==History==
===Goop===
Lunch Club was originally branded as a podcast. Founded in April of 2019, it was named Goop. It was formed as a combination of Carson and R1vster's podcast, UnZIPPED, and Cooper and Joko's podcast, A.S.S. 
It eventually turned into a group of YouTubers consisting of Cooper, Travis, Carson, and Noah. They all decided to move in together, with Carson and Travis finally graduating high school, and Cooper and Noah liking the idea. The group moved to San Diego, California and began doing collaborations on YouTube and Twitch.They decided to reach out more and grabbed other YouTubers such as jschlatt and Slimecicle, as well as their friend Ted. They had planned on getting a close friend of Carson's, Josh Allen, to join the group as well. However, they opted out of it. 
They then did an event on Twitch of a Minecraft LifeLink stream, in which they raised money for video ideas and discussed plans for the group. In this LifeLink event, every member (except for Ted) streamed for over twelve hours, and collectively raised over 25,000 USD.
===Lunch Club===
The group co-owned a productive YouTube channel and renamed themselves Lunch Club. They had to rebrand due to name conflicts with Gwyneth Paltrow's makeup company, Goop. The first use of this new name; Lunch Club, was used in a Try Not To Laugh video with the group, and well as Josh, UndrscrMason, Altrive, and Ted's girlfriend, Madi. They collaborated with many other YouTubers such as Pokimane, CaptainSparklez, Macro and Michael Reeves.
Lunch Club had been looking for a place in Los Angeles for general group operations. They had intended to find a house near Anaheim on their trip to VidCon, a YouTube convention. This was discussed in the Podcast episode: Lunch Club Podcast 24: Our Apocalypse Plans.

===History===
The Lunch Club Podcast was a podcast channel that featured members from Lunch Club chatting about miscellaneous topics. The podcast channel was founded as a mixture of two other podcasts. In the video “Weird YouTube Channels“, Carson announced that he had started a podcast called the UNZIPPED Podcast where "four people under the age of 20 talking about topics you don't really care about. The UNZIPPED Podcast, and the A.S.S. Podcast. The name was changed to "Goopcast". Goopcast was eventually changed to Fart Club, and then finally the Lunch Club Podcast due to copyright issues.
