00:00:00.195 --> 00:00:03.125
This is, is off track. Hello and
2
00:00:03.125 --> 00:00:04.125
welcome,
.
3
00:00:10.785 --> 00:00:11.885
You know what? They deserve it.
4
00:00:12.545 --> 00:00:13.765
I'd already eaten some this week, so I
5
00:00:13.765 --> 00:00:14.885
figured I'd drink something instead.
6
00:00:15.125 --> 00:00:16.805
I was so close to ordering Panera though,
7
00:00:16.805 --> 00:00:21.525
because somebody in the comments did, uh,
8
00:00:22.905 --> 00:00:24.045
harken back to the days
9
00:00:24.045 --> 00:00:26.685
of when I would always be eating Panera on the show. On,
10
00:00:26.745 --> 00:00:27.685
You know what? On the YouTube comments.
11
00:00:28.125 --> 00:00:30.605
I miss it. Mm, no, I've never looked at those. It was on,
12
00:00:30.805 --> 00:00:31.605
I was gonna say, I didn't think,
13
00:00:31.725 --> 00:00:32.805
I didn't think you guys read those.
14
00:00:33.185 --> 00:00:35.005
No, no. It was a Twitter it a Twitter comment. I barely
15
00:00:35.005 --> 00:00:36.005
Read those. .
16
00:00:36.865 --> 00:00:38.685
Is this where we get the most hate about eating?
17
00:00:38.875 --> 00:00:42.165
This is where it came, uh, last week. There was a lot.
18
00:00:42.165 --> 00:00:43.605
And then there were some people who were just like,
19
00:00:43.605 --> 00:00:44.765
this is what the show is.
20
00:00:45.395 --> 00:00:49.165
Like, just gotta, um, now that he is not here,
21
00:00:49.165 --> 00:00:51.685
we can mention we get a lot of hate for Rossi when he like
22
00:00:52.385 --> 00:00:54.965
put his mouth right over to the microphone when he
23
00:00:54.965 --> 00:00:56.765
Does this, or when he goes like this
24
00:00:56.765 --> 00:00:58.085
onto a topic and he never know.
25
00:00:58.085 --> 00:01:00.125
And then he comes back into here and it's always just,
26
00:01:00.425 --> 00:01:02.805
and look guys, we've told him multiple, like
27
00:01:03.065 --> 00:01:04.445
so many times not to do that
28
00:01:04.625 --> 00:01:06.445
and explain how microphones work.
29
00:01:06.985 --> 00:01:08.085
And you could vouch for me
30
00:01:08.085 --> 00:01:10.245
that when we do tell him he does it more intentionally.
31
00:01:10.675 --> 00:01:13.125
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
. So it's, it's
32
00:01:13.125 --> 00:01:15.845
Usually met with a you, Tim,
And
33
00:01:15.845 --> 00:01:18.285
Then he just ignores it and carries right on.
34
00:01:19.425 --> 00:01:21.725
Uh, so yeah, we get it, man.
35
00:01:21.785 --> 00:01:24.205
We, we guys, we we share your frustrations,
36
00:01:24.585 --> 00:01:27.245
but that's what, that's Alex's charm, right?
37
00:01:27.455 --> 00:01:28.885
We're, we're only right,
38
00:01:28.955 --> 00:01:31.085
like seven or eight years into this. We're still new.
39
00:01:31.675 --> 00:01:33.805
Wait, is this our 400th episode?
40
00:01:34.745 --> 00:01:35.845
No, Tuesdays was .
41
00:01:36.745 --> 00:01:40.205
Oh my God. And we didn't even mention it. Oh my God.
42
00:01:40.775 --> 00:01:45.165
Rossi wasn't there and we didn't even mention it. Wow. Wow.
43
00:01:45.165 --> 00:01:47.125
Wow, wow, wow. Well guys, yeah, you'll notice
44
00:01:47.125 --> 00:01:49.525
that it was off track with h or Rossi on Tuesday.
45
00:01:49.905 --> 00:01:53.365
It is again, uh, on Thursday, just due
46
00:01:53.365 --> 00:01:54.405
to some life circumstances. ,
47
00:01:54.845 --> 00:01:56.285
which I'm sure you could probably put together.
48
00:01:56.865 --> 00:01:58.565
Uh, so we had two quick things.
49
00:01:58.595 --> 00:02:00.885
Tuesday was our 400th episode. Tim,
50
00:02:03.235 --> 00:02:04.655
Can you cheers Sparkling water?
51
00:02:04.675 --> 00:02:06.615
Is that good luck? Is that bad luck? I'm gonna do it
52
00:02:06.895 --> 00:02:07.895
Cheerings with Diet Coke.
53
00:02:07.895 --> 00:02:09.255
So Yeah, it's fine. Here's to you,
54
00:02:09.955 --> 00:02:11.295
and look, here's really
55
00:02:11.295 --> 00:02:13.055
to the listeners guys. Thank you for
56
00:02:13.965 --> 00:02:18.255
400 of these
that's so offensive.
57
00:02:18.675 --> 00:02:20.375
The thing is, is there's probably one
58
00:02:20.375 --> 00:02:22.175
or two people that have listened to all of them.
59
00:02:23.135 --> 00:02:24.935
I don't, I I bet there's more.
60
00:02:25.215 --> 00:02:26.895
'cause I've seen a few people on Twitter be like,
61
00:02:26.895 --> 00:02:28.655
gonna start from the beginning and go through
62
00:02:28.715 --> 00:02:30.095
and they're like, provide updates.
63
00:02:30.115 --> 00:02:32.375
And I'm just like, oh, that's, that's
64
00:02:32.375 --> 00:02:33.375
Rough.
65
00:02:33.375 --> 00:02:34.575
Yeah. But they must not realize there's 400
66
00:02:34.675 --> 00:02:37.175
of these things , because at some point you're gonna be
67
00:02:37.175 --> 00:02:40.015
like, oh, we're only in 2019.
68
00:02:40.395 --> 00:02:41.815
I'm out. I'm gonna just skip ahead
69
00:02:41.815 --> 00:02:43.375
to current day and, and present day.
70
00:02:43.705 --> 00:02:46.495
Maybe like wouldn't, no, I, oh my God,
71
00:02:46.575 --> 00:02:47.735
I can't even believe we've spoken
72
00:02:47.875 --> 00:02:49.215
to each other for that much time.
73
00:02:49.475 --> 00:02:52.775
And I'm listening to like a 17 hour audio
74
00:02:52.805 --> 00:02:54.015
book on the Titanic.
75
00:02:54.035 --> 00:02:56.455
So it's not like I have high standards for things
76
00:02:56.455 --> 00:02:58.055
that need to be interesting. Right.
77
00:02:58.485 --> 00:03:00.765
Okay. First of all, that is insanely interesting.
78
00:03:00.765 --> 00:03:02.845
Second of all, send me the link to whatever book
79
00:03:02.845 --> 00:03:04.245
that is. 'cause I not wanna listen to it.
80
00:03:04.245 --> 00:03:05.845
It, yeah, yeah.
On it. And third of all,
81
00:03:06.205 --> 00:03:07.485
I actually feel worse for you
82
00:03:07.485 --> 00:03:09.725
because you have to listen to it to edit it.
83
00:03:09.785 --> 00:03:11.245
And then you do your last listen.
84
00:03:11.425 --> 00:03:14.245
So you've, you've listened to like three times 1200. Yeah.
85
00:03:14.245 --> 00:03:17.405
Minimum 1200 episodes worth the stuff. Yeah.
86
00:03:18.145 --> 00:03:21.365
Oh, that's just horrific . Oh, I'm so sorry. Because
87
00:03:21.385 --> 00:03:23.685
I'm there while we record, unfortunately for
88
00:03:23.765 --> 00:03:24.765
Everyone.
89
00:03:24.765 --> 00:03:25.965
Yeah, that doesn't count. That doesn't count. Um, yeah.
90
00:03:27.475 --> 00:03:29.645
, it's not as funny When you make the jokes about yourself,
91
00:03:30.175 --> 00:03:31.765
we're supposed to shoot you down. God.
92
00:03:31.765 --> 00:03:33.805
Well, Alex isn't here. So somebody had That's
93
00:03:33.805 --> 00:03:34.805
True.
94
00:03:34.805 --> 00:03:35.205
It's gotta be two people making fun
95
00:03:35.205 --> 00:03:36.365
of Tim on every episode. .
96
00:03:37.275 --> 00:03:39.125
It's in the contract.
Um, it's, yeah,
97
00:03:39.225 --> 00:03:40.885
Sirius did insist on that, weirdly.
98
00:03:40.885 --> 00:03:42.005
They were very pushy about it.
99
00:03:42.115 --> 00:03:43.925
Very, very firm on that point.
100
00:03:44.545 --> 00:03:47.085
Um, so that was the first thing from the Tuesday episode.
101
00:03:47.185 --> 00:03:48.645
The second thing from the Tuesday episode,
102
00:03:48.725 --> 00:03:50.685
I wanted a little, put a little button on the Indie
103
00:03:50.685 --> 00:03:51.765
500 Montreal.
104
00:03:51.945 --> 00:03:52.605
Oh, dammit.
105
00:03:58.945 --> 00:04:00.845
If I've gotta watch the move movable bezel
106
00:04:00.865 --> 00:04:03.205
and it moves off of exactly in the
107
00:04:03.205 --> 00:04:03.845
Middle. Yeah. How would
108
00:04:04.205 --> 00:04:05.445
I have to, yeah. Um,
109
00:04:05.625 --> 00:04:09.045
Um, this clock right here is four minutes fast right now,
110
00:04:09.045 --> 00:04:11.325
but it's one of those things where it like turns the thing.
111
00:04:11.785 --> 00:04:15.085
So I have to push it forward 23 hours
112
00:04:15.145 --> 00:04:16.885
and 56 minutes to get it correct.
113
00:04:17.385 --> 00:04:19.645
No, you just take the battery out for four minutes.
114
00:04:22.455 --> 00:04:23.305
That makes more sense.
.
115
00:04:28.225 --> 00:04:30.425
Although to be fair, in my house, every watch
116
00:04:30.605 --> 00:04:33.385
and clock is four minutes to five minutes fast,
117
00:04:33.385 --> 00:04:36.065
because that's how I prefer my time pieces to be.
118
00:04:36.585 --> 00:04:37.825
I was just wondering if you do that just
119
00:04:37.825 --> 00:04:39.465
to trick Becky into being punctual.
120
00:04:40.125 --> 00:04:42.065
No, no. I just lie to her what time we're leaving.
121
00:04:42.645 --> 00:04:43.865
Got it. That's smarter. Yeah.
122
00:04:44.205 --> 00:04:47.185
Um, it's like when you have Brazilian teammates, you have
123
00:04:47.185 --> 00:04:49.025
to tell, like if you're like sharing a ride
124
00:04:49.025 --> 00:04:51.665
to the track from the hotel in the morning, I had a,
125
00:04:51.745 --> 00:04:53.865
I had multiple Brazilian teammates in my junior formula
126
00:04:53.865 --> 00:04:56.785
career, and every single one of them, I had to lie by 15
127
00:04:56.785 --> 00:04:59.025
to 30 minutes as to when the call was leaving. We,
128
00:04:59.365 --> 00:05:01.945
We used to do that to my mom growing up.
129
00:05:01.965 --> 00:05:03.385
But like some of us would change
130
00:05:03.405 --> 00:05:04.465
the clock to be a little faster.
131
00:05:04.465 --> 00:05:06.665
Others would lie about like, when things were,
132
00:05:07.045 --> 00:05:10.105
and we realized like we had, it had gone too far.
133
00:05:10.625 --> 00:05:12.625
'cause like at her office was like 20 minutes off.
134
00:05:12.625 --> 00:05:14.265
The kitchen clock was like 10 minutes off .
135
00:05:14.705 --> 00:05:16.225
Like nothing was consistent.
136
00:05:16.685 --> 00:05:19.065
Too hard to keep track. Too hard to keep track. We
137
00:05:19.065 --> 00:05:20.825
All had to come together on a certain thing.
138
00:05:21.645 --> 00:05:24.585
So. So on the, on the Indie Montreal thing,
139
00:05:25.125 --> 00:05:26.345
as if you listen to Tuesday
140
00:05:26.605 --> 00:05:28.705
and you should have, if you haven't, please go back
141
00:05:28.705 --> 00:05:31.385
and listen and like, and subscribe. Um,
142
00:05:31.965 --> 00:05:33.905
Get through the other 399 first
143
00:05:34.155 --> 00:05:35.155
First of course.
144
00:05:35.365 --> 00:05:37.105
So, or else what are you even celebrating?
145
00:05:37.485 --> 00:05:39.585
Um, we've mentioned multiple times
146
00:05:39.645 --> 00:05:41.065
how this isn't a research based show.
147
00:05:41.335 --> 00:05:42.745
I've subsequently done a bit of research.
148
00:05:43.085 --> 00:05:46.345
It turns out that that's only a next year thing
149
00:05:46.645 --> 00:05:50.105
and it will not be on Memorial Day weekend. Well,
150
00:05:50.205 --> 00:05:51.205
Oh, okay.
151
00:05:51.445 --> 00:05:52.585
At least for four more years.
152
00:05:52.985 --> 00:05:54.945
I guess the way this calendar works
153
00:05:54.965 --> 00:05:56.825
and the way they've kind of structured their schedule,
154
00:05:57.395 --> 00:06:00.965
they reckon it's gonna happen once every five years. So
155
00:06:01.625 --> 00:06:04.205
Did they give a reason? That seems weird.
156
00:06:04.625 --> 00:06:07.445
It does seem weird. Again, I didn't look too far into it.
157
00:06:07.605 --> 00:06:09.805
I just read this line and I'm like, oh, okay.
158
00:06:09.805 --> 00:06:11.285
I'm slightly less angry now.
159
00:06:11.545 --> 00:06:13.805
And it also seems slightly less pointed now.
160
00:06:14.025 --> 00:06:16.725
You know, it seems like there might be some weird logistical
161
00:06:16.725 --> 00:06:19.045
reason as to it's, you know, as to why.
162
00:06:19.145 --> 00:06:21.645
Anyway, I'm less mad. It's one year.
163
00:06:22.215 --> 00:06:24.925
We're still gonna smash them on ratings, so whatever.
164
00:06:25.825 --> 00:06:29.955
Um, how was your weekend, bud?
165
00:06:30.255 --> 00:06:33.635
Uh, not bad. I'm trying to think if I did anything.
166
00:06:34.335 --> 00:06:37.915
You know what? So like Hazel went with her mom to Boston
167
00:06:38.665 --> 00:06:39.995
last week and the week
168
00:06:39.995 --> 00:06:42.075
before Hazel was an indie for the Indie 500.
169
00:06:42.535 --> 00:06:45.115
So we did nothing sweet.
170
00:06:45.225 --> 00:06:49.195
Like we were just, it was sit around the house, played a lot
171
00:06:49.195 --> 00:06:51.115
of Fortnite, watched a lot of movies,
172
00:06:51.125 --> 00:06:52.795
introduced her to the Truman Show.
173
00:06:52.995 --> 00:06:55.315
'cause I want her to have a little bit of anxiety about
174
00:06:55.315 --> 00:06:57.195
that maybe being real for the rest of her life.
175
00:06:57.195 --> 00:06:59.675
Like I do. Everybody has that, right?
176
00:06:59.675 --> 00:07:01.155
Like you're a little worried. Well,
177
00:07:01.175 --> 00:07:02.635
So I went through that phase
178
00:07:02.685 --> 00:07:04.395
where I was like fully convinced
179
00:07:04.395 --> 00:07:07.595
that like someone in my immediate vicinity was true.
180
00:07:07.715 --> 00:07:10.235
I, I felt like we were all not in on it, which then kind
181
00:07:10.235 --> 00:07:12.475
of like grew into just simulation theory.
182
00:07:12.625 --> 00:07:13.755
Okay. So I'm kind
183
00:07:13.755 --> 00:07:15.075
of more on the simulation theory
184
00:07:15.105 --> 00:07:16.555
bandwagon now more than I am.
185
00:07:16.555 --> 00:07:17.955
Like the Truman Show thing.
186
00:07:18.745 --> 00:07:21.195
Like you really think you're the star of the show.
187
00:07:21.635 --> 00:07:23.155
I would watch that show.
Yeah.
188
00:07:23.535 --> 00:07:24.955
You are the only one that would find
189
00:07:24.955 --> 00:07:26.075
the <inaudible>. You do. Interesting.
190
00:07:26.465 --> 00:07:29.435
I've had a weird go. Right. Like you gotta imagine.
191
00:07:29.435 --> 00:07:32.275
That's fair. You've got a pretty entertaining story. Yeah.
192
00:07:32.335 --> 00:07:34.155
You know what, in hindsight, I can't wait
193
00:07:34.155 --> 00:07:35.395
to listen to your audiobook .
194
00:07:36.145 --> 00:07:39.555
Like I, 'cause I was like, well, no, no, you'd have
195
00:07:39.555 --> 00:07:42.435
to be super arrogant to think that like millions of people.
196
00:07:42.575 --> 00:07:45.075
And then I was like, well, you know. Yeah.
197
00:07:45.355 --> 00:07:47.275
I mean, Truman just had like a nine to five
198
00:07:47.275 --> 00:07:50.875
and lived in a, you know, a suburban sort
199
00:07:50.875 --> 00:07:52.755
of Stepford type place
200
00:07:52.935 --> 00:07:54.835
and didn't really have a lot going on.
201
00:07:55.255 --> 00:07:58.035
You, you had got a couple interesting chapters. Yeah.
202
00:07:58.035 --> 00:07:59.595
In the, uh, in the Tale of Tim.
203
00:07:59.985 --> 00:08:01.235
Yeah.
Yeah. Or they,
204
00:08:01.425 --> 00:08:02.425
Well we won't get into those.
205
00:08:02.585 --> 00:08:05.795
Tell the statute of limitations go away.
206
00:08:06.415 --> 00:08:09.555
Can we call it the fail of fi? Can that be the,
207
00:08:09.695 --> 00:08:10.695
Of your book?
208
00:08:10.695 --> 00:08:12.275
No. . No.
209
00:08:12.275 --> 00:08:14.035
If if I wrote a book, it would be called,
210
00:08:14.695 --> 00:08:15.715
it just kind of happens to
211
00:08:15.715 --> 00:08:16.715
me.
,
212
00:08:17.695 --> 00:08:19.235
that's weirdly appropriate for you, .
213
00:08:19.985 --> 00:08:22.195
That is a weirdly appropriate for you. Yeah. Title or
214
00:08:22.195 --> 00:08:24.435
The names I've dropped along the way. That
215
00:08:24.435 --> 00:08:25.435
Is a great title.
216
00:08:25.665 --> 00:08:26.995
It's not a great title for you.
217
00:08:27.295 --> 00:08:28.515
You're not as bad at that
218
00:08:28.615 --> 00:08:30.315
as you are making yourself out to be
219
00:08:30.575 --> 00:08:31.575
Really.
220
00:08:31.575 --> 00:08:32.795
'cause I was talking to my friend George Clooney about it
221
00:08:32.795 --> 00:08:34.315
the other day, , and he was saying, ,
222
00:08:39.135 --> 00:08:40.275
Why couldn't you have picked one
223
00:08:40.275 --> 00:08:41.475
of your actual celebrity friends?
224
00:08:41.615 --> 00:08:44.115
And then that way at least it seeps somewhat plausible. .
225
00:08:45.905 --> 00:08:48.875
That was funnier.
That was funny. That was very good.
226
00:08:49.255 --> 00:08:50.595
God, I hate when you get one.
227
00:08:50.715 --> 00:08:52.075
I hate when you really sneak one in there, .
228
00:08:52.515 --> 00:08:54.635
I've gotta find a way to steal that joke too. Um,
229
00:08:54.855 --> 00:08:55.605
You will. You
230
00:08:55.605 --> 00:08:56.605
Will.
231
00:08:56.605 --> 00:08:56.765
Yeah, I will. I will.
232
00:08:56.835 --> 00:08:58.045
I'll be, oh, I heard a really
233
00:08:58.045 --> 00:08:59.125
good one that I wanted to steal.
234
00:08:59.265 --> 00:09:01.925
Not from you. Oh no, it was, what was it from?
235
00:09:02.355 --> 00:09:03.485
This is, this is quality,
236
00:09:03.715 --> 00:09:05.405
quality content we're making right now.
237
00:09:05.825 --> 00:09:07.085
No, no, no. I forget what it was,
238
00:09:07.185 --> 00:09:09.685
but so the, the, the phrase was like, I wanted
239
00:09:09.685 --> 00:09:12.405
to slap the taste outta your, like I was
240
00:09:13.115 --> 00:09:14.525
slap the taste outta your mouth.
241
00:09:14.665 --> 00:09:15.645
I'm like, oh, that's a good one.
242
00:09:15.805 --> 00:09:16.605
I haven't heard that before. I
243
00:09:16.605 --> 00:09:17.605
Think I've heard that one before.
244
00:09:17.605 --> 00:09:18.645
But yeah, it is good. It,
245
00:09:18.705 --> 00:09:20.005
It may have been in a show or a movie
246
00:09:20.005 --> 00:09:21.085
that I, that I heard it.
247
00:09:21.505 --> 00:09:22.845
All right. Well let's talk about your weekend.
248
00:09:23.005 --> 00:09:24.445
'cause you did actual stuff. You went
249
00:09:24.445 --> 00:09:25.925
and hung out with the, the legend
250
00:09:25.925 --> 00:09:27.285
himself, Jacques Ville Nove.
251
00:09:27.765 --> 00:09:32.525
I did. I did. Uh, and many of his friends and, uh,
252
00:09:33.345 --> 00:09:34.365
and compatriots.
253
00:09:34.545 --> 00:09:38.085
Um, so Jacque's got a, uh, he's one of the owners
254
00:09:38.105 --> 00:09:40.925
of this members club racetrack, kind of similar
255
00:09:40.945 --> 00:09:43.525
to the thermal club, just like the Canadian version.
256
00:09:43.625 --> 00:09:44.645
So it's way poorer.
257
00:09:45.105 --> 00:09:47.765
Um, like it doesn't have mansions all around it,
258
00:09:47.825 --> 00:09:50.965
but it is actually I way nicer racetrack.
259
00:09:51.025 --> 00:09:53.445
The track itself is really, really cool.
260
00:09:53.765 --> 00:09:55.525
I did this last year, we talked about it last year,
261
00:09:55.625 --> 00:10:00.325
but, um, it was, it was so much fun getting to,
262
00:10:00.845 --> 00:10:04.205
I got a few more laps on it this time, uh, in a,
263
00:10:04.345 --> 00:10:05.445
in a sporty car.
264
00:10:06.265 --> 00:10:09.645
And they did a really good job designing this racetrack.
265
00:10:09.795 --> 00:10:12.125
Like if you are a motoring enthusiast
266
00:10:12.505 --> 00:10:16.285
and you enjoy doing track days of sorts, I mean,
267
00:10:16.285 --> 00:10:18.405
they've got a school there if you wanna do the school thing
268
00:10:18.405 --> 00:10:19.605
and just learn to be a better driver,
269
00:10:19.745 --> 00:10:21.805
or I'm sure there's track days where you could go and,
270
00:10:21.825 --> 00:10:23.445
and bring your car up if you're, if you're
271
00:10:23.445 --> 00:10:24.485
that, that in that world.
272
00:10:25.145 --> 00:10:27.085
But it's one of the, one of the coolest
273
00:10:27.265 --> 00:10:29.725
and kind of most challenging school type tracks
274
00:10:29.945 --> 00:10:31.965
and like member type tracks I've ever seen.
275
00:10:32.625 --> 00:10:35.565
And you know, Jacques is very like,
276
00:10:35.855 --> 00:10:37.925
particular about things if, you know,
277
00:10:37.985 --> 00:10:41.045
if you like read the news and you ever hear his quotes.
278
00:10:41.045 --> 00:10:42.765
He's very direct and he's very just like,
279
00:10:43.155 --> 00:10:44.645
he's got his opinions and that's it.
280
00:10:45.305 --> 00:10:47.565
Um, but he's very bright and he's got a lot of good ideas.
281
00:10:47.705 --> 00:10:49.325
So anyway, this is his track.
282
00:10:49.625 --> 00:10:52.285
He does a big kind of members appreciation weekend, um,
283
00:10:52.795 --> 00:10:54.205
with the gm, a guy called Bill.
284
00:10:55.705 --> 00:10:57.325
And, uh, and they host this big event
285
00:10:57.345 --> 00:10:58.525
for all the members of the club.
286
00:10:58.665 --> 00:11:01.965
And we do some cool events and some cool dinners.
287
00:11:02.235 --> 00:11:04.525
Meet lots of fun people see lots of cool cars.
288
00:11:05.265 --> 00:11:10.085
Uh, we, I got to reconnect
289
00:11:10.085 --> 00:11:12.245
with a couple old friends, some fellow
290
00:11:12.645 --> 00:11:13.685
Canadian racing types.
291
00:11:14.305 --> 00:11:16.125
And uh, it's,
292
00:11:16.125 --> 00:11:19.365
it's in this really small town called O Oso
293
00:11:20.145 --> 00:11:21.285
in British Columbia.
294
00:11:22.065 --> 00:11:24.805
And it's like on this gorgeous lake outside Kelowna,
295
00:11:25.005 --> 00:11:26.405
bc which some people may have heard of.
296
00:11:26.825 --> 00:11:27.925
We go, I, I always joke
297
00:11:27.925 --> 00:11:29.925
that Kelowna's like our Lake Tahoe, right?
298
00:11:30.395 --> 00:11:32.685
It's like super nice lake out on the west coast.
299
00:11:33.365 --> 00:11:34.925
A lot of big properties, stuff like that.
300
00:11:35.585 --> 00:11:39.805
So about two hours from there is, uh, is this place
301
00:11:39.865 --> 00:11:42.765
and it's like a really small, like lake community
302
00:11:43.345 --> 00:11:44.525
and it's got like one bar.
303
00:11:45.025 --> 00:11:46.805
And so the, the kids that I know, like the guys
304
00:11:46.805 --> 00:11:49.205
that I know kind of grew up working there
305
00:11:49.225 --> 00:11:50.645
and like being instructors and stuff.
306
00:11:50.645 --> 00:11:52.205
So they spent a lot of summers there
307
00:11:52.345 --> 00:11:55.685
and they took me to like the one bar called the Owl
308
00:11:55.685 --> 00:11:57.085
after one of the events one night.
309
00:11:57.265 --> 00:11:58.645
And it was one of these things where it was like,
310
00:11:58.645 --> 00:12:00.325
we did an event at the track shut down at
311
00:12:00.325 --> 00:12:01.405
like midnight or something like that.
312
00:12:01.985 --> 00:12:03.165
But it was one of the people that we
313
00:12:03.165 --> 00:12:04.205
were with, it was her birthday.
314
00:12:04.205 --> 00:12:05.965
And so we're like, ah, we're we're going out.
315
00:12:05.965 --> 00:12:07.125
Like clearly not a great idea.
316
00:12:07.585 --> 00:12:10.725
But we ended up going out to the one bar, shut
317
00:12:10.725 --> 00:12:14.005
that bar down, ended up back at some guy in the property
318
00:12:14.035 --> 00:12:15.605
that was staying with us, like staying
319
00:12:15.705 --> 00:12:17.605
for the event back in his hotel room
320
00:12:17.745 --> 00:12:20.005
and then shut that down at some point still to get up
321
00:12:20.005 --> 00:12:21.485
and go like work the next day at the track.
322
00:12:21.785 --> 00:12:24.325
But got the full oh Soyuz experience,
323
00:12:24.695 --> 00:12:26.445
which involved corn hole
324
00:12:28.165 --> 00:12:30.295
that was about five feet apart from each other.
325
00:12:30.855 --> 00:12:33.255
I am really good at cornhole when it's five feet apart.
326
00:12:33.255 --> 00:12:34.575
When it's five feet apart. Yeah.
327
00:12:34.935 --> 00:12:36.135
I think everybody is mm-hmm .
328
00:12:38.175 --> 00:12:39.455
I don't like the way you said that, Tim.
329
00:12:40.075 --> 00:12:42.455
Uh, good. That was how I intended it.
330
00:12:42.885 --> 00:12:44.015
Good. Um,
331
00:12:44.555 --> 00:12:47.575
and then I had, uh, a bit of a difficult travel leg back.
332
00:12:48.275 --> 00:12:50.735
Is that, uh, is that what we're using as the excuse
333
00:12:50.835 --> 00:12:53.295
for leaving me hanging this morning? Yeah.
334
00:12:53.475 --> 00:12:55.335
So again, we alluded to this on Tuesday.
335
00:12:55.555 --> 00:12:57.655
Why don't you explain to the group what happened?
336
00:12:57.965 --> 00:13:02.295
Okay. Well, scheduling this show can be tough.
337
00:13:02.725 --> 00:13:04.255
It's our single biggest challenge.
338
00:13:04.845 --> 00:13:07.495
Yeah. Because you guys are pretty busy
339
00:13:08.115 --> 00:13:09.335
and you travel a lot.
340
00:13:09.875 --> 00:13:13.495
And so occasionally that means I get a text that says, Hey,
341
00:13:14.395 --> 00:13:17.615
we have to record at eight 30 on Tuesday.
342
00:13:18.365 --> 00:13:21.735
Good morning. We always talk in Eastern
343
00:13:21.765 --> 00:13:24.935
because we just needed to have like a standard time zone
344
00:13:24.935 --> 00:13:26.695
because everybody travels so much.
345
00:13:26.695 --> 00:13:29.855
So 8:30 AM is 5:30 AM for me. Mm-hmm .
346
00:13:30.075 --> 00:13:31.815
So that was the case this morning.
347
00:13:32.205 --> 00:13:33.495
Your choice to live, you know,
348
00:13:33.515 --> 00:13:35.175
in California, whatever. It's fine. Carry
349
00:13:35.175 --> 00:13:36.175
On.
350
00:13:36.175 --> 00:13:38.595
So, well I'm not allowed in like 48
351
00:13:38.595 --> 00:13:40.715
of those states anymore. So , um,
352
00:13:41.225 --> 00:13:43.315
Back to the statute of limitations that we need
353
00:13:43.315 --> 00:13:44.595
to inspire for you to do the book.
354
00:13:45.175 --> 00:13:48.915
Um, so went to bed early last night, set an alarm
355
00:13:49.055 --> 00:13:53.075
for five 15 to make sure everything was, was good.
356
00:13:53.975 --> 00:13:55.515
Got up at five 15 this morning,
357
00:13:55.655 --> 00:13:57.435
texted the group just being like, Hey,
358
00:13:57.435 --> 00:13:59.755
just confirming we're still on for, you know,
359
00:14:00.285 --> 00:14:02.635
eight 30, get a text back from Alex.
360
00:14:02.655 --> 00:14:04.555
Hey, it's gonna be about 15 minutes late.
361
00:14:04.645 --> 00:14:07.235
Ben's freaking out. Radio silence from James.
362
00:14:07.495 --> 00:14:10.755
So go down, feed and walk the dog, do all this stuff.
363
00:14:10.945 --> 00:14:14.435
5 45 rolls around. Alex is saying, Hey, I can't make it.
364
00:14:14.605 --> 00:14:15.915
Ben's freaking out too much.
365
00:14:16.275 --> 00:14:18.275
I need to, you know, and I know you have,
366
00:14:18.475 --> 00:14:19.875
I had a heart out at 6:30 AM
367
00:14:19.875 --> 00:14:21.755
because I had to wake my daughter up.
368
00:14:22.335 --> 00:14:23.715
Uh, nothing from James.
369
00:14:24.615 --> 00:14:27.635
So James just, uh, just never responds.
370
00:14:27.635 --> 00:14:29.795
And I think to myself, well he's been traveling
371
00:14:29.895 --> 00:14:34.715
so he's probably just overslept and we'll figure it out.
372
00:14:34.805 --> 00:14:38.595
Right about an hour later I'm driving Hazel to school
373
00:14:39.455 --> 00:14:42.955
and I get a text from Becky James' wife
374
00:14:43.135 --> 00:14:46.995
who we like more than James saying, uh, Hey,
375
00:14:46.995 --> 00:14:48.755
did James make the podcast this morning?
376
00:14:49.155 --> 00:14:50.835
I was like, funny, you should mention it. He sure didn't .
377
00:14:51.955 --> 00:14:53.485
He's like, well I can't get ahold of him.
378
00:14:54.505 --> 00:14:57.125
So, so now I'm worried, right, ,
379
00:14:57.365 --> 00:15:00.205
because like, I'm like, well it wasn't me
380
00:15:00.205 --> 00:15:02.245
that hit the gas like that one time he was on Dancing
381
00:15:02.245 --> 00:15:03.645
with the Stars and I almost killed him.
382
00:15:03.645 --> 00:15:05.565
So at least I'm not like culpable on this one,
383
00:15:06.025 --> 00:15:07.245
but like, did something happen?
384
00:15:07.265 --> 00:15:09.685
So I'm texting Alex, I'm like, I think you're gonna need
385
00:15:09.685 --> 00:15:10.925
to swing by James's place.
386
00:15:10.945 --> 00:15:13.445
Or I'm like, te I was getting ready to call my stepdad
387
00:15:13.705 --> 00:15:15.805
and be like, Hey, I need you to go to
388
00:15:18.425 --> 00:15:20.325
to go
Make sure James is okay.
389
00:15:20.955 --> 00:15:22.325
When
Sure enough she gets ahold of you
390
00:15:22.325 --> 00:15:23.325
and you end up being fine.
391
00:15:23.385 --> 00:15:25.165
So what happened on your end that you
392
00:15:25.755 --> 00:15:27.005
overslept by how many hours?
393
00:15:27.935 --> 00:15:29.765
Right. So a couple things.
394
00:15:30.055 --> 00:15:33.725
First of all, uh, if for future emergencies where you need
395
00:15:33.725 --> 00:15:35.845
to get me, Bobby does live closest to me
396
00:15:35.945 --> 00:15:36.965
of our immediate friends.
397
00:15:36.965 --> 00:15:40.125
Got it. Got it. Okay. Um, and then, uh, second.
398
00:15:40.195 --> 00:15:42.605
Yeah, I just want touch back on the time when you did almost
399
00:15:42.625 --> 00:15:46.605
try to kill me by turning on the gas accidentally on the
400
00:15:46.685 --> 00:15:47.685
Stove in apartment.
401
00:15:47.685 --> 00:15:48.645
We dunno know it was me. It could have
402
00:15:48.645 --> 00:15:49.645
been you that bumped into it.
403
00:15:50.275 --> 00:15:52.085
Very, very sure it was you. Anyway, .
404
00:15:52.705 --> 00:15:57.525
Um, so you see what had happened was I was flying.
405
00:15:57.625 --> 00:15:59.365
So again, as I mentioned,
406
00:15:59.505 --> 00:16:01.165
we had had a late night the night before.
407
00:16:01.705 --> 00:16:03.885
Um, and then I was flying home.
408
00:16:04.425 --> 00:16:08.045
So this would be Monday morning out of
409
00:16:08.795 --> 00:16:10.365
Penticton, British Columbia.
410
00:16:11.315 --> 00:16:12.365
Very small airport.
411
00:16:12.365 --> 00:16:13.525
Yeah. We all know that one. Yeah, of course.
412
00:16:13.525 --> 00:16:14.845
Everybody here knows that. Yeah,
413
00:16:14.915 --> 00:16:15.915
Yeah, yeah.
414
00:16:15.915 --> 00:16:17.685
Big tourist destination and well that actually is,
415
00:16:17.745 --> 00:16:19.165
but the airport's quite small.
416
00:16:19.185 --> 00:16:23.565
So the, my flight path was Penticton to Calgary,
417
00:16:23.955 --> 00:16:25.485
Calgary to Minneapolis.
418
00:16:25.795 --> 00:16:27.485
Minneapolis to Indianapolis.
419
00:16:28.125 --> 00:16:29.525
I feel like Minneapolis was the first
420
00:16:29.635 --> 00:16:30.845
real place you mentioned there.
421
00:16:30.915 --> 00:16:32.325
Like you may as well have been like, well,
422
00:16:32.365 --> 00:16:34.405
I went from Narnia to Hogwarts
423
00:16:34.405 --> 00:16:36.365
and then Hogwarts to Minneapolis. ,
424
00:16:39.445 --> 00:16:42.125
I mean Calgary's kind of a town. Sure.
425
00:16:42.185 --> 00:16:44.565
Um, uh, so
426
00:16:44.905 --> 00:16:47.045
Is that near Riverdale where they did the council
427
00:16:47.575 --> 00:16:49.125
Elron you, I hate you so much.
428
00:16:49.675 --> 00:16:52.325
Hate you so much. I mean, my defense,
429
00:16:52.385 --> 00:16:54.165
I'd rather be living in Calgary right now than where you are
430
00:16:54.855 --> 00:16:58.245
based on the happenings outside your window right now. It
431
00:16:58.245 --> 00:16:59.245
Has not been that bad.
432
00:16:59.785 --> 00:17:03.765
Anyway. Um, so, so we, I had,
433
00:17:03.805 --> 00:17:07.045
I had a delay getting, I had a plan, right guys,
434
00:17:07.155 --> 00:17:09.925
this is a travel podcast 'cause we're all expert travelers
435
00:17:09.985 --> 00:17:12.645
and I had a plan on when to eat
436
00:17:13.065 --> 00:17:14.685
and where I was gonna go and all the stuff.
437
00:17:14.685 --> 00:17:16.485
And like I planned it all out. I had my day mapped out.
438
00:17:16.905 --> 00:17:19.685
So first plane was a little bit delayed
439
00:17:20.985 --> 00:17:25.745
and that meant I had planned on eating in
440
00:17:25.745 --> 00:17:27.945
Calgary on the first layover.
441
00:17:29.405 --> 00:17:30.545
So the plane was delayed.
442
00:17:30.805 --> 00:17:32.545
And then I flew into Calgary and
443
00:17:32.665 --> 00:17:34.145
'cause I was on like a super small plane out
444
00:17:34.145 --> 00:17:36.505
of a super small place and I was now going international.
445
00:17:36.625 --> 00:17:39.945
I had literally crossed the entire airport, which despite
446
00:17:39.945 --> 00:17:41.865
what you think, Tim is a big enough city
447
00:17:41.865 --> 00:17:42.985
to have a pretty big airport.
448
00:17:43.845 --> 00:17:45.345
So I had to cross the entire thing.
449
00:17:45.485 --> 00:17:47.785
And I then had to leave the airport, come back in,
450
00:17:48.105 --> 00:17:51.605
recheck in, go through US customs, et cetera, et cetera.
451
00:17:52.025 --> 00:17:53.285
So I needed to do all that
452
00:17:53.285 --> 00:17:54.565
before I could contemplate eating.
453
00:17:55.185 --> 00:17:59.045
And then by the time the plane landed late, I walked,
454
00:17:59.425 --> 00:18:01.245
you know, three kilometers,
455
00:18:04.605 --> 00:18:07.795
Miles that you, you, you know what I'm thinking?
456
00:18:07.795 --> 00:18:11.915
Yeah. It's 1.8, two three something miles. Something
457
00:18:11.915 --> 00:18:12.915
Like that.
458
00:18:12.915 --> 00:18:13.715
Anyway, sorry.
459
00:18:14.095 --> 00:18:15.595
1.875 miles.
460
00:18:15.925 --> 00:18:19.685
There you go. So then, and then I had to leave.
461
00:18:19.925 --> 00:18:22.525
I had to clear guys, I had to go through back, back
462
00:18:22.525 --> 00:18:24.085
to security Canada.
463
00:18:24.465 --> 00:18:26.685
Canada needs to grow <inaudible> up when it
464
00:18:26.685 --> 00:18:27.845
comes to airport security.
465
00:18:28.315 --> 00:18:30.405
It's just, okay, it needs to step up.
466
00:18:30.805 --> 00:18:35.165
I for the first time in, I don't know how long I get
467
00:18:35.165 --> 00:18:36.805
that they don't have TSA pre they should,
468
00:18:36.805 --> 00:18:38.165
there needs to be some equivalent of that.
469
00:18:38.465 --> 00:18:42.205
But even without that, I had to take off not just my shoes,
470
00:18:43.065 --> 00:18:45.165
my belt, my watch.
471
00:18:45.805 --> 00:18:48.885
I had to empty every liquid in my toilet cheese bag
472
00:18:48.955 --> 00:18:50.205
into a little plastic bag.
473
00:18:50.365 --> 00:18:52.005
I know they do that in like England and stuff.
474
00:18:52.345 --> 00:18:54.805
But even for just like normal security, when I fly,
475
00:18:54.985 --> 00:18:56.845
you know, if you fly domestically in the US
476
00:18:57.475 --> 00:18:58.565
yeah you take your shoes off,
477
00:18:58.695 --> 00:19:00.045
maybe your belt's gotta come off.
478
00:19:00.075 --> 00:19:01.325
I've never taken a watch off going
479
00:19:01.325 --> 00:19:02.525
through a metal detector in my life.
480
00:19:03.825 --> 00:19:06.285
And anyway, it was just the most annoying
481
00:19:06.545 --> 00:19:07.685
and long-winded process.
482
00:19:08.665 --> 00:19:10.685
Get back through that, go through customs.
483
00:19:10.875 --> 00:19:12.845
There's not quite enough time to, to get food.
484
00:19:12.905 --> 00:19:14.045
So now I'm like, damn it, all right,
485
00:19:14.045 --> 00:19:15.765
I'm gonna get a go get like a bar
486
00:19:15.765 --> 00:19:18.645
or whatever from the convenience store, the Hudson
487
00:19:18.745 --> 00:19:20.125
or whatever, whatever the equivalent is.
488
00:19:20.625 --> 00:19:22.885
And then we'll get on the plane and I'll eat Minneapolis.
489
00:19:23.755 --> 00:19:27.855
Well then my Minneapolis flights started getting delayed.
490
00:19:29.515 --> 00:19:32.015
Now it was that annoying, like being delayed in kind
491
00:19:32.015 --> 00:19:34.015
of like 15 minute increments so you could never leave.
492
00:19:34.075 --> 00:19:35.335
The worst. The worst. Yeah.
493
00:19:35.955 --> 00:19:38.855
But by the time we boarded the plane, I would've had
494
00:19:39.275 --> 00:19:40.695
so much time to have gone
495
00:19:40.715 --> 00:19:43.575
and had an actual meal in Calgary, which I was not able
496
00:19:43.575 --> 00:19:46.135
to do 'cause I was never able to leave the thing.
497
00:19:46.555 --> 00:19:49.895
So then I get on the plane, I have a snack on the plane,
498
00:19:50.035 --> 00:19:51.735
but now we're so delayed going
499
00:19:51.915 --> 00:19:53.615
to Minneapolis that I'm like, don't
500
00:19:53.615 --> 00:19:54.335
Have time to eat. Yeah.
501
00:19:54.735 --> 00:19:56.375
Starting to lose my ability to have time to eat.
502
00:19:56.375 --> 00:19:57.375
And I'll be honest with you Tim,
503
00:19:57.975 --> 00:19:59.415
I was getting hangry, which is
504
00:19:59.415 --> 00:20:01.215
Also a shame 'cause I love the Minneapolis
505
00:20:01.215 --> 00:20:02.215
Airport.
506
00:20:02.215 --> 00:20:02.695
Lemme get, lemme get there.
507
00:20:03.875 --> 00:20:05.775
So we get there and we've talked about our love
508
00:20:05.775 --> 00:20:06.975
of Minneapolis St.
509
00:20:06.975 --> 00:20:08.695
Paul Airport. So I get there
510
00:20:08.875 --> 00:20:11.015
and it's like on the edge of enough time to eat,
511
00:20:11.035 --> 00:20:13.095
but now I've just smashed so many snacks
512
00:20:13.255 --> 00:20:15.015
'cause I was so hungry and getting really cranky
513
00:20:15.165 --> 00:20:18.895
that like I can't quite tell how hungry I am or whatever.
514
00:20:19.755 --> 00:20:21.335
So I get to Minneapolis
515
00:20:21.795 --> 00:20:25.645
and decide to go get something to eat,
516
00:20:26.105 --> 00:20:27.645
but it wasn't like a proper meal
517
00:20:27.645 --> 00:20:29.165
because I wasn't sure how much time I had
518
00:20:29.165 --> 00:20:30.165
and I'd had enough snacks.
519
00:20:30.205 --> 00:20:31.165
I was like, I just need something to
520
00:20:31.165 --> 00:20:32.165
get me through this next flight.
521
00:20:32.495 --> 00:20:35.365
Which was then also delayed and delayed and delayed.
522
00:20:35.785 --> 00:20:40.005
And so the good news is if you're gonna get trapped in an
523
00:20:40.005 --> 00:20:43.765
airport, MSP is one I'm very happy getting trapped
524
00:20:43.765 --> 00:20:44.845
in for a little bit of time.
525
00:20:45.105 --> 00:20:46.805
But still it was when you have a day
526
00:20:46.805 --> 00:20:48.245
where you're doing three flights anyway,
527
00:20:48.245 --> 00:20:50.405
which is already a little bit outside the norm.
528
00:20:50.405 --> 00:20:52.685
So what, so what to have delays on all three flights
529
00:20:52.705 --> 00:20:54.365
and extended layovers essentially.
530
00:20:54.365 --> 00:20:55.405
Well I guess they weren't extended
531
00:20:55.565 --> 00:20:56.685
'cause they were shortened on the front end,
532
00:20:56.685 --> 00:20:58.085
but then also lengthened on the back end.
533
00:20:58.085 --> 00:20:59.685
They probably were actually the exact amount
534
00:20:59.685 --> 00:21:01.165
of time I was supposed to be at each airport.
535
00:21:01.195 --> 00:21:03.605
Just in a way that made it kind of unmanageable.
536
00:21:07.585 --> 00:21:10.805
It reminded me. So I'm gonna have a little
537
00:21:10.805 --> 00:21:11.845
first world vent here.
538
00:21:12.145 --> 00:21:15.125
You you fly business class fairly often, right Jim?
539
00:21:15.725 --> 00:21:17.445
I get, I get some upgrades more than
540
00:21:17.485 --> 00:21:18.525
I should. Yeah. Yeah. Right.
541
00:21:19.105 --> 00:21:21.645
And you know, sometimes, especially on those long flights,
542
00:21:21.755 --> 00:21:25.445
like from LA to Indianapolis for example, there's a meal.
543
00:21:25.555 --> 00:21:27.165
Yeah. Right? Yeah.
544
00:21:27.185 --> 00:21:29.205
And look, those planes usually have like four
545
00:21:29.265 --> 00:21:30.685
or five rows of business classes.
546
00:21:30.755 --> 00:21:33.765
It's not like a ton of people. Right. Like it's whatever.
547
00:21:33.835 --> 00:21:36.965
Yeah. Yeah. Have you ever been in like row four or five
548
00:21:37.905 --> 00:21:40.165
and they start coming down and offering you the options
549
00:21:40.165 --> 00:21:41.405
and then by the time they get to you,
550
00:21:41.875 --> 00:21:43.125
They're out of the options
551
00:21:43.125 --> 00:21:44.445
and you're they're out one of whatever
552
00:21:44.445 --> 00:21:45.565
the terrible Yeah, yeah.
553
00:21:45.565 --> 00:21:47.605
You're stuck with the vegetarian option.
554
00:21:47.835 --> 00:21:48.925
Yeah. That
Yeah.
555
00:21:49.025 --> 00:21:53.405
So, so thi this happened when I was really hangry
556
00:21:54.065 --> 00:21:55.645
on one of these flights, this happened.
557
00:21:55.825 --> 00:21:58.205
What'd you get stuck with?
Well, this is, so first
558
00:21:58.205 --> 00:22:00.605
of all, they only had two options, which is fine.
559
00:22:00.605 --> 00:22:01.805
Like only two options.
560
00:22:01.855 --> 00:22:03.645
Again, guys, please, please keep this in
561
00:22:03.645 --> 00:22:04.845
a relative frame of mind here.
562
00:22:04.845 --> 00:22:07.765
Right. I'm not, I'm not bitching an absolution,
563
00:22:07.905 --> 00:22:11.445
I'm bitching in a very concentrated thing here.
564
00:22:12.385 --> 00:22:15.925
So the options were a chicken sandwich
565
00:22:16.345 --> 00:22:17.685
or a vegetarian sandwich,
566
00:22:18.135 --> 00:22:21.445
which is a very open-ended description.
567
00:22:22.625 --> 00:22:24.965
And I'm, I'm hangry. I just cannot wait to eat something.
568
00:22:25.945 --> 00:22:29.985
And they get to us and I, and I'm in the last row
569
00:22:30.805 --> 00:22:32.145
and they get to our row
570
00:22:32.285 --> 00:22:33.945
and like they start on the other side
571
00:22:33.945 --> 00:22:35.585
of the plane and they have options.
572
00:22:36.045 --> 00:22:37.145
And then when they get to me
573
00:22:37.145 --> 00:22:39.345
and the guy's sitting next to me, no more options.
574
00:22:39.445 --> 00:22:40.785
It is just a vegetarian sandwich.
575
00:22:41.485 --> 00:22:44.585
And I was just like, yeah, cool. Sounds good.
576
00:22:44.645 --> 00:22:46.145
And then in my head I'm like, okay,
577
00:22:47.485 --> 00:22:48.905
the cost of running an airplane
578
00:22:49.245 --> 00:22:50.985
At at least $12 a flight,
579
00:22:52.255 --> 00:22:53.585
It's, it's, I'm gonna guess
580
00:22:53.585 --> 00:22:56.825
that the bottom line on a flight from Minneapolis
581
00:22:56.845 --> 00:23:00.265
to Indianapolis or from Calgary rather to Minneapolis.
582
00:23:01.045 --> 00:23:04.665
Um, that having an extra two,
583
00:23:04.865 --> 00:23:07.145
'cause I'm pretty sure everybody took the chicken sandwich.
584
00:23:07.445 --> 00:23:11.905
Mm-hmm . So the added cost of having enough of the main meal
585
00:23:12.565 --> 00:23:17.265
for everyone to choose cannot be a, a bank breaking number.
586
00:23:17.475 --> 00:23:20.305
Right. I looked it up. Vegetarianism.
587
00:23:21.535 --> 00:23:23.555
6% of the population in the United States is
588
00:23:23.715 --> 00:23:25.075
vegetarian. Now, let's say, I
589
00:23:25.075 --> 00:23:26.355
Don't know if that feels low or high.
590
00:23:26.955 --> 00:23:28.395
I don't know. I just, I couldn't guess.
591
00:23:28.795 --> 00:23:30.915
I I was trying to figure out the percentages in this cabin
592
00:23:31.175 --> 00:23:33.355
and how they did their math and landed on the numbers.
593
00:23:33.355 --> 00:23:37.195
They did and I looked it up and this is what I was told.
594
00:23:37.195 --> 00:23:41.275
It was like six ish percent now fine, 6% are vegetarian
595
00:23:41.815 --> 00:23:43.835
and I'll even give you a couple extra.
596
00:23:43.995 --> 00:23:44.995
'cause sometimes people who aren't,
597
00:23:45.040 --> 00:23:46.605
aren't vegetarian just don't feel like eating
598
00:23:46.605 --> 00:23:47.765
meat at a given meal.
599
00:23:47.875 --> 00:23:49.365
Like he does that sometimes. Cool.
600
00:23:49.415 --> 00:23:51.045
Let's bump it all the way up to 10.
601
00:23:51.255 --> 00:23:53.525
Let's give you guys like an insane percentage
602
00:23:53.555 --> 00:23:55.285
more than you already have.
603
00:23:56.665 --> 00:23:58.885
It still doesn't add up. You should have enough food.
604
00:23:58.945 --> 00:24:01.205
You should only have 10% vegetarian meals if
605
00:24:01.205 --> 00:24:05.245
that's the population that eats vegetarian Also
606
00:24:05.265 --> 00:24:06.765
for the number of seed we're talking,
607
00:24:06.835 --> 00:24:08.485
just have enough chicken sandwiches for everybody.
608
00:24:08.795 --> 00:24:11.125
Just do that. Do we not do that? Yeah.
609
00:24:11.215 --> 00:24:12.805
Feels
Fair. Is that an unreasonable thing?
610
00:24:12.915 --> 00:24:13.925
Yeah, I
Got nothing. I
611
00:24:13.925 --> 00:24:15.405
don't wanna a rabbit at food sandwich. You know,
612
00:24:15.625 --> 00:24:16.625
You yeah, yeah.
613
00:24:16.625 --> 00:24:18.485
The vegetarian sandwich, the food your food eats to,
614
00:24:18.625 --> 00:24:20.965
to paraphrase Ron Swanson. So basically
615
00:24:20.985 --> 00:24:23.045
Now I just have to make sure everybody has
616
00:24:23.045 --> 00:24:26.045
to just make sure you're like sitting in row two so
617
00:24:26.045 --> 00:24:27.325
that way you can never get busted.
618
00:24:27.325 --> 00:24:29.445
Because it happens, you know, it happens when you're flying,
619
00:24:29.545 --> 00:24:31.765
you know, across the Atlantic to England
620
00:24:31.765 --> 00:24:33.965
and you're in row 37 and they come back
621
00:24:33.965 --> 00:24:35.685
and it's chicken, beef or pasta.
622
00:24:35.685 --> 00:24:37.965
And by the time they get back to row 37, the route
623
00:24:37.965 --> 00:24:39.885
of the pasta and you're stuck with chicken or beef.
624
00:24:40.195 --> 00:24:41.685
Like it's, I've had that before.
625
00:24:41.915 --> 00:24:44.165
This is not a business class thing. This is a plain thing.
626
00:24:44.315 --> 00:24:46.965
Whoever's in the back third of the, of the cabin,
627
00:24:47.525 --> 00:24:48.925
whatever cabin you're in, you're
628
00:24:48.925 --> 00:24:50.045
getting hosed on meal choices.
629
00:24:50.385 --> 00:24:51.405
And I don't respect that.
630
00:24:51.675 --> 00:24:56.285
Okay, well I want it known despite all of these very good
631
00:24:56.545 --> 00:24:58.165
but first world problem issues.
632
00:24:58.665 --> 00:25:00.605
I'm still going to title this episode.
633
00:25:01.175 --> 00:25:03.125
James ruins everything. I'm
634
00:25:03.125 --> 00:25:05.245
Not, I'm not entirely sure how we landed there.
635
00:25:06.115 --> 00:25:07.645
Well you didn't have to wake up at five
636
00:25:07.645 --> 00:25:08.885
15 for no reason, did you?
637
00:25:09.105 --> 00:25:11.605
No, but you didn't wake up at five 15 for me.
638
00:25:11.755 --> 00:25:14.325
Woke up for both of you. But I can't blame Ben. Well
639
00:25:14.325 --> 00:25:17.365
Yeah, but it but Alex set the original time. Yeah,
640
00:25:17.365 --> 00:25:19.205
But I can't blame Ben. Alex was off
641
00:25:19.345 --> 00:25:22.205
And, and because Alex also didn't make it.
642
00:25:22.205 --> 00:25:23.605
Whether I made it to the show
643
00:25:23.605 --> 00:25:25.205
or not was actually irrelevant.
644
00:25:25.545 --> 00:25:26.645
Oh my god. I know. We never even,
645
00:25:26.785 --> 00:25:27.845
we never even got to this part .
646
00:25:29.205 --> 00:25:30.605
I part too busy, busy bitching about food
647
00:25:31.135 --> 00:25:32.205
about why I slept in.
648
00:25:32.665 --> 00:25:36.565
Oh right.
So we keep getting delayed.
649
00:25:36.865 --> 00:25:39.045
So I ended up getting home at like one 30
650
00:25:39.105 --> 00:25:41.845
or whatever, tried to go to bed, set my alarm for eight,
651
00:25:42.045 --> 00:25:46.245
I think maybe I was pretty tired and woke up at seven
652
00:25:47.205 --> 00:25:48.205
'cause I always wake up at seven.
653
00:25:48.205 --> 00:25:50.045
Doesn't matter what time zone I'm in, I wake up at seven
654
00:25:51.305 --> 00:25:52.685
and it was light out and it was,
655
00:25:52.785 --> 00:25:54.005
I'm like, ah, I need this extra hours.
656
00:25:54.125 --> 00:25:55.405
I got home late, I'm really tired.
657
00:25:55.545 --> 00:25:59.045
Put my, I mask on, put sleep sounds on, went back to sleep.
658
00:25:59.415 --> 00:26:02.125
Becky has us on this kick of turning our phones
659
00:26:02.145 --> 00:26:04.325
to airplane mode when we sleep.
660
00:26:05.145 --> 00:26:06.205
And so I had done that
661
00:26:07.105 --> 00:26:08.845
and 'cause you know, like if you call a,
662
00:26:09.165 --> 00:26:10.365
A couple times, I wanna clarify why,
663
00:26:10.545 --> 00:26:12.365
why is it on, why? Oh
664
00:26:12.365 --> 00:26:14.445
Because I don't know, like radio
665
00:26:14.715 --> 00:26:16.165
signals next to your brain.
666
00:26:16.305 --> 00:26:18.205
Got it on your bedside table. Got it. Yeah.
667
00:26:18.205 --> 00:26:19.285
She's ignoring the fact that
668
00:26:19.285 --> 00:26:20.525
there's wifi throughout the whole
669
00:26:20.815 --> 00:26:21.815
World.
670
00:26:21.815 --> 00:26:22.445
And and when you put it on that,
671
00:26:22.465 --> 00:26:23.725
do you get rid of the Bluetooth?
672
00:26:23.725 --> 00:26:24.845
Do you turn Bluetooth off?
673
00:26:25.265 --> 00:26:27.165
No, WiFi's on Bluetooth's on everything
674
00:26:27.165 --> 00:26:28.165
Else on, got it, got it.
675
00:26:28.165 --> 00:26:29.725
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess it's got an Alexa in there
676
00:26:31.015 --> 00:26:32.965
Right next to the phone there's an Alexa. Yep, yep,
677
00:26:33.065 --> 00:26:34.065
Yep.
678
00:26:34.065 --> 00:26:35.245
With both Bluetooth and wifi capable.
679
00:26:35.315 --> 00:26:36.645
Yeah, yeah. Obviously. And then,
680
00:26:36.645 --> 00:26:39.445
and then the light bulbs in the lamps on both. Oh
681
00:26:39.445 --> 00:26:40.445
Yeah, the wifi.
682
00:26:40.445 --> 00:26:42.485
Those, those are, those are Bluetooth hooked up to Alexa
683
00:26:42.545 --> 00:26:43.545
As well.
684
00:26:43.545 --> 00:26:44.805
Mine too. Mine too, by the way. I'm not judging those.
685
00:26:45.145 --> 00:26:46.445
No, no, yes, no. Yes. Yeah, .
686
00:26:46.985 --> 00:26:49.165
Uh, so, so I had it on so,
687
00:26:49.245 --> 00:26:51.005
'cause you know if you call like three times in a row
688
00:26:51.005 --> 00:26:53.005
or something, even if it's on silent, it'll ring.
689
00:26:53.075 --> 00:26:55.685
Yeah. Well not if the cell service not airplane mode
690
00:26:55.685 --> 00:26:56.685
Is disconnected
Mode.
691
00:26:56.685 --> 00:26:57.885
Yeah, right. . So I'm on airplane mode
692
00:26:58.065 --> 00:27:02.725
and so I at, at about 10 something I just, I'm sleeping
693
00:27:02.785 --> 00:27:05.645
and I, my brain clocks that the rain sound
694
00:27:06.185 --> 00:27:07.485
on my phone stopped.
695
00:27:08.825 --> 00:27:10.845
And so I'm like, why did that happen?
696
00:27:10.985 --> 00:27:12.885
And so I reach over to grab my phone
697
00:27:12.885 --> 00:27:14.845
and it's Becky FaceTiming me and I look at the clock
698
00:27:14.845 --> 00:27:16.245
and it's like 10 20 or something.
699
00:27:17.145 --> 00:27:21.325
Oh boy. Because not only did I now completely blow
700
00:27:21.325 --> 00:27:24.005
through the show, uh, I was also supposed
701
00:27:24.005 --> 00:27:26.645
to have already picked up Sully who was being watched
702
00:27:26.745 --> 00:27:29.005
by our friends, Brian and Katie all weekend.
703
00:27:30.025 --> 00:27:32.925
So I had told Brian I was gonna be there at like 10.
704
00:27:33.225 --> 00:27:35.765
It was now 10 30. He was, he had to leave for a golf game.
705
00:27:36.965 --> 00:27:40.285
I had not left them enough food for Sally to have breakfast
706
00:27:40.445 --> 00:27:41.405
'cause I was gonna be picking 'em
707
00:27:41.405 --> 00:27:42.125
up first thing in the morning.
708
00:27:42.265 --> 00:27:45.965
So now my poor dog has been not fed breakfast.
709
00:27:46.115 --> 00:27:47.525
Brian's late for his golf game.
710
00:27:48.005 --> 00:27:50.205
I am just, I just feel terrible, you know,
711
00:27:50.205 --> 00:27:52.125
like you wake up with that panic. It's
712
00:27:52.125 --> 00:27:53.125
The worst.
713
00:27:53.125 --> 00:27:55.005
You disappointed so many people, so
714
00:27:55.005 --> 00:27:56.405
Many people so
Early in the day.
715
00:27:56.795 --> 00:27:59.925
He's incredible. Like
Incredible. Yeah.
716
00:28:00.635 --> 00:28:03.725
Well, um, glad you're not dead, I guess same.
717
00:28:03.885 --> 00:28:08.005
I mean, kind of. I'll meet you next time. , we .
718
00:28:08.985 --> 00:28:10.685
So we had this group chat going with Brian
719
00:28:10.685 --> 00:28:11.725
and Katie who are watching Sully
720
00:28:12.045 --> 00:28:14.565
'cause they've got a dog, Arthur and these two are just like
721
00:28:14.565 --> 00:28:16.605
best friends and they just play all day and whatever.
722
00:28:17.105 --> 00:28:18.845
And so we were just getting all these constant updates
723
00:28:19.545 --> 00:28:20.605
and pictures and stuff.
724
00:28:21.545 --> 00:28:23.445
And Katie kept sending us these pictures
725
00:28:23.445 --> 00:28:25.645
of like Sully cuddling her in bed.
726
00:28:26.385 --> 00:28:28.845
And Sully never does that like with us.
727
00:28:28.875 --> 00:28:31.485
Like Becky's trying so hard to get him to be a snuggler.
728
00:28:31.485 --> 00:28:33.285
And he is just like, he'll go to like your feet,
729
00:28:33.425 --> 00:28:34.605
but he won't like come.
730
00:28:34.625 --> 00:28:37.085
And like Weller used to just like lay on top of you,
731
00:28:37.085 --> 00:28:38.125
which is like a teddy bear.
732
00:28:38.945 --> 00:28:42.325
And so she, she's like sending all these pictures
733
00:28:42.325 --> 00:28:43.285
and Becky's like, oh my God,
734
00:28:43.285 --> 00:28:44.325
he doesn't snuggle us like that.
735
00:28:44.325 --> 00:28:45.605
What's going on? Blah, blah, blah, blah.
736
00:28:46.225 --> 00:28:48.965
And then, and then, uh, Katie's like, yeah, we're heading
737
00:28:48.965 --> 00:28:51.645
to bed early, just getting ready for that 5:00 AM wake up.
738
00:28:52.545 --> 00:28:54.045
And Becky and I were like, oh my God,
739
00:28:54.045 --> 00:28:55.885
he's not waking you up at 5:00 AM is he?
740
00:28:56.345 --> 00:28:58.485
And she's like, no, no. But sometimes he'll like, get up
741
00:28:58.485 --> 00:28:59.765
and he'll come up to the side of the bed
742
00:28:59.765 --> 00:29:01.965
and like, nudge you a little bit or just look at you
743
00:29:02.025 --> 00:29:03.085
and then, you know, whatever.
744
00:29:03.985 --> 00:29:05.885
And Becky was like, oh yeah, when he does that,
745
00:29:05.885 --> 00:29:07.165
just yell at him to go back to his bed.
746
00:29:07.205 --> 00:29:08.525
I mean, I throw pillows at him sometimes
747
00:29:08.625 --> 00:29:11.645
and I was just like, gee, that he doesn't love calling
748
00:29:11.645 --> 00:29:12.645
You .
749
00:29:12.645 --> 00:29:13.555
Yeah, .
750
00:29:18.665 --> 00:29:21.165
So I thi I feel like there might be, it is if
751
00:29:21.165 --> 00:29:22.565
You get, if you get a taser
752
00:29:22.785 --> 00:29:25.085
and you sleep with it on the bedside table,
753
00:29:25.585 --> 00:29:27.045
but no wifi. Um,
754
00:29:27.325 --> 00:29:29.245
I don't wear belts, but I mean I keep 'em
755
00:29:29.245 --> 00:29:31.885
beside the bed just so that I can, you know,
756
00:29:31.885 --> 00:29:33.085
when he is really acting up.
757
00:29:33.085 --> 00:29:34.725
And by that I mean looking at you adorable
758
00:29:34.875 --> 00:29:35.965
with these big brown eyes.
759
00:29:35.965 --> 00:29:37.045
Just wanting to say hi.
760
00:29:37.185 --> 00:29:38.765
So yeah, I think there's gonna be a new
761
00:29:39.165 --> 00:29:40.485
strategy, uh, moving forward.
762
00:29:41.115 --> 00:29:44.205
Well, solid excuse. I promise I won't name this episode.
763
00:29:44.205 --> 00:29:46.125
James ruins everything. Just
764
00:29:46.125 --> 00:29:47.285
James ruins some things.
765
00:29:47.865 --> 00:29:49.685
No, it's gonna be James ruins everything. Oh,
766
00:29:49.745 --> 00:29:50.745
God dammit.
767
00:29:51.115 --> 00:29:54.125
dude. Uh, all right, well in the, I don't know,
768
00:29:54.125 --> 00:29:55.125
eight minutes we have left.
769
00:29:55.125 --> 00:29:56.685
Should we talk about the race this weekend?
770
00:29:57.185 --> 00:29:58.765
Uh, sure we can do that.
771
00:29:58.945 --> 00:30:01.165
Uh, we're going back to Gateway, uh,
772
00:30:01.395 --> 00:30:03.925
last year at Gateway did not end super well
773
00:30:03.945 --> 00:30:07.165
for old Alejandro, so he's gonna be hoping for a bit
774
00:30:07.165 --> 00:30:08.325
of a, a stronger run.
775
00:30:09.515 --> 00:30:11.885
It's a place that, like, we have a few guys
776
00:30:11.885 --> 00:30:13.525
that just are random, not randomly,
777
00:30:13.545 --> 00:30:17.125
but like a few guys perform exceptionally well there.
778
00:30:17.585 --> 00:30:19.925
The obvious one is Joseph, he's won it five times,
779
00:30:19.995 --> 00:30:21.085
including last year
780
00:30:21.215 --> 00:30:23.605
after spinning off of two and still winning the race.
781
00:30:24.545 --> 00:30:28.895
Um, David Lucas, he got podiums
782
00:30:29.505 --> 00:30:32.095
there in, uh, two years with Dale Coin
783
00:30:32.235 --> 00:30:35.415
and was fighting for the lead essentially last year when he
784
00:30:35.415 --> 00:30:37.615
and Will had some contact and he ended up crashing out.
785
00:30:38.415 --> 00:30:39.735
Connor always runs really well there.
786
00:30:40.835 --> 00:30:44.095
Um, McLaughlin runs really well there.
787
00:30:44.985 --> 00:30:48.765
Uh, he's actually got the highest average finish of drivers
788
00:30:48.795 --> 00:30:51.925
with at least four starts, which is funny considering
789
00:30:52.565 --> 00:30:54.285
Joseph's one, like five of nine.
790
00:30:54.345 --> 00:30:56.005
But he is obviously had some DNFs
791
00:30:56.005 --> 00:30:57.485
or something to bring that average down.
792
00:30:58.825 --> 00:31:00.605
So yeah, those are, you know, if you're a,
793
00:31:00.605 --> 00:31:04.645
if you're a gambling man or woman, uh, Joseph's a good bet.
794
00:31:05.145 --> 00:31:07.645
Uh, Connor's a good bet. McLaughlin's a good bet.
795
00:31:07.805 --> 00:31:09.565
Lucas is a good bet. I think Rossi's gonna have a good one.
796
00:31:09.565 --> 00:31:11.725
So Rossi's a good bet. So's your five.
797
00:31:12.595 --> 00:31:16.205
Make sure you get your grid rival, uh,
798
00:31:17.185 --> 00:31:19.355
fantasy lineup set and ready to
799
00:31:19.355 --> 00:31:20.355
Go.
800
00:31:20.355 --> 00:31:20.475
Oh yeah. Are you winning on that?
801
00:31:22.175 --> 00:31:26.115
So I was winning the Fox one, the Fox team thing
802
00:31:26.245 --> 00:31:28.755
after Indie, well, Sunday
803
00:31:28.765 --> 00:31:30.795
after Indie, I was winning the Fox one.
804
00:31:31.295 --> 00:31:33.195
By Monday I was no longer winning
805
00:31:33.265 --> 00:31:35.155
because the results were adjusted
806
00:31:35.255 --> 00:31:37.675
for the adjustment in the actual results of the race.
807
00:31:38.335 --> 00:31:40.955
So that, uh, that hurt me in that one. Okay.
808
00:31:41.415 --> 00:31:43.675
Um, so bummed about that in my,
809
00:31:43.675 --> 00:31:46.355
in the Hinch town hammer down league, I've moved up.
810
00:31:46.635 --> 00:31:49.395
I I actually am doing not terrible.
811
00:31:49.575 --> 00:31:54.195
I'm like a hundred and 50th out of like a couple.
812
00:31:54.645 --> 00:31:56.075
Let's see, let's see where we're at. Hang on.
813
00:31:56.255 --> 00:31:57.315
Did you, did you do one?
814
00:31:58.145 --> 00:32:02.875
Yeah, I'm 130 second, 130 second out of 1800,
815
00:32:03.205 --> 00:32:04.875
which isn't bad 'cause one week I forgot
816
00:32:04.875 --> 00:32:05.915
to set my, my line up.
817
00:32:05.915 --> 00:32:09.195
But I'm, I'm still, I'm, I'm, I'm confident about,
818
00:32:09.335 --> 00:32:10.635
uh, about the Fox one.
819
00:32:10.655 --> 00:32:12.395
I'm gonna rally, I'm gonna rally a comeback on that.
820
00:32:12.935 --> 00:32:16.195
Um, but yeah, night race, which I'm excited about.
821
00:32:16.665 --> 00:32:19.395
Yeah, that'll be great. I'm, I, I always love night races
822
00:32:19.395 --> 00:32:21.755
and I'm so glad to see one pack on the schedule.
823
00:32:21.915 --> 00:32:24.315
I, I missed Phoenix when it was dark.
824
00:32:24.345 --> 00:32:25.955
That was always fun. Yeah. Yeah.
825
00:32:26.355 --> 00:32:28.115
I mean, I don't, 'cause it was a bad race,
826
00:32:28.175 --> 00:32:29.995
but it was fun doing night races.
827
00:32:30.055 --> 00:32:31.235
It was, it was fun to be there
828
00:32:31.235 --> 00:32:33.795
and it looked, just looked so cool. Uh,
829
00:32:33.955 --> 00:32:35.075
I was a night race at a time.
830
00:32:35.075 --> 00:32:36.075
That was always fun. Yeah.
831
00:32:36.655 --> 00:32:40.525
Uh, what do you think it is about this track that suits,
832
00:32:41.355 --> 00:32:43.365
like I know Newgarden, yeah, new garden's always good
833
00:32:43.365 --> 00:32:44.805
with ovals, so it kinda makes sense,
834
00:32:44.805 --> 00:32:46.805
but he seems particularly good at the short ovals.
835
00:32:46.875 --> 00:32:48.845
What, what is it about that that suits him
836
00:32:48.845 --> 00:32:50.765
and suits Connor and that kind of thing? Well,
837
00:32:51.085 --> 00:32:53.605
I, I think, I think Joseph's just good at short ovals
838
00:32:53.605 --> 00:32:56.245
because there are a few things about short ovals that are
839
00:32:57.155 --> 00:32:59.485
universal and you sort of need to have
840
00:32:59.625 --> 00:33:00.805
to be good at any of 'em.
841
00:33:01.085 --> 00:33:03.165
Milwaukee, Iowa Gateway, Phoenix, whatever.
842
00:33:04.065 --> 00:33:07.085
But I think why you see a few more guys stand out at Gateway
843
00:33:07.565 --> 00:33:10.125
specifically is Gateway is a lot kind
844
00:33:10.125 --> 00:33:12.005
of like Phoenix was in the sense that one end
845
00:33:12.005 --> 00:33:15.325
of the racetrack is so different from the other Milwaukee.
846
00:33:15.555 --> 00:33:18.445
It's not that different. Iowa, it's not that different.
847
00:33:18.835 --> 00:33:21.045
Even when we raced at places like Loudoun, not
848
00:33:21.045 --> 00:33:23.965
that different, but Phoenix again,
849
00:33:23.965 --> 00:33:26.445
Phoenix is always a bad race, but Phoenix and
850
00:33:26.445 --> 00:33:27.685
and Gateway are similar in that.
851
00:33:27.755 --> 00:33:30.205
Like one and two are a completely different radius,
852
00:33:30.275 --> 00:33:33.565
different speed, different banking than three and four
853
00:33:34.065 --> 00:33:36.285
and you set up the car for one end,
854
00:33:36.285 --> 00:33:38.245
it's gonna feel terrible at the other and vice versa.
855
00:33:38.865 --> 00:33:40.285
So it's really the driver
856
00:33:40.545 --> 00:33:44.125
and the team that get the car kind of the most okay-ish
857
00:33:44.385 --> 00:33:47.045
or at least are more comfortable
858
00:33:47.155 --> 00:33:49.125
with a less comfortable balance at
859
00:33:49.125 --> 00:33:50.165
one end of the track or the other.
860
00:33:50.575 --> 00:33:54.845
Right? So if you don't mind being a little bit free in three
861
00:33:54.865 --> 00:33:56.725
and four, if you're comfortable with that,
862
00:33:57.115 --> 00:33:59.565
then you're gonna have less under steer in one
863
00:33:59.565 --> 00:34:00.725
and two and be stronger there.
864
00:34:01.265 --> 00:34:03.765
Or if again, you need a planted in three and four,
865
00:34:03.945 --> 00:34:06.165
but you're comfortable maybe going a little bit higher in
866
00:34:06.165 --> 00:34:07.925
one and two in traffic to get some clean air
867
00:34:07.925 --> 00:34:10.405
and dial out some of that under steer, then you're gonna be,
868
00:34:10.625 --> 00:34:11.925
you know, you're gonna be quick there.
869
00:34:11.985 --> 00:34:15.285
So I think it's something about the, the drivers
870
00:34:15.315 --> 00:34:16.765
that are comfortable having those
871
00:34:16.765 --> 00:34:18.005
kind of different balances.
872
00:34:18.705 --> 00:34:22.045
Um, and you know, again, what we're doing this weekend,
873
00:34:22.045 --> 00:34:23.965
which we did last year to such success
874
00:34:24.025 --> 00:34:26.765
and I give IndyCar so much credit for it as we're doing
875
00:34:26.765 --> 00:34:27.965
that Highline session again.
876
00:34:28.465 --> 00:34:30.725
So everybody's gotta go run around in that second lane.
877
00:34:31.005 --> 00:34:33.405
'cause it, it made the race so much better last year.
878
00:34:34.305 --> 00:34:39.085
And uh, and yeah, now we're doing it again proper, uh,
879
00:34:39.625 --> 00:34:40.925
proper nighttime race.
880
00:34:40.975 --> 00:34:44.845
8:00 PM is the start time. 8:00 PM Al Fox.
881
00:34:46.035 --> 00:34:48.045
Okay.
Will be, it'll be Eastern time by the way.
882
00:34:48.245 --> 00:34:50.885
I kind of, I kind of hope, uh, you know,
883
00:34:51.005 --> 00:34:53.045
I obviously want Alex to win everything,
884
00:34:53.045 --> 00:34:55.005
but if he doesn't, I kind of hope Scotty Mack wins.
885
00:34:55.245 --> 00:34:57.205
'cause I want a new dad to win on Father's Day.
886
00:34:57.865 --> 00:35:00.485
Oh, there you go. Oh, it's father. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
887
00:35:00.825 --> 00:35:03.965
New dad to win on Father's Day. Fellow girl Dad. Yeah.
888
00:35:04.045 --> 00:35:05.925
I found again, he's got the best finishing average,
889
00:35:06.465 --> 00:35:08.125
uh, of people there.
890
00:35:08.465 --> 00:35:10.645
So, dude, there was this stat though,
891
00:35:11.065 --> 00:35:13.285
I'm gonna bring this back up to Alex next time he decides
892
00:35:13.285 --> 00:35:14.845
to join us for the show, but
893
00:35:15.805 --> 00:35:17.325
September probably
Let's
894
00:35:17.325 --> 00:35:18.965
not, I don't wanna get ahead of ourselves. We don't know
895
00:35:19.035 --> 00:35:21.005
When Ben goes to college, when Ben
896
00:35:21.005 --> 00:35:22.005
Goes .
897
00:35:22.015 --> 00:35:24.765
There was a, it was brought up how,
898
00:35:24.785 --> 00:35:28.845
how Scotty Max got a great finishing average for at least
899
00:35:29.455 --> 00:35:32.645
three starts at Gateway, or at least four starts, I think.
900
00:35:32.665 --> 00:35:36.045
So in four starts, 3.5 is his finishing average.
901
00:35:36.385 --> 00:35:40.645
So then our stats guru, Russ Thompson decided to look at
902
00:35:41.345 --> 00:35:45.885
all the tracks where drivers had strong averages
903
00:35:47.545 --> 00:35:49.925
and of at least three starts
904
00:35:51.665 --> 00:35:54.825
in the top eight examples
905
00:35:54.825 --> 00:35:56.665
where a driver's got a high finishing average
906
00:35:56.735 --> 00:35:58.265
with at least three starts at a track.
907
00:35:58.935 --> 00:36:00.385
Alex Pallo is five of them.
908
00:36:03.575 --> 00:36:04.905
four starts. So we're just gonna go back,
909
00:36:05.315 --> 00:36:07.225
we're just going back below. Yeah.
910
00:36:07.815 --> 00:36:10.265
Four. You can't have a week on an IndyCar ish podcast
911
00:36:10.365 --> 00:36:12.665
and not talk about four starts.
912
00:36:12.905 --> 00:36:14.265
I I meant the race, not us .
913
00:36:15.325 --> 00:36:16.545
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fair.
914
00:36:16.615 --> 00:36:17.625
He's probably gonna win this one.
915
00:36:17.885 --> 00:36:20.905
So, uh, in four starts at Portland,
916
00:36:21.045 --> 00:36:24.745
his average finish is fourth in three starts at Toronto.
917
00:36:24.765 --> 00:36:29.185
His average finish is fourth in five, starts at Long Beach.
918
00:36:29.245 --> 00:36:31.305
His average finish is 3.4
919
00:36:32.805 --> 00:36:34.545
in five starts at Barber.
920
00:36:34.965 --> 00:36:37.265
His average finish is 2.8.
921
00:36:38.485 --> 00:36:42.305
And in four starts at Laguna. His average finish is 1.75.
922
00:36:42.565 --> 00:36:44.425
Checks out
Ridiculous.
923
00:36:45.095 --> 00:36:46.505
Yeah.
Other one's on the list.
924
00:36:46.505 --> 00:36:51.185
Colton Herda at Toronto, 3.25 McLaughlin at Gateway 3.5
925
00:36:51.325 --> 00:36:55.225
and Kirkwood at the new Detroit Street Track
926
00:36:55.915 --> 00:36:58.585
3.67.
927
00:36:58.965 --> 00:37:00.505
So Alex Poe also a good bet
928
00:37:00.505 --> 00:37:01.865
for this weekend if that's what you're into.
929
00:37:02.605 --> 00:37:05.425
Eh, I don't know. Does he ever win?
930
00:37:06.555 --> 00:37:10.295
Nah. Um, also
931
00:37:11.045 --> 00:37:13.495
something happened, I don't even remember what it was.
932
00:37:13.845 --> 00:37:15.935
Something happened last week after the race
933
00:37:15.995 --> 00:37:17.015
or something, I don't know.
934
00:37:17.355 --> 00:37:19.975
But somebody did some like obnoxious tweet
935
00:37:19.975 --> 00:37:21.415
and tagged a bunch of drivers in it.
936
00:37:21.795 --> 00:37:22.935
And we've talked about this before.
937
00:37:23.235 --> 00:37:24.575
It lit up a whole fan group.
938
00:37:25.355 --> 00:37:27.515
And I don't think,
939
00:37:27.515 --> 00:37:29.115
I don't even think he was attacking the drivers.
940
00:37:29.475 --> 00:37:30.595
I think it was just like one of these,
941
00:37:30.595 --> 00:37:32.035
he wanted to be heard or something.
942
00:37:32.775 --> 00:37:35.675
And so the fan, like all these fans started going at him
943
00:37:35.815 --> 00:37:36.995
and he started fighting back.
944
00:37:37.095 --> 00:37:38.475
And so it was like three
945
00:37:38.495 --> 00:37:40.795
or four people just having this constant back
946
00:37:40.795 --> 00:37:43.035
and forth on Twitter about this one thing.
947
00:37:43.035 --> 00:37:44.995
And they have completely po Please un
948
00:37:45.055 --> 00:37:46.155
us, please stop doing that.
949
00:37:47.325 --> 00:37:50.075
don't, if you're gonna, if you're gonna go back
950
00:37:50.075 --> 00:37:51.755
and forth, I don't, we don't care.
951
00:37:52.155 --> 00:37:54.155
I promise you. We don't care. And it just
952
00:37:54.155 --> 00:37:55.275
makes, it just makes people angry.
953
00:37:55.575 --> 00:37:56.955
If you're, if you're, that's,
954
00:37:56.955 --> 00:37:58.315
that's not just us, that's anybody.
955
00:37:58.455 --> 00:38:01.035
If you are bad at a person in a Twitter exchange,
956
00:38:01.305 --> 00:38:03.715
just respond to that one person. Let's not
957
00:38:03.735 --> 00:38:04.735
Try anyone else.
958
00:38:04.735 --> 00:38:05.875
I mean, they tagged you. I'm
959
00:38:05.875 --> 00:38:07.475
gonna look up whatever this was. They
960
00:38:07.475 --> 00:38:08.475
Tagged me.
961
00:38:08.475 --> 00:38:09.235
I don't remember who else was in it.
962
00:38:09.345 --> 00:38:12.355
This was maybe, yeah, it was after the race last week.
963
00:38:12.695 --> 00:38:14.355
Oh, I don't care enough. I'm not gonna do that.
964
00:38:14.575 --> 00:38:15.635
I'm also not gonna go back and
965
00:38:15.635 --> 00:38:16.635
Do it all.
966
00:38:16.635 --> 00:38:20.315
Well, thanks for finally getting up to do this. Yeah. Today.
967
00:38:20.545 --> 00:38:22.195
Yeah. I figured it was
Worthwhile.
968
00:38:24.295 --> 00:38:25.715
We should have changed shirts.
969
00:38:26.075 --> 00:38:27.275
I did think about that afterwards,
970
00:38:27.455 --> 00:38:29.835
but then I also don't care
971
00:38:29.905 --> 00:38:30.905
That much.
972
00:38:30.905 --> 00:38:33.235
That's fair. I am, I am in pajamas still.
973
00:38:33.575 --> 00:38:34.635
See you have no excuse.
974
00:38:34.735 --> 00:38:36.445
It is two o'clock in the afternoon there.
975
00:38:36.595 --> 00:38:38.725
This is, I work from home. Yeah.
976
00:38:38.905 --> 00:38:41.525
But I feel like you work how you dress,
977
00:38:42.295 --> 00:38:45.045
which is why this was a sloppy episode from both of us. ,
