Thanks guys for covering our journey. Anytime you wanna come hangout at The Block our door is open. Our last building was $13,000 a month. For the record we do not live here 😅 We have stayed at Avenue of the arts hotel for almost 5 years now. We are just car guys wanting to have fun and make epic content. Come on out! Sincerely - Damon
Bro you are killing it. Keep doing what you’re doing 🤙
Y’all are killing it! ❤
Killing it is all that can be said the content that you guys are already bringing from this building is insane with the growth of the team and the purchase of this building its just the beginning of this chapter cant wait to see what you guys bring in 2024 and hopefully come out to meet you guys when you get the retail side of the block up and running keep on grinding we are here for the ride
It would be pretty awesome to see more and more YT channels and personalities visiting The Block and all the guys, girls, and cars there! Excited to see more from you @DailyDrivenExotics
DDE just makes sense in that building, it was faith with them having to leave their old place. Can't wait for them to complete moving in and organizing events at The Block.
And it's not just DDE, it's also Michael Essa closing his shop and moving in with DDE fully committing to the collaboration, I'm stoked to see it, love Mike, Tim and Sean.
Fate?? Not faith?
THIS!!!!
Thanks, English is not my first language.@@LeeQuesada-CoTGaming
same Mike makes DDE look awesome
My attraction to these automotive videos is their family values. Matt Armstrong is so much more because of his dad who helps him build his dreams
Ever since Mike, Tim and Sean became part of DDE I haven't missed a single video. They truly are the missing piece of the puzzle in making the juggernaut that what DDE is turning out to be. I'm super excited to see what they bring moving forward.
Fucking love tim
Same here ! Every morning before work I watch the video
Those three have brought such a fun and knowledgeable side to the DDE content portfolio.
Tim is the best
And Mark he is awesome
Been a DDE subscriber since 2018! This is a huge milestone for them!✅💪🏾
Agreed !
since he was at 30k sub's . Haven't missed a vlog.
@@Milldog2023Prob not 30k here but I still remember when he only had the scud in that old "garage" with the old business partner and his bike. Been a while.
If I guess it was around vlog 005 or right after I started watching... So 2017 or so. DDE has had an insane growth.
me since 2017 lets goo!
@@Milldog2023almost 4m now …
DDE will do Hoonigan proud! What a beautiful tribute to Ken Block! Welcome to the Block!
Definitely better than Wheel Pros Hoonigan.. They're QUICKLY declining...
I wouldn't be surprised if a couple of the hoonigan lads end up at #DDE @@LeeQuesada-CoTGaming
@@LeeQuesada-CoTGaming …who? 😆
DDE will bring sick content from that building
They already are
You mis spelled already are bringing lol
Its the greatest move in car YT history. DDE has stepped up their game since they moved into that building.
@@petejr7774you are not invited to my birthday party, buzzkill
I’m excited guys DDE is already doing great
Mad respect to Damon and Dave, it is a big step-up. It almost seemed like they were starting to grow the team, not much different from Hooigan or Donut where there are different "characters" that can be doing videos. Mike is an amazing addition to the team and I am excited to see what the future of the channel becomes. Damon dreamt of Hooning supercars after watching Ken, and they are building some crazy cars to do it in, so I hope they can live up to the amazing production Ken had with his videos. RIP Ken.
DDE is NOT Hoonigan. DDE is inspired by Hoonigan, specifically Ken Block and the crazy builds he used to swing around closed cities. That's the inspiration Damon has for DDE. Almost as if DDE is the rebel child of Hoonigan in a way, indirectly. Can't compare the two, but they are some of the most entertaining car channels out there. I've been a DDE fan since Damon had 50k followers. Saw their growth all the way. All their peaks and valleys. This trajectory they're on is incredible. So much room for growth now with the new HQ.
same here ..we were just 30k followers and now .... almost 4mill nice to know if you going down the street and someone sees your hoodie...they know what it stands for
DDE will carry on with Ken's memories. In my opinion. DDE is the best to lease that place and keep Ken alive in spirit. Damon is going to kill the internet with views now. The other car channels are like DUCKIES. Super happy for DDE and keeping hoonigan going.
Cleetus is a duckie?
@@dannietucker7187bro Cleetus is what Damon dreams to be but never will cleetus is just that guy love both their videos but cleet is just in a different category
@@dannietucker7187 Dude Cleetus, Whistlindiesel etc are excellent in their own way as they do completely different content. In the supercar segment DDE is and always will be the best.
I think @DailyDrivenExotics is currently one of the best automotive channel out there!! with the kind of the cars they have and the builds they are doing and also the ideas of future projects its just crazy how far the boys have come!! I think from now on DDE will be just going up with the Gumball plans and all the relationship they have build with other fellow influencers .DDE will sure bring crazy content from that building. With the addition of Mike, Tim, Sean and Mark its just going to get even more crazier. I am currently addicted to their channel and love what they are doing .Love the boys hope they get more success these coming years!!!
Been unique for years. rest are still doing white wheels and wraps
Michael Essa hiring Damon and Dave and then getting the old Hoonigan building is awesome. 😅 DDE is giving off fantastic vibes right now.
Huh? Mike Essa Didn't hire DDE
DDE hired Michael Essa, get it right 😅
It was a running joke a few months ago on both channels. Just before Damon took a little vacations before the holidays.
@@NovaRedHead should have put quotations around that part then I would have understood what you were meaning
And that is how you know half of you don't even know about DDE or the running jokes...you all stay with the trend and comenting on news you don't even have any clue.... FML .... good one @novaredhead
DDE is the future. He's got the RIGHT crew now and the perfect building. Sponsors are coming and it's about to get WILD
Oh HELL YEAH BABY!!! AS THEY SAY THE BEST IS YET TO COME!!!👍😎💯🇨🇦♥️🇺🇸🎉
I like the fact that you guys are talking about the DDE move and how positive it is. As a DDE fan, I was worried people who didn't "know" Damon and Dave would think they were riding on the back of Hooigan leaving. Great conversation boys.
I agree 💯! If you know them, you know it's going to be all DDE doing what they do! So pumped for them.
I agree 100% Damon and Dave are killing it and they deserve all the success they get, and Essa is an amazing wealth of knowledge but one of the unsung heros at DDE is that kid Mark ever since he got there 2ish years ago DDE has been producing daily videos somehow I think that kid does way more than we think behind the scenes
Is this Mark? ysob😂
@@Carbonated_13lmao 😂 it is a mark move
@@Carbonated_13 I wish I was 6'6 like him🤣😆
I agree with you sir, I noticed Mike and Tim seemed to not like being on camera at the beginning they were awkward, I think Mark brought them out their shells
Jokes aside😂,
Mark does do a lot from what ive seen from the stories channel
Damon and dave can enjoy more time at home now
And he shoots, edits and produces for the main and stories channel sometimes
DDE is next level now.
Pretty sure the collaboration between Michael Essa and DDE is the only way this was possible. Any way you cut it best collaboration DDE has done was bringing Mike on board. Great team. 👍
It's weird because I was upset when they moved on from team karnage...but I couldn't imagine this journey without Mike Essa...he is the best!
I agree, without a full time team to build the cars, DDE wouldn't be able to take on as much as they have. The building is their content so it pays itself to have a team
@@petejr7774 Fuck Team Karnage. I guess you haven’t figured out that Dean Karnage and HyperNFT used DDE to get Dean popular on RUclips and sell crypto before they ditched DDE, launched Dean’s channel, and then HyperNFT bought a huge collection of Hypercars for Dean to use on his channel. They used DDE.
Mike Essa is the truth. Buddy is no joke when it comes to automobile fab, especially Supercars.
@PowerstrokeSynd Mike is the only reason I watch dde, not interested in dde's clickbait bs, would be good if Mike had his own channel for all the project work he does that's the only dde content I watch
DDE is on top right now, I’m literally waiting each day for an upload from them, no one really does it like them tbh. Who else goes crazy like them with their super/hyper cars ??
Nobody drives their cars! Strad barely uploads, Shmee drives his cars 5mph under the speed limit once a month, not too interested in tj hunt rn... Idk DDE is definitely on top
@@KontenderTV BALDMAN's content is absolute 🤮🤮💩💩 and he barely uploads bcoz he is a lazy as*
Been watching DDE since Dave came on the channel .. there is NO ONE more suited to take over the Hoonigan burn yard than them. The content since they've taken it over has been absolutely epic. Great topic of discussion guys.
I think my first DDE video was when Dave got his Lamborghini rear ended on the freeway. Crazy how far they have come.
DDE IS FOREVER Just spending time with the Fam🤙
Damon is a marketing genius. He fully understands what people want by listening to them. Dave is really business savvy. Damon knew driving video's can only get you so far. Also burying old beefs was a strong move. Watching and learning from the Gumball Rallies doing worldwide events brought new people. Getting the Block was a brilliant idea and perfect timing. We will see less n less of Damon and dave but the channel won't skip a beat because it will always feel like those two are always there.
I could watch Mark, Mike, Tim and Sean shenanigans for hours. All 4 are amazing additions to the crew
So pumped for DDE! They are definitely taking it to the next level...and how much Damon loves and adores Ken...its like ment to be!
DDE is a force to be reckoned with. And it’ll be. Good to see them grow.
If DDE renovate the space correctly and utilise the space with a destination merch store,event space etc. this move can take them to the next level.
Also on the point about Damon and Dave being on the channel, this move will in time bring more employees etc , more content. I think eventually you could have a dedicated SHOP channel. Mike, sean and Tim have already shown they can carry the channel with the same view numbers for mikes build series.
Mike joining DDE was ready the turning point. They had the vision a long time ago with bringing dean and race team into the mix but it couldn’t work out as the race team is a full time commitment in itself.
Mike is an incredible driver and mechanic so he c an teach and do the racing part and build and fab crazy cars! His version of the Ferrari is gonna blow the Aronn version out the water.
Imagine DDE x GINTANI turbo kits or exhaust systems, ESSA branded merch and so much more
@@tomektomek9836 all of these should happen!
DDE stands on its own.. I'm excited for the sic content they're gonna bring us..
Tim Mark, Mike and sean are already great characters in the channel
DDE crew right now is 🔥
DDE is the perfect ones to step in and keep the dream alive! Id love to see some of the Hoonigan crew over at DDE. DDE is amazing and really paying homage and doing it their own way!
DDE is a cash flow business. Equity is low, but revenue and expenses are high. They are grinding hard, but they need to acquire some assets though to sell off so they don’t have to post every day. Stradman as an accountant knows he needs to build equity as you never know…
That’s a good take, although I think they relatively have some good assets (at least Damon) he said he had 1M to spend, and he still leased the senna, evo2 is frozen cash and some other cars I think too, but yeah overally they have a lot of current liabilities to pay up
Then it’s not DDE???? Surely you know that stands for DAILY Driven Exotics. I would not want to be a Stradman when there’s DDE
@@ddominique__730 your right. There is only one DDE and I enjoy my daily dose! It is awesome they exist!
I think that is the reason people like watching them. A new video every day is what makes me want to watch becuase their videos almost never miss so taking the stradman approach would not fit their style of videos but i understand what you mean
@@Nisse2187DDE treats each video as a new episode the to be continued type videos definitely help the consistent views
Love the BLOCK reference! Ken as everything to Damon!
DDE is taking the next of growth. We understood RUclips creators have to hype up situations for the storyline. Their whole team grinds nonstop behind the scenes.
You guys killed it on here! I’ve been starting to recognize a lot of weird, interesting things all over RUclips
I gotta say I have been watching DDE since 2017, and their content has just gotten better and better, especially in the last 2-3 years. In my opinion they are the best automotive content creator there is
Damon and Dave have created pure magic. And Mike Essa along with Tim make that magic pop. DDE For Life.
I'm thankful for the crew of DDE
Been following DDE since 2015, amazing to see the growth and development of the channel. Keep it going guys 🔥🔥💯
Bang on. Mike and The Block are worth 10 Bugatti’s. DDE are levels ahead.
DDE is absolutely killing it right now and there is no ego with Mike they actually joke around and say that he's their new boss. I really do think that they are going to do great things I mean they are kind of like hoonigan in a lot of ways but they do it with supercars. They truly were some of the first to actually do that type of shit with supercars.
James doesn't do anything unique to follow along to for a daily upload cadence. Wrap, exhaust, wheels, and sell 2 months later, car deliveries for cars he doesn't own, I'm going broke videos, endless I can't afford my Bugatti videos and proceeds to lease a Koenigsegg. Its boring content. What DDE is doing is engaging to say the least and makes it entertaining to follow along to daily.
so true, how many videos can that guy do with " guess what was delivered to my house" plus James is creepy he gives off caffeined up kids tv show host vibes and dating a girl thats just out of high school is beyond creepy
BALDMAN content has become boring🤮🤮 PIZZA TYCOON my *s*😂🤣🤣
DAILY DRIVEN EXOTICS is thousand times better👍👍
DDE makes stradz look like a driveway queen
I stopped watching James honestly because of his videos about being broke then buys another then repeats the same process. Don't get me wrong I like James but yeah his video were the same
Cut James some slack guys, he's a one man operation and has paid his dues in spades. Sure his videos might not be as fast pasted as DDE but you have to respect his grind and what he has accomplished.
Essa is moving his shop to the Block. I think DDE could start making people as customers by customizing customer vehicles. You hire a graphic artist and a wrap team, you can start having fans bring their cars in to get customized, maybe even have Essa work on their vehicle.
I don’t see them doing any cars other than their own.
@@Bobwa2008yeah man agree, Mike and boys have their hands full keeping the DDE fleet on the street 😂
They might only do this is the build itself is interesting enough that they could make a video series on it
@@Bobwa2008 you say that now though. What if they didnt need PFS. It makes sense to do it all in-house since PFS is always busy and they call in "Favors" repeatedly, also it would allow livery changes pretty quickly. To keep that person busy full-time you could take on friends' wraps, and it's only a matter of time before you start taking customer cars. That's an easy way to expand the business imo.
Luke is the heart of this video, first time on the channel and I like how Luke is keeping the conversation alive better than the rest
I think Hoonigan is going the similar way of the DC brand. It used to be a cool smaller hip specialty brand....but then it got too big and you started seeing it in places like costco and Walmart and then eventually fizzled away.
Ive been a DDE subscriber for 8 years now and what's happening now is the most exciting thing. That channel is just getting better and better by the vlog
DDE now the last year has been tops for me as a mechanical engineer and with ESSA and the team coming to the channel it's getting better by the day . I can't wait to see what they will do
Is great that DDE will this big step star brings almost all RUclipsrs together 👍👍👍👍
I love DDE I'm one of their biggest and longest watching fans and I can't wait to see what they do with the new headquarters
UTAH BOiiiiiiiiS !!!Great content guys and this colab on the mic!! DDE is better than most programs on TV honestly
The photographer and videographer in me wants to correct that we see your light in your window! I've thought this more than once. On the topic, DDE made a incredible decision and I am loving EVERY video they do now.
This was a recommend video of a dde video…. I’ve followed them for a long time and Ken is the whole inspiration behind dde and the channel but with the hype of it being an expensive super car ripping it ….. it’s a massive investment and such a smart place for them to keep Ken’s legend alive as a homage to the great tyre slayer Ken block
I say you guys bring DDE to do an interview ❤😂 that will be dope
I watch both DDE and TJ on a daily basis. What they do is my dream as in my spare time I look for cars online and do dream buildouts on them on my computer. I’ve literally modified ever car I’ve ever owned and I’m almost 38 but unfortunately I was injured in an accident thanksgiving ‘22 and can’t work on cars anymore. Glad I was able to do all the work I’ve done to all my vehicles but especially having had the most modified and custom 1 off parts for my jeep (15k just in mods) a few years back. I’ll always have a passion for cars.
DDE has been my main goto channel for years now. Im super stoked with the direction the company is going and the growth with the guys. Its really cool to see.
I was skeptic at first of your new podcast, but I'm loving it. Please keep doing this!
I love that the moves DDE are making got people talking about them. Them getting this place is honestly a fitting place for the passion they have. Like they're not caged anymore.
have a lot of respect for DDE. hats off to them for what they have achieved. my fav yt channel.
You guys are awesome. Love the video and love how you are giving awesome respect to the DDE group that is amazing. Also love that they have taken over the Hoonigan building and love also how they have called the back area the "Block"!!!
You guys nailed it! If there's one team best fit to take over the Hooningan HQ it would be DDE !!
Loving the new DDE HQ, Hopefully they can get it built up quickly enough so we can see there vision of what they have planned. With the big builds they are planning on doing they are ordering parts now, so when they are ready to start the builds they have the parts ready, as thats what has slowed down the F12 build is waiting on custom parts.
Mike essa took the channel over the top. Amazing guy
Love the podcast and your take on DDE making moves to the new HQ! Pumped to see where DDE goes from here!🥳 Keep crushing the content guys!👏🏻
Its pretty sweet so see this kind of content continue, Its tough sometimes when there is a shift and there isn't another group to capture the vibe and keep it going In this case DDE has been doing a great job of keeping that feeling alive and making the viewer feel a part of that transition.
Their slogan should be “life is too short to drive reliable cars” 🤣
Just gotta say boys, absolutely loving this new content you guys are putting out as a group! Keep up the good work!
Would love to see your take on Cleetus McFarland. From the beginning to now . His circle has gotten so big .
This is a great podcast guys. Really dig your insight into whats going on behind the RUclips scenes!
really just straight to the facts. positive and negative about DDE. thanks for featuring DDE. subscribed.
What DDE is doing is awesome. their vidoes were good but they just got like 10x more interesting. Love those guys
I’ve watched DDE from day one. Along with hoonigan , and now it’s like both in one. Super epic. 👊🏻🤘🏻
Love DDE, best channel on RUclips.
DDE Everyday Crazy Baby!!!!
DDE will carry the hoonigan culture alive even if it’s in supercars 😂❤
Because racecar man!! Haha.. TheStradman is also opening a pizza store!!!
The best thing ever was parting ways with that other FD drifter, you can tell those dudes got tired of the energy Damon and Dave brought, and bringing Mike Essa along.
Yeah those guys were cringe. You see them driving that HyperNFT guys cars around like a Dollar Tree DDE ... It's embarrassing
Y’all need longer videos y’all are great at this!
Great to see a video where DDE isn’t getting burned at the stake but getting recognized for what they’re trying to create. Well done crew
❤DDEFAM❤
Great Video Guys !
I think this DDE expansion / THE BLOCK - will grow , just like when
Cleetus McFarlan built the
Freedom Factory
Cheers From Toronto
Big respect showing love to the DDE Crew 👊😎 who know the boys might build a studio at The Block and you guys can drop in for a pod one day 👍
The Hoonigan guys are the ones that told them about the building and have even showed up in the new dde videos
I am waiting for DDE notification every day, their videos are addictive
It's dope how they've Damon and Dave found balance over the last year, solid team fulfills the dream..
I don't love DDE, but this makes a lot of sense for them especially since Hoonigan isn't going to be the same anymore.
I think yall are right. DDE has taken the baton from hoonigan and they're now the channel I watch for car hooning fun. I still enjoy hoonigan videos but the excitement from the daily transmission and build breakdown days are gone. DDE now has that excitement for me.
Mike ESSA IS THE MAN! Can’t forget about Tim and Sean that’s Mike Essas team! All of 3 have been great additions to DDE’s channel
Mark, too, has been putting a lot of work behind the camera and editing.
Wheel Pros owns the building it used to be one of their production shops, that how the Hoonigan relationship happened initially. The DDE schedule is two weeks on two off, Dave and Damon alternate if possible.
DDE is the best and ultimate car creators #DDE #BecauseRacecar
I think dde is gonna have some amazing content coming out of the new shop... Good podcast I just subbed
Mad respect for the team of DDE..
I'm excited for DDE!
Where can I find the podcasts. I’ve been searching everywhere and can’t seem to find it
Dde and cleetus are the automotive goats of youtube
DDE FAN we here representing THE BLOCK ...❤ KB43VER
Dde is the best automotive content for exotic cars
DDE! DDE! DDE! DDE! great conversation. DDE is about go next level. I suspect with Mike closing his shop, DDE will go full garage eventually
mike essa is the single greatest addition to the channel next to dave!
Lovin the podcast's boys keep this going.
the block family are now doing their own stuff BLOCK HOUSE RACING it's good to see them racing together and keeping the legacy alive i can see scotto hert vin and the guys that left doing something together cheers from down under
Great video Gents. DDE will keep it going. Can you please send me a link with what you use for the podcast. Mic, sound etc. Thank you.
Most people hate.. thank you for being great people
Hell stoked for DDE and the new content has been mint
When and if Damon and Dave leave has been something on my mind because they obviously can’t keep doing it their whole life but they can still be apart of it. But who knows maybe they will keep doing what they do best and keep grinding till they can’t physically do it anymore.
Sorry to burst anyone's bubble- Mike is moving to the DDE HQ, leaving the garage he's been working in for about 20years. They showed him moving his trophies to his new office at the HQ
