WEBVTT
1
00:00:00.195 --> 00:00:01.445
This is off track.
2
00:00:03.065 --> 00:00:04.485
Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy.
3
00:00:05.275 --> 00:00:09.815
Uh, hey guys, welcome to Off Track with er and or Rossi.
4
00:00:10.595 --> 00:00:11.975
Did you just call yourself Hinter?
5
00:00:12.745 --> 00:00:13.935
Hinch? I, he
6
00:00:13.935 --> 00:00:14.975
Was saying, or Rossi?
7
00:00:15.675 --> 00:00:17.295
We did the Tuesdays. We just, yeah,
8
00:00:17.295 --> 00:00:19.575
we just interviewed Santino like five hours ago,
9
00:00:19.755 --> 00:00:21.415
so I think he was still doing that one.
10
00:00:22.235 --> 00:00:27.095
Mm, mm-hmm . Mm-hmm . Yep. And if you watched, uh, I'm
11
00:00:27.095 --> 00:00:29.295
Curious or listened, I'm curious, did, did Tim at all talk
12
00:00:29.295 --> 00:00:32.255
about, you know, since he was face to face with Santino, any
13
00:00:32.255 --> 00:00:33.375
of the negative things he said
14
00:00:33.375 --> 00:00:34.535
about him over the past years?
15
00:00:34.595 --> 00:00:36.335
Or did he just clam up?
16
00:00:36.835 --> 00:00:39.575
So, no, he didn't clam up. We had a good chat.
17
00:00:39.755 --> 00:00:41.695
We just talked about racing and we ran outta time.
18
00:00:41.995 --> 00:00:44.895
So I think we should have him back on to,
19
00:00:45.045 --> 00:00:46.045
Okay, hang on.
20
00:00:46.045 --> 00:00:48.095
Because I wasn't gonna address it until Alex just did.
21
00:00:48.255 --> 00:00:51.815
I wanted to, and James, you stopped me from doing
22
00:00:51.815 --> 00:00:52.815
So.
23
00:00:52.815 --> 00:00:53.455
We ran outta time. We ran outta time
24
00:00:54.085 --> 00:00:55.575
like I specifically did.
25
00:00:55.635 --> 00:00:57.775
Here's what I wanna ask him. Mm,
26
00:00:58.555 --> 00:00:59.555
He did.
27
00:00:59.555 --> 00:01:01.495
That's true. That's an accurate statement. But, uh, okay.
28
00:01:01.955 --> 00:01:03.775
But no, he, he bitched out, um,
29
00:01:04.365 --> 00:01:06.775
What
Keyboard Warrior
30
00:01:07.485 --> 00:01:09.615
podcast, whatever
31
00:01:09.855 --> 00:01:11.255
I propaganda
Posted.
32
00:01:11.255 --> 00:01:12.415
Save the screen shots. I
33
00:01:12.415 --> 00:01:13.415
Did this.
34
00:01:13.415 --> 00:01:15.415
I I'm, I'm gonna go delete that chat real quick.
35
00:01:16.215 --> 00:01:19.735
I, um, I opened the last podcast with this
36
00:01:19.755 --> 00:01:21.535
and I think I'm gonna start doing the Chanel
37
00:01:22.805 --> 00:01:24.295
because I like beer.
38
00:01:25.155 --> 00:01:28.135
It is super unprofessional to drink When podcasting.
39
00:01:29.115 --> 00:01:32.735
Are you drinking coffee?
That's red wine. Pow.
40
00:01:33.355 --> 00:01:36.015
Got it. Uh, why, where are you now?
41
00:01:36.015 --> 00:01:38.015
Are you still in your, your backyard?
42
00:01:38.445 --> 00:01:41.015
Back in LA It's just another Zoom background,
43
00:01:41.425 --> 00:01:42.425
Right?
44
00:01:42.425 --> 00:01:43.415
No, I mean, honestly that I
45
00:01:43.415 --> 00:01:44.855
could, that could pass as your apartment. That
46
00:01:44.855 --> 00:01:46.095
Could be, yeah, that could be anywhere. ,
47
00:01:46.555 --> 00:01:47.615
that's actually not as,
48
00:01:47.875 --> 00:01:49.495
can you go out into the street again? That was better.
49
00:01:50.195 --> 00:01:53.735
Way better. It's
So hot here. No, . I cannot .
50
00:01:54.955 --> 00:01:58.135
At least there's no air conditioning. , you're, you're in.
51
00:01:58.165 --> 00:02:00.015
Okay. Let's just say you're in France. You're
52
00:02:00.015 --> 00:02:01.175
Doing I'm in France, yeah.
53
00:02:01.175 --> 00:02:03.175
Yeah. French stuff. How was your weekend? It
54
00:02:03.175 --> 00:02:04.855
Makes, it makes sense. You're drinking red wine.
55
00:02:05.395 --> 00:02:08.175
It was hot. It was fun, but it was hot
56
00:02:08.175 --> 00:02:10.615
and you know, like, usually you hear about like a European
57
00:02:10.615 --> 00:02:13.175
heatwave and it's like, oh my God, we're all suffering.
58
00:02:13.175 --> 00:02:16.935
It's 76 degrees. Yeah. It's been in the nineties. Yeah.
59
00:02:16.935 --> 00:02:19.855
Like it was, we did Monet's Garden yesterday. It was 96.
60
00:02:19.945 --> 00:02:21.895
We're in Paris. Today's 98 degrees.
61
00:02:22.285 --> 00:02:23.455
It's, it's, uh, and
62
00:02:23.455 --> 00:02:25.055
that was all humble brags without any
63
00:02:25.055 --> 00:02:26.535
of the humility. It's been,
64
00:02:26.535 --> 00:02:27.575
I mean, to be fair, to be fair,
65
00:02:27.575 --> 00:02:30.495
they do complain about heat waves when it's 76 as well.
66
00:02:30.965 --> 00:02:32.415
They do. They do.
Yes.
67
00:02:32.415 --> 00:02:34.655
And normally when you hear about these European heat waves,
68
00:02:34.655 --> 00:02:36.095
you also hear about like 80
69
00:02:36.155 --> 00:02:39.375
to a hundred old people just dying 'cause there's no AC
70
00:02:39.595 --> 00:02:40.655
and they just overheat.
71
00:02:40.805 --> 00:02:42.175
Well, and that's the thing, right?
72
00:02:42.325 --> 00:02:44.655
It's, it's not the fact that they're, it's not the fact
73
00:02:44.655 --> 00:02:47.095
that Europeans have like less of a tolerance to heat,
74
00:02:47.455 --> 00:02:48.575
although that might be part of it.
75
00:02:48.605 --> 00:02:50.575
It's because they don't have the infrastructure for comfort.
76
00:02:51.115 --> 00:02:52.975
And we have really prioritized
77
00:02:52.975 --> 00:02:54.215
comfort in the United States. .
78
00:02:54.935 --> 00:02:58.135
Yeah. Like I, I have my air conditioner if it's above
79
00:02:58.205 --> 00:03:00.765
72, it's just so they just, they have the infrastructure.
80
00:03:01.075 --> 00:03:03.685
It's just electricity is so expensive there,
81
00:03:03.755 --> 00:03:05.445
it's not feasible for most people.
82
00:03:05.555 --> 00:03:06.445
Well, and for the most part,
83
00:03:06.445 --> 00:03:07.605
you never had summers like this.
84
00:03:07.875 --> 00:03:09.805
Like this was the hottest June on France.
85
00:03:10.105 --> 00:03:12.725
Uh, and, and, and in record for France.
86
00:03:13.265 --> 00:03:15.445
And also like, so I'm in England,
87
00:03:15.455 --> 00:03:17.525
which has the same issue right.
88
00:03:17.855 --> 00:03:22.345
Where even in a new build house Right.
89
00:03:22.375 --> 00:03:23.865
They're not putting
90
00:03:23.925 --> 00:03:25.145
air conditioning in a lot of these places.
91
00:03:25.425 --> 00:03:27.985
'cause this is not a typical summer. Yeah.
92
00:03:28.295 --> 00:03:29.385
Then you also have to feel
93
00:03:29.405 --> 00:03:31.105
for like all the old infrastructure.
94
00:03:31.105 --> 00:03:32.545
Right. Because you have these buildings
95
00:03:32.545 --> 00:03:35.305
that are from like the 16 like that are older than America
96
00:03:35.525 --> 00:03:37.185
and Canada combined.
97
00:03:37.475 --> 00:03:41.915
Right. And you just can't throw in an HVAC system there.
98
00:03:41.935 --> 00:03:43.435
That's not, it's not really. That's true.
99
00:03:43.435 --> 00:03:46.035
That's true. It's
Only easy to retrofit like a proper
100
00:03:46.585 --> 00:03:47.875
central air system.
101
00:03:47.975 --> 00:03:50.555
You could do like the in-room air conditioning units
102
00:03:50.615 --> 00:03:53.635
or whatever, but it's, you can't get like a proper system.
103
00:03:53.985 --> 00:03:55.875
It's just wild to me that a country that used
104
00:03:55.875 --> 00:03:57.235
to run like two thirds
105
00:03:57.235 --> 00:03:59.235
of the planet still hasn't grass basey.
106
00:03:59.425 --> 00:04:01.875
Well, but the other thing is like, they don't, like most
107
00:04:01.875 --> 00:04:05.155
of their buildings are made to keep heat in
108
00:04:05.265 --> 00:04:08.275
because most of their weather related problems are in the
109
00:04:08.275 --> 00:04:09.595
winter when it's too cold.
110
00:04:09.765 --> 00:04:12.595
Right. Like this is, this is a rare problem
111
00:04:13.055 --> 00:04:15.555
and it's becoming more common
112
00:04:15.775 --> 00:04:16.715
and it's going to be a problem
113
00:04:16.715 --> 00:04:17.835
they're going to have to grapple with.
114
00:04:17.895 --> 00:04:19.075
But it's not, here's the
115
00:04:19.245 --> 00:04:21.515
Thing about the central air system is you can plug a
116
00:04:21.515 --> 00:04:23.235
heater into it too and then it also
117
00:04:23.235 --> 00:04:24.435
just heats the house. So
118
00:04:24.505 --> 00:04:25.505
Yeah.
119
00:04:25.505 --> 00:04:27.515
But they like the, the buildings are made to retain heat.
120
00:04:27.885 --> 00:04:29.795
Right, right. Like, like I live in southern
121
00:04:29.795 --> 00:04:30.795
California.
122
00:04:30.795 --> 00:04:31.955
This is guys all of our buildings. This, so I'm
123
00:04:31.955 --> 00:04:33.835
so glad we're going into the history of, you know,
124
00:04:33.905 --> 00:04:35.715
heating and air conditioning.
125
00:04:35.865 --> 00:04:37.315
Alright. Tell us about the history
126
00:04:37.315 --> 00:04:39.595
of buildings in Indianapolis, Alex, where you are.
127
00:04:39.875 --> 00:04:41.275
I don't want to, that's dumb.
128
00:04:41.275 --> 00:04:42.755
That's a dumb conversation to have.
129
00:04:43.105 --> 00:04:45.195
Alright. I got another dumb conversation to have then.
130
00:04:45.215 --> 00:04:47.115
Seeing how you're in a great mood about this stuff.
131
00:04:47.335 --> 00:04:48.995
How do you feel about, how do you feel about
132
00:04:49.225 --> 00:04:50.515
waterfall showers?
133
00:04:50.945 --> 00:04:53.595
Like rain showers?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
134
00:04:53.865 --> 00:04:55.795
Against, um, I'm against.
135
00:04:56.585 --> 00:04:58.955
Okay. All right. Good. We're all on the same page.
136
00:04:59.235 --> 00:05:01.195
I kind of thought they were supposed to be a cool thing.
137
00:05:01.355 --> 00:05:03.235
'cause you go to like nice hotels,
138
00:05:03.295 --> 00:05:04.835
you see a newly renovated bathroom.
139
00:05:04.835 --> 00:05:07.075
They all have these waterfall rain showers.
140
00:05:07.265 --> 00:05:09.315
It's the most impractical way to shower.
141
00:05:10.395 --> 00:05:12.875
Hmm. So I, there,
142
00:05:15.165 --> 00:05:17.635
there are ways to make them very, very good.
143
00:05:17.815 --> 00:05:19.435
And when you see them in commercials
144
00:05:19.435 --> 00:05:21.675
and when you see them in showrooms and everything, um,
145
00:05:21.675 --> 00:05:22.875
because we have one in our house
146
00:05:23.895 --> 00:05:27.795
and the way that they get them so good is they
147
00:05:28.315 --> 00:05:32.315
actually have a individualized pump
148
00:05:33.655 --> 00:05:36.795
for that specific shower head to increase the pressure.
149
00:05:36.955 --> 00:05:38.555
'cause I imagine your issue with a,
150
00:05:38.705 --> 00:05:42.315
with a waterfall rain shower head is it's dispersing
151
00:05:42.315 --> 00:05:44.355
not, and it's not enough pressure. Oh, okay. That's not the
152
00:05:44.475 --> 00:05:45.475
Pressure.
153
00:05:45.475 --> 00:05:46.635
Is that your, is that why you don't like 'em?
154
00:05:47.695 --> 00:05:49.555
That's the majority of why I don't like 'em. Yeah.
155
00:05:49.625 --> 00:05:51.555
Okay.
It takes too long.
156
00:05:51.655 --> 00:05:54.315
It takes too long to get all the soap off
157
00:05:54.315 --> 00:05:57.965
because it's, you're in this rain experience versus it just
158
00:05:57.965 --> 00:05:59.045
hammering it off of you.
159
00:05:59.365 --> 00:06:00.925
I prefer the handle, I prefer the
160
00:06:00.925 --> 00:06:02.525
directional. I wanna be able to like,
161
00:06:02.785 --> 00:06:04.285
That's weird. No one prefers that.
162
00:06:04.305 --> 00:06:05.405
Oh, that's strange. That's
163
00:06:05.405 --> 00:06:06.405
A, yeah.
164
00:06:06.405 --> 00:06:08.285
Get outta here. You belong in Europe with the no ac, you're
165
00:06:08.285 --> 00:06:09.285
Like,
Yeah.
166
00:06:09.285 --> 00:06:10.725
Do you like to Yeah. That's to weird shower
167
00:06:10.745 --> 00:06:12.285
and bathtubs too with no curtain.
168
00:06:13.065 --> 00:06:14.605
Do you wear freak
Rocks?
169
00:06:14.685 --> 00:06:15.885
I have a curtain into the shower.
170
00:06:16.065 --> 00:06:18.805
Do shower in a bathtub in my apartment. That is, that is
171
00:06:18.825 --> 00:06:20.925
Do we dinner at 11:00 PM like
172
00:06:21.445 --> 00:06:22.445
Occasionally?
173
00:06:22.445 --> 00:06:23.685
Yeah. It depends on how things have gone.
174
00:06:23.865 --> 00:06:25.605
No. Use dinner at 5:00 PM
175
00:06:25.965 --> 00:06:28.325
I like to direct the water where I want it to go.
176
00:06:28.435 --> 00:06:29.845
That doesn't feel like a weird fit.
177
00:06:29.845 --> 00:06:30.925
That feels like, that's so weird.
178
00:06:32.285 --> 00:06:34.725
I only, I'm sorry,
You don't seem to chime in on this.
179
00:06:34.865 --> 00:06:36.285
You, you live in my place.
180
00:06:36.505 --> 00:06:37.965
You have the same shower that I do.
181
00:06:38.465 --> 00:06:40.965
But she doesn't like it. .
No, that's,
182
00:06:41.245 --> 00:06:42.485
I cannot believe you like that.
183
00:06:42.595 --> 00:06:44.685
That is the most stupid way to shower.
184
00:06:44.985 --> 00:06:47.685
No, because then you put up there and you get showered on
185
00:06:47.865 --> 00:06:48.885
and then it's like, you know what?
186
00:06:48.905 --> 00:06:50.045
I'd rather hit down here
187
00:06:50.045 --> 00:06:51.205
and then you just grab it
188
00:06:51.345 --> 00:06:53.045
and you, you know. No, you, you, you
189
00:06:53.735 --> 00:06:54.965
Spray
Water everywhere. Warm up.
190
00:06:54.965 --> 00:06:56.885
Well you do. Yeah. You're insane. The water just goes.
191
00:06:57.245 --> 00:06:58.445
Absolutely. You're insane. Same. You go over the top
192
00:06:59.065 --> 00:07:00.685
of the No, that is wild.
193
00:07:00.995 --> 00:07:02.685
That only ever comes up the curtain.
194
00:07:02.835 --> 00:07:05.245
Doesn't matter. I a curtain that walks, cares sleeping.
195
00:07:05.385 --> 00:07:07.205
You don't get an cares on, on any sort
196
00:07:07.205 --> 00:07:09.045
of shower related topics from now on.
197
00:07:09.185 --> 00:07:10.565
So James, why don't you like,
198
00:07:11.025 --> 00:07:13.005
why don't you like rainfall showers? Tim,
199
00:07:13.145 --> 00:07:14.165
Go ahead and mute yourself.
200
00:07:14.225 --> 00:07:16.245
No, no. You can mute yourself next.
201
00:07:16.265 --> 00:07:18.565
You can five to seven minutes. Wow. I would
202
00:07:18.565 --> 00:07:19.565
Like to.
203
00:07:19.565 --> 00:07:21.485
I'm so tired. Wow. It's past midnight here. ,
204
00:07:22.075 --> 00:07:24.445
Look, Hazel's holding up better than you are. Calm down.
205
00:07:24.635 --> 00:07:25.965
Okay, here's my issue with it.
206
00:07:26.075 --> 00:07:29.525
When I stand in a shower, I like having water
207
00:07:29.525 --> 00:07:30.965
Hitting past midnight. Hazel go to
208
00:07:30.965 --> 00:07:31.965
bed.
, .
209
00:07:33.605 --> 00:07:35.085
I like having the water hit me. Right.
210
00:07:35.505 --> 00:07:39.525
But I don't like water just in my face at all times, right?
211
00:07:39.525 --> 00:07:41.165
Mm-hmm. So if it's coming down from the ceiling,
212
00:07:41.265 --> 00:07:43.725
you're either under it or you're like arcing back
213
00:07:43.825 --> 00:07:45.965
or you're like in, you're leaning your head forward.
214
00:07:46.705 --> 00:07:48.765
If only can it can burn it awkward and
215
00:07:48.765 --> 00:07:49.765
Move it.
216
00:07:49.765 --> 00:07:51.845
No, there's literally 97 other
217
00:07:51.845 --> 00:07:53.485
solutions aside from that one.
218
00:07:53.485 --> 00:07:55.605
Yeah. Remember what we told you to mute it?
219
00:07:55.825 --> 00:07:58.125
It was like 30 seconds ago. Yeah. Anyway.
220
00:07:58.505 --> 00:08:01.685
No, just like a normal like 45 degree angle off the thing.
221
00:08:01.685 --> 00:08:04.085
Yeah. Yeah. It's just so much more practical.
222
00:08:04.465 --> 00:08:05.885
You can get everything you need. I don't,
223
00:08:05.935 --> 00:08:06.935
Don't, I don't disagree.
224
00:08:06.935 --> 00:08:10.085
I don't disagree. Yeah. Like I, I, uh,
225
00:08:10.185 --> 00:08:12.525
unless I'm showering with Kelly,
226
00:08:13.405 --> 00:08:16.685
I always use her shower head, which is the non rainfall one.
227
00:08:17.235 --> 00:08:18.605
Because why? Because
228
00:08:18.625 --> 00:08:20.325
Oh, so you got like a both set up?
229
00:08:20.715 --> 00:08:21.765
Yeah, yeah,
230
00:08:21.765 --> 00:08:22.845
Yeah, yeah.
231
00:08:23.145 --> 00:08:27.245
So I, uh, I just thought that was weird and it's like,
232
00:08:27.365 --> 00:08:28.965
'cause you see it in like, it's supposed to be like a nice,
233
00:08:28.995 --> 00:08:32.215
like a luxury thing and I'm like, eh, it's not for me.
234
00:08:32.415 --> 00:08:35.575
I mean it, the good ones are man, like
235
00:08:35.575 --> 00:08:37.735
with it for like 30 seconds pump.
236
00:08:37.925 --> 00:08:39.055
Yeah. It feels nice like
237
00:08:39.055 --> 00:08:40.055
30 seconds.
238
00:08:40.055 --> 00:08:41.455
But then I want like the other one, I can turn that off
239
00:08:41.455 --> 00:08:42.935
and have the other one kick
240
00:08:42.935 --> 00:08:43.935
In.
241
00:08:43.935 --> 00:08:46.655
Well, I mean why, how dare you shower
242
00:08:46.835 --> 00:08:49.375
and showers that don't have multiple options.
243
00:08:50.795 --> 00:08:52.015
Insane. Like, what are
244
00:08:52.015 --> 00:08:53.055
you doing? What are we doing here guys?
245
00:08:53.685 --> 00:08:55.525
Come on.
What are we even doing?
246
00:08:55.715 --> 00:08:58.485
Like, God, we, it's another, it's another water pipe.
247
00:08:58.485 --> 00:09:00.405
What are you talking about? It's easy. Yes. Come on.
248
00:09:00.405 --> 00:09:02.165
Infrastructure my ass. Anyways.
249
00:09:02.775 --> 00:09:03.885
How's your weekend been, Alex?
250
00:09:04.625 --> 00:09:08.005
Uh, it was great. It was, um, the first weekend off since
251
00:09:08.305 --> 00:09:11.685
or not since, uh, before the stretch from hell.
252
00:09:12.025 --> 00:09:14.885
Uh, both literally and proverbially.
253
00:09:15.475 --> 00:09:19.685
Proverb, proverb, proverb, proverbially. You
254
00:09:19.685 --> 00:09:20.685
Got there.
255
00:09:20.685 --> 00:09:21.245
Almost got there. Almost got
256
00:09:21.795 --> 00:09:22.795
Thereally.
257
00:09:22.845 --> 00:09:24.845
Proverbially.
No, don't help him. Don't help
258
00:09:24.845 --> 00:09:25.845
him.
,
259
00:09:25.845 --> 00:09:28.005
proverbially. Anyways, figuratively,
260
00:09:29.925 --> 00:09:31.065
um, happens.
261
00:09:31.785 --> 00:09:33.385
Speaking of heat, uh, we're about
262
00:09:33.385 --> 00:09:37.185
to do five races in a row in July in the Midwest.
263
00:09:37.645 --> 00:09:40.585
One in California. So it's gonna be toasty, one in Canada,
264
00:09:40.965 --> 00:09:42.305
But it's also very hot there, but
265
00:09:42.375 --> 00:09:43.375
Very hot.
266
00:09:43.375 --> 00:09:47.145
So it was nice to, uh, take three, four days off.
267
00:09:47.485 --> 00:09:51.545
Um, we took Ben to the lake for the first time, not
268
00:09:51.545 --> 00:09:53.745
that he saw the lake because he's a newborn.
269
00:09:53.965 --> 00:09:55.305
So I mean, he saw it from a window,
270
00:09:55.405 --> 00:09:56.585
but he was inside the whole time.
271
00:09:57.205 --> 00:09:59.945
And, um, it was just good to, to relax
272
00:10:00.085 --> 00:10:01.545
and not think about race cars for a minute.
273
00:10:01.545 --> 00:10:02.905
Even though that's mostly all
274
00:10:02.905 --> 00:10:04.185
that I did was think about race cars.
275
00:10:04.325 --> 00:10:05.785
So here we are. But it
276
00:10:05.785 --> 00:10:06.825
was a good weekend. Thanks for asking.
277
00:10:07.575 --> 00:10:09.505
What did you think about race cars?
278
00:10:11.165 --> 00:10:14.465
Oh, uh, well, I mean let's just get into it.
279
00:10:14.765 --> 00:10:18.985
Um, I would test guys, I would test Iowa Test happened.
280
00:10:19.085 --> 00:10:23.025
Uh, last time we spoke I was in Altoona, got out of Altoona.
281
00:10:23.525 --> 00:10:27.825
Uh, um, the test was pretty much exactly
282
00:10:28.005 --> 00:10:29.945
as we predicted unfortunately.
283
00:10:30.765 --> 00:10:31.765
Um,
284
00:10:32.205 --> 00:10:33.745
And so, so by that you mean
285
00:10:34.245 --> 00:10:35.425
you were painting the white line?
286
00:10:35.605 --> 00:10:38.145
If you dunno what that means, the last Thursday show
287
00:10:38.745 --> 00:10:41.065
Painting the white line adjacent, but yes, you were flat.
288
00:10:41.065 --> 00:10:42.825
Okay. Like on all trim levels? Yeah.
289
00:10:42.845 --> 00:10:45.305
Really. Okay. And second lane.
290
00:10:46.585 --> 00:10:48.045
No, there isn't one. Not a thing.
291
00:10:48.165 --> 00:10:50.805
I mean
Not a thing. It's there. You can't use it.
292
00:10:51.345 --> 00:10:53.405
Um, failing right front tires.
293
00:10:54.625 --> 00:10:57.245
Um, not awesome suboptimal.
294
00:10:57.385 --> 00:11:00.205
And so coming out of it, it was like, oh,
295
00:11:00.395 --> 00:11:03.445
well this new package idea didn't work,
296
00:11:04.905 --> 00:11:06.765
so what are we gonna do?
297
00:11:07.995 --> 00:11:09.725
Well, turns out
298
00:11:11.095 --> 00:11:15.365
after the test, we're now getting a new right front tire
299
00:11:15.665 --> 00:11:19.765
and it's like, well, well yeah, ,
300
00:11:21.165 --> 00:11:23.205
I mean, who, who could have seen that coming?
301
00:11:24.025 --> 00:11:25.025
Am I right?
302
00:11:26.305 --> 00:11:30.365
So the package is staying the same and Firestone
303
00:11:30.915 --> 00:11:31.915
Make change to the tire.
304
00:11:31.915 --> 00:11:34.005
Pretty much similar with the new right front tire
305
00:11:34.075 --> 00:11:35.125
that no one's seen before.
306
00:11:35.475 --> 00:11:38.405
Yeah. Okay. So, alright. All right.
307
00:11:38.865 --> 00:11:40.405
So, uh, how, how was the I
308
00:11:40.615 --> 00:11:42.525
Would like our, I would like our test day back.
309
00:11:42.595 --> 00:11:43.845
That would be nice. Um,
310
00:11:43.845 --> 00:11:46.045
because that seems like a massive waste of time for
311
00:11:46.205 --> 00:11:47.205
Everyone.
312
00:11:47.205 --> 00:11:48.845
Wait, hang on. So it was a, it was a full field test that
313
00:11:48.845 --> 00:11:50.805
that countered against your guys test.
314
00:11:50.835 --> 00:11:52.405
Sure did, Tim. Sure did.
315
00:11:52.435 --> 00:11:54.605
Sure did, sure did, sure did. So that better.
316
00:11:54.625 --> 00:11:57.365
And
We get what retest days is in
317
00:11:57.365 --> 00:11:58.285
Season. Just the one.
318
00:11:58.595 --> 00:12:01.685
Just one. Oh, that's the only test day in season you get.
319
00:12:01.875 --> 00:12:04.125
Yeah. And everyone obviously was gonna use that.
320
00:12:04.195 --> 00:12:05.605
Well, unless you have a Iny lights team
321
00:12:05.605 --> 00:12:08.485
or a rookie, everyone was obviously gonna use it
322
00:12:08.485 --> 00:12:09.965
because it was a completely new package.
323
00:12:10.225 --> 00:12:13.045
So you can't not go to Iowa because,
324
00:12:13.785 --> 00:12:15.125
but now you have completely tight 20.
325
00:12:15.815 --> 00:12:17.605
Right. So I'd like that day back.
326
00:12:17.805 --> 00:12:19.525
'cause it'd be nice to go to, I don't know, Portland,
327
00:12:20.065 --> 00:12:22.485
Laguna Milwaukee, Nashville.
328
00:12:22.765 --> 00:12:23.925
I don't know any of them.
329
00:12:27.425 --> 00:12:29.485
So yeah, so that, so there's that,
330
00:12:29.905 --> 00:12:31.605
uh, the call was very good.
331
00:12:32.145 --> 00:12:35.335
We were kind of, we were quickest the whole day.
332
00:12:35.475 --> 00:12:36.935
Uh, me and Joseph were going back
333
00:12:36.935 --> 00:12:38.015
and forth, which was kind of funny.
334
00:12:38.025 --> 00:12:40.055
Every time one of us would put on our set
335
00:12:40.055 --> 00:12:42.095
of tires, he'd obviously trim.
336
00:12:42.395 --> 00:12:44.135
So you'd go like a 10th, quicker, 10th quicker.
337
00:12:44.155 --> 00:12:45.975
And it was kind of this thing. And then
338
00:12:45.975 --> 00:12:47.335
Christian failed write front tire.
339
00:12:48.035 --> 00:12:49.455
And so then my day was done early.
340
00:12:49.775 --> 00:12:51.535
'cause we didn't want to keep going.
341
00:12:52.035 --> 00:12:53.975
So, which is understandable. So,
342
00:12:54.195 --> 00:12:57.215
Um, on a test day where you're trying to, like you're,
343
00:12:57.215 --> 00:12:59.255
you're trying to test, you're learning things.
344
00:12:59.255 --> 00:13:00.855
You're not, you're not specifically going
345
00:13:00.855 --> 00:13:02.695
through like a practice day where you're like, Hey,
346
00:13:02.695 --> 00:13:05.015
on this one we're, we're gearing towards qualifying
347
00:13:05.015 --> 00:13:06.735
or this we're going gearing towards risk. No,
348
00:13:06.815 --> 00:13:08.575
You are, you are like,
How much, how much are you
349
00:13:08.575 --> 00:13:09.695
trying to beat Joseph?
350
00:13:10.915 --> 00:13:12.255
Not
At all. Or whoever. How much are you trying
351
00:13:12.255 --> 00:13:13.615
to get the first, first place?
352
00:13:13.635 --> 00:13:17.375
Not at all. Um, but we are exactly doing that.
353
00:13:17.555 --> 00:13:19.855
So you, because it's a whole new package.
354
00:13:20.275 --> 00:13:23.455
Um, you're doing Q sims on every set of new tires
355
00:13:23.485 --> 00:13:27.295
because that's the only time you can do a Q sim
356
00:13:27.295 --> 00:13:28.335
really is on you set tires.
357
00:13:28.355 --> 00:13:30.375
So every time you're doing a qim you're changing the,
358
00:13:30.375 --> 00:13:31.815
the trim level, the downforce level,
359
00:13:32.395 --> 00:13:34.455
and then you run the tires out
360
00:13:34.915 --> 00:13:36.215
by doing kind of race running.
361
00:13:36.355 --> 00:13:39.255
So kind of longer stints, heavier fuel, that sort of thing.
362
00:13:39.515 --> 00:13:44.135
So, um, yeah, I mean it's, it's, it's,
363
00:13:44.135 --> 00:13:47.855
it's sad guys because none of this, none
364
00:13:47.855 --> 00:13:49.535
of this whatsoever is IndyCar's fault.
365
00:13:49.835 --> 00:13:51.575
Um, none of it's Firestone's fault.
366
00:13:51.995 --> 00:13:56.455
Uh, we just got absolutely bamboozled
367
00:13:56.715 --> 00:13:57.975
by another track.
368
00:13:58.495 --> 00:13:59.575
Repave. Yeah.
369
00:13:59.635 --> 00:14:03.495
And it's really sad because we all know what Iowa was.
370
00:14:04.035 --> 00:14:07.815
And quite frankly, I I'm sorry, I'm just gonna say it.
371
00:14:07.815 --> 00:14:10.415
It'll never get back to that. So I
372
00:14:10.415 --> 00:14:11.415
Don't know.
373
00:14:11.415 --> 00:14:11.775
We need to blame somebody.
374
00:14:11.995 --> 00:14:14.375
Can we just say it's Tino's fault now that I've,
375
00:14:14.415 --> 00:14:16.215
I knew you were gonna say apparently been a coward about
376
00:14:16.215 --> 00:14:17.295
calling him out on anything.
377
00:14:17.535 --> 00:14:20.375
I knew you were gonna say that and No, you can't,
378
00:14:20.835 --> 00:14:22.095
you can't say that anymore.
379
00:14:22.395 --> 00:14:25.095
So, I'm sorry. Um, okay.
380
00:14:25.155 --> 00:14:28.735
So unfortunate suboptimal, uh, as we like to say,
381
00:14:30.625 --> 00:14:32.475
yeah, there's, I mean I can't, I'm trying to, I was trying
382
00:14:32.475 --> 00:14:33.475
to find a silver lining there
383
00:14:33.475 --> 00:14:37.195
or something to make it seem less not great. Hey,
384
00:14:37.255 --> 00:14:38.315
At least we're all gonna die.
385
00:14:43.405 --> 00:14:44.805
I mean,
Silver lining
386
00:14:45.735 --> 00:14:46.735
Eventually.
387
00:14:47.115 --> 00:14:51.125
Yeah.
So the dying parts, the silver lining
388
00:14:51.575 --> 00:14:52.575
Eventually.
389
00:14:52.575 --> 00:14:53.245
Yeah, eventually. Yeah.
390
00:14:55.895 --> 00:14:59.525
So that is to say dying. None of it
391
00:14:59.525 --> 00:15:00.525
Matters.
392
00:15:00.525 --> 00:15:01.805
I've really embraced neoism.
393
00:15:02.835 --> 00:15:05.175
No, yes. It's nothing does matter.
394
00:15:05.235 --> 00:15:06.495
That's, you know, that's true.
395
00:15:06.755 --> 00:15:10.255
It was a, a story that came up to dinner that was why worry,
396
00:15:10.525 --> 00:15:12.695
because in life is only two things to worry about.
397
00:15:12.885 --> 00:15:14.575
Whether you're healthy or whether you're sick.
398
00:15:14.635 --> 00:15:15.935
If you're healthy, there's nothing to worry about.
399
00:15:15.955 --> 00:15:17.055
If you're sick, there's only two things
400
00:15:17.055 --> 00:15:20.015
to worry about whether you get better or whether you die.
401
00:15:20.015 --> 00:15:21.295
If you get better, there's nothing to worry about.
402
00:15:21.315 --> 00:15:23.015
If you die, there's only two things to worry about,
403
00:15:23.165 --> 00:15:25.215
whether you go to heaven or whether you go to hell.
404
00:15:25.235 --> 00:15:26.695
If you go to heaven, you got nothing to worry about.
405
00:15:26.715 --> 00:15:28.455
If you go to hell, you're gonna be too damn busy
406
00:15:28.455 --> 00:15:29.575
shaking hands with all your friends.
407
00:15:29.575 --> 00:15:33.175
You won't have time to worry, so why worry. Exactly.
408
00:15:33.385 --> 00:15:34.455
Great show guys. Great
409
00:15:34.455 --> 00:15:35.455
show
.
410
00:15:36.075 --> 00:15:37.215
God, we have so much left.
411
00:15:38.075 --> 00:15:39.075
Uh,
,
412
00:15:39.995 --> 00:15:41.535
Did uh, did you watch the Formula
413
00:15:41.635 --> 00:15:42.655
One race on the weekend, Alex?
414
00:15:43.295 --> 00:15:45.295
I did. James, what a,
How did you find it?
415
00:15:46.315 --> 00:15:49.935
Er, sorry, Hazel, the first, um,
416
00:15:51.915 --> 00:15:54.055
The first like 20 laps were good.
417
00:15:55.165 --> 00:15:58.815
Were they
Lando and Oscar kind of going at it and
418
00:15:59.215 --> 00:16:00.415
I mean, not really the
419
00:16:00.415 --> 00:16:03.535
Race for the lead between teammates and what have you?
420
00:16:04.045 --> 00:16:07.135
Yeah. Okay. I guess it was okay.
421
00:16:07.725 --> 00:16:09.135
Yeah, I thought the two racing
422
00:16:09.395 --> 00:16:13.215
for the lead at the beginning was fun. And then after that,
423
00:16:14.135 --> 00:16:16.975
I guess less, I guess I, I was
424
00:16:17.115 --> 00:16:21.055
so bored from lap 20 to the end that I forgot about
425
00:16:21.055 --> 00:16:22.775
that little, little battle. It's
426
00:16:22.775 --> 00:16:25.615
Funny, we've said this before, if, if a race is terrible,
427
00:16:25.835 --> 00:16:27.215
but the last 10 laps are
428
00:16:27.215 --> 00:16:28.375
good, everyone thinks it was a good race.
429
00:16:28.635 --> 00:16:32.715
So this is like the converse side of that, which is the race
430
00:16:32.855 --> 00:16:34.275
for the first 20 laps was pretty good.
431
00:16:34.275 --> 00:16:35.635
And then after that got kind of boring
432
00:16:35.695 --> 00:16:37.035
and so nobody really cares.
433
00:16:37.535 --> 00:16:39.755
Can we talk about the, the elephant in the room?
434
00:16:39.895 --> 00:16:41.235
And for once, I don't mean myself.
435
00:16:42.055 --> 00:16:46.525
Uh, IndyCar, you could make an argument
436
00:16:46.525 --> 00:16:48.245
that IndyCar has gotten boring.
437
00:16:49.125 --> 00:16:50.155
We've had two winners.
438
00:16:50.155 --> 00:16:52.435
It's, I'm saying we've had banger races,
439
00:16:52.655 --> 00:16:54.235
but we've had two winners this season.
440
00:16:54.725 --> 00:16:55.715
We've had less. But, so what's
441
00:16:55.715 --> 00:16:56.795
more important, what's more important?
442
00:16:57.275 --> 00:16:59.195
Multiple winners or like exciting races,
443
00:16:59.195 --> 00:17:01.155
even if it's the same two guys, like what's actually
444
00:17:01.155 --> 00:17:02.155
Important?
445
00:17:02.155 --> 00:17:03.075
I agree, but I'm just trying to bring up
446
00:17:03.075 --> 00:17:04.115
the devil's advocate point of view.
447
00:17:04.145 --> 00:17:08.195
Like we used to always talk about F1 where, oh,
448
00:17:08.335 --> 00:17:10.355
max is the only one who's gonna win in this time.
449
00:17:10.355 --> 00:17:14.315
Yeah, but Max, max Max would win by 27 seconds.
450
00:17:14.415 --> 00:17:15.435
It was never challenged.
451
00:17:15.895 --> 00:17:20.675
So aside from I think thermal this year,
452
00:17:22.365 --> 00:17:23.905
no, not even thermal. No.
453
00:17:24.025 --> 00:17:25.145
'cause even thermal, he had to like
454
00:17:25.145 --> 00:17:26.545
race through the field at the end. Right.
455
00:17:26.965 --> 00:17:28.625
Was it St. Pete? There was one where he won
456
00:17:28.645 --> 00:17:32.205
by like a fricking was GP Country Mile maybe.
457
00:17:33.065 --> 00:17:35.125
Yes. Probably That makes sense.
458
00:17:35.125 --> 00:17:39.805
Anyways, yeah, aside from one of them, he, he being Alex,
459
00:17:40.065 --> 00:17:42.405
he being Kyle like, had to race their way to win
460
00:17:42.405 --> 00:17:44.245
and they just did better than everyone else.
461
00:17:44.425 --> 00:17:46.085
It wasn't that they just started on pole
462
00:17:46.345 --> 00:17:47.525
and drove away from everyone.
463
00:17:47.925 --> 00:17:52.605
Ola Max, ala Lewis, Vel, all whatever. Right.
464
00:17:53.385 --> 00:17:55.445
So while we've only had two winners,
465
00:17:55.465 --> 00:17:58.085
and while there were certainly some snoozers
466
00:17:58.085 --> 00:18:00.605
to start the year, I do feel like the racing,
467
00:18:00.695 --> 00:18:03.935
especially the past, well Indy five,
468
00:18:03.965 --> 00:18:06.775
500 onwards has been fantastic. So I
469
00:18:06.775 --> 00:18:07.775
Agree.
470
00:18:07.775 --> 00:18:08.495
Okay. And I think that's more important.
471
00:18:09.595 --> 00:18:10.695
Me too. I think it's more
Important,
472
00:18:11.085 --> 00:18:14.575
like when Max was winning everything in F1, it was,
473
00:18:15.575 --> 00:18:16.875
It was just a foregone conclusion.
474
00:18:17.255 --> 00:18:18.755
It was a foregone conclusion. Like you had
475
00:18:18.755 --> 00:18:19.915
to look for something exciting.
476
00:18:19.915 --> 00:18:21.315
You're like, oh, he managed
477
00:18:21.315 --> 00:18:24.435
to do the fastest lap on the last lap going 1.3 seconds
478
00:18:24.435 --> 00:18:25.915
faster than he had all day.
479
00:18:26.075 --> 00:18:27.115
Like, that's kind of cool.
480
00:18:27.175 --> 00:18:29.075
But like you had to go looking for that, right? Yes.
481
00:18:29.465 --> 00:18:32.275
What I, what I liked about that race though was it was good
482
00:18:32.275 --> 00:18:33.515
to see Lando show back up.
483
00:18:34.025 --> 00:18:37.275
That pull margin at a very short lap was super impressive.
484
00:18:38.135 --> 00:18:41.075
And, uh, we got a championship, you know, if, if, if,
485
00:18:41.075 --> 00:18:42.715
especially after Montreal, if Lando
486
00:18:42.735 --> 00:18:45.635
or sorry, if Oscar just kept winning, it was gonna be,
487
00:18:46.275 --> 00:18:48.845
I don't know, it was gonna start looking like it was gonna
488
00:18:48.845 --> 00:18:49.885
be tough to overhaul him,
489
00:18:50.145 --> 00:18:53.005
but Lando had an on weekend, he looked relaxed all weekend,
490
00:18:53.765 --> 00:18:56.125
executed in every session, did the job in the race,
491
00:18:56.375 --> 00:18:58.925
Which I think, which I think says a lot about him coming
492
00:18:58.925 --> 00:19:00.245
off of what happened in Montreal.
493
00:19:00.455 --> 00:19:02.645
Right, for sure. Like that's, that's a,
494
00:19:02.645 --> 00:19:06.165
that's a big testament to his mental fortitude
495
00:19:06.585 --> 00:19:08.085
and his resilience and,
496
00:19:08.085 --> 00:19:12.245
and everything going, um, going into the rest of the year.
497
00:19:12.385 --> 00:19:14.405
So I I was one that kind of,
498
00:19:14.405 --> 00:19:17.045
after a couple races was starting to doubt whether,
499
00:19:17.105 --> 00:19:18.485
you know, Oscar was in his head or not.
500
00:19:19.125 --> 00:19:21.605
Montreal was like a big wow kind of moment
501
00:19:21.745 --> 00:19:22.845
for I think everyone,
502
00:19:23.465 --> 00:19:27.605
and then he came, he, he withstood the pressure from Oscar
503
00:19:27.625 --> 00:19:30.005
who was I think definitely quicker in that first stint
504
00:19:30.305 --> 00:19:31.645
and then pretty much had it under
505
00:19:31.645 --> 00:19:32.885
control for the rest of the day.
506
00:19:33.025 --> 00:19:34.365
So yeah. Um, you're right.
507
00:19:34.385 --> 00:19:36.165
You know that, that is cool to see.
508
00:19:36.165 --> 00:19:37.245
That's great for the championship.
509
00:19:37.395 --> 00:19:41.645
What did you think of, what did you think of Max's reaction?
510
00:19:41.785 --> 00:19:43.805
Do you think he just doesn't care
511
00:19:43.855 --> 00:19:45.085
about this year at this point?
512
00:19:45.225 --> 00:19:47.205
So he is just like, sweet, I get to go home early
513
00:19:47.205 --> 00:19:48.245
and see my kid see
514
00:19:48.245 --> 00:19:49.245
You.
515
00:19:49.245 --> 00:19:49.925
He got, he got to sit and watch the,
516
00:19:50.265 --> 00:19:52.365
the Berg ring 20 or the spa 24 .
517
00:19:52.685 --> 00:19:54.325
Like that's what he was watching instead, right?
518
00:19:54.645 --> 00:19:56.525
I think, I think Max only cares about winning.
519
00:19:56.665 --> 00:19:58.525
He knew he had no chance of winning that race.
520
00:19:58.745 --> 00:20:00.525
He knows at this point he is probably got no
521
00:20:00.525 --> 00:20:01.605
chance of winning the championship.
522
00:20:01.825 --> 00:20:02.925
So for him, he's going through the
523
00:20:02.925 --> 00:20:03.965
motions at this point, right?
524
00:20:03.995 --> 00:20:06.805
Like, he'll go into every weekend hoping
525
00:20:06.915 --> 00:20:08.645
that they've got the car better
526
00:20:08.745 --> 00:20:11.325
or the conditions suit the car with the track, whatever.
527
00:20:11.665 --> 00:20:13.645
And he will give it a hundred percent as he always does.
528
00:20:14.385 --> 00:20:18.125
But if he has no chance, I think he's
529
00:20:18.785 --> 00:20:19.885
not checked out, he's still
530
00:20:19.885 --> 00:20:20.965
gonna go and give it a hundred percent.
531
00:20:20.985 --> 00:20:22.965
But if somebody takes him out on lap one, it's kinda like,
532
00:20:22.965 --> 00:20:24.245
eh, whatever it is what it is.
533
00:20:24.365 --> 00:20:25.925
I wasn't gonna win. This one was
534
00:20:25.925 --> 00:20:27.285
short, short of some miracle.
535
00:20:27.985 --> 00:20:29.125
Um, I felt bad
536
00:20:29.125 --> 00:20:31.445
for Kimmy like innocent mistake, things like that happened.
537
00:20:31.505 --> 00:20:33.455
But, you know, I was glad that
538
00:20:33.455 --> 00:20:35.575
that Max wasn't actually like <inaudible> about it
539
00:20:35.995 --> 00:20:38.435
and didn't make it worse for the kid.
540
00:20:38.435 --> 00:20:40.315
It's coming off his first podium, you know,
541
00:20:40.315 --> 00:20:41.755
best result in his career, whatever.
542
00:20:41.775 --> 00:20:42.915
And then he is like, yeah, all right,
543
00:20:43.035 --> 00:20:44.035
I finally figured it out.
544
00:20:44.135 --> 00:20:48.485
Lap one takes out the, the Reign champion. Tough luck.
545
00:20:52.305 --> 00:20:53.805
The other side of that garage though,
546
00:20:53.805 --> 00:20:55.165
on the Mercedes side is interesting.
547
00:20:55.425 --> 00:20:59.205
The fact that George doesn't have a contract yet is
548
00:21:00.825 --> 00:21:02.855
shocking with how he's finding Well
549
00:21:02.855 --> 00:21:05.175
I think they know I'm, they know I'm still available. But
550
00:21:05.175 --> 00:21:06.775
Do you not think, do you not think
551
00:21:06.775 --> 00:21:07.935
that's all coming from George?
552
00:21:07.995 --> 00:21:09.175
That's not a Meck thing.
553
00:21:09.275 --> 00:21:11.615
I'm sure Merck would have resigned him immediately.
554
00:21:12.235 --> 00:21:17.095
No, no. Apparently it is, there is some 0.1% chance
555
00:21:17.125 --> 00:21:18.775
that Max leaves Red Bull
556
00:21:19.115 --> 00:21:22.735
and Toto is like so bent outta shape about the fact
557
00:21:22.735 --> 00:21:24.215
that he let Max go the first time
558
00:21:24.685 --> 00:21:26.975
that they're literally putting George who's driving better
559
00:21:26.975 --> 00:21:28.095
than he has in his entire career.
560
00:21:28.195 --> 00:21:29.415
He is driving exceptionally well.
561
00:21:29.435 --> 00:21:31.015
He is absolutely probably better than everybody
562
00:21:31.035 --> 00:21:33.215
but Max, you know, agreed.
563
00:21:33.395 --> 00:21:35.855
And and they're not giving him a, a deal
564
00:21:35.985 --> 00:21:40.015
until they know 1000% that Max is not leaving Red Bull. So
565
00:21:40.395 --> 00:21:42.695
In a situation like that,
Could you imagine? Yeah.
566
00:21:43.155 --> 00:21:44.415
In a situation like that,
567
00:21:44.435 --> 00:21:46.215
is there any recourse that George has?
568
00:21:46.245 --> 00:21:47.815
Like can he rake him over the coals
569
00:21:47.815 --> 00:21:50.255
later to get a higher deal? Can he threaten you with unless
570
00:21:50.255 --> 00:21:52.415
He has
Another option or can he just sit there and
571
00:21:52.475 --> 00:21:53.535
and just have to take it?
572
00:21:53.805 --> 00:21:56.135
Well, where's he gonna go? Like, I mean, that's the thing.
573
00:21:56.155 --> 00:21:59.135
Unless, unless you have a viable option that can be like,
574
00:21:59.315 --> 00:22:01.175
Hey, I'm out the door. See ya.
575
00:22:01.275 --> 00:22:02.655
All right, I'm starting right out.
576
00:22:02.655 --> 00:22:03.775
George Russell, the coin ,
577
00:22:05.035 --> 00:22:07.095
He can't Dixon's taking the seat. He can't do
578
00:22:07.095 --> 00:22:08.095
It.
579
00:22:08.095 --> 00:22:08.255
Sorry. Dixon's got that seat. Yeah,
580
00:22:08.405 --> 00:22:09.655
Dixon's got that seat unlocked.
581
00:22:09.655 --> 00:22:10.775
That's, that's a done deal.
582
00:22:11.655 --> 00:22:13.655
I that one's an interesting one
583
00:22:13.655 --> 00:22:16.095
because fine, George needs to, to go somewhere.
584
00:22:16.095 --> 00:22:18.155
He needs some leverage. I don't know
585
00:22:18.155 --> 00:22:19.755
who has seats available next year.
586
00:22:20.005 --> 00:22:22.115
Let's say for the sake of argument,
587
00:22:22.815 --> 00:22:24.075
Alpine has a seat, right?
588
00:22:24.215 --> 00:22:25.435
Not a great team. Fine.
589
00:22:25.735 --> 00:22:27.715
But let's say Flavio is willing
590
00:22:27.715 --> 00:22:29.435
to back the Brinks truck up for him.
591
00:22:29.665 --> 00:22:32.195
Okay. And out of, out of, out of, you know,
592
00:22:32.195 --> 00:22:34.515
feeling a little bit hurt by
593
00:22:35.295 --> 00:22:36.515
not getting offered a contract
594
00:22:36.515 --> 00:22:37.595
while he is in the form of his life.
595
00:22:39.685 --> 00:22:42.395
Who's Mercedes gonna put into George leaves? Right?
596
00:22:42.395 --> 00:22:43.955
Like, it does kind of work both ways.
597
00:22:44.065 --> 00:22:46.755
It's not like there's a ton of free agents on the market.
598
00:22:46.815 --> 00:22:48.315
George is a little bit outta sync.
599
00:22:48.765 --> 00:22:51.075
Lando and, and, uh, Oscar are locked up.
600
00:22:51.295 --> 00:22:53.035
Cheryl and Lewis are locked up.
601
00:22:53.105 --> 00:22:54.675
Science and Alban are locked up.
602
00:22:54.945 --> 00:22:59.105
Like you're, you know, if if Max isn't moving,
603
00:22:59.445 --> 00:23:02.025
max is locked up, you wouldn't want most
604
00:23:02.025 --> 00:23:03.345
of the other like maybe head jar,
605
00:23:03.345 --> 00:23:04.505
but he's not going any like,
606
00:23:04.525 --> 00:23:05.665
red Bull's not gonna let him go.
607
00:23:06.125 --> 00:23:08.225
So like, who else would you actually go for?
608
00:23:08.545 --> 00:23:09.745
Mercedes needs a front man.
609
00:23:10.255 --> 00:23:12.105
Jimmy's still a rookie, even
610
00:23:12.105 --> 00:23:13.465
for next year have one year experience,
611
00:23:13.465 --> 00:23:15.305
brand new car development, all that sort of stuff.
612
00:23:15.305 --> 00:23:16.905
Like you need a, you need a peddler, man.
613
00:23:17.045 --> 00:23:20.915
So I think if, if they mess around too long
614
00:23:20.915 --> 00:23:22.235
and they eventually come back to the table,
615
00:23:22.395 --> 00:23:23.995
I think George does have a little bit of leverage
616
00:23:23.995 --> 00:23:25.715
and being like, you got like this was the,
617
00:23:25.905 --> 00:23:29.305
this was the May price, this is the August price.
618
00:23:29.685 --> 00:23:31.265
You know, I think there's a little bit of that
619
00:23:31.675 --> 00:23:32.845
because they need somebody.
620
00:23:33.005 --> 00:23:34.405
I don't know. That's gonna be an interesting
621
00:23:34.405 --> 00:23:37.155
negotiation. Um, all
622
00:23:37.275 --> 00:23:40.355
Right, well and good F1 chat,
623
00:23:40.375 --> 00:23:41.595
unless there's more to go over.
624
00:23:42.135 --> 00:23:44.155
We do have, we have a race coming up this weekend.
625
00:23:44.575 --> 00:23:48.365
We do. We do. MidOhio, Alex
Now
626
00:23:48.365 --> 00:23:49.365
We race.
627
00:23:49.365 --> 00:23:51.405
You've traditionally done very well at Alex.
628
00:23:54.155 --> 00:23:56.485
Yeah.
Yep. Good
629
00:23:56.485 --> 00:23:57.485
Chat.
630
00:23:57.485 --> 00:23:58.205
Good chat. See you next week.
631
00:23:58.425 --> 00:23:59.425
Mm-hmm
.
632
00:23:59.425 --> 00:24:02.245
Mm-hmm
. Uh, . Wish you could get that test day back
633
00:24:02.245 --> 00:24:04.445
and go to mid Ohio tomorrow and,
634
00:24:05.035 --> 00:24:06.405
Well, I guess, don't worry, I'm going
635
00:24:06.405 --> 00:24:08.205
to the sim tomorrow instead, so it's fine.
636
00:24:08.785 --> 00:24:09.485
Oh, so that's perfect.
637
00:24:09.485 --> 00:24:10.885
That'll be just as good as the testing.
638
00:24:11.225 --> 00:24:12.925
Pretty much the same, same thing.
639
00:24:13.665 --> 00:24:15.605
So we're going back. So that would be like,
640
00:24:15.605 --> 00:24:17.845
we're looking roughly at the one year anniversary
641
00:24:17.845 --> 00:24:18.965
of the hybrid, because
642
00:24:20.185 --> 00:24:21.185
We are pretty, that's where it was
643
00:24:21.225 --> 00:24:22.325
De right? Pretty much.
644
00:24:23.145 --> 00:24:24.645
Um, it was,
645
00:24:24.925 --> 00:24:27.045
I know we ran it at Gateway, but that was later the year.
646
00:24:27.305 --> 00:24:28.845
Yes. So we're kind at the one year mark
647
00:24:28.865 --> 00:24:29.865
Now.
648
00:24:29.865 --> 00:24:32.685
We sure are. What is your, what is your approval rating
649
00:24:33.105 --> 00:24:34.365
of said system
650
00:24:36.325 --> 00:24:37.325
A year in?
651
00:24:37.445 --> 00:24:38.645
Hmm?
Are we giving it a year?
652
00:24:38.725 --> 00:24:39.965
A one year report card? Yeah,
653
00:24:40.055 --> 00:24:41.125
Let's give it a grade.
654
00:24:41.875 --> 00:24:43.565
Okay. That's, this is good. I like this.
655
00:24:43.715 --> 00:24:46.485
This is a nice, this is a fun little exercise. Hmm. Um,
656
00:24:47.235 --> 00:24:48.405
Well I let Tim go first.
657
00:24:49.265 --> 00:24:52.565
Tim, go ahead.
I'm against it, but only
658
00:24:52.565 --> 00:24:55.245
because I don't like any more fuel efficiency.
659
00:24:55.675 --> 00:24:57.125
Like, I think No worry
660
00:24:57.125 --> 00:25:01.565
Should be,
I think we should have, uh, I,
661
00:25:02.255 --> 00:25:03.875
you know, what, what has the environment done
662
00:25:03.875 --> 00:25:06.995
for us lately is kind of my attitude. It's just ruin
663
00:25:07.315 --> 00:25:08.315
Whatever we can do sleeps right now.
664
00:25:09.105 --> 00:25:12.195
Yeah. Like I've been here without air conditioning
665
00:25:12.195 --> 00:25:13.555
and I'm, I'm gonna get home
666
00:25:13.555 --> 00:25:16.355
and turn it on nonstop for at least three
667
00:25:16.415 --> 00:25:17.915
or four months just
668
00:25:17.915 --> 00:25:19.195
To balance it out. Yeah.
669
00:25:19.345 --> 00:25:21.475
Okay. Weird how you're gonna turn like 10 days
670
00:25:21.735 --> 00:25:23.955
of not having it into three months of just,
671
00:25:24.425 --> 00:25:25.425
It's the American way.
672
00:25:25.425 --> 00:25:26.915
Inces all James.
673
00:25:27.545 --> 00:25:30.475
Damn right. It is. Um,
I'm gonna give it a b plus.
674
00:25:31.675 --> 00:25:33.675
Interesting. Why?
Here's
675
00:25:33.675 --> 00:25:35.115
what I'll give it a b plus. Um,
676
00:25:35.345 --> 00:25:37.795
Wait, before you give you reasons I wanna give
677
00:25:37.795 --> 00:25:39.795
mine my rating. You're
678
00:25:39.795 --> 00:25:40.395
Great. Okay.
679
00:25:40.615 --> 00:25:43.675
Yes. C
Okay. So
680
00:25:44.295 --> 00:25:45.295
Go for your reasons.
681
00:25:46.355 --> 00:25:47.655
My reasons are I didn't
682
00:25:47.655 --> 00:25:48.735
Know we were doing a letter grades.
683
00:25:49.015 --> 00:25:51.575
I would've said, I would've said a d just, but same reasons.
684
00:25:51.805 --> 00:25:53.055
It's just that's what, just
685
00:25:53.175 --> 00:25:55.935
'cause I, I didn't want to outta letter grades. Yeah.
686
00:25:56.075 --> 00:26:00.335
Got it. Okay. Um, d for don't
687
00:26:01.285 --> 00:26:02.975
talk anymore during this discussion.
688
00:26:03.075 --> 00:26:04.975
All right. So, um,
689
00:26:05.845 --> 00:26:07.655
It's interesting that you bring that up because ,
690
00:26:09.795 --> 00:26:10.795
I'm glad you said that.
691
00:26:10.795 --> 00:26:11.655
Uh, now that you mentioned it,
692
00:26:13.995 --> 00:26:15.015
No, 'cause so here's the thing.
693
00:26:15.035 --> 00:26:17.735
For me it's b plus because I'll be, you know, totally honest
694
00:26:17.795 --> 00:26:18.775
and I think, I don't think this
695
00:26:18.775 --> 00:26:19.895
is gonna be a surprise to anybody.
696
00:26:20.315 --> 00:26:22.455
Um, I was expecting a lot more issues.
697
00:26:23.595 --> 00:26:26.395
I was expecting, look, we've had some issues.
698
00:26:27.075 --> 00:26:29.435
I don't think we've had anywhere near as many in races
699
00:26:29.615 --> 00:26:30.755
as I was expecting.
700
00:26:31.535 --> 00:26:33.435
Um, there have been issues in practices,
701
00:26:33.555 --> 00:26:35.515
obviously we had weird stuff like
702
00:26:35.515 --> 00:26:38.715
what happened in qualifying at Iowa last year,
703
00:26:38.965 --> 00:26:40.195
which mm-hmm .
704
00:26:40.455 --> 00:26:42.795
Was more of like a timing and scoring issue than a,
705
00:26:42.795 --> 00:26:44.285
like it wasn't the system itself,
706
00:26:44.345 --> 00:26:46.085
it was just the whole procedure, whatever.
707
00:26:46.105 --> 00:26:48.405
Mm. I think that having the ability
708
00:26:48.405 --> 00:26:50.365
to restart the cars has been a big plus.
709
00:26:51.105 --> 00:26:54.325
Um, it's easier to reverse cars, which is a big plus.
710
00:26:55.405 --> 00:26:59.245
I think that it has a bigger effect on,
711
00:27:00.535 --> 00:27:01.655
I guess lemme rephrase that.
712
00:27:02.055 --> 00:27:05.295
I think it's had, um, there's more
713
00:27:06.995 --> 00:27:09.645
disparity in how it's used than I was expecting.
714
00:27:10.045 --> 00:27:14.515
I kind of thought everybody would simulate the best way
715
00:27:14.515 --> 00:27:16.715
to do it and everybody would just do that. Every lab.
716
00:27:16.905 --> 00:27:19.555
Were you basing that on? We all use it
717
00:27:19.785 --> 00:27:20.955
identically the same.
718
00:27:21.975 --> 00:27:24.235
No, because sometimes on some laps, guys forget
719
00:27:24.235 --> 00:27:25.235
To use it.
720
00:27:25.235 --> 00:27:26.915
Can't take, you can't, you can't take Indie as an example,
721
00:27:27.105 --> 00:27:29.155
take indie out of it every race.
722
00:27:29.255 --> 00:27:31.555
But indie use it. You use it exactly the same.
723
00:27:32.815 --> 00:27:35.275
Uh, okay. I don't know why we take indie out of it.
724
00:27:35.275 --> 00:27:37.195
That's kind of a big part of our season. Okay,
725
00:27:37.195 --> 00:27:38.195
Sure.
726
00:27:38.195 --> 00:27:39.915
But okay. You, I mean you can't put
727
00:27:39.915 --> 00:27:41.555
that in the plus column if one out
728
00:27:41.555 --> 00:27:44.315
of 17 is validating your point.
729
00:27:44.865 --> 00:27:47.435
Okay. Um, half point there then.
730
00:27:47.975 --> 00:27:49.675
Um, so,
731
00:27:49.695 --> 00:27:53.995
but the reason it's not, it's not in the a's is, uh,
732
00:27:54.595 --> 00:27:56.715
I don't think it helps the racing anywhere,
733
00:27:56.735 --> 00:28:01.065
but Indy was, so to get to that point, um, you know,
734
00:28:01.065 --> 00:28:02.705
it makes the cars heavier, which
735
00:28:02.925 --> 00:28:04.945
as a driver makes them just less fun
736
00:28:04.965 --> 00:28:07.095
to drive harder on tires.
737
00:28:07.595 --> 00:28:09.735
You know, I don't know if we're allowed to say this,
738
00:28:09.755 --> 00:28:12.015
but I think in some places worse on fuel just
739
00:28:12.135 --> 00:28:13.935
'cause of the weight and it's just is what it is.
740
00:28:14.635 --> 00:28:19.005
Um, and you know, all the other things that have just kind
741
00:28:19.005 --> 00:28:22.245
of inherently gone on with, you know, why it's not been
742
00:28:22.835 --> 00:28:26.125
readily loved from the get go.
743
00:28:26.465 --> 00:28:29.005
But I guess what I'm getting at is I came in
744
00:28:29.005 --> 00:28:30.565
with much worse expectations
745
00:28:30.665 --> 00:28:33.685
and it has, it has exceeded the expectations that I had
746
00:28:33.785 --> 00:28:36.605
for it coming into the last 12 months.
747
00:28:37.105 --> 00:28:39.485
So for that reason, I will give it a b plus.
748
00:28:40.795 --> 00:28:41.795
Why are you at a C?
749
00:28:42.795 --> 00:28:45.735
Uh, I'm at a C, which is the definition of average.
750
00:28:46.155 --> 00:28:47.895
I'm at a C and not higher
751
00:28:47.895 --> 00:28:50.575
because it does nothing beneficial to our product
752
00:28:51.075 --> 00:28:52.495
and we all do use it the same.
753
00:28:53.435 --> 00:28:55.815
Um, I'm not giving it less than a C
754
00:28:55.815 --> 00:28:59.615
because aside from, I think Dixon in the debut of it,
755
00:28:59.635 --> 00:29:02.135
it hasn't actually hurt anyone's races
756
00:29:02.235 --> 00:29:03.735
or impacted a championship.
757
00:29:04.035 --> 00:29:06.535
So, um, that is where I'm at.
758
00:29:06.965 --> 00:29:09.615
Alright. Are you gonna approach MidOhio any differently
759
00:29:09.615 --> 00:29:10.775
this year than you did last year?
760
00:29:11.195 --> 00:29:15.975
Do you know more? Or is it exactly the same?
761
00:29:16.645 --> 00:29:19.975
It's exactly the same.
Okay. All right.
762
00:29:20.085 --> 00:29:22.055
Well that's that. Like, what are the odds?
763
00:29:22.055 --> 00:29:23.935
Alex Polo loses this race.
764
00:29:24.875 --> 00:29:26.295
Oh, none.
765
00:29:27.245 --> 00:29:31.945
Okay. Okay. So, okay, cool.
766
00:29:32.765 --> 00:29:34.905
Uh, so get your bets in, uh,
767
00:29:35.255 --> 00:29:36.905
make sure you throw 'em on your grid rivals team.
768
00:29:38.595 --> 00:29:41.405
Um, yeah. No, not you Alex.
769
00:29:41.505 --> 00:29:43.445
You, you, that'd be very illegal. You can't do that.
770
00:29:43.605 --> 00:29:45.005
I, I was talking to the people at home.
771
00:29:45.715 --> 00:29:47.885
Something floated around Twitter the other day.
772
00:29:48.355 --> 00:29:52.025
That was, and I quote dumb <inaudible> questions
773
00:29:52.045 --> 00:29:54.025
for race car drivers part two.
774
00:29:54.245 --> 00:29:56.785
Oh, I saw this. I was, I meant to follow this. Yeah.
775
00:29:56.785 --> 00:29:59.225
Yeah. So luckily I'm doing your job for you,
776
00:29:59.295 --> 00:30:00.465
even though you make more money
777
00:30:00.465 --> 00:30:01.545
on this show than anybody else.
778
00:30:02.325 --> 00:30:05.825
Um, so I, I've, I've screenshotted it.
779
00:30:05.825 --> 00:30:07.505
And so I would like to ask the
780
00:30:09.095 --> 00:30:12.105
race car drivers on the podcast these five questions.
781
00:30:12.755 --> 00:30:15.305
Sorry. I also, if we can say that I did it,
782
00:30:15.305 --> 00:30:19.265
I get $5 been mowed from me, to me from Madeline. Okay.
783
00:30:19.325 --> 00:30:20.325
So
I've put
784
00:30:20.325 --> 00:30:21.305
You on this.
785
00:30:21.305 --> 00:30:23.425
You don't get those. No, you did not. Damn it. Damn.
786
00:30:23.545 --> 00:30:25.185
I had screenshotted. But Madeline, if you'd like
787
00:30:25.185 --> 00:30:26.705
to send me the money, that'd be tremendous.
788
00:30:27.365 --> 00:30:29.345
Um, so thanks Madeline, for sending these through.
789
00:30:29.575 --> 00:30:30.745
Okay, question one,
790
00:30:30.745 --> 00:30:32.745
TikTok boys,
Did you smile
791
00:30:33.125 --> 00:30:34.345
in your driver's license photo?
792
00:30:34.815 --> 00:30:35.815
What?
793
00:30:36.775 --> 00:30:38.075
Did you smile in your driver's license?
794
00:30:39.615 --> 00:30:41.475
Are you, I don't think you're allowed. I don't
795
00:30:41.475 --> 00:30:42.475
Think you're allowed either.
796
00:30:42.475 --> 00:30:44.715
You could smile without teeth. You can do like the,
797
00:30:45.945 --> 00:30:47.595
Without showing,
But you can't do the
798
00:30:49.355 --> 00:30:50.755
I don't have mine on. Oh, do have my on
799
00:30:50.885 --> 00:30:51.885
Smile?
800
00:30:51.885 --> 00:30:53.475
That's a, that's a smirk. I'll put that as a smirk.
801
00:30:53.695 --> 00:30:55.235
He smirked. Does that count?
802
00:30:56.285 --> 00:30:57.725
I mean, I don't know. Blast
Out, but there's definitely
803
00:30:57.725 --> 00:30:59.005
no, there's definitely no teeth.
804
00:30:59.185 --> 00:31:00.605
No, I look like mine looks,
805
00:31:00.675 --> 00:31:02.125
mine looks more like a mugshot.
806
00:31:03.085 --> 00:31:04.425
So I know passports.
807
00:31:04.425 --> 00:31:06.185
You certainly have to be like dead faced.
808
00:31:07.555 --> 00:31:09.315
I don't think mine's definitely not a smile.
809
00:31:09.385 --> 00:31:11.115
Yeah, you're, you're a mugshot city. Yeah.
810
00:31:11.505 --> 00:31:12.755
Okay. No smile there. Okay.
811
00:31:12.975 --> 00:31:15.515
Um, number two, there are five, by the way.
812
00:31:15.825 --> 00:31:17.835
What board game do you hate playing?
813
00:31:19.635 --> 00:31:21.485
What board game do I hate playing?
814
00:31:22.725 --> 00:31:24.085
I can't, I'm, this is the easiest
815
00:31:24.445 --> 00:31:25.525
question ever asked anybody
816
00:31:25.525 --> 00:31:26.525
Else.
817
00:31:26.525 --> 00:31:28.285
And you're so wrong. Basically, again, what?
818
00:31:28.285 --> 00:31:29.525
I know your answer is going to be it's
819
00:31:29.605 --> 00:31:30.605
Monopoly.
820
00:31:30.605 --> 00:31:31.285
That's the same monopoly. That's dumb. Yeah.
821
00:31:31.285 --> 00:31:33.685
That's not, that's that shouldn't be
822
00:31:34.095 --> 00:31:35.445
least favorite. No, it's not.
823
00:31:35.995 --> 00:31:37.565
It's my least favorite.
Um,
824
00:31:38.035 --> 00:31:39.845
What says it says, which one do I hate playing?
825
00:31:40.005 --> 00:31:41.845
I hate playing monopoly 'cause it takes so long.
826
00:31:41.905 --> 00:31:43.205
My brother or Tim always win.
827
00:31:43.745 --> 00:31:47.285
Do you wanna know what I low key hate yazi? Yes.
828
00:31:48.645 --> 00:31:50.045
Interesting. Why?
Like,
829
00:31:50.275 --> 00:31:54.285
because it's just, there's no, there's no element
830
00:31:54.385 --> 00:31:55.845
of strategy or anything to it.
831
00:31:55.865 --> 00:31:57.365
And if I'm gonna play a game like that,
832
00:31:57.505 --> 00:32:01.005
I'd rather be playing blackjack or craps
833
00:32:01.505 --> 00:32:02.765
or roulette, right?
834
00:32:02.765 --> 00:32:04.445
Like it's just skill. Why I
835
00:32:04.445 --> 00:32:05.205
Wanna play skill. Really.
836
00:32:05.235 --> 00:32:07.365
There's no skill, it's just, yeah, it's point.
837
00:32:07.365 --> 00:32:08.405
You're shaking d in a cup
838
00:32:08.405 --> 00:32:10.565
and then choosing whatever. I don't, not for me.
839
00:32:10.785 --> 00:32:12.285
We, we also have a drinking game
840
00:32:12.285 --> 00:32:13.445
that's attached to that same
841
00:32:13.445 --> 00:32:14.445
concept.
.
842
00:32:14.715 --> 00:32:17.165
Well, but that game's great.
. Very, very different.
843
00:32:17.595 --> 00:32:20.085
Much fun. Much more fun. Okay.
844
00:32:20.385 --> 00:32:22.445
Um, number three is a two part question.
845
00:32:23.535 --> 00:32:27.075
Can you do your own laundry and do you do your own laundry?
846
00:32:27.915 --> 00:32:28.915
I can answer this for Alex.
847
00:32:29.135 --> 00:32:31.395
He can and he does way too often.
848
00:32:31.625 --> 00:32:34.715
What do you mean too often? How often
849
00:32:34.715 --> 00:32:36.475
Do you change? How often do you change?
850
00:32:37.215 --> 00:32:39.485
Oh, like change clothes?
Yeah.
851
00:32:39.985 --> 00:32:42.125
Oh, at least three or four times a day.
852
00:32:42.595 --> 00:32:44.805
Yeah. And you do your laundry, right?
853
00:32:45.665 --> 00:32:48.325
Um, I do much more now
854
00:32:48.325 --> 00:32:50.165
that there's a newborn in the house and Kelly's
855
00:32:51.285 --> 00:32:52.285
Occupied and before.
856
00:32:52.285 --> 00:32:54.605
Okay, but you were on this changing schedule before Kelly.
857
00:32:54.785 --> 00:32:56.645
So you were doing this laundry before Kelly.
858
00:32:56.675 --> 00:32:58.805
Yeah. See, no, I'm more than capable of doing laundry.
859
00:32:59.065 --> 00:33:00.845
But like, you know, when you live with someone,
860
00:33:01.105 --> 00:33:02.565
you have assigned duties and stuff
861
00:33:02.665 --> 00:33:04.365
and like things and, and she did
862
00:33:04.365 --> 00:33:05.365
More of
The laundry.
863
00:33:05.365 --> 00:33:06.045
She did more, more of the laundry.
864
00:33:06.105 --> 00:33:08.205
But when she wasn't there, I could do the laundry.
865
00:33:08.735 --> 00:33:10.925
Right. I'm on the same program. I don't have a kid.
866
00:33:10.925 --> 00:33:12.765
So Becky still does more of the laundry certainly.
867
00:33:12.945 --> 00:33:15.125
But yes, I'm very capable of doing it.
868
00:33:15.785 --> 00:33:19.485
My, my mom famously had this thing where when all
869
00:33:19.485 --> 00:33:21.765
of her kids turned 10, one
870
00:33:21.765 --> 00:33:23.845
of our birthday presents was the instruction manual
871
00:33:23.865 --> 00:33:24.885
to the washer and dryer.
872
00:33:25.425 --> 00:33:28.445
And she said, I complicated. I did it for the first decade.
873
00:33:28.445 --> 00:33:29.445
Complic. Now it's on you.
874
00:33:29.665 --> 00:33:31.205
No, but when you're 10 and your parents,
875
00:33:31.435 --> 00:33:32.525
your parents have done it for you
876
00:33:33.015 --> 00:33:35.045
Isn't because I know, I know some people in their
877
00:33:35.285 --> 00:33:37.325
thirties, dude, you know, they
878
00:33:37.325 --> 00:33:38.325
Can't do laundry.
879
00:33:38.325 --> 00:33:39.245
Dude, when I went to university, I had a buddy
880
00:33:39.545 --> 00:33:42.165
and he would drive 30 minutes home on the weekends
881
00:33:42.165 --> 00:33:43.765
and have his mom do his laundry. And I was
882
00:33:43.765 --> 00:33:45.085
Like, dude, you went to university with
883
00:33:45.085 --> 00:33:46.085
Colton
.
884
00:33:46.485 --> 00:33:49.685
I can tell you exactly what Abel's getting
885
00:33:49.905 --> 00:33:51.845
for not even her next birthday.
886
00:33:51.915 --> 00:33:56.205
What she's getting for Happy Monday, July 3rd. Yeah, .
887
00:33:57.155 --> 00:33:59.165
Okay. All right. Last two. Okay.
888
00:33:59.405 --> 00:34:01.805
I think last two. Uh, number four. Do you like tomatoes?
889
00:34:02.515 --> 00:34:04.725
Love them
In every capacity.
890
00:34:04.795 --> 00:34:09.125
Like in salads, on sandwiches, on getta.
891
00:34:10.115 --> 00:34:12.125
Just, I literally, I literally shamed.
892
00:34:12.605 --> 00:34:15.645
I literally cut a tomato up yesterday and ate it as a snack.
893
00:34:16.475 --> 00:34:18.165
Have you ever eaten a tomato like an apple?
894
00:34:18.865 --> 00:34:20.285
No,
I don't think I do that.
895
00:34:20.355 --> 00:34:22.205
Some psychopaths have done that and they should all be
896
00:34:22.205 --> 00:34:23.205
Imprisoned.
897
00:34:23.205 --> 00:34:24.365
I would eat a onion like that though.
898
00:34:25.495 --> 00:34:27.035
No,
I'm actually, or
899
00:34:27.035 --> 00:34:28.035
A lime.
900
00:34:28.035 --> 00:34:28.955
I'm actually with him on that. I would do that
901
00:34:28.985 --> 00:34:30.115
with a, with an onion.
902
00:34:30.235 --> 00:34:31.235
I wouldn't do it with a lime,
903
00:34:31.235 --> 00:34:32.435
but I would do that with an onion.
904
00:34:32.755 --> 00:34:34.515
I wouldn't do it with a lime would not or an onion.
905
00:34:34.775 --> 00:34:36.275
I'm not the Grinch. I mean
906
00:34:36.415 --> 00:34:37.415
You would not Yeah. .
907
00:34:37.475 --> 00:34:38.715
Yeah. Tim, you would not do.
908
00:34:38.715 --> 00:34:42.515
That's a hefty pour there pal for almost 1:00 AM. 1:00 AM
909
00:34:42.535 --> 00:34:43.535
But
Okay.
910
00:34:43.815 --> 00:34:46.675
Big fan of onions, . When,
911
00:34:47.025 --> 00:34:48.025
When?
912
00:34:48.025 --> 00:34:51.275
And Geist. Right? . Um, okay. Number five.
913
00:34:51.425 --> 00:34:53.075
What games do you have on your phone?
914
00:34:53.495 --> 00:34:54.715
Ooh, two dots.
915
00:34:55.075 --> 00:34:56.915
I have that too. That's a great one. Good
916
00:34:56.915 --> 00:34:57.515
Game. It's two
917
00:34:57.585 --> 00:34:58.585
Dots.
918
00:34:58.655 --> 00:35:02.195
You connect dots into squares. Really?
919
00:35:02.415 --> 00:35:04.195
If you get a square, then it gets more,
920
00:35:04.425 --> 00:35:05.425
Gets rid of the whole color.
921
00:35:05.425 --> 00:35:06.435
Big cube. It gets the whole thing.
922
00:35:06.535 --> 00:35:07.875
Do you have any idea what level you're on?
923
00:35:08.035 --> 00:35:09.795
'cause I've had this for years. I'm like on level
924
00:35:10.525 --> 00:35:12.435
700 something. All right. Compare,
925
00:35:12.435 --> 00:35:14.075
Gimme a second. I'm pulling it up. What
926
00:35:14.075 --> 00:35:15.075
Do, what do you have?
927
00:35:15.075 --> 00:35:16.075
What? What's your games, James?
928
00:35:16.495 --> 00:35:17.955
So I've got kind of three.
929
00:35:18.185 --> 00:35:20.955
They're all, you know, like kind of puzzle ish.
930
00:35:21.335 --> 00:35:23.555
One is, it's a version of like Mahjong,
931
00:35:23.555 --> 00:35:25.595
it's called Moonlight Light.
932
00:35:26.725 --> 00:35:27.865
And it's just tiles
933
00:35:27.865 --> 00:35:29.865
and you knock 'em out, whatever in pairs.
934
00:35:29.865 --> 00:35:32.945
It's really good. I'm on level 180 7 of that. What
935
00:35:32.955 --> 00:35:33.955
Level was that?
936
00:35:35.005 --> 00:35:39.645
Two
Five. Uh, best timed. 5 37 Best moves.
937
00:35:39.745 --> 00:35:42.515
2 41. Mine's just called Dots.
938
00:35:42.575 --> 00:35:44.075
Not two dots. So we might have a
939
00:35:44.075 --> 00:35:45.075
Different one.
940
00:35:45.075 --> 00:35:45.675
Yeah. Whom on?
941
00:35:46.415 --> 00:35:50.675
But what's hilarious is, um, it would seem
942
00:35:50.905 --> 00:35:53.755
that you're on level 5 37 or whatever of your.game.
943
00:35:53.755 --> 00:35:56.825
And I'm on 5 58 a month. Oh
944
00:35:56.825 --> 00:35:58.625
Wow. The races all.
945
00:35:58.645 --> 00:36:02.025
Wow.
I do, uh, I do one called word scapes.
946
00:36:02.185 --> 00:36:05.865
'cause I love word games and I'm on level 8,114
947
00:36:06.185 --> 00:36:07.425
'cause I fly too much.
948
00:36:08.765 --> 00:36:10.785
All right. And then, cool. That was, have you ever,
949
00:36:11.175 --> 00:36:12.625
Ever played, have you ever played Cube?
950
00:36:12.775 --> 00:36:16.465
Skip? What's one last one? Have you played Cube Skip? No.
951
00:36:16.685 --> 00:36:19.705
So Joseph and I both have this and he text me the other day.
952
00:36:19.725 --> 00:36:21.625
He was like, what's your best score on Cube Skip?
953
00:36:21.685 --> 00:36:24.705
And I'm like, 700 something. He's like, oh.
954
00:36:24.945 --> 00:36:26.105
I was like, wow, what's yours?
955
00:36:26.135 --> 00:36:30.225
He's like 2,500 and something. I was like, oh, all right.
956
00:36:30.225 --> 00:36:31.625
I gotta guess. I guess I gotta start playing
957
00:36:31.625 --> 00:36:32.825
Cube Skip again.
958
00:36:33.085 --> 00:36:35.065
So I'm gonna get on that. You should try it. It's
959
00:36:35.065 --> 00:36:36.065
Fun.
960
00:36:36.065 --> 00:36:36.865
Well, I know exactly what I'm doing tonight
961
00:36:37.045 --> 00:36:39.025
and I'm gonna show it to him in the driver's meeting on
962
00:36:39.025 --> 00:36:40.545
Sunday of level 3000.
963
00:36:41.735 --> 00:36:44.895
I cannot wait. have fun with, have fun with that.
964
00:36:45.995 --> 00:36:48.695
All right, Alex, go, you know, hang out with your wife.
965
00:36:48.695 --> 00:36:49.695
Yes. Goodbye. Awesome baby.
966
00:36:49.725 --> 00:36:52.495
Same trip home, uh, James, when are you coming?
967
00:36:52.635 --> 00:36:54.055
See in Ohio Tomorrow.
968
00:36:54.835 --> 00:36:57.295
So yesterday. Bye boys. Later. See ya. Bye bud.
969
00:36:57.885 --> 00:37:02.015
Okay, so going into this long streak of a bunch of races
970
00:37:02.345 --> 00:37:04.335
where you've just come off of traveling
971
00:37:04.435 --> 00:37:05.735
and now you have travel much more.
972
00:37:05.735 --> 00:37:07.655
Like how do you guys prepare for that in the booth?
973
00:37:09.205 --> 00:37:10.705
In the booth? I mean,
974
00:37:11.865 --> 00:37:13.425
I mean that, that's a lot of travel.
975
00:37:14.325 --> 00:37:16.105
It is a lot of travel. Like it's, it's more like,
976
00:37:16.175 --> 00:37:19.065
it's more like logistically preparing your life, you know,
977
00:37:19.065 --> 00:37:22.065
because that's just being gone an awful lot.
978
00:37:22.095 --> 00:37:25.345
Like Buxton has moved to the US for the month of July.
979
00:37:25.485 --> 00:37:27.345
So like him and his wife and his
980
00:37:27.445 --> 00:37:31.225
and his baby girl have, have moved to the state of Florida.
981
00:37:31.455 --> 00:37:32.505
They've rented a house.
982
00:37:32.505 --> 00:37:35.145
They're gonna be there for all of July, which is awesome.
983
00:37:35.925 --> 00:37:37.665
Um, because traveling back
984
00:37:37.665 --> 00:37:39.985
and forth for, as Alex said, like five consecutive weeks
985
00:37:40.005 --> 00:37:42.065
or whatever we've got going on now, is
986
00:37:42.565 --> 00:37:44.985
Is he aware there's like 49 other pretty good states?
987
00:37:46.605 --> 00:37:48.485
I don't think anyone told him that.
988
00:37:49.025 --> 00:37:50.405
Got it. Okay. Yeah. Just straight
989
00:37:50.405 --> 00:37:51.845
to the <inaudible> of the United States.
990
00:37:52.115 --> 00:37:55.165
Correct. So, uh, so he's there.
991
00:37:55.985 --> 00:37:58.325
Um, and yeah, dude, for me it's like, you know,
992
00:37:58.545 --> 00:38:01.525
you're preparing to only be home basically two days a week
993
00:38:01.525 --> 00:38:04.565
for the next five weeks, which is tough, you know,
994
00:38:04.715 --> 00:38:06.445
because you still have life
995
00:38:06.625 --> 00:38:09.125
and you still have, you know, things to do.
996
00:38:09.305 --> 00:38:13.165
And it's not like, so like look, it's, it's like having a,
997
00:38:13.405 --> 00:38:15.725
a, a, a nine to five job in the sense
998
00:38:15.725 --> 00:38:17.845
that you work five days a week and you have two off.
999
00:38:17.905 --> 00:38:20.525
But my weekends are like Tuesdays and Wednesdays, right?
1000
00:38:20.525 --> 00:38:23.245
Yeah. But the difference is, is like I don't get to go home
1001
00:38:23.535 --> 00:38:26.765
after work each day and do stuff around the house
1002
00:38:26.825 --> 00:38:27.885
or like take care of stuff.
1003
00:38:27.885 --> 00:38:30.525
So you literally have just those two days to like adult
1004
00:38:30.825 --> 00:38:32.285
and like stay on top of your life.
1005
00:38:32.625 --> 00:38:34.405
And it honestly is like sometimes kind of tough.
1006
00:38:34.505 --> 00:38:37.525
So, um, I'm not trying to like complain.
1007
00:38:37.705 --> 00:38:39.565
It is what it is everyone's got, it's not a heart.
1008
00:38:39.565 --> 00:38:41.205
Like other people have way more
1009
00:38:41.205 --> 00:38:42.245
important <inaudible> than I have.
1010
00:38:42.245 --> 00:38:43.885
But, uh, so yeah, so it's, it's,
1011
00:38:43.885 --> 00:38:45.525
it's just like mentally preparing for that
1012
00:38:45.545 --> 00:38:47.485
and like that's part of the reason why, you know,
1013
00:38:47.505 --> 00:38:49.165
it was great to be able to bring Becky out
1014
00:38:49.165 --> 00:38:50.525
to this thing I had to do in England
1015
00:38:50.525 --> 00:38:52.045
because we're not gonna see a lot
1016
00:38:52.045 --> 00:38:53.445
of each other over the next little while.
1017
00:38:53.905 --> 00:38:57.685
Um, and then even once that stretch ends, I have to go
1018
00:38:58.265 --> 00:38:59.405
to an F1 race.
1019
00:38:59.465 --> 00:39:03.205
So like my, after that fifth race, I go into a sixth race
1020
00:39:03.385 --> 00:39:06.085
and then I go straight from an F1 race to LA
1021
00:39:06.105 --> 00:39:07.445
for a few days straight to Portland.
1022
00:39:07.475 --> 00:39:09.045
Like I'm gonna be gone for kind
1023
00:39:09.045 --> 00:39:10.525
of three straight weeks on that stretch.
1024
00:39:11.105 --> 00:39:13.365
So we do have a really busy summer coming up.
1025
00:39:13.835 --> 00:39:15.725
It's cool. You didn't, you didn't tell me
1026
00:39:15.725 --> 00:39:17.045
that you'd be in la which is
1027
00:39:17.045 --> 00:39:18.605
where I live, but yeah, it's fine.
1028
00:39:19.365 --> 00:39:20.905
Do you live in la?
It's fine.
1029
00:39:22.705 --> 00:39:26.585
I know it is. I , I I have no qualms about the fact
1030
00:39:26.585 --> 00:39:28.505
that I was coming to LA and hadn't told you
1031
00:39:29.245 --> 00:39:32.385
and was debating ever telling you, but now you know.
1032
00:39:32.445 --> 00:39:35.105
No. So, Hey Tim, do you wanna hang out when I'm in la?
1033
00:39:36.115 --> 00:39:38.385
Maybe
I don't have time, so it doesn't matter.
1034
00:39:38.825 --> 00:39:40.265
I have a thing that day.
I

He's already gone, but I'm gonna say it anyway
1075
00:41:08.825 --> 00:41:11.105
'cause I try to say it every week and I look forward
1076
00:41:11.105 --> 00:41:12.785
to hopefully discussing, I don't know,
1077
00:41:12.805 --> 00:41:14.505
either a new winner in IndyCar
1078
00:41:14.605 --> 00:41:17.945
or, uh, a record setting win for Polo
1079
00:41:18.285 --> 00:41:20.945
or like Kirkwood closing the championship
1080
00:41:20.965 --> 00:41:21.985
gap with a win of his.
1081
00:41:21.985 --> 00:41:22.865
