I have followed Emilia for years on UA-cam now. To see her continue grow from an outsiders perspective is so cool. No doubt she has hard hard times along her journey but from our view point she is only going up and getting better in everything she is building (cars, acting, advocating, her community) . Great episode, great guest!
👏🏾well said and agreed
I have been watching Emilia for a couple years now and I just love her attitude and joy in everything she does. She is a very bright star. I have seen her in Gran Terismo ( sp ?) and she was great. Always a fan.
Yeah she’s a straight shot of dopamine for me whenever I see her smile and hear that laugh ❤
I've been following Emelia for a few years now. She is a national treasure, amazing human being for standing up for mental health, and an amazing car builder/driver. I wish nothing but all of the success for her.
I lost my dad when I was 17. The trauma of seeing him just waste away with pancreatic cancer (he only lived five weeks after diagnosis) and die while I was in the room has never left me. And I'm in my forties now. I went through a period of heavy drinking that last four years and one day I thought to myself "This isn't who I want to be" and I stopped. Cold turkey.
Emelia is just one of those people who can get along with everyone
Emilia is such an awesome person. So glad to watch her videos and was surprised to see her in Gran Turismo. Such a happy moment for her and glad to see it!
All right! That's why l love her so much too!
Emilia is a one of a few yt car enthusiasts I look up to and inspires me to help the homies that struggle mentally, cuz I've gone through it myself and had an epiphany, cars saved my life. It gave me a goal a reason to keep moving forward and just learn to roll with the punches as much as it sucks sometimes. 🖤🖤🖤 mental health is so important!!!!!!
I freakin' love Emilia! Her channel, her energy, her projects and passion, and her personality!
oh and of course her bad ass cars!
Emilia is just EPIC ! Love her so much ! She's so awesome ! She deserve all she is getting now ! Such a nice person !
I’ve been a low 4 figures sub of Emelia! She’s is such a humbled awesome and caring person! She deserves all of her success, the one moment I was as proud as I’d be with my daughter was when she had her first billboard! Not to speak of her cars she build, even poop turd LOL!
I’ll never forget watching Emilia walking into a pizza shop where she was I believe fired and showing the manager her new vette
Probably by far the best show I’ve ever watched ❤. Have been a huge fan of Emilia for years
Great interview with one of the coolest individuals on the planet.
Emilia is one of the rare old souls that just brings smiles and comfort to every aspect of any conversation. The hotrod community is an incredible group, nothing but good times and comrodery.
Its awesome to see you guys bring all this together.
Thank you for posting this. 🍻✌
That part about her going to school the next day like nothing happened made me tear up and the part about the therapist sitting in silence with her as well. It reminded of being in third grade when my grandfather died and going to school the same way. Everyone was happy and having fun and it was like I had a secret or something I could not talk about.
I’ve been watching Em’s UA-cam site for a few months now, but this is first time I’ve heard her backstory. Love her even more now! ❤ Her need for speed and intoxicating laugh every time she gets it cracks me up every time. Huge Rachel fan too. ❤
I've been following Emelia's channel Almost from the very beginning. I was amazed how fast she would pick up and learn things as she's working around cars. Ladies, I really thoroughly enjoyed listening to you all.😊 Emelia congratulations on the movie.
Appreciating cars, and seeing Emelia share her early struggles, but more importantly, her solvency in how she deals with, what to many, can be a dark period they feel pulls them away from pursuing and achieving personal growth, is very enlightening to see and hear. Her love of life is evident, and her sincerity to help even guide others away from dark places will be where her future years will become synonymous with her passion for cars and acting. She has built a strong emotional and mental foundation for herself and her confidence in herself makes her one of those rare individuals comfortable in her own skin. Great interview, great questions, but mostly, an important message for those who watch this. Thank you :)
I've been watching Emilia for years now since she first bought her green 240sx and I always wondered about how her father died. Now hearing this makes me tear up because when I was younger I tried committing suicide about 6 times and failed Everytime. But as soon as I held my first daughter in my arms it made me think about it less. Now that I have 2 daughters they make me so happy that i don't even think about suicide that much anymore. When I do i think about them and I forget about suicide and i love that my daughters love helping me work on cars too!
I've been watching her for years. Since them parking garage videos and I am so happy for Emelia and I'm so proud of her. Keep getting it Emelia Hartford ❤
Great interview and seeing another side of Emelia. I luv her even more now, thanks.
guest was good, the two interviewing were very airheaded.
Lost my 31 yr old wife to cancer in 2015. Broke my heart. On top of that gave our 4 yr old son to her parents. I’m partially disabled (hip replacements) and couldn’t care for him on my own. Then lost my job of 20 years in late 2022. Depressed since wife passed and then losing job. Then car totaled on Halloween 2023. I felt like I had a mountain of pressure on my back and was ready to break. After that I Had some very long looks at my 9mm pistol. But I thought of all my friends and family that cares for and loves me. How they would feel if I ended my life. That and I need to be here for my son much as I can. That helped me out of my depression. That and I recently got a new job! I really appreciate Amelia’s story about her dad and am sorry she and Olivia had to go through that. Thoughts and prayers ladies. Travis C.
That was a great show Young Ladies. I watch a lot of Emelias videos which I always enjoy. Watching the video makes Me really learn from all of You.
Yeah also been following Emilia for so many years now :)
I do even remeber the S14 days :)
She is sooo inspiring and cool :)
Great cast
I can relate somewhat ! My dad who was a alcoholic died when I just turned 18 and at the same time period I lost my mom and older sister not by suicide
But I can relate to the stress and semi depression it can cause
Loved the episode and the fact yall had Emilia on. Fighting depression as long as I have, I'm thankful for my cars. They've literally saved me from drinking, addiction, and depression. Emilias story about how the car community took her in and is why she is where she is today is amazing. Loved the back story, and it's motivating. Maybe I can start a youtube page and have something to look forward to. Also named my daughter after your oc character thought I'd add that in there watching season 3 ep 1 right now.....
Emelia and Rachel in the same show. Am I dreaming. Thanks for sharing!.
I figured out 35 years ago, no matter how much you drink to escape the problems, they are still there. I quit drinking and haven't missed it.
Great episode. Love Emilea. Follow her faithfully.
1:10: 20. I have a child with multiple special needs and when he was a baby and into his toddler years, he was considered medically fragile. And people knew that and would bring their very sick kids around him! And one time it went drastically wrong and he ended up with influenza and it put him in pediatric ICU and he came very close to renal failure his muscle creatine levels went so high. People, keep your sick kids away from babies and toddlers especially!
First time watching this channel. I don't understand the foot fetish thing. 😅
I very much enjoyed the interview with Emelia Hartford.
She was so open about the tragic death of her father.
It was sad to hear Olivia also lost her father at a young age.
I can't imagine loosing my father at 15.
I grew up working on cars with my father and grandfather, and find it awesome when women appreciate cars. Especially if they want to work on them. That's rare. Sadly most modern cars lack soul and are basically laptops/computers on wheels only used to go from point A to point B.
Cars can be fun/beautiful works of art. There is something therapeutic about fixing up a old car and seeing it
go from junk to beautiful.
As a person that suffers from depression I appreciate Emelia's efforts to provide help for those in crisis.
Miss.E, we are always with you. ECREWEAREOUTHEREWITHLOVE❤❤❤
I follow Emilia now I know she experienced an event in life that changers Ur life for ever I take my hat of to her even more
Iv had my experience of loss when I was 16 and it change my life for ever the loss of my beautiful sister who life end from when thrown from 8 story
building so I understand ,😢
Well, when I love Emelia Hartford is beautiful actress and racer like you. And I wanna be famous is fullest!❤❤❤
Thanks ladies huge fan of emilia❤ and now I found you guys 🎉
Good stories from Emelia. When the 2 hosts talked about their kids getting mental health in school, it’s amazing, however that’s only for rich private schools. You don’t get that in poor school.
Emelia Hartford , even if you are a open book to read your very special and beautiful you give and help many people your a girl full of light don't ever stop laughing and being so positive , we love you Emelia we want to see you exceed beyond your expectations follow your dreams act be in more movies may all the doors of success open to you . keep going you have so much to do we are with you...
The way she called her an ACTRESS was an actress announcing a you tuber as an actress who is like stay in your lane , I AM an actress who is a you tuber and you are a you tuber . Which is true but it sounded very hard for her to not hide contempt about reading the intro .
Really reading between the lines there, and that's not how it came across to me at all, just got the words out a bit sloppily, that can happen, especially when perhaps nervous and having to think of the cameras, the audio, the sponsored moments and choosing between introducing from memory or with whats written down. Don't ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained with incompetence.
She amazing and funny in the videos when having the fastest Corvette ever Made beacuse emelia its my favorite youtuber beacuse she like working with cars like myself and wanna confess about emelia its my dream woman ❤️❤️❤️😍
Technical note: the noise gate is a little aggressive. It almost makes the dialog sound robotic.
Big fan of this chat and the show with Sung and Emelia how dose one get to be in a pod cast I'd like to say my story but not popular or anything love to chat though.
I'd like to hear the update on that pantera Emelia??? Also like to get a dream or imagine for my build like to accomplish but u suffer through stuff on mental perspective and fam split at mid kid to teen age aswell hit hard, I'd joke to say I'd rather have family that past make a inspiration to someone then not and just been let down too and it's a confusing history of mine.
Really nice episode❤
Emelia's favorite is the ZO6 😁
She’s so great everybody actually have one!
I am sorry for ur loss. Emailia
I didn't know this side of her. She's really legit.
Good to bring out the intellectual side of her.
Can some one pls tell Emilia that her you tube site has been hacked
Go Emelia ! ! ! ! ! :)
Emelia posted a video saying she's straight, but with her saying "partner" instead of "boyfriend" could mislead people into thinking she's gay.
Thanks beautiful women for this brilliant interview ❤🔥❤🔥 Emelia is absolutely fantastic i watch her channel
You lost me when you said “we’re not supposed to use sexes, because that’s sexist”. Girl, masculinity and femininity are actually real and each of them apply mostly to only one sex and not the other. 🤦♂️
Doesn't matter how many times I hear it, the feet thing I just dont get! I played rugby for years and have broken 8(?)of my toes over the years, two of which go off at 45 degrees at the 'nail end' of the last knuckle. If anyone is into wonky toes and wants to pay to see 'em - tell me where to sign up!!
Edit: Nothing against people being into feet - there are FAR worse things out there, I just don't 'get' it, IMHO!
Bravo to her great video
E crew we out here
👍✌️ lady's backing in is almost always better lol.. ✌️👍
You go Emelia! 😎
Girl, talk with Amelia hysterical
Religion is for People that want to go to Heaven
Spirituality is for People that have been through Hell.......
WE LOVE U EMELIA ..... she is the modern female that girls should look up too.....
TUNNEL BLASTS WIT DAT LAUGH is everything.......
Emelia is a real person. I know Dean the guy she bought her like lst 3 cars from... and he is a real dude but even in 2013 he was working with the right people. Sandy was a Ford guy so I dont dislike him for it. Ford makes you money. That old trans. I met Roy Butfoy Jr when he was there but he looked over my rebuilt ZF trans and gave it the thumbs up to my face... Thois was like 2012? 2013? I
ran a bigger tab than I shouyld have and I feel bad about it to this day. Dean was cool but still. Kinda wasnt to know the story... hje knows what I mean.
❤❤❤

For some reason, UA-cam wants me to be aware of these obscure podcasts. This is the second one to pop up in my recommendations. Two quick things…Emelia is awesome and feet are gross.
Dear Em,
Iam always lil wary of gurus you handle yourself professionally........I think you did interview as a favour and /or a friend....complement coming...you seemed a intellectually a step above your interviewers ❤...how about those goddamm
Engine specs...lol😅
I've been an Emilia Hartford fan for about 6 years. She has to be one of the best people I have ever had in my life. She has inspiration to me. But I really like your podcast. Good job. I'll start following you as well ❤️🩹
My mom for as far as I can remember always had crooked toes with bunions too and she use to wear high heals that were stylish when she was a teacher in primary school and she would switch to more comfortable yet also stylish slippers in the classroom...but I never look at feet in general as being sexy, just functional. However i've seen nice feet! Just nice at best! 😂 sorry. I mean my anckles were not straight at birth they had to be straightened my mom told me and i'm thankfull they were.❤
"I'm an open book...." ....... ".......oh, I don't talk or share about that..... I keep that all private." 🤔
You don't want to ask what her boyfriend does with her toes, But You Just DID! LOL
God didn't take her father he just gave her the strength to get through it and make her a stronger better person. Her father lost in a battle of wills against evil and a hole in his heart he couldn't fill or find a way to fill it. I believe he was probably being attacked by something I believe emilia felt it and kind of had a premonition the day she was eating dinner as a kid with her father but as a kid didn't actually didn't know what to do with what he was saying after talking about the subwoofer Don't get me wrong I don't think her father was evil he just had darkness following him. A lot of people wouldn't know what to do with that recognize the signs or what to even do. People want to do good but some don't know how his actions in the end were not good. I am in a pretty bad place myself I am basically paralyzed from muscular dystrophy I however and am happy. I credit that to Jesus God over all he has made the difference for me. Even in my worst moments I have hope in a better future we as people only have one soul and need to protect it. I don't know if I believe that their is a hell I believe that is something that we create ourselves. Do I believe he was saved in the end or not by god I don't know. I don't believe his soul has peace right now but maybe at some point it will be. I believe if at any point you have given your life to Jesus you won't suffer In death. Some people have no idea who he is so I don't believe they will have to suffer either. If at any point in his life if he accepted Jesus he probably saved his soul even if he walked away from God he is not vengeful. if he actually never heard about him I don't think in the end he will be judged guilty. He did commit a sin against his family, friends, and god by committing suicide leaving them to suffer. In the end he will be resurrected and have to stand in judgment at the throne of god just like the rest of us I believe it is impossible for us to know every bad thing we have done and ask for forgiveness for that thing. He probably thought his death was better but he really didn't know better. So that sin he did at the end of his life is forgiven and forgotten. Don't get me wrong some people can't be saved but I really believe he was. Like I said god is not vengeful people believe that but it's not true. Now if I am correct he will have to make a choice when he stands before the throne of god. The choice god already knows what her father will decide at that moment and is written in the book of life. Positivity and mental health issues need to be treated so people can know what is right wrong and what to do how to feel better about life. I am not super religious either but I do believe in God Jesus I have read parts of the Bible and know enough to believe in it. People should not poo poo that there is a god the universe and nature science and even our own history prove it. The world is not 6000 years old it's older time is different to god I am pretty sure and that some really Uber religious people don't except that and don't understand how to forgive or how it works and ruin it for people. it is not Selfish to not want to be alone people are not meant to be alone Have a family have kids Find a person who you can love and give that love you back and be willing to work on your relationship you have to talk about everything and be kind to each other. The coincidences is god watching over you and letting you be able to prosper in what you do and probably keeping you safe.
Enough toes, get to the car talk!
GO Lumix GO Lumix.. (sorry). Love you both.
Oi Summer, você continua linda... 😊
Is Emilia a lesbian? It's a serious question. She says, "Partner" not boyfriend. I hope she is able to get through this tragedy.
E Crew
This girl looks like the girl from jumpers
No warning needed. Especially a trigger warning. No need to invite people to avoid discomfort. Who started this silly trend?
Rachel has more nervous ticks then a deer.
Love Ms Emilia
TRUMP 2024 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Emelia supports mental health yet has no issues making people feel vunerable with personal well being. Ironic.
Vulnerability is a skill that mamy of us need to practice
Masculine and feminine doesn't describe sexes, they are not pronouns, they are adjective. It describes personalities or appetences.
Lol.😂
Emelia should just come out as lesbian...it's 2024...no one care anymore ...there is no straight woman with 13 cars :)
Great guest, horrible hosts. Only made it 6 minutes in before bailing.
Adorable, pulling for her, but shes like these black pro athletes, spends spends spends like it will always grow on trees 🤕
You'd be surprised, she's really tight with money. Source: I actually know her.
I have been also following Emilia for years on you tube. When I came across her videos she was welding the exhaust for her drift car. I immediately started following her to see her finish building that car, and then drifting it. She has crazy car skills from all different directions. Building, driving and just her passion is incredible. Love to see her grow as a strong person. 🧍♂️
Rachel has great feet, the other two, not so much
Liberals
Lost my dad when in my 50s
Omg are you serious? Like, ummmmmm….top three worst host voices on YT!
