12 New Details The Try Guys JUST Revealed About The Removal Of Ned Fulmer, Including Why They Won’t Have A New Fourth Member

As you likely now know, YouTube personality Ned Fulmer was recently removed from the Try Guys after admitting to having “a consensual workplace relationship” with an employee after alleged photos of the two kissing went viral and fueled cheating rumors.

3. When the Try Guys released a statement on Ned’s removal, Ned released his own shortly after, and according to Zach, “We shared [with Ned] what our statement was going to be but we did not have insight into what his statement was.”

He also jokingly pointed out that the two released statements in the same font, which was not coordinated, and both Zach and Keith believe Ned saw their statement and intentionally copied. 

“When I saw that, I was like, ‘You had to choose the same font to make it look like we wrote your god–, come on man,'” Zach said. 

“It’s my opinion that that was on purpose,” Keith agreed.

6. When speaking about other people involved in the situation — seemingly referring to the employee Ned was involved with — the guys sympathized heavily.

“No matter what you do wrong, it’s really hard to say that this is an appropriate punishment,” Keith said. “Everybody think of a time you fucked up. Imagine that you fucked up, because everybody’s fucked up before, and you were number one trending on Twitter and the New York Times was mentioning you and showing pictures of you. That’s really hard.”

7. Without naming names, Zach confirmed that people involved have received death threats as a result of the controversy going public.

“It would be a lot for the strongest person to handle,” Keith added in response.

8. The Try Guys produce a podcast called You Can Sit with Us, and it features Maggie Bustamante (Zach’s fiancé), Becky Habersberger (Keith’s wife), and Ariel Fulmer (Ned’s wife). As you can imagine, this news led many to wonder where the podcast stands, and the guys said that’s currently up in the air.

“At this time, we’re gonna give [Ariel] some time to focus on herself and we’ll let you know if that changes,” Zach said. 

9. According to Zach, the former era of the Try Guys that people have followed since their origins on BuzzFeed (yes, this is very meta) is gone. “I’m going to be frank. That era of the Try Guys is over. It’s not coming back. The four of us are not making videos together. Something new is coming,” he said.

“I’m not saying that it’s going to feel totally different. I’m not saying that it’s not going to feel familiar,” Zach continued. “The reason that you’ve loved us up until this point, you’re going to continue to love us, but we’re also going to grow. And we’re going to use this as a moment to grow.”

10. When asked whether there was a world in which Ned would have been able to return to the business if this news had not gone public, Zach and Keith immediately said no.

“It was a workplace violation,” Zach said. “It would mean to all of the people in our office…they would know that we were, in the face of everything, not being true to who we say we are and our values.”

11. For anyone wondering why Try Guys member Eugene Lee Yang was not present to offer his remarks on their movement forward — well, it’s because he doesn’t like podcasting and won’t be hosting the TryPod in the future.

“To be very candid…Eugene does not like doing podcasts,” Zach said. “We’re going to be rebranding this show either this week or next week. It’s a Zach and Keith show, baby. … That’s the future of this podcast.”

12. Finally, the guys will not be introducing a fourth Try Guy.

“I don’t want to put the pressure on anyone to say ‘this is the new Try Guy and he is the replacement.’ That’s not fair to them,” Zach said.
