[01:51.240 -> 01:52.240] Yeah, we can say it.
[01:52.240 -> 01:56.840] We think we may be in Miami, okay?
[01:56.840 -> 01:59.400] It's just a think, we can't 100% confirm, yeah?
[01:59.400 -> 02:01.280] We got any Florida fans out there?
[02:01.280 -> 02:04.840] Yeah, if there's any listeners out in Miami, if we do make it happen.
[02:04.840 -> 02:07.540] Make yourself known, because we're're gonna need a helping hand we're
[02:07.540 -> 02:11.020] gonna need a tour guide. We need people to show us around plus I'm a big big
[02:11.020 -> 02:14.300] foodie so I need people to show me where to eat. I need all the best
[02:14.300 -> 02:19.900] restaurants. Any cool stuff in Miami that we can do. I want to hold a baby
[02:19.900 -> 02:23.980] croc. I did that so I've done that I went to the Everglades and I didn't hold a
[02:23.980 -> 02:25.280] croc. What about an eel?
[02:25.280 -> 02:26.280] An eel?
[02:26.280 -> 02:27.280] Yeah
[02:27.280 -> 02:31.520] I want us to hold those little baby snapping crocodiles or alligators
[02:31.520 -> 02:32.520] The little baby ones
[02:32.520 -> 02:34.960] I'm shit scared of crocodiles and alligators
[02:34.960 -> 02:36.240] I'll hold a little caiman
[02:36.240 -> 02:37.240] Yeah
[02:37.240 -> 02:38.880] But yeah we may be going to Miami which is exciting
[02:38.880 -> 02:42.120] I'm gonna put a little caiman on your little Johnny
[02:42.120 -> 02:43.120] Okay yes yes
[02:43.120 -> 02:45.680] Nice nice Australia is. Australia is here.
[02:45.680 -> 02:46.520] Australia is here.
[02:46.520 -> 02:47.800] The paddock looks amazing.
[02:47.800 -> 02:50.200] I've seen loads of clips and content from the paddock.
[02:50.200 -> 02:51.640] Nice little grassy areas here and there.
[02:51.640 -> 02:52.480] I know.
[02:52.480 -> 02:53.300] With some outdoor seating.
[02:53.300 -> 02:54.600] Some nice outdoor seating, some chairs.
[02:54.600 -> 02:56.280] You can see where we would have sat if we were there.
[02:56.280 -> 02:58.180] Yeah, I know.
[02:58.180 -> 03:01.200] But next year, next year we'll get to go to Australia.
[03:01.200 -> 03:02.240] There is always next year, yeah.
[03:02.240 -> 03:03.760] I have seen a lot of messages from people.
[03:03.760 -> 03:06.000] We are aware we have a reasonably big audience in
[03:06.000 -> 03:09.960] Australia so for you guys that are going, sorry we really thought we were going to
[03:09.960 -> 03:14.600] be there, it didn't go to plan? It didn't pan out but you know there's always
[03:14.600 -> 03:18.280] there's always next year so don't worry. It's right around the corner on a
[03:18.280 -> 03:22.280] weird times, really weird times for us, we're gonna be waking up at like 4 or 5
[03:22.280 -> 03:27.760] a.m. same as we did last year. We'll do the same same as last year we'll get the Maccies in, we'll set the
[03:27.760 -> 03:30.600] camera up maybe we'll do a little watch along it's always quite funny because
[03:30.600 -> 03:33.600] we're always I think Australia is a good one to do a watch along for
[03:33.600 -> 03:37.240] yeah I think we should definitely do that maybe we should get drunk the night
[03:37.240 -> 03:39.680] before okay Saturday night, I'm all in for that
[03:39.680 -> 03:43.920] sleep maybe three hours well if we watch the F2 as well F2 will be pre-drinks mate
[03:43.920 -> 03:46.680] oh it starts at midnight doesn't it? F2 starts at like midnight.
[03:46.680 -> 03:48.200] Alex Jakes is doing the commentary.
[03:48.200 -> 03:49.720] And there's a fight on.
[03:49.720 -> 03:51.440] No, AJ fight?
[03:51.440 -> 03:53.360] Where's AJ fighting?
[03:53.360 -> 03:55.440] He's fighting across the road over there in the O2.
[03:55.440 -> 03:57.480] Okay, so not abroad on a ridiculous time.
[03:57.480 -> 03:59.320] So we'll have the AJ fight, then F2.
[03:59.320 -> 04:01.360] We have AJ about 10, 10.30,
[04:01.360 -> 04:02.800] and then we'll have the F2,
[04:02.800 -> 04:05.360] and then maybe a couple hours of sleep.
[04:05.360 -> 04:06.200] Yeah.
[04:06.200 -> 04:07.280] How are you feeling about the Australian Grand Prix
[04:07.280 -> 04:08.120] this weekend?
[04:08.120 -> 04:09.160] Expecting any big surprises?
[04:11.520 -> 04:12.920] I'm expecting Alonso to win.
[04:12.920 -> 04:15.360] Ooh, that was my prediction while I jumped the gun there.
[04:15.360 -> 04:16.200] Whoa.
[04:16.200 -> 04:17.020] Well, there you go.
[04:17.020 -> 04:17.860] I've blown it already.
[04:17.860 -> 04:19.880] So you're going Alonso is going to win
[04:19.880 -> 04:20.880] the Australian Grand Prix.
[04:20.880 -> 04:21.720] I am.
[04:21.720 -> 04:22.720] We'll go for your full podium at the end.
[04:22.720 -> 04:24.880] We'll do it later, but...
[04:24.880 -> 04:25.440] That's bold mate.
[04:25.440 -> 04:26.280] That is bold.
[04:26.280 -> 04:28.120] There's, like I said to you before,
[04:28.120 -> 04:31.400] there are cracks starting to form within Red Bull.
[04:31.400 -> 04:32.240] Okay.
[04:32.240 -> 04:33.060] Okay.
[04:33.060 -> 04:34.560] There is stuff happening.
[04:34.560 -> 04:38.400] So there's going to be a bad atmosphere in there,
[04:38.400 -> 04:39.240] in the Red Bull camp.
[04:39.240 -> 04:41.040] Who's joining Red Bull this week?
[04:41.040 -> 04:41.880] Who's joining Red Bull this week?
[04:41.880 -> 04:42.720] Yeah, last week,
[04:42.720 -> 04:43.560] so Logan Sargent's going to Red Bull?
[04:43.560 -> 04:44.840] What, we're matching up in Collie?
[04:44.840 -> 04:49.600] Who's going? Logan Sargent. Logan Sargent is never, ever going to's joining Red Bull this week? Yeah, last week. Logan Sargent's going to Red Bull. What, the match for Safford's Matches up in Cawley? Who's going? Logan Sargent! Logan Sargent is never ever going to be at Red Bull.
[04:49.600 -> 04:52.560] Ever. Maybe he won't, just like Alonso will never have a chance at winning another
[04:52.560 -> 04:57.840] championship. I, you are spot on. All last year I gave it to you hard. I remember specifically
[04:57.840 -> 05:02.400] looking at you and laughing and saying Alonso will never go to another team and I, you've proven me.
[05:02.400 -> 05:08.960] There you go. You've proven me wrong. So anything can happen and with all the bad stuff happening at Red Bull at the moment
[05:08.960 -> 05:14.720] there is room for another person to capitalise on that and sneak in and maybe take a little
[05:14.720 -> 05:20.080] cheeky podium. However I think we should take a break on discussing any change of drivers at Red
[05:20.080 -> 05:27.600] Bull because I think that may have been our main talking point for the last like five episodes. And also I did see a video of Jos Verstappen
[05:27.600 -> 05:29.560] going and thanking and saying,
[05:29.560 -> 05:31.440] well done to Checo after the race.
[05:31.440 -> 05:32.280] I didn't see that.
[05:32.280 -> 05:33.100] Well, I saw it.
[05:33.100 -> 05:33.940] Well, I didn't see that.
[05:33.940 -> 05:35.520] So that clears up a lot of media.
[05:35.520 -> 05:38.760] So some people say you only believe stuff with your eyes.
[05:38.760 -> 05:39.960] Well, this is interesting.
[05:39.960 -> 05:40.800] Everything else is hearsay.
[05:40.800 -> 05:43.680] Your dad was saying the other day about news.
[05:43.680 -> 05:44.520] Who was saying that?
[05:44.520 -> 05:45.360] About the news. How crazy is it? Like your dad was saying that there's about news. Who was saying that? About the news.
[05:45.360 -> 05:46.180] How crazy is it?
[05:46.180 -> 05:48.320] Like your dad was saying that there's so much fake shit
[05:48.320 -> 05:49.560] online in the news these days,
[05:49.560 -> 05:50.600] you never know what's real.
[05:50.600 -> 05:51.440] Yeah.
[05:51.440 -> 05:54.120] But back in the day, all you had was a newspaper
[05:54.120 -> 05:56.160] and then who's deciding what's real or not.
[05:56.160 -> 05:57.120] Exactly.
[05:57.120 -> 05:59.160] That person themselves can't even speak out.
[05:59.160 -> 06:01.040] Really, you've got more real news now.
[06:01.040 -> 06:02.360] Much more fake news.
[06:02.360 -> 06:04.400] Imagine how much fake news is in back in the day
[06:04.400 -> 06:06.640] in the newspaper. You could have been a celebrity, woken up one
[06:06.640 -> 06:11.080] morning and seen a story about you and had no way of, no way of addressing it.
[06:11.080 -> 06:14.680] Everyone could have just believed that you'd done that. Well thank God that we live
[06:14.680 -> 06:18.000] in the age that we do. Yeah. Because there could be some fake news written about us
[06:18.000 -> 06:22.680] mate. But I have got some news that isn't fake and it's about Mike Crack. Mike Crack.
[06:22.680 -> 06:25.360] Who? Mike Crack. Mike Crack. Who? Mike Crack.
[06:25.360 -> 06:26.180] Mike Crack.
[06:26.180 -> 06:27.020] Oh, Mike Crack.
[06:27.020 -> 06:28.160] Yes, okay, guess what?
[06:28.160 -> 06:28.980] What's that?
[06:28.980 -> 06:31.120] He confirmed that they looked at getting Sebastian Vettel
[06:31.120 -> 06:32.040] at the beginning of the season
[06:32.040 -> 06:33.160] when Lance Stroll was injured.
[06:33.160 -> 06:34.000] Don't believe it.
[06:34.000 -> 06:34.820] They did.
[06:34.820 -> 06:36.040] He confirmed, they considered it,
[06:36.040 -> 06:37.960] which means we could have had Vettel and Alonso
[06:37.960 -> 06:38.800] in that first race,
[06:38.800 -> 06:41.040] but they didn't want to message him because they felt bad.
[06:41.040 -> 06:41.880] What about drugging?
[06:41.880 -> 06:42.700] Because he wanted time with his family.
[06:42.700 -> 06:44.920] Yeah, but they, well, I'm guessing they may have thought
[06:44.920 -> 06:46.680] Lance was out for a while and they thought,
[06:46.680 -> 06:48.680] oh, we need a longer term replacement.
[06:48.680 -> 06:52.440] So they looked at Vettel and that would have been,
[06:52.440 -> 06:55.240] imagine that, he's retired on the last race of the season
[06:55.240 -> 06:56.080] and he's back for the first race.
[06:56.080 -> 07:00.680] Vettel alongside Alonso for a Saudi Arabian race.
[07:00.680 -> 07:01.720] That would have been exciting.
[07:01.720 -> 07:04.240] Well, it's Bahrain for the first race, mate.
[07:04.240 -> 07:05.040] It was. Was it the first race? Bahrain, Saudi and then Australia. I was Bahrain for the first race mate. It was.
[07:05.040 -> 07:05.880] Was it the first race?
[07:05.880 -> 07:07.280] Bahrain, Saudi and then Australia.
[07:07.280 -> 07:08.760] I thought Lance was in the first race.
[07:08.760 -> 07:10.440] Yeah Lance was.
[07:10.440 -> 07:12.040] Yeah.
[07:12.040 -> 07:13.480] That's what I'm saying but he was injured wasn't he?
[07:13.480 -> 07:14.320] They were saying if he wasn't.
[07:14.320 -> 07:15.140] Was it Bahrain?
[07:15.140 -> 07:16.320] I thought it was Saudi.
[07:16.320 -> 07:17.160] No Bahrain.
[07:17.160 -> 07:18.680] He was injured for all of them wasn't he?
[07:18.680 -> 07:19.500] Bloody hell.
[07:19.500 -> 07:21.720] Yeah Lance has been a trooper this season.
[07:21.720 -> 07:22.680] Of course he was.
[07:22.680 -> 07:24.360] George Russell.
[07:24.360 -> 07:25.400] No was he? Topless picture? Is a smart season. Of course he was. George Russell. No, was he?
[07:25.400 -> 07:26.240] Topless picture?
[07:26.240 -> 07:27.920] Is a smart guy.
[07:27.920 -> 07:28.760] Is he?
[07:28.760 -> 07:29.580] Yeah.
[07:29.580 -> 07:30.420] What's he done?
[07:30.420 -> 07:34.440] Well, Stefano Domenicalli reckons
[07:34.440 -> 07:37.600] that there should only be no practice sessions on a weekend.
[07:37.600 -> 07:38.440] Yeah.
[07:38.440 -> 07:39.260] I was gonna say just one,
[07:39.260 -> 07:40.340] but he reckons there should be none.
[07:40.340 -> 07:41.880] Now I agree with the guy.
[07:41.880 -> 07:43.800] I don't think there should be practice sessions either.
[07:43.800 -> 07:47.000] George Russell has come out and said maybe there should just be one.
[07:47.000 -> 07:54.320] Wow, what, because originally it was no Friday practice and now they're saying no practice.
[07:54.320 -> 07:55.320] Doesn't it change?
[07:55.320 -> 07:56.800] Like sometimes on a Saturday morning they have a...
[07:56.800 -> 07:59.000] Yeah, it's always three, always three practices.
[07:59.000 -> 08:02.320] But isn't there sometimes FP3 on a Saturday morning before qualy?
[08:02.320 -> 08:04.160] Is that how it works?
[08:04.160 -> 08:05.940] You'd have... Are they all on the same day?
[08:05.940 -> 08:06.780] It depends.
[08:06.780 -> 08:08.580] I'm pretty sure they do FP1 on Friday
[08:08.580 -> 08:11.140] and then FP2 and 3 on Saturday before quali, don't they?
[08:11.140 -> 08:12.800] Don't know, we should know that.
[08:12.800 -> 08:13.640] Maybe it makes sense.
[08:13.640 -> 08:15.820] Maybe it's, no, it's FP1 and FP2 on Friday
[08:15.820 -> 08:18.100] and then FP3 on Saturday before quali.
[08:18.100 -> 08:19.820] Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I thought.
[08:19.820 -> 08:21.620] Well, so they're saying only one on Friday
[08:21.620 -> 08:23.060] and George is saying only one on Saturday.
[08:23.060 -> 08:24.300] That's what George is saying.
[08:24.300 -> 08:27.360] No, Stefano de Mellciolo said ax them completely,
[08:27.360 -> 08:29.800] which I think we should do it,
[08:29.800 -> 08:31.700] because it would make quali more fun.
[08:32.560 -> 08:34.400] I think because the drivers-
[08:34.400 -> 08:35.360] The drivers wouldn't know the track as much.
[08:35.360 -> 08:36.200] Wouldn't be able to drive,
[08:36.200 -> 08:38.560] wouldn't be able to remember the track from last year,
[08:38.560 -> 08:41.560] so quali would be a lot more intense.
[08:41.560 -> 08:43.040] You could argue that they don't,
[08:43.040 -> 08:45.540] all the cars aren't out the same track in practice anyway,
[08:45.540 -> 08:47.740] so they probably only do about one session
[08:47.740 -> 08:49.840] across the three sessions of going out.
[08:49.840 -> 08:52.880] So you'd just have more cars on the track, basically,
[08:52.880 -> 08:54.480] because a lot of them sit out for a while.
[08:54.480 -> 08:55.840] In one practice?
[08:55.840 -> 08:56.800] Yeah, if you got rid of them,
[08:56.800 -> 08:58.080] you'd have a lot more cars on the track.
[08:58.080 -> 09:01.040] That's pretty much the only thing that would happen, really.
[09:01.040 -> 09:01.880] Yeah.
[09:01.880 -> 09:03.160] They'd still probably spend the same amount of time
[09:03.160 -> 09:04.000] on the track.
[09:04.000 -> 09:08.540] I mean, even if there was more cars on track, they would just be practicing to get round
[09:08.540 -> 09:09.540] other people.
[09:09.540 -> 09:11.960] But why do you think they want to get rid of a Friday session, is it?
[09:11.960 -> 09:14.100] Because I don't think anyone watches it, mate.
[09:14.100 -> 09:15.900] To be completely honest with you.
[09:15.900 -> 09:20.900] We watch it, yeah, but I mean it's on the TV, I'm on my phone, maybe we're editing
[09:20.900 -> 09:21.900] some clips.
[09:21.900 -> 09:22.900] Practice is hard to get excited about.
[09:22.900 -> 09:25.200] If there's quali on TV, I'll put my phone away, watch it.
[09:25.200 -> 09:27.200] Same with the race, but with practice,
[09:27.200 -> 09:28.960] it's just kind of on.
[09:28.960 -> 09:31.240] I don't know, if anyone else agrees with us out there
[09:31.240 -> 09:33.480] or doesn't agree with us, send us a DM and let us know.
[09:33.480 -> 09:35.080] But as far as I'm concerned,
[09:35.080 -> 09:37.800] I don't really care to watch practice that much.
[09:37.800 -> 09:38.840] Could they change it though?
[09:38.840 -> 09:40.100] Could they make it more exciting?
[09:40.100 -> 09:42.040] Could the fastest time in practice get a point?
[09:42.040 -> 09:44.760] Well, maybe just more sprint races.
[09:44.760 -> 09:46.000] Okay.
[09:46.000 -> 09:48.000] Do you reckon that might be what they're trying to do?
[09:48.000 -> 09:51.000] Because they've kind of trialled sprint races in F2, haven't they?
[09:51.000 -> 09:53.000] Like, there's a sprint race in every F2 one now.
[09:53.000 -> 09:55.000] In every race, actually, yeah, there is.
[09:55.000 -> 09:59.000] So could you kind of feel like maybe they're trialling it in F2 and they may bring it over?
[09:59.000 -> 10:02.000] Well, George reckons something about the sprints as well.
[10:02.000 -> 10:03.000] Well, you've been texting him?
[10:03.000 -> 10:05.560] I've been texting George Russell. Yeah, nice.
[10:05.560 -> 10:08.480] And he said, an alternative structure
[10:08.480 -> 10:09.720] which incorporates a sprint race
[10:09.720 -> 10:11.480] to form the Grand Prix grid
[10:11.480 -> 10:13.720] with traditional qualifying moving to Friday
[10:13.720 -> 10:15.480] to determine the sprint starting order.
[10:15.480 -> 10:17.560] So yeah, quali would determine the sprint,
[10:17.560 -> 10:19.400] sprint would determine the race.
[10:19.400 -> 10:21.120] So George basically wants sprints,
[10:21.120 -> 10:23.880] but he doesn't want to lose the Friday session.
[10:23.880 -> 10:24.720] Yeah.
[10:24.720 -> 10:27.080] Whereas Stefano is saying, wipe the Friday session, isn't he?
[10:27.080 -> 10:29.160] And I think that's from a business point of view.
[10:29.160 -> 10:31.040] He's just saying, axe practice, because no one wants to.
[10:31.040 -> 10:32.320] Well, it would save them so much money.
[10:32.320 -> 10:34.240] But people would watch a sprint.
[10:34.240 -> 10:36.480] They'll have one day less of having to put everything together.
[10:36.480 -> 10:41.720] And also, since like, watching more Formula 2 and hearing more from these Formula 2 drivers,
[10:41.720 -> 10:47.160] funny how a lot of people, and I didn't know this until recently, but funny how a lot of people say F1's a bit boring
[10:47.160 -> 10:49.120] and F2 is the one to watch.
[10:49.120 -> 10:52.560] And a lot of people agree, like F2 is definitely
[10:52.560 -> 10:54.860] one to watch, it's exciting as hell,
[10:54.860 -> 10:57.180] the cars are kind of more competitive with each other,
[10:57.180 -> 10:59.880] and they have more sprints, and they have reverse grid.
[10:59.880 -> 11:03.120] Well, the more races you have where one driver
[11:03.120 -> 11:04.820] is really far in front, like Max,
[11:04.820 -> 11:05.280] is where people start to switch off. Whereas if you have where one driver is really far in front like Max is where people
[11:05.280 -> 11:06.840] start to switch off.
[11:06.840 -> 11:12.040] Whereas if you have things like reverse grids, at least then you get to see them having to
[11:12.040 -> 11:13.280] proper race someone.
[11:13.280 -> 11:14.280] You know what I mean?
[11:14.280 -> 11:18.600] If Max goes and wins every race and he comes from 10th, fair enough.
[11:18.600 -> 11:20.720] To be fair, fair enough that he does anyway.
[11:20.720 -> 11:24.440] But you kind of want to see how good someone is every week.
[11:24.440 -> 11:27.240] My dad just reckons every driver should drive every car.
[11:28.240 -> 11:32.040] Well, like one race, every single race is randomized.
[11:32.400 -> 11:34.320] I was thinking this last night, the way they could do it.
[11:34.320 -> 11:38.800] What about if every year all the drivers weren't assigned to a team?
[11:38.840 -> 11:41.960] Like, this is how we say, you've said this before, but what about
[11:41.960 -> 11:43.600] if every team had to make a car?
[11:44.000 -> 11:45.280] Like go, go to testing
[11:45.280 -> 11:50.120] with a car, and whichever car got the fastest time at testing was the car that every team
[11:50.120 -> 11:54.880] had to use, but the team that got it right get to pick two drivers first.
[11:54.880 -> 11:58.880] And then the slowest guy works down the order of who turned up with the quickest car and
[11:58.880 -> 12:00.480] they pick their two drivers.
[12:00.480 -> 12:03.320] So whoever turns up with the quickest car gets first pick basically.
[12:03.320 -> 12:05.540] So there's incentive for the teams and
[12:09.280 -> 12:10.760] Then they pick that they get to win the two drivers. They get to pick it's all a bit
[12:16.340 -> 12:16.940] At the moment everyone would have the same car because a lot of people share the same engine don't they a lot of people don't
[12:20.940 -> 12:21.620] It's mad. I actually find it crazy how the cars can be so different
[12:25.960 -> 12:28.640] Like I wonder how different they are if you rip them to shreds, like looking at like position of the bolts and wires.
[12:28.640 -> 12:29.480] I wonder.
[12:29.480 -> 12:30.320] Well, like I said before,
[12:30.320 -> 12:32.700] the F, I thought all the F2 cars were exactly the same,
[12:32.700 -> 12:34.600] but I mean, they clearly they're not.
[12:35.480 -> 12:36.600] So I don't know.
[12:36.600 -> 12:38.120] Speaking of different cars,
[12:38.120 -> 12:40.840] Mercedes and Red Bull, two very different cars.
[12:40.840 -> 12:42.600] Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen,
[12:42.600 -> 12:44.000] two very different drivers.
[12:44.000 -> 12:44.840] Yes.
[12:44.840 -> 12:45.080] Speaking of Lewis Hamilton, Michael Masseyen two very different drivers yes speaking of
[12:45.080 -> 12:49.320] Lewis Hamilton Michael Massey is obviously at the race this weekend
[12:49.320 -> 12:56.120] because he's Australian really yeah Wow how do you know Michaels there because I
[12:56.120 -> 13:00.240] read an article about it oh fab spat it was credible sources and there's photos
[13:00.240 -> 13:04.520] of him there so I can only assume mate this is true this one yeah I would
[13:04.520 -> 13:08.660] assume that Lewis doesn't mind the Australian Grand Prix but it's not good
[13:08.660 -> 13:13.180] for Max is it it's not good for Max Michael Massey's there it's going to
[13:13.180 -> 13:18.220] create a bit of tension in the air Red Bull haven't won at Australia
[13:18.220 -> 13:24.420] since 2011 Max DNF there last year so there could be some I don't know are you
[13:24.420 -> 13:25.240] thinking anything crazy
[13:25.240 -> 13:28.520] could happen this weekend? Any crazy prediction? I know you've said Alonso's
[13:28.520 -> 13:31.600] gonna win and we'll do your podium but do you think... can you predict anyone
[13:31.600 -> 13:35.200] DNFing? Because I could see Max not finishing the race. I think Red Bull have
[13:35.200 -> 13:38.800] had a few problems that they've like got away with so far. Like in qualifying
[13:38.800 -> 13:41.640] they had a problem, it looked like Max might have had a problem at the end of
[13:41.640 -> 13:44.840] last race and they're getting away with it. I think there's just a lot of things
[13:44.840 -> 13:46.560] happening at the moment which are going to
[13:47.200 -> 13:51.360] affect all the teams, it's going to be in the air, you know, they're talking about banning,
[13:52.000 -> 13:55.840] or they're saying it's against the rules to jump on the cage.
[13:55.840 -> 13:56.560] Banned.
[13:56.560 -> 13:57.040] Yeah.
[13:57.040 -> 13:57.840] From now on.
[13:57.840 -> 14:01.360] So that is going to put teams in a weird mindset.
[14:01.360 -> 14:06.640] Let's talk about that, because that is like taking out something so major
[14:06.640 -> 14:09.400] that they have banned the teams from now climbing
[14:09.400 -> 14:12.200] on the fence when the teams come over the line
[14:12.200 -> 14:14.240] and they celebrate, they can't do that anymore.
[14:14.240 -> 14:16.920] I remember saying to you on the pod or at a race
[14:16.920 -> 14:18.600] that in like a couple of years time,
[14:18.600 -> 14:20.240] you will definitely not be allowed to do that.
[14:20.240 -> 14:22.320] I think yeah, every time you watch it,
[14:22.320 -> 14:23.160] it's just dangerous.
[14:23.160 -> 14:24.000] It does look dangerous.
[14:24.000 -> 14:25.240] You can see it's dangerous. It doesn't look serious
[14:27.240 -> 14:28.700] To be honest rip the heart out
[14:30.640 -> 14:36.440] Asking me do I think it's actually dangerous? No, I think fucking they're grown men grown women if they want to hang off a fucking pit wall
[14:36.480 -> 14:42.840] Then let them do it if you fall into the track and get obliterated by an f1 car. It's your own fault
[14:43.520 -> 14:46.960] Yeah obliterated by an f1 car it's your own fault yeah do you know i mean is it is
[14:46.960 -> 14:50.320] it actually that dangerous like flying in an airplane that's pretty fucking
[14:50.320 -> 14:53.120] dangerous but people are allowed to do it i get it's a shame though for the
[14:53.120 -> 14:56.720] teams in the garages because that's their way of celebrating isn't it like
[14:56.720 -> 14:59.600] now they're just going to be in the garage not out on track then going to
[14:59.600 -> 15:02.160] the podium i'd love to know who's calling the shots
[15:02.160 -> 15:05.840] on that and i don't reckon that will happen. When it's the championship,
[15:05.840 -> 15:08.000] I reckon that everyone on the team will take the fine.
[15:08.000 -> 15:10.480] And still, because it says the teams will be fined for it.
[15:10.480 -> 15:12.440] But I reckon if someone's winning the championship,
[15:12.440 -> 15:14.840] that'll still be kind of straight up there.
[15:14.840 -> 15:15.680] Yeah, it's just a fine.
[15:15.680 -> 15:16.520] It's just a fine.
[15:16.520 -> 15:17.360] Red Bull ain't going to give a shit, are they?
[15:17.360 -> 15:18.760] Abu Dhabi, which another race,
[15:18.760 -> 15:19.800] which we could be at this year.
[15:19.800 -> 15:21.440] Oh, you're giving so much away.
[15:21.440 -> 15:22.360] Will be an amazing one.
[15:22.360 -> 15:23.760] And I think if Red Bull win it,
[15:23.760 -> 15:24.960] or even if Aston Martin win it,
[15:24.960 -> 15:26.240] there's no chance you're not getting Mikey
[15:26.240 -> 15:28.400] on that fucking pit wall, hanging over the edge.
[15:28.400 -> 15:30.880] And I want to be right there with them.
[15:30.880 -> 15:33.060] And so let's jump straight into what you've said
[15:33.060 -> 15:34.080] about Fernando Alonso.
[15:34.080 -> 15:38.840] You think, so he's come third twice,
[15:38.840 -> 15:40.680] and you think this could be the week
[15:40.680 -> 15:42.660] that Fernando Alonso jumps the Red Bulls
[15:42.660 -> 15:44.560] and takes a pole and wins.
[15:44.560 -> 15:52.300] Could be. It could be. He'd go top of the driver standards wouldn't he? If Max
[15:52.300 -> 15:55.620] DNF'd then he won. Depends where because Checo's only one point behind Max so.
[15:55.620 -> 16:02.500] That is a battle isn't it? Yep. Yeah I don't know. Look who knows I'm just excited. I'm
[16:02.500 -> 16:07.440] not excited to be getting up for it but I'm excited to watch it to be fair getting up for it in the morning
[16:07.440 -> 16:13.000] It is quite nice because like you're getting up for an event. Mmm, and the Australians like it because it's the first time
[16:13.360 -> 16:18.540] I'm gonna say they can watch it at home that Sergio Perez comes third. I
[16:19.640 -> 16:22.300] Think Sergio Perez will get points for Red Bull
[16:24.840 -> 16:25.820] Yeah, as well Sergio Perez third get points for Red Bull. Big points. These are predictions. Yeah, yeah. You're probably just lying in.
[16:25.820 -> 16:26.660] Yeah, might as well.
[16:26.660 -> 16:29.920] Sergio Perez third, Charles Leclerc second,
[16:29.920 -> 16:31.680] cause he won it last year.
[16:31.680 -> 16:36.440] And he's a good driver and the Ferrari isn't slow.
[16:36.440 -> 16:38.200] So let's see.
[16:38.200 -> 16:40.720] And I am sticking with it.
[16:40.720 -> 16:42.720] I'm going Oscar Piastri to win.
[16:42.720 -> 16:45.080] I don't know how it's gonna happen,
[16:45.080 -> 16:47.100] because he's in a tractor,
[16:47.100 -> 16:50.600] but he's Australian and I want him to win.
[16:50.600 -> 16:54.240] So, you've got to put it out into the ether, right?
[16:54.240 -> 16:55.280] To the ether, exactly.
[16:55.280 -> 16:56.760] The ether, the ethernet.
[16:56.760 -> 16:58.360] Exactly, no, I like that.
[16:58.360 -> 17:00.640] I mean, it's his home race, there's a good chance he does.
[17:00.640 -> 17:02.840] Yeah, and if he doesn't win, it'll probably be Max,
[17:02.840 -> 17:04.060] but I'd like it to be Oscar.
[17:04.060 -> 17:08.560] I guess his family will be there, won't they? Yeah, yeah, I assume so. Yeah, if he doesn't win it will probably be Max but I'd like it to be Oscar. I guess his family will be there won't they? Yeah I assume so. Yeah everyone will be there.
[17:08.560 -> 17:13.280] That's nice for him because it's only his third race of being an F1 so his parents will
[17:13.280 -> 17:16.880] be able to come watch that. Jack Dewan's dad's probably going to be there as well because
[17:16.880 -> 17:21.560] they're Australian too. I think Oscar's had an amazing start to his F1 career. He's not
[17:21.560 -> 17:25.480] in a quick car so no one is expecting him to be top three
[17:25.480 -> 17:29.120] but when you went it you got Q3 last race. If you're getting a Q3 in that
[17:29.120 -> 17:33.160] McLaren, fair play, that's enough. Yeah I mean where do you think this puts Lando
[17:33.160 -> 17:37.480] now? What kind of mindset does that put Lando in? I feel like Lando's
[17:37.480 -> 17:41.840] been kind of plain sailing a little bit. I think Lando's just had a shit car and
[17:41.840 -> 17:44.920] he knows he's got a shit car. There's only so long you can turn up to
[17:44.920 -> 17:47.880] work every day and know you haven't got the resources and be excited about it.
[17:47.880 -> 17:49.000] Like, that's it.
[17:49.000 -> 17:50.880] I feel like Lando's been chilling a little bit though.
[17:50.880 -> 17:52.880] I feel like this is what Lando needs.
[17:52.880 -> 17:53.600] What?
[17:53.600 -> 17:58.480] Lando has known that he's not in a very competitive car for the last couple of years.
[17:58.480 -> 17:59.920] So he's just been chilling.
[17:59.920 -> 18:03.600] He's like, I can't compete with Ferrari, can't compete with Red Bull.
[18:04.480 -> 18:10.000] Maybe they can with Mercedes now, but I have to think he's accepted the situation that he's been in the last couple years
[18:10.000 -> 18:14.280] And so he's been chillin. I do definitely think Oscar is a good teammate for Lando. So
[18:14.800 -> 18:20.380] For what reason though? Do you think they'll help each other out or do you think no? Yeah, I just think it'll work
[18:20.380 -> 18:24.680] I don't really see there being that many problems between the two of them. I think the opposite
[18:24.920 -> 18:27.160] Do you actually see problems between them?
[18:27.160 -> 18:28.160] 100%.
[18:28.160 -> 18:31.360] I think the problems only come if Oscar goes and out-qualifies him all the time.
[18:31.360 -> 18:38.080] Well that's what I mean, how do you think Lando felt after Oscar went through at Saudi?
[18:38.080 -> 18:41.600] That's gonna piss you off, this guy, this is his second race in Formula 1.
[18:41.600 -> 18:43.240] He let him through though, he let him through.
[18:43.240 -> 18:44.240] Let him through because he was quicker?
[18:44.240 -> 18:46.840] No, yeah, but that's because the tyre management
[18:46.840 -> 18:48.200] and everything, Oskar was on hards
[18:48.200 -> 18:49.720] that were quite fresh,
[18:49.720 -> 18:51.720] and Lando had been out on mediums for a while.
[18:51.720 -> 18:52.620] Still gonna piss you off.
[18:52.620 -> 18:53.640] Yeah, don't get me wrong,
[18:53.640 -> 18:54.940] it's probably not the nicest thing in the world,
[18:54.940 -> 18:57.880] but Lando's definitely accepted that car's not quick enough.
[18:57.880 -> 18:59.640] He's not going away like,
[18:59.640 -> 19:00.480] yeah, but that's-
[19:00.480 -> 19:01.300] I could have done more,
[19:01.300 -> 19:02.140] because he probably couldn't.
[19:02.140 -> 19:02.980] But that's the thing though,
[19:02.980 -> 19:04.620] that the race is now in the team.
[19:04.620 -> 19:08.260] The race is now between them two. If miss a if McLaren can't race anyone else
[19:08.460 -> 19:14.940] Then it's between them two. It's gonna get fucking spicy mate. It's gonna get spicy tuna and cheese pasty
[19:14.940 -> 19:20.180] I think it's worth keeping eyes on Alpine because I you can all the positive media in the world
[19:20.180 -> 19:21.740] I do not think
[19:21.740 -> 19:26.740] Gasly and ockham will make it for a whole season as best mates. Easy to forget about them as well.
[19:26.740 -> 19:30.400] Easy to forget that they didn't like each other at all, you know?
[19:30.400 -> 19:32.400] There could be some serious shit going down on the track this year.
[19:32.400 -> 19:34.400] I really could see that explode.
[19:34.400 -> 19:36.400] Do you know what I think would explode?
[19:36.400 -> 19:38.400] What we spoke about earlier, right?
[19:38.400 -> 19:40.400] Where me and Jake live, without disclosing too much,
[19:40.400 -> 19:44.400] there are talks of the F1 doing a Formula 1 race here.
[19:44.400 -> 19:45.640] It's in East
[19:45.640 -> 19:51.340] London, we're right next to where the Formula E is at the XL, so there's kind of already
[19:51.340 -> 19:57.080] half like stuff there for it to be an F1 race for the pits and that. And they've kind of
[19:57.080 -> 20:01.640] they've shown where the track would go and guys, it's like outside our flat.
[20:01.640 -> 20:02.640] It's literally outside our door.
[20:02.640 -> 20:06.120] You could look out my bedroom window and look down and you'd be able to see the Formula
[20:06.120 -> 20:07.440] One cars going past.
[20:07.440 -> 20:11.640] So a few things, sublet the flat for a weekend.
[20:11.640 -> 20:13.960] We can make a shitload of money from people staying in our flat for a weekend.
[20:13.960 -> 20:18.000] We could put like a thousand, what are they called, bunk beds in here and we can get everyone
[20:18.000 -> 20:19.000] to come and stay.
[20:19.000 -> 20:20.000] We could charge out like £50 a ticket.
[20:20.000 -> 20:22.800] It's probably against the law but yeah, we could do that.
[20:22.800 -> 20:26.000] Yeah, maybe we'd cut that bit out of the pod and do it anyway.
[20:26.000 -> 20:28.000] Another thing is that, though, on a serious note,
[20:28.000 -> 20:29.660] it'd be amazing to watch the race there.
[20:29.660 -> 20:32.640] It'd be amazing for us to be able to walk to and from
[20:32.640 -> 20:33.680] our flat to the race.
[20:33.680 -> 20:37.200] But three, oh my god, if we, because there's
[20:37.200 -> 20:38.760] a few hotels around where we live as well,
[20:38.760 -> 20:40.720] all the drivers would be put up in the hotels.
[20:40.720 -> 20:43.640] We could have a sick pod episode.
[20:43.640 -> 20:44.920] Yeah, we could recruit everyone.
[20:44.920 -> 20:46.880] Where there's just like half the grid, 10 of the hotels, we could have a sick pod episode. Where there's just like half the grid,
[20:46.880 -> 20:48.720] 10 of the drivers on our sofas,
[20:48.720 -> 20:50.240] all at the same time in our living room.
[20:50.240 -> 20:52.200] You know how F1 always do the press conference
[20:52.200 -> 20:54.300] and they have a few drivers there and they ask questions.
[20:54.300 -> 20:55.140] It would just be like that.
[20:55.140 -> 20:56.480] We'll get them all here before the race.
[20:56.480 -> 21:00.560] Okay, so do you think England should have another Grand Prix?
[21:00.560 -> 21:03.080] Do you think they should do one in London?
[21:03.080 -> 21:04.600] Yeah, why not?
[21:04.600 -> 21:06.080] I think they should as well.
[21:06.080 -> 21:07.620] Like I'm with you, I think it'd be unreal,
[21:07.620 -> 21:10.320] but I'll play the card of what I've seen a lot of people,
[21:10.320 -> 21:11.740] I'll just step the other side,
[21:11.740 -> 21:13.560] because I've seen a lot of people say,
[21:13.560 -> 21:16.380] a lot of people have been like, no, no way.
[21:16.380 -> 21:19.000] Like Silverstone is the iconic British Grand Prix.
[21:19.000 -> 21:20.400] Like we don't want one in London,
[21:20.400 -> 21:22.600] like Formula E is over there.
[21:22.600 -> 21:25.560] And I do see it, I do understand.
[21:25.560 -> 21:27.280] Like I do kind of get it.
[21:27.280 -> 21:30.240] Like Silverstone is so iconic.
[21:30.240 -> 21:32.960] What would it be like when, I can't even imagine it.
[21:32.960 -> 21:35.520] I fucking can, everyone just comes to London instead.
[21:35.520 -> 21:37.640] It would be a sick fucking street track.
[21:37.640 -> 21:39.240] I think it would be unbelievable.
[21:39.240 -> 21:41.760] I'm not one of these guys who really holds on
[21:41.760 -> 21:43.960] to like that kind of stuff too much.
[21:43.960 -> 21:46.400] Like, oh, you know, I mean, yeah, Silverstone,
[21:46.400 -> 21:49.760] obviously legendary track, but you know, do a year,
[21:49.760 -> 21:51.880] do it, do a couple years in London,
[21:51.880 -> 21:54.060] skip Silverstone for a couple of years.
[21:54.060 -> 21:56.480] They have so many other races that happen at Silverstone
[21:56.480 -> 21:58.680] anyway, so many different cars and other stuff
[21:58.680 -> 22:02.080] that goes there and spend the next two years doing it up.
[22:02.080 -> 22:03.160] Make it amazing.
[22:03.160 -> 22:04.200] Do the grandstands up,
[22:04.200 -> 22:06.680] make it like fucking Abbyby dabby on steroids.
[22:06.680 -> 22:09.840] Silverstone could be amazing if it was done up a little bit
[22:09.840 -> 22:11.640] because some of the stands are really old.
[22:11.640 -> 22:15.040] Everyone in the paddock says that the paddock at Silverstone is shit.
[22:15.040 -> 22:16.560] Yeah, because of that big wall.
[22:16.560 -> 22:18.920] Yeah, I don't really remember the wall from last time.
[22:18.920 -> 22:21.920] I do. I do because there was people walking along it.
[22:21.920 -> 22:24.040] It was like we were like sunk down in the pits
[22:24.040 -> 22:25.320] and then there was a wall above us
[22:25.320 -> 22:26.160] and people were walking on the track.
[22:26.160 -> 22:27.120] Where those steps were,
[22:27.120 -> 22:29.240] where we sat on the steps to try and get signal.
[22:29.240 -> 22:31.920] Maybe, maybe, I remember the wall though.
[22:31.920 -> 22:33.520] Definitely would be annoying.
[22:33.520 -> 22:36.000] But yeah, some of the Silverson stands look quite old
[22:36.000 -> 22:38.840] for a track that definitely sells out every year.
[22:38.840 -> 22:43.440] I just 100% would love for them to race here.
[22:43.440 -> 22:45.200] It's right next to city airport. I think it'd be good for easier people. There's quite a for them to race here. It's right next to City Airport.
[22:46.080 -> 22:47.640] I think it'd be good for easier people.
[22:47.640 -> 22:48.480] There's quite a lot of hotels around here.
[22:48.480 -> 22:50.800] It's probably not going to happen though, is it?
[22:51.840 -> 22:54.000] I would love it to happen as well, but it's probably not.
[22:54.000 -> 22:55.520] Like why?
[22:55.520 -> 22:58.680] It's probably quite hard to get a Formula One race approved
[22:58.680 -> 22:59.520] in London, isn't it?
[22:59.520 -> 23:00.360] Like emissions.
[23:00.360 -> 23:01.240] Well, think about all the people here.
[23:01.240 -> 23:05.400] Emissions, people, travel, logistics.
[23:05.400 -> 23:07.120] I mean, Formula E works at the XL
[23:07.120 -> 23:08.600] because they can do the majority of it
[23:08.600 -> 23:10.320] through the XL and inside.
[23:10.320 -> 23:11.360] And the cars are quiet.
[23:11.360 -> 23:12.440] Yeah, but could you do that?
[23:12.440 -> 23:15.240] And you probably couldn't get away with that with F1 cars.
[23:15.240 -> 23:16.080] Yeah, probably not.
[23:16.080 -> 23:16.920] They're bigger.
[23:16.920 -> 23:18.440] At the same time, you know,
[23:18.440 -> 23:20.120] there's a lot of flats going up.
[23:20.120 -> 23:21.040] You know, we're in East London.
[23:21.040 -> 23:22.360] This is the arse end of London, mate.
[23:22.360 -> 23:23.200] Like, it's not.
[23:23.200 -> 23:24.040] It's the what?
[23:24.040 -> 23:25.400] It's the fucking arse end of London. Like, East- Mate, I love East London. Yeah, I know. I've always chose to live in East London, this is the arse end of London, mate. Like, it's not- It's the what? It's the fucking arse end of London.
[23:25.400 -> 23:27.160] Mate, I love East London.
[23:27.160 -> 23:29.200] I've always chose to live in East London.
[23:29.200 -> 23:30.040] It's great now.
[23:30.040 -> 23:30.880] You're calling it the arse.
[23:30.880 -> 23:33.600] It's great now, but compared to the West End, obviously,
[23:33.600 -> 23:34.760] it's the dog shit end of London.
[23:34.760 -> 23:36.320] It's still great here now.
[23:36.320 -> 23:38.160] And I think ever since my parents lived here,
[23:38.160 -> 23:40.760] you know, in the 70s, 50 years later,
[23:40.760 -> 23:43.000] it's been done up and it's actually quite nice here.
[23:43.000 -> 23:47.200] But I think it would bring a load of business over here but I think it would bring a load of business over here I think it would bring a load of hype
[23:47.200 -> 23:51.640] over here mm-hmm the price of these flats would go up like crazy
[23:51.640 -> 23:58.520] do you know what I mean? Well that's no good because we don't own a flat. No true, and our rent would probably go up as well. I just think it'd be really cool.
[23:58.520 -> 24:02.560] Well let us know what you think our Instagram is at pitstop confirmation as
[24:02.560 -> 24:05.600] well for the Australian Grand Prix there will be four DRS zones.
[24:05.600 -> 24:09.400] Unsure in the quiz, but there's going to be four DRS zones,
[24:09.400 -> 24:11.560] which is pretty crazy.
[24:11.560 -> 24:13.480] Let's see what happens with that.
[24:13.480 -> 24:15.080] I'm guessing that means you're just going to see
[24:15.080 -> 24:16.960] so many people on track,
[24:16.960 -> 24:19.800] deliberately not overtaking certain places
[24:19.800 -> 24:21.400] because they're going to know
[24:21.400 -> 24:23.000] that they're going to be taken back.
[24:23.000 -> 24:23.840] Yeah.
[24:23.840 -> 24:25.320] I like watching when cars do that.
[24:25.320 -> 24:28.160] It's all about where the DRS detection zone is.
[24:28.160 -> 24:31.360] So when you go over that line,
[24:31.360 -> 24:34.040] you have to be within a second,
[24:34.040 -> 24:36.680] otherwise it won't even let you open your DRS.
[24:36.680 -> 24:38.120] Is that a detection zone?
[24:38.120 -> 24:39.160] Yeah, yeah.
[24:39.160 -> 24:40.440] As soon as you hit that line?
[24:40.440 -> 24:41.280] Yes.
[24:41.280 -> 24:43.480] And then do you open your DRS yourself?
[24:43.480 -> 24:44.320] Yes.
[24:44.320 -> 24:49.320] They have to press a button? Yeah. That your Mac I think probably should be like once you
[24:49.320 -> 24:57.040] once you maybe yeah Max has never thought I just won't press it this lap
[24:57.040 -> 25:00.720] sometimes Max has problems with his DRS in that Red Bull maybe this could be the
[25:00.720 -> 25:06.480] week maybe I get oh my god can I have your predicted podium? My predicted podium?
[25:06.480 -> 25:07.400] To go along with mine.
[25:07.400 -> 25:08.640] I got Alonso in first.
[25:08.640 -> 25:09.480] Okay.
[25:09.480 -> 25:11.000] I've got Sergio Perez in the third.
[25:11.000 -> 25:12.960] I've also got Perez in third.
[25:12.960 -> 25:16.680] And when you asked me before, I said Max in second,
[25:16.680 -> 25:17.760] but I'm gonna change that.
[25:17.760 -> 25:18.600] Are you?
[25:18.600 -> 25:19.420] Yeah.
[25:19.420 -> 25:21.800] Yeah, I'm gonna go with a Ferrari lad too.
[25:21.800 -> 25:24.040] And it's easy for me to say Leclerc,
[25:24.040 -> 25:25.260] but I wanna say Sainz, mate. So Leclerc but I want to say Sainz
[25:25.260 -> 25:29.700] mate. So Leclerc and Verstappen are not on the podium so what happens to them two
[25:29.700 -> 25:33.120] in the Melbourne Australia and Albert Park Grand Prix my friend?
[25:33.120 -> 25:39.900] Isn't Leclerc taking another engine penalty? Fuck off, surely not.
[25:39.900 -> 25:46.280] Surely not. That was Saudi wasn't it? Yeah surely he's not taking another one. That would be really bad.
[25:46.280 -> 25:49.280] Alonzo signs Perez.
[25:49.280 -> 25:50.120] That's what I'm doing.
[25:50.120 -> 25:50.940] That's what I'm going with.
[25:50.940 -> 25:52.440] Alonzo signs Perez.
[25:52.440 -> 25:54.440] Yeah, and I need to get on the blower to Ruth Buscombe
[25:54.440 -> 25:57.820] and give her my, whatever the crystal ball says.
[25:57.820 -> 25:58.660] Yeah, you should.
[25:58.660 -> 26:00.880] We should also say, we haven't spoke to you
[26:00.880 -> 26:03.060] since we told you we're going to have two big guests
[26:03.060 -> 26:05.100] on Sunday and then we dropped the Matt and Tommy episode.
[26:05.100 -> 26:07.700] So I hope you loved that because that is a great episode.
[26:07.700 -> 26:12.400] It was so good to get Matt and Tommy here and be the first podcast that they've come on together
[26:12.400 -> 26:13.900] and just have a chat with those lads.
[26:13.900 -> 26:17.000] If you haven't seen it head over to YouTube or head over to our Spotify.
[26:17.000 -> 26:20.300] Yeah, the video's got 73,000 views on YouTube.
[26:20.300 -> 26:23.800] Apparently that's because of how handsome Matt and Tommy actually are.
[26:23.800 -> 26:27.640] You know what, Matt's got a few comments on there, people telling him he looks really handsome.
[26:27.640 -> 26:28.640] People think he's dashing, don't they?
[26:28.640 -> 26:30.640] Yeah, they're like, this camera quality's great for Matt.
[26:30.640 -> 26:32.640] So there you go, Matt.
[26:32.640 -> 26:34.140] It's those dark features, innit?
[26:34.140 -> 26:35.640] Someone said he's a little snack.
[26:35.640 -> 26:37.640] Matt Gallagher is a little snack.
[26:37.640 -> 26:40.640] Matt is not a little snack, because Matt's been going to the fucking gym.
[26:40.640 -> 26:42.640] Matt is a tonk snack.
[26:42.640 -> 26:45.280] And we've had a few people call out about Runescape
[26:45.280 -> 26:49.280] as well, a few Runescape players. Yeah, shout out, love that. A lot of people listening
[26:49.280 -> 26:52.400] have probably never heard of that, it's a game that me and Fab used to play when we
[26:52.400 -> 26:56.240] were kids. I think a lot of people think that you're the Runescape god. What? I think a
[26:56.240 -> 27:00.120] lot of the fans who watch think that you're the Runescape god because you're the one who
[27:00.120 -> 27:05.960] always brings it up. But I'm not, am I? I'm simply just your biggest fan. Yeah. You are the RuneScape god.
[27:05.960 -> 27:07.160] I am.
[27:07.160 -> 27:08.720] I'm the RuneScape peasant.
[27:08.720 -> 27:11.600] And this is a shout out to Zezima, Peter Zezima,
[27:11.600 -> 27:13.480] or anyone who may know him.
[27:13.480 -> 27:15.480] If anyone knows Zezima, come on the pod.
[27:15.480 -> 27:18.200] We have to get the Zezima exclusive.
[27:18.200 -> 27:19.840] There's also, yeah, we do.
[27:19.840 -> 27:22.520] Zezima and Lewis Hamill are the same episode.
[27:22.520 -> 27:23.360] Well, blimey.
[27:23.360 -> 27:24.200] That makes sense.
[27:24.200 -> 27:27.140] Two high performing athletes together.
[27:27.140 -> 27:29.520] I would blur Zezima.
[27:29.520 -> 27:32.000] That would be the most amazing episode.
[27:32.000 -> 27:32.840] There's also-
[27:32.840 -> 27:34.440] Imagine Hamill had played RuneScape
[27:34.440 -> 27:36.320] and he gets his account out and he doesn't believe it.
[27:36.320 -> 27:40.120] He's like, oh, Lewis Hamill could be Zezima.
[27:40.120 -> 27:40.940] Maybe.
[27:40.940 -> 27:42.680] There's also someone else I want to call out on this pod.
[27:42.680 -> 27:44.120] We're calling someone out?
[27:44.120 -> 27:47.000] Well, someone else I wanted to call out to on the pod.
[27:47.000 -> 27:49.000] We're calling him out for a good reason, or?
[27:49.000 -> 27:50.000] Well, yeah, obviously.
[27:50.000 -> 27:51.000] Oh, to come on the pod?
[27:51.000 -> 27:53.500] Well, no, I need to call out to someone.
[27:53.500 -> 27:55.000] Oh, go on then, call out.
[27:55.000 -> 27:57.000] I don't want to call anyone out, I forgot.
[27:57.000 -> 27:58.000] I'm going to call someone out.
[27:58.000 -> 27:59.000] You want to call someone out?
[27:59.000 -> 28:00.500] I'm calling Logan Sargent out right now.
[28:00.500 -> 28:01.000] Oh, really?
[28:01.000 -> 28:03.000] Yeah, I'm calling out Logie Bear, mate.
[28:03.000 -> 28:11.400] The geezer follows me, he follows Pitstop, and he hasn't replied to any of my messages. Okay? That's not on. Right
[28:11.400 -> 28:17.400] Logan we really want you on the podcast. I'm not sure if you run your own socials okay
[28:17.400 -> 28:25.000] but if you followed me you must think I'm really handsome or you love the podcast. Oh, well,
[28:25.000 -> 28:26.480] So just with the first thing you assume
[28:26.480 -> 28:27.320] when someone follows you,
[28:27.320 -> 28:29.280] that they think you're really handsome.
[28:29.280 -> 28:30.840] Oh, he loves the podcast.
[28:30.840 -> 28:31.680] Fair enough.
[28:31.680 -> 28:32.500] I don't know.
[28:32.500 -> 28:33.960] You've got another bone to pick with someone else.
[28:33.960 -> 28:34.800] Who?
[28:34.800 -> 28:35.640] Jack Doon.
[28:35.640 -> 28:37.200] What, why have I got a bone to pick with Jack?
[28:37.200 -> 28:38.360] Oh, he left me hanging.
[28:38.360 -> 28:40.840] Jack Doon's left me hanging as well.
[28:40.840 -> 28:42.280] Jack Doon said he'll come on the pod
[28:42.280 -> 28:43.960] and I've tagged him in a comment
[28:43.960 -> 28:46.120] and he's left me hanging on a post.
[28:46.120 -> 28:46.960] It's just not.
[28:46.960 -> 28:48.360] These people are busy, aren't they?
[28:48.360 -> 28:49.840] These people are all around the world.
[28:49.840 -> 28:52.240] Like booking these guests is hard
[28:52.240 -> 28:55.000] because we turn down so much stuff
[28:55.000 -> 28:56.760] because we want to do it at the flat.
[28:56.760 -> 28:58.280] And I think that's worth it.
[28:58.280 -> 29:02.280] Like maintaining that core of what we do
[29:02.280 -> 29:03.720] because otherwise we go and do stuff
[29:03.720 -> 29:04.800] and then I watch it back and I'm like,
[29:04.800 -> 29:05.680] that could have been better.
[29:05.680 -> 29:06.500] It's a core element.
[29:06.500 -> 29:08.880] It's one of the four elements.
[29:08.880 -> 29:10.600] It's one of the four seasons.
[29:10.600 -> 29:12.280] The Four Seasons Hotel.
[29:12.280 -> 29:13.960] It's one of the four elements,
[29:13.960 -> 29:16.640] core elements of Pit Stop is to always remain in the flat.
[29:16.640 -> 29:19.000] Yeah, and we've been busy today in the flat
[29:19.000 -> 29:22.120] recording ad reads, Jake and Fab recording some adverts.
[29:22.120 -> 29:22.960] Yeah.
[29:22.960 -> 29:23.780] So if you hear them.
[29:23.780 -> 29:24.620] How did that go?
[29:24.620 -> 29:25.500] Me and Fab aren't very good at them,
[29:25.500 -> 29:27.500] but you might hear them on some of the upcoming episodes,
[29:27.500 -> 29:28.500] which is gonna be fun.
[29:28.500 -> 29:29.500] You know what, I don't believe that.
[29:29.500 -> 29:31.500] I think we're actually really good at them.
[29:31.500 -> 29:33.500] It's just when you're recording an ad read,
[29:33.500 -> 29:35.000] the ads that go before the pod,
[29:35.000 -> 29:37.500] you have to kind of like read it in a...
[29:37.500 -> 29:39.500] a voice that comes across clearly.
[29:39.500 -> 29:41.000] Well, you have to read a script,
[29:41.000 -> 29:43.500] but it's about reading it as if you're not reading a script,
[29:43.500 -> 29:47.320] but sometimes there's nothing you could do. This guy ditches me with all the words
[29:47.320 -> 29:51.600] that I can't even pronounce and in this script I'm using words I've never heard of.
[29:51.600 -> 29:55.480] Look I had to write this fucking script out and it got changed three times like
[29:55.480 -> 29:59.760] I had to change the three fucking script three times before we could read it and
[29:59.760 -> 30:02.800] so they just said it was still good to go so that's it. Sometimes you just have
[30:02.800 -> 30:06.340] to put yourself on the line and accept that you have to use big
[30:06.340 -> 30:07.340] words sometimes.
[30:07.340 -> 30:08.840] Yeah, just trying to get a little bit of money, aren't we?
[30:08.840 -> 30:10.000] So we're going to have big parties.
[30:10.000 -> 30:11.000] Like outstanding.
[30:11.000 -> 30:12.000] Outstanding.
[30:12.000 -> 30:13.000] That's a big word.
[30:13.000 -> 30:14.000] Achievable.
[30:14.000 -> 30:15.000] Extraordinary.
[30:15.000 -> 30:16.000] Extortionate.
[30:16.000 -> 30:20.940] Ladies and gentlemen, it is the Australian Grand Prix.
[30:20.940 -> 30:24.820] We hope everyone has the most incredible weekend wherever you are in the world.
[30:24.820 -> 30:27.960] Those of you in Melbourne, gutted we're not there, those of you in
[30:27.960 -> 30:32.520] America you probably have it a bit better than us for timing what time do
[30:32.520 -> 30:34.880] you reckon they have to wake up in Australia in America five hours behind
[30:34.880 -> 30:39.920] Australia's ahead it's gonna be like midnight 1 a.m. 2 a.m. for Americans
[30:39.920 -> 30:43.040] I think a bit earlier than that probably New York's five hours 10 o'clock at
[30:43.040 -> 30:46.240] night maybe would you rather that or as?
[30:46.240 -> 30:47.360] I'd much rather that.
[30:47.360 -> 30:49.680] America's timing on that is amazing.
[30:50.880 -> 30:51.720] Yeah.
[30:51.720 -> 30:53.760] A race at like 10 p.m. in the evening.
[30:53.760 -> 30:55.720] Yeah, true, but then you'd miss the AJ fight,
[30:55.720 -> 30:56.840] so which one is it?
[30:56.840 -> 30:58.440] Pick one or the other.
[30:58.440 -> 30:59.960] To be honest, we're just gonna watch AJ
[30:59.960 -> 31:01.680] fucking lose again on me, so.
[31:01.680 -> 31:03.880] Yes, two losses in a row.
[31:03.880 -> 31:05.840] The boxing's gonna be interesting.
[31:05.840 -> 31:06.840] It is.
[31:06.840 -> 31:10.160] But yeah, honestly guys, if any of you live out in Miami
[31:10.160 -> 31:12.420] or in like the Florida Keys or something,
[31:12.420 -> 31:15.160] and you just know of anywhere cool, got any cool ideas,
[31:15.160 -> 31:18.160] even if you wanna meet up and take us crock handling.
[31:18.160 -> 31:20.280] Well, we don't know anyone out in Miami, do we?
[31:20.280 -> 31:22.120] If anyone's got any miniature crocodiles,
[31:22.120 -> 31:22.960] just let me hold one.
[31:22.960 -> 31:24.600] Yeah, or anything crazy in your garden,
[31:24.600 -> 31:26.800] or anything we could do that would be hilarious on video,
[31:26.800 -> 31:31.600] actually hit us up. Or funny things in Miami, because we're trying to make a movie out of this
[31:31.600 -> 31:32.600] and we could do it with your help really.
[31:32.600 -> 31:35.600] Yeah, we're taking a camera guy, we've got some special shit to film.
[31:35.600 -> 31:37.000] So we need your help.
[31:37.000 -> 31:39.700] But enjoy the Australian Grand Prix. I stand by what I said.
[31:39.700 -> 31:44.300] I'm fully behind Oscar Piastri and I hope every Pit Stop listener is too.
[31:44.300 -> 31:45.200] Fab thinks an Alonso
[31:45.200 -> 31:49.760] win. I would love an Alonso win. It would be the best thing that could happen. It's coming,
[31:49.760 -> 31:54.280] it's coming mate. But what should the people do listening before we end? They should head
[31:54.280 -> 32:01.520] over to our Instagram. Okay. And just drop a couple likes. Yeah. And then head over to
[32:01.520 -> 32:06.020] the YouTube and sub. Yeah. Because we've just dinged 60,000 on the YouTube.
[32:06.020 -> 32:08.020] 60,000 subscribers, mate.
[32:08.020 -> 32:09.580] Which means we're on the other side of 50,
[32:09.580 -> 32:11.580] which means it's the road to 100K now.
[32:11.580 -> 32:13.780] Guys, can't thank you guys enough.
[32:13.780 -> 32:16.220] How amazing, you've always wanted a YouTube channel as well.
[32:16.220 -> 32:17.700] I have always wanted a YouTube channel
[32:17.700 -> 32:19.500] and now my dreams are coming true.
[32:19.500 -> 32:20.340] Aw.
[32:20.340 -> 32:22.580] 60,000 subs is a lot to do.
[32:22.580 -> 32:24.380] It ain't that bad.
[32:24.380 -> 32:25.000] What? It ain't that bad, I've just really wanted one for a lot to do that. It ain't that bad. What?
[32:25.000 -> 32:26.000] It ain't that bad.
[32:26.000 -> 32:29.000] I've just really wanted one for a long, long, ever.
[32:29.000 -> 32:31.000] Nah, but also we've got a cool channel.
[32:31.000 -> 32:32.000] All the videos look sick.
[32:32.000 -> 32:35.000] We've got a new one coming with Matt's commentary very soon, but Matt's not very well at the
[32:35.000 -> 32:38.000] moment, so I gave him a super restore, but it didn't happen.
[32:38.000 -> 32:41.000] Yeah, you guys are going to have to wait for the Saudi one, unfortunately.
