Hasan Piker Breaks Down Streaming, Socialism, and Internet Hate | The Seeds with Alana Hadid

In this episode, host Alana Hadid sit down with Hasan Piker — political streamer, political commentator, and king of thirst traps — to talk about the day-to-day behind streaming, dodging online death threats, and the role of luck in life. From his early days working in Hollywood to becoming one of the internet’s most-watched political voices, Hasan shares unfiltered stories about burnout, fighting with Donald Trump and Elon Musk, and that one time he accidentally created chaos on stream with a wild slip-up. Plus, a surprise arm wrestling contest. Chapters:00:00 Discovering a Shared Past00:22 SKIP INTRO00:58 Life as a Club Promoter02:38 Academic Pursuits and Cultural Insights03:06 Arm Wrestling Challenge05:29 A Day in the Life of a Streamer09:47 Balancing Work and Social Life15:28 Speed Round: Quick Questions22:23 Unexpected Follower Drama22:41 Favorite Conspiracy Theories24:24 Constitutional Amendments and Enforcing Laws25:31 Embarrassing Stream Moments26:33 Audience Demographics and Influences28:44 Death Threats and Online Harassment32:25 Socialism and Wealth Misconceptions39:24 Future Goals and Personal Life41:21 Tasting Palestinian Knafeh47:48 Final Thoughts and Farewell*Disclaimer: The views, thoughts, and opinions expressed in this podcast are solely those of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views, policies, or positions of Dustlight Productions, Watermelon Pictures, or any of their affiliates, employees, officers, or representatives.

Every story starts with a seed. Alana Hadid is on a mission to dig into the tiny, weird, wonderful moments that shape us — one silly, vulnerable and deep conversation at a time. The Seeds is where artists, activists, and icons open up like you’ve never heard them before. This season, Alana sits down with folks like Hasan Piker (political firestarter), Mona Chalabi (Pulitzer Prize winning data queen), Aja Monet (award-winning poet of your dreams), Kendrick Sampson (activist/heartthrob, Insecure & I’m A Virgo), Melissa Barrera (hello, horror icon), and Poppy Liu (actual magic, Hacks). We get into childhood memories, big feels, late-night thoughts, early crushes, politics, love, art — the real stuff. So pull up a seat. New episodes every Tuesday, starting June 4.
