Part of the reason I respect Dave is that he got off tv. Jesse James said it well when he said he’d never do tv again unless he had total control over the content

[@captaincripple7218]

I can’t stand any of the history channel or discovery channel shows! I may love the topic but the scripted fake drama absolutely ruins all of it!

[@arcadiaoutlaw]

Phony deadlines to make drama

[@adammonahan687]

I see what your saying BUT i enjoy watching some of them. Like moonshiners. I watch every episode. Sure its 99 percent staged and fake but its decent tv.

[@khsharroun]

At least shows like Gold Rush stay educational and interesting without too much over the top drama. I like it and a few others like it.

[@michaeldaugherty2293]

At least MythBusters was actually real.

[@tmannpd7290]

@@arcadiaoutlawyou mean building a high performance sema truck from a rust bucket in 2hrs with $1,500 isn’t realistic?!? It was fun as a teen to watch but being in my 30’s now I wanna see realistic stuff.

[@chrisgavlik]

Props to Dave on admitting they rushed the first trucks out. It must have been hard to push out trucks he couldn't be proud of.

[@jtcollins2112]

Love this conversation. THANKS.

[@luke_from_online]

His KZbin content is so next-level, also shout out to the clip guy this one got me ive wanted to know this for a long time haha

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Big fan of listening to all these discussions. Thanks dudes

[@justinvanburen8259]

Such an awesome group of people!!

"Time gives you results"❤

[@rickybobby7285]

You got most of my favorite KZbinrs talking together………….. Subbed

[@MTBryanH]

Content all over the place makes the show awesome.

[@philwittkamp]

Never heard of or seen the interview guys. I’ll check them out. Love heavy d.

[@spooge33]

This dude will never run out of KZbin ideas. He just copies everyone else, and he loves the camera.

[@jcritter9295]

He’s a fake and I can’t stand him.

[@JohnSmithKillFeds]

​@@jcritter9295 how so?

[@Crackrocksteady]

Heavy d channel keeps me coming back because its not always the same thing rinse and repeat

[@Ocboy420]

Y’all are doing outstanding on KZbin ! Literally my dream job / career is to become a KZbinr with similar content to all of your guys. Awesome job to all of you 👏🏻🔥

[@bryanharness1122]

Glad you came to KZbin. The TV shows was too scripted

[@jmpsavescars]

Turning what i do for a living to the people who enjoy it on youtube has brought me so much joy. These guys truly do it for the love and that means so much, thank you gentlemen JMPsavescars

[@michaelwarden5349]

THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH MR. DIESEL DAVE FOR ALL YOUR HELP SIR.

[@makapa2u]

Dang I feel old !!! 🤪I remember that diesel truck and piped in the exhaust into the bathroom

[@clintmiller88]

Dave still does that tv personality on KZbin it’s hilarious but his KZbin content is amazing

[@JunComeo-mw8ee]

HeavyDSparks brought me here fan from the Philippines horrrayyy

[@clintmiller88]

Dave is one of the few rich people who understand how to make KZbin

[@lawncaretoamillion]

Lol

[@Pterodactyl-kn3ve]

Casey Neistat enters the chat.

[@Chase_AM]

Casey Neistat was broke before KZbin.

[@StonedSpagooter]

​@Chase_AM His first blog is of him on Vacation. Not RICH, but FAR from poor.

[@fast97z24]

Yea, I'm sure he didn't pay anyone to come in and help.

[@jo9367]

Im happy they are on youtube they have more freedom

[@914Rocky]

I’d like hear him talk about the Diesel trademark infringement lawsuit. I think it was nearly a $12 million loss.

[@jasonbarron6164]

With great gains one can only expect great losses but we only talk about the gains thats the needle pointing in the direction we are going no one flips the needle and talks about loss until its over our focus needs to point to that highest peak let others talk about the hurdles that had to be overcome to get there

[@christiedovale7827]

I'm addicted

[@christiedovale7827]

to HD and crew

[@fakename8856]

Nice couch. 😂❤

[@candm9610]

I wouldn’t let my dog sit on that couch.

[@sarahdell4042]

This dude is the reason for all of the EPA nonsense

[@S0REN_]

EPA were coming down on diesels since before he was born, that organization is full of freedom-haters and always has been

[@leomikie]

you really believe that? I say BS

[@billyjackson5664]

I remember when Truck Rice called his crew out. Trash welds, blue tooth shafts and overall garbage builds 😆

[@invalidusernameyt1145]

Someone get Weston out them pawpaw socks

[@fast97z24]

Love how Larry McFarland called out Light D on being famous before KZbin.

[@MotionAutoTv]

This clip is gold for any creator who thinks that making it on TV is now the dream. Seems like it used to be before KZbin, but hearing the low value of an episode and having no control is crazy to me.

[@digitus78]

Seems pretty basic build crap trucks, give em away for views, ride other channels coat ride tails, break every smog law you can, sell cheap merch for insane profits and ambulance chase every major incident while filming .... because the vid will pay for it. Use all vehicles as business write offs so taxes dont get ya. Possible for anyone, just how low will you go to get that dollar.

[@loganwebb3162]

Get comfy Cletus ❤

[@pawpawsgarage]

Dave is one of the best heavy equipment operators anywhere an Cletus can drive anything with a motor

[@Largecar2165]

wow you have no clue what a good operator is

[@duck0fdeathc336]

Dudes a grifter . Can’t run a machine for shit n honestly shouldn’t be aloud to wrench on anything other than a pedal bike

[@robertottwell605]

Dave breaks every single thing he gets in to drive or operate.

[@MUFFIN988]

The funny part is when he made his bathroom prank in 2013 that’s when I was born

[@j81851]

Everyone for the most part that did Discovery is either broke or maybe crazy because one of the guys that had a show I think Dan was his name said they almost bankrupted him wanting to do retakes of takes and camera angles so they would have to fake the work over and over again. We need to remember this is a cable channel, Discovery and not CBS with deep deep pockets 60 years ago. Dan said the madness of producing the work at the quality they wanted for their customer with a Discover crew more less up their noses was just too much. He said enough and then went to work to restore his business and crawl out of the hole the fiasco with Discovery caused him to be in.

[@johnunsicker7440]

Fantom Works was the show. He said it best they want you to do a car from start to finish in a month and he's doing year plus restores. Delivering half done cars wasn't what he wanted to do.

[@johnstewart6920]

diesel spores stay in your lungs forever

[@boysrus61]

The LDS church has asked influencers to halt their podcasts and focus on spreading the word bc of the mass amount of negative publicity with the Tim Ballard, Ruby Franke and Jodi Hilderbrandt, Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow and several other high publicity disasters of LDS members.

[@anchorbrandranch]

⚓️ Anchor Brand Ranch ⚓️ Owes Dave for a shot at KZbin Both Daves!!!!

[@jasonbarron6164]

Cleetus acts like he doesn't know how meteoric his rise has been i remember when he was puttin duck calls or deer whistles on his corvette then bought a 5 000 dollar wrecked vette and turned it into a go cart and built it to challenge the fastest cars in the world and then he needed a proper home for it so he purchased a dilapidated old race track and cleaned it out made it functional and then turned it into a venue that sells out instantly for celeb events hell yeah brother what ?

[@waddy1788]

I think it all comes down to personality whether you are succesful on KZbin or not. I watch people that I like. I dont care if you have the newest Lambo...if I dont like you as a person and find you interesting, I am not going to watch your channel. Keep it up boys, you are great! Love the content!!

[@ryanjordan6703]

Im so fucking glad he left because i was getting at least 20 messages a month saying i won 1000 dollars

[@candm9610]

And don’t forget all the give aways he did on KZbin that other wealthy people would always seem to win. I think it was a razor he had a drawing for and miraculously it went to some helicopter company or channel.

[@Lootensansy2308]

I think KZbin need to be just real and not staged and that is the problem 95% of f KZbinr are stage

[@jonknisley2216]

part 2?

[@BCA-1]

What Dave is saying is what I see in his YT and VGG. On TV neither seem as fun or watchable as they do when they do their own thing on YT. It is hard to watch Derek on Motortrend compared to VGG. Seems scripted and rehearsed, not as fun.

[@MostlyFaded]

Discovery dropped Heavy D after he got sued for selling a bunch of trucks that he illegally modified...emissions related

[@maxboya]

Bro I cannot believe how ignorant 🤡’s in the comment section do not realize that. “Kinda like a middle finger to discovery” He’s bashing them under his tongue cause they dropped his contract and he didn’t get the rest of his payout. So now he has to lie to get views on his channel to come close to paying off those debts. Funny how naive and ignorant people are. Blows my mind.

[@donhitchman4227]

I agree with Dave about how many idiots are on KZbin, but also, I like the fact that he speaks his mind and doesn't care what others think, which is pretty much the way I am as well. I wish him well in future endeavors and I watched his KZbin videos everyday. Keep up the good work Dave

[@eSteven.0131]

❤❤

[@channing8129]

The youtube tv shows are the best.

[@GrimReaper4383]

He had a show on tv?

[@pawpawsgarage]

Hey, that looks like my dogs couch.

[@RedAppleApe]

So in the end… smoking a friend with a diesel truck brought him to where he is hehehe

[@adventureswithripnlips9165]

Ask him about his love for established titles.

[@masonstewart9184]

i wish he could make a movie

[@jesseshelby4383]

There would be too much Hans in in 😂😂😂😂

[@PontiacLS]

Make a movie on how little d screws people

[@666kty3]

They left reality because of the EPA situation, they got busted illegally tuning trucks and the Networks dropped them like a bad ex girlfriend. Fact.

[@LWRC]

So this guy got famous by doing a bathroom prank on someone by pumping diesel exhaust into a confined space??!!! That is stupid as diesel exhaust is TOXIC AND DEADLY IN A CONFINED SPACE!!!

[@astaroth_sasazaki_yt]

is Heavy D Sparks related to Monkey D Luffy?

[@shannonstiles8751]

🇺🇸🙏🏽

[@WhiskeyTango68]

I lost a lot of respect for Dave when about 5-10 years ago he would go on rants about how great illegal aliens are (can still find them on YT). Yes we are a nation of immigrants, Ellis island was legal immigration around 20 million people over 50 years. And we still have a path to citizenship that’s been undermined by the lawlessness. Now we have 300k illegals every month!Deep down he has no zero respect for our sovereignty but he considers himself a patriot. 🙄

[@sarahdell4042]

Also stuck up endlessly for his criminal friend.

[@candm9610]

I wonder how much the cult…… I’m sorry, the mormon church gets from him.

[@texasfrontiersman8245]

Who's the solo guy never seen him before?

[@blackmacs1748]

The big guy to Dave's left is Westen Champlin. The othe guys are all Cboys and then Cleetus

[@Peccs91]

Man I just realized how long I’ve followed Dave Sparks. Have followed him since the OG Built Diesel giveaway. The Diesel Bros. show kinda sucked but I’ll always like his classic KZbin content.

[@Jesse_Jessie_James]

HE DIDN'T QUIT TIE SHOW DISCOVERY PULLED THE PLUG AFTER WJAT HAPPENED AT SEMA.

[@scottnelson7506]

What is Cletus talking about heavy d KZbin worked because he had the formula to make it work from discovery so his situation is different from someone just starting up from not knowing how it works

[@williamh192]

Pull them MAN CARDS ! NOT ONE dude with a hole in their socks !!!! I don't think I own a pair without out one . LOL

[@greenidguy9292]

Dave is all about Dave…who loves attention.

[@ryanmalec4234]

But he forgot to mention Discovery channel made him famous

[@ICanDoItMyself]

KZbin is a grind. At it nearly 5 years and I’m about to hit 5k subscribers. But I make on average less than $300/month between KZbin and Amazon affiliate program. A LOT of work for little payoff. I’t likely easier with a crew to help record and edit. But when you’re doing every step by yourself, it gets difficult. But I also get the fact that I’m not that entertaining.

[@greenidguy9292]

Maybe your content isn’t that appealing? 🤔

[@jessemoore9982]

TV is so bad and pre-planned compared to KZbin. There is a reason most of the motor trend guys have left to do their own thing. The scope of life doesn't fit in a overly scripted TV box. Props to this group!

[@michaelwarden5349]

IT'S CALLED HANS BREAKS EVERYTHING. SO MR. SPARKS HAVE TO PAY FOR WHAT HE BRAKES BREAKS. MR. HEAVY D SPARKS

[@earlarthur9378]

Dave Sparks your KZbin "episodes" are way better than the television show anyways so sir, YOU MADE A GOOD CHOICE!!

[@leomikie]

VOLUME IS TO LOW

[@BiggHoss]

Diesel Brothers ruined Diesel tuning for everyone. Their dumbasses put all of us on the EPA's radar

[@jvepps]

Got the EPA sniffing at EVERY SINGLE car tuners door now. Little fuck boy ruined tuning for a whole lot more than just diesels. Shops are still getting pinched to this day.

[@ToeJammer-ge2zs]

Sure did. Put a shit load of hard working American shops out of business. 😡

[@myvids4329]

lmao y'all are on something. They were gonna figure it out eventually with every jacked up diesel driving mouth breather rolling coal on everyone everywhere

[@mikekerby814]

I thought the least of Dave because of the TV show. It was a clown show. Now that he is back on KZbin I enjoy the show.

[@SS454LS6]

$3000 per episode for 8 episodes? That's dog shit lol.

[@turfguy420]

one hell of a negotiator....

[@TheDnlnext]

This is exactly why cable is dying ☠️

[@robertrickett7816]

I think he left cause he figured out reality TV isn't real, it's all a sham. What he does now is far and away better

[@mikejohns3104]

I thought this dude was just trying to help rebuild a lost mining town in California or something.

[@S0REN_]

That would be @GhostTownLiving, Heavy D transported a lot of things up there, including a large water tank

[@sam_s_]

Forcing a friend to breathe diesel smoke is not funny at all. Who knows what kind of harm they caused the guy in the long term.

[@timtutiul1737]

Sucks for discovery. Best part are the recovery’s. Searching for people. Getting old heavy equipment running. Ex-ex-ex. Too bad they have clowns running TV shows not understanding what people want nowadays

[@Jason.family]

I thought he quit TV due to the Nikola stuff.

[@JR113FTW]

Now he's crypto scamming and jumping on board one of the biggest scams in the last 25 years, Nikola

[@maxboya]

Watching the whole video, heavy D showed defamation towards discovery. Boy that was not smart on his end. Someone has already sent this to discovery so heavy D better be ready to be served another court summons lol 😂 🤡

[@CA_88]

All his KZbin videos are staged

[@DubChampion]

Not a fan of the KZbin personality though, I prefer just real people doing what they like.

[@madspaz77098]

I stopped watching when he was saying he was going to run for president. Dude lost touch, it's all business.

[@proudpennsylvaniaman7996]

His adds are trash.

[@BongToes420]

Yea but all y’all’s vids are planned so that’s a lie

[@charlesalden9167]

WHO CARES

[@Terry-lu2dr]

We feel sorry for Dave in his $15 million cabin with $100 million of toys...Not

[@mattcummings6325]

He made the money he’s allowed to spend it you sound jealous

[@taylorjams4845]

Damn, I love when someone cries because someone worked harder and got more than they did.

[@1zzKolby]

Womp womp

[@DanaDoesStuff]

Show us where he asked anybody to feel sorry for him.

[@Bodie2020]

Do you jealous much?

[@ilikesnow]

Dude, couch podcasts of any kind are the worst. Nice socks in my face bruh. The whole episode smells like feet. Love Dave though.

[@MikeJohnson-ej4oc]

So he can scam people on KZbin

[@ATLTraveler]

Prolly because it’s all fake. I used to watch a lot of those shows but admit I’ve never heard of diesel brothers. Maybe it was just after I kind of quit watching those types of shows once I learned they are all fake.

[@PeeterPuncher]

Diesel bros are part of the reason the EPA has been going after the diesel truck industry.

[@jcritter9295]

Remember when they were paid talking heads for Nikola? At the time all of it was fake and they happily took the money and talked up that semi truck

[@troyg3439]

I think what you mean to say is the real reason he doesn't have a show anymore is because it showed him breaking EPA diesel emissions regulations and it cost him almost a million dollars in fines. I'm sure Discovery didn't want any part of that.

[@troyg3439]

@jcritter9295 They are grifters. They will hock anything for $$$. They have no issue ripping off their fans with scummy sales with lotteries attached. Ask anyone who has bought a shirt off them if they got all the tickets for the contest they were due.

[@colbymoore12]

I love you guys, but I have such a pet peeve about socks and no shoes. SO MANY SOCKS

[@a-a-rondavis9438]

You're brainwashed by Hollywood to hate feet.

[@user-yw3sb8uu7h]

"youtube money" srry didnt watch the vid,

[@weirdgamerincxpected2882]

I hate watching tv itself because everything is the same from 10 years ago and it's all so fake

[@jcritter9295]

Heavy D is a fake

[@EricCartman66688]

People watching other people is pathetic 😂

[@cybermavrik]

what is .... because his show sux Alex

[@markkollman870]

I thought it was that his fans saw how disingenuous he really is and left.

[@chillyourself5208]

guy makes cringe content

[@greezy937]

Quit buying other people's builds and claiming them as your own. Bunch of frauds

[@thomastimas]

Says the guy greasy greezy the thief himself!!
