00:00:00.195 --> 00:00:01.485
This is off track.
2
00:00:02.775 --> 00:00:05.285
Hello and welcome to Tuesday's off track
3
00:00:05.285 --> 00:00:06.925
with Hin Rossi. And this is
4
00:00:06.925 --> 00:00:07.925
A Tim, a warning robe.
5
00:00:08.335 --> 00:00:09.365
Tim's in a, Tim's a rope.
6
00:00:09.425 --> 00:00:10.645
And this is a warning to the people
7
00:00:10.645 --> 00:00:12.325
that don't like hearing people eat stuff.
8
00:00:12.955 --> 00:00:14.565
Alex is almost done his cereal.
9
00:00:15.985 --> 00:00:17.125
I'm done. Okay.
10
00:00:17.155 --> 00:00:20.045
Give it 12 seconds. I was gonna say like
11
00:00:20.595 --> 00:00:22.965
What you do eat quickly.
12
00:00:23.315 --> 00:00:24.645
What, uh, what cereal are you eating?
13
00:00:24.665 --> 00:00:26.205
What's a GoTo cereal for you?
14
00:00:26.615 --> 00:00:28.915
Honey Nut Cheerios.
Solid.
15
00:00:29.175 --> 00:00:31.355
I'd have taken you as a CT Crunch guy.
16
00:00:31.355 --> 00:00:33.795
Dude, I don't eat as a what? Hap Captain Crunch Cinnamon.
17
00:00:33.895 --> 00:00:36.195
No. Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
I don't like that either.
18
00:00:37.135 --> 00:00:39.755
Oh, dude, I , I love Cinnamon Toast
19
00:00:39.755 --> 00:00:41.075
Crunch in an unhealthy way.
20
00:00:41.215 --> 00:00:42.315
No, which is why I don't eat it.
21
00:00:42.435 --> 00:00:46.075
I, I, oh, sour Patch gets all over again. I
22
00:00:46.075 --> 00:00:47.995
Was just, I was waiting. I teed that up
23
00:00:48.015 --> 00:00:49.015
For you.
24
00:00:49.015 --> 00:00:52.515
So I, uh, we,
25
00:00:52.515 --> 00:00:53.675
we've, we've talked about this before.
26
00:00:53.705 --> 00:00:55.275
It's been on probably a hundred episodes or so,
27
00:00:55.375 --> 00:01:00.315
but like breakfast, breakfast foods that are
28
00:01:00.315 --> 00:01:01.555
that level are just dessert
29
00:01:01.655 --> 00:01:03.875
and like, I don't feel okay eating that.
30
00:01:04.755 --> 00:01:06.595
Cheerios are pretty much dessert as well.
31
00:01:06.615 --> 00:01:08.275
But I feel like there's some,
32
00:01:08.785 --> 00:01:10.515
they're on the edge, right? You can't,
33
00:01:10.645 --> 00:01:13.515
Can't see the sugar on top, top of the square. Right.
34
00:01:13.625 --> 00:01:17.435
Like Oreo os, lucky Charms, captain Crunch, CIN Toast.
35
00:01:17.545 --> 00:01:18.915
Come on. That's not breakfast. Yeah.
36
00:01:18.915 --> 00:01:21.475
That's not part of a well-balanced diet. Shut
37
00:01:21.475 --> 00:01:22.475
Up.
38
00:01:22.475 --> 00:01:23.915
As say, I don't know. Every commercial I've ever heard has
39
00:01:23.915 --> 00:01:25.395
said this is part of a balanced breakfast.
40
00:01:26.135 --> 00:01:30.355
So are you telling me they lied to me in ads? Alex,
41
00:01:31.115 --> 00:01:34.195
I am telling you, they lied to you in ad Speaking of ads,
42
00:01:34.385 --> 00:01:36.475
guys we're coming off the Super Bowl.
43
00:01:37.255 --> 00:01:41.475
Mm-hmm . Um, super Bowl's, known for its commercials. James.
44
00:01:41.475 --> 00:01:44.515
Mm-hmm . I know you watched Tim. I know you probably didn't.
45
00:01:45.355 --> 00:01:46.355
I had it on on my planes.
46
00:01:46.505 --> 00:01:47.875
What, what were your top three?
47
00:01:48.495 --> 00:01:49.875
Uh, super Bowl commercials.
48
00:01:50.035 --> 00:01:53.275
'cause I have mine and it's pretty clear cut for me.
49
00:01:53.415 --> 00:01:56.035
Um, I would, I'm I I'd be lying if I
50
00:01:56.035 --> 00:01:57.115
said I caught them all.
51
00:01:57.825 --> 00:02:01.195
Okay.
I think we should set aside the Cadillac, uh,
52
00:02:01.295 --> 00:02:02.875
livery reveal, because I think we should
53
00:02:03.035 --> 00:02:04.075
probably get into that separately.
54
00:02:04.705 --> 00:02:06.275
Well, I wasn't, I wouldn't say
55
00:02:06.275 --> 00:02:08.515
that was gonna be in my top three anyways. Well, that's
56
00:02:08.765 --> 00:02:11.075
Maybe part of why I was saying let's set it aside.
57
00:02:11.385 --> 00:02:13.595
Okay.
Um,
58
00:02:14.735 --> 00:02:15.755
It wasn't my top three.
59
00:02:15.795 --> 00:02:16.915
I liked the JFK stuff.
60
00:02:17.385 --> 00:02:20.475
Dude. What? And have you seen the full minute video? No.
61
00:02:20.475 --> 00:02:21.755
No. It's way cooler. Like it's,
62
00:02:21.855 --> 00:02:23.395
to actually see the whole thing is like
63
00:02:23.395 --> 00:02:24.435
they did a really good job on it.
64
00:02:24.695 --> 00:02:29.075
Uh, so that yes. Would've been in there. Um, oh man.
65
00:02:29.345 --> 00:02:31.075
Alex, why don't you go first? 'cause I need help.
66
00:02:31.195 --> 00:02:32.715
I need you to jog my memory on some.
67
00:02:32.875 --> 00:02:35.115
I know that Sophia Vega was in like eight
68
00:02:35.115 --> 00:02:36.835
commercials, which was a lot.
69
00:02:37.135 --> 00:02:40.275
Um, all right, well, so number one without a doubt,
70
00:02:40.615 --> 00:02:43.035
the latest Budweiser commercial. Incredible.
71
00:02:43.615 --> 00:02:45.715
Um, is that what the, the horse and the eagle? Yeah.
72
00:02:45.905 --> 00:02:48.475
Like just, yeah,
That was pretty solid. Fantastic.
73
00:02:48.475 --> 00:02:49.915
That one picture, like when it's jumping
74
00:02:50.135 --> 00:02:51.315
and then the Yeah, that is,
75
00:02:51.315 --> 00:02:54.555
that was cinematography. That is, that was good.
76
00:02:54.655 --> 00:02:59.075
Is that is the, um, number two? Yeah, sorry.
77
00:02:59.165 --> 00:03:00.245
Okay. Okay. No, no.
78
00:03:00.785 --> 00:03:03.645
Uh, I saw the, the Dunkin one that like, throw, throw,
79
00:03:03.695 --> 00:03:05.045
threw back to like every,
80
00:03:05.555 --> 00:03:06.555
That was my number show.
81
00:03:06.595 --> 00:03:08.165
Yeah. That was my number. That one was
82
00:03:08.165 --> 00:03:09.165
Great.
83
00:03:09.165 --> 00:03:10.605
And old tamp Tommy was in there.
84
00:03:10.705 --> 00:03:13.725
So , uh, it is a special place in my heart, um, for
85
00:03:13.725 --> 00:03:15.925
that one, but no, Dunkin Duncan killed it with that one.
86
00:03:16.065 --> 00:03:19.365
And then number three, um, was Pepsi.
87
00:03:19.835 --> 00:03:21.925
Because, you know, we've had the,
88
00:03:21.945 --> 00:03:24.045
the Pepsi Coke Wars for a long time.
89
00:03:24.605 --> 00:03:26.725
I feel like it kind of disappeared for a little bit.
90
00:03:27.205 --> 00:03:28.685
I don't know if you caught this one, James,
91
00:03:28.785 --> 00:03:31.205
but you know, the Coca-Cola mascot is
92
00:03:31.225 --> 00:03:32.365
the big polar bear, right?
93
00:03:32.365 --> 00:03:36.445
The bear, yeah. So it was essentially the polar bear was
94
00:03:36.515 --> 00:03:38.525
blindfolded and was doing a blind taste test
95
00:03:38.525 --> 00:03:40.605
between Pepsi Zero and Coke Zero.
96
00:03:41.115 --> 00:03:43.725
Okay. And
It shows Pepsi Zero. Right. Right.
97
00:03:43.725 --> 00:03:45.525
And then it's the whole sequence of events
98
00:03:45.555 --> 00:03:47.325
that fall along after that, including
99
00:03:47.325 --> 00:03:48.365
The cold play concert,
100
00:03:48.715 --> 00:03:49.845
Including the reference,
101
00:03:49.845 --> 00:03:51.325
the Coldplay concert reference where
102
00:03:52.235 --> 00:03:53.235
Nice.
103
00:03:53.235 --> 00:03:56.245
Yes. Um, he got caught Right.
104
00:03:56.335 --> 00:03:58.845
Doing something he shouldn't be. Um, right.
105
00:03:58.985 --> 00:04:00.205
So I thought that was cool
106
00:04:00.205 --> 00:04:01.765
because A, it brought back the,
107
00:04:01.765 --> 00:04:05.685
like the rivalry b the Coldplay kind of thing was awesome.
108
00:04:05.745 --> 00:04:08.565
And then just animated teddy bears. Polar bears, yeah.
109
00:04:08.825 --> 00:04:09.885
Are cool. Everybody
110
00:04:09.885 --> 00:04:10.885
Wins.
111
00:04:10.885 --> 00:04:11.765
You. Can you imagine those? That
112
00:04:11.765 --> 00:04:12.765
Was my top three.
113
00:04:12.825 --> 00:04:14.485
You're, you're so bad
114
00:04:14.865 --> 00:04:16.165
At having an affair
115
00:04:16.675 --> 00:04:18.925
that there's a Super Bowl commercial about it.
116
00:04:19.425 --> 00:04:21.765
The best. Like I was just thinking the fact that they are
117
00:04:21.795 --> 00:04:24.085
that much part of like the zeitgeist now.
118
00:04:24.115 --> 00:04:25.925
Like Hmm. That's a rough, well, that,
119
00:04:26.035 --> 00:04:29.845
That the lady is now, so she obviously got fired
120
00:04:30.105 --> 00:04:32.485
or she resigned or whatever you wanna call it.
121
00:04:32.485 --> 00:04:34.165
Right. She no longer works there,
122
00:04:35.025 --> 00:04:38.085
but I saw she got paid like six figures
123
00:04:38.145 --> 00:04:42.205
to go give like a Ted talk somewhere about like, oh,
124
00:04:42.235 --> 00:04:44.765
what about like redefining yourself
125
00:04:44.775 --> 00:04:47.285
after struggles just
126
00:04:47.285 --> 00:04:49.205
Like, Hey man, it's a good PR spin. Good
127
00:04:49.205 --> 00:04:50.485
Honor, I guess. I guess,
128
00:04:50.785 --> 00:04:53.725
Um, the other one that I liked was, um, the one
129
00:04:53.725 --> 00:04:56.325
with Matthew McConaughey and um,
130
00:04:57.025 --> 00:04:59.285
Oh, uh, uh, the other attractive guy.
131
00:04:59.755 --> 00:05:03.205
Yeah.
Um, um, Bradley Cooper. Boy.
132
00:05:03.815 --> 00:05:05.165
Thank you. Yes. Yeah, that one
133
00:05:05.165 --> 00:05:06.165
Was pretty good.
134
00:05:06.165 --> 00:05:07.085
Uber Eats Uber Eats. Yeah. No.
135
00:05:07.085 --> 00:05:10.845
So during that, Kelly was like, how old are these dudes?
136
00:05:10.845 --> 00:05:12.245
Right? Because she was like, man, they're,
137
00:05:12.635 --> 00:05:13.765
they're nice to look at.
138
00:05:14.105 --> 00:05:17.325
And Bradley Cooper's like 52 and McConaughey is like 56
139
00:05:17.985 --> 00:05:20.805
and she's like, man, we, we have so much life left to live.
140
00:05:21.355 --> 00:05:22.805
It's like, yeah. I mean,
141
00:05:23.395 --> 00:05:25.765
Were you, was she worried that you guys were running out?
142
00:05:26.565 --> 00:05:29.005
I don't know. I think she just in her mind thought like,
143
00:05:29.005 --> 00:05:30.045
50 year olds are old
144
00:05:30.505 --> 00:05:33.405
and then she saw that you can still be attractive
145
00:05:33.465 --> 00:05:35.365
and fit at 50 plus.
146
00:05:35.745 --> 00:05:37.365
You sure can. There's a lot
147
00:05:37.365 --> 00:05:38.845
of great examples of that in Hollywood.
148
00:05:38.945 --> 00:05:41.245
Yes. Yes. Uh, and and beyond.
149
00:05:41.265 --> 00:05:42.365
It doesn't just have to be in Hollywood.
150
00:05:42.585 --> 00:05:44.125
But yeah, those guys are doing great for themselves.
151
00:05:44.185 --> 00:05:46.125
And like, I gotta be honest,
152
00:05:46.285 --> 00:05:48.725
I don't think Matthew McConaughey's the type that like
153
00:05:49.405 --> 00:05:52.575
goes out of his way to take super good care of, like,
154
00:05:52.845 --> 00:05:54.575
like his lifestyle choices
155
00:05:55.205 --> 00:05:56.695
seem like pretty normal, you know?
156
00:05:56.695 --> 00:05:59.965
Mm-hmm . He's not like sleeping in cryo chambers. No.
157
00:06:00.065 --> 00:06:03.765
And you know, only eating organic vegan,
158
00:06:04.055 --> 00:06:06.045
grown on the moon kind of stuff.
159
00:06:06.115 --> 00:06:09.485
Like that guy smashes Bud Lights and parties
160
00:06:09.585 --> 00:06:13.045
and has a great time from what I understand. Correct.
161
00:06:13.195 --> 00:06:15.965
He's No, Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise. Cruise.
162
00:06:15.965 --> 00:06:17.365
Like also like 15 years older than him,
163
00:06:17.465 --> 00:06:19.565
so who knows. And still
164
00:06:19.565 --> 00:06:20.725
Moves like a 30-year-old.
165
00:06:20.725 --> 00:06:22.165
So. Exactly. So maybe he's onto something.
166
00:06:22.305 --> 00:06:23.305
Mm-hmm
.
167
00:06:23.585 --> 00:06:26.365
Uh, did you, I mean, I did not care for the game itself.
168
00:06:26.545 --> 00:06:28.125
Oh. It was terrible. I thought that was a pretty,
169
00:06:28.125 --> 00:06:29.925
pretty bad game. So
170
00:06:30.165 --> 00:06:31.605
I saw my favorite thing I saw online
171
00:06:31.625 --> 00:06:33.005
and I, I couldn't, I couldn't find it
172
00:06:33.165 --> 00:06:34.565
'cause I wanted to reference it Exactly.
173
00:06:34.585 --> 00:06:36.685
But it just said this, this Super Bowl could have been an
174
00:06:36.685 --> 00:06:37.685
email
.
175
00:06:38.225 --> 00:06:40.925
Yes. So I, um, I don't, I don't want
176
00:06:40.925 --> 00:06:42.445
to offend anyone when I say this.
177
00:06:43.045 --> 00:06:44.925
I, I, I love how we just know
178
00:06:44.925 --> 00:06:47.325
that there's gonna be a plethora of people affected
179
00:06:47.385 --> 00:06:48.645
by the next thing coming outta your life,
180
00:06:48.645 --> 00:06:49.885
or it's gonna be the least
181
00:06:49.885 --> 00:06:50.965
Offensive thing ever. .
182
00:06:51.665 --> 00:06:54.725
No, I think, I think exactly like three people
183
00:06:56.075 --> 00:06:57.965
will be offended by me saying this.
184
00:06:58.475 --> 00:07:01.325
Okay. And, and I, it is nothing against them.
185
00:07:01.515 --> 00:07:04.525
It's just the, the, the circumstances surrounding the event.
186
00:07:04.885 --> 00:07:08.245
I compare this Super Bowl to the 2020 Indy 500.
187
00:07:08.995 --> 00:07:12.045
Like it's gonna, it's kind of like,
188
00:07:12.505 --> 00:07:15.485
for me being a huge fan of football and Super Bowls
189
00:07:15.485 --> 00:07:18.925
and everything, it, it was two teams that were like, nah,
190
00:07:19.505 --> 00:07:22.245
in terms of like the, the, the storylines
191
00:07:22.245 --> 00:07:23.485
around it, in my mind mm-hmm .
192
00:07:23.565 --> 00:07:25.565
The lead up was kind of, nah,
193
00:07:25.815 --> 00:07:27.925
there wasn't a huge amount of anticipation.
194
00:07:28.425 --> 00:07:31.005
The halftime show was what it was. Right.
195
00:07:31.125 --> 00:07:33.285
I mean, it appealed to a certain demographic.
196
00:07:33.465 --> 00:07:34.725
It didn't appeal to another one.
197
00:07:35.005 --> 00:07:37.205
I personally didn't know any of the songs.
198
00:07:37.485 --> 00:07:39.965
A because I don't know who bad Bunny is, B
199
00:07:39.965 --> 00:07:41.005
because I don't speak Spanish.
200
00:07:41.545 --> 00:07:43.165
Um, so like there was nothing memorable
201
00:07:43.195 --> 00:07:44.405
from my standpoint there.
202
00:07:45.345 --> 00:07:48.925
And much like an 8,500 in August in front of No Crowd
203
00:07:49.785 --> 00:07:51.525
is kind of like not a lot memorable there.
204
00:07:51.705 --> 00:07:53.885
So nothing against Kuma obviously.
205
00:07:54.065 --> 00:07:56.045
Um, but I, I feel like this one,
206
00:07:56.045 --> 00:07:58.085
when you look back on the history is kind of gonna be like
207
00:07:58.085 --> 00:07:59.205
that indie five hundreds.
208
00:07:59.205 --> 00:08:01.165
Like, wait, who, who won that one again? Like
209
00:08:01.635 --> 00:08:02.635
Yeah.
210
00:08:02.635 --> 00:08:04.325
You know, I, I'm curious, I'm curious to see like
211
00:08:04.325 --> 00:08:05.405
what the ratings will be,
212
00:08:05.405 --> 00:08:07.085
because that ultimately tells you, right?
213
00:08:07.115 --> 00:08:09.885
Like I know that, sure. I know that there's gonna be a, a,
214
00:08:10.005 --> 00:08:12.485
a default number 'cause people watch, like I watch,
215
00:08:12.645 --> 00:08:14.685
I don't care about either one of those teams even remotely
216
00:08:14.705 --> 00:08:16.605
and I watch the Super Bowl, right? Like same.
217
00:08:16.825 --> 00:08:19.285
Yep.
But there's, I I do think
218
00:08:19.285 --> 00:08:21.365
that the difference in like that last sorta
219
00:08:21.875 --> 00:08:23.365
call it 5 million, right?
220
00:08:23.425 --> 00:08:26.325
The difference between 50,000,050 5 million is, well, yeah,
221
00:08:26.325 --> 00:08:27.965
well it was a, this was a banging game
222
00:08:28.305 --> 00:08:30.525
or this was like one that people were excited to watch.
223
00:08:30.945 --> 00:08:31.965
And I don't know if it's just
224
00:08:31.965 --> 00:08:33.685
because we don't care about either team
225
00:08:34.185 --> 00:08:36.965
and like, especially being, you know, people
226
00:08:36.965 --> 00:08:39.885
who live in Indiana, they like actively hate the Patriots
227
00:08:40.385 --> 00:08:43.965
and like boycott anything related to them that like,
228
00:08:43.965 --> 00:08:46.005
maybe it seemed more tamed here. I don't
229
00:08:46.005 --> 00:08:47.005
Know.
230
00:08:47.005 --> 00:08:49.085
No, I just, I feel like a huge amount of
231
00:08:49.675 --> 00:08:52.365
what drives interest in a team, rightly
232
00:08:52.365 --> 00:08:54.485
or wrongly is the quarterback, right?
233
00:08:54.585 --> 00:08:58.685
Mm-hmm . And, and what they do and, and the plays they make
234
00:08:58.705 --> 00:09:01.685
and, and how they are a a, a game changer.
235
00:09:01.815 --> 00:09:04.525
Right. You know, there's, there's often a lot
236
00:09:04.525 --> 00:09:06.565
of sports podcasts talk about different levels
237
00:09:06.585 --> 00:09:08.365
of quarterback and you have game changers, right?
238
00:09:08.365 --> 00:09:10.125
You have your Josh Allen, your Patrick Mahomes,
239
00:09:10.125 --> 00:09:11.685
your Tom Bradys, right?
240
00:09:11.945 --> 00:09:15.205
And then your game managers who are the guys that are,
241
00:09:15.205 --> 00:09:16.325
they don't turn the ball over,
242
00:09:16.835 --> 00:09:18.525
they kind of follow the script.
243
00:09:18.525 --> 00:09:21.285
Right. But they're not going to put the team on their back
244
00:09:21.665 --> 00:09:23.565
and make a difference themselves. Right? Yeah. They, they
245
00:09:23.565 --> 00:09:24.565
Like Moneyball it.
246
00:09:24.815 --> 00:09:27.245
Right. And I feel like we had a perfect example
247
00:09:27.245 --> 00:09:29.125
of those two quarterbacks not taking anything away from
248
00:09:29.125 --> 00:09:31.645
them, but like that has was
249
00:09:32.165 --> 00:09:35.005
probably the lamest quarterback matchup in recent memory.
250
00:09:35.235 --> 00:09:37.765
Yeah. Like Drake Defense, Dan, Sam, Donald, right?
251
00:09:37.865 --> 00:09:39.925
It was, yeah. So anyways, what were you saying Tim?
252
00:09:40.275 --> 00:09:41.485
With all your ball and knowledge?
253
00:09:42.425 --> 00:09:45.085
No, I was just gonna say
. Yes.
254
00:09:45.085 --> 00:09:46.285
That's like two weeks in a row.
255
00:09:46.285 --> 00:09:48.485
It's not me with the bad internet. Oh, this
256
00:09:48.605 --> 00:09:49.605
Happened last
Week.
257
00:09:49.605 --> 00:09:53.125
That was, that one was such a, such a harsh cut.
258
00:09:53.325 --> 00:09:56.005
I feel like the internet straight went out at his house.
259
00:09:56.195 --> 00:09:57.525
Yeah, I agree completely Tim.
260
00:09:57.775 --> 00:10:00.285
Everything that you just said we're totally on board with
261
00:10:00.545 --> 00:10:02.365
and we heard every word of it.
262
00:10:02.995 --> 00:10:05.245
Yeah. Yeah. Let's go with that.
263
00:10:05.405 --> 00:10:06.965
I think your internet's still waking up Pal. .
264
00:10:08.765 --> 00:10:10.085
I just turned the computer on
265
00:10:10.085 --> 00:10:12.645
for the first time since Friday, so, you know.
266
00:10:13.275 --> 00:10:15.605
Well Tim, um, since it's Tuesday episode
267
00:10:15.625 --> 00:10:17.765
and we have nothing of relevance really,
268
00:10:17.795 --> 00:10:19.485
well actually we'll save it for Thursday.
269
00:10:19.645 --> 00:10:21.485
I wanna hear about your trip on Thursday. So James
270
00:10:21.545 --> 00:10:22.485
Oh, I will be gone for the
271
00:10:22.645 --> 00:10:23.765
Thursday episode if we're about to record.
272
00:10:24.165 --> 00:10:26.525
'cause my heart out is in three minutes. Hmm.
273
00:10:26.915 --> 00:10:29.045
Well great point, Tim. Don't tell us. We'll tell that for
274
00:10:29.045 --> 00:10:30.045
Next week.
275
00:10:30.515 --> 00:10:34.205
Okay.
Yeah. In three minutes bro. Actually yeah.
276
00:10:34.205 --> 00:10:35.845
Give us, give us the three minute synopsis.
277
00:10:35.945 --> 00:10:38.125
Why were you, why did you just turn your computer on?
278
00:10:38.875 --> 00:10:40.685
Well, uh, Alex, you know, we were supposed
279
00:10:40.685 --> 00:10:41.925
to go see the Artis launch
280
00:10:42.225 --> 00:10:45.165
but uh, nasa, nasa, NASA a very pretty
281
00:10:45.165 --> 00:10:46.285
Hard to send people to the moon
282
00:10:47.095 --> 00:10:48.095
Again.
283
00:10:48.095 --> 00:10:48.845
Yeah. . Um,
284
00:10:50.875 --> 00:10:52.845
it's a significantly bigger rocket.
285
00:10:53.505 --> 00:10:57.125
Uh, a newer thing. We're sending a lot more this time.
286
00:10:57.515 --> 00:10:58.685
Yeah, you're right. It's not a tin
287
00:10:58.705 --> 00:10:59.885
can designed by eighth graders
288
00:11:00.625 --> 00:11:05.605
And they had a hydrogen leak, uh, and the launchpad.
289
00:11:05.795 --> 00:11:07.085
Yeah. Which makes sense. We talked about this.
290
00:11:07.445 --> 00:11:10.805
Hydrogen is the smallest atom. So anyway, um, yes,
291
00:11:10.805 --> 00:11:11.805
we did already talk about this.
292
00:11:12.145 --> 00:11:13.565
So we had the flights
293
00:11:13.565 --> 00:11:16.165
to Florida booked all the dates in March
294
00:11:16.295 --> 00:11:18.205
where they could do the launch, um,
295
00:11:19.595 --> 00:11:20.675
conflict with IndyCar races.
296
00:11:20.675 --> 00:11:23.315
So figured we're probably not gonna go as the plus one
297
00:11:23.315 --> 00:11:26.035
and plus two of Alex Rossi on any of those dates.
298
00:11:26.055 --> 00:11:28.395
So we, Hazel and I just decided to keep the trip anyways,
299
00:11:28.455 --> 00:11:30.555
we went to Universal in Florida
300
00:11:31.015 --> 00:11:32.355
and just had a nice weekend there.
301
00:11:32.855 --> 00:11:34.675
We got super delayed on the way back
302
00:11:34.875 --> 00:11:36.435
'cause there was a medical emergency on the plane.
303
00:11:36.435 --> 00:11:38.875
We had to go back to the gate and then they had to refuel us
304
00:11:38.895 --> 00:11:40.035
and it just was hours
305
00:11:40.055 --> 00:11:41.555
of sitting on the plane before we took off.
306
00:11:42.295 --> 00:11:45.555
So I am exhausted right now, just woke up
307
00:11:45.835 --> 00:11:49.595
'cause I misread the texts and Yeah. But great weekend.
308
00:11:50.375 --> 00:11:53.445
So as somebody that frequents Universal in LA,
309
00:11:53.785 --> 00:11:56.405
how does it compare to the Universal in Florida?
310
00:11:56.545 --> 00:11:58.085
Not even, not even comparable.
311
00:11:58.165 --> 00:12:00.125
I mean they have so much more room in,
312
00:12:00.265 --> 00:12:02.685
in Florida there are four parks in Florida
313
00:12:02.905 --> 00:12:04.685
and each of them is bigger than the one in
314
00:12:04.705 --> 00:12:05.925
LA I think , sorry,
315
00:12:05.925 --> 00:12:08.085
There's four different universal parks. Yeah,
316
00:12:08.195 --> 00:12:09.195
Yeah.
317
00:12:09.195 --> 00:12:11.325
There's, there's Universal Studios, there's Island
318
00:12:11.625 --> 00:12:13.085
of Adventure, there's the water
319
00:12:13.185 --> 00:12:14.285
park's name I don't remember.
320
00:12:14.285 --> 00:12:15.845
And the new one, which is bigger than all
321
00:12:15.845 --> 00:12:17.725
of them combined Epic universe. And
322
00:12:17.725 --> 00:12:18.925
Those are all universal.
323
00:12:19.235 --> 00:12:23.125
Yeah. Yeah. Parks.
And so trying to take over Disney,
324
00:12:24.025 --> 00:12:26.645
We stayed at a hotel Alex recommended, which was like a,
325
00:12:27.675 --> 00:12:29.005
felt like we were sleeping in a space
326
00:12:29.005 --> 00:12:30.845
station, had a cool pool.
327
00:12:30.945 --> 00:12:33.605
We did, uh, we did all three parks except
328
00:12:33.665 --> 00:12:34.765
we didn't do the waterpark.
329
00:12:34.765 --> 00:12:36.125
So we did three of the four parks
330
00:12:36.585 --> 00:12:38.725
and yeah, great time. Exhausted
331
00:12:39.595 --> 00:12:43.125
High
Highlight like ride or exhibit
332
00:12:43.305 --> 00:12:44.845
or experience. Um,
333
00:12:45.225 --> 00:12:47.565
The Epic universe, the new park is incredible.
334
00:12:47.745 --> 00:12:50.125
And they had this really cool thing called Ministry
335
00:12:50.125 --> 00:12:52.005
of Magic ride, where you like go
336
00:12:52.555 --> 00:12:54.925
that one the line Twilight was the coolest part.
337
00:12:55.345 --> 00:12:58.805
Um, . Yes, exactly. Uh, no that one. The,
338
00:12:59.185 --> 00:13:02.045
The,
Yeah, like the line you, you do, you go
339
00:13:02.045 --> 00:13:05.045
through this giant set that looks like the Ministry
340
00:13:05.045 --> 00:13:06.285
of Magic from Harry Potter.
341
00:13:06.905 --> 00:13:09.405
And like the attention to detail was ridiculous.
342
00:13:09.645 --> 00:13:11.005
I guess that's a, that's a nice strategy.
343
00:13:11.035 --> 00:13:12.325
It's nice when they put the effort in
344
00:13:12.325 --> 00:13:14.365
to make the line entertaining
345
00:13:14.395 --> 00:13:16.725
because yeah, I imagine you spend a lot of
346
00:13:16.725 --> 00:13:17.925
Time in know people be sitting there for three
347
00:13:17.925 --> 00:13:18.925
Hours.
348
00:13:18.925 --> 00:13:21.645
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sounds like that's your time, Timbo.
349
00:13:21.915 --> 00:13:23.205
It's my time to go wake up. Hail,
350
00:13:23.225 --> 00:13:25.205
Thanks for joining us. Thanks.
351
00:13:25.205 --> 00:13:28.605
Thanks for joining us this
Wonderful Tuesday. Oh,
352
00:13:32.595 --> 00:13:33.595
Alright.
353
00:13:33.595 --> 00:13:36.565
As so we had a cool guest lined up that we are gonna get
354
00:13:36.565 --> 00:13:38.325
to at some point, but due to
355
00:13:38.725 --> 00:13:41.245
Politics,
I was gonna say political reasons he cannot,
356
00:13:41.825 --> 00:13:43.365
uh, be here at this time.
357
00:13:43.825 --> 00:13:45.245
But, but not bad political reasons.
358
00:13:45.295 --> 00:13:47.685
Watch understandable political reasons. Yeah,
359
00:13:47.685 --> 00:13:48.685
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
360
00:13:48.685 --> 00:13:51.125
The, the timing just did not make sense on,
361
00:13:51.305 --> 00:13:53.645
on his organization side, which I totally get.
362
00:13:53.705 --> 00:13:55.085
So we're gonna get him on at some point
363
00:13:55.085 --> 00:13:56.845
and we're gonna have a, a really fun conversation
364
00:13:56.845 --> 00:13:58.685
with him about his past
365
00:13:58.865 --> 00:14:00.645
and his current, which is gonna be fun.
366
00:14:00.825 --> 00:14:03.845
So in lieu of that, as we've managed to burn most
367
00:14:03.845 --> 00:14:06.245
of this episode talking about the, the Super Bowl.
368
00:14:06.265 --> 00:14:11.005
Anyway, I have a few random questions that chat, GPD uh, uh,
369
00:14:11.675 --> 00:14:13.245
devised for us to discuss.
370
00:14:13.665 --> 00:14:15.605
But I do think there's a couple Good,
371
00:14:15.605 --> 00:14:17.605
there's at least two really good ones in here actually.
372
00:14:17.605 --> 00:14:18.845
There's, ah, there's a couple good ones.
373
00:14:18.865 --> 00:14:20.045
So I wanna start with this one.
374
00:14:20.285 --> 00:14:21.765
'cause this is something I think is,
375
00:14:22.435 --> 00:14:23.565
I've got a strong opinion on
376
00:14:23.585 --> 00:14:25.205
and I'm curious what yours is interest.
377
00:14:25.425 --> 00:14:27.605
And the question was, is timing
378
00:14:27.825 --> 00:14:30.765
or talent more important in Motorsport?
379
00:14:35.635 --> 00:14:38.005
Well, James, I think that's an impossible question
380
00:14:38.005 --> 00:14:39.885
to answer because Okay.
381
00:14:41.105 --> 00:14:45.645
Timing, I would say is more important in the avenue
382
00:14:46.505 --> 00:14:49.805
to the top, in the path to the top, right?
383
00:14:50.385 --> 00:14:53.305
We don't have to go into the examples even recently
384
00:14:53.325 --> 00:14:55.585
of Indie Lights champions, right?
385
00:14:55.725 --> 00:14:59.105
Who Oliver ask you where's he at sort of thing.
386
00:14:59.365 --> 00:15:02.265
Um, guys that had a lot of promise that don't,
387
00:15:02.295 --> 00:15:03.585
that don't end up making it.
388
00:15:03.805 --> 00:15:08.525
Um, but at the same time you can have
389
00:15:09.345 --> 00:15:13.685
all of the timing align and the politics align
390
00:15:13.825 --> 00:15:16.405
and all this sort of thing, and you can get to the top,
391
00:15:16.825 --> 00:15:19.565
but that doesn't mean it's sustainable without the
392
00:15:19.565 --> 00:15:22.585
underlying pace performance and talent.
393
00:15:23.125 --> 00:15:27.625
So I think, I think timing is more important to
394
00:15:28.465 --> 00:15:29.655
break through that barrier,
395
00:15:30.515 --> 00:15:33.535
but then that's not gonna carry you once you get to the top.
396
00:15:34.005 --> 00:15:35.015
Does that answer your question?
397
00:15:35.525 --> 00:15:37.015
That does, that's a good answer. Okay.
398
00:15:37.015 --> 00:15:40.495
That's a, that's a well thought out for a ten second, um,
399
00:15:40.615 --> 00:15:43.015
deliberation in your mind about that question.
400
00:15:43.795 --> 00:15:48.495
Um, I completely agree on the timing being the
401
00:15:49.455 --> 00:15:52.215
defining factor, getting there, right?
402
00:15:52.215 --> 00:15:55.535
Because if you were the most talented kid, you know,
403
00:15:55.535 --> 00:16:00.015
in the world and, uh, you were really getting into that sort
404
00:16:00.015 --> 00:16:02.495
of like pro 2000 indie lights range
405
00:16:02.515 --> 00:16:06.615
and say, I don't know, 2008 tough things probably didn't,
406
00:16:06.615 --> 00:16:07.855
unless you had tons of money, things probably
407
00:16:07.855 --> 00:16:08.935
didn't work out for you, right?
408
00:16:09.035 --> 00:16:11.695
But if you came in like the early two thousands through the,
409
00:16:12.195 --> 00:16:13.815
the, the hottest part
410
00:16:13.815 --> 00:16:15.935
of like the Red Bull driver search in the US
411
00:16:15.935 --> 00:16:17.415
and you were American, you know,
412
00:16:17.415 --> 00:16:20.855
you had a much better shot at having an opportunity in a car
413
00:16:20.855 --> 00:16:23.375
when the sport is healthy, you know,
414
00:16:24.405 --> 00:16:26.295
then it's kind of about talent.
415
00:16:27.235 --> 00:16:29.095
So you have to time it to be, you know,
416
00:16:29.165 --> 00:16:31.335
when the sport is in a, like, it's, it's
417
00:16:31.335 --> 00:16:32.575
so cyclical, it's so difficult.
418
00:16:32.575 --> 00:16:35.295
There's ultimately only 20 something seats available at the
419
00:16:35.295 --> 00:16:37.215
top and timing's just a huge part of that.
420
00:16:37.395 --> 00:16:38.695
You know, got the F1 side of things.
421
00:16:38.955 --> 00:16:40.495
How many, to your point about, you know,
422
00:16:40.905 --> 00:16:41.935
indie Ice champions,
423
00:16:41.935 --> 00:16:44.775
how many F two champions have not ended up
424
00:16:44.925 --> 00:16:46.375
with a Formula one opportunity
425
00:16:46.375 --> 00:16:48.095
because there was only 20 seats
426
00:16:48.315 --> 00:16:50.215
and there was just nobody bad enough to fire
427
00:16:50.475 --> 00:16:51.975
and maybe this kid was better than them,
428
00:16:52.355 --> 00:16:54.775
but that opportunity never presented itself, right?
429
00:16:55.475 --> 00:16:56.615
The talent at the top part.
430
00:16:57.555 --> 00:17:00.175
That's an interesting, I've never like seen it broken down
431
00:17:00.285 --> 00:17:03.655
into two parts, but that's an interesting take.
432
00:17:04.795 --> 00:17:09.405
And while I, I do agree with what you're saying,
433
00:17:10.225 --> 00:17:12.005
let me add another layer to it, right?
434
00:17:12.005 --> 00:17:14.525
Because, and,
435
00:17:14.545 --> 00:17:16.725
and I think I already know your rebuttal, I'm not sure,
436
00:17:16.725 --> 00:17:18.085
and I'm not saying this is my position,
437
00:17:18.105 --> 00:17:20.445
but just another layer to think about is
438
00:17:21.985 --> 00:17:24.575
there are different generations of,
439
00:17:24.955 --> 00:17:27.935
and eras of whether it's IndyCar or F1
440
00:17:27.935 --> 00:17:32.335
or nascar, whatever, where a certain driver's driving style
441
00:17:33.805 --> 00:17:37.055
is going to be more effective in that car than another car.
442
00:17:37.955 --> 00:17:42.375
And if they just time, if their timing is just wrong,
443
00:17:42.405 --> 00:17:44.655
like if their career path just led them
444
00:17:44.655 --> 00:17:48.815
to be there at the wrong time, you know, like, like,
445
00:17:48.845 --> 00:17:51.445
like let's we'll use F1 as an easier example just
446
00:17:51.445 --> 00:17:54.525
because the errors are so much more clearly defined, right?
447
00:17:55.425 --> 00:17:58.605
If you were like really good in the ground effects car
448
00:17:58.865 --> 00:18:00.725
and now we don't have ground effects anymore,
449
00:18:01.075 --> 00:18:02.525
like let's say may,
450
00:18:02.525 --> 00:18:05.165
maybe Kimmy Antonelli was gonna be the best driver on earth
451
00:18:05.165 --> 00:18:06.245
in a ground effects car
452
00:18:06.345 --> 00:18:08.565
and he'll never race one again in Formula One
453
00:18:08.565 --> 00:18:10.965
and now he's like results tank or
454
00:18:10.965 --> 00:18:11.965
Something.
455
00:18:11.965 --> 00:18:13.285
Yeah, I, well, yeah, I didn't,
456
00:18:13.405 --> 00:18:14.965
I don't think I have a rebuttal for that.
457
00:18:15.085 --> 00:18:16.645
I think that is a very,
458
00:18:18.545 --> 00:18:20.885
that's a very real possibility. The
459
00:18:21.045 --> 00:18:22.965
Ultimate like rebuttal I think to that point is,
460
00:18:22.995 --> 00:18:25.725
well the most talented people on earth will figure it out no
461
00:18:25.885 --> 00:18:27.285
matter what the car does, right?
462
00:18:27.355 --> 00:18:29.525
Like you need some luck to get there. Yeah.
463
00:18:29.545 --> 00:18:30.965
But then like once you're at the top,
464
00:18:31.105 --> 00:18:33.685
if you are the most talented, it doesn't matter your timing,
465
00:18:33.705 --> 00:18:35.565
you'll figure out a way to win.
466
00:18:35.835 --> 00:18:36.925
Yeah. Yeah.
467
00:18:37.145 --> 00:18:38.325
That's probably so a healthy mix
468
00:18:38.355 --> 00:18:39.605
that that, that is probably correct.
469
00:18:39.825 --> 00:18:41.365
Um, yeah. And, and I think the timing
470
00:18:42.385 --> 00:18:45.245
aspect can be opened up a little bit to,
471
00:18:46.675 --> 00:18:48.565
this doesn't really apply on the F1 side.
472
00:18:48.905 --> 00:18:51.085
Um, well maybe a little bit.
473
00:18:51.605 --> 00:18:54.685
I would say on the F1 side, well no, it applies on both,
474
00:18:54.905 --> 00:18:58.325
you know, you take guys like Fernando Alonzo, um, my point
475
00:18:58.325 --> 00:18:59.325
that I was making is, you know,
476
00:18:59.325 --> 00:19:02.005
you've got guys in IndyCar like your Scott Dixons
477
00:19:02.005 --> 00:19:03.165
and Will Powers and,
478
00:19:03.185 --> 00:19:06.325
and everything, who while they
479
00:19:06.845 --> 00:19:08.765
a hundred percent should still be in race seats
480
00:19:09.065 --> 00:19:11.725
and are still competitive and are winning races
481
00:19:11.725 --> 00:19:13.365
and being on pole and all that sort of thing,
482
00:19:13.815 --> 00:19:16.365
their time is towards the end, right?
483
00:19:16.625 --> 00:19:20.005
And so you have these guys that are, you know,
484
00:19:20.205 --> 00:19:22.465
at one point gonna time out not
485
00:19:22.465 --> 00:19:24.465
because of any other reason other than you're not gonna
486
00:19:24.465 --> 00:19:26.465
drive a race car when you're 48, right?
487
00:19:27.005 --> 00:19:29.625
So depending on when the timing don't tell Dixon
488
00:19:29.625 --> 00:19:32.305
that well, in theory, right?
489
00:19:32.305 --> 00:19:35.305
So depending on where the timing of those guys phase out
490
00:19:35.685 --> 00:19:36.985
and your Yep.
491
00:19:37.655 --> 00:19:41.825
Insertion and rise in performance comes, like that's,
492
00:19:41.825 --> 00:19:43.025
that's a timing aspect of it.
493
00:19:43.025 --> 00:19:46.345
But obviously one that's completely out of your hands and,
494
00:19:46.345 --> 00:19:47.665
and impossible to predict.
495
00:19:47.805 --> 00:19:49.905
But yeah, no, it, it plays a factor.
496
00:19:50.005 --> 00:19:52.865
But I'm gonna stand by my, my original answer.
497
00:19:54.165 --> 00:19:56.825
Um, alright James, the other one, the last,
498
00:19:57.505 --> 00:19:59.465
I think we'll do one more for the time that we have.
499
00:19:59.465 --> 00:20:02.465
Have, um, and I really wanna get into this
500
00:20:02.895 --> 00:20:04.785
because I can't wait.
501
00:20:05.365 --> 00:20:06.985
If you could rewrite one rule on
502
00:20:06.985 --> 00:20:09.385
IndyCar
, I knew you were going with this one.
503
00:20:10.495 --> 00:20:12.025
Okay. Well you, you clearly
504
00:20:12.025 --> 00:20:13.265
have one that you're thinking of.
505
00:20:13.285 --> 00:20:14.305
So you start I went
506
00:20:14.305 --> 00:20:16.185
First, last time pal. Oh shoot.
507
00:20:16.215 --> 00:20:18.465
Okay, well I gotta, I gotta think for
508
00:20:18.465 --> 00:20:19.465
A second.
509
00:20:19.465 --> 00:20:20.505
Alright, I'll go first. Okay.
510
00:20:21.025 --> 00:20:23.345
I think everyone's default that they're gonna go
511
00:20:23.345 --> 00:20:25.505
to is all close closing the pits, right?
512
00:20:25.895 --> 00:20:28.145
There's, there's so many re closing the pits under yellow.
513
00:20:28.555 --> 00:20:30.785
Right? That's been, that's a dead horse's been
514
00:20:30.785 --> 00:20:32.025
beat too, too many times.
515
00:20:32.285 --> 00:20:34.105
I'm not gonna choose that one. I know. Yeah.
516
00:20:34.525 --> 00:20:39.065
I'm not
About that one. My number one rule that I hate,
517
00:20:39.805 --> 00:20:42.905
or I guess it's a lack of a rule, is
518
00:20:43.485 --> 00:20:45.385
not command blue cars.
519
00:20:45.685 --> 00:20:47.445
Oh yeah. Until you are a lockdown
520
00:20:47.785 --> 00:20:52.485
to the entire field is the most stupid thing on earth.
521
00:20:52.625 --> 00:20:54.525
And we are the only racing series that does it.
522
00:20:55.315 --> 00:20:58.005
It's so funny, man. 'cause I, I was, oh, you know, I,
523
00:20:58.125 --> 00:20:59.325
I re rewatched the whole season.
524
00:20:59.335 --> 00:21:02.005
Fires me up in prep for the next season, right?
525
00:21:02.065 --> 00:21:03.765
So I'm, I've been going through all the races
526
00:21:03.825 --> 00:21:05.685
and the number of times this comes up
527
00:21:05.685 --> 00:21:06.885
like on a road track Oh.
528
00:21:07.065 --> 00:21:08.605
And you're just like, uh,
529
00:21:08.665 --> 00:21:10.485
but didn't they change the rule last year where
530
00:21:10.485 --> 00:21:12.725
that if you're like the last car in the lead lap,
531
00:21:12.785 --> 00:21:15.365
you can no longer use your push to pass
532
00:21:15.505 --> 00:21:17.045
to defend against the leaders.
533
00:21:17.555 --> 00:21:19.445
Yeah. Great. Okay. Okay. You're halfway there.
534
00:21:19.795 --> 00:21:20.805
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's get the other
535
00:21:20.805 --> 00:21:21.805
Half of the
Way there.
536
00:21:21.805 --> 00:21:23.245
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just wanna make sure that we did,
537
00:21:23.425 --> 00:21:25.525
we we're, we moved directionally correct.
538
00:21:25.665 --> 00:21:29.285
Yes. But yes, that one is, that one is pretty bad. Yeah.
539
00:21:29.385 --> 00:21:32.805
Um, yeah, it's, it's, I think it's hard to beat that one.
540
00:21:33.085 --> 00:21:34.605
Honestly. The, it's just
541
00:21:34.915 --> 00:21:37.645
Asinine
From, from a, from a racer standpoint
542
00:21:37.645 --> 00:21:38.765
and like I get where it came from.
543
00:21:38.765 --> 00:21:42.205
That rule was born from the fact that like, originally
544
00:21:42.675 --> 00:21:44.405
When we had 14 ovals a year,
545
00:21:44.625 --> 00:21:47.605
But, but also I wanna say there was a time when the rule
546
00:21:47.825 --> 00:21:52.245
was the command blew kicked in once you were a
547
00:21:52.245 --> 00:21:53.325
lap down to the leader.
548
00:21:54.485 --> 00:21:57.575
Okay? So don't, don't quote me my, I'm old
549
00:21:57.575 --> 00:22:00.895
and I've hit the wall a lot, but I, I think the rule was
550
00:22:01.515 --> 00:22:03.615
the last car in the lead lap didn't have to,
551
00:22:03.615 --> 00:22:05.135
there was no blue flag for the leader,
552
00:22:05.795 --> 00:22:07.895
but once they were a lap down to the leader,
553
00:22:08.285 --> 00:22:09.335
they got a blue flag
554
00:22:09.335 --> 00:22:10.975
and everyone else they had to move over for.
555
00:22:11.515 --> 00:22:12.815
And there was a bit of an uproar
556
00:22:12.815 --> 00:22:14.855
that like whoever was leading was
557
00:22:14.855 --> 00:22:16.055
essentially being disadvantaged.
558
00:22:16.135 --> 00:22:18.215
'cause they had to actually work to get by this car
559
00:22:18.435 --> 00:22:21.095
and would lose time and everyone else just got a free pass.
560
00:22:21.445 --> 00:22:22.815
Sure. So then I think the rule
561
00:22:22.815 --> 00:22:24.255
became, oh yeah, you're right.
562
00:22:24.565 --> 00:22:26.375
Everybody has to work hard to get
563
00:22:26.375 --> 00:22:29.175
by rather than everybody gets a free pass.
564
00:22:29.955 --> 00:22:31.615
So I do think that's something I,
565
00:22:31.775 --> 00:22:34.175
I get in theory the concept like, you wanna try
566
00:22:34.175 --> 00:22:35.855
to stay in the lead lap because if you get a yellow
567
00:22:35.855 --> 00:22:37.455
and all that stuff, which is not
568
00:22:37.455 --> 00:22:39.175
as prevalent in other series, right?
569
00:22:39.275 --> 00:22:41.255
So that's why they may be less inclined to do that.
570
00:22:41.875 --> 00:22:43.535
But I'm with you. That is a good one.
571
00:22:43.995 --> 00:22:47.335
If I was a putting on my broadcasters hat,
572
00:22:48.345 --> 00:22:50.645
here's a rule that I'm not sure if I've ever talked
573
00:22:50.645 --> 00:22:52.685
to you about this, but this is a, like an idea that,
574
00:22:53.435 --> 00:22:57.495
that I came up with After.
575
00:22:59.465 --> 00:23:01.305
I wanna say it was after, um,
576
00:23:02.545 --> 00:23:04.875
there's a couple different qualifying scenarios
577
00:23:04.875 --> 00:23:07.755
that have come up that have highlighted this
578
00:23:10.075 --> 00:23:12.295
in qualifying at least maybe not in practice,
579
00:23:12.295 --> 00:23:14.735
but in qualifying I would like to do away
580
00:23:14.735 --> 00:23:16.295
with the alt start finish line.
581
00:23:16.325 --> 00:23:17.935
Okay. I would like qualifying
582
00:23:18.035 --> 00:23:19.975
to be done on the start finish line.
583
00:23:20.115 --> 00:23:22.535
And here's why. When you get down, actually, you know what,
584
00:23:22.995 --> 00:23:27.815
no, I want the fast six, just the fast six to be done
585
00:23:28.895 --> 00:23:30.035
on the official timing line.
586
00:23:30.215 --> 00:23:33.315
Reason being from a TV perspective, right?
587
00:23:36.055 --> 00:23:38.435
You often have the last, you know,
588
00:23:38.435 --> 00:23:40.355
you gotta wait till the last car is across the line.
589
00:23:40.865 --> 00:23:42.515
Okay? At most tracks,
590
00:23:42.515 --> 00:23:45.465
by the time the last car's across the line, four
591
00:23:45.485 --> 00:23:47.785
of the other five are already in the pit lane.
592
00:23:48.215 --> 00:23:52.745
Okay. IndyCar has a, has a deal with NTT where,
593
00:23:53.045 --> 00:23:55.625
you know, that's, it's the, it's the NTT pole award
594
00:23:56.285 --> 00:23:59.505
and the pole sitting car's gotta be like carted down to the
595
00:24:00.725 --> 00:24:02.165
NTT pit stall, right?
596
00:24:02.165 --> 00:24:05.845
Mm-hmm . Which if you are the first guy across the line,
597
00:24:05.845 --> 00:24:06.845
you're already in your box
598
00:24:07.105 --> 00:24:09.045
and you're sitting in your car and you're just waiting
599
00:24:09.115 --> 00:24:10.525
Just sweating. Yeah. Just
600
00:24:10.765 --> 00:24:11.765
Sweating and waiting.
601
00:24:11.945 --> 00:24:14.525
And then when you get the, hey, you're the pole sitter,
602
00:24:14.585 --> 00:24:16.965
you're in your car and you can't really do anything mm-hmm .
603
00:24:17.045 --> 00:24:18.165
Or like you're already outta your car
604
00:24:18.225 --> 00:24:19.805
and you kind of knew you were gonna be on pole.
605
00:24:19.905 --> 00:24:21.205
So you've already high fived all your
606
00:24:21.205 --> 00:24:22.245
guy, there's no energy.
607
00:24:22.265 --> 00:24:24.885
Oh, then the crew's gotta like push the car down mm-hmm .
608
00:24:24.965 --> 00:24:27.205
Pit lane to get to the NTT pit thing
609
00:24:27.205 --> 00:24:29.925
and it's like all the energy is gone,
610
00:24:30.065 --> 00:24:31.525
all the excitement is gone.
611
00:24:31.545 --> 00:24:33.285
The drama of the moment is dead.
612
00:24:34.145 --> 00:24:37.005
And so if you have it where they have
613
00:24:37.005 --> 00:24:38.445
to do a full cool down lap,
614
00:24:39.385 --> 00:24:42.125
the guy lock guy crosses the line, Hey man, you're on pole.
615
00:24:42.385 --> 00:24:43.965
You get that reaction in the car,
616
00:24:44.465 --> 00:24:45.685
you get the driver on the radio.
617
00:24:45.875 --> 00:24:48.005
Yeah. Yeah boys, well done, well done.
618
00:24:48.585 --> 00:24:52.245
And then the crew can all relocate to the NTT pit
619
00:24:52.585 --> 00:24:54.125
and the car can just drive there.
620
00:24:54.665 --> 00:24:56.045
And then that way you get the, the,
621
00:24:56.105 --> 00:24:58.405
the instantaneous reaction of everybody.
622
00:24:59.575 --> 00:25:02.535
Hmm. So you get some radio interaction, you get a more, so
623
00:25:02.535 --> 00:25:04.455
My only, my only question is yes,
624
00:25:04.605 --> 00:25:08.095
from a broadcast standpoint, that's way better
625
00:25:08.095 --> 00:25:09.095
Purely
A TV thing.
626
00:25:09.095 --> 00:25:11.775
Would they be able to do that with timelines
627
00:25:11.995 --> 00:25:13.615
and like how would then sectors work?
628
00:25:14.055 --> 00:25:15.415
I again, I don't know, but I have
629
00:25:15.415 --> 00:25:17.415
to feel like in the break between Q2
630
00:25:17.575 --> 00:25:21.995
and Q3, they could just set the system up to be like,
631
00:25:22.055 --> 00:25:23.595
we are going off this timeline now.
632
00:25:23.955 --> 00:25:25.395
I mean, I mean the sectors
633
00:25:26.195 --> 00:25:28.595
'cause well I guess IndyCar doesn't do
634
00:25:28.595 --> 00:25:29.635
sectors on the broadcast.
635
00:25:29.665 --> 00:25:32.635
It's like a rolling delta, so it doesn't really matter.
636
00:25:32.865 --> 00:25:35.755
Yeah, right. Okay. No, I was thinking like in F1 words.
637
00:25:36.025 --> 00:25:37.875
Yeah. Yeah. How would you do sector one, two, and three?
638
00:25:37.875 --> 00:25:40.635
But they don't do that. Um, okay, I like it.
639
00:25:41.375 --> 00:25:43.035
I'm here for it. Make it happen.
640
00:25:43.035 --> 00:25:44.475
Alright. Just put
That forward for those that listen,
641
00:25:45.585 --> 00:25:46.585
Have that power.
642
00:25:46.585 --> 00:25:49.035
So, uh, Mr. Bulls, if you're listening, uh, let's go ahead
643
00:25:49.035 --> 00:25:51.515
and make some slight adjustments there. 'cause I think it'd
644
00:25:51.515 --> 00:25:52.515
Be fun.
645
00:25:52.515 --> 00:25:52.755
Oh yeah, brother. And while you're at it,
646
00:25:52.755 --> 00:25:54.795
all right fast six single car qualifying. Thanks, bye.
647
00:25:55.175 --> 00:25:56.555
Really? You want that? I'd
648
00:25:56.555 --> 00:25:57.555
Love that.
649
00:25:57.555 --> 00:25:58.035
But let's talk about that on Thursday.
650
00:25:58.445 --> 00:25:59.795
