Petition to make this happen more than one annually: call it Cars and Buds

[@sivildisobedience]

Cars and Buds sounds like a VERY different kind of podcast...

[@maudlewis8536]

@@sivildisobediencesounds like a podcast on how to get away with a DUI, weed, or beer

No

[@spector7932]

It’s not just that Doug is popular, you guys do yourselves a disservice thinking that. You and Doug have the best chemistry together, it’s not an interview it’s a couple of friends shooting the shit for a few hours. It comes across in the videos, I think that’s why when he’s on the views are so much higher.

[@LilleyAdam]

Man, I can't watch Doug's videos. But he's such s great guest.

[@xploration1437]

Doug is a loser.

[@LilleyAdam]

Actually thinking about this more, I think my main issue with Doug's videos is his overwhelming enthusiasm talking to the camera about the cars while they are parked. As an Australian that just rubs me wrong, because we are generally deprecating people. But that same enthusiasm works SO damn well in his conversation.

[@alexadelaide]

Same with Cammisa

[@andrewbaskett8581]

I absolutely love Doug and Matt (that Hennessey Blackwing video was epic), and I cannot describe how much I love these podcasts with him. Its such a great discussion and it really is like just listening in to the garage on saturday and hearing two dudes chat about cars. I love it and look forward to this almost yearly discussion...

[@abs2fast2furios]

I had an insulin spike watching Doug eat his 42nd white chocolate Reese's peanut butter cup

[@jakethesnake4971]

It's adding to his gut roll

[@nuckels188]

It's like my uncle with cigarettes

[@TheJoeMB]

For real, his physique is showing the result of all those sweets. Diabetes could be knocking around the corner if he isn't careful.

[@jakethesnake4971]

[@John_O_Maoilearca]

New money Doug!

[@JackMoynihanOfficial]

Doug just has an infectious, almost child like joy and enthusiasm for cars. Its just a genuine love for cars and what they are

The perfect post thanksgiving pod

[@shannonkillingsworth1941]

Always the best guest. Hoovie just bought a concept Cadillac that will probably be available in the next few months. Doug should hit him up since it sounds like exactly the kind of concept car he is looking for.

[@Heyitsallgoodman]

It's up now 👌🏻

[@andrewbaskett8581]

"Part of our Pizza Delivery Collection killed me...." Zach coming with the jokes as always...

Great podcast as always 👏

[@BOKtober]

What snack will Doug be eating this episode?

[@andrewhurstcars]

Individual plastic wrappers for maximum noise 😅😂

[@Joseph-zh7fm]

I just love listening to Doug talk about things, It's that childlike enthusiasm I like to hear when I'm doing something else

[@Trickniner]

The episodes with these two BS'img for a couple of hours are my favorite.

[@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13]

Doug's the type of guy who can get a word in past Matt.

[@rjnation5042]

2 1/2 hours with Doug, oh hell yeah, great conversation between you guys, thanks, Rj in Oz

[@TheJoeMB]

I really likes Doug's philosophy now on car ownership. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

[@fishhead90]

Amount of candy Doug brings to podcasts is pretty impressive 😅

[@deathcab4booty]

He hasn't ever been on TST without snacks in the 10 or so years he's been coming on. Mans knows what he's about

[@The_Stanman]

​@@deathcab4bootyyou should his own videos. Dozens of cookies everywhere. I don't know how he's not obese.

[@andrewhurstcars]

The White Collection is even larger than that photo, the whole top floor is tons of memorabilia, books, posters - Doug and Matt would be shocked. 959 and Carrera GT had already been sold previously. Love these Doug episodes! My E90 330i still has the original CD changer in the trunk.

[@gilgonzalez5902]

Who remembers Doug trashing the Countach earlier in the year when he did one of these episodes? Lol talking about it drives like shit and its a headache to own. Now that he owns one he loves them 😂

[@BigScienceDP]

I wish this was a more common occurrence.. Excellent show. Im the rare one here thats always watching dougs videos but realize i need to watch more of TST

[@JimPakeman]

You guys literally just explained the “two Rogers” scene from Gone in 60 Seconds talking about buying a new Ferrari and feeling special. Awesome scene and completely agree

[@CharlesCrawfordIV]

New Money Doug just WRECKING eight Reese’s cups. 😂

[@TimothyWilson42]

I'm so glad Doug brought up that Ed Bolian article, such a good piece of writing that served as a great little intermission in the tail end of the pod.

[@joeelkins5234]

I loves Doug’s “I will not disclose the fact that the car has been in an accident”. It’s like the 3rd time he’s said that. I wonder if who ever eventually buys it on Cars and Bids will remember the joke

[@Steve-qd5tk]

Matt looks like he has lost some weight and looks great. Doug is settling into his dad bod well. Congratulations on the second kid Doug.

[@texasBMXer]

As the former owner of a 2003 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer Edition I love when Matt mentions his Mountaineer or Villager Nautica Edition because a completely inordinate amount of time is spent discussing Ford Explorers and clothing-related trim levels.

[@deliverymandan]

The ford explorer talk hit me directly in the feeeeels! My dad got one as a company vehicle in 97 working for Radio Shack in Maine! Got a hand me down one at first, but then in 1998, got a brand new one. I thought we were the coolest people around. Those things for sure were everywhere in the north east. That thing was so cool, to 12 year old me😂

[@darius2640]

Doug totally should make a show called "Quirk my ride"

[@Schnepoo]

I would love a podcast with these 3 guys like full time, i would be so ready to pay for a subscription to a weekly podcast called smoking doug

[@toddr3093]

We already know Matt and Zack smoke, and I’m pretty sure Doug does too based on a few of his videos. That would make for a great patreon show, the 3 of them, blazing some good herb and BSing about cars. Call it Cars and Bud’s as someone mentioned above

[@thomasd5248]

I don't watch Doug or really enjoy his content but these podcasts are fire from the chemistry. Always a good chat

[@BrendanEvan]

Agreed

[@Butterbean32]

[@itsjaypee]

51:50 Doug saying shout out to Kendal Jenner made me chuckle

[@nathangiles8258]

I love you guys and your perspective; and I listen to every episode. But I got on youtube to watch this episode for Doug. It is special to have him once a year, but I would love it if he was on twice a year. Thanks, keep up the great work!

[@ZoneKei]

Such an entertaining show as per usual. Matt and Doug's combined useless car knowledge is genuinely always enthralling.

[@bbman10pwns]

The contrast between how slow Matt talks and how fast Doug talks is insane

[@fastfarari]

This guy and Doug is the nightmare blunt rotation

[@bluewombat]

As a Dane (now living in Texas), Doug's comment about the E38, "if you were living in Denmark and embarrassed about being rich," almost killed me 🤣 That was one of the many reasons I left Denmark, it's called the Law of Jante, it's deeply ingrained in Danes that you're not supposed to show off. The last vehicle i had there was an 07 ML63 AMG, and literally every trip I ever drove in that vehicle in the two years I had it, at least one person would flip me off for no reason and shout, "rich asshole," "give it to the poor" etc.

[@MR2D2AL]

Amazing chemistry; fantastic conversation. Y’all need to open a quirky car museum! Like the Lane in Nashville, but weirder!

[@NAJMFAN]

Incredible stuff being said and stories being shared! Love love love this podcast!

[@ryanfinley200]

On Tesla owners. For the record I own a Model 3 and I not only have driven lots of trucks but I drove a huge 26’ box truck for work. Can’t wait for my Cyber Truck. Am actually hoping it’s so good Matt changes his tune on it. If we can get Matt lol

[@Petrospect]

DOUG SPENT 20K ON AN A CLASS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHA but also, this was a surprisingly good one. Great convo!

[@markcooper770]

Could you ask Rod Stewart to be a guest ? He's a big car guy and has had a really interesting life. This pod cast was fun, especially watching Doug eating how many Reeses ?! Thanks Matt and Zack.

[@das42k]

[@donteadoss]

I do solemnly and sincerely swear that I will watch this podcast collab for the rest of my entire life! 🔥 The entirety of the podcast was solid from beginning to end - admittedly love you guys’ relaxed, natural, unscripted chemistry more than any of the TST podcasts.

Great having Doug on the show as always and him being so open about his chocolate addiction!! Also enjoy when Zach joins in. Suggestion maybe have him on video all time but in a smaller screen in top right. Surprised when talking about prototype the Jaguar C-X75 is never mentioned. Honestly its one of the most beautiful cars ever and even by todays standards is seriously quick. Definitely agree on the Porsche Panamera if you can afford the up keep as a total bargain.

Props to the hosts, and also to the Patreons that sent in some great questions, which generated genuine answers. You can't sit down to create this length of content with this amount of excitement unless you mean it. Thanks for everything, everyone! Also, my Fiesta ST was on Cars and Bids so thanks for the great platform.
