I wasn't upset at all, just confused, lol. No need to apologize at all. Nice to meet you

We've all been on both sides of that fence fellas. Can you imagine the stuff running around in his brain now , O'Reilly stuff , roadworthy,vgg,vgl, little grip mix in being away from home and responsibility of 2 vehicles enduring that torture. I hate leaving home this guy is seldom home. Long live VGG

VVG is incredible. I am so happy I found that channel. I'm almost 100% you tube content. Tv just doesn't cut it any more. It isbgreat to watch people like minded with an audience that is equally like minded. Great job.

Big of you to make this video. Shows your (good) character! Stay safe, keep building!

I can respect you for posting the apology to Derick. I’m sure he won’t hold it against you. Just seems like that kind of guy.

You got my respect sir for this video. Derek is a super busy content creator and probably has everyone and anyone walking up to him constantly. So the fact that you can admit in your video you probably caught him at the wrong time gets my respect. Sub for that sir.

Most people start out with a good morning out of respect, and introduce yourself. He is not public property.

I have akward moments like that too. Totally get it.

Let's call a spade a space... this is just click bait to get people watching your video, which worked on me. If you're really sincere about the apology take the video of your awkward interaction with Derek off youtube. You said what you had to say, he acknowledged and said it was no big deal so you can both move on without using his face to drive people to your video.

I think that when we watch channels on KZfaq or shows on TV we subconsciously form a kind of relationship with the presenters and feel like we know them or believe that they are the the character that they adopt for their work all of the time. I love what Derrick does and feel like he is a pretty genuine feller, but it must be difficult to always react full on with someone you've never met before and don't have an existing rapport with. We can all usually understand a subtext or 'in joke' from a friend or loved one but it's tricky judging it from a stranger. I believe it's best to keep these type of 'real life' interactions simple: "love your show" or "enjoy your work" is positive and respectful and doesn't need a reply. The famous must have heard their catch phrases repeated back to them by wise-guys who think they are the first person to have ever thought of it, or the same questions, thousands of times..

I was showing my '68 Mini at Balboa one day and saw Mike Brewer from Wheeler Dealers. I walked over to meet him as I like his show. He was talking with another guy, so I just walked back to my Mini. After a few minutes Mike walked over and started a conversation with me! I'm glad I didn't interrupt him. I would not have had anything meaningful to say. When he came over to me and saw my Mini, we had something to talk about.

Derek Bieri is a class act ❤️🇺🇸❤️

Regardless of the comments, I can appreciate your humility amd honesty for sure. Wierd how nobody else seems to catch that and decided to just be a dick in the comments. It's not easy to put your life out there for everyone else to see and most likely those hateful Comme ters really don't understand that. You seem to be a stand up guy and I hope your youtube journey is successful!

Spent several hours at his pit at Valdosta Sick Week 2023. He was great to interact with and didn’t seem to mind us being there. He even commented on my video of that day.

😂😂😂 Sean your sense of humor Is well known for us that know you. I think he was just kind of caught off guard what you said lol. And I'm sure it was a busy ass time because of the drive and everything. And man has it been a long ass time since I've seen you. We still up here in dayton. Well im in carlisle. Lol

Much respect to you…not that it should mean anything coming from a stranger in the KZfaq world but wanted to acknowledge the very public apology of admitting when we maybe didn’t present ourselves in the best light…We need more of this in our world! ✊

A fan of this guy,his channels,very down to earth, good down to earth people there,need to get to the states from Australia 🇦🇺 😀 😄 and heck, have a good time cheers guys 😊

Seemed like a pretty standard interaction to me. Not every joke will land perfectly the way you wanted. I dont see the need to apologize for anything.

I enjoy and support Vice Grip Garage, Derek seems to be a really good guy. If he can't start it no one can.

I'm surprised he let you walk away. He's a thoroughly dangerous man.😅

Derek is a reserved and laid back Fella in general by nature it seems by seeing his interaction on other KZfaq videos he has collaborated on... but yeah definitely not the ideal way to engage someone you haven't met or know in a conversation 😆

the only reason I clicked your lame video was because Vice Grip was mentioned, sorry for the support

We watch people like Derek so much it feels like we know them and they are our friends, so when we meet them for the first time it like a good ol buddy to us but it’s a stranger to them. Kind like if you went to the gas station and some random person walked up to you and said, What’s up you ugly SOB! If it was a good friend you would laugh and call him a jackass. But you would want to punch the stranger! lol Good apology, keep making vids.

Dude the joke was good. No need to apologize. That was funny. The look on his face.

Respect to you for the apology to Derek. Takes a big man to realize he may have been in the wrong. You may have had a similar reaction if a stranger walks up to you and immediately cuts your ride down. We all make jokes that bomb. lol You should try to see him again in person, he's probably a really decent fellow.

Derek @ViceGripGarage sure seems like an awesome feller!! Funny too!

Yes because that motion raceworks truck absolutely gets down 👇 Derek's got so many things going on all the time im sure he has to plan 5 steps ahead at all times, maybe 20 who knows but seems like nice enough feller with some awesome toys i believe the truck could turn 8's if he had Lil time to spend tuning 💯 ✌️

I didn't see any reason to publicly apologize other than getting views off a fella's popularity. He didn't look mad at all.

I think when we watch so many videos of a content maker, we feel we know them personally. In reality we don't know them at all. And they don't know us. So we expect them to be how we think they will be towards us. That's why they say never meet your heroes.

I'm sure he understood your Yankee sense of humor 😂😉😂😉

So you walk upto a guy you only know from youtube, (who is talking to other people ) you interupt with a lame joke and what did you expect derick to do ,role around laughing ?and its not about him having a bad day its about using manner's,i think you learnt a lesson .

Not everybody can do what Derrick and his family does every week 365 days a year. We've all been preoccupied and busy when someone asks or does something kinda off, and we would normally laugh and return the joke, but instead were kinda annoyed. Don't sweat the small stuff. Good to post a public apology even if only a few people witnessed it, instead of an e-mail or phone message

Hey I just wanted to say I like VGG he has my respect and he has a great family just as nice as they can be 👍

haha He’ll be alright ;) you’ll get a like and sub 👍 Don’t be breaking your head for a feller; he’s livin the dream. And a day driving with that rumble will take a toll on one’s social skills haha He wasn’t ready for ya!

I agree sometimes we're not in the best mood for a joke, heck sometimes we won't even realize it's a joke. Funny I was just thinking about what happened to me with my friend and his uncle. My friend and him could not get his 82' chevy truck started. I said "it's a good truck only thing is, it doesn't work " it was met with silence.... i didn't say another word

Gotta be honest with you, to me it just looks like a guy with 3k subscribers attempting to use Derek's name in a video title for clicks and subs. No other reason to post it.

i know the feelin bud, i have a very blunt sence of humor myself an an over do it at times

VGG truly is a class act. Imagine you’re in conversation with someone and someone (you) rudely walks up and interrupts. You’re spot on though, and I humbly make my comment.

I'm just here for the comments Seems like all the people that are commenting are telling you exactly what Already explained lol😂 That's why you're making a apology Good or bad reaction is good for the channel so all good Keep up the good work 👍

yeah you caused a problem for me too man. the whole 25 dollars for an autograph rumor... what a shame.. Derek is a great guy.!!!!

That is the prize of being a celebrity ... I also always meet guys like you .. When I am driving around in Arnold The Musthavestang !

Inserting yourself into the middle of a conversation will get you that.

Just think He didnt get the joke fast enough, he was prolly tired

I don’t think that your joke was that bad, after all we all know that it is a 1000 h.p truck and that of course it beats the 14’s range. Unless you were intentionally being facetious, but I didn’t take it that way. It wasn’t that egregious. Dericks a good guy, I am sure that he got over it really quickly.

Nope… saying 14s came off as “trolling”. Imagine how many people he has to deal with trolling him like that daily.

Derek is old school he definitely can handle getting flipped some shit. You didn’t do anything wrong maybe just little quick on it for the first line 😂

Nothing to be sorry about man. Sometimes once people get a little internet attention they can let their ego get a little wild. Easy to tell you were just kidding.

Yeah, those moments where it works in the head but not in reality is rough. Ol' hoof-in-mouth hurts.

That would explain your 3300 subs and Derek's almost 2,000,000

No Comment’s - Good Video 👍 ….. Thank’s ….. P.s. Hi👋 from Chertanovo Chopper’s Custom Club ….. Moscow City 🌆 ….. Russia 🇷🇺 …..

what i think is cool about the KZfaq community with car guys. We watch the videos that any guy puts out and feel as we are involved. So when we see so called "famous" KZfaqrs in the wild. It makes the everyday guy feel like we can just come and talk with y'all. Especially car guys. In my opinion we as we are the everyday guy. We kind of forget that this is a everyday thing for a guy like Derrick and since they are not on tv we dont think of them being famous or have a million plus subscribers. We just want to talk cars. But when out in the wild and you stop for every person to talk with. It would be hours sitting in one spot. When life is waiting down the road. An when everyone knows your name but they dont know yours in return. I would imagine it would be a little unsettling. Especially when theres been people to Derricks private house to get a piece of car or whatever else. That becomes a issue in my eyes and a danger to my family. Which i wouldnt hesitate to have a bird shot to someones ass. I give Derrick high regards for a response to you. Thats the type of person i would imagine him to be. Yet, i dont know jack about him. Thats the confusion with the outside world and KZfaq creators. It was courteous of you to say something about the interaction. Ok, ive said my piece. Y'all have a good day now ya hear. 😊

No he can be a jerk, sleeperdude said hi and got snubbed and a nasty look.

i don’t get it. What was the problem….

I love the dude and his show but the last thing I would ever do is just approach him. I apparently look like a certain famous person and let me assure you I get extremely tired of people I dont know approaching me. Saying the saaaaaaaaaaame shit... Every day. Saaaaaaaaaame shit every day. Im sure he hears the saaaaaaaaaaame shit every day.

If i ran into him i would i would make a flabbergasted fool of my self and then not sleep for days wondering what just happened.

I also think that humor is great, but that is not a crowd of viewers that will follow

I see nothing wrong what you said

Seems like are really nice guy.. but I've learned my lesson on meeting public figures.. some nice and some not so nice. Just the kind of day they are having.

My channel is not that big. But I still have people show up to my house and have even found my phone number. It just gets old after awhile having strangers walk up as if they are your closest family member and jam a camera in your face or walk right in your garage and say. I brought my car by can I bug you to fix it. Or they tell you you did your build all wrong. Yep it gets old quickly!

I dunno man, you barge up to him with a lame joke, and now it seems that you're trying to surf off his name for clicks and likes. That's not cool.

I get a bit hwierd when someone it getting video on me. And im not famous. What you said is funny. I wouldn't trip on that.

Derek has thick skin. He can handle a little ribbing.

What a cool opportunity!

looks like easy click bait to me

So basically you learned not to be a douche with people you don't even know.

Nice

that's nothin lol, most of us have done way worse at one point or another

Looks like you used someone else’s fame to draw attention to yourself to me…

As old as you are. You should already know it's not polite to interrupt people when they are having a conversation. There was a better way of doing it go sure. But whatever it is not that big of a deal. In his eyes you are nobody to him anyways so it doesn't matter. He's not going to waste his time explaining it to you. He'll just be polite and let it go. But if it was one of his kids doing that I'm sure he would teach them a lesson on how to approach people when they are in a conversation.

I really don't see anything wrong with you or his reaction lol

U cought him at a bad time,

Well you walked right up to him, cut in and interrupted his conversation to say an insult to a man thats frustrated with the tune on the truck. I'd be a bit avoiding to you too.

Yur better of to just look at the truck breath though yur noise listen if he wants to comment walk away with thumbs up say nothing and don't use a video that's a threat cause he has to watch what he says in public intimidating that's how I see it hope u learn from this

#1

You interrupted him

Dude, nobody cares

It's a lame way to get yourself a handful of extra views. Walk up into his grill and start speaking during a conversation, how rude are you? Then use his name in this fake apology video. You must actually think your clever. Check the subscriber count between you and VGG it kind of tells it's own story.

We've all done this... ha ha. It says a lot about you that you realized it and actually apologized.... It's all good. Hopefully Derek sees this. :))

An apology was definitely needed that was very rude.

There's nothing to be confused about a joke I don't care what type mood there in especially when it comes to there fans.
