foreign [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] long-awaited episode today we just did the we did the milk video last Monday if you guys are watching this it's probably Thursday or Friday but we just uploaded the milk video where we uh we linked up in the video it's been like a long time long time we kind of wanted to to link up and do something but we didn't know exactly what or we kind of knew I feel like we would always do the Pod but just kind of I don't know I don't know if it was timing or just it was just kind of more random right yeah I mean I think it's better that we're doing the Pod now anyway yeah yeah we were actually just thinking about that on the way up where it's like when we were going through all that whatever like I feel like I don't know we're pretty civil and it's good vibes no you know but people uh obviously people love the the video yeah for sure obviously I mean we knew that because everyone obviously like missed obviously seeing you on the channel and stuff like that too so I watched the video a few times during the edit but then when it was premiering I watched it like the whole thing through and then I kept like I was going back and watching it it was just like it's a good feeling right dude yeah good like that's why I text you did at the end too was like super dope um together and how long you think I don't know definitely a lot of mixed feelings for sure not gonna say it was like just like you know I mean it's crazy but yeah it's dope I think the filming was more easy because we we were chilling before that like when we we didn't film it and stuff like that but that was definitely like crazy seeing you after like a long time and stuff like that but the filming when we came to your house was it was pretty chill like yeah it was a normal condo everything in the edit he was just like cool I remember seeing you before like even doing the whole filming stuff but like when we seen you remember you came to the house oh yeah that was like that was insane yeah that felt great singing well I didn't realize when he said that it was like three years I was like I know it's long time also just [ __ ] flies now but like I didn't think it was three [ __ ] years I know it doesn't feel like three no it feels like a year or so yeah it does right it does dude my feet don't touch the ground right now dude it's [ __ ] hot should we just go tarps off no of course no wait let's actually bring that up because when you were in the bathroom we congratulated jessiana's transformation no it's not no I can't even say that word are you dieting and all that how much does that change for like your your mental health everything it's all connected you know [ __ ] like like how you were saying about not drinking that probably was like step one but uh it was just a bunch of good habits keep on adding on to the list and then doing it every [ __ ] day yeah we're trying to do that too right now yeah it's [ __ ] hard bro what are you guys on like second week third week and then I think we're all on a different wave I don't know if I'm on this I don't think it was twice my way but yeah you don't want him to tie into your wave uh no it's just like what the [ __ ] does that mean I'm like [ __ ] like I'm gonna slow you down I'm like South African like [ __ ] what's what's like like I don't know just like big waves and you're like I don't know yeah no I'm slacking like Lake Michigan or something like that it's just a different different kind of thing yeah I just roll like sometimes I hit the gym but yeah I like being active I think that's what it is she's like what would you say to like want to attend Health like what's that David Goggins up here at 10 what are you at right now no I just like I like bro I think that's very fun yeah but what if what would you put on your oh one to ten if David Goggins is a 10 I'm probably at it too I mean no no that guy's a [ __ ] you watch that guy to get fired up oh yeah yeah I've been trying to tell him bro like I get can get anybody motivated oh yeah it's [ __ ] crazy I mean you're not gonna you're not gonna back down somebody that like [ __ ] talks to you like that he's like no [ __ ] truth ready to go you push what do you think was the biggest thing that clicked because me and you were always trying to work out and kind of get in shape and stuff too boy you think well you think was the biggest thing that clicked for you I've kind of explained this before but and I might have text you about it but the main thing for me was uh creating a streak is like huge just like like for me it was run up at least a mile every day or eat under 1750 calories like whatever it is you make your list but I would do it for seven days in a row and it would just be like clockwork like lose two pounds feel better all that [ __ ] and then I was like okay cool let's do two weeks three weeks and then at a certain point you're like oh I'm 150 days in like it kind of felt like drinking like quitting drinking right like you're creating that pressure to like have a beer is like a bigger deal now because you're breaking that streak and I kind of just like tried doing that with Fitness the first time because like we like how many times have you seen me like lose weight gain weight lose weight gain weight I was like [ __ ] dude drinking definitely is step one for [ __ ] obviously weight loss too and just yeah like working out like and you're gonna be like sober though no you can still drink it's just yeah because that's what I'm trying to do now it's just like probably just every Saturday yeah every Saturday if you say every Friday like don't say once a week because like then you could hit a Friday yeah and then like you know a chick hits you up on a Saturday and then you're just like [ __ ] so that's why I'm just thinking like I think it's the step one is chasing [ __ ] honestly no yeah girls we never just really went out for like casuals like we never said like yo like I really want to just go have a beer right now you know what I mean it was always to go out and get [ __ ] chicks pretty much oh yeah like you pretty much even back in the day no 100 like I don't think we would just go to a bar and be like oh we need a drink right now it was always just like we'd film and then like whatever college or whatever the thing we were at it's like we should let's go we'll try to wheelchair yeah that that's where it starts yeah we should honestly take it back to where you guys first started you guys are down just for the fans to talk about because I honestly I don't even know bro like that's how new I am uh like the day you guys first met first thing you filmed kind of how it all came together yeah no I remember I remember the first time we uh linked up I think you'd message me on like Facebook or some [ __ ] right yeah and and Jesse had an MTV show at the time careless teens that was on MTV Canada I was just doing the YouTube thing and he kind of like sent me some ideas and then I think we went back and forth and then we did this prank like you lit me on fire yeah where Jesse said he knew how to like light someone's arm on fire and like not get where's that video at it's on there yeah it's still up yeah oh [ __ ] it's like you let me on fire prank okay and um so yeah so we went we like put the gasoline on like my arm for example and then like I would sit beside someone and then Jesse would come up and like light me on fire and then I would like freak out and see it and blame the person beside me like and be like yeah like we'd only do it to people yeah oh [ __ ] so yeah and how'd it go it's pretty funny like how did you how to do on the internet too views wise and all that I mean at the time who knows at the time right I don't I don't even remember what it did at the time like it's not like it went like [ __ ] viral right that's like 100k would be like like we were pretty stoked on 100K I think yeah but I don't even think it definitely didn't get that I don't even [ __ ] what was your guys's first like 100k or big video where you were like so like we were doing our thing for a bit and then it's when we moved to LA um the first viral video we hit was seven ways to complement boobs oh yeah that was a Coke prank but it wasn't that got like I remember and this was when YouTube videos would go viral right so people were sharing YouTube videos way more and it was all about getting reposted on like other sites so there was sites like I forget what they were called but like there was like big like sites that would post videos yeah you would Google the title of your video and then see if those posted it yeah so like people were reposting the video but you know honestly it I think it only got like 300K in 24 hours but that to us was like holy [ __ ] like I feel like at that time that's pretty big though how long it was like what year is this you think like 2013 no I think 15. I was 19. yeah so about 2014 25 2014 2015 yeah so you gotta that was your first 300K video probably yeah and that's where it was that where that you guys walk us through that one like where you say like nice rack and there's a person with a rack yeah it was just a bunch of them the first two that I ever saw was um embarrassing phone calls in public and then college dorms which I think you did most of that one where you're like trolling the guy like yo I'm supposed to move in here oh you have the basket of clothes and all that yeah yeah that show was good both of those went I don't even know if it was Tick Tock I want to say it was Tick Tock or maybe even Vine but they both went crazy on there like that's how I first found you guys yeah no and then I think we would go back and then we did Coke prank out there at that same trip and that was the next big one which is still the most viewed video and that one went that one went super that's like 50 mil I think right how many videos you think you guys were at before the coke one I mean Kyle wish you were shooting a bunch of stuff before but we had done we've done a lot of different ones for sure we were vlogging that's when daily vlogging was big too and we had the second Channel and we were trying to do that on the milk 2 channel daily vlogging see it feels like we went to LA and we hit that Viral like in a month yeah like didn't that happen yeah and I remember first I don't know if you can remember but I just remember like dude I was 19 like flying to La oh my God it was crazy bro like Landing there like from Toronto like I fired up we I dropped out of school like it was like yeah how scared were you guys and we were the thing is also like you couldn't we couldn't sign a lease because we didn't have prices or anything like that so the only like short-term rental place we could like stay at was like this like luxurious kind of like condo that was like our first like disagreement I remember but like yeah it ended up paying out like he want he was like pushing for this the 1010 Wilshire Place and I was like [ __ ] you know because we're both working trying to save up money and I remember being like [ __ ] dude it's too expensive at the time you wanted the sauce crib and he wanted the more like financials no but he had a good point like it did work out it was like yo we got to be in the [ __ ] [ __ ] it's like Wu-Tang Clans our [ __ ] neighbor like and so which condo you ended up moving into the Wilshire yeah but we like it was two bedrooms so we like two people both shared rooms and this is before after the coke rain this is the same time okay at that time where was like Merchant stuff at during the coke prank the merch didn't even start yet merch didn't even start yet so then after that we would like go back to Canada because we also couldn't afford to stay there yeah at that time bro like I'm not even like like we couldn't even like we couldn't afford Uber like to go to Venice we would take like a we'd walk to the Subway and then we'd take the subway to like oh my God that would take us it would take us like two hours to get to Venice yeah we saw one lady get robbed that was Subway so was La like kind of like uh because you guys are from Toronto obviously but yeah coming to La like were you guys like what the [ __ ] going on yeah that had to be sick dude I remember I remember Venice Beach was like The Place To Shoot too all the big pranksters were there it was like there's a lot of crazy people there yeah that's wild but no it was cool did you guys at this point have any doubts of like getting to where you wanted to be yeah for sure yeah like what do you think at that point where your biggest speed bumps I don't know about you Jesse but I think so we we would have to go home because we couldn't afford to stay out there like we couldn't eat out like we would yeah just a little YouTube money a little bit and then I think even we were doing some random ass brand deals like you do birdie and remember that it was like an essay thing I remember the phone one or something yeah just like some random ass [ __ ] but then we would go and then we would go home because not only could we not stay there for six like we'd only be in there for six months but we also just needed to go home and like kind of save up money to go back again yeah but I think every time we went home some it did slow down a little bit kind of because mentally you're just like you're not together all the time and like you know there's you're hanging out with old friends that are kind of not on the same wave right [ __ ] smoking weed in your friend's basement and [ __ ] like we were still young too like we're like 20 years old 20 like you know what I'm saying it was like a reset but also you it was like life pulling you back into like reality of like nah man you should go [ __ ] work at the golf course you could work at Pasco and then it was like that's a good thing we would like meet up and you'd be like nah man like I can't connect with these dudes that's probably what kept us motivated was going back to Canada and being like yo I'm back in my golf course job [ __ ] that or whatever right well you just didn't see eye to eye with like some you couldn't like some conversations didn't really like I don't know it's just different dude the energy like I'm sure you can relate like when you're in LA and it's like every coffee shop everywhere you go everyone is just trying to [ __ ] like it's not weird to talk about how to make a viral video or like oh how did that post go up towards yeah make the best okay you go home and they're [ __ ] like talking about the rims on their truck and [ __ ] you're surrounded by it you're consumed in it which could technically like people say it could it's it could be mentally a bad thing but it's also kind of like maybe what it takes you know what I mean yeah but whenever we were there like I think I remember sometimes like yeah 100 and then we would do different trips then we'd go to Florida for a little bit we did that but then there was a time where like dude we I remember we were trying to follow the typical prank model and like I don't know what it was we were doing but like remember remember when we lived in Florida with like Tori and like we were shooting like skits yeah yeah I don't know why yeah I don't know why we did that I don't know what I'm trying to think but like whatever we were doing was not working at that time like people just weren't [ __ ] with it can you tell me about the audience wasn't [ __ ] with it yeah they were [ __ ] with it like we were uploading skits on the channel yeah oh we did like yeah and like Facebook was taking off yeah that that [ __ ] so maybe we started to focus because we needed money so we started doing other so we got money I remember in Florida too and we always get like doing sketch comedy too so it's like we kind of did try to do that like not faking pranks but like sketch comedy like that you I was like Kissed a Girl or like some [ __ ] you're in bed oh girl yeah that was in Canada but I remember that that was around yeah I don't remember that sketch so we were trying that type of [ __ ] and it just wasn't working and dude I literally remember like the YouTube was not working and like we even said like yo I don't know if the YouTube's gonna work out like we're like really I swear to God bro like I was like I don't know like I was like maybe we just like do this Facebook [ __ ] and like we can kind of be more on the back end and like make money like doing that what do you do you remember what you filmed after that or what and then I think it was I I remember you guys this is this one it [ __ ] switched was when we said like yo let's just do this let's upload three times that's just what to say that's a lot this was right before the like grind started right yeah it was editing at this point both just uh sharing it that's wild how did that change for the whole Channel when you do three times a week at that point we said let's just I don't know what we did we said let's just I don't know yeah we just said let's do it and let's stick to it and we just did it and we just I think that's when we got in the car and road trip to VidCon yeah and we just we just did it so we were on the road like driving staying at fans houses and we were filming and editing at the same time so you're on the road you're filming and you're [ __ ] then at night like you're editing and you're uploading on the road in motels yeah I remember it was the best Wi-Fi spot Motel dude we used to go to we could know because they were always [ __ ] so we tried to go to fans houses I remember we would make a story being like who's got they would send us their like rating of their like how strong their internet was and we would like drive to their house Snapchat was key for us yeah but we'd also like snag a sandwich out of their fridge or something like [ __ ] you did that huh what are you a little you [ __ ] oh I'm just kidding outside of the outside of the code prank what do you guys think each of you is like your favorite prank that you guys successful prank or just one where you guys like yo that was [ __ ] hilarious that's hard do you have a favorite one if I just had to think at the top of my head like I think I like the Wine Tours I think the Bigfoot Bigfoot is funny too but besides those like movie ones like an OG one an OG one I I mean I I think if you just go back and watch any of the fake employees yeah like I told you Best Buy was hilarious yeah yeah I was watching that I was actually and like all those are just so funny like the one-liners are just like ridiculous dude like yeah they're [ __ ] like chirping hockey dads too any of that [ __ ] but yeah just go watch any fake employee prank bro like we just we're just ripping people like it's so funny yeah dude Best Buy was wait were you guys were you guys honestly were you prepping your chirps before or was it kind of off the rip improv probably a lot of improv but you'd sometimes like I remember what I used to write in my notes like just like funny [ __ ] couple things and you'd see if you'd remember some but most of it would be I know I'll drop a line and this guy would be like you didn't just think of that I'm like dude I mean both of you I'm like holy [ __ ] because it's so it's so on point so yeah question because he wanted to answer that yeah yeah he wanted he wanted it you know what you're doing because you also have to like there's this like Weird Science of like giving them a bit to make them think that this is a real conversation so you don't go too far but then also still pulling off like hilarious [ __ ] like and [ __ ] with them yeah you're like controlling this like manipulating this conversation well you guys never really freeze up I noticed too well I was actually gonna bring this up when you were bringing up the fire prank the first because like for me that was the first time I ever shot a prank I was doing like stunt [ __ ] and stuff but I remember I don't know if you remember this but that day I could not stop laughing oh really dude yeah like there's probably a bunch of footage where it was like every time you like you'd say anything on camera and I'd have to like turn my head away because I would because I didn't know how to like not [ __ ] freeze up and like bro I remember I just couldn't keep it together that's the only time I'll laugh I'll never laugh at myself but I'll laugh at like if you say something or if you said something like I would laugh I'll laugh at other people but if it's myself I'm I could keep a straight face like if you two did like the moaning in the ear thing yeah I could I wouldn't be able to like sit there and just be like in your like face and [ __ ] like I couldn't that would get me something like that for sure so once what happened after the coke prank how big because that was the biggest video ever what changed I don't know was it big over time no it was big over time yeah it went big like off the break it went viral but like it not like 10 million or some [ __ ] so when do you think was the big breaking point when I don't think there were other creators started to give you respect or yeah like we said we got in the car and we were driving and then it was a pretty crazy we were going to go to VidCon you know what that is it was it's way bigger back then than it was now but all the YouTubers went okay so like you know I don't know who was really big at the time but like who was there really that was like like the phase guys I guess like yeah the phase guys were there and like probably like Wolfie was big at that time yeah probably like ricegum I don't know who else was really big entry arrested yeah it was like a totally different yeah crowd so we were gonna go to VidCon that was our plan so we drove state of fans houses and then YouTube was very YouTubey like at that point yeah all the stars were like [ __ ] PG-13 and [ __ ] like it's pretty and then I think we stayed at Big dawes's House yep we filmed with him we stayed at his house and then on the way from Arizona to L.A Jesse's car car broke down in Palm Springs yeah the engine blue in the toaster and then what happened there well I remember like we brought to the shop in like we don't have any [ __ ] money and then they did they like they didn't speak English very well or something but yeah it just took like a whole like week and they kept saying this part's coming in this part's coming in this part's coming in but they put the wrong end engine in do you remember that yeah they [ __ ] it up and then we like come back we're like ready to go and they're like we put the wrong engine in dude why would they not tell you yeah but we also didn't have like we didn't even know how we were gonna pay for the car getting fixed and we had to get home to Canada after this too oh [ __ ] so we're like what the [ __ ] do we do I think we were questioning leaving it and I was like yeah maybe you're not leaving it that's my [ __ ] baby what do we do we did leave it and come back though because we snapped out and fan a fan a group of fans came to get us they drove to proper Springs they picked us up and they brought us to VidCon I think we like slept on their like Hotel like floor and [ __ ] like was that the night it was you're [ __ ] sleeping on like floors like a lot I thought it was an LA house a floor that we slept on that night do you remember we like went to VidCon oh yeah we probably stayed at their house maybe eventually yeah I don't know but yeah and then we made it to VidCon and I think one thing that really motivated us there I remember is actually phase adapt that said it um so shout out to him I remember that when he came up to us yeah he came up to us and he's just like yo and this one phase was like really big too and he was like he was like Yo dude like like your guys videos are [ __ ] hilarious like me and all the boys we always get high and [ __ ] watch your guys videos all the time and we're like damn like all right like oh wow you know and I remember that kind of stuck with me too so that was just a respect and then it got you guys motivated it's just like when someone with like two million Subs at the time yeah is that to you like you know when did merch come into play because it was such a big piece of your guys's success right yeah I think I think after that we kind of just kept it going and kept the three a week thing going and doing trips like you know with Nina we would go to like I think we did like Boston and New Jersey and like yeah we would just keep traveling traveling traveling traveling you know keeping it going three times a week and then Florida was the first drop I think with those crew neck hoodies yeah remember that but yeah yeah the first drop look like but I also remember your dad made that yeah oh [ __ ] yeah I think what was it George hennen that was first that was probably our first but your dad made that hoodie right was your dad your mom so I think did they Source it off yeah I was like from China yeah I remember because we got it we gave them we gave them a certainly a champion hoodie and we were like off yeah with this like yeah we sent in a champion hoodie I don't know I forgot my they actually did that off Alibaba I didn't I forgot yeah they s so my dad was like kind of because my parents used to Source like [ __ ] from China yeah they used to sell these like spray fans that were like yeah yeah electric powered things so they knew how to do it so I guess we gave them the champion hoodie they sent it in and then I don't know if there was a couple trials but we we used the and like the classic n logo and we ordered 2 000 of them I think yeah because there's no full sent at this point right we're not designing that right yeah so do you remember if it sold out yeah yeah were you guys surprised by that or were you like I don't really remember that I don't think they were surprised though like or how much we made or anything yeah I don't think I don't think we were surprised because we we like could gauge the demand of it um based on like the response yeah I think we knew it was gonna sell so were the fans like asking you guys yo we need merch we need well we showed it to them we showed them the sample and everyone went nuts and the hoodies were fire whoa that is true now I look back at it we were showing them the process yeah which probably built the demand yeah like that's pretty good yeah we showed them like yo this is the first sample and you know it was the first time we did it and the hoodies were dope they were like they were [ __ ] just the Classic n in like blue gray pink like Maroon yeah so they're just like they were dope like yeah so we yeah and I think by the demand we knew that it was gonna be big and yeah I think I think they sold out in like 30 minutes probably that's [ __ ] wild bro I was gonna say I remember the first real one that it was like when we were in Miami and we were still like I don't think we had that much money no boys Canada yeah yeah on the on those like college [ __ ] varsity sweaters and yeah I think we shot we shot like a merch promo in Niagara yeah we had like a bunch of chicks over I remember that like it's all Rona season like Chronos and [ __ ] yeah yeah that was like what the first big merch shoot yeah I always say this number but because I was there actually really yeah like didn't we do like I swear to God 700 kids uh um like I remember it being something this was in Miami who was uh who was a part of the team at that point just me Jesse and I know so Nano's fully on the team yeah and how long do you think he'd been there I don't know maybe like under a year yeah and how did you guys want to talk about like the first time you filmed with him or it's just a funny story yeah like the way Nano came into it was that he he went to my high school I wasn't like super friends with him like I knew him um but he he was always like doing photography he lives literally a minute and a half from my house like I swear so like drive so he was always horny with his camera around and [ __ ] I'd see him walking around the neighborhood me and Lucas would see him play in Pokemon go around the neighborhood and [ __ ] are you playing Pokemon go like a year after it came out he was at Walmart right yeah yeah and he was working at Walmart and it was a time when everyone was vlogging like this yeah so like no disrespect to him but like me and you literally said like yo we just need someone to hold the camera because we want it to be like the third person right view because it was way cooler than like doing this which was Game Changer I think we were one of the first to do that right yeah because everyone was doing daily vlogging we thought it was cringy we're like that's like dust like we wanted to be like a TV show like exactly I remember that and then I think naino is just at Walmart so he had a lot of days off so whenever he was free he would come and just shoot for free and stuff and then eventually we started paying him just like a day rate or something to come film yeah and then eventually we just said hey dude like quit your job were you guys surprised how how the three of you just immediately clicked like that yeah the first time 9-0 Nano was behind the camera for a while and then we flipped it during the George hennen video that we did that was like this big video too they didn't know who he was and they didn't know who he was and then he slowly became more and more of a character that he actually is that character yeah no it was it was like yeah like we just needed someone to hold the camera and then it was like magic it's like he he just was the perfect character to be the guy behind the camera to then start becoming like you know what I mean it was just [ __ ] it was like it was good you didn't really have to force it no like put that guy beside a chick and he's just gonna be like yeah really well yeah it's just like she's crazy even I just saw him recently he's the exactly he's a funny guy he won't change till he's like 40. like he'll be the same [ __ ] just he's just so funny like um okay so we were at Miami so after that huge murder shop in Miami where you got where are you living at that point you remember that's we had I think that that time now we had some air Airbnb kind of money yeah but not even like we're all in one Airbnb I think you even [ __ ] brought your girl at the time yeah and like we're all sleeping in the same room oh my God like me here Jesse Rings his [ __ ] chair how hard is it how hard is it to have a girlfriend when you're staying at fans houses and stuff well that I don't know if she was down when we were at Fair Airbnb it was okay but not but that I do remember oh okay that was probably a dick move on my part you're like man you gotta be your girlfriend yeah it's like [ __ ] you [ __ ] so how did it go from that to then getting into the cloud house when you guys all moved in there that was cool yeah Banks uh sent us a DM and was like I can't remember what he said but he was just basically like he's you know Banks he's just right to the point he's like you guys are dope [ __ ] come out here come [ __ ] move in how crazy well this is one this one the cloud house was like the biggest it was yeah like it was like give us an idea it was always like the FaZe Banks first Jake Paul drama like Alissa Violet [ __ ] just went down like it was the prime of the cloud house and we like they were all over YouTube we were obviously seeing them and Banks started shouting us out in his YouTube channel and he was pulling like five mil like a Blog and he started shouting us out in his his YouTube videos oh yeah he did yeah and we're like what the [ __ ] like that's when you start seeing [ __ ] like that and it's just motivating like you're getting shouted out like we're getting shouted out by Banks yeah he's in the cloud house like we're like dude what the [ __ ] what was he saying just like yo go watch these guys I [ __ ] with them they're hilarious yeah I think so and they're saying like yo we gotta get milk out here and [ __ ] and we're like like yeah definitely was one that till the day I die that dude [ __ ] like for you he never took a dollar never like coolest [ __ ] guy ever met for you like Jesse like seeing that like was that like like what the hell like what's going on yeah because there was probably still at that point a little bit of that like like that [ __ ] yeah is this gonna work this yeah yeah like when we were at that point we were grinding like grinding to make it and like I don't know it was just one of those like moments that were like tipped you over the edge of like [ __ ] this gonna work yeah like I remember we were on our way back from like New Jersey or some [ __ ] to Canada and yeah Banks tweeted us and said yo you guys ready to move in and we literally flew out probably five days later like we went home like we're out like I was like we're flying it like we're going now that's wild and that was the crazy it was good that you and me were both those guys that were not like oh well I gotta make sure this is ready and we were like are you guys ready we both saw Vision we were like nah dude like yes like don't no questions yeah we weren't like people that would wait around and be like all right well I need time to situate this yeah it's like yo when's the next flight like two days from now like we're going and [ __ ] you know that's awesome I I think that was probably a pretty damn pivotal moment yeah that's what I was gonna say when you asked about that like what was like a Tipping Point like it was like that was like it put us in the mix it's the same way that like when you found Steve and then because we're at the cloud house and you know working your magic and all the [ __ ] and Steve just being like an icon it like that's why Steve blew up in like a [ __ ] but this is when we only went for a week right oh that's one way did he did he oh we weren't moved yeah film first and then later asked you to move in yeah yeah so what happened first time you guys go there well we didn't just driving up The Hollywood Hills for the first time we stayed there yeah yeah we stayed for a whole week oh yeah we did okay sorry my [ __ ] member I know it's harder I've totally forgot that we only went for a week yeah we just like I mean Summer Rae was there uh Wolfie was there he was massive at the time ricegum was massive at the time Banks was and then yeah phase adapt like temper all the phase guys they were they were all there now what's going through your guys's mind when this is like when you're seeing all this like honestly going into the house it's pretty crazy bro it was it was very surreal like a video game this was the top YouTube crew yeah like at the time right and it was just like holy [ __ ] it was crazy but even then bro it's interesting because I remember too even then people were saying we switched up really oh like you guys went Hollywood already like yeah I swear I totally remember when we first moved into the cloud house it's like I remember thinking like all right we gotta stay Canadian and like we [ __ ] hung up the Canadian flag we got like Tim Horton's espresso [ __ ] and like so I remember that too that was honestly a challenge too it's just funny yeah it's like we did yeah did you guys film a video that week there with like a collab yeah we did like a calling in sick I think yeah yeah we did that was like our go-to because it was like so easy to bang out because we quickly also realized that doing a collab with someone big that doesn't know how to do pranks is kind of like yeah you can't like make him go do this then they're not gonna perform or like same thing with the lecture prank I feel like we did that a lot because it was just like just be loud is that what you guys did UCLA too I remember you guys did a video on UCLA were you guys probably the typewriter it was typewriter but then yeah then I think we probably went back to Canada and then we came back and then Banks let us move in that's why and then we I don't know how long we lived there and it you guys are just shacked up in two rooms or what did that look like he gave us those rooms on the side right me and Jesse had a room there was a bathroom in the middle and then my room and then there was like it was the guest area and then there was like a little living space room and then there was a bunk bed room with four bunk beds and that's when we we hired eyes ozgod he came out um manager Drew was there those boys were grinding too and that [ __ ] little hot yeah like I don't think there was AC and there's no way because we did our a lot of our accessories for Merch are you guys they're all in one room four guys yeah I was gonna ask so are you guys everyone else at this point is kind of like starting to see real money and you guys are still like trying to get to that point trying to think were we more famous than rich like we were definitely making money at that point because that's when we're like all right we hired osgod to like kind of edit the videos because naino was never editing the video yes and Oscar has like eight Rollies so yeah well we definitely had money what man but we were still just putting it kind of all into the the operation how much did that change for the channel and the views when you move into that house on a Content side just with collabing having all those guys yeah a lot I remember seeing [ __ ] naino and that and Matthews was there Yeah Austin Matthews came to the car okay so you guys [ __ ] played hockey when they're in the back I remember watching those videos and [ __ ] yeah and then uh that's when you guys like invited us to come out I remember Kyle hit me up I was like Hey like like this from a prank whatever we did sneezing right we're sneezing that was the first one yeah um but I remember you guys were having like a merch drop like when we came upstairs I remember manager Drew got us upstairs on that glass table yeah all you guys last two you guys were you guys look like you guys look stressed yeah that's pretty much what happened and then I just remembered when the merch shop went I was like bro what the [ __ ] type of numbers are these like what the hell is going on here I wonder if at that time it was like really going on yeah I remember playing Pawn with like Nano like we were playing like uh ping pong and then like it was just such a total operation the one thing I really really remember man was bro we're or you guys were filming it was Adrian and I think ozgod pushed you and Kyle into the pool and you got shoddied in the pool I will never forget that moment and me and cousin are just sitting in the back like yo dude like we were just living in the car but no I don't know it was just such a great opportunity and then we did sneezing like me and Kyle just sneezing now what was that week for you because I don't even know I'm saying to me because I obviously knew who you guys were like I've watched you guys like I've watched all your guys videos I'm not gonna lie yeah I think everybody knows that but um I don't know the claw house was like such a surreal moment in my eyes because it just it was such a total operation like that opened my eyes like okay bro if you want to be if you want to really really get to that top this is how it's gonna have to look you got to be stressed the [ __ ] out it's not gonna be all Dandy and like happy and like yo we're filming videos I just posted this is that now this operation but I've seen how you guys were and you were money at the time like you were like I was very I was very scared I was very very scared I was like bro I'm meeting like one of my idols like seriously I remember seeing you too you're at the table and it seemed like you were very stressed out because you really wanted the merch shop to do well and I I thought I think it was going live in like 30 45 minutes I think you guys were doing videos on phone to promote it on Instagram yeah I didn't know what the hell was going on there but I kind of realized that when you guys got pushed in the pool I was like okay yeah the merch shop yeah you guys had the funnels that 60 Minute window when like a drop would happen would be a chaotic yes that's something going on with Shopify because we'd crashed the site so yeah you guys crash site we have to get more promo up we have to tell people that something's sold out that that would always be this like high it's almost like gambling but I I really actually had like back then like even now too like I admire the fact that like dude you guys were like like that showed me a lot like I think that's what made me want to keep going as well yeah it was ridiculous bro dude it was ridiculous it was ridiculous what do you guys thinking about those days it's just like it's dope it was a good time it was just like crazy but I think now when I look back on it I kind of said it in the video too it's just like I would recommend to like younger people to but you can't like recreate it it's so hard to explain it's just like like we were just going yeah like you know like we weren't like we were strategic and we were thinking and it would it was not luck there's obviously maybe some luck but like we were very strategic with everything we did but at the same time it's also like damn we were just like in the zone right like I think that's what like short-circuited me a bit at a certain point like it was the exactly what you just said it was like what is so you start thinking right like now it's like I don't gotta worry about all these things we got money coming in we got this everything's working and it's like what is the goal post I mean I mean when you continuously just grind like trying and keep going I'm sure luck is going to play a part in a lot of things right like getting that perfect reaction or yeah getting those days we're like okay we just banged out a prank in 30 seconds I mean I think that plays a part with you working so hard like three times a week yeah how you guys said I mean you're bound to have it right was there any point when you guys started making that real money and you're in the cloud house like all the distractions start to come in like I think we were pretty [ __ ] like still just like dialed if anything other people were distracted and like they were kind of had already made it a bit Yeah so like they weren't working as hard I think we were like by far and like I've heard other people say like we were like the hardest working team in that house like we were like dialed well I don't want to speak for you but I think that what it is is you and me were grinding like we went through all the other [ __ ] so it was like once you get a glimpse of like this all paying off and working it was like we're like dude this is time to press play like we gotta [ __ ] go go by any means at all like we were like still like on the come up you know yeah but it opened up so many you could collab with [ __ ] anyone you could [ __ ] it was like I remember you were wanting to like meet Nigel and [ __ ] right dude and then I was like slowly like people that we were like dreaming of meeting yeah like next thing you know Niger posts a feed put like a [ __ ] Instagram feed post with Jesse like skateboarding with him yeah [ __ ] like that was happening where I was like I knew that was like a Austin Matthews is coming to our [ __ ] crib like playing hockey with them in the Hollywood Hills like I'm a kid from [ __ ] like I've been a Hoops fan like it's just like what the [ __ ] is going on I feel like that does happen it was always interesting too to see who was like he throws us up on his feed too yeah he writes milk boys like it's just like [ __ ] just keeps going it comes from hard work right I mean like yeah yeah look at it it was cool to see like who was like your idols and who you were like stoked on and then who would I be stoked on and like that whole like you don't want to be too like Fanboy or whatever but like it's like someone that like half people here wouldn't even be like tripping about and I'd be like [ __ ] like yo what's up man you might as well but then like someone else it's like big and but you're not it's not your guy like you're like chilling but yeah but I think we definitely me and Jesse understood the YouTube game yeah I was gonna say what do you think made you guys different we knew how to grow subscribers we knew how to like pitch people ideas right like like you know we would like not that we were using people but like we were like we knew how to collab with people and like you know you always got to present someone to like your idea to that person how is it beneficial for them or like do you know you'd think they'd like this idea 100 so you know we'd brainstorm like if we wanted to do something with Nigel like yo what are we gonna do this no no no this no that yeah yeah and we would know and we would we were good at collabing yeah I think with people and like collabing with bigger people and since we were the I think we were the first YouTubers I don't want to say first someone will call me out but like we're the first people to kind of like be degenerates for sure YouTube for sure yeah like one of the first popular people to be degenerate so like people wanted to work with the cool YouTubers dude no one drink beer I remember that now we would walk around with two fours and you're instantly the life of the party because it was like oh what the [ __ ] like they actually brought beer like they didn't know what that was like shotgunning they didn't know what that was like it was like I don't know it's interesting to think about that the Canadian Circus in L.A like where you're [ __ ] showing up and it was like different than what everyone else's Vibe was if that makes sense so when did when did full sun come into the picture when was that created that was from Laurence you said right I heard another boiler on his mouth but I think um would you say that was an when the brand really elevated when it went from just now to full send merch wise I guess it was that white T-shirt yeah we just put full sun on it and then that that girl at a gas station or something did the promo right wasn't that the first time we like marketed it uh-huh I wonder if I could find that clip I wonder episodes I didn't have to be cool to look at yeah this is kind of off topic this is for all three of you but uh if you had to look back what do you think which prank gave you the biggest adrenaline rush or were you most [ __ ] nervous in the moment but what was the scariest [ __ ] to do Coke prank in uh Mexico yeah for sure I mean I heart was racing you were pushing it you were [ __ ] forgot about that dude they're like taking our car and [ __ ] and you're like still going ripping jokes I'm like bro let's get the [ __ ] out of this country that was nuts that was a crazy one man watching porn in a lecture would always be pretty uh like I mean it's just it's an adrenaline rush it's like what the [ __ ] this whole [ __ ] a tour like everyone is looking like hearing you do this pretty far if I had about cooked prank in Mexico that's a legendary one yeah that's a tough question well everyone always talks about two of you you never break characters so it's like in the moment are you [ __ ] freaking out or yeah like which one twisted you up sleep like just like [ __ ] or you didn't want to do it or some [ __ ] you know I don't think there's ever been a prank where I felt as if I was scared to do I I'm being generally honest I don't know why I've never seen you hesitate on anything I really don't because it takes a lot for someone to really hate you right I mean other than like I've never been to jail I mean obviously once in Alabama but uh besides that I mean you're never gonna be scared of some unless it happens right yeah it happens a second time but it's like oh [ __ ] dude yeah I just went through a wrong experience for me it was the arresting [ __ ] that would freak me out the arresting [ __ ] yeah and I personally Never Scared me or like getting punched Never Scared me it was like oh my God right yeah it doesn't it doesn't necessarily scare me I think where I felt as if man this is too much yeah probably aggressively like uh when we were vaping in people's faces oh yeah I thought that was like okay man you're just being a [ __ ] yeah I mean but it was uh with the sideways hats and [ __ ] yeah I think with that prank in my opinion I was just like all right let's not make it known let's not make it feel as if you're actually [ __ ] baving this [ __ ] space whose idea was that one I don't see you right didn't you start the video right back then I didn't break back then I thought he did that he started those guys the sus dudes were doing the sus dudes did it shout out to those guys yeah and honestly like uh I remember they did it and then we just decided yo I remember we shouted them out in the video as well well we brought them out to collaborate yeah yeah so yeah they collab with us um I'm thinking about the Instagram prank um that we posted but um it was a good one to do on someone's boyfriend in front of their girlfriend so you can Vape in their face and then oh hit on the girl yeah that was so flirting with uh girls that's some of your best [ __ ] flirting with uh girls in front of their boyfriends yeah that's just hilarious I thought that was hilarious that's pretty for me like I like testing people a lot when it comes to like just pranks because you just never know what the hell was gonna happen I like that risk but I mean it's not always smart to do yeah yeah but I've never been really you know like scared or felt like something bad may happen I I don't know maybe I'm like a psychopath but I think I think yeah just like the cloud house though was just like yeah it was just [ __ ] all right boys hope you're enjoying the Pod this episode is

remember I went out with all the guys Banks took us out to like a club I got blacked out and uh apparently I ended up going to like three other [ __ ] parties I heard the next day but like I don't remember any of this and I just disappeared and then um like the cloud house like all the homes look the exact exact same like they all look like there's cookies yeah and I guess I came home and like went to the wrong house and I don't even know how I got in there but I I'm in the house and I'm in the top floor I'm like eating food out of the fridge like chocolate cake and [ __ ] and then I left the sink running and then I passed out on this guy's couch and the the apartment started flooding and then the guy woke up like three floors flooding and then he came out in like [ __ ] holy thought that I was like a breaking entry called the cops wake up to like [ __ ] shotguns pointed at me like thrown on the ground dude it was [ __ ] what and then I get like so I'm in the back of this cop car and you know after being blacked out even if you get woken up it's like you're like half out of it still yeah and I'm like [ __ ] dude I live here he's like dude you don't live here he's like you're going downtown like you're done and then [ __ ] foosh saves my goddamn life and I'm and he walks out because he because they're all Gamers so they were working they're like you know gaming late and I don't even know what happened but somehow he like came outside what's up they probably saw the sirens oh yeah that's what yeah there's probably cops everywhere and uh and then he's like he vouched for me and was like yeah he lives here and all this [ __ ] and then the owner of the house came out and was like if he pays for the damages then like yeah he's good to go and then yeah lost all the money in my account and [ __ ] good play by that guy though how much was that like 15K 41 000. what is she doing I didn't know it was that much damn dude it was all my money no Jesse what are you doing there holy [ __ ] like 41 000 what'd you do well dude the whole house flooded in a [ __ ] oh you flooded it okay yeah I didn't know it was 40. that's wild how do you how do you come back from that oh that was probably the start of my [ __ ] like wake up calls and like [ __ ] man yeah I had really bad anxiety after that oh God and then [ __ ] gambles banging on my door the next morning why did he do that did I tell you that oh he like he was I don't even think he knew what was going on he was drunk or something but he like banged on my door and was like the cops he's like open up and I [ __ ] I'm in my boxers and I'm dude I'm like probably slept like an hour I have so much anxiety I like pounce out of my bed and like put on clothes in like two seconds because I'm like I'm not going to jail in my boxers and then I like open the door and it's [ __ ] him he's like what's up his head sideways I'm like dude my heart is literally beating through my chest like holy that's [ __ ] nuts dude it was crazy that's the crazy story yeah damn bro that's a tough tough bill to pay yeah um how much longer after that I'm sorry bro how much longer after that were you guys in the cloud house I don't know like when did you move out go to Fredonia they were they were moving out right I think it was over the cloud house was like done yes I think I can't remember or maybe maybe we just [ __ ] up I think we [ __ ] off to Europe yeah that's what it was okay we went to Europe everyone knows that was a legendary [ __ ] yeah that's I mean and then that's the next step like where we like really elevated and we were doing one video every Monday shooting it editing it sounds like timing was just key like you have nowhere to go you're like [ __ ] it let's go to Europe and it just elevates the entire Channel because now we have the funds to go do that yeah with Oz God and everyone it was like we weren't just dropping a YouTube video every Monday it was like a [ __ ] movie it was like every week shooting it and editing it yeah one week what do you think we'd shoot Monday to Thursday or Friday and then boom edit edit edit get it up Monday and same [ __ ] so like they're seeing it live on their stories and the videos like out that same week which is like pretty [ __ ] crazy yeah those are some of the best videos yeah Europe's legendary I mean that's when Steve was obviously just like you know Steve joined and he was he took milk to another level for sure right like a massive yeah that's when he proposed to 90 in front of the Eiffel Tower right and you guys did soccer balls out there too yeah where was that London or something yes those guys got pissed they were trying to scrap us and [ __ ] I remember and then MTD Pat on there bro MTV Pat how did you guys decide I don't know I've never heard this how did you decide yeah we got to put MTV Pat in the videos how did that start he must have came down to like visit us and then was just it was always just like once in a while in it or yeah even in your old Vlogs and like I always thought he was jokes too you obviously thought he was jokes yeah I think he was down to come I was even like I was like oh yeah is he down to come the father figure is a funny character and he's like hilarious yeah so [ __ ] funny bro and that was an epic trip yeah that was a thing even then it's different because like we were [ __ ] we had 13 people probably we had three editors ozgod di Tomas Adrian yeah me Jesse Nano Steve Jason Ernie clay Drew Laurence was there chefing yeah and you had nine up it was an operation man yeah how great how crazy is to think back moving like that with 13 people and that's got to be expensive as [ __ ] right it wasn't oh yeah it was expensive and at that point are you guys like trying to like even save money or just putting everything like yo let's just [ __ ] we're trying to make it as big as possible whatever we're going right back into it yeah yeah and airbnbs weren't cheap out there for 13 people wow he's like almost you guys definitely [ __ ] them up you could even see him in the video did you guys even care or no oh yeah we were [ __ ] up some for sure I think one in France got [ __ ] up him and Steve would go through a phase of just like when they would get drunk just like slimy beer bottles freaking [ __ ] yeah why man I don't know you can't explain it like we would do that it would just like throw [ __ ] just get [ __ ] up just randomly yeah we never even uploaded the Paris no we didn't upload it because it was too [ __ ] it was just like disrespectful it wasn't funny it was just like yeah [ __ ] yeah after Europe did you is that when you guys moved right into Fredonia pretty much I was back in Canada with that Ohio yeah I was like bro what the [ __ ] is Jesse at I remember me I think yeah I think we stayed at Brad's for a little bit just and we were talking about we're looking for houses and then we found the yeah the first first nail Coast that we actually right paid for ourselves and signed a lease yeah how big of a moment was that it was pretty big yeah but yeah Europe was when I think Europe was the Prime was still the biggest drop we ever did it was it was right after the wine tour one of them that was the biggest drop not the biggest I thought is that the one we were like in a hotel room like 13 million dollars in gross revenue wow 30 minutes wait Fredonia wasn't the biggest no no is that that hotel no no no we're all like biggest drop I think oh I I think I remember maybe that one was tied probably tied yeah yeah I just remember like no the one where we had the screen outside that one was crazy too I remember this guy Kyle was like Drew [ __ ] fix this [ __ ] right now because some [ __ ] crashed I remember you said that man you were like dude fix that right now like you had a beer in your hand dude that was hilarious just to give people an idea it was crazy to see yeah oh yeah that was a huge drop too how many people are live on the site he said it's 30 minutes right was it like 300 400 we've done over three hundred thousand yeah 350 000 fans are waiting to buy that's merch at once that's amazing that'll never not trip me out that's like 350 000 people with a credit card like yeah right like imagine that many people like checking out at a [ __ ] venue or something I don't think that's ever been done like that's like some Kylie Jenner [ __ ] like I was gonna say are any other creators move in merch like that that you guys have seen I haven't seen it's got to be up there with like a supreme or something like I wonder what what's back when Supreme's Prime yeah because it's probably pretty insane for them too but that's like an insane number like what the hell bro 350 000 people just there when there's five minutes to go a million dollars a minute for like the first four minutes I remember I'm [ __ ] you're nervous right I mean I bet I mean that's like crazy 350. it didn't look real it was 150 000 people God damn it like that's a lot of people it's crazy yeah just getting that amount of people on that site is just like pretty ridiculous yeah that's that's insane finally older I get the more like these numbers like [ __ ] like I was even just like like this podcast like million [ __ ] people are just gonna like dissect this conversation and like it's [ __ ] nuts like it's when you think about it you can't you almost can't think about it it's like it's [ __ ] so much people that is pretty crazy because I remember when that that drop did so I remember wearing suits yeah and you were in the pool for some goddamn reason well for every merch drop we would try to think of something like engaging to do on the day that we would like post on our stories so like our story views would be like the highest on the day yep to like because because then when we would post the merch was live it would be like the most amount of people seeing it dude that was that was very that was all part of the geniusness of it though like even like that was just as important like how many people would do a drop and they would do a countdown and then they'd [ __ ] post it see like how shotgunning behind the bar we had oh yeah yeah at that point you guys were so good at hyping that [ __ ] up like dude you come up with like 10 ideas like oh we're gonna have three hookers come by and then they'll be doing this you just create a circus amazing that's like genius right like that's genius like seeing that was like what do you think the biggest key to that was like why do you think that we were able to get like 300 000 people on the site honestly not to be corny but I think that's where I Gotta Give like the Roses to you man like that's where that's where like I even like still in business I'm doing now like I still take that energy of like how you you just like understand how to like build hype properly and how to Market and like create real hype and it's like yeah and I'm sure yeah we both had ideas and did [ __ ] but like dude I think that was a science to why it like was different than anyone else it [ __ ] it's just like I think one thing that I noticed as a fan was just everyone watched your guys's entire Journey so everybody wanted yeah the story selling the storyline and it's a true story that's what I was gonna say where it was like it's not like we like you know [ __ ] up or anything it's just like I think we were just literally like in this Mission and it kind of like lasted for as long as it did and like like the fact that we went from doing like three videos a week to like you know what I mean a video every single Monday shooting and editing like we can't even do that right now yeah we have like a whole machine behind us too it's just like once you have that jolt of energy like I feel like if you're like a young Creator like you gotta capitalize on that no because it's I don't even know how to describe it it's just like it's to me it's now all a blur like it's just like damn we were just like go go go go go go go go go like yeah you can't replicate that energy yeah but you showcase that I remember I can't remember what video was but you guys were driving from I think Cali to Canada and you almost stopped and I want to say Chicago because I know how to grow there or some [ __ ] but you literally showed you guys in a shitty car all three of you jam-packed in there like in every video you just saw like the entire storyline dude like you're thinking about that when you're a fan of someone and you're like about to press purchase on a hoodie you're 100 being like wow like oh [ __ ] like and I think I'm buying into this [ __ ] like we were literally looking at the camera and we were like saying like yo guys like you guys are funding this yeah yeah we make YouTube money right we had zero brand deals that I can remember like I don't think we were too like R-rated yeah I guess and no one was paying us brand deals like literally like the fans were buying merch and with the merch money we were like flying to Europe like getting the airbnbs paying for the videos to go out like it was like a real thing right and so that's why I think it was so successful too we have the fans that are so engaged and they're thinking yo we gotta see this story continue and that's the only way to see it yeah the fans pretty much built the channel I've seen two even Kyle like when that merch drop happened when um we were all in suits yeah um just like how quick you were to think of like yo man like you're just quick to think of like the greatest [ __ ] to happen for now yeah because the merch shop dropped or it's about to drop whatever the case might be and like just thinking like what is going to make the [ __ ] even go anything I remember we bought that's 500 tens and put them in my G wagon so that when I open the door like we just like cool that's a 10 second clip that'll [ __ ] bang then it was like another one like you know I mean it was just a lot of things that were very eye-catching yeah I wish we had like behind the scenes footage of that [ __ ] that was amazing [ __ ] it was like it's pretty magical like what we did like what were some other things that you guys did like that because I remember like Steve's boot was just so on brand and so perfect for him oh yeah you had a new one every drop like there's just like little things like that that were just I think perfect for each guy kind of the first people to like definitely from YouTube to start like sourcing hard goods and like like [ __ ] like that the shotgun tool and making our own and like that was another pivoting point I think that like separated us from like a merch company clay was a hard good guy dude yeah and you'd have to he'd have to work throughout the night to talk to China that's wild yeah so at that I remember that was the first night I ever went to Fredonia was the suit drop and you guys had a [ __ ] party at the house I came with Bob and I was like yo this is [ __ ] in I'd never seen anything like that did you see the drop or the just the party just the party the party yeah but I was like you have a live tattoo artists yeah so many I remember him I was like Demi Lovato I was like yo this is [ __ ] crazy there's so many hot chicks like when I went I was like yo these guys are the [ __ ] [ __ ] like that's the kind of scene like you know people want to be in yeah so at that point when Merchant stuff you guys would say you're pretty much on top like you went from kind of the new guys to like yo 100 man 350 000 people yeah we were that's insane we were yeah so what's what's the motivated and how do you what's the next step after that like when you reach that you're like [ __ ] how do we how do you get creative at that point it's tougher I mean I think I mean yeah when the money does come it does it does make it it does change it a bit mentally yeah yeah right it changes it a bit because it's not you don't have to do it yeah right before we had to do it we had to right like that's what it was so it was like when you don't have to do something then you know it's it's not as right you're not gonna go watch a porn video in a lecture when you have that kind of money coming in you're not as a like incentivized to go do yeah and also we had been doing it longer too so the stuff that you know we wanted to do can get like repetitive or like what's that saying that it's hard to train in silk sheets like they say they're like Conor McGregor or some [ __ ] so right I think that but I think that's just a learning curve you just have to like find what you're like maybe it's more about just like oh we can do a bigger video and I'm super excited about shooting this certain thing or moving the goal post but it's tough when you've been doing it for a while too and like also we'd both been arrested like Jesse twice yeah yeah like even now I'll still think like we will think of some prank ideas that I know would Bang and I'm like we were about to shoot it too like we've been talking about the two touchy thing or it's just like oh yeah but it's like I want to do it but it's like just pushing myself to do that like prank that like I might get in shade or I might get [ __ ] hit it's just like damn I just can't do it like I used to do it like it doesn't make me happy yeah you know what I'm saying so it's like I like doing the pranks that like I'm not gonna get in trouble like yeah we did the car one car wash one recently or like even the wheelchair one was like not as like you know what I'm saying yeah I mean it's but it's just tough to like when it doesn't make you happy it's not same right yeah or we would enjoy shooting pranks like back in the day like we'd probably maybe it wasn't the funnest thing ever but we had we didn't have a terrible time doing it no I mean dude I don't know about you but before I got arrested oh I definitely was like I wasn't scared of being arrested wasn't scared of getting punched in the face I was like whatever the [ __ ] we gotta do to do it yeah like there was a switch that happened for sure like it freaked me the [ __ ] out but the yeah like I can't picture me doing anything now that would like get me arrested I don't think I would yeah it's [ __ ] like if you're talking about like hey you don't have to do this it's like but I also love still doing pranks and all that [ __ ] still yeah is there anything you guys miss about doing that [ __ ] I just miss it's like missing like [ __ ] going to high school or something that's what I see it it's just like you look back on this time and it was like you know you were younger you had less worries and you just you're just like what a great [ __ ] time like right what a [ __ ] time to be alive like we were just I think if you remove all the stress of having to do it or getting arrested or any of that [ __ ] like I would go shoot with you tomorrow you know what I mean like if it was like because there is something really fun about you beat this crew and you'd watch someone go do their bit and you're like oh [ __ ] what's gonna happen and then you go do your bin you try to one-up them and then they try to one-up you and it like it is fun as [ __ ] like and then you get to go and sit with editing and [ __ ] create the comedy magic and like you guys know too once you get that good reaction you're just sitting there like yo oh God yeah it's a great feeling we said this in the knock video but our whole group was like from the editors to like even when you guys came in everyone wanted to make a good [ __ ] product you know everyone wanted to be like if we got something good it wasn't like all right like sweet like put it out like we were [ __ ] like we're ready we're proud of what we made yeah and we can't wait to share it with like very selective yeah yeah that was that's that was the best thing man we're able to all sit down together and really really watch Like Jesus Christ like we know it's gonna be good yeah that was the best feeling it's like we know it's going to be good I remember uh crashing online uh the zoom lecture video like yeah yeah that was that was people sometimes say that's like how they found us dude isn't that crazy like like I remember us sitting down and watching that and we just all clapped at the end bro that was like probably one of the most beautiful things ever I've ever seen like that was just like that was such good timing timing man such great timing and we just all like that well we had to improvise too it was like we couldn't shoot anything it was like we could shoot nothing and we're still prank calling Apple Store IDs or apple I remember you guys were sitting down yeah the Hat you know I mean you got the the hair you guys were definitely able to capitalize sorry you guys were able to capitalize on that covet situation harder than any other creators I think yeah no 100 because there's it also was at the time I think probably the most amount of people on their phone too right what else did you guys do you did something else with you did the lectures which was [ __ ] hilarious that was so viral and then what else was done well there was an endless amount of online classes so the amount of ideas you could do was pretty I remember doing the [ __ ] one remember I was like I took a [ __ ] yeah that was like insane but I just remember we just kept firing those off I did I did uh I had it yeah it was it was funny but I remember we did that and we saw what dude that was that was amazing that little couch we had downstairs oh yeah next to my [ __ ] the room that that was like it's [ __ ] terrible oh yeah but it was just I don't know it was just great because like the horse and you'll be down there rolling up a [ __ ] oh yeah dude the whole house every morning let's all let's be honest yeah the whole house isn't [ __ ] oh there was [ __ ] 15 people it was a frat house but it was beautiful when we all came together the first house we ever like actually signed a lease for yeah like that was the like it was always monthly [ __ ] yeah which was crazy I remember I'd go through Spirit spread like clean the kitchen or some [ __ ] be like yo I need a clean home and then like yeah that'll be a [ __ ] rager and I was cleaning you know I'd be in there I'd start the ranger people were making bacon ate amps there was a lot of mixed emotions you're like oh no no no we gotta be like it's like a house no it's not [ __ ] my bedroom at that house man it was like a it was like my own apartment and like we had a nice you had a nice room though I really went in there if you were on the top floor in that house you were okay it seemed like oh [ __ ] you still have people banging on them cows had nothing in there no it was like how I'm a boring guy man I just I just go to bed Steve's I don't know it's fun to dog traps every I don't know what's going on I remember I started cleaning I don't even remember this but I was like I was trying to store things in your closet [ __ ] everyone like snowboards or like some [ __ ] you're like Yo dude I'm not trying to like oh really yeah I remember one time I was cleaning up and I was like yo we got this big closet and I started like bringing all this [ __ ] upstairs you're like dude you're not moving all this [ __ ] yeah do you guys have any any other funny ass moments or like untold stories in that house the [ __ ] laundry room was a [ __ ] that's a mess it was a mountain every day it was just it just wasn't it it just wasn't much and was that enjoyable or are you guys like yo we gotta we gotta take it somewhere else after this what was that sorry like was that situation with having the entire team that was pretty much the office was that enjoyable or was it like yeah we got a keep keep going and get something better than this I don't know we probably had different opinions on them I mean for me like definitely it just I I grew up horse like it was like I it is where it is yeah I mean I don't know how you guys thought of it but I I it seemed like yeah it was definitely hectic I think I liked like alone time yeah [ __ ] that like a bench that was probably part of two it's just like eventually like because I remember we were gonna go to um was it Dubai what was it where yeah and ozgod got kovid or something happen and then I couldn't go and then I got an Airbnb because I couldn't go back to the house or something but I remember that was like the first probably because I like went to an Airbnb by myself and like probably got a taste of like a little bit of a quiet is that the khabib fight thing yeah and that was like kind of a I don't know definitely like you almost didn't think that like that's an option you're like nah dude you got to live with [ __ ] 14 dudes and keep going that's a lot of dudes man especially after doing it for a long ass time it's just like you just it's just like I'm just gonna say like what when did you guys find like a time where it was just like you're just not motivated and you're just not as into it as you used to be well probably around that time for me was there like a certain moment or you just was building up and you're like yo I gotta try something different yeah I for me uh it was just building up around that time for a while I think but it was also a mixture of a lot of things I think like I just wasn't like like in a good headspace so I just [ __ ] had to figure out some [ __ ] but uh like I'm sure it tested you a lot of times like I could tell and it was like a lot on you but you were always good to [ __ ] just like this is what we got to do [ __ ] keep it going I think I think that it's just like I understand too what you were going through too because it's like even now with like my like Health too and mental health like I realize too like dude it really is everything yeah and it's like if you don't have your mental health then like what do you really have right so like if you were going through that time when like you had like you had to do it you had to do like yeah I mean like if you were not in a good headspace and like it wasn't the best environment and all that it's like it makes total sense to me like you know best way to describe it it was crazy and it was it was like you know there was crazy even now bro it's still you know there's times where like that's why I'm even now I'm prioritizing my health and like yeah it's good there'll be certain trips that I could go on like we're talking about doing International [ __ ] like besides probably Dubai I'm not like I don't even want to travel to like get the shred done and get to that goal of like November is when it ends like I want to get healthy and like yeah put that first because dude even with the [ __ ] now like with happy Dad and [ __ ] there's a lot of there's a lot of Temptations right and like yeah like we could easily slip up and go down that that lane too so like I totally get like I get it it makes sense to me it's just a point where you realize like yo this isn't sustainable if you want to accomplish things you can't like live an unhealthy lifestyle like that no like daily the best way to describe it like is when you're at a point like say someone's going through whatever it is like [ __ ] depression or crazy anxiety or dude like even far like bipolar or schizophrenic like dude like when you go through something like that to a point where you've like redlined it I feel like all these things that matter right like your business and your like all these things that you're like at the front line it's almost like that becomes one percent because your head's not there so like you're 99 of your brain is freaking out because you're like like you know what I mean it's like I can't I can't really explain it but like it's like the best way I could say it is like you don't really have a choice yeah you don't have a choice it takes over it's like there's a filter over you and you're like I have to I have to deal with this and then I can go deal with those other things that matter I've I've I've hit like breaking points like that re like recently more to regular like yeah but like I don't it's just like you know [ __ ] will happen or you know doing too much of something and just you just had a wall yeah you know you hit a wall or like you know just Stress and Anxiety from online [ __ ] or like whatever it is just like that time like sometimes you're just like [ __ ] like you know like this is this really worth it did you type [ __ ] but for sure that happens with everybody it's a lot to juggle for it is yeah so that's why I think just like I've realized too like God damn like you gotta stay sane you gotta stay right did you guys ever have uh this is kind of off topic but a video or a prank idea that you were never able to do or you never like actually followed up on filming I mean near the end of filming there was a lot of ideas that I didn't even do because I was all freaked out about getting arrested kind of [ __ ] but there was definitely some crazy ideas thrown out there that I was like whoa probably not I'd have to think I should always think about that but I don't know what were you guys saying can you guys continue where you guys are saying about where he mentioned that I just want to know what you said the wall oh yeah just like dude I don't know whether it's like whatever it is like you know if it's too much partying or you know yeah like I said maybe there's like just drama and [ __ ] online or whatever it is you know [ __ ] like that where it's just like sometimes you just like yeah you hit a wall in whatever situation that is yeah and it just kind of shuts you down right and that can't even be glossed over either dude like I'm just interested because what you were saying internet [ __ ] like just not like yeah like that whole thing of like just so many eyes watching everything you're doing is like crazy yeah commenting things and this and you're just like yeah it's a lot to like add on top of all these was that was that part of it like when we're at the front of any house too maybe like I'm sure yeah definitely a part of it but I don't know it's really hard to explain especially with the sober like going sober too and like not drinking too like even for me if I'm trying to get fit and not party less you do have to just you do have to just not be in situations like that too yeah I mean like I'm not [ __ ] going to the club sober straight up but yeah like I'm not like I can't like I'm not gonna do that if I'm gonna go out I'm probably gonna drink like people say whatever the [ __ ] they want like how can you not go sober but it's I'm just not gonna just do this you're being honest like that's just not what I'm doing I tried when I first stopped drinking and it's like yeah dude you last like you can only get so many [ __ ] like for the [ __ ] flavored Waters up to you and says let's take a shot like you're buckling yeah so it's just like for me if I want to stay dialed in the gym like I'm just chill during the week and then Saturday is my day you know to like if you want to go out and have fun have some drinks do that but that's kind of where like I'm kind of at right now so I'm that's my goal yeah it seems to be good but it's just like outside of uh like the mental health physical health all that what's your guys's goals that you want to accomplish like in this space personally um my I mean my business goal is really just right now is to like the main focus for me is just to build happy Dad to be like the biggest one of the biggest alcohol brands in the world yeah like yeah you say we're not really competing with like people think we're competing with white claw but like we're we think we're competing with Budweiser right in the sense that like you know we could be an entire alcohol company you know happy Dad could just be our first product of many but like we want to own like the consumer like Goods consumer products like space you know and now we have so many relationships with all these stores like direct relationships so with like Walmart you got distribution to set up all the like all our partners now we have we own those relationships so like happy Dad might just be our first product like maybe we'll launch a liquor maybe we'll launch something a non-alcoholic product and now you know yeah it's just a funnel because we have all these stores so that's kind of like my business goal but and then just continuing to try to have fun with nelk I think like that's why this video is good for me too because I kind of wanted to just tell the fans like it's just like I feel like they take it sometimes too seriously and because they're passionate and it's like what me and you built from the beginning was just like it's [ __ ] magical so but for me I just want to have fun with it and just I just like making content so it's just like I just want to have fun and upload the videos and like there's definitely no need to make it stress you out yeah you know I would love to just have fun and like upload videos and just like you know what I mean 100 like I that's why I wanted to tell them like I agree with you guys like old milk is dope as [ __ ] like no one said it wasn't you know like I [ __ ] love it just as much as you guys like yeah no lie so like yeah that's that's where I'm at but I can't complain bro life is [ __ ] I'm we're blessed I'm very blessed grateful like very blessed action 100 really how about you yeah I think um I'm really happy with Sunday and how it's all coming out and uh that I took my time like like I've said this before but basically just creating something that would keep me stoked for the next 10 20 years um but uh no like real massive goals basically just getting it to a point where it's profitable and it can keep funding creating more [ __ ] and I know that's kind of corny but it's like that's like really my only goal right now because like I know that like obviously even when I exited it was like I made it I can chill whatever but like I quickly realized that I'm just not that guy like I like working on [ __ ] so like yeah that's like the dream I see just like not being in one lane obviously I love doing product development and creating Brands but uh I don't know like you know we used to talk about like making movies or shows and like I just being able to like keep doing that and growing connections and [ __ ] just keep creating things how's boxing helped you like because you've been doing dude yeah it's it's [ __ ] awesome it's it's so funny that obviously like skateboarding's always been my thing and there's so many similarities to like because it's like a it's not a team sport it's like you can go work on it whenever you want and like I don't know I just [ __ ] I never like fell in love with another sport like since skateboarding and it's like took over skateboarding outside dude I I love it man that's awesome that's that's actually really good yeah do you think one time Celine [ __ ] loves UFC now too yeah I love him yeah we've been talking he's gotta we'll have a chick over it and put on a [ __ ] rerun UFC fight really so funny though so I love it bro such a great every bird I love hearing that though it's like the same it's like the same fight Islam versus Volk which is such a good fight on the TV and makes the fight it's a great fight to watch and like girls don't [ __ ] with UFC really like not someone not a lot like yeah I would watch you watch UFC fights with girls like I would love to watch that like please film dude I don't even watch it's a good show concert no I don't watch it because I'm just trying to put it on for them like I just generally want to watch it like I just want to watch the fight there's a lot of fights my go-to is the Cotter Dustin Trilogy like that so much and gaichi like Dude any of his friends okay she's fine too that guy's brawler dude I like that guy a lot I love games he's on a next level right now too he he's dialed [ __ ] he's right here I'm happy dad today that went through today yeah if we put it in the Pod Justin gaichi welcome to team happy Dad let's go yeah that's crazy you got the BMF belt this is pretty cool I know uh you think ever one time for the fans you guys could run back one prank maybe it's like less risky or yeah for sure yeah like soon I would love to like I'll go shoot one this week I mean with you guys but I would love all of us just got into one man that'd be so amazing if it's the thing of it's a prank we gotta definitely be like we like then it puts a little more pressure on us that's why I was like let's go on a trip and just have fun and that's just like but if we're doing a prank we might gotta sit down and be like I Gotta Die like what prank is it gonna be like I feel like it should be the most simplest [ __ ] thing and just like more about like it doesn't matter you know it's not this big thing we do we do have some like more like Bigfoot ideas though that we like we thought oh yeah what we thought of some pretty dope ones really so yeah not not Bigfoot but like movie style like like one concept where it's just like we thought of some pretty funny ones that like it could be dope to do something like that too yeah but we can or it's we'll just brainstorm and choose what if you get three did the like golf chirps ran that back yeah it'd be cool that's just yeah I think I know the fans would be thinking just do anything I think that I would I would prefer to come back with something like fire as [ __ ] but I really like the trolling like anime Fighters I feel like that is I mean obviously with your connections out too like yeah I don't know where you do it but some kind of like just like you go in there and you think you're the beauty and you're like sparring too hard or you're [ __ ] dude there's so many jokes you could do you're thinking of doing um we're about to shoot it we might shoot it but like yeah like it's kind of weird though I guess like saying saying like gay [ __ ] to people while you're like rolling Jiu Jitsu oh my God that's kind of weird I mean think about it though like if you're on full Mount you know I mean like he was saying it he was like I could flip you over but I like got it on top I just don't know if I could say along with someone's my legs and like you could just break my teeth but like they're in your garden just like I'm not gonna lie like I love where you are right but it's just like weird [ __ ] like that's yeah that's pretty [ __ ] I thought that was pretty hilarious like because it's like [ __ ] is this guy is this guy gonna actually fight me like yeah I mean it kind of makes both people like oh yeah you want to pass my guard right now yeah especially if you show up wearing like the wrong pads or on the wrong like you're wearing too much pads like you're just so much to read it but you're talking all this [ __ ] like imagine like worn out pads or some [ __ ] like different colors it's just like weird [ __ ] you should just show up wearing full hockey that would be funny we were thinking of doing one like uh Austin Powers like you know how he got Frozen I can't remember like so like basically the concept would be like um it could be two people that are frozen but let's say like I was frozen or something and then your job was to hire someone to like when I get unfrozen like show me around the world like I've been like you've been frozen for 30 years yeah and then like we actually do it like we get crate the thing oh that's funny like they come like we'll interview marks yeah like post on Craigslist and say like hey we need a caretaker then when they like interview them choose the right one then when they get to the crib like they witness it like crazy like lab like getting on thawed and then it's this person's job to like show and your outfit looks like you're from 50 years ago yeah like and you're like some rich guy that was like I don't know yeah that could be like epic yeah it's hilarious a few ones like that so many lines that could come out of that too yeah like something crazy like that those ones are fun how would you be like look would you show him that you're in ice like how would you like we'd just create it like we have this props girl that would probably like pull it off yeah like I don't know how she would do it but we've still got a little bit of ice on your cheek or something but like no we'd actually be in the like however she would do it yeah like we have to do that right just like Austin Powers right yeah make them sign a bunch of [ __ ] so they think it's like top secret yeah yeah that's actually a good idea it's funny yeah because imagine the reaction to that that'd just be like what the [ __ ] that's a good one yeah I think that's correct I do agree I like the idea of us all like everyone plays a certain part of it yeah like that's the best way to do it yeah and everyone has their own role we just like make it happen we have a few movie ideas like that that we thought of really yeah so we could brainstorm yeah yeah we should just [ __ ] kick it and [ __ ] come up with some ideas yeah for sure and then we gotta get [ __ ] if we do a re we could do the uh some sort of trip too I think that would be cool just even I don't even like know where it would be but I think just like you and like if Nina was there and like Pat and like interacting with like the new people too it's just like so much different [ __ ] now like you know what I mean so what's the deal with with Steve be in it or Steve can't be on YouTube that's what we got to figure out is because like I said put them on which is Steve's gotta be can you do that do that are you serious dude in the Trump video they like wouldn't even let us put his hand in the video like he hands Trump she's [ __ ] man I know yeah so I don't know damn bro you gotta have to put her on that I know yeah I know if we bring him back everyone we need Steve in the video like we need like we need to figure that out something where we shoot something with Steve for rumble or something yeah I mean either way no he would obviously want it he wants the he wants to be in the videos bad we're trying to figure it out but I don't know yeah well I'm glad we did this the fans obviously uh me and Gabe have utmost respect for you bro because we wouldn't be here without you so I appreciate that yeah appreciate everything you guys all three of you've done so are you still sipping on that coffee no it's a spinner now wow I ruined this code and then yeah and I think from here you guys figure out what the most fire thing we could all [ __ ] film is yeah well I think we're me and Jesse were just talking we just treat it more like a collaborative thing now and it's just like just have fun with it and then whenever we have an idea we'll work together and stuff like that maybe a one night was Tiny huh I was doing that just get it I'm just fine she brought you up a few times on there yeah I heard yeah all right well yeah comment comment if you guys have any ideas that you guys would like to see for uh maybe even for a trip and then for pranks too but yeah I think the trip would be first I think we get we'll see if 9-0 MTV Pat I think we just do it I think everyone wants to see it gotta have Steve bro it'd be [ __ ] fun yeah we'll figure out Steve's thing dude my dad called me like three times today I haven't answered it yet really dude he's so horny man really dude well you guys because the milk video went up yeah GoPro he's probably already packed a bag and [ __ ] dude that's so funny man hell yeah all right well drop a thumbs up guys comment good [ __ ] boys [ __ ] yeah buddy foreign
