Part of the Hagerty Podcast Network, the Carmudgeon Show is a comedic, information-filled conversation with Jason Cammisa and Derek Tam-Scott, two car enthusiasts who are curmudgeonly beyond their years. Proving you don’t have to be old to be grumpy, they spend each episode talking about what’s wrong with various parts of the automotive universe. Despite their best efforts to keep it negative, they usually wind up laughing, happy, and extolling their love for cars. Which just makes them angrier and more bitter. Jason Cammisa is an automotive journalist, social-media figure, and TV host with over 300 million views on YouTube alone. Jason’s deeply technical understanding, made possible by a lifelong obsession with cars, allows him to fully digest what’s going on within an automobile — and then put it into simple terms for others to understand. Also, a Master’s Degree in Law trained him to be impossible to argue with. Derek Tam-Scott still tries. He’s a young automotive expert with old-man taste in cars, and a Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering — which means he knows how to be civil to Jason. Or at least he tries. With a decade and a half’s experience buying, selling, driving and brokering classic and exotic cars, he’s experienced the world’s most iconic cars. And hated most of them.

Big fan of Carmudgeons Derek and Jason together. They’re equally neurotic and detailed about very specific vehicles, particularly of the German variety - but not car snobs. A peek inside the neuroses of every car-obsessed people of the world, the delights that make us tick, and what nightmare cars and features GIVE us a tick.
I truly appreciate your honesty and sincerity of your opinions, I just finished listening to Episode #225. “Do Race Cars Sell Road Cars”, I feel that the previous question’s answer predominantly applies to the golden age of NASCAR, when you could watch a race on Sunday and then go to a dealer on Monday to purchase a very similar vehicle. Even though Super Birds were prohibitedly expensive and a sales failure, you could still buy one. In other forms of racing such as Formula One, you are purchasing more to support the Manufacturer more than trying to purchase the vehicle you just saw win a race. Since just about every form of racing has set limits on vehicle types, the sales philosophy has shifted to brand recognition more than ever. Keep up the great work and I am a big fan!
Jason and Derek have wonderful chemistry, boundless knowledge, and aren’t afraid to call OEM’s/products/trends out when they’re in need of being flamed. Always wonderful part of my week that I carve out time for.
Great source of recommendations and deep cut knowledge. These guys have decades of experience and learning from which they draw upon and you get to be a fly on the wall during the discussions.
