The Slushy Bros are a friend group that turned a blender full of frozen soda into a content brand: short-form videos, recurring characters, a podcast, and apparel that shows up in limited drops. The whole thing runs on one rule, which is that nobody drinks alone. If you searched this looking for Hamzah and Martin, you are probably after Slushy Noobz, a separate Canadian YouTube channel with a confusingly similar name, and we untangle that below too.
The short version: a group chat that got out of hand
Slushy Bros started the way most friend-group projects start, with a dumb idea nobody talked anyone out of. Someone brought a slushy machine to a hangout, the first attempt got filmed, and the clip did better than anything any of us had posted before. That became the format, and the format became the brand.
What separates us from a standard prank or reaction channel is that the slushy is the structure, not the gimmick. Every bit has a cup in it somewhere. A dare gets settled over a slushy, a shot gets taken and the reward is a slushy, a first-try attempt gets celebrated the same way every single time.
That repetition is intentional. Viewers who show up for the third or fourth time already know the rules, and knowing the rules is most of what makes a channel feel like a place instead of a feed.
Slushy Bros and Slushy Noobz are not the same thing
This is the single biggest source of confusion, so here it is plainly. Slushy Noobz is a YouTube channel run by a Canadian duo, Hamzah and Martin, known for gaming-adjacent and lifestyle videos, a podcast, and their own merch store. Slushy Bros is a separate US-based friend group and apparel brand, and the two have no shared ownership.
People end up here searching for a few different things, and the names collide on almost all of them:
- Slushy Noobz merch and the occasional password-gated drop on their store, which is theirs, not ours
- Slushy Noobz podcast episodes, which live on their channel
- A Slushy Noobz game or game-related uploads, again their side of the internet
- The fan-maintained Slushy Noobz Wiki on Fandom, where most of the biographical details people repeat about Hamzah and Martin originate
If any of those are what you wanted, search for slushynoobz directly and you will land in the right place. If you wanted the crew that runs the backyard, the cups and the drops, keep reading.
Who is actually in Slushy Bros
We run the channel as a cast rather than a single host, which is closer to how a sitcom works than how a vlog works. Each person has a lane that holds up across dozens of videos, because a character that only makes sense once is not a character, it is a bit.
The roles sort out roughly like this:
- The instigator, who proposes the challenge nobody agreed to
- The one who actually lands it, usually on camera, usually while everyone else is yelling
- The skeptic, who reads the rules out loud and then loses anyway
- The guy behind the camera, who has more screen time than he wants
Readers sort themselves into those slots pretty fast, which is why we built a quiz for figuring out which Slushy Bro you are. It is also why the merch tends to sell by character rather than by design.
What we actually make
The output splits across four buckets, and they feed each other more than they compete. Short-form video is the front door, and everything else is what happens once someone walks in.
Short-form video
Most of our clips run 12 to 35 seconds, shot vertically, with the payoff visible in the opening frame. Short-form is where the audience volume is: YouTube has reported Shorts averaging tens of billions of daily views globally, and Pew Research Center consistently finds YouTube to be the most widely used platform among US adults. That scale is the reason the slushy bit travels.
Longer bits and the podcast
The podcast side of the operation is where the running jokes get explained, argued about and occasionally retired. It is slower, messier, and the place most of the lore gets set.
Apparel and limited drops
Merch is not a bolt-on here, it is part of the story. Shirts reference specific videos, so wearing one is a receipt that you were watching when it happened. If you are shopping the current lineup, start with our rundown of where to find cool t shirts on the site.
Sports content
Game days, tailgates, trick shots and whatever a parking lot allows. The Slushy Bros sports section collects that side, and it is the fastest-growing part of what we post.
Why the slushy, specifically
A slushy is a shared object. You can hand it to someone, you can lose one, you can win one, and it looks good on camera at any frame rate. That combination is rarer than it sounds when you are trying to build a repeatable format.
It also solves a problem most group channels run into around video 30, which is that friends hanging out is not a premise. There has to be something at stake, even if the stakes are stupid, and a frozen cup of something is about the right size of stupid. That thinking is the origin of the friends don’t drink friends line that ended up on half the merch.
Practically, it keeps production cheap. One machine, a few flavors, a phone, and a backyard cover about 80 percent of what we publish in a given month.
How Slushy Bros grew
Nothing about the growth was clever. It was posting volume, tightening the first second, and getting better at reading which videos deserved a sequel. Most of the channels that stall out are posting fine videos with a hook that arrives two seconds too late.
The pattern that worked for us:
- Post enough to learn something, which in practice meant five to seven clips a week for the first several months
- Sequel the winners instead of chasing a new idea every time a video pops
- Keep the cast consistent so returning viewers recognize faces, not just thumbnails
- Tie the merch to specific videos rather than launching a generic logo tee

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Martin and Hamzah live together?
Yes, the Slushy Noobz duo have filmed the bulk of their catalog from one shared house, and they have referenced living and creating in the same space on camera. Fan-maintained pages, including the Slushy Noobz Wiki on Fandom, describe the same arrangement. Living situations change, so treat any specific detail as a snapshot rather than a permanent fact.
Who is Hamzah Al-Emad?
Hamzah Al-Emad is one of the two creators behind the YouTube channel Slushy Noobz, which he runs alongside Martin. He is typically the more on-camera-forward half of the duo, appearing across their videos, podcast episodes and merch promotions. He is not affiliated with Slushy Bros.
What ethnicity is Martin from Slushy Noobz?
Martin is Canadian, and the pair are generally described as a Canadian duo, but he has not published a detailed account of his ethnic background. Most claims circulating on aggregator sites and the Noobz wiki pages are unsourced fan speculation. The safest answer is that his nationality is public and his ancestry is not.
How did Hamzah and Martin meet?
Hamzah and Martin were friends before the channel existed, meeting through everyday social circles rather than through YouTube itself, according to accounts collected on the Slushy Noobz Wiki. The channel came after the friendship, which is the usual order for duo accounts that hold up past the first year. They have told versions of the story across podcast episodes rather than in one dedicated video.
Is there a Slushy Bros Wikipedia page?
No, there is no Wikipedia entry for Slushy Bros as of 2026, and the Slushy Noobz wiki on Fandom covers a different group entirely. The most accurate information about us lives on the Slushy Bros about page and in the videos themselves.
Come hang out in the backyard
New videos, character drops and merch releases all move fast, and the good stuff tends to sell out before the second post about it goes up. Follow along on YouTube or grab something from the shop while your size is still there.
