This week will mark a grim milestone that marked the end of the old normal when one earth-shattering announcement changed everything about our world. Because we here at DCBLOG value the four words of us being "The Escape You Deserve," you really don't need to be reminded of what happened on that day in March exactly one year ago. But one of those things to come out of that event was of how so many of you probably had to buy more of than the usual amount of a popular item that is in just about every bathroom, kitchen and bedroom in your house: tissues, paper towels and toilet paper as the word "hoarding" became part of the vocabulary for everyone who goes to the supermarket.

Back in 2019 in our sub-series of Someone You Should Know vignettes of those who the MTV Reality fam get to cross paths with, we shone the spotlight on three YouTube pranksters: Isaiah "Steezy Kane" Shepard, Dylan Polley and Rohan Kohli. In the case of the ladder, he has filmed several videos on both his own channel and with his friends Nicky & Ricky Ireland at Ireland Boys Productions where he and them have spent many overnights trapped inside Walmart stores, a trampoline park and the world's largest McDonald's restaurant outside of Disney World. And if you think that trying to spend a whole day at a theme park or on the Vegas strip as I have many times, then pale that in comparison to having to 12 to 24 hours being inside a well-known corporate establishment or a fun place like those.

The one who got to meet Rohan, Steezy and Dylan when they filmed hilarious videos together when they were in Austin, TX back in 2019 was Cody Dunlap, who we famously saw lay a load on the local water supply on the lone season of MTV's entry into survivalist reality competition shows, Stranded with a Million Dollars. And if you are a fan of Discovery Channel's Naked and Afraid, you probably are familiar with his castmate Makani Nalu, who has been on two seasons of that revealing show since she was part of the final foursome that emerged out of Fiji with $125,000.

Since that lone MTV appearance that spring of 2017, Cody has become a popular figure on TikTok in offering advice on how to make money through door-to-door sales, how to bet on sports as it has become a hot commodity in the past few years, and collecting shoes and Pokemon cards. And he also happens to share something in common with the YouTube prankster trio: he, too, also got to do his own overnight challenge... and he accomplished that feat before he made it onto national television.

Back in fall 2016 -- just as he was adjusting to being back at home after that month's long sojourn to the South Pacific for Stranded, Cody and his younger brother Kaleb went on a hop to a local Walmart store... but not necessarily to pick up those essential goods. The older and younger Dunlap brothers had become fascinated with the popular YouTube trend that was popularized by Rohan and the Ireland Boys in creating and building forts consisting of toilet paper, and decided to spend some time building those while spending some time being embedding themselves beneath the sections that hold that TP and other necessary things that we all need for our daily lives.

And below, the Millionaire and his Brother decide to go hiding in the toilet paper section... and maybe after you watch, could we have found the ideal at-home activity for the family to enjoy in what we hope are the last days and months of this lockdown? This might be it...
