An ode to Cars & Bids - response to most recent video
I’ve never posted on Reddit before but I hope Doug and the crew get to read this.
I recently moved to a new city for an investment banking analyst gig. I know nobody here. I work 90-100 hours a week, and so have no time to meet anyone outside work. The one day I do get somewhat off, Saturday, is the only day I get for rest, exercise, and general mental health upkeep. Every Saturday, a great deal of that time is spent on the phone with friends & family, and consuming Dougverse content - catching up on auction results, the pod, and the videos missed.
I’ve seen every single Cars & Bids pod, in its entirety. The personality and friendship dynamics of Doug and his friends mirror so much of what I miss about my friends back home. It’s made what I’m doing tolerable, and has allowed me to remain relatively sane as I progress through the grind years of my early life. It’s a reminder that I’m working for something, and my friends are there for me now and when it’s over. It’s hard to describe how much of a lift to my mental health you all are. You guys are hilarious, and not that you had any plans of stopping or need motivation but please keep doing your thing.
Best,
Random internet dude
