2019 was a rather emotional year for the two, however, after experiencing the passing of their beloved father, Sean Dolan. According to their video It’s Time To Move On, the brothers shared details of how their father had lost his life to cancer, and they went on to discuss their personal experiences of what loss and grief were like for them while featuring Shane Dawson.
Fun Facts
