we need Danny to tell stories as well
For a little while, he did. On his RUclips channel he did a bit called "show me your ride" where he would talk about other people's builds.
not only Danny, but Steve from Welderup as well! They must have a few good stories in their back pockets.
We are in Colorado filming the final episodes of Car Trek 6. I think you'll love it.
Hey Ed! Please reply on my comment man.
Ed can u please make a video about Disney Pixar Cars Franchise.
I’m super excited I can’t wait to see. It’s been awesome to see y’all grow into what it is now. Thanks for the content Ed 🙏🏼
Can you please tell us about the cars
Hopefully it's not under a similarly ridiculous production schedule that was described in this video!
It's good to see Richard Rawlings and Steve Darnell doing their own things on RUclips. I find the RUclips stuff much more entertaining and real than the TV shows
The Gas Monkey garage has been building a RUclips for months now. Their videos are one of the best on RUclips. It's far better then the show.
Agreed! You get to see a lot of the more raw stuff here on YT, I feel like large scale production companies are after a look that's too "polished and perfect" a lot, when it's not totally neccesary to build viewership. Me personally, I like a more real production than a polished one.
@@Kintizen I got burned out by Richard cranium Rawlings, especially with all of that 'Woooooo' BS. But if you tell me he's easier to watch on RUclips, I'll give it a listen. Ya think it's worth it, or is he still cringey?
@@77yogurt he is somewhat less cringy than before. He certainly is in love with his hair. Edit: we get to see his really hot wife 😐
Nevermind, I just watched a few minutes of one of his videos and I'm not tryna be a dick but I can't tolerate Richard or his personality.
I think Danny Koker would be a good story teller.
Man, the stories he could tell!
Pretty cool dude with history and a gift of gab.
Had a car built by his crew in tribute to a friend.
Edit: s8e12
He’s be incredible,
You should see if he’s up for a storytelling session
That's all he has is a loud mouth. Doubt he can even change oil.
@@joshuagibson2520 Damn, jealous much?
He really said "hursts" instead of hearses. More than once.
This is one of those guys at a party like "yea ya know the Yankees wanted to take me in the 1st Round out of high school but I felt so passionate about serving my country I joined the Coast Guard instead".
Ho DAMN thats good
All my friends from the gym have tv shows and I am the expert and trainer that offers them expertise but the tv show producers keep stoppong me from completing the car of the company I own.
I've done Valet work it's kinda hard work for what they pay u ...I give our guy points trying leverage in TV multimedia
RUclips's automotive content creators are far better than what you see on TV or any of these reality shows. I find the later has far too much artificial suspense/deadline focus - the editing makes benign situations look like conflict.
If a TV show has "REALITY" in it its the farthest thing from reality there is!
This seemed more like a commerial for Glossit, they anything else. I am sure most people knew the quality of work done on theses shows was only for the camera.
I got on here to say exactly that. Unfortunately this episode of car stories is just clickbait.
you might be surprised how many people dont have a clue.
Met Steve from Vegas Rat Rods At the Chevron in bailey Nevada. He and his whole crew stopped and talked to a bunch of guys from my golf team for at least 5 to 10 minutes. They were super humble and really cool. He is definitely the real deal
This why guys like Derek Bieri from Vice Grip Garage on RUclips are killing it right now. A real, genuinely nice guy with a family doing what he loves. No bullshit or fakeness.
A guy has to agree 😆
I dunno that whole traveling 600 miles seems like BS sometimes lol
it cracks me up how the Count wears muscle shirts but doesn't have the guns to match
Also , the headband ! LOLOLOL
He's like an 80s hair metal guitarist. Small caliber guns, but stunning locks.
Stick to RUclips. You control your content and schedule.
i think everyone knows by now that reality tv is anything but. the only reason they still exist is because the people that create it and the people that pay for it are completely clueless about what people actually want to watch. i havent had cable or netflix or hulu in years and i dont miss it. theres so much legitimately good and real content on youtube that i couldnt watch everything i wanna watch if i tried.
I don’t want to believe that Ryan’s paint jobs, on Counting Cars, were half assed for tv. Not always my taste, but appeared to be true art.
I think youtube would be a better opportunity than going to traditional TV. Not only do you have full control of your content you also have a direct access to your audience
"Good enough for camera" sums up Vegas and their cars pretty well
This looks like an excellent way to start the morning.
Hurst = Custom Shifters, Linda Vaughn....
Heasre = Coachbuilt Funeral Wagon
Rich has been chasing fame for years, this was just a way to name drop and plug his new show. In the Vegas car scene, Gloss-It is not a household name.
Amen. Dude Blows
Name dropping and promoting own business and dreading his "friends" all have a tv show.
Serious question: All in all, was the business gain from the TV exposure worth the sacrifice?
I can't speak for these shows but I can speak about an Aussie company with a reality TV spot and the answer for them is a resounding yes. Then again I know an American company that didn't really pick up that much from a season they did a few years back. I think it is very dependent on your business and remember they get paid pretty damn well if the show is a hit and gets continued past season 1.
I guess just look where American Chopper is now. They were the biggest there ever was on reality TV.
I'm pretty sure it's completely on the business and how solid it is to start with and how good it is at leveraging the publicity.
@@JSchroederee Yes and nop, a lot depends on the personalities of the owners and staff (trust me, that is critical) and the nature of the business along with the willingness of their clients to be a part of the whole shitshow. And trust me, filming for reality TV is a shitshow that has a considerable impact on your day-to-day operations which is something you need to take into account when deciding whether to renew or not.
@@carl4043 the problem with AC is that it was a legit bike shop before they became a show. Some of these shows like Counting Cars wasnt a legit shop and he made money from promoting his restaurant and becoming a tourist destination and selling merch. I also dont believe he didnt get paid some money.
I think the youtube option is the best. You can control the work and schedule. It doesn't surprise me that production companies do shotty things. It's no different in corporate America, the big business says "do it this way." you reply "That's not the right way." and they say "doesn't matter, it needs to be done now, we're moving ahead." Then a little time down the road when problems arise, "Who's to blame?" comes up. There used to be a pride about craftsmanship in America and people would love it because they could count on it being built right the first time. Now it's corporations that don't understand what they build calling the shots. All they understand is F'ing wall street and what makes share holders happy. That's what's wrong with things like this. That's why America lost that handbuilt edge our previous generations had.
Rollie is the most relatable peson on the show honestly.
2-3 years ago when I was in Vegas on my yearly trip , I was like oh I wanna go see these shops. So took a cab over to kounts cars , which is off of industry road back in the industrial area and down the road from spearmint rhino strip club. I paid my money and toured the place and they were all nice. And then I asked one of the kounts people where WelderUp was and the guy was cool enough to drive me over there since he was leaving too. And I had never met the guy before this encounter. I then spent some time over at WelderUp and looking at the cars. You could tell that they did precision work as far as fabrication and paint , but somehow made it look like it wasn’t supposed to be , kinda genius in my opinion. But yeah that car community there seemed nice
We have youtube with dozens of really good channels and talented people, way better and way more entertaining than those shows. But it's those tv shows that lead me to those youtube channels and got me hooked with cars.
I know that one fella out in Norfolk lost his business when he finally ran the "production company" off. They were wanting him to cut corners on customers cars "for TV".. one car ended up in a bad accident and they sued the "production company"..
Dan lost his business ?
It's way more fun to watch a car being built on RUclips for months than in 1 episode on TV.
I love how ya helped Rolly out! He got the job you were offered? 💙💙💙💙
Funny thing- a buddy of mine lives across the street from Glen T. (he has been on CC and other shows) outside Vegas. Met him, saw some of the stuff he was working on. We evened fixed an issue on my F350 right there in the street. Glen even allowed me to take pics and shared them with my car buddies. Super cool, nice guy
As so many will tell you, it’s better to do it on your own and struggle for awhile. Then blow up quickly through a company. You’ll make more in the end. If you’ve been a company for 15 years keep being your own brand and your own platform. That’s the beauty of RUclips.
You know homeboy loved that Las Vegas TV Thing..
I have to say Steve is a completely genuine person. I was there for my birthday and he took a few minutes out of him loading up a couple 50gallon drums to take a picture and talk with me. Really cool great guy.
I remember years ago seeing a car at a show that was a Monster Garage feature car. It was a total POS because just like with Counting Cars it had to be done within a time that would have made a perfect build impossible. It just had to look good on tv. The guy who owned the car said it took two weeks of additional work beyond when it was shown as complete on the show just to get it to make it more than around the block and for most things to actually work. He said there were places that weren't going to be shown on tv that were unfinished, unpainted or covered in overspray and that it was an electrical nightmare.
I'm in no way implying that any shop which gets a tv deal typically does shoddy work but that the projects done for the show can't be done right with the budget and time limitations placed on them. I'm sure they would never dream of delivering that quality work to an actual customer and if they didn't normally do great work they wouldn't have gotten the attention of tv producers.
Next thing you know we'll discover a lot of buildings on tv and in movies are actually just a facade.
From what I understand, Fantomworks and Bitchen' Rides basically gave the Producers the option to either film and stay out of the way or don't come. Dan I believe was the one sending the film to the Production Company.
I really liked Fantomworks. He seemed to be a perfectionist, but TV demands kept getting in his way. I also think the "OMG, it HAS to be done by next week!" deadlines that is so hokey on other shows didn't work for him, because I saw vehicles in the shop for nearly a year before they got done. I think he told the production company to GTFO.
@@61rampy65 the build clock was one of the things I wish the rest would do.
Steve's contract required him to say
baaad-aaaaass 125 per episode.
Watching Richard on RUclips and Steve on RUclips is so much better. They are in their own element and you can see a genuine person not a TV personality! And it's like watching a whole new show with someone you've never seen before!
What is your favorite car reality show?
Counting cars.
Car Trek
Gas Monkey Garage
The one where a guy who owns F-40 motorsports In Glastonbury CT. restores,buys and consigns auction cars.
@@GreeneGuyTV JDM Legends
Another reason that I love being an individual You Tuber. Thanks for the story and the experience, and most importantly the perspective. Great video.
I work in the oil and gas industry, I know guys that worked with the crew on " Black gold" show was fake as hell, cherry picking guys from rigs " you look like a what people think what a roughneck should look like ". Bring them to a single rig just for filming. All the on screen drama was all BS. One guy said he met Brandon after the show was cancelled. story goes Brandon made his roughneck wages on top of 100k tru TV was paying them. Not a bad payday.
I always wondered why Steve still had cars from the show he built for other people.
Same for Gas Monkey. "Sold" cars always popping up in the background and when they get noticed they say "we bought it back... blah blah blah...". The charade is up, just build cool stuff and drop the feel-good stories.
Bad Chad did an interview explaining how none of the cars were actually owned by the people who they had on the show supposedly building for them. He owned them all. Keeps down liability.
I had a feeling that corners were being cut. Also wondered how practical the builds were over time.
Gloss It blows like a 3 dollar Vegas Buffet.
This is great. Would love to hear more of the behind the scenes stories of these automotive shows.
What happened when Rolli left the show?
You mean reality shows are staged/scripted?
I remember the horror stories that came out after Pimp my Ride, so none of this surprises me.
Slap 24 inch spinners on everything and TVs in the mud flaps. Ready for the camera
@@BLdontM Yo dawg!
Perfect subject. This is the reason I love RUclips. Screw cable TV shows. I just can't do it...
worked with matrix paint when painting and doing body work for a company called bushtec we done trailers that motorcycles carry behind them for stuff
I get more out of watching Vinwiki and other youtube car guys then a TV show. I'm not even a car guy I just like hearing the experiences.
I think gloss it should make it a RUclips show like how car trek is I watch that over any other car show on tv
What? Not all that glitters is gold? No way.
This is why I like RUclips like skid factory because it's RUclips they are building actual cars, the car has to work it has to look good in person. There's no production company saying that's good enough, or this has to be done this way.
My favorite car shows right now are the ones on Netflix. They do a good job of pulling you into the show to keep watching. Sometimes it's very apparent when production takes a huge part in the show
Rust valley restorers well several times during the first season watching it I had to shut it off several times cuz Mike wouldn't stop whining about his money like the other show with Gotham garage on it I forget the name of it I stopped watching it completely because they were going to screw up a 46 Woody
We need Rolly to tell his story
good to listen stories about shows i grew up watching. I love counting cars.
They beeped the word “Ass” 😂🤣
Not much information regarding what he saw
Meh
Damn i love counting cars it was a good shows but that crazy that they barely made money and finished projects 😩😥 but overall good shows
It's like everywhere else in America...word. My friends think I'm off for a wild time when I visit friends in Vegas, but at most I probably spend one night in a week at a casino on the strip.
It's great that people can make their own video productions, the TV industry sounds terrible by all accounts.
Man, there is too much “detailing” companies in the US
And they are all over priced
Great video, I think this confirms what car guys already knew. All these reality car shows are made for normies, not car guys. I hate them, haven’t watched them in a long time. Go to RUclips and find honest content, yea there’s a lot of bullshit car channels in RUclips as well to sift through.
That’s why we watch car trek, roadkill, gears & gasoline etc. yes it’s a show but it’s more “real”.
TV shows only build cars up to the point they look good on camera and nothing else, and as long as Joe Average is impressed that's all the TV executives want? Well, at least Pimp My Ride, definitely, 100%, honest and true, put all their money and time into making functional cars as opposed to awful rolling advertisements that definitely didn't have to be pushed into venues because they couldn't even run...
Too bad about "Welderup ", love what Steve builds.
To bad you didn’t have a host that’s from one of the reality car shows that this talks about not just someone on here promoting their own product talking in second person about others experience about tv shows
Gloss It ad. All my friends have tv shows and I wrote Ed a letter to talk on RUclips
Thanks for another interesting and informative video
I’ve met Steve a handful of times. He signed the dash of my diesel rat rod
I just need him to stop saying Nevada wrong on his ads
Love Counting Cars and anything involving Danny Koker
Good video, and amazing behind the camera truth about shows.
Soooo Ryan is not an expert on paint he seems pretty damn knowledgeable. Makes no sense that Ryan could not just be the expert lol
Any of these shows don’t give the exposure I’d want
I love shows like this! I currently enjoy watching Fun Pals Three on same called channel!
Danny is the one that had the Dracula TV show. Not his father. You would think a "friend" would know that. Honestly this is 8 minutes of this guy just having an ego. Not really any story telling at all. Just i know this this, this is what i know, i know this person, i did this, i did that, they talked to me because i know so much.
If these people only knew his reputation around Vegas 😂😂😂 (Rich, not Danny)
@@tintshady2049 Well he acts like he is the most famous car guy in the world. Is even friends with a car guy that is actually famous and yet doesnt know a basic fact about the guy lmao. But thats ok. he is so well known it doesn't matter.
@@WhatAboutRC Yeah, so well known... to latch on to anyone that can help put a dollar in his pocket...
@@tintshady2049 I'm from Vegas and only moved out of state 2 years ago and I gotta say... I haven't heard of him lol. Danny on the other hand is an awesome dude. Danny is the one that should be here story telling.
I live just and 45 minute to hour drive from Vegas. About 30 minutes from Spring Mountain Raceway.
Cool story man...loved counting cars and respect The Count....
Kinda knew most of these things however the whole fake customers paying thing was interesting but makes sense that's what sponsors are for
Ah man i was hoping this was gonna be The Count 🙁
3:25 Depends on which direction you drive. Most of "off the strip" Vegas is a crime-ridden shithole.
Wow I had no idea the life of a Vegas reality cars show guys where so stressful and and difficult , just terrible those 8 hour days back to back how did you survive
Bitchin' Rides is my favorite. They are in Utah and not Vegas but I wonder if they are affected similarly? I wouldn't think so as many of their cars receive car show awards.
If the shops on those shows actually controlled the show, there would be way more cussing.
I should move to Vegas
That is the one thing I was not a fan of with mainstream car "reality" shows is nothing seemed to flow like a real build. Sure hiccups happen BUT it is easy to go "AHH NO." That said, this is not to take away from these individuals' skills it is just is sad seeing things like that.
About Ike Texas hardtails rick portrayed as a rude boss but Rick Fairless is not anything like the show he is nice as can be
Love danny don t want to see this if its bad
Amazing story teller
More of this please
TV…… how the hell is that still a thing 🤣?
Can’t wait to see Car Trek 6 :)
I can sleep better seeing Danny with out a bandana
Hmm, not sure the comments section is going quite the way Rich had hoped . . .
You mean those "reality shows" arent real?? Ya dont say!!!
That is why I made fun of reality TV with the movie Wilderness Survivor the Game which makes fun of survivor the movie is on my channel.
Visiting the so-called shops of these shows is so disappointing. A couple of cars and a lot of merchandise. Welder Up does have some semi cool shirts and gear. Stuff like you see at Deus ex Machina
WelderUp does have some of the cars on display though in a neat fashion.
wow! I'm heart broken to hear this. i was a big fan of the show. :(
Everything for TV or movies is that way. If you ever see some cars from movies or TV shows in person they’re usually pretty rough and much of everything is just for show.
They’re selling a story and a show. And it needs to get done quick and cheap. So, things get done to where it’ll tell the story and look good on camera since making something into a high level show car is a lot more work and won’t really look different on the show.
But, the actual stuff the shop does for real customers is good so no need to be disappointed there.
You don't know me ed!
The old "exposure bucks" scam..
The cool thing about being independent is no one can tell you what to do. Don’t sign contracts!! There are other ways to share your passion and shower in your wealth
Lol its was a commercial about gloss it with a badas clickbait lol.... like i was there amwith danny but let me tell you about us lol cool story bro
Jealous of his "friends" with tv show much?
Whatever happened to John ficaras episode talking about topgear?
