Lil House Phone Transgender Hookup Drama

In January 2023, Adam22 posted an episode of his podcast SledgeLords featuring Gracie Jane, a transgender model and artist, as a guest. During the podcast, Jane suggests to Adam22 and his co-host Danny Mullen that she hooked up with Lil House Phone, the co-host of the No Jumper podcast and a good friend of Adam22. The clips have been edited to remove House Phone's name, however, one instance of his name was left unedited and it was assumed she was talking about House Phone due to the way her mouth moves. At the end of the podcast, Adam22 says he's worried people will think of him as a "bad friend" if he puts out the podcast and doesn't edit out the reveal. Jane accuses House Phone of acting "shady" and acting like he didn't "do some shit he did do."

After the podcast was posted, Adam22 started to receive criticism from some viewers for being a bad friend and exposing House Phone. On January 20th, 2023, Adam22 responded to the accusations in an episode of the podcast. The clip was uploaded to the No Jumper Clips YouTube channel on January 20th, garnering over 173,000 views in two weeks. In the response, Adam22 claims he told his editors to cut the clips rather than just "bleep" the names.

During the podcast, the editor admits to accidentally failing to edit out one of the mentions of House Phone's name. Adam22 shows text message receipts between himself and the editors as proof that he wanted the mentions edited out. Adam also says that House Phone is the last person he'd want to expose, saying he's going through the "mom shit," referring to the death of his mother.

The drama came to a head on January 31st, 2023 when House Phone threw a drink at Adam22 as they argued about it on an episode of the podcast (shown below). The two made up later that day during the same podcast.
