Matt Baker Challenged Me To A Shooting Contest!
Among outdoors and homesteading channels close to his size, Trent Ellis lands right in the middle: seventh of nine by subscribers, fifth by views added over the seven days. TN Gardening and Fahim skills had the loud weeks. His was steadier, and the place it gets interesting is a backyard shooting match.
"Matt Baker Challenged Me To A Shooting Contest!" pairs the Mississippi dad with Matt Baker, the comedian behind Snuff Cup and its Southern skits. The description calls the contest "technical" and admits it may not have settled anything. Viewers do not seem to mind who won. The comment section is mostly a chorus asking for more videos together, plus a running thread of fellow Marines and Army veterans teasing Trent over the push-ups he owed, and one viewer reminding everyone he was Motor T.
Three more uploads followed: a short, a Saturday of college football and guns, and, on Tuesday, a long-running test of how many hours a Toyota pickup will stay on, with "other stuff" promised alongside. Seven hours in, that truck video was already the busiest thing on the channel, while a September short called "It's got a good weight to it" kept drawing a steady crowd past a million views.
The overall pace ran a bit slower than usual, and about 2,000 new subscribers came in anyway.
