#7. Don’t tell Santa Cruz!

At the Sam Pepper Next Up event, I got hit with a challenge: go on a date with a stranger. Instead of playing it safe, I linked up with a homeless guy who turned out to be one of the coolest, funniest people I’ve met on stream.

We hit Burger King, shared laughs, and even recreated the classic “Don’t tell Santa Cruz” meme while holding our burgers. Pure mix of humor, randomness, and unexpected wholesome vibes — the kind of IRL content you can’t script.
