A lot of people have asked to see the video of me yelling the voiceover work for the weedeater wars video. I thought that it sounded like a really good thing to put on Patreon to show you how much I’m grateful for your support! Please do not share this with anyone. I hope you enjoy.

Thank you for supporting here on Patreon!

Joshua Cotrupi

He delivers. This makes me very happy. Thanks Destin!

Addison Gilbert

I’m super excited about this, I thought it was an awesome addition to the original video!

Ben Kickert

I was just watching the behind the scenes video when my notification for this came in.

Jason Ezzell

Oh man I was so happy to see this notification 🤣

Kodiak Wolf

"Grey bloby thing" had me dying every single time I heard it.

Dale E

I made it 5 minutes in. I can't take any more tonight. I'll watch the rest tomorrow 😂 Amazing

Matthew J Palka

Your child-like goofy play is my favorite and keeps me 10 yrs old. Thanks for the best laughs from this 😂

Ben Kickert

I KNEW the Titanium Blobby thing was cheated!

MythicFool

I want to share this so hard, because describing 'Mr. Torgue announcing weedeater fights' just doesn't do justice. But one must honor their contracts.

Kay Kaufmann

Best video for which I've sworn a blood oath covenant yet. Thank you for sharing Destin!

Cory Faris

Of course I watched the whole thing. Despite what my wife was saying the entire time.

DOUGLAS HOLCK

So while you were recording this... where was the family? Also, how sore was your throat the next day?

Peter Kuhlmann

Thank you for trusting us with this! So fun....

Ryan Brown

This video was the perfect way to end the day! :D

Nate

Actually quite impressive that you managed to get your mic set right without clipping it into oblivion

MythicFool

Sorry sorry, blood oath covenants, yes.

Erik Beck

1: laughing after each one is amazing 2: would love to get some of this action/energy on NDQ in the most absurd location

Ben Williams

Thanks for sharing! This was hilarious :)

Aaron Butler

I literally rewound the weedeater video to show my wife the little snippets of you doing this. So happy to have the whole thing!

wizardfusion

Oh my goodness. Watching you do this with the church giggles is hilarious!! You were cracking yourself up just as much as the rest of us! 😂😂😂

Ryan Patton

This is the best way to end the week; I enjoyed the voiceover watching the video yesterday, but today I needed a good laugh before heading home from the office really late...this did the trick, thanks!

Mike O'Dell

Homestar Runner 4 the weeeeeeeeennn!!!

Ryan Marks

So happy to see this and that you recorded the video. Who were you talking to? Did they sign a blood oath too?

Ben Estes

This reminds me of that old dubbed MXC show.

Taylor DeCastro

Oh my face hurts from laughing. Thank you. Thank you so much.

Michael Lynch

Thank you Destin. This was great patreon content. I died laughing between this and the actual video. I shall obey our contract and keep this between us.

Eric Trull

And this is why I'm a patron 👏 🤘 😂 🤣

David Goodridge

If time ever get hard, you’ve got a future in used car advertising. LoL

Jonathon Rupp

This. Is. Amazing. Thanks for sharing. Just curious, are the claps like audible bookmarks for editing purposes?

Vince Coe

Did you warn the family? Love it!

Gary Huntress

Battle Five! Turbulent Flow versus Laminar Flow! !!**FIGHT**!!!

Roger Burner

Ok..... what was the look on the wife’s face when you were done???? Hilarious!!!!!

Paul Smith

I can totally see this as the voice over for an abstract fighter game. But will refrain.

Darrel Crane

Seem just like video game voice over of mortal kombat. You have a second career. Or third.

Gary Davis

I thought you had engaged a pro voiceover artist until I saw the later bits with you at the mic. Well done.

Hogtown Pens

Alright now post all the "meow" takes

Elmer Fud

I love that you just start laughing after you finish each section

Greg Baker

Oh my god, why did I watch that whole video? Why did I giggle like a crazy person while I watched it?

Walter Harley

I re-watched the battle after seeing this video and it was even funnier!

DoesntMatter

This was amazing. I am so grateful that I get to be a patron and support all the wonderful and joyful videos you make. Thank you for being awesome!

Kyle

I love this so much! I was about to go to bed, but after watching this I feel like I need to go whack some weeds!

Domenico

The best thing is that he's clapping himself!

Eero af Heurlin

ruining the fun by pointing out the claps are probably segment markers for later editing (very easy to recognize in the waveform view).

Arthur Costerus

Hi Destin! Laughing my pants off here! questions: how was your voice in the days after this recording?

Joshua Dix

Reminds me of the old tractor pull commercials from the 80s, sunday, Sunday, SUNDAAAAYYY!!!! WE'LL SELL YOU THE ENTIRE SEAT, BUT YOU'LL ONLY NEED THE EDGEEEEEE!!!!

Ed Strong

That is hilarious! I have tears coming down my face. Thanks 😂🤣🤪

Rose J.

I'm so glad you included a couple of clips of this session in the full video, because a) it was extra hilarious, and b) I never in a million years would have expected that "are you man enough for all this tea" scream out of sweet, gentle Destin. :P

Laura Snell

That was so fun, thanks for sharing!

smartereveryday

I had to use the backup mic I set to record at minus 12 dB

smartereveryday

I had George on zoom. As a fellow kid of the 80’s I wanted someone to help me hit the video game vibe.

smartereveryday

Sharp claps show up well in the waveform so I can separate the clips in premiere easily.

Jackson’s

I’m imagining all of the time spent driving in the car by yourself screaming at the windshield to practice. Haha! That was some funny video. Thank you for sharing!

J and K

Loved this! Thanks for sharing it with us!

Aaron Ott

This. Is. Gold. 😂

Brad Elder

Was a bad day. Finally got to this email. Made my day. Thanks!

Steve Jones

Hilarious! My wife walked in to see what was going on and said "Not getting smarter today, are we"? :-) So of course I had to show her the other video!

Paul Barth

This was fantastic, thank you for sharing this. I had no idea one of the perks of being a Patron was entering into Blood Oath Covenants - I think this is a missed marketing opportunity!

Terry Moore

This made me laugh! Thank YOU so much Destin, I loved it!

Jim Shurts

Wonderful! Please remember to warm up your voice before screaming like that, we don't want your dulcet voice harmed.

Jim Devilbiss

I have a question. If you ever yell at your children, which I highly doubt, do you immediately laugh? I do wonder if the two Weedwhackers were of the same power and mechanical condition. Thanks for a very enjoyable SmarterEveryDay episode.

Ed Williams

You got a future there, dude!! You know, if the YouTube, dad, husband, engineer, rocket scientist, maker, philanthropist gigs all fall through. ;-)

Clair High

Oh, can’t wait to watch this! 😄

Tam Barlas

"GRAY BLOBBY THING WINS!!!!"

Michael West

Best material ever. Brought me to tears.

Glenn Niesen

This is so outside your personality. Loved it!!

Matúš Krajčík

Love how you lost it like every 90 seconds and burst into laughter :) To be able to make fun of yourself is one of the best and cheapest joys of life :)

Jared Goor

It took me a bit to figure out that best takes were almost a little frantic and panicked. Those were the brilliant ones, like the announcer was simultaneoulsy psyched and terrified of the prospect and the alternative and... everything.

Clifton Ballad

As a signer of the blood oath, This will never leave my phone at the worst, like ill show someone on my phone but not share it to theirs. This is glorious, and I would be completely satisfied if this is what my patreon bill went to in the future... If you were ever inclined to do something like this again, I would advise watching Linzey Rae's scream like a girl series. I was just a drummer but I get metal screaming and shes got a Real good explanation of it.

Allen Lea

You made my day 2 days in a row!

doomguy

I'm wondering what your wife and kids thought was going on in that room, you screaming what must've seem like bizarrly strange random stuff to someone not in the loop. Also, I got your thing in the mail this week (in Germany here). Now it's sitting right next to Derek's shade ball. Patreon is awesome. :D

Houssein Khafaja

lool. So I don't know anything about audio recording. Why was he clapping every so often?

Andrew

It's simultaneously a laugh track. So great!

David Hill

I'd like to know too. My guess it is for automatic or easy recognition and separation of the different cuts/takes.

Houssein Khafaja

Thats a good point. You could probably identify where the claps are in the audio track alone. I was also thinking that maybe when you're yelling into a microphone, something changes (either physically in hardware or digitally in the software), because you are creating higher lows and higher highs when you yell like that, which is not a normal use case. So maybe to reset that, you have to clap? I wouldn't be surprised if there was a lot of automation in audio recording, kinda like how cameras are assisted by software (autofocus, etc.)

Kris Tanquist

Claps are for syncing up the video and audio in post. It's the same as a clap board in the movies. Both provide a definite moment of input (sharp sound wave form in the audio file and visual cue in the video) when they happen so you can match the two different files exactly.

Houssein Khafaja

Oh I see, that's pretty cool. I always thought those clapperboards were just used as a tradition of filmmaking, not due to functional reasons. But if I think about, it also works great for labeling scenes and takes which should help when you are paused at a certain part of the video in post. Without it, you would need to play the video to hear which part you're in, but with the clapper board it just tells you which scene it is. Seems kind of obvious now.

Eric H

I did not know I needed this in my life.

Eric Leslie

I love behind the scenes stuff like this. Literally any video production always has tons on the cutting room floor and it's always interesting / revealing / hilarious, and stuff like this is a wonderful combination of all three. Remember, any time you've ever played a fighting videogame and enjoyed the voiceover, somebody did this for *days* ;) (Actually, on that note - good job! You have a shockingly small number of 'bad' takes, and getting it all done that quickly was impressive.)

Adam Haskin

Can we make Destin laughing after each take the new Patreon logo? :D

Sally Haylock

This is Awesome especially since it didn't sound like Destin at first doing the Voiceover till he showed himself saying it is him lol consider me fooled

Thomas Malenfant

I feel a strong heavy metal vibe in this one. Grey bloby the best by far... Thanks !

David Vinson

🤣 Hysterical! Looks like a lot of fun. It be cool if you ever do announcer/screaming for something else if patreon members could pitch in. Someone out there might have the announcer/radio voice/monster jam. But all y’all were awesome. Thank you for sharing the fun.

Lisa Wyzard

I'm surprised he didn't develop laryngitis from all that yelling! It was more fun than the original weedeater wars video. Maybe next time, you can get all the engineers doing this as a chorus! It'll sound like a stadium during the gladiator games. Great job, Destin! Keep up the good work.

Rick Gonzales

Looks like closing your eyes helped send more energy to your mouth!

Kyle Doyon

Gray Blobby Thing Wins!! <-- This is where I lost it! 🤣🤣

Stephen Smith

So very glad you posted this. Always love your videos and laugh when you discover or find something interesting, but these voice overs had me bursting out laughing and happy to be a Patreon so I can see the full thing!

Zack bussard

Can I get "Gray Bobby Thing Wins!!" As a ring tone 🤣

Ken - Kendo161

I don't know which is funnier, your VO or you trying not to laugh, I agree with Zach a ring tone would be funny play it on a hidden Bluetooth speaker to prank a family member. awesome content. and Jeremy without a script.

Guardian 452 Bob

The only thing I wanted more than this was uncensored Lee on No Dumb Questions.

Justin Smith

This made my night. Thanks for sharing! Pinky promise, not sharing!

Kaleb Moseman

Honestly, more senseless yelling in general is a good thing. This was great.

Norcross Family

Video and audio seem to be out of sync on playback in the first couple seconds of watching it so far

Brian Pedersen

Love the Muttley snicker after each one!

Norcross Family

Thanks for the entertaining trip to school for the kids this morning!

Michael Steeves

This is silly and ridiculous. I'm glad people enjoy it!

Paul Edhlund

That is the funniest thing I have seen in a long while! Thanks for sharing it.

Brad Coleman

Until you cut to it in the video, I had no idea it was you screaming. It was perfect! So funny.

David Evers

The entire time I was watching the video on YouTube I was hoping to see this footage. My dream is fulfilled!

Miguel

Jeremy is hilarious - engineer turned screamnouncer. He makes me want to visit spaghetti junction.

Timothy Smith

The fact that you're having so much fun with this makes it even better!

Phil Bossman

<> THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE YELLING VIDEO.... ... IT WAS AAAWESOOOMMMEEEE <>

Robert Eden

What was your family's reaction in other rooms?

Glenn Wilson

I would pay for a smarter everyday yelling ring tone. "YOU HAVE AN INCOMING PHONE CALL. -- ANSWER!!!" -- complete with snickers afterward. Thanks so much for sharing!

Rachael Franklin

My principal just walked by my room and thought as stating a fight club 😂😂😂😂😂 Made my day!!!!

Chris Robert

I laughed every time you did. That was awesome. I can’t imagine your voice the rest of the day, though.

Axel Gieck

What’s with the clapping? And I think Spaghetti-Junction should have been like spaaaaahhhgetttiiiiiiii Junktioooooooonnnnnnnn!!!!

Axel Gieck

But with the guitar background!!! It’s be AAAAWWEEESSSOOOOMMEE

Amikke

Absolutely hilarious XD Shame that I can't send it to my friends.

Amikke

Where's MAXIMUM NOODLAGE?

Will Roy

THIS WAS A GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU FOR SHAAAAAAAAARIIIIIIIIING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Micah Cowan

OMG this is awesome and I can't wait to watch it (watched just the first couple). This is an awesome gift - I loved seeing the little clip you did include in the main video, so getting the whole thing.... my son and I are gonna get popcorn, sit on the couch, and watch this proper ^_^

Kevin A Southall

HAHAHA, Love it! I do videos for my 3-5 STEM classes and now I know I need to make a "behind the scenes" video. This is great.

Trint Ladd

I shared the actual battle video with a friend of mine. HE said he wanted a ringtone of the yelling announcer. (But I'm honoring Destin's request to keep this private.) This needs to be a thing!!

Jeremy Cole

Clapping is used to sync multiple microphones and cameras when editing later, as it gives a very "sharp" point to sync audio to.

Craig Cunningham

I'd say in this case it's more to easily identify between each section. The 3 claps will clip the microphone which will show on the audio clip so the editor can cut the clip.

FlyingBrickyard

This was fantastic! The "gray blobby thing" bits made me think of Morbo from Futurama.

Charles Mueller

There must be an online index of the videos you have produced. Please point me to it.

Colin Principe

Fundraiser/merch idea: For $10 Destin will scream your name.

John Cox

Ah, the dinner conversation that must have followed :)

Clifton Ballad

Wait, What was the part about Adam Sandler?! Also, thanks for reminding me i'm old...

Martin Croft

You're so lucky that you didn't have to do this live. Meow!

Luke Andrew

Well...if the PhD doesn't work out, there's always MMA announcing to fall back on

Icicle C Cold

YAS!! Thank you!! I promise not to distribute this!

Icicle C Cold

Also, I have to ask, did you play/watch videos of any Mortal Kombat to get ideas for tone?

Taxman Tenkon

🤣🤣🤣🤣🥵🤣🤣🤣

Tony Roma

You made my Friday... this was AWESOME!!!

Josh Patterson

I keep waiting for "DOCTOR OCTOGONOPUS!! or IMA FIRIN'

Michael Grauberger

watching this before watching the actual video, and im dead without the context of it haha

Andrew Phillips

Destin sacrificing his voice for the cause of highly suspect science is the best thing about this day.

CURTISSCOTT

What would be interesting would be to see if you could train an AI to turn a script into the screaming. It looked like a lot of fun, anyhow.
