00:00:00.195 --> 00:00:01.445
This is off track.
2
00:00:02.775 --> 00:00:05.605
Hello. And welcome to Off Track with Hinch or Rossi.
3
00:00:05.805 --> 00:00:08.085
I guess you've already figured out who's here this week.
4
00:00:08.945 --> 00:00:12.645
Um, dude, sorry if I sound like a bag of stuff.
5
00:00:13.075 --> 00:00:14.605
It's, I, I just woke up.
6
00:00:14.795 --> 00:00:16.085
I've been sleeping for 12 hours
7
00:00:16.085 --> 00:00:19.685
after traveling for, I don't even know.
8
00:00:20.915 --> 00:00:23.845
Yeah, it's not good given my line of work. This
9
00:00:23.845 --> 00:00:24.845
Is so weird though.
10
00:00:24.845 --> 00:00:27.725
Okay, so you slept in and have done nothing.
11
00:00:28.115 --> 00:00:29.565
I've run four and a half miles
12
00:00:29.655 --> 00:00:30.655
today.
, .
13
00:00:31.995 --> 00:00:34.525
Like,
Is this is what it's like to be,
14
00:00:34.525 --> 00:00:38.045
you wake up in California 12 hours after I went to
15
00:00:38.045 --> 00:00:39.045
bed.
?
16
00:00:39.195 --> 00:00:40.525
Yeah, kind of. Well,
17
00:00:40.525 --> 00:00:42.325
Because it was, that's, that's what I've done.
18
00:00:42.395 --> 00:00:43.845
Yeah, man. Okay.
19
00:00:43.865 --> 00:00:46.445
So you've gotten up, you've been to the gym. Um,
20
00:00:47.545 --> 00:00:48.685
Got shower hazel at school.
21
00:00:48.825 --> 00:00:49.845
She showered. Yeah.
22
00:00:50.745 --> 00:00:52.605
Wow. That's, uh, okay, so four
23
00:00:52.605 --> 00:00:54.365
and a half miles you ran? Yeah,
24
00:00:55.155 --> 00:00:56.405
I've, I've still put on the weekend.
25
00:00:56.465 --> 00:00:58.005
Didn't do like
An eight or something.
26
00:00:58.005 --> 00:01:00.725
I'm on the A nine, so like yeah, it's,
27
00:01:00.725 --> 00:01:02.885
it's like you do two runs on the week
28
00:01:02.885 --> 00:01:04.365
that are kind of on the shorter side.
29
00:01:04.385 --> 00:01:06.805
So this week it's two, four and a half mile runs.
30
00:01:07.505 --> 00:01:09.285
And then this Saturday right
31
00:01:09.285 --> 00:01:12.725
before Long Beach, get in the mood with a 10 miler. Um,
32
00:01:13.485 --> 00:01:16.045
Saturday morning you're doing a 10 miler.
33
00:01:16.675 --> 00:01:19.915
Yeah. So like if I'm limping
34
00:01:19.915 --> 00:01:21.835
around the paddock Saturday, that's why.
35
00:01:22.655 --> 00:01:23.755
But you know what? You won't be
36
00:01:23.755 --> 00:01:26.155
because you've been doing your training and like you did.
37
00:01:26.215 --> 00:01:27.275
How was it after the nine?
38
00:01:27.655 --> 00:01:29.275
The nine wasn't as bad as I thought.
39
00:01:29.455 --> 00:01:32.115
The eight was the hardest. 'cause I, I'm gonna be honest,
40
00:01:32.155 --> 00:01:34.275
I had a little bit of wine the night before the eight .
41
00:01:35.615 --> 00:01:37.395
Yes, Tim, that does affect your running
42
00:01:37.395 --> 00:01:38.635
performance the following day.
43
00:01:39.455 --> 00:01:40.595
So the eight was the hardest.
44
00:01:40.775 --> 00:01:41.795
The nine wasn't that bad,
45
00:01:41.815 --> 00:01:44.275
but it was still like my legs were jello yesterday.
46
00:01:44.405 --> 00:01:46.195
Afterwards it was like,
47
00:01:46.995 --> 00:01:48.395
I guess I've just never run that far.
48
00:01:48.555 --> 00:01:51.475
I used to row in high school, so the most I'd ever run
49
00:01:51.475 --> 00:01:55.795
before was, was like 10 Ks when we were being punished.
50
00:01:56.535 --> 00:01:58.195
Um, . , like
51
00:01:58.505 --> 00:02:01.595
When you, you did not stroke at the appropriate time
52
00:02:01.855 --> 00:02:03.155
as the other people in the boat.
53
00:02:03.545 --> 00:02:06.075
Yeah. So it's a, it's a new thing.
54
00:02:06.535 --> 00:02:09.235
How did you, did you hit your a hundred miles in February?
55
00:02:09.495 --> 00:02:10.875
No, I threw my back out
56
00:02:11.175 --> 00:02:13.555
and so that's, it's such an old man story.
57
00:02:13.955 --> 00:02:14.955
I literally,
58
00:02:15.875 --> 00:02:16.875
I have a comment after.
59
00:02:16.945 --> 00:02:20.155
Okay.
. No, I was, I was doing great.
60
00:02:20.155 --> 00:02:22.915
Like I was on pace to be, I I was, I was on pace
61
00:02:22.915 --> 00:02:25.275
to have like three days off at the end of the month.
62
00:02:25.615 --> 00:02:30.235
And um, I was running, we were actually out in LA
63
00:02:31.255 --> 00:02:32.875
and I was on the treadmill
64
00:02:32.895 --> 00:02:34.755
and I just, I think I slept funny.
65
00:02:34.975 --> 00:02:36.755
I'd been in, you know, my eighth bed in
66
00:02:36.755 --> 00:02:37.795
10 nights or something.
67
00:02:38.095 --> 00:02:42.715
And, um, I ran and I like tweaked something in my back
68
00:02:42.715 --> 00:02:44.875
and it's like, it threw a rib out on my,
69
00:02:44.935 --> 00:02:47.755
on like the back half of me or something, I don't know.
70
00:02:47.935 --> 00:02:49.355
And so like, I'll just take a day off.
71
00:02:49.355 --> 00:02:50.955
I've, I've built myself up a bit of a buffer
72
00:02:52.335 --> 00:02:56.835
and, um, yeah, I was like almost immobile for like four days
73
00:02:57.095 --> 00:02:59.195
and then I had to come home, go to the chiropractor
74
00:02:59.305 --> 00:03:01.485
and then it still took a few more days, so I didn't, it,
75
00:03:01.525 --> 00:03:03.085
I was, I didn't run for like a week
76
00:03:03.105 --> 00:03:05.365
and then I was like, I'm not gonna now jump back on a
77
00:03:05.485 --> 00:03:08.285
treadmill and have to do eight miles a day for the rest
78
00:03:08.285 --> 00:03:09.925
of the month to make this, so I'm just gonna
79
00:03:10.015 --> 00:03:11.805
defer it to a future month. Dude,
80
00:03:11.955 --> 00:03:13.485
Back stuff is the worst.
81
00:03:14.275 --> 00:03:15.525
Yeah. Man, man, I threw
82
00:03:15.525 --> 00:03:18.885
My back out in January, like lifting some suitcases
83
00:03:18.945 --> 00:03:21.485
and it's just been kind of like, I have
84
00:03:21.485 --> 00:03:23.485
to stretch twice a day whether I'm working out
85
00:03:23.485 --> 00:03:25.765
or not, to just not have it hurt anymore.
86
00:03:26.505 --> 00:03:29.885
Yes, yes. it's stretching is so important.
87
00:03:30.065 --> 00:03:32.485
And I do it like, I dunno if you can negative stretch,
88
00:03:32.585 --> 00:03:34.725
but that's basically how I live my life.
89
00:03:35.445 --> 00:03:37.285
I, uh, you know, I sit a lot.
90
00:03:37.325 --> 00:03:38.525
I think they call that like flying.
91
00:03:38.665 --> 00:03:40.205
Flying is the negative stretch.
92
00:03:40.275 --> 00:03:42.245
Correct. Exactly. Sitting in a,
93
00:03:42.345 --> 00:03:44.325
in a like seated position on a
94
00:03:44.325 --> 00:03:45.405
plane for that amount of hours.
95
00:03:45.465 --> 00:03:47.965
It is so bad for you. And Becky yells at me all the time,
96
00:03:48.435 --> 00:03:50.685
very rightly as she should to stretch more.
97
00:03:50.685 --> 00:03:52.565
And I almost, almost never do it.
98
00:03:52.785 --> 00:03:56.165
She challenged me to be able to like straight legs bend over
99
00:03:56.185 --> 00:03:58.645
and touch my toes by the time we got home from Japan.
100
00:03:59.145 --> 00:04:01.685
And like, I got it. Like I had to work at it.
101
00:04:01.845 --> 00:04:05.485
'cause I was pretty far away before we went and I got there,
102
00:04:05.485 --> 00:04:07.325
but it was like I had to do a little bit of a momentum
103
00:04:07.385 --> 00:04:10.525
and like, ugh, like at that last, that last like, quarter
104
00:04:10.585 --> 00:04:13.005
of an inch, I had to like, I couldn't hold my toes,
105
00:04:13.025 --> 00:04:14.805
you know, I can touch 'em, but I need a little Yeah.
106
00:04:14.905 --> 00:04:16.885
You know, it's bad, man.
107
00:04:17.045 --> 00:04:18.925
I need, I need so much help. It's not good.
108
00:04:19.315 --> 00:04:21.845
It's not good. Um, yeah, I, so, okay.
109
00:04:21.955 --> 00:04:23.885
Have you, are you a big believer in the
110
00:04:23.885 --> 00:04:25.805
chiropractor? Do you go off?
111
00:04:26.105 --> 00:04:27.445
No, not at I, I am, I am.
112
00:04:27.605 --> 00:04:29.405
I think I, I think before this happened,
113
00:04:29.605 --> 00:04:30.965
I had been twice in my life.
114
00:04:31.785 --> 00:04:33.845
Um, and, but then,
115
00:04:33.845 --> 00:04:35.085
and then on the other side of the scale,
116
00:04:35.095 --> 00:04:37.285
Becky is like a religious believer.
117
00:04:37.625 --> 00:04:39.805
So where do you fall in the chiropractic scale?
118
00:04:40.485 --> 00:04:43.485
I was always super opposed to the chiropractor. Yes.
119
00:04:43.485 --> 00:04:44.765
Because I've just like, that's kind of me.
120
00:04:44.875 --> 00:04:47.205
I've heard enough about like the history of it
121
00:04:47.265 --> 00:04:49.325
as a medicine to know that
122
00:04:49.645 --> 00:04:51.285
'cause I'm a medical practice. Yeah.
123
00:04:51.285 --> 00:04:53.605
Yeah. That it was like kind of bunk science,
124
00:04:54.145 --> 00:04:58.645
but I'll be, I went after this most recent one and like,
125
00:04:58.815 --> 00:05:01.605
after I threw my back out in January, I went, I went to the,
126
00:05:01.625 --> 00:05:02.925
uh, chiropractor out here
127
00:05:03.305 --> 00:05:05.205
and like, I'll, I, I'll say it helped, but like
128
00:05:05.205 --> 00:05:06.925
before he did the adjustment stuff,
129
00:05:07.165 --> 00:05:09.685
I was just being stretched out for like 10 minutes.
130
00:05:09.865 --> 00:05:11.525
So I think that's what really helped.
131
00:05:11.905 --> 00:05:14.085
It was like, all right, I'm gonna make sure you're really
132
00:05:14.085 --> 00:05:15.805
stretched out and then I'm just gonna make things pop.
133
00:05:15.865 --> 00:05:18.405
So it sounds like I did something . But here's
134
00:05:18.405 --> 00:05:20.005
The, here's here's the other thing too though, right?
135
00:05:20.065 --> 00:05:24.685
Is like, as much as I was kind of antigo, um, I,
136
00:05:24.805 --> 00:05:26.925
I crack my knuckles 20 times a day.
137
00:05:27.515 --> 00:05:28.845
Yeah. But that's just releasing air.
138
00:05:29.015 --> 00:05:30.045
Right. And like, but like,
139
00:05:30.045 --> 00:05:32.885
and I'll, I'll crack like I have like, sometimes I'll crack,
140
00:05:33.125 --> 00:05:34.805
I don't even know what I'm cracking when I do it.
141
00:05:34.915 --> 00:05:37.165
It's like something in my pelvis region.
142
00:05:37.395 --> 00:05:39.645
Like if I've been sitting, I can kinda like do something
143
00:05:39.645 --> 00:05:41.445
where I lock my ankles together and pull apart.
144
00:05:42.105 --> 00:05:43.525
Oh, interesting. Tailbone. Like
145
00:05:43.845 --> 00:05:44.845
I crack my neck a lot.
146
00:05:44.985 --> 00:05:46.405
Oh, you crack your neck a lot.
147
00:05:46.635 --> 00:05:49.125
Like everything that I crack on my own on my
148
00:05:49.125 --> 00:05:50.285
body, I'm like, oh, this is great.
149
00:05:50.365 --> 00:05:51.765
I love this . And then all
150
00:05:51.765 --> 00:05:53.205
of a sudden when someone else is doing it, I'm like, mm.
151
00:05:53.325 --> 00:05:55.525
I don't know if I buy into this science.
152
00:05:55.715 --> 00:05:56.805
Like, it doesn't make any sense.
153
00:05:57.835 --> 00:05:59.605
, it's a orly a hypocritical approach to
154
00:05:59.605 --> 00:06:00.605
Take.
155
00:06:00.605 --> 00:06:01.245
Well, no, I know that they're cracking it.
156
00:06:01.445 --> 00:06:04.405
I, I just don't know if it is actually doing anything good.
157
00:06:04.615 --> 00:06:05.645
Right, ? Like
158
00:06:05.715 --> 00:06:06.715
When you
Cracking
159
00:06:06.715 --> 00:06:07.325
Your
Knuckles. My, you
160
00:06:07.325 --> 00:06:08.325
Just, my biggest fear.
161
00:06:08.325 --> 00:06:10.245
Yes. My, my biggest fear with it was always
162
00:06:10.845 --> 00:06:13.645
'cause I had heard, or I knew people, I forget
163
00:06:13.645 --> 00:06:14.845
where this came from,
164
00:06:15.105 --> 00:06:19.285
but it was like, once you do it, you become reliant on it
165
00:06:19.665 --> 00:06:21.445
and you have to keep doing it forever.
166
00:06:21.865 --> 00:06:23.645
Oh, this is like chapstick It's like .
167
00:06:24.995 --> 00:06:26.605
Well, no, it was my same philosophy
168
00:06:26.605 --> 00:06:28.005
with why I never started drinking coffee.
169
00:06:28.405 --> 00:06:29.565
'cause I, growing up, I,
170
00:06:29.595 --> 00:06:31.925
when my friends started transitioning into drinking coffee,
171
00:06:31.955 --> 00:06:34.365
then when they were, they would have days
172
00:06:34.365 --> 00:06:35.365
where they didn't get their coffee
173
00:06:35.585 --> 00:06:38.205
or like, you know, they were just completely miserable.
174
00:06:38.205 --> 00:06:40.525
They were different people before they had two cups
175
00:06:40.525 --> 00:06:41.645
of coffee in the morning and I was like,
176
00:06:41.685 --> 00:06:43.565
I never wanna be reliant on having coffee
177
00:06:43.705 --> 00:06:44.765
to feel like myself.
178
00:06:45.365 --> 00:06:47.085
I never wanted to be reliant on,
179
00:06:47.345 --> 00:06:49.085
on somebody cracking my back to me
180
00:06:49.145 --> 00:06:50.445
for me to like, feel good.
181
00:06:50.865 --> 00:06:52.925
So I was just like, I'll just suffer through everything
182
00:06:53.025 --> 00:06:54.445
and it'll take care of itself.
183
00:06:54.465 --> 00:06:57.365
That's like kind of my take on medicine and illness
184
00:06:57.665 --> 00:07:01.085
and sickness and injury is just wait it out. It'll be fine.
185
00:07:01.245 --> 00:07:03.205
I also think though, like, we're, we're at a point,
186
00:07:03.345 --> 00:07:05.765
and admittedly, you're significantly older than me.
187
00:07:05.765 --> 00:07:06.845
Like eight. Okay. Just calm down.
188
00:07:06.845 --> 00:07:07.965
80, 90 years old. All right.
189
00:07:08.075 --> 00:07:13.045
Pump the breaks.
, I think we've both solidly
190
00:07:13.045 --> 00:07:14.485
passed the point of like,
191
00:07:14.945 --> 00:07:17.125
you can't really build a base for yourself anymore.
192
00:07:17.305 --> 00:07:18.805
Do you know what I mean? Like you've
193
00:07:18.825 --> 00:07:20.925
Oh, I, yes, a hundred percent
. We're on,
194
00:07:21.175 --> 00:07:21.805
We're on that. We
195
00:07:21.855 --> 00:07:23.045
We're having coffee now.
196
00:07:23.155 --> 00:07:26.405
Yeah. Like we're at least at that.
197
00:07:26.575 --> 00:07:28.565
We're at least at that like the free hang moment.
198
00:07:28.665 --> 00:07:29.965
We throw the ball in the air
199
00:07:29.965 --> 00:07:31.525
before it starts coming back down.
200
00:07:31.695 --> 00:07:35.165
We're not, we don't have upward momentum anymore. . No,
201
00:07:35.165 --> 00:07:36.165
No, no.
202
00:07:36.165 --> 00:07:37.205
We are on the back half of the hill. Yes.
203
00:07:37.565 --> 00:07:39.085
I see what you're saying. Um,
204
00:07:39.145 --> 00:07:40.165
and you know, that's actually
205
00:07:40.165 --> 00:07:41.205
there, there's something to that.
206
00:07:41.205 --> 00:07:44.445
Because what I will say, the, the one thing
207
00:07:44.445 --> 00:07:46.245
that I've taken out of my, you know,
208
00:07:46.245 --> 00:07:50.205
going into my fourth year of working F1 now is I drink a lot
209
00:07:50.205 --> 00:07:52.205
of espresso on F1 weekends.
210
00:07:52.875 --> 00:07:54.245
Okay. Because that's coffee.
211
00:07:55.925 --> 00:07:59.205
I know, I know . But let me, let me ex let me explain.
212
00:07:59.395 --> 00:08:02.285
When I say, when I say, you know, I don't drink coffee,
213
00:08:02.765 --> 00:08:05.645
I mean that, like, I don't do, I don't have a morning cup
214
00:08:05.645 --> 00:08:08.205
of coffee in, in any capacity whatsoever.
215
00:08:08.945 --> 00:08:11.605
Um, that's not when I have to espresso.
216
00:08:12.125 --> 00:08:15.365
I have to espresso jet lagged at two 30
217
00:08:15.425 --> 00:08:17.645
to three 30 in the afternoon when you're like,
218
00:08:17.645 --> 00:08:19.245
you still have another session to go
219
00:08:19.345 --> 00:08:21.805
and you're like, I just need, I need a little caffeine shot.
220
00:08:22.115 --> 00:08:25.405
Okay. But I also, I also hate every second of it, right?
221
00:08:25.585 --> 00:08:27.845
So not only do I not drink coffee in the morning,
222
00:08:27.875 --> 00:08:29.445
most people that do drink coffee in the
223
00:08:29.445 --> 00:08:30.565
morning, they enjoy it.
224
00:08:30.565 --> 00:08:33.205
They enjoy the routine. They enjoy, enjoy the smell. I do.
225
00:08:33.205 --> 00:08:36.005
They enjoy the taste. I have to have an espresso
226
00:08:36.005 --> 00:08:37.085
for the sake of the caffeine.
227
00:08:37.085 --> 00:08:39.645
Sometimes I'll use a Red Bull instead of an espresso.
228
00:08:39.865 --> 00:08:42.005
But sometimes it's not appropriate to have a Red Bull
229
00:08:42.125 --> 00:08:44.325
'cause you're sitting in the ho hospitality or something.
230
00:08:44.325 --> 00:08:45.365
Or McLaren hospitality.
231
00:08:45.465 --> 00:08:47.125
So you have coffee or you have espresso. I
232
00:08:47.125 --> 00:08:48.125
Didn't even think about that.
233
00:08:48.125 --> 00:08:48.885
It's, yeah, , it's
234
00:08:48.885 --> 00:08:50.805
The, it's the caffeine without,
235
00:08:51.115 --> 00:08:53.405
it's like in the minimal amount of coffee delivery.
236
00:08:53.645 --> 00:08:56.845
I get the caffeine that I need. So I, I do not like coffee.
237
00:08:57.245 --> 00:08:58.405
I do not drink coffee.
238
00:08:58.765 --> 00:09:00.965
I will essentially smash an espresso
239
00:09:01.225 --> 00:09:02.565
for like self preservation.
240
00:09:02.905 --> 00:09:04.045
But that's
241
00:09:04.045 --> 00:09:05.045
It. I, I like
242
00:09:05.045 --> 00:09:06.045
Routine.
243
00:09:06.045 --> 00:09:06.485
A
Lot of
244
00:09:06.485 --> 00:09:07.395
Routine.
245
00:09:07.395 --> 00:09:09.685
I like the routine. And honestly, nine times outta 10,
246
00:09:09.785 --> 00:09:11.525
my neighbor Casey pops over.
247
00:09:11.725 --> 00:09:13.445
I make a cup of coffee for him too.
248
00:09:14.075 --> 00:09:16.285
I'll read a section of paper, pass it over to him.
249
00:09:16.335 --> 00:09:18.845
We'll have the news on. We'll just sit around and chat.
250
00:09:19.585 --> 00:09:20.845
So you're just an old married couple?
251
00:09:21.225 --> 00:09:22.245
Pretty much. Yeah.
252
00:09:22.825 --> 00:09:24.525
Do you guys do like the crossword together or
253
00:09:24.705 --> 00:09:26.125
No, I do the crossword myself.
254
00:09:26.365 --> 00:09:28.525
'cause I pay for the paper. If he wants to get,
255
00:09:29.305 --> 00:09:30.645
He
Can get his own subscription. .
256
00:09:31.345 --> 00:09:33.725
He gets the Sudoku. Because you don't like those?
257
00:09:34.505 --> 00:09:36.285
Uh, I do the jumble and the crossword.
258
00:09:36.385 --> 00:09:37.605
That's fair. Have we,
259
00:09:37.605 --> 00:09:39.245
have we talked about your new desk yet?
260
00:09:39.465 --> 00:09:41.295
No, dude. Okay.
261
00:09:41.295 --> 00:09:43.895
So we're just going to like completely brush over the fact
262
00:09:43.895 --> 00:09:46.055
that your background is a completely different thing.
263
00:09:46.075 --> 00:09:50.695
And even though it kind of looks fake like it, if it wasn't
264
00:09:50.775 --> 00:09:52.135
for the Macbeth book.
265
00:09:52.605 --> 00:09:53.855
Yeah, no, it's, it's real
266
00:09:53.855 --> 00:09:53.855
.
267
00:09:54.675 --> 00:09:57.375
No, no, no. Yeah, I know. Yeah, like your hair,
268
00:09:57.755 --> 00:10:00.535
it looks fake, but it is very much real. Um,
269
00:10:01.495 --> 00:10:03.535
I even got this picture of me holding you up.
270
00:10:04.155 --> 00:10:08.175
That's how you know's Legit . When was that?
271
00:10:08.245 --> 00:10:10.815
From 20 15, 20 16?
272
00:10:10.815 --> 00:10:12.255
That would've been, yeah, that was
273
00:10:12.255 --> 00:10:13.255
2016.
274
00:10:13.255 --> 00:10:14.375
2016. That's after Dancing the Stars.
275
00:10:14.375 --> 00:10:15.335
Right? After Dancing with the Stars.
276
00:10:15.575 --> 00:10:16.655
'cause s Shana was there that night.
277
00:10:17.195 --> 00:10:18.815
Um, yeah, yeah, yeah.
278
00:10:18.815 --> 00:10:21.455
Now felt like, uh, you know, about time to start getting rid
279
00:10:21.455 --> 00:10:23.815
of the stuff that I brought to this apartment from college.
280
00:10:24.325 --> 00:10:25.815
Like, I still had the same .
281
00:10:27.135 --> 00:10:29.735
I still had a lot of the same, I I was getting rid
282
00:10:29.735 --> 00:10:31.855
of some stuff and, uh, one
283
00:10:31.855 --> 00:10:35.695
of the surge protectors at my old desk, like had the name
284
00:10:36.035 --> 00:10:39.295
of the rental property that I stole it from in college. .
285
00:10:41.085 --> 00:10:44.815
It's like, it's like, oh, that's, I probably that like that.
286
00:10:45.295 --> 00:10:47.375
I don't think that's protecting from Surge anymore.
287
00:10:47.755 --> 00:10:48.775
No, I don't think, I don't think
288
00:10:48.775 --> 00:10:49.815
it ever did, if I'm honest.
289
00:10:49.915 --> 00:10:51.655
If they were just giving 'em away to college kids.
290
00:10:52.005 --> 00:10:54.335
Yeah, no, it's, it's, uh, it's crazy man.
291
00:10:54.335 --> 00:10:55.975
Podcasting must be going pretty well for you.
292
00:10:56.295 --> 00:10:57.815
buying new furniture and
293
00:10:57.995 --> 00:10:59.615
No, I stole this from a college house.
294
00:10:59.645 --> 00:11:00.735
Just like everything. Okay, good.
295
00:11:00.735 --> 00:11:03.015
Yeah, because I was gonna say, I have no new furniture
296
00:11:03.285 --> 00:11:04.535
from, from podcasting,
297
00:11:04.555 --> 00:11:06.975
so I'm not entirely sure how this speaking is
298
00:11:06.975 --> 00:11:07.975
Happening.
299
00:11:07.975 --> 00:11:08.695
Hey, speaking. Where are you recording from right now?
300
00:11:10.015 --> 00:11:12.895
A friend's house.
In what municipality?
301
00:11:14.095 --> 00:11:15.135
I don't actually know the
302
00:11:15.135 --> 00:11:16.295
answer to that. I'm not sure where that'd be.
303
00:11:16.575 --> 00:11:17.695
Malibu. It's Malibu. Okay.
304
00:11:17.935 --> 00:11:19.735
Malibu's it own municipality. Is
305
00:11:19.735 --> 00:11:20.735
It?
306
00:11:20.735 --> 00:11:21.135
Yeah. That's What does that have to do?
307
00:11:21.135 --> 00:11:23.215
That's you live in Los Angeles.
308
00:11:23.445 --> 00:11:25.295
What is, what is that, what are we doing here?
309
00:11:25.365 --> 00:11:27.295
There's a lot of bad places in la.
310
00:11:27.555 --> 00:11:28.935
Not a lot of bad places in
311
00:11:29.135 --> 00:11:30.135
Malibu,
.
312
00:11:30.255 --> 00:11:31.735
No, no, they're not. They're not.
313
00:11:31.795 --> 00:11:34.535
And I'm eternally grateful, uh, to my friends
314
00:11:34.555 --> 00:11:36.295
for allowing us to crash here for a few days
315
00:11:36.295 --> 00:11:38.775
as we get over our Japan hangover.
316
00:11:42.915 --> 00:11:44.855
So how was, how was the travel back?
317
00:11:45.075 --> 00:11:46.455
You were there covering F1.
318
00:11:46.455 --> 00:11:47.855
We'll do that in the main episode.
319
00:11:48.265 --> 00:11:50.975
We'll cover, we're gonna cover some travel stuff, uh,
320
00:11:50.995 --> 00:11:52.055
on the Thursday episode
321
00:11:52.055 --> 00:11:54.805
because as a travel podcast, it seems only appropriate
322
00:11:54.865 --> 00:11:55.965
to hold some of it off.
323
00:11:56.225 --> 00:12:01.085
Um, I will say that it, we made it, I'll tell you,
324
00:12:01.085 --> 00:12:02.765
I'll tell you this story of leaving the,
325
00:12:02.985 --> 00:12:04.725
the track on Sunday.
326
00:12:05.625 --> 00:12:09.525
So , here's look,
327
00:12:10.445 --> 00:12:13.485
F1 has this interesting, um,
328
00:12:13.955 --> 00:12:15.445
dilemma, right?
329
00:12:15.445 --> 00:12:19.885
Okay. So there are a lot
330
00:12:19.885 --> 00:12:23.725
of good things about having sellout crowds in the healthy
331
00:12:23.985 --> 00:12:25.445
six figure number, right?
332
00:12:26.955 --> 00:12:30.325
Most series would aspire to have fat and,
333
00:12:30.425 --> 00:12:32.245
and welcome it with open arms.
334
00:12:33.335 --> 00:12:34.485
There are some challenges. We get
335
00:12:34.485 --> 00:12:35.965
It once a year,
Right?
336
00:12:36.785 --> 00:12:39.125
And there are some challenges. Um, we
337
00:12:39.125 --> 00:12:40.125
Get it once a year.
,
338
00:12:40.525 --> 00:12:44.005
right? Namely egress. Yeah.
339
00:12:44.065 --> 00:12:46.445
Is, um, you know, people trickle in at different times.
340
00:12:46.865 --> 00:12:51.565
You know, uh, people all leave in a pretty small window.
341
00:12:52.825 --> 00:12:57.405
And most old school
342
00:12:57.455 --> 00:12:59.365
racetracks are built out in the middle of nowhere
343
00:12:59.365 --> 00:13:00.565
because that's the only place
344
00:13:00.565 --> 00:13:01.765
you're allowed to build racetracks.
345
00:13:02.465 --> 00:13:05.645
And so the infrastructure for a mass exodus
346
00:13:05.645 --> 00:13:07.405
of human beings not awesome.
347
00:13:07.765 --> 00:13:09.845
Non-existent, not awesome. No.
348
00:13:10.465 --> 00:13:12.445
So Becky
349
00:13:12.545 --> 00:13:16.285
and I's Plan post-race
350
00:13:17.345 --> 00:13:19.805
was our friends had come out, um,
351
00:13:20.185 --> 00:13:22.165
our friends from Singapore had flown outta Japan.
352
00:13:22.195 --> 00:13:23.245
They, Becky and, and
353
00:13:23.345 --> 00:13:25.045
and them were hanging out over the weekend.
354
00:13:25.785 --> 00:13:27.845
Um, they all came to the race on Sunday.
355
00:13:28.635 --> 00:13:31.845
They very smartly ducked outta the race a little bit
356
00:13:31.845 --> 00:13:35.845
before the end and started the train trip back to Kyoto,
357
00:13:35.845 --> 00:13:37.045
which is where they had been staying.
358
00:13:37.785 --> 00:13:40.885
And so my plan was Sunday night Becky was gonna stay
359
00:13:40.885 --> 00:13:42.285
with me, so they were gonna take off,
360
00:13:42.455 --> 00:13:44.125
Becky was gonna stay at the track with me.
361
00:13:44.125 --> 00:13:47.245
And then her and I were going to trip back
362
00:13:47.245 --> 00:13:50.645
to train trip back to Kyoto, which is like an hour
363
00:13:50.865 --> 00:13:53.805
and 20 minutes kind of on a normal program.
364
00:13:54.585 --> 00:13:56.605
That's like what it took them to get in, for example.
365
00:13:57.865 --> 00:14:00.645
So race finishes, post race show finishes.
366
00:14:01.245 --> 00:14:02.965
I wrap up some loose ends
367
00:14:03.265 --> 00:14:06.965
and we're like, okay, um, our options are
368
00:14:08.145 --> 00:14:11.485
get into one of the cars that the crew has drive back
369
00:14:11.485 --> 00:14:16.165
to our hotel, which Google Maps was saying at the time
370
00:14:16.185 --> 00:14:19.925
of our decision making was gonna be an hour
371
00:14:19.945 --> 00:14:23.925
and 15 minute drive in the wrong direction from Kyoto,
372
00:14:23.985 --> 00:14:25.885
but we could then like get a train from
373
00:14:25.885 --> 00:14:27.445
there and start the journey.
374
00:14:28.265 --> 00:14:30.445
And I knew based on experience of leaving that track
375
00:14:30.505 --> 00:14:32.125
for every night for the last four nights,
376
00:14:32.835 --> 00:14:34.325
hour 15 was incorrect.
377
00:14:34.585 --> 00:14:36.085
It was going to be longer than that. Okay.
378
00:14:36.085 --> 00:14:38.005
So I'm like, no, no, there's a train station here.
379
00:14:38.385 --> 00:14:39.765
Yes, it's gonna be packed with people,
380
00:14:39.905 --> 00:14:41.405
but it's probably still quicker
381
00:14:41.465 --> 00:14:43.445
to just go line up there and, and do that.
382
00:14:44.585 --> 00:14:46.005
So I get my luggage outta the car
383
00:14:46.465 --> 00:14:48.245
and we walk with the masses
384
00:14:48.385 --> 00:14:50.765
for like a mile to the train station.
385
00:14:51.705 --> 00:14:55.125
Try again. This thing we get in the lineup for the train
386
00:14:55.125 --> 00:14:56.205
with the people, not the people people.
387
00:14:56.315 --> 00:14:58.365
Correct? Yeah, yeah. Just, yeah. Yes. With the people.
388
00:14:59.095 --> 00:15:01.565
Right. There were, there was, it was no people, people
389
00:15:01.565 --> 00:15:03.645
around and, um,
390
00:15:06.705 --> 00:15:10.805
and we get to like, we can see the train station.
391
00:15:11.745 --> 00:15:15.165
We saw the line before we saw the train station, if that, if
392
00:15:15.165 --> 00:15:16.325
that makes sense on the sidewalk.
393
00:15:17.465 --> 00:15:22.205
Um, and we got there, we lined up, we were only 50%.
394
00:15:22.205 --> 00:15:23.925
There were two lines. We were only 50%
395
00:15:23.925 --> 00:15:25.125
sure we were in the right line.
396
00:15:26.105 --> 00:15:30.805
And we stayed in line for about 45 minutes.
397
00:15:32.385 --> 00:15:35.605
And we then kind of did the math, you know,
398
00:15:35.605 --> 00:15:37.645
it's like when you use a legend on a map
399
00:15:37.665 --> 00:15:40.805
or like, hey, one inch is 82 miles or whatever.
400
00:15:41.225 --> 00:15:43.805
And we were like, okay, we've moved this far in this amount
401
00:15:43.805 --> 00:15:48.605
of time, so it's gonna be, it's gonna be three
402
00:15:48.625 --> 00:15:51.245
and a half to four hours before we get on a train .
403
00:15:52.625 --> 00:15:54.445
So we were like, huh.
404
00:15:54.985 --> 00:15:58.765
Now luckily one of the cars hadn't left yet from the track.
405
00:15:59.065 --> 00:16:03.765
And so we pulled shoot, didn't about face, ran back
406
00:16:03.765 --> 00:16:05.605
to the racetrack, still carrying luggage
407
00:16:06.185 --> 00:16:10.205
and uh, found the lovely Laura Winter and Amy ovary
408
00:16:10.425 --> 00:16:15.005
and they gave us a ride back to the hotel from the hotel.
409
00:16:15.225 --> 00:16:17.285
We then got to the train station there
410
00:16:18.425 --> 00:16:21.605
and got on the first train to then go to Nagoya station
411
00:16:21.705 --> 00:16:24.005
to get on the bullet train to go to Kyoto
412
00:16:24.185 --> 00:16:26.685
to then get into cab to go to the Airbnb.
413
00:16:26.685 --> 00:16:30.005
We were staying at the, even these trains,
414
00:16:30.005 --> 00:16:32.125
like at this point is, are so busy
415
00:16:32.125 --> 00:16:34.285
because there's just people scattering from the
416
00:16:34.285 --> 00:16:35.485
region going everywhere.
417
00:16:35.535 --> 00:16:39.325
Right? So the, the trains there, they have,
418
00:16:39.865 --> 00:16:42.355
um, seats.
419
00:16:42.615 --> 00:16:46.475
The last row of each car is reserved for people
420
00:16:46.475 --> 00:16:49.995
with big luggage because there's like a big space
421
00:16:50.215 --> 00:16:52.235
behind the last row of seats to the,
422
00:16:52.335 --> 00:16:54.275
to like the bulkhead to the, to the wall.
423
00:16:54.275 --> 00:16:57.355
Basically. Not enough for another seat,
424
00:16:57.415 --> 00:16:59.715
but enough to like squeeze in some suitcases.
425
00:16:59.815 --> 00:17:02.555
So like if you're booking a ticket on this, on these trains
426
00:17:02.575 --> 00:17:05.555
and you have luggage, you like try to reserve that last row.
427
00:17:05.605 --> 00:17:10.155
Right? And so we got on this train and I have a suitcase.
428
00:17:10.415 --> 00:17:12.715
We had not reserved, this was not a reserve ticket car,
429
00:17:12.895 --> 00:17:14.155
but the place was, was packed.
430
00:17:14.155 --> 00:17:15.995
There were people standing in like the breezeways
431
00:17:15.995 --> 00:17:17.035
between the cars or whatever.
432
00:17:18.095 --> 00:17:20.995
But there was the last row of this train.
433
00:17:21.415 --> 00:17:22.515
People were in the seats,
434
00:17:22.535 --> 00:17:24.235
but there was nobody in the back rows.
435
00:17:25.215 --> 00:17:27.675
So I was like, cool. So we could chuck our luggage
436
00:17:27.895 --> 00:17:30.395
or my luggage in that section.
437
00:17:31.175 --> 00:17:32.715
But then there was nowhere to sit.
438
00:17:33.015 --> 00:17:35.075
So we were just hanging out on the other side
439
00:17:35.375 --> 00:17:36.515
in this luggage space.
440
00:17:36.565 --> 00:17:38.955
Becky and I were just like standing there.
441
00:17:39.255 --> 00:17:41.155
But then it was kind of awkward 'cause we're like standing
442
00:17:41.265 --> 00:17:43.795
over the people sitting directly in front of us.
443
00:17:43.815 --> 00:17:45.715
And I was like, I wouldn't love that if that was me.
444
00:17:46.095 --> 00:17:48.595
So we crouched down and we were jammed.
445
00:17:48.695 --> 00:17:52.245
I'm gonna show you the picture. We were in the luggage
446
00:17:52.245 --> 00:17:53.605
compartment for all intents
447
00:17:53.605 --> 00:17:56.845
and purposes on this train riding home.
448
00:17:57.465 --> 00:17:59.165
So like Tim for reference, like
449
00:17:59.905 --> 00:18:02.575
that's okay.
450
00:18:02.845 --> 00:18:05.815
Okay. So then, so then I jumped it. Yeah. Text those to me
451
00:18:05.955 --> 00:18:07.095
So I can post these on the video.
452
00:18:08.315 --> 00:18:09.415
So then I joined her
453
00:18:09.415 --> 00:18:12.215
and so then we're just crouching down behind this
454
00:18:12.755 --> 00:18:15.175
behind this row seats jammed in there.
455
00:18:15.515 --> 00:18:17.335
And that was just until we got to the next train.
456
00:18:17.755 --> 00:18:20.775
Anyway, the, the, the, the journey out of the track
457
00:18:21.235 --> 00:18:24.535
to get back to Kyoto was, uh, it was something, man,
458
00:18:24.535 --> 00:18:26.935
it was an interesting, it was an interesting experience.
459
00:18:27.475 --> 00:18:30.455
So, okay, I've had somebody ask this to me
460
00:18:30.455 --> 00:18:32.175
because they're, they're coming to the Indy 500
461
00:18:32.235 --> 00:18:33.255
for the first time this year.
462
00:18:33.715 --> 00:18:34.815
And I, I tried to warn,
463
00:18:34.815 --> 00:18:36.215
they were like, well, how is it getting in?
464
00:18:36.255 --> 00:18:37.295
I was like, getting in's.
465
00:18:37.445 --> 00:18:39.655
Okay, it's not great, but it's okay.
466
00:18:39.885 --> 00:18:41.335
Getting out's gonna be your problem.
467
00:18:42.315 --> 00:18:44.935
And 'cause same thing everybody trickles in,
468
00:18:45.235 --> 00:18:46.575
you all leave at the same time.
469
00:18:47.555 --> 00:18:49.375
Uh, with that, all of that,
470
00:18:49.595 --> 00:18:51.535
if somebody was considering going to that race
471
00:18:51.555 --> 00:18:53.455
for the first time, would you say it's worth it?
472
00:18:53.995 --> 00:18:57.495
Wow. Yeah. Look man, it's um, I think because
473
00:18:57.615 --> 00:18:58.975
I, I think the five hundred's worth it,
474
00:18:59.205 --> 00:19:00.495
500 is for sure worth it.
475
00:19:01.035 --> 00:19:05.775
The, the, the difference being the 500 is, um,
476
00:19:06.725 --> 00:19:08.855
very different from the rest of our races.
477
00:19:09.075 --> 00:19:10.095
Mm-hmm . Right?
478
00:19:10.485 --> 00:19:13.375
Like, would I want to sit in traffic
479
00:19:13.435 --> 00:19:16.615
for three hours to leave mid Ohio? I don't know.
480
00:19:16.855 --> 00:19:18.695
I guess, I guess if you're going to Japan, you're,
481
00:19:18.695 --> 00:19:20.975
that's probably the only F1 race you're going to
482
00:19:21.485 --> 00:19:22.775
like most of those people, right?
483
00:19:23.005 --> 00:19:25.295
Yeah. Or like, it's a bucket list one that you want to go
484
00:19:25.295 --> 00:19:26.815
to for the sake of seeing Suzuka.
485
00:19:26.935 --> 00:19:28.295
'cause it's one of the coolest tracks in the world.
486
00:19:28.395 --> 00:19:30.215
And so like, so yes, it is worth it.
487
00:19:30.375 --> 00:19:33.535
I do think, look, if I were to do it again, Tim,
488
00:19:33.655 --> 00:19:35.775
I would've planned things very differently, right?
489
00:19:35.935 --> 00:19:37.855
I I, I had zero plan.
490
00:19:38.035 --> 00:19:41.855
And so that was like, you know, um, I I,
491
00:19:41.855 --> 00:19:42.935
yeah, there was no fort
492
00:19:42.935 --> 00:19:43.935
On my head.
493
00:19:43.935 --> 00:19:45.215
Used to a big helicopter guy. Was that not an option?
494
00:19:45.645 --> 00:19:49.735
Yeah. Yeah. It's less of an option. Less of an option. Um,
495
00:19:49.735 --> 00:19:51.055
Podcast money isn't great.
496
00:19:51.915 --> 00:19:53.895
No, no. I'm, I don't have desk money.
497
00:19:53.895 --> 00:19:55.695
Nevermind chopper money.
498
00:19:56.115 --> 00:20:00.895
So, so the, uh, yes, I, I do think it's worth it.
499
00:20:00.935 --> 00:20:01.935
I think you just have to know what
500
00:20:01.935 --> 00:20:03.175
you're getting yourself into, right?
501
00:20:03.255 --> 00:20:05.415
I think that's part of it is like, when you're unprepared
502
00:20:05.635 --> 00:20:07.335
for what you're about to face, it's like
503
00:20:07.335 --> 00:20:08.775
that much more shocking.
504
00:20:09.195 --> 00:20:10.975
So if you know what you're getting yourself into, it's fine.
505
00:20:11.005 --> 00:20:12.095
Look, they all suck, man.
506
00:20:12.855 --> 00:20:15.815
'cause F1 has the, the beautiful struggle
507
00:20:15.835 --> 00:20:17.455
of every race is sold out.
508
00:20:17.995 --> 00:20:20.815
And so, like, getting out of Austin is a pain in the ass.
509
00:20:20.835 --> 00:20:21.895
But it's still a great event.
510
00:20:22.515 --> 00:20:24.615
If, if you were doing like a one day trip
511
00:20:25.235 --> 00:20:27.575
and it was gonna take you an hour and a half to get in
512
00:20:27.575 --> 00:20:30.575
and four and a half hours to get out, probably not worth it.
513
00:20:30.715 --> 00:20:32.415
But if you're there every day for four days
514
00:20:32.415 --> 00:20:33.775
and you get to see a little bit of everything
515
00:20:34.075 --> 00:20:35.655
and it's just Sunday night, that sucks.
516
00:20:35.965 --> 00:20:37.535
Yeah, for sure. Um, I
517
00:20:37.535 --> 00:20:38.895
Mean, I'll I'll I'll rephrase.
518
00:20:39.675 --> 00:20:40.935
Is Becky coming next
519
00:20:40.935 --> 00:20:41.935
year?
?
520
00:20:45.515 --> 00:20:47.925
Um, no, but for very different reasons.
521
00:20:49.145 --> 00:20:51.685
, it was budgetary constraints to do that again.
522
00:20:52.705 --> 00:20:54.565
Um, but no, it was totally worth it.
523
00:20:54.565 --> 00:20:57.725
It was so great to see our friends. Kyoto was amazing.
524
00:20:58.005 --> 00:21:00.285
I don't think I, I think our last episode was
525
00:21:00.465 --> 00:21:03.125
before we went to Kyoto, um,
526
00:21:04.375 --> 00:21:06.965
which was just phenomenal.
527
00:21:07.005 --> 00:21:08.005
I mean, one of the greatest places
528
00:21:08.065 --> 00:21:09.885
to see all the cherry blossoms, which, you know,
529
00:21:09.885 --> 00:21:11.805
we talked a bunch about and is, is very well known.
530
00:21:12.305 --> 00:21:17.005
Um, saw the, the Bamboo forest in Aama, which was one
531
00:21:17.005 --> 00:21:19.525
of the most Instagrammable places I've ever been in my life.
532
00:21:19.585 --> 00:21:23.005
And unfortunately everybody there was trying
533
00:21:23.005 --> 00:21:24.365
to add to that collection.
534
00:21:24.985 --> 00:21:27.285
Um, yeah. But, uh,
535
00:21:27.465 --> 00:21:29.685
but a adorable little town and, and great area.
536
00:21:30.105 --> 00:21:32.565
And dude, we went to this one, um, temple.
537
00:21:34.465 --> 00:21:38.325
Um, and we went at night, it was after dinner.
538
00:21:38.665 --> 00:21:40.565
And this is a place where like, they light up,
539
00:21:40.565 --> 00:21:45.325
there's like this one massive like owing cherry blossom tree
540
00:21:45.355 --> 00:21:47.965
that gets lit up and it's in this kind of, it's again, it's,
541
00:21:48.035 --> 00:21:49.525
it's on this, these temple gardens,
542
00:21:49.525 --> 00:21:50.645
like the whole thing's just gorgeous,
543
00:21:51.105 --> 00:21:52.845
but it's open, like for the night,
544
00:21:53.385 --> 00:21:55.525
all these little vendors set up, it, it kind
545
00:21:55.525 --> 00:21:56.565
of looks like a state fair,
546
00:21:56.825 --> 00:22:01.005
but it's around cherry blossom trees in a temple like
547
00:22:01.635 --> 00:22:04.125
gardens rather than, you know, the parking lot
548
00:22:04.125 --> 00:22:06.125
of the horse race track in Indie.
549
00:22:06.665 --> 00:22:10.405
Um, and so we walked on there having this great time
550
00:22:11.065 --> 00:22:13.485
inside this temple that's all lit up beautifully at night
551
00:22:13.485 --> 00:22:15.325
and taking all these, you know, cool pictures, whatever.
552
00:22:16.065 --> 00:22:19.885
And this guy comes up to me and Becky
553
00:22:20.185 --> 00:22:21.685
and he goes, I'm sorry to interrupt.
554
00:22:21.685 --> 00:22:25.565
He goes, are you James Hinchcliffe ? And I kind of like .
555
00:22:27.625 --> 00:22:30.005
And I was like, I was like, yeah, yeah.
556
00:22:30.005 --> 00:22:31.285
Hey man, how's it going? He goes,
557
00:22:31.315 --> 00:22:35.005
yeah, oh, you're serious.
558
00:22:35.065 --> 00:22:38.005
You actually are. And I'm like, yeah, no, yeah, yeah, no,
559
00:22:38.285 --> 00:22:39.885
it's, I am, I really am.
560
00:22:40.065 --> 00:22:42.565
He thought I, he like, I almost thought he was kidding.
561
00:22:42.825 --> 00:22:44.085
And then he thought I was kidding.
562
00:22:44.585 --> 00:22:47.245
Anyway, his name's Sam, quick guy.
563
00:22:47.245 --> 00:22:49.925
He recognize you from, uh, F1 tv,
564
00:22:50.275 --> 00:22:51.805
IndyCar, dancing with the Stars,
565
00:22:52.425 --> 00:22:54.645
All , all of the above.
566
00:22:54.985 --> 00:22:57.525
So I think originally F1.
567
00:22:58.105 --> 00:22:59.965
And then he told me, he was like,
568
00:23:00.145 --> 00:23:02.085
you are the reason I started watching IndyCar.
569
00:23:02.345 --> 00:23:04.445
Oh, hell yeah. And I was like, that's amazing.
570
00:23:04.465 --> 00:23:06.165
That's so cool, man. Thank you for saying that.
571
00:23:06.165 --> 00:23:09.165
And thank you for watching. And so he's from Atlanta
572
00:23:09.945 --> 00:23:12.405
and he, you know, it had been a bucket list thing for him
573
00:23:12.405 --> 00:23:15.525
to come to see Suzuka and, and, and do the F1 race.
574
00:23:15.545 --> 00:23:16.845
So he was doing that. Like he,
575
00:23:16.865 --> 00:23:18.365
we were actually on very similar programs.
576
00:23:18.365 --> 00:23:20.045
He'd come a week early and was touring around
577
00:23:20.045 --> 00:23:21.365
and was going to the race and then
578
00:23:21.365 --> 00:23:22.485
he was staying for a little bit more.
579
00:23:23.065 --> 00:23:24.925
But, uh, so I said, I was like,
580
00:23:24.925 --> 00:23:26.085
have you been to an IndyCar race yet?
581
00:23:26.085 --> 00:23:27.245
And he goes, no, not yet.
582
00:23:27.625 --> 00:23:30.045
And I was like, well, look man, I'm like, Arbor's coming up.
583
00:23:30.065 --> 00:23:32.485
You're from Atlanta. It's a two hour drive if you ever,
584
00:23:32.485 --> 00:23:34.165
you know, if you got the time,
585
00:23:34.195 --> 00:23:35.245
it's definitely worth checking out.
586
00:23:35.245 --> 00:23:36.645
It's a great spot. And the museum
587
00:23:36.645 --> 00:23:38.645
and all that stuff, whatever I said, yeah, it's cool.
588
00:23:38.645 --> 00:23:39.885
I'll, I'll look into that man. Thanks. Cool.
589
00:23:39.885 --> 00:23:41.005
So we kind of said our goodbyes,
590
00:23:41.005 --> 00:23:42.045
chat it for a bit and went off.
591
00:23:43.165 --> 00:23:44.485
I get an Instagram message from
592
00:23:44.505 --> 00:23:45.540
Sam a couple, couple days later.
593
00:23:45.540 --> 00:23:46.885
He goes, all right, you sold me.
594
00:23:46.885 --> 00:23:48.565

595
00:23:48.565 --> 00:23:49.365

608
00:24:14.405 --> 00:24:16.685

Oh,
Yes and no.

00:24:59.595 --> 00:25:01.965
Okay.
Philosophically worse.

00:25:02.505 --> 00:25:04.165
Got it. Okay.
Practicality was fine,
