Costa Mesa's GB Drako says he ate better in juvenile hall than on the outside

A podcast clip filmed on a couch in a studio with acoustic foam and a neon sign on the wall. GB Drako, in a dark green Packers hoodie, leans on his hand at the mic and tells the story while the host, in a white T-shirt, camo pants and headphones, listens and asks why he got into a fight. The on-screen headline reads "GB Drako had so much juice inside juvie the staff fed him Canes & Pizza Hut + let him game on Xbox."

Costa Mesa's GB Drako (@7even2wo.baby) told a podcast host that his time in juvenile hall got so comfortable he was eating better inside than he was on the outside. Juice Unlocked shared the clip on Aug. 26, 2025.

"I'll be eating better in there than I'll be eating outside, bro," he said. The clip's on-screen headline says staff fed him Canes and Pizza Hut and let him game on Xbox.

Working the cart

He said juvenile hall was "way easier." He described working "on cart," which he explained as serving all the food, and said there are phases you have to level up through.

Once he moved up, he said, he could talk to staff, get out to play Xbox and get pizza and Canes. He swore it happened "in the halls."

“I'll be eating better in there than I'll be eating outside, bro.”

A rough start

He said the perks did not come right away. "It took time for me to get there," he said. Soon after he arrived, he said, he got into a fight, and that was the first time he was pepper-sprayed. He said he would not let go, so staff sprayed him again.

The conversation also contrasted juvenile hall with county jail, with the point made that the halls run on different rules.

The clip does not say which juvenile hall he was in, when, or why he was there.

“Juvenile hall's, like, it's like way easier, you know.”
