[@chuckfowler4754]

Can’t wait. You and Derek are 2 of my favorite to watch

[@codycreason8071]

Gotta get some kind of collaboration with you two on some old "thing"

[@brentkiely657]

excellent! thats what i want.

[@tommorris173]

This is cool, because I watched Trucks when it was on tv in the late 90’s and I watch both of their channels now.

[@sheener3382]

Watching Stacey on tucks and the powerblock on tnn and spiike tv is what made me start loving working on cars. And now I'm a 25 plus year licensed auto tech. Thanks for the great childhood memories.

[@jeffhutchins7048]

TNN car shows in the late '90s is what I lived for. Had the VCR set to tape that 2 hours EVERY SATURDAY. That's when I REALLY got "into" cars. My Dad has made his living in auto/equipment since he was 20 years old so I was ALWAYS somewhat into cars my whole life. Our car when I was a kid (I'm 50 now) was a '63 Fairlane and a '75 Dodge W-100 Club Cab short bed he bought brand new. Later we built and swapped a 440 into it. Then, when I was 14, I bought a '52 Willy's 1 ton 4wd pick up from my maternal Grandpa for $357 and we built that for my first car. Still have it. Then I bought my Dad's '91.5 W-250 Cummins 5 speed from my Dad, that he also bought new to replace the '75. Still have it to. That truck got me INTO cars, mostly trucks, and got me into watching TV car shows. The only reason I bought the Cummins is because it NEVER broke down and got FANFREAKINTASTIC fuel mileage. I started reading 4 wheeling magazines and learned that this truck had ALL OF THE GOOD STUFF! Cummins 12V, HD 5 speed, NP 205, Dana 70 and Dana 60. LOVE both of you guys' content. Been watching Stacy for almost 30 years now!!!

[@TurdBreak]

Seriously my two favorite gear heads.

[@nfldrider]

100%

[@swallowsjeremyy]

Absolute legends right here.

[@jerseyshorefabricators7431]

Stacy is a legend in my mind. Derick is on his way to be a legend. So great to listen to this. Thank you Stacy!

[@gregdcross]

#1. Derek is already a legend. Not just his own Vice Grip Garage channel but Roadworthy Rescue channel and is seen as a star at whatever event he attends. All within 6 years with his own particular style and concentrates specifically on vehicles most would expect to be hauled off to the scrap yard. B. For me, the most interesting bits are when he gets the vehicle just capable of hitting the road then point the grill or what remains of it to home and often times fixing issues as he goes. And #4, he's probably the .ost humble person you'd find on TV or social media.

[@jerseyshorefabricators7431]

@gregdcross Don't get me wrong. I love Kyle, warch vice grip garage, vice grip barn and Roadworthy recues. Watching him work with his kids and wife always makes me smile. It's just Stacy has been doing it longer and in some ways better. 2 craftsman from different trades if you will. Kyle took the roadkill model and expanded on it and in my opinion, made it better. Just watched his Polara video. That was a pretty hardcore 1600 mile trip. Enjoyed every minute of it. Peace brother.

[@Friscorockhead]

Stacey is an OG in the automotive entertainment world. He's a big reason I'm into cars, trucks, and other machines. I loved "Trucks", and I looked forward to it every week. I'm from Michigan and I agree about snowmobiles. A lot of people are completely unaware of how awesome they are. Some of those things absolutely rip.

[@lamerthenlife]

This is gonna be great. Two men of the people.

[@jonmarshallakajonnyo]

I love both of your Shows! I’m 64 and a total Gearhead and both of you are Real as it gets. I still learn a lot from you guys and love anything that has a Motor and Wheels! Keep up the great work and I’m looking forward to Derek’ 3rd season

[@austinrogers9488]

So awesome!! I was hoping this would happen once Derek moved to TN. Kevin Tetz and now Stacey David! EPIC!

[@natevanlandingham1945]

Loved trucks in the 90s!!! And I watch Derek religiously, been following him for years now!

[@gregorybarth930]

Loved the old "Trucks" show haven't seen Stacey David in years. Watch all of VGG Derrick and his family are great.

[@tanco2158]

Two great ones...🤩 This was a fun listen...👍 I appreciate you both...🏆 Thanks...💖

[@OfficialStaceyDavid]

Thanks for listening!

[@ksmith3510]

I watched Stacey as a young kid I waited for every Saturday and Sunday morning to watch. I’m not 36 and use the stuff I learned from the show everyday wrenching on all my stuff

[@jiimmyboy63]

32 now and same... Stacey is an absolute legend and he seems like a genuinely great guy.

[@johnterry-j4e]

Like hearing from derek hes a good guy

[@OfficialStaceyDavid]

It was great having him on the podcast! We'll have to get him back when he's around.

[@cncpaul]

Derek spoke about running snow machines on grass. Where I'm from in Canada they run them on water in the summer. Great episode from two of the greats.

[@WilliamLH720]

Great interview with Derek Bieri. I am a subscriber of his channels and watched most of his videos on KZbin. It is amazing how he drives turd cars so many miles home.

[@natevanlandingham1945]

Had no idea that Stacey had a KZbin page until now. I use to not be able to wait till Saturday in the 90s, now can't wait till Fridays till next VGG episode!

[@gregdcross]

Having watched Stacey for a long time and Derek now since early in his KZbin channel, I've found both of them to be very knowledgeable and pleasant to watch. Passing on tips and experiences. Right now Derek is one of the hardest working, busiest and most entertaining in the auto genre.... or ANY media genre. And his phrases like "ignition sticks" and "wobble pops" just crack me up. He has the rare ability of getting in front of the camera, invite you into his world and you feel he's loke the best buddy you've known for years. And everyone he's met at events or around his hime in TN say the same thing - he's a genuine nice guy. You can see it when he has his boys helping him in the shop. I think at some point Derek might collect as many cars as Jay Leno. They probably might not be able to be shown at Amelia Island, but they all will be survivors.

[@pjh1776]

I watched Stacey a lot back in the day. Cool to see these two on the same podcast. Love VGG and Derek's personality.

[@jamiburns1448]

My two favorite car guys ever.

[@mxerbear24]

Loved hearing that Stacey david laugh again. His laugh in the mischief always used to make me laugh with him on Sunday mornings

[@boltspeedman91]

I met Stacey at the Denver airport years back. Great guy and love the podcast!

[@petterprime4199]

This was great, two of my favorite people got together.

[@krazi77]

I'm surprised the building didn't explode from the awesomeness inside! two of the greatest gearheads ever

[@christors]

would love to see these in video, Stacy mis seeing you every week building things

[@OfficialStaceyDavid]

We're working on a video version of the interview. Check out my channel! It's not every week, but we upload as much as we can.

[@glennramsey917]

Mr Berri is now in the presence of an automotive legend Stacy David has taught me soooo much over the years!!!

[@p9raceway759]

Your fanboying hard on Stacy.

[@scottgalyk8970]

I love watching Derrick and stacey

[@hometowndiy9109]

One thing I really respect about both you guys, is your ability to work on anything mechanical. I’m currently employed in the power equipment business but spent many years in the auto world. The number of guys I meant, that work on say, Toyotas all day long, but are completely lost when a Ford hits their bay is mind blowing. Or the best auto tech in the world, can’t figure out how to change his oil on his lawn mower…. A good mechanic should be able to wrench on almost anything.

[@angelo57a51]

Awesome! Two legends!

[@mattcrawford1748]

Never knew Stacey was from Idaho!! No wonder trucks was the best show out there!

[@bradborgelt60]

I have watched all these shows back in the 90s and 00!!!!!!

[@Twominutedevotions]

YES. I watched Trucks religiously as a teen, and now I never miss a new VGG. I’m so happy Derek is becoming the mechanic celebrity of now. I think y’all should do a vehicle together, from abandoned in a field to full custom build.

[@DaveSteen-ve2tg]

Greetings from Sandpoint! Great show!

[@OfficialStaceyDavid]

Hey, thanks!

[@jamesdowney2077]

That is so cool you get the chance to meet a legend!!!!

[@robertmckinnon7245]

2 of the best watched every episode of trucks with my son,watched every episode of V.G.G with my now adult son, there is one person missing the late great Jesse Combs.

[@derrick_v]

Very cool. Thanks guys

[@blt3479]

Great segment, Stacey! You have inspired a lot of guys to get into hotrodding.

[@kingjames8283]

I've been around cars a lot growing up in the 60s/70s because my dad used to turn wrenches out in the garage and the bug got me. Now I have 40 years under my belt driving semi-trucks and wrenching on big diesels. About 1-1/2 years ago I resigned from my trucking company, packed up and moved down to southern Middle Tennessee just S.W. of Columbia. Got a job driving a dump truck around the Nashville Metro area and on my off time, I'm now working on gas and electric golf carts, and just picked up my first utility vehicle UTV/ATV project rebuilding the high torque electric AC induction motor and the transmission. As I'm closing in on the big 60, I find working on vehicles and golf carts and stuff helps take my mind off every day life problems and issues and strange to say, it's fun to do. As I'm learning, not all guys are mechanically minded and because of that I can make a few bucks on the side. Derek has/had a Caddy he called Betty White which I've been dying to see since I learned about him up in Indianapolis a couple years back. I'm sure he has a lot of old cars I would love.

[@cheeseblast]

Childhood and Adult me are literally freaking out. Amazing crossover.

[@Ron_Lockwood]

Thanks, Stacy for having a Feller on.😎❤️

[@rynosraceroom66]

I used to watch Stacy every weekend . Now I watch Derek & Tony Angelo(StayTuned)🤘🏻🏁

[@timsharkey1993]

Great podcast! I’ve been a fan of VGG for a few years now. The first one I watched was the one where he rescued Betty White and had to drive her home after blowing out the brakes in his pickup. I never laughed so hard at a YT video before.

[@chrishorbatt3504]

It’s funny you started talking about swapping snowmobile engines cause my favorite episode you ever did was that eight wheeled thing that you put the snowmobile engine in

Wow! Over 30k views! Getting that Bieri bump like he's Rogan. I love VGG today and grew up with Stacey on every weekend. 2 absolute hot rod legends!! Great listen. I'd love to see Stacey and Derek do a project together.

[@mattcanfield6384]

Two of the best

[@TwentyWonmile]

I grew up in Montana and when I 'tripped' over one of Derek's episodes a few years back (the forgotten '69 Chevelle) the cadence of his speech and....lets just say his 'smartassery' was VERY familiar. Knew he had to be from out there or spent time, Nodak is close enough 😉

[@GavDetails]

Regarding the leather cleaning question, I suggest Colourlock products. The parent company in Germany deals with leather furniture. Colourlock is certified by Mercedes as their OEM care products.

[@tkskagen]

Stacy David and Derek Bieri should do an "Off the Shelf" O' Reilly video. Stacy was the dude that my Dad and I agreed was the "Car Pimp" back in the day!

[@spankyham9607]

I agree with Stacey. I clean the underside of my cars with the good old fashioned manual car wash. Get that underside and I hit it with the wax after.

[@wastelander89]

2 legends talking. This was awesome .kinda wish there was video not just audio

[@13Dixiefried]

Be nice if you had the video of the conversation, so that we could see the interaction and reactions.

[@OfficialStaceyDavid]

Video version is coming soon.

[@rayvonp]

Now this is a treat my two favorite car guys sitting down and talking would would absolutely love if you guys someday could do something together and maybe even include Kevin

[@gasaxe7945]

Every podcast that starts out talking sleds is gonna be great

[@CoreyKleven]

Sweet love both you guys so awesome 👍🏽

[@adamellis3013]

Love VGG and Roadworthy rescues.

[@larryok8156]

I look at Stacy's career like an athlete. The old guys were the best for sure but never got their payday. They did it for the love of the game. Today's KZbin stars are getting PAID like today's athletes. I really hope this channel works out, he's been the best for decades!

[@oonwing]

True that!! 👍

[@davelewandoski4292]

Watched Truck all the time Gearz is great, but its never on One or two new shows then gone for months Visegrip is a must watch.

I've seen copperhead at Detroit Autorama back in the day next to Jay Leno's buick Rivera

Well a feller can’t believe but I got to because I’m looking right at it

[@DavidNewkirk]

What was Derek's day job?!? Where he had to wear a suit!! Comment your guesses here maybe we can get Derek to answer.

[@douglassaylor44]

Hey, Awesome show With Derek . But would loved to see them both in video playing guitars 🎸 together. And wrench 🔧 on something would be Awesome

[@tommyyazzie7375]

Pt 2? 😳Been wanting to see this line up but differently in my mind

Part 2 is coming in 2 weeks.

I was excited to hear this but 15 mins that’s it ?

[@palomino1970]

Saddle shops are another place to get leather care products. I was told by the local shop to use coconut to conditioner it and NEVER NEVER use animal fat based products to condition like neatsfoot oil ! It eventually eats the stitching

[@seandayma]

Derek has a way of entertaining and engaging with his audience that is difficult to match.

[@beauepperson2641]

The story of Derek this is cool. Funny I have the same story senior account manager by day and grease monkey at home

[@tc410]

Missed opportunity to have Derek respond to those questions.

I did not know that Stacy and Derek were ventriloquists. Their lips never moved .

Am I crazy I feel like Stacey was on a show before he was on trucks..I know he had Gearz after trucks but I feel like he was briefly on something previous to trucks.

[@shawnj6138]

Great podcast, but I was hoping for some guitar talk. I believe it's Derek's hidden talent.

[@Just_JoshE]

Kinda bummed the interview is less than half the video

[@shanewright6958]

👍👍

[@Scott-Tim]

This is amazing… yet it’s not filmed? Rookie mistake! I’ll still listen though. But seriously… I speak for all fans when I say this. Y’all’s expressions is what we enjoy.

[@colsandoz9134]

Did you even say goodbye to Derek ? Way too much questions

[@0tt0z]

😂

[@wiley2068]

I used to love watching Stacey David, and then he started doing promotions for all these manufacturers' products, and the next thing you know, the episode was over. It wasn't any fun watching anymore, we watched to learn something cool, I started watching Stacey when he was doing the show "Trucks !!!" I really hope that Derek doesn't go down that road. Even though Derek has done some promotional stuff, in today's world, you can skip the promotional stuff. Rant over.

[@Squatch242]

29 minutes? That’s disappointing honestly.

[@beauepperson2641]

More like 15 mins the second half was about leather cleaning

[@Gummball_03]

30 minutes? That’s it???

[@jonallen1985]

I think Derek would have been an awesome cohost for you during your days on TRUCKS TV, Mel was good and all but Derek is way funnier.

[@OfficialStaceyDavid]

Derek might have still been in high school back then haha

[@ronandy8681]

I'll be completely transparent here... his first video I ever watched on KZbin. He was very quirky and had nicknames for every gadget or part of a vehicle and it totally turned me off.. maybe I should watch a few more more videos because he is popular?!

[@donmonojam]

Stacey fake laugh is a bit much, but great stories from Derek.

[@enduringhope6859]

I wanted to listen...But, geesh...Derek couldn't finish a complete sentence without you interrupting.

[@rollerdragon]

"audio only"... seriously?? on you tube?? down vote

[@natevanlandingham1945]

Yes weird he didn't post the video, he said he will post the video soon???
