00:00:00.300 This is for anybody who says they missed the old Seagull, they want art videos.
00:00:03.760 See, I've been busy streaming, but Sekeb made a fire video.
00:00:07.420 It's called Clout is a Hell of a Drug.
00:00:10.040 And it's about 2023 IRL streaming.
00:00:13.740 I watched it yesterday, but I want to watch it again and really analyze it.
00:00:17.140 Because, oh, it's in 4K too?
00:00:19.480 Yeah, this is dope, bro.
00:00:20.900 Shout out to Sekeb.
00:00:23.460 Sakuchi, a.k.a. the Bengali.
00:00:25.200 Let's watch it.
00:00:26.600 I have a fear of growing an eagle.
00:00:28.080 Hey, look at the cast real quick.
00:00:30.500 Sakem, Sneeko, Arab, Aiden, Neon, Lil Pump, Bradley Martin, Sarah Fousey, Nate Diaz.
00:00:34.540 That's a crazy cast.
00:00:36.760 I have a fear of growing an eagle.
00:00:39.120 Because I'm an artist's artist.
00:00:40.900 But I'm also a Muslim.
00:00:42.560 And sure, everybody's meant for a purpose and all, but art can get pretty satanic.
00:00:46.740 Music is haram.
00:00:48.000 And yeah, nobody's perfect.
00:00:49.420 But I have to be honest, I'm too good at what I do.
00:00:52.600 I'm like a modern-day Van Gogh.
00:00:54.120 I can recite the Quran off-red, though admittedly I'd also give my ear up for the art.
00:00:58.100 By 26, I've traveled to make a few films, and my savings are barely saving me, but the
00:01:03.560 friends have met along the way always do.
00:01:05.320 If he ever, like, fires you, do that job in there.
00:01:07.500 Aura.
00:01:07.900 Yeah, I got you.
00:01:08.540 Yeah, yeah.
00:01:09.320 Aura.
00:01:10.080 Look at Aiden trying to steal my cameraman.
00:01:12.060 What the fuck?
00:01:13.060 Also, I shot some of these right here.
00:01:15.940 I shot...
00:01:16.400 Okay, let's just watch the thing.
00:01:17.340 I don't want to pause too much.
00:01:17.980 New line Islamist called Nazar, but just assume I graduated from a nerdy Canadian school.
00:01:22.640 And it's a biased opinion, but only a smart guy could graduate with a D.
00:01:26.260 It works for me.
00:01:27.300 But don't get it twisted.
00:01:28.460 I'm a born Texan.
00:01:30.540 Texas.
00:01:31.860 It's where my maternal grandfather settled down.
00:01:34.180 He passed away eight years ago on January 18, 2016.
00:01:37.780 And on his way to the hospital, he demanded that we put his iPad on charge.
00:01:42.520 You can say that's grim.
00:01:43.880 I say that's where I get my positive attitude.
00:01:46.320 The type of guy who never seemed to go to bed worried or angry.
00:01:49.480 And if he was, he was a pro at not showing it.
00:01:52.380 I wish I'd ask him more questions about his life, my history.
00:01:58.420 I wasn't a mature kid.
00:02:00.240 I didn't know what to ask.
00:02:01.680 And now he's gone.
00:02:02.700 W lungs.
00:02:03.840 80 ain't a bad age to go, though.
00:02:05.440 At least he's left me some clothes.
00:02:07.600 My favorites are the button-down and pajama pants.
00:02:10.500 And I'm not glazing my grandpa.
00:02:12.300 They just mean something to me.
00:02:14.140 A reminder of what it is to be a joyous person.
00:02:16.980 And laughing through thick and thin.
00:02:21.660 I contemplate a lot about the year prior.
00:02:25.420 My friend and I had toured the world like a two-man band.
00:02:28.580 Sneeko, the content creator.
00:02:30.500 Sikeb, the editor and cameraman.
00:02:32.480 But we were adventurers, really.
00:02:33.740 We really went all over the world.
00:02:35.220 We went to Thailand, Spain, Morocco.
00:02:40.100 Nah, do I go to Japan with them, too?
00:02:43.540 I think Thailand, yeah.
00:02:44.660 Thailand, Spain, Morocco.
00:02:45.900 Chartering five continents in two months, we stopped from airport to airport like riding
00:02:49.660 a subway.
00:02:50.680 And what came of it was a few exceptional films and a legendary summer of streaming.
00:02:54.840 We started slow in Phuket.
00:02:56.660 Thailand was my favorite.
00:02:58.140 Aside from being overly horny, Bongbong was an exceptional taxi driver.
00:03:01.280 Many lady on the way.
00:03:03.740 You guys remember this stream with Bongbong?
00:03:05.980 Bro, I think I had like 2K live viewers doing this IRL.
00:03:08.800 It's funny, though, when people say, like, oh, you fell off.
00:03:11.060 I remember this IRL.
00:03:11.940 We're in Thailand with 2K live.
00:03:14.420 And this was like about a year ago today.
00:03:16.660 Yeah, a year too, yeah.
00:03:17.620 Okay, later we'll see more ladies.
00:03:19.100 I feel like Bongbong's trying to get some extra.
00:03:20.320 Yo, Bongbong.
00:03:21.660 And riding elephants isn't something we just do every day.
00:03:24.040 But neither is adventuring with Arab through the markets of Morocco.
00:03:27.340 Don't be mad.
00:03:28.180 You know what I mean, dawg?
00:03:29.520 You know what I mean?
00:03:31.100 What did you do with Thailand?
00:03:33.480 What do you want me to say?
00:03:35.200 What do you want me to say?
00:03:37.120 What do you think?
00:03:38.260 They haggled with the merchants of Marrakesh.
00:03:40.260 And that was the last I saw him.
00:03:41.640 3XL?
00:03:42.160 Yeah.
00:03:42.820 Bro, I'm not that obese.
00:03:44.140 That is until I caught him last month in Miami at Sonny's place when he stopped to take a nap
00:03:48.000 on the way to getting kidnapped.
00:03:49.640 Arab has been kidnapped in Haiti.
00:03:51.320 Captured at the hands of a gang ruled under a dude named Barbecue.
00:03:54.720 No, you're Barbecue!
00:03:55.240 It's true, man.
00:03:55.720 All of us screaming out of kitchen and helping.
00:03:58.700 Chat, spam the word that he doesn't want you to say.
00:04:02.020 Before you continue.
00:04:03.440 Spam the word that you...
00:04:04.860 Come on.
00:04:06.320 Do it!
00:04:07.160 Do it!
00:04:09.400 The word that will get you banned on kick.
00:04:13.660 Homophobia!
00:04:14.900 Homophobia!
00:04:15.340 You know homophobia?
00:04:16.060 I was thinking about this.
00:04:17.980 Homophobia makes the world go round.
00:04:19.460 Because if everybody was gay, the world would not continue.
00:04:25.180 Everybody being homophobic means everybody's straight, which means the world continues.
00:04:29.340 Spam it up!
00:04:32.380 Oh!
00:04:34.820 Oh, hey!
00:04:36.220 That's homophobic, chat!
00:04:37.900 Don't say that!
00:04:40.120 Don't say that word!
00:04:42.800 That hurts my feelings!
00:04:44.540 My community does not stand for that word!
00:04:49.800 And you're a broke monkey if you use that word!
00:04:53.360 We don't use hurtful words, you broke monkey chat!
00:04:57.460 We don't use terrible slurs like that!
00:04:59.740 One guy's name is Arab, but he's a Christian.
00:05:07.620 And the other dude's name is Barbecue.
00:05:09.520 They're both kind of legends.
00:05:11.200 I knew he'd be fine.
00:05:12.820 But streaming really only took off after we came back to the States.
00:05:16.440 And we climbed to the top of it.
00:05:18.180 Summer 2023.
00:05:19.460 Summer of IRL streaming.
00:05:20.680 All we needed was a $3,000 backpack connected to a $7,000 camera and a 5G network to go live from anywhere.
00:05:27.800 There's that time in New York where we did interviews in Central Park with Aiden Ross.
00:05:31.500 You won't know, he's a good guy.
00:05:32.580 Sweet, he's a sweet guy.
00:05:34.360 He's a great guy.
00:05:35.260 Can I have some, too?
00:05:36.040 The stream that Aiden said was his favorite.
00:05:38.080 Bro, this summer there's going to be a comeback.
00:05:41.220 Trust, trust, trust, trust.
00:05:42.740 And I know you guys have been begging for an IRL run.
00:05:46.600 We're going to run it back.
00:05:47.600 We're going to run it back.
00:05:48.220 So, just right now, like, I have things coming up and stuff like that.
00:05:51.780 Like, I like doing desktops, too.
00:05:53.100 I don't always just want to run around and be a clown for fucking parasocials that don't go inside.
00:05:58.200 You know?
00:05:58.580 I think a lot of people, if they beg for IRL streams, it's just because they don't go outside and they want to live by.
00:06:03.240 It is what it is.
00:06:03.980 You get it.
00:06:04.480 But I'm going to do it.
00:06:05.300 I'm going to do it.
00:06:05.820 I'm going to do it.
00:06:06.400 Okay, locked.
00:06:07.360 With who?
00:06:08.360 We'll figure it out.
00:06:09.660 I have some things planned.
00:06:11.200 I have some things planned.
00:06:13.400 Buy him a shirt.
00:06:14.220 Come on.
00:06:15.000 I got you, brother.
00:06:15.680 He bought his friend Jake $12,000 worth of clothes.
00:06:18.420 And I didn't complain when he gave me 300 bucks.
00:06:21.220 That was a crazy line right there.
00:06:23.280 Wait, wait, wait.
00:06:23.780 Jake, $12,000 worth of clothes.
00:06:25.760 And I didn't complain when he gave me 300 bucks.
00:06:29.080 Why would you complain about getting free money?
00:06:32.580 What do you mean?
00:06:36.220 I also did four or five streams for Neon.
00:06:38.500 He used to ask me if I wanted anything from Shake Shack.
00:06:41.020 He became one of the biggest streamers in front of my eyes.
00:06:44.260 Also, Neon fans don't realize this.
00:06:46.900 But, I mean, the Neon community doesn't like me a lot of times.
00:06:50.820 They don't remember that this is one of the Neon community's favorite streams.
00:06:53.940 And also, like, one of the best, part of the best IRL runs.
00:06:57.480 Sikeb filmed Neon's stream.
00:07:00.160 He did that stream.
00:07:02.320 Right?
00:07:02.840 I really wanted him to do well.
00:07:04.960 And so, like, not only did I let him have that stream, I let him use my...
00:07:09.440 I said, here, have a cameraman.
00:07:12.780 Here you go.
00:07:13.920 Here you go, pal.
00:07:15.020 But they don't know that.
00:07:16.520 They're like, what's this?
00:07:17.700 Come on.
00:07:19.940 He used to ask me if I wanted anything from Shake Shack.
00:07:22.680 He became one of the biggest streamers in front of my eyes.
00:07:25.880 Being a cameraman had its perks.
00:07:27.940 I did my job, and I was likable.
00:07:29.680 At any given moment, there were 10,000, 30,000, sometimes even 70,000 people watching whatever
00:07:34.720 I pointed the camera to.
00:07:36.760 And if you didn't see it live, you saw it that night on Instagram or TikTok.
00:07:40.420 Like a viewer, I'd often look up to enjoy the randomness of the show.
00:07:43.840 One day, I'm in the studio with Lil Pump.
00:07:45.720 The next day, I'm watching Aiden spar Jake Paul.
00:07:47.920 And the next day, I'm at Universal Studios holding a Sony A7S III on a roller coaster.
00:07:52.280 Oh, Blueberry.
00:07:57.240 I have to get the angle.
00:07:58.720 It's not as easy as you think it is.
00:08:00.520 And I gasped behind the camera that time Bradley Martin punched Sneeko in the face.
00:08:04.580 The 260-pound guy almost beat the shit out of me.
00:08:07.560 All because Sneeko lit up a cig in his gym.
00:08:09.700 I'll smash your fucking camera right now.
00:08:11.560 No, no, no, no.
00:08:13.200 Honestly, I did hand Sneeko.
00:08:14.700 Oh, Brad.
00:08:15.440 We had to get revenge.
00:08:17.240 He chipped his tooth.
00:08:18.780 I thought we were cool, Brad.
00:08:19.780 Bro, my tooth is still chipped.
00:08:22.400 Every time when I go to this camera, I see it every single time.
00:08:26.200 My teeth, these teeth are still like, they're like circular now.
00:08:29.900 They used to be rectangular.
00:08:30.840 I need to fix them.
00:08:32.120 I still need to fix my teeth.
00:08:33.640 I love the drama, creators and viewers alike.
00:08:38.020 More drama meant more views.
00:08:39.680 And more views meant more clout.
00:08:41.120 You don't bring that shitty manager around.
00:08:43.040 You don't bring that girl around.
00:08:43.980 More attention.
00:08:45.160 Bain beef, it's such bullshit.
00:08:49.780 G7 chat.
00:08:52.280 I recall a day during that monumental run where we took a day off.
00:08:56.160 Instead, the two of us sat for hours on the balcony glued to watching somebody else.
00:09:00.860 Up until that point.
00:09:01.840 This last stream with Fousey, like, it was so entertaining.
00:09:04.880 I was just watching the stream.
00:09:06.040 I think I was on the phone with Aiden.
00:09:07.960 We were just watching the stream.
00:09:09.240 Like, what the?
00:09:10.280 And we were both trying to call him and, bruv, call Fousey.
00:09:14.900 I don't know if he wants to be on stream.
00:09:16.580 FouseyTube had been streaming his life nonstop for 60 plus days.
00:09:21.020 Eating.
00:09:21.860 Sleeping.
00:09:22.140 Doesn't time fly?
00:09:23.880 Holy, bro.
00:09:24.800 It's been a year since, like, bro.
00:09:27.940 It's been a year.
00:09:28.660 Remember we used to collab with Zerka IRL every day here and right here in this room?
00:09:32.300 It's been a year.
00:09:33.540 Time really, I think this past year, flew the fuck by.
00:09:37.040 And you guys were all, I feel like it's the same audience.
00:09:44.220 I feel like it's the same people.
00:09:45.260 You guys were all, you know, when I was, like, last year, there were so many people that didn't watch the year prior.
00:09:51.480 But I feel like everyone that's watching this stream, not type of one, if you were, were watching this era.
00:09:55.520 It's the same.
00:09:56.380 It's the same people.
00:09:58.120 It's crazy that within a year, like, we were able to maintain the same exact people.
00:10:03.780 That's rare in content.
00:10:05.040 He was in Miami.
00:10:07.400 I almost met him.
00:10:08.760 But like I said, he took off that day.
00:10:11.460 I'm glad I didn't.
00:10:12.920 I'm too big of a fan.
00:10:14.660 Put two if you weren't there.
00:10:16.600 Put two if you weren't.
00:10:17.740 Because I think everyone, I bet 99% of people watching this stream is crazy or are all watching this stuff.
00:10:23.440 It was manic.
00:10:24.600 Although it made for a legendary ending.
00:10:26.120 Over 100,000 people watched him get swatted live.
00:10:30.960 Moments after he slapped the kid in the face in his own home and proceeded to piss on his lawn.
00:10:36.220 The internet was tuned in.
00:10:38.040 Dozens of police covered the entire block around his hotel room, just minutes away from us.
00:10:43.000 They questioned him.
00:10:44.620 He threatened and cursed at them.
00:10:46.580 Like a scene out of a movie, the show was recorded to a literal end.
00:10:49.740 They cuffed Fousey and locked him up in a mental institution.
00:10:53.840 By the end of it, he looked like an angry and irritable person who wasn't doing anything for himself and everything for the viewers.
00:11:01.220 At the expense of someone, a loved one, whatever kept his show rolling.
00:11:05.720 He wasn't Batman.
00:11:07.360 He was the Joker.
00:11:08.760 Letting go of his sanity for our entertainment.
00:11:11.200 And everybody clapped.
00:11:12.400 Last night, I dreamt in pitch black.
00:11:21.400 I was holding a hand smaller than mine.
00:11:24.240 For hours, we held on and played with our fingers.
00:11:27.180 A faceless, feminine soul.
00:11:29.300 I recognized her from other dreams.
00:11:32.300 As if I've dreamt many adventures with them, but they cut themselves from the memory.
00:11:36.100 Every time, without fail, before I wake up.
00:11:39.240 It's intimate in the little ways.
00:11:41.080 A reason to become a man, more disciplined.
00:11:44.340 And for making an effort to smoke less.
00:11:46.280 In the day that I'll see her.
00:11:47.960 In the lifetime, that I'll take care of her.
00:11:54.520 Our adventures bring me joy.
00:11:56.600 Like boy, he's only 10 months old.
00:11:59.820 For a while, I thought about not cutting his balls off.
00:12:02.680 He's like my son.
00:12:04.100 Does my son dream about somebody like me?
00:12:06.400 I didn't want to kill his inspiration.
00:12:07.940 Then he escaped out the window one night, the moment I wasn't looking.
00:12:12.020 A quick Reddit search told me they'll go hundreds of miles for a mate that's not even a wife.
00:12:16.680 So I made a trip to the vet when he came back the next day.
00:12:20.040 I adopted boy after I hung my gloves on.
00:12:22.660 I was grateful to Sneeko, and my cameraman days weren't over.
00:12:25.900 But my lens of the world changed entirely.
00:12:29.160 I thought back to my grandpa, and what it meant to have real joy in my life.
00:12:33.220 Was that the happiness I was looking for?
00:12:34.900 Say it, chat.
00:12:42.120 Say it.
00:12:45.020 Don't be weird.
00:12:48.080 Was that the happiness I was looking for?
00:12:50.240 Was that what a fulfilling life entailed?
00:12:52.660 Sleepless nights, ruthless spending, life on the go.
00:12:55.620 Like Fousey, I was more angry, irritable.
00:12:57.860 Dr. Shiva.
00:12:59.100 Constantly working and out of shape.
00:13:00.920 I had more wealth, but less time.
00:13:03.380 And my sense of gratitude slipped.
00:13:05.560 A world of drama.
00:13:07.320 It's hardly admirable.
00:13:09.540 Surrounded by the glitz and glamour of influencers and their money,
00:13:13.000 I grew to see them for the humans that they were.
00:13:15.440 In the pursuit of something bigger, worldly desires can make them compromised,
00:13:19.280 and friends they cared for can get stepped over.
00:13:21.960 For the result of what?
00:13:23.600 For the attention of who?
00:13:25.400 It felt unfulfilling to be around.
00:13:26.820 Maybe it takes a lot to have a clean heart.
00:13:29.740 A different journey entirely.
00:13:31.460 That requires you to stop yourself and ask,
00:13:33.860 Who am I becoming?
00:13:41.980 People say that all the time, you know?
00:13:44.380 Oh, he's a mental fighter, an emotional fighter.
00:13:47.420 I don't even know what the f*** that means.
00:13:50.060 This is MMA fighter Nate Diaz.
00:13:52.680 One of the biggest stars in UFC history.
00:13:54.820 More than his win over Conor McGregor,
00:13:56.820 or his infinite love for ganja.
00:13:58.980 You cancel me, I'll cancel you.
00:14:00.460 He's known for his give-no-fuck's attitude,
00:14:02.300 and his uncanny delivery that takes playful wit.
00:14:04.540 I still love my leg, come on, niggas.
00:14:06.400 Capuchetti introduced me to his buddy Nate when we met up in New York.
00:14:09.760 I shook hands with Nate's hometown friend from Stockton.
00:14:12.580 This was a close group of five or six people.
00:14:15.020 Genuine bonds between guys who came up together.
00:14:17.580 Family ties, as Cap always says.
00:14:19.440 And at first, Nate himself didn't seem to like me.
00:14:22.200 I was an outsider.
00:14:23.080 When I told him that I used to work for influencers,
00:14:25.740 I could tell that he had his own answers to the world I'd been questioning.
00:14:29.140 And maybe he didn't see it, but he must have felt it in me.
00:14:31.780 Eat your fancy boys.
00:14:33.680 Work slipped the conversation and we hit it off.
00:14:35.800 He told me about his new music studio,
00:14:37.880 and I gave him a couple of Eminem beats to freestyle.
00:14:40.540 Our characters carried the conversation.
00:14:42.800 Who we were outside of that room didn't matter.
00:14:45.920 Nate was much different than most celebrities I'd met.
00:14:48.580 He left me with the nickname only he could conjure up.
00:14:51.600 Sacucci, like Gucci.
00:14:53.160 Bro, do you guys remember at the Nate Diaz IRL?
00:14:56.560 He's like, yeah, you know my boy, you know your boy, Sacucci.
00:15:00.580 Yeah, I met your boy, Sacucci.
00:15:02.040 I'm like, what the fuck is Nate Diaz talking about?
00:15:04.360 What?
00:15:05.600 Who the fuck?
00:15:06.440 Who is that?
00:15:07.740 What?
00:15:08.840 Now I know.
00:15:11.160 Sacucci.
00:15:11.480 That's the nomenclature he used when we hung out again last month.
00:15:17.620 Nate's got 6 million followers.
00:15:19.820 He could be with Peso Pluma, or he could be with me.
00:15:22.800 Despite having the attention of the globe,
00:15:24.460 he chose to be grounded around real friends.
00:15:26.840 And what I've discovered about myself from meeting folks like him
00:15:29.200 is that my biggest inspirations in life are the ones that I know.
00:15:32.620 That's why I couldn't clap for Foozie.
00:15:34.700 In a pursuit to appease strangers on the internet,
00:15:36.580 he lost sight of the souls that are fulfilling more than money.
00:15:39.240 A greatness to them that doesn't need fame.
00:15:42.140 I want to become great like my grandpa.
00:15:44.240 And since I've known him, I want to become great like Nate.
00:15:46.920 A fighter who speaks genuinely, doesn't hide or sugarcoat anything,
00:15:50.440 and 100% committed to living life on his terms.
00:15:54.240 He seems happy.
00:15:56.000 Now that's Admiral.
00:15:57.060 Great video, man.
00:16:06.660 There's his bot tube channel.
00:16:08.040 This should be on Rumble.
00:16:08.960 I'm just saying, but good stuff.
00:16:11.480 Good stuff.
00:16:19.280 Look at all those W's, bro.
00:16:21.260 Holy shit.
00:16:23.460 W.
00:16:23.780 I didn't even tell you guys to say that.
00:16:25.700 You guys are spamming it up.
00:16:26.920 Follow Sneeko on Locals for behind the scenes vlogs.
