On Christmas 2012, Jeffrey took the things a bit far when he pranked Jesse by filming him playing video games on TV and showed it to his father. The rivalry further intensified when Jeffrey broke Jesse’s camera on his 21st birthday.

As a result of this, Jeffrey’s laptop was destroyed by his father, following which Jeffrey went insane and the rivalry between the brothers and their father further intensified.

Their ‘psycho dad’ destroyed the 1,00,000 play button from YouTube and it enraged the brothers, who then destroyed their father’s childhood trophies. This ugly feud ended with Jesse getting banished from the house. Things got further uglier when Jesse was caught getting a few video games from his gaming lair, upon which his father destroyed the lair.
