I’m assuming since they’ve mentioned James zero times and the fact that James himself hasn’t talked about the issue (he hinted that he would on insta about a week ago, but that post was quickly deleted), that there is some legal issue stopping them. Hopefully wrong, but I can’t think of any other reason that neither donut, nor James wouldn’t have spoken up by now.

Some shows can be too expensive/difficult to produce etc. Channels have to make decisions to cut stuff all the time. It's not just "old" stuff that brings people in. They can't only care about the OG fans if they want to grow, which they have to since they're a company. Number must go up.

The way I see it, once the podcast gained success they probably decided they could make even more money since they wouldn't have to do anywhere near the of amount editing required for up-to-speed, and could honestly just use less resources to make automotive history content since the most demanding part would only be research at that point which sucks for people like us who loved it. Personally my favorite content from Dount is Up-To-Speed, and my belief that they phased it out in favor of the podcast led me to not even bother with it. In the end they probably don't make most of the series we liked for the same reason: they wanted less effort and more money

His contract ended and he is either working on a new channel or exploring other avenues. Hopefully one where he is not contractually obliged to endorse gambling agencies. The new company directors are blooding younger presenters in the hope that broccoli cuts or whatever will help expand their reach. That's their strategy, and if it works - it was the sensible call. Broccoli cuts help the algorithm.

@@Carvania I don't know if you keep up with the news, but no-compete clauses were just discounted by law, even in retrospect, like a month ago. Funnily enough, around the same time he disappeared... James does carry a lot of the clout that Donut had. Even to the extent that a lot of viewers thought he 'owned' the channel. It was originally owned by Paramount, and they sold it to the equity firm. Jer and Jobe just got a million subricibers and counting off their first video. James could do the same on his own.

They've been nothing but honest, positive, and goal oriented in their pursuits. Why do people require drama when there is none? Life goes on folks. It's better to focus on what's ahead and best for everyone.

Just enjoy the channel and be happy that big time gives us that much more cars /motorsports KZfaq content to view.

I’ll say the things I miss most about donut: Longer videos that were fun to watch but also informational. Wheelhouse, up to speed, b2b, money pit, hi/low, all these series are what brought me to donuts in the first place. I remember watching an up to speed video clip on Facebook and was instantly hooked by James. Found them on KZfaq and fell in love, but over the past few years, sits gone from quirky creators to any other content creator…not to bash y’all or anything, I realize you have to move with the times, but over the last 2 years, it’s become so apparent. Like when McDonald’s went from their classic 90s/00s look, to their current modern, lifeless adult one. Jobe and jer, were great additions to the channel. I personally love jer cause he’s just unapologetically himself and he’s always laughing and joking, but he’s super smart as well. And jobe has a lot of know how, but manages to explain it in layman’s terms without being condescending about it. And James, he’s just so energetic and full of life, and he’s not even here or hasn’t been mentioned. So what’s really going on over at donut?

Ok, Donut gang… I just did a deep dive and uncovered clues to what happened to James… By the look of things, James is no longer with Donut. The last show he did was Past Gas #239 which aired on May 27th. His last Big Three episode was #10 which aired on May 8th. The next two episodes of the Big Three clued you in, that he was still with company #11 & #12. Which both aired before Past Gas episode #239. Episode #13 of the Big Three which aired on June 5th, is when everything changed. The Big Three had a mural on the wall featuring the faces of James Nolan and Joe. Episode #13 removed the mural and replaced it with a big cheesy sign; “The Big Three”. This episode was hiding in plain sight, revealing that James had been let go, unknowing to us all. Donut had a good run, but erasing pillars of your company from in front of our face without using that blinking light mind eraser from Men in Black is nothing short of bush league, to put it lightly.

People arent rumoring that some corporate entity isn't letting you be creative. The community is TELLING you that the content you are making has fallen off and that they do not feel like you are creating high effort, creative, content. Refusing to listen to the community, arguing that we're wrong and you're actually making good content and dropping the actually good shows is what got you in this situation in the first place.

Well it’s clear donut peaked before the acquisition, and now its on a steady decline.

Huge respect for these guys! Must’ve been tough to be forced to tape this. Jokes aside really enjoy donut and obviously a ton of effort and dedication goes on for all their content! Hopefully we get more Baja content!

Guys, if they admitted that James has been gone for months their value would fall like a stone. He's been fulfilling his contracts, and if it's not about him he's out.

I don't know if anyone else has put it together, but I can't be the only one. James+energy drink sponsor+heart attack=NDA.....he probably got a fat stack, just can't say anything about it.

I appreciate you guys being transparent as best as you can in the corporate world. I’ve watched you guys for so long that it does hurt to see change. I wish the best for you guys, I love where Nolan is now from when he was first introduced (talk about character growth!). Good luck to you guys, and let us know James is okay. We need an up to speed video on our boi. Mo Powa Babeh! Lightning ⚡️ lightning ⚡️ lightning ⚡️

It's possible they are just holding out for James to make a statement himself, just hope it wasn't a medical thing for him. Poor dude already had one heart attack.

We know you guys are working your asses off to make cool content and no-one wants to see the channel "fail". It's good to hear you guys take the feedback to heart and that discussions take place in the Donut HQ about this stuff. That said, it's clear what the core audience likes to see the most based off the response to Jobe and Jerry's new channel - personality lead enthusiast content for the current generation of car guys and gals. The big production stuff is cool and impressive, but I think at the end of the day we all would enjoy just watching you guys all goof around turning wrenches on your own projects as much. Luckily the KZfaqs is big enough for both.

A successful start up, bought out, and the new owners start losing what made it successful to start with. I hope Donut does well, but I also kinda hope all the boys start over like Big Time did. We love KZfaq auto content not because of the production cost.
