Thanks buddy!!
Y’all were awesome!!
Thank Mikey, David, Mitchell, Cameron, Jenna, Clint, everyone else and YOU off course!! ❤❤
You could make the fireplace at 4:00 a gas fireplace
I was expecting more people
Have you considered making dirt bike/ATV trails? I think that would be awesome!
@@DinduNufin me 2 but ít looks amazing, lot of fun
The eclipse event was a big success! I have a few “shout-outs”: MATT was incredible. He was laid-back and fun, taking pictures with anyone who asked. He hung out with everyone during the event and even played football with my kids. Great guy, with a great attitude. CAMERON is the new Resort Manager. At least three times (once to me), I heard Cameron say “Oh, don’t worry about that; we will take care of it for you.” Then, he took care of it. Matt’s positive outlook and customer-focused attitude were echoed by every member of the staff - especially Cameron. When Cameron took us on a tour of the property, you could hear his genuine excitement about the plans they have for the resort. Now, I’m excited, too. Sign me up for opening day. The CAVE GUYS set up a super-cool rope swing over the Guadalupe River for the kids to play on - thanks for that! The BAND had my kids dancing all evening until they were out of energy - special thanks for that! And, OKIELEMON provided great food and drinks; so, I never even fired up my camp grill. Great event. Oh yeah… and Matt blocked out the sun during the middle of the day!
He was cool in person like he seems on video??not one those fake youtubers that put on a front when camera is on?
@@wickedvegas702the man is incredibly nice. I didn’t hear anyone have a bad experience. Neither anyone who attended or people in town.
@@wickedvegas702 Yes, genuine. Just like in videos.
Awesome as always. I’ll get down there someday. 😊
soo glad you guys had a great time really wish i could of been there
Only Matt can make a field of strangers look like a family reunion well done sir!
It felt like that, too. (I was the old grey beard with the BootySnapple shirt in case we met 😅 )
I seen more people at a family reunion. lol
@@petertrast Looked like a good time..👍👍
Matt is a family man I wouldn’t think anything else he did something to bring people together and have some stupid fun and it does sound amazing I wish I was there
At first I thought the prices for a spot was high, but after seeing this video I realize it was actually a value.
What i LOVE LOVE LOVE about this is that its not a sea of "influencers" experiencing the event through their own content creation. You have a pasture full of real people making connections and memories. This is what you and your team needed to boost the motivation to keep working through the challenges. I cant wait to be able to put the Desperado Ranch as a stop on my next USA roadtrip from Australia ❤
There was A LOT of people on Instagram complaining about your pricing. I said and stood by it, it *WILL* sell out! You said it perfectly, the people that showed up weren't there for a good time, they were there to support what you're doing. I'm so glad you have this following, some people don't understand what you're really trying to do. You're killing it, I wish I could have been there but I'm glad to see this amazing footage! Best of luck to you. Thank you for the content Matt!!!
Yeah and with millions of followers it will sell out even if the price is CRAZY
By keeping the price high he made sure that the trouble makers would NOT be attending. Guaranteed the whiners on instatrash would have been the ones at the event bitching and causing a problem.
Seeing how some prices exploded I assume ha was in a good average scale just for the two to three nights...but offering a band for three days, games, entertainment and food is a whole different scale.
I'm pretty sure that some of those people that complained are those types that complain about the beer price, but would spend hundred bucks of fuel to get there
How much were the spots? Happy for him and the support he’s getting.
How much was the cost for a spot?
BootySnapple Fest should become a yearly event. Music, games, hiking, exploring and the list goes on what can be done. And not to mention the amount of work you will have completed every year to show off the place. You’ve created a tradition! I’m sure the “demolitia” agrees and you know they will come!! BootySnapple Fest 2025!!!!
I second this. That is a great idea! Matt take note, you need to make this happen.
I 3rd it, even tho I was home in Tennessee, and we had the same problem, *CLOUDS*, but 88% coverage tho...
One of these days I'll make it down there!
4th
Annual Bootysnapple fest sounds like an amazing idea. I carry the motion.
I'll end up out there eventually! Love from Minnesota
As a Husband and father of 4 myself 3 of which being girls I completely understand and support your decision to not have your family in your videos anymore but man it is sad and feels so weird to not see Mere and the kids there with you enjoying that like the old days!! Congratulations on the event really wish I could've been there it looks like a blast. Well done Matt and crew!
They were all there! Just not on video. Nothing changed in my life, just made the call to shield them from the negatives of social media. They had an awesome time too
Awesome that’s good the family had a great time, looks like it was a fun event. Congrats on pulling it off.
Keep them private for now and let them decide later on. Good decision! Keep up the good spirit and spreading joy both on and off the ranch! ❤@@OffTheRanch
@@rdejaynesu good bro?🤣
@rdejaynes you're exactly the type of person he is trying to shield his family from.
Great event! Matt and crew couldn’t have been more hospitable. The stage they built and Steve running sound for us made it even better. So good meeting a lot of you folks from all over the country and world! Honored to be have been a part of it.
At 15:11 after he “signs” the dog’s ear he instantly goes to pet the pup without even looking. The Vet has never left Matt and this tiny moment shows who Matt really is. Absolutely love it!! He is a good man for sure.. No doubt!
31:03 YOUR WELCOME!! And yes, that’s my wife and kids on those sleds!!! Brother and sister racing and son racing Mikey!!
And the Mom has already had one knee surgery from her days playing roller derby for the Houston Psych Ward Sirens.
I don't know what in the west Texas I watched all weekend, but my god it was entertaining. Still sad they never sent it into the river! Much love for the family, Sir.
Sounds like an amazing time!
Thanks again, Pa! 😂
@@Matt54956Love you MATT FROM WISCONSIN!!! ❤❤
@@Matt54956you’re welcome Jack Black!! 😂😂😂
Literally dropped everything when i saw notification of this video!
Same. I was worried I’d be at work when he dropped this🤣
Likewise
Same. I was waiting for this video. Was searching for it yesterday hoping it would be edited. 😂
Same here. Right before I got a shower too. Good thing my phone is waterproof
Hope you weren’t holding glass.
Thanks so much for the opportunity to come and see the eclipse (mostly 😂) at your awesome freakin' resort! Everybody saying Matt is a genuine dude ain't kidding! Good people surrounded by good people. Super fun time and I can't wait to have an opportunity to come shoot at your range! (btw the Cuda is way more badass in person!)
Also, thanks to David for finding my GoPro!! Camera man had the camera senses tingling!
Thanks Dave 😊
"Its good to know we've advanced so far in society, but we're still pretty dumb".
No truer words have ever been spoken. 🤣
I am sitting here alone in my shitty flat in Wales, and this makes me so happy just to watch.
So happy and proud of you man!
Living the dream!
You are not alone my friend. Cancer took my wife and my house in medical bills. I waited for this video, I may watch it 3x's today just for the positive energy.
@@minuteman2547 Only love and positive vibes to you my friend
Same here in not so sunny England....reminds me of august 1999 when I travelled to cornwall to see these same kind of clips....yep...cloudy ...but that eerie shortest night of the year....maan that was something!..
It’s not stopped raining here in 🏴for weeks
@@Jonny_The_Organism I saw the exact same eclipse in South Africa when I was in school.
We ripped up floppy disks to fold over the film to look at the sun.
Good times!
As the only solo female camper at the event, I give it 5 stars. Family friendly felt totally safe and welcome. Lovely place to camp and enjoy the eclipse. Great vendors, good music, Matt and company are as nice in person as they appear on the channel. Hoping there are more opportunities to visit the ranch in the future. And my American bulldog looks super cute in the video. ❤
Matt is such a neat guy. I love seeing him so happy. What a humble, respectable, and sweet man his parents raised him to be. I know Mark was there too...cheering it all on.
As l was watching l kept thinking how Mark would have loved this.
As a 2 decades long festival goer, I have 2 advices for future things like that. 1) Have a dedicated parking lot for vehicles you don't sleep in, better communal feeling and less chances of accidentally damaging stuff while horsing around. 2) More lights in the dark. To find the porta potties at night and stuff. Camping torches to outline the ways are cheap and work. Spots on the trees work too and are a bit more fancy plus you can get really creative with colors. Anyways good job for your first gig, had everything you'll need there. Food, stalls, medics, security and entertainment!
The Demolitia doesn't need camping torches; we all have EDC flashlights. And, our guns were in our cars/trucks -- so, they needed to stay close. :)
@@LSULaw2000 What about medic or medics? Asking for a friend...lol!
@@blagmate5516 There was a medic station. But, i bet every vehicle had a FAK. Without a doubt, there were more CAT 7 tourniquets in that field than you would find in stock at any CVS or Walgreens.
LAZERZ!
Dj MAdCow here
Still driving home to Buffalo NY
Thanks for having me and hope you enjoyed it all , even with some technical difficulties .. hopefully you didn’t notice too much and had a great time… Glad I was part of it and hope everyone just had fun
Fellow DJ here. I was wondering who was playing the band breaks! That's awesome! The crowd usually doesn't pick up on most things, just fellow DJs and musicians haha!
My wife loved the set the day of the eclipse was a great time.
@@omegaentertainment1 haha yeah... thats the nature of the beast, the better you do the less your thought about. There is actually a lot I provided no one knows about lol . However its about the event not me.
Also Fellow New Yorker (Rather be in Tx though haha).
Sounds like a lot of fun was had. You guys had the same weather as upstate NY did. Cloudy as hell then a little rain right after the eclipse.
Hopefully driving safe 😊
Been waiting for this video since Monday!!!
Same 😂
@@teamupward1206 I’m from Laredo, Tx like 3 hours away from the Desperado Ranch Resort, we didn’t get that dark here…
Me too.
Ditto, not helped by the fact that the day came and went here 20 hours before it even started there ! What place to go , the place to be. Mores the pity it is just so so far away. The adventures that were had that day by those that could. Am envious, at least I finally get to see it from the comfort of the lounge chair. Am looking forward to further renovations & activities planned. The best channel on YT I reckon. 🇳🇿 😎
I had been waiting to hear how it went, and I really enjoyed the video. It is weird to be this happy that something went so well for someone that you only know about through TH-cam videos. People like the ones in this video are what makes this country great. I hope your success continues. God Bless.
YES!
This was so beautiful... the love, the happiness, the support ...now, I'm a crying mess 🥲😭🙏🏼 family gatherings coming up at the Desperado Resort 💖🙌🏼
Talk about hearts being happy, I love seeing your Dad helping and being there for you!! And I’m so happy this worked out and I can’t wait to come down in the future!!
I'm glad it went well !! 👍
I spoke with Lee at length. Just the kind of amazing man you would expect with sons like Matt and his brothers. Drew was awesome. Matt, of course, was exactly what you would expect. Fantastic event.
For anyone wondering the name of the "Bootysnapple song" its called Yeehaw Slap by Dylan Sitts
I really hate that he forcefully conditioned every one too hear that 😂😂 lmfao
You, fine human, are a legend!
@@Chesterfield.Esquire98 It's been stuck in my head for a WEEK. A 56y/o man walking around the house singing... BootySnapple BootySnapple Boo Boo Boobs! And I can't get rid of it!
@DugTrouble you are hardly the only one. I am 60 and doing it too lol
Always love seeing Mikey even though I worry for his safety, he's kinda wild but brings a lot to the videos.
My 23 year old brother in law died yesterday morning. Please pray that he's in a better place
40 minutes of pure joy. Snapshot of an obviously joyous 2 days. So long as the guests are from the Demolitia, every event will be that good.
I'm convinced Matt's audience are the best people in the world.
Except the few weirdos that stalked Mere. 😕
From homemade shotgun shells to signing dogs. You've come far :D well done sir.
His dad Lee and I talked for a long time about Matt's trip from shotguns to resorts, and according to Lee, Matt has always been an amazing person loved by everyone around him. And that feeling is so overwhelming when you actually meet him. He deserves all of his success.
Have been watching since those days and I am still blown away by how much he and everyone has done together. It's madness! Hopefully I can get there one day and get to shake his hand and thank him. As everyone of the comments I've read has said he and the whole team were fantastic. All round good bunch of people.
What a video. Massive congratulations to Matt and the team. We are stoked that the event went so well for you and everyone there. We hope you get to see this comment but my kids and I have been watching Demolition Ranch for almost 6 years, and although we didn't follow the abandoned mansion vids, my wife even joined in and we have watched all of the resort videos from day one! Genuinely happy for you, from Somerset UK.
(P.S I turn 40 next year, and my wife doesn't yet know it, but she's taking us all to Desperado Resort for my suprise birthday pressie) 😉 Keep up the amazing work, you're gonna smash it!
Love how his face instantly puffs up and you can tell when he's drunk. That's a good ole' southern boy right there!
I was skydiving during totality. Most surreal and probably coolest experience of my life!
Skydivers were trysting set records during totality in Pocahontas, Arkansas!!
Got video
@@Grahzzyvtvlog I do. I had a 360 cam and a "normal" camera on a selfie stick. Haven't edited it yet though.
@@cwinter90 Commenting in hopes of seeing future sick video
Video has been uploaded to my other account with all my other skydiving videos.
@christopherwinter4591
Matt, you could really tell in this video that you felt validated in all of your hard work and that you realized that you CAN do everytning you set out to do with this resort. It was written all over your face. Good on ya, bud. Happy for you, the demolitia, and the fam!
Ya'll gave fans the trip of a lifetime! They will share the video with everyone just to show themselves on a famous TH-cam channel and be SO proud!
I drove to Ohio for the Eclipse. We got lucky with super clear skies. It will be something I will remember for the rest of my life. It's one of those things that you have to see in person to fully appreciate. Very surreally.
Matt will succeed in making this resort amazing because the #1 reason and that is people love him.
I know I do! Been watching him for yrs. Lincoln was a baby when I first started watching. I love him work ethic and his family. I miss seeing the kids grow up, but I sure understand why he's shielding them from the trolls on the web.
I have been having MAJOR FOMO!! So excited for this video. Living vicariously through these lucky people.
I remember you bringing this idea up about having a space like this a long time ago on the demo channel and I'm super glad that its all working out for you!
They put our a video about that plan in a flashback or re run format April 28,2023
If you want to check it out again
Congrats!
What a great bunch of people on your team and your followers!
I have a sneaking suspicion that dog new Matt was a veterinarian. Lol😊
Been waiting for this upload all weekend
Same
For real. I was waiting too :D
Same!
Great to see, Matt & crew. Wholesome and relaxed.
Congratulations. Thanks for being real; thanks for being you.
I know this has to be exciting to see just a small glimpse of the potential this ranch has. great job
I could feel the emotion ! You should be proud of yourself! All those folks showed up for a chance to spend just a moment with you and to show their support because they believe in you ! Great job 👏
I can’t be the only one that’s been waiting for this video. Did not disappoint.
Everything about this is awesome! Good job Matt! The world needs more of this!
So much fun watching your eclipse download!! Thanks for sharing
Small world!! I've went to church and played music with the Stucco Man (Mack Burke)! He's a great man and a very talented musician among other things. It makes me happy seeing you promoting these small town artists and food vendors!! Way to go Matt and team.
Mack is a terrific musician!
Very happy to see this thing working out for you and thanks for letting us, viewers, be part of it. It feels super wholesome
Cheers from Russia
I'm so stoked that your event went so well!! Congratulations to all who came and all who worked!
What a great event .. so happy for you Matt.. it looks like it could be a bigger annual event
Man it's so crazy to see all the *real* people matt has affected with this channel gathering in one place. Really brings a tear to the eye.
The future looks bright for the Desperado Resort, Matt!! 🍻 here's to many more great events and continued success!
What's crazy what having awesome youtube community can do and having ppl come together to enjoy and support especially for cool guy like Matt.
Special kinda thing. A joy to watch the last year of work to get here. Excited for watching things progress!
Looked great! HEAR ME OUT! Desperado Fourth Of July! Of course, you have to account for the heat, but I could see huge water spraying fountains, tubing, and an awesome fireworks display! Just looked like a lot of fun and another event! :)
Account for the heat 😂 Texans are used to the heat
Of course we did. Was such an amazing time. 5 stars amazing crew was such a nice time.
Matt - I'm so thrilled this went off so well for you all. Looks like a great time.
Matt,
I want to say congrats to you, Mer and your team on your first event at the resort. Awesome show and I've enjoyed all of the buildup shows. Proud of you and thank you for the inspiration to us men trying to improve ourselves. All love bro and can't wait to come stay at the resort from VA and meet you!
Glad you made the rounds to see everyone. Shows the type of man you are
It looks like subscribers are actual people!
Nooo really😂😂
Those weren't people, this whole video was clones and lizardbots 😊
@@MattyEngland Having been at the event, I can neither confirm nor deny this allegation.
99 out of 100 are. It's the outliers that ruin it for everyone else.
I can see your genuinely happy, love your sentimentalness (not a word) I’m like that to .. glad your dreams are coming true it’s rare and special!!!
Congratulations Matt for a successful event. I hope to see you at a future event!
Shout out to ALL THE FRIENDS WE MADE !!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Ammaron, Tatum, Helaman, Taylynne and Moroni!!!!
Thanks Matt, Mikey, Cameron, Mitchell, David and THE WHOLE CREW!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Hi Ammaron!! Thanks for the raisin cinnamon french toast Monday morning and for being so friendly to Francis, Tripp and me! Definitely elevated the experience for us. Blessings!
@@petertrastmy pleasure!!!
Glad y’all made it all the way from Arizona!!!
Well if those aren't the most Mormon names I've ever heard 😆😆
@@hoguemrour two oldest, Ammon and Amulek couldn’t make it. 😁
Probably one of your most anticipated videos. I was watching the radar all day and was heartbroken that it was raining by you for the eclipse
I’m so glad everything went well, great job everyone!
Looks like you guys all had a great time. I'm happy to watch you guys grow with the resort. Keep it up..
I think that you should 100% build a solid, permanent stage in that spot. Like you said, those cliffview rooms would be the premium rooms, with full access to whatever is on stage, plus you could have more concert style events held at the ranch as well.
It can be great!
Fireing range would be a great place for conderts too, at night..
I was in a hospital meeting my son for the first time during the eclipse. It wasnt a full eclipse here anyway. Well worth missing.
Congratulations! 🙏
Congratulations 🎉
Priorities, congratulations!
Congrats!!
Congratulations and quite a story for later😊
So awesome to see your video & see all the fun!!! Way to go, Matt & friends!!
Congratulations Dude!
This is just the start!
Keep going bro!
You got this!!!
5:57 Matt I heard the emotion in your voice. Such a long overdue event and attendance on the property! Great job & many more successful events for you, the family and your crew.🇺🇸🙏
My family was hanging out on our back porch during the eclipse down here in Allen, TX. We kept yelling at the clouds as they blocked our view of the different phases of the eclipse. There was a really good break in the clouds for the total eclipse, and then after it was over, the clouds closed up and we got some really cool looking pictures of the clouds lit up by the unique light being put off by the eclipse. I'm thankful the weather held out so that we could see it.
So jealous we couldnt make it. If we had the funds we would have flown our family out from Australia in a heartbeat.
Congratulations Matt and team.
Hopefully this becomes an annual event and one day we can make it.
We had a Blast! and it was very "chill" as you said in the video.. Got to meet Matt.. and all of our neighbors! Looking forward to more! Big thnx to the whole crew!
Love your content matt. Cant believe you've come this far on the ranch in so little time. It feels like yesterday that you bought the mansion, and i love your overall content. Been watching for a little over 9 years and im here to stay 💯💯
Been watching since the beginning and Matt is exactly what you would expect!
@petertrast for real. So glad I grew up on this channel. Can't wait to see what's next
The eclipse blessing was well deserved. Stay positive and stand on your principles and God will continue to bless you. Congrats on the blessing
Thank you Matt. I am so glad people came out to support what you are doing with the property.
I think you will have a great success with this property. Many ways to have different events there.
Congratulations.
I love that you are doing events like this and spending time going around getting to know and talking to people that’s what makes it awesome
Im glad the stage looks like it worked out well.
Great video again, but it does make me sad not to see your family emjoying with you. You're a great family man and respect your choices. I wish the internet was a better place. Thanks for continuing to share.
I missed that aspect of it too. I hope that Meredith and the children were there supporting Matt, & got to enjoy all the family atmosphere & fun .
❤️🖖🏼
He replied to someone's comment and said his whole family was there just not on camera. The internet can be horrible at times especially when it comes to a person's family. One can hold pressure for itself, but when they attack family is a whole different story!
Everyone is so nice and thankful!!
thanks for the on going great content matt!! always a great watch!
I drove 5 hours south of my home town to see totality in Illinois and it was kind of life changing. Thankfully it was clear skies in southern Illinois during the eclipse! It really made me want to travel to see a few more of these events in my lifetime. It was incredible!
Next total solar eclipse is in 20 years so you've got time to prepare🤣😅
@@Osamabintardinnext one is in 2026…
@@Osamabintardin There's a total eclipse somewhere in the world every 17 months
Life changing? How? Please elaborate.
I was in Vienna Illinois at Cedar Lake Campground. Were you near there?
i loved this event it was amazing and THAT rope swing was awesome (btw i was the kid wearing blue swim trunks with no glasses on)
Yep, that’s my boy!! ❤❤
Congrats! That looked like a successful fun event. Sun in the sky and smiles on faces. Rock On !
I'm really happy it turned out so well, you all are working super hard, and you're being rewarded for your dedication.
What a wonderful experience you provided for so many people Matt. Once in a lifetime experience for most people. I saw the total eclipse in February of 1979. I was a young high school teacher out on the Washington coast. All 250 kids in the high school and junior high were standing on the front lawn of the high school when it went totally dark. Now all of those kids are in their late 50's and I am 70 years old. I was 26 way back then.
Respect from the UK
Hi Matt, You are living your best life. Good for you for giving so many people such great memories. I am getting a lot a vicarious pleasure out of your videos. Thanks.
thanks for sharing this event with us... been waiting for this video to see and enjoy the eclips with you all...
Quintessential Americana! Thrilled for you, Matt, Desperado Team, and Guests !!❤
Every now and then on our local river we have a rubber ducky race . The ducks are numbered and raffled off for charity . Takes awhile for them to float down . Then you have to walk the river collecting the ones cought . And you have to catch all the ones that make it to finishing line .
Congratulations Matt!! It looks like you had a very successful event!! The first one of many to come! 🎉🎉🎉
I'm really pleased for you all that it went so well. The Abandoned Resort was, for a couple of days, a misnomer! Hopefully it all worked out to be as lucrative as it was fun, and the renovations can press on.
Great to share your eclipse experience from here in the UK. Thankyou.
Watched the whole video with a smile on my face, so happy for you Matt and the crew! I could feel the friendly atmosphere 🎊
Oh my gosh I couldn’t wait to see the video of your event and it did not disappoint! Thanks for 42 minutes of vicariously enjoying your awesome event! So happy it went so well! Camping people are the best! Two weeks until we get our TT out of storage and I can’t wait to go camping!!
Oh an the thumbnail is epic! As awesome as the event!
We can definitely tell how happy you are. It’s awesome to see and I’m really excited for what comes next. You deserve the best Matt! Congrats. It looked fun.
Thanks Matt. Great show. Congratulations on a great event.
Matt you need to give yourself an your team more credit what youve done in such a short time is amazing an looking at what youve got planned your resort is going to be awesome aswell
"This was burned down when I got here, it was Mikey!"
Congratulations on your first real resort event, looks like a HUGE success 👍👍☀️☀️👍👍
