Motortrend!

[Jackie Treehorn]

Freiberger is doing videos on YouTube again. He has a new one that feels like an early episode of roadkill, except he’s by himself. I enjoyed it.

Watching it now

 

[Jeep Ride]

Watched it yesterday good stuff.

 

[surpip]

Watching now too, hundred percent would’ve swiped that tape dispenser.

 

[Mikenike]

Pretty good. He is way more tolerable on his own and doing that sort of stuff as opposed to how forced roadkill had become. Also i dig the torino wagon

 

[Beat95yj]

He can see the writing on the wall

Happy to have them going back to YouTube

I hope they made a decent chunk of money with the motortrend/discovery rollaround

 

[Zg86]

Yeah i thought him going to youtube was rather ominous.

Bad juju?
From something that’s going to wind up in a landfill when they demo the place?

Unspoken rule, you never take shit from haunted/abandoned places.
You get bad luck until it's returned. I'm superstitious enough to not risk it

Also it doesn't belong to him. He outright said it is a privately owned site belonging to a friend. I don't take things from friends. Even shit they wont miss.

I didn’t hear that part, would’ve left it in that case.

 

[JTreadway]

Just finished the Torino episode.
Just like OG Roadkill for sure. Hopefully the style continues

I was thinking the same thing.

Right, crazy how many people on here drone on about thieves being the lowest of the low but have no problem stealing something themselves...

 

[welndmn]

I'm glad to see him doing the long format videos on youtube again!
I how he got all the money out of motortrend for everything he was apart of, but like most of kept saying when discovery bought them, they did not care 1 bit about the automotive programming.

Don't know if this has been posted but some interesting stuff from Dave Chapelle.......

Anyone watch it yet and can give me cliffs? I like Dave a lot.....I just hate watching a 2 hr podcast

Just watch it on 1.5x speed or 2x speed and it's only 1.5 hours to 1 hour

Doesn't really share much additional insight into what happened beyond "Big company A" buying out "Big company B" and then "Big company A" wanting to change everything that made "Big company B" successful in the first place.

It was good listen back and forth to work few times

Accurate summary. I feel like some Podcast hosts tend to forget that people are tuning in to listen to the special guest talk, not the hosts talk over the special guest.

 

[Levigarrett76]

It was interesting listening to some of the behind the scenes stories of him and fred and his take on youtubes clickbaity bs....

 

[rockota]

Cancelled my discovery + subscription since there’s nothing on. Did watch Ian’s new show and it’s… ok.

But noticed that motortrend is promoting “decarbonizing America” ahead of all auto shows.

Talk about not knowing their audience :rolleyes:

Edit: “driving decarbonization in America”

 

[Ummduh]

New roadkill out.

Stubby Bob episode.

Frieburger fails hard in this one (drag link theory).

Motortrend shutting down 'Roadkill' Is Finished as MotorTrend Productions Reportedly Shuts Down

 

[TrikeKid]

Been coming for a while, there's a reason so many of them have their own YouTube channels now

 

[Dan_Goodwin]

While I'm sad to see RK go away the show had lost a lot of its charm from the early days. I certainly think there's an opportunity for someone to make RK 2.0 and keep the spirit of the show alive like what was done with UA.

It seems like this was what was going to happen one way or another. I gave up checking for new episodes cuz there just aren't any.

Now more than half of MT things in my youtubes is about electric garbage, and judging from the comments and lack of views, their audience base doesn't want anything to do with that. Which WE knew, but I guess they still don't know.
