Are you or anyone you know going through a divorce? If so, i'm sorry to hear about it, but we'd love to help divide the assets.
Don’t steal our videos, if you’d like to use our video for something please contact us via email. - บันเทิง
Thanks for 1 Million! We hope this satisfies your curiosities. We’re excited for the future of the channel. We’ll try to respond to any questions you have that weren’t answered in the video. Just please keep it civil.
I miss the lick tests
So glad this was made. Thank you guys
You guys need to make a toilet brownie reunion special
Did you taste the microphone to make sure it was a real microphone. =P
We were awkward in the first videos did you ever watch them? - "You had hair." 💀💀💀💀 I miss the old days lmoa.
I did not realize Dan and Mitch never worked for Craig. I thought they were his employees who got permission to use the shop after hours. Cool to see behind the curtain. Now I'm curious what their current adventure is.
Same here. I thought Craig was Mitchell dad lol
@@mstringhami also thought craig was mitches dad
Same lol
Same! I even thought for a while "he definitely would've fired their asses by now if they weren't family." 😂
Same
I always thought Mitchell got some weird brain disease from licking the wrong thing and Dan felt responsible and had to take care of him. But glad to know all is well!
Hahaha!
Hahahahah that wouldn't surprise me one bit
LOL, Kind of like "Rain Man".
Da heck, you killed me😂😂😂
🤣🤣
I'll be honest. I haven't watched the channel since Dan and Mitch left. Like it faded out from my regular watch then when I came back I was like "who are these guys and wheres Dan and Mitch?". I think maybe I watched another one some point later and now this one. I didn't watch it for the waterjet, I watched for you two guys (especially Mitch and his lick tests).
Same. It also happened to Patrick's channel when he stopped being in videos.
This. I remember having stopped enjoying videos where the new guys appeared in first „as help“. I don’t know why. Once they completely took over I stopped watching it altogether. I don’t like the new humor, I don’t like the new content and I (yeah, that’s.. bad I know) can’t listen to the new guy/s without cringing SOO hard every time they say anything. View counts agree with it. The new creators and especially the new content does not perform.
Damn I had always thought you guys were just employees and wanted to mess around after hours.
Lol yeah, same. Never would've guessed otherwise.
Me too!
with how extremely chill the owner is, it was a reasonable guess. Especially when they plunk their own damn waterjet down in the same building
Great to see Dan and Mitchell again. I've missed you guys. Part of the reason I liked your channel, was that you both have an odd sense of humour, and your chemistry together was perfect. Nothing was too serious - the video where I think you cut up an anvil, and then return to the store, to get a refund, because it was faulty, made me cry with laughter. Similarly, accidentally firing a skateboard wheel into Craig's roof, was hilarious.
The first video I ever saw of yours did not feature the water jet. It did, however, feature Mitchell seeing what pepper spray, or maybe CS gas was like.
It was a real 'are you guys mental?' moment, and I knew I had to see whatever other batshit crazy stuff you had done - and I was not disappointed. I do hope you return one day.
Nice one. 👍👍👍
The said they never put much effort into their videos, but that's what I liked about it. It didn't feel like over-produced garbage, it was just some goofballs messing around and having fun. It reminded me a lot of Is It a Good Idea to Microwave This? and to a lesser degree the Hydraulic Press Channel and the early seasons of Mythbusters.
The spray videos are the best 😂😂😂
The Microwave channel is pure youtube nostalgia
@@Hunter12396yeah reminds me of the microwave channel. I grew up watching those kids. Something about the careless low quality production just makes a cozy watch
@@Hunter12396 Since the buyout they kinda have lost that style, now it feels too...overproduced, too much editing, too much forced feeling.
Then again, when you force something to be a business, like most channels, they change. They may grow, but it's unrecognizable compared to before.
Dan and Mitchell are the Waterjet Channel, it's never been quite the same since they left.
This video was more cathartic than you guys can imagine, lol. I always thought for some reason some big wig owner kicked Dan and Mitch out of the business and put another less costly person in place. No idea why I didn't think Dan and Mitch ran the biz themselves, lol. Makes me happy and sad that it was ultimately their choice to move on from this channel, but I guess that's the way it goes.
I agree, it did feel like a corporate take over and that Dan & Mitch was being forced out; but hearing it from them makes more sense. That the burnout was the negative vibe coming through and not a corporate overload.
Also knowing about the take over explains why there's a lot less of waterjet related content and more random stuff. It helps to explain a lot.
As much as we miss Dan & Mitch, it is awesome to see that the new team is trying to make it their own without (as to say) dissing the originals. Good luck to the team for the future :D
Yeah glad to see they’re all on good terms and doing well
I thought the same thing
@@NephiaustPlus the waterjet is probably in use most of the time for the knife business they were talking about.
@@nikkiofthevalley I would tend to agree with that. But as I said, it was more of 'ohhhhh..... thats why' type of thing; not as a negative comment but a comment of understanding
Thanks for answering our burning questions. Hope Dan and Mitch tell us what they're up to at the moment someday.
drugs
They failed to address my burning question. No one can tell me why it burns when I pee…
@@RandomBogeygot it from the toilet seat…
@@RandomBogeymy girlfriend said that it just happens sometimes and not to look into it any further.
Dan and Mitchell need to have a podcast. I could listen to them talk about random stuff for like two hours straight.
For some reason now that I know this I want to watch the water jet channel again. It never became bad to me I just drifted away. I just really started watching for the chemistry and the comedy between the two initial creators. But now that I know the story I want to support it.
I always thought that Mitch and Dan were employees and came up with the humorous side of just messing around. Dan was the straight man and Mitchell was the "humor". The Mitchell "taste test" was always a favorite.
Glad to know all of you are still buddies. Thanks for filling in these details on the history of the channel!
Cheers guys
I had started watching the water jet channel at the beginning and have been watching since and then I followed Dan and Mitchell back when they moved back to working on cars for a little which was fun to watch but I’m glad we got solid answers to what happened with the channels
I'm an OG Dan and Mitchell subscriber and I'll admit I miss some of the spirit of those original videos.
Daniel has a tough job and chasing the algorithm is no easy task.
When the new project becomes open information I'd love another update.
I missed Dan and Mitchell and I always wondered what happened to you guys. I wish you luck in your future endeavors.
Mitchells sense of humor is what kept me coming back. Great video guys! Good luck with all your new endeavors!
The lore of this channel is insane
Matpat be ready
Patrick's commitment to using the dish soap as a microphone is incredible.
Good luck to Dan and Mitch, I am really curious what is their current project. I do remember they started a channel working on cars, but nothing ever happened with it.
Also happy to know there is no animosity or some huge fight that forced them to sell or change the channel. Just two dudes hanging out and wanting to move on.
Isn't that a lint roller?
@@Bloeki123Patrick is the forth fella to come on screen
@@Bloeki123
The one with the lint roller is Daniel.
Also, it's a rinse aid, not soap 😂
I really enjoyed Dan and Mitchell's videos for sure. And the new team is also awesome to watch . I'm just glad the channel stayed around. If Dan and Mitchell start something else I'll definitely watch that channel also. But I'm a water jet channel fan and I'm here to stay
I appreciate the microphone use in this video. Patrick especially, holding it for the people sitting next to him. And I also appreciate the story here. Thanks!
Well… still missing Mitch lick of authenticity! Good work guys! 👍
To me Dan and Mitch are the Waterjet Channel. They have a great dynamic together.
I appreciate Patrick actually taking the mic bit seriously and holding it up while he talks and moving it around as everyone else talks. Lol
If I'm honest, this is the first full video I've watched since the petrified wood knife from a year ago. It's nothing against the new team, y'all are doing your thing, and kudos on you for it. I was just a fan of Dan and Mitchell and when they quit doing videos, I fell off. I've stayed subscribed but just don't really watch anymore. I'll watch a short occasionally. And it's nothing against y'all, I was just a fan of Dan and Mitchell is all.
100% I think it's mostly the difference in humor for me. None of it is bad, just not my taste. Best of luck to them!
At least the torpedo was fired consciously with the full consent and awareness of both the people jumping ship and the ones who would be remaining behind to sink slowly.
I gotta say, I was gonna watch a video a while back, and some “imposter” did the “lick test” to see what it was, and I was like “wait what? Who’re these guys?” and I’ve just never really been back. That being said, thanks for this, closure indeed, is good.
This has to be the shortest lore video I've watched on TH-cam recently.
Thanks for all the work, guys.
Daniel is Patrick’s little brother?! You guys already have a sitcom
I was here when this channel was a baby and Dan and Mitch were just starting! Those were the days!
i watched you guys SO much for years. i'm so glad to see you two. thanks for sharing these stories, it's rare to see so much of the transparency.
How has this channel only just hit 1 mil subs... deserved that a long time ago, glad to see you guys hit it and current crew is awesome!
I never even realized the channel went through this change lol, kinda just stopped watching 4 years ago after 2-3 years of religiously watching everything as soon it came out. Classic ADHD, from hyperfocus to oblivion in the blink of an eye. It was always in the back of my mind tho, like "I miss those funny weird guys, one day I'll go back and power thru all the unseen videos at once", aaaand 4 years went by. Funny how this one got enough of my attention to make me click, and knowing the full story now makes me wanna go back where I left and watch it all. Hope Dan and Mitch succeed on their new project, and come by occasionally to appear on camera!
This is somehow cathartic and sad, glad they're still all friends and living life... sucks that life hits and things change.
Please let us know what Dan and Mitch are up to in the future :)
I am super happy you guys put this video out. I miss Dan and Mitchell especially the personality of Mitchell just licking everything they cut which was funny. Knowing what happened now makes it much easier to watch knowing why the new faces and what happened to the channel. I absolutely hate TKOR (The King of Random) because they keep changing their people and 0 explanation.
This answers a lot of questions I, and no doubt many others, had... So thank you. Looking forward to what the future brings for you guys
Thank you for sharing the story! I discovered your channel many years ago, through Shonduras, and I admit I was confused when Dan and Mitchell disappeared. I always thought, like many, that you were at least part-time employees of the waterjet workshop. (now I have even more respect to Craig :D)
I'm glad it was all a friendly, although difficult process. I wish all the best to Dan and Mitchell and their new business ideas, as well to the 'new' Waterjet channel crew.
I love all of you guys, so fun to see you guys all together again. Good luck in all your ventures, congratulations on 1mil.
the whole charm this channel had in the og days is unmatched. just some dudes chilling, fucking around and finding out.
I needed this before I quit watching forever. Thank you
I have watched you guys through thick and thin, and it is good to get closer. thank you.
We needed this video a year ago, but I'm glad and happy for all of you. At the end of the day TH-cam has became a business and a business needs to be successful. In order to get there things need to change and adapt. I wish you all the best old and new members.
Thanks for this video. As viewers we take for granted the work that goes on behind the scenes. As much as I really enjoyed the "casual" approach to the videos Mitch/Dan had, I think the transition is going great. The chemistry is there. A lot of youtube channels would not have survived this.
I'm glad you did this. Finally give some closure to the guys that couldn't get over Dan and Mitchell not being their internet friends uploading funny vidz anymore.
Good luck on making the youtube thing work out long enough to pay off the waterjet loan.
Didn't watch the channel way back, I think i subbed about a year ago. I enjoyed the content so much though, i went back to watch the channel from the beggining. I've loved every video and still do. I personally hope to see Dan and Mitchell featured a lil more in the future. All of you together make for some great energy. Thank you for y'all's hard work and congrats on 1 million! Keep it up Daniel 😁
Glad everyone seems to be doing well and love the channel. I designed my wedding ring with Patricks company becuase of the collab yall did in June of 2017! Also today is my anniversary. What are the odds lol
Amazing! That's a neat cosmic coincidence!
Thank you for the history closure! It puts my mind at ease knowing nothing terrible happened.
It was SO good to see Dan and Mitch again! Some of my absolute favorite videos of all time on TH-cam are the videos you guys made! One I'll never forget and have shown SO many people is when you cut the chainsaw, then tried to return it to the store! That was TH-cam gold! All of the videos where Mitch was doing crazy stuff in stores with a straight face are easily my favorite videos! It made my day to see them back again and to know that all is well with them! I can't wait to see the million sub video with them in it! Mitch and Dan, take care of yourselves, and I hope to see you guys again in the future!
I WANT DAN AND MITCHELL BACK!
Kidding, OG subscriber here. I really appreciate you guys finally making this video and addressing all the questions. I love where the channel came from, I love where the channel is now. Congrats on 1M subscribers.
THANK YOU! Dan and Mitch made this channel what it was. Lightning in a bottle. They were able to capture my curiosity of dumb irrelevant stuff like water-jetting items, shooting stuff out of an air cannon ect. All the while having their qwerks that made it feel wholesome. Just a couple of buds, doin dumb shit and making some money on the side. THATS what brought me in. So when they just dipped out it made it hard to continue to watch as I felt like it was replaced by a “company” style of TH-camr and it turned out I was right. Dan and Mitch made this channel and it won’t be the same and it’s not fair for me to expect that. So thanks Dan and Mitch for your explanation! I hope you guys do restart a TH-cam channel as I know you would get to that 1,000,000 sub mark a lot faster than you think. As for the new regime on the Channel, I hope you continue to grow and learn how to reach that content that made this so awesome in the first place!
Its been a wild ride for sure as a subscriber, and honestly the newer stuff isn't bad, just different. And lets be real change scares us all lol. I happy the channel continued and Dan and MItch are kinda doing their own thing ( i guess working for the fucking CIA with how they danced around it lol). But eh I just like seeing shit cut in half or quartered or really just cut in general :D
Thank you for this video! Always enjoyed the original crew. When new came around i also enjoyed the goofy quirkiness but wondered what happened.
WOULD LOVE to hear more about Dan and Mitchell new adventures!!!
I've been a subscriber for over a year and always enjoyed your craziness. I'm glad you posted this and I'm still staying a subscriber...AND I just subscribed to Patrick's channel just to see what he's doing. Keep up the good work.
What a great video, I had so many questions about where yall went. This clears alot up and other things i didnt even think to wonder about. Good luck on future endeavors. I enjoyed every minute of your videos
The channel definitely took a turn for the worse when the OGs left. I only watched this video because they're in it. Now I know why the channel went to crap. I'll stay subscribed, but I rarely click. Just being honest, fellas. Good luck to you in the future!
Very interesting. Thanks for shedding light on this mystery
I’m glad they clarified that they are only posting every other week now. I was worried it was going away but hopefully the channel will stay.
I am so glad you guys did this. I was wondering for some time what happened. It's nice to have closure. I will start watching again.
I think it was a shame you didn't immediately give this explanation when it changed hands. Thanks for the explanation!
Congrats on the million, I love all of your guy's content new and old :) I was so ecstatic meeting Daniel at open sauce this summer
I've been suggested and watched your videos randomly for years. I finally subbed a few months ago and I gotta say your videos are very funny and entertaining. Cheers!
I'm glad to see Dan and Mitchell again, Love your guys humor and I'm happy to hear you guys are still doing well. Daniel video's might very different from the original content, but thats what show-bis is, it changes over time. Every video he makes is full of fun and interesting experiments, thank you for what you do and make more.
Been watching for a long time. I loved the Dan and Mitchell humor, and energy back in th e day. I still love watching, and find the videos hilarious. the new direction is great! Keep up the good work, everyone!
It was really cool to get to know the "inside baseball" of it all, and I'm glad to see that Dan and Mitch didn't just vanish and doing well! I've always enjoyed the Waterjet Channel for what it is: pure, silly fun, with a waterjet, and the Next Generation is just as fun as the previous. I do miss Dan and Mitch's dynamic, though! Also, I don't think a lot of people really get how tough it is to maintain a channel past a few viral hits - not everyone can sustain a channel doing vapid reaction videos for 35M subs, it takes a special "skill" for that! Congrats on 1 million subs, keep up the good work!
If I'm picking up what you're putting down with the "vapid reaction videos" comment, I feel like you definitely need _two_ "special skills" for that.
I've been watching since the very early days and I've been wondering what happened since it's been fairly evident that the channel had changed a lot so I really appreciate the explanation of the behind the scenes. I'll continue watching and cringing when things are done badly, because much as we might complain when something is done badly/uses the wrong technique it's actually a lot of fun to nerd out in the comments and backseat the video with people of different areas of expertise (most notably with the world's fastest wheel series where you took the most difficult route to failure like using threaded rod as an axel with custom machined bearings causing them to fail completely rather than going with the easier and better option of quickly making a custom axle which I can only assume was intentional)
It'll be interesting to see what the future holds for the channel and again thanks for making this video with the transparency and explanation
Jo, I loved Dan and Mitch and I really miss them sometimes and I'm a follower since "the good ol' days" but you can see how much work and time you guys now put into this channel and daniel and palmer have a great synergy. I think you're on a great way and I'm happy this channel stil exists. Hope you're doin well in the future too
Grew up on YT watching Dan and Mitch since the first few videos, I kinda started getting tired of just watching things be cut. And then I do admit once they weren't on the channel anymore I kinda stopped watching very often xp
But this is very cool blast from the past and cool hearing what the story was. Thank you two back then and also everyone now for great videos!
I am proud to hear that the water channel is doing better and better I have nothing bad to say about the new kid it would be nice to have Dan and Mitchell back like every once in a while cuz all of y'all's shenanigans for all is super amusing
I always loved Mitch's lick tests and odd sense of humor. It wasnt the same after they left.
Yooooo. I feel like I’ve been subbed since close to the start. I do miss Dan and Mitchell, but I do really enjoy the channel still. You can definitely tell the effort that they put in to the videos. Totally understand why you moved on. Loved the update! Hope all is well
I would love to see Dan and Michell back from time to time, you guys are amazing! That being said the new style of video is really enjoyable for me aswell, although I can see it being jarring for some of the much older subcribers. Whether you make cameos from time to time or not, I wish you guys the best in what comes next, and you better get it annouced on this channel so we can watch that too
I’m glad all is good with u guys I was worried something happened behind the scenes but it makes me happy to know everyone doing well I hope to see more of Dan and Mitch even if it’s not doing waterjet stuff
Thank you for making this video. This answers alot of questions I've had. Also new guy I think you're doing a great job. Keep it up.
I’ve been waiting for this video for years. Thank you, Dan and Mitch.
I've wondered what happened for so long! Thank you for sharing! It feels so weird, I've been watching since the beginning, it still feels like the Flow waterjet is the new hot thing on the channel, I miss old youtube, but Daniel is good too, can't wait to see what y'all do in the future!
The channel can’t die until you borrow Craig’s waterjet to cut your waterjet
I miss Dan and Mitchell so much. Their dynamic is so funny. Hope they come back eventually. Just waiting.
I feel like the community missing them is more about the chemistry behind the old water jet guys and the lick testing
Thank you guys for coming on and telling the story. Glad you both are doing well.
I'm still subscribed even though the hosts changed. I never minded the change that much. I love your: Can it knife? videos, and I was thinking you should do a can you make a knife out of plexiglass. Good luck on your future endeavors I'll still be here and cant wait to see where it goes from here.
Remember when they cut the chainsaw in half and returned it? That was the video that got me hooked 😂
Glad to see the OG dudes back and hear how it all started. Love the channel and glad to see that it's still active. The Adair buyout is a plot twist I never expected but it's cool that he's investing in it and keeping it going
I got into the channel in the last few months of Dan and Mitchell alone (but watched all the old videos) and when the hosts change occurred i still gave them a chance and now i still watch the channel everytime you upload
Thanks for this. I feel a lot better remaining a subscriber. Always hated that there was so many explanations for what happened without anything definitive.
I have been wondering for a while where Dan and Mitchel went. I appreciate getting the full story. It’s not the same as it was, but I appreciate that you are trying to take it in a positive direction. It’s sometimes hard for me to accept that we are past the old days of TH-cam. I really loved how genuine the old school videos were. Something about two friends just playing around with a water jet just felt so right on TH-cam. I can’t say I won’t miss it. But I’m glad to see it being taken in a positive direction.
It's so difficult nowadays to find "genuine" content. A lot of stuff is just immediately visible as being produced with the goal of pleasing the algorithm. A lot of things on the internet have become more of a game to beat the algorithm than actually producing stuff people want/are willing to pay for. Even though I think it's great people can live off of it nowadays I really wish we could go back to the old times of people just doing somewhat random videos and having fun. If it was good it would become a top-viewed video, and if not then it didn't. Just finding new channels like that is basically impossible nowadays if you don't already know about them.
Google has turned into absolute garbage. It's a sinking ship and they are now in the process of cashing out as they sink.
i really miss dan and Mitchell, i really felt sad when they leave.
Daniel's great and I can't imagine thinking that he doesn't put effort into the videos. Keep it up man, love your sense of humorr
I miss you guys so much 😢
As a newer subscriber I think Daniel is hilarious and probably the main reason I watch the videos.
As an OG sub I'm happy to finally have closure on how the channel as progressed. I wish this had been mentioned earlier, but thank you for this video!
well, as much as I've enjoyed this channel it quite literally just isnt the same anymore. Peace ✌️
Thank you for this video guys. It made me kind of sad, hearing you talk about what happened, and it seems like this little passion project got way further than y'all thought... I hope you are doing well still, and Daniel, if you see this, I know it must've been hard. On every single video, comments were slamming on you, but man, you made me laugh, and you're doing a great job.
Much love guys, you seem so normal (in the good way) :)
algorithm hasn't recommended this channel to me in like... 2-3 years. somehow it served this up and i'm looking forward to watching all the videos i missed.
We will always want Dan and Mitchell back! But we do love Daniel of course
No we don’t.
@@johnnysins4158well I do, give him some love, he deserves this! Daniel, if you're seeing this, keep it up boi, you're awesome
@@johnnysins4158bruh c'mon be a little respectful
Nah Dan and Mitchell were so much better. I’ve watched 3 episodes since they left and that’s counting this one. Value went down 10 fold when they left because now it’s just “what kind of goofy clown can I be today?” Instead of a charismatic duo that keeps it light and keeps us engaged.
Is everyone holding something as a microphone stand-in?
Love the part where Mitch rips the money in half 😂
Thanks for the closure, I was a very early subscriber, and really liked watching those 2. I wish they'd share what they've been up to, but happy to respect their privacy.
Finally some fucking answers.
I appreciate you answering it all and bringing Dan and Mitch back for explanations. I now will watch this channel more since I know Dan and Mitch weren't Zuckerbergd out of the channel.
I love the direction Daniel has taken the channel. I personally think his edits and jokes are very entertaining. Great job Daniel!!!
I’ve been subscribed since.. a long time ago.. I haven’t seen a single video in years until this one. The algo is a cruel mistress.
Thanks for bringing us closure. We'll remember what you did and be happy to see you do something new that excites you!
