[02:13.800 -> 02:16.000] Oh, yeah, now we need to clip that
[02:16.000 -> 02:20.760] Do you know I mean and now we just drove to Switzerland which we're gonna tell you all about that story in today's pod

[02:48.820 -> 02:51.680] Yeah, Fab, how you feeling after your long slog?
[02:51.680 -> 02:53.960] Do you know what, I'm finally fully rested up,
[02:53.960 -> 02:56.440] but man, I don't know what came over me
[02:56.440 -> 03:00.400] in those hours in France, where I just powered for about,
[03:00.400 -> 03:01.400] I don't know how long.
[03:01.400 -> 03:02.680] In the video, we kind of cut it,
[03:02.680 -> 03:04.240] because we wanted to make the video on YouTube
[03:04.240 -> 03:06.220] more about, you know, the interview.
[03:06.220 -> 03:07.960] But let's actually just pod from the beginning
[03:07.960 -> 03:09.040] of what happened that day.
[03:09.040 -> 03:11.240] Like, we get to the airport,
[03:11.240 -> 03:13.040] we think the flight is absolutely fine,
[03:13.040 -> 03:14.600] the airport's rammed, there's nowhere to sit,
[03:14.600 -> 03:15.420] nowhere to get any food.
[03:15.420 -> 03:17.240] The airport was rammed and there was no wifi?
[03:17.240 -> 03:18.480] It was absolutely ridiculous.
[03:18.480 -> 03:20.080] Looting airport, horrendous.
[03:20.080 -> 03:21.800] We paid 120 pound parking.
[03:21.800 -> 03:22.800] That reminds me I need to try
[03:22.800 -> 03:23.960] and get that parking money back.
[03:23.960 -> 03:24.800] Oh yeah.
[03:24.800 -> 03:25.360] I completely forgot about that. I paid 120 pound of park there for two I need to try and get that parking money back. I completely forgot about that.
[03:25.360 -> 03:27.480] I paid 120 pound of park there for two days
[03:27.480 -> 03:28.680] and we're already parked at the airport
[03:28.680 -> 03:30.920] for less than like eight hours.
[03:30.920 -> 03:32.600] We get there, we're delayed three hours.
[03:32.600 -> 03:33.640] We wait three hours.
[03:33.640 -> 03:35.120] We're delayed another three hours.
[03:35.120 -> 03:36.240] We wait three hours.
[03:36.240 -> 03:39.280] We sat there in the queue at the gate that they give us.
[03:39.280 -> 03:40.760] We literally sat there on our phones,
[03:40.760 -> 03:41.840] knackered at this point.
[03:41.840 -> 03:43.040] We waited for six hours.
[03:43.040 -> 03:44.240] I gave up out of the queue, didn't I?
[03:44.240 -> 03:45.160] I wanted to get sat down. I tried to work the. I gave up out of the queue, didn't I? I wanted to get sat down.
[03:45.160 -> 03:46.880] I tried to work the vending machine,
[03:46.880 -> 03:48.200] which by the way, didn't work,
[03:48.200 -> 03:50.760] swallowed all my money and didn't pay us a Coke
[03:50.760 -> 03:51.600] or anything like that.
[03:51.600 -> 03:53.560] I literally swear, I was so bored,
[03:53.560 -> 03:55.960] just waiting, I think I did a whole pack of chewing gum.
[03:55.960 -> 03:59.440] I was just sat there on the floor
[03:59.440 -> 04:00.280] and then there's an announcement in there.
[04:00.280 -> 04:02.320] I had my headphones in, didn't hear it,
[04:02.320 -> 04:06.800] but all I saw was everyone just stand up and leave
[04:06.800 -> 04:11.280] it was an announcement to go to gate 6 and I thought and there was loads of people
[04:11.280 -> 04:13.680] around us weren't there and I was going on they're switching us to a British
[04:13.680 -> 04:17.320] Airways we're all gonna be first I was saying stuff loud no one was looking at
[04:17.320 -> 04:21.120] me like I was serious I don't know why I was doing that get to gate 6 and it's
[04:21.120 -> 04:26.320] and chaos ensued it was a sea of people as far as the eye can see.
[04:26.320 -> 04:27.920] It was like one of those TV shows.
[04:27.920 -> 04:28.760] It was, yeah, whatever they call it.
[04:28.760 -> 04:30.400] It was literally like one of those TV shows
[04:30.400 -> 04:31.240] where the show gets canceled.
[04:31.240 -> 04:34.140] Departure lounge disasters, whatever they call it.
[04:34.140 -> 04:36.680] We got there and then we realized it was canceled.
[04:36.680 -> 04:38.760] Everyone was stressing, like, so were we,
[04:38.760 -> 04:41.240] because to be honest though, at that point,
[04:41.240 -> 04:42.560] I wasn't that worried.
[04:42.560 -> 04:44.040] Like when they told us it was canceled,
[04:44.040 -> 04:45.480] I still thought, oh, we'll be able to get there.
[04:45.480 -> 04:46.760] We'll just get another flight.
[04:46.760 -> 04:49.160] Like I thought they would just put us in another flight.
[04:49.160 -> 04:51.420] We get out, whilst we're waiting for our bags,
[04:51.420 -> 04:54.360] no flights, any way of getting there,
[04:54.360 -> 04:56.640] get us to Switzerland in time for the filming slot
[04:56.640 -> 04:57.480] that we had.
[04:57.480 -> 04:59.000] None that night, none the next day either.
[04:59.000 -> 05:00.400] So we were like actually fucked.
[05:00.400 -> 05:02.840] Like we couldn't even get a flight earlier the next morning.
[05:02.840 -> 05:08.200] I literally just looked at you and in my head head I was thinking we're gonna have to drive. But you didn't
[05:08.200 -> 05:12.400] even you didn't even have to say anything I just saw the look in your eye yeah and I've
[05:12.400 -> 05:17.320] just stood there and I'm just like I'm gonna have to drive it aren't I? And the person
[05:17.320 -> 05:22.080] was like no man you don't have to like I'm thinking you motherfucker I know you want
[05:22.080 -> 05:25.520] to drive. Yeah and then the second I saw there was a hint of hope of him driving I was thinking, you motherfucker, I know you wanna drive. And then the second I saw there was a hint of hope
[05:25.520 -> 05:28.120] of him driving, I was all over it, like maps in it.
[05:28.120 -> 05:30.520] To give you a rundown of how tight this was by the way.
[05:30.520 -> 05:32.020] Oh, by the way, just before we go into that,
[05:32.020 -> 05:34.040] we met a guy and his girlfriend, can't remember his name.
[05:34.040 -> 05:34.860] Was it Chris?
[05:34.860 -> 05:35.700] I can't remember.
[05:35.700 -> 05:37.480] But what a legend, he was a Pit Stop fan.
[05:37.480 -> 05:38.320] Yeah.
[05:38.320 -> 05:39.520] And he was meant to be going out to Zurich
[05:39.520 -> 05:41.640] to see Ed Sheeran.
[05:41.640 -> 05:42.720] I hope you made it out, mate.
[05:42.720 -> 05:44.440] I know you might have to drove as well.
[05:44.440 -> 05:48.960] I know you did, I think they went home. Oh, that's Yeah, it was a it was a bit of a shit show to be honest
[05:48.960 -> 05:53.200] And we get we run back to the car literally get back into car as soon as we can
[05:53.480 -> 05:57.980] And at this point we've decided we're driving so we get in the car we maps it
[05:58.100 -> 06:01.920] Who did we call upon your dad in our last hour of need?
[06:01.920 -> 06:07.200] We were in such a rush because I had to map the whole journey to Switzerland So Fab rang his dad and said Aldo
[06:07.540 -> 06:12.840] Please please please can you help us put this Eurostar because we needed someone on a computer. Who by the way was sloshed
[06:12.840 -> 06:14.840] Because it was a Friday night
[06:14.840 -> 06:19.380] He was pissed out of his head at home and he was like all of a sudden he was given this task to do
[06:19.380 -> 06:24.760] And it was like it was against the clock as well because we were racing down to Folkestone to get the train
[06:24.760 -> 06:27.080] Mm-hmm, and then we had to get the one at midnight, right?
[06:27.080 -> 06:29.720] But if we didn't get the one at midnight, I didn't think we're gonna make it
[06:29.720 -> 06:31.860] We thought the train we were gonna get was gonna be quarter past one
[06:31.860 -> 06:37.560] And obviously when you go to Europe you lose an hour as well. So one would have been really bad man
[06:37.560 -> 06:42.640] Yeah, we wouldn't have made it. No, we wouldn't because the interview got pushed forward. We had to make that midnight train
[06:42.640 -> 06:44.800] I remember at one point we were
[06:48.840 -> 06:53.360] This story is so crazy about I was about to jump all the way to the end because it's just so nuts. We get on the Eurotunnel, we're just sat there trying to
[06:53.360 -> 07:00.360] get a bit of sleep, straight out, out to France, Fab starts driving, within literally 10 seconds,
[07:00.360 -> 07:05.540] there's a video of it on YouTube, but we've been literally 10,
[07:05.540 -> 07:06.980] there's not actually a video of it happening,
[07:06.980 -> 07:09.000] but yeah, you come straight out
[07:09.000 -> 07:10.960] and in the headlights, you just see a rabbit
[07:10.960 -> 07:12.460] come running across the road.
[07:12.460 -> 07:14.460] And I looked at it, I just said,
[07:14.460 -> 07:18.220] and I just thought, oh my God, what a terrible start.
[07:18.220 -> 07:19.060] Do you know what?
[07:19.060 -> 07:20.540] I saw it, I saw it, but do you know what?
[07:20.540 -> 07:23.260] I did what I was supposed to do in that moment,
[07:23.260 -> 07:25.080] which was look in my rearview mirror
[07:28.960 -> 07:32.740] See that there was a car behind me and I didn't break there was cars everywhere I didn't I didn't stop for the road slam your brakes on a shit is it is like
[07:33.720 -> 07:40.240] It just happened that's a green cross code. That's how that's if you ask a government or a person high up
[07:40.440 -> 07:49.640] They would say that's the exact thing to do. Did you pass your theory test first time? Yes. You absolutely nailed it, did you revise? Actually first time in my
[07:49.640 -> 07:54.880] life I ever revised but I'm pretty sure it was just like online tests. How about
[07:54.880 -> 08:02.920] driving test? Yeah first time. First time as well, no minors really. No lessons baby. I had two lessons like two years ago. I was two times but to be
[08:02.920 -> 08:06.200] fair mine were in London mate so it was very easy to get stuff wrong.
[08:06.200 -> 08:08.400] I would not want to do my driving test in London.
[08:08.400 -> 08:11.240] Yeah, my first ever test, I remember it specifically.
[08:11.240 -> 08:12.760] I was doing absolutely amazing.
[08:12.760 -> 08:15.840] And I came to a junction and I was at a red light.
[08:15.840 -> 08:17.760] And I like, for some reason was in a lane
[08:17.760 -> 08:19.680] where it like had a left turn option or something.
[08:19.680 -> 08:20.940] And I thought I could go.
[08:20.940 -> 08:23.320] So I just started going in the middle of like a fucking
[08:23.320 -> 08:24.840] red light on a cross junction.
[08:24.840 -> 08:25.920] And the woman just slammed the
[08:25.920 -> 08:26.760] brakes on him.
[08:26.760 -> 08:28.000] I was like, it's a red light.
[08:28.000 -> 08:29.720] I was like, oh, that was awful.
[08:29.720 -> 08:30.600] That was horrible.
[08:30.600 -> 08:31.440] Yeah.
[08:31.440 -> 08:32.720] I just drove my dad's car around.
[08:32.720 -> 08:34.600] He was like my passenger, but he didn't have pedals.
[08:34.600 -> 08:35.440] Even my driver.
[08:35.440 -> 08:36.260] Thank God.
[08:36.260 -> 08:37.100] Cause he would have crashed me.
[08:37.100 -> 08:39.280] Yeah, even my driving lessons were a load.
[08:39.280 -> 08:40.640] But yeah, anyway, going back to what we're doing.
[08:40.640 -> 08:43.440] It's Fab's first time driving on the other side of the road.
[08:43.440 -> 08:45.440] And then, yeah, we just drove all the way down. Which is ridiculous, by the way. What a whirlwind of emotions to think we're doing, it's Fab's first time driving on the other side of the road and then yeah we just drove all the way down to Switzerland.
[08:45.440 -> 08:49.400] Which is ridiculous by the way, what a whirlwind of emotions to think you're flying somewhere
[08:49.400 -> 08:54.040] to all of a sudden getting the last train over and then all of a sudden I'm on the wrong
[08:54.040 -> 08:58.480] side of the road at night, it was like 1am, it was 2am over there.
[08:58.480 -> 09:02.160] We were already quite tired at the airport because we went out the night before, we were
[09:02.160 -> 09:07.800] out the night before so it was just chaos to before. So it was just chaos, to be honest, but we made it there.
[09:07.800 -> 09:10.440] Like ultimately we were put with this challenge
[09:10.440 -> 09:11.840] and it was like, we've got the chance
[09:11.840 -> 09:13.000] to film with these Formula One drivers.
[09:13.000 -> 09:14.340] We're not going to miss it.
[09:14.340 -> 09:15.180] We didn't miss it.
[09:15.180 -> 09:16.440] There was no way we were going to miss it.
[09:16.440 -> 09:17.680] There was no way.
[09:17.680 -> 09:19.160] And it was the most incredible weekend,
[09:19.160 -> 09:20.920] a movie I shall remember forever.
[09:20.920 -> 09:22.400] It all happened so quickly.
[09:22.400 -> 09:25.240] We got there within an hour of
[09:25.240 -> 09:30.200] like doing the podcast we had to set up so quickly get it done and all of a
[09:30.200 -> 09:34.360] sudden it was like over and done with taking everything down back to the hotel
[09:34.360 -> 09:39.560] tried to go out but we were so tired that we went to Zurich and didn't last very long and then came back.
[09:39.560 -> 09:51.200] We literally ubered there, had some food, went straight back and went to sleep and I slept for like 12 hours. I was just out. Glorious though, gloriously. And then drove all the way home on Sunday. We
[09:51.200 -> 09:54.800] was going to break it up into two parts. I can't believe you managed to do that. We ended up in
[09:54.800 -> 09:59.760] some random French town because I remember my dad saying to me like, yeah, when you're driving
[09:59.760 -> 10:03.600] through France, like don't take the toll roads, take the normal roads and then like stop off for
[10:03.600 -> 10:06.360] lunch and rather than get a garage like Sarnie or something you can
[10:06.360 -> 10:11.020] get like a lovely bit of food so we just stopped this random French town and it
[10:11.020 -> 10:13.860] was Sunday nothing was open but there was these two places open next to each
[10:13.860 -> 10:17.640] other we walked in one of them and it just smelt like dog straight away
[10:17.640 -> 10:22.020] literally smelt like wet dog but then Jake was like oh the Arsenal game's on
[10:22.020 -> 10:26.160] they were showing the football so I went went there, had some lovely food.
[10:26.160 -> 10:27.000] Yeah, we did.
[10:27.000 -> 10:28.260] Had some fromage frites.
[10:28.260 -> 10:29.820] Us trying to order the menu.
[10:29.820 -> 10:30.980] They didn't have an English menu,
[10:30.980 -> 10:34.620] so we had to translate absolutely everything.
[10:34.620 -> 10:36.700] It was so funny, and no one in there spoke English
[10:36.700 -> 10:38.220] other than one random guy in the corner.
[10:38.220 -> 10:39.340] So when the waitress come over,
[10:39.340 -> 10:40.700] we'd say something and she'd turn around,
[10:40.700 -> 10:41.820] look at the guy that spoke English,
[10:41.820 -> 10:42.980] and they were translating.
[10:42.980 -> 10:44.620] Proper classic French place.
[10:44.620 -> 10:47.920] And then, getting home, we was home, we got to Calais.
[10:47.920 -> 10:48.760] This is...
[10:48.760 -> 10:51.760] Oh, I didn't think about that.
[10:51.760 -> 10:54.120] I forgot about the fact that he got arrested.
[10:54.120 -> 10:55.640] Well, not arrested, but...
[10:55.640 -> 10:57.760] Yeah, I didn't get arrested, but...
[10:57.760 -> 11:00.040] Got pulled by the French police for speeding.
[11:00.040 -> 11:04.520] Which, we were warned by a certain Matt WTF1,
[11:04.520 -> 11:05.000] from WTF1
[11:05.720 -> 11:06.560] about that.
[11:06.560 -> 11:08.040] He said the French police don't fuck around, didn't he?
[11:08.040 -> 11:09.880] Yeah, he said don't speed in France.
[11:11.080 -> 11:12.120] Didn't listen.
[11:12.120 -> 11:13.480] No, you weren't going that much over.
[11:13.480 -> 11:14.680] You only just got over.
[11:14.680 -> 11:16.000] A 90 euro fine's fine.
[11:16.000 -> 11:17.240] Yeah, I wasn't really going over it.
[11:17.240 -> 11:19.280] And they're gonna email it to me anyway, so.
[11:19.280 -> 11:20.120] Yeah.
[11:20.120 -> 11:20.940] I think that'll probably be.
[11:20.940 -> 11:21.780] Anyway, quickly skip past that one.
[11:21.780 -> 11:22.620] You're going to the junk.
[11:22.620 -> 11:23.440] Yeah, next.
[11:24.720 -> 11:25.560] We get to the dock. Get to Calais. Oh my God, this one. Yep, next. Um, so. We get to the dock.
[11:25.560 -> 11:26.400] Get to Calais.
[11:26.400 -> 11:29.160] Oh my god, this is absolute chaos.
[11:29.160 -> 11:31.240] This is like a fucking Hot Wheels track.
[11:31.240 -> 11:33.920] No, this, this, literally, it's just fucking
[11:33.920 -> 11:34.760] It's like a horror film.
[11:34.760 -> 11:36.840] Just going round and round and round.
[11:36.840 -> 11:40.960] We went in the freight entrance to the Euro Tunnel.
[11:40.960 -> 11:42.440] So we pull up. I swear.
[11:42.440 -> 11:43.720] And we go through this barrier,
[11:43.720 -> 11:45.520] and we get to the machine where you're supposed to
[11:45.520 -> 11:46.640] get a ticket or whatever,
[11:46.640 -> 11:49.120] and we notice it's really high up.
[11:49.120 -> 11:50.520] How are you supposed to reach it?
[11:50.520 -> 11:52.640] You could've drove under the barrier.
[11:52.640 -> 11:54.760] Literally, and then Jake was like,
[11:54.760 -> 11:55.960] Fab, you're in the lorry section,
[11:55.960 -> 11:57.440] so I was like, oh shit.
[11:57.440 -> 11:59.120] So then I had to go out, press the machine,
[11:59.120 -> 12:00.800] we got out, and they were like,
[12:00.800 -> 12:02.240] yeah, you just carry on straight on
[12:02.240 -> 12:03.480] and follow the green line.
[12:03.480 -> 12:04.320] So we go around.
[12:04.320 -> 12:06.000] You're missing the whole part of the story where we fall into the lorry, but Fab's like, yeah, you just carry on straight on and follow the green line. So we go around. You're missing the whole part of the story
[12:06.000 -> 12:07.960] where we've pulled into the lorry bit,
[12:07.960 -> 12:09.360] Fab's had to get out of the car,
[12:09.360 -> 12:11.040] go and ask someone for some help
[12:11.040 -> 12:12.840] because they're stuck in the lorry.
[12:12.840 -> 12:13.680] Poor, poor, poor.
[12:13.680 -> 12:14.920] And there was the dogs,
[12:14.920 -> 12:15.760] remember the dogs going crazy.
[12:15.760 -> 12:16.600] Yeah, yeah.
[12:16.600 -> 12:19.040] And she sent us to this bay and we waited in this bay
[12:19.040 -> 12:21.040] and then this person turns up in another car
[12:21.040 -> 12:21.880] with flashing lights.
[12:21.880 -> 12:22.700] She gets out.
[12:22.700 -> 12:23.540] Private escort.
[12:23.540 -> 12:27.360] Yeah, she's like, follow me, follow me.
[12:30.640 -> 12:32.960] So we followed her out and we get to these gates. I'm thinking she's going to take us straight to the train,
[12:32.960 -> 12:36.400] like no customs, no passport, just straight on the train.
[12:36.400 -> 12:38.240] I thought we would won there.
[12:38.240 -> 12:40.480] She takes us to this little gate, we go through.
[12:40.480 -> 12:42.000] We're driving up this road, she just goes,
[12:42.000 -> 12:44.560] follow the green arrow on the floor, follow the green line.
[12:44.560 -> 12:46.120] So we get to the first roundabout,
[12:46.120 -> 12:47.160] we're following the green arrow,
[12:47.160 -> 12:48.520] and then we get to the first entrance
[12:48.520 -> 12:50.880] on the first roundabout, and there's two exits.
[12:50.880 -> 12:54.600] We take one exit, and instantly we can no longer see
[12:54.600 -> 12:56.400] the green line anymore.
[12:56.400 -> 12:57.240] And we're going-
[12:57.240 -> 12:58.060] It just disappeared.
[12:58.060 -> 12:59.960] The green line only took you to the roundabout,
[12:59.960 -> 13:01.440] it didn't take you anywhere else.
[13:01.440 -> 13:03.240] What's the point of the green line?
[13:03.240 -> 13:04.960] It was actually after that, that we gave up
[13:04.960 -> 13:06.160] and went and parked in that garage
[13:06.160 -> 13:07.720] and thought we are literally lost.
[13:07.720 -> 13:11.000] Gave up in a garage and then finally managed to find it,
[13:11.000 -> 13:12.920] went there, but it wasn't just us, right?
[13:12.920 -> 13:13.760] There was actually other Brits.
[13:13.760 -> 13:14.580] That was the worst thing,
[13:14.580 -> 13:17.160] there was other people following us.
[13:17.160 -> 13:18.520] People following us.
[13:18.520 -> 13:22.040] Finally got on the train, got back,
[13:22.040 -> 13:25.000] had a wonderful sleep, woke up,
[13:25.760 -> 13:27.160] and lived another day.
[13:27.160 -> 13:28.000] To tell the tale.
[13:28.000 -> 13:28.820] Yeah, then we were just so excited
[13:28.820 -> 13:30.080] to get the Bottas video up,
[13:30.080 -> 13:31.240] which is why it went up early.
[13:31.240 -> 13:34.280] And I think it was worth us doing this episode today
[13:34.280 -> 13:35.960] to just tell everyone everything going on.
[13:35.960 -> 13:37.040] And also.
[13:37.040 -> 13:37.880] Do you know what?
[13:37.880 -> 13:38.700] I think the people needed it.
[13:38.700 -> 13:39.540] Yeah, I agree.
[13:39.540 -> 13:40.560] And I also want to say,
[13:40.560 -> 13:42.920] because I can't believe it myself,
[13:42.920 -> 13:48.880] there is an unbelievable amount of guests coming and they are seriously cool like some of them that we've
[13:48.880 -> 13:53.280] managed to get now and people that want to come on this show is absolutely insane
[13:53.280 -> 13:58.400] they're coming in seriously hot they're like piping hot piping hot like
[13:58.400 -> 14:02.720] honestly do not touch kind of hot and that's all thanks to you guys you know
[14:02.720 -> 14:05.000] we don't always get to get the chance
[14:05.000 -> 14:07.960] to come back and say thank you, but blimey,
[14:07.960 -> 14:09.280] it's quite a few listeners now.
[14:09.280 -> 14:10.920] Yeah, there's a few people to thank.
[14:10.920 -> 14:13.560] I think when we do like our end of year roundup,
[14:13.560 -> 14:15.280] I don't know, we're not gonna win any awards this year.
[14:15.280 -> 14:17.040] So maybe we just create our own award
[14:17.040 -> 14:18.480] and then we like film a ceremony
[14:18.480 -> 14:19.880] where we go up and thank everyone.
[14:19.880 -> 14:22.240] I'm putting it live on TikTok.
[14:22.240 -> 14:24.000] Just film it in a flat, yeah.
[14:24.000 -> 14:25.320] Yeah, everything's just been crazy.
[14:25.320 -> 14:27.800] So thank you very much to everyone who's been listening.
[14:27.800 -> 14:28.880] Jake. Yeah.
[14:28.880 -> 14:32.320] Why don't you dive straight in to some current news
[14:32.320 -> 14:34.200] in the F1 world right now?
[14:34.200 -> 14:39.200] Well, actually today they announced the 2023 calendar.
[14:41.920 -> 14:42.760] Wasn't it yesterday?
[14:42.760 -> 14:43.880] Yeah, was it?
[14:43.880 -> 14:44.720] I think it was two days ago.
[14:44.720 -> 14:46.000] Oh my God, really? Yeah think it was two days ago.
[14:46.000 -> 14:48.000] Oh my god, really?
[14:48.000 -> 14:50.000] Oh yeah, I knew that. We're only just podding now, aren't I?
[14:50.000 -> 14:52.000] Yeah, there's 24 races, mate.
[14:52.000 -> 14:54.000] Wow. 24 races.
[14:54.000 -> 14:56.000] And Joe has got his dream.
[14:56.000 -> 14:58.000] The race in China is back, which means
[14:58.000 -> 15:00.000] Valtteri Bottas is gonna have a hot pot.
[15:00.000 -> 15:02.000] Hot pot, yeah. We have to go for that.
[15:02.000 -> 15:04.000] Surely. We absolutely have to go.
[15:04.000 -> 15:05.160] Surely we're invited to that. Like, surely those two would be like, yeah, let's to go for that. Surely. Surely we're invited to that.
[15:05.160 -> 15:06.640] Like surely those two would be like,
[15:06.640 -> 15:07.980] yeah, let's bring those boys along.
[15:07.980 -> 15:09.360] We have to go, mate.
[15:09.360 -> 15:11.760] Do you know what the added races are this year?
[15:12.680 -> 15:14.320] Yeah, we've got Shanghai, China.
[15:14.320 -> 15:16.720] We've got Las Vegas, Nevada.
[15:17.560 -> 15:20.000] And I think,
[15:20.000 -> 15:21.200] go on.
[15:21.200 -> 15:22.600] Isn't that it?
[15:22.600 -> 15:23.440] Yeah, that is it, right?
[15:23.440 -> 15:25.400] Because it's 22 this year. Yeah.
[15:25.400 -> 15:26.240] 24.
[15:26.240 -> 15:28.400] How'd you feel about a 24 race calendar?
[15:28.400 -> 15:30.120] I think for the fans, excellent.
[15:30.120 -> 15:33.600] I think for the drivers, presents a brand new challenge.
[15:33.600 -> 15:36.400] More races, less time off.
[15:36.400 -> 15:38.520] Vegas is going to be a hot race, probably,
[15:38.520 -> 15:40.200] even though it's a night race, going to be roasting.
[15:40.200 -> 15:42.640] So they got to condition their bodies a bit more.
[15:42.640 -> 15:43.480] Yeah.
[15:44.360 -> 15:45.480] What was the other one? China, again, ridiculously hot. If it's a bit more. Yeah. Um, what was the other one?
[15:45.480 -> 15:47.640] China again, ridiculously hot.
[15:47.640 -> 15:49.880] If it's a street race, oh my God,
[15:49.880 -> 15:51.920] because Shanghai has the greatest skyline.
[15:51.920 -> 15:54.000] I've never seen a China race.
[15:54.000 -> 15:55.320] Have you seen Shanghai skyline?
[15:55.320 -> 15:56.160] No.
[15:56.160 -> 15:56.980] Oh my God.
[15:56.980 -> 15:57.820] Is it good?
[15:57.820 -> 15:58.660] Look at it.
[15:58.660 -> 16:00.120] I'm not looking at it right now, but if it's good,
[16:00.120 -> 16:00.960] we should go.
[16:00.960 -> 16:01.780] Let's go to China.
[16:01.780 -> 16:03.160] Next year, we want to go to all of them,
[16:03.160 -> 16:04.920] but bank account says no at the moment.
[16:04.920 -> 16:07.960] We'll take you to Bar bar Rouge because bar Rouge is special
[16:07.960 -> 16:11.760] But what's bar Rouge bar Rouge is the best rooftop bar in Shanghai?
[16:11.760 -> 16:15.640] I'll take you to bar Rouge my friend celebrate we are
[16:19.440 -> 16:23.320] Long I'll fly but it's worth it and then we can do our dream and go to Tokyo as well
[16:23.320 -> 16:26.400] We can fly from there. That would be insane. let's do it. Monaco's back on the
[16:26.400 -> 16:30.440] calendar renewed until 2025 there's a lot of talk about it. I don't think Monaco
[16:30.440 -> 16:34.360] is actually gonna go anywhere to be honest like I'm glad it's still there
[16:34.360 -> 16:38.240] really it's next year we want to go so we do want to go it's there for that
[16:38.240 -> 16:43.120] reason yeah calendar's looking pretty good but I said they need to add more
[16:43.120 -> 16:45.040] races and more teams.
[16:45.040 -> 16:48.000] And the sad news is that the Formula One president,
[16:48.000 -> 16:51.840] Stefano Dominicali,
[16:51.840 -> 16:53.720] I really should be able to pronounce his name, shouldn't I?
[16:53.720 -> 16:54.560] That's really bad.
[16:54.560 -> 16:56.560] What if he hears this?
[16:56.560 -> 16:57.800] This is a really important guy.
[16:57.800 -> 17:00.840] Stefano Dominicali,
[17:00.840 -> 17:02.360] Stefano Dominicali,
[17:02.360 -> 17:05.680] he said that adding new teams to the grid is not a priority
[17:05.680 -> 17:08.480] So it doesn't look like we're gonna have more than 10 teams.
[17:08.480 -> 17:10.640] Mmm. Do you know what?
[17:12.760 -> 17:14.760] Yep, we've got nothing to add to that.
[17:14.760 -> 17:18.080] Yeah, well, they're probably right. They probably know more than us. Maybe 10 teams is the perfect amount.
[17:18.080 -> 17:20.920] What news have you got? I know you were having a look at the news.
[17:20.920 -> 17:23.600] Yeah, I haven't got any news because my phone just died.
[17:24.400 -> 17:28.240] So I was kind of relying on whatever you had to be honest.
[17:28.240 -> 17:29.240] Oh.
[17:29.240 -> 17:31.240] So what, you're going to throw it back on me already?
[17:31.240 -> 17:33.240] We've only been filming for 16 minutes, Fab.
[17:33.240 -> 17:35.240] We've only been filming for 16 minutes.
[17:35.240 -> 17:40.000] I'm drinking a nice cold glass of, I don't know, something.
[17:40.000 -> 17:44.240] Well, why don't we give our whole pre-season roundup to date then?
[17:44.240 -> 17:45.600] We haven't actually done that.
[17:45.600 -> 17:49.120] What do we think about our first year so far in Formula 1?
[17:50.760 -> 17:55.760] My first year in Formula 1 has been a whirlwind, my friend.
[17:58.280 -> 18:00.880] I didn't really know what to expect going into it.
[18:02.600 -> 18:03.960] I've learned a lot of stuff.
[18:03.960 -> 18:05.800] There's a lot of stuff that happens that I didn't know stuff. There's a lot of stuff that happens
[18:05.800 -> 18:07.200] that I didn't know about.
[18:07.200 -> 18:09.280] There's a lot of stuff which I thought maybe happened
[18:09.280 -> 18:11.160] and now it has been confirmed.
[18:11.160 -> 18:12.160] It's just been crazy, man.
[18:12.160 -> 18:13.880] Seeing the inside of everything as well.
[18:13.880 -> 18:16.360] Like seeing inside the sport rather than just watching it
[18:16.360 -> 18:18.840] from the TV or like actually being there
[18:18.840 -> 18:19.680] and in the thick of it.
[18:19.680 -> 18:20.500] And seeing-
[18:20.500 -> 18:21.860] It's been one of the coolest ways to learn, right?
[18:21.860 -> 18:24.120] Just seeing how the whole machine works.
[18:24.120 -> 18:26.120] Yeah, we've been very lucky
[18:26.120 -> 18:27.800] with the way we've got to learn the sport.
[18:27.800 -> 18:30.400] And like, we've probably learned different aspects of it
[18:30.400 -> 18:32.600] before we should have learned the key aspects.
[18:32.600 -> 18:34.320] Like there's probably still things to do with the race
[18:34.320 -> 18:35.820] and that, that when it's on,
[18:35.820 -> 18:37.520] we don't have a clue what is going on.
[18:37.520 -> 18:38.360] Oh, definitely.
[18:38.360 -> 18:40.400] But like, I kind of love that.
[18:40.400 -> 18:42.080] Like what happened earlier
[18:42.080 -> 18:43.320] is we were standing on the side of the road
[18:43.320 -> 18:45.720] and some girl just randomly pulled up next to us, put her window down and was like, I love the podcast like what happened earlier is we were standing on the side of the road and some girl just randomly pulled up next to us,
[18:45.720 -> 18:46.840] put her window down and was like,
[18:46.840 -> 18:48.320] I love the podcast by the way,
[18:48.320 -> 18:50.080] like I'm a new Formula One fan as well,
[18:50.080 -> 18:51.880] like I've been listening, learning along.
[18:51.880 -> 18:54.180] And that just made, it makes you think like,
[18:54.180 -> 18:55.840] there's probably a lot of other people listening
[18:55.840 -> 18:58.680] that may be on exactly the same journey as us.
[18:58.680 -> 19:01.020] Like they watched the first race of the season,
[19:01.020 -> 19:01.860] Ferrari win.
[19:01.860 -> 19:03.440] Oh man, there's so many people.
[19:03.440 -> 19:04.280] That's why it's so good.
[19:04.280 -> 19:06.600] That's what I mean, this season's been crazy.
[19:07.560 -> 19:10.700] But when Ferrari won that first race of the season,
[19:10.700 -> 19:13.280] Ferrari have only won four races this season.
[19:14.280 -> 19:16.120] Like when they first won that first race,
[19:16.120 -> 19:18.000] I remember you went mental and I remember everyone
[19:18.000 -> 19:21.760] was like putting Ferrari in their teams on that race game.
[19:21.760 -> 19:23.600] And it just makes you think,
[19:23.600 -> 19:25.600] and then Red Bull go and get it in Saudi Arabia
[19:25.600 -> 19:28.280] and then Ferrari win in Australia.
[19:28.280 -> 19:30.640] At that point, I remember after Australia
[19:30.640 -> 19:31.600] and everyone was thinking,
[19:31.600 -> 19:33.520] oh, Charles Leclerc, Charles Leclerc.
[19:33.520 -> 19:35.600] It's mad though, because you've got three teams
[19:35.600 -> 19:38.520] who have all had different experiences this year.
[19:38.520 -> 19:41.720] You've got Ferrari, who started off really strong,
[19:41.720 -> 19:43.960] adapted really well to the changes
[19:43.960 -> 19:46.120] and then have just kind of had problem after problem
[19:46.120 -> 19:47.560] and haven't been consistent.
[19:47.560 -> 19:50.640] You've got Red Bull who started off okay,
[19:50.640 -> 19:52.120] like they were all right.
[19:52.120 -> 19:52.960] But then-
[19:52.960 -> 19:53.780] They had a few issues, didn't they?
[19:53.780 -> 19:54.620] When the cars sound fine.
[19:54.620 -> 19:56.400] Yeah, but then as the seasons have gone on,
[19:56.400 -> 19:58.720] they've just got stronger and stronger and stronger.
[19:58.720 -> 19:59.540] And then you've got-
[19:59.540 -> 20:00.380] Tighten it, tighten it.
[20:00.380 -> 20:02.320] I feel like that every week Red Bull get tighter.
[20:02.320 -> 20:03.880] Yeah, and then you've got Mercedes
[20:03.880 -> 20:06.120] who are like started off like whack
[20:06.120 -> 20:08.160] and then are getting a lot better,
[20:08.160 -> 20:10.640] but they're still not like up there yet.
[20:10.640 -> 20:12.800] Yeah, well, you got to remember like Mercedes
[20:12.800 -> 20:15.800] started off bad, but George Russell started off still
[20:15.800 -> 20:18.200] in the top five for like so many races in a row.
[20:18.200 -> 20:20.680] I think it was more the changes on Hamilton's car
[20:20.680 -> 20:22.160] and whatever they were doing on Hamilton's car
[20:22.160 -> 20:24.080] put Mercedes back.
[20:24.080 -> 20:28.520] But like it's mad looking at the calendar and like Mercedes haven't won a race. It is pretty crazy it's
[20:28.520 -> 20:33.800] only been Ferrari and Red Bull this season. I think it's only going to be a one year thing.
[20:33.800 -> 20:37.680] I reckon next year they're going to be flying. Do you really do you think Verstappen's won
[20:37.680 -> 20:45.200] the last five races in a row? And then Ferrari won the last two before that and then Red Bull won six in a row.
[20:45.200 -> 20:45.700] Wow.
[20:45.700 -> 20:50.000] Verstappen, Verstappen, Verstappen, Perez, Verstappen, Verstappen.
[20:50.000 -> 20:54.000] That Red Bull power machine is quite scary.
[20:54.000 -> 20:56.000] And just Verstappen in general.
[20:56.000 -> 20:56.500] Yeah.
[20:57.000 -> 20:59.000] Like, Checo's a great driver but...
[21:00.000 -> 21:00.500] Verstappen.
[21:01.500 -> 21:02.000] Machine.
[21:02.000 -> 21:07.120] What's your experience been? Because you went into this obviously unbiased, right?
[21:07.120 -> 21:09.640] But have always sort of leaned towards Red Bull.
[21:09.640 -> 21:10.600] And you like Max.
[21:10.600 -> 21:11.440] Yeah. Oh yeah.
[21:11.440 -> 21:12.280] I love Max.
[21:12.280 -> 21:13.920] Like we've got them videos of me
[21:13.920 -> 21:15.600] from before we even started filming
[21:15.600 -> 21:16.640] and I'm always in the Red Bull.
[21:16.640 -> 21:18.120] So I'm always saying about the Stappen
[21:18.120 -> 21:19.840] but that's cause he's like young and hungry
[21:19.840 -> 21:22.960] and like fights and like, he's just excited.
[21:22.960 -> 21:24.800] And also I love Red Bull as a brand.
[21:24.800 -> 21:25.800] Like I always say to you,
[21:25.800 -> 21:27.280] I love the way they do everything.
[21:27.280 -> 21:28.440] Well, that's my thing.
[21:28.440 -> 21:30.040] Cause they do like extreme sports.
[21:30.040 -> 21:31.920] They do the kind of shit that I like to watch.
[21:31.920 -> 21:33.360] Yeah, they cover so many great-
[21:33.360 -> 21:34.760] And they're so good at it.
[21:34.760 -> 21:36.960] I know, they're like always seen as like the best.
[21:36.960 -> 21:38.160] If you're sponsored by Red Bull,
[21:38.160 -> 21:39.880] you're like covered in a Red Bull helmet.
[21:39.880 -> 21:41.640] Everyone knows you're like the shit.
[21:41.640 -> 21:43.560] And they've been great to us as well.
[21:43.560 -> 21:44.400] Yeah.
[21:44.400 -> 21:47.840] I mean, I have to support Ferrari. Like that, that's never gonna stop. But then I also support
[21:47.840 -> 21:51.840] Ferrari, like I'm absolutely, there's a few people from Ferrari that I can't
[21:51.840 -> 21:55.920] wait to meet, if you're listening, you know you are.
[21:55.920 -> 21:57.920] Give me away little clues!
[21:57.920 -> 22:02.200] No yeah, Ferrari have been amazing to us as well. So many teams, Alfa Romeo,
[22:02.200 -> 22:11.120] Williams, you know, we're really lucky. I'm definitely not biased. Like, for example, Ferrari win, I would rather I've been saying
[22:11.120 -> 22:15.400] for weeks, I'd much rather Ferrari win, just to make it more interesting. I just rather
[22:15.400 -> 22:21.560] Mercedes win like, I just want a really good race. Like I would love anyone to win. We
[22:21.560 -> 22:25.640] need free DNS from both Red Bull drivers on the trial. That's what we need.
[22:25.640 -> 22:26.640] Just to open it up a little.
[22:26.640 -> 22:29.120] Maybe me and you need to get in the garage.
[22:29.120 -> 22:30.760] If me and you got in the garage.
[22:30.760 -> 22:33.360] Now my experience has just been a complete,
[22:33.360 -> 22:34.760] a complete mind opener to me.
[22:34.760 -> 22:36.040] I was always so into football
[22:36.040 -> 22:37.720] that every time I saw any other sport,
[22:37.720 -> 22:38.640] I couldn't concentrate.
[22:38.640 -> 22:40.040] Doesn't matter what it is.
[22:40.040 -> 22:42.120] Couldn't watch it start to finish.
[22:42.120 -> 22:43.280] And then even with Formula One,
[22:43.280 -> 22:44.840] when we started watching it, like I said to you,
[22:44.840 -> 22:46.700] I couldn't watch it start to finish. The then even with Formula One, when we started watching it, like I said to you, I couldn't watch it start to finish.
[22:46.700 -> 22:48.300] The first few races when we were podding,
[22:48.300 -> 22:50.620] like I'd watch, but I'm still on my phone.
[22:50.620 -> 22:53.380] I just think that's where it's different for us.
[22:53.380 -> 22:56.320] And like, when we get into these situations that we're in,
[22:56.320 -> 22:58.100] we don't get too overwhelmed by it.
[22:58.100 -> 22:59.960] And I think I've said this before on a podcast,
[22:59.960 -> 23:04.080] but this like football's your sport and music is my thing.
[23:04.080 -> 23:07.640] So like, even though we love Formula One now,
[23:07.640 -> 23:11.640] we don't, what's the best way to describe it?
[23:11.640 -> 23:14.400] Like we don't lose our minds when we've got two F1 drivers
[23:14.400 -> 23:15.600] so opposite us.
[23:15.600 -> 23:16.680] I guess that's true.
[23:16.680 -> 23:19.160] Like we're so lucky to get put in that position,
[23:19.160 -> 23:23.520] but like, we're so new to this that like, I don't know.
[23:23.520 -> 23:26.480] We're just, we're not mad, mad, mad fansies.
[23:26.480 -> 23:31.040] We haven't had the years of like, oh my God, going crazy about it on TV.
[23:31.040 -> 23:34.000] We've just walked, we've just walked in and like, yeah, that we're nervous.
[23:34.000 -> 23:35.120] This is our first experience.
[23:35.120 -> 23:37.040] We're nervous as fuck because we know how big they are.
[23:37.040 -> 23:38.320] Like we're still getting nervous.
[23:38.320 -> 23:41.040] We're aware of the situation we're in and how lucky we are to be there.
[23:41.040 -> 23:46.960] But my God, like the only way we can get through it is because we're not absolutely fucking fangirling.
[23:46.960 -> 23:49.920] And I say that because when I met Thierry Henry,
[23:49.920 -> 23:51.920] my favorite footballer of all time,
[23:51.920 -> 23:54.120] and he was standing in front of me.
[23:54.120 -> 23:56.160] I was standing with one of my friends
[23:56.160 -> 23:58.080] and my friend was like, should we get a picture of him?
[23:58.080 -> 23:59.440] I was like, I'd love a picture of him.
[23:59.440 -> 24:01.000] Please, can you ask him if we can get a picture of him?
[24:01.000 -> 24:02.600] Because I was too nervous.
[24:02.600 -> 24:03.800] And then my friend got a picture of him
[24:03.800 -> 24:05.800] and then he was like, can my mate Jake get on the video?
[24:05.800 -> 24:06.640] And I just went over,
[24:06.640 -> 24:07.760] took the picture of Thierry Henry,
[24:07.760 -> 24:09.280] I was shaking like a shit house.
[24:09.280 -> 24:10.480] I couldn't even say anything.
[24:10.480 -> 24:11.320] I love Henry.
[24:11.320 -> 24:12.920] I couldn't even say a thing to him.
[24:12.920 -> 24:13.760] I was so nervous.
[24:13.760 -> 24:15.520] And that makes me think like,
[24:15.520 -> 24:17.160] I couldn't do that if I felt like that
[24:17.160 -> 24:18.000] towards all the Formula One drivers.
[24:18.000 -> 24:18.840] Yeah, no, it's so true.
[24:18.840 -> 24:19.840] It just wouldn't work.
[24:19.840 -> 24:20.680] It wouldn't work.
[24:20.680 -> 24:22.360] If you asked me to talk to Thierry Henry,
[24:22.360 -> 24:23.640] I'd just freeze, I think.
[24:27.120 -> 24:31.040] I think I'd do the same. However though, I do definitely still get mad nervous.
[24:31.040 -> 24:33.680] I'm not gonna cut it. I'm not gonna pretend like we don't.
[24:33.680 -> 24:39.040] No, it's true. I was absolutely bricking it for Valtteri and Joe.
[24:39.040 -> 24:44.080] Mainly because I was so tired and every single question I had in my head had just completely gone.
[24:44.080 -> 24:47.960] Yeah, I did feel like we were both just so flat,
[24:47.960 -> 24:49.000] but then at the same time,
[24:49.000 -> 24:52.540] I was so happy that we had the time and-
[24:52.540 -> 24:54.480] Oh, I look back on it now and it's better than I thought.
[24:54.480 -> 24:55.400] Oh mate, everything-
[24:55.400 -> 24:57.720] In the moment, I was fucking struggling.
[24:57.720 -> 24:58.640] Everything with that weekend-
[24:58.640 -> 25:00.000] I was on my last leg there.
[25:00.000 -> 25:00.920] Yeah, I know, man.
[25:00.920 -> 25:02.600] Everything with that whole weekend went wrong.
[25:02.600 -> 25:04.160] Everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong.
[25:04.160 -> 25:07.000] Even the bloody recorder that we used to record the mics
[25:07.000 -> 25:07.840] actually blew up.
[25:07.840 -> 25:09.840] We haven't even spoke about that.
[25:09.840 -> 25:12.080] We have like an audio rig that we take everywhere.
[25:12.080 -> 25:13.960] Like all of our podcasts are done through it,
[25:13.960 -> 25:15.300] which we just bought a new one
[25:15.300 -> 25:17.980] because when we were in Switzerland doing the pod,
[25:17.980 -> 25:19.440] the fucking thing blew up.
[25:19.440 -> 25:20.280] It actually blew up.
[25:20.280 -> 25:21.880] There was like fireworks coming out of my laptop.
[25:21.880 -> 25:23.560] I don't know how the laptop survived it.
[25:23.560 -> 25:25.040] Just like an electric surge or something through using a different plug or I don't know how the laptop survived it. Just like an electric surge or something
[25:25.040 -> 25:27.640] for using a different plug or I don't know what happened.
[25:27.640 -> 25:28.600] It blew, yeah.
[25:28.600 -> 25:29.640] And then we're standing there
[25:29.640 -> 25:31.520] and the audio wasn't as good on that pod
[25:31.520 -> 25:32.340] as it could have been
[25:32.340 -> 25:34.720] because we use a different recorder and had different wires
[25:34.720 -> 25:36.840] because we didn't have what we normally got.
[25:36.840 -> 25:39.280] Thank God we brought the spare.
[25:39.280 -> 25:40.120] Yeah, the Zoom recorder.
[25:40.120 -> 25:41.160] Shout out to Peter for that.
[25:41.160 -> 25:42.560] Yeah, Peter, you legend.
[25:42.560 -> 25:43.520] Because if we didn't have that,
[25:43.520 -> 25:46.020] we would have been absolutely ruined.
[25:46.020 -> 25:47.500] But I remember when it was over.
[25:47.500 -> 25:49.720] I remember that moment where we just sat back
[25:49.720 -> 25:52.180] and we're like, oh my God.
[25:52.180 -> 25:54.560] And then we packed all the equipment away.
[25:54.560 -> 25:56.560] We walk out of there, we get in that car,
[25:56.560 -> 25:59.040] we get back to the hotel and you literally,
[25:59.040 -> 26:02.280] you literally fell straight to sleep.
[26:02.280 -> 26:03.680] Cause I went downstairs to get a drink.
[26:03.680 -> 26:06.680] Well, we watched the clips back for a little bit.
[26:06.680 -> 26:08.600] We watched the Alfa Romeo cause like straight away
[26:08.600 -> 26:10.920] we wanted to see what it was like.
[26:10.920 -> 26:11.760] Made one TikTok I think.
[26:11.760 -> 26:14.120] And then yeah, I just completely passed out.
[26:14.120 -> 26:15.320] You were locked outside the room.
[26:15.320 -> 26:16.720] I know, I didn't want to bang.
[26:16.720 -> 26:18.680] I was sat outside so I texted him and I was like,
[26:18.680 -> 26:20.080] fam I'm outside when you wake up.
[26:20.080 -> 26:22.580] But I was out there for ages so I started banging.
[26:23.760 -> 26:25.200] No, yeah, my first year in Formula One
[26:25.200 -> 26:28.080] has been a whirlwind of emotions.
[26:28.080 -> 26:31.460] It's been crazy getting to learn a new sport.
[26:32.880 -> 26:35.680] I definitely think we know a lot more than we think,
[26:35.680 -> 26:37.880] but there is like, even after talking about China
[26:37.880 -> 26:38.720] at the beginning of this ep,
[26:38.720 -> 26:40.800] I don't know anything about the Chinese Grand Prix.
[26:40.800 -> 26:42.160] And now I want to know about it.
[26:42.160 -> 26:43.360] I want to know what it's like
[26:43.360 -> 26:44.560] because it's coming to the calendar.
[26:44.560 -> 26:45.680] There's so much to take in.
[26:45.680 -> 26:48.880] I think we've done well in our first eight months.
[26:48.880 -> 26:49.720] Yeah.
[26:49.720 -> 26:51.480] We've definitely learned a lot of things you'd learn
[26:51.480 -> 26:53.720] later down the line from the guests we've had as well.
[26:53.720 -> 26:54.560] Yeah.
[26:54.560 -> 26:56.120] But there's like so much history to learn.
[26:56.120 -> 26:57.000] But there's nothing cut.
[26:57.000 -> 26:59.400] Yeah. That's literally, there's nothing current
[26:59.400 -> 27:00.600] like that we can't talk about.
[27:00.600 -> 27:03.180] No. And that's where people need to be able to draw a line
[27:03.180 -> 27:04.720] with like people that are new to the sport
[27:04.720 -> 27:07.700] or like anyone making content around F1 like no
[27:07.700 -> 27:12.340] one should be expected to know all the fucking history like I love football and
[27:12.340 -> 27:16.800] if you put me on a football show and ask me history I wouldn't know the answers
[27:16.800 -> 27:19.980] to them and I'd say I'm a massive football fan so what would you tell me
[27:19.980 -> 27:23.620] I'm not a real Formula One fan you know what I mean? Everyone's been a new fan at some
[27:23.620 -> 27:26.920] point like anyone who started watching in the nineties.
[27:26.920 -> 27:27.760] Yeah.
[27:27.760 -> 27:28.880] You'd have people before them saying,
[27:28.880 -> 27:32.760] oh, do you know Fan Banjo won the 1950s,
[27:32.760 -> 27:34.120] buddy, Jamaican Grand Prix.
[27:34.120 -> 27:34.960] Like, no, I didn't know that.
[27:34.960 -> 27:36.360] No, you are spot on mate.
[27:36.360 -> 27:38.200] That's where people need to remember.
[27:38.200 -> 27:40.040] Like everyone was a new fan once.
[27:40.040 -> 27:41.880] And the history, of course we're not gonna know it all.
[27:41.880 -> 27:44.080] Doesn't matter how you got into the sport.
[27:44.080 -> 27:45.840] Doesn't matter if like you watched
[27:45.840 -> 27:47.520] a Netflix documentary about it.
[27:47.520 -> 27:49.040] If you got into it, then you're into it.
[27:49.040 -> 27:49.860] That's what I mean.
[27:49.860 -> 27:50.700] I love the way we're learning though.
[27:50.700 -> 27:54.800] Cause like Mark Priestley told us loads of amazing stories
[27:54.800 -> 27:55.640] from back in the day.
[27:55.640 -> 27:56.460] Amazing stories, yeah.
[27:56.460 -> 27:57.300] Which we're kind of learning like, ah.
[27:57.300 -> 27:59.240] Which went around all the papers as well.
[27:59.240 -> 28:01.280] Yeah, we literally made it into the newspapers.
[28:01.280 -> 28:03.640] I assumed everyone would already know that story.
[28:03.640 -> 28:04.840] I think a lot of people did,
[28:04.840 -> 28:07.520] but maybe like we brought it back to life on the Pit Stop podcast.
[28:07.520 -> 28:12.400] Yeah or the way it was worded or I don't know. Either way, all press is good press right?
[28:12.400 -> 28:16.000] Is that what they say? Yeah, well I think so. Obviously as we know
[28:16.000 -> 28:17.800] in my first season- Pit Stop Boys are going to be famous.
[28:17.800 -> 28:20.440] What was that? We're going to get papped in Hollywood, I
[28:20.440 -> 28:21.440] can see it already. Really?
[28:21.440 -> 28:23.920] All the bright lights. Do you want to be a Bollywood actor?
[28:23.920 -> 28:25.000] I want to wear shades at night. You've already been in a Bollywood movie.
[28:25.000 -> 28:26.000] I have been in a Bollywood movie.
[28:26.000 -> 28:27.000] I'm a Bollywood actor already man.
[28:27.000 -> 28:28.000] That's been in a Bollywood movie, don't tell them.
[28:28.000 -> 28:29.000] Yeah, I was in a Bollywood movie.
[28:29.000 -> 28:30.000] It's called 83 and it's about when India won the cricket world cup in 1983.
[28:30.000 -> 28:31.000] I think it's 83.
[28:31.000 -> 28:32.000] Could it be 82?
[28:32.000 -> 28:33.000] Yeah.
[28:33.000 -> 28:34.000] I think it's 83.
[28:34.000 -> 28:35.000] And yeah, I was just a bystander at this cricket game and it's so annoying because they got
[28:35.000 -> 28:36.000] me in the middle of the night and I was like, I'm going to be in the middle of the night
[28:36.000 -> 28:37.000] and they were like, you're going to be in the middle of the night?
[28:37.000 -> 28:38.000] And I was like, I'm going to be in the middle of the night?
[28:38.000 -> 28:39.000] And they were like, you're going to be in the middle of the night?
[28:39.000 -> 28:40.000] And I was like, I'm going to be in the middle of the night?
[28:40.000 -> 28:41.000] And they were like, you're going to be in the middle of the night?
[28:41.000 -> 28:42.000] And I was like, I'm going to be in the middle of the night?
[28:42.000 -> 28:43.000] And they were like, you're going to be in the middle of the night?
[28:43.000 -> 28:44.000] And I was like, I'm going to be in the middle of the night?
[28:44.000 -> 28:48.080] And they were like, you're going to be in the middle of the night? And I was like, I'm going to be in the middle of the night? And they were like, you're going to be in the middle of the night? And I was like, I'm going to be in the middle of the? I think it's 83. And yeah, I was just a bystander at this cricket game.
[28:48.080 -> 28:51.760] And it's so annoying because they got the original guy
[28:51.760 -> 28:54.360] from 1983 who won it for them.
[28:54.360 -> 28:57.400] He made a cameo in the movie and he's in the crowd
[28:57.400 -> 28:59.800] and I'm stood next to him and a ball comes flying
[28:59.800 -> 29:02.400] into the crowd and he catches it and says something.
[29:02.400 -> 29:04.360] And I was trying so hard to be on camera.
[29:04.360 -> 29:10.200] I was stood there like, and it's only was only half my face like you see my ear. To be fair that's enough.
[29:10.200 -> 29:14.200] The rest of it's crumped up. I took up most of the screen already.
[29:14.200 -> 29:20.000] Yeah I'm a Bollywood actor so yeah do one.
[29:20.000 -> 29:23.540] Breaking news. We've got a little bit of breaking news. Not too breaking but it's
[29:23.540 -> 29:25.680] breaking because his broke.
[29:25.680 -> 29:27.560] Alex Albin's appendix went.
[29:27.560 -> 29:29.760] Good news is he's going to be back for Singapore.
[29:29.760 -> 29:30.600] He is.
[29:30.600 -> 29:31.420] It's great news, isn't it?
[29:31.420 -> 29:33.160] I think that's a bit early.
[29:33.160 -> 29:34.000] Why?
[29:34.000 -> 29:35.520] Remember when you had yours out?
[29:35.520 -> 29:38.480] Would you want to be racing a car with like 4,000 G?
[29:38.480 -> 29:40.200] How long's it be? Three weeks?
[29:40.200 -> 29:41.600] Will it be three weeks?
[29:41.600 -> 29:42.440] Or is it two?
[29:42.440 -> 29:43.260] Don't know.
[29:43.260 -> 29:44.100] No, I think it is three weeks.
[29:44.100 -> 29:46.000] Imagine doing an extreme sport.
[29:46.000 -> 29:49.200] Well, I know that they do appendix through a keyhole surgery now,
[29:49.200 -> 29:50.900] which creates less scarage,
[29:50.900 -> 29:53.300] but I tell you, it will still be sore after three weeks
[29:53.300 -> 29:57.000] because mine was still like an open wound after three weeks.
[29:57.000 -> 30:00.000] All that core, all those core muscles like constantly straining
[30:00.000 -> 30:01.100] right where you just had an armpit.
[30:01.100 -> 30:04.600] Yeah, but he would have had like the best medical care ever.
[30:04.600 -> 30:06.320] I'm sure he's probably fully fixed.
[30:06.320 -> 30:08.160] They probably just stabbed him with a couple of things.
[30:08.160 -> 30:10.240] I think put De Vries back in that car.
[30:10.800 -> 30:11.200] Really?
[30:12.080 -> 30:13.920] What, you reckon Nick De Vries would win one more race?
[30:13.920 -> 30:14.720] He did amazing.
[30:14.720 -> 30:18.960] No, I reckon put De Vries in Latifi's car and let Albin race still.
[30:21.360 -> 30:21.760] Really?
[30:23.360 -> 30:26.640] To be fair, it looks like that's what might happen next season. But I don't know,
[30:26.640 -> 30:29.740] I know a few people want the Vs, so we're just going to have to wait and see. Obviously
[30:29.740 -> 30:37.400] Pitstop isn't the place to come for the latest news. It depends what kind of news you enjoy.
[30:37.400 -> 30:42.320] Oh man, honestly, I just can't believe.
[30:42.320 -> 30:47.080] We are sad. We are sad. We are laying on the sofa in a pitch-black room
[30:47.720 -> 30:51.660] Our living room all the lights are off. There's not a single light on apart from the laptop
[30:55.000 -> 30:59.480] Time is 2310 this podcast in 50 minutes. Oh, we got to wrap this up
