Paul also came personally to Chile in 2010, to a small town called Pelluhue in wich he used to surf, after a devastating earthwake. He provided relief for the injured and affected locals. As recognition for his help, and love of surfing, a street is named after him and he also has a commemorative plaque. A real hero if you ask me
@@spencexxx lol your the kind of people who are just jealous and know you won’t be as great of a person as Paul was. The same thing is going with Elon Musk rn too I don’t get you guys
@@spencexxx Based on your comment history you are one negative dude.. I've never heard one negative thing about paul or his actions. You seriously could've just kept that to yourself.
I love how he actually lived the character out in reality. He was so happy about people calling him Brian in public. He felt like a super hero. That was like his role for the franchise and people associated him with it.
The most memorable movie experience I’ve ever had was when the entire audience cried together at the end of that last movie. Just showed how much passion and appreciation he really garnered from everyone. Icon really is the best term for this legend of a human being.
I literally didn't go to the movie because I hadn't gotten over his death. I know it sounds stupid but he was an inspiration to me since I was 11 when f&f 1 came out. It's weird but I've never had a celebrity death ever hit me so hard. I still cry on occasion when I'm watching him. 🥲 what a legend.
What made it so emotional is that he was known to be a genuine person. Not the typical Hollywood actor that thinks they’re above everyone else yet still act like they understand the populace. I get choked up just thinking about his death and how he died. And I didn’t even know the man personally.
I remember a week after his passing, I was riding the school bus and we would pass by this random wall every morning… this time it said “FUCK PAUL WALKER” mann i thought it was the most randomest shit ever lol
Same here man I teared up at the end. You could see this was hard on James to tell. It truly is sad how Paul was taken so early. He was such a great person that it just hurts so much more.
@@ALcarnage83 Don't say stuff like that out of context, you're just inviting hate. He did some messed up stuff, but in the same way the good he did shouldn't make the bad irrelevant, the bad shouldn't make the good irrelevant either. It's not like his fuck ups were all he did, Paul still did ultimately become a figure that helped many people and gave many to look up to- People deserve to have both their rights and wrongs looked at.
No bullshit...I started crying too. Ever since his death it was something I never wanted to talk about. Being a car enthusiasts you just knew without even speaking
I’m so happy to watch this video about Paul. I still remember when I was 9 or 10 and I had found out Paul had passed away. I spent the whole week watching videos about how it happens and cried more than I did for anyone else. He was my hero when I was growing up. I’ve watched the fast and the furious movies practically since I was born and still continue to watch them to this day. Rip Paul Walker
I 100% believe that he was murdered. Its too much of a coincidence that him, Anthony Bourdain, Chester Bennington... all of whom were actively working on exposing child trafficking rings, were killed or suddenly died.
@@Apollo5752353 That's okay, they believe on media who said that. even they didn't care the same media were Guilty for Underrage Scandal. Or Did he from that media ? i mean, back then, people who said that, its about cover it their office scandals 🙄
Yeah hearing / seeing James get emotional got me emotional as well. I still remember where I was when I heard that he got into that car accident and didn't survive. Never met him but he's the reason why I got into JDM sports cars. Before that I was strictly a muscle car guy. Wound up owning a Datsun 200sx, an Acura Integra, and a Toyota Supra and MR2 due to him making me appreciate cars like that.
I still remember bugging mom for months to take me to the first f&f movie and the night the movie came out, cars everywhere rocking all sorts of mods I have never seen in my life. That was the night I learned that regular everyday sports cars can be as fast if not faster then the exotics I grew up loving. At 10 years old, that was the night I became a car guy. 20 years later I'm still as obsessed and as nuts about it as I was then. Thank you Paul.
Fast and furious is not real. Do you understand that the jetta from the movie was a naturally aspirated 2.0, with a 3speed slush box. Don’t base your view of reality on movies.
@@fastinradfordable i get what your saying but he said he was 10. Almost any kid sees stuff like that and will think that's awesome! it just ignited a passion he didnt know he had.
HE WAS SACRIFICED FOR HIS ROLE IN THE SKULLS. IN REFERENCE TO SKULL AND BONES WHERE IN THE MOVIE HE IS GIFTED A RED PORCHE AND HE ENDS UP DYING IN A RED PORCHE. RITUUAL SACRIFICED FOR THE JESUIT ORDER. GET IT FUCKING RIGHT
It's no coincidence that gematria effect news called for Herbert Walker Bush to die on the day Paul walker died bc walker Bush was a skull and bones member
Man I'm 19, I was 11 when he passed and I remembered crying. Even now seeing James choked up at the end got to me. Rip to a legend, I wouldn't be into cars without the fast and furious series.
Man, I knew the mention if his passing was coming & it still got to me, then watching you get emotional at the end hit me & I got emotional too.... Paul Walker was a different breed. He might be gone but his legacy will live on. Thank you & all the team at Donut 🍩 for this video ♥️
What most people don't know is that Paul was a marine biology major. He worked with great whites in Mexico. He was a deck hand on National Geographic special and was not even the host or anything. Dude was just a grunt on the boat. I was a marine biology minor and I watched it and was like "oh wow that's Paul Walker"...dude had a heart of gold...his light went out way too soon. 😢
It got me when he said up to speed on Paul walker...I have no clue y..i really liked his iconic character and was in Jr high when when the 1st F&F debuted all I wanted from that point on was a shit ton of NOS now I'm 34 i have it!! I look back on it that was prob. The biggest inspiration
@@ka.powered8328 smh...nah man no matter the trauma in that 14 year Olds life a 14 year hasn't had the chance to live and experience...sorry bruh ure mistaken on that 1

Paul is definitely a guy who cuts tough the bullshit. a guy that stayed real to who he was and I think thats a big part of why he is so great and is so meaningful. Especially in a world where theres heaps of bs and everyone is trying to be someone they are not! RIP legend!
Its kind of sad for his dad to see how he left biking only to protect his son from dying through an accident when in reality it did happen... one way or the other. RIP Paul you'll always be the goat in the car world. I remember when he died, I was in 9th grade and it shook me because i just finished watching all the FnF series.
On the day of Walker’s death, I was playing NFS Underground 2 using a mod vinyl of his R34 from 2 Fast 2 Furious. It hit me when I heard the news that he died that day and originally did not want to believe it, but when the reality hit me, I was devastated. Especially since I always watched the first F&F movie quite often (and still do now).
Hearing the emotion in James' voice got me, man. I love this channel, a bunch of real good dudes that have loads of fun, but can cover serious issues as well. Paul Walker stands as the Prime example of the best in Humanity. Amen.
I got to meet Paul when ROWW deployed to the mudslides and floods in Colorado. I was working with a local fire crew at the time, and linking up with him led to me volunteering as a saw operator/EMT with ROWW until I joined the military and ended up crippled. He was a great guy and left the world in better shape than it was when he got here. That's way more than most people can say
Man it's crazy. I still remember the night he passed. I couldn't sleep for days afterward. Felt like I had lost a big brother... He was all of our big brother.
Same dude. I was at our last family thanksgiving for the year, and my uncle was just cruising in his phone and said “hey, Paul walker just died” and I don’t think I said three words the rest of the evening. It was as personal to me as anything could be. He definitely Influenced a lot of us, probably more than anyone of us can fathom.
I remember the day like it was yesterday. I was a sophomore in high school and literally just got home from Walmart picking up fast and furious 6 on DVD to watch with my mom and sister, got 10 minutes into the movie before I hopped on Instagram only to see the car crash all over my news feed. It was so devastating for me because the fast and furious series was the sole reason I fell in love with cars. Paul Walker was a huge inspiration for me as a kid. I started learning about the JDM culture and devoted so many years to the automotive industry hoping one day I could drive cool cars like him one day. People may have a lot to say about him goof and bad but one thing you can't take away from him is the fact that he along with the cast inspired a whole generation and showed us how cool import cars really are.
He wasn't just a celebrity or movie star, he was like mentor to a lot of us older millennial kids who loved cars growing up. I still remember being in the car listening to the radio when they interrupted a song to announce he was killed. I pulled over with tears in my eyes and just sobbed for a few minutes. My gf was with me and she didn't even love the movies but she completely understood. Hard to believe it will be coming up on 10 years soon.
@@capnmoench4246 NONO MENTOR IS NOW JUST A SYNONYM FOR "I FEEL NOSTALGIA FOR SOMEONE WHO WAS OLDER THAN ME WHEN I WAS IMPRESSIONABLE" FOR MILLENNIALS BECAUSE THEY'RE EASY MARKS
Damn James. Got me crying in the end in front of my wife… Paul is an epitome of a genuine car guy. Love for cars of every kind, and love for people and the goodness inside them. It’s really weird how we can all relate and be so struck with his passing, although 99% of us here didn’t really know the guy. But we damn sure feel like we did. Much love Donut Media! ❤️
Never would i have thought Donut Media would bring tears to my eyes. Seeing James teary-eyed at the end there really grabbed me by the throat. It's crazy what kind of impact Paul had on the car community. Well told story, Donut. Respect.
@@patrickthayer4060 Just wondering. Not saying i don't believe you, but hey. Sometimes, as we've seen before, we don't get the full story of things and a lot of times rape and harrassment are lied about so...
I've yet to see another actor that was so genuine. He loved cars, he loved helping people...I wish we could have had more time with him. His passion for motorsports poured over into every film he was in. That's why he was so fun to watch. One of the absolute nicest guys that has ever existed in the movie biz. Miss you brother, but with what you started with Reach Out Worldwide, your legacy continues!
I loved this. Also i respect James for holding on those tears. It s hard for us to pass 30th november without shedding a tear to Paul. He s the car guys God, he knows we love him, and he ll always protect us. Love, always.
I was around 10 when I heard the news of Paul's passing. My sister had told me about it and I was in complete shock. At first I kinda just went on with my day but later on that night, the first Fast and Furious movie was on and at the end as he walked into the sunlight, I just burst into tears. My dad had to comfort me and help me calm down. My dad had watched each and every movie with me, he was the one who got me into the movies, but Paul was the one who helped get me into the cars. I wanted an R34 Skyline even more than I wanted the latest Challenger or Camaro because of him. And now learning about him and his efforts with Reach Out Worldwide only solidifies in my heart what a good man he was. May God bless him and may God bless James. the Walker family, and the Donut crew for telling his story.
This will probably be the only "Everything You Need to Know" episode that will make me cry. I got into cars at a very young age, but Paul Walker is who made me love cars even more. I ride motorcycles now but my love for everything cars will always be there because it started with Paul.
@@TwistedThrottles speed caused the crash, it didnt cause his death as every report stated they both survived the crash but died in the fire. You must had been the kid that never paid attention in class but swore he knew the answers
Paul was such a great guy. He was in a jewelry store when a veteran was trying to buy a ring for his fiancé but ultimately couldn’t afford it. Paul overheard the situation and paid for the engagement ring. Legend.
It's strange that he didn't mention Joyride. That's my favorite Walker movie outside of TFATF series. I was 16 almost 17 when the Fast and the Furious came out, seen it at a theater in Allentown, PA. I seen alot of car movies at that point but this was on a whole new level and I learned how cool Paul Walker really was. He became my favorite actor. I made an attempt to see everyone of his movies that came out afterwards. I remember working on the shipping docks at my job and hearing about his fatal car accident and I actually cried for the first time in how many years, I almost left work early that day. People like him don't come around everyday. He was like the Clint Eastwood of the car community where he was calm, cool and very hard to dislike. I'm 38 now, I still love tuner (and American Muscle) cars and every now and then I'll spend an entire weekend watching the Fast and Furious movies with friends that I grew up with. R.I.P Paul, you are loved by many and never forgotten. 🤘
@@chinchy111 Leelee Sobieski was her name. She's polish and hot AF. She was in a couple other movies that were ok, but nothing really great. But who cares with a set like that 😃
When I heard that crash on the news I literally cried in my room for hours. He was one of the best actors in the fast franchise. After his death every fast and furious movie after that didn't hit the same and just were none sense.
Literally same, I remember when I saw the news, I started crying, my mom was making lunch at the time, I went running and said: "Mom, my idol just died".
I had such a huge amount of respect for Paul's attitude. Hated the limelight, just happened to work in one. Loved cars and loved people. I try to have that same attitude. That first movie made me change from a muscle head to a tuner nerd. I took a 1994 Ford Escort, probably the most bland small sedan of the early mid 90's (I figured it was a 4 banger, but still had those domestic ties) and put a full body kit, custom rims and paint job on it. Had the underglow lighting and everything. I even molded Acura Integra headlights into the front end and totally changed the look of that car. Won 3 car shows with it. Wouldn't have turned a wrench on it without that movie. Paul's work with ROW is unmatched. Self funded, in the trenches with his own two hands. That's how a car guy gets things done. He did more to help the car culture have a major resurgence than just about any other single person and he probably did more good for people in need out of his own pocket and with his own two hands than any other single person. If you want a damn fine example of a man and a good human being, look not one step further. Paul was that guy.
I’ve never cried when a celebrity passed away. But Paul Walker was more than that he was such a great father & such an amazing man. He will forever be missed.
Great father?? When he was 34 and his daughter 15 he started dating his daughters best friend who was also 15 at the time. How is that a great father? Hahah
wow man I never knew that. He was 33 and she was just 16 but still that is disgusting pedoshit & literal statutory rape in California. Over twice her age! Damn I thought he was legit but just goes to show why he probably didn't want more attention or it would be more public knowledge. So many people don't know about this. Dude couldn't even wait 2 years. Gross af
@@heirrose1606this is a load of crap dude. He was dating Bliss Ellis at the time these allegations state he was with an underage chick. Don’t let these ppl get in your head it’s simply not true and can be debunked in more ways than one. His gf was 22 when he died and they dated when she was 19. No foul play
@@fulltimebomber954Meadow didn’t know Jasmine before they started dating lol. This has been debunked 100 times over. He was dating Bliss Ellis (photographed by paparazzi) at the time it was said he dated Aubrianna under age. She was 19 when they dated. Hope this helps 😃
This is definitely one of my favorite episodes that you've put out . Good job guys. It's pretty obvious the respect and admiration that you have for Paul Walker. He was truly an icon. AND an inspiration. If there was one celebrity worth following and emulating, it was him. He was such a kind soul. A rare breed. Such a big loss. THANK YOU FOR THIS EPISODE GUYS.
I miss Paul so much, i respect him a lot to this day and when i was younger he was one of my heroes, when the 2010 earthquake happened in my country (Chile) he actually sent monetary aid to us here and a lot of it. He's one of the reasons im into cars nowadays too like a lot of people. i hope he rests in peace wherever he is, he was a great man.
I used to watch 2f2f on the DvD on repeat when i was like 2 years old not even knowing what cars were at the time, but growing older and getting to know Paul from the movies made me a car guy and wanting to be like him. That Sunday when I heard the news of the crash I lost a part of my self. I will always miss him and I 'm sure one day we will meet. RIP Paul.
bruh, i almost broke when i heard James little voice cracks. You can tell that someone really loved him as a person that gave so much entertaiment and good to the world when they talk about him and when it comes to that tragic moment.. they straight up holding tears or even letting them flow. I Surely am one of those and i can tell that James is too. Still miss him.
If except for the fact that no one's talking about you shouldn't be speeding in public streets and you wouldn't die a tragic death and leaving everyone behind scratching their heads as he won a fucking Darwin's award.
HE WAS SACRIFICED FOR HIS ROLE IN THE SKULLS. IN REFERENCE TO SKULL AND BONES WHERE IN THE MOVIE HE IS GIFTED A RED PORCHE AND HE ENDS UP DYING IN A RED PORCHE. RITUUAL SACRIFICED FOR THE JESUIT ORDER. GET IT FUCKING RIGHT
@@Karapar you must be one of his fan bois get over cake it is what it is he was a sellout just like the rest of them. But you're too busy being a groupie to understand
@@gematriagoon imagine being this depressing and disturbing. you're a disappointment to the human race. I hope people speak about your legacy the way you speak about Paul's.
I freaking love this episode and he is one of the major if not the main reason I'm into cars as I was growing up (2000 kid). One thing I didn't hear mentioned about the accident is that the Porsche that he was in had the original dealer tires from years before and weren't structurally sound anymore. As far as I know it was a recent delivery/purchase for the tuning shop and they where taking it for a quick ride around the business parking lot. Apparently as they accelerated as you would expect the rear end came loose and they missed the slight curve in the curb and kit a pole at the outside apex of the turn. From what I've heard, if the tires where replaced there was a genuinely decent chance he'd be here today.
To add about tire life, I've personally seen tires that look completely fine on the outside completely delaminate and shred themselves in seconds. At a local auto x event a member had a set of old tires they wanted to try sliding around the course a bit with and we said no problem as he was a skilled driver and the course was away from anyone. He then lit up the tires and it rained down the entire tread within about 3 turns. We had to spend about 30 mins with every driver marshal and spectator to sweep and pick up chunks of rubber. Just because they look ok dosent mean they are.
@Mexicanus Prime isn't it weird that we have to shy away from saying only performance tires are good. But on that note I'm trying out my first set of touring tires the cross climate two.
Paul was a huge inspiration to all of us. If it weren’t for the movies, honestly not sure if I would be into cars. I used to play The Fast and the Furious on repeat when I was 4. It was my favorite movie. I always looked at him as a brother and someone to look up to even though I never knew him. The day tragedy struck, I balled my eyes out for days. He was the reason I got into cars, big reason on why I love Nissan. He made a difference in the world. He will never be forgotten.
I loved all Paul's movies and I felt like I lost a family member when he died. He was a down to earth superstar with a heart of gold. He is missed by many.
I had no idea Paul was such an amazing dude, and that he lived such an awesome life. I really understand why people were so rocked by his passing. Thanks for making this, I’m glad to know his story 💛
When I was 14, I used to joyride in my dad's 1993 300zx; just around the block and back in the garage. One day I got the balls to take the car on a main street. Was doing fine and when I decided its time to come home, i went for a u-turn, tried to floor it, and ate a curb hard. Literally limped it home, called dad and told him what happened. Never cried so hard in my life. 16 years later here I am, with my own 1990 Fairlady Z 😭🤣
Man, I could feel the raw emotion from the narrator/vid creator on this, and also sympathize. Growing up, Paul was like a role model to me. I have my "favorites" when it comes to actors, but Paul was my ACTUAL favorite actor. I still remember the day my wife sent me a text saying "Did you hear? Paul walker from Fast and furious died. Isn't he your favorite actor or something?". I thought she was just playing with me, and joking around. I go pull up a search on Google to find out and confirm its all real. The moment I discovered my wife wasn't playing around, my heart sank and I literally started tearing up. I thought to myself "this can't be real. This isn't happening". I was in denial. Then I started telling myself "I'm never gonna see him again, in any movie. That's it.... it's done. He's gone." I just wanna make a point here, so people understand. I loved Paul walker as an actor so much, that I would even watch the garbage/unpopular no name movies, if he happened to be in it. That's all it took. Even if it was a crappy no name movie, I would watch it, JUST because he was in it. I liked and respect him THAT much as an actor and as a person. To his day, every time I see a new fast and furious movie with him not in it, I tell myself "he should have been in this" RIP Paul. You touched a lot of hearts, and had much love from your fans. 👍
James, I love it how much you show emotions in these videos. And I can see it's not acting, you really care about everything related to car stuff. Never change.
Y'all should of asked some Santa Barbara locals about Paul Walker. He was so humble. He would ride his bike around town to his favorite local restaurants and he was a very generous tipper. He used to go to my uncle's restaurant in Goleta and ways tipped $100 along with being great company
I cry watching this stuff I can't help it man. The love you have for motors and vehicles it's felt. Knowing certain people really do build our community it's love man
James is a good dude. Thanks for this episode, I was in high school when this happened. Never really thought about it too much bc it was honestly too difficult. So many of us grew up on those movies, and it reminds me of my youth and hanging with my pops. When that happened it was easier just to deny it and avoid ever seeing media coverage about him. This brought back a lot of emotion. Great channel y’all. If you need and customer service reps Im there! Would love to work for and with good people like you guys lol.
I remember watching fast and furious when I was 7 years old and that image of him driving a green eclipse made me realize how much I love cars and the automotive world. So even tho he isn't present on this world anymore, I would like to say thank you for everything Paul.
He also did animal conservation too which I found really cool, saw him in a natgeo program about researching and tagging Great White Sharks, didn't expect to see him there, but it was amazing, man was a legend
I live in the town he grew up in, my dad went to the gym with his dad. Poor dude lost weight after his son passed, and soon after stopped going to the gym and eventually kind of gave up. Lost his son, so all justifiably so. Sad process for everyone to watch him go like that. Good man.
Started tearing up when James talked about Reach Out Worldwide. I didn’t know Paul donated and gave so much. The greats are always taken too soon 😭 Great episode!
I remember going to see Fast&Furious opening weekend at the mall in my hometown with my friends. We all piled into my 95 Civic 2 door that was already lowered on trick suspension with all the bolt ons and a sweet cat back exhaust. The parking garage was like a car show. The noise was unreal. Best part about Paul walker in that movie is he was so relatable to us. We dressed the same and loved the the same cars. Great time to be a 19yo with a sweet ride.
HE WAS SACRIFICED FOR HIS ROLE IN THE SKULLS. IN REFERENCE TO SKULL AND BONES WHERE IN THE MOVIE HE IS GIFTED A RED PORCHE AND HE ENDS UP DYING IN A RED PORCHE. RITUUAL SACRIFICED FOR THE JESUIT ORDER. GET IT FUCKING RIGHT
I still remember a story of Paul where he was in a jewellery store or something and a man (believed) to be in the military was looking at either a engagement ring or a wedding ring but could afford it and when Paul heard it, he went over to the dude and gave him his credit card and said “pick a ring, it’s on me”. What a down to earth dude. Gone far too soon for a person like him. Still miss him to this day. Rip Beautiful blue eyes.
@@TheRealMrRoyal me too man, me too. I was absolutely crushed when I heard the news too, woke up to see it on the front page of Reddit. When she saw how upset I was my mum said it was like how she felt when Princess Diana died…. A parallel that’s really not that different when you think about it.
Man I was 14 when he died and I still remember that news like it was yesterday. The ending scene where he drove off into the sunset still makes me emotional. We didn't deserve a guy like him and more celebrities should take notes
Didn't know the guy personally but I still tear up every time I hear about his passing, seemed like a genuine dude that did not deserve to leave us so soon.
As someone who grow up at the Compton car races in his 91 CRX Si and recognized Prairie Ave & Hawthorne airport the minute it showed up on screen I didn't realized (although cheesy) it would start something crazy. Paul's passing hit me like a ton of bricks. RIP brotha!
Thank u guys for this! There are only 2 celebrities I've ever cried when I got to know about their passing and 1 is Paul and the other is Steve Irwin. Paul has been a huge influence on me and i wish one day I'll be able to have an R34 in 2F2F spec as a tribute to him!
To me, Paul was like a big brother who shared interests in cars with me. And it was 2F2F that introduced me to the Skyline family, and the way he handled it. May he Rest In Peace.
I remember the day I got the news of his passing, I couldn't believe it... I had to search on the internet from multiple sources to make sure it wasn't one of those hoaxes that they would always do on-line. When I realized it was real it hit me hard as I just sat there crying, an idol of mine gone. He changed the car scene forever. Thank you Paul for everything.
When I was a kid. I was super awkward and depressed. F&F was my escape. Me and my dad watched every movie together. When Paul died I broke down at my job. Life is much better for me now. And I can look back on the old F&F movies fondly and appreciate how much of an impact Paul had on my life and the lives of so many others that enjoyed the series, as well as the people he helped through is relief organization. RIP
It hit me hard when i learned that Paul passed away. I felt really sad even though i didn't know him personally. He was a big influence to me as a teenager.
Like always James; thanks for being human. I appreciate that you allow your emotions to show. Paul Walker was an incredible person and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel like I lost a friend when he died. I never met him but he always seemed down to earth and an incredible philanthropist.
Yes, Paul was so incredible that he wasn't caught or faced any charges when he was dating/sleeping with a 15-16 year old girl and committed statutory r*** in the state of Cali when the age of consent was 18 years old. What normal/average man could've pull off this feat?!
ngl I cried. Shit happens all the time when someone talks about Paul, hell it even happens every time I listen to See You Again... He's in my heart for sure, and He'll always be there.
Thanks for making it about Paul, so many just want the likes but I could tell he meant something to you like he does to alot of us car enthusiasts around the world ❤️👍R.I.P Paul
I remember the day I heard the news. I was about 14 at the time and I was just so confused about it. I didn’t want to believe because I always thought Paul walker was untouchable. He and his movies got me into the car world and it sounds like he was an outstanding person
Thanks for this episode man... when i heard Paul died, i just couldnt even bear myself to watch the last installment back then for years after... and im just sitting here watching you break down like that with all that love and respect for him. My grandpa died a few weeks ago who was kind of my Paul Walker, to me, and up to this point i just couldnt even bear myself to let the tears out just like with Paul's last movie... but somehow i just broke down with you here crying like shit. Ive even got a 2g Eclipse a while ago, which im riding in respect of both Paul and my Grandpa as kind of a legacy to both of them who formed me in their own ways. Anyways... keep them poppin' headlights UP bro! Appreciate your work. Thank you.
I'm 35 and there were 2 days that i clearly remember for how devastated i was on them: 1st was 10th of September 2006 when Schumacher announced he will retire from Formula 1 2nd was 30th of November 2013 when Paul died. Don't remember any other exact days when i have cried except for those. My 2 most big idols have now been gone.
Seriously, back in early 2000's when I was a teen, all my savedata names to NFS Underground, Gran Turismo and all those games was always called "Brian"... It's because of or thanks to him that I fell so deep into automotive world and that I have more than 20 cars now... Someone once said "why do good people die so young?" A man said "well which flowers do you pick in the garden?" The other person said "the most beautiful and best ones" The man said "exactly..." This guy is a LEGEND!
No shade, im kinda wondering how old most of the people in the comment section are. Paul would wonder this too, but in a more, lustful and imaginative way.
I was a freshman in high school when he passed. The first f&f is one of the first movies I ever remember watching over and over growing up. It felt like I lost someone I knew.
Paul used to come to surf in some small towns here in Chile. In 2010 we got hit by a huge earthquake and later tsunami. It was devastating. Well, Paul came himself to help out, just like any regular volunteer. Great guy
Right in the feels. And we knew from the beginning of this video this would be hit in the feels. My whole childhood felt like it was lost when he passed away
Most beautiful video you guys have made, loved Paul before and now after finding out how he helped people I believe he's the best human this world has ever seen
Paul also came personally to Chile in 2010, to a small town called Pelluhue in wich he used to surf, after a devastating earthwake. He provided relief for the injured and affected locals. As recognition for his help, and love of surfing, a street is named after him and he also has a commemorative plaque.
A real hero if you ask me

I love how he actually lived the character out in reality. He was so happy about people calling him Brian in public. He felt like a super hero. That was like his role for the franchise and people associated him with it.

The most memorable movie experience I’ve ever had was when the entire audience cried together at the end of that last movie. Just showed how much passion and appreciation he really garnered from everyone. Icon really is the best term for this legend of a human being.
I literally didn't go to the movie because I hadn't gotten over his death. I know it sounds stupid but he was an inspiration to me since I was 11 when f&f 1 came out. It's weird but I've never had a celebrity death ever hit me so hard. I still cry on occasion when I'm watching him. 🥲 what a legend.
@@dilloncherlet4420 yo, my family watches the F&F series of movies in total silence. Paul was and will always be my favorite actor.
What made it so emotional is that he was known to be a genuine person. Not the typical Hollywood actor that thinks they’re above everyone else yet still act like they understand the populace. I get choked up just thinking about his death and how he died. And I didn’t even know the man personally.
They should have stopped F&F after 7. That ending was perfection.
I remember a week after his passing, I was riding the school bus and we would pass by this random wall every morning… this time it said “FUCK PAUL WALKER” mann i thought it was the most randomest shit ever lol
Honestly going back and hearing Paul's story again is pretty emotional and hits harder every time
James is such a good story teller. I couldn't help but tear up a bit when you could tell it was hard for him to cover Paul's passing.
Yeah i felt like he was holdin back emotions at the end but wasn't sure if he was actin ..i feel like it was real
Heartfelt.
100%, James tells stories the way we like to hear them, from the heart
yea up until the merch drop announcement blasting ur ears off right after kinda ruined the heart felt vibes
Same here man I teared up at the end. You could see this was hard on James to tell. It truly is sad how Paul was taken so early. He was such a great person that it just hurts so much more.

He did some messed up stuff, but in the same way the good he did shouldn't make the bad irrelevant, the bad shouldn't make the good irrelevant either.

This one hits the feels pretty hard, James starts crying I started crying man what a legend Paul is I miss him every day.
BRO ALL HE DOES IS CRY FFS LMFAOOOO THE GUY IS A COMEDIAN AND AN ACTOR

I spent the whole week watching videos about how it happens and cried more than I did for anyone else. He was my hero when I was growing up.

Yeah hearing / seeing James get emotional got me emotional as well. I still remember where I was when I heard that he got into that car accident and didn't survive.
Never met him but he's the reason why I got into JDM sports cars. Before that I was strictly a muscle car guy. Wound up owning a Datsun 200sx, an Acura Integra, and a Toyota Supra and MR2 due to him making me appreciate cars like that.
I still to this day cry when I hear see you again. Paul Walker is the reason why I became a mechanic, and he's one of my all time favorite actors.
I still remember bugging mom for months to take me to the first f&f movie and the night the movie came out, cars everywhere rocking all sorts of mods I have never seen in my life. That was the night I learned that regular everyday sports cars can be as fast if not faster then the exotics I grew up loving. At 10 years old, that was the night I became a car guy. 20 years later I'm still as obsessed and as nuts about it as I was then.
Thank you Paul.

I got to meet Paul when ROWW deployed to the mudslides and floods in Colorado.

That's exactly how it felt ... Even now it still gets to me. What a beautiful soul.
Same dude. I was at our last family thanksgiving for the year, and my uncle was just cruising in his phone and said “hey, Paul walker just died” and I don’t think I said three words the rest of the evening.
It was as personal to me as anything could be. He definitely Influenced a lot of us, probably more than anyone of us can fathom.
I remember the day like it was yesterday. I was a sophomore in high school and literally just got home from Walmart picking up fast and furious 6 on DVD to watch with my mom and sister, got 10 minutes into the movie before I hopped on Instagram only to see the car crash all over my news feed. It was so devastating for me because the fast and furious series was the sole reason I fell in love with cars. Paul Walker was a huge inspiration for me as a kid. I started learning about the JDM culture and devoted so many years to the automotive industry hoping one day I could drive cool cars like him one day. People may have a lot to say about him goof and bad but one thing you can't take away from him is the fact that he along with the cast inspired a whole generation and showed us how cool import cars really are.
@@annfields4296 he was a pedophile lol not a beautiful soul at all, look it up he dated a minor when he was 34 and that’s sick

I was around 10 when I heard the news of Paul's passing. My sister had told me about it and I was in complete shock. At first I kinda just went on with my day but later on that night, the first Fast and Furious movie was on and at the end as he walked into the sunlight, I just burst into tears. My dad had to comfort me and help me calm down. My dad had watched each and every movie with me, he was the one who got me into the movies, but Paul was the one who helped get me into the cars. I wanted an R34 Skyline even more than I wanted the latest Challenger or Camaro because of him. And now learning about him and his efforts with Reach Out Worldwide only solidifies in my heart what a good man he was. May God bless him and may God bless James. the Walker family, and the Donut crew for telling his story.
This will probably be the only "Everything You Need to Know" episode that will make me cry. I got into cars at a very young age, but Paul Walker is who made me love cars even more. I ride motorcycles now but my love for everything cars will always be there because it started with Paul.

It's strange that he didn't mention Joyride. That's my favorite Walker movie outside of TFATF series. I was 16 almost 17 when the Fast and the Furious came out, seen it at a theater in Allentown, PA. I seen alot of car movies at that point but this was on a whole new level and I learned how cool Paul Walker really was. He became my favorite actor. I made an attempt to see everyone of his movies that came out afterwards. I remember working on the shipping docks at my job and hearing about his fatal car accident and I actually cried for the first time in how many years, I almost left work early that day. People like him don't come around everyday. He was like the Clint Eastwood of the car community where he was calm, cool and very hard to dislike.

@@Shitboxpapi IT REMINDS ME OF THAT TRAGEDY!
Literally same, I remember when I saw the news, I started crying, my mom was making lunch at the time, I went running and said: "Mom, my idol just died".
I had such a huge amount of respect for Paul's attitude. Hated the limelight, just happened to work in one. Loved cars and loved people. I try to have that same attitude. That first movie made me change from a muscle head to a tuner nerd. I took a 1994 Ford Escort, probably the most bland small sedan of the early mid 90's (I figured it was a 4 banger, but still had those domestic ties) and put a full body kit, custom rims and paint job on it. Had the underglow lighting and everything. I even molded Acura Integra headlights into the front end and totally changed the look of that car. Won 3 car shows with it. Wouldn't have turned a wrench on it without that movie.
Paul's work with ROW is unmatched. Self funded, in the trenches with his own two hands. That's how a car guy gets things done.
He did more to help the car culture have a major resurgence than just about any other single person and he probably did more good for people in need out of his own pocket and with his own two hands than any other single person. If you want a damn fine example of a man and a good human being, look not one step further. Paul was that guy.
"I'm no Hollywood big shot, I tried to be for years." That was about as humbling and inspiring as I could imagine. Love you James.
I’ve never cried when a celebrity passed away. But Paul Walker was more than that he was such a great father & such an amazing man. He will forever be missed.

I freaking love this episode and he is one of the major if not the main reason I'm into cars as I was growing up (2000 kid). One thing I didn't hear mentioned about the accident is that the Porsche that he was in had the original dealer tires from years before and weren't structurally sound anymore. As far as I know it was a recent delivery/purchase for the tuning shop and they where taking it for a quick ride around the business parking lot. Apparently as they accelerated as you would expect the rear end came loose and they missed the slight curve in the curb and kit a pole at the outside apex of the turn. From what I've heard, if the tires where replaced there was a genuinely decent chance he'd be here today.
To add about tire life, I've personally seen tires that look completely fine on the outside completely delaminate and shred themselves in seconds. At a local auto x event a member had a set of old tires they wanted to try sliding around the course a bit with and we said no problem as he was a skilled driver and the course was away from anyone. He then lit up the tires and it rained down the entire tread within about 3 turns. We had to spend about 30 mins with every driver marshal and spectator to sweep and pick up chunks of rubber. Just because they look ok dosent mean they are.
@Mexicanus Prime I do happen to put pilot sports on my base model Corolla. I love tires.
@Mexicanus Prime isn't it weird that we have to shy away from saying only performance tires are good. But on that note I'm trying out my first set of touring tires the cross climate two.
Paul was a huge inspiration to all of us. If it weren’t for the movies, honestly not sure if I would be into cars. I used to play The Fast and the Furious on repeat when I was 4. It was my favorite movie. I always looked at him as a brother and someone to look up to even though I never knew him. The day tragedy struck, I balled my eyes out for days. He was the reason I got into cars, big reason on why I love Nissan. He made a difference in the world. He will never be forgotten.
I loved all Paul's movies and I felt like I lost a family member when he died. He was a down to earth superstar with a heart of gold. He is missed by many.
He was family
Family
I had no idea Paul was such an amazing dude, and that he lived such an awesome life. I really understand why people were so rocked by his passing. Thanks for making this, I’m glad to know his story 💛
Didnt he have an underage girlfriend that was close to his daughters age? or am I thinking of someone else?
@@geoffmiles5817 no you're right. He liked teenagers.
When I was 14, I used to joyride in my dad's 1993 300zx; just around the block and back in the garage.
One day I got the balls to take the car on a main street. Was doing fine and when I decided its time to come home, i went for a u-turn, tried to floor it, and ate a curb hard. Literally limped it home, called dad and told him what happened. Never cried so hard in my life.
16 years later here I am, with my own 1990 Fairlady Z 😭🤣
I totaled my dads truck truck in a Chevy dealership looking at new trucks that light pole jumped out in front of me I’m serious
The Z32 is my favorite car of all time and this hurt to read
@B737FLY I've been much better with mine thankfully lmao im currently building motor!
Man, I could feel the raw emotion from the narrator/vid creator on this, and also sympathize. Growing up, Paul was like a role model to me. I have my "favorites" when it comes to actors, but Paul was my ACTUAL favorite actor.
I still remember the day my wife sent me a text saying "Did you hear? Paul walker from Fast and furious died. Isn't he your favorite actor or something?". I thought she was just playing with me, and joking around. I go pull up a search on Google to find out and confirm its all real. The moment I discovered my wife wasn't playing around, my heart sank and I literally started tearing up. I thought to myself "this can't be real. This isn't happening". I was in denial. Then I started telling myself "I'm never gonna see him again, in any movie. That's it.... it's done. He's gone."
I just wanna make a point here, so people understand. I loved Paul walker as an actor so much, that I would even watch the garbage/unpopular no name movies, if he happened to be in it. That's all it took. Even if it was a crappy no name movie, I would watch it, JUST because he was in it. I liked and respect him THAT much as an actor and as a person. To his day, every time I see a new fast and furious movie with him not in it, I tell myself "he should have been in this"
RIP Paul. You touched a lot of hearts, and had much love from your fans. 👍
Seeing James start to break down talking about this made me shed a tear man 😔 RIP Paul you meant more to us than you could ever Imagine
James, I love it how much you show emotions in these videos. And I can see it's not acting, you really care about everything related to car stuff. Never change.
When James voice shakes... I do it too when I can't hide my emotions anymore.
Real men cry.
Attaboy, James.
Attaboy.
Y'all should of asked some Santa Barbara locals about Paul Walker. He was so humble. He would ride his bike around town to his favorite local restaurants and he was a very generous tipper. He used to go to my uncle's restaurant in Goleta and ways tipped $100 along with being great company
I cry watching this stuff I can't help it man. The love you have for motors and vehicles it's felt. Knowing certain people really do build our community it's love man
James is a good dude. Thanks for this episode, I was in high school when this happened. Never really thought about it too much bc it was honestly too difficult. So many of us grew up on those movies, and it reminds me of my youth and hanging with my pops. When that happened it was easier just to deny it and avoid ever seeing media coverage about him. This brought back a lot of emotion. Great channel y’all. If you need and customer service reps Im there! Would love to work for and with good people like you guys lol.
I remember watching fast and furious when I was 7 years old and that image of him driving a green eclipse made me realize how much I love cars and the automotive world. So even tho he isn't present on this world anymore, I would like to say thank you for everything Paul.
The tears were only made more painful knowing how much of a gem he was. Rest in Peace, Legend.
There is a Paul Walker documentary that is so worth watching. Super down to earth, super generous and cared so much more for people than himself
He also did animal conservation too which I found really cool, saw him in a natgeo program about researching and tagging Great White Sharks, didn't expect to see him there, but it was amazing, man was a legend
Yeah if you do some research youll see that he was about to expose some shit..which led to his death.
@@ray6976 *FBI* OPEN UP!
@@ray6976 that is completely false and fabricated information. He was actively dating minors when he was 34 he is a sicko
I live in the town he grew up in, my dad went to the gym with his dad. Poor dude lost weight after his son passed, and soon after stopped going to the gym and eventually kind of gave up. Lost his son, so all justifiably so. Sad process for everyone to watch him go like that. Good man.
Started tearing up when James talked about Reach Out Worldwide. I didn’t know Paul donated and gave so much. The greats are always taken too soon 😭 Great episode!
Paul literally had a 16 year old girlfriend when he was in his late 30s, dude was a creep.
@@chrisgonz19Three words: Shame on you.
@@chrisgonz19 yeah just spread hate on the deceased .
I remember going to see Fast&Furious opening weekend at the mall in my hometown with my friends. We all piled into my 95 Civic 2 door that was already lowered on trick suspension with all the bolt ons and a sweet cat back exhaust. The parking garage was like a car show. The noise was unreal. Best part about Paul walker in that movie is he was so relatable to us. We dressed the same and loved the the same cars. Great time to be a 19yo with a sweet ride.
Rest in peace Paul, he was a legend who was taken way too early from us. Fast and Furious will never be the same.
HE WAS SACRIFICED FOR HIS ROLE IN THE SKULLS. IN REFERENCE TO SKULL AND BONES WHERE IN THE MOVIE HE IS GIFTED A RED PORCHE AND HE ENDS UP DYING IN A RED PORCHE. RITUUAL SACRIFICED FOR THE JESUIT ORDER. GET IT FUCKING RIGHT
He shouldn't had sold his soul
@@gematriagoon respectfully, this is not the time or place to comment that
human garbage... Serves him right
@@spencexxx why are you so upset 😂😂
I still remember a story of Paul where he was in a jewellery store or something and a man (believed) to be in the military was looking at either a engagement ring or a wedding ring but could afford it and when Paul heard it, he went over to the dude and gave him his credit card and said “pick a ring, it’s on me”. What a down to earth dude. Gone far too soon for a person like him. Still miss him to this day. Rip Beautiful blue eyes.
8 years later and still can’t hold tears back 💔
He cries in every video.
Still a buster
@@bfeezey cry baby
I cried so hard at the end furious 7 I was embarrassed in a dark movie theater where no one could see me.
@@TheRealMrRoyal me too man, me too. I was absolutely crushed when I heard the news too, woke up to see it on the front page of Reddit. When she saw how upset I was my mum said it was like how she felt when Princess Diana died…. A parallel that’s really not that different when you think about it.
Man I was 14 when he died and I still remember that news like it was yesterday. The ending scene where he drove off into the sunset still makes me emotional. We didn't deserve a guy like him and more celebrities should take notes
god, i miss that man. I never knew him, but it felt like i did. I remember where i was when i found out about his passing, and it still hurts
Didn’t want to cry today but man James always knows how to make me cry 😢 rip Paul
Ted Bundy but now hes a car guy and the girls are children
Lol
🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Didn't know the guy personally but I still tear up every time I hear about his passing, seemed like a genuine dude that did not deserve to leave us so soon.
As someone who grow up at the Compton car races in his 91 CRX Si and recognized Prairie Ave & Hawthorne airport the minute it showed up on screen I didn't realized (although cheesy) it would start something crazy. Paul's passing hit me like a ton of bricks. RIP brotha!
Thank u guys for this! There are only 2 celebrities I've ever cried when I got to know about their passing and 1 is Paul and the other is Steve Irwin. Paul has been a huge influence on me and i wish one day I'll be able to have an R34 in 2F2F spec as a tribute to him!
human garbage... Serves him right
@@spencexxx elaborate
@@spencexxx so this is what you do with your free time? Troll comment sections with videos honoring dead people, your weird as hell
To me, Paul was like a big brother who shared interests in cars with me. And it was 2F2F that introduced me to the Skyline family, and the way he handled it. May he Rest In Peace.
Saddest comment so far.
I remember the day I got the news of his passing, I couldn't believe it... I had to search on the internet from multiple sources to make sure it wasn't one of those hoaxes that they would always do on-line. When I realized it was real it hit me hard as I just sat there crying, an idol of mine gone. He changed the car scene forever. Thank you Paul for everything.
So your idols are child molesters? Not cool, if you don't believe me look it up. He was a shined piece of crap
@@patrickthayer4060 wth are you talking about..
When I was a kid. I was super awkward and depressed. F&F was my escape. Me and my dad watched every movie together. When Paul died I broke down at my job. Life is much better for me now. And I can look back on the old F&F movies fondly and appreciate how much of an impact Paul had on my life and the lives of so many others that enjoyed the series, as well as the people he helped through is relief organization. RIP
It hit me hard when i learned that Paul passed away. I felt really sad even though i didn't know him personally. He was a big influence to me as a teenager.
Like always James; thanks for being human. I appreciate that you allow your emotions to show. Paul Walker was an incredible person and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel like I lost a friend when he died. I never met him but he always seemed down to earth and an incredible philanthropist.
Was it incredible that he was dating a child while he was 33 years old
@@msabccbscnnoanfoxnews Actually just stfu, heartfelt message and you're here pointing out the negative. The man is gone, show some respect.
Yes, Paul was so incredible that he wasn't caught or faced any charges when he was dating/sleeping with a 15-16 year old girl and committed statutory r*** in the state of Cali when the age of consent was 18 years old. What normal/average man could've pull off this feat?!
@@im8n256 Paul walker used to touch under age girls inappropriately he does not deserve to be respected
@@msabccbscnnoanfoxnews I honestly didn’t know that. It’s troubling to learn that now. It’s also not ok, in no way do I support that kind of behavior.
ngl I cried.
Shit happens all the time when someone talks about Paul, hell it even happens every time I listen to See You Again... He's in my heart for sure, and He'll always be there.
Thanks for making it about Paul, so many just want the likes but I could tell he meant something to you like he does to alot of us car enthusiasts around the world ❤️👍R.I.P Paul
This video surely deserves over 20million views... Paul walker was my real life Hero, up till this day when I watch fast 7 still get emotional.
I remember the day I heard the news. I was about 14 at the time and I was just so confused about it. I didn’t want to believe because I always thought Paul walker was untouchable. He and his movies got me into the car world and it sounds like he was an outstanding person
Thanks for this episode man... when i heard Paul died, i just couldnt even bear myself to watch the last installment back then for years after... and im just sitting here watching you break down like that with all that love and respect for him. My grandpa died a few weeks ago who was kind of my Paul Walker, to me, and up to this point i just couldnt even bear myself to let the tears out just like with Paul's last movie... but somehow i just broke down with you here crying like shit. Ive even got a 2g Eclipse a while ago, which im riding in respect of both Paul and my Grandpa as kind of a legacy to both of them who formed me in their own ways. Anyways... keep them poppin' headlights UP bro! Appreciate your work. Thank you.
hell yeah bro
I'm 35 and there were 2 days that i clearly remember for how devastated i was on them:
1st was 10th of September 2006 when Schumacher announced he will retire from Formula 1
2nd was 30th of November 2013 when Paul died.
Don't remember any other exact days when i have cried except for those. My 2 most big idols have now been gone.
One thing I like about the fast and furious franchise is that "Brian O'Connor" was never killed off, and is still sort of part of the franchise
Seriously, back in early 2000's when I was a teen, all my savedata names to NFS Underground, Gran Turismo and all those games was always called "Brian"... It's because of or thanks to him that I fell so deep into automotive world and that I have more than 20 cars now...
Someone once said "why do good people die so young?" A man said "well which flowers do you pick in the garden?" The other person said "the most beautiful and best ones" The man said "exactly..."
This guy is a LEGEND!
Thank you for this. Paul deserves so much more. This is just a taste of how great he was and always will be. Forever in our hearts; thank you Paul.
No shade, im kinda wondering how old most of the people in the comment section are. Paul would wonder this too, but in a more, lustful and imaginative way.
@@veroorzaakt6387 yeah, he'd surely be excited to see some 16 year old girls in here.
wtf
I was a freshman in high school when he passed. The first f&f is one of the first movies I ever remember watching over and over growing up. It felt like I lost someone I knew.
It's difficult to keep it together when James gets emotional.
Fucking hell, the end was tough not to break down and start crying. You could hear it in his voice which just made it worse.
Facts
He barely held himself together
"... when James gets emotional." Which happens about every other video. Still gets me every time.
Man, I almost didn't click this one.
"Everything you need to know about Dale Earnhardt" still hardest to watch🥺!
Although an amazing video😉.
Paul used to come to surf in some small towns here in Chile. In 2010 we got hit by a huge earthquake and later tsunami. It was devastating.
Well, Paul came himself to help out, just like any regular volunteer.
Great guy
Sure he was !!🥺
#Seeyouagain💙
Right in the feels. And we knew from the beginning of this video this would be hit in the feels. My whole childhood felt like it was lost when he passed away
Most beautiful video you guys have made, loved Paul before and now after finding out how he helped people I believe he's the best human this world has ever seen
