Agreed 100%
You guys just got my next part purchase.
Why is the Wrecker's Color Washed in this Video ?!
WOW what a crossover!! My legit 2 favorite automotive youtubers together!! This is epic id love to see these 2 work together!!
Totally agree. My two favs. Really cool to hear Derick speaking meaningful sentences and NOT using sparkalator language. Well thought out questions for Matt, and then Matts always honest and heartfelt answers. It's nice getting background info. biggest of thumbs up. 100 out of 100
Yep, couldn't click on the video quick enough when I seen this. Definitely 2 of my favs.
Yep! But it IS a bit stilted, like they are from two different scenes. Matt is like your Dad - giving advice, helping out, showing off, but always with that reserve that Dads have (maybe in case of misguiding or hurting their kids in some way?). Derek is your whako brother! Always trying something new and a bit dangerous. If ever you find yourself doing this a bit risky, Derek's your brother.
Same here! I have following Matt since he had less than 50K followers. Just found Kevin and hav been binging. Love both these guys.
Ya, this needed to happen. Wish Derek was in the Off Road Games. Awesome to see these two together.
If Derek did ANYTHING else on top of whatever he does now, his fans would revolt!! Seriously, I see a lot of bitching and moaning when he strays from revivals.
To battied other obligations Cosette would have been a hoot him and a couple other the characters that are gonna be there would be fun to watch.
@@73xlhReal fans just wanna watch Derek be Derek.
@@austin3171 pretty much what I said
Likely that they would need to schedule it a couple of years in advance....
No Way, my favorite youtubers sitting at the same table! I'm glad Derek considered the Off-Road Games, because it would have been so fun so see him there!
These two need to do a collaboration. It would make the world a better place.
Definitely
On what? They do different things, work in different niches. Forced KZhead "collaborations" are tedious and produce the highest level of cringe known to man.
For sure x1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
An episode of Road Worthy Rescues on a Corvair.
This could be the, what ya get.
You know what’s crazy! These two are just so calm talking. Just like two friends having a conversation
Whatever happened to the Day with Derek Contest winner 🏆 and Matt’s AAA fraud case?
@@RustyZipper all that information is on the old intweb. Your just one of them people ant ya
@@user-ov9rj6ze7v - I’ve yet to see the video where Derek went and worked on the winner’s car as promised. And Matt’s ordeal slipped under a rug…
@RustyZipper AAA case settled out of court for a low amount. God forbid someone try to help someone get over on a insurance company to help someone out! 😊
I hope this series never ends. Us regular fellas really enjoy this content from our favorite creators! Thank you Derek and O'reilly Auto Parts!
I like how a lot of the biggest youtube success stories are led by ordinary, honest, hard-working, friendly people who you'd actually want to hang out and have a pop with. It's what has made this medium so successful and plucked people from obscurity into the mainstream conscience in such a positive way. I have no desire to spend time around actors, athletes or tech billionaires, but I'd love to tear down an engine with either of these guys.
The lack of pretentiousness is refreshing.
Watching regular TV with the fake people and 2nd grade story writing, along with 1/3 of the time spent watching a commercial is completely unbearable after watching real people like this.
Whatever happened to the Day with Derek Contest winner 🏆 and Matt’s AAA fraud case?
I can't believe I'm seeing this! This is what I've been wanting. VGG fan for 4 years, just found Matt the very end of last year. I'd love to see a build collab between these two! Maybe the gambler build that Matt's been hinting at picked out of rusty acers?!?!?!?
Agreed 100%
Have Matt build Derek's Corvair on VGG!
That would be awesome!! Can You imagine the laughs one would get between both of them building something together!!!
I would like to see the same thing too, but these two guys are probably too busy😅
Whatever happened to the Day with Derek Contest winner 🏆 and Matt’s AAA fraud case?
Two of my favorite guys on KZhead. You should do a Corvair revival together!
Whatever happened to the Day with Derek Contest winner 🏆 and Matt’s AAA fraud case?
I can't believe it, but I guess I have to, I'm looking right at it.
Wait, 40 minutes already over? Wow, I could hear Derek and Matt ramble about stuff forever, they are clearly on the same wavelength. 😎😎🤘🤘
In the Aisles just keeps getting better and better!
Two of the best together. Both real and down to earth, what a great combination.
MATTMAN in the spotlight and shining bright with the OL' Derek on the big stage, WHATTA COUNTRY! ❤🎉
AWESOMENESS 🙌🏻 We got the pleasure of meeting Matt and the crew two years ago at Jeep Invasion in Pigeon Forge!! Derek & Matt are a great combination!! One day we’ll meet Derek and his crew!!
Derek and Matt are the Perfect combo!
Golden nugget. Was definitely a favourite of mine. From the recovery to the complete rebuild. Then the reveal. Soo many involved. Fab Rats, Robbie and Matt's off road recovery.
Ive been thinking Derek would be a great candidate for the Non 4x4 KZheadr in the Off Road Games....been a VVG fan for years now. Discovered Matt late last year....glued to my screen for every recovery...and here you two are!! Awesome!!!!
Two of my favorite KZhead channels!
"Yep, uh huh, itsyah...two of the BEST automotive-related channel creators on KZhead talking about vehicles, car projects, adventures, family, friends, keepin' it real and having fun! Who doesn't like THAT?!"
Well I’ll be dipped! 2 of my favorites talking shop!
You two guys chatting it up just makes me so happy. Thank you.
Me too!!
I've been a huge fan of both Derek and Matt (and everyone involved with them) for a few years now. I'm really surprised this didn't happen sooner! Bring Derek to the wrecker games!
2 of my absolute favorite car people ever. Great combination of minds
In 1978, I had a pretty radical (by straight 4 cylinder standards) 1974 Ford Pinto. The motor was beefed up, the transmission was tweaked, the rear suspension was modified to allow a set of 16 inch rims and high sidewall mud grabber tires. I once went around a jeep CJ that was stuck in the trail out mud running that car in the river bottoms. Oh, and I put a Jensen Powerplay cassette deck with triaxial speakers that turned it into a concert hall!😃
Great job Derek! Matt is one of four of my absolutely must watch You Tubers along with Vice Grip Garage, Fab Rats and Cold War Motors! High Fives!
Awesome, 2 of my fav you tubers. Followed Derek since he's started and found Matt about 2 yrs ago. Wish Derek was in the off-road games
I love this interview two of my favorite KZheadrs together talking cars 👍👍😎
Yes, Matt, we'd love to see some Corvair build going on. Derek is such a good interviewer. Enjoyed this a whole bunch!
BRUH!!!!!! Two of my to three favorite you tubers in sitting down and chatting!?!?!?! This is awesome and i haven't even started watching it yet!!
I am such a big fan of Matt's channel thru them I found Fab Rat's and so many more recovery related sites....and have become a very big fan of 4 wheel drive vehicles along with trophy truck racing.....and it is just a great place for me to hang out to watch
Definitely two of my favorite channels! Matt you said no mud, but I’m always seeing your stuff covered, unless it’s just really wet sand. 😅
This is going to be absolutely awesome!!! Can’t wait for this episode to drop!!! I knew it was just going to be a matter of time. Thanks for being such great influencers and providing us viewers with such great content. I am very grateful for you guys.
Had me at Corvair. My dad had a 1967, and I REALLY wanted to make it my project car. My brother-in-law 'took it off my dad's hands' to 'rebuild it'. Yea... he sold it a week later for $750. I have never been so cheesed off in my life. Yes, it needed work, but it actually still ran. Never so angry. My neighbor has a 1965 Corvair Convertible. I have been on him for years about it. :) He loves that car, and it is in near mint condition. He is in his late 80s, and said once he can't drive he will offer it up...we shall see.
Two of my favourites together. :)
Seeing these two together was awesome! So much knowledge from experience that can't be taught through books or the classroom. Love both of these guys and always watch their new videos. Keep up the great work fellers!
Thanks Derek. This was without a doubt one of my very favorite interviews that you've done. Keep up the great work sir!!
Derek and Matt in the same video? We need more. Derek, make it happen. Even if a guy has to rent a jeep safari and get stuck.
I love both guys channels! Really great content. It's interesting as their channels are quite different. Derek has mostly gone solo out into the wilds and rescued cars completely on his own, sometimes without even having his own vehicle on site, although lately he has been doing more collaborations with others, like Steve Dulcich. Matt on the other hand, has really built a team of folks of different ages and talent levels, he's really running a training program almost for the younger generation, which I think is awesome. What both have in common is just a genuine niceness and a real commitment to their families, it shows! Thanks to the both of you for doing what you do and bringing us along for the ride!
What a dream come true VGG and Matt talking personal likes and projects! Awesome video!
Two of my favorites.
Just love watching you both!!! Great guys.
this is by far the coolest /best interview of Matt I have seen. enjoying every minute of it!
Awesome Derek. You got Matt. My two favorite channel s.
I love Matt's channel. I normally watch KZhead at 1.5x speed but not Matt. Surprisingly compelling videos and has inspired me to carry straps now in my truck
Derek I really love this in the Aisles series that you are doing with O'Reilly's. Would really love to see you do a show with SLEEPERDUDE who also happens live in Tennessee as well and has a great YT channel.
Loved this, actually my first of the In the aisle series. Great concept and what a great host. Would love to see Sarra-n-tuned as a guest.
My two most favorite KZheadrs in a one-on-one interview! This was great! Thanks for the content. Enjoyed the video.
Fanfreakintastic Episode!!!! Great Work Fellers! Keep On Truckin & We’ll Keep On A Watchin! Big Thanks & Much Applause! 👏
Love Matt's Offroad Recovery
We love Matt and his crew!❤
YESSSSS!!! These are my absolute two favorite channels to watch. These two channels are my go-to, and I'm so glad to see them get to meet and have some enjoyable conversation. MAYBE, just maybe a giant collab build for the off-road rollback. Matt, and Paul from FabRats can fabricate the body/chasis, Tony from Stay Tuned and Derek can build the engine, and Robby Layton can do paint and body, and it all can be done in a 'Monster Garage' type setting (like VGG did I think last year). It would be epic and legit. Just sayin.
I have waited so long for these two guys! I could watch them all day long! Matt and Derek, it’s about time!
Derek definitely getting better at interviewing feeling more like a conversation with friends
The 2 coolest guys on KZhead. Finally come together for us. Thank you, what we've all wanted.
Corvair drinking game, 22 minutes in …I’m full 😎
I’m glad that Derek kept his KZhead channel after going to MT. MT is going down like a sinking ship.
I’ve waited for this for so long. I hope this brings more . I love both of these guys
This is one of my Favorite Episodes of In the Aisles for sure!! Nice job Y'all!!
Mine as well.
This is awesome! My two favorite KZhead channel worlds collide! Thank you! Great video!
I’ll be Dipped! No Way!!! There is a Ton of Talent Setting around that Table.
Finally got time to watch this now and already loving it. These two guys are probly my favorite people on KZhead. They’re just generous, kind hearted fellas that are so enjoyable to watch because they’re so authentic and you can tell that they are always being genuine to themselves and not faking their personality for views.
You forgot to ask what his favorite aisle is at O’reilys. Maybe the gas jug aisle. 3-4 yrs ago never would have imagined these two channels would cross paths. Derek the diesel scout needs to go to southern Utah and Moab. Epic trip with the boys.
I see from the comments that I'm not the only one smiling. Im an early genx guy (1965) and I didn't get into watching you tube til a couple years ago. I actually found Matt's channel first,I live in the Mojave,love offroading and Matt came on my radar first. Then along came Derek. Now this show is just too too cool! 😎
im so glad to see matt in the aisles with derek
This show is awkward. Even with Jessica as his adversary. That means it is authentic and worth seeing.
Same thing with Me. Soon as I saw title, A BIG smile came on My face.
I'm happy to see you guys get together I think you can have a lot of fun mixing your content. I know Derek would love the rock climbing.
Wish I had the money to chase down a Corvair dream. Hope I can soon. I want these two to be involved in this. Maybe it’ll be an episode. I can dream, can’t I? Lol. Thank all of you for sharing your lives with mine!!
I follow many and these two are my favorites, love this interview!!! You two need to do some content together, maybe Derek in the Morvair at the Offroad Games!!!
2 of my favorite KZheadrs in one video ! This needs to happen more.
Derek and Matt! 😍😍😍
I think I like this concept. Derek, you're very good at asking leading questions.
Wow! 2 living legends shootin' the breeze. Very cool interview.
I love both of these guys, seeing them sitting down together was a great surprise.
Wish he had done a quick interview with Fab Rats and Merlins Old School Garage when they were in town.
VGG and MORR are a match made in heaven! Don't know how Derek finds the time but he seems to be able to meet with or work with all my favorite off road fab shops on youtube.
Can’t wait for this episode!!
Two of the absolute best right here. Please keep doing what you are doing!
Two of my favorites on KZhead. Thanks Matt and Derek. Love to see you two work a project together.
Two of my favorite youtubers! Always enjoy your shows, keep it up 😊
Matt says we are expecting “MORR” people. ❤
Great to see both my favorite KZhead channel personalities talking about these things together. ;-)
The way me and my dad use to load our 4wheeler in the back of the truck was just finding the closest hillside. Preferably with a ditch.
I'm really surprised and pleased to hear that Matt's experience of growing up with cars is pretty similar to mine. He really cut his mechanical teeth on his first Corvair, and so did I ('71 Corolla). I also had lots of mechanical "toys" to play with around my parent's property (old mowers, electronics), and ended up stumbling into a full restoration of my dad's old '38 Chevrolet 3/4 ton pickup. And on and on...great interview!
What a way to spend my morning. My husband got me watching both of you. And we usually do so together when hes home. But being a truck driver, he's home a few days . So we usually spend time with you guys fab rats and Trailmater and Robby layton. What a fun weekend. Hes also a fan of diesel creek. So i guess im a fellerette!! Lol⁸
Derek is such an affable human - I always look forward to these.
Thanks for a great convo with Matt. I know about O'Reilly's because of Matt's channel, by the way. Matt is a very different person when he's not in his shop or on a recovery and it was nice to get to know him a bit here without the "persona" he portrays in his videos.
I'm sorry Derek, but you used to be my very favorite KZhead channel. But since I found Matt's off road recovery. It has got it all projects, off roading comedy ,recovery. It is the best. And I've pretty much watched all the automotive stuff. He's heads up the best
Have you seen Rory’s? Trail mater.
Happy to hear Matt mention Paul, I was afraid they had parted ways.
I was really hoping Derek would be in the wrecker games
Derek, your Corvair is a 1962 Monza coupe! That was one of my favourite episodes!
Great video, what a couple of legends. My dad did the same thing as Derek when I was a little kid and the brakes on our 1926 Buick were nearly on fire 😂
My two favourite KZheadrs having a chat! Fantastic
Great interview!!......Vice Grip guy and Matt needs to work together in the future!!.......Great chemistry!!
I agree with Matt saying that recovery is a dangerous job. I've watched some nail biting episodes. Cliff hangers, no brakes. That airplane recovery is up there. Now Matt is going to cause Corvair prices to go up where i can't afford a rusty one.
I'm glad to know these guys know each other I always wanted to know if they know each ,how awesome is this two KZhead icons together
Oh wow, can't wait!!!!
same
This will be awesome!
We love both vgg and Matt's off road they are so awesome ❤🎉
Very cool interview, Thanks to the both of you for taking the time to do this. I love both of your channels.
VGG!! Thanks guys!
Derek is the Steve Irwin of the automotive world. Love the guy.
