What a cringefest shouting woo woo from grown men i get a red face just watching it.
The Exorcist music

An idiot boss is why tool boxes have wheels on them. I never put up with lousy bosses. Tradesmen get to choose where they work.
Funny comment. As I am moving my box this week for that exact reason. Tho he is not an asshole, he is inept at his rather simple job!
An idiot who made a multi million dollar business from scratch on his own???
@2Tech86 I get what you're saying and I've met many idiots with money but it's possible it's all an act for publicity. Just like boxers talking up a fight but actually having great respect for each other. Surely someone with Aaron's skills could have left many years ago if he wanted ...
And RR did make millions from nothing across several businesses which is something I admire
@@SteveRogers461 Everyone admires entrepreneurship and those that accomplish great things. But there are many that do it without shitting on others, praising themselves, and taking all the credit for the work of those they shit on daily... THESE are the people we should be tossing praise to - not people like Richard who in reality (w/o cameras) would have a string of failed used car lots on their 5th name change and a monthly employee rotation.
I stopped watching after Aaron left - that guy was the soul of the garage.
He was the only reason to watch fast n loud
Yes , he was..😱
I agree
I couldn't agree more
Yes he was...
"Can you imagine working in a shop without air conditioning?"
Uh, yeah. Been doing it for 20+ years in Florida.
Ouch
Yes. In the uk practically no workplace has it.
When we get those 30°c days it’s hard so I dread to think what’s it’s like for you all summer long.
Yea, pretty much most mechanics don’t work in an air conditioned shop.
Me just sitting here in Australia like “aircon makes things cold?”
Can u imagine working in a shipyard for 20 years ( sometimes on board where temperatures can reach 60 ) how fun is it?
The magic of the show was at the beginning where Richard with a trailer in tow, negotiated and bought cars, then flipped or improved them making himself a nice chunk of change, something the average car loving mechanic/viewer could do. Then when Richard partnered up with old buddy Dennis, who seemed like a spoiled rich kid always flushed with money and they began working on $1mil Ferraris, that's when Fast & Loud wasn't for the average Joe like me. Their big egos and nonsense didn't help any.
I remember richard flexing to dennis, just after he bought 2 big touring buses, i can finally make dumb desicions when buying things and not care about it
This is why I love Mighty Car Mods - after all these years they are still buying and modding old Japanese nuggets
Totally agree , the early stuff was brilliant. The high end stuff was when I kinda went off it.
I did love the Ford GT they made.
@@rfrugte same, but yeah the high end shit was the beginning of the end.
I enjoyed the show when it was about cars and not big egos.
Facts 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
When were those episodes?
It's all fake anyways
@@RJ1999x it was a show , it was made to entertain and make money
@@TA_Plus_Hemi that was my question too.😉
"... in a shop with no air conditioning..."
Hate to tell ya buddy, most auto repair shops do not have air conditioning in the shop area.
Yeah mate I was going to say that in 20 years of the ive never worked in a heated or aircon shop and I'm from Australia we have both heat and bloody cold
In fairness, what they did wasn't the typical maintenence shop.
Made for TV
It is Texas
Just sayin
@@peterpiper_203
I reckon it would get hot there
I've worked for people like Richard here in the UK and it sucks. All they are interested in is working you to the bone and chasing the buck ( or pound in our case ) ...it doesn't matter how good you are or how loyal you are the slightest mistake, or you saying no to something got you in a whole heap of problems. I decided to go self employed just over 3 years ago, doing the same kind of work , best move I ever made and the icing on the cake, I AM HAPPY !!
In all honesty tho. Richard had to do it for the show. Not to mention he made the people who worked for him a lot of money and gave them a platform.
Yep I have worked for people like that to. That's why I'm on disability now blew my 56 l123 And once I got hurt they where like nice knowing you fuck them
Well played young man , hope you go from strength to strength… keep working hard , it’s you who will benefit ! 👍
That reminds me of the episode where Aaron built a million dollar Lamborghini and the owner handed a 500,000 dollar stack of cash to Richard and a 500,000 dollar stack to aaron and said "one for you and one for you" and Richard straight up was like "nah that's not how it works" and literally grabs the stack of cash from Aaron. If I was aaron I would have quit right then and opened up my own shop right next door
Agreed. There is so many "business owners" like Richard (a lot named Richard too) who take advantage of their employees because they can.
Anyone watching the show who’s worked on corporate projects with unreasonable timelines could tell you Rawlings, while charismatic, did every project shooting from the hip, and if the project was bound to fail because of poor project management, it was always blamed on the fabricators and mechanics.
Aaron’s approach to a business model made a lot more sense, because he could fall back on a steady cashflow of standardized car parts for the hot rod market, and not be under immense pressure to make the profit margin and cash conversion cycle of one-off restoration projects to keep the lights on.
Throw Rawlings a book on Scrum, and let him absorb that before he makes wild plans with ever growing scope creep.
I have never seen anyone so in love with themselves as Richard
Shia LaBeouf.
Donald Trump
I had a friend who had portraits of himself all over his house. He thought he was the best musician ever too. One day he was so excited over a new song he wanted me to hear...so he played it for me...I asked him “Thought you were going to play the new song !?”. That was the new song he said. Rawlings ain’t got nothing on this dude
Junior from American Chopper?
You're not familiar with Texans in general then. Huge egos abound everywhere.
I was contracted by an auction company years ago to take pictures of one of Rawling's cars that was going to auction. He was extremely rude to me and was yelling at employees off camera while I was working. He was pissed off and threw a full can of beer across the shop and it put a hole in the wall. That guy has serious issues and is one of the biggest Pricks I've ever met in my life.
wtf 😂
Well u can see that behavior even in the show where he cant do whatever he want in front of the cameras. But yeah,I always tought he is like a spoiled brat.
Yo getcha pull
Richard was nothing but a big mouth show off
Somehow most of us knew this was his personality even before you told your story , he just comes off to viewers as a prick in real life !!! a real world class a-hole.
As a car guy, I loved the show in the beginning. Great builds the average guy could afford. Why these type of shows don’t stick to what makes them popular is flat out dumb.
As a guy who actually builds cars, I was pretty excited with the first few episodes of Monster Garage when it came out, but then we saw the networks remove any semblance of educational value & turned it into a joke shop. Since then... “turn that shit off!”
That's why I like watching Stacy David's GearZ, he explains and shows how to actually do stuff on whatever you are working on, and his timeliness on his builds are much more realistic. The V8 Interceptor build for example, I think he started it in either season 10 or 11 and it wasn't finished until season 14.
@@michaelcallan5336: Ian Johnson (big tire garage) has earned my respect time & again, he has a lot of good ideas, his work is solid & he don’t participate in any of that BS drama.
@@loganshotrod4x464 Good to know, I will look him up. Edit: After looking him up, I think I recognize him, wasn't he a part of Xtreme 4x4 on the Powerblock years ago, with Jessie Combs that passed away last year I think it was?
Full Custom Garage is the only build show worth watching
When he took creative control away from Aaron that was pretty much the end. Never was the same after.
Yeah, Aaron "let's put every car on airbags" Kaufman. Lame
I think when ARRON left the show died
Yea now he is working on Daily Driven Exotics f12
Aaron*
I disagree
the all about A ron show worked out well ..
I stopped watching as much after Aaron left. Hadn't watched at all the last couple years.
Aaron was really the only reason I watched fast n loud. He had some great ideas for the cars and cool ways to do them. Once he left the cars were less good.
There is only so much “let’s al have a massive argument, threaten to quit, and oh look we completed the car with minutes to spare again” one brain can take…….
I think Aeron was a pretty important part of the shows success, and without him the show lost more than just a mechanic.
It was also around that time that news of how much of a narcissistic prick Rowlings is. I mean we seen it on the show, but a lot of people didn't realize he was actually that way and worse.
That is AARON ??
Casey was a big part as well!
@@sydbell8508 no Richard was the prick.
I cant believe this content creator just glossed over everything about Aaron. He was the reason alot of people watched
The wife can’t stand him. He overplayed his hand and lost all the key mechanics.
The fact that you mentioned how your wife feels about him tells me all I need to know.
@@littlejackalo5326 I thought he was talking about Richard Rawlings' wife. Seems she bailed on him and came back when the Discovery checks started coming in.
@@joshuasill1141 she's gone ...he has a new 20 something trophy wife now
@@littlejackalo5326 LMFAO........
"Everyone's taking a 20% pay cut so I can afford this building"
Huh, wonder why everyone wanted to leave
chill out it was a joke
I could go more years without hearing "wooooo!" Again
Aaron made the show worth watching. I lost interest when he left.
Me two
@@sheilacombs7037 ^too !!!!
@@zach123beast whatever i wish all I had to do all day is correct people grammar. 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂 😹
Its a joke chill!! i do agree though aarons departure killed the show
I still really liked it even without him.
As someone who has "met" Richard, I can say he is one of the most rude people I've ever met. I was looking at his car outside a restaurant and he comes out furious and cussing for me to back away when I was more than 10 ft away.
Odin 42 met RR at two industry training events, where he was a paid personality to show up. Drunk both times and just a total a-hole. He needed a better handler, apparently
Shoulda knocked his teeth out!
Total douche move! He seems like the type of guy where if u complimented his car he would reply with “I know” instead of “thank you” or “thanks man”. Like a lot of people in the comments, I stopped following the show after Aaron left
Real POS !!!
I never liked him ,always hoped to see him fail
Can't imagine very many people listening to his pod cast.
Richard is a legend in his own mind i prefer shows where the owner actually does something ie iron resurrection , etc etc
Agree, Joe Martin has amazing talent.
To quote Sue. “Gas monkey? More like Ass monkey!”
Also called them “cheap ass monkey”
Sue could have had her own show and would have been more entertaining.
Why you always bring me junk?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She was the only bright spot on the show.
Richard was a legend in his own mind, what a small place it is!. Even Dennis backed away from him.
@DD PN Have watched. Seems Dennis is getting a bit to big for his britches. Flaunts his buying power & all his toys at the viewer. Always in a big hurry to make that killer deal.
Yeah, empty vessel makes the most noise
Richard and Dennis to me are the epitome of Texas, wait, add Joel Osteen and Kenneth Copeland. The Californians moving to Texas will be their reward, reap what you sow.
I met Richard twice -personally i would never do business with him, the real Richard is nothing like the TV version, its all fluff and those that worked for him know far more about the business, restoration, etc than he does-he is a salesman and not much else right or wrong
@@dalemason9886 Yeah! It was not Richard, .... but Aaron who made the show! And it was Aaron who slept in the shop! Richard never did anything!
My boss in the garage helped us late at night! He didn't know what he was doing. But he was there. And learned a lot. Now he knows about cars and helps us where he can. The only thing he never forgot, .... was to eat lunch at home with his wife like always! My boss is a legend! Richard is just a phony!
Rawlings is done on TV. It wasn't always about him and when you drive off the talent and are stuck alone, the magic ends too.
Well Said!!!
Good
Still watching the CZcams show. I really appreciate the work and perseverance Richard has. That drive is something I wish I had.
Richard just hasn't had a good old fashioned punch in the teeth yet to help tame his ego.
His ex buddies like James Hetfield from Metallica were just as douchey as him but got punched by their wife's so they went into rehab and are new men Richard needs to do the same but no he still binge drinks and just acts like a fucking asshole it's like handlebar mustaches turn older men into jerks
His behavior is exactly like that of a junior high school student. And adults are not impressed with it.
Yeah right on
I never liked the theme of the show. "Let's wait for two weeks before SEMA and work 30 hours a day to complete a show car with a budget of $20K".
Deadlines and budget are made up for tv. In regality these cars took months to build...
I remember an episode where they filmed Aaron sleeping in a car cause of him working late hours to get the car finished
I believe that a major cause of Rawlings' downfall was his friendship with Dennis Collins. Collins is a bona fide millionaire and a successful businessman. The social climbing Rawlings was so drawn to being like Collins that he engaged in businesses that were unsuccessful and he abused his employees so severely that they had no loyalty to the Gas Money brand. Of course, there was never any thought given to sharing the success/money with those responsible for creating it.....i.e. Aaron Kaufman's departure. When Rawlings and Collins would go on 'car buying' trips, you frequently saw Rawlings treat sellers very poorly where Collins almost always was much more generous and fair with his purchase offers. Collins was 24kt gold, Rawlings was shown to be gold-plate.
Got tired of hearing about how much money everything costed him🤦♂️
Dude was making millions and complained as he was on a small budget
Cant say Richard didn't try to build an empire...and in many ways he did , .but when you burn out and mistreat the crew that does the builds for you while you run around acting like an idiot , it's pretty easy to predict the longevity of it's existence.
i completely agree with you . when AARON is gone ....
Agree. Same premise for Orange County Choppers.. My unlicensed professional opinion
"Fast N' Loud" died the day Aaron left, it just took a few years for Richard to accept it and finally pull the plug. Loved the early seasons and the amazing rides they created, but shenanigans outweighed production in the final years, and boredom set it. Would love to see Aaron back building amazing rides in the future, maybe with an equal partner that has the same sense of style as he has.
It started going down hill after Aaron left
When they moved to a bigger shop you could see it coming. His ego was the reason I stopped watching.
I thought it was the restaurant. That’s when American Chopper jumped the 13 barrels.
I like the early days of Fast N Loud. Once it got popular more and more the shows were getting more and more produced and faking storylines.
happens with all those shows. They become less and less about the product and more and more about the toxic personalities.
Check American Chopper too. Same concept, same split, same everything.
@@jwenting i was a teenager when OCC 1st came out I was a huge fan. Even drove up there just to drive by the shop and they were having a autograph signing there. Got to meet them in person. Yea I agree, it’s a shame how the shows change.
I agree...i guess i can relate when the struggle was real and car builds were more relatable too the masses. But it kind went too exotic car build which IMO represented the 1%.
in my opinion, the only car show that has stayed a "car" show is Roadkill. that show is always interesting and each episode is different.
I liked the show it started to go down hill when he got into selling alcoholic beverages and he was drunk for most of the show. I thought that really wasn't necessary, especially since there's a lot of kids that watch the show and it's not good business practices to drink on the job. he made a complete ass of himself in the Pebble Beach episode where he showed his car. I was embarrassed for him. He also made an ass of himself at the horse race episode. He was definitely getting too big for his britches.
Some of the builds started to get kind of boring.
I literally seen the show for the first time while visiting my 75yo dad. He's a car guy, I'm a motorcycle guy. He loved the show, but said it changed for the worse. Successful people come and go, but being successful for the long haul takes perspective. If he feels everyone is beneath him and treats them accordingly, you'll fail because workers will look elsewhere. Owners have the drive to work 16hr days because they want to build an empire, workers want to work, go home and watch junior play ball, eat dinner with the family.
Exactly right... It takes a workaholic to build a business empire, but the people he hires to work for him are usually NOT workaholics. Employees usually have wives, kids, and family to deal with, and that's exactly why they aren't starting businesses of their own. Employers have to realize this, and understand it, otherwise they are going to have unhappy employees and low morale in the workplace. Keep your workers happy, and things will work out for the best. Overwork your employees, and treat them like robots and disposable grunts, and your business WILL fail.
When Aaron left, I left too, he was the driving force, he designed the cars.
I honestly tried to watch a few episodes without Aaron, and it just wasn't happening. Discovery tried to push Jason Aker as the replacement, but he originally got his start as the dork who knew all about "concours" restorations. That was a turning point in the series because it was basically Richard telling Aaron "you only know how to make things go fast." Aaron was gone before the season ended. Jason starts growing a beard, turns his baseball cap backwards, and buys a pair of shades.
Rawlings is an overinflated ego manic. I can't stand him.
You are a salty snowflake .
@@jayjaycaracas413 nope, just can't stand rude, annoying, loud mouth people who think they are special for no apparent reason.
@@jayjaycaracas413 Seems YOU'RE the snowflake. Other people have different opinions. I guess you think the Burn Loot Murder lot are not actually Racist....
Yeah I'd hate to work with him, or work for him, but it makes good TV. Cant deny that.
It’s those personalities that make for good T.V
A couple of comments. Having met King Richard at the Woodward Dream Cruise a few years back I can say he is definitely full of himself. He was carted around and acting like royalty. As for the show I personally think it ended long before Aaron left. The basic premise for the show is used car salesman and money man Richard would go buy a car and let Aaron do his thing and Richard would only occasionally show up which worked out perfectly. Things started changing when Aaron became more of a manager and told his crew what he wanted but didn't do anything himself on the cars. After telling them his vision he left them on their own. That is when it ended for me and I didn't watch it much after that. He was the show.
Aaron Kaufman was clearly the smartest and best builder for the show " Fast N' Loud " ( aka: Gas Monkey ) : He theory was " Quality is First " on a true realistic schedule. OH YEA !
available hindi fast n loud
You could feel and see the tension through the TV over the last 5 seasons.
Richard is the type of guy that you’d like to see beat up real bad in a bar fight
I'd buy tickets for that!
Woo!
Exactly. He reminds us of trump in that way.
@@heavenhelpus479 speak for yourself. Go watch your CNN,
@@merkinyall Well you have to admit, they both love themselves passionately, and neither one owns a mirror, and both wives hate their husbands. I'd pay $1000 for 5 minutes in a locked room, alone, with either one! LOL
Tom Smith was the guy you wanted to have beers with, Aaron Kaufmann the guy you wanted to work with and Rawlings the guy you wanted to punch in the face.
LMAO exactly!
Aaron was an egomaniac. Work with him? No thanks.
Discovery actually canned Aaron to create friction
I followed Tom Smith on his FB page and all he posted was far right political agenda and he was rude to people who disagreed with him
@david peet lol. So, he was just a normal every day person?
I dont think Richard is a bad guy. just a guy focussed on bisinuess. Aaron was what was holding Richards humbleness, when Aaron left, richard went off on his ego. Still, hes not a bad guy, hes just become too fussed with bisinuess.
Ive been to that shop, they don't like paying their people, if you want to keep all your guys working you have to treat them good.
but "it's a privilege to work for the famous Richard Rawlings, you should be happy I even let you enter these hallowed grounds"...
Once his best designer left Rawlings had no skills to keep it going. His final season was the nail in his coffin. His Dragster team quit when he failed to pay the bills and trak fines.
Anything in life only lasts for so long. Even Amazon, Walmart, and social media one day will come to an end.
Oh please be true
Imagine shorting Amazon, Walmart and Facebook stock ; then wait a few decades, billion$.
And the sooner the better!
cant wait that day...
You know that Beretta, Manufacturers of the US service pistol, was founded in 1526?
Krupp another European arms manufacturer started in 1587. Krupp also supplied the steel which built the US railroads and capped the Chrysler Building.
I wish him good luck but it didn't take a genius to see he's his own worst enemy.
Exactly. Self destructive, deeply insecure and narcissistic. Aaron was the glue. Rawlins was successful despite himself. He had the negotiating skills of a 7 year old and the only thing that kept him above water was the loyalty and dedication of his team. I often wondered if he had old money to keep him floated because his decision making was so flawed and foolhearty
Richard Rawlings has his Cannonball time tattooed on his arm and refuses to acknowledge it's no longer the record lmao
I got sick of Richard pretty quickly. He worked too hard at being cool. He’s not cool. He’s a spoiled head case. Just couldn’t watch it.
😂😂 so many haters. He is cool. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Did the pony tail give it away?
jay sorry, but he isn't cool, more like a jerk than anything!
When Aaron left, so did the cool about the show.
@@slowshop, There’s no question, Aaron is a gifted craftsman, and has an incredible sense of design. I still couldn’t sit through listening to Richard waiting to see what Aaron was goin to do next. I have a lot of more important things to do.
My service company used to service their paint booth and even though we accepted the jobs, you knew it would be a break even at best scenario. One time Richard said he needed the booth stark white again so we installed a special (expensive) coating made for booths and at the end of the day he walked in and said it was too white and would glare in the camera so we need to make it less white. Right.....
Needless to say he didn’t pay us to fix it. Anytime we would get a call on his behalf, he would pretty much expect shit for free because of the show. None of that equipment was owned by him. It was all “consigned” (which is pretty normal from what I hear) with the promise of free advertising which products never got mentioned, only the 1 second camera shot. We never put any equipment in there because we didn’t see the benefit but that didn’t stop them from asking. Aaron was and still is a very nice guy. I’ve spoke to Richard at times and he was as normal as anyone else but when the cameras were on or even remotely close or at a public event he would let his ego get the best of him by turning into the 1 guy everyone wanted to punch before the day was done.
Never would of thought that but I suppose we will never know watching it on TV. Shame but what a dick nonetheless.
Aaron was the brains behind the creations. Now it's just an empty show with guest builders.
I don’t know how Richard’s personality is in real life but as young fan who enjoyed watching him and his crew flip cars and entertain us while doing it will never get old , I absolutely love the show and I hope that some day Richard and his old crew come back together for a last time for a new season or a new show .
as Bob Dylan said ‘Money doesn’t talk, it swears’. big ego, no person skills and he got more and more vulgar. and Aaron was the soul of the show.
Yeah gas monkey really ended once he left.
As Bob Dylan said "------------" "YAWN".
I thought he always had loads of cash. And he liked to flash it. I thought he should have more quality and professional staff. Too much goofing around to take the shops builds serious
i cant believe you left out the "or i fire you" moment during the last build aaron was doing. i saw it in his eyes at that moment. "he was both surprized, but also u could see the determination to make him regret saying /threathening him like that.
Too be honest I met him in 2019 in the shop he was just comming back, he done the whole picture thing with everyone in the shop he was very in character but you could tell he was worn out made my trip from England to Texas complete I hope he goes on to be able to enjoy himself
I never really liked the show too much after they moved from the original garage. I liked it when the program was about finding old cars and flipping them. Once they moved, the show seemed to go more "Hollywood" with celebrities, special builds for billionaires and corporations, Gas Monkey Bar and Grill, tequila, etc. Then Aaron left which did it for me.
The thing that killed the show for me, was around season 2 or three when he started doing unrealistic timelines and pushing his employees harder. I was like "I seen this before, only it was Boyd Coddington at the lead" the moment it became the other show, i lost interest
@William Schwartz, I am not taking anything away from him, as a creative genius. But with that genius, there usually is a shit load of arrogance and hubris. The world lost a great mind, but all i could think of, was his crew could finally take a nap. I seen many many supposedly two day (claimed) stints, by the guys there trying to back his overloaded bravado up. loved his designs, but hated the guy as a whole. Right down to his fake modesty when showing the final product
Let's not forget it's a produced TV show with made up deadlines for ratings
@@DirtyBertyGameing, I understand that, but it's still copy paste, nothing new
@@crazylarryjr Nobody builds cars on that kind of schedule and if they tried i would not be too trusting as to the results.
@@gregorytimmons4777, I get that, the schedule was for the TV and discovery, but there was deadlines and sleepless nights to be sure. And I agree a lot of that was played up for the audience. just saying I hate dicks and assholes, and Boyd Coddington was a rare case of being capable of both. America HotRod became what American Chopper became, just a talking head show with more fluff than substance. And so did fast and loud, the same thing killed all three for me
The boss seems like an annoying ego maniac who would throw anyone under the bus for his own ends
Sadly I've seen it many times as a tech. From simple mishaps with parts to changes in the job or deadlines. I've left a few shops to bosses like that. It's far to common in this field.
I wouldn't put up with him. I assumed the employees were getting paid just enough to tolerate the public humiliation.
He was cool for many years till he wasn’t anymore
Yeah Richards ego ran Aaron out which was the worst thing Gas Monkey could’ve done. Aaron is a mechanical genius.
I remember the Mustang totaled EP, my heart shattered when I heard it was totaled. My favorite car
I quit watching a long time ago. Every build was the same as the last, always building with unrealistic delivery times, so everyone was under stress and every build had airbags on it. Like clockwork, Aaron would say, "I have an idea, lets put airbags on it"....And then of course because they rushed to build it, there would be last minute engine fluid leaks or some other thing that needed to be fixed. The same show, week after week, blah blah blah...
All of those shows are like that. The house fixer uppers and more. Throw in the personality conflicts and bam, ya gotta show. The script is like a form letter, insert detail here. Reminds me of the love boat in the 70's. Hated the show but I didn't have a clock( it came on right before I had to go to work ) set up, conflict, conflict resolution. You could time it down to 1 &1/2 minutes what time it was.
The phony emergency delivery time gimick goes back to Boyd Coddington and show. It creates drama and I used to sit in a bar with a local celebrity auto builder who has done losts of things for pro football players and others. His shop is called Big Dicks. Try putting that on TLC. Do you want it as is on Friday or perfect on Monday? Get real!
Yes I can imagine working in a shop without the luxury of an air conditioning blowing on me as most shops dont have air conditioning inside the actual garage lmao
I took a tour and i live in Dallas it has air conditioning in the garage where they build the cars at .
To quote Richard: "Whooooooo" (putting hand in my hair)
Needed more of Christine in a bathing suit...
you guys down bad
@BakedPo Tato The body is the reason she had five kids.
No
Definitely !! She is healthy. Loved her cool personality too. Smokin' HOT body .
Its Christinith 🤣
Whatever. Every show ends, except the Simpsons.
The simpsons end long ago. They die after the 11th season. Since then the Simpsons are just a stupid and uninspired copy of its own.
Rawlings is a punk. I liked Aaron and the crew. The last few seasons are all about Richard’s love of Richard.
Support'n the brand brother!
It ended after Aaron left. That’s it, the end.
Remember that’s episode like if it was last night...
Math was that simple...... Can’t have a great garage without a great mechanic
I literally stopped watching right after aaron left
Thats exactly what happened Aaron was the shit
That’s why Aaron needs a job the crew that work at gas monkey are great at what they do great builders
You only catch lightning in a bottle once he's to full of his self and will never do it again
Love this channel, guys r wicked xx
Scott wasn't fired, he quit at the end of Season 1. Said Richard was working him too hard and not paying him enough. Also Richard and Aaron said on Fast N Loud that Scott was a good mechanic who quit on them.
Sounds like he’s headed in the Same direction is Paul Senior of orange county choppers
What happened to that guy?
Always thought Richard was a poser/con man...
he is the f40 was done by red car restorations in GM shop... i know bc i worked for tim of red car and bob norwood who found them the front clip for it
Richard IS a poser. He's a brand developed by Discovery Channel.
Richard is definitely a lit of things, and has been a lot of things..from a cop to a paramedic. One thing we can't take away from him...he's a self made man.
That loud mouthed ego maniac built himself an empire off hard work and savy
Well if he was a cop he probably stole a load of money heading back over the border that explains it all
Especially after he pussied out of a drag race.
Rawlings turned into American Chopper lol. That’s the quick versiob
Lol does the narrator realize like 99% of mechanic shops don’t have ac lol
Never watched this show very much, tried to, but Richard was such an asshole I usually just turned it off. He was a good example of not how to manage people or a business.
True. But if you think this was bad, try just a few minutes of the wonderful Gold family (pawn brokers in Detroit) in the horrific "Hard Core Pawn". Ticks every box in hopeless customer and staff relations. One screaming match after another.
I stopped watching his show long time ago, he was just too full of himself😝
Only watched one episode. Seemed like a jerk .
@@keithqueen3554 Actually is a jerk.
I hate him. Why has God not taken him away yet.
@@mikefrye447 yikes
So glad I found this. I learned that there is a one of one? 69 full frame Camaro. Who knew?
"I have to meet the dead line" his favorite words over working his crew to maximize his profits.
The shows don’t need him at all honestly
You can have the car painter act as the leader without Richard taking any camera time *and the show would work!*
@@MainMite06 facts
Aaron is a douche
When Arron left the show it went down hill.
just the same with Ed on wheeler dealers
Whats the name of track playing in the background
"Old dogs never die, they just find a new home, lol."
Richard doesn’t care about shit but money nothing else
He always came off as cheap dick mostly to me, how about you do one thing well before you start something else up
Like the count Danny?
That's because money talks and bullshit walks. Money is power. It is most sought after.
@@stevenmorrison4692 it is sought after but damn at least put a limit on the cockiness
Unfortunately even Richard doesn’t understand that all the personalities make the show. Perfect example: oc choppers
i miss monster garage the most
I stopped watching American Chopper when the personalities became more important than the bikes...
@@jwenting you were a minority. That’s when the show took off.
Diesel Brothers was a fun show to lots of personality
Watching fast n loud on CZcams while watching season 13 ep 1 of fast n loud on my tv.
Honestly though, the show ending was the best thing to happen to GMG. Their CZcams channel has been going pretty well and it is more about the cars than ever and without the production bs, it is just way better. There are some moments where it is clearly re-done because they strait up didn't record a phone call or something but even that is few and far between. They are still very much in business and way more open to fans now and when I went there twice (once during their tv time and another time more recent where they only do CZcams and actual work) the difference is night and day. Before they had no time and you can just feel the stress and burnout. When I went more recently, I just wanted to get some merch and maybe see some cars if I was lucky and they offered me a full on tour when I never mentioned anything about wanting one and even got pictures taken with Richard and some of his current crew. Now there is still some ego there, I cannot deny that, but anyone with money, talent, and that kind of following will have an ego and that is a fact.
We quit watching show YEARS AGO over Rawlings attitude!.
Never really cared for Rawlings and his ego.
"Can you imagine being crammed under a car in a shop with no air conditioning?" Why yes, yes I can. I do it everyday for a living. LOL
The employees probably got sick of Richard’s obnoxious ego, have to admit he was hard to tolerate.
The "merch" line will fail once the hour long commercial ends.
Who wears OCC stuff anymore?
Third world countries after they were donated. Not joking. These will follow suit as a tax write-off.
Umm who wore OCC stuff in the first place? Lol
@@rhynonymous losers who thought they were tough?
I never wore the OCC garbage ain't gonna wear ass monkey shit either
OCC and Gas Monkey both have Giga Chad bosses who are complete dicks
"on screen talent" - Richard Rawlings... What a joke
I would never work for him. Don’t care who he is. He’s a d bag.
As Former owner of Diamond Finish LLC in Ohio its sad to see that they went under, alongside a million independent shops,
I don't know about anyone else, but having the employees work over 8-10hrs with very little breaks on a vehicle, doesn't seem SAFE! I definitely wouldn't allow anyone working on my breaks with Sleep Deprivation!😵🚗💨😬
