Frequently Asked Questions

Did the Nelk Boys actually meet Donald Trump?

Yes, in 2020 Kyle Forgeard and other Nelk members visited then-President Trump at the White House and filmed a widely-viewed interview together. The collaboration became one of the most talked-about moments in the channel's history, drawing attention from fans and political commentators alike. It cemented Nelk's reputation for landing celebrity and political access that most YouTube creators never get near.

What is Happy Dad Hard Seltzer and did Nelk really start it?

Happy Dad Hard Seltzer is a hard seltzer brand co-founded by the Nelk Boys — primarily Kyle Forgeard and Steve Deleonardis (SteveWillDoIt) — launched in 2021. It grew into a nationally distributed product and stands as one of the biggest business ventures the crew has built outside of YouTube. The brand reflects the same party-forward identity as the channel itself.

Who is Clav from Nelk and what was the stream controversy?

Clav is a member associated with the Nelk crew who became a subject of online discussion after a streaming moment where he appeared to be making out with a trans girl on camera. The clip was turned into Nelk Shorts content and circulated widely, drawing both attention and debate across social platforms. It follows Nelk's long-standing pattern of leaning into controversial moments as ready-made content.

What is Full Send and is it actually connected to Nelk?

Full Send is the lifestyle and apparel brand created by the Nelk Boys, built around their signature go-all-in philosophy. It sells clothing, accessories, and merch and operates as the commercial umbrella for most of Nelk's non-YouTube revenue, sitting alongside Happy Dad in their business portfolio. The phrase 'full send' became synonymous with the crew's reckless, no-limits brand identity.

What is SteveWillDoIt actually famous for?

Steve Will Do It, whose real name is Steve Deleonardis, built his reputation by completing extreme eating and drinking challenges on camera — consuming enormous quantities of food, alcohol, and other substances in single sittings. He became one of the most recognizable faces of the Nelk brand and attracted massive attention alongside significant platform scrutiny. His personal channel eventually faced suspension from YouTube due to the nature of the challenge content.

How did Nelk end up doing a video with UFC fighter Dustin Poirier?

Poirier appeared in Nelk content after what appears to have been a shared plane journey that turned into a candid, unscripted conversation about purpose, mental health, and what keeps men grounded. The crew framed it as a spontaneous deep talk, a sharp departure from their usual prank format. Nelk has a history of crossover content with fighters and athletes, and Poirier's openness gave the segment legs well beyond the channel's usual audience.

What is Steiny's bet about flying everyone to Brazil for the World Cup?

Steiny, a member of the extended Nelk crew, publicly promised on camera to charter private jets and fly everyone to Rio de Janeiro if Brazil wins the World Cup. The promise is a classic Nelk-style bold claim designed to generate hype and force an accountability moment if Brazil's result comes through. Whether the bet pays out or not, it creates a built-in high-stakes content moment for the channel down the line.

Who actually founded Nelk and where did it start?

Nelk was founded by Kyle Forgeard and Jesse Sebastiani, who began posting prank videos out of Canada before relocating and expanding the crew in the United States. The channel gained serious traction in the mid-2010s through public pranks and party-lifestyle content, eventually growing into a full media and consumer goods operation. SteveWillDoIt later joined and became one of the group's most prominent personalities.

Was SteveWillDoIt ever actually banned from YouTube?

Yes, Steve Will Do It's personal YouTube channel was suspended by the platform, with YouTube citing violations of its policies around dangerous and harmful content. The action drew significant attention because his extreme challenge videos had been central to Nelk's appeal and helped grow a large audience before the suspension. He continued appearing in Nelk brand content on the main channel after his personal channel was taken down.

Where are the Nelk Boys originally from?

The founding members of Nelk, including Kyle Forgeard, are originally from Canada — Forgeard grew up in Ontario. The group eventually shifted their main operations to the United States, particularly the Los Angeles area, as the channel and the Full Send and Happy Dad businesses scaled up. Despite the move, their Canadian roots surface regularly in the crew's content and dynamic.
