[@TheLukanda]

The way Matt says Lisbon is HILARIOUS!!!!

Doug is the kind of guy who pretends he didn't already buy a Carrera GT while this was being recorded :)

[@jakejohnson6120]

#truth

[@gurabirierosanopara620]

And now he's pretending to sell his Audi "out of the blue"! What a sneaky sneak!

[@starsaber2002]

Maybe he didn't buy yet when this was recorded

[@Garf2O]

​@@starsaber2002yeah you dont wanna jinx it before you fully secure the bag imao

[@geekofband007]

3 hour pod? Must be a Doug episode. Excited for this one.

[@footlessgecko]

At 2:08:39 Doug said the Porsche Carrera GT was his Dream car. Well today he announced that he bought one, and actually already purchased it before the recording of this episode! Way to keep a secret, and well deserved, Doug.

[@footlessgecko]

"I would give anything ;)"

[@nathanchildress5596]

I slept like 4 hours and I’m still grinding a project out at work, and this MADE MY DAY. Rockstars, every single one of you, what a great podcast

Doug is so awesome on this format. Super cool, relaxed, and open. Really love to see it as always.

It’s usually: THISSSSS is a Porsche Carrera GT, and it’s MYYYYY Carrera GT…

@@andrewhurstcars lol yeah I know, I didn't go that route since he has already made videos about the car so it would make more sense to go straight to it. I really hope we see that video one day.

Doug Demuro on TST Podcast - What it is like for 2 interesting personalities having a random conversation. The absolute perfect background for my work day.

The best thing about this episode is not that it's 3 hours with Doug, but a 3 hour conversation between friends who adore each other

[@sterlinghatton7687]

God I loved this episode. Have been consuming Farah/Doug content since JUNIOR HIGH (2013), so neat to hear variations of conversations I have heard for ages.

[@joshuakhaos4451]

Ive been watching Matts stuff since 07-08 lol. I'd watch his videos before going to school.

3 hours of glorious tst love it, doug is always amazing

[@JoelGraves]

You know you’re mega deep in the KZbin autosphere when you 1: listened to this whole podcast, 2: know who Harry’s Garage is, and 3: absolutely agree with both Doug and Matt when they pay respect to the legend that is Harry!!!

[@dannybbitzz]

Episode 2 of "Lisb-ahn" stories, can't handle how Matt says that

[@robertkennedy9369]

Nothing wrong with everyone that shows up in the podcast, but the conversation between you guys and Doug it's just different and I love it, I could hear you guys talk about random stuff all day.

[@VS666]

3 hours of doug and the crew, perfect start to a day on the road. also, Doug...STOP HITTING THE TABLE!!!!! 😅

Dude I was about to write this. I listen to the podcast while driving and my sub was going nuts lol

Great episode! Here's also a piece of friendly feedback - each times you guys touch the table, it sends a bass wave through the mics.

[@andrewhurstcars]

Nice shout out for Harry’s Garage - it’s a great channel!

[@valensi1988]

I am beyond grateful to this timeline to have given us Doug Demuro.

[@brandonhill6143]

@thesmokingtirepodcast I'm in the insurance business. Definitely have been seeing it a lot mostly since COVID where certain cars have difficulty getting parts. I mostly see it with Hondas, Fords, Kias/Hyundais, and Teslas where parts are on backorder almost indefinitely. From people not wanting to work, to fears of COVID breakouts in shops, to chip issues worldwide, things got really rough on repair processes. It's been getting better little by little I'd say over the last 6 months.

[@ryanehoward]

2:46 this is absolutely true. My wife HATED driving and then we moved to an area with little to no traffic and now she LOVES it so much and always drives.

[@PaulTC97]

I only hate driving in places with lots of speed cameras, not because im going fast all the time or im a reckless driver its just that I hate having to be checking my speedo all the time.

[@joemahan311]

Man this is just such a down to earth conversation. Dreams are indeed made of owning multiple cars and a building to house them. Plus the whole “unobtainium” car market/price hikes.

[@monabaker]

The mics picking up the audio from hands table tapping is BRUTAL.

[@adamfry1125]

Loved this episode!! Thanks for making it longer. Was such a good flow and chat between you guys, could have carried on listening all night! Thanks

[@Youcallthesebagels_]

Came for Doug, stayed because there are no doors.

[@iamrobbieb]

Great to hear about your perspectives on diversifying business as a creator. As a creator manager, we have seen so many creators that the algorithm has crushed and they didn’t take advantage of their platform at the top of their engagement.

Absolutely love the show and this was the best episode in a while, however Zach, please remember to show the screen when you guys are reacting to stuff!

[@TheSmokingTirePodcast]

Sometimes I think I've hit the button and haven't, and vice versa. Also, I can't google as quick as Doug thinks/speaks.

[@bhfootballer26]

I liked the part where they said “look at this!” *gesturing at the screen* ….and then didn’t share the screen with the audience. A+ production work.

[@sharpcheddar2753]

There’s no better way to start my day off than with Doug and Matt

[@zhnkbr]

I was 10 in 2014. I had just got into cars, JDM cars in particular, and I remember, I had watched literally every single video that featured a skyline or a supra or an rx7 on KZbin. And it wasn't even saying much because there really weren't any. I remember i was sooo pumped when matt made that video in NZ with that silver gtr. It was literally the only new video on a r34 gtr untill doug reviewed the bayside blue car. Now literally everyone either has one or atleast has a video on one.

[@anishsomani]

Doug is that kinda guy that makes one listen to his conversation for 3 hours in a single day. Great interview TST

[@mavisky]

Listening to the end of this and Doug talking about buying a Carrera GT only to have found out he bought one a few weeks later is just awesome.

[@comeberza]

e450 is such a dream car where I live that calling it a boring daily driver hurts my soul. I watch only a few car channels and one of them is HARRY'S. The man's life is the DREAM. Knowing Doug watches him is incredibly satisfactory because I've always been a geeky enthusiast too. Harry is putting out the best enthusiast content precisely because he does not need to chase numbers.

[@jtorres8639]

Loved Matt's takes on other topics other than cars on this episode

[@jjunture]

This interview gave me a whole new perspective and insight on Doug as a person. Success couldn’t happen to a better guy and I like him even more than I did three hours ago.

[@RamosDominicano]

I've laughed so much during this episode. I love it when you guys have Doug or Jonny in the studio.

[@Klunderfuss]

When can we get the travel episode, “Doug and Matt on the Road in China”? Just these two driving Chinese and experiencing Chinese culture? I think that’d be a blast.

[@R17759]

I imagine that would be really expensive

[@cyjanek7818]

That is interesting concept, would be expensive but also quirks that their car have would probably be worth it. I dont know how safe it would be for them to record everything though

[@Fifthcell]

2:42:30 I would LOVE if more manufacturers did this. Aftermarket radios have been becoming more and more of a sore thumb in the design department over the past few years after actually having some OEM looking units not even a decade ago. Porsche is making a great choice by offering new infotainment systems for their older models

[@unknownpleasures_nic]

Shout out harry's garage, this Doug guy has great taste (I see every Doug and Harry's vids btw)

The Dakar video was phenomenal. Hoping to see more content like that! Oh and this was also a great conversation 😊

[@hitardo]

33:51 As a Portuguese - that is not your typical car in Portugal, I would say 😀 It is a UMM truck, built in Portugal, using first a Peugeot engine, and then a BMW one - both Diesel. There are a lot of interesting cars built in Portugal But mostly old stuff. There is this UMM, the Portaro (an Aro built in Port-ugal), the Sado (micro-car), and some more. The majority of cars in Portugal are small city-cars, e.g., Fiat 500, Peugeot 208, Renault Clio; station-wagons, e.g., Renault Megane Grandtour, BMW 3-Series, Audi A6; and crossovers, e.g., Renault Captur, Mercedes-Benz GLA, etc...
