- Holy shit balls! We're back, baby!
Man, I miss this song too. (upbeat pop music)
And today we have an absolute heater.
All right, if you're a car enthusiast
then you know exactly who we're talking to.
I think every enthusiast at some point has sat
and watched David review cars
and give his kind sweet hearted opinion on 'em.
I'm really out here.
But that's the problem, That Dude In Blue is nice,
almost too nice, all right,
and I'm ready to get to the bottom of it.
David has been making videos reviewing cars since 2012.
That's 10 years ago, by the way.
Holy shit. Let that sink in.
In 2012, the movie "50 Shades Of Grey" came out.
Hey David, thoughts on filming "50 Shades Of Blue"?
(chuckles) No, maybe? What do you think?
Let's roll back a little bit.
Well kids, am I good right here?
(knuckles cracking)
That Dude In Blue has over 900,000 more subscribers
than Taco Bell but is he worth it?
Today, we sit down with that owner
and have a good old chat.
Driver!
(upbeat pop music)
There you go.
(host shouting indistinctly)
(upbeat pop music)
(host panting)
We're back, baby!
Welcome back! "Driver To Driver" season four (slaps desk)!
We got hood scoops!
We got hundred bolts! (explosion booming)
The desk is modified.
We don't even need modified cars anymore.
Let's see who we got going on here today.
Who's gonna kick this off? It better be someone decent.
Oh, all right.
Today, we're here with a very special guest.
We have Papa Smurf.
That Dude In Blue. That Dude Blue.
David, David, that's who we got.
How the hell are ya?
- Not paid to be here.
- No, that's true. That's awkward.
Also, I want to apologize right away.
I'm extremely embarrassed. I'm so sorry, David.
(scoffs) I didn't mean to do this.
I talked to my crew. I talked to production.
(Edgar speaking foreign language)
Edgar, we've talked about this.
- I'm honored.
- Yeah, well, I'm not.
So Edgar, thank you for fixing that,
but this might be your last episode.
(sighs) Now that we have the story straight here
and we're good to go.
You ready to hop into this?
- Oh, absolutely. Let's do it.
- Let's do it.
Oh, don't forget wheels, tires, and suspension.
(host slapping rim)
Www.fitmentindustries.com.
I was nervous the glass was gonna break,
but it didn't break. (David laughing)
I'm a good host. It's a good set.
So, all right.
So, since the last time we talked,
and I think we did over quarantine a little bit.
That was a weird time.
- Oh yeah, I totally forgot about it.
- What's new? What's going on?
- Lots of traveling.
Lots of filming and just trying to change things up
and always stay fresh.
- I heard that. Kinda like Subway's motto too.
- Yeah. - Stay fresh.
- It didn't go so well for Jared.
(cell door shutting)
(static hissing)
(both men laughing)
- No. No.
(stammering) Alright. So, okay.
We're gonna just cut the shit right away.
We're gonna get into this.
We're gonna get down to the nitty gritty.
I wanna know some secrets of That Dude In Blue.
Have you ever lied about liking a car
to make the owner feel better while reviewing it?
- Once.
- Oh! He knew instantly, like, it was like bing.
- Oh yeah. Car almost killed me too.
- Oh my God. Why?
- The top hat of the coil over snapped off.
The brake caliper was mounted wrong.
So you would brake and it would go all over the road.
The harnesses were mounted to the floorboard,
it could break my neck.
- Oh my God!
- Need I say more? It was a dangerous car.
- Do you haters that want to kill you or what's going on?
- Somebody at a car meet did loose my lung nuts once.
- That's so messed up.
- Yep (laughing). - Jesus!
- True story.
- That's (bleeped out). I don't like that.
Don't loosen his lung nuts. He's a nice guy.
I even said, I was like,
"We really wanna open this with David?
"He's like the nicest guy I know.
"He's like borderline too nice."
You know what I'm saying? - I've heard that.
- Yeah. (both laughing)
You ever heard of The One Suck Challenge?
- No.
- All right, well-
- It sounds like I shouldn't have anyway.
- We've got a Capri Sun here for you, David.
- Oh! I'm actually really excited about this.
- Yeah, you should be
because it's The One Suck Challenge, baby.
(lively soft rock music)
So here's the rules.
You've got a Capric Sun. You got the straw.
You can do whatever you want with that.
But the rules are, you're not allowed to swallow
and you gotta try and finish the Capri Sun in one suck.
(Capri Sun hitting floor)
(intense bass music)
What? Did you blow up my chair now?
Yeah, careful. Jesus!
- Hey, I have a pretty good track record. Okay?
- Oh, I've seen a couple videos, but we'll get into that.
- Yeah. A couple? (host laughing)
Out of how many?
All right, so I have to do it in one go?
- One go. You can't like swallow though.
You only get one swallow.
- Oh. - That's the key thing.
- Oh yeah. That's not gonna work.
- [Host] Yeah, it's hard.
It's been done but it's hard.
- I'm asthmatic.
(both laughing)
- Well, it's a drink. You don't gotta breathe.
You'll be all right.
(all laughing)
If you don't want smoke in the air
then don't blow up my chair.
Careful now. Careful, yeah.
Whoa (laughing)!
- If you didn't make me laugh, I would've,
I was almost there.
- David, it was The One Suck Challenge,
not The You Suck Challenge.
- I mean. (men laughing)
(host stammering)
(host stammering in slow motion)
(men laughing)
- I'll have you know I would've won,
sucked this no (blanked out) problem.
- [David] Do you have a Swiffer?
(men laughing)
- That's enough outta me.
Let's hear it for our extremely cool and loyal
YouTube community!
Woo Hoo!
These right here, these are from the people.
(exciting hip hop music)
So starting off, we have JJ02MC and he asked,
"What's the absolute worst (blanked out) up
"you've made while working on a car?"
- "While working on a car"?
- [Host] Yeah, yeah. It's kind of specific.
- Honestly, it's probably when I was learning
how to work on the 2J in 2015 or 16,
and I just did basically all the gaskets wrong, you know?
So the moment we really, 'cause I literally have nobody
in my family who was into cars, nobody.
So I was literally learning how to ridge my first time
all on camera, which, you know, at first,
seems like a great idea.
But then it just makes people go, "Wow, you suck dog."
Like, you know, because- (both laughing)
- Yeah I seen the Capri Sun thing.
- But guess what? - What?
- They're right.
Like, I had no skillset back then
and I learned the hard way.
And Ed didn't even have to turn the motor over, right?
It wasn't until I got down to Georgia
and I had people inspect it and be like,
"Yeah your rear main is done.
"Your valve covers are done.
"Like, all those gaskets you ordered"-
- Basically what he was saying was.
(money gun humming)
- That's right. - Right.
- That's right.
- Airheaded Aviator asks,
"Do you ever get recognized out of the blue or only in it?
- I think I just, I think my heart just stopped.
- You broke him. (all laughing)
You broke him. He's asthmatic.
Medic? - No.
- Oh. Oh.
- I'd say there are those moments where I'll be
like grocery shopping or something and some people be like,
"Yo, you grocery shop just like me?"
- (laughing) Yeah, he eats food.
- I'm like, "Yeah, yeah." You know?
But no, I mean 99.9% of the time,
it's a great interaction when I meet people
who have ever watched even if they, you know,
they're a old time viewer or a new time viewer,
it's usually a great experience.
- Darren Cole Blends wants to know-
- Why are you hesitating?
- "Out of all the colors of the rainbow,
"why would you choose blue,
"the one color that is associated with blue balls?"
- That's really unfortunate.
- (laughing) I know that was, it was,
again, just oddly specific.
- I don't know.
I think, I mean, the short form story of it is,
on YouTube, there used to be video responses,
which were like video comments.
- Right.
- So instead of typing your comment to hate somebody
you could video record yourself to hate somebody, you know?
- [Host] (laughing) That's O.G. shit.
- So, some people will take these YouTube channels
and take advantage of the video response.
So, way back in the day, Phillip DeFranco,
big channel obviously.
- [Host] O.G..
- He had a movie club YouTube channel.
And basically what he would do is give a Netflix code out
and then he'd be like,
"Hey, we're all gonna watch this movie
"and then you're gonna review this movie,
"and then put it as video response.
"And then I'll put you in the montage for the next episode
"of what we just watched."
So I was like, "Oh shoot I'll",
and he always gave everybody like trendy names,
and I literally was wearing a blue shirt that day.
And I was like, "Okay, I'm That Dude In Blue."
It was that simple. - That was it.
- It was a throw away YouTube account.
- Times were so simple back then.
You could just wear a blue shirt
and start a YouTube channel.
All right, Opt-O-Ops simply says,
"I'm listening.
"So tell me the story about a little dude that drives
"in a blue car and all day and all night,
"and everything he sees is just blue,
"like him inside and outside.
"Blue, his house with a blue little window, and a 240SX."
- Oh, 240? Okay.
- "And everything is blue for him,
"and himself, and everybody around
"'cause he ain't got nobody to listen."
- He's blue, daba dee daba di.
- Now, that was touching. That was deep.
But we're gonna stop there
'cause the YouTube community is getting,
they're getting a little,
they start, you know, they start, all right.
So enough out of the YouTube community,
we got some more questions though.
Okay, this is a little bit different here
but I have an important question for you.
- I'm ready.
- First of all, do you recognize this car in this photo?
- I sure do.
- Okay. Second of all, that is an Import Alliance.
Do you recognize the man in the photo that's circled?
- Yes. He works here.
- Really?
- [David] Yeah.
- Mike, come out here.
- Hey! That's amazing. (Host laughing)
- Mike told me he specifically stood in your video,
so that way he could be in it back in 2015.
- That's fine with me.
- Somehow he managed to wear the same shirt
that he was wearing in that photo too (laughing).
- Was that a plan?
- [Mike] No, actually not.
This is a similar shirt, but not the same.
- [David] The stars align.
- All right Mike, that's enough out of you.
You're pissing me off. - The stars align.
- Okay, you can keep that. You can frame it.
- Oh, I can't wait. - Don't fold it.
Don't crease it. Okay.
So me and you both know you blew
up an 800 horsepower Subaru while reviewing it.
- Sure did. - That happened.
What are your thoughts on Subaro?
Subaro. Eh, Subaru as a whole on reliability?
- It depends on the generation.
- Okay. - That's my theory.
So I have friends at Off The Line Performance,
which was the car I was driving.
Thankfully it was a bad head gasket.
- I've heard that before.
- So, they fixed it literally two days later.
So it wasn't some catastrophic failure
like I thought, which was like, "Thank God."
- It's typically catastrophic.
- But I have to say,
and I mean this completely out of love,
the most cars that have broken on me
during interviews were Subarus.
- I know (laughing)! They're all broken!
Every first sale ad says it's on its third motor.
- Well, I think, so what's really,
I find this really fascinating
about the Subaru community and-
- Is that they keep buying them (laughing)?
- Okay. Listen.
I wanna be very specific,
especially the modified Subaru community.
What I've had in my experience was that
when I talked to a Subaru guy and they build a motor
and they do everything, they're like,
"Yeah, I'm on my third motor or my second",
like it's no big deal.
- [Host] Yeah, it's normal. It's like maintenance.
- And I go, "You know that's not normal?
"Like, in other platforms you could literally
"have one motor last almost forever if you take care of it."
And they're like, "That's not true."
- (laughing) They're like brainwashed.
- No, I literally, I went on a car review like two years ago
and I asked a guy how much money he thought
I had in my Bolton white Mustang and it made 475 wheel.
I had $700 in the car total.
- That's not too shabby. - Total.
- [Host] Yeah, that's unheard of.
- I asked him how much he had in his Subaru
that made like 350 horsepower.
It was like 40 grand. (Host laughing)
I'm like, "What are you doing?"
- Yeah. They're a different breed.
- The dedication is real.
- And I don't know what they're dedicated to.
What do they like?
- I don't know but-
- (laughing) I don't know either.
(Host mimicking car revving)
- Well unequal equal, bro.
- Yeah!
- Yeah, but, no, they're fun to drive cars.
I think the hard thing about it is when you filmed
every generation before, it's hard to review them again.
Because they used essentially
the same engine for 20, 30 years so-
- And they just keep popping. - That's the only downside.
- Boom, boom, boom. All right!
Time for our newest segment called Getting Zoned.
All right, David, I'm gonna give you 150 bucks.
Me and you, we're gonna go to AutoZone,
not sponsored by the way.
They didn't give us any money either, but we're going there,
and you're gonna buy the best car parts there that you can,
the most fun ones.
Let's see what we can get.
We're gonna go back to when we were 16 years old
and we walked through the aisle.
You know the aisle I'm talking about.
- Oh, I know that aisle all too well.
- Yeah (laughing)!
All right, let's go.
I gotta put my head on if we're going out in public.
♪ Get in the zone, AutoZone ♪
- All right. We're back, baby and we got the goods.
David broke the budget, which was against the rules
but let's take a peek at what you got.
We spent 160, by the way, if you're wondering,
if you wanted to pick up similar items,
hopefully you don't.
Let's start off with that.
- Get it at the store now for a special offer.
- [Host] That's like-
- Of this arrest me gold windshield wiper.
- I feel like that's what Kim Kardashian would put on her
like Rolls Royce or something.
That thing's nice. That's luxury.
- The packaging is spectacular.
- [Host] (laughs) That's honestly probably one of the nicest
parts about it, is the packaging.
- It's probably higher quality than the wiper.
- Okay, well try to keep this clean a little bit, all right?
I don't want to get it all messy.
My desk is kind of sticky and I think that was your fault.
- Well, we have a couple of adapters.
Great. - Okay.
- Great, and then-
- We can put these on anything.
- Oh look, it didn't come in pairs.
(men laughing)
- Well, okay.
You know how some people have like one gold tooth?
You gonna have one gold wiper.
- Will it snap? Who knows?
- [Host] Try it. Let's give it a go.
Just don't hurt yourself.
Dude. (wiper cracks)
- [Together] Oh!
- No! - Wait, no.
I think it, oh wait.
No? Okay, all right.
- I was about to say we could use it as like a fishing pole
'cause it was doing good, but then you ruined it, so.
- [David] Ah.
- The AutoZone employee said they couldn't keep 'em
on the shelves and they were flying off.
- He wasn't joking!
Are you kidding?
- [Host] (laughing) Why? Why?
- [David] How were you raised to think this is a good idea?
- What is it even? What's on it, like tattoos?
- It has, okay.
It has like a woman doing her makeup
and to be super artsy, it's select color with only this,
'cause it just represents emotion, right?
- [Host] That's beautiful.
- And then there's, I didn't even notice this.
This random skull dude wearing a wife beater.
(both laughing)
And a D, I don't know what this means.
And wearing aviators. Okay?
- [Host] That's sick.
- So then he's like, "It tells a story."
It's like, remember those popup books as kids?
Just buy this. It's all you need.
All I had to do is go like this and go,
"Wow look at all the mistakes I made purchasing this thing."
- All right, what else we got?
- We have a classic move over sticker
but it's not backwards.
So it doesn't work anyway.
- So if someone looked in the rear view,
you'd be screwed-
- (mumbles) Over.
Like, they'd be like, "Who knows?"
(Host mimicking speaking foreign language)
- [Host] But they put a GTR on the thing.
- [David] Yeah, it had-
- [Host] R35 owners are using those.
- Yeah. It was a Debadge R35, so they don't get sued.
- Yeah (laughing). - It's literally-
- You should try to apply it on my desk.
- That's not gonna work.
- Come on.
- But not Goodwill. (both laughing)
All these years of filming cars and this is what I'm doing.
- You've peaked. This is it, baby.
This is showbiz. Here we go.
All right. You know what you're doing?
You've installed these before, right?
- No, never. (Host laughing)
Man, I just wanna say welcome
to That Dude In Blue's Wrap Shop.
We actually do an expert job of not caring whatsoever.
And here we go. You ready?
Oh, look, it actually got an upgrade
'cause now you have a double Decker sticker.
There we go.
- [Host] Have you ever taken a double Decker?
- No. Here we go. (Host laughing)
Check that out. Move over there.
- That's perfect.
You did a lot better job
than what I thought you were gonna do.
- You know what? Man, what have I done?
But if that sticker doesn't get you going,
I just stepped on the rest of the product.
(men laughing)
- How about some wolves?
- [Host] Oh, that's sick. The dream catcher wolves.
Turn it around.
- The dream catcher wolves.
- Yes! I used to have wolf shirts back in the day.
They were pretty sick. It reminds me of that.
- Yeah. Did you ask your prom date with it?
- Yeah, uh huh..
- Beautiful artwork, just so inspiring.
Oh there's, we got a two for one deal.
Man, what a value.
- That was value. I don't know how much it was though.
(quirky horn music)
- So here we have the classic fake fender vents.
- Those are sick.
- This was a highly contested debate-
- My Supra has those. - On which ones to buy.
And I actually see more people buy these for real
than probably anything else in that aisle.
- You're absolutely right, but it's-
- I'm looking at you Chrysler 300 owners.
- I mean Toyota Supra owners,
we got more fake vents than is in that package.
- I should have gotten these to cool
my 2JZ before it blew up.
Oh no, this says six.
- Oh, it did come with six? - Yeah. It did.
- I thought it came with three.
- [David] Me too.
- Well, it's gotta come for three with each side.
That makes sense. An odd number wouldn't work.
- With that aisle, do you really expect any less?
- No, they did give us one windshield wiper.
Well normally they're different links.
- I know, but yeah, it just made it even better.
But basically-
- One gold tooth. These are sick.
These I'm literally gonna put on the desk.
(packaging ruffling)
- Okay. I think we're good.
Man, it's a real-
- Real tree. - Tree.
- No, these are real trees (laughing).
- Are they though?
- No (laughing). - That's what I thought.
Yeah, come by for your stylish needs of your car.
- I feel like I could get with my cousin.
(chipper banjo music)
All right. Well that's all we got.
So thanks to That Dude In Blue for coming out to the show,

You ruined my hood scoop.
- I didn't ruin anything.
- You put Capri Sun all over it!
- It made it better.
- All right.
(upbeat jazz music)
That's my line.
That's my, that's what I do.
Okay. Okay.
- Wait, should I just be that bro that does this.
- No, you're That Dude.
That's kinda simple-
(indistinct chatter)
You want the seat cover?
(both laughing)
All right. I got shit to do.
(David laughing)
