- Adam was a normal kid until we went on vacation to Hawaii.
He went viral after he took a photo
that made it look like he was tweaking a volcano's nipple.
(intense music)
After that everything in his life
was an opportunity to go viral.
(ominous tone)
(yelling sound)
- We've been engaged eight times,
but never for real.
I've accidentally swallowed eight diamonds.
Do you know how hard it is
to shit something that's princess cut?
- Adam was my closest friend.
He was someone I could rely on.
Until he live streamed my cancer diagnosis.
- She's got the big C. - Yo, who you talking to?
- Hey, thumbs up this video if you think
she's gonna survive- - Hey, are you recording-
- Thumbs down if- - This right now, man?
- If you think shes a goner.
- For real? - Tune in next week
and you'll find out what happens.
I'm out.
- Are we rolling?
Adam and I aren't really friends.
We only hang out to do collabs.
I'm just here to shoot the intervention,
put that on my YouTube @viraljacob.
Check me out at V-I-R-
(ominous tone)
- What is this place?
- This is his bed room.
- He lives here?
Where's his bed.
- I mean, it changes.
Well last night he boxed himself.
See.
- Boxed himself?
- Yeah. It's like a reverse unboxing video.
- I should never have left his father.
This is what happens when a kid grows up
in a single family home.
- Yo mom, that was great. - Wait.
- Let's take that back again. - Wait.
Wait, how did you know?
- Yeah, yeah. Square up.
Gotta up to camera more, ma.
- Adam, you need to stop.
This is your intervention.
Okay?
- Yeah, yeah. I know.
You're on the hidden camera.
I found out this morning.
So I've been going live all afternoon.
Let's get it. - Damn it.
- Yo don't trip, bro.
I tagged you.
You're gonna grow like crazy.
Hey everybody get in this shot real quick.
- No, sit down. - All right, square up.
Let's get it.
I'm out.
- Adam, this has gone too far.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure.
- You are no longer experiencing life.
You turn every family gathering into a TikTok challenge.
- Yeah. Dope.
- Are you listening to me?
- Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
- I said you were no longer experiencing life.
- Wait, hold up one sec.
- Stop setting up the light.
- Hold on, hold on.
I'm getting my phone real quick.
Yo, hold on- - Adam.
- Don't say anything.
- Can you just- - Hold on one second.
Save it. - Behave for one second?
- Hey, tune in next Halloween when I go live
and I do this funk in the pumpkin challenge.
Let's go. - That's disgusting.
- Here you go,
hold that real quick. - Yep.
What?
Oh.
- [Both] Sick boy challenge.
- What are you doing?
- What is this? - What hell is that?
Ugh, what?
(upbeat music)
- Yo guys, come on.
Are you gonna get in a what?
- Yeah. Get it in. - Yo, mom, come on.
Step up closer.
You're not even in the frame.
- I don't know how to do the sick boy challenge.
- It-it's really easy. - It's easy.
No, come on get up. - Yo, get up.
I'm tagging everybody on this. - I'm too old for this.
- It's a viral challenge.
It's all over the explore page right now.
- Who cares about viral videos anymore?
- Damn. Exactly, it's going up.
- Adam, this has gone too far, okay?
- Wait, what are you talking about?
- They're saying that they'd like to smash
the dislike button on your actions.
- When it comes to your behavior, we'd rather unfollow.
- And unsubscribe.
- Because the only engagement that you-
- Wait hold on, babe.
Wait, wait, wait.
- Yes?
- Let's take that back again.
'Cause the lighting's trash. - That is, I'm done.
I'm leaving. That's it.
- You're gonna walk out on family.
- Oh my God.
What family, Adam?
(intense music)
- What is that?
- We're pregnant.
- What? We don't even fuck anymore.
- Yeah, I know but I froze your eggs one night
while you were asleep.
It was for a challenge.
(ominous tone)
- Wait, so I'm gonna be a mom. (bright music)
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- We're starting a family. - Oh my God.
- Oh my God, yes. - We're gonna get
a Golden Retriever- - Okay.
- And a white picket fence. - Oh my God, what?
- And-and, wait, stop.
Okay, stop. Stop.
Okay. Stop. Stop.
Dammit. - What?
- It's flickering.
All right. Let's just take that back.
We'll get it real quick. We'll get it real quick.
- I'm not doing this again.
- Babe, come on it's supposed be fun.
- What is this?
Did you draw these two lines on with marker?
- Oh, oh yeah.
We're not actually pregnant.
I thought we would do a separate video.
We'll do like a miscarriage video.
So it's like double the content.
- I'm not doing this with you.
This isn't real life.
None of this is real.
Okay. - No, this is-
- This is fake.
You're fake. - This is online-
- The followers are fake. - It's real, yeah.
(intense tone) - Hey.
- I am so fucking done.
- Hey, you broke that.
I need that for one more shot.
- Are you serious?
You still care about- - I still have to
film with this.
- Fucking psycho.
- What are you talking about? - UGH!
- Wait, babe.
Let's at least film the gender reveal.
- None of this is real.
I'm not even your real mom.
- Wow, chill out mom.
You signed an NDA.
- That's right.
He pays me to play his mom.
In fact, his real mom stopped speaking to him
when he filmed her sneezing on her husbands ashes.
- That did 10 million views.
- I have a real family,
in Reno.
- They get no views.
- I've been sucking up to your fake mom this entire time?
- Yep.
- But I love her like a real mom.
- Thank you, doctor.
And I don't even have cancer.
(gasping)
- Oh my God.
- Gotchu.
(laughing) Let's go, hey.
Drop the balloons. - [Andrea] Are you serious?
- [Friend] Aw, are you serious, man?
- Dammit.
All right guys, I'm sorry you're gonna hate me
but we're gonna have to take it back.
(intense tone) - [Mom] Ah.
- This whole thing's been a prank?
- Oh my God. - Can I get paid now?
- No, you're contract got voided.
- Ugh, no.
- You're canceled.
You just got canceled.
- But I need to get paid.
- Lawyer up.
- Oh, keep going.
This is such good content.
- No, no, that's my content-
(ominous tone)
(somber piano music)
Since my intervention
I learned that I was too focused on content.
I mean, I literally let it control me, okay.
But now I know what really matters.
And I've been on this journey of self discovery and...
Yo, could we take that back?
I feel like it's not sounding genuine enough.
Since my intervention,
I feel like I've been so focused on content...
Is that too much?
