What's up GQ?

This is Fanum and today I'm going

undercover on the internet

and this is Actually Me.

Jeez.

[keyboard clacking] [soft upbeat music]

I know you don't think it is,

but it's actually me.

[keyboard clacks] [soft upbeat music]

Reddit.

[soft upbeat music]

What are Fanum's top five streams?

Okay, my top five streams.

Okay, first of all, 9-5 Stream, tough.

Fanum X Biggie Collab in New York City,

wavy.

When Curry Goat came on stream,

that was one of my favorite streams of all time.

It was so wholesome and funny and it was a goat on stream.

All mukbangs. I can't...

I don't have a favorite one,

just all of 'em together.

All mukbangs is my favorite streams. [chuckles]

And then, number five, I would say...

The first ever VHS camera on stream,

while live, having a VHS cam in New York City,

that was tough.

Those are my top five.

Responsible-Bell4742: Bro, why does Fanum

turn everything into a motivational moment?

'Cause why not? [keyboard clacking]

Literally Like why not? Like why? Why?

Why can't I? You know what I'm saying?

Why can't you just be better than you was yesterday?

Why can't I just excel

and just be the best version that I can be? Why not?

Why not fully just go hard

at what you're doing, at your creative path?

Like why not just be number one?

If you could be number one,

you just wanna be number two and three all the time?

No, let's go for number one. Let's be the best.

Let's be a boss. Let's be that.

Let's be Himothy, you know what I'm saying?

Let's keep it going.

Don't let 'em doubt you. Don't let 'em play with you.

You already know you number one,

you already know what you gotta do.

Show them. Prove them wrong.

Be the best version of you.

Let's do it, baby. [claps hands]

Imagine this being the first Fanum stream you see.

That's Curry Goat on the stream,

we got a ice cold bathtub in the back,

we got a seven foot Christmas tree,

we got Black Santa in a cut.

It's a lot going on.

Kinda like Family Guy moments.

It's a lot of random things going on at all times.

Instagram. [keyboard clacking]

Where the fuck did? [laughs]

Wait, you want me to curse or not?

[Producer] Yeah, you can curse.

Where the fuck did he get a Batmobile from?

Okay, listen, you know what I'm saying?

Mob ties, all right?

This is a legendary picture, by the way, on IG.

I mean, we went crazy.

Over a million likes on Instagram.

Shot by Vinny, I mean, wow. Movie.

Listen, don't ask me how I got it,

just know that we got it, all right?

Let's just keep it there, you know what I'm saying?

Sometimes it's better not to ask too many questions.

You know what I'm saying? [murmurs]

Shh. Be quiet.

Pobla Pacossi: Why do New Yorkers

take deli sandwiches so seriously?

Okay. [inhales]

[exhales] It's just a way of life, you know what I'm saying?

I feel like I've said this multiple times,

and for some reason

y'all just don't wanna accept it.

It's just the way of life.

It's New York, you know what I'm saying?

Early in the morning you get a sandwich.

Midday, you could also get a sandwich.

Dinner, sandwich.

You know what I'm saying? It don't matter.

You want to eat good?

Go to the corner store, get something nice.

You know what I'm saying? It just part of it.

Eddie said, How many tries

do y'all think it took him to get the last pic?

I'm not gonna lie.

Yo, Vinny! How many tries?

Seven. Like six or seven?

It took one try. It took one time.

One time, it was instant. Boom.

That's it, all right?

You see what I'm saying? You see what's going on?

Hello. Hey, everybody spam Hello on the chat.

[Fanum giggles]

All right, let's see some YouTube comments.

Cool Grandpa 1942? That's not a real...

1942? You texting? All right.

Still to this day trying to figure out

how and why Fanum pulled up to GQ with this big ass fridge.

First of all, why not?

You know what I'm saying? Just be different.

You know what I'm saying?

That's like, you've never seen that before.

Big ol' fridge, everything I like in there,

it's a fridge on the go.

I can bring a fridge right now if I want to.

I'm not gonna do it, though.

But I could, though. Why not?

X. [soft upbeat music]

[mouse clicking]

Can we see Fanum in the movies?

Like what's next for this guy?

Take my money please.

Okay, short film's coming.

Movie roles?

I can't say too much, literally.

I literally, legally, can't say that.

Fanum says that he wants to keep

his eight kids off the internet

and only the people around him

should know about his private life.

Bro, last time he said there was three?

Since when the fuck is there eight now?

[metallic clicking nearby]

Homie, I'm drooling on my screen, laughing my ass off.

What's your favorite food?

It just depends the day.

I don't really have a specific plate.

Good ass food, that's it, you feel me?

I just want to eat good all the time so it just...

I don't have a favorite food.

It just depends on my day.

Will the Troupe ever get a Subathon from Wanum?

I mean, do we need a Troupethon? You know what I'm saying?

Do y'all wanna see a Troupethon?

We can do that. We can cook that up.

You know what I'm saying? I ain't gonna lie.

We might be in the works.

I don't wanna say too much, though.

30 days, who knows? Maybe even 60 days, who knows?

I ain't gonna lie. I ain't gonna say too much, though.

Now it's time for Quora.

I know what this is.

Which NBA 2K is the GOAT?

The greatest of all time, the best 2K of all time,

in my personal opinion is 2K16.

17 is close to me, too, I love 17 as well,

but 16 was like,

Rivet City,

step back,

doing, ah man,

ankle breakers, it just...

It was just fun, it was just...

The chain nets.

It was simple, simple cells, you know?

Why is my son constantly saying

something about a skibidi gyatt Fanum tax?

What does it mean?

It means your son is in tune, updated,

with the world.

He knows what's going on.

See you, on the other hand,

I have a problem with you.

You don't know what's going on

and your son does, okay?

I need you to have that conversation with him.

Take him outside because he knows this

'cause he's online all damn day

and it's 'cause he hears us talking

and shit like that.

Tie your shit.

Where do I go for the best

Dominican food in New York City?

I would say anywhere in the Bronx or Brooklyn

or even Spanish Harlem, it don't really matter.

I don't have a specific restaurant that you need to go to.

Just go around, just try shit.

Stop being scary bro. Just go around and try shit.

[soft upbeat music]

Fanum needs to open his own deli in New York City.

That place would be so lit, food would be bussin'.

I'm glad you know that.

Facts.

It would be amazing.

I always wanted to have a deli in New York.

It'd be like the Fanum Special,

the Nine o'clock Special,

you know what I'm saying?

Mix and match things.

Chips, you get the combo.

You can get these three things together,

you might get a discount.

In my store we not doing $12 chopped cheeses.

Alright, we doing $5 chopped cheeses.

I don't even care if we profit or not.

We wanna keep it, you know what I'm saying?

Where the hoodspeaks.

We wanna keep it where, you know what I'm saying?

Where the hoodspeak's at, but I be wavy.

I hope that if I do do that you pull up

and, you know what I'm saying?

Get you a chopped cheese and little bag,

you know what I'm saying, and enjoy your time.

It's time for Wikipedia.

[Fanum giggling]

Fanum began streaming on Twitch in November of 2016

and made his YouTube channel, 'JustFanum', in May of 2017.

My first YouTube channel was not in 2017, though.

It was like 20

13.

It was called PlayStation Rob.

That was my first official name and...

He posted his first video in February of 2019.

He streamed NBA 2K and later expanded

to IRL Vlogs, which often drew upon

his experiences in New York.

Facts, I did New York Story Times,

I did New York Slang.

Just explaining to New York's, to...

Not just New Yorkers, just people outside of New York,

how New Yorkers talk.

It was dope, it went viral in a lot of places

and people loved it.

We didn't really have a New York content creator.

I was one of the first ever to actually like

take it there in terms of like

what part of New York I'm from,

which is the Bronx,

and just making it like long from content.

It was dope.

All right, Quora.

If AMP members were superheroes who would they be?

Okay, 'cause this is a little tough, all right?

Chris would be the Riddler, you know what I'm saying?

'Cause I don't know what's going on half the time.

I think Davis would be

Green Lantern for some reason.

I don't know.

He is Green Lantern

or maybe even Static Shock.

Agent would be like, Magneto?

Yeah, he'd be like Magneto.

I feel like Duke would be like Black Panther.

Facts.

Kyle would be Ant-Man.

Very small

man.

Very small man. Ant. Ant-Man, yes.

And then me, I would be

Thanos.

[Fanum snaps fingers] [light whooshes]

What are the various streaming communities?

Okay, first of all, we got multiple streaming platforms.

So you got Twitch,

Rumble,

Kick, YouTube, as well.

But in terms of comms, which is communities,

you got W&L, which is what I'm a part of.

You got the Poggers Side,

which is super cool, too.

Then you have like niche streamers

who, like, do like ASMR.

You got people that just paint all day.

You got the Bob Rosses and stuff of the world.

I don't know, streamers is so vast and big and...

There's a streamer for everybody.

How big is the crib?

Y'all need to play manhunt in that hoe

or hide-and-seek.

Matter of fact, you know what's crazy?

We even did paintball before in that crib.

You know what I'm saying?

We got a basketball court in the backyard.

We done did whole full-blown tournaments.

We almost burnt the house down three times

on three different occasions.

And one time we fake burned it down with Mr. Beast,

shout out to Mr. Beast.

We had a horse in the house.

Nicki came to the house one time. That was dope.

We'd have pool ins...

A pool, it's like...

Like, literally, a real pool inside the house.

You know what I'm saying?

Oh, one time I had a dirt bike!

I rode a dirt bike inside the house. That was cool.

A ATV, as well, so...

Yeah, John Cena, You can't see me.

He was in the house. I text him, too.

Don't forget that. Please don't forget that.

hide-and-seek is kind of hard because sometimes,

you know what I'm saying, it takes a long time

to catch somebody, I don't know.

Sometimes I'm like, I'm here.

Yeah, I can't be the only one thinking

that Fanum is an underrated style icon.

I just like pieces and garments,

throwing that on, you know what I'm saying?

Putting that shit on. PTSR.

Fashion is dope. [keyboard clacks]

Clothing is cool. [keyboard clacks]

I feel like what you throw on could speak for you

without you talking, you know what I'm saying?

Capturing a moment in time with pictures. Fire.

Put those two together,

Instagram,

social media,

and just show it to the world like,

what we could do, we from New York,

so you want to throw it on.

Every day's a different vibe.

Some days I wanna wear all black.

Some days I wanna be more brighter colors.

Sometimes I wanna go classy, you know what I'm saying?

Give it that, you know what I'm saying?

That papi chulo san puy, right?

It depends. It just depends on my vibe.

The vibe is everything.

TikTok.

What should I do and what should I not do?

Go visit a whole bunch of views.

The Edge.

Check out the Empire State Building.

I've been there like two, three times already and it's dope.

Go there.

Let me see, Statue of Liberty,

I'm giving you all the tourist spots, all right?

The Junction in Brooklyn,

Yankee Stadium, you know what I'm saying?

Go to Yankee Stadium

and stay within a one block radius.

If you go past that,

whatever happens after that,

is on you, all right?

If you wanna go to Staten Island,

I won't judge you, but... [crew laughs]

Yo, bro, there's nothing is there now!

[crew chattering]

What's over there? Sopranos.

[everyone laughing]

It's like... [everyone laughs]

Why is Davis called the group leader?

I don't know.

I'm not gonna lie.

We voted him in a while ago.

I don't...

I don't know...

I think he needs, I don't know.

He needs to step down already.

I don't remember why we voted for him but we did.

He's the group leader.

He leads the group.

I don't know what he does bro. [everyone laughs]

Shout out to Davis.

Fanum should start rapping for real.

EP on the way, okay?

Album mode soon. I sound like a rapper.

I'm not, though.

People like the music, people like the videos.

Everybody likes the AMP cyphers.

The last one we did, Kevin Hart was in it, too.

It was dope.

Good energy, it had like a 90s flow,

Pro Era, you know what I'm saying?

Shout out to Joey Baders and 'em.

We should start rapping? You know what I'm saying?

You should start listening, no cap.

And you have to have A$AP on it.

What would it take for AMP to add a new member?

AMP is never adding a...

Well, I don't wanna say never,
