🍬 This week is all about Kandi—with a K. We dive deep into the colorful, creative, and wholesome world of kandi trading:

• 📜 The history of Kandi Kids

• 🤝 The PLUR handshake (Happy 4th to Frankie Bones)

• 🧸 Friendship brackets, shrink dinks, pony bead crafts

We break down all the types:
🧵 Bracelets, cuffs, pearlers
🧬 Seed beads vs pony beads
💞 Gen Z hearts, memes, THE CLAW

We also talk etiquette:

• Make > Buy

• Right arm to give, left arm to keep

• Knot. That. Shit. Tight.

💬 Tell us: what’s the best kandi you’ve ever received—and what did it say about you?

👁️ What even is the difference between Voyd and Svdden Death anymore? We dive into the Reddit thread from two years ago that Danny himself commented on this week, giving deep insight into his creative split—tearout vs creepy, visuals, and edits vs bootlegs.

Also this week:
💍 Wreckno proposes on stage at Electric Forest!
✨ They rap, they produce, they do bass/hip-hop, and they slayed.
🏗️ DJs are posting cryptic images, Grok is wrong for once, and nothing seems real anymore.
🎟️ Fred Again broke Brooklyn. A surprise exclusive event:
— Twitch stream clues
— Ticketmaster black holes
— Lines of 100,000+ People
— And a whole crowd outside a venue with zero hope

This episode = mystery, mayhem, music, and one very overwhelmed Ticketmaster queue.

💬 Tell us: are you Team Voyd or Team Svdden?

📊 Who really owns your favorite festivals? Rave Bae breaks down the Live Nation / Insomniac web, while we dig into the origins of the Flow Star, and realize the bar is in hell.

Then we spiral into Bonnaroo’s rain-soaked chaos:

• 🌧️ No age limit??

• Zero evacuation plan

• 💀 Security fed once a day

• 🚫 Staff beds gone before Day 1

• 😱 360 stage = crowd crush nightmare (Tape B, Of the Trees, John Summit had words)

The vibes were giving Astroworld flashbacks—this was preventable and they knew the weather risks. We have a lot of questions.
