    That special had one of my all-time favorite lines from Top Gear. Clarkson flips his bonnet up on the windshield of his Range Rover, and peers through the cooling vents he cut as his only method of seeing the road.

      The engagement per minute of podcasts on YT is much lower and YT uses that metric to give visibility to a channel, so if some videos don't do as well the others eventually will drop in reach

    • @hexgraphica
      @hexgraphica 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      And uploading only the most interesting bits on YT is bringing content to those who can't listen to whole podcasts, and have no time to look for that particular section.
      Notice that with the amount of content of a 30min Top Gear challenge you could make 8 videos with YT pace of narration

      I think it was a good idea for them to stop. Everything must end at some point. It's best for them to end it right now and still do things together eventually, but it was a warning when Clarkson, May and Hammond started their own businesses with Richard selling quite a bunch of his own cars to finance his venture. Even though they're starting to enter their 60s, their age is starting to show.

    The Brown Recluse story doesn't quite add up, either Hammond isn't recalling it right, or the Dr. that told him it was a BR doesn't know what he's talking about. First of all, the rainforest isn't the kind of climate for the brown recluse. It's possible. But extremely unlikely. Second, they are not the size of your hand, a brown recluse, maximum, 6mm-20mm.
    Now, possible spiders he could be talking about are tarantulas based off his given size description, or a Brazilian Wondering Spider based off his accurate rotting flesh description.
