Twitch and YouTube may be cutting back on streamer signings, but Kick is going full send. The free-spending platform has signed Nelk, the creator group behind the Full Send podcast and the Happy Dad hard seltzer brand.
Kick announced the deal on X. The Nelk boys confirmed the pact and said they have “big moves coming” in the streaming space. On YouTube, Kyle Forgeard — who hosts Nelk videos alongside creators like SalimTheDream, SteveWillDoIt — said that the group’s first Kick stream will be a “crazy” experience involving pranks and partying. “We’re doing our first ever Nelk Irl stream on Kick,” Forgeard said. “We don’t know what’s going to happen. We might get canceled.”
Sportskeeda describes the deal as an exclusive agreement that includes no other streaming platforms. Nelk has gone live on Twitch before, but their viewership there lags far behind their YouTube traffic. Kick is betting...

As a founding member of Nelk, Canada native Jesse Sebastiani built up a platform where he could drink hard seltzer and participate in a legendary amount of tomfoolery. After departing the YouTube collective, Sebastiani is launching a relaxed venture that will define the next phase of his career. In a recent video, he pulled back the curtain on a new network named Sunday.
Sunday’s name is meant to differentiate it from Sebastiani’s previous properties. As the 29-year-old creator explained, Nelk’s camaraderie and party atmosphere gave it a “Friday night” vibe. The group’s podcast, Full Send, was the Saturday to Nelk’s Friday. It was the “second send,” through which Sebastiani, co-founder Kyle Forgeard, and their friends could deliver more antics.
Compared to the other days of the weekend, Sunday is a time for relaxation, and that’s what Sebastiani’s new brand will be all about.

Nelk may be a bunch of prankish boys, but the group's podcast is landing all sorts of high-profile guests. Five months after they interviewed Donald Trump, members of the creator collective sat down with Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, who joined the Full Send podcast for a three-hour discussion.
The conversation with Musk was hosted by Nelk ringleader Kyle Forgeard, group members Salim and Steiny, and Full Send President John Shahidi. Shahidi, an online video vet known for his work with Shots Studios, began the podcast episode by explaining how he convinced Musk to come on as a guest. He noted that he met the billionaire nine years ago and send him the Full Send interview with Trump after its release. Shadidi invited Musk onto the show and the initial response was "not yet." Eventually, after some follow-ups, Musk agreed to meet Forgeard and co. in Austin for a chat.

Nelk, the YouTube collective known for their boundary-pushing pranks and party animal hijinks -- netting over 20 million views a month -- is set to release their own hard seltzer brand, which the guys created from scratch and has been a year in the making.
“YouTube never paid us. We’re only here because you guys supported us by buying merch,” Nelk co-founder Kyle Forgeard explains in a video documenting the product’s creation. “We get offered big deals, million dollar deals all the time. We’re not interested in the short-term money, we’re in it for the long-term play, that long-term game.”
Accordingly, given that the group’s videos frequently feature hard partying, they are launching this month a hard seltzer called Happy Dad. The product is distinguished by the fact that it only contains 1 gram of sugar, 2 grams of carbs, 100 calories, and is chock full of electrolytes.
