==History==
The trio originally consisted of Kandel, Akhtar and a lesser known YouTuber known as Quakez. However, Quakez left the group after two videos leaving Kandel and Akhtar as a duo. SnowyJoe then began appearing with the group and was later added as an official member. Although not confirmed by other memebers, Rampz has stated friend and fellow YouTuber "lavish" was also a member of the group before Joe.
In early 2021, the trio began uploading zoom videos where they would invade zoom meetings in attempts to troll the attendents into a reaction. Their channels, and subsequently group channel, exploaded in popularity.
In June 2021, the trio met up for the first time in real life along with their friends and would record several videos together.
On September 8, 2022 Manter departed from the group leaving Snowball and Ahktar as a duo. They would later upload a final video with Manter on September 19, 2022, which was Manter's final appearence on the channel to date.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F6tojzMcvM It would also mark Nathan Heagan's first appearence as their cameraman, which was supposed to be temporary but later became permanant.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7J_dFx4x8c
