“Who got the za?” A humble request for weed, whenever he lands, anywhere in the world, every trip, if you follow Nikolai, you’ve probably seen this in his Stories. But what happens when Grant’s OG homie offers to help with the endless quest for trees? It's mayhem, absolute mayhem, in a way only the WKND gang could pull off. Scroll through to go behind the scenes on the prank before Nikolai’s big promotion. —Alex Papke


If you're a fan of spoilers, you can watch the finished production here before you check the BTS

Setting the scene … Nikolai took over Grant’s old apartment after he moved out. So Grant slowly planted the seed to Nikolai that a somewhat sketchy old friend had a special delivery of the finest Florida green   

A package so suspicious that Grant was able to sell the idea that a biohazard company was coming by to inspect

Dry ice really seals the deal

And, of course, there’s a script

Sosa and Dart were in on it

So was your friendly neighborhood biohazard team with Glenn and Tom K

Inside, the gang was ready for the surprise

Christian’s locked in. Nothin’ outta ordinary

Nikoali’s mom was seeing what a day in the life of her son feels like—Normatecs on, bumping Yeat

Grant took it so far that he hired a Craigslist actor to play the head of the biohazard team

Mic check!

As soon as Nikolai saw a photo of the package on the front stoop he immediately called Grant, extremely shook. Puppet-master type shit

And just like that, Nikolai was on his way home. Places, everyone

Did we mention that Grant staged a news crew? The Hard Times’ Bill Conway understood the assignment

We had to hide in the “news van” for 20 minutes before Nikolai rolled up. There was a wide range of emotions—from vexxed to terrified

And the reveal! Finally, Nikolai can breathe

Shit, it was Tom K all along!

Mom’s got the proddy! Just in time for the whole crew to come out

Somehow had no idea it was coming. Love it when it works out like that

Big hug from Bone to make it all better

Definitely got him this time, Grant

It's all love from his fellow Florida man! Let’s see the cast that made it all happen

Much respect for the Craigslist actor, 10/10 performance

He’s got a good gang

A much-needed photo with the suspicious box

Yo, flick me up with the media team

And just like that, another pro is added to the WKND roster
