- It's Doug Demuro! What's it like owning a Ford GT? A convertible G Wagen? We get into it.
Doug has a giant RUclips channel AND he's one of the nicest people in the car world. He's made a career out of pointing out all the details and weird little things about cars. We talk about EVERYTHING. His Ford GT, his weird G Wagen, how to film cars, what he likes about driving and not driving, the collector market, and more.

58:00 The reason why we like to watch Doug so much is because the format makes you show the real ownership of an un obtain able car (for a lot of us anyway). And through him, we see what it would like to actually own a car. The quirks and features are known only to owners. And that contributes to the momentary ownership experience
This is it for me exactly. Car reviewers, if they complain about anything, always complain about something you would only care about if you tracked the car on the weekends. Doug actually shows things I might actually take an interest in (or have a problem with!) if I were to TRULY ACTUALLY REALLY own the car.
that's not the reason though. the reason for his success is he pleases the algorithm. matt is producing videos for drivers, doug idk anyone can watch his videos driving is a very small part of his videos. the most successful german YT channel is the one which people who don't even like cars watch, I think it's the exact same with doug. you can watch dougs videos without caring about driving at all, without even caring about cars just to see some quirks and features of your favorite status symbol, but the same audience wouldn't have a clue how to enjoy one takes on perfect roads even a part of the customers of the cars which matt reviews won't be able to enjoy one takes because they just want to own that car they don't care how it drives I used to think the same way if I got rich I would have simply bought an LP640 and it wouldn't matter if it drove like crap. the TST one takes are for people who not only appreciate the fast/unique cars but who also enjoy driving. and that's only a small part of the YT audience. it's mostly kids, people who don't even like cars, people who think cars are status symbols, I think drivers are a minority here. it's funny how matt said "maybe I don't interact with the viewers enough" or something like that because he's one of the only people on this platform who actually produces content which the viewers want instead of producing content that makes money or mainstream content to reach a wider audience.
it's the top gear syndrome - top gear wasn't really a car show it was a comedy, traveling and shenanigan show and the car reviews and stig laps were the side dish. that's why they became the most successful show, most of their audience wasn't even into driving and didn't care that much about cars.
I know that this is not going to be popular, but the ability to sit with my kids and watch a video that is not just filled with profanity is a huge part of why I love Doug. His enthusiasm is just infectious, he loves what he doesn’t I love that too.
Doug is the most down to earth automotive RUclipsr.
Him and Scotty Kilmer. If you don’t watch his videos, you got some bingeing to do lol
Fuck it, let’s throw savagegeese in there too. They’re all like that
@@ConLLee and Regular Car reviews 😗
@@ChevyCamaroIsBetter hes funny. I also fuck with thestraightpipes. Throttle house too. We got a bunch of good car review channels that all do their own little spin
Hoovies Garage also.
Omg daddy Doug, untangle your headphones
What if your using Bluetooth 🤔
@@Tuxedorunner then, it wouldn't have a cord.🤫
I know, right?!
It speaks to his brand
@@frankcooke1692 Doug "Your office is fine, why would you need a bigger one?" Demuro. This is why he doesn't have expensive bluetooth headphones, he's likely just good with his money.
I’m disappointed he’s not eating an entire package of Oreos this time.
It was mini muffins last time I believe.. But yes..
@@Wirenfeldt1990 oh i thought it was brownies..hahaha
@@halt6747 Yeah me too haha
It was brownies
Doug's popularity is partially that he's "happy".
And not in a fraudulent way. So many people try to seem way more expressive and cheery on film - we all know Doug is just being himself.
I also like Matt's cynicism compared to most youtubers
Yeah, both these guys are true to themselves and good guys. Doug’s obviously friendlier, but I bet I’d get along great with both of them
Doug is that guy that you can have as a guest in your barbecue party. It's that guy that everyone loves and as soon as he arrives, someone will say "Hey Doug, I'm glad you came!!!" while getting him a beer. And if you are a car guy, it's that friend that you will text him asking how do you lower the back seats of your weird rental car that you got in France, and he will tell you the trick about it straight away. It would be a pleasure to meet you Doug. Same as Matt. They both seem to be very cool guys
Mate, what the fuck are you going on about?
I'll tell you why Doug has taken off. RUclips has LOVED him for years. At one point, every car video I watched on RUclips was followed by a Doug Demuro video. Every Single One. I was so annoyed I made sure not to watch them. I gave in eventually and he does create great videos.
No clickbate titles, what you see is what you get.. no swearing, family friendly, informative, non-political... RUclips / advertisers dream for a content creator.
Elliot Davis Has never asked for subs or likes, either, even considering that statistically speaking, apparently it works quite well.
Doug brought a comedic value to his videos which is why I think he blew up. They're beyond just car videos, they're entertainment. If I'm in bed watching youtube, the only time my girlfriend (who couldn't give two shits about cars) will stop what she is doing and tune into what I'm watching is when she hears Doug's voice.
@@rhysowen9566 Wow...just wow...I don't get it. Comedy? That's like saying a Yugo is a sports car.
@@gt1r then how do explain the downfall of saabkyle?
2:07:15 Tight Shot of rear wheel for parking, Kia Hyundai and Genesis with 360 camera's have it. Mercedes KINDA has is on the newer ones with 360 and I think some GM has it
16 likes no comments, thats just brutal
This is probably Yuri right? I'm starting a car spotting youtube in Toronto. Currently building content before I launch. Give me a hint where I can spot the Prowler ;op
@@dburn4643 dm him on insta, but ik he lives in an apartment
Hi lol
Holy shit almost 3 hours. This and JRE and I'm almost done for the day.
That’s a lot of shiny domes for one day
@@josephregan1007 Winner of the comment of the week trophy right here!
Who’s jre
@@jonj4357 Joe Rogan Experience podcast. A show Farrah has been on at least twice.
Hey matt, dont beat yourself up too much. Ive been around cars my whole life and your my main man for reviews because you present everything i want to know and i like your style. Plus aftering being hit by a buick when i was 17. Your input while having a bad back as well has told me a lot of info i like to know. Keep doing what you do.
@Munshat Rahman It's not a contest. They do different kinds of reviews
nathangreen900 Do you have any good advice for a bad back? I had L3 L4 spinal fusion surgery. It was not as successful as I had hoped.
Doug's quirks/features reviews + Matt's road tests = youtube perfection. They should collaborate.
this is the comment i was looking for. i can't watch Doug's road tests; he does not have the ad lib commentary about the drive that Matt does.
Why is Doug DeMuro so successful...? Because he is very smart in that he has the ability to be analytical about his passion. He reviews the data and then uses it to guide the direction of the channels.
Doug is the type of guy to be my favorite podcast guest.
I would love to see a group podcast one day with Matt, Doug and Mr. Regular at the same time.
Props to you guys for ending the video that way the you guys did. Not a fun matter to talk about but is real. I love to hear y’all’s opinion about the matter and I have now mad respect to you all 3. Thank you!!!
I really appreciate you talking about that stuff at the end. Getting it out there, keeping it on peoples mind's can only help. And your guys' take is refreshingly introspective and self aware yet empathetic. 🙏
@Robert Blackford What specifically, did he say that "trashed" or was unfair criticism toward cops?
@Robert Blackford stereotyping is only harmful to a group of people who didnt choose to be the way they are, thats not the case with cops. they can stop being cops anytime they want
@@TxGearhead at the end he straight up said fuck the police. I wonder who he would call if somebody broke into his house?
@@randysearle2702 Considering he & I are of nearly the same age bracket, he's in L.A., and the way he pronounced it, I'm guessing it's a reference to the NWA song.
@@TxGearhead I'm 39 too bro, and in context that had nothing to do with NWA, before that he was talking about how he believed police brutality was a system that was operating as designed as far as keeping black people down. If you believe that well then I guess that's your opinion and that's fine but it had nothing to do with NWA, when he said Fuck the Police he meant literally fuck the police he doesn't like them. It's all clear in the context of that preceding 5 minutes
One shirt Doug?? Wtf?
oh god that's so kinky!
Doug's a bum.
"When was the last time you saw a Maxima SE with a manual gearbox in operational condition"
Funny story. I just recently bought a 1995 Maxima SE in Ruby Pearl with a manual gearbox back in March from of all things... the original owner (an older lady) who bought it new in 1995. Garage kept it's entire life, body and paint are in great shape minus 25 years of use, interior is nearly immaculate, virtually no rust except for the rad support (basically rust killed these cars). Car had 227k miles on it when I bought it and was still on the original clutch which me & my friend have since verified after replacing the clutch (clutch had Nissan stamped on it lol). The lady who owned this car should give master classes in how to drive a manual, because the clutch still had life left on it (what would have gone on the clutch was the springs), the flywheel was absolutely spotless (my friend just lightly sanded it). Car runs and drives way better than it has any right to and the lady who owned it gave me 10 years of repair bills along with the original window sticker in perfect condition (I nearly fell on the floor when she showed me).
She was going to donate it to charity, but I got the car for $700. Best $700 I ever spent!
weird flex but ok
Amazing. Look what Nissan has become. Such a travesty
The private jet segment is one of the best moment from all the podcasts you've ever done!
The Doug Score gets viewers to the end, that’s the sauce.
I never watch the score and couldn't be less interested. It's the least interesting or useful part.
I always skip the doug score. I love doug but the doug score is often complete bullshit lol
@@jackdren9974 Haha I think the Doug Score falls into a category of things in life I call "So Bad It's Good." At first I hated the Doug score, I agree that is makes no sense. But because Doug is a quirky & fun guy, it works because once I have the expectation that it's bad I go in wondering what random number he will assign cars and just laugh at it.
Doug, the type of guy.
I work with a storyboard artist who drives an early 2000's Maxima with a manual. And 50,000 cigarette butts in the center console
Storyboards are so fucking hard, I get why he smokes. You have do draw & shade really well but you don’t have any time to make it look nice
I was amazed hearing them talk about how Doug interacts with commenters. I've been subscribed to him for at least 3 years and have never seen one of those hearts in the comment threads on youtube that shows that the uploader got involved in a thread. To me it's as if he's never ever looked. Maybe it's only on twitter.
He's on Reddit r/cars pretty much any time his stuff is posted
I've seen that a few times, but he doesn't interact with youtube comments that much and I don't blame him for that (half the comments are always the same overdone "doug the type of guy" jokes). He's much more active on instagram, facebook, twitter, and reddit. I don't comment on his facebook posts much and I've still gotten a reply from him a few times.
@@WillieWonka928D Matt is pretty active on reddit. Usually he checks the thread and posts a few times when a video goes up if there is some interesting conversation brewing. Albeit less-so these days, but still.
Once on reddit I wrote a small criticism after watching one of his videos (I think it was complaining about Doug focusing on the infotainment system for a third of the video). Others started to respond in agreement. To my surprise Doug showed up commenting. He didn’t really directly address my criticism. But wouldnt you know, the infotainment sections of his vids got way shorter right after that :)
@@sleep_sounds I actually felt bad, because I love his videos, but on two ocasions I criticized some of his takes (well mannered opinion, no attacks or anything while acknowledging his good work) and the dude responded like twice on every comment, like a genuine conversation, he explained his points, I said mine and it was incredibly pleasant.
Kudos to Doug, that kind of interacion is pretty much unseen on the Internet.
absolutely one of the parts of Doug's success is his personality, I'm sure many of the subscribers who watch most everything he does share his curiousity and love for cars and seeing them in depth inside and out and that shared passion connects a lot of people to his videos
Zach was waiting for that “THISSS”.
Followed both of you for years, been binging TST podcasts as of late but this was my first time watching the video and it is great! I love how real the two of you are, it has honestly made me like TST even more.
thanks! Welcome to the video side!
I wish someone would laugh at my jokes the way Matt laughs at his own
KKKKHEHHEHEHHEEHHEEHHEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH
It really is one of the most annoying things a human can do.
And Matt wonders why he isn't more popular...
@@richp7457 Its like a even more annoying Seth Rogan laugh.
Man! That was an awesome show Y'all.
Can't wait to see the new studio!
What sets apart Doug’s channel from others is he gives a detailed intro to vehicles one otherwise hasn’t seen, from a “tire kicking” perspective. That and he does have an engaging personality.
Interesting cars, interesting “quirks and features” and an interesting personality.
Yes! I rewatched the old one twice trying to find this. Thought I was going crazy
You're crazy man.
Doug’s dead on about that Civic and the rest of our high school cars. I think it’s safe to say that you guys, and evidently that Civic buyer, got to your money years sooner than your peers. The rest of us are years or maybe even a decade behind being in position to go out and buy our childhood or high school dream cars. We’re just scratching the surface right now.
Matt of Obsessed Garage bought that. It was his THE car in High School.
I genuinely believe Doug is so successful because in his videos you can see his genuine excitement about the cars he's looking at. Something like that which cannot be faked keeps people interested. Just a genuine guy talking about the details that interest him but are generally ignored by 99% of the world.
The three amigos Doug, Jay , and Matt makes some of the best car reviews
LMAO the private plane part had me rolling on the floor. Matt said "PJ's" love you guys
Big time congrats and love for the new channel, looking forward to much more entertaining and technical and hilarious episodes that get my mental gearbox going. Nothing but love to everyone involved.
Love you, Doug! I literally never, ever, miss your content. You're genuine, consistent your format is absolutely for Matt. Hahaha! Keep on keepin' on, Doug!
Also, I guess Matt is pretty cool too. Haha!
This is the best episode of the podcast that I’ve listened to so far. Bravo, gentlemen! 👏🏼
Hanging out with you guys would be amazing. Love listening to the open discussion and all the crazy stories. Hope everyone is staying well!
“That’s almost a show of bad faith” lmao 🤣😂
Made it over! Thanks Zack and Matt for years of great content!
Great podcast! Had me laughing and learned some things too. Anything with Doug and Matt I’m here for. Thanks guys!
Getting into these podcasts for the first time. These are a great to watch/listen. Thanks Matt and Zach for the work you do!
Will never run into you guys in STL, but wish you all the best.
Hey Matt, Always loved the content. You were the early trailblazer and still producing great content and as a member of the car community I just wanted to say I appreciate your time and effort over the years that you have put into videos. Good luck with the car storage/club, I hope it is successful and look forward to seeing the cars stacked high.
One of the best shows ever. Keep up the good work Matt and team.
Doug's reasons for success? Three, in my opinion, that come together beautifully:
1. His personality. Passionate, quirky, infectious, relatable. He's one of us, and his love & excitement of cars transfers to you the viewer.
2. His structure. You know what to expect. "THISSS", which is hilarious. A fun beginning with Quirks & Features that show off his personality. A Doug Score at the end that introduces a competitive & informative component to it. Both the Quirks and the Doug Score encourage me to watch videos of certain cars that I normally wouldn't care about.
3. His knowledge. It's obvious he knows a lot about cars, which only builds as he continues his craft. That knowledge comes through in his videos, which builds trust and legitimacy. I remember when his Rivian and Lucid reviews came out, people were mentioning Doug Demuro's reviews when talking RIVN and LCID stock prices.
I'll tell you right now why Doug gets so many views: FORMAT and CONSISTENCY. People know what they're going to get and he gets into all the weird little details that car guys love. It's both super nerdy and esoteric but also very widely appealing to a huge spectrum of car people.
Best Car Podcast in recent years. I actually laughed out loud multiple times during this. Such an interesting take on everything automobile. With all the Quirks and odd features of the decisions of car manufacturers. Five stars.
Honestly Doug deserves a Carrera GT aka nothing but the best! Such a genuinely great guy!
My dad had a navy blue 2002 Maxima SE that was loaded, 6 spd manual, limited slip differential, bose audio, sunroof and leather. SO AWESOME.
I met Matt once at C&C and it didn’t come to me that, that was his lambo. I was driving a beat up 733i and so when I left I saw the red lambo leave so I followed and looked who was in it and there was Matt. So I followed him to a coffee shop and we talked a bit about cars. He was very impressed with the fact of the condition of that 733i for the price I paid for it. So much so that when a 3.0 CS came in to the same shop he laughed at that guy and said you could have had one of these for cheap. And I’ll have to meet Doug in the future. I hope I run into Matt and Doug in the future.
Laughed so hard at the Italy plane smoking story! LOLOLOL
Doug, as long as there are new cars, you’ll have reviews, and we will definitely watch them
Man you don’t even know how good I slept listening to this podcast, Thanks!!
Matt, I, and I'm sure many many other people very much like you. Doug is definitely my favorite RUclipsr/pro car guy, but you're definitely top 2-3!
The Top Gear thing is deep!! "How to unite car people and non car people"! This is why I love Doug. I currently don't own a car!! Lol
First time listener here. Funny comments and very enjoyable during WFH/Shelter in place in LA. Interesting to learn more about both channels! Keep it up! And Matt’s laugh makes me crack up
Hoperocket 94 welcome to the show!
After that ending I have a new level of respect for you guys. I wish there were a lot more people out there in positions of authority with your outlook regarding overzealous corrupt race inspired enforcement police.
Love Doug and his channel, he's a great guy!
Ah yes! Been waiting for this recording to post!
I feel like I could walk up to Doug and talk to him about anything. His charisma is impressive.
Doug, my friend in high school, in the mid to late 2000s actually had a Reatta with the touch CRT, worked!
seeing doug speaking about the carrera GT with so much star in his eyes is super wholesome
Never thought about it, but I like the decision to make a new channel. Will make it way easier to find the latest episode!
Thank you for having descent audio doug
This podcast is so great and so underrated !
yeah you nailed it, i think Doug makes his videos about what other people want to see. I love the ones takes in a different way because it shows me how a car feels driving. I would say that I would like more from the inside. as that is where I'd be sitting as a driver. I watch one takes to know what it's like to drive a car. I'd like to see more of how it looks to drive it.
Having a podcast channel is nice because for users because most things I don’t want notifications....but a live podcast? Yes please.
doug is such a sport, fantastic guy trough and trough
I will build a early 90's Cavalier Z24 at some point. Thanks for the encouragement.
Matt and Zach: I have a hypothesis of why dougs channel does so well. RUclips stack ranks videos by category and quality in a way that is a blackbox. All of his videos have comments like: “Doug is the type of guy that ”. I think this causes his vides to stack rank higher in the quality score and thus causes his videos to play next when viewing vidoes on other channels. I think this causes him to get more exposure. The community is doing something weird that is accidentally bumping the videos up.
Just heard the audio and subscribed here. Keep them coming.
Welcome! You have some catching up to do.
I just realized the comment on the paseo convertible. I remember seeing about 3 of those in FL and 2 where for sale
Nick Murray and Doug are the best car youtubers to watch. It’s their personality
"All the stupid of that but it's very "Doug"" sums Doug up perfectly.
It's amazing they talked about Saabkyle. Kyle is for everyone. You want to buy a car just watch his review. love him.
Just discovered the podcast. Would love to hear more of Matt's thoughts on politics like what he talked about in the end. I definitely have some stories of encounters myself. One was on the Ben Franklin bridge where a Philadephia cop did a quick movement as if he was going to hit me when I was driving next to him after he and I looked each other in the eyes. Just wanted to say it was good to hear that you're not ignoring it.
I remember seeing a Ford GT for sale with only 3,000 miles in 2007 or 2008 at a Ford dealership in Sacramento for $120,000😵
Aww - the S10 Blazer - My father had one of those, with the 4.3 V6 - The biggest V6 engine in any car! - He loved it so much he even replaced the motor after the first one took a shit. He had that S10 Blazer for decades as a work vehicle! I remember the Black exterior and Maroon interior like it was yesterday! - Man, I love shitty weird cars! Thanks for the feels!
We didn't have a Blazer, but we did have the 4.3 in an S10, if that engine wasn't the most reliable thing
Lmao ill give u that one Zack that fitness model joke was deff funny lol. That was great. I like Doug its really contagious when yas see them all cracking up laughing lol.
Hey Matt, I subscribed so you can do live shows on the channel.
I still primarily listen on my phone (as a podcast) for your reference.
Thanks for what you and Zach do.
Chris Sparke.
That Run the Jewels T-Shirt is the coolest thing in this episode
57:35 read you on jalopnik, and you became my favorite writer, got your book which was fantastic and you go for the wild things
Dougs my favorite guest!
His Bumper to Bumper CarMax videos and articles were the best.
I'm going to move to San Diego with the sole purpose of becoming best friends for Doug...
Amazing podcast
Great show
Tesla just updated their software to display the side cameras when in reverse. Makes seeing the curb very easy like you mentioned.
Sorry Matt & Zack for the "Doug is the Type of Guy" Joke...
But Doug is the type of guy to not untangle his earbud cord...(I'm OCD and his cord tangle is driving me nuts!)...
And as I type, Doug is discussing negative comments...lol
Love y'all!
Thanks Matt. I only listened to the podcasts anyway
I want Doug to review a Morgan Three Wheeler
I remember when aircraft seats had ash trays in them.
Dick Trickle did indeed smoke under caution. Kenny Wallace always said Dick Trickle ran on coffee and cigarettes. He carried a helmet bag and a briefcase to the track. In the briefcase was his stash of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Sponsor at the time was Miller High Life. Oldest NASCAR Rookie of Year at 48 years old.
the discussion on why Doug did so big numbers was super interesting.
There was a 1991 Lumina Z34 with a 5-speed manual for sale last year on my local Craigslist for $4500. Had 50,000 miles on it, black, and....in full 1991 Dale Earnhardt #3 GM Goodwrench regalia. Thing was for sales for 5 months. I sent Dale Jr. the ad listing. No response.
I'm pretty sure i saw that same Fleetwood in monaco a few years back.
I had a 91 beretta GT.. 5 sp 3100.. sorta fun, LOTS of rattling
It's not the algorithm I chose to not click on the videos. And in no way I wish you ill, but I'm glad I'm not the only one that felt that way. I clicked on this video becuase of your guest. I hope things turn around for you, you do have some really good uploads (including this one). 👍
Doug is just keeping it real.
