Rosenblum and Chaudry started making videos on YouTube since 2012, but they created their current channel in September 2016. Chaudry initially had the idea to create a sports network, eventually creating The Lacrosse Network (TLN) in 2012. Meanwhile, in Boulder, Colorado, Rosenblum was also making videos about lacrosse while simultaneously working at the front desk of a hotel. Chaudry watched some of Rosenblum's videos and was able to convince him to move to Los Angeles to join TLN, originally as a three-month internship. They became friends, however, and built a relationship that caused Rosenblum to move completely to Los Angeles. TLN was bought by the multi-channel network Whistle Sports in June 2014.{{Cite web |last=Spangler |first=Todd |date=2014-06-04 |title=YouTube Sports MCN The Whistle Acquires The Lacrosse Network (Exclusive) |url=https://variety.com/2014/digital/news/youtube-sports-mcn-the-whistle-acquires-the-lacrosse-network-exclusive-1201212278/ |access-date=2025-07-08 |website=Variety |language=en-US |archive-date=April 8, 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250408120746/https://variety.com/2014/digital/news/youtube-sports-mcn-the-whistle-acquires-the-lacrosse-network-exclusive-1201212278/ |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |last=Garber-Paul |first=Elisabeth |date=2022-05-02 |title=Creating Is Lonely.
