Dude Perfect

“Maybe a month after going full time, we got an email from Nerf who has been one of our longest partner that we've had they have been since then, and so we had signed our first big Nerf deal to come out with Dude Perfect Nerf products and do videos for them, an…”

“The video definitely did not get a million views. It got probably, maybe a 100,000, probably closer to 50,000 views.”

“We decided from that point on, anything that we do is going to be 100% real, 100% authentic, and this is going to be what Dude Perfect represents going forward.”

“You know, now we've got the trickshot videos are probably our least popular series we have now, which is awesome.”

“We're probably up to between 15 to 20, you know, depending on what time people are listening to this. Yeah, full time.”

“I think that's the cool thing about the ad side, is you can start to predict and get a little bit of a, you know, predictable cash flow there, so it helped. I would say we probably thought about it more so as our YouTube money, meaning the ads, we can pay for …”

“They tell me, you know, after doing some tests on me that I had what's called Bell's palsy, and it's basically kind of a paralysis of the face that they still don't know exactly what causes it, but what they usually see is stress and lack of sleep, and so they…”

“So it was that situation, just basketball version, that kind of started everything. Ties in the backyard. And he looks at Garrett, and he says, hey, if I make the shot, you owe me a Jimmy John sandwich. And he's kind of standing in the corner, and tosses up a …”

“We always liken it to playing battleship. Like, if you just keep guessing and keep throwing enough, then it's gonna go in at some point. Like, it has to. Like, the ball can only go so many places, and so, as long as you're willing to put in the reps, any trick…”

“Over a billion impressions on that campaign, I remember what you said.”

“When we were in college, kind of one of the things that we wanted to show people is that you didn't necessarily have to go to parties and get wasted and drink a lot of alcohol to have fun and enjoy yourself in college”

“Yeah, I think so. I think we choose not to discuss finances on a detailed level, but there's plenty of articles and reports out there, and they're not too far off on the estimates.”

“We have, so I was like, hey, let me go to the front yard and see if I can make this shot over the house into the backyard, and I was like, I'm just gonna go practice it and throw a few, and I ended up making it, and we were not filming, and so we decided, rule…”

“I know GMC, the very first original thing, and this is for a TV commercial, so this felt way bigger than a YouTube video, but this was kind of the first thing we ever heard, I think, They paid us 50 grand”

“Yeah, I think Carmelo Anthony was the one who was on the top 10 desk at the time when the Kyle Field shot was blowing up, and he was the one, they asked him, they were like, Carmelo, is this real? And he was like, no way, not a chance.”

“It had been shared as the main kind of, you know, clickable thing on Yahoo's homepage, and about two hours it had gotten about two million views.”

“Technically we had each made one cent, but I had the incredible foresight to say one day we will each be able to take this money that we made from people watching our videos and we will be able to go buy a sandwich with it.”

“This is the first time we've ever seen anyone online basically create a space.”

“Very quickly, after we load the video like Tyler said, you know, this video has been banned worldwide, was the error message we got back, and we learned that you can't just use someone else's music.”

“I mean, it was a good, like, I would say, 7030, 60, 40 split between girls and boys that were coming to the tour in 2019.”

“We had it figured up after doing all this research that we could each take home about 8000 dollars the rest of the year.”

“I think, you know, for us, there's obviously been moments throughout the 12 years that have been extremely difficult and, you know, very confrontational and difficult moments, and I think the only reason that Dude Perfect is still a thing today is truly becaus…”

“When we did, we would just tell companies that we were so busy with speaking engagements and things like that during the week that if they wanted to do a Branded Dude Perfect video, it would have to be on a Saturday, and, you know, the brands are like, what? L…”
