Monster garage was dope back in the day
22:26 They're still.. actually I don't know where they're at 😬😬😬
If you cheated on Sandra Bullock and had affairs with multiple women,, (like he did) I won't be celebrating you.
F that guy.
Stephs into Pokémon? Ohhhh shit, her dms are about to blow up now.
Ads are getting out of control
No into song? It's not about farts it all about cars?
Gotta update your news. Jessie and Bonnie filed for divorce last week!
I was about to click away then I saw Steph lol😊
Sorry Steph this is boring I’m out
We need an Episode on Metal Mulisha and or Famous Stars and Straps
Show has lost its soul still educational but ehh
Interesting show, but Chanel Gulf Coast adds nothing
“This guys a scumbag”
Half way into actually learning about him instead of just reading New York Times articles…
“ Whoah he’s interesting and business minded! He did so much for the genre etc etc”
I know Joe webber is narrating stuff but I can't help but see the clear eyes guy in the back of my mind.
Past gas Forever
Take away the ads and the non topic talk,this thing is 45min.
I was the same way Nolan… I miss that show!
Steph is getting hot and bothered the more I watch this! 🤣
Blast from the past. That show was crazy.
Predatory payday loan ads are pretty gross.

"GEFORCE NOW" = 💵💵… >>>> "PS#" y "XS[_]" y "Nintendo __"
nolan just straight up doxxing poor steph lol
I remember when all my friends where hyped out on Pimp My Ride I preferred Monster Garage. Paul Walker wears WCC t-shirt in FF2 when Brian and Roman going to Police station at the beginning of the movie.
