The guys from Dude Perfect here! AMA!

When did you realize that Dude Perfect was no longer a hobby, but a job?

3 years ago we quit our other jobs (couldn't keep up) & pursued it full time. Things blew up.

How has your faith helped you with everything you've done and how far you've come? As a Christian it inspires me to see how much of an influence Jesus is in your lives! God bless!

it impacts almost every decision. Most people say go into business with friends and it doesn't work out. We're the exception cuz of our faith. Have a huge platform & love spreading the hope of Jesus

Thanks for doing an AMA! In your video with the Dallas Stars, what was the inspiration to have Tyler Seguin try to score a goal with a rubber duck?

haha walking through the aisle of Toys R Us & picking it out plus 20 other toys

What did you guys study at Texas A&M University? Giggem Aggs 👍

Any campus stories would also be appreciated.

Twins: Communications Garrett: Architecture Cody: Business Tyler: Wildlife & Fisheries

When doing long/high shots off buildings and structures, what is your procedure? You obviously only show the one ball in your video, but do you bring a rack of them up?

Camera man at the top & bottom. 2 rebounders. Someone to carry bags of ball back up top. Then the shooter. Like clockwork.

Some real talk here. How many takes does it actually require for some of your stunts? I mean...I have a hard time believing you can throw a basketball off of whatever building and nail it first try lol.

Keep up the kick ass videos guys.

10-15 minutes tops. World Record took 1.5 hours.

Did Garrett help design the DPHQ2 with his architecture background?

He did indeed. Ty helps fill it in with toys

Hey Dude Perfect! Thanks for doing this AMA!

Will Coby ever win a battle?!

NOPE -Cody One day! -Coby

What's it like the take a tennis ball where the sun don't shine from Serena Williams?

You know... It hurt. Hurt bad. Here's the behind the scenes incase you wanted to see the welt on my hamstring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BT6a5JHBRck

What's the one shot you just couldn't make work?

Also are you guys always so enthusiastic? I feel I need to lay down after I watched one of your videos, due to the high energy output in your videos.

Edit: how would you guys make a trick shot work with someone that's not too mobil, like Stephen Hawking? Thanks!

haven't found one yet. We almost gave up on the Goodyear Blimp shot but came back out the next day & Garrett drilled it

Who is your dream celebrity or athlete to work with?

Cristiano Ronaldo. Steph Curry. Dirk. LeBron.

Could any of you have gone pro at any of the different sports/ Played for A&M? or were you all just pretty good high school players?

twins & cody won state championships in high school. Ty just about every sport in high school. Garrett was a lights out bball shooter. We're not good enough for the league lol

Howdy guys! Fellow Ag here. How did y'all get started in college? Did y'all just have a random idea to start shooting videos one day? Love the videos! Keep it up.

pretty much. Filmed in the backyard & loaded it to youtube for fun. GIG'EM

How do I get to be a part of your squad? I can aim things.... so aim much good

If you were a roommate in 2009 at Texas A&M. (Time machine?)

How many shots have you guys actually made on the first try like the blindfolded shot from the world records video?

I think about 7. It's definitely RARE but most trick shots happen pretty quick.

Twins- Are you sad that McInnis no longer exists? Remember getting schooled at the garbage basketball court in front of it?

Mcinnis doesn't exist??

Had no idea!! That place was super old though and I know for a fact that we never had a fire drill the entire time we lived there haha

Asked this on the other thread but not sure if it was legit you so I'll as again.. What were your thoughts of England when you visited? (I'm from Manchester)

It was awesome. We're big fans of fish and chips too. And our other answer on the other thread was legit too haha

Hardest trick shot you guys have done?

Worlds Biggest Sling Shot.

If you weren't in Dude Perfect what would you be doing right now?

Hmm... (Cody - Rodeo clown). (Ty - Whip master). (Twins - Working for Apple) (Garrett - designing buildings w/ his masters degree)

Your videos look like they take a lot of time to make. During an average week how long do y'all spend filming/planning your videos?

each video takes about 1-2 days to film & only launch 2 videos a month. Quality > quantity. (aka We play a lot of golf).

What is your golf handicap?

Ty - 5 // G - 12 // Cody - 15 // Twins - 25+

All of you guys seem so down to Earth. What makes you incredible dudes modest?

Btw been loving your vids for years now!

love for jesus i guess. We're just scrubs that love having fun and making videos and people just started to enjoy them

Hey DP... The question everybody wants to get the answer to

Will Panda ever take his Head off?

We we retire in 2050

What's the worst thing that happened during a recording of a video?

we broke the back window of Ty's truck once

What video was the most fun for you guys to make?

That 1st video (Backyard Edition) was still just the most fun & shocking for us in person bc no one knew trick shots could be done. Crazy to see how lame they are now but in the moment we were like: "OMG. TY JUST MADE A SHOT FROM THE ROOF OF A HOUSE"

Do you have groupies?

lol yeah

hey guys! have you guys ever heard of spike ball? Its like a mix of foursquare and volleyball played on a mini trampoline! here is a link to a video of how to play it https://youtu.be/jdRKqguEbas and here is some people playing it! https://youtu.be/FLfGpcA2Pl8 its really awesome and fun to play and i hope you can incorporate it into your videos!!!!

LOVE SPIKE BALL!

You guys are fantastic, love the show. When you have a guest celebrity in a video, do you typically reach out to them, or have any come to you? Also, is the panda actually the Twins' secret triplet?

sometime we reach out to them but most of the time their agent reaches out to us or a brand brings the relationship together.

Cody how excited are you to have a little girl?! Will you guys ever do a video with your kids when they get older?

SO STOKED! She'll be here any day. And most likely!

Have you guys thought of having a fantasy football league with some fans? Think it would be awesome. Love the videos btw. Keep up the great work!

we always do a march madness group. Good idea on fantasy football

What do you plan on doing in the future after DudePerfect?

More videos. (different kinds). TV Shows.

Why does Ty always shoot the most in the trick shot vids and not Garrett and the Twins?

just kinda the way it works. Tyler is more passionate about the trick shots & has a strong arm

Oh a second one 😂 which shot took the longest to make? I feel like it's ones where two of you are doing it simultaneously

Our original slingshot video 4 years ago! Oh my gosh that one was brutal!! VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASXYQigqxgM

How many attempts/takes to perform a trick?

not many.

Huge fan from Massachusetts. A friend showed me a video a few years back and I've recently rediscovered and been a huge fan for about a year now. What can we expect to see from you guys in the future? Also, what will happen to DPHQ v1 when v2 is completed?

Thanks for watching! We're hard at work on a whole bunch of stuff! Our tv show has been a blast so we're excited about making new episodes for that. We're already hard at work on some new iPhone game ideas. We're also pumped to keep working with great athletes and celebs on some upcoming projects!

And the DPHQ will be retired when DPHQ2 is operational! Onwards and upwards!

What has been the hardest part of making the transition from Youtube, to cable tv?

It's a different pace. YouTube is all about lots of funny or exciting little moments. TV is more about telling a story. Both have been really fun but we're learning to treat them differently!

Did the DP team ever think that u guys would be this big?

Absolutely not. God has blessed us in a big way and we definitely didn't expect this at all. Very grateful.

So um, how about them world records? (that is really the best question i can come up with right now)

pretty fun haha

Favourite athlete you've ever worked with?

literally all of them have been incredible.

how far can you guys throw as hard as you can?

Ty and Cody throw the farthest. Probably 60 yards.

Are you guys planning on doing any other stereotypes video soon?

of course. we have a pretty solid list of the ones we want to do. any suggestions?

Not sure about soon. Definitely have a growing list

Do you guys still get excited after all these years of hitting insane tricks, or has the magic worn off?

We try and always think of new ideas so that keeps it fresh and exciting. Definitely love changing it up when we can

I have three questions for Dude Perfect.

Q1: How many world records have you guys as Dude Perfect broken?

Q2: What are some of the world records you guys have broken?

Q2: Where do you guys see yourself a in 10 years?

1. 14 i think 2. SO MANY 3. In the DPHQ 3 filming videos

Who came up with the idea to go to TV Show?

We had been approached about TV for about 4 years. Finally felt like it was a good time & found the right partner: Rob Dyrdek. It's definitely been a ton of fun

team decision. we waited a long time to try it and have had a blast with it so far.

What trickshot was the hardest to hit/did you feel most relieved after hitting?

the boomstick is up there and Ty's reaction afterwards says it all (end of this video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXLQrJNq-kU

On really hard shots it seems like it's usually Ty making them. Do you guys take turns at all? I can only imagine how frustrated one can get missing so many in a row!

We actually try not to take turns. It's hard to get in a rhythm that way. But every once in a while if we need to put the pressure on someone we threaten to take turns and pull in a reliever

Have there been any shots in the past that you've made on the first attempt?

world's longest blindfolded shot

are you guys good at actual sports? and if so what sports and what level?

Yes. And above average. 3 of us won state in basketball in high school.

Can you guys still really believe that you do this for a living? Also can us fans in the UK get to watch the DP show at any point?

It's an absolute dream come true. Could not have dreamed up a better job. We're very fortunate
