A.J. Befumo addressed a trolling clip during a recent appearance on ConnorEatsPants\u2019s channel.<\/p>\n
The father in the popular \u201cCostco Guys\u201d duo revisited a moment in which he and son Big Justice gave \u201cfive big booms\u201d to a viewer\u2019s supposedly deceased brother.<\/p>\n
Viewers resurfaced the clip and asked him to explain it, and A.J. finally did so on stream.<\/p>\n

In the TikTok clip, he said, \u201cThat thing that we got trolled on with that whole, um,\u201d before the stream cut to the earlier footage: \u201cOh, we\u2019re so sorry to hear about your brother that passed away. He gets five big booms. Boom.\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
The \u201cCostco Guys\u201d are a father-son influencer duo known online as A.J. and Big Justice, A.J.\u2019s son, whose real name is Eric. His nickname is borrowed from his dad\u2019s previous pro wrestling persona, the American Powerchild Eric Justice.<\/p>\n
They built a following in 2024 by making lighthearted TikTok and Instagram videos set in local stores and restaurants, especially Costco. Their content often centers on simple product reviews, chatty walk-throughs, and fun skits.<\/p>\n
Additionally, they released original songs and developed a few recognizable catchphrases, including \u201cWe\u2019re Costco guys\u201d and \u201cMeat! All meat!\u201d and they have been turned into memes.<\/p>\n
What the Boom Meter is and why A.J. spoke out<\/p>\n
The resurfaced clip tied back to an especially viral trend in their content called the \u201cBoom Meter.\u201d In one of their most-watched videos<\/a>, posted on March 8, 2024, they reviewed Costco food court items and rated each one as either a boom or a doom\u2026but all of them earned a boom from the duo. The post reached more than 31 million views and collected over 2.5 million likes, and it shaped how viewers interacted with the pair afterward.<\/p>\n Because of that popularity, users often asked the pair to assign \u201cbooms\u201d to random things, people, and situations. During the ConnorEatsPants interview, the host noted, \u201cYeah, people have been asking about that.\u201d In the slowed-down clip, A.J. and Big Justice repeated: \u201cBoom, boom, boom, boom, boom.\u201d<\/p>\n A.J. responded, \u201cAlright. Yeah. By the way, this is the very first time I\u2019m addressing it. [\u2026] First off, I don\u2019t, I don\u2019t know if that got clipped together or something.\u201d The mood stayed light, and the host even joked about wanting \u201cfive big booms\u201d for his own memorial.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, TikTok commenters supplied the missing context.<\/p>\n One viewer wrote, \u201ciirc the chatter asked if they could give his brother five big booms.\u201d Another added, \u201cIt\u2019s so funny all he has to say was the guy asked for the booms.\u201d<\/p>\n A third joked, \u201cI\u2019d be disappointed if I don\u2019t get 5 big booms after I die.\u201d<\/p>\n The internet is chaotic\u2014but we\u2019ll break it down for you in one daily email.
