Y’all are a bright light in a dark world and I’m so glad to have discovered your channel and tv show. It’s one of the highlights of my week. You’re only a short drive from my house so I hope to get over there to meet you one of these days. Keep up the great work bud!

  • Watching you interact with Jessica, allowing her to talk without interruption speaks volumes about the respect you have for her and is just one more reason I continue to watch your channel. And we can't forget funny - you are definitely funny (the beginning, "already in a vapor lock?" hahhah). I'd wish you best of luck but I don't think you need any. You've got the formula. Success is yours. Rock on.

I was subbed long before you became big but somehow I knew you were going to shoot off and be able to have a career out of it. By far my favorite channel and family to watch on KZhead. Can't wait to see more from Jessica, little grip garage and maybe from Bradley if he makes a channel for his rockets or whatever he wants to do. I'm disabled and can't support financially but by golly I will watch every video with ads because you guys deserve it. Thank you guys for your dedication and for the content and genuinely hope you guys are making content for a long time. Or at least till Derek gets his hand stuck in a muffler trying to change a battery.

Tonya Harding was her chief rival, and surprisingly came from a trailer trash background. Tonya’s husband Jeff Gilooly and maybe another guy and most likely Tonya conspired to physically “take Nancy out” of the competition by attacking her during a practice or preliminary session. The method? Dude hit her in the knee with a small sledgehammer! This was the biggest news story in the world at the time. And in the US it was in the news for months.

I really love your interaction and because I've never had the car I wanted I enjoy watching you work on some of the ones that I would have loved to have. And it makes it even better that you're such a good family man. Keep up all the good work. And I definitely will be buying some of your merch.

  • Congrats on a well thought out decision. Centralization, weather, no state income tax, relatively cheap acreage, lower cost of living and an anticipated reduction in work hours sounds like a winning combination for the family life. Be careful on the last one- it takes a change in mindset to reduce the number of hours devoted to the work thing. If a guy doesn’t prioritize the family hours, there is always more work to just suck up the time! Derek, the last sentence was me using some of your words to explain what I did way too much of while my kids were growing up. We don’t get that time back to try again.

  • I’m retired here in Minnesota. I’ve lived here all my life. I’ll be 72 years old in June. Every Winter for the last several years I’ve spent months in isolation within the walls of this house. It usually starts toward the end of November and ends around the second week in May. I’m not married however I have one son that lives 1/4 mile away. I get to see him often. My daughter lives in Coon Rapids. When I was younger I chose factory jobs to avoid working in the cold. However I would spend time off in the winter snowmobiling, skiing, ice skating and ice fishing. Now my disabilities don’t allow for those things. I’d love to go out to the garage and work on my old Chevy, but it’s such a small dark uninviting place to be in the Winter that I avoid it. My dream, before I pass on to the great junkyard in the sky would be to walk outside sometime during the month of February in a t-shirt and jeans and my new balance shoes and feel free from the heavy coat, gloves, felt lined boots, stocking cap, insulated bib overalls, wool socks and long Jon’s. God bless the Bieris and May they live long and prosper in all they do!

I was living in Upstate NY at the time, and the cost of living was even more than WI and the weather was about the same. With the better cost of living, weather, centrally located for doing my business, TN looked very nice to move to. I keep thinking about moving back to WI for family, but then I look at the cost and snow and remember why I'm in TN. So, no, I am not surprised at all. Welcome to TN!
