Im sure he has interviewed real celebrities, He probably just felt super awkward and everyone at the office drew straws to see who had to do the interview lol

[@georgedennison3338]

What I meant was this guy likely doesn't know the back story of 'Cleetus McFarlane', the character. If he did, he would have worked it in. The Garrett 'Cleetus' story of a joke turning a frustrated new lawyer into a millionaire via KZbin is honey to media types. Garrett was in 3/4 'Cleetus' character for the imterview. He has slowed it down on the vids we see most of the time. And a lot since the earlier days. And... he's not really 'a celebrity'... A celebrity is someone with a lot more exposure and recognition than 'Cleetus'. He could walk down most streets in the US, and no body would know who he is. He's not even a huge KZbin celeb. What have they got 1.5 million? Think about how many channels have ten time that much... Not bashing them, I like the guys, well I hate the fuckers, actually, 'cause their living a dream I'm too fucking old to do, but the hate's really admiration, encouragement and best wishes they get to live their dreams to the fullest. I was lucky enough to have a taste, or two, when I was young. So, I wanna see them blow up the friggin' world. I bet ya they end up owning Bradenton within 20 years, (the drag strip, not the town!) Combining the two properties in a Disneyland for gear heads...THE ultmate destination resort! later...

[@doozerchuck8625]

I have watched it two times and cannot find the dogs you speak of?

[@toeslider92]

Doozer Chuck 3:32 There is a longer clip of them in the video on Cleetus’s main channel.

[@vortexrage3918]

I have a 1 year old cream colored Golden Retriever (Laci), she would love to out there running with Jeremy's Goldens and Holley.

Cleetus : "It started with a lot of burnouts to put the weeds down" Reporter: Nods, *merica*

[@jonathanbivens76]

“We did a lot of burnouts to get rid of the grass on the track”

[@michaelhawkins3774]

The confident head nod at the start was the best 😂

[@brianjoerges2624]

Do it for Dale!!! Hell yeah brother!! Sick this is going to be off the charts!! Wish i lived closer I'd volunteer my carpenter skills and help for some free tickets!!

[@justincamacho3478]

That was the single greatest news interview I’ve ever laid eyes on...... “Do it for Dale”!!! 😆🤘🏻

[@Prayforthesegainss]

The part where the golf cart goes by doing a wheelie had me laughing my ass off

[@motomadbomber1814]

Florida man buys entire racetrack just to do burnouts.

[@ckrampertracing]

Don’t limit it to burnouts. Allow autox, drifting, car shows and the like.

[@ImTheJoker4u]

For sure. An automotive Mecca for all things auto. Hell they can have lawnmower races in the back 40!!👍

[@ricochetey]

Yeah and demolition derby spectator drags stuff like that. So many tracks are so dry and boring now.

[@ricochetey]

[@triniracerr34]

At the end he was like Ricky Bobby not knowing what to do with his hands..

[@p4nth449]

[@jingles9657]

That went so far over his head an eagle couldn't have flown above it

[@jamesdoughty1522]
