    Keep it up…
    Keep up the rants Roman… You’re more right than people give you credit for. All of the TFL guys are worth a listen to. Excellent car information all the way through.
  • Reebok4523
    Do not listen to Tommy!!
    Roman for your own sanity do not listen to Tommy! Your rants are awesome and I love the inside baseball of TFL and how honest you are. It comes through the podcast. I agree with you it’s mind boggling how disconnected TikTok sounds with there interactions with you. Makes zero sense. This is what makes this podcast interesting. Tommy sounds like he listens to boring ho hum podcasts. Go with your gut you are right keep doing what your doing and thank you for letting us into your life and what is going on at the company!
  • Zadman98
    Biased Media
    I’ve been a long time subscriber and watcher of TFL studios. The content has always been the best. Recently, I’ve noticed a trend of “rants” about misinformation and political bias, but the reality is, Roman specifically is politically biased himself. It is the ultimate form of Hypocrisy. They always say if you don’t like it then don’t listen or watch and they have gotten their wish. I just want to enjoy an automotive show about cars. Not personal opinion.
  • wowowke
    STOP!!!
    It’s because morons like you talking about EVs keeps this stupid idea alive. NO ONE WANTS ELECTRIC, they are sitting g on almost every dealership lots around me. They are not selling!!
  • thinkelbottom

    Nathan and his team (😜) always do such a great job with their reviews! I appreciate all the work that goes into them. Keep up the good work

    Simply transcendent. These guys put the car in carcinomatosis. Rants, stories, and lists - they have all!
  • Blueoxbox
    TFL CAR DEBATE. Good info if you self filter
    I enjoy most of the program. I wish they would get to the points a little sooner. Tommy’s opposition and conflicting comments can be a struggle to listen to. It’s annoying when it sounds like a son and Dad bickering rather than a constructive back and forth. If your going to talk about “best car or Truck for …” then give some real input. Not an argument that doesn’t make sense. The arguments are getting worse and less real information is being shared. Guys…make a plan before you start the podcast. Roman is getting more and more out of touch. His arguments may have a good point but I loose interest in his point because he goes on too long. He’s not open to others opinions. His other team members are doing the better reviews.

    Entitlement philosophy
    The local government is not entitled to a persons money. Getting over on greedy local municipalities and their over the top spending is only offensive to big government lefties. God bless people smart enough to not just bend over and take it from idealistic tax and spend children
  • Boomer22770
    Love it
    I enjoy the rants and the father and son disagreements. I like the car reviews and HATE when they talk about trucks, SUVs, Crossovers and off roading. I always skip those podcasts,
  • archive_60
    The EV Love Affair Podcast
    The reason why these people don’t kick back more on this EV thing, and instead fawn over them…is because they don’t understand, most Americans will have to take a bankruptcy attorney with them when they go to buy one…this doesn’t register with people who have access to all kinds of cars as business write-offs and all that goes with it.
  • Bobbo00
    Great shows
    Enjoy these podcasts, love the off topic items mixed into the meat and potatoes, it’s a nice mix. Really enjoying the classics episodes mixed in. Now my cars I want to buy list is getting significantly more difficult to narrow down.
  • Cameronow
    Classics?
    The push of the classics channel ruined this for me, don’t they have their own channel? Also, Romins constant complaints whenever something happens that he doesn’t like should now be the law of the land so he’s not inconvenienced again is terribly small minded and holier than thou. Everyone else is great!
  • dchop43
    Why is it all about Classic Cars now???
    This podcast was way better before they completely switched to tfl classics podcast… I’m not here for classic cars. I’m sad to say I will no longer be listening to this podcast. TFL trucks has stayed true to their roots. Don’t get me wrong, I love Andre & Nathan! Tommy, Nathan & Andre have a great back and forth & overall vibe. whenever it’s Tommy and Roman though , I stop listening & delete the episode immediately. They’re pointless arguing are so cringe worthy & annoying I just delete the episode. & now that TFL car podcast is exclusively about classics, looks like I won’t be listening to what used to be one of my favorite podcasts. If you like nerdy classic car & egg talk, you’ll LOVE this podcast. It’s just not for me.
  • Protonpackin
    5 star review
    Thanks for being awesome! Also love when you go off topic and have some real talk. 5 stars all around
  • # I love cars
    Good content ideas, just stick to content
    I LOVE the topics of the show, but if they could stop telling stories and going off topic, that would make the show better.
  • ☝🏻️❤️❤️
    Ads drive me insane
    Overall a very entertaining show with awesome content. One massive problem, recently they’ve added Ads mid episode. Usually I have no problem with this as they need to make money somehow. However these ads are so abrasive, they are much louder than the regular episode volume which makes them always hurt my ears and startle me. They also have nothing to do with the content of the podcast? Lastly they interrupt the episodes multiple times randomly, there is no “ad break” or warning, just mid sentence interruptions. Very off putting and just make me dread listening as I am just waiting for the next random ear blast multiple times per episode. Please redo/remove these random ads as they have ruined the recent listening experience.
  • magnuswoodsguy
    The negative, know it’s all ‘tude, :(
    This is the first episode I’ve ever listened to and, holy smokes, one guy seems positive, interesting, enthusiastic and, the other guy is possibly the most negative person I’ve ever heard on a podcast. His know it all attitude is unfortunate. There’s so much to learn in the world and for a listener, a ton of negativity just makes me turn it off. For instance, of course celebrity on cars can be worth more money but in this guy’s opinion is absolute and small minded. DeLoreans are the first classic car people always buy? I’d say this is quite debatable. If you were perky and fun and cutting, great. Someone needs an attitude adjustment. Be grateful for what you have.

    Presentation Could Be Improved
    I love the TFL trucks podcast, but this one is kind of hit or miss. Lots of good information, but the Tommy and Roman bickering really takes away from the show. Often the bickering and rants don’t even have anything to do with the topic at hand and they completely derail the show. Lately it has gotten so bad I frequently unplug from the show about halfway through. Again, the TFL trucks podcast is great, but this one could use a presentation change.
  • Gabe Souza
    Love the show!
    But stop bickering about the differences between 2 mpg on Wranglers. People don’t buy Wranglers for fuel economy!
  • Ape-x
    Constant arguments
    Constant arguments and bad audio levels overwhelm what would otherwise be an interesting podcast. Roman should consider leaving the on-microphone work to the others on the team.
  • Twc2345
    Ep. 122
    Why keep talking about EV's? Right now it looks good, but when those batteries dies let's see how we are going to recycle them. Also, if crash, EV car might go up in flames more easily.
  • Joelmarc848
    5 stars but
    I got into TFL during Covid and appreciated specifically Andre and Roman making the best of what they could on the new podcast. I still think Roman and Tommy are fantastic. I really enjoy how Nathan moves effortlessly from Trucks with Andre to Cars with Tommy. The only downside is I think Roman has lost his way. I don’t know if he is playing a “grumpy old man” character because he’s trying to reach a specific age group or prepper demographic but at this point I can’t even make it through episodes where he is featured. Tommy seems to do his best to keep him on the rails but you can see that it’s mostly hopeless. The strange thing is, when Roman does the video reviews or features with the other guys he is a totally different person. I give the TFL station 5 stars for everything they do except for the TFL Talk’s with Roman. If the same Roman who does the videos started showing up for the podcast then it would be 5 stars across the board.
  • Kubota10
    Need to make changes
    Used to look forward to it, lately it’s unlistenable. Roman, sorry, but it’s time to sit back and just write the checks. Your rants end up sidelining the show, rarely have anything to do with the topics, and do nothing but turn it into an uncomfortable quarrel between you and Tommy. Can’t imagine what family dinners are like🫣. Yeesh
  • paul pooroe
    Like it.
    It’s good.
  • joshelliot
    Please let your guest talk…
    I enjoy the show and the YouTube channel but I’ve noticed Roman seemingly ignoring the guest while he decides his next sentence… ok, I get that, some people are like that, but at least let the guest finish his sentence before you ignore and redirect the conversation. In the latest episode with James Buff he does this ignore and switch like 20 times… please Roman, be considerate of your guest and listeners… you’re going to lose subscribers as they get annoyed with the interruptions. Also - James, I have a couple of those coolers you are looking for, both are Lunar Rock. Hit me up, make me an offer on one :)
  • mdoterrly
    Let tommy take over
    Just let Tommy and Andre take over the podcast. Better yet every piece of media. They actually use their opened minds to give un-biased info to people. I’m sure they don’t think “spinniz” “not being the hood” are professional things to say.
  • CortezMJR
    Amazing Insights Into Car News
    Tommy, Roman and the gang do an awesome job talking about everything from industry news to their own experiences and reviews. Their banter is entertaining even for someone with limited knowledge of the automotive industry. Can’t say enough good things about this show!
  • Canejo46
    Could a Great Car Show Enough of the Father Son Bickering
    You guys have a great concept but blowing it with the constant confrontations between father and son. If you had a call in segment most of the comments would be “take it outside and turn the microphones off and come back when you both grow up.” I will listen again in a couple of months to see if you can get your act together.
  • Brenda1115
    Good show less arguing
    I have been watching the show on YouTube for a few years. Just found the podcast recently. I like all the host except when daddy and son are together. The arguing can get annoying. This is a car show not fox “ news” .
  • JackWagen2.0
    Good info, but irritating.
    I appreciate the information in this podcast, but maybe it should be called “father and son argue about cars”.
  • El Chonkolonko
    I love these two characters.
    Oh dear, I highly enjoy listening to Tommy and Roman go back and forth. Tommy has really come into his own in the recent year or two and has great insight and always provides a great counter argument to Roman’s takes, like the debate between the Toyota Landcruiser’s preciousness. I highly recommend listening to these two, as well as all other TFL podcasts.
  • OBXDoc
    Fun listening
    A great balance between Roman’s experience and Tommy’s intellectual approach. Both have fun personality’s and depth of knowledge. Really enjoyed the 911 Podcast. Hope you do one on the Corvette C8 .
  • Jeff McGoveran
    Constant interruptions and bickering
    I love the YouTube channel and have mostly enjoyed this podcast but good God, the dad can’t let his son finish a thought, he constantly interrupts Tommy and bickers with him. Now Tommy will bicker too as they argue over stupid things, but he’s constantly playing defense against his own dad. If you want to hear what I’m talking about listen to the Season 2 Episode 2 (Wagoneer) and you’ll hear it. It was PAINFUL to listen to and extremely petty. Very disappointed. Will continue listening as I enjoy the content for the vehicle discussion. I hope they can take this criticism and make improvements.
  • Boglaw
    Awesome
    Love these guys! Great banter
  • fflloowerr
    Mod it!!!!
    You should mod that baby! Let’s see what is possible!
  • Cutmanjim
    Very bespoke
    The only podcast in the world will you get to hear the word bespoke on a regular basis even though the word it’s never used a normal conversation. Aside from that Great content in the best podcast for automotive news and information.
  • Joermcd
    I like it!
    It seems like they are starting to figure this whole podcast thing out. The most recent episodes are much better than first few episodes they put out. I enjoy the content, and I enjoy hearing Tommy’s and Roman’s different perspectives.
  • Wake up!!!!!
    Still my guys
    Still giving a 5 Star because you guys are the best. Constructive criticism, a lot of time the back and forth is a little awkward between Tommy and Roman. Maybe because knowing you are father and son I don’t know. ANYWAY, you guys are truly my go to entertainment on YouTube and now on my commute. Been watching since the beginning!
  • wowitsgaston
    LET TOMMY TALK
    Seriously Roman, let Tommy finish a thought. I understand that this is a podcast and that the point is to look at different views of any given subject, but you interrupt 90% of Tommy’s thoughts and opinions and then sometimes even go on to say that he is wrong or his argument is irrelevant. I’ve been waiting to see if this changes at all, but this has been an ongoing occurrence for most of your episodes so far. I hope that you can respect Tommy’s ideas enough to hear them out.
  • NockC
    Love the YouTube channel and Podcasts
    Great way to disconnect when you’re not joy riding! Always enjoy TFL’s car coverage, reviews, and random adventures.

    Not a Bad Way to Spend Time
    I’ve loved cars and trucks my whole life, and I’m a big fan of TFL and the work they do. I’ve been watching their YouTube channels for several years now. They produce great video content! It’s great to hear their voices at my desk at work, when I obviously can’t instead watch your videos. However, while I enjoy their YouTube videos, I unfortunately can’t say that to same extent with this podcast. As I titled the review, it’s not a bad way to spend your time, but personally it’s not my first choice for a car/truck podcast because I think it needs some work. I’m no podcast expert, but as a listener I don’t really find the podcast super interesting or the topics talked about. The latest podcast about the best, used off-roaders you can get for under $5k was rather a turn-off to this podcast. Roman, I love you man, but you were beating a dead horse when talking about old, high-mileage Toyota 4Runners. I understood your complaint, but you unnecessarily kept going to where it came off like whining. I quit listening to the rest of the episode at that point. I don’t think anyone wants to hear that. Have an opinion, say it, backup your viewpoint, and leave it at that. Also, the joking intro line of this being the worlds best podcast is a little annoying to hear every time. I love the whole TFL team and won’t stop listening to this podcast because of one episode, but because I love you guys and want you to do better, I wanted to let you know what I thought. Keep at it, guys!

    Quality and Quantitiy
    TFL is awesome, they do unbiased real world testing from cars to trucks and everything in between. Not to mention Towing and MPG tests that you CANNOT find anywhere else. All of the crew do a great job and I can’t wait for more podcasts! Seriously, give them a try here and check them out on YouTube!
  • Bienfang84
    Finally.
    I can’t wait for this to grow and you have industry insiders, special guests, maybe even fans on this podcast. I hope it blows up for you guys and gives you another much needed income stream.
  • Abe from Virginia
    Knowledgeable Automotive reviews
    These guys have been doing YouTube videos for years. I have been following them as they have grown. Really honest reviews with real life tests of Car, Trucks and SUV on and off road. Definitely give them a listen and you will be hooked.
  • Kmtnevada
    These guys are the greatest!
    This will become one the most popular podcasts in no time. Keep up the great work you do.
