This was a bunch of fun, thanks for having me!
Super fun chat. Thanks for coming by!
This is probably the most chill and down to earth personality I have seen of Parker. Its crazy how much more personable he seems here. I really only came here for the comments 😂 but wound up watching the whole thing and enjoying the convo.
Same. Came for comments but enjoyed the convo. Still feel like there’s a lot of skeletons in the virgin virgin closet though
Completely forgot this guy existed. What did he do to piss off the algorithm
Too much drugs
Went on a manic attack years ago and went off on everyone on Instagram lol wild time
Ya, he got into something and started making wild accusations. I think he lost most of his audience from that. But he seems to be doing well now. I'm glad to see it.
Couldn’t believe the title. Amazed vehicles virgins is still around
He had a fallout 4 years ago for bashing other YTbers. He returned to his OG format (POVs and first impressions) instead of doing vlogs. However, the damage was already done and the YT algorithm stopped promoting him like it used to. His content is still pretty good imo.
"Fallout" 😂
That mofo got high out his mind and pretty much threw his entire channel/brand away.
@@Lifeof728 Yup. If you read between the lines that is essentially what I meant. I didn’t want to be the one to explicitly state it though. 😅
I kind of feel bad for him. He pretty obviously had a mental breakdown but I don’t think he was more toxic during that time than say salomondrin who has burned anyone who ever worked with him. He’s getting probably 1/10 of the views he used to get but still keeps making videos. I don’t think he’s making any money at all of the videos now so I think he just does it for the few people still watching.
Beer: in hand
Cat: in lap
Smoking tire podcast: on the TV
It's a good evening
two types of rich kids: matt and parker
They’re pretty much the same. Don’t let Matt fool you lol
@@RossEnzoFunny enough Matt keep hating on Mani Khoshbin ! A immigrant who came from nothing now matte throwing shade about his hermes Bugatti 😂
@@thatpersiandude7386because manny is a scammer and a pos
@@thatpersiandude7386 🤣😂 they’re all such tools! Matt is a Greenwich CT kid who’s farther was a a rich executive.
@@thatpersiandude7386 manny is a fraud, this is public knowledge
Haven't heard of this guy in a while! This'll be interesting
Yeah I'm curious. I thought he fell off the face of the earth.
@@2fast2nickI believe he had a bit of a psychotic episode back in the day. Unfortunately it was all posted on social media by himself and others. Definitely hard to come back from, taking a few years off was probably for the best.
@@widebodysalami1525 oh I remember. Well I believe in second chances. I met him at an ACH drive one morning, seemed nice enough
@@2fast2nickyea I recall him posting Damon’s arrest for domestic violence on his IG story and I was like yikes and stopped watching both for awhile lol
@@widebodysalami1525 he even went after shmee, I was like wtf. He’s the nicest guy in the world 🤣
EddieX is the man!
I had to ask
EddieNissan
Any cringe comments are from people who didn't bother to watch/listen to the episode. I enjoyed this conversation quite a bit.
As someone who saw his content, thought it was dumb and never looked at it again (before the apparent meltdown)
This was a good convo and I only learn of the shite he did from comments.. seems like a reasonable fella
Awesome you guys brought up sim racing! It's still a really small niche but were trying hard to get more people into the hobby! Thank You!
What a start, the exactly as-predicted rich dad off😂
This dude wearing a 5726?
Trust fund kid
Good eye!
This guy gives me the shivers
54:30 that was the first time in my life I have actually shot my drink out of my nose
lol
Tom thinks you’re poor.
For some reason I really enjoy the inside UA-cam baseball talk
Parker definitely wins for the nicest watch ever worn on the podcast!
Parker has burned a lot of bridges in the industry, but good on him for sticking it out and getting back out there. I personally have moved on from him, but I do wish him luck.
The story of Vehicle Virgins: born with a silver spoon in his mouth and with everything handed to him.
How could anyone ever predict this collision of worlds?!
You forgot the arrogance and drug addiction which he’s admitted in the past
@@jasonoconnor8337 he also had a falling out with EddieX over petty shit. Such a prima donna.
@@charlieherring8458and another fallout with Alex Choi.
At least he did something interesting. Plenty of people given tons of money who just sit in their house and don’t entertain people.
Showing what the guest and Matt are looking at would make this podcast even better.
I was hoping to hear a little about his “speed bump”a few years ago but maybe that topic was off limits. Either way good show. Enjoyed all of it.
great conversation , thanks! oh, and I loved the Finland Porsche rally video..made me feel like "what if that was me"..even though it will never will be me lol
i tired off the record recently and they warned me that getting a ticket dismissed was extremely unlikely. the lawyers OTR set me up with made a point of saying that OTR dismissal claims were not guaranteed. still got the ticket off my record but had to pay quite a bit for a small speeding ticket. didn't really seem worth it
Short term cost/long term cost sort of thing..
Probably better utilised for the 100+ in a 30 tickets:D
What did you expect...
@@bentucker2301 hmm I perhaps expected what was advertised. Not sure why you’d be confused at that.
Sooo even with the normal disclaimer (ie nothing is ever guaranteed), the ticket came "off the record" as advertised.
@@waltciii3 it did but it wasn’t dismissed as Matt advertised all the time. Maybe California is different than rural Texas.
I used to watch vehicle virgins back in the day. I learned manual from both matt and vehicle virgins video.
Used to follow VV until the whole thing... will be interesting to see how is is on here
Same here
How does a retail business manager afford a 997 Turbo S Manual? What a world.
Appreciate the love gentlemen!
something uncanny valley about parkers face.
Great interview, great seeing this guy in a positive light. I do feel the 599 Ferrari with the manual swap for $50k could be around 200k and I I think in 10 years that company most likely will not still be offering this swap and there could be a static number of 599s who got swapped from automatic F1 gear box to a manual. The swap is really high quality and well sorted and the ones from the factory that are manual(super limited production) are already over a million so the value is there.
I'm glad the two of you guys finally crossed path....
Look, guys. I was the first one to shit on Parker in his peak adderall days.
Yes, he’s fucked up multiple times, but it looks like he’s been staying clean for a while now, just grinding and trying to get back the views.
I’ll admit - I’m not his viewer, but everybody deserves a second chance.
So let’s give him one.
His drug problem never bothered me. He can snort all the coke and pop all the addy he wants as long as he's cool. It's his arrogance that makes me cringe at him.
@@bvedantNgl that comment made me crack up 😂. Based on his videos from post fallout it seems that his arrogance went down significantly. Prior to that Parker did kinda act like an entitled prick. However, like the OP says I’m up for second chances if he can maintain a humble grind mentality.
@@_IMNNOfair enough.
Autodromo x Hodinkee S4 watch looks great!
So nice for Billie Joe Armstrong to take the time.
Rough. Guys ego burnt all his bridges. He's always creeped me out.
He was mentally exhausted from driving super cars for living, poor dude couldn’t even go snowboarding for a while 🏂 😢
You can tell that Parker gets annoyed with Matt railroading the conversation.
i remember november of last year I went to sonoma raceway for the velocity invitational and couldnt believe afterwards how many popular yters made videos about it!! i guess i had no idea how big a deal it was and the level of cars there was insane.
A CL65 would be a good choice for the V12 for wayyyy under $100k
Fun podcast fellas!! Keep up the good work
Reading the comments I thought this was going to be bad… y’all need to calm down, he seems like a solid guy
The kid was in his early 20s when he was handed millions of dollars. Most would go through a cringe period and he did it on camera. He’s owned it and moved on. Everyone else should too
Ok I'll say it... What happened to EddieX and Parker?
Now that Matt said the Kaiser fits in in Roger Rabbit it makes a lot of sense because it looks like it’d fit right in in the movie
hey Matt ...i see you have a new note book . Is it the one made from stone you talked about after your trip to south FL ? how is it to write on stone pages w. dif. pens ?
Thanks Matt, this was great. Believe it or not there are some UA-camrs with interesting stuff. Stradman is definitely an interesting one and was literally homeless when he started.
He chose to sleep in his Audi R8 because he couldn't be bothered to pay for rent or move back in with his parents for the sake of making unique content. It worked out really well for him so all the power to him, but calling him homeless is still a stretch and a half.
Pretty sure it was a TT but yea it was his decision. He gambled big & all the teenage boys clung to him! He’s cashing in for sure plus he’s smart so I think he will be fine lol
Great video
Team Eddie X
I have a feeling that girl from Texas is probably not alive now. Also, great guests, he uploaded a video many years ago about how to drive stick shift, helped me a lot, funny thing he's only like 3 years older than me, I thought he was much older.
LOL at Starbucks under reporting HP.
Subs are meaningless. Vehicle virgins has 2.4m but they’re mostly retired accounts, hence an average of 10/20k views
Anyone else get diabetes hearing about the amount of caramel? 😁
Dude you can still get a 360 Modena manual for 100k last I checked. For a V12 yeah grab an Aston or Merc.
Lol Parker is a UA-camr, but his father is literally more of a car enthusiast than he could ever even aspire or comprehend being
People are different Bruv, people like different things, we shouldn't condem people for not knowing or liking certain things. Some car enthusiasts don't even care about things like formula 1, which is crazy to me, but everyone is different, I'm not better than anyone else because I've watched f1 since birth
Haven't followed him in a while like many of us, but recently Salomondrin came back to YT and just announced he'll be doing a podcast with VV, so this appearance tracks. Not hating, hope it's good content. I
Alejandro actually never left YT. He just altered his commitment towards the Salomundo channel, which has loads more views and subs. It would be cool to see him on TST.
Parker start the podcast im on board.
You should try to get Cody (WhistlinDiesel) on the pod
Get a feeling Matt doesn’t vibe with his content
@@ManifestingOutsizedGains he might not but doesn’t make his story not interesting
They are morons and no we don't need them on the podcast.
This guy is still alive?
Is Parker really surprised his huayra BC video topped everything else????
1:20:43 mazdaspeed 6
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY BOTTLES OF WATER
I still watch Parker. His recent videos from the last 18 months or so are so chill. Glad he’s still out there, deserves more watchers.
Not to be a hater but this dude if I recall pushed his partner Eddie out of VV.
To be fair I think Parker was like we have to go to cali to take it to the next level, which Parker did have mil+ subs and was killing it for awhile while Eddie has been stuck under 150k subs this whole tine.
@@CincySupercarif I recall correctly Eddie was never a partner
Funny the sponsor of this episode is a pipe maker.
It's legal! No different than wine glasses.
Good episode. It's ridiculous to gossip and hold a grudge against someone on the internet for (however many) years. Unless the person commits a heinous crime or something serious, just let it go and focus on yourself
dude was born in 94? i was driving 964s in 92.....
Honestly it's nice having a change and having more automotive UA-camr.
I remember him for being high in every video 🤣
Nope. This is one I won’t listen too Matt.
Oh no
Parker needs to get N2itive camber arms, $900 and he’ll never have any tire issues w his plaid and he’ll stop complaining about a simple issue to fix. And considering he has N2itive lowering links, I’m surprised he continues to complain about such an easy fix from a company that he already uses their products. It’s a dumb complaint from a “car enthusiast”
#TeamEddieX
I really enjoyed this conversation.
It's very easy to attack someone on the internet over the stuff we think they're guilty of but instead why not show them support in their quest for growth?
I know that Parker had some ups and downs but I can only imagine all that pressure he had dealt with and therefore I'm not sure how I'd react if this was my life's story.
Kudos to You for trying things out,learning and living pretty cool life in the process.
A crew shows would have been better
New found respect for Parker after watching this.
Disappointing podcast. Matt didn't ask any of the questions that we were all wondering about. Like two politicians having a chat.
Matt doesn't know shit about him to ask those questions
To be fair, like he’s said in numerous other episodes, Matt rarely watches UA-cam since his time is primarily occupied with a business and automotive journalism.
Like most people who don't follow UA-cam drama, (or watch the VV channel), Matt was likely unaware of any controversy. I just assumed the guy had disappeared from my feed because he stopped making content, but I also never watched it. I only found out there had been issues thanks to the comments on this podcast.
Great pod
Parker!
Shots fired at manny with the Chiron Hermes fart noise ?
I'm here🧑🏾💻
Love this episode. Its great to get to see people not in video mode.
We need a smoking tire Snapchat
why though?
I miss the view of the table with the three of your there, the side by side panels suck! Not to mention that you both didn't look normal
Vehicle Virgins started my intense love for youtube car journalism...."vehicle virgins ford fusion review" Im not even kiddong
Love to hear that!!
A heavy family car thats a record breaking factory rocketship, wears tires: *tumbleweeds*
Matt: *evil nemesis laugh* that's not great *evil nemesis laugh* Another expected failure of Elon Musk. Pityful. *evil nemesis laugh*
Some of you need help
LIKE GRAVITY
VV is still around? 😂😂😂
Whatssssssssup
didn't get through the whole episode yet but didn't he spin out on drugs or something?
Parker is back 🙌
Two spoiled rich kids!
V12 for comment collection Toyota century luxury
Like the dude, but zero interest in his videos
Two rich kids talk about being handed everything. No thanks!
This is a hard pass. Gross.
Honestly? I watched expecting a cringefest--Parker is ENTIRELY changed after drug woes and this is a normal dude.
One of your worst guests.
I think if nothing else, this gives an insight as t how UA-camrs view the UA-cam economy.
I love this troll
subs dont mean shit.. Now less than ever. Only bragging right
I bought a 1972 Jaguar E type V12, 2+2 series 3. I spent $9000 to purchase it, $120,000 to fix it and ended up with the nicest $70,000 Etype in town.
