Doug the type of guy to throw the audio equipment in a pool before he starts the podcast.
🤣🤣🤣
The bro just needs to turn on the sound compressor and it will make everything louder and clearer. I don’t know unless if there’s an entire dog inside the microphone. Either that or their microphone box can’t process all three mics.
It's literally for one minute shut up
You guys need to be showing photos full screen. Showing a photo with you guys in the frame is not doing you guys any favors. I had to google the bmw V16 on my own computer to see what you guys were talking about
Praying you can recover from this quickly. So sorry you had to do that 😔
@@thomasbodoczy895we’re giving them much needed advice. If they want to the podcast to do good (which we all do) they need to do these simple fixes to be competitive.
THIS
They need to just not talk about photos. The audio-only version, i.e. the actual podcast feed is pointless half the time
Doug is the type of guy to rent a convertible Mustang on his European trip.
power move
Probably in a walkable city where parking is super difficult
So many people complaining about the audio. It was only bad for one minute. Literally one minute. 😂 Why are people in such a hurry to complain in the comments? It sounds like they forgot to turn on the audio recorder for the news update, so they boosted the camera audio as best they could. Easy mistake to make, perfectly reasonable solution.
The only other real issues I noticed…
1. They should put the mics in shock mounts to help reduce that thump sound whenever they touch the desk. Especially considering how much Doug likes to talk with his hands. 😂
2. Doug gets so animated sometimes that he isn’t always speaking into the mic. I think he gets so into the conversation, he forgets the mic is even there. The more he records, the better he’ll get with his mic technique.
Minor technical stuff aside, this is great, Doug and the others are great, and I’m so excited about the way he’s branched out after that big sale. Love this. Keep it up, you guys!
if a viewer isn't pleased within first seconds of a vid, he closes it. Is that so hard to understand? Just like YT ads - they have 5 seconds to grab your attention or else you're gonna skip them. Same here
You have bad ears. It does sound like shite for a podcast.
Doug the type of dude to make his managing editor detail his car.
Definitely buy the c7! they’re incredibly underrated - it’s the only modern, lightweight, manual, RWD, NA v8 sports car I can think of, at least for reasonable money. I can honestly say that after owning a 996, an Evora S, and a v8 vantage 4.3 that the c7 is my favorite car I’ve ever owned. Get past the image issues and it’s a fantastic drivers car and such a thrill. Do it!
I love the thought of getting one. Has the LT1, engines much easier to work on. interior is not that bad
What are your feelings on the other three? With all due respect to the Aston, the Evora is the most special, at least from what I've heard.
@@AmosDohms the Evora was incredible, best steering of the 4 by far, and what some people don’t realize is that the intake is mounted much higher than on a Porsche so the intake noise and supercharger whine is right next to your ear, which is wonderful. I will say it didn’t feel quite as planted as the other in the corners, and it’s by far the hardest to live with (no dealer network, limited parts support, brutal to get in an out of, no storage or cup holders, terrible ergonomics, etc.). I also prefer an open roof and the Evora is the only one that doesn’t offer that. It’s an amazing car, but I think I’d take the Aston and c7 ahead of it. Definitely liked it better than the 996 though. Can’t go wrong!
@@JamesM-hb2cj Cool! The C7 has a special place in my heart as the new hot stuff when I was first getting into cars, and I'd be happy to own one some day. Not surprised to hear that the Evora is a bit compromised, I think it's part of what makes a Lotus special.
I take it you didn't like the 996 all that much?
@@AmosDohms the 996 was a great car, definitely liked it … just not as much as the other three. Still a great sports car though, nothing negative to say about it … just not as exciting as the others is all.
I hope there will be an ongoing segment about Filippo shopping and buying his next car 😁
Doug is in Europe…means Lake Como….means Italdesign is near…means he can finally accept the invitation to review the Columbus 😮
Porsche 992.2 test cars keep being spotted in Italy recently, and 992.2 allocation emails are starting to go out so that’s where my mind goes
Who knew Doug had so many audio engineers in his audience.
and none in his studio
I have never seen a fan base cry so much lmaoooooo audio was fine. get ya ears checked!
C7, reliable 460hp with a manual transmission, decent cabin and options, depreciation is about over, long distance capability…what’s a better option for the money?!
Imo the 2015 Camaro ZR-1 they have a tuned LSA V8 which is the same engine as the CTSV with 580 HP and with 60-70k miles manual their between $35-40k
I had a rare car blow my mind this week, I saw a Geo metro box truck. It kinda looked like it had a big fiber glass cooler on the back.
Audio sounds like crap.
Edit: it gets better but not great
It becomes normal at 50 secocnds.
Controversial take on convertibles: no, automakers only regressed back to soft top roofs because they're cheaper and bring recurring revenue to dealerships for fabric top replacement. Mercedes notoriously backslided to cloth roof SL's and the car is much louder than the surreal silence experienced in the R230 and R231 glass roof generations. But soft tops don't require that exquisite virtuoso engineering like Mercedes' hardtop glass roof convertibles. SL's are perhaps the best example of the failures of fabric roof backsliding with catastrophic depreciation because the luxury, refinement, security, practicality, safety and aerodynamic efficiency has been lost in the roof.
13:27 kennan with the call about new balances hahahahahahahaha 😂 under rated burn
Doug is the kind of guy to do some things under an overpass and other things in a man's house
This audio is so bad. There’s a reason people don’t record podcasts in a concrete garage.
Chris Harris says…”hold my beer.”
He really needs to talk to his bud MKBHD to get help with mics and audio isolation in post.
It's actually really insulting how poor the quality is
We are the type of Doug fans who will tolerate it.
Lol calm down it gets fixed like a min in @@moneykm10
Love the genuine and natural friendly banter between you guys :)
Watching the discussion of Filippo wanting a C7 after seeing Filippo's video of renting the C7 Corvette was a treat.
Jeep, Bronco and Gladiator are biggest selling convertibles because they have the greatest utility. 4WD and back seats at a reasonable price. Most other convertibles are RWD sports cars - which I also love (and have 3 of them), but as an owner of a Wrangler and Bronco, the daily functionality with the family in the snow belt, they are undeniably useful.
"What was his name?" Felipo throws exceptional shade.
I was never a convertible guy, but my wife wanted an S5 Cab... and now I'm a vert guy! Although if I were to get a C8- it would be the HTC.
I remember the day I saw an F50 by the Fort Lauderdale Airport. It was a humminah humminah moment for sure. But there's ALOT of high priced cars in the Fort Lauderdale area. But I've only seen one F50 in my entire life on the move through traffic.
My greatest random car spot:
Ferrari Enzo driving outside Reno, NV 👀
In 1981, the only two production four seat Convertibles were a Rolls Royce corniche and a VW Rabbit Convertible. I bought the VW, and I still have one. Also, I have a Gladiator convertible too.
21:43 I stood in front of this at the Techno Classica Motor Show in Essen this year. Wild concept
I remember one day in San Clemente, I saw a Suzuki Alto, right after that I saw a Citroen SUV. I was looking at a beautiful house in San Clemente and right down the street from it was a Mercedes bus. I thought it was a VW bus from far away but then I got closer.
Doug is the chosen one. The king of Camry.
I love Convertible Cars. They are my favorite type of cars. Basic people drive Sedan and SUV. Also the Chevrolet Cavalier Convertible was a great Convertible. This is why the car industry sucks today. Not everyone wants a basic SUV. I want a glamorous Convertible.
Filippo needs a c5 z06
I'm not sure why everyone is complaining about the audio, it's fine for me
Its fine for me too
Doug the kind of guy who takes a convertible into a carwash with the roof down so he can have his own personal luxury pool on wheels
Doug the type of guy to strip down and give himself a wash down in a convertible
And then use the audio to record his podcast
Hey Doug I have a 2019 GT350, black with a white stripe. It is fully unmodded except for some throttle map little thing the previous owner put on. I bought it last year at 8,900 miles and right now it has 15,900 miles. I have a full set of brand new tires (super sports since the cup2s wear out at just 6k miles). Still haven’t put those on tho.
41:40 never forget the video of Doug cutting up in traffic in the CGT on a California highway😂
Podcast advice- make sure you have the different chapters of the video segmented when it goes live so we can easily jump around
Here to point out Kennan mentioning the F40 in another video 🤣🤣
Filipo. Get a 370z. They are holding value. And the power is between NB Miata and corvette. I went from NB to NC to 370z to 2016 Camaro SS
The German word for fish is Fisch, so the reason they called it the Goldfisch is not just because the designer was Herr Fisch
21:40 there is a scene at Mr. Bean Series, where he always wants to be one step ahead of some random dude in his hotel. ends up with food poison. reminds me of BMWs attempt :D
Excuse me, Doug, some of us cherish our old, passed down tradition of Italian cheapness. Our earliest memories of our grandfathers involve collecting buckets of nickels and checking our account balances hourly. 🇮🇹 🇮🇹 🇮🇹 🇮🇹 🇮🇹
Speaking of 288 GTO, really want Doug gets hands on one to do a review of 288 GTO...
Doug is too neurotic to get into that. 20 million dollar car, no way he'd drive that on a public road. Same thing with the F1, Jay Leno drove the F1, not Doug.
@@markmartin2819Since when the hell are 288 GTO’s 20 million dollar cars??
@@TheRenegade. Damnit I read it 250 instead of 288
@@markmartin2819ahh Gotcha, I thought for a second 288’s just skyrocketed in value.
Only true Doug fans will remember Filipo’s Spectra
A blue/white Gen 2 viper GTS isn't a $50k car anymore, it's an $80k car now. Only the G1, G2 Verts and G3 go for $50k or under. G2 Coupes are all over $60k and the blue/white is $80k+
Filippo saves the current version of the show . These days Doug and Kennan sound like college kids who's fathers gave them jobs
Soft top convertibles are LAME. Targa tops and t tops are soooo much cooler. Doesn’t ruin the appearance of the car by chopping a third of it off, yet still get the open air experience.
I have the RF version of the MX5 as my thoughts are exactly the same.
Targa's and T-tops are really cool. They're just not true convertibles.
Somethings wrong with it. sounds like its doubled up somewhere with a tiny phase shift. bummer. Can confirm - does seem to get resolved fairy quickly and back to to 'pretty good'.
“The road is for cars not trees” thanks Doug, very cool.
please Doug make the test drive of the mosler eldoraro twinstar, and make sure to try the back seats to see if they are different from the regular caddy eldorado
Aloha!
Can you guys recommend the best the unpractical practical car for 70000 USD or less for a DINK? Two or 2x2 seater, mid-engine (manual TM if possible) with boot/frunk space for say a 10-14 days read trip in Europe (lightly packed). Can be slightly used :D
Bonus, automatic hardtop :)
Chapters please. I just wanna hear about the convertibles. :)
this. it's the only reason i clicked this video.
Lexus definitely took the S Class from Mercedes for a good while. Not BMW. Maybe that one James Bond year though
Spent two years driving all over Florida looking for a decent yj, finally found the best looking six cyl stick decent mods (guy also had a self-built dune buggy and other toys).
Best and worst 4k ever (this was in ~2015)
The audio is fine for normal people with normal expectations. The crying in these comments about the sound is unwarranted.
The early 991 911 turbo S is such an amazing car
Real suggestion for Felippo, he would enjoy a BMW M2 I think that's the next tier up after his Miata in RWD, I don't know if hes the corvette type of guy... good suggestion renting one to try loll
I remember seeing the v16 engine in that Jonny English movie
Well…
Living here in Germany I can tell you … there are a LOT of cars that they developed that NEVER leave storage space in the basement … unless the whole company goes belly up … maybe THEN you could buy into the leftovers … but I seriously doubt it 😂😂😂
my next car was supposed to be a convertible but there just wasnt enough options. i ended up not getting one
That's why I went out today and saw four convertibles on the road in the sunshine. Hmmmm! 🙃
Bellevue, WA is good car spotting.
That’s not your Carrera GT that got tossed yesterday, is it? Glad to hear the driver and passenger are okay, stilled bummed about the car.
Audio starts rough but gets better pretty quick.
The audio on the podcast sounds better than the video. But I came here to say: I love when people with economics degrees talk about car prices :-)
53k miles, accident, mods… that sounds exactly in line with comps.
Sounds like Doug needs to get a 4x4 Ford E350 15 passenger.
Audio gets better at 0:48
Id love to know where you can find a clean title GT350R in the 50k’s per felipo..
Philipo should get himself a 996. Or an Audi S5. I think a C7 would be great too. Another option would be a Jaguar F Type.
I like this new look at surfing.
I feel like this is the dunk on felipo every week podcast
I like the collaboration with the Angry Video Game Nerd!
Doug is the type of guy to make a podcast out of his videos.
Doug, you do realize that podcasts are like radio … audio only. When you make a podcast out a very visual video it doesn’t work.
This.
@@paulgemperlein626 To quote Dennis from Always Sunny in Philadelphia:
“THIS IS NOT GOOD RADIO!”
Flippo, get a S212 MB E350 wagon, they hold their value so when you sell it you wont lose much. Take it from a like minded person I know. :)
C5 Z06 is the answer. Decent one for $20k, will feel more special and won't depreciate like a base C7.
There is no way a media outlet of this caliber has audio this bad.....major oversight. There is no way anyone involved should be okay with this, and somehow it got UPLOADED? Guys cmon.
Get the C7! That would be so cool!!
He needs a nice minty bug eye sprite. Hoovie's must be around somewhere still lol.
The microphones recordings are not synced
Doug, why don't you use your clout (no matter how small!) to tell these automakers we want T-Tops/Targa tops back? The most perplexing of this is Toyota. Usually automakers say that "too much weight, additional stiffening needed" for this. Toyota, the king of 9/10s (they seemingly purposely screw up something holding it from perfection every time), brought back the Supra which was noted for a Targa top, built the Supra OFF A CONVERTIBLE chassis, and didn't give us a Targa/T-Top. If Toyota brings back the MR2, they will screw up and omit that feature as well. Tell them no. No. You will make the new MR2 not only mid-engined, gas only, and well over 300hp to make it hit 4.0 or sub-4 0-60 times, but also a T-Top roof. Oh, and price it reasonably. Tell them to off-set it's cost with the hyper-inflated and padded profits they're making off that drastically overpriced Tacoma and their 18 other trucks and SUVs.
This cannot be a real comment
The most perplexing thing in this comments section is the dude who's outta touch enough to have said all of this crap, mad ipad kid vibes.
Wat!
Looks like you fixed the dent on the Carrera GT
What dent 😮
Love this show. Only complaint is sometimes it’s hard to follow great discussions through every interruption. Just some better flow would be appreciated. Love it otherwise. Keep it up!
series idea: price point (like the one buzzfeed did)
What Filippo needs is a 2004 Pontiac GTO.
Asian grocery stores are the best place to buy fruits and vegetables especially where you guys live.
Appreciate the honesty in your videos, it's rare these days
This is just the reverse of what some mid-engined cars do and no one has a problem with this! 18:08
Please, do something about the acoustic, my ears are crying!
I wish I could see the Toyota employee's face when Doug was told this and licked the door handle.
Convertibles are the ultimate luxury cars, always will be👍
i rather think it is "Fisch" because Fish in german is Fisch😂
Audio finally got good last episode. Now what happened with the intro?
I think Doug should bring back a Multipla from his Europe trip
Europe? Where is the meet n greet!
Presice here! Thanks for answering my question about the M5 + Spyder vs 550 Maranello. I was thinking along the same line as Doug that financially, the 550 will be better long term. With the added benefit of a more simplified ownership of dealing with 1 car instead of 2 (parking, registration, inspections, maintenance). But I do love the 1-2 punch that the M5 and Spyder provide, each with their own unique amazing driving experiences. Good to hear all your perspectives.
Kaffeeklatsch? without cake?!
Felipo: Panamera
0:30 yes they did. Up until 2023
What happened to that Janice lady?
No Timestamps?
UMMM MX-5? Outsells Mustangs many times over.
