Its great to hear this side of y'all instead of the "character" side. I find the genuine side so much more interesting even if the main channel is very entertaining. Also, as you said at the end of the day it's a business. Sometimes the viewers with an outside perspective assume there's personal drama involved, which is probably why some people say you burn bridges, but really have no idea what's actually going on behind the scenes.
@@cvddl3s You have to be a lot more loud and outgoing to maintain a large audience. Like stradman seems like he just drank a cup of coffee all the time but off camera he’s super chill
Dean just released "the business side of things" on Instagram. It seems a direct shot at dde. I feel bad for dde because of the plans and momentum going on with Dean's race team, and Dde. 1 bought a garage 2 bought a "race team" 3 bought a viper for the "race team" and practice 4 bought the ranch hand 5 Bought a Ferrari to turn into a race car with said "race team" 6 Slide to survive? 7 Helping provide a sponsor Hypernft. 8 Getting all almost nothing you paid for. yikes 9 A race team choking when it has the most attention. 10 Dean ranked #24 not even in the top 15.
Nothing wrong with the “mushy moments.” Especially, when it comes to your children. Cherish and remember those moments. I lost my daughter at 4 years old, she passed away this past December. I admire your love, commitment and adornment to your family. Cheer’s to you, the fam and the DDE crew. Keep forging ahead. ✌🏻
Mad respect to you guys for keeping it real! The transparency and the honesty here is why so many of us love your channel! Can’t wait to see what comes next 🤙
Man I really appreciate you guys being so real. Honestly I get the main channel needs you as characters but this was a breathe of fresh air from you two.
Glad you guys cleared the air, I know its gotten kinda crazy lately! I hope you guys can have Dean back out for some videos sometime though because he was super fun in your guys videos!!
Agreed. Some of my favorite recent videos were with Dean and the crew. It’s kind of how I feel about certain musical artists. I enjoy them on their own but sometimes they need a few guest artists to keep things interesting.
@@Itsmedicinal I mean maybe dean, and or karnage wanted publicity or wanted to reach a larger audience using DDE. Dean seemed pretty genuine to me. Just a guess at what knight might be trying to say but idk you could be right as well.
These regular at home vlogs are a nice transition from seeing you guys work everyday and doing car stuff to seeing you guys spend time with the family and showing a regular routine we never see. It helps people realize you guys are just as human as any one of us regardless of the status and money. Thank you guys for making these it’s super motivating!
Everything aside , because of the race team we got to know alot about the technical stuff about cars and what happens behind all those builds and mechanical stuff etc. Assembling a crew for the DDE shop might match to what race team brought to the channel.
We hope the channel continues yo grow and even tho the race team did not work we still support you guys to the fullest. DDE All the way.. And we still waiting for the the hurricane tyre slayer 2.0
How long have you been a subscriber for? Around what number was their sub count when you joined? Just curious that's all its interesting to see where others started at and the growth they have seen from that point. I roughly have a good idea where they were at by the rough sub count. I joined dde when damon was under 100k subs.
So much truth, clarity, and perspective shared. Much appreciation for opening up on the behind the scenes reality with absolute professionalism. Tremendous insight into the true authentic solid character of you guys and not just the "characters' portrayed for our entertainment and the growth of the channel. Much respect. Keep killing it!
You two are awesome, first Dave needs more sun on the dome. Don't ever stop keeping your eyes on the prize,and your dreams. Some times relationship turn toxic,or like you said start going in two different directions. Purge the toxic one's,and the others sometimes you just need to walk away. I have a lot of respect for what y'all have accomplished. I descuverd y'all when my health turned bad I've spent many hours chuckling during treatment's, watching your channel. Keep up the hard work and keep having fun with the family witch is the most important. Thank you for all you do
Been in business now for nearly 32 years and nothing come's as a surprise, thanks for keeping it real and don't let these low's derail your success. Keep the awesome content coming!!!!
big inspiration Damon, I think alot of people overlook what you do. but your business mindset is so strong, and your networking skills are next level, cant wait to see where you guys go next. ps if your ever hiring I'm here, met both you guys at the f12 reveal meet ;)
Thanks for the update, was really insightful! Would be great to see Tom back on the show as i feel like his mechanic skills would bring something extra at the shop and he was such a cool dude!
This is why y’all been A1 since day one. I’m a business owner and i get it man. Yall continue to bring great videos to people so we can have short get away videos. Y’all’s videos give my brain silence for 20-30 minutes from my business and life. Keep hustling fellas. So glad i got to meet y’all in Nashville.
I love the humility from you both, I can understand and appreciate the daily grind you guys do. DDE is and will always be a business and an entertainment outlet for us fans to explore something we don't have ourselves. Thank you!
This channel is a great second channel. I have yet to find a channel like this where it's just the people who started the business being transparent and open.
Seeing y'all give credit to the entire team, is awesome. What y'all create is top notch! Loved the content of this video...the transparency, the respect. All of it was great. 👍👍👍
big fan and love the DDE channel. On openness and being up front, I cant help but think, if you can't even say Deans Name, there is far more to this than just business not working? If your going to be open, be open. Loved the content with Dean involved, and DDE is one of the only channels my Mrs can handle watching if I have it on tv as she got a great laugh from the channel, specially, those with Dean involved. Of course, that doesn't mean it all works for you guys lol but we both enjoyed it, and who wouldn't, it was always hilarious. If its a simply it doesnt work, surely the channel wouldn't go from full involvement, to ZERO and not even being able to say each others names on public posts, that stems from spite. Hate to say it but half truths may as well be lies. But we go on, will still love the channel and the crazy shit you do. Keep it up and yes TT that SVJ!!
Well said gentlemen. Thanks for touching on the issue. Loving the stories channel and all the behind the scenes aspects. I know Jamie doesn’t like to be on camera but I know many of us would love to see a “catch up” conversation with him. Also with Anthony. Keep up the great content.
This is exactly why I love this channel.Not just the cars but the message behind them enjoy life and the ones around you .I just had my first kid in 2020 and man kids are such a blessing .
6 years with Dave? I have watched every episode from way before Dave showed up. Its been good watching you build your business and I look forward to many more years. Cheers guys.
Damon and Dave you guys are standup guys and a great inspiration. You have inspired me to work hard and now I own a Porsche Taycan. I never thought I would be able to, and after seeing how you guys hustled throughout the pandemic I applied myself and appreciate everything now. Keep the vids and business going!
People will speculate no matter what you are doing it is their attempt to try and make you second guess yourself always follow the first instinct back yourself! Thanks for the amazing content guys really can't wait for the 720 GTR takeover!!
@@brad741 I've literally blocked that fool on RU-vid but keep getting suggested his video's. So I take a second to thumb it down and then carry on with my day.
I really respect you guys. Coming into this video I really had my perspective changed. I get that its almost like certain channels were broadcasting a divorce essentially and it just didnt need to be blown up into a drama of what happened or even put out at all. I don’t think Life of Palos was being dramatic but it does broadcast a drama thats unnecessary and attracts that attention from the people that seek that. I think it is a matter of taking away attention from the drama starters within certain channels and discouraging as much of those replies as possible.
well Said 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 RU-vidrs that exist according to content s*cking leech - FOO FOO Life of Palos #Lifeofpalos 1. WHISTLINDIESEL 2. The Stradman 3. WHISTLINDIESEL 4. Supercarblondie - One time favorite and best Automotive content creator according to Uncle Palos 5. WHISTLINDIESEL 6. DDE - Whom uncle click bait palos has constantly used to get views by creating controversial Thumbnails and titles on their names. 7. WHISTLINDIESEL 8. Anyone who has some controversy 9. Emelia Hartford (When ever something bad Happens) 10. WHISTLINDIESEL 11. WHISTLINDIESEL(who's channel was going quite well until one fine day he decided to comment(JOKINGLY) on The Stradmans Insta Post regarding His Purple cars, Which this A**hole Palos made a big controversy by clickbait thumbnails and titles, since then WHISTLINDIESEL's life is turned upside down and this Content s*cking leech Palos uses it to make his own content and money out of others tears. 12. Exposing private/love life of good people such as Stradman and Shmee150 and bringing Tesa and Puppi150 into the limelight of h*rny wankers such as himself. 13. Mr. JWW 14. Shmee150 - Again only when something bad happens. 15. Vehicle Virgins and Salomondrin are left out most of the time because they openly challenge this A**hole Palos. 16. DDE 17. WHISTLINDIESEL - When Mr. Palos thinks of a D*ck he wants to S*ck for content. 18. Alex Choi - Half of his lifes controversies are created by Click Bait Palos. 19. RU-vidrs who have over 2 million subscribers - Use them in the clickbait thumbnail and Titles to attract their audience and subscribers. 20. OMI in a Hell CAT - Buddy it was Probably this Content Su*king Leech who rat out on you for his own views 21. Any RU-vidrs who had a slight disagreement - This A**hole will make a big deal out of it.. put out videos for weeks and turn the disagreement into a public fight with his clickbait thumbnails. 22. WHISTLINDIESEL 23. Any RU-vidr with over 2 million subscribers - So that this leech can s*ck their followers to his own channel by fake thumbnails and clickbait titles And at the end he'll say that he is here only to spread positive vibes... Oh Life of Palos your such a Saint. What else can you expect for Uncle Click Bait Palos.. This Leech will go to any extend to make money, Views and content off others. The Titles and thumbnails on this channel clearly shows this guy will just make up anything to get views in the name of Big RU-vidrs. Adds their name and Image to create clickbaits so as to attract their viewers and followers. There are clearly so many good automotive channels yet this guy will stick to where he can create fake controversies.
You guys do a great job in this vlog. Thanks for the honesty, but we will miss the crazyness of the race team. Keep on doing what you do, and best of luck from the UK with what you do.
As a fellow business owner, you are 100% correct. There are people you think have the same vision and bring onboard, but prove they don't in the long run. These relationships have to be severed for the good of the BRAND. The only difference is your business plays out in the public eye, and most people don't have the entrepreneurial spirit or drive to make it happen so they don't understand. You have built an amazing brand and successful business. Keep up the great work!
I needed that “mushy” moment… I haven’t seen my kids in 2 years because of CoVid and my mothers passing… I just had them with me for 2 weeks straight and I dropped them off at the airport yesterday and I don’t know when I’ll see them again. You know how some people, no matter how hard they work, no matter how hard they try… they never “make it”. That’s me. 42 years old and I finally realized that, yes, I work hard, yes, I work smart, yes, I’ve never given up…. But I’ll never be the successful man some people are just born into, let alone worked hard to achieve. So… I really don’t know when I’ll see them again. I needed to hear than, Damon. Worst part is that they are 22/16/15 so they don’t want to spend time with their old man now anyway. Damon is right… it goes too fast… enjoy every minute
Success is measured many different ways man. Just because you aren’t the level of successful you thought you’d be doesn’t mean you are a failure. Life is short and goes by so fast. If you can find a way to be happy and content and can enjoy the life you are living. then you are successful! Keep your head up my man.
Dude. I don’t even own my own home but I bet you do. Don’t forget that there are always people that are further down the chain. What I do tho is have great experiences. I have great kids with great jobs. I travel as often as I can and just enjoy being outside.
@@Mpayne1472 No doubt, everyone is in their own unique struggle… after not seeing the kiddos for 2 years… and not knowing when I’ll see em again… and I do count my blessings for sure… seeing Damon’s mushy moment kinda hit hard, so it was more for context and empathy with Damon. He goes weeks at a time without seeing his kids, and now that the oldest girls are out of the house he might go months without seeing them. And… yeah… I do own a home… but the only reason is because moms will had a stipulation that I could live here for as long as I want… the property tax is high, but with my income and my wife being sick with autoimmune the fact is there isn’t a room in America I could afford to rent. That’s one blessing I count every day… but it’s hard that it took losing my mom to have this blessing. Frankly it’s my grandparents house… I wouldn’t be where I am if it weren’t for them. I just hope one day my grandkids say that about me, lol. All that to say thank you for the support…💙
This was the majority opinion from the audience to be honest. We did our best to support him so he could get back on his feet. So we are happy we did that. Now it’s time for DDE to get back to that epic content you know us for. 💪
@@dailydrivenexoticsstories annnnnd this is is exactly why the "burn all the bridges" comments. You spent 10 minutes not saying anything, and then said everything in one comment. 🙄
Good for you guys clearing this up for everyone who loves you guys! Handled it like gents and gained even more appreciation and respect in the process. Keep it coming!!!!
Much love guys! Been here since the Scud. It's amazing to see what you guys have been able to accomplish and build. Keep up the awesome work. Never miss a video! 👍👍
Thank you for being transparent. While I can appreciate the "dont address it and move on" attitude sometimes, we are the folks that watch and buy the products and feel connected to the people involved. When there is no closure on situations we tend to go and find it elsewhere...thus..rumors spread. Just being transparent is the best way. Love you guys
Y’all GREATLY earned MORE of my RESPECT for this transparency and just authentic realness. Totally get it ZERO judgement. Usually that’s the younger kids gossiping. If you’re not a business owner you just won’t get it.
Thankyou Damien for clearing up all these questions it was a cool experience having the round the vlogs where cool af but it’s about growing buisiness keep up the hard work boys and it’s good to see the kids and you guys back home having fun
Over the years of watching DDE I've notice some people come and go and noticed early on when Dean was missing. I'm with Damon on this, not everything needs to be discussed or put on the internet. I hope this video helps those that don't understand that you are running a business. Just like when someone is fired in your company the manager doesn't go around telling the employees and customers why (Proper business etiquette and HR wouldn't do this or allow).
Daimon and Dave, we all get the business thing but I’m guessing (me included) want to know you guys still keep people like Dean and his team, Anthony etc in some way friends for the future 🤓❤️
super stoked that you guys cleared the air on the subject about the race team. keep up the hard work and amazing content that you guys always deliver on each time!
MAD RESPECT! You are ABSOLUTELY 1,000% CORRECT! Great job dealing with the "Speculations" of some other drama creator. Is a Drama Creator the same as a Content Creator? Life of Speculations needs to STOP with the rumors!
Damon -- Your past 2 'Stories' videos were very good -- super CHILL -- a little change from your typical high-energy craziness. btw -- I have deleted my subscription to a particular FOO, FOO channel that just spent a good part of their latest video taking credit for breaking the news you reported today. Personally I feel the FOO, FOO channel 'click-bates' other content creator content.
Thanks for taking the time to set the record straight, I guessed it was hard to keep up with everyone's schedules, with making the main content for the chanel and dean's racing all over the country. I hope we do get to see you guys collab again in the future even if its only for the odd vlog as you guys where great together. The only question I have is are you still going to have the epic builds in house ? Eg the wide body ferrari and the next version of the twin turbo F12. Thanks again for everything from here in the UK
The transparency Damon and Dave offer from DDE to their viewers with this behind the scenes channel is fantastic for viewers and young entrepreneurs. Professional perspectives
I understand people going their separate ways for business reasons. But Damon can't stay friends with people after they part ways, it always turns toxic. Damon has a huge ego and he burns every bridge he crosses after he's done using people.
What an amazing video. That’s why DDE and both of you guys are the only “influencers” that I follow religiously because of your transparency, making us part of the channel and explaining stuff you guys shouldn’t be worried about. Almost 2 years since I watched the first video of you guys and I’m pretty sure one day you will be the biggest Car channel in RU-vid. Well done guys, cheers.
Thanks for showing us a vlog of your life; Its a pleasant thing to see. Hope you & the Family keep on living the dream, Much Love from Ontario, Canada!
Being so down to earth shows Damon and Dave's true colours, they know what's best for the channel. One of the reasons it'll always be so entertaining and successful
What sincere and heartfelt message! As someone who has met Damon & Dave..let me tell you, they are the most genuine and inspirational, the most intrinsic and knowledgeable, classy, solid dudes👊 Best vibes ever and still the best content! Beautiful #Kelowna on the map! 🤙 #DDE
This video was needed and is welcome. Yes it will suck not having Dean Karnage and the race team in the videos, but it is understandable. Congrats to your success with the channel on the hopes to continuing all the great content. Thanks Gentlemen.
DDE makes my life so much better. I have a passion for motorbikes and have started a channel and some day, some day I hope to be as successful as DDE. Keep up the great content.
This right here is gold, I love the idea of the real side of things that no one sees. Running a business is hard and most people don't see what all it takes. Great job guys.
Thats unfortunate because with Dean and his crew it made for the most entertaining videos in a long time. and I'm sure alot of people knew that this relationship would go south as most of theirs do , but way too soon
Hey guys thanks for being so real with us. The fans really appreciate things like this because the rumors and he say she say really taints things and it’s awesome to to know the truth. Thanks yall
Family days are ALWAYS awesome and the most memorable. Nice change from the DDE usual. Thanks for sharing your LIFE brother, watching from the swamps of Northeastern North Carolina
I love the back side of this, and honestly I am liking this channel just as much as the original. The more real side of you is just as entertaining as the main channel! With that being said, where is Anthony these days?
Anthony moved back to Toronto, ON. He wanted to be closed to his family which we really admire. He still gets DDE sponsorships like the Piloti shoe deal we had for Gumball 3000. Anthony is an awesome dude and we miss him. ❤️
huge respect to you guys. Ive been watching this channel since it was just damon and you guys have always managed to stay out of the drama that comes with youtube. huge respect for treating it as a business and keeping things moving if someone or some problem gets in the way. A lot of other youtubers will exploit that for views and you guys have not done that once, in all of my 4 - 5 years of watching you. I will always love this channel and continue to support yall. Much love
Man, I'm a single Dad and dude it is passing so quickly. I couldn't agree more, I'm never gonna be ready for them to be grown. (9)Chanel, (6)Enzo, yesterday they were babies, now they make plans, food, pour drinks, save money, and do homework without asking... Ya feel less needed every year.
I really appreciate this side of you both and seeing that you are "normal" people with families. I also greatly enjoy the content that you put out on the other channel, I have found it to be both entertaining and educational. Everyone should have a goal to shoot for and it seems like you guys have reached for it and are living your best lives. One of my personal goals is to meet you both some day. Not sure that it will ever happen, but like the song says...."To dream the impossible dream" You guys are amazing keep it up. God bless you, your families, and all your staff.
It’s all good! I love DDE! Damon and Dave are and have and always will be DDE no one else has ever tried so many different styles of videos and projects as you guys do! I’m very proud and grateful you guys always try and even with things don’t work out you still do what you guys do best and will always love you guys for it!! Keep doing what you do! I’ll always be here for you guys always!! Thank you!
I just subbed. I never knew about this channel. I knew about your other one. Your house is absolutely beautiful. Always do what's best for your business. It's hard work working for yourself. Lots of long hours and lots of added stress. You're doing great. Loved the talk. I love hearing ya talk about that guy named Raymond. That's my name. I've never met a Raymond that wasn't a great man.
Regardless i join the dde fam cause of you two guys and i will always be here for you guys!! And you guys dont need no one, but each other! You guys are good bruh ! 💯🤞🏻 God Bless
DDE will always have my support , i liked the technical aspect of the race team but i didnt care for the cars or the drifting im glad were going bk to roots.
DDE is a business and you've grown a ton. You're obviously doing things right. I've enjoyed seeing it all. The main channel and this one are both great fun to watch.
watched this whole vid before work. you guys help me out a lot. im 20 my life has never been easy and ive never been able to keep a friendhsip or relationship because i get taken advantage of. you guys inspire me to work hard and fuel my passion for cars
Look Dean was a really nice guy and captured the affection of many DDE viewers so I get the split has a big impact. I think what people tend to forget is that this channel has grown to a pretty big deal now and keeping it going would involve many daily decisions and be very stressful. As Damon said its not a hobby , its a business. I am under no illusion that the happy go lucky Damon we see in video's in reality does has a much different persona in real life.
Always have my support boys ! Im here for the car content and laughs, not to here to listen to drama ! Keep pumping out the awesome content 👊😎 Shout out to Jamie the GOAT !!! You are a editing machine brother 👊😎
Really glad to hear news on this topic and I think it has been handled exceptionally. Happy that the drama was cleared but I guess this means no “Slide to survive” doc :( was really looking forward to that, the cinematography looked fantastic. Will always be a fan but disappointed that something so cool is going to waist. Dean and the hyper NFT boys will be missed
2 channels 1 great story to ride along with while i live my own journey. Awesome content as always guys. I appreciate the fact we can enjoy a vlog during the day and come home and watch the main channel in a more cinematic way on the big screen and speakers. Great cinematography and shenanigans as always. Hopefully you’ll do a trip down under one day. And make merch easier accessible for us in AUS as the prices for shipping these days are more then the products haha. Cheers for all the great content. I’m always checking in daily for something new to keep the passion alive.
I can honestly say I wasn't a huge fan of the race team aspect. I understand it seemed like a good idea in the beginning. But over a short time you could see some people hated the camera and other's just seemed to be over the top...trying to get the most attention from the camera. I liked watching the beginnings with all the different personalities, but it got very old quickly.
Nice Refreshing Change..Awesome..thanks for keeping me/us in the loop..this vlog is the glue which holds all the other content together..so glad you made this..super cool..sad to see dean and the chaps go you all seemed to get on really well ..you had some good laughs😋🦾🦾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for addressing these concerns to the fans after internet sleuths and bottom feeders like life of palos attempted to stir up the controversy surrounding the DDE race team
Thanks for watching. We always want to tell you guys everything but sometimes you have to wait for the right time. There is more to this and maybe we will explain it and maybe we won’t. But know we love our fans and only want to make epic content for you. The drama isn’t what we want. We just end up in it sometimes because we genuinely want to help people out with our platform but sometimes the money and fame changes those people we help and it’s ends our relationship. That’s ok we just move on and stay focused.
I might have not been around from the beginning but when i subbed at 50000 you guys have been the same since ive been watching ive seen so many people come and go but you still stay the same evolve and get better every year cant wait for bigger and better things
Glad Damon and Dave have spoken about it even though they didn’t actually have to. But it’s only right to make direct dialog especially when the internet is triggered and rumours are casting shade for DDE brand and for Damon and Dave. Much respect for them both for airing things in a such a positive way. Keep growing the brand boys and bringing all the content, fun and shenanigans!
That's apart of life. Things change, people move on etc. Just remember most of us DDE supporters follow you guys for the fun times and Exotic cars, not drama. Unless it's with the local police department. Lol. And I'll keep asking for Manny and the 720. Lol 720, 720, 720 YSOB. Keep up the great work
There needs to be a DDE workout for the Peleton where you chase one of the cars on the road and at the end of the workout the car shoots a rod out of the block so you can catch it.
I appreciate you keeping it real gentlemen! We enjoy the content and realize it comes from a lot of hard work. Don’t let internet trolls knock you down!
