“We’re being facetious guys,” Majlak said. “We’re f**king around. The kid’s f**king fine.”
“There was an opiate narrative,” Logan added, incredulously. “First off, no. I said, I don’t take painkillers ’cause it’s a slippery slope. That is what I said!”

The YouTuber then claimed that he’d actually taken measures to limit certain things from his lifestyle, saying he’d cut his drinking down to “ten percent of what it was” — although he admitted that he’s still smoking marijuana.
