Doug Demuro's Christmas - TST Podcast

[@andrewbaskett8581]

I cannot stress, how much I look forward to this every year...

[@luisbarraza9709]

Always One of my favorite pods of the year.

[@andrewbaskett8581]

for the Leno story, another podcast talked with Seinfeld about this and Seinfeld said that is Jay. He said he (Jerry) does the same if he isnt traveling with his wife, staying in normal hotels. He said he got in at 1am that night from something else, didnt have a rental and asked for lunch. Even better, is 2 old ladies saw him fall and thought he looked like Leno but didnt believe it was him, until they walked up to see he is ok. After they checked him out, he asked them to run him to a different place to get a chicken parm sandwich instead of having to sit in a bar with people watching the game. And then at the place getting the Sandwich, the staff said he was bleeding and he walked to CVS to get a eye patch....

[@andrewbaskett8581]

and the best part of this story, is that Leno is wearing the same suit and shirt he was wearing in that viral video of him after the accident wearing the eye patch...

[@mattr8904]

HAPPY DOUGCEMBER!

[@matthewjswider]

@@andrewbaskett8581leno is just a dude. That’s the best part about him. Humanity.

[@lowstrife]

I'm being honest here - if you guys just joined together and did a podcast together, you'd be #1 or #2 in the whole automotive space. These ALREADY do insane numbers, and is everyone's favorite for the whole year. Whatever the x factor it is to energy levels and talking about shit, you guys have it in spades. The chemistry is there. It's absolutely off the fucking rails for the entire 3 hours.

[@DoctorSkillz]

No mate. Once a year is worth the wait.

[@matthewjswider]

Doug won’t do it because he knows Matt would want to do 25 min of ad reads for watches nobody in their audience is going to buy every episode. Greedy idiot.

[@Bob_Smith19]

Matt’s politics would ruin it. You can tell how Doug votes, he alluded to white guilt in this episode. But you don’t know his actual politics. Matt can’t keep a conversation completely about cars during most episodes.

[@matthewjswider]

@@lowstrife Doug knows Matt would fill the episodes with ad reads for watches nobody buys.

[@bigredactionsportsstuff1245]

Matt would ruin Doug’s vibe

[@DaveKootchie]

Unhinged Doug on TST is a yearly favorite!

[@TheJoedinardo]

This is the single best car video on KZbin every year. Just no filters. Love it.

[@HowDoesItKnow]

The snacks that Doug brought this year are far too normal. I want to see him unwrapping like 32 Cadbury Eggs during this pod 😂

[@JustinSeara]

1:18:30 Zach definitely struck a nerve with Matt on that joke hahahah

[@evanwheeler7687]

It was a great joke, too. W Zach.

[@frankgamez-NTFGTCM]

Good. Matt is just too tight

[@Teagss]

@@frankgamez-NTFGTCM It was hilarious and I loved it, but I can also feel for Matt when now he has to spend an extra $25K+ to get his car back together that he loves but can't drive. Like yeah, he can afford it, but it's still a lot of money and his car has been down for a very long time at this point.

[@mattr8904]

THE VALVES ARE USUALLY UNDER THE COVERS... 🤣

[@pr33tu_]

Doug Demure

[@jaioncebollero1168]

Ugh

[@samcraig1204]

The cut at 1:54:18 when talking about Hagerty and Cammisa lol… one can imagine what was cut out

[@eddiefara]

need someone who watched it live to spill the beans

[@Petrospect]

@@eddiefara seconded, live person SPILL Hell, I should probably get in on patreon. The Doug pods are The Best. But seriously, we gots to know!

[@leoqu4129]

In full honesty, you didn't miss much, some one made a comment about recent events related to a company in similar industry to Hagerty. It was 2 seconds. Nothing major.

[@Petrospect]

@@leoqu4129 Thank you!

[@cychosity]

I just realized that Hagerty isn't Hemmings Motor News.

[@LtNduati]

TST Doug is so unhinged and I love it lol. This episode is the highlight of the automotive podcast year imo. I also,love ending, the week, with Doug's "This Car Pod"

[@WillSmidlein]

Was just re-listening to back to Doug eps of the pod last night. Christmas came early!

[@BKetch]

1:01:05 If both the guests are looking at the screen, can you please switch so we can see too?

[@malanne1]

This is like the TOP GEAR of podcast!! Not fair it's once a year! You do this once a week with Hoovie as well and your numbers would go sky high. Amazing guys!

[@certifiedbidry]

2 hour 53 not bad from Doug, can't wait to listen to every second

[@ConfinesStories]

samee, been waiting on this for a while

[@manwhat6915]

Every second * 10 lol

[@megaterminator10001]

Doug and Zack one upping eachother on jokes is hilarious. Also "the valvles are usually under the valve cover" is peak LOOL

[@RileysRocknRacinEnjoynLifeDad]

This is always a great conversation. I look forward to the Doug Demuro episode every year. Please keep the tradition alive forever! I could listen to 3 more hours.

[@soundgardengods]

Doug on TST is my favorite thing about Christmas time. Dougcember babyyy

[@Chris-np5uo]

Genuinly one of the best podcasts this year! Totaly unfiltered and I loved it!

[@mazda_miata_]

I don’t celebrate christmas, but I look forward to every Christmas season for the doug podcast and Dougcember.

[@verdict1163]

A Dougcember to remember. Get down to your local Doug Demuro dealer today.

[@mazda_miata_]

@ don’t tell my local Lexus dealership I’m cheating on them

[@jjunture]

Now it’s officially Doug-cember/Cars and Bidsmas season. It doesn’t start until the TST podcast episode.

[@kyleanderson9281]

I cannot begin to express how relieved I am that Matt, Zach, and Doug are all very down to earth and empathetic people.

[@rjk778855]

You need to get a walk through of that C-Class audio system for a video! That sounds wild.

[@thekernel69]

Imagine if they do it properly and get an freakish ears on a stand to simulate a person sitting inside for the viewer

[@kenniboii192]

​@@thekernel69Dankpods? 😂

[@nyalsewell]

Excellent advice and reflection in those last 7 or so minutes. Thanks Matt, Zach and Doug!

[@leoqu4129]

I have many things written down on my TST podcast bingo chart(if I do have one), that last thing on that list is Zack and Doug gang up on Matt about his Countach😂

[@mchlchristensen]

@@leoqu4129 the valves are usually under the valve cover 😂

[@GMDasLied]

THANK YOU for taking questions at the end! I always love when Doug answers the questions

[@spencerd.3893]

my favorite time of year is the new Doug podcast lol

[@dflan9543]

That was literally the quickest 3 hours ever. Time does fly when you’re having fun. Truly.

[@cozza819]

Thanks gents, I really appreciate the 3 hours.

[@hussali8838]

Thanks for saving the day KZbin has been pretty boring lately this is much needed Matt lol

[@billyjoebeanie4468]

always a good time listening to these lads

[@VanderJam]

Best Christmas present Matt, Doug and Zach can give their fans each year.

[@pamelaramdat8321]

GOING TO WATCH THIS POD 3 times again between now and Christmas

[@adogmcdizzle]

Great to see Dour Demuro on the pod again.

[@vlvt-things]

Yay!!! my favourite guest! Dour Demuro!!! 😃

[@tennisgod3427]

Love this every year!!

[@oldenyoung6481]

The moment we’ve all Been waiting for ! Happy holidays boys.

[@NighteeeeeY]

this is one of my yearly highlights. thanks for the 3h of entertainment. i appreciate you three. merry christmas!

[@brendendas]

TST and Doug combo is brilliant.

[@beno.9952]

Hearing Doug curse is the best thing on these yearly pods

[@MD-vk3bj]

Fun fact, I was talking with Lucid Canada today and they have exactly one Lucid Sapphire which they have brought over into Canada. It’s currently for sale for somewhere over $300,000.

[@Rev.Match.Reviews]

Doug is a professional button pusher and with Zach there its just great 😂

[@mattr8904]

HAPPY DOUGCEMBER!

[@toxikneedle]

Dour Demuro name tag at the beginning of podcast is hilarious

[@dylanfgarrison]

I watch TST once a year, when Doug is on :-).

[@ur4ufuerufhjehjbedjh]

The one takes were awesome.

[@PointShiftDrive]

Thanks Matt for always being a genuine person. Doug, you are always interesting to listen to.

[@justyngarcia5667]

Why is Doug the best guest

[@keithman5000]

So happy this tradition continues on!

[@ThaBrain22]

The best show of the year has returned

[@yousmoketrim135i]

One of my favorite KZbin annual traditions.

[@rvne3959]

I was just thinking recently this podcast must be coming up. Always great.

[@grunkohlaktionar7474]

2:22:05 The Caprice also got my attention 😂

[@stephenr1369]

Another great one with Doug. Happy holiday all!

[@JimPakeman]

This is my fav podcast of the year following both of you

[@sanatana1]

That part about shorts not leading to views on podcasts is so true. The amount of popular shorts I see that are from podcasts that have 20k views is insane.

[@doxydoxdelamanca9902]

One of the best shows.

[@Matness23]

Look forward to this podcast yearly, Merry Christmas! And Doug owns an auction website, he will be another car.

[@russellstevens2222]

Not sure if this is the case for other people but as ive gotten older what i consider a dream/ aspirational car has changed. As ive gotten older ive realised that a £200k plus car is beyind aspirational for me. So my interest has moved to cheaper and used cars.

[@coolmanfoo2407]

Absolutely. At the beginning of 2024 I was focusing on purchasing a Lotus Emira. I deemed that too expensive. Then I moved onto a CT-4 Blackwing (Which to be honest I cant get out of my head) and while half the price of the lotus I also ended up deeming that "too expensive". So what am I on now? A stock NB miata lmao. theres something about an 8k sports car that I can beat up and not care that makes it SO appealing.

[@margienicholas699]

always look forward to this episode

[@slippyscout1]

This has become my favorite Christmas tradition

[@jaykruze06]

3 hours, still want more. So good.

[@gt3sam193]

i wait every year for this and it never disappoints.

[@jhref]

I thought the comments on this where hyperbolising about how good it was. Then I hit the hour mark.... Holy hell way to go guys!

[@NAJMFAN]

Man I fucking love Doug!! Always a great pod

[@technicallytrying]

Thank you for saving my commute today

[@toddr3093]

Yessir this is the one we’ve been waiting for. Doug is a real OG. Bow down 🙇

[@DadDrivesBad]

Poignant conversation, filled with laughs, that ends with a surprisingly heavy and real outlook. I really appreciate this weeks episode. Thanks guys.

[@Butterbean32]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO My favourite Xmas tradition

[@denizunal8925]

this is gold

[@victorydiaz11]

I appreciate the equal camera framing on this

[@MyCatW3ll]

Thank you for this

[@zyha583]

Thanks!

[@edwardbourke4328]

thanks lads. best podcast of the year.

[@KrisBaca]

Best car-guy BS session you'll hear this year

[@bfavalora]

This is so good. Would pay good money to get this combo every week.

[@austinraymiller]

When is the next cars and coffee at Westside? Maybe a toy drive in the future ? Tis the season🎄…. They are always on Saturdays too, I wished someone would try a Sunday. Great episode as always fellas and happy holidays.

[@dylanpierce_]

Bring back One Take. It's good, it's interesting, and it's valuable for enthusiasts. If you don't like doing it, don't complain about less revenue. One Take's are great and need a return!

[@victorydiaz11]

I think he said he is glad it’s lowkey over because he never got in an accident or bad accident in another person’s car. He was freeballin insurance wise for the most part on driving other people’s cars especially if it was spirited in anyway. This is an assumption but I’m sure accidents have gone up in California alongside insurance 😅

[@fraserwright9482]

Yes I think even Mr Ticket only goes so far given they are videoing it and if they mess up and hit someone the lawyer would lean on their history of treating Angela's forest like their own race track. Did they get permits etc and nothing makes a judge angrier if you think you are above the law.

[@NavGTI]

2:16:50 it's crazy to me that knowing this, an S/T spec just appeared that's just all black with custom sills that say 'Live Laugh Love' and 'Your Mom'.

[@flech3025]

If car tech is so terrible now how bad is the tech in these current cars going to be in 10 years when it is no longer getting updates?

[@Bob_Smith19]

It will be complete shit and every enthusiast and car manufacturer is aware of it. It’s the common consumer that isn’t thinking ahead that’s blind to it which is why the manufacturers can get away w/ selling it.

[@Tyrael112]

And no mention of Carlos Lago?! Get him on here!

[@StefanoMaggio]

This episode was by far my absolute favorite. Touched on a lot of things, especially on the more human side of things. Only critic, as a watch guy, Mat if the speedy is good enough for Apollo 14 to get back to earth, it's good enough to time Doug ehehe. Great stuff today guys

[@Greg-TC]

dour demuro baby

[@MikesLARE]

Was a great episode. 🤙🏽

[@Ty280z]

Another comment praising the yearly Doug episode. I think Doug Demuro misses his door was my first tst podcast and I've seen every episode since

[@woody831]

The Doug love for Stradman is real. Love it. #viewsonviews

Full ticket challenge is available on Robs channel now

Doug MaDuro is my favorite venezuelan car youtuber

[@biglee13m]

It's 1 AM here... thanks... i don't have to wake up early

[@rayforgas7091]

Matt, you mentioned that The Smoking Tire Podcast took a beating recently. I'm sad to hear that. That said being more relatable(Doug as well) couldn't hurt. Though all auto maniacs appreciate your commentary and insight into cars and car culture is fantastic. It feels like there is a if you aren't in LA or any other large metropolitan area then screw off sort of mentality. That may be a biased opinion from fly over country. But that is what I heard during the most recent podcast with Doug. Regardless I and many others appreciate your love for automobiles and your transparency in reviews. Thank you and have a nice day.

[@EspenX]

I am just 15 minutes in and I all ready love how Doug is talking and treating both of them as equal hosts. It might be just me being Norwegian and therefore genetically programmed against hierarchy and treating people different based on positions or fame.

[@G55STEYR]

Most fun thing I watched latley was the Tony Angelo shootout between a 5.3LS 911 and a GT3

[@kylekloewer951]

Wow surprising 208 turbo mention. I’m actually working on one of those. It’s pretty cool

[@sz-4b0B9I]

Oh look, it's Doug's evil twin, Dour DeMuro!

[@ericcarabetta1161]

You can tell the difference between Doug and Dour, because Dour has a beard. 🧔🏻‍♂️

[@TheMadman5000]

Dour demuro love that guy

[@jackham2549]

I jeep with my kids. Once their necks are strong enough to hold their heads up they're jeeping, camping and hiking or being carried when we hike. I have photos of my twins in bassinets in a NF primitive camp spot. But I often hear people say things like when their kid is older they'll take them camping

[@Bob_Smith19]

This is what’s up. My kids were in a carrier on my back as soon as they could hold their head up like you said. They’re the only ones in their age group that like to do things outside.

[@markthibault8579]

Delightful.

[@deeron]

Firing up Assetto Corsa canyons and listening to this in one sitting!

[@Illopp00ify]

They did just run the Carrera GT on the Nurburgring again with the refreshed tires and suspension to great effect.

[@truthserum5310]

Cool you guys had (Dour) on the show again.
