In this clip, Eric Kanevsky and Tanner break down the insane origin story behind Scaling Up Catches — a journey that started with bold, borderline-reckless viral pranks and evolved into taking down actual predators. Eric explains how a Russian-gangster character and a one-off collab with Alex Rosen exploded far beyond anything he expected.

Together, they reveal the beef, the grind, the YouTube backlash, and the bizarre chain of events that pushed them from prank culture into full-fledged predator catching.
