Yung Lean says the party is officially over. The ketamine era is done. From puking on himself to putting his feet in the sand, he’s 366 days sober and choosing God over fear. We talk freak offs, Diddyfication, the epidemic of loneliness, and why the new rebellion might just be tea with the boys. Touch grass. Carve wood. Find peace.

Summary
Yung Lean tells Kareem the party is officially over. The Swedish rapper, 366 days sober, wants to make it cool again to settle down, carve wood, and find God instead of "being in a dark hole, we all sniffing K." He blames the "sheer diddiness of it all" for ruining excess forever. They agree society took celebrity worship too far and that male loneliness is the number one epidemic. The solution? Russian Turkish bathhouses with the boys, touching grass, putting your feet in the sand, and choosing God over fear. Yung Lean's still with the gang sometimes, but he's romanticizing tea over freak offs. The ketamine era is done. It's time for humility, gratitude, and brotherly love. Also, Martha Stewart has a reptile living in her brain.
