The fact that you guys scored the sickest basketball shot of all time at the same time as telling the worst joke of all time makes it so much more legendary.

Signing and giving that ball to the kid, what a class act. You guys are awesome.
No-look is admittedly different than blindfolded. Brett even commented he was able to aim at something behind him as a consistent set-up for a throw. That being said, it's surprising how accurate you guys have gotten at such distances over the years. A truly impressive shot.

Congratulations on the hoop! Love your videos. Are we going to see a return to the tower for some smashage soon? I would also love to see Herron struggle in a golf event from the damn. I laughed so hard when Gaunson hit the rail with the BBall. It reminded me of Herron’s kick into the rail. 😂 That was funny. Keep up the good work.
Never a dull moment. My spirit is always lifted by watching these videos. I laugh so much!
Good Times. Thanks for sharing!
it's been quite a while where it was a constant pain from laughter watching your videos.. this was again one of them, i love the humor in these kind of videos more than the others. the one over the years where i laughed the most, i sometimes still watch it, is the one with the dam where you play golf with footbals and a pool, where the closest shots mis, and the fence gets hit, just like in this viddie

I think if I was blindfolded all the way up there, it'd actually be easier. But seeing the drop first, and *then* putting on a blindfold? No way. Nooooooo way. Not sure I could even get close to the railing with my eyes open, tbh.
Just finding your channel and loving it. I love the Aussie accents and how your intonations rise when you're excited. You have great vocabularies and perfect diction. Oh yeah, your stunts are entertaining too. I love when Gaunson gets philosophical.
Damn!! I was thinking there was gonna be a part 2 to this vlog. Great job guys!! ForeTFor 4-life!!👍🏽👍🏽👊🏽🏀
Love the entertainment value from the whistling to the bad jokes tot he farts (I mean come on....farts are funny). Also love that you guys show all the work you do to actually (and legit) nail the shot. Keep up the good work. Much respect from Ontario Canada.
Started watching a month ago..... I'v Watched EVERYTHING back to soccer balls hitting bowling pins and bottle flips onto IKEA... and 2 Rexy shirts later..... HOW GOOOOD! PS: NEEEEED MORE RC CAR!
Luca might not yet be able to understand what happened or who you were but one day pretty sure this all will make sense... they were on holiday and besides not just having a beautiful landscape to watch they got to see you as well... and he took part in a special moment... thank you for sharing this moment with us and giving this lil. kid the ball... well deserved

i totally agree, i find myself going back to their tower stunts a lot more than some of the newer stuff. i love watching them just hang out and be friends a lot more than the stunts most of the time. what they do is awesome, but who they are is way more important.
You guys have inspired a new content creator in Switzerland and he doesn't even know it yet. That's awesome, boys.
For the people thinks it's fake, learn physics, and I'll try to explain the magnus effect. Ball spinning into one direction either it goes the other way if you spin sideways, Goes the direction it was spinning at if thrown vertically,
I am having a really bad day. This was a great way to cheer up. How can I stay upset when I’m listening to your one liners and watching you all chuck basketballs off a dam with a blindfold on?! Another one for the books!! Well done!
