Up to speed on James' dad: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKiafWSlia2Zf9E

[@RichManSCTV0]

Please just ban that guy from your channel, thanks!

[@shawnshurtz9147]

Without a doubt, it's not a turbine. It's definitely a pulse jet. It lacks a turbine.

[@DanielJamesEgan]

I bet that dude who constantly posts that was freaking out thinking Donut did his idea, only to find out they were fucking with him.

[@brandonyoungstrom8902]

Click bait!

[@ganjacats]

The interview was really cool, learned a lot about James. I’m glad he’s in a much better place considering some of the obstacles he’s faced in life. His dad would for sure be proud.

[@heckwine]

“the engine needs to fit inside the object to be considered” as they sit on a car sized chassis with a desk bolted to it lol

[@ChunkieBro]

100% agree

[@Shocker99]

I'm glad i wasn't the only one to see the irony in that.

[@Ben-ew4jf]

“I don’t like the jet ski because it’s just a motorcycle wearing a costume.” He says while sitting in a go cart that’s wearing a desk costume 😂😂

[@yeahitskimmel]

Was gonna make this same comment. Nothing against those builds myself but James is pretty famous for having opposite opinions day to day, even mentioned in the podcast it's something he's working on

[@thewhitedread7572]

Hey man it's in there lol

[@rickyjosuevent]

That ain't no motorized desk, that's a GoKart with a desk front bumper man lol

[@rustler08]

I love how he criticizes the barstool, but his "desk" is literally just a car with dashboard replaced with something that resembles a desk

[@Natsukashii1111]

Yeah I don't like how the high school kids also beat the first dude with his toilet. He obviously made it for fun, the other where tryhard trying to beat him. Same for that desk, it's just a kart and they are tryhard to beat the other dude with a whole box office.

[@joeatchison3038]

I bought 2 of them when Boss Hoss was going into bankruptcy. They are not easy to drive. Sold them to a local restaurant owner with way to much money. Thought I was going to have to strip the motors.

[@JapanCustomTours]

I have a friend that has a motorised bar stool, literally just a stool/wheel and motor - uses it on race days to cruise around the pit area.

[@Deja117]

@@JapanCustomTours Now I'm interested, he got any pictures on the interwebs or something that I could see with a quick search? Sounds really cool. :)

[@JapanCustomTours]

@@Deja117 I had a look but couldn't find the picture I was thinking of - Eddie Pinkham is a crazy fast driver (won a stage of the FIA Asia-Pacific Rally), but we used to do track-days (his Nissan GTR was wicked fast). He was known for taking 8-hour repair jobs and doing them in an hour. Has an electrician business and his kids are playing in motorsport down in New Zealand and winning (my car is in hibernation - I miss it).

[@Master_Boogie]

That King Charles joke on the day they announced his cancer diagnosis. Got damn lol

"Jesus poked through the cloud and said hey buddy, you coming up?" Beautiful 😂

[@marvinromero6629]

Took me out

[@DangerB0ne]

I once passed a church that had the message "Come to church to talk with God, text and drive to meet Him" on their signboard. It had me laughing for my whole commute home.

[@LossBH]

that animation was so sick too

[@jagger2001]

I'm sad that no one brought up the desk that Conan O'Brien drove on his old late night show. Truly a pioneer and an obvious inspiration.

[@Wheels-of-terror]

Every procrastinating college commuter needs one of these.

[@eddygor]

If thats a "desk" then come see my camper, i mean "worlds fastest bed and kitchen"

[@JacksonKillroy]

"its not really a jetsky" well neither is that thing really a desk lol, its an electric gokart with some plywood nailed to it

[@bwame]

The jetski actually looks identical to a real jetski but has 2 wheels. The desk-bullshit looks like a gokart/buggy with an object which could be considered a desk or just some crappy wood front clip. Huge difference.

[@diedrichfilms6437]

Greatest crossover event in history

[@yurrrrrrrrr5957]

fr, as a fan of both, this is perfect

[@Tyindel]

The world's fastest shed deserved to be on the list. 450 hp V8 from an RS4, 103 mph on a half mile, it's gone drag racing and is fully road legal.

[@rossnotfromfriends]

as a TMG fan i’ve loved this and we have now confirmed Noel’s race after all these years now that we saw his uncle Boss Man

[@kkranezz]

Was hoping to see someone else commenting about that. As soon as he said “That might be my uncle.” we finally figured it out.

[@lilblingking1491]

[@ThmsPtrsn]

I don't know, Uncle doesn't mean too much. Maybe only 1 part of his ethnicity.

[@broklond]

They talk a lot of crap on engines that are not contained in the "thing", while sitting in a car that just has a desk as its nose :D

[@QuadCloudNine]

The dude's couch car is 1000x better than the "desk" car the host has.

[@The_Real_Doggo_Gaming]

Bro what in the Turbo dismount 💀

[@upmarketdread]

I'm not sure the person that screwed a desk to an electric golf kart should be crticising the bar stool or jetski build

[@yeahitskimmel]

James mentioned recently on Past Gas that having totally different opinions day-to-day is something he's working on and now I notice it all the time. Throwing shade on these builds for tacking the object onto a cart while in a cart with a desk tacked on

[@ryanc995]

Difference might be that they fully engineered the vehicle around the desk, where-as like with the jetski bike, the jetski body was slapped ontop of the existing vehicle.

[@LafemmebearMusic]

I think maybe enjoy the entertainment and calm down. 😊

[@wiggenvan]

@@ryanc995around the desk? My guy this thing has a tube chassis and goes 25 mph, it’s a custom go-cart with a desk on top of it, cool toy, but not more of the “category” than any other shown

[@jamestewell7721]

@@ryanc995I think I’d reserve the term “engineered” for not this thing

Just strapped a keyboard to the hood of my truck. It's now the world's fastest keyboard.

Never would have predicted this collab,but I'm cetainly not complaining

[@danfoster326]

" Welcome to Donut. We make lists."

[@diegoalonsosotoaceituno7365]

Awesome lists*

[@Volowitz95]

You guys should have included the worlds fastest shed on the list. That thing is hilarious and has B7 RS4 V8 in it.

[@ganjacats]

Dude what!? I haven’t seen Noel Miller since the Vine days, dude was hilarious back then. This was a very cool collaboration

[@AK-sx4zp]

Lmao ur missing out, he's got some decent songs and vids

[@DanielJamesEgan]

"That shopping cart can go 80, but we got another one that's even faster, it goes 70."

[@justdontreportme]

It's way less safe though, the big shopping kart is just a car.

[@kristaps-fl1ln]

the bath of @RobertsVitols definitely should have been on the list James !!! 🤷‍♂️

[@MrMattf727]

the bar stool is as much a bar stool as your desk is a desk. you just have a hopped up gocart with a desk mounted on the front

[@eco909]

The Jetski Bike is just a costume but his gokart with a table as a bumper is a real desk

[@dylanhalifaux]

Furze is a legend.

[@boyscouts5000]

[@adacskipper]

Can't believe y'all didn't mention Chris Rollins' trash can.

[@markus-hei]

This is a collaboration I needed in my life.

[@BiloBonson]

4 years ago when I started watching Donut, never did I think would they ever have this colab with Noel. The simulation is real

[@maybenot6075]

I cant believe you guys missed the shed with the v8 off the list, thats the greatest thing of all time!!!

[@robm5008]

if the go kart with the desk bolted to it didnt have than extreme camber, it would have cornered better. even under compression, only a quarter of the tread was contacting the ground....

[@QuadCloudNine]

The chair was cool becuase it was actually a chair. That's not a desk, its a car with a big dashboard strapped to it.

[@xavierpantig1772]

James and Noel have such a complementary comedic style. I loved this episode 😂

[@limericklad2000]

The addition of King Charles was ever more prurient today after the news. LOL.

[@jjblecha6492]

imagine a podcast with an australian f1 driver on this desk

[@Chubby.Hubby.Gaming]

Love all of your videos. I've never been a big car guy but you guys make me want to get a project car to learn.

[@BumpkinBros]

Yup I remember going down the Woodward cruise and seeing the chopper shopper. What a fun day the perks of living outside of Motown

[@ifixem9585]

Says engine should be contained within advertised object, sitting in a desk with the engine not contained in the object lol

[@larryhouse3776]

You guys should cover Rokon Motorcycles. They build 2 wheel drive motorcycles that will go places quads couldn't even dream of. They're an American company and American made. They look like an absolute blast of fun!

noel is the last person i expected to see in a donut vid

[@gooblako]

He talks about cars on TMG quite a bit, Cody just couldn’t care for cars the way Noel does so they don’t ever get into vehicular conversations.

[@timscarman4599]

The original smart desk, The Desk Mobile, hysterical classic as Don Adams cruises the city streets in his desk from the mid 80’s flick Get Smart, The Nude Bomb. Classic…. I’d almost forgotten that childhood gem of a movie

[@wideopenbros3196]

They should now call this channel Novelty Donut

[@BayAreaMike99]

I know bro like wtf is this shit bring back b2b and wheelhouse

[@Natsukashii1111]

Sad thing is that this does better with less production than other of their show. That's why I don't get sweaty following specific channels anymore as they all need to bring the bucks at some point and it means favoring viral videos.

[@jan_vennegoor_of_hesselink_69]

Super sad not having some of the shows they had with more technical/car culture content, having people like Jerry who's great at simplifying some engineering principles etc and Jobe who is great at going through demos of service work and mods. I'd have been gassed to have some of the older content when I was just starting to work on cars at 17/18 Guys are still charismatic so they do a good job at the new style of content, but it's a shame
