Early years: depression at 5, sitting in closets listening to sad piano records. Smoked crack at 15 in Manchester, CT; identity formed instantly around drugs. Early hustle: fake Adidas hat re-sewn to say “Acid.” Buckets of Molly + shards of ketamine cooked in Pyrex from “Kahlua bottles.” First rehab: snorted Suboxone → precipitated withdrawal. Florida halfway house: wanted to be a junkie, left after 4 months → straight to Berkfest (moe., Deep Banana Blackout). Shit stories: swallowing balloons of dope, digging through shit for crack, OCD washing. Scam hustles: told people cops pulled him over so he “threw the drugs out the window”; pocketed their money. Lucky streak: claims he walked out of a house during a raid untouched. Never arrested. $500/day habit in Utah: black tar heroin, 30s, crack. Stevie Ray Vaughan was a huge inspiration in recovery. Quit cold turkey 2012 with small methadone taper + psych med detox. Quit cigs too. Art saves him: digital psychedelic covers, NFT side hustle, album covers for Disco Biscuits, Dean DeLeo, Juanes & Alessia Cara (held up by Jimmy Fallon). Birth of IDGAF Foods: stopped obsessing over “food shamers,” used OCD to create viral bits (7-Eleven hot dog twinkle, oat milk, raw bacon sashimi). Oatly threatened him legally; he responded, “Sounds like you said thank you incorrectly.” Now: refuses to monetize account. Messages from addicts are the real currency.
