VW Beetle Pt. II - How the Beetle Went from Hitler to Hippies- Past Gas #22-23

[@hipthrust14]

“I have been peeing in my trash can for weeks” would’ve been better😂😂

[@MrScotty5877304]

Was Herbie mentioned at all during the podcast? One of my earliest memories is crying and shouting " Bastards!" At the tv when they chucked him off the cruise ship into the sea 🤣🤣🤣

[@stareater1870]

Mentioned a movie series but not Herbie by name, I don't think he was.

[@MrScotty5877304]

@@stareater1870 Weird name for a VW Beetle " Herbie" now I think about it, unless there's a " Herb " beetle i dont know about lol

[@freddym.1489]

Not by name, just mentioned as a Disney line of movies

[@air-headedaviator1805]

Perfect time and place. Podcasts with comedy and info are such a great time passer

[@Epck]

It's actually really funny usually I'm picky

[@davidbouey4022]

you guys need to show example pics of the thing you’re mentioning pleaseeee!!

[@JoeUrbanYYC]

"it took 40,000 herring to paint one car" "I don't know that sounds pretty inefFISHient" 😂

Love these VW episodes! I'm building a 67 VW Squareback and am always down for VW content. Keep up the good work!

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Dream Wrench I like the squarebacks!! 👍🏻

[@DreamWrench]

@@SladesVWBeetle Thanks! I dig the Superbeetle content. Subscribed

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Dream Wrench Thank you I appreciate it. I also have a 68 waiting to get in the garage but that will be a little while. Just subscribed back!

[@DreamWrench]

@@SladesVWBeetle Awesome! I'll stay tuned

[@jimmypopp2695]

@Jess Piedra Do they ever call you "The Rock"?

[@colehalford1893]

Donut tour is a must! 👍

[@darquille]

Am I the only one creeping on Jame's screen while Nolan was reading? I see him scrolling through memes and merch on the Donut site

On the topic of yogurt: I actually had a professor in college make his own yogurt from scratch, and occasionally you would be lucky (or unlucky) enough to catch him on his lunch break and be given a sample of this…. experiment. One of my classmates was given a cup of this stuff and man was it interesting. Whatever bacteria he used to make it would still be reacting with the other stuff in the yogurt and it actually bubbled… and it was ominously warm. We were all so fascinated by the weird warm cup of bubbling yogurt that none of us wanted to try it. Very weird experience.

[@itsameyaboi]

Love this synth shop, film more often here, even after quarantine 😂

[@adliedham7791]

Hope they see this, so help me give it some attention. Please make a podcast about the Ferrari and McLaren F1 scandal 2007!

[@SquigglesZero]

Fun fact: The Russians actually did just that. One of the reasons they where so good, Russian tankers had a height limit.

[@ZombieWilfred]

There is a maximum size for a fighter pilot still today. Back in Vietnam you had to be a small guy to be a tunnel rat, small guys tending to be belly gunners in WWII because they could get in and out of the gun turret, etc. Conversely, you also don't tend to have a smaller guy be the "heavy weapon" guy in a squad. The idea is not really out of line at all...

[@andretsang7337]

Yeah, honestly this makes a lot of sense. Different people have different strengths, and that's all right

[@OttoTheWeim]

This was awesome to listen to while I rebuilt the euro headlights on my VW scirocco.

[@keonia.9553]

I was laughing so hard when James started talking about packing in a hot building, I package turbo chargers in a warehouse in Arizona. I was at work listening to it and I couldn't help but smile knowing that.

[@creator4413]

Thats dope what kind of turbos

[@keonia.9553]

@@creator4413 Mainly diesel turbos, we do alot of oem but we get the occasional order for something special, usually being bored out for a larger compressor wheel.

[@sharonbraselton4302]

Porsche 930 turbos zero failures so far

[@flatfourluka1306]

My favorite podcast of all time :3

[@zachh4256]

Do an episode on the Takata scandal! I have been withing since January 1st to hear NHTSA's decision on GM's FOURTH petition!!!

[@hypercomms2001]

42:05... I remember visiting the Ford production line in Broadmeadows, Victoria where the workers said they used to use a coke Can to pee into as they did not have the time for a toilet break. Not sure what they did not number two......

[@joshvtec]

Stop censoring your content please. We’re not 8 years old. Love y’all 😘

[@ChipW]

As a creator myself, I know they censor in order to avoid YT's super sensitive "we are going to demonetize" bot (not really named that). Anyway, YT will demonetize you for some really stupid reasons. This is why you often hear them bleep cockpit even though in itself, is not an offensive word. So, they need to censor to keep their money coming in so they can pay the bills. Not being argumentative, just informing.

[@Odddit]

@Stephen Hogan yeah it'd be because JRE's getting his money from sponsors like honey or nordvpn or any of that weird protein drink shit he shills. youtube is mad sensitive for swearing

[@jessekohler6000]

@Stephen Hogan YT is dumb and confusing, Steve-O can upload a 20 minute video based on all the stuff he shoved up his butt while giving every vulgar detail and still be monetized. Meanwhile Armchair Historian can't get monetized because he teaches history. YT is trying to either rewrite history or virtue signal so hard trying to be a corporate white knight.

[@MachtPlays]

@@ChipW the bleep on cockpit is funny though lol

[@William-Morey-Baker]

Its about money, not maturity...

[@ndndiscgolf779]

Comedy tour would be sick!!!!

[@Lenoch_]

By far one of the funniest episodes of Past Gas

[@mrmi125]

Nice episode, guys ! Good job ! This format is great : long episode with less ads ;) I know it is a audio podcast but as it is also on KZbin, could you pleeeease show some illustrations pics here or there :) ? But, I kind of miss the dynamic and humor of the first episodes. I feel like you have less fun doing it than you used to ! I miss James' personas imitations ! But still my favorite podcast, I always enjoy listening to you, thanks for your work ! Keep on going !

[@willr69420]

Soooo jazzed I don't have to wait until Sunday! SCORE!!

[@bradrussell8523]

Stand-up tour please

[@eskamobob8662]

Can we get some more info on the bug in the thumbnail? I would love to see actual specs on it (mainly how they fit their wheels)

[@imthatguy7453]

Much better, great episode. Thanks guys.

[@reyesjosh67]

Do a podcast on F1 racing I got into the Netflix series and I’m hooked I need more

[@andrewarneson8795]

Where my lipreaders at? Who just recorded in this studio?

[@thablasta]

Just watched some Players from 2010 and that was legit! I get why I think James is so damn hilarious now.

[@mapphew1995]

You guys made me think it was Sunday already, this is a pleasant surprise.

[@lukenobrains]

Major hurst wasnt an engineer... in the british military we have 2 seperate corps. Royal Engineers (RE) that are more like building, plumbing and electricians (for buildings) and the Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers (REME). Hurst was REME. It may sound petty to you but over here its like calling a marine a sailor or something. Also RE dont get discount when buying new from VW, REME do because the corps helped rebuild them :)

[@bradleyhove4177]

Yo they got some cool ass synths there, jealous!

[@jameswright5572]

Ford F series is the best selling personal vehicle of all time. One sold every 30 seconds on average.

[@flamcheeseful]

These are getting better keep is up. maybe do a rally podcast!

[@zsemmler]

Yes please a donut car n comedy tour. Then do a live pod cast with a fan from the city your visiting or someone specific to the pod cast.

[@reveurs9]

FYI: The Edge's real name is Dave Evans. And he got his nick name The Edge because of the shape of his face. Bono, The Edge and Co had a surrealist street gang called The Lypton Village before they were U2. It is in a book called Bono par Bono by French author Mishka Assayas. As well as on this web page: u2.fandom.com/wiki/Bono

You guys could do a past gas about the yellow river dragstrip disaster in 1969 near Covington Georgia. Look up the Dixie twister 1969 Camaro.

[@LtNduati]

I'm sorry but James saying he'd go back in time to defraud the Nazi's or mobilize their supporters in the same episode of why he doesn't feel that he's smart enough to speak on dark topics as such is both hilarious and equally ironic and incredibly well self-assessed and it's why I love Donut Podcast. It's too good for anyone to not enjoy

[@garrettfixx2809]

nobody gonna joke ab James checking texts during Nolan's part? Yeah me either haha whatever

[@volvobrynk]

Hey Donut, how about doing a part on William S. Knudsen? The GM Boss that put the American war effort on wheels, for ww2!

my favorite 70's cop show was Richard Starsky and Hutch

[@Paul8v]

Wow, that studio is awesome

[@jakeshowlingnation8996]

actually tanks nowadays are made as fast and light with the smallest possible profile as possible, of course it still is big af but engineers trying to make tanks smaller,lighter and more agile. That shows that porsche did not just made a unreasonable proposal, he actually used a sense of modern tank engeneering, in opposite to hitlers thinking of „bigger is better“

[@mech5]

There was a competition for the contract to build the people's car. Did you guys only go to one source for information? The thoroughness in how they assessed the competing automobiles you would find most interesting.

"Hey, umm, Hitler, could you maybe turn off the war, or like at least make smaller tanks?" You know you're on the wrong end of a war, when a Wunderkind (pun intended) asks these questions but for realz...

My homie has a Prince Albert and Jacobs ladder that had 8 “steps” a total of 9 piercings. Which lead me to want me to get a ladder but fortunately I found a new girlfriend which if we’re boning everyday isn’t possible to allow the 6 week recovery time unless wearing protection and also the cleaning. But to be real the cleaning would be the most painful unless doing the deed raw with a “fresh” piercing
