YouTuber and Twitch streamer Kai Cenat ended a livestream with MrBeast in style: his streaming room was apparently blown up by fireworks. The stunt – because of course it was – terrified the numerous live viewers.
Kai Carlo Cenat III is currently the top Twitch streamer in the US, so going live with the world’s most popular YouTuber, James Stephen Donaldson, was a pretty big deal. The two gave away $310,000 between them, splitting the money between 31 viewers – all while sitting in front of a giant pile of fireworks.
Look, I’m very old and I find it inexplicable that I want to watch Cenat screaming about his intentions to use his stash of fireworks as a “defense” against his colleagues while multi-millionaire MrBeast grins and mutters mindlessly. But a quarter of a million people watching take a completely different view and I have to respect that.
During the hour-long stream, the two basically randomly pick people to give money to, advertise Donaldson’s candy bars, and babble about their heights until Cenat’s friend Davis comes in with a large fireworks cake and starts a somewhat staged discussion about who has blown up whose room with fireworks in the past. This culminates in Davis telling Donaldson to “get out” before a physical altercation ensues between Cenat and Davis, with the latter placing his cake on the giant pile of fireworks and lighting it on fire.
Do you know what a large amount of fireworks looks like in an enclosed space? It looks like smoke. But what it is, Sounds is pure brilliance.
It’s a good, if not perfect, recreation of Cenat’s regular streaming room. The lack of a window on the right side of the screen is a minor giveaway, but the pillars and peculiar shape of the background are convincingly recreated. It’s enough to walk past if you’re not specifically looking for it, so you can only imagine the chat’s reaction when the whole place seems to go up in smoke. So much smoke. And then the stream cuts out.
If only indoor fireworks behaved like they do in cartoons and are supposed to in real life, giving us a spectacular display of colorful explosions. Either way, it was quite an impressive display on the Fourth of July, if a little less traditional.
