“It’s a suicide run, it’s for the gram, it’s for the greater good of comedy.” These are the words of Michael, one half of the Aussie comedy duo and YouTube internet sensation Marty and Michael Fully Actually.

What is the suicide run, you ask? It’s public pranks and painful social experiments, it’s getting dart gunned in the ankle, eating a tarantula, exposing yourself to stinging nettles, and farting into a megaphone.

Pain is the price you pay for being your own boss, and these two pranksters open up to Sam in this epically entertaining episode of Make Sh*t Happen about how, if it weren’t for going all in with their crazy ideas, they’d be homeless junkies by now.

The method to the madness is unpacked by Marty and Michael as Sam quizzes

on what makes them tick, how their partners react, and all the behind-the-scenes stuff that makes their subscription website (University of Marcheal) keep ticking over as they make money doing what they love. And what gives them pain! Stick around for the ending too… ’Nuff said!

“Mum never watches any of our sh*t! I wouldn’t let her anyway.” ~ Marty
