The man became angrier after they told him no again and threatened to kill the streamers.[36][38] The streamers ended the marathon early and called the police because of this.[36]

Hofstetter tweeting the next morning: "We are all ok and have been with police. We decided we are done with the marathon and need time to process!

That end of marathon brunch stream we had planned tomorrow with friends will be rescheduled for sometime in the far future :') Please send love to emiru, Cinna, Rosie [sic] and Emily! Everybody is in shock but I'm so glad were [sic] together".[36][39] Later that day, Hofstetter and Watts went live to talk about what happened and to officially end the marathon.[40]
