Here’s a conclusion I came to recently. Your best friends are the ones you send memes back and forth with.
Fuck, that would make a great Hallmark card.
But come on, think about it. There’s no quicker way to develop jokes, learn someone’s humor and develop close friendships. Here lies the origins of Left On Read, an interview series where we creep through one of our friends’ phones.
I’m talking notes, camera roll, search histories, movie recommendations, memes, and more.
Today, we’ve unlocked Ibu Sanyang’s phone. Ibu is (in my opinion) one of the standout skaters from Carhartt WIP’s insanely stacked lineup, and since first seeing him in Ben Chadourne’s 2019 video Boom, I’ve been a huge fan.
Since then, you might recognize him from Carhartt’s Inside Out , Polar’s Everything Is Normal or Bad For The Bones, his latest for Converse. Enjoy the scroll, and a little secret, his phone password is 42069. Jk, we didn’t get that intel, but we got everything else!
[Editor’s Note: Ibu didn’t mention the name of the podcast, so here’s a link to one I thought was cool about sex workers in late 1800’s New York.]
Love, Hate, Freedom.
