The video features Keith Habersberger and Zach Kornfeld as they break down the events that led up to the firing of Fulmer as well as the impact that the viral scandal has had on them as a brand and as individuals.

The third remaining member of the group, Eugene Lee Yang, was not present in the video. Why? Apparently, Yang just doesn't like doing podcasts.

As was confirmed in their explanation video, the Try Guys first became aware of Fulmer's infidelity over Labor Day weekend.

Habersberger and Kornfeld now described a race against the clock as they worked to go about the situation in the smartest way, taking every legal precaution necessary to protect their company and its employees.

The rampant speculation by fans was hard to ignore, with Kornfeld describing it as "a stick of dynamite" they knew would blow up sooner rather than later.

The YouTube stars admitted they were surprised by the extent of news coverage surrounding the scandal.

"The New York Times, NPR, Rolling Stone... I mean, these are publications that are huge and we never thought would be concerned with us," Habersberger said. "And now certainly some of them are 'who are these guys and why does everyone care' articles, but it showed we had a really big effect on a lot of people."

Kornfeld acknowledged the severity of the response from fans and reflected on why people felt so passionate about the scandal. With the group originating back in 2014, the pair speculated that a lot of it was driven by the fact that they were a core memory from the childhoods of many young adults today.

"It feels like a death, not in that dramatic of a sense, but of a loss of something that you loved and thought you knew. And now it is forever – potentially forever – tainted," he said.

The pair was also very candid about how the scandal is affecting their work, both within the Try Guys and outside of it. Kornfeld said that managing the legal affairs of the past month have forced him to leave behind the other projects that he is passionate about.

Amid the panic of the scandal going public, he thought to himself, "Oh my god, everything I've ever worked towards is just f***ing gone."

The episode ended with a "lightning round" clarifying misconceptions that have been floating around the internet.

Kornfeld said that the public statements released by the Try Guys and Fulmer were not coordinated. In fact, they threw some shade at their former colleague for using the same font in his release.

The pair also confirmed that they did not, and will not, retroactively edit anything already published on YouTube, but they did edit him out of some videos that were published after the affair came to light.

However, two videos has been taken down because they were seen as inappropriate in light of the scandal.

What about one of their other shows, You Can Sit With Us, which features Fulmer's wife, Ariel. Habersberger and Kornfeld confirmed that they will be giving her time off so she can process what's happened at her own pace.

Meanwhile, the Try Guys will not be adding an official fourth member, but they will be including more people in their videos here and there.

Finally, the two confirmed that even if the affair had not been made public, Fulmer would have never been welcomed back as a member of the Try Guys.

"It was a workplace violation, and that's that," Kornfeld insisted.
