WHA: A channel where a man imbibes cannabis in a variety of different ways with a variety of effects.
HOW MANY SUBSCRIBERS AT TIME OF WRITING: 599,506
WHY SHOULD I CARE: CustomGrow420, a channel run by Joel Hradecky—or "Jolie Olie", as he refers to himself—is one of my favorite YouTube channels of all time. Here is a man with charisma, a seemingly endless supply of weed, hash oil, bongs, pipes, lighters, grinders and, most importantly of all, a stunning intro, in which he jostles his inevitably weed-related cap and goes:Yeah-ya.
What up YouTube-YouTuuuuube.
Jolie Olie coming aTCHA.
For CustomGrow420.
This 18-over channel designed
for cannabis patients and adults.On first viewing of Jolie's intro your shit-for-brains might fool you into thinking it's annoying. But I guarantee you, after watching eight or nine of his videos you'll be mouthing it along with the rest of us. It's not just a snappy intro (and, come to mention it, outro) that makes CustomGrow420 such a special channel, however. What Jolie does, on a near daily basis, is imbibe cannabis in the most extreme ways imaginable.Before we get into that, though, let's look at what we know about Jolie Olie. In the past few months his YouTube channel has exploded, with nearly a thousand new subscribers every day. This is owed, in part, to the large amount of videos he uploads, which, on weekdays, seems to be around three per day. The interesting thing about them is, unlike his contemporaries, they appear to feature almost no editing. They're all one-take jobs. There's none of the jarring, frenetic edited displacement you see in many videos where the uploader is the star of the show. But Jolie had a channel before this one—what happened to it?
