[01:58.960 -> 02:02.640] to the third episode in now we would have this kind of response from the
[02:02.640 -> 02:08.560] people. I guess it's kind of weird, right? Because we just, we live together and we're just filming this in our spare room
[02:08.560 -> 02:10.720] as like a bit of fun.
[02:10.720 -> 02:15.600] It was never meant to be, obviously it's not huge, it's still a start out podcast,
[02:15.600 -> 02:17.680] but for me it's the fact that we've got people listening.
[02:19.040 -> 02:21.120] It's the fact people are all over the world.
[02:21.840 -> 02:23.680] We're not just talking to like our friends,
[02:23.680 -> 02:28.400] who I originally thought it would just be like our mates. I've never actually thought about that until you literally
[02:28.400 -> 02:32.760] just said that. They're all over the world, mate. People who speak different languages.
[02:32.760 -> 02:37.000] There's people listening to like every word that I say. I know. It's quite worrying. It's
[02:37.000 -> 02:42.840] very worrying. But yeah, moving on. We've managed to hit a chart. So thank you very
[02:42.840 -> 02:45.700] much to everyone who has been listening to the podcast.

[02:54.100 -> 02:56.060] but a five star rating would be lovely.
[02:56.060 -> 02:56.900] Just do it.
[02:56.900 -> 02:58.380] Yeah, five star would be very helpful.
[02:58.380 -> 03:00.440] It really helps us in the charts.
[03:00.440 -> 03:01.400] It does.
[03:01.400 -> 03:04.380] But let's get back to a segment
[03:04.380 -> 03:06.260] which has been coming up quite a lot now recently
[03:06.260 -> 03:08.980] It's what we got wrong in the last episode
[03:09.020 -> 03:09.520] well
[03:09.520 -> 03:14.520] the main thing was I said that I was gonna clear up what happens with the tires at the end of qualifying and from a
[03:14.520 -> 03:18.740] Google it looks like the tires you get your fastest lap in
[03:19.200 -> 03:29.200] Q2 so the people that go through to q3 which is a top 10 the 10 fastest drivers into Q3, that's how they get the top 10 grid position. Those 10 drivers, whichever they got their
[03:29.200 -> 03:34.720] fastest lap on in Q2, they have to start the race on. So Q3 means nothing about the tyres,
[03:34.720 -> 03:39.600] it's about Q2. Yeah, interesting. Why Q2 though? Well, from reading about it, I think it's all
[03:39.600 -> 03:43.280] about strategies. It's so that people can't, because you know what they do when they do the
[03:43.280 -> 03:45.260] qualifying laps, they go round, then they pit laps, they go round, then they pit,
[03:45.260 -> 03:46.320] then they go round, then they pit.
[03:46.320 -> 03:48.800] Keep getting fresh tires, try and get a quicker lap.
[03:48.800 -> 03:51.080] Do you know though, because they're limited to tires.
[03:51.080 -> 03:52.080] They're limited time.
[03:52.080 -> 03:53.720] Yeah, they have a limited time zone,
[03:53.720 -> 03:56.240] but I don't know if they're limited to tires in qualifying.
[03:56.240 -> 03:58.200] I think, I thought they were.
[03:58.200 -> 03:59.040] I have no idea.
[03:59.040 -> 04:00.240] See, we should have been more prepared for this.
[04:00.240 -> 04:01.840] God, we tried to tell them what's right,
[04:01.840 -> 04:03.240] and now we don't even know.
[04:03.240 -> 04:06.400] But yeah, basically they have to start their ties off with something like that.
[04:06.400 -> 04:07.400] Something like that.
[04:07.400 -> 04:08.400] Okay, we'll tell you next episode.
[04:08.400 -> 04:14.000] Yeah, we're probably wrong again. There you go. Welcome to the Pit Stop Podcast. Jake,
[04:14.000 -> 04:21.040] before we carry on, I think we should have a brief conversation about the issues that
[04:21.040 -> 04:24.920] are going on in the world right now. We'll keep it short. It's an F1 podcast. We don't
[04:24.920 -> 04:25.880] need to talk about this too much, but obviously we haven't addressed on in the world right now. We'll keep it short. It's an f1 podcast We don't need to talk about this too much
[04:25.880 -> 04:30.880] But obviously we haven't addressed it in the last two podcasts because we filmed them prior to yeah
[04:30.880 -> 04:37.300] They were filmed prior everything kicking off. But at this moment in time Russia are invading Ukraine
[04:38.560 -> 04:44.520] There has been civilians that have been killed as well as military and it's just it's a horrible time
[04:45.360 -> 04:52.160] So our heart goes out to the people in Ukraine yeah it's people the the people of Russia who
[04:52.160 -> 04:58.800] don't want any of this no one wants a war um and yeah we just send our best regards really
[04:58.800 -> 05:03.360] yeah heart goes out to those of you in Ukraine and Russia and we just want everyone to be safe
[05:04.080 -> 05:08.840] and we do have some listeners from both places so we hope you guys are doing great.
[05:08.840 -> 05:15.360] Yep, stay safe and it's just something that we felt like we had to touch on. Our
[05:15.360 -> 05:19.320] love goes out to the Ukrainians and the Russians and every other country because
[05:19.320 -> 05:30.000] we love everyone. Especially Sri Lanka! The funny thing is we looked on the ACAST stats and
[05:30.000 -> 05:36.000] it was actually only 6 listeners in Sri Lanka that made us number 1. So if you're one of
[05:36.000 -> 05:45.080] the 6 million listeners in Sri Lanka, so yeah to those 6 million of you, six, thanks for listening. We really appreciate it.
[05:45.080 -> 05:46.080] Thank you.
[05:46.080 -> 05:47.720] So the big question is, right,
[05:47.720 -> 05:51.480] if Haas do part ways with Mazepin,
[05:51.480 -> 05:53.960] but the team carries on going and Mazepin can't,
[05:53.960 -> 05:56.160] because Mick Schumacher is not Russian,
[05:56.160 -> 05:58.040] obviously, so he can carry on racing.
[05:58.040 -> 06:00.880] So who replaces Mazepin?
[06:00.880 -> 06:04.040] Well, there's talk that it's gonna be Gio Banasi.
[06:04.040 -> 06:04.880] Gio Navazzi.
[06:04.880 -> 06:05.080] But before we get into this, I don't want Mazepin to Well, there's talk that it's going to be Giovinazzi. Gianna Vazzi. But before
[06:05.080 -> 06:11.680] we get into this, I don't want Mazepin to go anywhere. No, no, no way. I want Mazepin
[06:11.680 -> 06:17.120] there getting points next season so I can get a tattoo of him. And if he's sanctioned,
[06:17.120 -> 06:23.120] it'll be gutting because he's a, he's a racing driver. He's a comedic genius. Yeah. I love
[06:23.120 -> 06:25.240] Mazepin and I want him to be there. But yeah, there's talk
[06:25.240 -> 06:27.240] It's gonna be Giovanna Z
[06:27.240 -> 06:32.580] Well, they they have a reserve driver. So I'm not sure why it would be Giovanna Z. Who is the reserve driver?
[06:33.800 -> 06:39.840] Okay, fab. She's not looking at my phone and have a Pietro fit a pal D. Oh, yeah, he's good
[06:39.840 -> 06:45.120] He is I hope I pronounce that right. He's amazing. Yeah, really good young driver
[06:46.000 -> 06:48.000] coming up from the f2
[06:48.560 -> 06:50.560] racing for
[06:50.560 -> 06:55.680] Goldilocks cars goldilocks cars. I think could be wrong. I heard it was rice
[06:56.960 -> 06:58.800] This is stupid
[06:58.800 -> 07:00.160] anyway
[07:00.160 -> 07:02.720] Yeah, basically, we don't know who this guy is. Okay
[07:03.280 -> 07:06.000] Yeah, I don't know who will replace him, I just hope Mazepin stays.
[07:06.000 -> 07:08.000] It's a crazy world, crazy things going on.
[07:08.000 -> 07:12.000] But yeah, the talk is it'll be Giovinazzi if someone does.
[07:12.000 -> 07:15.000] Weird, probably because he's the Ferrari reserve driver.
[07:15.000 -> 07:18.000] Well, I thought Giovinazzi has just gone to Formula E.
[07:18.000 -> 07:21.000] He's racing Formula E now, that's why he left.
[07:21.000 -> 07:23.000] So I don't know why it would be Giovinazzi.
[07:23.000 -> 07:25.520] Because I think he's still the reserve driver.
[07:25.520 -> 07:26.520] Is he?
[07:26.520 -> 07:27.520] I think so.
[07:27.520 -> 07:31.720] Wow. Hang on a minute. Where was Giovinazzi before?
[07:31.720 -> 07:34.160] Emphasis on think. He was at Alfa Romeo.
[07:34.160 -> 07:35.960] And he's been replaced by?
[07:35.960 -> 07:36.960] Zoen Bottas.
[07:36.960 -> 07:37.960] Yeah.
[07:37.960 -> 07:38.960] Brilliant.
[07:38.960 -> 07:40.120] Which brings us on to Zoe, by the way.
[07:40.120 -> 07:41.120] Yeah. What a guy.
[07:41.120 -> 07:42.960] The new rookie driver of 2022.
[07:42.960 -> 07:48.400] Yeah, so we actually did a bit of research on Zoe because we were gonna make a quick video about him
[07:48.400 -> 07:50.400] before we launched through this podcast stuff.
[07:50.400 -> 07:51.760] We started filming a little bit of videos.
[07:51.760 -> 07:55.520] We found out some cool stuff, like his family moved over here when he was like 16
[07:55.520 -> 07:57.600] to give him a better opportunity at racing.
[07:58.160 -> 08:00.560] Yeah, because he's from China, right? He's Chinese.
[08:00.560 -> 08:03.120] Yeah, definitely. And he came over here, I think it was Sheffield.
[08:03.120 -> 08:04.320] He lived in Sheffield, I think.
[08:04.320 -> 08:04.960] Yeah.
[08:04.960 -> 08:10.800] And he got into racing and that was about as far as our research now it's in the
[08:10.800 -> 08:14.160] Formula One. Everyone's gonna tell that we only read about a quarter of the way down for the
[08:14.160 -> 08:21.280] wiki page. But we did watch the end of last F2 season and we did see him race didn't we a few
[08:21.280 -> 08:28.720] times because we didn't realize that the F2 race was on before. Yeah I had no idea. That's a new thing because I don't ever remember that happening before.
[08:28.720 -> 08:33.120] I think that's unbelievable. It's pretty cool because they had a couple of huge crashes didn't
[08:33.120 -> 08:38.400] they? Was it in Singapore? Yeah. Here we go naming tracks again which are probably completely wrong.
[08:38.400 -> 08:41.920] The race we watched there was a couple of huge crashes. Do you remember because then they couldn't
[08:41.920 -> 08:48.080] I'm pretty sure they couldn't finish the race. No they didn't, they didn't. Yeah. And it's less laps because it's F2 but they had to have
[08:48.080 -> 08:53.280] even less laps. Yeah. They just stopped the race didn't they? They said, oh no there was a safety
[08:53.280 -> 08:58.720] car out for ages I think. I'm pretty sure they definitely lowered the amount of laps. Yeah,
[08:58.720 -> 09:02.320] oh yeah because of the time right, they had to keep stopping it, there was crashes at the first
[09:02.320 -> 09:07.300] corner every time they had to keep stopping it, it was crashes at the first corner every time that to keep stopping it There was overlapping over the main program, wasn't it? Yeah, we were there
[09:07.300 -> 09:12.400] So they had to reduce the laps loads. Yeah, and then all the f1 drivers ended up crashing as well
[09:12.400 -> 09:16.160] Yeah, mate crazy in Qatar, which is in Dubai
[09:16.880 -> 09:20.400] Which is on the border of Saudi Arabia, which is where?
[09:21.760 -> 09:23.760] Mazepin won his first world championship
[09:37.620 -> 09:45.000] Yeah, yeah is where Mazepin won his first world championship. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. What a response we have had to this podcast on TikTok by the way. in our last podcast, we said I can't believe we got 1000
[09:45.000 -> 09:51.120] followers, we now have over 4000 followers. And we got some amazing people following us,
[09:51.120 -> 09:56.640] we got some amazing people engaging with us. And I wanted to quickly talk about gatekeeping.
[09:56.640 -> 10:01.240] Now I had no idea what this is. And then fab explained it to me. And what did you think?
[10:01.240 -> 10:03.680] Like, what? What did you say gatekeeping was?
[10:03.680 -> 10:08.960] Oh, the only reason I know is because I googledled it but it kind of harks back to what I was saying to you before about
[10:08.960 -> 10:16.400] F1 being this sort of like closed off elitist sport where it's almost I almost I felt like it was a private members club
[10:16.720 -> 10:21.440] For a long period of time like if you were in you were in and it was kind of shut up shut off to like everyone
[10:21.440 -> 10:22.240] else
[10:22.240 -> 10:26.440] so gatekeeping that's what it is is like someone's keeping the gate, keeping it locked in,
[10:26.440 -> 10:28.840] and someone commented and mentioned
[10:28.840 -> 10:30.740] that we're just smashing that gate down.
[10:30.740 -> 10:34.120] We are two new fans coming into this elitist sport.
[10:34.120 -> 10:36.040] Yeah, loads of people were commenting at the beginning.
[10:36.040 -> 10:38.520] I kept seeing it, like gatekeepers, gatekeepers,
[10:38.520 -> 10:40.240] and then the reason I wanted to talk about this
[10:40.240 -> 10:42.880] is because I saw someone duet one of our videos,
[10:42.880 -> 10:46.640] and it was a girl, and she said, have you seen it?
[10:46.640 -> 10:50.240] She duetted it and she said, I'm making this video
[10:50.240 -> 10:53.200] because if it was girls doing what they were doing,
[10:53.200 -> 10:55.620] the gatekeepers would come after us.
[10:55.620 -> 10:57.840] And the reason I wanted to make this clip
[10:57.840 -> 11:02.440] is because pretty much all of my favorite creators
[11:02.440 -> 11:06.560] on TikTok that make Formula One content are girls. I think they do
[11:06.560 -> 11:12.000] an amazing job talking about it. And then we keep getting this thing about gatekeeping gatekeeping.
[11:12.000 -> 11:18.160] I will both of us never even thought about that when we made this and it's never going to be an
[11:18.160 -> 11:26.000] issue for us. Like we don't care. We don't care if there's people out there and I don't think anyone else should.
[11:26.000 -> 11:31.660] Any content creator has any right to make content about it. They are just not used to
[11:31.660 -> 11:37.340] their sport blowing up like this. They have never seen it. I can understand from their
[11:37.340 -> 11:41.300] point of view why they're like, oh for God's sake, new people that don't know anything.
[11:41.300 -> 11:45.080] But they were there once as well. And when they were there, there wasn't the social media.
[11:45.080 -> 11:49.760] It's an ego thing. Like, you know, when I come and watch the football with you, and
[11:49.760 -> 11:54.040] I don't care about football, I don't support a team. So like, I'll just say anything. I
[11:54.040 -> 11:56.360] was shouting Brighton Seagulls from the Arsenal stands.
[11:56.360 -> 11:58.240] Yeah, I got kicked out.
[11:58.240 -> 12:02.520] Like to me, that doesn't, it doesn't mean anything because I don't care about football.
[12:02.520 -> 12:06.220] And obviously, we care about F1, but we're not like oh, yeah
[12:07.240 -> 12:09.940] How can I describe it? Do you know I'm saying hard?
[12:09.940 -> 12:14.460] We're not like diehard fans like with us anything goes because I just love the sport
[12:14.460 -> 12:18.980] Oh, yeah, we're diehard fans of the sport. We love the race. This is what we've been saying the whole time
[12:18.980 -> 12:23.660] We don't individually like support one person and go mad about anything that goes wrong with like for example
[12:23.660 -> 12:26.160] If we were massive Leclerc fans
[12:26.160 -> 12:31.440] we would, and there was an argument between Leclerc and Daniel Ricciardo, we're not gonna go mad at Leclerc fans
[12:31.440 -> 12:32.620] We're not gonna be in the comments
[12:32.620 -> 12:37.800] but there's certain people like that and they want to argue everything and make sure everyone that knows everything is right and
[12:38.040 -> 12:43.880] We want to completely break that boundary if there's anyone listening to this podcast or watching this or thinking
[12:43.880 -> 12:45.700] I'd love to make formula one content
[12:45.700 -> 12:49.620] But I don't because there's gatekeepers and people that have come at me and say I don't know what I'm on about
[12:49.620 -> 12:52.180] Just do it. Just do it and tell them to fuck off
[12:52.180 -> 12:56.260] I was gonna actually say I wonder if there's any like hooliganism in f1
[12:56.260 -> 13:02.520] Wow, I've never thought about that like great and if there is you know, it's for stappin fans for sure. You reckon?
[13:02.520 -> 13:11.680] Yeah, I want to hear some stories if there's anyone listening who has crazy F1 stories that you've witnessed or like been a part of, you could
[13:11.680 -> 13:18.160] tell us in confidentiality. Yeah, like true patriots. Oh my god, that reminds me, I actually got a message
[13:18.160 -> 13:23.840] from someone who said your podcast has made me want to tell my story and it's not, it's a bit
[13:23.840 -> 13:25.320] different to hooliganism.
[13:25.320 -> 13:30.080] But someone put, you should do a fan source segment called my most embarrassing F1 learning
[13:30.080 -> 13:35.920] experience and he put, mine was at 2012 goodwood festival of speed. I was wandering around
[13:35.920 -> 13:41.920] the F1 team area and saw a couple of crowds and saw some young men. I reached up and snapped
[13:41.920 -> 13:50.000] some photos assuming they were famous. I only had the courage to ask an annoyed lady in the crowd who one of them was.
[13:50.000 -> 13:52.000] And someone said, that's Mark Webber.
[13:52.000 -> 13:56.000] Many years later I found out the other one was Nico Rosberg.
[13:56.000 -> 13:59.000] So he's just taking photos of these random persons.
[13:59.000 -> 14:02.000] And many years later I found out one of them was my dad.
[14:02.000 -> 14:04.000] Dad!
[14:04.000 -> 14:05.180] Nico! That's literally what we would do though. We'd end up going to the- I found out one of them was my dad. Dad!
[14:06.020 -> 14:07.220] Nico! That's literally what we would do though.
[14:07.220 -> 14:09.400] We'd end up going to, we've been saying this,
[14:09.400 -> 14:11.820] we're going to go to the races and get talking to people
[14:11.820 -> 14:13.260] and someone's going to come over to us
[14:13.260 -> 14:15.380] or we're going to be in a conversation with someone
[14:15.380 -> 14:17.340] and we're not going to have a clue who they are.
[14:17.340 -> 14:20.500] It could be like one of the most famous drivers ever.
[14:20.500 -> 14:21.820] I think we would know a bit.
[14:21.820 -> 14:23.140] Yeah, a hundred percent we would.
[14:23.140 -> 14:24.340] We'd know about Jackie Shure
[14:24.340 -> 14:25.040] because he'd have one sleeve shorter than the other in a Rolex out. Yeah. So we would know a bit yeah a hundred percent we would we'd know about Jackie sure cuz it have a one
[14:25.040 -> 14:28.600] Sleeve should shorter than the other in a Rolex out. Yeah, so we'd know that yeah
[14:29.200 -> 14:30.680] Obviously, we'd know Brundle
[14:30.680 -> 14:34.760] I reckon would recognize more than we think but I definitely could see how that would happen
[14:34.760 -> 14:38.680] There would be someone who like maybe wasn't like a world champ, but they were like quite well known
[14:38.680 -> 14:41.960] I'm from like the 70s or 80s and we would just be like you're all mate
[14:44.000 -> 14:46.000] Can you step out the way I'm trying to interview people
[14:50.000 -> 14:55.520] Oh, man, no, that'd be that'd be so fun though. Yeah, if there is any hooliganism or you have any crazy stories
[14:55.520 -> 14:58.520] Please do let us know. I definitely agree with you. It'd be the max
[14:58.520 -> 15:03.200] I can't picture it because like when I picture like a football match I picture like, you know
[15:03.400 -> 15:07.600] Fellows in like white polo with like fucking beer in their hand and all that
[15:07.600 -> 15:12.080] and then like at the f1 I picture like people like in shirts. Yeah maybe not like hooliganism
[15:12.080 -> 15:16.320] the only reason I say Verstappen fans because I've seen the clips right in the crowd of them
[15:16.320 -> 15:20.880] all with like orange smoke and going crazy you just imagine them to be crazy like they're a bit
[15:20.880 -> 15:25.200] like Ajax fans um which is actually also Dutch. What's up? Isn't that so?
[15:25.640 -> 15:30.400] Yeah, what would you just say I axe? What's that the football team sounds like an animal?
[15:31.000 -> 15:35.700] I access a Dutch football team and they're crazy fans as well. So maybe that Dutch people were just great fun
[15:35.700 -> 15:41.060] What color kit that I wear red and white and they have a gold awake it I think and a dark blue one
[15:41.060 -> 15:41.760] I'm not orange
[15:41.760 -> 15:43.400] No, no
[15:43.400 -> 15:47.920] But they should and they should put Max Verstappen's face on Ajax's football kit.
[15:47.920 -> 15:51.480] If Max Verstappen gets a point this year, I'll get his face toed on my forehead.
[15:51.480 -> 15:52.480] You're fucked.
[15:52.480 -> 15:53.480] You're fucked.
[15:53.480 -> 15:57.600] I need to figure out a way to get him out now.
[15:57.600 -> 16:00.120] Yeah, we've had some amazing DMs on Instagram.
[16:00.120 -> 16:04.160] Our Instagram is at Pitstop, our TikTok is at Pitstop, and like we said at the beginning,
[16:04.160 -> 16:06.240] please do hit the follow button on the podcast,
[16:06.240 -> 16:08.660] give it a five star review, it really helps out.
[16:08.660 -> 16:10.240] And if you want to message us anything
[16:10.240 -> 16:12.800] you really want us to talk about, any stories,
[16:12.800 -> 16:15.800] give us any feedback, things you like and don't like,
[16:15.800 -> 16:17.720] just send it on Instagram,
[16:17.720 -> 16:18.800] because we see all the messages
[16:18.800 -> 16:20.720] and we've had hundreds and hundreds.
[16:20.720 -> 16:22.520] Okay, that's probably an exaggeration.
[16:22.520 -> 16:24.640] We've had thousands, we've been in and out.
[16:24.640 -> 16:27.060] Yeah, I like it. It crashed Instagram,'ve had thousands, we've been in and out. Honestly, it crashed Instagram.
[16:27.060 -> 16:27.900] Like we couldn't get on Instagram.
[16:27.900 -> 16:30.020] No lie, we couldn't even respond to comments.
[16:30.020 -> 16:31.120] That is how broken-
[16:31.120 -> 16:32.780] Couldn't even leave the house.
[16:32.780 -> 16:35.380] People queuing up outside trying to ask us questions.
[16:35.380 -> 16:39.960] God, it's really, these 4,000 followers,
[16:39.960 -> 16:42.860] fam, have really gone to your head.
[16:42.860 -> 16:46.800] It is a big head as well, so imagine having bigger head. It's a fucking massive head, mate.
[16:46.800 -> 16:47.720] It's huge.
[16:47.720 -> 16:48.960] You need a headset like mine
[16:48.960 -> 16:51.360] to make sure it didn't go in.
[16:51.360 -> 16:52.440] I think my head looks big.
[16:52.440 -> 16:54.520] Yeah, your head looks massive and round.
[16:54.520 -> 16:56.160] You need this, it looks,
[16:56.160 -> 17:01.160] my helmet, my headset's got like a skin fade in.
[17:01.360 -> 17:02.200] It is nice.
[17:02.200 -> 17:03.020] Thank you.
[17:03.020 -> 17:03.860] Do I have to get one?
[17:03.860 -> 17:04.960] Yeah, you should.
[17:04.960 -> 17:05.000] One of the main things we're gonna get into this episode in. It is nice. Thank you. I'll have to get one. Yeah, you should.
[17:05.000 -> 17:10.600] One of the main things we're going to get into this episode is our top 10 prediction
[17:10.600 -> 17:12.200] for next season.
[17:12.200 -> 17:13.200] Standings.
[17:13.200 -> 17:14.600] Yeah, driver's standings.
[17:14.600 -> 17:17.840] We're going to tell you how we think it's going to finish.
[17:17.840 -> 17:19.440] Me and Fab have got our 10.
[17:19.440 -> 17:20.600] We haven't spoke about them.
[17:20.600 -> 17:21.600] We haven't.
[17:21.600 -> 17:22.600] We were we were writing them last night.
[17:22.600 -> 17:23.600] I was trying to get him to tell.
[17:23.600 -> 17:27.200] And we were cracking it up and we were like, we just tell each other but we were like nope let's
[17:27.200 -> 17:30.800] just save it for the podcast because then our reactions are going to be so raw. I was looking
[17:30.800 -> 17:35.040] at him and I was going please tell me you've got first, like I need to know you've gone first and I
[17:35.040 -> 17:40.720] have this feeling that Fab has just put signs Leclerc one and two because he's Ferrari through
[17:40.720 -> 17:46.000] and through and I'm the one sat there in a Ferrari top. I'm the one sat there in a Ferrari top.
[17:46.000 -> 17:47.680] You're a Ferrari fan, aren't you?
[17:47.680 -> 17:48.320] Yeah, mate.
[17:48.320 -> 17:51.680] Oh, how the tables have turned and I'm sat here in a fucking Haas t-shirt.
[17:52.880 -> 17:53.380] Nope.
[17:55.360 -> 17:57.440] No, but let's get straight into it. Do you want to go first?
[17:57.840 -> 18:02.480] I think we should do our, do you think we do it one at a time? Do our tens together? Do our nines together?
[18:02.480 -> 18:06.120] No, no, yeah, yeah. Okay. What, you want to start from 10?
[18:06.120 -> 18:07.180] Yeah, go on then.
[18:07.180 -> 18:08.240] You want to start from 10?
[18:08.240 -> 18:10.080] So who've you got at number 10?
[18:10.080 -> 18:10.900] Okay.
[18:10.900 -> 18:14.860] This is how we think it's going to finish, right?
[18:14.860 -> 18:16.580] So at the end of the season,
[18:16.580 -> 18:21.580] we think the point standings as drivers will go as follows.
[18:22.280 -> 18:24.280] Number 10, George Russell.
[18:24.280 -> 18:25.080] What? Yeah. Mate, you are 10, George Russell. What?
[18:25.080 -> 18:25.920] Yeah.
[18:25.920 -> 18:28.640] Mate, you are fucking clueless.
[18:28.640 -> 18:29.460] Why?
[18:29.460 -> 18:31.160] George Russell is not gonna be 10th.
[18:31.160 -> 18:32.000] Yep.
[18:32.000 -> 18:35.000] Mate, where did he finish this season?
[18:36.720 -> 18:37.680] Who knows, mate.
[18:37.680 -> 18:38.520] Nowhere near.
[18:38.520 -> 18:39.340] In a Williams.
[18:39.340 -> 18:40.580] Nowhere near the top.
[18:40.580 -> 18:42.720] Also, not right at the bottom.
[18:42.720 -> 18:44.040] No, but.
[18:44.040 -> 18:46.040] Actually, he might be like 17th, I don't know. Should we proof check that? Mate, George Russell is not gonna at the bottom. No, but actually he might be like 17th. I don't know
[18:46.760 -> 18:51.280] George Russell is not gonna come 10th. I do I think I if not 10th
[18:51.280 -> 18:53.740] I reckon between 8 and 10 Wow, why?
[18:54.360 -> 18:56.780] Because I think he's got the car but like he's new
[18:56.780 -> 19:02.080] He's still new to like driving such a high-performance car and he's new to having a teammate like Hamlin
[19:02.080 -> 19:05.480] I've I think I think so. I understand. I've struggled with the Russell thing, so I understand.
[19:05.480 -> 19:10.360] I think he will push the boat because he's in a Mercedes
[19:10.360 -> 19:11.880] and he's trying to keep up with Hamilton,
[19:11.880 -> 19:13.680] and he'll push the boat a bit too far.
[19:13.680 -> 19:17.240] I have struggled with the Russell situation
[19:17.240 -> 19:19.540] because we don't really know how good he is.
[19:20.720 -> 19:24.480] There might be something we're missing, but I don't know.
[19:24.480 -> 19:26.880] So who did you have as your number 10?
[19:26.880 -> 19:28.360] Vettel.
[19:28.360 -> 19:30.160] I want to see Vettel back up there.
[19:30.160 -> 19:33.720] And I think he came 12th or 13th last season
[19:33.720 -> 19:34.880] and I want him 10th.
[19:34.880 -> 19:36.080] I'd love him higher.
[19:36.080 -> 19:37.760] I'd absolutely love Vettel higher.
[19:37.760 -> 19:38.600] Oh, I originally-
[19:38.600 -> 19:39.760] But I just couldn't get him higher.
[19:39.760 -> 19:41.200] I originally put him higher.
[19:41.200 -> 19:42.920] And then when I started thinking about the drivers,
[19:42.920 -> 19:43.760] he dropped down.
[19:43.760 -> 19:44.600] Did you do it top to bottom?
[19:44.600 -> 19:45.360] Yeah, from first to 10. Yeah, because I've got Vettel in- I can't believe you drivers he dropped down. Did you do it top to bottom?
[19:45.360 -> 19:46.360] Yeah from first to 10.
[19:46.360 -> 19:48.360] I can't believe you got Russell 10th.
[19:48.360 -> 19:49.360] I've got Vettel in 9th.
[19:49.360 -> 19:53.640] Oh okay, in 9th I've got Daniel Ricciardo.
[19:53.640 -> 19:54.640] He didn't make my list.
[19:54.640 -> 19:58.520] It was difficult with Ricciardo because we've always said we love him.
[19:58.520 -> 19:59.520] Oh we love Daniel Ricciardo.
[19:59.520 -> 20:04.120] Like he's one of my favourites and he would be a dream guest to come on just to meet him
[20:04.120 -> 20:05.000] or talk to him once
[20:05.000 -> 20:09.960] Like I'll be devastated when he retires. I saw a video someone saying they'll be devastated as well
[20:09.960 -> 20:11.960] And it just made me think he's got so much personality
[20:11.960 -> 20:17.480] Oh, he would be like the best person to have on the podcast. Oh, he'd be a dream. He'd be the best but as a driver
[20:18.520 -> 20:25.360] How good is he? He won a race last season. Yeah, he did win a race last season? Yeah, he did win a race last season.
[20:25.360 -> 20:26.200] Not sure.
[20:26.200 -> 20:27.960] He had a good few seasons in him
[20:27.960 -> 20:29.840] when McLaren were doing well.
[20:29.840 -> 20:32.160] Ricciardo done well, I'm pretty sure he won Monaco.
[20:32.160 -> 20:33.680] And he didn't make your top 10?
[20:33.680 -> 20:34.520] No.
[20:34.520 -> 20:37.800] So you've gone Russell, Vettel as 10 and nine
[20:37.800 -> 20:41.120] and I've gone Vettel, Ricciardo as 10 and nine.
[20:41.120 -> 20:42.160] And who's your eight?
[20:42.160 -> 20:43.640] Perez.
[20:43.640 -> 20:47.000] Wow, our lists are so different mate.
[20:47.000 -> 20:49.800] Really? Yeah, we knew this was going to happen though. We knew this was going to happen.
[20:49.800 -> 20:55.360] I think Perez is a solid driver. I think he's driving, you know, one of the best cars, a
[20:55.360 -> 21:00.560] Red Bull. But looking at my list and thinking ahead at what I think the other drivers are
[21:00.560 -> 21:09.720] going to do, I just don't think he's going to fall past. How has your list changed so much from like this season? Like you're putting Perez didn't come 8th
[21:09.720 -> 21:15.640] for last season, how are you putting him so low after having such a good year? I think
[21:15.640 -> 21:20.140] there's a bit of redemption to be made for how, we'll talk about this because I'm going
[21:20.140 -> 21:25.140] to start revealing my top 10. Okay, alright right, we'll talk about this afterwards. All right, let's fly through it.
[21:25.140 -> 21:32.300] In a I've got Gasly. I wanted him higher. I really wanted him higher and I stand by
[21:32.300 -> 21:37.780] it. If he was in a better car. Like we said last episode, I'm going to keep saying it
[21:37.780 -> 21:43.940] every week. Gasly in that Red Bull is his time, I believe after watching on Drive to
[21:43.940 -> 21:48.820] Survive, you know, he gets into that Red bull and then he goes out and Albon comes here that Albon goes
[21:48.820 -> 21:51.080] I don't think the team were ready for Gasly
[21:51.080 -> 21:55.600] I think Gasly may not have been ready for it, but I also don't think they were fully ready for him
[21:55.600 -> 22:02.660] I think you invest in Gasly. I think he's a real driver a real talent interesting because I've got him a seventh cool
[22:02.680 -> 22:06.000] So we both support so so similar to some similarities and then at 7th. I've got him as seventh. Cool, so we both support... So similar, there's some similarities.
[22:06.000 -> 22:08.000] And then at seventh I've got Leclerc.
[22:08.000 -> 22:10.000] Now that was difficult.
[22:10.000 -> 22:14.000] I started to struggle with my Ferrari predictions.
[22:14.000 -> 22:16.000] Because you've been sat in a Ferrari.
[22:16.000 -> 22:18.000] There's going to be a bit of friction going on between you and me.
[22:18.000 -> 22:20.000] Well you've been so sure Ferrari are going to be amazing this season.
[22:20.000 -> 22:22.000] But you've got to remember mate,
[22:22.000 -> 22:24.000] Ferrari might be incredible, but there's no way
[22:24.000 -> 22:26.080] Red Bull and Mercedes aren't going to be pucker. Mate, you've got to remember, mate, Ferrari might be incredible, but there's no way Red Bull and Mercedes aren't going to be pucker.
[22:26.080 -> 22:29.400] Mate, you've got to remember that Ferrari, for the longest time ever, were the best team
[22:29.400 -> 22:30.400] in the world.
[22:30.400 -> 22:32.240] Not for a while, though.
[22:32.240 -> 22:34.080] They've been out of it for a long time.
[22:34.080 -> 22:38.560] Yeah, and there are specific reasons because of that.
[22:38.560 -> 22:41.040] Do I know any of the specific reasons?
[22:41.040 -> 22:42.040] No.
[22:42.040 -> 22:48.680] But I know that there is. Your thought process is solely, like Ferrari so I'm gonna put the driver's
[22:50.120 -> 22:54.640] Love Ferrari so much anyway, he got sick sick
[23:00.400 -> 23:05.020] I think these making a big big big comeback mate, you have just put someone in an Alpine
[23:05.640 -> 23:10.580] Above someone in a Mercedes basically you really think he's gonna do that much better Russell
[23:10.580 -> 23:14.720] Yeah, and then this it's like comes full circle. We talk about how it's like
[23:14.720 -> 23:17.440] I like how you put Alonso it's so much Alonso
[23:17.440 -> 23:23.320] It's so much percent of the driver. The driver is so important. Obviously, the car is ridiculously important as well
[23:23.320 -> 23:28.000] I'm so glad you've done this field predictions because I've won when it comes to the end of the
[23:28.000 -> 23:33.120] season by a mile. No way, no way. I love Alonso and I know you do as well but he won't not be sick.
[23:33.120 -> 23:38.880] Why? Okay, well ask the people. Why not? Mate, because he just won't be sick. Why?
[23:38.880 -> 23:43.200] It's fucking Fernando Alonso. Don't ask me a reason. I can't give you a reason. It's Alonso.
[23:43.200 -> 23:47.200] Did you, I nearly teared up when he held off
[23:47.200 -> 23:48.120] Lewis Hamilton.
[23:48.980 -> 23:50.320] Do you remember that race?
[23:50.320 -> 23:54.360] And he held Lewis Hamilton up by like two laps, three laps,
[23:54.360 -> 23:55.860] or maybe not as half a lap.
[23:55.860 -> 23:58.560] But it was like, he's just well classed.
[23:58.560 -> 23:59.720] Why did he hold him up?
[24:00.920 -> 24:04.800] Because he was hell, but I don't know.
[24:04.800 -> 24:05.000] You mixed Fernando Alonso and Perez. Because he was hellbent. I don't know.
[24:05.000 -> 24:08.000] You mixed Fernando Alonso and Perez.
[24:08.000 -> 24:13.000] I know Perez did it too but Alonso held someone up.
[24:13.000 -> 24:18.000] I think he was just racing. I think Hamilton was trying to get past him for whatever reason.
[24:18.000 -> 24:21.000] He was in front and he just fucking raced the hell out of him.
[24:21.000 -> 24:24.000] And it was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Alonso's the GOAT man.
[24:24.000 -> 24:27.240] And he's from Schumacher era so mad respect
[24:27.240 -> 24:33.040] to Alonso. Fair play, fair play. In at sixth I've got Norris. I really wanted
[24:33.040 -> 24:37.360] Norris higher as well. I struggled with the McLarens. I'll deal with that.
[24:37.360 -> 24:42.720] I want McLaren up there, want Norris up there, would love my order to be wrong
[24:42.720 -> 24:48.680] and Ricciardo and Norris to be higher but I've done my order how I seriously think the table
[24:48.680 -> 24:52.420] will finish and I never gone for Norris. They've been eating too much of that husky
[24:52.420 -> 24:56.920] chocolate they're too fat now. Well we play with the McLaren on the game and
[24:56.920 -> 25:01.160] it even though it says it's quick just can't beat the Red Bull Mercedes in it.
[25:01.160 -> 25:08.880] Doesn't go around corners either. Nah. Just a a terrible car or maybe we are just shit at that game maybe but who knows in at five in
[25:08.880 -> 25:16.160] at five I've got signs I've got Perez okay interesting yeah in at fourth I've
[25:16.160 -> 25:22.640] got Lando in at fourth I've got signs okay okay
[25:22.640 -> 25:25.040] I quite like the way we've mixed this up in at third I've got Russell it's actually closer than I thought by the way it mixes up.
[25:25.040 -> 25:26.720] In at third I've got Russell.
[25:26.720 -> 25:28.640] It's actually closer than I thought by the way.
[25:28.640 -> 25:31.500] We are quite a way off but we are quite similar in a lot of places.
[25:31.500 -> 25:33.840] You put Russell 10th, I put Russell 3rd.
[25:33.840 -> 25:36.200] Well you're terribly wrong.
[25:36.200 -> 25:38.400] What do the people think?
[25:38.400 -> 25:40.480] Who do you think is closer?
[25:40.480 -> 25:43.080] Russell 3rd or Russell 10th?
[25:43.080 -> 25:44.080] 10th.
[25:44.080 -> 25:45.600] As the final standings
[25:46.320 -> 25:52.000] Comment down below. I've done a word that that I've just told him to comment down below. That was for the tick-tock
[25:56.880 -> 25:58.880] Okay, number two
[25:59.120 -> 26:03.440] Three three. Who do you put the step in Wow?
[26:05.560 -> 26:07.760] Yeah, I've got Russell number two
[26:09.400 -> 26:11.400] The Claire
[26:12.320 -> 26:13.320] Hamilton
[26:13.320 -> 26:15.000] Who the fuck have you got in first?
[26:15.000 -> 26:22.480] But Stappan really I think the step and back-to-back really I think I think short-lived tell me why you think
[26:23.360 -> 26:30.400] Hamilton wins next year. Like I said, he's a lot of redemption, he needs to redeem himself.
[26:30.400 -> 26:38.200] He is the best driver statistically in the world, and I think he'll carry on.
[26:38.200 -> 26:42.520] I think regardless of what my feelings are towards the end of last season, whether I
[26:42.520 -> 26:45.960] thought it was a good or a bad thing, I'm pretty sure I said last podcast it was a good thing for
[26:45.960 -> 26:47.200] the sport.
[26:47.200 -> 26:49.080] It wasn't a very good thing for Hamilton.
[26:49.080 -> 26:52.760] And if you watch the way that he crept back up after being so far behind halfway through
[26:52.760 -> 26:55.320] that season, it shows he's a world-class driver.
[26:55.320 -> 26:58.760] And I think now he's got more of a reason to come back and smash it.
[26:58.760 -> 26:59.960] Interesting way to look at it.
[26:59.960 -> 27:04.040] I look at it, I completely agree with everything you said, but I just think Max is a young
[27:04.040 -> 27:06.240] driver getting better and better every week.
[27:06.240 -> 27:09.400] I think when you push a young driver like Max
[27:09.400 -> 27:10.940] in that championship battle,
[27:10.940 -> 27:12.360] in his first world championship
[27:12.360 -> 27:15.440] to be battling against one of the best drivers ever
[27:15.440 -> 27:17.480] and still come out on top,
[27:17.480 -> 27:18.880] I think that's when you're looking at someone
[27:18.880 -> 27:20.520] who's got a serious career ahead of them.
[27:20.520 -> 27:24.120] And I, well, you've gone third and I've gone second.
[27:24.120 -> 27:30.480] I still think he's gonna be podium. Pod just I do wonder whether he... The cars are
[27:30.480 -> 27:34.360] gonna say a lot because the cars are different. Yeah and very interesting what
[27:34.360 -> 27:37.680] you said earlier today. What we found earlier yeah that Red Bull haven't been
[27:37.680 -> 27:41.120] putting out their car in practice so basically Red Bull's car is gonna be
[27:41.120 -> 27:44.760] different. We had no idea about any of this stuff but they probably already knew but
[27:44.760 -> 27:47.200] yeah the car that they put out in practice is going to be very
[27:47.200 -> 27:49.600] different to the actual car you see on race one.
[27:49.600 -> 27:53.540] I remember on the release day, I remember someone saying about like what you see on
[27:53.540 -> 27:56.200] when they do the car reveals that they'll look a lot different.
[27:56.200 -> 28:00.540] Yeah, because they hide stuff and they only show certain angles. They won't put everything
[28:00.540 -> 28:02.800] on the car. They don't want people to copy it, right?
[28:02.800 -> 28:08.720] Who is it? One of the teams didn't have like the air vents on the side pods or like the gills that
[28:08.720 -> 28:12.800] I call them. They didn't have that in the car reveal and then when they went to Barcelona for
[28:12.800 -> 28:17.200] the testing they actually did have them. Oh yeah little changes. I want to say it was McLaren or
[28:17.200 -> 28:23.200] Mercedes but I don't know. It'd be interesting to see but I think give me your opinions on my top
[28:23.200 -> 28:25.820] 10 I'll tell you through so number one
[28:25.820 -> 28:28.180] I'll read it from top to bottom. So Verstappen won
[28:28.920 -> 28:34.220] Hamilton Russell signs Perez Norris Leclerc Gasly
[28:34.920 -> 28:36.920] Riccardo Vettel
[28:38.120 -> 28:42.240] That's my top 10 I may I really cannot believe you put Russell 10th
[28:42.240 -> 28:45.120] I really I was just thinking that I really cannot believe that you've put in third I really, I was just thinking that I really cannot believe
[28:45.120 -> 28:46.760] that you've put him third.
[28:46.760 -> 28:47.680] I can't believe that.
[28:47.680 -> 28:49.880] See, I can't believe that.
[28:49.880 -> 28:51.080] It's funny because I'm saying
[28:51.080 -> 28:52.840] I can't believe you put him 10th,
[28:52.840 -> 28:55.600] but I agree with you that I can't believe I've put him third.
[28:55.600 -> 28:57.200] I think a lot of that comes from-
[28:57.200 -> 28:58.840] I can't believe what was I thinking.
[28:58.840 -> 29:01.600] I do agree with you, but I do think,
[29:03.080 -> 29:07.320] you're looking at seven time in a row Constructors Championships, if anyone
[29:07.320 -> 29:11.400] is going to put out the best car with the new regulations, it's probably going to be
[29:11.400 -> 29:12.400] Mercedes.
[29:12.400 -> 29:15.160] I think it's up to everyone to beat them.
[29:15.160 -> 29:19.720] Look how they've adjusted over the last seven years to put out a top car to win Constructors.
[29:19.720 -> 29:20.720] I do think this is very bold of us.
[29:20.720 -> 29:23.840] And Constructors is both people together, right?
[29:23.840 -> 29:28.320] Seven times in a row they've done it with the teammates, so the teammates are going to be up there.
[29:28.320 -> 29:33.600] They wouldn't have brought Russell in if they didn't believe they could get that Constructors trophy.
[29:33.600 -> 29:35.280] If they didn't believe he'd be in the points.
[29:35.280 -> 29:40.720] But maybe it'll be like one of them Red Bull scenarios where they, you know, Gazzi came in, didn't perform, straight out.
[29:40.720 -> 29:48.880] I don't know when you can switch a driver, but yeah, I with you third is high I took a gamble on that. I think we're taking a gamble trying to even figure this out because
[29:48.880 -> 29:53.760] they've this is the obviously they've changed the cars a lot this year I think this is the most
[29:53.760 -> 29:59.520] they've changed the cars in a long time so it's really a shot in the dark who knows what car's
[29:59.520 -> 30:04.240] going to be like what Mercedes could be dog shit. Well I guess it's up to the people listening to
[30:04.240 -> 30:08.500] decide whether they want to go with Jake or Fab. Read your ten out again, just from the top.
[30:08.500 -> 30:18.000] From the top, so number one, Hamilton, Leclerc, Verstappen, Lando, Sainz, Alonso, Gasly, Perez,
[30:18.000 -> 30:26.080] Vettel, Russell. Interesting man, Leclerc second. You're going for a big year for Ferrari. Before we leave you lovely
[30:26.080 -> 30:29.840] people we're going to give you one of our predictions. We've been given these throughout
[30:29.840 -> 30:34.160] the episodes and just before the season we'll remind you of all of them. We have five each
[30:34.160 -> 30:39.520] and we are scored on them. What prediction are you going to make for the season ahead fam?
[30:41.600 -> 30:48.520] This is another Ferrari one. Okay. And it's that I feel like Ferrari are going to win the Constructors' Championship this
[30:48.520 -> 30:49.520] year.
[30:49.520 -> 30:50.520] Wow!
[30:50.520 -> 30:54.560] Yeah, yeah, no messing about.
[30:54.560 -> 30:56.040] Pure, pure horsepower.
[30:56.040 -> 30:59.280] Do you really, really think Ferrari are going to...
[30:59.280 -> 31:03.600] It's so funny how I'm sat here in a Ferrari top and I'm going, there's no way!
[31:03.600 -> 31:05.000] Everyone's like, what?
[31:05.000 -> 31:06.680] Why is the Ferrari fan saying no?
[31:06.680 -> 31:08.360] There's substance to it.
[31:08.360 -> 31:11.640] There's a lot of talk that their engine's gonna be fire.
[31:11.640 -> 31:12.720] I would love it.
[31:12.720 -> 31:15.400] I would love Ferrari to smash it, mate.
[31:15.400 -> 31:16.840] It would be sick.
[31:16.840 -> 31:19.880] Like, it would be so good and so exciting.
[31:19.880 -> 31:22.040] And I would love it more than anything.
[31:22.040 -> 31:23.200] And if your prediction's right,
[31:23.200 -> 31:26.320] then your prediction's a lot more serious than mine.
[31:26.320 -> 31:30.500] My prediction is that in one race this season,
[31:30.500 -> 31:32.980] Yuki Tsunoda will spin out at the first corner.
[31:32.980 -> 31:37.420] And I've only said that because he did when I said,
[31:37.420 -> 31:39.180] I bet Yuki Tsunoda spins out, he did.
[31:39.180 -> 31:40.640] It happened twice.
[31:40.640 -> 31:42.280] You said it twice and it happened both times.
[31:42.280 -> 31:44.360] I'm not insinuating that I want him to crash
[31:44.360 -> 31:46.560] and I don't want anyone to get hurt, but my
[31:46.560 -> 31:50.600] prediction is that at the first corner Yuki Tsunoda will go out of the race at least once
[31:50.600 -> 31:51.600] this season.
[31:51.600 -> 31:55.560] But I like the way Fab has given these absolutely ridiculous predictions, it's exciting.
[31:55.560 -> 32:00.240] I've given some couple of stupid ones, I thought I'd wrap it up with a nice strong one that's
[32:00.240 -> 32:01.600] definitely going to happen.
[32:01.600 -> 32:08.800] I can't believe you've said Leclerc second and 10th, but then I can't believe I've said Russell third
[32:09.160 -> 32:12.520] We're both learning as quickly as we can how good the drivers are
[32:13.160 -> 32:15.160] And let's just see who does best. I
[32:15.760 -> 32:20.440] Guess there we go. Then. Thank you for listening to the third episode of the pit stop podcast
[32:20.440 -> 32:31.320] Like we said if you haven't yet click the follow button please do follow the podcast please do give us a review down below and we will be back on Monday with a very special
[32:31.320 -> 32:32.320] guest.
[32:32.320 -> 32:40.520] Monday's episode is with someone we cannot believe is coming on our podcast.
[32:40.520 -> 32:46.080] Like quite frankly when you hear this because this goes up on Thursday We would have filmed with him
[32:46.080 -> 32:52.200] So we can big this up and say he's amazing as much as we want and he can't run away and say that we're annoying
[32:52.520 -> 32:57.540] But I cannot believe he is coming on. I consider we've just made this podcast
[32:57.540 -> 33:01.680] It's mad, but I do think that he is probably like the perfect person
[33:02.680 -> 33:05.200] I mean, I feel like he'll fit the banter really well.
[33:05.200 -> 33:06.800] We're filming it tomorrow for us.
[33:06.800 -> 33:09.400] We're filming this really late night because we've had a busy week.
[33:09.400 -> 33:12.600] So we're so excited when we end this podcast.
[33:12.600 -> 33:16.400] We're just going to get planning for it and you guys are going to love it.
[33:16.400 -> 33:20.900] So next Monday, well Monday coming, there's going to be a massive guest.
