HAPPY FRIDAY! Hope you had a great 4th of July. As always if you're looking to support, the best way is to get your car parts from www.martiniworks.com!

Big respect to donut for how they handled it, still have been disappointed with donut content for quite awhile

They all have investors that put them in a diff channel. Okay not all but it's a deff possibility and or corporate bs comes into play. Hoonigan is said to have done being ripped apart prior to Ken blocks death ..idk that I believe that.

Donut lost 3, james is gone too, but theres been no mention from either side about it. Many people have noticed all of his cars and every sign of him is gone from the donut screens. Which is crazy, some big legal issue must be going on. Sad they wont acknowledge it.

Yeah crazy I miss this history videos it's why I stopped watching. I have a feeling he was paid out nicely if you look at what he's up to now.

He's still going to events with hankook tires and they are a sponsor of donut media, I'm confused about the situation.

A car guy that's what I want to see is people get hands on down and dirty that's why I loved the show so much... And now it's just deteriorated

Hey this is boring as s*** it's time to go

It was cool hearing everyone talk about the tire making process at Continental! I’m the head inspector of a company that works with Continental to clean and repair their tire molds. We handle cleaning, venting, welding, machining, and we just recently acquired a new machine that will even be able to create brand new molds from scratch

It sounded like some pharma work I've done.

6:35 James has been absent from a lot of the recent content, including the big 3 podcast where they covered up the original mural. I think Big Time is the smoke to a fire that is core creators like James/ Nolan/ etc

Haha!! Scotty kilmer at the corner😂

Fitment on the other corner behind Alex. Probably every twice a year, Scotty will always have a video saying it's the end of his channel or something

I may be delirium level tired, but something about how you worded your comment and your pfp made me think you were tay zonday for a split second.

Rev up your engines!

Mornin Boys! Got into Donut when the Up To Speeds were fresh, even before the hyped ones when James had a more calm presentation. Then stuff started getting wild (which wasn't the problem) and the misinformation (which was my prob) started becoming more frequent. I get it, views are views, but when it became a culture of finding a source whether it was accurate or not, copy and pasting into a new format, and putting it out there for a crowd of people that might like what they see and want to get into it because of that, they're probably going to look at that as the basis of what to do and how to do it. I had a whole story about a friend who went out to get a civic with vtec and came back with a LX, but the long of it short is "PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't just go based off what you hear from influencers... Do your research, do it twice, and then one last time before you click buy".

I’m about to have my first child, any chance y’all make MartiniWorks onesies? 😂 Been loving the content. 🤙

I love hearing people talk about tire manufacturing. You guys hit the nail on the head with what it's actually like. Sumter is a pretty great plant from the footage I've seen, Only personally been to the Illinois Continental plant when I was a tire developer there. You ever wanna talk tires hit me up

I used to work across the interstate from the BMW facilities in Greer, SC. Glad y'all had a great time

donut peaked being in fh5

You guys should just show the R34 already, we saw it in the background of the last few episodes. I thought the podcast peeps were supposed to get the news first🥺

Happy Friday fellas and Goodmorning just clocked in time to listen to the pod at work all day!

Mornin boys🫡 happy Mercia

Love your takes on donut and thank you for bringing into perspective how chill they are being about bigtime, I truly forgot about that till you mentioned it

I need to pay more attention. The wood looks good though can't wait to see where you'll go from here.

Build update on my Bronco we got the rear fenders coming and we got all the front end done. Maybe another month or two it’ll be gone to paint! Also got some rc drift builds starting! Had to make some changes from the cars and coffee as I figured out some of the weak points. But it’ll be back soon!

Ad revenue tanking in January makes sense bc the holidays are over, and everyone is broke until mid-March with tax refunds

Man this is the content I missed from the old fitment days glad I found this !!

Perfect way to start my Friday. Thanks boys!

James Pumphrey, Zach Jobe, and Jeremiah Burton are the only reason I started watching donut and stayed a fan.

Realizing that working for yourself is better for a big company that doesn't care about your vision. MCM and Cleetus are the only two big KZread channels that have been successful for so long.

There was another person who created a video and said they were on the creative side of Donut and they mentioned pre-buy out, they were two levels from the top and after the Donut was bought they were nine levels from the top. I could definitely see how something like that could be frustrating. Now having to jump through hoops to even get the same content created and everything scrutinized by people who don't necessarily have any idea on how the product is made.

Donut has too many videos that are just 15 min ads

Need to rethink the content like cleetus trying to make a lot of the more hard-core car culture stuff digestible for more people while still staying true to it as much as they can

You guys should do a members only video for the new build! What it is..what the plans are for it. Where your at on it. Early access perks for the members 😏😏

Getting the body kit put on 👀

I like the new channel big time it doesn't feel corporate or scripted

Sell some drag racing parts on the site for import and domestic and that will bring in a lot of traffic 😮🤑💯👍

E36 M3 build would be cool. Get a cheap M3 and building it back up on a budget.

my lsd and new synchro rebuilt kit come in this week for my 260whp ep3. Gonna be a blast.

Im still on the hunt for a clean/rust free RX-8 for my build. Ive been building motorcycles for the last few years, and I need another car project.

"The era of having a personality within a brand is done for." That's a scary thought.

Next podcast can you please talk about Casey Putch's Omega car!!! I know he can be a little political but he made an environmentally friendly chassis powered by a I4 turbo diesel that gets around 100mpg. He needs big channels talking about him :)

Never got into donuts media

James Nolan Zack and Jeremiah brought me to this show.. if it wasn't for them guys I probably would have never even watched donut media

As a finance guy who's into cars, I love the EBITDA EBITDA EBITDA hahahaha

Bigtime is currently at 1.3 million subs holy shit with 3 videos wow

**Whew** What A WILD 4th 😆 What Did Yous Guys Get Into? I've got my Cup Of Joe, LETS GO! 😂

Alex, If you're looking to get back into car reviews, I've got a pretty unique one you're welcome to check out. 😏😏

Oh yeah?!

I stopped watching custom offsets and fitment industry for the same reason. I don't like WTP holsters... Broke on me. But I trust what you guys sell if the math checks out. They lost their creditably

Building my 03 e46 currently, can absolutely say its a regulator thing haha.

I've been watching donut for a long long time

40:00 sustainability isnt lame at all. If youre intelligent enough to trust and understand science you know its important.

FI hit y'all with some NDAs? Glad if they tried y'all with a non-compete seems like wasn't enforcable! Man i love the smell of green tires! I could get used to working in a tire room. Mixing, extrusion, curing, warehouse... pass. That A/C tire room tho? Yessir. Soccer is the ish, but yea ties suck.

Mornin

You guys were on Fitment industries right?

Guys, those aren’t hand held mics. On the bright side, it looks like great practice to cup the nuts.

They have 1.3m subscribers and have made 3 videos. That's absolutely bonkers.

Car throttle let Alex do the same thing. I think they didn’t quite expect the impact to be as big of a thing

Please refine the website. It is very hard to use and very slow I need a new wheel set

Got half way thru, annoyed, they too busy with corporate crap and sells vs the love of cars, driving and wrenching. U dnt get into it bc of money

Big Time was gonna be a huge channel regardless and I think Donut knew it. Better to let the guys have their say and part ways somewhat amicably and help them launch their channel so they can look like somewhat of the good guys. If they didn’t do that, they would’ve been vilified immediately and it would’ve caused way more damage, AND Big Time would’ve gotten just as big when people started finding out about it. I think Donut handled it as well as they could’ve.

In the these automotive channels only work when people use (watch) them AS THE COMMERCIALS FOR THE BUSINESS OR PHYSICAL PRODUCT THAT THEY WERE MENT TO PROMOTE.....seems like the director of these commercials thought it was about them and started KZread channels and are just NOW are realizing that it ISN'T....GOOD JOB BOYS ON MARTINI WORKS IT IS A COPY OF FITMENT BUT JUST HONEST AND ETHICAL!!!!THATS THE AMERICAN DREAM!!!!!!!!!🇺🇲👍🤯💯🤑😲🤯👍

The way it's going the owners of donut are going to lose their whole goddamn staff. Because the owners don't care they don't care about the people... As an owner it's all about what's going to make us money

@martiniworks Continental also owns General Tires

How It's Made: Car Tires - kzread.info/dash/bejne/YoqBmZZ7eMXFo5c.html

If you fellas see this. My broke self would like a review on the Ironman imove gen2 (drifting but mainly just in general)

Gotta be a Lexus SC.

Why did everyone leave????

Donuts not the same as when I started watching it like 20 f****** years ago while not that long but probably about 5:00

Sc300? Or 240sx have heavy stock hoods 😂

Reminds me of 3 guys I knew

I kind of think James wants to Branch out and do his own comedian act again. I really don't know I'm not 100% but that's where I think James wants to go.... Be honest I hope he does I hope James succeeds in his comedian career..

It’s really not donut, it’s the parent company. Donut did what it had to to grow, the issue is these parent companies come in and take creative control and now we have this cookie cutter algorithm driven mass production low effort cheap to make videos that completely derailed the vision of the channel. Also I’m sure James is done with hosting at the very least. It seems like he got paid out

I think auto KZreadr have gotten too over their head lost touch with reality. Example too many builds going on, also trying to own multiple super cars. I remember when someone owning a sls Benz was super cool now everyone got LA Ferrari and 2 Bugatti. Especially for the economy we are currently in, some may disagree that just my perspective of it I love success but it’s a little too overwhelming still chase your dream. I’m day one KZread watcher from Saabkyle04, doug demuro many more real legends

I miss the fitment vids but i never have nor will but anything overpriced from them butnwhen yall left. I left.

TLDW...Anyone want to summarize?

Donut already losing viewers😂😂 non of the newer uploads have a million views

They are a commercial company than a car channel

vehicle 👍

Zack and Jobe barely even mentioned their new channel in that video on Donut. I guess it was cool of Donut to let them mention it, but you guys are making it sound like Donut let them go out there and talk all this ish. Which they kinda did, but only in the video they released on their own channel. Donut couldn't stop them doing that even if they wanted to.

Automotive Contant is dying. The culture is dying.

It’s hard to work 😂😂😂😂😂

f the elites

you lost me at complaining about soccer

Can you guys switch chairs ?

BORING is why imagine filming OUTDOORS for ONCE .

Just delete the channel

Is300 drift car….cars are pain is how it’s going🥲

Man I was never a fan of Donut, I did like the science guy he was awesome but James was just meh specially after that one time when he start it Simping for Carblondie defending her and fighting people on the comment section on IG. 😑
