    2 Stank 2 Licious: Kendamalicious is Sweets Legend

    PSA: This episode was recorded months ago, and I am only uploading it now. Mental health isn't a joke, and it's been a toughy for me recently. But y'all have been asking for content and I live to serve! This episode is raw, unedited, and deserved to be aired. I'm sorry to those who have been waiting! Hoping to get back at it soon. Cam is a pillar in the kendama community, and this episode is worth the listen!  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Follow Cam here: https://instagram.com/kendamalicious  Follow Cafe Kendama here: https://www.instagram.com/cafe.kendama/ Shop Sweets Kendamas here: https://www.sweetskendamas.com/ Shop Sol Kendamas (Canada): https://www.cafekendama.com/ Become a Patron for $5/month: https://www.patreon.com/cafekendama Join the Coffee Gang Discord: https://discord.gg/sHbtezfx4t

    Ben Herald is a Fringe Case, and That's Why We Love Him

    This episode felt like a long time coming. Ben Herald, Grain Theory Pro, has consistently been one of my most requested future guests... Well, coffee gang... we did it! This episode was a lot of fun for me. Ben and I dove into a lot of the nuances of being on the cutting edge of Kendama, being looked up to, and the hype of Fringecase--among many other talking points. It was a blast of a conversation and I can't wait for you to tune in.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This episode is supported by one of my favourite roasters Onyx Coffee Lab.

    Documenting the journey of Kaizen: Mediochrist

    Mediochrist is a rising Kendama YouTuber doing things differently. He is showing the everyday growth of his skill and progression. As a historian of sorts, Meiochrist shows the hardship of learning new tricks--not glamorizing only the success but also showing the intricacies of learning.

    The Call of the Mountain: Zack Yourd

    I always get a bit giddy for the guests I bring on the Brewview, and this one was special. I would be lying if I didn't shape a lot of my early play and kendama style around Zack Yourd and his edits. Zack is a gem of a human and has embarked on numerous adventures. In this episode, we dive into a lot of them. From Kendama USA and mountain bumming it to his side hustles and his newest adventure, marriage, we go deep!
