If Shmee was told to only say positive things about the brand from here on... That would have been GM and the car would have been a Corvette. Because that fits 100%

[@SNAFU..]

Timothy was consumed with jealousy and envy for DDE's continuing growth and success...That's why he did what he did...Fact!

[@JohnHyland2]

Brilliant! I’ve watched Tim from the begging and I’ve always wanted someone to sit him down and ask these questions. Really great questions and editing of the answers etc.

[@LoociferZ]

Know what sucks? What sucks is when someone has 3 or 4 months to get his story straight...a story that is never going to change....straight. There is a complete set of rules and regulations regarding the sponsor stickers. There is no confusion, complexity, duplexity, or even triplicity. What does this mean? It means that Shmee is lying. He's lying about how he never got the stickers, he's lying about his cars going to a different city before the race and yada yada yada. The FULL sticker packs were provided to him. HE and HE only chose to put HIS OWN sticker over the sticker of one of his perceived KZbin competition in the "Daily Car Video" segment. There can't be a mistake because every other sticker BUT DDE's sticker got in its place. The only difference? A Shmee150 sticker was provided for him in the place where the DDE sponsor sticker was provided, along with where it was to be positioned. The true story is so simple to prove that it's just stupid that he's STILL trying to lie. A full sticker pack is on his car, except for DDE, with Shmee150 taking up the DDE spot. It should be mentioned that DDE paid $500,000 for that sticker to be on his car versus the $30,000 grand Shmee paid to drive his car in the Gumball3000. $500,000 gets you a sticker on a car. $30,000 and your own sticker makes you a lying sack of crap because every other sticker was placed perfectly...other than the DDE one (that got replaced by a childish man who was upset that DDE was going to be on his car despite paying for that right). The sticker packs are provided to every driver. They contain ALL of the stickers and where they're supposed to be placed. It's months later and HE'S STILL TRYING TO LIE ABOUT IT! Cancel Culture? Thank GOD there is a cancel culture because what he did was pull a dbag move but WORSE he lied about it at the race. But WORSE of ALL? He hasn't stopped lying, he's still trying to make like what he did was a mistake when it so clearly was not and he's refusing to acknowledge that he screwed up (like 10 times now after all of the lying and cheating he's done. Just by the fact of his words in your video proves that he still hasn't learned his freeking lesson yet. Perhaps he NEEDS to be totally cancelled? Would he admit to lying and cheating nonstop for months then? Is there any way of him redeeming himself?? OH! Just so we provide facts when they are needed> From the Gumball site... *19.

I think this talk with Ben has been a really good insight and understanding behind the DDE situation and great to hear Tim’s side and where Tim admits there was a misunderstanding on his side and there were things that DDE may have done wrong also which just proves people are human and not everything goes right but it’s how people deal with the situation after the fact is where you see the real person or people

I'm sorry, but during that year's Gumbal, Shmee purposely cut off DDE's car on every upload, and he uploads earlier than DDE. He keeps saying that everything blew up after the rally, but he was already showing subtle diss against DDE even before the rally started. DDE even announced they were sponsors of Gumball before the rally started so i don't see why he was confused about the sponsorship stickers

[@user-zs5of5en5o]

Shmee is just wrong. The only way he'll apologize is if he looses enough subscribers. It was classic jealousy. DDE came to Europe and make Shmee irrelevant in Gumball, in his own back yard. Shmee felt a certain kind of way about it. Before that point, ppl were screaming Shmee on Gumball Rallys. Instead of taking note, he chose to give into his jealousy and took off the stickers. If I paid north of six figures to sponsor Gumball, and you took of my logo off your car, I would snub you too, and deal with it after the rally like Damon did. Shmee is a meticulous guy. He can't expect us to believe that he didn't know. He is full of it. I stopped watching Shmee. I just can't support this kind of action from an individual, even if the content is good. That's just me. GenX don't play that ish, ask milly vinilly.

Is he jealous? Really? Look at DDE’s fanbase. It’s entirely comprised of children who are too young to drive. I don’t think they even have a single functional car either. Compare their garages. Tim has one of the best garages on KZbin. DDE has a bunch of leased cars that don’t even run and occasionally get repossessed. The only people jealous of DDE are the children who watch them, any adult that isn’t delivering pizza for dominos would understand that they’re in debt up to their eyeballs.

[@socaltrailtrekkers1965]

On the same day as DDEs video recording, I remember seeing Shmee’s video of him trying to record over Damon’s revving the SVJ in the back and Shmee saying how obnoxious that was. It’s like he was annoyed by Damon.

[@ayjaylo1583]

Schmee is a clown. He knew exactly what he was doing. He was simply embarrassed that he wasn’t willing to put up the money, and/or have the intelligence to recognize the brand marketing opportunity that being a sponsor of Gumball would provide. Damon beat him to the punch and like an entitled child, he threw a fit and wouldn’t put their brand on his car. Gumball doesnt make mistakes like putting random stickers in every single team’s livery pack. And I’m certain that if he was going around asking as much as he claims he was, everyone at Gumball knew DDE was an official sponsor. DDE has brought more attention to Gumball3000 than ever before. Schmee is a sore loser.

[@deyontalattimore736]

You believe the guys that fabricated a LIE about being removed from the old headquarters over a guy who isn’t here for Drama but to share the passion for cars is wild. If DDE were never called out about lying they would have never apologized for it. Man to man you have a problem with me, we can be civilized and talk about it and move on.

I've met Tim a few times now and he's been absolutely fine. People forget that he's also a human being and wants space when out and about doing his own stuff or things that don't necessarily affect the channel. If you're angry at him that he didn't speak to you because he was busy doing videos, maybe think that's because he's working? He's doing what he's getting paid to do, and what he loves. And everyone saying he's wrong and could've put the stickers on, but then so could DDE with the two sponsors they didn't put on? Even Tim said that, they're in the wrong too then for not putting sponsor stickers on their cars. I wouldn't stick another youtubers stickers on my car if they weren't an official sponsor(dodgy sponsor if even gumball couldn't answer themselves) especially if that one youtuber is missing official stickers too.

The odd part is, what did gumball say about the removal of a sponsor?

[@luccimryoutube]

DDE discussion starts at 50 minutes ✔️

[@_SHANE_]

Schmee is a pompuos ass. EVERY drive team is given the same marketing vinyl to put on their vehicles. The " I thought we all was able to put our own .." Is complete bs. So every other driver decided to put DDE and not their own if they knew they had a choice ( according to Schmee ) ? They even announced the sponsors.. DDE being one of those SPONSORS .

[@justinAtkinson-f2o]

If you were a KZbin influencer, you wouldn't promote another channel without cause. Tim, as he explained, was not given an answer. Don't call someone an a** without researching the truth.

[@justinAtkinson-f2o]

Also, they were announced as sponsors after the stickers had been put on the car. Go back and watch Tim's videos then look at the DDE x Gumball sponsor reveal timeline. Do your research!

[@_SHANE_]

@@justinAtkinson-f2o Good Lord.. So you're saying he has absolutely no critical thinking skills? " I wonder why our sponsor package has DDE in it " ? Every year they are given a sponsor package that comes with ALL the vinyls for the sponsors that the cars are required to put on. It's not a coincidence that each sponsor has a particular spot. Maybe Shmee can play on the next Back To The Future and play Marty McFly .. " Think McFly, Think "

[@justinAtkinson-f2o]

@_SHANE_ I think that DDE overreacted over Stickers, really were all fighting over stickers! But why isn't anyone getting mad at Gumball for not answering Tim. If you remember the US Gumbal TFX or TX something like that turned out to be a scmamming organization, then if you remember they were giving the opportunity to remove stickers as they please ( yes this was a different circumstance) but they were givin the right to remove the stickers. Even if Tim took them off ( he clearly didn't) he after paying over 100k to be involved in the rally alone, he should have the right to remove them. Why would someone who pays 100k for something get into trouble for taking off stickers. Just Flippin Stickers!!!!

[@justinAtkinson-f2o]

@_SHANE_ I will admit Tim should've said something way earlier on, and really cracked down on dde for it. And resolved it or just fixed the problem.

This was one of the most insightful podcasts of a person I’ve watched, I’ve watched Shmee150 for a decade but have had longish periods where I haven’t watched his videos. But hearing him speak rawly, and being ‘Tim’, makes me want to go watch more videos now.

[@SVPSkins]

People going off on Tim saying "he handled the situation badly" sorry No! No! No!, DDE are who handled it badly, creating and posting a video to begin with that caused the drama (which DDE knew it would) instead of talking and keeping it behind closed doors like mature adults, then t6here the fact they clearly stated it wouldn't get posted, just shows how two faced DDE are and the fact they carried on for weeks talking about it (again knowing it would continue the drama) and Tim never said a thing about it to the level of DDE and some how Tim's the one who's handled it badly?

[@ChimsThoughts]

they handled it badly? they payed lots of money to be sponsers and having some english twat not adhere to the gumball sponsers is downright dirty and he deserves any and all backlash coming from it

[@jetset8888]

I call BS - he knew exactly what he was doing. But now is living his decision - he’s not been on gumball since - also his relationship with JWW and Max has been ruined let alone with DDE. He’s a joke and lost all respect in the car world.

[@MegaSturrup]

I like the DDE guys content but as a personality I think they can be quite nauseating. Especially when they fake things and treat the audience like we are silly. Lately I havent gelled with tims CONTENT but I can tell he is a far better person than Damon

[@BarbaricAvatar]

I love the fact that Tim explains the complete non-issue of the DDE stickers: If no one can tell him directly that they're a sponsor of the rally then why should he put them on? And then Ben asks 3 more questions on the subject! Why is this such a big deal to people?

[@JordieMotive]

To this day, Tim is still one of my top 3 content creators on the entire platform. I've always liked how real and passionate he is, and I highly respect his work ethic. I've met him multiple times and very briefly driven multiple cars of his collection due to working at a place where he'd frequently visit, and had great conversations with him off camera.

[@RichardRatner.1972]

Great video, everyone hating on things that have NOTHING to do with them! Lol Tim has always been friendly & informative as have DDE. Kindest regards, Richard U.K

I stopped watching DDE after that video about the stickers. Say what you like about Tim but he is clearly an honest guy. I have met several automotive KZbinrs who have all spoken highly of him and the whole DDE aspect of creating drama etc is just crappy videos for clicks. DDE videos don't always come across as honest and sincere and feel like they lie a lot to their viewers.

[@robertdouglas5926]

Probably the best interview yet Ben, keep up the good work! I cannot get over the small minded comments here, none of those being awful were either with SHMee or DDE when it happened. They also obviously haven’t listened to the whole podcast and just want to be just nasty. You tube is entertainment, I like some of Tim’s stuff but dislike other video’s. It is the same with DDE and even some of Ben’s podcasts! I just wish people would realise this.

[@Bandit_Miranda]

I've been following shmee since the mp4-12c days. I was attracted to how genuine and real he was in his videos and how he gets as excited to go these amazing adventures as I would. I met him briefly at SEMA last year and took a photo with him. I walked around SEMA for a few hours, and he was still standing in the same place talking to fans. I even sent him a DM on Instagram to see where I could go see the Zenvo and he responded and told me. I'm in the US and i find myself more interested in the UK channels like Shmee, Mat, and more recently I've been enjoying to a lot of your podcasts. I am totally jealous hearing about the times you guys have been at the pub having a chat. Keep up the great work, guys!

[@cotswoldcarphotographer]

That is nice to hear, I've messaged Shmee a lot through Instagram and 90% of those messages he got back to me. Not many other youtubers i’ve reached out to on Instagram get back to me which really shows to me Tim is very genuine and really interacts with his viewers.

[@ThEASbO]

I used to be a huge fan of smee. But after the gumball incident I looked up other's videos of him being rude and was overwhelmed by the number of evidence that he is pompous and feels like he is better than everyone else.

Any other video this long, I would have never watched. I started watching Shmee 150 with the Ford Mustang GT500 which I loved. Big thank you for introducing who Shmee 150 really is when where Tim came from. What an amazing life and the career is so much more for us car lovers getting an honest perspective of each of those cars. Would be an absolute honour to meet Tim and visit The Garage. Greetings from Cape Town

[@MCBManana]

Spot-on, you nailed it dead on the head...the level of Tim's precise numeracy (analytical memory) is absolutely amazing! To be honest, that's the ONLY reason I follow him. I find the amount of statistical accuracy, granular details passed off as "infotainment" simple to consume/effortless to understand...simply BRILLIANT! 💯💯👌

[@stevee8920]

I find it amusing, that people are claiming Shmee is still whining about it now. Shmee has never mentioned it since. This was an interview where Ben asked him the question, Shmee didn’t bring it up. Ben asked. An interviewer is there to ask these questions, as he should but let’s not suggest Shmee still has issues with it. He never put a video out, he left it, but if he’s asked the question then if he had said I don’t want to talk about it. Everyone would have jumped on that

[@ilukatube1972]

Would be interesting to hear from Gumball organisers. It would clear things up definitively.

[@cotswoldcarphotographer]

In my view of the controversy is that DDE when they made that video, they confronted Shmee which basically fueled the fire. This is coming from me, a neutral viewer that watches both shmee and DDE. but I really feel like DDE really handled this incorrectly as Tim just left it and did not say anything to DDE where as DDE straight up confronted him and pushing a camera in Tim‘s face purely for views which I think is completely unacceptable and makes Damon and Dave look childish. Tim even wanted to settle it with them as he said in this podcast that he said off camera to DDE about making some content together which they completely ignored, which is just such a shame and gives DDE a bad name in my eyes.

You are probably the only sensible person in this comment section fr

[@Robicalable]

Some good sense here, but some bad take as well. I find it just dumb to find the camera excuse plausible. Both sides are on the youtube game, don't project and think they don't know the rules, how it works. They have both their own recipe, but still very well know how it works. You have no right as a youtuber to be surprised and not knowing how to react to a camera brought to your face, that's your own game. Also, we can elaborate all we want about further events, but if Schmee just said "I didn't know, let me do it" or "I don't know, let me confirm that real quick". Then all of this vanishes. And that's what any genuine normal person would have done. Anything after that, doesn't matter : Not knowing, but not wanting to check. Not knowing and turning a blind eye. Straight up not wanting. Staight up not wanting and proposing some shady trade. Doesn't matter which one it is. Schmee put himself above the rally rules, and cannot admit his mistake. All the noise around that, is complaining about youtube game, between 2 youtubers. Just silly in my honest opinion. Blame the game, not the players.

[@EugeneZonda]

I've been watching this epic vid for a few days. I just watched the bit about Tim's birthday week and the F1 GTR. I get his view of what's next. I'd suggest using your experience, Tim, to compare our experience with most likely the most advanced recent car, as in the F1 GTR, with new models coming out. Looking at the evolution of supercars from the driver's experience. Only you would have that ability, Tim. As a result, I see you being responsible for providing clarity to the driver community, and your opinion is highly relevant. Those who genuinely appreciate and respect cars need your voice and opinion. I drove a Lamborghini Espada and a Mura back in the '70s. I then moved the Diablo in the 90's. I immediately noted the lineage and connection. I then drove the Adventador and didn't get the same feeling. Love your work.

Been following Tim since the early years, because that's the only way you can see an exotic car out in the wild back then, and its humble to see how someone with a similar background as I in education (maths/physics ... love for analytics) as evolved into what Smee150 is today. As for Ben, I've been following for over a year now and keep up the good work!

[@gixxnrocket]

Enjoy DDE content and I do remember GB sticker quips but it never made me think anything less of Shmee150. Chin up bro and carry on. I doubt they'd have any hard feelings off-camera with you or your channel personality. It's frustrating to have a have a REAL discussion with anyone that lives through the lens of a camera and have it turned on.

The question is: if he “had” to have the DDE stickers on his car before he signed up for the rally… would he have done the rally?… no way, and I would have understood… DDE is nothing compared to SHMEE. DDE is beyond the springer of auto KZbin.. but, it has its place.

[@stevee8920]

Fantastic interview, Tim was very honest yet dignified, he answered all the questions and didn’t skirt around the DDE incident, but also didn’t bad mouth them, you knew it upset him and he was very clear that it was unfair but also left it there. Genuine guy and good to see the real man behind Shmee. Obviously very intelligent and articulate and an astute business man, really enjoyed it and for a 2 hour plus video it didn’t feel long.

It’s not worth arguing over stickers, if that’s genuinely the issue here.

Ben- kudos to you for this long form video podcast. I thought you asked a number of thoughtful questions. As a result, I think I understand Tim Burton and Shmee 150 a lot better. I didn't realize how important it is to Tim to keep the Shmee150 persona separate from his personal life. At least for me, it was easy to form an opinion of Tim as this guy with a privileged upbringing, boarding school education who jets around the world with his supercars and considers himself a bit better than everyone. After Ben's pod, I realize he's an incredibly hard working guy. Every car movement, event participation, car purchase is supported by an analysis that the activity will pay for itself with YT revenue. He's feeling the responsibility now of having a staff that flies on his enterprise for their livelihoods. I could care less about the DDE sticker thing. Tim's explanation was too long winded and didn't clarify things much.

First of all, why would you call Gumball regarding the DDE sticker in the first place? Why not just put it on your cars like all the other? Unless you did not want to put it on in the first place ;) At the latest, if you are in good faith, you put them on when you find out on the rally start, that DDE is the sponsor and all the other teams had the DDE sticker on, at that point there is nothing to misunderstand IMO! You clearly stated in the DDE video " I didn't want to put my competitor on the car." - tired or not that was an honest response, stick to it. It is fair that you did not want DDE on your cars, admit it and move on. Whatever you guys had agreed upon we don't know, we "act" on the information we know, but as far as it seems for me, you are in the fault - not DDE, speaking in a negative manner about DDE in the comments, they have not - as a sponsor they are IMO in their own right to confront you no matter how you choose to look at it + you did not wear any Gumball official merchandise on the rally either, so it is not only about the stickers - I don't understand your actions Tim, I really don't, it was totally unnecessary drama from your side, even if they even where your competitor, that is not the way to handle it...

Devils Advocate here - If you are given a "Sponsors Sticker Pack" and it contains the stickers for DDE, then why do you feel the need to question it? Clearly they are then a sponsor as their stickers are in your "sponsor sticker pack" - Did you only question it because they are a "competing" channel? It just seems very much backhanded, saying "I asked and they didn't know" - Doesn't seem to matter, it was in the official Gumball Sponsor Pack - You should have put it on the car regardless as I would imagine that part of the T's&C's of entering the Gumball is that you agree to have all sponsor stickers on your cars?
