages that like Get you know 20k 30k From like just reposting random old shit from our account And at first I'm thinking like oh that's cool And like one of them I even had the DMs open with

And then pretty soon after they just change it to their name And they delete all the post and then all of a sudden there's some they're just some guy Or they'll change it to like a breakfast club fan of account And then they'll start getting fans from pretending to be like the breakfast club thing And I'm like I feel less good about this now But it's dangerous like on their part because like you could get zap for copyright yeah you could get zap for copyright yeah also no but your whole audience is going to be like what happened like who is this bob guy i don't care about

bob and his guitar it's like i was here for no jumper means and but what they really are saggett fan page but what they really could do is just sell the page that too and you know i'm sure that happens all the time that's pretty interesting make some money you could oh definitely yeah you can really make some money but at the same time fuck it because they fucking blew you up as a result of that like You basically just incentivize them to put the work in, and then they just went crazy with it. So fuck it, you know. Yeah, here's the Gamington. So put all of my clips on TikTok and then, God damn it, you can go to these brands, be like,

yo, I built this goddamn big-ass page. I can work for you guys and blow you guys up on TikTok too. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. The dude who does all our clips, Remo, we found him because he just had an account where he was watching our streams and clipping shit. And we were just like, oh, like, we're just going to hire you. And he was like, okay, sweet.

That's dope as hell. Yeah, that's how we found him. So, yeah, man, it's a hell of a thing. Social media these days, man. I know for real. You know what I found interesting? I was listening to your dope-ass yola interview earlier today. Chahiyola.

Yeah, shout to yola. You said your dad is an ultra runner. Yeah. And I was like, I was like, I've never met anyone who said that their dad or parents were interested. A father and son who are using their lungs in very different ways. For real? My dad. Smokes pack though.

Really? Yeah. And he's an ultra runner. That actually motivates me. Yeah, I mean, yeah, he used to do like marathons all the time, but he's still running pretty consistently, but he's definitely toned it down a bit. Well, like a lot of jiu-jitsu dudes will be fully like smoking weed like before they train jujitsu because it's this very cerebral like thing that's like all about creativity and shit.

And they like smoking weed before it. And even me, like I will face a fucking split before I go do cardio for. an hour and a half. But sometimes I'll, like, do cardio. I'll have a plan to do cardio for two hours, right? I'll do the first hour, and then I'll go smoke some more, and then I'll be doing the second half, and I'll just get dizzy.

Like, the weeds starts to affect me in a different way when I'm already, like, have my heart rate elevated, you know? I knew this dude who played basketball, and he was a cigarette smoker, and then he said that whenever he was having, like, an intense game, he smoked the cigarette in between. He would sometimes throw up. That's crazy. And he told me he's like, yeah, you shouldn't smoke while your heart rate's hell

hell up like that because... That's crazy. It makes you feel crazy or weird. Yeah, maybe just weed would be fine, but tobacco when working out, I don't know. It does increase your, well, actually, just smoking in general increases your heart rate. And then if you're already, like, off the adrenaline, you know, going crazy. And then you smoke. There's been times where I didn't smoke for, like, a week. And working out feels really good.

But then at the same time, I just, I want to smoke, so I just keep doing it. Do you ever, like, go a couple days and not realize you haven't smoked, or do you, like, smoke every day? I'm going to be real. I probably smoked every day the past year. I feel that. I would multiply that by like 10 for me. 10 years? Maybe like 8.

Not a single day off. Not a single day off. When I get sick, I'll stop. Actually, you're right, you're right. You know what? Edibles. Yeah. A lot of times it'll turn into that.

Yeah. Like when I'm like taking a week off of smoking and I'm all proud of myself, the reality is it'll probably take some edibles every night. But you're still not smoking. Yeah, yeah. Edibles are probably, what do you think is better for you? Edibles? or like coffee?

Hmm. See, I feel like I've read a lot of studies to say coffee's not bad for you. Really? Which is crazy because I also feel like energy drinks clearly are bad for you and that seems pretty transparent. But like coffee, like, I don't know. A lot of people will tell you this. It's really, there's nothing bad about that.

I love coffee. A lot of people do. I felt down the rabbit hole that apparently coffee is actually not good for you at all. And it's such a huge business that they just, they create their own, you know, statistics and their own studies, everything that proves it's good for you. just to continue their business. I mean, when I'm, like, dumping this black liquid down my throat and it makes me all hyper, it is kind of hard to believe that this isn't bad for me.

It's like beans. Yeah, right, but it seems pretty natural, too. But it also, like, bro, this is some dark black liquid that makes me hyper. And it makes, like, acid feel like there's acid in my stomach. It makes you want to shit instantly. It can't be that great. Yeah, it makes you poop. I got to tell you one thing.

When you wake up in the morning, goddamn it, and then you roll up a woodjim in. And then you take your first sip of coffee. That shit is goddamn it. Exquisite, exquisite, exquisite, exquisite, exquisite, exquisite. Best believe it, goddamn it. Folcrum, come in. Yo, y'all. Yody, gang.

Yo, so this is an interesting thing. I feel like in a lot of your YouTube videos, you kind of, like, limit your language to the catchphrases in large part. Yeah. But then I'm, like, listening to you on Yola and I'm watching out here, and I'm like, it's kind of like you've chosen to, like, open up your personality a bit coming out and doing these podcasts and stuff because in your YouTube videos it's a little bit more simplified yeah I feel like no like on the live streams I'm like this too like that's true

I talk more I don't just say my catchphrases but I've definitely been opening up going on the podcast a little bit for so yeah are you like starting to is it been a little bit of a challenge to like really share your full personality with people you feel like you're getting better at it? No, it's not a challenge. I feel like I'm not really a shy person. I might be a little bit awkward, but it's just because I'd be faded in Yoddyland. I feel you. But I feel like I haven't changed too much, but the purpose and mission is always going to be the same. I do this just to, I'm not doing this shit necessarily for like money and like this material shit. I just want to let people know like really like if they woke up today, they're valuable and important no matter

what age, no matter what size they are. Like, motherfuckers have a purpose and mission here. What size they are, like, in terms of social media or in terms of weight? Yeah, like, that too. Like, either or. You're a body positive influencer? Not necessarily. I want to call myself that,

but I just want to say, like, no matter who you are, no matter what size you are, no matter what age you are, no matter what color you are, like, no matter who you are, if you woke up today, you're valuable and important and you have a purpose here. Real shit. That was my purpose and mission, just to let, as many people as possible know that.

I like that you always include those messages in all your videos, too. I was going to ask you that, actually, is like, what makes you want to, you know, try to push this positivity so much? I've noticed that in other people, maybe sometimes they're, like, down in life, so sometimes they'll want to push positivity to make themselves feel happier, right? And then they also make people around them feel happier at the same time. But, like, what makes you, like, kind of want to make everyone, you know, just seems so, like, welcomed and, like, you know, accepted and, like, uh, fucking, I don't know what other word to use,

But I don't, like, I don't try to, like, just be positive. I, like, just try to be, like, truthful. Like, I just try to let these people know there's so many distractions. And all we got is, like, the present moment. No matter who you are, if you woke up today, you're valuable and important. Like, that's my purpose and mission. I'm not, like, necessarily trying to be positive. I'm just trying to let people know the truth.

Does Folkrum deal with depression and self-doubt? Or do you feel like your mental health at this point in your life is pretty solid? So I feel like I'm a human being and as a human being We all go through our ups and downs And we just got to keep it pushing You feel I'm feeling me? Like we gotta keep a pushing like I wouldn't necessarily say I'm depressed I used to be hell of depressed

I'm grateful every single day that this is my job like Real shit I smoke as much weed as I'm wanting shit Like I've always wanted to do this shit What the fuck? I'm here on god damn it no jumper what the fuck With Yuri Yeah this is true Bro when I linked up with him he told me he was like

He was like I've been watching your content year he's like I watched your streams and shit and I was like what the fuck I was like no way dude and then he's like yeah he's like I'm heavy into no jumper he's like I fuck a blasey house phone like he knows everyone you know from the no jumper universe and all that shit it's pretty interesting that is sick that's cool enough oh yeah so yeah I was gonna ask you um I saw the stream where you linked up with ex QC and A and Ross and I was wondering if they went to Yody Land with you I know they're huge fans of you and they think it's really entertaining but did they yeah did they fucking travel travel with you I didn't I didn't smoke with XQC and Aiden and Ross I was drinking with

though. Oh, like beers or something? Yeah. We're drinking the white clausingtons. Because, all right, when it comes to streaming, I feel like high energy is usually something that works very good for people who stream. And sometimes, because my main thing I do on stream is I play poker. And sometimes I'll be doing it without smoking. And my energy level would be like real high. And I feel like, oh, this is like good content. But then also, like, I'm a human being, so I just fucking smoke weed. And then I feel like my energy level. like dips a bit and sometimes I wonder is this good but you're somebody who proves that you could definitely smoke and stream for long periods of time and keep the energy high yeah um my streams get really hype get really freaking hype we're going on omigo type shit we talk to a bunch of people omigo takes a lot of energy out of me though really does yeah just meeting people randomly

that's just a bunch of little kids you see a bunch of crazy ass shit and you'd be like damn why am i on this shit you don't have the problem with seeing tons of dicks anymore at this point? No, you still see a handful of them. How do you filter it? How do you make sure the audience doesn't see it? I got to put a picture on OBS so it covers the other person's

like camera. And then you open it up once you trust them? Yeah, I'll turn it off, the picture off once. I'm like, okay, it's a normal person. Damn, yeah. I got hit a few times over the years. Somebody donated for us to listen to a song and the thumbnail on SoundCloud was just a girl with come all over her face. That was on the screen for a little bit. That's crazy.

That was a long time ago. Can you for that shit? I feel like we just exited the stream immediately and didn't get hit for it. But there was another time where we were listening to a song and the cover art was like a painting of a naked woman's body. And it kind of looked like a photograph, sort of. And we got hit for that because none of us even like made the connection that this could be a problem on the screen. Yeah. Oh, no.

That's crazy. I remember when the SoundCloud thing happened, the child was just like, naked, naked lady, naked lady. We were just like looking like, what are you guys talking about? And we saw it was in the fucking avatar. the thumbnail. Yeah. But how much of a problem is it

for you in terms of violating community guidelines and getting your shit taken down? Like, do you feel like your YouTube channel is really stunted growth-wise?

Like, obviously you've been blowing up, but like it feels like it might have been kind of hard. Like your videos weren't really being recommended that much. Even last night when I searched Folkram on my TV,

it wasn't letting me watch a lot of them because they're age-restricted. It has stunted a lot of growth. And that's why I had a, find new strategies to grow my channel, like the TikTok TikTok competition. When I did that first TikTok competition, YouTube was not recommending my videos. They were not fucking with me.

And yeah, even to this day, I didn't get my 100K black. They turned you down. Yeah, my content goes against their community guidelines. Oh, shit. They did that to me too. For real? For No, for No, for my personal Adam 22 channel, they wouldn't give me the million plaque. Because the Brian Pumper video? This was like way before that. I should probably try again, but they wouldn't give it to me like a couple years ago. That's Wackington, man. That's Wackington. Do you, do any of your videos get any advertisement, like ad revenue on them at all? So a couple of them do. Like some of my big videos are monetized, which is pretty cool.

Like, they still get paid to this day, but I choose not to monetize most of my videos just because like when the day comes when I know I'm going to post a video where I'm not smoking, I'll choose to monetize those ones. Like, because YouTube strict, they could take away my monetization if they wanted to. That's true. That's true. I'm just being smart about it, choosing not to monetize my smoking videos and stuff. So what are the best, or where do you make most of your money from at this point? Streaming, brand deals, like working with brands. Fucking, even the music stream checks are pretty good too.

Really? Yeah. That's good to be here. I'm telling you guys, the music this year is going, is going to go crazy. I'm going to do some shows. That's, I like it. Who do you listen to? What's like the music that has you hyped at this point?

I'm listening to a lot of Larry June, baby smooth. Those are my top two. Really? Yeah. Is this on BabyTron a lot? I mess with BabyTron, yeah. I feel like you and BabyTron will get along really good. I would love to see you guys in the same room.

Hell yeah, I would love to smoke some pack with BabyTron. That would be funny. I feel like you need to do a music video with them. Fuck, yeah, that would be funny. I feel like he would be down, too. That would be hell of funny. I wonder if I have this number. Housephone really wants to get on a track with you, make some music with you.

He's really good friends of BabyTron as well. I heard the Housephone track too. That shit was fucking funny. Oh yeah, Housephone made a song titled Fullcrumb. And it was like the whole intro was like his intro where he does the Yody gang thing. It's pretty funny. That show is Wokington. What is, okay, you know what's funny is I had a friend in the past who kind of did that like English, you know, fancy English thing where it's like, you know, Wokington.

Like, you add a little inkton to stuff. Where did you get that? Like, when did you start doing that? Shit, I probably started saying the first one was Beddington. We just hit someone with the Beddington. You know, like, but that started in 2018, like, with my homie, Brucho and my homie Matthew Ye, like, real shit. I think Bruchel was the first person I heard to start saying, like, Beddington.

See, I remember back in the day in New York, there would be a bunch of dudes in Harlem and shit that would say, like, oh, that shit, Popington. And they would be adding inton to a lot of words. Brucho is from New York. He's a goat rapper. I think it does. It's like its origins might be in New York and then it somehow got passed along. I definitely heard it from Brasho first, real sheet.

I wonder if Baby Tron's going to respond with his phone number before the end of this podcast because I really want to message him. How do you, like, call somebody on Instagram? I've never done that, but sometimes I see people trying to do it to me. I saw you were dealing with issues or you couldn't even message people on Instagram the other day. You know, that shit went back, I think. But I don't know. I don't see any kind of button to, like, call him or anything.

But I'm just going to wait and see if he sends his number and then I'll face-time him because Maybe Chones the goat. I don't know why, but I just want to make that connection. Maybe I can get Larry June's number. Oh, that would be sick. I interviewed him in like 2015. Oh, yeah. Maybe 2016.

Yeah, that shit was fucking. I remember I was out of girls' house drinking and I like woke up in her bed and like had to like grab my bike to the store and do that shit at like 10 in the morning without showering. And I hate, I hate doing an interview without showering. I bet. And then you remember it type sheet. You just feel yucky.

Even though they can't tell. They might. If I didn't shower... I could have not shower for a week and nobody would know right now. Maybe they're just being nice and they're not talking about

the weird stench in the room. No, but they're not in the room. They're watching it through the TV. Oh, okay, okay. I'm talking about... Oh, yeah. I was talking about Larry June. No, I don't want to stink

in front of Larry June. No, yeah, that'll be kind of strange. I can't do that. Exactly. He'll make a song about it. Yeah, that's all that. Or include you in a rap. That's hell of funny.

Yeah, when you started smoking, were you still in high school? Yeah, I was 16. My homie had, uh... we were just chilling that day. He was like, bro, I got two dubies at home. We should smoke them. I was like, I was like, bet.

And so we went to this open field, and we smoked both of the doobies as fast as we could. Like, to the, like, yeah, as fast as we could in, like, under five minutes. So I got way too high. Why are you rushing? We didn't know how to smoke. Like, we were smokers, so we didn't know how to do it. Yeah. And we're paranoid, too.

I mean, like, smoking in a hurry sucks. and lately I've been thinking about this a lot it sucks smoking when it's cold yeah I kind of agree because when you're like it's kind of cold and then the smoke is hot and then you're breathing it in I feel like you're more likely to cough

and I notice this because I'll be outside smoking in the cold and then I'll go in my back house and turn the heat up and then smoke when it's warm right after and enjoy it way more as soon as I'm in a nice temperature yeah smoking smoking outside kind of sucks unless it's like summer yeah coldness is

sobering dude like I noticed that when I go snowboarding I'm like outside like shivering you know smoking a blunt or whatever I'm like I think I'm getting faded but not really it's like not worth cold yeah nose is running type yeah exactly just you're dealing with all these issues I'd rather be in the whip jim and I feel that 100% yeah and that's when it becomes necessary to steam out the bathroom in the hotel oh my god I've never done that you don't do that if you get a hotel room are you trying to smoke in the bathroom or you just go outside so I'm at this hotel room right now, but I'm not paying for it, so I haven't been smoking any. But, like, when I was in New York, I was smoking wood after wood after wood.

I have to tell you about my New Year's. I was at this hotel in Berkeley. I got checking at 4 p.m. It was New Year's Eve. I was just smoking Hello Woods. My homies were there. They had their own room. We had three woods in the air.

6 p.m. comes around. We get a knock on the door. I get my ass kicked out of the hotel for smoking Hello Woods in there. on New Year's? Yeah. God damn. We stayed at the Trump International in Vegas one year

and I was off the Zans drinking and smoked a blunt in the bathroom and then like I'm so oblivious all of a sudden the fucking the whole staff just like shows up in my door they're pointing at the toilet there's blunt guts in the toilet like the smoking gun like you just can't deny it once they've

and they're taking photos and shit and I'm zanned out of my mind just like give me the fucking $400 fine dude i don't give a fuck as long as i get to go to sleep after this i don't care that's that's how i thought it was like shit i'll just pay the fine it is what it is well they showed up like i thought the cops were gonna come i was fucking worried hell no how long ago was that this is probably like 2017 or some shit but then okay in comparison to that when i was in Vegas playing the world series of poker i was staying on probably like the 20th floor this fucking building right so it occurs to me and it's

like annoying to go outside and smoke because I'm in the fucking area where the world series of poker is. So I'm seeing fans and like people who know who I am whenever I go down stairs to smoke. So it's like I was just like fuck it. I'm going to try. So I just turn on the shower the whole way. Why does that help? Because it makes like the room more humid. And I think that like the smoke kind of like becomes one with the water and it stinks less. Maybe. I don't know if this actually. It seems like it worked. People say it works. And then I take towel. and I shove them under the fucking door. So I'm like steaming out the bathroom.

And I'm putting the thing on the door that says, do not disturb. So I'm not getting any new towels or anything. I got to like call when I want new towels. But I'm like, it worked. I did it for a week straight. I'm like smoking a fucking spliff to the face in the morning. I'm doing it at night after the tournament.

And I was cool. In New York? No, this is in Vegas. Oh, yeah, yeah. But maybe it's the hotel too because I'm like, I didn't smell it in the hallway. And I was really checking too. Because when I would come back,

I'd be like really. trying to see if I could smell it. Was it a really expensive a room? Because I feel like the more you pay the more they're like lenient. You know what I mean? It was a decent one. It wasn't anything too special. They probably were thinking like I'm not going to disturb Mr. The Trump International wasn't fucking around though. That's what I'm saying. There's definitely different vibes in different hotels.

They got to like accommodate that type of shit though. Most definitely. But you could also get like a smoking room. Oh, why don't you do that? Dinks. Oh, like cigarettes. Yeah. It's usually just a balcony. It's usually just a balcony. But I feel like they won't even give you a balcony in fucking Vegas because they think you're going to kill yourself. I know. Isn't that crazy? Because the windows don't open. Yeah. I went to Vegas for my first time last year.

How was it? It was cool. I just, I'm not a part of year, man. I just like staying in the hotel. Folkrum doesn't gamble. I gambled a hundred bucks. I just lost it. Yeah. You didn't make any money back at all like during the process of losing it? No, no, no, no, no. That's why I don't gamble. That shit is such a waste of money, dude. Yeah. But I was going to have. You like gambling, huh? Oh. I like poker. but I like strategy like I'm not really super into the gambling part of it It involves skill

Yeah Yeah Like I do like playing for a lot of money sometimes But for the most part I play like relatively low stakes I just like playing You just spend the money just so you can play the game It's like the money just a part of the game Yeah but the thing is is that I know I'm a winner

In the low stakes tournaments Like if I'm playing $50 tournaments $100 tournaments I know I'm a winner If I play a thousand dollar tournaments I know I'm a loser But it's way more fun I feel that Because it's like if you win a tournament

and you won 50 grand, like that's super exciting. Yeah. You play a small one and you win like a little bit. It sucks. It's like I can't get behind gambling. I don't know. It just seems like like a fulcrum and said like it's a scammington. It is, bro.

It's like the house always wins. The slots are a scamming team. That's why I lost my money. I mean, think about what you're doing every time you play slots. You're literally like just gambling a dollar and your average is like you're going to lose money. You're going to like say it's a 49-51. Because like when you play roulette, that's basically what it is. Like if you get bet on red or black, right?

And it feels like a 50-50, but it's not because there's the zero and the double zero. So if it lands on those, you lose. So it's basically like you're betting money and it's like a 48-52. Over time, it's like flipping a coin where the coin is like slightly weighted to heads. So like over time, you just can't win. Yeah, exactly. But for some reason, people just love the feeling of tapping in. But at the end of the day, it's not that different than like going to the movies, right?

Like if your average amount you lose in an hour of gambling is like 20 bucks an hour, you might spend the same amount of money going to the movies and if you enjoy yourself doing it it's like that that's how to think about it you get a free trip to the Sippington City too the lady comes around brings you a corona and in those ways it can it can be less it could cost less and like the people who are like getting

free hotel rooms and stuff they're all just trying to figure out how to play this game in such a way that they're not losing as much you know or maybe even winning it's definitely fun I feel like the movie is still more of a journey and experience Even if you go and see a shitty movie, the gamble is worth it. You look at a person just sitting in front of the slot machine, just ring, zing, and it's not even that now, it's just, dun, dun, bro, have you seen that clip that went viral recently? It was like, it's kind of depressing, dude. It's like a clip of someone who's filming long ways of like 30 slot machines, maybe more, and there's all these elderly people, and they're all just fucking mindlessly just fucking cranking this lever.

And I was just like, dude, I was like, this is like an ant farm. No, they're not getting Richington. Well, the casino's getting Reachington for sure, but it just seemed like a fucking farm for like for just coins, you know, that they're milking out of these people. It's just all these people are like robots just sitting there just like... It's pretty

trippy in the airport at Las Vegas. They got the slots in the airport. They have them at 7-Elevens too. Yeah, that's so crazy. Isn't that weird? That is so crazy. I remember a couple of times when I was in Vegas I went to 7-Eleven to grab a swish or something and you see people who

You could tell they've been sitting there for a couple hours at this random 7-Eleven at the slaw machine. And you're like, wow, that's crazy. I can't imagine in my life spending two to three hours out of a 7-Eleven slah machine. Okay, his mic, I can't hear it again. We've got to really figure this shit out. It keeps cutting out. With the tit milk, man. Or is it working?

Yeah, there you go. All right, that's going to ask you this, though, since you say you started smoking around 16, you were still in high school. Were you ever smoking in school while you were, like, you know, attending class or something? No, that didn't start until my senior year. Like I got my medical card when I turned 18, probably like my last semester of senior year. You were 18 in high school with the medical card? Yeah. That's far.

And then I would just, yeah, drive to Berkeley and then get some wax pens, get some pre-rules. I'd bring the wax pen to goddamn school. I almost didn't graduate high school. Because you got in trouble for weed? No, just because I was ditching all the time. I almost didn't graduate. I had an F in algebra too. I had to raise it to a D for me to graduate

And the only way I could was if I got like a hundred on the test Were your parents on your ass? Like you better fucking graduate Or you kicked out of the house or some shit Were they on your ass? Like with this whole YouTube stuff Were they telling you like get a real job? Like what do you?

Like I said my mom thought I was going crazy A few months ago when I quit my job. She thought I was going insane. Does she believe now? Yeah, nowadays like she's proud of me. She's proud of me. She's a great mother. I love my mom.

So does Folkram consider himself a fashion icon, or do you feel like a fashion minimalist? I wouldn't consider myself a fashion icon, but I fuck with streetwear since I was a, like a teenager for sure. Right. Yeah. How into it are you, though? You spend a lot of money on it? Recently, I've just been buying all this shit I've been wanting since I was a kid. Like I got a pair of Margellas and shit

Damn I wanted them bitches since I was a kid But yeah in high school I bought like Supreme and shit You got the off white ones on right now huh Yeah shout out to Virgil Rest in peace Folkrum is a drippy god

As far as I could tell I would say so You seem like a casual like drip dude You know I feel like a lot of people When they wear a lot of stuff It just seems like they're a little bit trying too hard Or just you do it like very casually I don't know.

Yeah, I like the minimalism. That's why I really like acne studios because they don't really brand too hard on their shit. You know, this is a question I want to know. Do the ladies love Folkrum? Like, I just wonder. God damn it, shouts out to all the queens out there. All the bad queens best believe it.

So do you get a lot of attention from women in general? Like, what's the Folkrum love life like? This is something I don't know about you. I don't know. I'll be Chilinton with the girls in tings. you feel me? I'll be focused on my purpose and mission primarily, you feel I mean?

No girlfriend? No, not currently. I haven't had a girlfriend in years. Do you get girls hollering at you though? Like, with the newfound fame, are they reaching out? Yeah, like girls who didn't fuck with me back then type shit. No way.

Most definitely. That's funny. How do you feel about that, though? You're going to fuck them out of spite, or are you going to just let them leave them out to drive, leave them on red? You're hell of funny, my friend. I don't know, it's kind of trippy.

All of this shit is trippy to me. Like, I'm mind-blowing every single day, but all I can fucking do is keep posting my videos. I can't slow down or change anything. Just because I got this traction in a couple months, you know? Right. I got to keep doing what I'm doing. You're not, like, looking for a relationship right now.

Like, you're looking to just stay consistent. You know what? If something organically happens, then, yeah. Okay. That would be awesome, but... Pause, but I think you could be, like, a model. Like, I don't... Crazy shit's coming up. I could see it. Like, I could just see it. I don't know.

He said some crazy shit coming up. I don't know if I could talk about it. Really? I'll tell you guys after. Maybe I just predicted the future. Damn. I could imagine, like, if Emma Chamberlain can be, like, the face of Louis Vuitton, I think Folkrum could be the face of Nautica Sport. Easily. I could see that as well. Yeah, you're right. You could, like, model clothes or something like that. That's funny. I just want to be the face for the weird kids. I want to

show like the weird kids that this shit's possible no matter who you are like real shit I'm not better than anyone else at the end of the day I'm just rinky than regular road folkroom but when I feel like now you're quickly becoming exposed to all these people who are building crazy ass businesses off of social media and stuff so I feel like you're going around aiden ross or you're going on yolo stream or you're coming here and you're like seeing all these different possibilities and shit has your mind kind of open to like what the fulcrum brand could be all about uh now that you're sort of getting exposed to all these people who are successful yeah most definitely most definitely 2023 is going to be a crazy year it's going to be fucking crazy gonna do my first show out here oh shit

what venue i'm i'm not too sure yet what it's happening who do you think it would be with like who could you imagine it's gonna be with my homie uh brusho from new york he's my homie been producing for him since like 2018. He's the goat. Legendary. Yo, I wanted to ask this too, is you were talking about

how you're not really much of a party or like specifically in terms of drinking. Were you ever? And how did you kind of arrive at not being into it? I like drinking. I like drinking,

but I don't like being in a club. I don't like being around hell of people. I just like being in my own little zone like smoking my pack, you know? And yeah, probably the last time I went to a serious party was in 2017. Really? Yeah, it's been a long time. I don't, yeah, it's not my scene.

But are you getting invited to more shit now, like more social stuff? Yeah, I turn it down and people are like, what the heck, dude? I'm like, I'm sorry, like, I got to watch SpongeBob in the hotel and I got to fucking take dabs, bro. Like real shit. So, okay, tomorrow, Drake hits you up. Folkrum, you're coming to the club with me. We got bitches We got 100 bitches

We got 100 bottles We're coming to the club Let's go We're standing on the couch 100 blunts Blunts in the air Once you get lit enough You go to the club

You get to treat the club Like whatever Is this tempting Or are you like Nah SpongeBob? I'm saying SpongeBob But I'd be like Respectfully Drake

I fuck with your music You feel me like Mm-mm Passionate for miles away Passion with the shit you say motherfucker best believe it. Holy shit. Fuck.

Folkrum, come in. Yup. Yody gang. There's no way he doesn't hit you up after this. He's gonna be like, that was better than my version of that song. No, but real shit, though,

I'd be like respectfully, Drake, I fuck with you. I want to smoke some pack with you and just Chillington or make a video or live stream or whatever, but like the clubbington is not my scenington. I'm sorry, my friend.

I got to be trill. Can I tell you about probably like one of the more clouded up club experiences I've had in my life and how dumb it felt. I was after Jake Paul's fake wedding to Tana in Vegas. I remember that. And so I went to the club with like Jake Paul and like his whole squad and shit, Logan Paul, everybody. And it's like it was a huge outdoor like pool club in Vegas, right? And the section that they had Jake Paul and all of them in was like so separate from the entire rest of the club that it didn't feel like I was in a club at all.

and there was like absolutely no interaction with the normal people at all. But what is the point of that? It felt very weird to me. You're going to the club to meet people, conversate, you know. There was no way you were going to meet anybody. You were just in there with whoever you came with. Just to go show how much money you had. But that's what I would want to do at the club is just chill with the gang.

Exactly. You would love it, actually, from what you're saying, because you're not really, like, forced to do any, like, weird socializing. Because that is the shit that sucks about going to the club or the bar or whatever, is that you just are, like, sort of standing there, like, bump it into everything. everybody. It's all hot. It's fucking weird. It's loud. You got wait in line for the bathroom. But then that's why people spend all the stupid amounts of money to be in the club and have their own section so that they can just sort of like act like they're at home. Yeah, exactly. But then just stay home. It's like, I don't know. Like, no, like, no, but then there's girls who can see you.

I'm just saying that's why they do it. I don't do it. Yeah, exactly. I feel that. Yeah, I don't know. It's like at that point, the whole point is just to go meet people. And if there's a little bit uncomfort, you know, discomforts about a big, you know, about the situation. shouldn't go outside, smoke a cigarette. But I feel like, yeah, you're just trying to meet somebody going on Amel. Yeah, facts. So there's some guy with his dick out on there. Talk to him. What you're going to meet on Omigo is a bunch of kids.

Really? Unfortunately, there is, yeah. And that's what's weird. Every time I go on Amigo, I have the same experience. And every time I'm like, bro, get off of this. Yeah, I'd be telling them, like, you guys shouldn't be on here. Sounds like such a bad mix. Little kids and guys with their dicks out.

It's literally what is. They've got to be getting paired up, right? And how has this, like, not been a huge topic of conversations? don't feel a fuck. Yeah. Well, honestly, it's like... That's why my dad was so strict when I was in elementary school. He didn't want you to see any dicks.

He probably knew about Omagle. Most definitely, he didn't want me go on these peculiar websites. It used to be chat roulette. Yeah. Well, I think that's still a thing. Oh, yeah? We used to go on that in middle school. Did they have, like, a solution so that there's no more dicks?

I heard that they've, like, got AI that detects dicks. You put... I'm not too sure. They put you in, like, a dick section. People try to put, like, you know, they'll put hashtag TikTok to filter it out, but then you'll still come across strange shit. Yo, did you really talk to Sneko? I did, yeah.

How was that? People are saying that they look alike. Yeah, I went on his live stream. How was it? It was cool. It was cool. What did you guys talk about? Yeah, what did you talk about?

Um, shit. Because he's very political. I don't know, so basically, like, the people, I fucked with his videos like hell a long ago type shit. Because he used to be more of a regular YouTuber before he became, He preached positivity and all that stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Some people were upset with me that I did that live stream.

And I just want to let people know that, like, at the end of the day, like, I'm going to use my platform all the time to spread my purpose and mission, you feel on me. And I'll collab with anyone. You know, I'll collab with motherfuckers, like, motherfuckers on the other side, too. Like, real shit. Like, I'm apolitical and I'm a stoner. But I had a good time talking to him. Right. I had a good time talking to him.

He doesn't smoke, I don't think. Yeah, right? He's against it, actually. He preaches against smoking weed. Right. How do you feel about Andrew Tate and him being arrested? Because he's kind of like linked to sneak up. I'm not too, um, like, well informed on it.

He's more like a, I guess he's kind of political, but he preaches more about just like freedom and leaving the Matrix and, you know, some stuff that you talk about sometimes. So you say like, we live in the Matrix. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like, um, yeah, I'm not too well informed on it, but I'm always going to use my platform to let people know the truth. no matter who you are. If you're out there, you could truly do whatever the fuck you want to do.

For most people. You're in school and you want to get your degree. You could get your goddamn degree. If you want to become a rapper, you could become a rapper real shit. You just got to put your energy. You got to put your drive into it. There's a lot of distractions in this life. Yodi family, like real shit.

Keep it pushing. I believe in every single one of y'all motherfuckers real shit. I feel like you not becoming super political is probably like a good idea because it's just a whole treacherous landmind-filled war field out there. Yeah. Most definitely. And you're about positivity. You don't need to get in the fucking trenches and be arguing about Andrew Tate's validity,

even though we just tried to get you to. Politics and positivity don't really mixed that well. For a lot of influencers, talking about politics is like the moment when people stop liking them. Yeah, I kind of went through that a little bit too. Not to put you in the influencer box, but does that feel like something that accurately describes you, feel like an influencer, or does that sound crazy to you? I feel like it could be an accurate description. But I would consider myself more like a content creator, regular old folkroom.

How do you feel about like dealing with the, because now the tax season's coming up, how do you feel about like dealing with the whole tax side of being like a content creator where you got to put your money aside to fucking pay off, you know, the taxes at the end of the year. You don't have anyone actually taking it out of your paycheck. It's like you've got to take it out yourself. And it gets tricky. It's not first year doing that shit. Bro, it gets tricky and like you really got to be on top of it.

And you got to find a guy really who can kind of help you, you know, go through the fucking thing, the whole process. But yeah, how have you been like dealing with that shit? Have you been like putting money aside every time you get a YouTube check? Yeah, most definitely. Okay, that's smart. That's smart. I definitely need to find someone who can help me, though.

Have you had those checks sometimes, especially in the beginning where you're like, I'm going to blow a bag? Like, I'm just, I got $2,000 bucks. I'll go buy a $2,000 belt, you know, or like a $2,000 pair of pants or some shit. No, I never, I never started splurable. And getting stuff I really wanted until recently. So recently. When you're comfortable probably, right?

Like more in the zone we could probably feel like you could do that. If somebody give you a million dollars right now, what would you do? I don't, I never want to, I don't think I would live a super extravagant life. To put it in the bank? Safety net. Yeah, you know, I would probably move into a decent, like, rental home or something shit, you know? I feel like the two things most people do is they would switch up. their home and they would probably upgrade their car. Yeah. And that everything beyond that seems a little

crazy. I'm so happy with my car and I don't even drive anything crazy. I drive a 2013 charger. Yeah, but I used to drive a 1996 in Nissan. You get pulled over a lot in the charger? That's like the rapper car of choice or at least it was at one point. No, I got pulled over in Glendale probably three weeks ago and they searched my car. Because it stunk like weed? No, because my plates were expired. Oh, shit. Damn. I feel like Glendale's one of those places where if your car stinks like weed, they might search your car.

And I had like, hell of weed because that's like when I touched down into L.A., all these brands gave me like so much shit. They're like, what are you doing with all this shit? I'm like, it's for personal use. I make YouTube videos. I just had to tell them the truth. Like, how much money do you make? How much are your shoes?

I was like, that's irrelevant. How much your shoes? That's crazy. I was like, that's irrelevant. You think they were just fucking with you, like, trying to get you to slip up and say some stupid shit? Well, if you're walking around with Hela packs and you have have nice shoes on. But were they tripping about the weed?

Like what were like... They weren't. They were not tripping about the weed because like, I told them like straight up this mind like job. Yeah. Like smoking weed is my job. I work for the plant. I work for the plant. Right.

And the cops are saying what to that? Yeah. They definitely thought like, they're like, damn, this world is going to shit. Smoking weed is my job officer. I mean, the cops in California, like, let's be real. They got a lot of shit to deal with. I feel like if you're smoking weed, if your car stinks like weed, you got to really be fucking out to get them to like really fucking trip on you yeah that's the least of their worries

nowadays then also but they're looking for a gun or something exactly that's what they were looking for and honestly it usually when someone travels around you know on a consistent basis with many many packs they probably do have some sort of protection on them so they probably are you know immediately curious and suspicious of some other shit going on but how long did you have to describe like how long was the where you're like hey man i just came to l.a all these brands gave me this free stuff i'm going to my hotel room to get high i was being very vague with them they kept trying to ask me, like, a lot of personal questions. I was like, it's irrelevant officer.

Like, I'm just trying to be on my way. I didn't do anything illegal. Like, I literally just renewed my place. They're on the way. And they verified that shit, too. They're like, oh, yeah, he did. That's cool. Yeah.

You're being, like, you know, responsive. I mean, like, you're being cordial, at least, I mean. Yeah. How do you decide what weed brands to work with and shit, since I feel like you probably get hit up by so many that it might be kind of overwhelming? I love it when the relationship is organic and it's not, like, too businessy, you know when there's like a mutual benefit you know and they're showing that they value me and then I can bring value to their table as well you feel me like it's a mutual exchange like I get product

and that's just how it is it's got to be organic whenever it gets like to a businessy that's when I like because when I have been to some like weed conventions and shit dude it's kind of weird because what do we smoke we smoke fucking weed in a backwood or in a spliff it's like very simple But then you go to these weed conventions and there's like a million different weird-ass brands trying to sell you some weed pills, some weed drink, some weird, like new vape technology, whatever. And then like even the weed convention that I went to recently in downtown LA, you couldn't even smoke weed in there. So it doesn't smell like weed anywhere. Yeah. It was just weird.

And every brand, like none of the brands look like cookies or runts or any shit like that. It's all like it looks like fucking Twitter or like a startup or some shit with like these super clean logos and stuff. Yeah, like an Instagram page or something. The game done changed, dude. The weed game, there's different sides now. What's your favorite strain? I don't know. I feel like the weed world has always had novelty items.

We've always seen the lollipop pipes. We've always seen the weird little weed items. And I feel like that whole part is exploded because people are buying flour and dabs, all that stuff. But if you have like a homie or a home girl or like a girlfriend, you want to get her some funny weed product, like they got drinks, they got edibles. They got all these weird interesting things now where it seems like I would agree with you. It seems like they're wasting their money.

Like, who are they selling these things to? Because they're trying to create these categories. Because if the game just stays selling weed in packs, like, it's not really like, they're not going to build brands off that. They want to, like, create products that people are going to love. Yeah. You know, it's kind of like a different game that they're trying to turn it into. I saw Dan Belzerian, he, when his, I think he stopped his weed brand.

I'm not sure if it's still going on. They mostly do nicotine now, he said. Okay, that's what he switched it over. The vape pens and shit. When they were doing the weed, I saw he came out with a THC toothpick. that were three milligrams each is what it said. So you pick your teeth and you get a dose of THC apparently. Wow, what the hell?

I thought it was the funniest thing I've ever seen. You know they got THC chew. Yeah. They got everything because they're trying to create categories. What are you showing though? It's just like a little pouch and you suck on it. That's how I felt back in like 2008 I went to the corner store in New York and they had caffeine chips. Like energy chips.

And I'm like, No one wants this. Nobody needs this. You just thought this up because you're trying to make money. And I respect it, but nobody is going to fucking do this. They should sell caffeine like just like in a white powdery form. I think they do. You can just buy like caffeine pills, but there's, you know?

You said, what the fuck? Oh, you're talking about coke. No, but I'm saying like you can just buy caffeine pills. Okay, that makes more sense. Even at the gas station, I think. But none of us think of that. For some reason, we all go to caffeine and like drink form. I feel that.

ever experiment i know you're from the bay area right like technically it's known for you know thizz and exosy and all that stuff have you ever experimented with excessy or any of the upper drugs no i'll tell you guys straight up the only drugs i've ever done was xanax shrooms and like weed and then like i did dxm a few times what's that it's like the goddamn robitussin oh actually yeah i've sipped real lean too a few times like a just a few times? Yeah. I'm not a huge fan or?

I never just, I never got into it too heavy, so I never thought like, why would I get into it now if I've done it before, you know? I saw somebody saying that on the timeline the other day. There's this girl talking about taking pre-workout before she went to the gym and somebody just responded and was like, if you get into it, you're going to have to quit it at some point and it's probably going to be pretty hard to quit. So you should probably just not get into it. Pre-workout?

Yeah. It's like, you know what it is? It's like this powder or whatever that people take before they work out. And it's basically like supercharged caffeine and all this other shit that will make you have gnarly ass workouts. But it's like if you get used to taking that before your workout, you're going to have to quit it at some point because it's obviously unhealthy and shit. And that's pretty much the best advice for like pretty much any drug. People drink that shit when they're not working out too. Like pre-workouts.

A lot of like the energy drinks now are just as powerful as that shit. Wasn't that cratim? Like didn't they make cratim for like a workout? Was it like a pre-workout or whatever? Lil Kelby was telling me that cratom puts you to sleep. He said that he was on Creighton when he got his ass beat and he didn't even feel it You know what I'm talking about? You saw that clip? I saw that that was funny What do you think of that? I thought it was pretty funny

You guys are genius What would you do if Yuri got up and started swinging on you like that right now? Oh That would never happen I'd be sad because I'd be like damn Yuri yet I thought you were my my brother Turns out not so much I know Yo but all right if someone calls you a bitch do you have to beat the shit of them? Do you have to fight? Or could you let it go? I I could let it go That was the problem in that whole thing

Is the suspect refused to be called a bitch Some people that's like that line of like You know disrespect is so hard Where it's like once you cross it It's like you've disrespecting me And now it's on camera It's like no it's like I cannot let this slip by You know

And I feel that it's like I didn't grow up like that But some people do grow up like that Where their boundary of respect is so solid They're like dude you cannot fuck with me bro Do not fuck with me at all It's kind of valid You've seen that was sharp when Eliza called him a bitch. I don't remember.

It was just like lights out. Like he was, you know. I don't think I've seen that. It wasn't good. Interesting. He's just the kind of guy where if you call him a bitch, it's just the whole conversation just stops and addresses that. It's a big deal. Or Flacco told 16, suck my dick.

Yeah. Stuff like that. That whole conversation stopped right there. Yeah. I think I've seen that one. He spit on him. Yeah, I've seen that one. Do you watch, like, all the shows or like consume a lot of the content?

So when the recommended videos pop up, I'll click on them. I feel that. Like the clips and shit. Or if it's like a cool-ass interview that I want to see, then I'll watch. Still no word from Baby Tron. That's crazy. That's amazing. You know what happened?

You know what I'm surprised about to hear from you last time we were talking is I feel like a lot of stoner's. And I would say you are a stoner. You smoke a lot of weed. I think we can agree on that. A lot of stoners, they wake up pretty later in the day, like around noon even sometimes. And I was talking to you, and he said he wakes up like at six, seven in the morning or like even eight. I was like... Yeah, I woke up at six today.

Well, what time you go to bed? That's insane. Shit, sometimes nine, ten, eleven. How? He's getting eight hours, you know? Out here, though, when I've been in L.A., I swear I've just been eating, getting faded, and sleeping way too much in the hotel, watching SpongeBob. Watching the SpongeBob movie, watching all the new SpongeBob episodes on a punk bitch. So you're serious?

You really, like, get to the hotel and just, like, like, watch. like find Nick Jr. and just throw on SpongeBob? You find it somehow? I don't even know how you find it. I haven't had cable in so long. So I love like seeing what's on a TV. Like I'll turn on the news channels type shit. That is fun in the hotel. Yeah. All the advertisements on the adult channels just be like some serious ass shit. If you got this health problem, take this bill. You got this health problem. Take this pill. I'd just rather watch SpongeBob, bro. Like if you put, but then you're watching commercials for like kids toys and shit, right? And it's fire. Like leg. Or something.

No, but when you put on Fox News, those ads start scaring you. Like, they are bad for the vibe. Scary ads, bro. Because they want you to buy life insurance. They want you to buy medication that's going to make you feel better. They show heck of sick kids and shit. Yeah. Yeah, that's the worst.

Just like trying to convince you to, like, give money to these starving kids. That's going to make you feel like shit. It's so sad, bro. Like, damn you're crying watching the advertising. Like, what the fuck, the ones, you know what bums you out is the ads that are like, Are you being sexually harassed in the workplace? Or like, is your boss doing this to you or whatever? They're basically trying to convince you to team up with them for a lawsuit.

That's bad vibes, dude. I don't want to fucking hear about that. If you were in this event, then you are entitled to this compensation. Yeah. Call this number. And that's one thing that's good about at least YouTube, and especially YouTube when you have YouTube premium so you don't see ads all the time, which I don't even know what the ads are like on YouTube because I had premium for so long.

But at least you don't get that kind of shit, right? No, no, no, no. Bro, the ads are so cultivated on YouTube. It's insane. You saw the ads on YouTube? I still have half. You're a fucking shithead because you're a streamer. So you're disrespecting your audience because you guys are watching videos together and you still go to watch that.

I have an ad blog. Oh, well, that's fucking. Yuri. Oh, I'm sorry. I have ad blog. You can't be a content creator and have ad block. It's hypocritical. You want the people at home to be having ad block off?

No, but it's like I'm not going to force them to turn it off. It's like, but then some people really, I've had people tell me like, yo, Yuri, I sit there and I watch the full advertisement every time. Yeah. So you can get the most... And you're not giving other people that privilege. Oh, my God. Are you mad that I don't watch...

Okay, I'll whitelist, no jumper, and I'll keep that blocks on. Is that fine? I just... It's amazing to me that you felt like it was okay to say that. I feel like that's like an unsaid thing with content creators is that you never admit to using ad blog. It's like cheating on your wife. Everyone knows. It says it up in the top right corner.

You could see the logo. I know. And that's why back when I first started streaming, back when I before they had YouTube premium I fucking made sure I turned ad block off right away because I didn't want anyone at home to see that I had been using it Wow wait so you take this to offense the fact that I have ad block on No I'm just faded

You guys want to smack the woodjaman or no I'm cool I'll smack it let's go I'm gonna leave you two alone no homo for a second so I can take a piss Oh shit okay it's Giddington it's Giddington Um shit well here uh oh there you go okay Whoa whoa whoa is it good? Yeah.

We'll cut this part out as well. Oh, there we go. I think we should be good now. Oh, shit. One thing I wanted to ask you is the last time I was talking to, I'm not sure if this is on stream or not, but like you said, you live in Antioch, right? And it's like a way different vibe than Los Angeles. There's like farmland and it's like very slower, you know, lifestyle type shit.

And I feel like usually when people come from that type area, they want to go to the big city or, you know, move out. And I was talking to you and you were like, I don't really the fuck with, like, L.A. You're like, I kind of like being in my... zone over here, whatever it is. It's peaceful back home. Really? Yeah, I just like the vibes better back home.

What about LA, like, specifically they, like, don't like... It's too many people, you feel me? It's just not my home. I don't want to be here. Really? Yeah, I mean, I like coming here, like, on occasion, like, for work and stuff. But I don't, I don't want to live here. It's too much.

It's too fast-paced. There's traffic's too much, too. I feel that. home it's a lot slower and it's a lot more peaceful. I feel that. So you could see yourself living for the rest of your life in your area or like roughly around your area? I would definitely move at some point. Where?

I don't know. Not like a big city though? Yeah, definitely not. Like somewhere in Kentucky? I want to get some land. That sounds fire on. Would you grow weed ever? Hell yeah.

Really? I wouldn't learn how to do that. Have my own land and grow some weed. That'll be fun. You've probably had many offers of people saying. Get some chickens? Exactly. Free eggs all day?

You know, you just got to pluck them out, I guess. I don't know. Or just hold them. Has anyone ever thought of being, like, a trimmer streamer? That sounds very boring. I don't know. Maybe if you're, like, slapping music and smoking weed and, like... That's what I'm saying.

Okay, like, a lot of people stream them, like, playing video games, and then they're just talking while they're playing video games. And I'm not saying that, like, trimming weed is as interesting as playing Fortnite. But, I mean, it's kind of cool. I could imagine it. You... But the thing is, like, when the... If you're doing it as a job, the person wants you to trim as much wheat as possible in your shift.

That's why you've got to be the boss. You've got to get your own work. I guess. But if you're there fucking streaming and trimming, it's like it's going to slow your production probably. You know what I mean? Like I've had homies over the years, like, a friend from Texas who just like got flown out to some farm up north. And all of a sudden, he's just spending like the next four weeks just working, just trimming weed. And then he comes back with like, I forget, like, eight grand or 10 grand or some shit after like a month.

and like a bunch of weed. And I swear to God this motherfucker spent it all in like an afternoon. She was gone in like a day and a half. On Drippington? Probably bought like some clothes. They like gave money to his fucking family. Like paid off money. Oh, bought a bunch of weed, did some coke.

Boom. It's gone. Oh, my God. That sounds so woke. I mean, the dude I'm talking about, if you knew him, you would not be surprised that he blew through the money that fast. Have you ever had a trimming job? You know what? I've trimmed from my homies.

Like my homie grew some pack with his dad. Oh, interesting. Yeah, I just trimmed for him for free, like, just because he's my homie type shit. And it was hell of fun. But he gave you, like, weed probably or something. Hell yeah, okay. That's what I did. I had like a trimming job where they paid me like in an ounce or a couple ounces of weed.

Oh, nice. It was cool, but I realized then I was like, I can't see myself doing this like for many hours consistently. It's so much work, bro. Your fingers get tired. You got to wear the glove. I feel that. You wear gloves? Because your fingers get insanely

coated with it to the point You almost can't get it all off, right? That's the definition of a finger hash. That's where finger hash came from It's fools will handle hell of weed And that you get this crust on your fingers You rip it off and throw in a bowl. Yeah.

You can't smoke that shit though. Really? You can't? I mean, when I was trimming When I was trimming from my homies Or not the finger hash But when I was trimming from my homies Like, we couldn't smoke it

Right after we trimmed it had to like cure and dry Oh, the weed Yeah. No, yeah, yeah, the weed for sure. You could probably smoke the hash, huh? Yeah, right? Like whatever. No, but when we're trimming it, it's already at that point where it's like ready to smoke. Yeah. Because I feel like they keep the leaves on.

Because I've heard that you want like the buds to soak up all the juices from the stems and all the excess leaves. And then once it's dry, you cut it off. Is the weed lean cool? You fuck with the weed lean? Yeah, it's fun to just pour up in the store. Yeah, I've noticed that you like that. I love going to the goddamn Walmart, going to the goddamn 7-Eleven, and pouring up the weed lean. But you enjoy the high?

It's not like overwhelming, because I've... It is overwhelming. I've gotten comatose at the weed lean before. It's that strong. I actually know it me too. Probably because I drank too much, realistically. So one time, this was, I've worked at two dispensaries. The first dispensary I worked at, we had this one product, 6,000 milligram ice water hash,

jam syrup. Ice water hash syrup. Like, I've drank 1,000 milligrams to the face just a regular, like, T-HC, and it didn't hit me as hard as this one. This shit had me slump for, like, goddamn fucking 17 hours. And I was high for, like, two days.

What's the most amount of milligrams you've consumed one of those, like, syrups? Probably, probably, like, a thousand. Really? I've done 3,000 on stream before, and I gone to that comatose feeling, like, crazy. Pretty quickly. I remember one time I was asked to judge a weed contest, which is like not something that I think I'm prepared to do at all.

You notice that when he asked what my fair strain is, I was like, I don't even know because I have Donnie rolling splits for me. So he's the one who's like more familiar with what kind of weed I like. But they gave me a backpack full of like mad different like little jars of weed and then a bunch of different weeds, sodas and like foods. And so I go to the homie's house because he had a really nice bong setup and proceeded to just like, rip like four massive bong loads and then chug a bunch of different of the weed sodas. And that was like the definitely probably the highest I've ever been in my life. Like my girl said that I was breathing super hard in my sleep. She was like really genuinely concerned for me at that time.

No, you were just oblivied. I was. And how are you supposed to rate the products at this point where you're just like... After you take one bong rip, you officially are like a different person. So that second bong rip, like, how the fuck are you going to judge if that second bong rip got you as high as the first one or whatever? Yeah, you got to. And that's what they really focused on the flavors, I feel like. Because that's the only thing you can notice at that point is like, does this taste good?

I mean, shit, I don't even know. At some point, you're just faded. I didn't even get through half of the fucking flavors, and I was literally almost dead. I think, did you make a vlog about this? I think I've seen this. Yeah, there was a thumbnail of me with the backpack, I think. And then we actually went to that event on New Year's, and it was raining. And I saw Scott Storch play in the rain,

and it was a miserable experience. Scott Storch was there. Terrible. Nothing to do with Scott Storch. Yeah, yeah. But he was DJing. That's just my memory is like seeing Scott Storch DJ. It was raining.

The whole thing was just not that cool. You just faded in a hoe. No offense to Scott Storch. He was the sole cool part about it. I was going to say that part in itself is kind of legendary. Yeah, that part was cool. It's not like I was actually hanging out with him or anything.

I was just like standing there watching him. Yeah. Yo, I was going to ask you this. You probably had hello weed company. I'm hitting you up trying to make a strain from your name. You know what I mean? I'm like have you, why hasn't it happened yet? I'm sure you've had the opportunity.

It's going to happen. Oh. Trust me, it's going to happen. Okay. I'm waiting. I'm waiting for the right time and it's got to happen organically. I don't want to do some shit that I'm not 100% on board with. But it's going to happen.

Very soon we're going to get the Yoddyland, Packington. Shit's going to be fire. That shit's going to be mega fire. I need it. And then when you smoke it, necessarily perhaps. at the end of the day, you're going to be like, yeah, I'm somewhere out in Yodyland, blowing pack all kind of strands, and there is no going back. Motherfucker, best believe it, holy shit. Wow.

I can just picture that on TikTok right now. I feel like you're more of a singer than you are a rapper, because I noticed that in your songs, too. You like to fucking hit the vocals. I couldn't freestyle. Like, I couldn't hop up on this bitch and spit a freestyle. But you write all your own shit. Yeah, it's more, I just punch it in. Hmm.

Like, yeah. Would you ever spin the block and shoot at your ops or like make a drill song or anything like that or no? No, no. That's not Yody Land approved? I mean, shit, I listen to music like that, but I would be lying if I was making some music like that. It just wouldn't be me. Do you ever feel bad when you're listening to some drill music and they're rapping about smoking on some kid that you don't even know? You're singing along and sounds hard as fuck, but then you kind of feel bad.

shit I guess I haven't really listened to that kind of music in a minute I've been listening to a lot of Larry June and baby smooth Yeah they're not Killing anyone really They don't really rap about that shit too heavy

Yeah That's good Can we go back to the Xanax thing Like how did you first experiment with that And what was that period of your life like Shit so that was 2018 That was a peculiar moment of my life

You feel me I was depressed and stressed out at that moment of my life. And then, I don't know, we were just chilling. I was chilling with my homies one night. We were with some girl type shit. And then fucking, yeah, she was like, you guys want to do Zanz?

I was like, we're like, fuck it. Like, fuck it, bro. What do you think it was going to be like versus what it was actually like? Um, shit. So basically, we crushed it up and I put it in a soda, like half a bar for me, like crushed it up putting in a soda. That's a lit way to take it

Like a goddamn little-ass New York Seltzer, so I drank that shit fast as hell And then, yeah, then I took some shots of tequila And then basically I blacked out But then I remember Someone with us like didn't do They said they were gonna do it Then they didn't do it

So we had an extra one Then this girl crushed it up And then like me and my homer were like Fuck it and then we snorted the rest, bro Oh my God That combined with the tequila Yeah, bro Sounds like you weren't waking out

Up anytime soon. This is your first time doing it? Yeah, and then goddamn I had like a half ounce of weed and then I just woke up the next morning. I was like, fuck. I was like, fuck. I need a blunt. And then I look at my drive. Where the fuck did it go?

And I was looking through my Snapchat memories just rolling that shit up like a fucking idiot. The Xanax version of yourself is definitely not leaving enough weed for the next day. I'm kind of surprised. I feel like the first time someone takes like a pill, they'll just, you know, consume the pill and just drink some water. Not Yodi land. That's just not real. I'm just talking about Minecraft. That was a Minecraft experience.

You know what I mean? They got Zanz in Minecraft? Yeah, that was a role play, Minecraft experience. Not real life. The kids, it's not cool. Don't do that shit.

You feel me, it's not cool, bro. I haven't done that shit since 2018. Would you do a Zan with Dream? No. I wouldn't do a Zan. It's not cool.

Yeah. But like, okay, you kept going after that, though. You had that disastrous night. Then you kept going? Like,

when did you decide to stop? I just realized. I was like, bro, I'm kind of losing myself. And then, like, something took a hold of me, and then I was like, I don't want to do this anymore. And I just stopped doing it. I didn't get too deep. I didn't go off the deep end too much. That's good.

Yeah, it's good you have that in you to, like, kind of stop yourself and think about, you know, how bad it was. But were you consuming, like, daily? Or were you like... Maybe at, like, every other day, like, the last part of it, you know? Jeez. Just by yourself or, like, with your friends? Yeah, just in my roomington, making beats and shit. Okay.

I feel that. Xanax is like evil weed. Kind of, yeah. It's kind of like weed, but it just has this like evil layer to it. And I was taking some fake shit. Oh, shit. That's not good, yeah. Fuck yeah, we're buying it for some girl, like, selling it for $5,

getting it from some dude who probably made it in the garage. When did you realize it was fake? Fuck. Probably like well after I quit. Oh, really? Yeah, like, yeah. Damn. I feel like 2018 is when, like, fentanyl is already around, too, so it's good thing.

Definitely. Yeah, it's good thing you never fucking. came across one of those that's dangerous as fuck i remember one time in Vegas the the homie from the uk bought like five hundred dollars worth of coke and then it ended up being fake and you just did it all anyway oh my god but like not even like fentanyl it was just like baby powder or some shit he just did it all anyway just hoping there's a fucking speck of real coke i don't know maybe it had a little bit of something that had a little bit of something that was making them feel good jesus but uh you know uh you said that you're

planning to do a 24 hour stream last time i'm talking to speak in yuri's language Oh, I was trying to, um, forget about that. Oh, shit. No, once I move into my new spot, I'm going to do a 24-hour stream. I still live with my mom. Really? Yeah, I'm moving out soon, though. How do you think that's going to change you, not having your mom around?

It's going to be way better for the live streams, like me having my own spot. Like, the live streams are going to be crazier. But do you and your mom get along well? Yeah, I love my mom. My mom's the goat. Really? My dad's the goat too. Your mom's 420 friendly? Yes.

They're not together anymore? No, they divorced in 2016. Yeah. Was that tough for you, or are you old enough that you didn't really care that much? It was kind of tough. I didn't understand why, but then, I don't know. I feel like everything happens for a reason. If that shit didn't happen, I wouldn't be the person I am today,

and they shouldn't have stayed together if they didn't get along, you know? I mean, that's a weird part of growing up is realizing that your parents are just people like you and that they go through human shit and that... And no parent is going to be perfect,

but if both of your parents did the best they could and they're in your life, then motherfuckers is super, like, blessed. Right. That's true. It's hella blessed. There's people who just don't care to try at all,

you know what I mean? Like, not even a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They'll just forget about you. Humans are perfect, bro. Is this a typical Yodiland roach? You're leaving like an inch and a half on these. Is this like you stop smoking pretty early?

Damn, you got some nice weed right there. Still left over. You could throw that in the next one, right? Eating tin it? He's the man. I've seen him inhale two huge roaches. You were trying to convince me to eat a fucking roach on the live stream. Oh shit, yeah.

I was trying to convince him last time to do a Wu-Tang and he's like, fuck, no, never. Dude, I have a reel that I think is still on my Instagram of Yuri blasted through two of them in a row. Oh yeah, I did two of them in one day, then did like, and then I told him I ate a blunt with a fork and knife one point, and that was the worst thing ever. Exquisite. No, it was, it looked exquisite, but it didn't feel exquisite.

The next hour or two, I felt very nauseous. A blunt, you just like chewed it up? Yeah, someone specifically requested it like, yo, if I donate $100, well, you roll up a blunt and eat it with a fork and knife? And I was like, got you. $100? Yes. That doesn't sound worth it.

I thought, it was. What was that? I don't know. Sometimes I'll just get this energy and I have to let it out. I feel it. I like it. No, yeah.

You know what to remind me of those emo people dancing under the bridge? They're not emo, the goth. The goth people, sorry. Okay, all right.

Sorry to make that. Shut up to the emo people. It's the same thing, honestly, in most people's eyes. No. I know you've gone through this argument before. You go to an emo show? Yeah, I know.

Doesn't it sound familiar? You go to an emo show and a got a goth show. You fuck with AIFI? AFI. I mean, a little bit. I know a few of their big songs, but not like a huge fan. You fuck on?

They're the first concert I ever went to. They were dope. They were like weirdly like goth type punk though. Never heard of them. Really? You should check them out, bro. Miss Murder. A. FI. Miss Murder.

Is it? Hey, Miss Murder. Can I? She's beautiful. Beautiful than a hole. Best believe we goddamn. Pity than a hole. Pity than a hole.

Pity than a hole. Pity than a hole. Fuck. Tits. Shit. out here with goddamn Adam and Yuri Whew! Hella faded. Harmonious, man.

Yeah. Bro, yeah, this is a tricy man. This is a harmonious clan. I did not expect to be on this podcast. I appreciate Adam for allowing me to be a part of this. This is legendary. I know, this is legendary. You got a harmonious tan.

Call him harmonious Dan. He used to do Harmonia Zanz. Ooh. Chicken Nugget swag. I'm smoking weed from Iran. I got a bucket in a rag. I saw a gun and I ran. He really isn't a freestyle.

I know. You just got to let it go sometimes. You just got to like, you know, let the words take over your mouth slash body. Yeah, sometimes when I'm off the Hennessy are freestyle on the stream. I mean, it is kind of weird to just start freestiling and just expect your guest on the podcast to just start doing it with you. I know. I know it's kind of a thing on here that we just do sometimes, but it is kind of weird for us to just expect him to fall in line. Bro, sometimes Hal's phone and Blasie be going off in the chats like wants me to jump in.

like, dude, I'm not on this caliber to just hop in and like make this sound good. I'm going to be like, you know, same thing. Chicken nuggets. Fucking. Chicken nuggets swag. I don't know what to say. But no, yeah, I feel that. Yo, what's your like, out of all the videos you've done, what's your worst memory, like,

of like the worst experience where you came out to film a, you know, a video for the YouTube channel and you went home going like, holy shit, that was a fuck. That was a shit show. It was the 7-Eleven interaction when I got pissed at that kid. That's true. I didn't like that shit. I was a dick. He was like a crackhead or something.

He kept calling him autistic. Yeah. He apologized for it, though. I didn't like the way I acted towards him. No, I mean, you felt threatened. I think everybody right then realized that that was like a little bit more of a window into Folkram being a real person and like having real human emotions and not always just having a good time and being positive that you actually, you know, because you don't necessarily

get to see that when somebody's just TikTok in their room talking about life, being all kumbaya. They never got ran up on at the 7-Eleven when they were just. trying to pour some weed lean yeah for real um and that's why i posted it because it was a real interaction like i had i had to show the people like yo this is what took place and it's my most viral video on my channel my most popular video on my channel you ever hear from that guy no but apparently he's still at that 7-11 waiting when i saw that video i was thinking the same thing though when i saw that video i had already watched a couple of your other videos and i knew that you were not this type of person who would say those types of things, you know, like, kind of derogatory mean things, because you know the weight of them.

And when I saw you included that in that video, I was like thinking, he included this for a reason to show, you know what I'm like, not even to show maybe, but like I just thought of the same way, which is like it shows like more realistic side. And then at the end of the video, you did say like, hey, guys, that was wrong with me to use that word. You know, I fucked up. I was just really angry. And I was like, that's real. You know, even like, you made the mistake and you talked about it all in one video. No apology needed afterwards. Yeah.

But like, fuck yeah, bro. Like, necessarily Cain's chicken tenders. Those are the best. Fuck, yeah. Like, I replace the slaw with the Texas toast, God damn it. Do you extra toast?

Yeah. Yeah, fuck the slaw. Nobody wants that. I fuck with slaw. You fuck with the slaw? I do fuck with slaw. You replace the Texas toast with an extra slaw? I don't think I've ever been to Keynes.

What the hell you got to go? Unfortunately, I haven't. But any time I've gone to a place that offers slaw, that's like I'm getting it as a side. You would fuck with Keynes. It's heavenly. Would you focus on Russia? food?

Maybe. Like it's like caviar, like, you know, fish eggs. It's not as good as... Why are you talking about caviar? We're talking about canes. It costs like eight bucks. I'm not sure if I would mess with the Russian food. I'm gonna be real.

I'm kind of a picky eater. Really? I remember I was with these Russian girls when I was in Moscow and like it took forever. I was so hungry. We didn't eat until like 1 p.m. or some shit. And we finally get to the spot.

And it's just soup. No. It's just like red soup. soup, borsh. Borsh. That's fire, bro. After a long day being hungry,

that's... And they were like, mm, this hits the spot. This is it. And I'm just like, dude, I'm an American. I want like five eggs,

two pieces of toast and a bunch of meat. Bro. I don't want red soup. I think we eventually got some, like, more substantial food, but it was not much.

You chose to starve and you didn't eat it? I ate some, but I mean, it wasn't exactly satisfying. It's good, it's fire. It's fire.

It's good shit. Not when you're starving. I try shit, but sometimes I'll just take one bite and be like, nah. You just over it. Do you have anything from your past that you're like worried is going to come up that maybe we should just intercept right now? You want to apologize for anything that might leak in the future? Not necessarily. There's always that narrative, though, with YouTubers where they're like beloved and then something comes up.

And they're like, oh, he said that he loved Hitler on Twitter in 1994. Oh, my God. Just want to like try to like articulate The purpose and mission Is always the same Trying to let people know the truthington Mm hmm The truthington

Bro you know what I'm really I'm jealous of you for Is the fact that you Have the easiest age to keep up with Because it's 20, 23 Yeah He's 23 So 2018 you were 18

It's just so easy to fucking I was born 99 Oh interesting okay You have like the perfect age group Where your age goes along with the years Yeah. Interesting. You know what? I was always lucky like that too because in 1999, I was in ninth grade. Oh, really?

Yeah. In 1991, I was in first grade. Did you watch Star Wars when it came out in 1999? No, but I know that that's where you got your name from. Yeah. Really? Yeah. I didn't know that. Bless you. I was in my mother's room when she went to. Oh, bless you. Thank you. Thank you.

I was in my mother's room when she went to see Phantom Men and in the theaters. Damn. You know what? I'm lying because I actually went to the movies when I was in eighth grade with a bunch of people and saw that. But I remember not really liking it

and I remember like a few years before that I had tried to watch the first Star Wars and just really like I didn't get into it and that was basically like when I decided I'm just not going to watch Star Wars and I haven't tried since. You should watch realistically. I would like to because I don't want to be left out of the conversation.

It's fucking woke. Is woke good? Yeah. What's your definition of work? Like awesome. I like that definition. It's really awesome, Ben. That's sick.

Hell yeah, I fuck with that. I've heard you say before when we're hanging now, you're like, I'm a bot. And I was like, what do you mean by that? You're like, I don't know, I just, I'm just a bot. I was like, what do you mean? You're a bot, dude. Sometimes I'll just be saying that. I feel like we all can be bought sometimes.

You feel we're human beings. human being like we're not perfect type shit no that's true but when you go around smoking weed in the in the Walmart are you the mpc or is everyone else an mpc well the joke is that like i am yeah yeah that's patrick cc kind of articulated that you're like the random guy who's just smoking weed in the walmart for some reason yeah yeah yeah but i love doing that shit that shit is so fun nowadays it's harder though nowadays it's harder kids follow me and shit but when you're doing those videos and you're like kind of like selecting from a relatively limited uh menu of different catchphrases that kind of makes you have a little bit more of an

mpc vibe at that moment too because usually the mpc only says so many things that's true yeah how you feel like i i don't know it's kind of scary huh have you seen the have you seen chat gpt chat no i don't even know what that is it's basically like new AI thing where you just ask it like any question and it spits out answers that are like really good. Like if we were to ask, type in like, who is fulcrum? It's probably going to like, it's going to search the web and it's going to search social or whatever and it's going to give some like kind of scarily good answer of who you are. Wow, that's crazy.

What's even crazy is you can actually go there and be like, hey, make a make an article talking about how fulcrum influences the kids to do bad things. And it will find all this information about you. you and make a realistic sounding article like one of us wrote it about how you're a terrible menace or whatever it can fit whatever narrative you spit at it that's pretty crazy you could if you asked him why is full come a bad guy and there was an article that was about him being a bad guy for sure it's just going to go off that and that's the scary part is that it could just totally feed off misinformation you know well did you see the thing about the video game uh thing

where like basically one of us some dude used that uh chat gpt thing and he told it um make an article talking to how this game called Metroid it was where the lead characters is going in Samus. He said, make an article talking about how a Metroid kind of pushes sexism and misogyny and like all these negative things, right? A video game. Just to see how it does, right?

And it fucking pushed out like a two-page article bringing up all these things about how they use a female character and they sexualize her and they do these outfits. And like it brought up all this information. It knows it's a female character. It knows it has all these images to reference. Like it's kind of insane. I'm going to start a channel or maybe.

Maybe I'll just show my channel where I just asked the chat GPT, when did blank fall off? Or why did so-and-so's career take a shit? And it's going to give me a fucking script that's basically going to be like a sunny V2 video. And then I just read it into the camera. And if I get a million views, that proves that the AI is fucking here to stain. Dude, that would fucking work. And you know it would work. I've been hearing about AI beats.

Really? Oh, for sure. That's got to exist. Yeah. I haven't heard about it. That makes sense. Like AI. Yeah.

Like, goddamn producers will utilize AI. Does that scare you? Like, do you think it's good or bad? No, I feel like if you utilize it, it could be fire.

Okay. In certain ways, not like the whole beat would be, like, generated by someone else. Yeah, but what is it? What do you mean, like, you tell a certain sound

that you want? I don't know, like it would generate, like, melodies or some shit. Oh, interesting. Think about it, like, an average producer, making beats it's kind of like making just like a ton of different versions of like the same beat right

sometimes so doesn't it kind of make sense because they're already like buying loops off of other people so that they have these melodies to work with and shit so is it really so different to just tell a computer like hey make a version of this last beat I made but make it you know 30% different yeah yeah yeah yeah or like totally makes sense fucking fuck type beats at that point you'd be like you know hey oh hey make me a beat like this. Yeah. Exactly. Different instruments. That might not exist already, but it's definitely coming.

I saw people were already utilizing. I think you were talking about it with the t-shirt blinks, or whatever, where people would just tell it like, hey, man, make me a t-shirt with a trucker and a bald eagle and fire flames in the background. And it looked like some Blassie-type image. Wow. And then you just, boom, you got yourself a free graphic. And I was trying to think, I was like thinking about this like, people were scared of AI,

you know, robots taking other people's jobs. But now I feel like designers, maybe even graphic designers. I know they have a name. kind them and like a whole they have credentials and all this stuff but if someone's really trying to you know pinch a penny and try to save some money they could hit AI with the you know the graphic ideas and dude that's what the artists are scared of is that their jobs are going to be lost to people making AI designs for their merch and flyers and shit like that and it might not be that long because if you know about all this shit you already like those apps to people you feed your Instagram into it or

whatever and you pay like eight bucks and then that's what they gives you all these like crazy custom ridiculous looking images of you that people could totally like make merch out of or whatever and that's just like a job taken away from a graphic designer the question is is like that okay or not because to these artists they're fucking furious and i've noticed all that schools are banning that chat gbt shit because if you're a kid you could if you ask them like if you write into that shit tell me about world war two it's going to write something that's way better than what the average fucking ninth grader is going to write and not only that it's original your teacher has no way of cross-referencing with anything else to see if you've cheated or not so that's a new challenge yeah

that's a new challenge the teachers are going to have to somehow be able to check if this shit was written by the a i. which is that's what the fuck are they going to figure it out when a kid is a kid is not a professional fucking author yeah you know they're if anything it's like it's going to be too good and that'll tip the teacher off but that's kind of weird i got in trouble in fucking 10th grade in my AP English class. I was writing an essay. It was like the summer homework assignment, but I straight up plagiarized my homie's assignment.

He was in a different class though. Right. And you got away with it? No, I uploaded it to some website, and then she called me, she was like, I need to speak to you after class. She's like, A, so yeah, it says here that all these sentences are utilized

in so-and-so's essay in this other's class. Wow. In the other person's class. But how the fuck did the teacher even know that? Because the website, like, it's all linked together. They, like, they probably upload it, like, yeah, to their system and it all. When I was in school, I was still, like, literally writing things with my hand and then handing it in. So, to me, I just realized, like, oh, he's talking about, like, of course that would be easy to do.

There's probably computer programs that just, like, detect that shit. Yeah, yeah, exactly. That's fucking smart. Damn. And yeah. Have you ever got caught smoking weed in high school? No. Never?

Because I didn't smoke too much weed in high school. You said it was like towards the end of your senior year? Senior year, yeah. I remember I used to like when I, um, dad pens came like 2012, 2013 and I was in high school when like that there wasn't even no dad pens yet. If you wanted to smoke weed in school, you had to, you know, smoke out of a pan cap or bring a bowl or a joint or whatever. I remember me and my friends would be smoking like blunts and joints inside school and

it seemed kind of like a normal thing. It seemed like there was like five other groups that I knew of that did the same thing. You find a little corner and you just go puff away. Hell no. That's so, yeah, that would not fly it. The high school I went to. Really? You didn't see any other kids like going, like some other stoners doing this shit?

They were getting trouble. Really? Yeah. That's interesting. I wonder if it's just because Howard High is so fucked. Probably. He said he was taking ecstasy every morning before a home room. Oh, yeah.

Oh, that's woke, man. That was an awesome. Yeah, it was woke for a... Woke does mean awesome, but it more means like the truth. If a girl's trying to slurp you up and she says she wants to film it for her only fans, are you just like, no? No, I'm not with it. You wouldn't let your body be exploited in that way? I just wonder, like, because I feel like that's got to happen a lot now.

No, not to you, but just to anyone, you know? Have you had people, have you had people hit you up where like you don't want to, you know, fucking collaborate with them for whatever reason? even though they might have a good enough audience, you're just like, I don't know about this one. Not necessarily. Not necessarily, I don't think so.

That's good. Yeah. When did you get your driver's license? When I was 16 years old. Bro, everyone, like my girlfriend's from that area, everyone in that area has to get their license like at 16 because you live in like,

but fuck nowhere farmlands. You got to drive so far away. Yeah. I feel like everyone out here gets their license at like 18 or if not, if not later. That was a long time ago. A lot of people get the license licenses like in their 20s, even out here. That's crazy.

What's the goat fast food? Cains. Oh, okay. Pains, chicken fingers, god damn it. You feel me four piece box with the fucking extra toast. God damn it. Holy shit. You're not into Popeyes? Nah, sometimes the chicken sandwich is kind of cool, but I'll rarely get Popeyes. Would you eat at KFC?

Nah. My first job was KFC. That's why I brought it up. I was like, would you go back there to eat ever? Because you know what happens behind the scenes. You see how gross it is. The one I worked at was pretty gross. No. Really?

You would never eat there? Yeah, in Minecraft though. In Minecraft, yeah. How much time you actually spend playing Minecraft? Yo, I spent so much time playing Minecraft in middle school. Really? And maybe freshman year of high school. So much time.

World of Warcraft, too. World of Warcraft, I put 3,000 hours in that shit. Minecraft probably way more than 3,000. What do you think it taught you about life? Nothing I don't like playing video games now I can't I can't sit down and play a video game

Unless I'm on stream I'll play Fortnite Okay But I can't sit down and play a video game Really? Yeah You gotta try Zelda or some shit Like a breath of the wild It's fun

Mario card's fun Especially if you love being in Yodiland The video games I feel like go hand-in-hand With that When I'm in Yodiland I like to film Or like make music I feel that Would you join Faze

I fuck with phase heavy Shout out to phase Best believe it God damn it you for me I wouldn't join phase though Because I'm not necessarily a gamer But I'm definitely Affiliated with phase clan

Best believe it You smoked with phase's rain right No I haven't met them But a lot of their members Have shown love For so long Even before I had 100K Subscribers on YouTube

Really? Wow that's fire Fucking shut out to Faye's Blaze He's the goat Rain's the goat they're all the goats, bro. They're all the fucking goat. Do you think?

Faye's goddamn rug. Fays rug. The goading teams. That's crazy they were tapped in so early. Yeah. They're the goats. Shut up to Faze Clean. I wonder how they found your channel.

They must be consuming weed content, obviously. Yeah, but they got to hide their weed smoking. Exactly. I mean, I don't know if they do, but if they do, they got to hide it probably. I don't see why. Well, I guess a lot of the audience are children and parents probably would not want to invest into their corporate company. I guarantee it's in that phase contract.

Can't get, can't go to Yodiland. Yeah. Absolutely not. There's a common misconception though, my friend. Wait, I feel like I have a bugger? I don't see it. I just have to ask.

I doubt our cameras could see it. You want me to dig in there and look at it? Look around, dude. I think I see some Yola in there. Oh, God. Yeah. No, no. You were getting booted up in the bathroom?

Bactoid. Backdoid. Oh shit. Where were we? I completely forgot. I forgot too. Last time I was talking to, you also said you're going to get back into skateboarding.

Are you still planning on doing that? Yeah. I want to get a deck. I'm not going to do this shit I used to do. There's no way in hell. Oh, like the tricks you would try? Like jumping off of like eight sets and shit. Oh, so you were pretty good at skateboarding then.

I was decent in middle school. I wasn't crazy, but I would allie off like eight stairs and shit. Okay. That's pretty good. burial off of like five sets and shit that was pretty good yeah did you like

what are you getting like fucked up is that why you don't want to return to it like yeah I would injure myself quite often I never broke a bone but I would often like hurt my fucking ankle or something you got any footage yeah it's on YouTube it's secret though

it's secret it's unlisted no it's private but it's it's kind of embarrassing drop the footage it's kind of embarrassing come on I don't see why I think it's fun I've showed it on the live stream before when I was hell of drunk.

Oh, okay, I got a tune in. If it's out there, then we'll find it. I heard that, yeah, last time I was talking to, you said, you had, like, finished a bottle on live stream through shot donations? Yeah. Bro, I've been there before. Are you still continuing to do that?

No, no more shot donations. That was a one-in-one-time thing. Oh, that was only once? Yeah, I only did it once. Fuck that. That's like his whole life. Were you kind of? Were you planning on finishing the whole bottle?

Yeah. Jesus Christ. But I did it a hell of quick because they kept donating, like, in the first fucking two hours of the stream, bro. $50 donation, $50 donation. And that's when I had like 40K subs, 50K subs. Like, I remember when I... Yeah, that's when I had like 50 fucking K subs.

Oh, that's when you did that stream? Yeah. I remember when I was doing those types of streams and I lived at my parents, my, mom, my dad would be tripping on the noise level. That'd be like, bro, keep it the fuck down in there. Like, is that why you want to move out? Are you dealing with that? Like, where she's just like...

Our lifestyles kind of collide. Mm-hmm. My sister's raising her daughter and shit. Ah, okay. I fucking love my family, bro. I love my family. Me and my mom get along great. If we live together, we would hate each other.

Yeah, right? Yeah, our lifestyles clash, for sure. Yeah. That makes sense. But I'm moving out. I've been applying at different spots, but it's just hard. I don't have a rental history or anything.

But it's going to happen. I've been applying at hell of spots. Why? Just need somebody. You need a realtor who's familiar with Yoddyland. Yeah. I got to be able to. Below Packington in the spot, too.

That's a challenge. I had to buy this whole building just so we could get high in here. Yeah. That's crazy. It's a beautiful facility. Appreciate it. But like a lot of, you know, office space that a similar company to ours would get to do this kind of content just really isn't. It's not going to work.

If there's a dentist on the next floor, no, they're not going to deal with it. You need a whole private area. You remember Santa Barbara or Santa Monica Boulevard. That was. We could not smoke during the interviews, which would have made interviews like this very hard. Norrie came through with like 30 dudes and one of them faced a joint in the bathroom. I was going to say people are going to the bathroom. They were ready to fucking lynch us after that dude.

That's fucking woke. It was funny. It's so funny because it's like an office building and there's many other companies there. And they went to the fucking hallway bathroom to go smoking that bathroom. That's some Yoddyland. It was crazy. Some hymn shit. The truth of Yodiland.

That's what I was talking about before. the booger. The truth of Yodiland isn't about being faded and just being like fucked up. Yotiland is the present moment type shit. You feel what I mean? Like, shit, I've been sober and been in Yodiland my whole life. Ah. Aw.

You feel me? But, like, what was the item of choice for Yodiland, an alcoholic drink or a blunt? Well, there are definitely tools once you're in the space. Yeah. Paper plane or goddamn woodjaman's valid. I feel that. If you had to give a TED talk, would you get high before it? No, I would, they'd be like, Folkrim, you can't smoke.

Okay? Folkrim, you can't smoke. I'd be like, okay. No, I mean, you could smoke in the car on the way of the air. I mean. No, but they're telling me, Folkram, you can't smoke on the stage. I'd be like, for sure, for show. Right.

In the middle of that bitch, I just whip out my dabbington device and take a dab. Well, that is a good idea, yeah, like that. I have it preloaded. But just generally speaking, if you were facing a wood in the car, do you think that it would make you kind of like self-conscious and weird on stage, or would you just run it? I would run it. I faced a – I was facing woods before I came here.

Yeah, but this is a pretty laid-back environment. Yeah, true. There isn't, like, a audience. I did a live podcast called Kill Tony one time. It's like people come up and, like, from the audience, and they do, like, a couple minutes of stand-up, and then I'm part of, like, a panel where, we have to like review their stand-up and we smoked a ton of weed beforehand and i do not think

it was a good thing for my performance were you like nervous i was just in my head couldn't think of shit to say just felt weird people staring at you yeah dude and you're sitting next to professional comedians and they're like funny as fuck and not high yeah and you're sitting there like a normal human that just does not think of like insanely funny jokes on demand just like feeling so out classed. Was that recent? No, that was like many years ago. Yeah, if you're sitting in a room of comedians, like in your only participation in the conversation is a yeah, no, ha ha, cool. Like, it's going to be called out really quick. Dude, I've done this a bunch of times. We're on podcasts with a bunch of comedians and you just feel like, damn it, like, nothing will make you feel less

funny than that. You're like, what the fuck can I see at this? You got to try to hold it down and just be you, but also like, you got to try to like, you got to hold it down and be you, but you got to try to not, you know, overstep. Exactly. You got to let them be funny and maybe not be all up in the mix all the time. But then they can call you out for being too quiet. And we're like, what are you doing over there? You haven't said a word.

And then it's all, you know, everything's on you at one point. It's like being a normal chick in a room for little supermodels. Hmm. You just start to feel like shit about yourself. You can't help it when everybody's looking like a fucking hourglass figure, you know? Have you ever been to a comedy show, like a stand-up thing? No, I haven't. I feel like you would enjoy it.

shit's funny as hell. You should do stand up. Yeah, my jokes would be hell of fucking dumb. I just start dancing. I like that, though. Come out to a song, do it dance for a couple of minutes. You only got to be up there like eight minutes. That's going to be the longest eight minutes of your life. Hello, my name is. Pretend like I shit my pants or something.

Oh, no, dude. Would you actually show your pants just to get yourself out of there? Like, I have a reason to leave? No, I would just pretend to shit my pants and then take some dabs. I mean, if you're, I was saying this the other day, if your dad, if you're to shit your pants in public you can just always be the funniest fucking dude because what's funnier than that uh getting diarrhea and just going out in public with white jeans on and just

shit in your pants like that's the funniest shit you could possibly do the show you did you did you shoot your pants yeah i went to i went to lows and i was not feeling good i didn't i was going to see you describing one of his videos it's one of my most popular videos on fuck i didn't see this but you you you shit your pants visibly yeah the thumbnails me laid out on the low's floor and you can see my denim light blue pants and the the diarrhea seeped through the denim man was youtube friendly to this yeah they promoted this one they promoted this one i can't believe i didn't know this far they promoted this one shout out to youtube you for me that video is uh definitely interesting they're very irrational in what they monetize and demonetize

yeah it's because yeah it's because of the thumbnail bro it was a good thumbnail it was me laid out on the floor you could see the shit in my pants and then they're I put like a red circle narrow what'd you title it um I had a terrible accident while faded or so I don't remember see there you go you gotta dance around what's actually going on yeah because if you call if you said I got high as fuck and shit my pants it's not gonna work you heard of like tube buddy no what's that

I've been using this Google Chrome extension two buddy since 2019 helps you come with titles it Rates your title out of 100. It lets people know if, like, people search it. Interesting. It will rate it out of 100. It will let you know what hashtags are valid to use and stuff. I remember Cam Grosie's too, buddy.

She told me about a long time ago. No, I remember her use it. She's the one who showed me to use it for tags on your video. But I never knew you could use it for your title. Yeah, they got a keyword score. Interesting. It's pretty dope. And it's like eight bucks a month or like something like that, maybe 15 now?

Oh, no. I paid the yearly thing. Oh, okay. expensive. And that's who told you to put faded in the title? Nah. Or a terrible accident? I just realized that whenever I put faded in the title in a certain way,

it would rate it 100 out of 100. Really? In all 100 out of 100 videos, at first they wouldn't get age restricted type shit. Wow. Interesting. I'm surprised the word faded doesn't get stricken because I did that little Discord interview or like, you know, conversation with you a while ago. And it's just titled Damien Look 9 to 5 interview.

and that shit's demonetized. I reviewed it, got, you know, request the review, and it says, like, confirmed demonetized. We weren't smoking in, but we weren't smoking no nothing.

And the only thing I could think of, it's your name, like Damien Luck 925. I was one of that. Are people's names? Oh, because, like, Andrew Tate in the title,

I'm pretty sure it's like hella flagged. Yeah, 100%. Fuck yeah. And I feel like... There's a lot of names like that. Yeah. I feel like maybe your name might follow. There's a lot of cannabis,

um, content creators who have, like, some weed name in their title. so like they're automatically like it won't pop up because it has some like cannabis in their name or some shit. Yeah. We did an episode on here where me, him and Danny Mullen got really high and we titled it like we got really high or something. Yeah.

And that definitely got age restricted. And I was like, what the fuck was I thinking? Of course I should have danced around it. Yeah. There's like in that context, like no one really titles anything with the word high other than referring to weed. You know what I mean? Should have said we got faded down a hoe. Exactly.

We got obliterated, obliviate. shit those are good ones do you smoke with your mom or dad yeah we're both of them really yeah and do you talk to them like hey past the day you know let's go to dabbington city

like do you talk to them like that yeah sometimes I convince them yeah I talk to them like that too my mom makes fun of me bro like my mom she'll be like Daabington City or she'll be like go outside and be like Bongington City

that's funny that's cool it sounds like you have a good relationship you know with your parents and stuff I can't, my dad does partake in the weed now a little bit, and he used to be so against it. He used to think it was like heroin, but he's been dealing with body pains and stuff

and I've told him about it and he likes it, but I still can't imagine sitting down and smoking with my dad. It seems kind of like it'll be kind of strange. You should do it on live. Oh my God. Smoking with my dad for the first time. Because then they're going to realize how rushing you are. I know.

I just assume. I haven't met your dad, but I feel like he was just probably rushing as fuck. Yeah, I feel like he would want to be there for like five minutes tops. then he'd be over it and be like, what the fuck I'm out of here?

Yeah, he's going to be looking at the chat and they're all going to be calling him gay or something and he's going to be so bummed. They're going to be talking about orange, orange, yeah, exactly. They're going to say every embarrassing thing ever. You've got to hide the chat if your dad's in there. My dad was on my live stream.

Really? How do you feel about the chat? They liked him. They like my dad. He's funny. He's like a spinning image of me. I feel like I'm sneezing it. What the fuck is the chat being like cool?

Because I know they could be sometimes kind of rude or talk. they were saying anything outlandish to your dad. They were being very nice to my dad. That's nice. That's good. Shot to the chat. Yeah, you feel like, have you noticed like a toxic element in your chat or is it mostly positive?

After, um, like, after like this, the mega growth, yeah, there's a little bit of, you know, like, bad vibes type shit. But I just ignore it. You feel me? Like, I've definitely gotten like L trains before. But shit, we're human beings. Like, it is what it is. Is it? It's just like how the internet is. I don't like a game.

Do they call you Lulcrum? Sometimes. Damn. Sometimes. It's just how the internet is, but it's mostly love, bro. Like the Yody gang, I love my fucking community. I love the Yody family. Do you see Yuri trying to, like, roll up your weed here?

I'm not trying to roll. I'm just getting my fingers busy with something. Oh, you're fucking going to try to roll up his weed, dude. No, I'm not. He gifted me weed right there. I don't have to roll this week. I just go out to smell this weed. That's a on.

going theory that I'm such a weed fiend that I just smoke everyone's little leftover. You just proved it. No, I did. I was just fidgeting with my fingers. I just saw it. Fidgetting with my fingers. It just so happened to be on someone else's weed, getting rid of the stem so I can roll it up after. I was not going to roll it up. That's a rumor that Uri smokes

everyone's weed? Kind of. The rumor is more just that Uri is like a bum in general. They like to like kind of perpetuate that stereotype. It has like a very strong odor to it. Like You're the goat. Thank you, you're the fucking goat. I appreciate you. His fans are a little torn.

No, they're not. Break that up right with his weed so you can just like roll up all of it together. This looks amazing. You want to review this Adam? What is it called? Super Runs? Super Runs.

Who gave you this? This is Damien. Nice. Don Murphos. There you go. This is your homie? Yeah, they're family. They're cool.

You want to take a Don't? A gander? You want me to smell the weed? All right. Yeah, check it out. I think it's exquisite. Oh, runs. What are the hottest weed strains to fulcrum?

I like Sunset Sherbert. That's my favorite. I smoke a lot of runs God damn it Let's say you're on a budget, right? What's the least amount of money you're willing to spend on an eighth? Like, how much money do I have? Let's see you have 100 bucks, right?

You buy top shelf when you go on the dispensary, this is the question. If I have 100 bucks to spend at the dispensary, I would rather get two eighths of some fire than get like a half ounce or like an ounce, yeah. Of some mid? Yeah. Interesting. Do you ever pay for weed now or is it pretty much just always

I still pay for weed, but I get a lot of free weed. I love free weed. The thing is with me, man, I smoked a fucking quarter pound in like a goddamn couple days, bro. It must be expensive. They're not giving you that much weed. You get a bunch of weed. You get enough weed for, like, a normal person to smoke, but you smoke like a fucking chimney. Yes.

Necessarily, perhaps, at the end of the day. Bokrum, come in. Yop! Yody, gang, you feel me? Best believe it. Wow. There it is. Let's go.

Swag. Let's go. Swag. Um, shit. I had a whole list of questions. I basically went through all of them that I wanted to ask you. I feel happy with what we've done here. How long have we been going for? Over two hours.

Really? We made it happen. I didn't really. I thought it was like an hour or something like that. I smoked a spliff and a half. I only smoked one spliff. And I smacked your wood. I'm amazed that you didn't piss.

Oh, I know, right? It's because I didn't. didn't drink any rock star you normally piss like every 45 minutes that's true actually i don't think i drink really today other than a starbucks drink but now i'm chilling right now you should hydrate now that we're done no i definitely will well you know when i was just at the porn awards or the porn convention the most hardcore porn star i know she told me in the morning she does a liquid iv and drinks a lot of water and then like an hour before she goes to sign she stops drinking water because it's so important to her that she not piss for four or five hours while she's signing and meeting

fans and I'm like that is like the most dedication I've ever heard of anyone having towards signing autographs she does liquid IV every morning no just when she has to do this like but she cares about not making her fans wait so much that she will like go through all this so that she doesn't have to pee that's insane like that's very impressive you should do this for your podcast you know what I was thinking that like sometimes my podcast I feel like I have to do a bathroom break or whatever Epic, though. Yeah. Drinking water is overrated.

No, no, no, no. Do you have a favorite porn star? No. I've never bought an only fans. That's a good rule to follow. Now that you're rich, maybe you could find one. You think I should just spent, like, drop a rack on some only bucks? Maybe not a rack.

Maybe start with like five bucks. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Damn, you probably got famous-ass only fans girls in your DMs. No, no, no. No? Well, after this, you will.

Do you have, like... I just be in Yodi land. Just don't kick it with Selena Powell. Okay. Do you have, like, past girls that have left you in the dust, and then now they're hitting you back up going on? Like, hey, how you been? Like, what's up?

Nah. Nah. Really? Yeah. When he was broke, they didn't want him. Now he's hot. They all own him. Facts.

Yeah, facts. There's girls who dubbed me in the past and now they want to mess with me type of shit. Do you respond, though? Or not at all. You just think it's funny? I think it's funny, yeah. You know what you do, meet up with him? Steal their wallet.

You think so? That's smart. Go get some gas on their card. TJ6 shit. Yeah. You know what's funny is my girl's like from your area, right? Also the Bay Area. His girl's wall, yeah.

No, don't steal her wall. I was saying that when we first were linking up, I had never met her before. And I just knew she was in the Bay Area. And I thought it was a setup and someone was trying to rob me. Because I didn't know too much about the Bay Area other than bipping and robbers. But I talked to you and you said your area is pretty chill. Even though Annihawk, I've heard it has a pretty bad reputation for it. I always hear about Aniok on Swamp Stories.

There's good and bad parts of Anniok. but Antioch, yeah Anniak is active for show Do you watch Swamp Stories? No, I don't even know what that is. Oh, it's a YouTube channel about all the... Well, they sort of specialize in all the different beefs

between gangs and shit up and NorCal. Oh, wow. So you could learn a lot about... But I feel like Antioch is... I feel like he'd be clowning Anioc and being like, oh, these pussies are from Antioch, they're not from this place. Really?

I think. I think. But I might be wrong. Maybe it's a super hood place. I don't know. But the thing, it's weird. It's like you drive, around and it seems like a pretty decent area but then I see memes and I hear stories of like you know or just see reports of crazy shit happening you never had to like some you know someone try

to bring you into their gang or like you know like yeah you never had to deal with any of that type of stuff I hear gunshots though at every like from your house yeah like I used to live in this one house in Antioch and I always hear gunshots like on the daily no way yeah but the area I live in now it's probably just like on occasion if you become a famous rapper you kind of like have to join a It's cool that if you become a popping YouTuber, you don't have to. Yeah, I guess. You don't have to join, but there's definitely some pressure. Protect fulcrum at all costs.

This is what I'm trying to say. I don't do that stuff. That's good. I just smoke hello weed, man. I don't sell weed. Is there... Smoke hello weed? Is there anyone that you would love to chief with one day?

I don't know. Like, people always talk about how they want to... and Snoop and Snoop or something. I would love to smoke some pack with Michael Jackson if that could ever be possible in the future. Really? Yeah. You're a big MJ fan?

Like going to the past or some shit with a time machine. What if he tried to get frisky? I'd be like, all right, Michael Jackson. That was the end of the smoke session too. But does it have to be the end? Like, is that? Or would you just be like, nah, chill, son? Yeah, but if he kept, like, going crazy.

So you would let the first one slide? If he did some crazy, crazy shit, I'd be like, like, all right, like, Michael Jackson, those great meetings and new type shit. It was great smoking the woodjiming with you type sheet, you feel me? But, damn. Got to go back to 2020 or 2047. Yeah. Are you going to let him know he's going to die due to an overdose before you dip out?

Yeah, he just probably clean up your act. He probably knew. Michael Jackson wouldn't do it, couldn't old. He wouldn't do anything weird, bad. I'm already knowing he wouldn't, bad. It's probably too old, realistically. Yeah. Unless you went back in time and you were the age that you were supposed to be at that time.

Right. Because he's dead. right now. So hypothetically, this whole situation would be taking place a long time ago. Yeah, I would be like, in 4047, god damn it, I would be 48 years old, so. Is that real math right now? Yeah. Okay.

2047, you'd be 48. Yeah. That sounds fucking scary, dude. You already got molested by Ice Poseidon. No, I did not, dude. You know what that is? Yeah, I used to watch his streams. I was wondering if he was an influence.

Definitely. At one point of time, for sure. Were you a donator? Did you donate to get reactions and stuff? No, but, like, me and my homies in high school, we would get together type shit, and, like, my homies would donate, you know? What would they say?

I don't remember. I don't remember. Can you, uh, he seems like more of a Burger Planet guy. Oh my God. Do you know who Burger Planet is? No. Next time we're on stream, this is an honest request. Next time you're on stream,

just watch, like, Adam 22, Burger Planet freestyle. All right. If you just search that, it's just like the craziest freestyle of all time. It's you rapping? I don't even think I rap really. I think he just raps the whole time. Yeah, and he was singing and a bunch of stuff. He was a part of Ice Besant's, like Universe at that time.

Oh, wow. And he stopped by and went crazy. That sounds woke. And he always used to ask me to give him like a show on a jumper. And it's kind of interesting to think of what it would be like if like at the end of the day had happened. But you replaced AD with Burger Planet. What would his show have been? like a news.

I don't know. I feel like it would have hot or no, dude. It's supposed to be a hip hop YouTube channel at the end of the day. That would have been a way different direction,

honestly, yeah. That's some YouTube shit, huh? Yeah. He's out there. Burger Planet doing a show would have been fucking interesting. I remember seeing a video

of him talking to like, well, I'm not going to say that. Oh, God. I'm going to throw him to the bus. What's up? What? You get some ass on your shirt.

I was thinking that when you're rocking some brand new Supreme, it's always a risk, huh? It is what it is. It's part of the look part of being a smoker Yeah, I got clothes with like holes in them That's just hard

Do you uh... It's kind of sad Why? No, it's like you want to hang out to them because you like the clothes You got like a blunt hole in your couch? In my new car I got I got fucking holes in my fucking seat No That's how you know you're a real smoker I know and there's no controlling it just happens and you can't stop it There was like fucking holes everywhere

Jesus Christ have you ever been pulled over in the officers like yo you smell like weed like Are you high? I've been pulled over in Antioch with a lit joint. And what happened? You didn't even put it out? Yeah, it was still burning when they were. Yeah, that's got to be a breakfast. In the Astray?

It's still smoke game. They let me go. What they say, just don't do it again? They didn't say anything about the weed. Wow. Yeah, they're like, why do you have so many Star Wars books in the back of your car? I was like, oh, I'm in the process of moving. They thought you were stealing.

Yeah. Star Wars books. But then they realized, oh, this kid's a fucking dork. You feel I mean? He's got Star Wars books in his car. Bro, I told him, I was like, yeah, I've read all of them. He's like, you read all those books? I was like, yeah, I read all of them.

Oh, no. That honestly is a pretty good idea. Like, you ever hear this song about gunplay Bible on the dash? No. Like, one of the greatest rap songs of all time is basically him talking about trafficking drugs and just having a Bible on the dash of his car. Oh, wow. Ideally, he wants the cop to believe that he's a man of God

and that he would never be doing something like trafficking drugs, right? Yeah. And, like, it's a great song. What's he doing? Like reading the Bible in traffic? No, he's trying to trick the cop And I'm thinking that he's like this religious guy And not a drug trafficker

But I'm saying that like Star Wars books are kind of like Pretty close to that Like the cop's gonna think you're such a nerd That you couldn't possibly be selling drugs Fuck yeah I kind of had a similar situation where I was like With one of my friends who was like He was to be honest up to no good at that time

And I just met up with him to smoke and shit And we got pulled over by an undercover cop Out of nowhere We pull over to the side And this time we were driving around And we were taking dabs as we were driving around So I had like a whole rig and a torch and dabs and like a hot nail next to me. And by the time they pulled me over, like I didn't have even a second to put all the shit away.

And he just came up to my window and just sees a whole fucking tray of dabbing equipment while we're driving around. And he takes both of us out of the car, searches the whole car, takes everything out. And then I was thinking like, oh my God, I'm going to get a DUI. He's going to be like tripping about the weed. And he was like, I was like, he told me he didn't care about the weed. He was like, why are you hanging out with this guy? Like blah, blah, because he's like a gangbanger. And I'm like, we grew up on the same street, dude.

It's my childhood friend. I was like, I am also a gangbanger. No, I was like, well, he was telling me he was like, he was like, you shouldn't be hanging out with this guy. Like, he's bad for you. You have snorlax on your phone? Yes. Sick.

Shout out to Riley's niece, Adrian, for giving me the sticker. I'm walking a snorlax right now. Oh, really? You said you gave up, bro. Now you're back on it. Oh, I lied. Yeah. Pokemon Go.

Oh, shit. You ever played? Yeah, so in Anniok, the- What level are you? I mean, I haven't played since. like the first came out. Okay. But the Antioch Marina, when that game first came out, there was fucking head.

There was heads there. I was driving to the Santa Monica Pier like multiple times a week back then. Yeah, I remember. You would always be talking about that shit. That's funny. Have you ever gone to Hippie Hill? I don't think I have. No, I haven't.

Where is that? That's in San Francisco. Yeah, it's a thing in San Francisco. People go there, like, once a year and, like, they all smoke there. And there's, like, famous photos of just hell of smoke billwing. It's different than Dolores Park. Is it next to Delores Park? I don't know.

It's different, yeah. When I first went to Dolores Park, I could not fucking believe that they just let people sit around on the park and drink and smoke. I know. It's beautiful, though. It's cool. Dolores Park is beautiful. Yeah, I like the vibe.

It was a great vibe. Would you live in SF? I like it, but I would really not want to live there. I like living in a little bit more secluded. I would rather live, like, in Calabasas or, like, deeper into the valley and just be more secluded realistically at this point in my life. Having a kid makes you really not. I'm not like the idea of like living in like a city just seems kind of overwhelming.

I feel like it would be shitty living in a city. With a kid? I want my kid to be able like run around outside and shit. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's kind of like New York and SF where I've visited like some apartment there before. And it's like what you see in New York where everything's very shrunken down and tiny and like they save space. And it's we kind of have an LA, but not really.

I loved living in New York. But now that I have a kid, I'm like, fuck. Like I would not want to live there like long term at all. It's fun as hell. I went to New York for my first time last year. Oh, really? Fucking vibes, yeah. Yeah, the vibes are incredible in the city, especially.

Was it like, Brooklyn? Astor Club's so fun. What's that? It's this fucking cannabis lounge. They got all those now. It's fucking changing the game. I haven't been to one yet. You got to go, man.

They would love you at Astor Club. You get high as fuck. It's indoors? Yeah, and they got some of the best wheat on earth there, bro. Wow. Is it well ventilated or is it like a total, like, smokebox? It's ventilated. Okay.

It's pretty, like, professional. It's nice. Interesting. So they just provide you all this nice-ass weed to roll up and smoke in this cool little lounge? We probably got paid for it, right? Yeah, like, but they would hook your ass. But you bring your own weed, or do you have to buy it from the dispensary attached to this smoke lounge? Type shit, when I pulled up, they showed me mad love.

I was smoking some fire. That's dope. They would show you love, too. We've talked about that out there, because think about opening a smoke lounge. It's kind of weird because it's like you're going to sell T-shirts and products and whatever that else you're going to sell. So in that way, it's not. really that different than like the store we had before it's just you devote more of the space to people just being able to sit and chill which when you think about our store there was already a

ton of people fucking sitting around and chilling anyway right so it's kind of like would it be a better idea for us to just open a smoking lounge and then just sell our merch and everything in the smoking lounge than to just do like a traditional store since we're going to have a fuckload of people hanging out around the shit anyway right that would be fucking badass yeah kind of a weird uh thing to think about I've thought about this before on Melrose Like all the most successful stores there are ones that have cultivated an area where people can come hang out and chill Like broken projects has been there for a long time And they've always had that Supreme I had that at one point on on Melrose as well

But you got to be a homie to get in that back part Yeah, exactly But it's really not that hard I was able to get back there I didn't know anyone that way It's not that hard, but if you're like a random kid they're not gonna let you just hang out of back But I feel like that's what keeps those stores alive and you know when no jumper was there on some show was there Like we had you know you guys had that shit too Yeah it's sick but it's like

a liability because like as a store owner you kind of have the impulse to just like get the person to spend money and then they have them leave because then it's like the least work for you but then at the same time it's like if you could cultivate like a community and shit that is really good

long term it's just kind of a question of like would it be kind of overwhelming that's true I don't know you'd have to work on it it's a puzzle I've just never known anybody who had a weed lounge so I am fascinated by it I just I'm not 100% sure on like how it works You're a cool of Nexus. Yeah, I got to start going to something, see what it's like. You're a cool Nexus, right? Nexus, yeah, but that was just like a fucking big-ass warehouse.

They got weed lounges out here in L.A. Yeah, yeah, they do. They can get food and they serve you like THC beverages. Have you done a secret, secret sash? Yeah, I've been to a few in the Bay. Oh, really? Cloudsash, yeah. Oh, sick.

Yeah, it's pretty fun. Big clouds. All right, Folkrum. We appreciate you pulling up, dude. Hell yeah. Thank you for having me. Great time. I appreciate you guys.

Which is that episode 100 yesterday. It was very interesting. What should have happened? And he gets faded, Denahoe. Facts. We're about to do that right now. And the girl who's running the computer right now is his girlfriend. Yeah, shout to Riley.

And so if the camera has been on Yuri too much, it would make sense that she's responsible. Oh, that's funny. I don't even think about that. The camera has just shown Folkrum the whole time. It's just been on me. That's funny.
