WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.195 --> 00:00:01.485
<v Speaker 1>This is, is off track.</v>

2
00:00:03.285 --> 00:00:05.565
<v Speaker 2>Remember how James is ing off in The Bahamas on Tuesday?</v>

3
00:00:06.395 --> 00:00:09.485
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Okay. So we're recording a little late on Monday.</v>

4
00:00:09.665 --> 00:00:12.085
And, and James is, uh, is late.

5
00:00:12.515 --> 00:00:14.445
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Late. Just late or Tuesday.</v>

6
00:00:14.625 --> 00:00:16.725
All, all of our things are scheduled around James,

7
00:00:16.745 --> 00:00:19.365
it would seem, I spent all day with James for his charity .

8
00:00:20.105 --> 00:00:22.685
Um, and it's now eight 20 on a Tuesday.

9
00:00:22.945 --> 00:00:25.165
Uh, I just came from the IMS museum,

10
00:00:25.215 --> 00:00:27.165
which if you have not been yet,

11
00:00:27.405 --> 00:00:29.245
I didn't actually, I was in and out.

12
00:00:29.405 --> 00:00:31.725
I just had to do a quick little thingy, Bob.

13
00:00:32.345 --> 00:00:33.925
Um, and I didn't see it all,

14
00:00:34.025 --> 00:00:36.445
but the glimpses that I saw it is,

15
00:00:37.225 --> 00:00:38.925
wow. It is. How we going?

16
00:00:38.925 --> 00:00:40.325
<v Speaker 3>I was supposed to go with somebody. We're just</v>

17
00:00:40.325 --> 00:00:41.165
<v Speaker 1>Going, eh? Oh yeah.</v>

18
00:00:41.435 --> 00:00:44.805
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I mean, when you're 21 minutes late. Yeah,</v>

19
00:00:45.105 --> 00:00:46.525
<v Speaker 1>I'm six minutes late and it's</v>

20
00:00:46.525 --> 00:00:48.525
because my laptop was not in the room

21
00:00:48.585 --> 00:00:49.805
it was supposed to be in.

22
00:00:49.805 --> 00:00:50.885
Thank you very much. Mm-hmm.

23
00:00:52.515 --> 00:00:55.805
<v Speaker 2>Anyways. Sounds</v>
<v Speaker 3>Like excuses 'cause not our museum.</v>

24
00:00:55.945 --> 00:00:57.725
<v Speaker 2>Museum is very cool. Very,</v>

25
00:00:57.725 --> 00:00:58.725
<v Speaker 3>Very cool.</v>

26
00:00:58.725 --> 00:01:00.485
I was, uh, I was supposed to go see the museum last time I

27
00:01:00.485 --> 00:01:02.765
was in indie, but, uh, someone bailed on me.

28
00:01:03.785 --> 00:01:05.805
<v Speaker 2>Oh, who? Doug? You. It was Easter</v>

29
00:01:05.805 --> 00:01:06.805
weekend.
<v Speaker 3>.</v>

30
00:01:08.225 --> 00:01:09.485
<v Speaker 1>You was gonna say, who was he talking about?</v>

31
00:01:09.725 --> 00:01:12.445
<v Speaker 3>I, Alex was gonna take Hazel and I at the museum Friday.</v>

32
00:01:13.085 --> 00:01:16.605
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna see Hazel and you to the museum on a very, um,</v>

33
00:01:17.065 --> 00:01:19.325
not, uh, public situation.

34
00:01:19.385 --> 00:01:20.485
And it was Easter weekend.

35
00:01:20.745 --> 00:01:22.085
<v Speaker 3>So, okay, let's start off,</v>

36
00:01:22.085 --> 00:01:25.845
because we heard all about the 4 29 golf outing from Deep U

37
00:01:25.845 --> 00:01:27.565
on the Tuesday episode. How did it go?

38
00:01:27.595 --> 00:01:30.245
<v Speaker 1>What was that? I wasn't there. So what happened in the</v>

39
00:01:30.245 --> 00:01:31.245
episode?
<v Speaker 3>.</v>

40
00:01:32.315 --> 00:01:34.405
Well, you invited Deep U on the show

41
00:01:34.425 --> 00:01:35.965
and then also didn't show up for that .

42
00:01:38.885 --> 00:01:40.045
<v Speaker 1>I don't see a problem with this.</v>

43
00:01:40.675 --> 00:01:42.285
This, this show is a group effort

44
00:01:42.865 --> 00:01:46.365
and you guys also both know Depu and so it's,

45
00:01:46.365 --> 00:01:47.965
<v Speaker 3>No, it was a great episode and it was better</v>

46
00:01:47.965 --> 00:01:49.445
without you, if I'm being honest. Uh,

47
00:01:49.465 --> 00:01:50.465
<v Speaker 1>Yes.</v>

48
00:01:50.465 --> 00:01:51.525
No, I, I have not yet listened.

49
00:01:51.665 --> 00:01:53.805
But I actually had several people, uh,

50
00:01:53.865 --> 00:01:57.325
during our golf outing today mention

51
00:01:57.435 --> 00:01:58.885
that they heard the episode

52
00:01:59.345 --> 00:02:00.885
and that they, they were very,

53
00:02:00.885 --> 00:02:03.165
they were thoroughly entertained by, uh,

54
00:02:03.545 --> 00:02:05.445
depo's performance on the show.

55
00:02:05.705 --> 00:02:07.245
So I'm going to listen back to it

56
00:02:07.245 --> 00:02:10.325
because I can't miss that. It sounds just

57
00:02:10.685 --> 00:02:11.685
<v Speaker 3>Terrific.</v>

58
00:02:11.685 --> 00:02:13.565
Um, you know what though? You missed Tuesday.

59
00:02:13.865 --> 00:02:16.925
You were late on this one. Your picture's going down .

60
00:02:19.235 --> 00:02:21.125
<v Speaker 1>Cool. Your picture was never up in mine. .</v>

61
00:02:21.485 --> 00:02:24.445
So not really offended by that. Um, do

62
00:02:24.565 --> 00:02:25.565
<v Speaker 2>Actually, actually have a picture of him.</v>

63
00:02:25.775 --> 00:02:27.845
<v Speaker 1>We've been over this. He's got pictures of all of us.</v>

64
00:02:28.465 --> 00:02:30.925
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, no. I know that.</v>

65
00:02:31.225 --> 00:02:32.805
Do you actually have a picture of Tim though,

66
00:02:33.075 --> 00:02:34.525
<v Speaker 1>Like in general</v>

67
00:02:35.355 --> 00:02:38.325
<v Speaker 2>That you would, a printed one that you could display?</v>

68
00:02:38.665 --> 00:02:39.885
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I don't have a printed one.</v>

69
00:02:39.885 --> 00:02:41.845
No, I don't have a printed picture of like,

70
00:02:41.845 --> 00:02:42.845
pretty much anybody

71
00:02:42.985 --> 00:02:45.525
but Becky, to be fair, I don't really print a lot of photos.

72
00:02:46.125 --> 00:02:48.845
<v Speaker 3>I got the frames for this then printed the photos.</v>

73
00:02:49.195 --> 00:02:51.765
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah. I also feel like as a parent</v>

74
00:02:52.345 --> 00:02:55.405
you just inherently print more photos.

75
00:02:55.425 --> 00:02:57.565
That's like a more regular part of your It's true.

76
00:02:57.565 --> 00:02:59.325
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. No, I have, I've got printer paper on,</v>

77
00:02:59.385 --> 00:03:00.525
uh, like photo printer

78
00:03:00.525 --> 00:03:01.525
<v Speaker 2>Paper on deck.</v>

79
00:03:01.525 --> 00:03:02.565
So, so, but why just to display them?

80
00:03:02.565 --> 00:03:03.725
Because like, it's not

81
00:03:03.745 --> 00:03:07.865
as though you need a photo album in this day and age. Uh,

82
00:03:07.865 --> 00:03:08.865
<v Speaker 1>No.</v>

83
00:03:08.865 --> 00:03:09.105
Yeah, no, it's for frames. One

84
00:03:09.105 --> 00:03:10.905
<v Speaker 3>To display them and then two, you'd be surprised</v>

85
00:03:11.165 --> 00:03:13.385
how often you need those for school projects.

86
00:03:13.485 --> 00:03:15.225
Mm-hmm. Because it just isn't the same when you

87
00:03:15.225 --> 00:03:16.465
print it on regular paper.

88
00:03:17.675 --> 00:03:22.185
Right. Um, right. Okay. So golf outing went well.

89
00:03:22.405 --> 00:03:25.185
Did you guys, I don't know, raise blood or whatever?

90
00:03:25.495 --> 00:03:27.105
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we raised a lot of blood.</v>

91
00:03:27.405 --> 00:03:28.985
That's, uh, that was the goal of the day.

92
00:03:29.325 --> 00:03:31.465
No, the, the, yeah, the outing was great.

93
00:03:31.495 --> 00:03:33.105
Alex, I'd love to hear your opinion on it.

94
00:03:33.125 --> 00:03:36.585
We were in different, uh, groups, foursomes,

95
00:03:36.685 --> 00:03:40.745
so we did not get to, uh, interact a ton.

96
00:03:41.765 --> 00:03:45.545
It was a cloudy day that turned into a rainy day.

97
00:03:46.245 --> 00:03:48.865
We had a delayed start, which then turned into like,

98
00:03:48.865 --> 00:03:50.145
what, five holes in.

99
00:03:50.165 --> 00:03:54.825
We had like a pause for, we had a red flag for rain, uh,

100
00:03:54.935 --> 00:03:59.265
further, you know, further making me dislike golf.

101
00:03:59.705 --> 00:04:02.345
'cause red flags should only happen in racing.

102
00:04:03.765 --> 00:04:06.665
Um, but it was good. I thought it was good.

103
00:04:06.745 --> 00:04:07.825
I thought it was a great turnout.

104
00:04:07.905 --> 00:04:09.465
I thought it was a decent amount of fun

105
00:04:09.645 --> 00:04:11.785
as someone who's done like one of these things ever.

106
00:04:12.405 --> 00:04:15.425
Uh, Alex, I'd be curious to know what you thought of, of the

107
00:04:15.525 --> 00:04:16.525
<v Speaker 2>Day.</v>

108
00:04:16.525 --> 00:04:18.425
Well, I've done exactly one of these things ever.

109
00:04:18.885 --> 00:04:23.065
Um, so you took my golf out in virginity. Uh, so congrats.

110
00:04:23.545 --> 00:04:25.785
I thought it was fantastic. I don't know.

111
00:04:25.945 --> 00:04:28.545
I don't, I mean, I don't know. I'm the wrong guy to ask.

112
00:04:28.785 --> 00:04:31.265
I thought it was great. I don't know what they're supposed

113
00:04:31.265 --> 00:04:32.705
to be like though, so. Well, no,

114
00:04:33.025 --> 00:04:34.425
<v Speaker 1>I was just asking if you had a good time.</v>

115
00:04:35.265 --> 00:04:37.585
<v Speaker 2>I didn't. I I was not happy in the beginning.</v>

116
00:04:37.695 --> 00:04:40.025
Like, I don't, I don't like golf enough

117
00:04:40.245 --> 00:04:44.345
or am good enough at golf, uh, to want to play soaking wet.

118
00:04:44.565 --> 00:04:45.625
No. In life. Absolutely.

119
00:04:46.085 --> 00:04:47.945
<v Speaker 1>No.</v>
<v Speaker 2>Um, that was not, I was not happy.</v>

120
00:04:48.165 --> 00:04:49.305
But then the sun came out

121
00:04:49.605 --> 00:04:51.865
and it was a, ended up being a pretty nice day

122
00:04:51.925 --> 00:04:53.145
and then I was enjoying it more.

123
00:04:53.325 --> 00:04:54.905
Um, so yeah, no, I think,

124
00:04:54.985 --> 00:04:56.505
I think it was organized incredibly well.

125
00:04:56.665 --> 00:05:00.185
I thought the e everyone had every amenity and,

126
00:05:00.365 --> 00:05:02.025
and I thought that was the right amount of people.

127
00:05:02.025 --> 00:05:04.025
Like no one was really waiting on anyone.

128
00:05:04.165 --> 00:05:06.905
It went by quickly considering we had rain delays.

129
00:05:07.165 --> 00:05:10.465
Ten five stars, 10 outta 10 no notes.

130
00:05:11.005 --> 00:05:12.585
You can't control the weather. It's not your fault.

131
00:05:12.765 --> 00:05:13.825
We were making jokes though,

132
00:05:14.055 --> 00:05:15.185
like at the beginning of the day.

133
00:05:15.185 --> 00:05:17.745
It was like &lt;inaudible&gt;. It would've been really nice if

134
00:05:17.855 --> 00:05:19.945
Rick Meers could have led 428 laps

135
00:05:20.525 --> 00:05:21.865
<v Speaker 1>And only 1 28 to</v>

136
00:05:22.455 --> 00:05:23.865
<v Speaker 2>Yesterday was, yesterday was beautiful.</v>

137
00:05:24.245 --> 00:05:25.865
And, uh, today was not that.

138
00:05:26.205 --> 00:05:28.945
But, uh, no, you, congratulations. Great work.

139
00:05:29.285 --> 00:05:33.145
Um, obviously for a cause very close to your heart,

140
00:05:33.145 --> 00:05:34.705
which we already talked about a lot of why

141
00:05:34.705 --> 00:05:35.825
that is on Tuesday.

142
00:05:36.765 --> 00:05:38.785
And um, yeah. Bravo, James.

143
00:05:38.945 --> 00:05:40.065
I can't wait for next year, dude.

144
00:05:40.065 --> 00:05:41.225
Uh, you better not invite more people

145
00:05:41.225 --> 00:05:42.585
though 'cause that was enough for me. No,

146
00:05:42.585 --> 00:05:43.585
<v Speaker 1>No, no.</v>

147
00:05:43.585 --> 00:05:45.345
That's like the thing is it, there's the reason it's, oh,

148
00:05:45.345 --> 00:05:46.785
it doesn't say invitational on the hat,

149
00:05:47.005 --> 00:05:48.945
but it is called the 4 29 Invitational.

150
00:05:49.255 --> 00:05:51.905
It's an invitational event and we are not gonna expand it

151
00:05:51.905 --> 00:05:53.585
because even though we could make more money

152
00:05:53.965 --> 00:05:55.985
for the charity, which ultimately is the goal,

153
00:05:56.765 --> 00:05:59.205
we want people to want to come back or else it kind

154
00:05:59.205 --> 00:06:00.205
<v Speaker 2>Of defeats the purpose.</v>

155
00:06:00.205 --> 00:06:01.725
Yeah. We have less fun. So that's also the goal.

156
00:06:01.795 --> 00:06:03.845
<v Speaker 1>There's a balance. There's a fun thing. If we could do</v>

157
00:06:03.915 --> 00:06:06.405
<v Speaker 2>Raising balance, if we could do it though, like, I mean,</v>

158
00:06:06.465 --> 00:06:09.205
we really need to talk to Indy car

159
00:06:09.205 --> 00:06:11.045
because having it on the Tuesday

160
00:06:11.185 --> 00:06:13.405
of a race week is not awesome.

161
00:06:14.115 --> 00:06:16.205
<v Speaker 1>Okay. Well for the drivers</v>
<v Speaker 2>That were there</v>

162
00:06:16.795 --> 00:06:20.485
<v Speaker 1>That weekend, as in this weekend when we're racing in</v>

163
00:06:20.485 --> 00:06:23.325
Barber is never a race weekend. This

164
00:06:23.325 --> 00:06:24.325
<v Speaker 2>Is Rev weekend, right?</v>

165
00:06:24.325 --> 00:06:26.125
It's usually, it's usually our derby Rev

166
00:06:26.505 --> 00:06:27.565
double weekend. Yeah.

167
00:06:27.565 --> 00:06:31.165
<v Speaker 1>Correct. So, so this I hope was an anomaly that we can,</v>

168
00:06:31.545 --> 00:06:33.085
we can rectify this issue

169
00:06:33.545 --> 00:06:36.005
and next year it won't be a, a problem

170
00:06:36.145 --> 00:06:39.725
and we can have more drivers come and have a great time.

171
00:06:40.505 --> 00:06:45.305
Um, and I do also wanna

172
00:06:45.305 --> 00:06:47.065
shout out, well, I gotta shout out Steven Bischoff

173
00:06:47.065 --> 00:06:48.545
because he did a lot of planning.

174
00:06:48.975 --> 00:06:52.665
Okay, cool. Um, the, uh,

175
00:06:52.665 --> 00:06:54.305
we had a bunch of good, great partners.

176
00:06:54.305 --> 00:06:55.305
Firestone was one.

177
00:06:55.575 --> 00:06:58.145
Andy Racing experience was one which were very,

178
00:06:58.445 --> 00:06:59.905
uh, relevant to what we're doing here.

179
00:07:00.035 --> 00:07:02.225
Juice, head juice, head juice heads. Mm-hmm .

180
00:07:02.875 --> 00:07:06.105
<v Speaker 2>Juice, head,</v>
<v Speaker 1>Head, uh, big supporter.</v>

181
00:07:06.105 --> 00:07:08.265
Thanks for that. Um, so yes,

182
00:07:08.825 --> 00:07:11.825
<v Speaker 2>I think, I think everyone was very, like, the amount</v>

183
00:07:11.825 --> 00:07:14.385
of comments that I got, they were like, dang, halfway

184
00:07:14.385 --> 00:07:18.025
through to have like a vape station was legit.

185
00:07:18.205 --> 00:07:21.865
It was like just free, free, like everything,

186
00:07:21.865 --> 00:07:23.545
whether it was hangover, like all sorts of stuff.

187
00:07:23.665 --> 00:07:28.145
Hangover like, uh, liquids or whether it was your, um,

188
00:07:29.025 --> 00:07:30.185
<v Speaker 1>Although I've gotta pouches</v>

189
00:07:30.565 --> 00:07:31.825
by b one.com is still where

190
00:07:31.825 --> 00:07:32.945
to get your hangover stuff. But that's you, your

191
00:07:33.145 --> 00:07:37.585
<v Speaker 2>Nicotine pouches, your vapes, your new tropics, everything</v>

192
00:07:37.585 --> 00:07:39.385
that you could want they had in their tent

193
00:07:39.405 --> 00:07:43.345
and they were offering it for, uh, for

194
00:07:43.745 --> 00:07:44.745
<v Speaker 1>Customer.</v>

195
00:07:44.745 --> 00:07:46.065
For frizzy, yeah. For a five figure discount.

196
00:07:46.175 --> 00:07:47.265
Like, I, I'll be honest,

197
00:07:47.425 --> 00:07:49.665
I I had seen the sticker on your helmet.

198
00:07:49.945 --> 00:07:51.105
I knew they were a partner.

199
00:07:51.305 --> 00:07:52.825
I honestly had no idea what they did.

200
00:07:53.245 --> 00:07:55.505
And I rocked up to that thing and was floored.

201
00:07:55.505 --> 00:07:59.665
And like, I feel like I, I dunno, I'm not gonna name names,

202
00:07:59.725 --> 00:08:00.785
but like, someone on my team walked

203
00:08:00.785 --> 00:08:01.865
up and was like, oh my God.

204
00:08:01.865 --> 00:08:03.585
And grabbed like four things and threw 'em on the

205
00:08:03.585 --> 00:08:04.745
counter as if like, how much?

206
00:08:04.845 --> 00:08:06.185
And they're like, no, no, no.

207
00:08:06.185 --> 00:08:07.265
Like these are all saying like,

208
00:08:07.265 --> 00:08:08.465
you can just take all these, he was like,

209
00:08:08.575 --> 00:08:10.225
what? He was so blown away.

210
00:08:10.325 --> 00:08:11.945
<v Speaker 2>But in a way more British accent.</v>

211
00:08:13.755 --> 00:08:16.545
<v Speaker 1>definitely not gonna mention who on the team?</v>

212
00:08:16.925 --> 00:08:18.425
Oh, I guess nobody knows who was on my team.

213
00:08:18.495 --> 00:08:20.425
Well, maybe they do. 'cause I'm sure he knows about it.

214
00:08:20.425 --> 00:08:21.465
<v Speaker 3>He tweeted about it. He tweeted</v>

215
00:08:21.465 --> 00:08:22.465
<v Speaker 1>About it.</v>

216
00:08:22.465 --> 00:08:23.465
All right. Anyway, yes, you can deduce who it was,

217
00:08:23.725 --> 00:08:26.865
but somebody, somebody was very excited about the vapes

218
00:08:26.865 --> 00:08:28.305
and, uh, stuff and all sorts of things.

219
00:08:28.875 --> 00:08:30.865
<v Speaker 3>We'll keep his, we'll keep his identity anonymous.</v>

220
00:08:30.965 --> 00:08:32.905
It will be, no, there's too many of that.

221
00:08:33.055 --> 00:08:34.745
It's w Buxton, right?

222
00:08:35.205 --> 00:08:38.465
<v Speaker 1>It starts with a w and ends with Ill buxton Anyway, um,</v>

223
00:08:38.835 --> 00:08:40.385
sorry Tim, what were you gonna say? I

224
00:08:40.385 --> 00:08:42.945
<v Speaker 3>Know I don't really, uh, partake in vapes</v>

225
00:08:42.945 --> 00:08:45.785
or anything like that, or smoke or even play golf,

226
00:08:46.005 --> 00:08:47.785
but, um, my FOMO is kicking in.

227
00:08:47.785 --> 00:08:49.545
Can I get, uh, can you guys add like one

228
00:08:49.545 --> 00:08:50.745
on the invitational for next year?

229
00:08:51.165 --> 00:08:52.225
<v Speaker 2>Oh, here we go. Here we go.</v>

230
00:08:52.765 --> 00:08:55.205
She wants more free products. I, you know,

231
00:08:55.475 --> 00:08:56.485
<v Speaker 3>I'll learn how to play golf.</v>

232
00:08:56.755 --> 00:08:58.165
I'll buy a ticket I'd, I'll learn how

233
00:08:58.165 --> 00:08:59.405
to play golf in the next

234
00:08:59.405 --> 00:09:00.405
<v Speaker 1>Year.</v>

235
00:09:00.405 --> 00:09:03.445
Um, here's the thing, it, everybody that was, uh, agreed

236
00:09:03.445 --> 00:09:05.645
and signed up for year one does have the first

237
00:09:05.645 --> 00:09:07.485
rider refusal for year two. So you need

238
00:09:07.485 --> 00:09:08.485
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.</v>

239
00:09:08.485 --> 00:09:08.845
But like, I saw some people that were there.

240
00:09:08.905 --> 00:09:10.005
You guys don't need them. I,

241
00:09:10.045 --> 00:09:11.125
I have a list of people you can cut.

242
00:09:11.315 --> 00:09:12.965
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. But so, but they were there.</v>

243
00:09:13.705 --> 00:09:15.605
<v Speaker 3>No, no. But like did</v>
<v Speaker 1>You, were not,</v>

244
00:09:15.855 --> 00:09:19.565
<v Speaker 3>Again, I'll cut that, but</v>
<v Speaker 1>Just bleep it out.</v>

245
00:09:20.145 --> 00:09:22.245
Uh, yeah, we do because he showed up.

246
00:09:22.785 --> 00:09:24.045
So if you wanna talk,

247
00:09:24.045 --> 00:09:27.525
just if you wanna talk somebody into not coming, um, oh God.

248
00:09:27.525 --> 00:09:30.685
That would be on you. Um, but yes, I'm excited.

249
00:09:31.345 --> 00:09:33.885
Um, next year we already have great ideas.

250
00:09:33.915 --> 00:09:35.805
This one started kind of planning pretty late.

251
00:09:36.065 --> 00:09:38.325
And I will say that the only person

252
00:09:38.325 --> 00:09:40.565
that has worse FOMO than you was Scott McLaughlin,

253
00:09:40.665 --> 00:09:42.445
who really wanted to be there as a big golfer.

254
00:09:43.065 --> 00:09:44.125
Um, but he was

255
00:09:44.325 --> 00:09:45.845
<v Speaker 3>Becoming a US</v>
<v Speaker 1>Citizen, texting us</v>

256
00:09:45.845 --> 00:09:46.885
a lot, but the thing, yeah.

257
00:09:47.145 --> 00:09:48.325
And he also had like an appearance

258
00:09:48.325 --> 00:09:51.525
and he had sort, he had stuff going on, but, uh, yeah.

259
00:09:51.945 --> 00:09:54.205
Um, Alex, how did you play? As

260
00:09:54.205 --> 00:09:56.245
<v Speaker 2>Long as I wasn't on a tee box pretty well. Yeah,</v>

261
00:09:56.245 --> 00:09:57.245
<v Speaker 1>Dude, that's hard.</v>

262
00:09:57.325 --> 00:09:59.405
I don't know how to do that very well.

263
00:10:00.005 --> 00:10:01.485
<v Speaker 2>I still don't. I still don't. Yeah.</v>

264
00:10:01.485 --> 00:10:04.045
Like I've, I, I've gotten to the point where I can, like,

265
00:10:04.045 --> 00:10:05.485
before I couldn't even hit, I,

266
00:10:05.605 --> 00:10:07.485
I could not hit the ball with the dryer.

267
00:10:07.485 --> 00:10:09.245
It would go three feet. Yeah.

268
00:10:09.245 --> 00:10:10.485
Now I can hit the out of it,

269
00:10:10.485 --> 00:10:11.885
but I cannot control where it goes.

270
00:10:12.095 --> 00:10:15.125
Right. I, at all, it's really, really bad.

271
00:10:15.385 --> 00:10:20.245
Um, anything 170 yards in. All

272
00:10:20.245 --> 00:10:21.245
<v Speaker 1>Right.</v>

273
00:10:21.245 --> 00:10:21.445
Yeah, dude, seven iron.

274
00:10:21.925 --> 00:10:26.605
I can play seven iron from a buck 20 to a buck 70.

275
00:10:27.145 --> 00:10:28.685
That's just my club for that range.

276
00:10:28.745 --> 00:10:30.525
And I can get it roughly where I need to go

277
00:10:30.585 --> 00:10:33.885
and hit it pretty straight outside of that, I, I can, like,

278
00:10:34.065 --> 00:10:37.365
I'm, I'm good at chipping and I'm good at a seven iron.

279
00:10:37.795 --> 00:10:40.765
It's about my, it's about my, my maximum right now,

280
00:10:41.095 --> 00:10:43.445
which is not great for, for golf. I

281
00:10:43.445 --> 00:10:45.525
<v Speaker 2>Mean, I'm, yeah, I'm right there with you.</v>

282
00:10:45.755 --> 00:10:50.085
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I did, uh, I did  Jake. I did break some.</v>

283
00:10:50.105 --> 00:10:51.605
So one of the things I don't like about golf

284
00:10:51.825 --> 00:10:54.565
and there's many, is like all the rules and the etiquette

285
00:10:54.565 --> 00:10:55.405
and I always feel like I'm doing

286
00:10:55.405 --> 00:10:56.685
something wrong on the golf course.

287
00:10:56.685 --> 00:10:58.405
Right. And one of 'em is obviously you don't talk

288
00:10:58.405 --> 00:11:00.085
during somebody's the game. What's that?

289
00:11:00.505 --> 00:11:02.005
<v Speaker 3>So like the game, like the rules</v>

290
00:11:02.145 --> 00:11:03.445
and the etiquette, the game,

291
00:11:03.505 --> 00:11:05.645
<v Speaker 1>The etiquette, like the rules of the game is one thing,</v>

292
00:11:05.645 --> 00:11:08.245
but like the, and like in the country clubs you have

293
00:11:08.245 --> 00:11:10.645
to have tucked in shirts and colored things

294
00:11:10.745 --> 00:11:12.565
and you know, wing tip shoes

295
00:11:12.565 --> 00:11:14.005
and I don't know, there's all sorts of dumb rules.

296
00:11:14.345 --> 00:11:18.405
Anyway, talking on someone's backswing is a big no-no.

297
00:11:18.625 --> 00:11:21.005
So as I was driving by the very first tee box

298
00:11:21.065 --> 00:11:23.045
and Alex was teeing up right in the middle

299
00:11:23.285 --> 00:11:25.965
of the back s swing, just screamed four as loud as I could.

300
00:11:26.145 --> 00:11:29.405
And man, that ball did not go far, . It was great.

301
00:11:29.505 --> 00:11:31.645
It was so good. It was so good. Bobby and I,

302
00:11:31.985 --> 00:11:33.965
<v Speaker 3>And look, Alex looks over it. He looks fine.</v>

303
00:11:34.835 --> 00:11:36.765
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, he definitely, definitely seems like,</v>

304
00:11:36.775 --> 00:11:38.165
definitely seems like he's over it.

305
00:11:38.625 --> 00:11:42.165
Um, so, so one of the, one

306
00:11:42.285 --> 00:11:44.045
of the guys on my team was Rob Wickens.

307
00:11:44.665 --> 00:11:48.965
And, uh, article, uh, we tracked down the only, um,

308
00:11:49.955 --> 00:11:54.405
like cart for paraplegics in, uh, Indiana, I think.

309
00:11:54.545 --> 00:11:56.765
And had it dropped off and like,

310
00:11:56.825 --> 00:11:58.885
I'd seen Robbie play on these things online or whatever.

311
00:11:59.475 --> 00:12:01.005
Dude, it's, it's super cool.

312
00:12:01.195 --> 00:12:03.445
Like, like I've seen him do it on Instagram,

313
00:12:03.505 --> 00:12:05.365
but like he's like, he can,

314
00:12:05.705 --> 00:12:07.285
he can whack the ball pretty good.

315
00:12:07.285 --> 00:12:09.165
Like it's pretty impressive how to do it.

316
00:12:09.425 --> 00:12:10.605
And he has to do it left-handed,

317
00:12:10.895 --> 00:12:12.965
which he was not left-handed before.

318
00:12:12.965 --> 00:12:15.645
He's not naturally a left-handed guy. And it was very cool.

319
00:12:15.745 --> 00:12:19.165
So props to Zionsville Golf course who lent us, uh, his, uh,

320
00:12:19.235 --> 00:12:21.045
cart because that was awesome

321
00:12:21.185 --> 00:12:22.365
and that he got to come and play.

322
00:12:23.185 --> 00:12:26.045
Um, the trophies were pretty badass.

323
00:12:26.045 --> 00:12:27.725
You didn't stay for the trophy part, you had to go.

324
00:12:28.565 --> 00:12:29.725
<v Speaker 2>I did have to go, yes.</v>

325
00:12:29.835 --> 00:12:34.605
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Um, the, the custom bourbon bottles with</v>

326
00:12:35.505 --> 00:12:36.725
the tournament logo

327
00:12:36.905 --> 00:12:39.565
and then all gas, no breaks written on the side

328
00:12:39.565 --> 00:12:41.405
and etched into the bottle was pretty fun.

329
00:12:41.585 --> 00:12:44.565
Mm-hmm . And then the, uh, the trophies that were made by

330
00:12:45.105 --> 00:12:48.125
Tom from Cold Hard Art, who is friend of the show,

331
00:12:48.785 --> 00:12:50.325
um, were awesome.

332
00:12:50.385 --> 00:12:52.165
And he did those like super short time.

333
00:12:52.265 --> 00:12:53.685
So that was greatly appreciated. Yeah.

334
00:12:53.685 --> 00:12:54.685
Look, it was a great event, man.

335
00:12:54.685 --> 00:12:56.565
And we raised a bunch of money and I'm really excited.

336
00:12:57.105 --> 00:13:00.685
Um, so yeah, can't wait

337
00:13:00.685 --> 00:13:02.125
to do it again next year.

338
00:13:02.125 --> 00:13:04.685
Hopefully in better weather, hopefully on a weekend

339
00:13:04.825 --> 00:13:09.085
or a weekday that doesn't clash so closely to a race weekend

340
00:13:09.225 --> 00:13:11.765
and we don't have to deal with that stuff.

341
00:13:12.825 --> 00:13:13.825
Got it,

342
00:13:14.265 --> 00:13:15.265
<v Speaker 2>Got it.</v>

343
00:13:15.265 --> 00:13:17.765
Good. All right. Um, well done, James. Last week.

344
00:13:18.715 --> 00:13:21.925
Cars were on track at IMS, which is, uh,

345
00:13:22.565 --> 00:13:26.605
a very welcome site and sound, I think for everyone.

346
00:13:26.785 --> 00:13:28.965
Uh, so we talked last week about how

347
00:13:29.945 --> 00:13:32.005
it was gonna be a pretty unique test

348
00:13:32.075 --> 00:13:35.925
because for the first time, like ever outside of Fast Friday

349
00:13:36.305 --> 00:13:39.285
and very specific manufacture tests, we were getting

350
00:13:39.985 --> 00:13:43.725
the qualifying boost, um, before the month of May.

351
00:13:43.865 --> 00:13:47.045
So kind of getting somewhat of a preview of, of what's

352
00:13:47.045 --> 00:13:49.005
to come along with another day

353
00:13:49.005 --> 00:13:53.725
and a half of testing, which has your normal kind

354
00:13:53.725 --> 00:13:56.605
of guys, you know, starting off trying to do some, you know,

355
00:13:56.925 --> 00:13:59.045
SS single car stuff to, to try

356
00:13:59.045 --> 00:14:03.625
and get a understanding of what this their current car

357
00:14:03.625 --> 00:14:05.225
for the year is gonna do by itself.

358
00:14:05.405 --> 00:14:07.025
And, you know, building the confidence

359
00:14:07.025 --> 00:14:08.105
to start getting into groups.

360
00:14:08.205 --> 00:14:09.625
And the groups start very small

361
00:14:09.765 --> 00:14:11.025
and then by the end

362
00:14:11.025 --> 00:14:13.265
of day two it's like a mini practice race

363
00:14:13.365 --> 00:14:14.385
and, and that sort of thing.

364
00:14:14.485 --> 00:14:17.305
So, um, I, I wanna first start off

365
00:14:17.325 --> 00:14:20.185
by saying I was pleasantly surprised with the speeds.

366
00:14:20.445 --> 00:14:24.745
Um, I was really expecting the cars

367
00:14:24.885 --> 00:14:28.385
to be a good chunk slower, um, with the hybrid, not

368
00:14:28.385 --> 00:14:29.785
because of the weight, um, just

369
00:14:29.785 --> 00:14:31.865
because of the, the parasitic drag

370
00:14:32.015 --> 00:14:33.505
that exists in the gearbox.

371
00:14:33.785 --> 00:14:36.145
'cause the power is having to go through another

372
00:14:36.695 --> 00:14:38.225
essentially input shaft

373
00:14:38.365 --> 00:14:41.225
and, you know, it's, it's more moving parts

374
00:14:41.335 --> 00:14:44.905
that is pulling power from the crankshaft to the wheels.

375
00:14:45.165 --> 00:14:49.665
And that being said, um, the, the fastest no

376
00:14:49.665 --> 00:14:53.045
to speed of, of the, the two days was Kuma

377
00:14:53.045 --> 00:14:54.485
and it was a 2 3, 2 7.

378
00:14:55.225 --> 00:14:57.805
Um, which I'm sure that wasn't even all of the juice

379
00:14:57.865 --> 00:15:00.925
and everything that either Raha had or Honda had.

380
00:15:01.065 --> 00:15:03.125
So I think it's gonna be just as quick dude,

381
00:15:03.125 --> 00:15:05.925
<v Speaker 1>It's not  like, dear God, it's like a real shame</v>

382
00:15:05.925 --> 00:15:07.005
that he bought that thing up

383
00:15:07.005 --> 00:15:09.925
because that is an insanely fast no to time.

384
00:15:10.505 --> 00:15:13.125
Yes. For, I mean, that was like, it wasn't a,

385
00:15:13.125 --> 00:15:14.725
it wasn't a four lap run

386
00:15:14.745 --> 00:15:16.805
or anything, so I don't think what the fall off would've

387
00:15:16.805 --> 00:15:20.165
been, but like, God, that's a big lap for that, that stage.

388
00:15:21.105 --> 00:15:23.565
Um, okay, so pleasantly surprise, the speeds.

389
00:15:23.835 --> 00:15:25.325
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. To, to everyone.</v>

390
00:15:25.505 --> 00:15:28.685
Um, the, the balance

391
00:15:28.745 --> 00:15:31.365
and the feel of the car is a different conversation is kind

392
00:15:31.365 --> 00:15:33.005
of exactly what we all expected,

393
00:15:33.145 --> 00:15:34.965
but in terms of the actual just pure speed,

394
00:15:34.965 --> 00:15:37.845
which is very important in my mind for the fan experience

395
00:15:38.185 --> 00:15:39.925
and for the people that aren't qualifying weekend,

396
00:15:40.425 --> 00:15:43.445
you do not expect anything less than potentially still,

397
00:15:43.905 --> 00:15:48.315
you know, being the fastest field in Indy 500 history.

398
00:15:48.335 --> 00:15:49.355
So that's really, really cool.

399
00:15:49.545 --> 00:15:50.955
<v Speaker 1>Talking about the, so, you know,</v>

400
00:15:50.955 --> 00:15:52.915
talking about the race side, um, you know,

401
00:15:52.915 --> 00:15:56.315
we obviously had some conversations about the, the concerns

402
00:15:56.315 --> 00:15:59.115
of the extra weight and whatever in race trim.

403
00:15:59.815 --> 00:16:04.745
Um, we had a very fortuitous two days in

404
00:16:04.745 --> 00:16:09.305
that it, it was probably the most representative, uh,

405
00:16:09.435 --> 00:16:11.145
conditions that we've seen

406
00:16:12.805 --> 00:16:15.425
at the open test maybe ever, in terms of

407
00:16:15.575 --> 00:16:16.585
what it's gonna be like

408
00:16:16.925 --> 00:16:19.145
or what it usually is like during practice week

409
00:16:19.245 --> 00:16:21.105
before, uh, qualifying weekend.

410
00:16:21.805 --> 00:16:26.345
So given that it wasn't like super, you know, cool

411
00:16:26.455 --> 00:16:27.985
with nice cool track temps

412
00:16:27.985 --> 00:16:31.345
and whatever, I thought the racing quote unquote,

413
00:16:31.375 --> 00:16:35.225
when guys were kind of mixing it up in a group didn't look

414
00:16:35.965 --> 00:16:40.105
too dissimilar from what we've seen the last, you know,

415
00:16:40.105 --> 00:16:41.465
basically since the arrow screen.

416
00:16:42.005 --> 00:16:46.065
So from your seat, how different was it

417
00:16:47.575 --> 00:16:51.115
in traffic when you're, it looked like, you know, first

418
00:16:51.135 --> 00:16:54.715
and second could still swap from third back.

419
00:16:54.815 --> 00:16:56.275
It was harder and you know,

420
00:16:56.275 --> 00:16:58.395
from fifth back it was impossible, but that's not new.

421
00:16:58.615 --> 00:17:02.795
So in that scenario, how different was it

422
00:17:03.555 --> 00:17:04.795
compared to the last couple years

423
00:17:05.215 --> 00:17:06.215
<v Speaker 2>On paper?</v>

424
00:17:06.215 --> 00:17:09.835
What you're saying, uh, is no different, um,

425
00:17:11.825 --> 00:17:14.275
what you're having to do when, when was the last time,

426
00:17:14.475 --> 00:17:19.115
I know this was both during Qims, so take it with a grain

427
00:17:19.115 --> 00:17:22.155
of salt, but when was the last time in a test you saw two

428
00:17:22.155 --> 00:17:24.875
cars write, write themselves off?

429
00:17:26.495 --> 00:17:28.235
<v Speaker 1>Um, yeah, it's been a minute, right?</v>

430
00:17:28.235 --> 00:17:30.155
It's been like the manufacture Kid air

431
00:17:30.155 --> 00:17:31.555
was probably the last time I saw that. Right.

432
00:17:31.705 --> 00:17:32.915
<v Speaker 2>Long time. Um,</v>

433
00:17:33.095 --> 00:17:37.195
and the reason for that is what you're having to do now

434
00:17:38.145 --> 00:17:40.315
because again, the, the biggest

435
00:17:41.185 --> 00:17:43.155
ever since the arrow screen you, you nailed it.

436
00:17:43.415 --> 00:17:47.155
Um, the, the car

437
00:17:47.415 --> 00:17:50.485
and the components that exist in the Speedway configuration,

438
00:17:50.725 --> 00:17:54.565
IE the front wing, the Speedway Tire, um,

439
00:17:54.845 --> 00:17:59.405
a couple other things are overloaded and overworked

440
00:17:59.665 --> 00:18:01.885
and they are not robust enough

441
00:18:01.985 --> 00:18:03.805
to handle the amount of weight that is on the car.

442
00:18:04.005 --> 00:18:06.885
I, I don't care about location at this point.

443
00:18:07.205 --> 00:18:10.285
I don't care about CAG, I don't care about anything.

444
00:18:10.345 --> 00:18:12.405
All I care about is just pure mass.

445
00:18:13.585 --> 00:18:17.845
Um, and as you know, James, like the, the,

446
00:18:18.625 --> 00:18:21.605
the changes in the way that you had to approach the setup

447
00:18:22.705 --> 00:18:24.805
was all towards kind

448
00:18:24.805 --> 00:18:27.245
of reducing this exit under steering traffic

449
00:18:27.425 --> 00:18:29.805
and just the only reason you couldn't run close was

450
00:18:29.965 --> 00:18:31.565
'cause just the front would give up

451
00:18:31.585 --> 00:18:33.125
and there was just nothing you could do.

452
00:18:33.125 --> 00:18:34.845
Like, you'd feel fine and you'd have the run

453
00:18:34.845 --> 00:18:36.725
and then the front would just take off up the track.

454
00:18:36.725 --> 00:18:37.925
You have to lift not the crash.

455
00:18:38.755 --> 00:18:41.845
Well, as the years have progressed with the Arrow screen,

456
00:18:42.155 --> 00:18:45.205
like teams have, like, you just are accepting

457
00:18:45.205 --> 00:18:47.645
that you just have to get more and more and more aggressive

458
00:18:47.645 --> 00:18:48.685
and way more free

459
00:18:48.825 --> 00:18:52.005
and neutral to just be able to have a chance to be close

460
00:18:52.005 --> 00:18:53.565
to the cars in front of you.

461
00:18:54.585 --> 00:18:58.845
So 2025 hybrid, I don't care where it's placed, I don't care

462
00:18:58.845 --> 00:19:00.365
what it's doing to the weight distribution,

463
00:19:00.425 --> 00:19:05.085
it is just more weight on the car, which these components,

464
00:19:05.135 --> 00:19:08.405
which have been unchanged, can't tolerate.

465
00:19:09.225 --> 00:19:12.525
So the only way around it is you just have to get

466
00:19:13.025 --> 00:19:16.085
so aggressive with how you're setting the car up.

467
00:19:16.505 --> 00:19:20.605
And it's, it's just, it's a, it's, it's a piece of like,

468
00:19:20.605 --> 00:19:22.245
it doesn't feel nice to drive anymore.

469
00:19:22.355 --> 00:19:27.245
It's a handful. Like I, my, I had some

470
00:19:27.245 --> 00:19:29.325
of the best teachers ever when I came over

471
00:19:29.325 --> 00:19:32.725
to IndyCar in 2016 from an oval standpoint,

472
00:19:32.745 --> 00:19:35.525
and that was Brian Herda, Michael Andretti, Ryan Hunter,

473
00:19:35.545 --> 00:19:37.965
Ray, Marco, Carlos Munoz, like guys

474
00:19:37.965 --> 00:19:39.965
that were hooked up, right?

475
00:19:41.025 --> 00:19:44.805
And everything that they taught me in the beginning was,

476
00:19:46.505 --> 00:19:48.845
you know, when the rear of the car starts to move,

477
00:19:48.915 --> 00:19:51.925
when you start to have moments like you need to pit

478
00:19:51.945 --> 00:19:54.285
and change something because you'll always catch it once.

479
00:19:54.315 --> 00:19:56.085
It's the second, it's the second catch

480
00:19:56.085 --> 00:19:57.285
you're not gonna get Right.

481
00:19:58.385 --> 00:20:02.685
And has stuck with me forever on all ovals, not just indie

482
00:20:02.705 --> 00:20:05.245
and like, it's benefited me pretty well,

483
00:20:05.365 --> 00:20:06.885
I think throughout my oval career.

484
00:20:07.785 --> 00:20:08.965
Now that doesn't exist.

485
00:20:09.195 --> 00:20:11.485
Like you have to just drive through snaps. Yeah.

486
00:20:11.485 --> 00:20:13.685
And you just have to drive through a super neutral,

487
00:20:14.035 --> 00:20:16.125
like weird feeling in the middle of the corner

488
00:20:16.865 --> 00:20:18.045
and just live with it.

489
00:20:18.105 --> 00:20:21.405
And that's, it's, um, it's not enjoyable.

490
00:20:21.835 --> 00:20:24.525
It's like you're tense, it's frustrating.

491
00:20:24.785 --> 00:20:26.925
Um, but that's the only way that you're gonna follow cars.

492
00:20:27.065 --> 00:20:30.365
So to answer your question, no, but the guys behind and,

493
00:20:30.365 --> 00:20:33.405
and this is what sucks about motorsports, the effort

494
00:20:33.425 --> 00:20:36.165
that's being expended already in April, just

495
00:20:36.165 --> 00:20:38.445
to do practice group running is already at a level

496
00:20:38.445 --> 00:20:41.085
that I feel like you were at in the race last year.

497
00:20:41.355 --> 00:20:43.365
Like, you're just having to try so hard

498
00:20:43.945 --> 00:20:46.245
and take chances to get a run on someone

499
00:20:46.265 --> 00:20:49.085
and to stay in, in touch with someone that, you know,

500
00:20:49.745 --> 00:20:51.525
you were doing in a race situation last year

501
00:20:51.525 --> 00:20:52.805
and you're doing in April this year.

502
00:20:52.905 --> 00:20:55.045
So I think the race is gonna be intense.

503
00:20:55.155 --> 00:20:56.205
It's gonna be, there's gonna

504
00:20:56.205 --> 00:20:57.285
be a lot of mistakes that happen.

505
00:20:57.505 --> 00:20:59.165
Um, but yeah, the only way

506
00:20:59.165 --> 00:21:02.205
that you're gonna survive 2, 3, 4 cars back is just to

507
00:21:04.235 --> 00:21:06.765
pull yourself up by your bootstraps and hold on, and,

508
00:21:06.785 --> 00:21:08.525
and just suffer through it.

509
00:21:09.075 --> 00:21:10.075
Make it work.

510
00:21:13.515 --> 00:21:14.525
<v Speaker 3>Dumb question on that.</v>

511
00:21:15.065 --> 00:21:18.325
Um, if, if, if it's that much harder

512
00:21:18.325 --> 00:21:20.085
to just stay in the toe, does that mean there's gonna be

513
00:21:20.085 --> 00:21:23.485
like more discrepancy between the talent of drivers

514
00:21:23.745 --> 00:21:25.165
and make things more racy?

515
00:21:25.165 --> 00:21:27.045
Or is that just gonna make it that much harder to pass

516
00:21:27.105 --> 00:21:28.365
and make it more of a possession?

517
00:21:28.745 --> 00:21:30.525
<v Speaker 2>No, because everyone is good at this point.</v>

518
00:21:30.825 --> 00:21:34.285
So it's not like the talent separation is not,

519
00:21:34.465 --> 00:21:36.445
and like what you're gonna see is it's the same

520
00:21:36.445 --> 00:21:37.685
that we've had the past couple years.

521
00:21:37.785 --> 00:21:39.445
If a guy makes a mistake, you'll get a run.

522
00:21:39.465 --> 00:21:41.805
So it's gonna be who makes the least amount of mistakes

523
00:21:42.385 --> 00:21:44.645
and who has played the chess game, right?

524
00:21:44.705 --> 00:21:49.315
To be in the top two, two cars in the last eight laps.

525
00:21:49.315 --> 00:21:50.995
Like that's really all it comes down to.

526
00:21:51.335 --> 00:21:54.795
Um, so no, I don't think that it's gonna

527
00:21:55.305 --> 00:21:57.755
make a separation any bigger than what we've seen.

528
00:21:58.505 --> 00:22:02.595
<v Speaker 1>It's funny, I I was rewatching last year's race a couple</v>

529
00:22:02.595 --> 00:22:03.955
weeks ago, a month ago, whatever it was.

530
00:22:04.775 --> 00:22:07.635
And what you're describing,

531
00:22:08.075 --> 00:22:13.035
I think is beautifully kind of personified in, uh,

532
00:22:13.595 --> 00:22:15.795
a beautifully captured with paddles onboard

533
00:22:16.215 --> 00:22:18.755
of the last like 15, 20 laps.

534
00:22:19.055 --> 00:22:22.835
Mm. He was just having to drive that thing like

535
00:22:23.015 --> 00:22:24.035
so on the right rear

536
00:22:24.575 --> 00:22:27.075
and was just catching it four times a lap

537
00:22:27.135 --> 00:22:28.275
for the last 10 laps.

538
00:22:28.575 --> 00:22:33.235
And it looked awful. It looked, it's, it looked so unfun.

539
00:22:33.665 --> 00:22:36.075
Like you say, 10 tense is the best way to describe it

540
00:22:36.415 --> 00:22:39.835
to somebody because when your car's doing that, right,

541
00:22:40.495 --> 00:22:42.635
if your car's handling well, you're,

542
00:22:42.635 --> 00:22:43.875
you're turning into the corner.

543
00:22:44.175 --> 00:22:45.955
You, you've got confidence in the rear, right?

544
00:22:45.955 --> 00:22:49.395
As soon as it loads up the front's responsive, you're,

545
00:22:49.395 --> 00:22:51.835
you're, you're making, you know, minute corrections

546
00:22:51.835 --> 00:22:53.355
and adjustments the whole way through the corner.

547
00:22:53.735 --> 00:22:55.435
You're unwinding the wheel

548
00:22:55.455 --> 00:22:57.235
and driving the car off to the wall

549
00:22:57.495 --> 00:23:01.755
and everything feels very in control when it's doing that.

550
00:23:02.185 --> 00:23:05.435
Your grip on the wheel just gets so tight

551
00:23:06.135 --> 00:23:09.035
and you are like, you're hesitant with every move you do,

552
00:23:09.035 --> 00:23:10.355
you're almost fighting yourself.

553
00:23:10.455 --> 00:23:11.835
If you put a little more lock in,

554
00:23:11.835 --> 00:23:13.755
it's like you're left hand's almost like how much though?

555
00:23:13.755 --> 00:23:15.995
Like, let's not, you're pushing up with the right,

556
00:23:15.995 --> 00:23:17.755
but you're also kind of pushing up with the left

557
00:23:18.215 --> 00:23:20.435
and you're just waiting till you're at the wall to try

558
00:23:20.435 --> 00:23:23.315
to let yourself let your hands go and, and,

559
00:23:23.415 --> 00:23:24.715
and catch your breath and relax.

560
00:23:24.895 --> 00:23:28.515
And it is exhausting when you're doing that for, you know,

561
00:23:28.515 --> 00:23:30.635
over a hundred laps in a, in a place like this.

562
00:23:31.215 --> 00:23:35.595
Um, the, the thing I was really wondering was,

563
00:23:35.995 --> 00:23:39.195
I know we kind of talked about hybrid strategy

564
00:23:39.295 --> 00:23:40.435
for qualifying runs,

565
00:23:41.015 --> 00:23:45.765
but how did you know, how did you find the hybrid

566
00:23:45.985 --> 00:23:48.965
as a tool to use in traffic? Was it it

567
00:23:48.965 --> 00:23:50.525
<v Speaker 2>Isn't on,</v>
<v Speaker 1>It's not, it's, it's</v>

568
00:23:50.525 --> 00:23:51.645
<v Speaker 2>Not a tool,</v>
<v Speaker 1>It's just not Okay.</v>

569
00:23:51.765 --> 00:23:56.685
<v Speaker 2>I I, I, most, the majority of the passes that I completed,</v>

570
00:23:56.885 --> 00:23:58.765
I was passing cars while Ning,

571
00:23:59.445 --> 00:24:03.815
because the goal is, so you use the hybrid to like

572
00:24:04.405 --> 00:24:07.415
help finish the little last bit of suck up.

573
00:24:07.595 --> 00:24:10.255
And you have, you have the run already with the toe

574
00:24:10.595 --> 00:24:13.655
and you pop out and the run is so big with the toe anyways

575
00:24:13.655 --> 00:24:17.935
that you can regen because you're trying, it's, it's futile.

576
00:24:17.955 --> 00:24:19.775
But you're trying to do something to make sure

577
00:24:19.775 --> 00:24:22.295
that on the exit of two you have something.

578
00:24:23.225 --> 00:24:25.495
<v Speaker 1>Right. Right. But so but only,</v>

579
00:24:25.515 --> 00:24:28.255
but you're saying that you are using it to help that run

580
00:24:28.355 --> 00:24:29.815
and then once you pop out you've got

581
00:24:29.815 --> 00:24:30.855
enough momentum you can reach it.

582
00:24:31.195 --> 00:24:32.575
<v Speaker 2>No, you're using, you can,</v>

583
00:24:32.995 --> 00:24:34.335
you would get the run either way.

584
00:24:34.475 --> 00:24:36.935
The run's coming not because the hybrid is being deployed.

585
00:24:39.025 --> 00:24:40.025
<v Speaker 1>It's</v>
<v Speaker 2>Not,</v>

586
00:24:40.025 --> 00:24:41.515
<v Speaker 1>But, but, but surely the run's better</v>

587
00:24:41.665 --> 00:24:43.115
because you're deploying the hybrid.

588
00:24:43.825 --> 00:24:46.355
Like it's four seconds of 50 horsepower,

589
00:24:46.365 --> 00:24:47.515
60 horsepower, whatever.

590
00:24:47.515 --> 00:24:50.355
It's surely that's better than just a good runoff of

591
00:24:50.425 --> 00:24:51.425
<v Speaker 2>Four.</v>

592
00:24:51.425 --> 00:24:51.715
The cars also using

593
00:24:53.525 --> 00:24:54.525
<v Speaker 1>Great point.</v>

594
00:24:54.585 --> 00:24:56.555
<v Speaker 2>Like it's no, it's not, it's not</v>

595
00:24:57.545 --> 00:24:58.545
<v Speaker 1>Okay.</v>

596
00:24:58.545 --> 00:25:00.475
But if you catch a guy, let's say the guy used it

597
00:25:02.855 --> 00:25:03.995
on the back straight,

598
00:25:04.905 --> 00:25:06.275
<v Speaker 2>They would have it by four.</v>

599
00:25:06.705 --> 00:25:07.995
<v Speaker 1>They would just regen by four.</v>

600
00:25:08.185 --> 00:25:10.115
<v Speaker 2>Well no, they would just regen themselves.</v>

601
00:25:10.145 --> 00:25:11.475
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. But like you can, that's like,</v>

602
00:25:11.475 --> 00:25:13.595
you can get it done that quickly, right? Like if you're

603
00:25:13.595 --> 00:25:14.595
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah.</v>

604
00:25:14.595 --> 00:25:18.075
You can go from zero to full from entry of one

605
00:25:18.095 --> 00:25:19.755
to the short shoot between.

606
00:25:19.755 --> 00:25:21.035
Yeah. I mean it's a corner.

607
00:25:21.905 --> 00:25:23.395
<v Speaker 3>Well I think this is good though</v>

608
00:25:23.495 --> 00:25:24.515
to talk about the testing.

609
00:25:24.835 --> 00:25:26.715
'cause this will come out on the first day of May.

610
00:25:27.055 --> 00:25:31.195
But before we go too far, there is racing this weekend too.

611
00:25:31.715 --> 00:25:32.835
I feel like we should maybe there

612
00:25:32.835 --> 00:25:33.835
<v Speaker 2>Cover that one.</v>

613
00:25:33.835 --> 00:25:37.675
There's one thing I wanted to say. Also, don't end our,

614
00:25:37.785 --> 00:25:41.795
it's may Tim don't end our Indy 500 chat.

615
00:25:41.795 --> 00:25:45.715
Yeah. For before talk Barbara for 20 minutes. Like can we,

616
00:25:46.035 --> 00:25:47.035
<v Speaker 1>I have 20 minutes left.</v>

617
00:25:47.625 --> 00:25:48.715
<v Speaker 3>Okay. Two things.</v>

618
00:25:49.315 --> 00:25:51.275
I was just trying to save people from having to listen

619
00:25:51.275 --> 00:25:54.715
to more really in-depth conversation on the hybrid and regen

620
00:25:54.735 --> 00:25:57.715
and if it's gonna help at the indie lab or not and all that.

621
00:25:57.855 --> 00:25:58.995
And two, I wasn't talking about

622
00:25:58.995 --> 00:26:00.315
Barbara, I was talking about my race.

623
00:26:00.865 --> 00:26:03.395
<v Speaker 1>What race?</v>
<v Speaker 3>Doing the half marathon on Saturday.</v>

624
00:26:03.455 --> 00:26:06.355
<v Speaker 1>What's that?</v>
<v Speaker 3>Fair enough. All right. Back to Indy.</v>

625
00:26:06.585 --> 00:26:09.355
<v Speaker 1>Good. So you were, you were saying Alex,</v>

626
00:26:09.915 --> 00:26:12.035
<v Speaker 2>I was saying, uh, I was gonna say something</v>

627
00:26:12.055 --> 00:26:14.635
and then Tim was such a, um,

628
00:26:15.745 --> 00:26:17.715
<v Speaker 1>Okay, you keep thinking</v>
<v Speaker 3>I learned it from watching</v>

629
00:26:17.715 --> 00:26:18.715
you
<v Speaker 1>.</v>

630
00:26:18.935 --> 00:26:20.995
You keep thinking on that in the meantime,

631
00:26:21.005 --> 00:26:22.355
while you're figuring that out.

632
00:26:22.855 --> 00:26:25.955
Tim, how's your half marathon training coming in? Oh

633
00:26:25.955 --> 00:26:26.995
<v Speaker 3>No, I, I didn't actually wanna</v>

634
00:26:26.995 --> 00:26:28.155
talk about it. I was talking about Barbara.

635
00:26:28.225 --> 00:26:30.715
<v Speaker 1>Well, no, no. Now I, now I wanna know. I'm</v>

636
00:26:30.715 --> 00:26:31.715
<v Speaker 3>Still really slow. You</v>

637
00:26:31.715 --> 00:26:33.435
<v Speaker 1>Did a 12 mile run the other day.</v>

638
00:26:33.745 --> 00:26:35.795
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was terrible.</v>
<v Speaker 1>That's almost,</v>

639
00:26:35.855 --> 00:26:37.035
you should have just kept going

640
00:26:37.095 --> 00:26:39.195
for another 1.1 miles then be like,

641
00:26:39.255 --> 00:26:40.435
now I don't have to do the mini,

642
00:26:40.815 --> 00:26:41.955
<v Speaker 3>The 12 about did me in.</v>

643
00:26:42.115 --> 00:26:44.805
'cause uh, we don't have have humidity out here in

644
00:26:44.945 --> 00:26:46.645
LA or not much of it.

645
00:26:46.825 --> 00:26:49.525
And I did that 12 miles back in Indianapolis when it was

646
00:26:49.525 --> 00:26:51.645
like 86% humidity. Didn't

647
00:26:51.645 --> 00:26:52.645
<v Speaker 1>You do it in the rain?</v>

648
00:26:52.645 --> 00:26:54.285
<v Speaker 3>Rain thought it was gonna die. It was also a little rainy</v>

649
00:26:54.285 --> 00:26:55.525
at first, but then the rain died.

650
00:26:55.545 --> 00:26:56.325
<v Speaker 1>But was that just sweat</v>

651
00:26:56.355 --> 00:26:57.485
when you sent that photo afterwards?

652
00:26:57.545 --> 00:26:59.405
<v Speaker 3>It was a good amount of sweat. A lot of</v>

653
00:26:59.405 --> 00:27:00.485
that was sweat. It looked

654
00:27:00.485 --> 00:27:01.725
<v Speaker 1>Like you'd been through a hurricane.</v>

655
00:27:02.025 --> 00:27:03.485
<v Speaker 2>So how do you, all right tip.</v>

656
00:27:03.545 --> 00:27:06.525
So like how do you, what what, what is your goal here?

657
00:27:07.185 --> 00:27:10.005
<v Speaker 3>Finish.</v>
<v Speaker 2>And you don't have a time?</v>

658
00:27:10.385 --> 00:27:12.725
<v Speaker 3>No.</v>
<v Speaker 1>Do you have like a finish without having</v>

659
00:27:12.725 --> 00:27:14.445
to walk at any time? Kind of goal? Yeah.

660
00:27:14.445 --> 00:27:15.805
<v Speaker 3>No, I'm not gonna walk it.</v>
<v Speaker 1>Okay.</v>

661
00:27:15.905 --> 00:27:17.165
No, not walk it. I'd like,

662
00:27:17.625 --> 00:27:21.385
<v Speaker 3>I'd be happy like 10 to 11 minute miles.</v>

663
00:27:22.365 --> 00:27:24.065
<v Speaker 2>And what do you think, like</v>

664
00:27:24.065 --> 00:27:25.665
what do you like what do you think you'll do?

665
00:27:25.975 --> 00:27:27.745
<v Speaker 3>What do you mean? Oh, what do I actually think?</v>

666
00:27:28.055 --> 00:27:29.665
Prob hopefully closer to 10

667
00:27:29.665 --> 00:27:31.305
and a half minutes than 11 minute miles.

668
00:27:32.445 --> 00:27:33.505
So that that,

669
00:27:33.815 --> 00:27:35.705
<v Speaker 2>What,</v>
<v Speaker 1>What was your pace during your 12 miler?</v>

670
00:27:36.525 --> 00:27:38.345
<v Speaker 3>We don't need to go into that. We</v>

671
00:27:38.345 --> 00:27:39.065
<v Speaker 1>Do. It's important.</v>

672
00:27:39.125 --> 00:27:41.225
<v Speaker 3>It was really slow. It was really slow. How slow?</v>

673
00:27:41.445 --> 00:27:42.585
Uh, I actually, I don't

674
00:27:42.585 --> 00:27:44.265
even remember, but I'm not gonna check. You

675
00:27:44.265 --> 00:27:45.265
<v Speaker 1>Do remember.</v>

676
00:27:45.585 --> 00:27:46.745
<v Speaker 3>I don't, but I'm not gonna check.</v>

677
00:27:47.425 --> 00:27:49.585
<v Speaker 2>I remember, I remember you mentioning it</v>

678
00:27:49.585 --> 00:27:51.145
and it was like in the 12 minute range.

679
00:27:51.605 --> 00:27:53.585
<v Speaker 3>It was, it was pretty slow. It was pretty slow. Yeah.</v>

680
00:27:53.815 --> 00:27:58.425
<v Speaker 2>Okay. That's fine. Um, what is the thing that has</v>

681
00:27:59.175 --> 00:28:03.465
hurt the most during the training for said half marathon?

682
00:28:04.215 --> 00:28:05.945
<v Speaker 3>It's just boring. It just sucks.</v>

683
00:28:05.945 --> 00:28:07.865
Being out there running every step just sucks.

684
00:28:08.565 --> 00:28:10.105
<v Speaker 2>Oh, it's horrible. But like physically,</v>

685
00:28:10.185 --> 00:28:11.825
I haven't had like, shit splint or any,

686
00:28:12.165 --> 00:28:14.345
<v Speaker 3>And my knees started to finally hurt this last weekend,</v>

687
00:28:14.405 --> 00:28:16.065
but I got those like neat things

688
00:28:16.065 --> 00:28:17.705
that wrap up and that seemed to help.

689
00:28:18.945 --> 00:28:20.385
I regret starting this topic. It's a break.

690
00:28:20.585 --> 00:28:22.105
I was joking. I wanted to just talk about

691
00:28:22.105 --> 00:28:23.105
Barber
<v Speaker 2>.</v>

692
00:28:23.375 --> 00:28:24.465
What do you wanna talk about Barber?

693
00:28:25.345 --> 00:28:26.465
<v Speaker 3>I mean, we're going into it.</v>

694
00:28:26.465 --> 00:28:27.905
It's gonna be, you know, any preview.

695
00:28:28.165 --> 00:28:30.305
How are you feeling with a new team going to attract

696
00:28:30.305 --> 00:28:31.305
that you love so much?

697
00:28:31.535 --> 00:28:33.025
Someone gonna, someone said how

698
00:28:33.205 --> 00:28:35.945
of the broadcast is going center around Georgina.

699
00:28:36.165 --> 00:28:37.225
You know, the questions that

700
00:28:37.225 --> 00:28:38.905
too much people wanna know too much. Way too much.

701
00:28:39.005 --> 00:28:40.825
<v Speaker 2>Too much. They're already, they're already like previewing</v>

702
00:28:40.825 --> 00:28:42.025
it every single day.

703
00:28:42.805 --> 00:28:45.385
Um, all right, well here we go guys.

704
00:28:45.565 --> 00:28:49.505
Uh, we're going to Barber, uh, we did test there, uh, two.

705
00:28:50.065 --> 00:28:51.865
I mean how long ago was St. Pete at this point?

706
00:28:52.045 --> 00:28:54.145
Two months ago? Um,

707
00:28:55.925 --> 00:29:00.025
and ECR R'S been strong at Barber historically.

708
00:29:00.405 --> 00:29:03.145
Um, and we were pretty good at the test.

709
00:29:03.525 --> 00:29:07.785
So I feel like none of that matters because it's IndyCar

710
00:29:07.885 --> 00:29:09.265
and it's probably a different tire.

711
00:29:10.005 --> 00:29:13.905
But, uh, yeah, I think that we are, listen,

712
00:29:14.655 --> 00:29:16.425
I've talked about it on the show.

713
00:29:16.765 --> 00:29:18.305
We knew street courses were gonna be hard.

714
00:29:18.365 --> 00:29:20.865
We knew the road courses were gonna be pretty decent for us.

715
00:29:21.195 --> 00:29:22.945
We're very excited about this stretch

716
00:29:22.945 --> 00:29:26.265
of the calendar being Barbara, indie GP and the 500.

717
00:29:26.295 --> 00:29:28.545
Yeah, so this is the first one of three

718
00:29:28.545 --> 00:29:30.305
where we think we can be really good

719
00:29:30.605 --> 00:29:33.065
and it's nice that we have the test, so we're kind

720
00:29:33.065 --> 00:29:35.785
of gonna be able to just get straight down to business

721
00:29:35.845 --> 00:29:37.585
and we've got most of our questions answered.

722
00:29:37.725 --> 00:29:39.145
So that'll be, that'll be nice.

723
00:29:39.545 --> 00:29:41.685
<v Speaker 1>I feel like, I feel like statistically speaking,</v>

724
00:29:41.745 --> 00:29:44.725
the three best tracks for ECR are barber,

725
00:29:45.335 --> 00:29:46.565
indie, GP and the 500.

726
00:29:46.795 --> 00:29:47.965
<v Speaker 2>Without a doubt.</v>
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.</v>

727
00:29:48.105 --> 00:29:51.725
So is it like, awesome to have them all back to back to back

728
00:29:51.725 --> 00:29:53.805
and hopefully just get on a really awesome momentum run?

729
00:29:53.865 --> 00:29:54.965
Or do you kind of wish they were

730
00:29:54.965 --> 00:29:56.005
a little bit more sprinkled?

731
00:29:56.145 --> 00:29:59.285
Not saying that you won't find pace other places, right,

732
00:29:59.345 --> 00:30:00.485
but like knowing

733
00:30:00.515 --> 00:30:03.965
that those three are like your really good odds going

734
00:30:03.965 --> 00:30:04.485
<v Speaker 2>In. Yeah.</v>

735
00:30:05.295 --> 00:30:08.125
<v Speaker 1>Would you rather do a little over the season</v>

736
00:30:08.145 --> 00:30:10.325
or you're just like, bam, let's all, let's hit 'em all

737
00:30:10.325 --> 00:30:11.325
and just try to keep it rolling?

738
00:30:12.445 --> 00:30:14.125
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Hadn't thought about, I don't know.</v>

739
00:30:14.245 --> 00:30:15.365
I hadn't thought about other options.

740
00:30:15.945 --> 00:30:18.645
Um, I'm just gonna, I'm not gonna think about that.

741
00:30:18.785 --> 00:30:20.205
It doesn't matter. I can't control it.

742
00:30:20.265 --> 00:30:22.125
I'm just gonna ride the momentum wave

743
00:30:22.505 --> 00:30:25.365
and let's see how far it can take us, you know?

744
00:30:26.165 --> 00:30:27.885
<v Speaker 1>I love it. Mm-hmm. I love that For you.</v>

745
00:30:28.465 --> 00:30:29.645
Um, does the fact

746
00:30:29.645 --> 00:30:32.645
that you hate Barbara temper the team's expectations

747
00:30:32.745 --> 00:30:33.805
at all going into the

748
00:30:34.555 --> 00:30:35.805
<v Speaker 2>Weekend's? That boost to mean</v>

749
00:30:36.465 --> 00:30:38.045
<v Speaker 1>We just know it's not your favorite place.</v>

750
00:30:38.595 --> 00:30:40.285
<v Speaker 2>I've been on the front row of Barber James.</v>

751
00:30:40.765 --> 00:30:41.925
I I can go fast at Barber.

752
00:30:42.325 --> 00:30:43.485
<v Speaker 1>I didn't say you couldn't go fast.</v>

753
00:30:43.555 --> 00:30:46.125
<v Speaker 2>There's enjoy doing it, but I can do it. I</v>

754
00:30:46.125 --> 00:30:47.205
<v Speaker 1>Didn't say you couldn't do it.</v>

755
00:30:47.385 --> 00:30:49.525
It was purely a, an enjoyment factor.

756
00:30:50.105 --> 00:30:51.725
<v Speaker 2>No, it's funny 'cause like I think I've,</v>

757
00:30:51.805 --> 00:30:53.245
I think I have qualified there.

758
00:30:53.385 --> 00:30:56.725
I'm not, I think this is my qualifying record of Barbara

759
00:30:57.465 --> 00:30:58.805
second eighth

760
00:30:59.185 --> 00:31:03.445
and then like 18th 21st, 21st 23rd,

761
00:31:03.465 --> 00:31:05.645
23rd, 25th, 25th.

762
00:31:06.505 --> 00:31:08.445
So like, yeah, I see what you're saying.

763
00:31:08.705 --> 00:31:11.565
Um, hopefully it's, it's single digits.

764
00:31:11.885 --> 00:31:14.485
'cause like Yeah, that'd be, that'd be nice.

765
00:31:15.075 --> 00:31:17.125
It's easier what it single ditches good.

766
00:31:17.125 --> 00:31:18.245
Unless you willpower

767
00:31:18.425 --> 00:31:22.885
and then you just magically turn 17th place qualifying into

768
00:31:22.885 --> 00:31:24.365
the top fives every weekend, but whatever.

769
00:31:24.865 --> 00:31:28.325
<v Speaker 1>Or, or you just win, which he's done a fair amount there.</v>

770
00:31:28.395 --> 00:31:31.045
Yeah. Um, or you just Scott Dixon

771
00:31:31.045 --> 00:31:33.765
and you just come second, which is also a good day

772
00:31:33.945 --> 00:31:34.965
<v Speaker 2>In perpetuity. Yeah.</v>

773
00:31:35.185 --> 00:31:37.605
<v Speaker 1>Uh, yeah. I wonder if, yeah, I wonder if he can do it.</v>

774
00:31:37.705 --> 00:31:38.885
Um, yeah. Alright.

775
00:31:39.105 --> 00:31:40.485
So have you guys,

776
00:31:40.555 --> 00:31:42.605
have you guys gotten into spring cleaning yet?

777
00:31:42.605 --> 00:31:44.645
Have you, do you do spring cleaning? Is that like a thing?

778
00:31:45.435 --> 00:31:49.885
<v Speaker 2>Well, I cleaned a, uh, squirrel outta my house today.</v>

779
00:31:49.885 --> 00:31:51.565
<v Speaker 1>Another one? Yeah.</v>

780
00:31:53.225 --> 00:31:55.285
Did he chew a water pipe again?

781
00:31:55.705 --> 00:31:58.205
<v Speaker 2>So I think this, Hmm.</v>

782
00:31:58.485 --> 00:32:00.645
I don't really, um, I don't really understand

783
00:32:00.785 --> 00:32:02.125
the situation of this girl.

784
00:32:02.325 --> 00:32:04.325
'cause he didn't come from a wall. He was just in the house.

785
00:32:04.745 --> 00:32:07.725
So I feel like it was more a door.

786
00:32:08.355 --> 00:32:10.645
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Must have been</v>
<v Speaker 2>A door situation. Yeah.</v>

787
00:32:11.185 --> 00:32:15.445
Um, but man, I tell ya, not understanding

788
00:32:15.515 --> 00:32:18.245
what was happening and hearing two dogs

789
00:32:18.915 --> 00:32:20.525
chasing a squirrel inside.

790
00:32:20.875 --> 00:32:22.845
Most comical thing you could ever imagine.

791
00:32:23.475 --> 00:32:26.925
Because for them, best day of their life, this is great.

792
00:32:27.115 --> 00:32:29.125
This is like finally it's inside. Nice

793
00:32:29.185 --> 00:32:30.185
<v Speaker 1>Kid.</v>

794
00:32:30.185 --> 00:32:30.725
Inside right now we have a chance.

795
00:32:30.865 --> 00:32:31.885
<v Speaker 2>You're in our,</v>
<v Speaker 1>You're</v>

796
00:32:31.885 --> 00:32:32.885
<v Speaker 2>In our house now .</v>

797
00:32:35.145 --> 00:32:38.965
And this poor little guy, um, evaded the dogs

798
00:32:39.385 --> 00:32:42.645
and then got into my office into a,

799
00:32:42.645 --> 00:32:44.325
like a media cabinet in one

800
00:32:44.325 --> 00:32:46.645
of the like holes in the back That would be for wires.

801
00:32:46.995 --> 00:32:49.725
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.</v>
<v Speaker 2>And he was just in there</v>

802
00:32:49.985 --> 00:32:52.965
and thankfully Brenner is determined.

803
00:32:53.505 --> 00:32:56.685
Um, and like refound him and then we finally

804
00:32:56.825 --> 00:32:58.165
<v Speaker 1>Oh, like you lost track of him for a</v>

805
00:32:58.165 --> 00:32:59.165
<v Speaker 2>Second?</v>

806
00:32:59.165 --> 00:32:59.325
Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah.

807
00:32:59.355 --> 00:33:00.685
Like for a while we thought he was gone.

808
00:33:00.685 --> 00:33:03.885
And then Brenner was like, no he ain't Dad got him.

809
00:33:04.125 --> 00:33:05.445
<v Speaker 1>I got one of these. And</v>
<v Speaker 2>So, and</v>

810
00:33:05.445 --> 00:33:09.005
so I opened it thinking he was crazy and then he grabbed it

811
00:33:09.025 --> 00:33:11.565
and I had to like pull his neck away

812
00:33:11.585 --> 00:33:13.245
and I was like, you have to drop the squirrel.

813
00:33:13.245 --> 00:33:15.685
<v Speaker 3>Best day for the dog. Worst day for that squirrel. Stop.</v>

814
00:33:15.985 --> 00:33:18.085
<v Speaker 2>It was such a cute little baby, little squirrel.</v>

815
00:33:18.085 --> 00:33:19.725
So he goes, I got him in a Tupperware thing.

816
00:33:19.915 --> 00:33:23.085
Okay, check this out, get him out the door,

817
00:33:23.345 --> 00:33:24.485
the dogs are inside.

818
00:33:25.405 --> 00:33:27.485
I open it up, the little squirrel runs

819
00:33:27.755 --> 00:33:29.085
immediately across the street

820
00:33:30.105 --> 00:33:31.565
<v Speaker 1>As far away from your house as possible.</v>

821
00:33:31.875 --> 00:33:33.805
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Don't</v>
<v Speaker 3>They have dogs across the street?</v>

822
00:33:34.345 --> 00:33:37.445
<v Speaker 2>Yep. So my dog who, uh,</v>

823
00:33:38.325 --> 00:33:39.605
runner very good boy.

824
00:33:39.865 --> 00:33:42.325
Um, most of the time in terms of like, he doesn't leave

825
00:33:42.665 --> 00:33:43.665
<v Speaker 3>Mm-hmm .</v>

826
00:33:43.845 --> 00:33:47.125
<v Speaker 2>Apparently he knows how to get out of the gated property.</v>

827
00:33:47.825 --> 00:33:50.405
And so ran to his little secret place

828
00:33:51.225 --> 00:33:54.485
and the next thing I know Kelly and I are looking outside

829
00:33:54.505 --> 00:33:57.125
and he's on the street going to the neighbor's house,

830
00:33:57.355 --> 00:33:58.365
chasing the squirrel.

831
00:33:58.705 --> 00:34:01.285
And this is like a good two and a half minutes

832
00:34:01.695 --> 00:34:03.845
after he watched the squirrel go.

833
00:34:04.345 --> 00:34:07.085
And he is like, dad, I'm, I'll get it, I'll get it.

834
00:34:07.165 --> 00:34:08.845
I know you up and let it go. Don't worry.

835
00:34:09.165 --> 00:34:10.925
<v Speaker 1>I got it guys.</v>
<v Speaker 2>I know where he went.</v>

836
00:34:12.025 --> 00:34:14.005
And so we finally got him back in the house.

837
00:34:14.785 --> 00:34:15.845
We were gonna take him for a walk.

838
00:34:15.945 --> 00:34:17.205
And so we like let him out.

839
00:34:17.355 --> 00:34:19.445
Took like we were gonna meet him at the

840
00:34:19.445 --> 00:34:20.565
garage and get their leashes on.

841
00:34:20.565 --> 00:34:22.005
We let him out the front door. Sure

842
00:34:22.005 --> 00:34:23.085
enough, look out the window again.

843
00:34:23.115 --> 00:34:26.285
He's out on the street, just nose to the ground, just sniff,

844
00:34:26.285 --> 00:34:27.805
like trying to track the squirrel down.

845
00:34:27.905 --> 00:34:31.325
I'm like, bro, you need to let you A impressed.

846
00:34:31.965 --> 00:34:33.005
B let it go.

847
00:34:34.765 --> 00:34:36.245
<v Speaker 1>B. So did we figure</v>
<v Speaker 2>Out how's</v>

848
00:34:36.525 --> 00:34:37.525
<v Speaker 1>Cleaning?</v>

849
00:34:37.525 --> 00:34:38.925
Did we figure out how he's getting out of the gate?

850
00:34:39.705 --> 00:34:42.565
<v Speaker 2>Uh, no.</v>
<v Speaker 1>So he did, he did it twice.</v>

851
00:34:42.565 --> 00:34:43.645
So we just don't know how he's doing it.

852
00:34:44.105 --> 00:34:46.525
<v Speaker 2>No, it's like a little Houdini doodle.</v>

853
00:34:46.645 --> 00:34:47.805
<v Speaker 3>Honestly. No, he's earned it. He's</v>

854
00:34:47.805 --> 00:34:48.845
earned it. That's his, he's

855
00:34:49.045 --> 00:34:52.365
<v Speaker 1>A, he's a oodle Oodle oodle.</v>

856
00:34:54.145 --> 00:34:55.965
Um, oh wow. Okay. I have

857
00:34:55.965 --> 00:34:57.325
<v Speaker 3>A, I have a funny dog story.</v>

858
00:34:58.105 --> 00:34:59.405
You guys already know part of this.

859
00:35:00.385 --> 00:35:02.645
So I was giving Teddy a bath today

860
00:35:02.745 --> 00:35:04.405
and I live in a very old apartment.

861
00:35:04.675 --> 00:35:06.725
This place, this place was built in the 1940s.

862
00:35:07.785 --> 00:35:10.445
The, so some stuff's just really old,

863
00:35:10.445 --> 00:35:11.525
including the bathroom door.

864
00:35:11.665 --> 00:35:14.405
So anyways, while I'm giving Teddy a bath, the door handle

865
00:35:14.505 --> 00:35:16.485
to my bathroom door just fell off.

866
00:35:16.965 --> 00:35:19.125
locking. Teddy and I in the bathroom.

867
00:35:19.475 --> 00:35:21.645
Luckily I had my phone, so I called maintenance.

868
00:35:21.665 --> 00:35:23.485
It took maintenance like 45 minutes to get me out.

869
00:35:23.665 --> 00:35:25.725
But in the meantime I was just bored locked

870
00:35:25.725 --> 00:35:26.805
in the bathroom with the dog.

871
00:35:27.185 --> 00:35:28.925
And when weird stuff happens to me,

872
00:35:29.165 --> 00:35:32.005
I call Marco Andretti on FaceTime

873
00:35:32.265 --> 00:35:34.325
and when he answers I say, you know

874
00:35:34.325 --> 00:35:35.965
how &lt;inaudible&gt; just kind of happens to me?

875
00:35:36.265 --> 00:35:38.285
And then he laughs and I launch into the story.

876
00:35:38.505 --> 00:35:40.805
So I called him, he answers, I tell that story.

877
00:35:40.805 --> 00:35:42.925
He goes, so you're locked in the bathroom? Yeah.

878
00:35:42.965 --> 00:35:43.925
I was like, yeah. He is like, you've

879
00:35:43.925 --> 00:35:44.645
been there for half an hour.

880
00:35:44.645 --> 00:35:46.085
Yeah. He goes, isn't that crazy?

881
00:35:46.145 --> 00:35:48.205
And he just turns the camera over to Mario

882
00:35:48.345 --> 00:35:49.645
and Michael sitting there too. .

883
00:35:50.285 --> 00:35:51.285
And it was like,

884
00:35:51.765 --> 00:35:54.845
<v Speaker 1>I had called</v>
<v Speaker 3>Just to share that story with you,</v>

885
00:35:55.705 --> 00:35:58.405
not the president of cars, not Mario.

886
00:35:58.685 --> 00:36:01.045
Andretti. . Like I would like,

887
00:36:02.105 --> 00:36:04.565
<v Speaker 1>So I look, I gotta say man, occupational hazard</v>

888
00:36:04.665 --> 00:36:06.685
of FaceTiming that's you did that.

889
00:36:06.825 --> 00:36:09.205
He did not ask to FaceTime you and trick you into it.

890
00:36:09.345 --> 00:36:11.365
You just kind of put it out there in the world.

891
00:36:12.155 --> 00:36:13.365
Just call him like a person

892
00:36:13.545 --> 00:36:15.485
or text him like you did us. I also

893
00:36:15.485 --> 00:36:18.645
<v Speaker 3>Like that he was like in a, in a room with just his dad</v>

894
00:36:18.665 --> 00:36:22.485
and grandpa and was like, hang on, Tim's FaceTiming me.

895
00:36:22.485 --> 00:36:25.405
Obviously I have to take this. No, won't step outside.

896
00:36:26.035 --> 00:36:27.925
<v Speaker 1>Well no, because he assumes it's gonna be something</v>

897
00:36:27.925 --> 00:36:29.885
embarrassing and he wants to share that with,

898
00:36:30.305 --> 00:36:31.685
you know, Michael and Mario. To

899
00:36:31.685 --> 00:36:34.565
<v Speaker 3>Be clear, I would've FaceTimed you guys with the story,</v>

900
00:36:34.625 --> 00:36:35.885
but I knew you wouldn't answer.

901
00:36:36.325 --> 00:36:37.725
I just know Marco's a better friend.

902
00:36:39.075 --> 00:36:40.965
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. It's not because we were on the golf course.</v>

903
00:36:41.105 --> 00:36:43.565
Uh, I mean I took several calls on the golf course today.

904
00:36:43.825 --> 00:36:45.885
Uh, yeah. Yours I would not have answered.

905
00:36:45.985 --> 00:36:47.485
That's fair. Alright,

906
00:36:47.485 --> 00:36:48.765
<v Speaker 2>James, spring cleaning.</v>

907
00:36:49.345 --> 00:36:51.445
We know, we know Tim's friend with Andrettis.

908
00:36:51.555 --> 00:36:52.845
It's cool. Yeah. James,

909
00:36:52.905 --> 00:36:53.905
<v Speaker 1>Subtle name drop.</v>

910
00:36:54.025 --> 00:36:56.565
Um, yeah, so we decided to do it this spring

911
00:36:57.025 --> 00:37:00.965
and, uh, I gotta, I gotta tell you, we, it's, it was a lot

912
00:37:00.965 --> 00:37:02.525
of, it was a lot of stuff

913
00:37:02.555 --> 00:37:05.005
that we have extricated from our lives.

914
00:37:05.005 --> 00:37:08.245
Well, we haven't yet procured. It's no opposite. We're

915
00:37:08.985 --> 00:37:11.325
<v Speaker 2>No, but throughout your life you have procured a lot of,</v>

916
00:37:12.045 --> 00:37:13.325
<v Speaker 1>A lot of garbage, a lot of trash.</v>

917
00:37:13.585 --> 00:37:15.085
And, and we have like a, like one

918
00:37:15.085 --> 00:37:17.085
of our garages is now just full of stuff

919
00:37:17.085 --> 00:37:20.045
and we're just waiting for like the, the 1-800-GOT-JUNK

920
00:37:20.045 --> 00:37:22.045
or whatever to come by and pick it up.

921
00:37:22.265 --> 00:37:25.365
But in and amongst all the boxes that I found in my attic,

922
00:37:25.525 --> 00:37:27.765
I found myself this nice nifty mug,

923
00:37:30.855 --> 00:37:32.925
which I do think we should make more of.

924
00:37:32.925 --> 00:37:34.565
<v Speaker 2>What are you drinking out of that? Like tap water?</v>

925
00:37:35.145 --> 00:37:36.685
<v Speaker 1>Uh, it's tea. I'm</v>
<v Speaker 3>In a bed. Bourbon, but</v>

926
00:37:37.385 --> 00:37:38.385
<v Speaker 1>Tea.</v>

927
00:37:38.385 --> 00:37:39.165
Well, no. Well, no, it's tea.

928
00:37:41.845 --> 00:37:45.445
I also found these handy dandy off track coasters. Oh,

929
00:37:45.525 --> 00:37:47.245
<v Speaker 3>I thought that's what that was. Yeah.</v>

930
00:37:47.255 --> 00:37:50.765
<v Speaker 1>Which is pretty, pretty neat. Uh, we have cool stuff guys.</v>

931
00:37:51.085 --> 00:37:53.325
I, I, I like what we've done in this world,

932
00:37:53.565 --> 00:37:54.805
although we didn't, we don't sell these.

933
00:37:55.005 --> 00:37:56.685
Somebody else made these for us and I

934
00:37:56.985 --> 00:37:58.405
forget who, but I appreciate

935
00:37:58.405 --> 00:37:59.405
<v Speaker 3>It.</v>

936
00:37:59.405 --> 00:37:59.485
I think I commissioned those.

937
00:37:59.985 --> 00:38:01.365
<v Speaker 1>Did you?</v>
<v Speaker 2>I think so.</v>

938
00:38:01.365 --> 00:38:03.405
Back when you used it, it was worth for this show, I

939
00:38:03.405 --> 00:38:04.725
<v Speaker 3>Mean, well, let's go back to being mad at James.</v>

940
00:38:04.745 --> 00:38:06.565
He was the late one. I don't wanna be on that.

941
00:38:06.565 --> 00:38:08.165
He, I don't wanna be on the bad side

942
00:38:08.165 --> 00:38:09.605
of this Alex in a bad mood.

943
00:38:09.645 --> 00:38:10.765
I don't wanna to be catching flag

944
00:38:11.155 --> 00:38:14.205
<v Speaker 1>Ever since you just ended our indie talk.</v>

945
00:38:14.205 --> 00:38:17.205
Mm-hmm. And then name dropped the whole Renny clan. Yeah.

946
00:38:17.205 --> 00:38:20.885
Yeah. Like you're, you're on thin ice, my friend. All right.

947
00:38:20.955 --> 00:38:22.245
Just calm down.

948
00:38:22.595 --> 00:38:25.005
<v Speaker 3>It's gonna be a five minute episode after I cut all this .</v>

949
00:38:25.365 --> 00:38:27.605
<v Speaker 2>Anyways. Um, barbers this weekend.</v>

950
00:38:27.605 --> 00:38:31.285
Someone once said, uh, IndyCar viewership optional.

951
00:38:31.415 --> 00:38:32.525
Let's not make it optional.

952
00:38:32.615 --> 00:38:34.685
Let's make it mandatory. . Let's, uh,

953
00:38:35.285 --> 00:38:37.725
<v Speaker 1>I gotta say I got, first of all, please.</v>

954
00:38:37.985 --> 00:38:40.805
Who said that? Nobody said that. That's not a thing. Yeah.

955
00:38:41.145 --> 00:38:45.885
<v Speaker 2>Who said it was very funny?  damn thing. It's hilarious.</v>

956
00:38:49.325 --> 00:38:50.605
<v Speaker 1>I don't like it. I don't like it at all.</v>

957
00:38:50.795 --> 00:38:51.845
I'll tell you what I do like though.

958
00:38:52.445 --> 00:38:54.485
I do like the number of people that like,

959
00:38:54.575 --> 00:38:55.885
after your call to Arms,

960
00:38:56.105 --> 00:38:59.165
pre Long Beach about just watching on multiple televisions,

961
00:38:59.165 --> 00:39:02.005
how many tweets we got of people like taking pictures

962
00:39:02.345 --> 00:39:04.365
of multiple TVs in their home. Yeah.

963
00:39:04.435 --> 00:39:05.565
<v Speaker 2>Just had it. Well, imagine</v>

964
00:39:05.675 --> 00:39:07.085
what it would've been if we didn't do that.

965
00:39:07.395 --> 00:39:10.965
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, I think we, we really helped boost that number.</v>

966
00:39:10.985 --> 00:39:13.725
Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm . Uh, which is, which is terrific. Yes.

967
00:39:13.725 --> 00:39:16.845
Barbara this weekend. Uh, excited to see what happens.

968
00:39:17.835 --> 00:39:20.965
Golf is still not my thing. What else? I think that's it.

969
00:39:21.035 --> 00:39:22.885
<v Speaker 2>Hybrids are way quicker than we thought they were</v>

970
00:39:22.885 --> 00:39:23.885
<v Speaker 1>Gonna be.</v>

971
00:39:23.885 --> 00:39:24.885
Hybrids are quicker than we thought they were gonna be,

972
00:39:24.985 --> 00:39:27.285
but the racing is exactly what we thought it was gonna be

973
00:39:28.265 --> 00:39:29.765
the same so far, so not worse.

974
00:39:29.765 --> 00:39:31.805
Which is the same. Worse. Yeah. Not worse. Yep. Yep.

975
00:39:32.425 --> 00:39:34.885
And I think we just recapped the episode in 30 seconds.

976
00:39:35.105 --> 00:39:38.205
So if you were smart, you skipped to the end. Got the recap.

977
00:39:38.205 --> 00:39:39.805
Oh, and Tim thinks he knows how to run

978
00:39:39.985 --> 00:39:42.205
<v Speaker 2>And Tim thinks he's the andretti's best friend.</v>

979
00:39:42.465 --> 00:39:43.885
<v Speaker 1>And Tim got locked in the bathroom.</v>

980
00:39:44.115 --> 00:39:45.485
<v Speaker 2>Just be mean to me day, I guess.</v>

981
00:39:46.225 --> 00:39:49.445
<v Speaker 1>Bye guys. Thanks for, thanks for watching, listening.</v>
