Biography
The twins were born and raised in Martinsville, Virginia and attended Fieldale-Collinsville High School where they graduated in 1992. They enlisted in the Marine Corps and by 2013 they had over half a million subscribers on YouTube.[11]
Their cousins' pair of children were both shot, so they used their social media presence to raise money for their medical expenses.[12]
Both have been married to their current wives for over 15 years, and lived in Los Angeles for 17 years.[13] They currently reside in Las Vegas.
Fitness
The Hodge twins are certified International Sports Sciences Association trainers and appeared on the front page of Train magazine.[14][15] They were guests on comedy podcast The Fighter and the Kid.[16] CheatSheet rated them as the 4th best fitness YouTube channel.[17]
Comedy
They have toured the UK[18][19] and Australia.[20] Their No Filter tour took place in 2016.[13]
Conservative commentators
The Hodge twins are vocal conservatives, and have over three million subscribers on their Conservative Twins YouTube channel. The twins are Donald Trump supporters, and appeared on Trump's Real News Update webcast.[21] They oppose the Black Lives Matter political and social movement.[22]
Two of the most shared Facebook posts about the George Floyd protests originated from the Hodge twins.[23] They are frequent guests on conservative comedian Steven Crowder's various programs.[23]
Some claims the twins have made about Joe Biden and Black Lives Matter have been deemed as false by fact-checkers.[24][25] A venue canceled one of their shows after the Hodgetwins posted a video to their YouTube account making fun of a transgender woman. The venue owner stated that the reason for the cancellation was because "[they] don't tolerate transphobia."[26]
StopAntisemitism, a watchdog organization, has criticized the Hodgetwins for promoting hatred towards Jews.[27]
