Today in the studio we’re joined by James Pumphrey! Whether you know him from his days at Donut or his new channel Speeed, there’s more than meets the eye, as Scotto discovers ‘The Real James Pumphrey’. They compare notes on their days as YouTube rivals and tell us what they make of the content world these days, as well as exploring the ethos behind James’ plans with Speeed, and why “Mr. Beast Sucks” ! So kick back and hang with these two VW nerds as they plot their takeover of the movie world. Enjoy!

Take your seats for this Fiery, Ferarri-flavored Face-off! In the red corner, fresh out of her oily-black Testarossa, we’ve got newcomer Victoria Bruno (@MotoriBruno), a vintage Ferrari mechanic on the rise. In the (other) red corner, none other than one of the most controversial builders today: Mike Burroughs (StanceWorks)! His 308 and F40 Frankenstein creatures are the stuff of exquisite nightmare! So gather round! Watch as these two duke it out: purism versus modding, each getting their jabs in. Scotto acts as not-so-reluctant referee and third member to this particularly unholy Ferrari owners club. Who will triumph? You’ll have to watch to find out!

Scotto takes both Danger Dan and Mister Zachary captive this Christmas eve, thrusting them into the proverbial hotseat on the VERY VEHICULAR HOLIDAY SPECIAL! As you’d expect, they get into some memories from the OG days of Hoonigan as well as fill us in on what mayhem they’re up to lately. If you listen closely, you might even hear the whisperings of … a possible reunion? Stay tuned, and Happy Holidays!

He’s ready to set the record straight on stories from the Hoonigan days, he relives the horror of jumping (and capsizing) an ATV in the desert, the joys of working with T-Pain, and naturally, gives Scotto as much s**t as you’d hope for. Finally, they litigate their ranking for the top builds at Hoonigan in Firing Order. Enjoy!
