REDEMPTION IMMINENT you are going to have to redeem yourself now. Or else this can get lumped into "great fishing story bro." This will be the punchline for a joke that could have been so good. Instead it was told by someone with no sense of timing or humour. This is the part where Danielson goes to Mr Myagi and asks him to teach him... NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER

[@thefuppits]

Geez Matt, we mentioned to you about having fire extinguishers at hand on the rigs, but yah, in the shop too. Yeesh.

[@garychandler4296]

I thought that first sequence was the "Four Stooges Fire Brigade"!

[@lgrgg86]

the cars arent too smashed out, should fix them up and have a derby with the other three, see who has bragging rights you or paul

[@davidhedgman993]

It's all about fun and that's what you had from having family and friends helping and watching to you driving. It was all for fun

[@AFloridaSon]

Rudy had Trevor show up. It was good seeing Trevor.

[@joshuablackmon2044]

Been asking for awhile what happened with Trevor? Haven’t seen him in a while

[@sh-df1bb]

yes It's not the same without Trevor. He was always my favorite 😊

[@soadown5]

Yeah definitely don't enjoy this channel as much since he left

[@_CryptoNoob_]

Yea, I hope we start seeing more of Trevor on Rudy's channel!! He's such a good guy

[@christopherflannery1770]

Least someone keeps him around!

[@ryancoke9]

The way Matt lights up when telling his story and watching him light up like a kid at Christmas when introducing everyone… you can tell he’s in his happy place… semi retired sounds good!! Congrats everyone!!!

[@bryduhbikeguy]

He's the very good example of> "Boy's don't Grow-up,we just age a little"

[@dzzope]

Whoever edited the thrashing sequence.. Great job, simple but so V brilliantly done.. Loved the pickup in tempo with the kicking the grill guard. All your work is showing through so much in everything from the new wrecker for doing jobs better/easier, to the builds, events, fundraisers not to mention the filming, studio work, workshop cameras and as said above, the editing. Love what your doing and building over there.

[@redneckwonderland]

I second this!

[@TRLC]

Yes it was awsome!

[@tpopz_rc]

Was about to comment the same! When the sign tapping got turned to music I was like 😮

[@dennispalmer6007]

I would think, and I don’t know, that hitting on the drivers door could be a dangerous situation . Hitting on the right door I wouldn’t think would be a problem and no one should be offended. If you guys do it again, could you see if you can get Robbie to show a bit more enthusiasm?

[@its_me_JZ]

I wasn't a fan of it at all. I about got sick with all the cuts in the video and nothing seemed to transition very smoothly.

[@rockysquirrel4776]

I wish Gumby the best, and pray that he gets well soon. I lost both my in-laws to staph infections going septic, and I don't wish the same grief on anyone's family and friends.

[@RedRooter0828]

I miss Trevor on the channel as well. Always seemed like a great guy

[@tristinaustinadriannabrown6267]

[@cheeseburger3209]

Trevor was funny

[@RobertKohut]

Extinguishers always must be hung at exits. It ensures you don't get trapped inside fighting the fire. Basically the exit will be at your back after you get the extinguisher... :-)

[@ingluv]

that's good advice. I keep one on my welding cart at all times. It is the most likely cause of a fire in my garage and central to any fabrication happening. I keep one mounted on the passenger floor of the Jeep, right in front of the seat. Easy to grab, but out of the way. I'm going to get a couple more for the doorways of the shop.

[@Jake_Hynds]

What if you need the extinguisher to make it to the exit 😮

[@Fix_It_Again_Tony]

What is interesting to me about decisions like where to place the extinguishers or alarms is there are often events, tragedies, that are learned from to help prevent future tragedies. For instance having the doors in a public place swing outward. It seems like a trivial decision that could be made based on so many factors from the flow of people to the architectural design, but doors swing out so people don't become trapped in a panic situation. Looks like the NFPA code actually says the doors must swing out if it is serving a space where 50 or more people will be. We have the Iroquois Theatre fire to thank for that safety improvement. 602 people died in that single event. Many factors contributed to the high death toll. One was egress doors which needed to be opened inward. Another was difficult to operate latches. This tragedy also helped spur the implementation of panic bars so in an emergency you just push the bar to open the latched door in the outward direction.

[@ingluv]

@@Jake_Hynds feel free to have as many extras you need to feel safe. You could make the same argument for one in every room of the house. Securely mounted, readily accessible, fully charged and in proper working order.

[@RobertKohut]

@@Jake_Hynds In a fire you exit the building. If you can't, you go out a window or fire escape! If a fire is too large to fight you leave...:-)

[@joshuawatson1902]

Would LOVE to see more demolition derby content!! Maybe you could host the next one the way you did the Wrecker Games. You all are learning how to host events, so I say go for it!!!!

[@jeannig7565]

Robby Layton on his recent video said they are thinking about it.

[@bobstratton6362]

I loved every second of it. Bummer that your car didn’t run well but still a great derby.

[@jeffdavis9738]

After Matt tried to blow out the flames (did anyone smell burning hair?) the ‘derby dash’ for a fire extinguisher was on!!!😂😂😂

[@richardthomas1743]

HEY! Good MORRning everyone! Thumbs UP to Matt and Crew! Let the Demo Derby begin! 💥💥🏁🏁

[@DrHavok1]

hah i am glad everyone had fun and nobody really got hurt.... jamie is such a supportive wife she rocks, she knows you are going back out there again lol

[@ronwatson4135]

I'm glad for Robby. I feel sometimes he gets overshadowed by MORR and Fab Rats but he held his own and won in the Demo Derby.

[@chrisstevens7823]

Awesome to see Rudy and Trevor. I think you guys should do more videos like this. The derby was awesome! We look forward to all your videos and hope to visit your guys shop in the fall. Kids absolutely love your videos. Great work to the editing team on the videos you guys don't get enough credit.

[@lonhoschar1943]

Great video!! I loved hearing what was going on and why you were having trouble keeping the car running. I watched the race and I knew 'something' was wrong! .... So.. if you build another car... NO FIRES!!! I'll bet the problem was those melted plastic parts in the carb... those things are USUALLY there for a reason🤣🤣🤣

[@davelowets]

Nah, carbs get torchered with fire all the time. I doubt that the plastic had a whole lot to do with it.

[@proudvirginian]

Matt and Hillbilly fist bump and even Matt's hand looks tiny. Good gracious, that boy has big mitts!!

[@sh-df1bb]

Right!!!😅 But it looks like he's got a nice new set of pearls

[@Rags722]

Re driver side door hits: Back in the early 1960's when we did demo derbies on the east coast, the cars had to be pretty much stock with no structural steel added. Drivers side door hits were frowned upon unless they were unintentional. As far as your participation in this event, I saw a video the day after the event and was let down by your lack of performance. At that time I thought you were playing a "hide and don't get hit" game with only minor contact to keep from being eliminated for no contact. Now that I realize you were actually having engine problems, all I can say is I'm still waiting for you to come ready for the fight and to put on a good show! MAKE IT HAPPEN!

[@paytonruss55]

Robbys a mad man like Merlin. Merlin should have been in there for sure!!

[@DeafRVTraveler]

I love how jamie is so supportive and being part of it. Great job on the race. There’s always next time to get a chance to win.

[@hotrodguy90]

Having personally thrashed together derby cars by myself in a weekend, i fully understand the absolute exhaustion of finally having the car "maybe good enough" and it still wont run. It's absolutely soul crushing. I do find the difference in regional rules very interesting. those cars are way different, the whole cage is built different. our door bars go outside the doors. The absolute calm during the countdown is entirely accurate. As is the distraction of starting the dang engine, its funny how the tunnel vision in such a high stress situation is so hard to ignore.

[@Koi-br1st]

Nice to see how much love is between Jamie and you .Also never realized how much steel went into a derby car to keep it up and running thru all the abuse you occur Cliff ,Please Stay healthy

[@dougmason4773]

Hey Matt, good show!!! I have a good idea for another derby. Have a rematch. But here is the kicker. Make it a powder puff event. You guys build the car and your wives have it drive.

[@darksideharleygirl3691]

You all did a wonderful job so nice to see family and friends help one another we need more of this in todays world.

[@ericarmstrong1973]

With your car running so poorly did you make sure you had enough gas in the tank LOL. Glad you guys had fun and you didn't burn down the car or the shop.

[@RobbieHerrera]

I was never a derby fan but you guys got me hooked! Looking forward to the next one 👊🏽👏🏽

[@wullxz]

I already saw Hollies Video of the derby and noticed Matt not really pushing and wondered if something was wrong. Robby really cleared the field and did some amazing driving! I look forward to your next derby with a working car ;)

[@johngabrenja1772]

I loved his WonderBread fire suit. CLASSY....

[@54raceman]

I don’t think people realize just how high level of national class driver robbie is he’s legitimately one the top drivers/builders in the country he just doesn’t have time to go all over the country running anymore because he’s to busy with the business side of things

[@dustinjm19]

I love the channel. So many youtubers are caving to social popularity and the content is alienating families. I know my young children can watch your channel. Makes me miss the derby days, but it's fun to live vicariously through you all!

[@Swedishchef11]

You should also practice safe welding and cutting... Always cover flammable stuff, always have an extinguisher nearby. Don't block them, always keep them free for access

[@philosophicallyBurnt]

Love the job of taking the sound and turning into a remix

[@ggalland1]

It was an awesome win for team KZbin! Thank you so much for the fun narrative. All you guys did amazing with such a short time to get ready. Thank you for sharing again I greatly appreciate it

[@sh-df1bb]

yes Thanks for the extra time & work that went in to filming and making us a part of the fun

[@davidbenji1]

Really loved your taking us through the play by play with Jaime. I agree with you. On video, the hits don't really look that hard but then seeing your head bounce around, it is probably harder than it looks!

[@darrinstone49]

I'm supprised no one had a desent carb to loan you or putting one on from a parts store. I totally get wanting to have a rig or toys that always perform well without having to wrench on them! I take alot of pride in my bikes, sleds, trucks, trailer... from having all electrical items working to having extra gear & full box of tools. My tunnel bags are crazy heavy with extra gear, goggles & 2 extra pair of gloves. Each sled has servival gear, first aid kits & lightweight shovels. Alot like you guys have done with your wreckers now. The crazy part is how little gear we use to worry about when we're younger & we did what Matt does... ahhh we will figure figure something out. Our emergency pull start straps were always busted & tied together to make a tow strap... I finally started packing a Leatherman. We bought gloves with black liners so no one would notice how greasy they were... sleds have come along ways & we have more funds for safty gear & actual elastic straps for towing. It's a way different world than the 80-90s! The best part is you had a blast with good friends & made new memories!

[@richj120952]

I installed a fire extinguisher in my kitchen the day we moved in to our home, 4 years ago. Your fire reminded me that I had done that, but could not recall exactly where. So, of course I went and looked. (Right on the wall, over the trash can.) Then I also though about the possibility of fire in my kitchen. It was fairly high, as when we moved in we had electric burners on the range. But, I replaced that range with an induction one. No source of ignition exists anymore. I never thought about that when I installed the induction range, but that is a pretty big advantage. Not that there could not be fire from another source but we have reduced the possibility by a lot. In any case, thanks for the reminder that occasionally, we need to remind ourselves of where our emergency response equipment is located and that we need to verify that it is still functional.

[@janiceheld6594]

Love watching all your non recovery adventures as much as the recoveries. Your boys getting involved with all you do is so amazing. What great parents you both are. What's next.....the jet ski adventure?????

I’ve trained countless numbers of people how to use fire extinguishers ant it’s not in common for people to get hung up on getting the pull pin out. I have seen racer’s wave off extinguishers to save their carbs from the dry chem, some garages/shops spend the extra money for a Co2 extinguisher or two to prevent the mess.

By now you should already know that when you are welding you should also have a second person always standing by with a fire extinguisher! If no second person is available at least have a carbon dioxide (good for flammable liquids and electrical fires) fire extinguisher in close proximity!

[@mattfarahsmillionmilelexus]

Surprised Robby's engine didn't lock up with all that smoke, a righteous win for sure.

[@martinw28703]

I would only look at a driver side door hit as personal….everything else is fair game in a derby…..but I’ve never been in one, watched many…would love too one day. 😂😂❤❤

[@sh-df1bb]

I agree only the drivers door would seem personal

[@54raceman]

Yeah it’s not considered personal to hit the passenger side doors just the drivers door. Everyone just knows not to do it because you’re just going hurt your car instead of theres. The biggest thing that has changed while matt has been gone is the cages when matt ran the cages were just good enough to get the job done now days they’re indestructible objects that you’re not gonna damage(heck a train wouldn’t do much to alot of them)

Nice to see both moments in the derby as well as smile it puts on Matt's face to revisit his favorite sport. My first thought seeing the garage fire was 'but of course, he has a Holley carb'. Their finicky float valves, gaskets running below fuel level, are all prone to leak.

[@linuspoindexter106]

I was taught that before trying to pull the pin on an extinguisher, to set it down on the floor. As we saw, if you try to pull the pin while holding the extinguisher off the floor, you will likely be squeezing the handle, making pulling the pin difficult or impossible.

Great job working with what you had. Myself being from CT, it was taught that you did NOT hit somebody ESPECIALLY in the drivers door.

East coaster here. Haven't derbied in more than a few years, but when I did a lot of that cage that you guys use is illegal. No door bars, one piece of tubing (with a max dimension) between the B pillars & that's it. Driver's door hits are illegal, and they paint a white line on the wheels so the judges can watch for braking on door hits. (door hits are kinda legal if you contact while braking). That & "No Imps" are the standard county fair rules. There are derbies around with far less rules, but you'll see the no drivers door rule a lot here. I wonder if BSF would put a team together for a derby? I know I already want to see him show you all up at the Wisconsin Wrecker Games, but man I'd like to see how Eric does as BSF derby crew chief!

[@jeffpickett9730]

Matt, BRO, you need to get HALON fire extinguishers for the shop to pair with the powder extinguishers. The HALON will remove the oxygen around the fire without dumping powder all over the motor. Also the HALON is like an aerosol so you can use it over and over unlike the powder style that need to be refilled no matter how much you use. HALON is so much cleaner and convenient but it is more expensive than powder but no cleanup is priceless.

[@buckwildxp1]

Halon is not a great option. As a respiratory protection specialist at a commercial nuclear power plant I feel it is necessary to say this. I recognize your point, that powder style extinguisher are messy and can leave behind damaging and corrosive residues. However the oxygen removing properties of Halon, in a confined space, are immediately hazardous to life in said space. I'm sorry for sounding like a know it all but people need to be very aware of the hazards of any fire suppression techniques and products. I agree with you on Matt needing a better fire response plan, though! 😂

[@wyomingmobilerepair]

Quick suggestion from a mechanic and volunteer firefighter: halon or CO2 extinguishers work well in shops because they leave no residue on or in the engine. No cleanup whatsoever.

[@docink6175]

when we ran derby and enduro on the east coast back in the 80's every panel was good to hit EXCEPT the drivers door, if they thought you hit the drivers door on purpose the race was red flagged and you were done.. But your derbie is WAY diff than what we did rules wise... you cant lose when your lady supports you.. Jamie ROCKS!

[@marklulow6848]

Run derbies in Eastern Wisconsin, and at all of them, the only door that would get you black flagged was intentionally hitting the driver's door.

[@Gascan26]

At the 15:01 you have the only camera footage to support Paul's claim. TJ is moving right where Paul was aiming and Robbie stopped him putting Robbie where Paul was aimed.

[@NoirCordis]

Great Commentary / Explanation of what was going on .. especially for us Brits who have not seen a derby real time

[@toysoldier46552]

Matt, hopefully, you read this. In the Midwest we don't hit the driver's side door because that's how people get killed in derbies. The rule of thumb is if you hit the driver's side, aim for the front or back of the car, the passenger side since there's no passenger is fair game. You hit the passenger side of the car so I believe you were fine with that hit.

[@rickeygleaton7649]

Matt since you like to build stuff, I think you should find you an all aluminum roll back bed and build a off road roll back.
