Hey everyone! Thanks so much for supporting us and helping us get to 100K subscribers! We are very much looking forward to the future of this channel! In this video, it was asked what the total retail value of my balisong collection is. So here it is! Total retail value: $4,255 The amount of my own money I've actually spent: $1,650
46:32 I was really surprised by your answer here. I was initially expecting an answer along the lines of "learning a certain technical skill" or something similar, but the answer that you gave was much, much more than that. What you said about confidence, your experience with impostor syndrome and feeling the need to constantly one-up yourself through-out your career really resonated with me, and hearing you talk about how you deal with overcoming that was very interesting and enlightening. Thank you for that Brandon.
I'm really glad that it resonated with you dude! There of course have been real technical struggles that have been a big deal, but confidence and work/life balance can by far be the biggest underlying struggles, and certainly have been for me.
Dude! What you said at 51:00 about confidence resonates with me so much. I'm a developer and when I first got into the industry I initially thought that learning more would help me build more confidence. I was sorely mistaken. As a developer you run into new problems and issues everyday, there's never any real certainty. It kind of leaves you in this constant state of feeling like you're not good enough or a feeling of impostor syndrome. I've come a long way since I've started and what I've learned is that confidence doesn't come from learning new things but instead you're willingness to learn new things.
I didn't know the two of you were keyboard enthusiasts ! I would sooo love to see a keyboard video on the channel, I would definitely watch them and you would have the perfect vibe for such content !
You guys definitely deserve 100k subs. With all the time and effort that goes into your videos and how well the quality of them are, I'm surprised you only just recently passed 100k, y'all should've hit it a long time ago
"we are at the moment content creators" Once you get to 1M subs you're gonna look back at this and either say "wow did things change" or "we knew how it was going to be all along"
Congratulations on 100k. To me, an absolute fool of a squiddy flipper, you have the spirit of the AVGN. A RUclips legend. As are you going to be in the Balisong world.
I did not realize how close I live to will, maybe a few thousand feet away is the Chattahoochee river. Also the Chattahoochee river is SO FUCKING COLD, I get hypothermia just thinking about that river
Congratulations guys! Ive been following since around 70k and can say without a shadow of a doubt that you deserve this more than anyone! I love all your videos and the production quality and stuff is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for all that you do! edit: also you can see joe's face if you just scroll back on Brandons instagram. they have wedding photos there.
Ik this is gonna get buried but anyways Some ideas for a future q&a WHEN(not if) you get to at least 200k or smthn Some deep(personal) questions mixed in with some surface level bali questions -What balisongs would you suggest for each price range(in about hundreds, trainers and live blades) -If you had to say you were a professional _, and you could only choose 1, what would you choose?(not literally what you do as a job but more like what you're best at/like doing the most) -How does one know which oil/balisong/balance/grip/trick type/etc is best for them? -Which of your videos did the best/is most popular, vs which is your favorite?(already answered but it might be diff in the future)(building on that, some of the questions in this video might change!) -How much money would you have to make from youtube to switch to full-time youtube? if you had that opportunity, would you take it, or would you rather stick with sound? -Behind the scenes in creating youtube videos? not just with how long things take, but also stuff like setting up cameras and lighting and getting things in place like scheduling, making sure stuff like personal information doesn't get leaked through like windows or showing people's faces that don't want to be seen, etc. -What are other things you'd suggest for people who also have adhd? I'm pretty sure a lot of people who are into balisongs are like you, really interested in doing hand dexterity motor skills stuff, and i'm sure balisongs aren't the only one. What other things are good to try out? If this gets buried, so be it we knew that But if this helps, great! love ur channel and honestly one of the best yters i know of my gay guy Also, if you're unsure that a video on non-bali stuff(headphones, keyboards, dancing, etc) would do well, you can always post it on your second channel(maybe, i don't know if that would be good or bad)
I'm a freshy in the bali community and honestly you guys def made me love the community so much that i finally bought my first bali and i wondered have you guys thought of making a live blade bali ? or in the making of one ?
2 days to get through the video and it was worth it. Definitely some good points were brought up and it was very well thought through. As far as carrying or flipping live blades I keep mine razor sharp so I am especially careful about how and where I flip. Luckily only have been cut 2x in 2 years. Just tuned my vulp the other day and got it feeling just my krake raken, solid knife 100% can recommend!
I just finished watching the whole thing and gotta say best q&a ever my question wasn’t in but I don’t really care I learned a lot and I’m so happy for you guys and I’m actually super excited for the documentary
The most important information i gathered thus far from this is that: 1. I could trash will in super smash brothers melee cus he mains the literal worst character in the roster 2. There are in fact will clones in existence and we just haven’t seen them in recent videos…… unless…… this is a will clone………. Oh god they’re outside my house!
Hi I'm new to the balisongs and got my first normal balisong. And was trying to mod it by getting the latch off didn't get it off but pushed it up and out of the way with rubber band and I have been watching your vids I don't know 3-4 weeks or something like maybe a month. And all have is keep up the good work.
Probably. But u could get a falcon and alien for about the same price. It might be slightly better for you since the csgo fundraiser is probably pretty heavy and the squiddy us really light
I think things like other hobby videos as said at 1:14:00 should be put either on patreon or on yt for members+patreon, as it would be a nice perk and additional incentive, therefore losing slightly less in the process of making the video.
The town I lived in originally would of had a graduate class of 2k then I moved and was in a class of like 20 people. Literally the classes were so small that they just put elementary kids with the middle school and high school kids and just kinda divided the kids from the older kids. Lunch everyone can mix. The school was offering a diffrent kinda like speed graduate program as well were if you work really hard you could complete high school in 2.5 years. It says 2 but almost every kid comes back and finishes half way through 3rd year. But Literally everyone knew eachother and most of us didn't even live in the town the school was actually located in. ITS TINY, no sports no library but we had robotics.
where do you guys live in florida? ive been wanting to go to blade show this year in Atlanta and i was hoping you guys would be there and now i have hope bc Atlanta is like 5 hours away
Two days ago one of the teachers took my only balisong. I haven’t gotten it back now he says he needs to talk to the principal “because it’s a knife simulation.” I won’t get it back until Monday or even later. My fingers are itching. 😫
Congrats on 100k guys love yall always make my day so i got a question ill give a bit of a back story or else it wont make sense i live in the Netherlands balisongs are not a big thing over here the accual blades are illegal but trainers arent the problem is there are no decent balisong/butterfly knife trainers here for what i can find its like amazon qualities🤣 do you guys know of one that is decent for its money being shipped world wide like glidr for example i love those but its like 200 euros to get in the Netherlands to let it be shipped here i have been into them for a while i want a good one but i just cant seem to find one or they are to expensive
I love how diverse and open the balisong community is! Trans,lgbtq, and minorities are welcomed! We love everyone! But please be aware, if you wear symbols of racism like the American flag or MAGA clothing it hurts feelings. So please leave that stuff at home or just don't come to our events. Love your channel Will!
I do not see a dad joke in the time stamps, i am upset and my day is ruined. I will hold you accountable for this Mr. Will "Gay" Hirsch.
I gave Will so many knife related dad jokes 😭

Congrats guys! Hope y'all had a good day!
Thanks for answering my question! Can't wait for the Balihistory documentary.
I’ve been making videos for the same amount of time on RUclips….lol🤣. You guys have hit a homerun with 100k. I hope ya’ll keep going! 🤘🤠
I agree that Balisong has more in common with Begleri, Kandama, and Yoyo than the typical knife show attending.
At that ending when brandon fit 7 balisongs into his mouth I no joke started to cheer you are amazing people the 2 of you 😂
Congratulation!
omg....
I made MY first Balisong out of PAPER and toothpicks Too....
lol
Congratulations you two!!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🎊🎉🎊

Congratulation!!! You’ve needed more than 100k since you started.
LETS GO !!!! 100K. Well deserved

Thanks to both of you Will and Brandon. My son and I enjoy the content.

You can definitely tell Will is obsessed with this hobby. He just can't stop flipping the while time.
We just unlocked a huge chunk of will hirsch cloning lore
Ik this is gonna get buried but anyways
Some ideas for a future q&a WHEN(not if) you get to at least 200k or smthn
Some deep(personal) questions mixed in with some surface level bali questions
-What balisongs would you suggest for each price range(in about hundreds, trainers and live blades)
-If you had to say you were a professional _, and you could only choose 1, what would you choose?(not literally what you do as a job but more like what you're best at/like doing the most)
-How does one know which oil/balisong/balance/grip/trick type/etc is best for them?
-Which of your videos did the best/is most popular, vs which is your favorite?(already answered but it might be diff in the future)(building on that, some of the questions in this video might change!)
-How much money would you have to make from youtube to switch to full-time youtube? if you had that opportunity, would you take it, or would you rather stick with sound?
-Behind the scenes in creating youtube videos? not just with how long things take, but also stuff like setting up cameras and lighting and getting things in place like scheduling, making sure stuff like personal information doesn't get leaked through like windows or showing people's faces that don't want to be seen, etc.
-What are other things you'd suggest for people who also have adhd? I'm pretty sure a lot of people who are into balisongs are like you, really interested in doing hand dexterity motor skills stuff, and i'm sure balisongs aren't the only one. What other things are good to try out?
If this gets buried, so be it we knew that
But if this helps, great! love ur channel and honestly one of the best yters i know of my gay guy
Also, if you're unsure that a video on non-bali stuff(headphones, keyboards, dancing, etc) would do well, you can always post it on your second channel(maybe, i don't know if that would be good or bad)
I love the cursed Furby in the back XD
I love how they just started talking about game cubes and stuff😂
such much energy
Congrats to will hirsch dot gay and the Brandon clone he keeps around!
I'm a freshy in the bali community and honestly you guys def made me love the community so much that i finally bought my first bali and i wondered have you guys thought of making a live blade bali ? or in the making of one ?

Hi I just got into butterfly knife’s and I want a tutorial for medium hard tricks
Now that I heard Brandon worked at winstar I just realized my sister and grandma worked with him. Small world.
Okay now I'm EXTREMELY curious who your grandma and sister are O.O
Congrats
Ah goddamn it I didn't see the post on the community tab
You should review the ldy balisong
Love this video
I just finished watching the whole thing and gotta say best q&a ever my question wasn’t in but I don’t really care I learned a lot and I’m so happy for you guys and I’m actually super excited for the documentary
He’s awesome the way he incorporates both handles and the blade even
I know you guys are gonna make it you guys inspired me to start Balisong flipping
You should do video with CutleryLover. That would be awesome! True legend in balisong community.
Will seems to really enjoy his titan, he flips it in a lot of his vids. Has he mentioned why he likes it?
I talked about it in the My Balisong Collection 2023 video!
The most important information i gathered thus far from this is that:
1. I could trash will in super smash brothers melee cus he mains the literal worst character in the roster
2. There are in fact will clones in existence and we just haven’t seen them in recent videos…… unless…… this is a will clone………. Oh god they’re outside my house!
Hi I'm new to the balisongs and got my first normal balisong. And was trying to mod it by getting the latch off didn't get it off but pushed it up and out of the way with rubber band and I have been watching your vids I don't know 3-4 weeks or something like maybe a month. And all have is keep up the good work.
Why did ilove this intro so much😎😂
1:51:45 THATS ME AAAAAA!!
Is it worth to buy a squiddy for the second balisong? My first is cs go fundraiser.
Probably. But u could get a falcon and alien for about the same price. It might be slightly better for you since the csgo fundraiser is probably pretty heavy and the squiddy us really light
That's why I feel so special when a RUclipsr replies to my comment or likes a comment of mine, so cool...keep it up guys yall are awesome💯
CONGRATS BRANDON AND MR WILLIAM GAY!!!!
I'm excited for the cf kershaw lucha!
I think things like other hobby videos as said at 1:14:00 should be put either on patreon or on yt for members+patreon, as it would be a nice perk and additional incentive, therefore losing slightly less in the process of making the video.
Mr. Brandon Baker, Can you do a John Wick line? (Any John Wick line would do.)
The town I lived in originally would of had a graduate class of 2k then I moved and was in a class of like 20 people. Literally the classes were so small that they just put elementary kids with the middle school and high school kids and just kinda divided the kids from the older kids. Lunch everyone can mix.

I got the vulp on the day you posted this

A question for you is are butterfly trainers illegal in New Zealand cus I wanna buy one!
We need a tutorial on how to make a paper balisong
Will you do a review on the Maxace Banshee v2 please?
You should do a Boker Papilon review
I really enjoyed this video especially because I am in it lol
where do you guys live in florida? ive been wanting to go to blade show this year in Atlanta and i was hoping you guys would be there and now i have hope bc Atlanta is like 5 hours away
We live in Atlanta actually! We're always at blade
I have another question: what should I buy squiddy b or your vulp? (And where should I buy the vulp)
When is the vulp gonna be on Amazon again?
Hi Will and Brandon

I’ve been really trying to get my hands on a vulp, do you know if they will be in stock anytime soon?
You like magic!??? Do you play commander?????

I love how diverse and open the balisong community is! Trans,lgbtq, and minorities are welcomed! We love everyone! But please be aware, if you wear symbols of racism like the American flag or MAGA clothing it hurts feelings. So please leave that stuff at home or just don't come to our events.
Love your channel Will!
Yeeeee
you took the man out of the beer by putting it in a glass. smh
Just got the notification 😑
reminds me of my childhood
I bought a squiddy back in march and it recently got dropped and a handle broke off so I have to get a new one ;-;
Awh that sucks, maybe you can even get a Vulp once the new units drop?
can i get a heart?
