WEBVTT

1
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:33.759
Three, two one, and it's
over and also begins so Downbeat the weekday

2
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:38.399
morning Show here on ninety seven to
one The Freak. We're six to ten

3
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:45.439
AM. My name is Mike Siroy
Danny Baylis sitting six feet there you go,

4
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:51.840
touch our longest. We just touched
tips. You have long fingers,

5
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:58.520
not particularly now. Do you think
the person with the Guinness Book longest fingers

6
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:06.000
on planet Earth have a chance of
being the greatest guitarist? Maybe pianist penis

7
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:08.840
would help more than guitarists. Yeah, I think so. We're like,

8
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.319
you know, the people born with
six fingers, wouldn't that be a possible

9
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:15.959
for both? Yeah, Penis as
well as long as it's not with the

10
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:23.079
little baby arm. Baby arm finger
went to school for eight years from fifth

11
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.840
grade till I graduated with a guy
that had on each of his thumbs,

12
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:34.280
yeh okay, a little extension thumb
that came out like a little tree branch,

13
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.200
like like for where this knuckle is, okay, on your thumb where

14
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:45.200
the big knuckle bins, there was
an extension like a little L shaped thumb

15
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:49.120
that came out and it had a
fingernail and everything on it, and it

16
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.239
was just there. He couldn't like, yeah, it didn't. It didn't

17
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.480
reconnect with his thumb. It just
it was separate. Man, it was

18
00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:01.519
like its own extension, little dew
Claw Frankie l CDs. Really you think

19
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:05.280
he still has him there? Yeah, he left him on. I don't

20
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:07.599
think there was any reason for him
to cut him off. But uh,

21
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:12.319
yeah he had six He had twelve
fingers, man, or yeah, eight

22
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.520
fingers and four thumbs. He had
a baby four thumb on each hand.

23
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:20.039
Like, if you're going to have
that, don't you want to just be

24
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:23.400
functional and like an extra finger.
Yeah, it'd be cool, you know

25
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:27.120
if it had some kind of and
igalize it somehow. Music would be one

26
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:30.000
of the biggest Yeah. In that
case, you just need like a big,

27
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:32.840
big, a real yeah, or
just a whole nother finger. Uh

28
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:39.039
huh. I wonder if in another
million years we'd vote what evolutionary changes humans

29
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:45.039
would have? Yeah, like how
what could be improved upon? But I

30
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:49.240
think that would have to do with
maybe our environment surroundings. We'd have to

31
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:53.800
adapt to that exactly. Something would
drastically have to change in our world.

32
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:54.840
Well, no, see, I
don't think so. I think I mean

33
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:58.439
we are in the middle of evolution
right now. Of course, we just

34
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.000
have no idea because we're here in
the you know, for a quarter of

35
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.360
an eyeblink, you know, so
like we can't see it. It's not

36
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.560
like we're the finished product, nailed
it. Humans are perfect. I mean

37
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:14.439
like our appendixes will what disappear?
Right? Aren't they useless? Those the

38
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:22.360
two that we don't need. But
we've gotten taller we have. Yeah,

39
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:27.639
but again, like we said yesterday, the people of the Philippines or Laos

40
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:34.479
are the men on average are five
foot three, so maybe they have got

41
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:39.199
need to be considering their geographical location. Yes, and maybe we need to

42
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:46.280
be taller little flying birds. Who's
going to reach that Panburger partner on the

43
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:50.360
top shelf top America? You remember
that for the later in the show.

44
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:57.080
Who's going to reach the top shelf? Boozes. I don't know why why

45
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:01.639
are we evolving taller? Because we
don't need evolve anything for survival now as

46
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:09.039
as a you know, humanity,
right or then are we overvaluing our existence

47
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:15.800
versus you know, those who still
live on the land more than dingu and

48
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:20.000
shale do because we do come from
the water. Yeah, As the Tody

49
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:23.839
song says I damn sure, come
from the water. I'm of the sea.

50
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:27.399
You are you are? I think, and I've used this as a

51
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:35.279
bit before, but I think we
will evolve into not needing hair on top

52
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:41.040
of our heads. And I jokingly
say, you know, anytime you see

53
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.600
an alien life form, of the
guests as to what one is, they're

54
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:47.240
not hairy. None of them are
harry. So the evolved beings are hairless.

55
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:51.879
And that's probably an excuse I use
as a bald man to make fun

56
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:57.519
of you, beautiful Neanderthals. Why
okay, So don't we have hair?

57
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:01.720
Maybe to protect us from the sun's
rays, but also to maybe keep us

58
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:05.040
warm. I don't know. I've
never felt like having hair has kept me

59
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:10.399
particularly warmer than it would otherwise.
It's definitely I feel hotter in the summer

60
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:13.879
as a result of it. Yeah, and the hair absorbs some of your

61
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:18.639
sweat, I guess, yeah,
I don't know, or hair, I

62
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:21.759
mean ever, your hair grows on
your body. It's above something that it's

63
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:28.600
designed to protect, right generally,
you know, your hair on your head,

64
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:33.759
your eyebrows and your eyelashes protect your
eyes. Obviously, your pubes.

65
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:39.920
The hair on our heads doesn't just
look nice, mikey, it keeps us

66
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:46.000
warm by preserving heat. Well,
we don't want to get any warmer if

67
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:50.480
you look at evolutionary trends, right, So if we are in the middle

68
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:58.519
of the process of global warming cooling
ourselves, that cooling ourselves, yeah,

69
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:02.519
might be in our evolutionary future,
and therefore we would lose hair. Now,

70
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:08.079
hair in the nose, ears,
and around the eyes protects these sensitive

71
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:13.040
areas from dust and other small particles. Yeah, eyebrows and eyelashes, eyelashes

72
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:15.600
by decreasing the amount of light and
particles that go into them, that's kind

73
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:21.839
of amazing. Yeah, your eyelashes
and how important they are. One was

74
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:25.319
the last time you thought of your
eyelashes as loose as dudes? I mean,

75
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:29.480
girls, you know have stuff they
do. Yeah, I don't think

76
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:31.360
about them that much. I never
think about them until long gets stuck in

77
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:34.720
your eye and you're like, God, get out. I do think about

78
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:39.079
eyebrows when I go to get my
haircut and the lady goes, do you

79
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:41.879
want me to train your eyebrows?
I'm like, God, really, it's

80
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.959
come to this. Do you get
the old man with the renegade, you

81
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:47.920
know, wild wild one. I
just feel like, if I don't keep

82
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:54.879
that maintained, I'm gonna look like
some London eighty five year old London banister,

83
00:06:55.600 --> 00:07:00.920
you know, like some lawyer ram. And you've seen just the guys

84
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.680
that don't maintain their eyebrows when they
get to be like nighty and they're just

85
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:09.319
these massive gray caterpillars that live on
top of their eyes. I have the

86
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:13.959
big industrial grade clippers, you know, yeah, the quality ones. One

87
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:15.759
of the best gifts I ever got. A friend of mine got me that

88
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:20.040
when I shave my head, and
you can use it for everything. But

89
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.160
if you have a guard on it
and you know which one it is,

90
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:30.439
you just zip your eyebrows take a
quarter of a second. And those British

91
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:38.560
banisters they go many decades without.
I wonder if they're proud of that though,

92
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:42.639
Like that's like they'll style them like
it looks like they're like kind of

93
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:46.480
like curling them up. And then
what about the old men that just refuse

94
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:50.839
to trim their nosehirs, right,
I mean they probably don't have the modern

95
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:54.600
you know, I have another nose
trimmer too, Yeah, okay, for

96
00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:58.040
you just shove it in there.
And if they don't have one. How

97
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:01.160
do you do it? You need
little tiny scissors and someone else maybe to

98
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:05.399
care, or someone to care.
Maybe I don't know, but god,

99
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:09.240
you're right. Ears and nose,
Yeah, here it comes. You know

100
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:16.000
what's funny looking at you right now? Because personally for me, my eyebrows.

101
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:18.800
When I was younger, I had
the biggest, darkest eyebrows, and

102
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:24.040
they've faded, like there's less hair
up there, and they've also gotten a

103
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:30.040
little bit blonder. You have actually
really full eyebrows. They're just like blonde

104
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:35.519
as can be. So I'm just
saying, bottom line is what I'm saying

105
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:37.600
is it's almost you could just shave
them off and nobody would know. And

106
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:43.879
I dresses Charlie villenuay of it.
Yes, uh yeah, no, Well

107
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:48.279
I think they're very fair. Thank
your eyebrows. It's not a compliment,

108
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:52.840
it's an observation. You said,
I'm fair, and I try to be

109
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:56.440
fair to everyone I meet. I'm
in the Golden Rule Party. I'm president

110
00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:01.000
presidential nominee in the Golden Rule Party. Uh. I think if I had

111
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.480
all my hair, I would be
that color. I'd be blondie boy.

112
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:09.879
Imagine how even hotter you look like
a surfer. Yes, I know,

113
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:15.080
like the cool swooping bangs. I
had blonde hair when I was a little

114
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:18.240
boy, and it got a little
browner, darker when I was in high

115
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.600
school whatever until we had to bid
Farewell, what about your brother? Did

116
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:26.039
he have blonde hair as well?
No, this was always darker than mine.

117
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.720
No. I was a toe head, which is the term. I

118
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:33.000
didn't know until a teacher wrote it
in my yearbook when I was in first

119
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:39.559
grade. I'm like, what that? What is that? Possibly? Toe

120
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:46.639
head? A few missus damage.
Well, Malki's a toehead right now,

121
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:48.600
but that's going to go away,
do you wish? What's I mean?

122
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:54.639
Blonde? It's cute as it can
be. I was blonde when I was

123
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.080
a baby. His mom was too, and we're both you know, she's

124
00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:03.000
a brune at full on dark hair, and I'm my hair is the color

125
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.840
of a rat. Oh, you're
great, Well, it is the color

126
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.159
of a rat. The color is
very basic. But you have basic bitch

127
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:15.679
hair cuting, incredibly nice hair.
You're so ridiculous. Yeah, beautiful brows.

128
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:18.720
Your hair is cool always. Okay, I don't know if that's you,

129
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:22.720
I don't know. And touch it
and woke up out of bed in

130
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.240
a scramble to make coffee because I
forgot to last night. This is me.

131
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:28.919
It's great, this is me,
This is me. It's beautiful hair.

132
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:33.720
You're a good looking dude. Stop
we think you're beautiful. JJ,

133
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:39.759
Good morning, Good morning. Yeah, you know when you get on microphone,

134
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:45.559
huh, why don't you take I
just feel like we should give JJ

135
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:50.799
every opportunity to, you know,
just develop her own self on the air

136
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:52.440
and everything. So just take a
nice thirty seconds to say good morning to

137
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:56.960
the Metroplex. Maybe tell them have
a great weekend, let them know the

138
00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:01.120
holiday season is coming up. Here's
here's JJ. Just a nice message to

139
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:03.399
our restarting everybody. It's going to
get better throughout the day. I know

140
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:09.559
it a little foggy in my throat, but I feel fine. You know,

141
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:13.919
yesterday we talked a little bit six
seconds. We talked a little bit

142
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:16.840
about if you and I Mikey had
read the Bible. I'd like to take

143
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:22.639
this opportunity for JJ to maybe read
it. Of her favorite lead us in

144
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:28.840
scripture, JJ and Google Longest.
So JJ showed up in here as she

145
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.000
does every morning, to tell us
how to and I was like, damn,

146
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:37.320
are you sick? And she said
no, but her voice sounds a

147
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:41.279
little compromised. I think somebody HiT's
the weather changing, like it's I have

148
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:45.559
really bad allergies and so starting to
get to me a little bit. I

149
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:48.919
feel fine, though, I really
do. Okay, I can't even tell

150
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:52.440
you sound great. I bet if
she came closer there would be hints of

151
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.720
tequila. Yeah, is this tequila
base where you had a big movie premiere

152
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:00.519
last night that you're not telling us
that you're not allowed to talk about.

153
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.480
Yeah, buddy sent me some tequila. What was his name? Josh sent

154
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:07.200
some socorro Oh, you know,
I got a little late last night.

155
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:11.960
What it is? Do you ever
see that meme of some student videos?

156
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:15.000
Is teacher and it's his old It's
like an old man. It looks like

157
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:18.240
Bobby Knight and he wears just like
Khaki's in a different colored shirt. And

158
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:22.679
they have like a quick cut of
twenty five times of him walking into the

159
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:24.919
classroom. He's like, good morning, class, it down and he says

160
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:28.399
the exact same thing every day.
Have you ever seen that one? No?

161
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:30.120
I don't know why I've seen it, and it's stuck with me,

162
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.879
but we could do that with JJ
because she's so sweet. Every morning she

163
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:39.879
comes in and she says the exact
same thing, Marna boys every day,

164
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:41.559
and then she tells us to sit
down. Yeah, and then she says,

165
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:45.159
sit down, this is here's your
run sheet. This is what's gonna

166
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.120
be on your show today. Pay
attention. It is sweet. It's a

167
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:52.919
nice I love. I love the
routine of that. Yeah too, like

168
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:56.840
see your boys, I see your
shadowy figure lurking in the hallways and as

169
00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:58.320
she approaches the glass door, I'm
like, ah, there she is,

170
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:03.799
all right, so real quick,
we have fun show today. My brother

171
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:09.080
Cash is going to join us.
Speaking of he's mister fun. He's joined

172
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:13.200
us for probably a couple hours.
He's getting he's a nasty bitch getting too.

173
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:18.679
Yeah. I booked him for seven
thirty AM and before that seven o'clock

174
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:24.960
during sports at seven, we're gonna
go live to London, England, where

175
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:28.440
our friends friends of the show,
Sam Sage and Ben Hawking stand by.

176
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:33.559
They are two of the three co
hosts of the late Breaking F one podcast.

177
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:37.320
I love them again. They're funny
dudes, and just like last time,

178
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:41.759
probably more of it is going to
be about the remainder of their trip

179
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:45.799
to Austin their first time in Texas. Trust me, they have a couple

180
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:48.919
of funny observations for Brits coming to
Texas for the first time. And we

181
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:52.039
just hit the tip of the iceberg
when we had them on live from Austin

182
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:56.240
because they had just arrived. But
they spend like a whole nother week,

183
00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:00.600
did a bunch of stuff. And
then we're obviously gonna get in to a

184
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:05.759
little bit the madness of F one
in Las Vegas this weekend. That's happening

185
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:07.399
right now. But the reason I
even I mean, I want to tease

186
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:09.679
ahead. So if you like F
one seven o'clock, if you just like

187
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:13.879
funny people, they're hilarious and they're
great people. So we'll have a good

188
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:18.759
time though at seven. But that
little countdown I did at the beginning of

189
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:24.399
the show was I was counting down
something I was watching on TV because these

190
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:28.840
dudes finished racing. They were still
racing their practice stuff on the streets of

191
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:35.879
Vegas when we opened our microphones this
morning fourteen minutes ago. Because look,

192
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:39.559
the sports world, and this is
a big thing in sports, you know,

193
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:43.080
and I understand there's sports that I
like more than others, and some

194
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:45.480
I'm like, all right, I
don't really care. And I imagine if

195
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:48.279
you are anti racing or anti F
one, you're probably already whipped. Much

196
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:52.480
like Taylor and Travis like all right, I don't want to hear any more

197
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:54.399
about it. But this is huge. They're racing thro the f and streets

198
00:14:54.399 --> 00:15:01.879
of Las Vegas and there's been a
multi year three three I think, build

199
00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:05.480
up to this weekend to this specific
Vegas race. Oh my god. Yes,

200
00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:11.240
and they're shutting down the strip even
street tracks. You don't do anything

201
00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:13.960
as ambitious as this, and this
is huge. And it's also this race

202
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:18.320
is also owned by Liberty Media,
which is the company that owns Formula one.

203
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:20.279
This is the only race that's like
their baby. They're saying, we

204
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:24.159
got this watch. So there were
eyes on this from all over the world.

205
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:28.080
And if you think NBA Twitter is
wild or whatever, the wild,

206
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:31.320
this sports Twitter is, which we
know is fun f on Twitter is crazy.

207
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:35.840
The politics of it, it's just
it's very juicy once you get immersed

208
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:37.360
in it. And I'm not even
suggesting you do if it's not your thing,

209
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:41.600
but it's really great. So anyway, the build up to this thing

210
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:46.320
was wild, so much so that
the first practice FP one was last night,

211
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:50.519
started at ten thirty pm. I'm
usually out cold by then, but

212
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:52.480
I stayed up. I'm like,
I just want to see the cars hit

213
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:54.639
the track for the very first time. I want to see what it looks

214
00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:56.519
like. I want to see it
with all the lights on. I want

215
00:15:56.559 --> 00:16:00.960
to get my first whiff of this
thing. So I was up and you

216
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:03.879
put it on, and there they
go, like the clock starts, and

217
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:08.000
it's like, my god, after
all the years of anticipation, they're ripping

218
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:11.000
it. They're going out on the
damn track and they're really trying to fin

219
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:12.399
I mean, they're slipping around a
little, they're trying to figure out the

220
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:18.000
new, newly paved asphalt, how
their tires are gonna work in these cooler

221
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:19.200
conditions. Whatever. And wean't to
talk about some of that with the boys

222
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:26.159
at seven o'clock. But with all
the scrutiny and eyeballs on this thing,

223
00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:36.600
nine minutes into the first practice session, a friggin drain hole cover comes off

224
00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:40.279
on the main stretch and Carlos Sign, who's one of the two Ferrari drivers,

225
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:45.879
drives over it annihilates the bottom of
his car pulls to the side of

226
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:49.960
the road. They shut down FP
one, all cars to the garage,

227
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:56.360
and we had an instant disaster on
our hands. WHOA, did you see

228
00:16:56.360 --> 00:17:00.399
this happen? Yes, you said, nine minutes into nine minutes, nine

229
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:04.920
minutes into a one hour FP one, which is a free practice one.

230
00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:07.720
This is the first time these dudes
are gonna I mean they need this time

231
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:12.200
to learn the track obviously, to
fine tune the cars and twist and tweak

232
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:17.160
and figure out breaking zones, all
this stuff. Nine minutes in and he

233
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:22.039
wasn't the only one, I think
Esteban Oconn and the Alpine Alpine Car,

234
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:26.640
which is a cool car because Ryan
Reynolds is invested in them now and Rory

235
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:29.799
McElroy. They're going kind of the
celebrity investor route, which is going to

236
00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:32.640
help this weekend be wheels off because
most of those dudes are gonna be there.

237
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:37.960
Their car, they're under the underside
of the car is just gutted.

238
00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:41.880
What do you do? Do they
have a backup car? Surely they got

239
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:44.680
a couple of backup cars, right, Yes, they have backup cars,

240
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.119
but the chassis is one of the
base things that you don't want to have

241
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:51.640
to replace. And I don't know
how many you have, or I really

242
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:56.799
don't. Maybe you have one or
one per one per driver on a team,

243
00:17:56.839 --> 00:17:59.000
so maybe two. I really,
I really don't know how many f

244
00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:03.599
and chassis you bre you have replaceable
parts and fronted front noses and you know,

245
00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:07.680
front wings, all the stuff that
traditionally comes comes off a car gets

246
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:11.039
busted. How do they run over
a manhole or whatever it was? It

247
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:15.720
was a drain hole. It was
about the size of maybe like a fire

248
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:18.279
hydrant, like a fire hose,
like that size of a hose, like

249
00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:22.640
maybe whatever, five inches across,
just a hole in the ground, hole

250
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:26.680
in the ground that the top was
supposed to be welded on, but I

251
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:30.480
guess the ring around it got loose, comes off. So suddenly something now

252
00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:36.400
this size is the size of a
giant softball JJ is loose on the track

253
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:38.200
and you drive over it. And
these things are only an inches softball.

254
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:41.480
Don't worry about it. Yeah,
I said, softball, you love softball.

255
00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:45.559
You're the best softball player. R
I know that's it. Run over

256
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:49.400
it and got anyway? Yeahs show
nine minutes in. I mean this place

257
00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:56.400
is pretty packed in the crowds,
although because the politics of some people wanting

258
00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:00.000
this to fail. You know how
it works. Guard F one is like,

259
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:03.279
oh, great mother, American race. We've been trying to get a

260
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:06.920
race in this country forever, and
you guys give another America race just because

261
00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:10.000
they know they want our money and
all this. It's basically like kids at

262
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:11.839
a school going to the same school
for ten years and this new kid comes

263
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:15.920
to school and he's his famous or
his parents are rich. Everyone in the

264
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:19.079
school's gonna be like if this guy, we hate this guy. And then

265
00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:22.319
on this new kid's first day of
school, he pees himself just a little

266
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:26.799
bit and everyone sees it. That's
what happened last night as I was going

267
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:30.440
to bed, is they finally hit
the track, Like are you talking about

268
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:36.400
on So you're nine minutes into the
opening of real racing event of this entire

269
00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:40.799
weekend, and nine minutes into it
a car gets destroyed. There's a fault

270
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:45.160
in the track. Yep. So
the haters on Twitter are just oh,

271
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:48.400
my losing it right, and they're
liking it. They're happy that you are

272
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:52.240
failing in front of us. Well, you also mentioned yesterday that the locals

273
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:56.599
in Vegas are not digging this whatsoever. Yeah, because they're kind of tearing

274
00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:00.599
up their town, right, yes, and shutting everything down for a long

275
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:03.960
time and cutting down trees and putting
up grandstands. Yes. Now, the

276
00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:08.000
argument from F one is that,
and you know this the funniest thing in

277
00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:12.319
sports is you're non factoring in the
economic impact that we're bringing in. And

278
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:17.880
they claim they're going to bring in
one point something billion dollars. They claim

279
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:22.200
the economic impact of this race being
in Vegas will be twice as much as

280
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:26.920
when Vegas hosts the Super Bowl.
I don't have any idea why. Okay,

281
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:34.480
that's where that fantastic. And speaking
from someone who has heard that rhetoric

282
00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:40.000
for about the last ten years about
how Texas OU just brings in so much

283
00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:44.119
money to our economy. Maybe as
a whole, but when you extrapolate it

284
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:45.839
out over all the businesses, I
mean, really is it? Are you

285
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:49.960
making your nut because of Texas Ou? No? You know what we'll do

286
00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:55.640
on Saturday night at twilight, Maybe
we'll ring six hundred dollars more than we

287
00:20:55.720 --> 00:21:00.960
normally did because all of the OKI's
and the tea are in town. Yeah,

288
00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:07.640
you don't really see as a business
owner a direct impact or or or

289
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:11.720
a huge huge windfall of benefit from
these events. But yeah, when you

290
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:17.519
add it all up, you know, Nichols, the guy with the biggest

291
00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:19.519
bag of Nichols is going to have
a lot of money, and the city

292
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:23.960
as a whole may benefit from that. But I just don't see how I

293
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:29.200
can see why the locals are like, is it really worth it to have

294
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:33.480
this big inconvenience and yeah, no, not to locals at all. Yeah,

295
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:40.240
even and what which locals actually benefit? And another thing, yeah,

296
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:42.359
I guess so like that doesn't help
the guy who can't get to work,

297
00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:49.279
exactly. But we've seen this time
and time again when these international cities go

298
00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:55.519
through so much stuff to obtain the
Olympics, dude, exactly. And you

299
00:21:55.559 --> 00:22:02.559
see the infrastructure that it takes them
four years to build up, and structures

300
00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:06.640
that didn't exist before, and then
you see the aftermath of it, and

301
00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:11.640
it's just like a nuclear bomb went
off in those areas Brazil, they just

302
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:15.480
fall apart not many years ago,
and Brazil, which has an incredibly high

303
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:22.119
poverty rate and millions of people living
in favelas, and they build a golf

304
00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:26.559
course and a you know, all
this stuff and then yes, they're essentially

305
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:30.279
defunct. And you look at those
areas now and they're just in various states

306
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:33.960
of entropy, you know, with
weeds growing over them and moss and just

307
00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:37.440
no attention to them at all.
Really rich people might not be telling us

308
00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:41.000
the truth all the time. They're
just kind of doing what they want and

309
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:45.720
justifying it with a lot of words, and then the carpetbaggers grab their money

310
00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:48.279
and they go to the next town. Of course, of course I think

311
00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:53.079
this is I think this is beeped. So this is Toto Wolf's He's the

312
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:57.799
day who runs Mercedes, right,
okay, and Mercedes for a long time

313
00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:03.839
was the by what Red Bull is
now like the best team dominant Lewis Hamilton,

314
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:07.480
that's where he won almost all of
his championships. And Toto Wolf is

315
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:10.559
this dude who's their team principal.
He's also like six' five and he's

316
00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:15.640
really handsome and he's Austrian, I
think, and he's like really really cool,

317
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:17.920
like you kind of can't take your
eyes off him whenever he talks.

318
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:21.680
But it's so funny because I go
back front yeah, yeah, like six

319
00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:29.079
five zach Efron, but go to
the politics because they're defending Liberty Media,

320
00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:32.519
who owns F one, bought it
in twenty seventeen and was responsible for Drive

321
00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:37.400
to Survive and their popularity. Now, so are these guys defending their boss

322
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:44.039
or are they actually whatever? So
here's Toto Wolf after the media in Vegas,

323
00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:48.359
the European media mostly is like,
oh, total, this is a

324
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:52.319
complete disaster, correct, you know, like they are just trying to push

325
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:56.119
him into a corner. Can you
even there? Trying to talk bad about

326
00:23:56.119 --> 00:24:03.000
the event that sets the new standards, new standards to everything, and then

327
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:07.440
you're then you're speaking about a drain
cover that's been undone, that has happened

328
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:11.039
before. That's nothing. It's FP
one. Give credit to the people that

329
00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:15.279
have set up this gruandbrix that have
that have made this sport much bigger than

330
00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:22.000
it ever was. You can have
you ever spoken good about someone and written

331
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:25.240
a good word? You should about
all these people that have been out here.

332
00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:27.960
Liberty has done an awesome job.
And just because in f P one

333
00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:33.440
a drain cover has become undone,
we shouldn't be we shouldn't be moaning the

334
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:37.599
car is broken. That's really a
shame for Carlos. It could have been.

335
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:40.400
It could have been dangerous, So
between the fake and the track and

336
00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:44.000
everybody needs to analyze how we can
make sure that this is not happening again.

337
00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:48.119
But talking here about the black eye
for the spot on a Thursday evening,

338
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:55.920
nobody watches that in European time anyway, Ah, who's he actually talking

339
00:24:55.960 --> 00:25:00.359
to the media. He's on on
a stage talking to assembled media. They

340
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:06.039
have multiple team principles. So is
he just kind of or some ass whip

341
00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:10.160
media member he's responding to a comment
or a question because the guy said,

342
00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:11.799
oh, is this a black guy
on the sport? Because they wanted to

343
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:15.400
fail? And again I don't I'm
not really on a side. It was

344
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:18.119
a disaster. It was a complete
disaster nine minutes in to shut down their

345
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:22.440
first practice. How much of what
he's saying is accurate or is saving face

346
00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:27.160
too? A combination of about it
and backing up liberty media. Who's the

347
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:32.920
they own Formula one and they are
I think he's right at the beginning to

348
00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:34.880
like, how who are you to
say this is a black eye for the

349
00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:41.400
sport when we're doing something that's bigger
than more ambitious than anything the sport's ever

350
00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:45.319
done. I don't know. I
don't have a side of it. I

351
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:48.039
mean, it's a it's a disaster. But anyway, all that said,

352
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:52.880
I so I go to bed on
my side watching it, watching Martin Brundle

353
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:57.480
or whoever talking about trying to like
sugarcoat it a little bit like surely they'll

354
00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:02.720
get this fixed. They were up
all the night patching every drain on the

355
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:06.960
track, asphalting them down, whatever. And I was shocked this morning when

356
00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:11.000
I woke up and they are in
the middle of FP two, like they've

357
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:17.640
been trying to get this thing finished
all night and they completed it is second

358
00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:19.440
we went on the air. They
could they know they complete? Yeah,

359
00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:23.000
they completed FP two When we went
on the air twenty five minutes ago.

360
00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:27.599
They were still racing in last in
the streets of Las Vegas, like they're

361
00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:30.880
planning to go late night with this. But I could I was. I

362
00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:33.960
just wanted to wake up and be
like, oh my god, is the

363
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:37.319
world of F one on fire?
Did they cancel the whole Grand Prix?

364
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:41.279
So basically, if you are staying
on the strip, if the light from

365
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:45.880
the sphere wasn't keeping you up all
night, yeah, maybe the sound of

366
00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:49.960
the roaring engines with cars that have
three thousand horse powers going in circles all

367
00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:55.359
night long? Did yes exactly?
Or the welding yeah, or the welder's

368
00:26:55.519 --> 00:27:02.119
masks geez. Well, I mean
they got it fixed and the track is

369
00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:06.640
fine. Now, I guess,
well they made it through I think without

370
00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:08.839
a problem. I think I don't
know because I was getting ready and driving

371
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:11.319
here, like, I haven't got
the report on how i FP two went,

372
00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:15.039
but it looks like like in that
first one they didn't even really open

373
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:18.960
it up and go, like nobody
really completed real laps. So I think

374
00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:22.200
now they have and uh, I
don't know, we'll figure it out.

375
00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:25.359
So I think they're okay as of
right now. But it's F one so

376
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:27.680
okay, Well, glass half full. It's better to get this out of

377
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:33.880
the way now than this not happening
and then it happening Saturday night. Oh

378
00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:37.720
yeah, oh yeah, because then
the actual race got interrupted by that and

379
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:41.640
you have to red flag the race
because the track was unsafe. Yeah,

380
00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:44.599
and you've got welders out all night
long, and you resume the race at

381
00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:48.880
four in the morning exactly. Really
yeah, But I mean it's a it's

382
00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:53.680
a pretty speedy timeline because tonight before
I go to sleep, I'll watch FP

383
00:27:53.759 --> 00:28:00.000
three, the third practice and qualifying, which is almost as important as the

384
00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:03.880
race is qualifying. And when does
that start? That'll be tonight at I

385
00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:07.079
don't know, midnight. I'll find
out the exact time. Why are they

386
00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:08.880
doing this stuff so late? I
don't know that either. I know they

387
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:11.440
want it to be under the lights. Well, I mean, didn't it

388
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:17.359
get dark in Vegas at like six
o'clock their time? Yeah, that's it's

389
00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:18.759
a very simple and great question.
I don't know, and we can ask

390
00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:22.799
our friends. Look, I was
hesitant to even do one F one segment

391
00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:25.720
today, which we were gonna do
with our boys from London, Live from

392
00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:29.559
London at seven o'clock, and then
there I went off into two. So

393
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:33.839
sorry, but it's just so damn
juicy. All right, it's me and

394
00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:37.359
Danny today, No kevioh. He's
in New York having a time of his

395
00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:40.960
life. Coming up next it's the
most important thing in the world, and

396
00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:45.440
uh, we're gonna do it again. New Bastards dropped at midnight last night,

397
00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:48.680
and I want to spend a couple
of Danny's band's new release songs,

398
00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:52.559
and I have questions. That's next
on ninety seven on the Free
