Thanks for the frank and honest conversation at the end of the video about the reality of being a long time content creator on TH-cam. I feel like most automotive channels I’ve been watching for years have all alluded to the recent issues they’ve been having but almost nobody I’ve seen has talked about it in much detail. It was very insightful, and honestly a bit depressing, but much appreciated.
"My game plan is parking fucking cars dude" 🤣 I'm dead. Matt your brutal honesty is so awesome. It's really a shame how they've destroyed this platform because there is zero incentive for great content creators like yourself to do anything worthwhile. For what it's worth I'm going to start supporting creators I like by actually trying their products, and other goods. This is the talk that needs to go viral, I I respect you both for saying how much you hate having to "do the youtube face" and sell adds but at the end of the day we all gotta pay the mortgage.
The relationship you guys have despite living on opposite coasts is clear to see, Great friends where it never changes. Very natural and good to watch. Good laughs and entertaining 👏🏻

The thumbnail makes it appear that Matt is trying to sell Larry on the pre-war car lifestyle. “Larry, with a newsboy cap, some goggles, and a tweed jacket with patched elbows… I’m telling ya, you’re going to look FIRE!”
I 100% agree about the TH-cam platform as a viewer. I'm subscribed to all kinds of stuff from powerlifting, cycling, mountain biking, cars, gaming, etc. The only thing that shows up in my recommendations is based on what I'm currently watching, and maybe 25% are channels I'm subscribed to. It's become useless to subscribed to channels. I do still subscribe in random situations, but it's more because I saw a channel and don't want to completely forget they exist. I literally won't watch recommended videos sometimes of something that's not my interests because I don't want my feed to get flooded. I watched a rollerblading video the other day because I was like whatever that looks like it might be a good video, now half my feed is rollerblading which I'm not even interested in doing or watching, all because I watched two rollerblading videos like a week ago.
Man, I had no idea that the economics of TH-cam had changed so much! I learned how to detail based on Larry’s videos. I won’t gripe so much about the sponsored content 😅. Nevertheless, I hope you guys still grace us with content!
Thank you *so much* for the TH-cam insider discussion. The newest algorithm requires creators to focus so much time and energy on metrics that video quality has to suffer (not their fault). I have to go search manually to find my favorite TH-camr’s newest videos. We share in your frustration!! I am ready for an alternative, but building a YT competitor is a steep hill to climb. Amazon maybe?
It's so sad to hear guys like Mat talk about how the machine of TH-cam is grinding them down. Good guys like this shouldn't have to be punished by the system because they aren't a new a shiny channel.
Matt & Larry I absolutely love both your channels & follow you both weekly. Larry, this is really more for you but an opportunity does exist for you to go clean either the battleship New Jersey or dreadnought Texas. The Texas is still in the yards in Galveston and is slated to come out at the end of the year. The New Jersey is due for a yard dry docking in Philadelphia sometime early next year. Cleaning or helping maintain either of those ships would be a fantastic high profile project for your show.
Have your people reach out to Ryan Semanski, the curator of the battleship New Jersey museum and memorial to see if there could be overlap in this possible upcoming project.
I would love to hear a BTS TH-cam creator podcast. I find all the analytics fascinating. To Larry’s point, instead of constantly throwing content out there, pulling back and doing a high quality video less often would make sense. There is a reason why tv shows only make a handful of episodes every season. It would give you more time to focus on other things in lieu of being pressured to put a video out every week. You guys have a dedicated audience. They will go where you at. For Matt to put it in radio terms, it’s similar to when Stern moved to Sirius. The audience still came.
Matt the end of this video is great. Tbh ur my favorite podcaster. Actually entertaining and insightful on real world topics such as social media and all that
When you buy a car, you MUST be ready to walk away if you're not comfortable with the deal. Factories are pumping out cars, if you walk away and wait a few weeks another deal will pop up and you will get the car you want.
I’m really surprised there hasn’t been some sort of consumer oversight for dealers to plainly detail where the numbers come from and the “fees”. I just went through this the other week as well.
Matt, and Zack, and the rest of the team… just want to say I really enjoy the podcasts and OneTake videos. And now that I am actually getting a check every month with exactly the same money I’ll be back on the patreon. It’s literally going to be one of the very first reoccurring bills I’ll have saved on my card. Being a simple carpenter is hard. Being a building material salesman is less hard. But it sure as shit pays the same every week. I also have a corporation looking over my shoulder now but the idea is two-four years of this and then I can kinda figure out what I want to do. So there is that.
I work in construction sales mate. Its not bad. You build connections that follow you wherever you go. People call me because I make problems go away. It's good. Yes I do complicated things but it feels good making decent money and helping your mates.
I’m be honest, obviously I’m here cause I like cars and I enjoy both your content cause of this reason. But there is zero way I’m watching anyone even the worlds most premier and famous car detailer clean a dilapidated bumper car ride outside name that small town no one’s ever heard of Kansas. To me this just would have the type of broad appeal those producers think. Now a space shuttle that just went through earth’s atmosphere…..now we are cooking with fire. Literally. Stuff writes it’s self and let’s face it rockets and space shuttles are way more “in” than any theme park. No matter how much Americana you stuff into an episode. Great podcast love hearing you two talk. It’s the perfect recipe for a podcast. Two or more great friends talking.
I don't necessarily think someone at TH-cam is turning a dial to adjust the goal post on what trends, but I just think that what people want to watch changes. I'm getting old, so I don't get all the TikTok and shorts but that seems to be what most people want to see.
Larry and Mat should talk wiht the Walser stores in Minneapolis, they do a one price, no commissioned sales people that is right in line with what they are talking about.
Just FYI California is the only state that has a fixed doc fee, currently $85. No CA dealer can charge more than that. The national average is about $500.
Regarding the TH-camr Insider Discussion, I think another important part is to know your worth. Have a number in mind, where it does or doesn't make sense to keep doing this. You're either doing it for the love of the game, OR you have to be shameless. The younger generation of creators is more shameless, and more hungry. Gotta be willing to go get it and either lower your personal standards to be an algorithm king, or to accept that this is a more altruistic, or self-branding exercise to sell your products. So the monetary benefit will be indirect. I know for a fact, Larry, that I would never have heard of your products, if not for youtube videos, and I've learned an awful lot from your vids.
Interesting and depressing discussion about the YT content. Being a subscriber did mean this video was put into my subscriptions list at least, but I had to manually visit that list and manually check for new videos.
…as far as your thoughts about the financial profitability of creating your videos on this platform, I agree, it’s not sustainable. That’s probably why some creators have a “2nd” Chanel. They’ve found a way to drive up their views through the algorithm of promoting “new creators”. What needs to happen is for a streaming service, like “N” to offer and support content creators. They essentially already started doing so with some comedy specials like Joe Koy’s for example. It seems like a no brainer to me.
@@darius2640 every lexus and toyota dealer is required to inspect the drivers floormat when the vehicle goes through their service dept. They are supposed to have multiple people inspect it as per toyota and lexus guidelines. If they cant get that right they usually cant get other things right.
To Matt’s point about shorts on Instagram, I actually unfollowed him on Instagram because I was sick of the shorts from the podcast I had already listened to. Recently refollowed since I was on his Instagram and noticed they stopped.
I have long believed that any platform that relies on advertising will eventually find it unsustainable and see its model fail. Advertising is a fickle mistress.
It sounded like you were complaining about making $5,600 in 4 days (2,600 for 2 videos and $3,000 for one ad). It may have involved international travel, but you didn't have to work 40 hours. If you made that amount every week, that's about $280 per year. What's wrong with that?
Crazy when people with money think they can negotiate the price of a car because they have access to auction reports. Go buy one at an auction and save yourself the time…
Funny how Matt mentions that “we the people” are subsiding the purchase of vehicles over 6,000 pounds. By definition a subsidy is an amount of money the government is paying you for an item to lessen the burden. This portion of the tax code allows you to reduce the price of the vehicle from your taxable income. Paying less in net taxes is not a subsidy, the government is not paying for any portion of that vehicle… Very odd to use that in the same breathe as talking about EVs, which are literally subsidized.
Never lets an opportunity go by to sht talk people he thinks little of that would normally purchase or need a HD truck, or whatever irrational hate he feels regarding the TRX
@@JR10_RR Not just Matt, all of the older enthusiast journalists who are now over 40 and are “past” fast loud cars. They say things like “at this point these super trucks are just stupid, silly” No, you’ve just aged out of the demographic. They say “are kids even into cars anymore” Yeah, kids don’t grow up wanting to write for a magazine, it’s 2023. There’s so much enthusiasm in major metros that these street takeovers are causing a problem. It may be irresponsible in a lot of ways, but so was Matt and Rob Feretti bombing down the freeway with the Intention to get a ticket.
I just have to preface this by saying no offense, cause I'm a fan and i don't think you're a bad guy, *but,* when you talk about the 6,000lb GVWR writeoff, you say "making the rest of us subsidize their purchases." you don't exploit these loopholes, but you're definitely in the same economic class as the people who do, not the "rest of us" 99%. I don't think you're immorally wealthy, but you're not working class nor did you grow up working class as I understand. it's weird for you to sort of indirectly position yourself as such.
@@mr.snoopy8732 generally i actually agree with his political takes, i just think he needs to check where he's coming from with them. but i'm also not a democrat so 🤷♂
“We the people” is a little rich coming from a guy who’s dad was making 10 million a year in stocks alone working in the fashion industry. I think in years past Matt’s “Bull Run” phase and making jokes and racing on the highway doing wild stuff has led him down this path of doing his own redemption arc that no one asked for. Despite that he seems like a genuine guy and is a great writer, with social media now it’s inevitable that these different side blend
I can only speak for myself but I don’t watch the one take’s because I have absolutely no interest most if not all modern cars. Back in 2018 is when you were doing driving impressions on cars I would actually purchase. I watch savagegeese for the modern cars because I find it entertaining how bad the modern cars actually are. They get into the technology of the car. I don’t need a video to tell me a 4500 lb electric car drives like shit.
Matt called me 25 hours before he arrived. Last min thing. If you actually knew me or had any personal experience with me.., you’d know that I don’t, have never, and will not pay to be on a shoe. (Especially one of my closest friends)

The thumbnail makes it appear that Matt is trying to sell Larry on the pre-war car lifestyle. “Larry, with a newsboy cap, some goggles, and a tweed jacket with patched elbows… I’m telling ya, you’re going to look FIRE!”
I can’t wait to go for ride!
I have the utmost respect for Larry’s skills, knowledge, and work ethic.

His ford GT detail video was absolutely amazing
Came for the convo between two car guys I really like...stuck around and greatly enjoyed the 1:45 YT insider discussion.

Great convo. The BTS at the end was interesting to hear. Keep up the good work Matt and Zack
I enjoyed the chat! Cheers from the UK
When you buy a car, you MUST be ready to walk away if you're not comfortable with the deal. Factories are pumping out cars, if you walk away and wait a few weeks another deal will pop up and you will get the car you want.
I worked at a Lexus dealer for years. Everyone washed cars with brooms

Retro is probably the best word to describe your car

Bro, I don't understand any of that. Apologies
I've said this, don't be afraid to walk away. There's no car worth being handled like that at a dealer.
If you're in the business, you should know up front when you're negotiating the price of the car to immediately get clarity on back end fees
Larry should polish the Jersey side of the Statue of Liberty, mirror finish!
Absolutely love when Larry is on the podcast. btw when did MATT GET SKINNIER THAN LARRY
I don't necessarily think someone at TH-cam is turning a dial to adjust the goal post on what trends, but I just think that what people want to watch changes. I'm getting old, so I don't get all the TikTok and shorts but that seems to be what most people want to see.
1:52:00 What Matt describes here is just the reality working for any corporation.
The era of car TH-cam slowly comes to a close.
As someone who drives a 3/4 ton van every day I absolutely love getting into a small nimble car.
Great video as always, FYI on the license plate wrap this is currently only available in California.
Larry and Mat should talk wiht the Walser stores in Minneapolis, they do a one price, no commissioned sales people that is right in line with what they are talking about.
Let larry finish his thoughts
7:49
Isnt 2018 around the same time that the modified one takes slowed down? Now thats what would get me on patreon!!
Causation for sure. If you spend money making videos for a pittance. When it turns backwards you know immediately when it's a loss leader
funny, after watching this, TikTok showed me 2 Video about Ammonyc - something is happening in the background.
So funny to see, 2 friends giving each other shit about the little stuff. (Sugar amount in coffee, how to apply a vinyl license plate) so funny😂
You really buried the lede here, fellas! Fun back end of the pod.
Great podcast guys
Grear Pod. I listened
Customers are getting f'd these days. Manufacturers/dealers are trying to squeeze people hard. Look at PC component prices or power tool batteries.
Just FYI California is the only state that has a fixed doc fee, currently $85. No CA dealer can charge more than that. The national average is about $500.
Watched, liked and commented
TH-cam sounds like a pretty successful PIMP
What is your opinion on the new California bill that implements speed cameras? Tips/strategies to avoid them?
LMAO Real buddy roast moment @1:25:24

Bravo, Larry!
Btw, you DON’T need coffee 😂
I'm jealous of him. Good on ya Larry
My Doc Hollywood reaction was the same as Larry's.
So that's how that works. I'm calling my CPA on the way to get the Escalade V you spoke so highly of. 🎉
Saying you are doing nothing different when you stopped doing one takes in modded cars that came out almost everyday is crazy
Last time I went to a lexus dealer for service, they could not even inspect a floor mat properly. Off to a great start with this episode....
why do you need a dealer to inspect a floormat?
The Lexus dealers have been declining in quality. The dealer experience in the 90’s/early 2000’s was top notch
@@darius2640 every lexus and toyota dealer is required to inspect the drivers floormat when the vehicle goes through their service dept. They are supposed to have multiple people inspect it as per toyota and lexus guidelines. If they cant get that right they usually cant get other things right.
Whats the issue larry has with his current taycan?
My 16 f150 supercab is right under 6k lbs
To Matt’s point about shorts on Instagram, I actually unfollowed him on Instagram because I was sick of the shorts from the podcast I had already listened to. Recently refollowed since I was on his Instagram and noticed they stopped.
Didn’t Larry already redo the floor like three times?
I have long believed that any platform that relies on advertising will eventually find it unsustainable and see its model fail. Advertising is a fickle mistress.

you should know that even toyota dealers are charging 5-15k over msrp for tundras, trd pro 4runners, etc
Ah OK. You want us to subsidize what YOU want.
It broke my heart when Matt made fun of Larry's new show instead of supporting him. Great podcast otherwise though.
Crazy when people with money think they can negotiate the price of a car because they have access to auction reports. Go buy one at an auction and save yourself the time…
I want to see a car of Larry's that he claims is disgusting.
Funny how Matt mentions that “we the people” are subsiding the purchase of vehicles over 6,000 pounds.

It’s the same guy that gets a dealer license to avoid paying fees, taxes and plates on said cars.
That's the liberal Democrat way. Matt routinely brings his politics into the podcasts. Here's a prime example of that hypocrisy.
@@mr.snoopy8732 generally i actually agree with his political takes, i just think he needs to check where he's coming from with them. but i'm also not a democrat so 🤷♂
“We the people” is a little rich coming from a guy who’s dad was making 10 million a year in stocks alone working in the fashion industry.
I think in years past Matt’s “Bull Run” phase and making jokes and racing on the highway doing wild stuff has led him down this path of doing his own redemption arc that no one asked for. Despite that he seems like a genuine guy and is a great writer, with social media now it’s inevitable that these different side blend
He and his family do exploit those loopholes.
imagine complaining about making $4k in 4 days, not including patreon.
exactly and that doesnt include all the parking spots and detailing products they fog on every utube vid
I wonder if Farrah still has his Trump helmet?
Echo city 😢😢😢
I can only speak for myself but I don’t watch the one take’s because I have absolutely no interest most if not all modern cars. Back in 2018 is when you were doing driving impressions on cars I would actually purchase. I watch savagegeese for the modern cars because I find it entertaining how bad the modern cars actually are. They get into the technology of the car. I don’t need a video to tell me a 4500 lb electric car drives like shit.
Larry is great. Matt, not so much...
Why do you watch?
@@Heyitsallgoodman Didn't even watch. Just saw the thumbnail and couldn't stand to watch
This guy again! He must pay top dollar to apperar on every youtube channel known to men!
He went to high school with Matt and also the TH-cam car world is small.
Who Larry?
Matt called me 25 hours before he arrived. Last min thing. If you actually knew me or had any personal experience with me.., you’d know that I don’t, have never, and will not pay to be on a shoe. (Especially one of my closest friends)
The audio on every Larry show is trash
Listening to this millionaire whine about paying $1,300 doc fee…..🥱
