I’ve been lucky enough to speak to many famous athletes, but I’ll admit these guys had me a little starstruck.
The guys known as Dude Perfect have the biggest sports channel on all of YouTube. With over 9.8 million subscribers and hundreds of millions of views, these five friends (and a panda) have had more eyes on them than many TV and movie stars.
Here’s an example of their perfection doing trick shots with Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin of the Dallas Stars:
I had the chance to talk to the guys from Dude Perfect this week while they were in Toronto meeting fans and shooting hoops with some kids at #DudePerfectTO. We spoke about YouTube, sports, and some cool videos they have coming up.
Here’s our full interview:
We ended the interview with a photo op. Before we took it, Garrett and Tyler asked me about how Benn is regarded in Canada, since Dallas’ captain doesn’t seem to be considered that big of a superstar (no pun intended). I told them Benn is considered one of the more underrated players in the league.
This should be a fun video to look back on when the Leafs end up beating the Stars in the Stanley Cup Final in a few years.
