Larry is wholesome and all that is right in the world. Please don't change.
The goat of male ASMR. Detail videos lol
God Larry is so wholesome and just such a nice guy in general. Him trying to be humble about his job while bitching about his commute is amazing.
The idea that someone would judge him for complaining about an 8-12 hour commute lmao.
Larry honestly hates his commute, but you can tell he doesn't want to complain because he understands he is living his dream and making a bunch of money. At the end of the day, it doesn't undermine the fact that commuting for 8 hours a day sucks. Especially where he's driving. I grew up in that area, and I couldn't imagine doing that commute daily.
The regulatory conversation was really interesting!
Larry needs a nap. You can see the sleep deprivation. Can't imagine the amount of effort it takes to be a parent of young kids, business owner, and content creator, all at the same time.
He’s really an all-around amazing guy
Matt busting Larry’s balls and vice versa about the commute to the Hampton’s is hilarious. Clearly they know each other very well.
I just want to know how Matt can continue to use two different pronunciations of the word "Patreon" despite Larry even asking about it in the beginning of the podcast! LOL It's like he doesn't even realize he says it two different ways seemingly interchangeably.
It’s fine… English vowel sounds are almost always interchangeable, especially in an international environment.
I will change how I pronounce “tomato”, “z”, and other words based on who I am taking to. I draw the line at “oregano” though
@@JDMism it's fine if you change it based on who you're talking to. Matt used both in the same conversation!
Larry needs a European distributor for his products. Cheaper to ship a bunch at once.
Hmmm….I’m a dual citizen with an EU country….need a European distributor @ammonyc ? Lol!
Yup !👍
That “Warning: Will Make Your Car Too Shiny” product is definitely Adam’s
And its also definitely not illegal. I make labels for a living. No clue what Larry is talking about.
Love watching these on my treadmill. Easiest way for me to get a long session in
Listening on a long run right now!
Listening to this while sitting in Hamptons traffic for my daily commute was a mixed bag of emotions. I don’t know if a small boat would be any faster/more relaxing from Westchester but I am not sure how deep he is up there. If you are on or can easily get to the coast of CT east of Westport, maybe.
I think he's near Danbury
Larry is great. He's personally corresponded to my emails for the past 15 years!
Larry is one of the guests that you HAVE to watch both in TSTPodcast and his two youtube channels. His knowledge and the way he explains things is amazing. Completely agree with Matt "he's gonna run himself to the grave trying to get everything done" but he is doing what he LOVES and that shows. Bravo Larry, props to you!!
Personally I just cant stand the constant analogies. He has to give an analogy for the simplest of things that really do not need one. Its almost tiring to listen to after a while. I can only watch him in bursts.
Tesla said everyone but Matt is welcome to use their chargers....saw it online so it's gotta be true, no?!?
You can hear the frustration in Matt's voice when he talks about Tesla now. Not only is the frustration with the company that dupes the public, but the devout Tesla comment army.
Matt/Zack please continue being voices of reason and entertaining automotive journalists.
"It's the one guy tweeting and your thinking how do I make this guy happy" - Larry K. That's the type of quote you won't hear from every business person and really shows the type of person he is.
Larry is da man.
You guys are more than welcome to come to Australia. We’d be happy to have you.
Love Larry great ep
The regulatory conversation was interesting, weird to see Matt/Larry talk about how the EPA is not doing anything. Especially after watching a PRI video on PFI Speed and how the EPA is hitting them with 180k in fines for selling 37 ECU's to people with race cars.
Appreciate tf outta Larry and ammo, as well as , people who he works with aka Kevin brown , rupes , and of course Matt. Thank you all for insanely good content and information. Keep up the good work TST
He never brought up again why he didn’t do the Donut video. He probably won’t get too in the weeds about it but I was sure curious what went down
Larry is a boss!
Regarding Larry's container cost quotes....that's what they were in April. Laat month my firm paid $25,000. On top of that, there's a "premium " to be paid to ensure yours is unloaded in s timely manner. So then everyone pays the premium. So you're basically at the jukebox paying "Play Next" premiums with everyone else doing the same thing.
Dear lord!
Funniest clip “You’re also scatterbrained as Fuck!!!” 🤣🤣🤣
Larry looks amazing for his age
59:44 is Larry saying he loses money on every AUS order or just his shipping eats into his profit?
Not losing money, he’s PAYING to get the product there. No profit made on the product sold. So if international shipping is $20 on the AMMO site and it actually costs $60 to get a bottle of spray wax there, he’s actually paying $40 out of the company’s pocket (his) to get the brand out there. That’s how I heard it.
hahaha! Tesla counter is back!
I love Larry but running a 20' Boston Whaler in shit weather ('cause ya gotta detail year 'round) from Connecticut to the south shore of Long Island would suck.
I heard in Germany it is illegal to wash your car at home in the driveway,you have to go to a authorized car wash.
No working outside on your car on Sunday. Don’t drive a dirty car or busted ugly ass car either.
You guys should review Larry’s cars Matt. Great video for two old friends 👍
larry needs a Boston Whaler and a nissan Leaf for the Island
Comment for the almighty Algorithm!
Larry is the best.
Poor Larry getting confused about EVs lol
The EPA has been coming down hard on tuning shops for selling and tuning aftermarket ECUs.
I'm a new listener
"So your car LOOKS fast but it's...." ouch
Get the boat Larry!
26:10 I get that peace, every time I detail.
Curious what the college story larry referenced at 13:00 is or if he has talked about it somewhere else
matt, id recommend the book.
"upward spiral"
Great show!
Crazy how both of them have known each other since high school and made a career out of cars
we need to see that turbo matt’s dad has
Watching you guys struggle with all the EV terminology and specs was kinda painful my dudes. Do a quick search on "EV charge curves"; you'll discover a whole new world that separates cars from each other. The eTron and the Mach E both are rated for 150kW peak charge rate, but they charge in a very, very different manner in the real world.
edit: Maybe you need to get Kyle Connor back on the show to give a lesson :)
Wow Larry's mic . So much bass. So much. Bass
Great video
Hot water freezes faster than cold water?
Why do you only have 110v in the US??
👍👍
The 12V electrical system controls the High Voltage battery connectors. No 12V - No access to high voltage battery.
The 12v system also powers things like the headlights, power steering, abs, and other safety equipment via the dc to dc converter, or in the event of a high voltage battery issue, those same systems are powered via the 12v battery itself.
So the 12v battery and electrical system provides an important function in EVs.
@@galactictomato1434 👍🏻
Please tell me you at least patented this car interior cleaner that kills idea... that is something that will really be where the money is, licensing.
Ferdinand, a horse that won the Kentucky Derby, was slaughtered in Japan and used for pet food most likely. But maybe glue?
Yess
Crazy that the Tesla solar roof tiles weren't the actual final product at announcement. Almost like every concept car ever. . .
Larry should take up reading audiobooks as a second career
Larry is a speeded up Lex Fridman.
Violin maker still use animal bone glue,
49:00 Read Public Opinion by Walter Lippmann.
Let’s goooooooo
26:00 you were thinking about the instant gratification of the cleaning activity.. No need to involve neurotransmitters.
Instant gratification feels good because we get a hit of dopamine. www.inc.com/melissa-chu/why-your-brain-prioritizes-instant-gratification-o.html
Do more pods together
About the EV situation:
1- its gonna be like the change from horse to cars, its gonna take a while, but when there are chargers dotted about everywhere, the infrastructure wont be a big problem.
2- swappable batteries already exist, Nio (chinese brand) has made 301 stations where u drive the car in and then it replaces the battery, its only in China, but they have been created.
3- the charging port/hose not being standardized is something that needs to be a law, for what i know there no law that imposes a standard port/hose. Tesla has there own, but "normal" car makers also have a few that are different, this is because they either believe that there design is better or they want the customer to buy specific hoses so that then it can use other chargers.
4- charge time is currently the biggest problem, because if a car could only go 250miles but could charge back to full in 15 minutes, then its not so bad.
Much of this points are the same has the phone industry, phones in the early 2000´s didnt last a full day, they charged slowly, some used completely different charges/cables (barrel plug, micro-usb, lightning, usb-c) and some mesurements around these problems were swappable bateries. Phone industry in current time, most phones last the full day if not more, most phones charge either with usb-c or lightning, they can charge up to 80% in 10~15 minutes and swappable batteries no longer exist. This change took ~20years in something that fits in a pocket, it should be faster in EV´s since space isnt so much of a problem, the bigger problem is that phones in 2000´s were something that changed and was essential for the higher-ups (politician and so on), but EV cars are an excuse not a necessity.
The ongoing rants about Tesla are getting so annoying. I agree with the criticisms but man, he is just beating a dead horse
this is the most valuable car company in the world right now. There is no higher punch-up than speaking the truth about that sham.
I think he’s doing a service. I talk to friends who have really drank the Tesla coolaid. I think it’s essential for car journalists to actually speak out about the lack of accountability the company has and how shady it is.
Does it really bother you so much that one media outlet out of 10000000 mentions that its a scam?
guy needs to buy a motorbike for the commute.
Weather
Weather, drive is 7 hours on a bike? When your a tall guy. Nah
Someone timestamp where the ads end. Fuck ads, my show is ad-free forever.
Starting off the video with 8 minutes of promos is absolutely the worst idea I’ve seen done on CZcams.
Comment
U think u got enough paid promotion? Jesus
Larry love your channel. I'll save you 2 years of research. hypochlorous acid. We're already FDA approved. Can be altered if you want your own brand name 🤙
Look at me I’m first
But at what cost?
IDK what press car Tesla didnt give matt or if he lost money on TSLA but he has a vengeance against tesla
Larry’s successful so more power to him; but, spending over three minutes talking about an anti-microbial spray is exactly why I can’t watch his channel.
I found the talk of the new spray and his business to be one of the more interesting parts of the podcast.
@@galactictomato1434 I too like hearing people talking about what they are passionate about, hence why I listen to the TST podcast. But, that spray conversation could have been had in about 30 seconds tops for what was actually said. There wasn't even much detail about what makes it all that effective at killing germs or preventing damage to interiors over other solutions; as a plug it was a fail and as a story it was strung way out. His channel videos are more plugging obviously but have the similar weird, to me anyway, communication approach.
@@TroyHR123 Fair enough
@@TroyHR123 Yeah, exactly. I cant watch his videos either. He makes me tired for some reason. Never been able to put my finger on exactly why. Like I can feel myself becoming exhausted listening to him talk about things in such a high strung, urgent manner.
