Fortnite Ruined Forza Horizon 5
Show Notes Transcript

It's our first episode! Apologies in advance for the audio quality on this one. We give you a quick intro on how things started for Forza World, what things used to look like on Forza-Instagram 10 years ago, and why now was the time to start this show. Jason has several complaints about all these Hyundai commercials straight out of the gate. Aren wastes no time and makes a case for why Fortnite ruined Forza Horizon 5. We also get into some Miami GP talk, ridiculous gas prices (our condolences if you're in Europe), and a bit of beer talk too. The boys also announce some F1 and motorsport events they'll be attending in the summer.  All this, plus tons of nonsense on the first-ever episode of the Forza World Podcast.

00;00;08;01 - 00;00;45;13
Speaker 1
One more. Two more. The recording. Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Forza World podcast. This is the very first episode that we are recording. It's been ten years in the making that we've been waiting to do this, so we're excited to finally be here. We're excited to do this. And now let's get right into it.

00;00;45;13 - 00;00;50;04
Speaker 2
Yeah, yeah. I mean, beforehand, like it's been like Aaron says, ten years.

00;00;51;00 - 00;00;52;23
Speaker 1
Because he started this in March 2013.

00;00;53;03 - 00;01;14;04
Speaker 2
Yeah. So like, I mean, I was submitting my own stuff prior, like people who might not know the background of how we started and everything. It's for the majority been an Instagram page and prior to me starting it, it was like two or three guys that would take pictures and post them and people would submit stuff kind of like what's, you know, everybody does now.

00;01;14;07 - 00;01;17;17
Speaker 2
Yeah, but back then it was like two guys. Yeah, that was it.

00;01;17;20 - 00;01;29;08
Speaker 1
And there were only because I remember following the three or four big pages that were on Instagram because there weren't many. There were so few for the pages on on Instagram.

00;01;29;08 - 00;01;47;17
Speaker 2
Because for the international for as a fan page and then somebody else that was that. Yeah. And I love submitting stuff to it but yeah, that's how this page started. It grew and it grew and I mean as the game grew rate with more and in-game video options and different shareable things, I mean, that's how we got hooked up.

00;01;47;19 - 00;02;07;20
Speaker 2
Yeah, right. Like, I mean, that's. That's how we met. Yeah. Like, it was just I'm always like, this guy sending in like six shy after six shot. And it got me thinking like, well, why don't we do, like, all these other different sort of like group pages? So there was like for the Canada, of course, America for Europe, for Australia, for Japan, and all these guys were from those respective countries.

00;02;08;03 - 00;02;10;15
Speaker 1
But they didn't start until what for Horizon three?

00;02;11;17 - 00;02;15;24
Speaker 2
It was two and three. Two and three. Yeah. Because there was, there was a couple little pages here and there.

00;02;15;27 - 00;02;24;16
Speaker 1
Because I remember I was initially going to run for Europe and then he found out that I was from Canada. Yes. And then you're going to, like you said, nope. We're going to switch it over to for as a candidate. Yeah.

00;02;24;17 - 00;02;43;11
Speaker 2
Actually, what it was was it was me. There was a page called for the Universe and then I had Forza Horizon two and those were kind of the three pages. And I thought, okay, we can do way more than this. Yeah. And again, like, this doesn't sound groundbreaking now like it like isn't, but it was kind of unheard of at the time.

00;02;43;11 - 00;03;01;28
Speaker 2
Like there was not this like group of like four pages. There was really only like still even that like 15 pages, right. And that yeah. That's on the Internet. And now it just kind of worked out. He was out in Ontario for those who don't know, like we're both Canadian. You couldn't tell by my goddamn accent.

00;03;02;21 - 00;03;05;06
Speaker 1
Because it going, yeah, just from up north here.

00;03;05;07 - 00;03;20;18
Speaker 2
So so it's like legit. Yeah. I'm, you know, met on an Xbox and I mean, now we're living in the same city. Like, it's pretty crazy and he was from Edmonton and I'm from this pathetic town called Sarnia, which is about 3 hours away from Toronto. Really? Yeah.

00;03;20;26 - 00;03;22;04
Speaker 1
It is quite pathetic.

00;03;22;11 - 00;03;23;00
Speaker 2
It's not good.

00;03;23;02 - 00;03;27;06
Speaker 1
It's not. The only thing that we have going for us is a bridge and everything is named bridge.

00;03;27;06 - 00;03;37;15
Speaker 2
There is a bridge out of this country, thankfully, like 10 minutes from here. Yes. It doesn't take you to a much better country, but there is more food options. So I'm okay with that. The driving roads in Michigan are terrible.

00;03;37;21 - 00;03;39;02
Speaker 1
Didn't they didn't they break your car?

00;03;39;12 - 00;03;59;12
Speaker 2
It did break my car. They broke my car. Broke down today. It shouldn't have broke down. Oh, yeah. So beat beat the wheels beat the literal wheels off my car. I fucking Michigan. But yeah that's another thing too. This, this podcast is going to be vulgar. It'll be looking vulgar, actually. And I mean, yeah, I'm really tough. Very tough.

00;03;59;24 - 00;04;13;00
Speaker 2
But it's true. Like, I mean, that was one of the other things and you might ask, well, what took us so long, right? It's been ten years. We haven't done a show. We have done a podcast, we haven't gone on camera. Really. You this year. That was it. You know, and I mean.

00;04;13;11 - 00;04;17;20
Speaker 1
I mean, we did the brief thing with with driven with yeah. We did big thing with live.

00;04;17;20 - 00;04;39;03
Speaker 2
Yeah. We just we started to kind of get into it with Driven 21 and we were enjoying it really and it just felt like now is the time. It felt like we could be kind of an interesting voice where we can talk about force, we can talk about motorsports and cars and just the culture in general, working on your own car and stupid stuff.

00;04;39;03 - 00;04;54;15
Speaker 2
Like, I don't know, I just, I don't know of anybody really who kind of blends all of that together. There's so many great people out there who are really good at one individual thing. Yeah. And I just, I don't know, I want to give a little bit different flavor and I just want to have some fun with it, really.

00;04;54;22 - 00;05;07;21
Speaker 2
And one of the ways I think we can have some fun with that is being honest and being vulgar and being open about it and giving opinions about the game and stuff like that, and about cars in general, like I to complaints.

00;05;08;01 - 00;05;09;10
Speaker 1
So only to.

00;05;09;14 - 00;05;21;20
Speaker 2
Yeah, I was like I was going to as opposed to say, let's just get into it but I'm going to go a little different direction is going to talk for the but this is not just an all for us a podcast in reality is probably one of the least things we talk about is I mean a variety of.

00;05;21;20 - 00;05;29;07
Speaker 1
Everything. Yeah, force is definitely going to be something that we, we talk about, but it's going to be more about the community itself. Yeah.

00;05;29;07 - 00;05;53;13
Speaker 2
It's just it's going to be a nice mix. And yes, he heard this earlier complaining like I, I am so sick of every look at me, okay? I am so sick of all these Hyundai commercials. I can't take it. No, that's it. Like, it's just they're everywhere. They got this stupid El Camino looking thing, and it just got this, like, demented face on.

00;05;53;24 - 00;06;08;08
Speaker 2
They got this stupid SUV keys in, like, oh, my God. And it's just like every I don't know how it is worldwide. I know we got a lot of people, you know, in Europe and everything. Yeah, there are so many goddamn Hyundai commercials and I can't like. It's a lot. If it was a cool car, give me an alpha commercial or something.

00;06;08;24 - 00;06;09;25
Speaker 2
It's every.

00;06;10;23 - 00;06;12;21
Speaker 1
I don't know, third or fourth commercial. Yeah.

00;06;12;21 - 00;06;17;05
Speaker 2
And like sometimes in the same string like back to back, I just take it it's so dumb.

00;06;17;05 - 00;06;21;06
Speaker 1
And the lady that does it, she's half American. Half Australian. Yeah.

00;06;21;14 - 00;06;26;20
Speaker 2
Yeah. If you know what he's talking about, this woman changes her accent.

00;06;27;12 - 00;06;29;00
Speaker 1
Mids mid-sentence, and.

00;06;29;00 - 00;06;50;09
Speaker 2
She's just like all over the world, like ancestry.com all over the place. And it's like, what accent does she have? So she's. I can't do any accents, but she's got, like, this Australian thing going on and she kind of sounds like she's like really drugged up, but she's British. Like it's, it's just so weird for a Korean car company advertising in Canada.

00;06;50;09 - 00;07;07;13
Speaker 2
In America. It's, it's it's bizarre. So I'm sick of Honda. I'm sick of the commercials. If this somehow gets in front of somebody who runs that marketing division, stop. Please. Just do what everybody else does. Put some EDM song on and just fucking. Oh, it's fucking leather. It's got leather. Unreal.

00;07;07;20 - 00;07;12;29
Speaker 1
What was that one brand that we saw a car commercial for that was just absolutely perfect where there was just music.

00;07;13;06 - 00;07;13;24
Speaker 2
Volvo.

00;07;13;25 - 00;07;14;26
Speaker 1
Volvo. Volvo.

00;07;14;27 - 00;07;21;27
Speaker 2
Matthew not Polestar. Volvo. They make good commercials, too, but. Oh, my. I don't remember what song they picked.

00;07;21;28 - 00;07;23;01
Speaker 1
No.

00;07;23;01 - 00;07;30;13
Speaker 2
Oh, God dammit. Present plan. New Order on Monday. Blue Monday.

00;07;30;17 - 00;07;37;08
Speaker 1
Yes. So that's it. That's all you need. You just need a good a good song with a good vibe and just be raw footage.

00;07;37;08 - 00;07;45;16
Speaker 2
Yeah, unreal song, you know, fantastic. And I don't know, what was that song? And Erin Oh, was that song?

00;07;45;17 - 00;07;47;08
Speaker 1
And I don't know, was it Horizon one?

00;07;47;09 - 00;08;06;04
Speaker 2
It was. Oh, was it? I knew it. So like it just all comes back to this. And that's actually complaint number two for today. Like, oh, that, that game soundtrack was really good. That not what was going to go with it, but it's just how is this game that's almost as old as for the world? A little bit older, actually.

00;08;06;08 - 00;08;10;16
Speaker 1
You know, it is. It's older because it was introduced in 2012.

00;08;10;29 - 00;08;24;19
Speaker 2
It was a 12. Yeah, it was older. Yeah. Okay. So I mean, how is this game that's not all. Like, how does it how is it still seem like it's better than what's going on now with 45.

00;08;24;19 - 00;08;31;23
Speaker 1
Fortnite. Fortnite. Fortnite ruined it. Why? Fortnite ruined it for everything. So Fortnite, Fortnite, Fortnite, hush. Let me speak.

00;08;31;23 - 00;08;33;28
Speaker 2
Okay? I don't know if you're drunk, man. Jesus.

00;08;33;28 - 00;08;47;26
Speaker 1
Okay, so with. With Fortnite. Fortnite came out with this while epic games in general, they came out with this game model where you'd have weekly content released every single week. And if you didn't play during that week, you missed out on that exclusive content.

00;08;48;04 - 00;08;49;15
Speaker 2
So nobody did that before Fortnite.

00;08;49;15 - 00;08;50;09
Speaker 1
Nobody did that before.

00;08;50;09 - 00;08;52;07
Speaker 2
Fortnite, because that's where the earliest.

00;08;52;07 - 00;08;53;17
Speaker 1
Memory does in 14.

00;08;53;17 - 00;08;53;29
Speaker 2
Okay.

00;08;54;11 - 00;08;59;25
Speaker 1
So because it didn't go four times. Yeah. Yeah. So 2015, I don't know, whatever.

00;08;59;25 - 00;09;00;16
Speaker 2
You're still on.

00;09;00;19 - 00;09;18;28
Speaker 1
Edge, who cares? So you'd have the, the games that would typically come out, you'd have the base game, you'd have the car parks, like speaking of Forza, you had all the car packs that would come out with the seven cars and it would come at monthly, so you'd have something to do for a month and then it would kind of dry up and then you have something to do for a month and then it would kind of driving it, right?

00;09;18;29 - 00;09;27;22
Speaker 1
Whereas now it's just, oh, if you don't play these six events that you've already done 17 times before, you're going to miss out on the new stuff. 94.

00;09;27;25 - 00;09;38;27
Speaker 2
Right? Yeah. Like there's something to be said for that actually, because it's not even like you used to earn cars like it was just the pack would drop, you know, be a tweet or something. You get a DRM on the game.

00;09;39;06 - 00;09;43;05
Speaker 1
You got a car, you'd have an unreal trailer for the car pack.

00;09;43;16 - 00;09;58;07
Speaker 2
The trailers were really good too. I forgot about that. That is true. Also, look it up again. December, December car park for the guys who want the single best like minor DLC like trailer I've ever seen and had no business being that good more advanced song in the background. Yeah so good.

00;09;58;07 - 00;10;00;08
Speaker 1
Ferrari F12 written through Colorado.

00;10;00;08 - 00;10;03;02
Speaker 2
2043 thing.

00;10;03;07 - 00;10;06;24
Speaker 1
It was years is GTA is the GTI.

00;10;07;19 - 00;10;08;13
Speaker 2
Mark for you or something.

00;10;08;13 - 00;10;09;22
Speaker 1
Like that. It was the convertible.

00;10;10;00 - 00;10;17;15
Speaker 2
Yeah, it was. It was a grunt. Yeah. Anyway there was there was a like it was honestly a good pack to begin with. But you make a good point that you don't have to earn.

00;10;17;25 - 00;10;18;01
Speaker 1
Yeah.

00;10;18;09 - 00;10;20;22
Speaker 2
The cars or like you didn't, you.

00;10;20;23 - 00;10;26;10
Speaker 1
Didn't have to earn. You have to earn them now. But the problem is if you miss out on a week, you don't get those car.

00;10;26;10 - 00;10;27;11
Speaker 2
And it's weekly and.

00;10;27;11 - 00;10;45;19
Speaker 1
It's weekly and it's time. It's time. Get it. So if if you or someone like myself has that, you know, one day week where they can play, you have to literally grind out every single game that you own that has that weekly model, and then you just get bored of it because you're like, I don't want to go and play these guys again.

00;10;45;19 - 00;10;48;10
Speaker 1
And then it's just it gets, it gets frustrating.

00;10;48;26 - 00;11;09;08
Speaker 2
So but the problem is you're still right. You mentioned it like it's the same shit over and over and it's like the same challenges and it's like, Oh, it's a different cliff though. And like, this time you have to do it in a convertible. You're like, sweet, okay? And then you go to do it. You like do whatever the circumstances challenge.

00;11;09;08 - 00;11;22;12
Speaker 2
And then it's like, Yeah, but there's like usually like a lead up me to do it in like a certain order or something or whatever. And then it's like, oh, actually, like that's not the right convertible. It's like, what are you talking about? Like, were you talking about that like one of the burgundies or something?

00;11;22;14 - 00;11;29;13
Speaker 1
There was a one season where you had to do a speed zone in a topless supercar.

00;11;30;01 - 00;11;32;06
Speaker 2
Or oftentimes it was the what was the verbiage? They used.

00;11;33;00 - 00;11;35;03
Speaker 1
An open top in open top.

00;11;35;03 - 00;11;36;02
Speaker 2
Supercar. Right.

00;11;36;19 - 00;11;41;07
Speaker 1
So I tried to every neg I tried to do it in the in the Zonda Jinky Roadster.

00;11;42;07 - 00;11;43;15
Speaker 2
Side to side. No, by the way.

00;11;43;27 - 00;11;48;19
Speaker 1
Open tops supercar, open top supercar, single family roadster. No roof.

00;11;48;20 - 00;11;49;19
Speaker 2
Little target. Technically.

00;11;50;17 - 00;11;50;27
Speaker 1
No.

00;11;51;04 - 00;11;51;28
Speaker 2
Is it permanent?

00;11;52;19 - 00;11;57;26
Speaker 1
It's not permanent. There's a fabric hood. That was fabric. Yeah. I don't know. Okay.

00;11;58;21 - 00;12;02;00
Speaker 2
So open top. That is what I would categorize that you have.

00;12;02;00 - 00;12;05;20
Speaker 1
To manually put on the roof. There's no right automatic.

00;12;05;20 - 00;12;06;29
Speaker 2
But there's a hole in the top of it.

00;12;07;01 - 00;12;09;14
Speaker 1
There's a there's okay. So I call it I call it a top open top.

00;12;09;14 - 00;12;11;00
Speaker 2
Okay. Right. Didn't work.

00;12;11;21 - 00;12;12;12
Speaker 1
Incorrect car.

00;12;12;12 - 00;12;12;28
Speaker 2
Stupid.

00;12;12;28 - 00;12;14;21
Speaker 1
Incorrect car. Aventador j didn't work.

00;12;15;22 - 00;12;16;11
Speaker 2
And rigid.

00;12;16;14 - 00;12;17;20
Speaker 1
Aventador J didn't work.

00;12;18;14 - 00;12;23;00
Speaker 2
So I had to. They might categorize it as a track toy, which still is stupid because it is an open top.

00;12;23;00 - 00;12;24;06
Speaker 1
It is an open top supercar.

00;12;24;20 - 00;12;26;13
Speaker 2
Yeah, it is. Yeah.

00;12;27;11 - 00;12;30;12
Speaker 1
But then I had to do it in the Monza and the Monza worked with the Monza in.

00;12;30;12 - 00;12;31;14
Speaker 2
The Monza the same thing.

00;12;31;14 - 00;12;32;08
Speaker 1
Same thing is the speed.

00;12;32;19 - 00;12;34;08
Speaker 2
Is the Monza street legal. Yeah.

00;12;35;21 - 00;12;38;09
Speaker 1
Monza street. But they never made the Aventador J Maybe.

00;12;38;09 - 00;12;44;07
Speaker 2
That hurts my head because it's like well the in Monza like it's the same.

00;12;44;10 - 00;12;45;21
Speaker 1
It's the same concept as the Aventador.

00;12;45;21 - 00;12;58;02
Speaker 2
Are you going to get that specific no game somehow. No. That, that was like the road legal car. The other one wasn't really. It was not. Why not. Yeah exactly. Why not specify that in the requirements. Yeah. Instead of I don't know when you guess when.

00;12;58;02 - 00;13;10;17
Speaker 1
You ask oh what are the, what are the restrictions for this specific event, then you're like oh well you need one of these four, five cars rather than here's a vague description of what you need if you try it, it doesn't work. That sucks.

00;13;10;25 - 00;13;12;14
Speaker 2
Yeah, that's so dumb.

00;13;12;14 - 00;13;36;11
Speaker 1
And another thing I know, this is another thing that we were talking about on how to unlock new cars. I think they should bring back uniform cars, but in a way that makes it so you have to work to unlock them. Yeah. So let's see, you have the C5 Corvette and you had to do a special series of challenges or certain you have to unlock an accolade in that C5 Corvette to unlock the Lincoln felt or C5 Corvette.

00;13;36;24 - 00;13;36;26
Speaker 2
In.

00;13;37;07 - 00;13;39;13
Speaker 1
Which that one was in motorsport.

00;13;39;13 - 00;13;41;23
Speaker 2
Two and three, I would think.

00;13;41;23 - 00;13;42;25
Speaker 1
Was it a three? I think so.

00;13;44;13 - 00;13;48;01
Speaker 2
Yeah. The unicorn cars. I do miss those quite a bit.

00;13;48;01 - 00;13;51;15
Speaker 1
Actually, because Rising Horizon one had them Horizon two didn't.

00;13;52;02 - 00;13;55;10
Speaker 2
It. Did, yeah. That was that I would have in the last game but in the last.

00;13;55;10 - 00;14;04;24
Speaker 1
Game you must be crazy. But yeah. And so yeah it's frustrating to see where the game is going because we know it's capable of more.

00;14;05;09 - 00;14;20;26
Speaker 2
Yeah. And I mean when, when it came out, you know, it's capable. I mean, there's definitely going to be people listening to this that aren't 100% in tune with Forza. You know, they don't know everything about it or, you know, I mean, not that we do either, but I mean, I could definitely make a pretty stiff bet that I know what's wrong with it.

00;14;20;27 - 00;14;21;05
Speaker 1
Yes.

00;14;21;19 - 00;14;26;11
Speaker 2
And it sucks. It really does, because that first two months, it felt different.

00;14;26;17 - 00;14;26;27
Speaker 1
It did.

00;14;26;28 - 00;14;41;09
Speaker 2
And I was like, I'm going to be hooked on this game. I'm going to be playing this game a lot more than three and two. And then it just fell off and I didn't care anymore and I didn't really know why. And actually, you make a good point, though. The weekly stuff. I don't I don't like doing that.

00;14;41;09 - 00;14;54;28
Speaker 2
Like if I want to, I'm going to play my own piece, you know, that it sounds stupid and it's like I'm like, fuck this guy for having like a busy schedule. I mean, you know what? Everybody has the three, but he has that one week where it's like, I can't really get on. It's like, Oh, that f8 tributo or whatever on this week.

00;14;54;28 - 00;14;57;25
Speaker 1
And they have an unreal car and you're like, I really want to unlock this car, but I you.

00;14;57;26 - 00;15;08;29
Speaker 2
Forget or you forget to get right. Like, I mean, yes, it's dumb. Like, I forgot to get the Aventador. J It's my favorite car ever. I love that car and I still don't have it. I think the last time I got it was.

00;15;09;24 - 00;15;10;17
Speaker 1
Was it Horizon.

00;15;10;17 - 00;15;15;01
Speaker 2
Three with Three Island. So yeah, that took forever to like last year.

00;15;15;05 - 00;15;20;07
Speaker 1
Yeah. Which was a long time ago when you think about it. And then, you.

00;15;20;07 - 00;15;23;03
Speaker 2
Know, you were still, you were still an Alberto. I was.

00;15;23;20 - 00;15;31;24
Speaker 1
Yeah. What remember when when I first showed up and the Horizon three demo was released the week that I was in town?

00;15;31;25 - 00;15;36;08
Speaker 2
I know. I know that that was where it all in for me.

00;15;36;13 - 00;15;43;11
Speaker 1
And speaking about Horizon three, I had noticed that I've been replaying Horizon one, two and three more than I've been playing Horizon for five.

00;15;43;21 - 00;16;06;20
Speaker 2
I don't blame you like it's an easier play. And I mean there's definitely some issues with direction. I think in Horizon three, you know, it's a fun game, but there's no obligation of like, like coming back for anything like you're talking about. And then four and five, I think they I don't know, good intentions. I know I understand why they did it, but.

00;16;07;24 - 00;16;08;26
Speaker 1
It didn't quite.

00;16;09;04 - 00;16;09;12
Speaker 2
It.

00;16;09;24 - 00;16;11;07
Speaker 1
Didn't quite fit the the.

00;16;11;07 - 00;16;27;13
Speaker 2
Feel of it doesn't fit. It doesn't fit it. No, no. They don't really understand that. I don't think. And you know what, to be fair, I didn't really know how to articulate that. But I agree. Now that you say it anyways, that's enough. Cause it's hard for today. I know. I'm getting too frustrated. I want to fucking throw my controller or something.

00;16;28;06 - 00;16;29;15
Speaker 1
Not the Horizon five controller.

00;16;29;19 - 00;16;31;14
Speaker 2
No, I love it. I love that controller.

00;16;31;14 - 00;16;32;17
Speaker 1
Probably one of the best controllers.

00;16;32;17 - 00;16;33;01
Speaker 2
Yeah.

00;16;33;06 - 00;16;35;09
Speaker 1
Holy cow. Did you ever get the motorsport?

00;16;35;09 - 00;16;43;13
Speaker 2
Six controller? No, no, no. Because I thought it'd be around for a bit. And they just sold out really quickly, like absurdly.

00;16;43;13 - 00;16;46;17
Speaker 1
Quickly. The bumper and line broke. Yeah, and I can't believe that.

00;16;46;17 - 00;16;49;01
Speaker 2
At least I know. I know. It's too difficult.

00;16;49;06 - 00;16;58;18
Speaker 1
Yeah. So moving away from Forza, how about that Miami GP? I don't know. You want to race, right?

00;16;58;18 - 00;17;15;00
Speaker 2
I did, yeah. And I would say a lot of myself in there and I'm definitely more of the resident F1 guy Aaron and, and I are definitely like shared in our interests. And so it's a series, a little bit of feedback in there, something that general motorsport. Yeah. F1 Yeah. I definitely watch a lot more.

00;17;15;00 - 00;17;18;03
Speaker 1
Yes. And you beat your meat to F1 that's for sure.

00;17;18;03 - 00;17;36;08
Speaker 2
I wouldn't say that the I probably get my yam through it but it's good. Like, I don't know the Miami GP, there was a lot of flash, there's a lot of like cliche F1 garbage where it's like, Oh, this celebrity, not celebrity, this person's a celebrity. Like it was a little bit of that I did a.

00;17;36;08 - 00;17;37;06
Speaker 1
Lot of birthday on to.

00;17;37;18 - 00;17;53;07
Speaker 2
It was it was it was a lot of that and it was just a big spectacle. And I get a lot of people don't like it, myself included. I don't care, just race. But you know what? It was good for the sport like that race will do more single handedly than any other race. Well, tomorrow it. Yeah, right.

00;17;53;11 - 00;18;03;11
Speaker 2
Monaco was just as much of a spectacle. But you're a muppet if you think that's going to grow the sport because it's the same people that are going for 45 years. Yeah, it's the same families. It's the same people, right? Yeah.

00;18;04;02 - 00;18;06;23
Speaker 1
And Michael was such an old track that people know the layout.

00;18;07;10 - 00;18;20;02
Speaker 2
People know everything, and people got the routine down. They know the hotel. They're going to stay there. They know everything. Yeah. So Miami was a new experience cause you're getting all these people down there. You've already got this wave in North America, people being like, Oh, shit, like, this is this is really good.

00;18;20;02 - 00;18;23;14
Speaker 1
Oh, wow. Something where they turn into more than just left. This is crazy.

00;18;23;15 - 00;18;45;17
Speaker 2
There's tire where there's fuel strategies like what's what? So exactly. So it's like, oh, my God, it's good for the sport. That's, that's number one. And I, it honestly is the most important thing about that race, about the Miami GP. Yeah, like a lot of people that was boring. I didn't think it was the most exciting race ever and it was the most boring race either.

00;18;45;17 - 00;19;02;17
Speaker 2
You know, it was like a middle, like middle of the pack race. And you know what, for a first time GP to be right in the middle, that's insane because you still got to work out like issues with like certain chicanes or certain corners. Like I know there was a big issue about.

00;19;02;26 - 00;19;03;28
Speaker 1
Running 1014.

00;19;04;02 - 00;19;21;12
Speaker 2
Something like that didn't have enough barriers and they refused to put them in or it was just to kind of suppress the concrete a little bit. I think some content and like 50 G's on one of the corners and it didn't, I don't know, I look bad and then I didn't look 50 G's bad. Yeah, but looking at the telemetry later, it's like, oh my God.

00;19;21;22 - 00;19;29;25
Speaker 2
So I don't know, it. It accomplished what it needed to accomplish. It's only going to get better. It's in a great spot. Like, I mean, Miami is.

00;19;30;07 - 00;19;38;27
Speaker 1
Prime is Miami is the that's the type of community like that or California. But I mean, California regulations wouldn't even allow Formula One in there. You know, like that's too much noise.

00;19;38;28 - 00;20;02;12
Speaker 2
Isn't that actually a thing, though, is it? I heard somebody say that's like actually part of it because Laguna Seca I heard has some crazy like noise limit that's different than other tracks. I remember hearing this. I remember hearing this. I think what it was was the 911 RCR had that crazy one of the best, probably probably ten exhausts on a motorsport car ever.

00;20;02;25 - 00;20;22;12
Speaker 1
On a quantum motorsport car, yes. Top ten. But for like a GTL lm I'd say. I'd say top three, yeah. Four more modern one Corvette something Corvettes up there. See seven, seven important. And then do you remember the Ford like the old Ford GT, the one with the V8. Do you remember that one. Oh that.

00;20;22;16 - 00;20;25;09
Speaker 2
Yes, it sounded like a sixties cars. Yeah.

00;20;25;18 - 00;20;26;14
Speaker 1
That we really get.

00;20;26;29 - 00;20;33;02
Speaker 2
The modern Ford GT was not as good as new. It's terrible. It sounds like you eating timbits or something.

00;20;33;02 - 00;20;34;20
Speaker 1
I was going to say something like a hoover vacuum.

00;20;34;25 - 00;20;52;10
Speaker 2
It would be great to see something go out in California, whether that be Sonoma, whether that be Laguna Seca, whether that be some other shock. I'm not thinking out because those are the only two I can remember right now, but it would be cool to see something out that way. But you know what? They're kind of is, I guess, in Vegas.

00;20;52;14 - 00;20;56;03
Speaker 1
Speaking of, I was going to give a rant about restrictions.

00;20;56;03 - 00;20;56;15
Speaker 2
Oh, yeah.

00;20;56;22 - 00;21;10;21
Speaker 1
Because you know how especially nowadays, people are like, oh, you can't have a modified exhaust system because it's it's only meant for fear and fear mongering. And you can't it can't be too loud. So let's say.

00;21;10;21 - 00;21;11;26
Speaker 2
That people are insane. Yeah.

00;21;11;27 - 00;21;12;15
Speaker 1
If you want to sing.

00;21;12;21 - 00;21;16;10
Speaker 2
And then the car released by the way. But that's really not going to my point. That's you're going.

00;21;16;10 - 00;21;42;00
Speaker 1
To say that's that's what I'm going to say. So you go to the you go to a Jaguar dealership and you buy a brand new or, you know, slightly used because they're discontinued. The F-Type SVR like the big boy 575 horsepower with one of the most insane soundtracks on a road car or even a gt500. You open up the valves, you go and you go flying down the road and that thing and it's loud.

00;21;42;00 - 00;21;43;03
Speaker 1
Like it echoes.

00;21;43;03 - 00;21;43;17
Speaker 2
You feel it.

00;21;43;17 - 00;22;01;11
Speaker 1
Here. Oh yeah. But then people are all pissed off about stuff like that. I know. Power your fear mongering. I don't like it when your Volkswagen Golf is missing a catalytic converter and slightly too loud. Yeah, but meanwhile, you'll have this pack of like 1617 Harley-Davidsons running down the street and like, boom.

00;22;02;15 - 00;22;05;25
Speaker 2
Yeah. And then the Good Salesperson episode, by the way.

00;22;05;25 - 00;22;09;13
Speaker 1
It's very good. So this is fine. This is fine. I'm not bothered by the sound at all.

00;22;09;14 - 00;22;27;08
Speaker 2
No, I. I don't get it. I don't get the complaints more than anything. It's people almost seem to forget that that's like that goes on. And I would wager they get ticketed less than. Oh yeah, because it's almost commonplace. Like if you have a Harley or you have something like that, like it's just loud and it's just that's the way it is.

00;22;27;08 - 00;22;29;10
Speaker 2
But another set of car bikes.

00;22;29;19 - 00;22;33;15
Speaker 1
You get a loud Harley, no one cares. You get a loud sports bike, everyone loses their mind.

00;22;34;26 - 00;22;35;29
Speaker 2
That is true, isn't it?

00;22;36;04 - 00;22;39;02
Speaker 1
You get like you get a ninja or like.

00;22;39;19 - 00;22;40;07
Speaker 2
A real nice.

00;22;40;23 - 00;22;52;19
Speaker 1
Really nice Ducati, an aprilla. You get like a, I guess, model because these aren't that loud, but, you know, a nice loud Italian sports bike or a Japanese sports bike.

00;22;52;19 - 00;22;54;06
Speaker 2
There is a baseline to it.

00;22;54;06 - 00;23;21;11
Speaker 1
Exactly. But you know that where I buy like 11,000 R.P.M. people are like, oh my God, look at that hooligan racing down the road. True. But then you have some, you know, 70, 80 year old dude on a Harley that has his prostate falling off because he's sitting there vibrating and he gets off his bike and he goes, well, okay, you know, you see you see an old man get off a bike and they're like, you know, who's with the word choice?

00;23;21;17 - 00;23;26;23
Speaker 1
Excuse me, sir, you have Parkinson's. And he's like, No, I drive a Harley. And you're like, Oh, okay, that makes sense.

00;23;26;28 - 00;23;34;01
Speaker 2
I don't like the direction this is going in talking about weird prostate men on bizarre bikes.

00;23;34;01 - 00;23;37;01
Speaker 1
I'm in my image anyways.

00;23;37;01 - 00;23;39;08
Speaker 2
I need to get off of this topic and that is enough.

00;23;39;23 - 00;23;41;15
Speaker 1
You don't like the topic of. I don't.

00;23;41;21 - 00;23;46;05
Speaker 2
I don't. I'm not in the slightest. We need to move away from this. Honestly.

00;23;46;22 - 00;23;48;12
Speaker 1
How is the fuel economy in your car?

00;23;49;10 - 00;23;51;18
Speaker 2
Like in my room. Is it not good?

00;23;51;23 - 00;23;53;02
Speaker 1
No, no, not good.

00;23;53;02 - 00;24;03;08
Speaker 2
It's. I don't know. It's it's not good. No, I think it's I think right now we're at 17 liters per 100.

00;24;03;08 - 00;24;08;10
Speaker 1
I don't even know what that is. Miles per gallon. I don't I'm not I don't know what that is actually. We like.

00;24;09;14 - 00;24;10;12
Speaker 2
Flashing on the screen.

00;24;11;03 - 00;24;12;04
Speaker 1
Or whatever three miles.

00;24;12;04 - 00;24;15;05
Speaker 2
There won't be a screen on the podcast, but if I'm already good.

00;24;15;08 - 00;24;16;05
Speaker 1
Three miles to the gallon.

00;24;16;05 - 00;24;18;07
Speaker 2
And won't be. No, I wouldn't do that. It'd probably be like.

00;24;19;18 - 00;24;19;28
Speaker 1
Eight.

00;24;20;14 - 00;24;22;19
Speaker 2
Knowing it would be like ten.

00;24;22;19 - 00;24;24;06
Speaker 1
Who who are you really.

00;24;24;06 - 00;24;24;20
Speaker 2
Aren't you are.

00;24;24;27 - 00;24;26;24
Speaker 1
Really pushing the boundary there.

00;24;26;24 - 00;24;38;20
Speaker 2
No, I don't know. I don't know how far off I'd be on that but no it hasn't been good. Like I got him so sick of these fuel prices. It's just it's brutal. And you know what's crazy actually is in the UK.

00;24;39;08 - 00;24;41;17
Speaker 1
It's even worse. Really, it's worse.

00;24;41;25 - 00;24;48;00
Speaker 2
Than the sun in Italy. And they were like, I don't know where they were in Italy. It was maybe like nine, a major city or something.

00;24;48;00 - 00;24;52;06
Speaker 1
It would have been diesel I think was like like $7 a liter something when you look regular.

00;24;52;06 - 00;24;53;26
Speaker 2
Oh my God.

00;24;53;26 - 00;24;55;19
Speaker 1
And we're losing our mind that it's $2.

00;24;56;05 - 00;24;57;12
Speaker 2
Yes, it is. $2.

00;24;57;12 - 00;25;00;12
Speaker 1
Yeah, I think it's $2 a liter. And we're having an aneurysm.

00;25;00;12 - 00;25;01;07
Speaker 2
In the States.

00;25;01;07 - 00;25;04;16
Speaker 1
It's for between four and six.

00;25;04;16 - 00;25;05;25
Speaker 2
For 50 a gallon.

00;25;05;25 - 00;25;07;15
Speaker 1
Yeah. Between four and six. Yeah.

00;25;07;15 - 00;25;13;18
Speaker 2
A gallon near us for 50 gallons is the same as I think it's like a dollar 48 liter regular.

00;25;13;18 - 00;25;13;27
Speaker 1
Yeah.

00;25;14;09 - 00;25;17;08
Speaker 2
Which honestly it was that here not long.

00;25;17;08 - 00;25;18;18
Speaker 1
Ago but then. But it's pretty.

00;25;18;18 - 00;25;19;21
Speaker 2
Scaleable with the states.

00;25;20;01 - 00;25;27;26
Speaker 1
Yeah. And the problem is yes it's technically cheaper but as soon as we go down and there's the conversion we're paying just as much realistically.

00;25;29;05 - 00;25;31;16
Speaker 2
Yeah, that is an issue. Yeah.

00;25;31;16 - 00;25;33;04
Speaker 1
So it's, you know.

00;25;33;21 - 00;25;36;06
Speaker 2
We can it's true actually. I've been filling up over there and I'm like.

00;25;36;26 - 00;25;37;20
Speaker 1
It's not really getting, you.

00;25;38;03 - 00;25;38;16
Speaker 2
Know, it's.

00;25;38;16 - 00;25;45;20
Speaker 1
More than a broken car. I don't want to talk about it.

00;25;45;20 - 00;25;48;02
Speaker 2
Yeah, it hasn't been good, to say the least.

00;25;48;03 - 00;25;52;21
Speaker 1
Christmas tree or Christmas tree? How you light up my dashboard?

00;25;52;21 - 00;26;00;23
Speaker 2
Yeah. Cool. So bad. So bad. I might video that when you fix it. I don't know. Well, we'll see. It depends on the problem.

00;26;00;23 - 00;26;02;23
Speaker 1
It was a speed sensor. It was a speed sensor.

00;26;02;23 - 00;26;12;02
Speaker 2
Yeah. I have no idea what that looks like. I've taken that off. I think. I think it's a whole bearing something or something. I don't know. But I'll have to.

00;26;12;23 - 00;26;14;20
Speaker 1
I don't know. I can change my oil.

00;26;15;01 - 00;26;16;02
Speaker 2
I would like.

00;26;16;03 - 00;26;16;14
Speaker 1
Tires.

00;26;16;20 - 00;26;18;17
Speaker 2
Like honestly, I would do anything.

00;26;18;17 - 00;26;21;05
Speaker 1
Brakes on Jeremy Clarkson with the hammer and hope he works.

00;26;21;05 - 00;26;26;24
Speaker 2
Yes, that is me. I would do that. I will do that, actually. Yeah. HAMMER okay. So.

00;26;27;12 - 00;26;47;18
Speaker 1
Oh, my God, I'm tired enough. Yeah, I can tell. Yeah. So this was quite interesting. We did a trip to where we're we're we're doing this now. And then we realized that we forgot and adapters that we had to go to BestBuy to try and pick one up. And it was Staples first.

00;26;48;21 - 00;27;09;23
Speaker 2
Staples you just mentioned the two most generic big box stores, by the way, in Canada, in the U.S.. Oh, my God. I was I would have thought anybody in NASCAR, like, absolutely. I'm trying to get a usb-c to a adapter and this city's got 80,000 people in it. This is a reasonably sized city.

00;27;09;23 - 00;27;10;27
Speaker 1
It's not a small town.

00;27;11;01 - 00;27;16;27
Speaker 2
This is not a city where people drive about in tractors. No, this is a reasonable city.

00;27;16;27 - 00;27;19;10
Speaker 1
Yeah. There's no Amish people with numbers.

00;27;20;11 - 00;27;26;14
Speaker 2
There's things here and things to buy. Yeah. Apparently one of those things is not an adapter.

00;27;26;15 - 00;27;26;23
Speaker 1
No.

00;27;27;06 - 00;27;28;09
Speaker 2
For the love of God.

00;27;28;09 - 00;27;30;19
Speaker 1
And they have to be locked away. It's $25 a piece.

00;27;30;19 - 00;27;51;02
Speaker 2
$25. Doctor. $25, doctor. You got this locked in a safe. I wait for 45 minutes. These people are bumbling about. They have no idea what they're doing. I'm being very nice patient. I don't sound nice now. I wish I was mean. I wish I was meaner in person, but for the love of God. So this whole ordeal happens.

00;27;51;02 - 00;27;56;15
Speaker 2
We're trying to get the adapter to set this up. We'll probably have a picture of this set up posted somewhere. It's pathetic.

00;27;56;15 - 00;27;57;04
Speaker 1
It's it's great.

00;27;57;10 - 00;28;05;06
Speaker 2
It's. It's not great. The fucking mounts that we're using look like they came out of a two for a beer. Yeah, they do.

00;28;05;10 - 00;28;09;12
Speaker 1
It's like one of those things where you push the button to try and win the prize is the the.

00;28;09;15 - 00;28;19;05
Speaker 2
Oh, that goes. No, that's being too nice too. These these look like the selfie sticks. You get a case of beer, and we would have been better off just duct taking it to a pawn or one of the.

00;28;19;11 - 00;28;23;09
Speaker 1
One is of its people. So I for out table that we had a.

00;28;23;10 - 00;28;30;07
Speaker 2
Guy it was it took so long staples doesn't have this thing no best buy no closed at 7:00 seven.

00;28;30;07 - 00;28;31;16
Speaker 1
O'clock at Walmart.

00;28;31;17 - 00;28;51;00
Speaker 2
On a weekday crazy so and then Walmart which I don't even want to go to because I was just so busy. They didn't have it either. You actually had the foresight to check it online, although Staples said they had it online and they didn't, you know, thanks. So it'll go all the way back. 50 minutes, 50 minutes back then I to just for gas and then there's gravel everywhere and then the gas stations partially closed.

00;28;51;09 - 00;29;07;20
Speaker 2
I wanted to drive into the lake, directly into the lake with my car and just go for a bath, take the toll and that's where I'm still at. I tired. I want some food. I want a beer. It's a good question, actually. I don't even know the answer to this. What is your favorite beer?

00;29;08;02 - 00;29;09;07
Speaker 1
What is my favorite beer?

00;29;10;03 - 00;29;14;16
Speaker 2
Don't like it like domestic, I guess. Put like, you know, generic. Generic, yeah.

00;29;15;00 - 00;29;15;28
Speaker 1
IPA or.

00;29;15;28 - 00;29;24;27
Speaker 2
Red non. Yeah. Just like I'm talking any time of day. Like the most. Like, what is your Swiss Army knife? Beer. What is it?

00;29;25;25 - 00;29;32;11
Speaker 1
I don't know. Like I like a nice light lager, but at the same, it really depends.

00;29;32;11 - 00;29;33;09
Speaker 2
I surprised it does.

00;29;33;09 - 00;29;49;24
Speaker 1
It does depend. You can't. I don't have a go to beer because it depends. It depends on the time of day. It depends on the mood that you're in. Because if you're in a mood for something heavy, you're going to go for for a draft. Yeah, but if you don't want a draft, which, you know, you can't wake up at 7:00 in the morning and think, oh yeah, I want a beer.

00;29;49;25 - 00;29;51;01
Speaker 1
Well, you can draft.

00;29;51;03 - 00;29;59;12
Speaker 2
You can usually your license is suspended in the way that you can do that. But I don't know, like I was thinking about.

00;29;59;12 - 00;30;01;06
Speaker 1
Do you have one where.

00;30;01;18 - 00;30;17;13
Speaker 2
I was asking because I don't really know. Right. Like, I mean I've heard, you know what you agreed and know. Great. Yes. I do think you guys will never know. Great. And you know, just a guy who scuba dives all the time that I know and he lives in the Caribbean. And he.

00;30;17;13 - 00;30;18;16
Speaker 1
Does. He moved down.

00;30;18;16 - 00;30;28;20
Speaker 2
Does, does. And he says that Heineken is significantly different there than it is here. Yeah. Even in the States, he says it's like it's not even close.

00;30;28;24 - 00;30;32;23
Speaker 1
Yeah, but like everything is different depending on where you go. Because I remember when we went to.

00;30;33;02 - 00;30;33;13
Speaker 2
Different.

00;30;33;22 - 00;30;41;25
Speaker 1
Cause different. Yeah. I remember when we went down to the Detroit Jeep and we had Wendy's and the Wendy's was completely different.

00;30;42;20 - 00;30;50;06
Speaker 2
It was not as good. No, no. And else it was swell. This room I could. Oh, I'm.

00;30;50;06 - 00;30;53;04
Speaker 1
Sorry. Talk about terrible coffee in the States.

00;30;55;12 - 00;31;01;09
Speaker 1
What do you make? Where do we go in this? Oh, yeah, through bridge.

00;31;01;26 - 00;31;04;06
Speaker 2
I, I did do that.

00;31;04;25 - 00;31;13;15
Speaker 1
Over the way to Bella out and opened up the lid and we threw it out, you know, and then you know and then you throw the empty cup and then.

00;31;13;22 - 00;31;18;24
Speaker 2
Yes, there was a lot of shenanigans when we went to the Detroit Grand Prix.

00;31;18;28 - 00;31;19;22
Speaker 1
As it turned out.

00;31;20;06 - 00;31;37;19
Speaker 2
There was a tornado. There was actually a tornado. Like it was really a tornado. Yeah. No, it was it was crazy hectic. You know, we'll want to put some pictures of that sometime. Actually, we should go again this year. Yeah, because I think I think they're doing it. Mm hmm. I don't know. I'm pretty sure because it was, like, kind of like they didn't really do it last year, or they might have done it last year.

00;31;37;20 - 00;31;41;15
Speaker 2
They didn't do the Canadian one or something. I don't remember. But it's been very tuned.

00;31;41;28 - 00;31;42;24
Speaker 1
Into what we.

00;31;42;24 - 00;31;43;13
Speaker 2
Are doing. Themes.

00;31;43;13 - 00;31;44;19
Speaker 1
Yeah, yeah. Meeting time. Yeah.

00;31;44;19 - 00;31;45;16
Speaker 2
That's going to be a lot of fun.

00;31;46;05 - 00;31;58;22
Speaker 1
That's July or Canada Day. Long weekend for all you pillock out there who don't know what the Canada Day long weekend is. It's right before your less exciting 4th of July.

00;31;58;26 - 00;32;16;24
Speaker 2
Yes ciphers. Yeah. For those keeping score, it is July 1st. Yes. So honestly, it's probably a good time to talk about that weekend though. It is like this. This will be the clip that goes out really. And I mean, we're going to be going to two races where I'm going to be going to two races from the gold winners.

00;32;17;02 - 00;32;17;20
Speaker 2
So I'm going to be going.

00;32;17;20 - 00;32;21;05
Speaker 1
To be at the Vintage Grand Prix as well.

00;32;21;05 - 00;32;38;00
Speaker 2
Yeah, right. So we're doing three. So it's going to be really fun. Summer So we're going to be doing the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal. Shuman Live from the U.S. and there and Andrew is the third member this thing and you're going to be seeing a lot of him.

00;32;38;00 - 00;32;42;09
Speaker 1
He drives a Sato Civic, but it's not a klepto civic. It's actually really it's it's.

00;32;42;09 - 00;32;45;21
Speaker 2
It's actually like probably faster. I think it is faster than my car.

00;32;45;22 - 00;32;46;28
Speaker 1
Oh, I wouldn't be surprised.

00;32;46;28 - 00;32;54;02
Speaker 2
No, it's quick because it's like an early 2000 Civic. It's stripped down like it is a track car. It's really cool and it's very unassuming.

00;32;54;06 - 00;32;56;02
Speaker 1
But anyway, it sounds like a cam V8.

00;32;56;05 - 00;33;05;00
Speaker 2
It does some count. He throws the timing issue and he's like, No, it's just you walk. He picked over some some part. I don't know. He knows he's the technical guy. Yeah, he's.

00;33;05;17 - 00;33;06;14
Speaker 1
Babysitting.

00;33;06;14 - 00;33;07;28
Speaker 2
James. Me? I would say we.

00;33;07;28 - 00;33;10;27
Speaker 1
May be sitting in a shop, but we know little.

00;33;10;27 - 00;33;15;29
Speaker 2
Yeah, yeah, but you know what? I know it's going to be great. It's, it's Canada Day long weekend.

00;33;15;29 - 00;33;17;14
Speaker 1
So July 1st, second.

00;33;17;14 - 00;33;27;05
Speaker 2
Third. Yeah, not weekend is the IMSA weekend and IMSA is the equivalent in Europe of future WEC. Yeah. When they're in championship. Yeah. So it's.

00;33;27;05 - 00;33;33;23
Speaker 1
It's it's better in north. It's better in North America because we don't have as many sound restrictions but we don't have as many cars as for the WEC.

00;33;34;05 - 00;33;52;10
Speaker 2
Yeah. Like, I mean there was, there was like two years there where it was almost identical and a lot of that got scaled back as a Corvette and everything. But yeah, Canada Day long weekend really going down. It's an arms race. So your Ferrari is you Lamborghinis or Corvettes? Yeah, all that stuff. And Multi-Class racing too. So it's very fun.

00;33;52;17 - 00;34;08;08
Speaker 2
We've got some really cool stuff planned. It sounds like we're gonna be doing. We might be doing a couple of shots ourselves, but we're at least can be doing some ride alongs and some very, very cool cars. I'm not going to say what yet. Aaron likes the cars that we're going to be in, though I can say that much.

00;34;08;08 - 00;34;10;15
Speaker 1
I'm going to be bringing changes of underwear.

00;34;10;23 - 00;34;13;19
Speaker 2
Many, many. It's crazy. You guys are.

00;34;13;19 - 00;34;14;23
Speaker 1
Really some adult diapers.

00;34;14;23 - 00;34;34;04
Speaker 2
Yeah. Like we're going to talk about not the adult diapers more, but we're going to talk about the cars that we're going to be in a lot more in the next couple of weeks here. And it's just insane that this is this is what's going to be happening on the track and off the track, too. I mean, one thing that's going to be there is that John Player Special Lotus F1 car.

00;34;34;13 - 00;34;34;17
Speaker 1
And.

00;34;34;17 - 00;34;44;22
Speaker 2
We're going to have be very, very cool up close shots of that and right now some access to it that nobody else's which is crazy because it's kind of a first for us and.

00;34;44;23 - 00;34;50;21
Speaker 1
It is especially something of this level, especially at, you know, the winning John Player.

00;34;50;21 - 00;34;58;08
Speaker 2
It was the winning one, yeah. So it was that chassis won three Grand Prix and it was like I don't remember exactly.

00;34;58;08 - 00;35;00;19
Speaker 1
I think it was 1978.

00;35;00;25 - 00;35;07;15
Speaker 2
Yeah, I think so. Yeah. So one Long Beach. I know that, you know by the way, a great Formula One track. Bring it back, please. Please.

00;35;07;15 - 00;35;09;16
Speaker 1
Like you're talking about Miami.

00;35;10;23 - 00;35;18;06
Speaker 2
Like Miami is Miami. And I do like it, but there's a reason Indy is still there. And there's a reason it's still there.

00;35;18;20 - 00;35;23;07
Speaker 1
But why even formula drift like that is such a sweet formula.

00;35;23;13 - 00;35;32;25
Speaker 2
It's it's a very, very moving track as well. Yeah, it's, it's very versatile especially South Street circuit. Yeah. And there's a lot of elevation changes. People don't really know no school but.

00;35;33;14 - 00;35;36;03
Speaker 1
And you don't even notice it, you know, in, in any sort.

00;35;36;03 - 00;35;37;16
Speaker 2
Of game. No. During a game you don't.

00;35;37;18 - 00;35;39;15
Speaker 1
You don't notice any elevation changes.

00;35;39;16 - 00;36;03;07
Speaker 2
But it's there. Yeah. But if you see the views in carpet it's, it's like it's crazy but yeah but speaking of in-car good. That might be something we'll be able to do with a lot of these vintage F1 cars. There's multiple vintage F1 cars or, you know, jet ones, not just shells or duplicate cars or whatever it is, but as far as like winning chassis and just a lot of awesome access.

00;36;03;11 - 00;36;08;19
Speaker 2
Yeah, and it's exciting because we get to share it. That's really the most exciting part about this is.

00;36;08;27 - 00;36;18;14
Speaker 1
We wanted we never we never thought that we would have this opportunity to do now. So the least that we can do is try and get it out to everybody else.

00;36;18;20 - 00;36;38;01
Speaker 2
Yeah. Because you know, this is legitimately my favorite race series and it was honestly the reason I started watching it was for that, you know, these are so many cars we're in, you know, for the motorsport for five and six. Like there's just so many icons I can think of, especially a viper, you know, and that's what got me into it.

00;36;38;05 - 00;36;58;23
Speaker 2
And I've seen the angles at these tracks. I've seen Sebring in person during one of these race weekends, and the ability to get even closer in the pit areas is, you know, that's a sport we're going to be not just the paddock like we're going to be on pit lane, we're going to be in trailers, yeah, we're going to be in the tents.

00;36;58;23 - 00;37;02;06
Speaker 2
Talking to teams, talking to mechanics. Yeah. They're going to be showing.

00;37;02;06 - 00;37;02;22
Speaker 1
Drivers.

00;37;02;25 - 00;37;06;27
Speaker 2
All their tools. So it's a great I show a weight on let's let's.

00;37;06;27 - 00;37;07;09
Speaker 1
Leave that.

00;37;07;09 - 00;37;27;14
Speaker 2
For I want to finish explaining. Yes. How crazy this summer is going to be. So I mean, we're doing F1, it's going to be awesome. We're doing five days only in five days in Montreal. Yep. We're also going to be doing that entire weekend. There's a lot of unbelievable things that we're going to be doing there. They've been very, very kind to us and there's items we're going to be giving away as well, courtesy of the track.

00;37;27;23 - 00;37;46;18
Speaker 2
And we're hoping to see some of you guys there because for those in the New York area, for those in Canada, Michigan, and this is a very, very close race to you guys. This is an hour, less than an hour, I would say less than an hour. It's crazy. And it's probably actually it's the second best track in Canada outside of the no circuit.

00;37;46;19 - 00;37;55;12
Speaker 2
Yeah, just straight up. And yeah, we're just excited to go to that. And Erin is going to be going to that vintage GP weekend. Yeah. Which is also my sport.

00;37;55;18 - 00;37;56;18
Speaker 1
That's in my sport as well.

00;37;56;18 - 00;37;57;15
Speaker 2
Yeah. The week before.

00;37;58;08 - 00;38;03;24
Speaker 1
That's and the June 17th to 19th. So that was coming up quick.

00;38;03;24 - 00;38;10;19
Speaker 2
It is the week before. Yeah or no. No, no. That's the same as the F1 weekend I think. Is it. Yeah. That's. Mm.

00;38;10;28 - 00;38;14;19
Speaker 1
So you're going to be, you're going to be at one F1 race, you're going to be at another F1 race.

00;38;15;07 - 00;38;16;21
Speaker 2
And they're racing them on the track.

00;38;16;22 - 00;38;20;21
Speaker 1
I don't know if the racing them, I think they're going to be driving them, but I don't know if they're going to be racing.

00;38;20;23 - 00;38;21;10
Speaker 2
You know what?

00;38;21;20 - 00;38;27;04
Speaker 1
But I might I think my week is going to be late September two. Somebody is going to be like, right, yeah.

00;38;27;04 - 00;38;28;23
Speaker 2
I was talking to somebody about this.

00;38;28;23 - 00;38;31;04
Speaker 1
I'm going to be deaf. I know my ears are going to be bleeding.

00;38;31;08 - 00;38;52;09
Speaker 2
I know I'm kind of jealous that, to be honest, I'm an a weird racing fan way, but I was talking to somebody, I won't say who was, but they were ripping the I believe the phrasing was ripping the shit out of the Formula One cars at the last vintage GP really. That was the phrasing that was used. I think the other.

00;38;52;12 - 00;38;55;09
Speaker 1
Six minus the wall, all that. I wouldn't be surprised.

00;38;55;10 - 00;38;55;29
Speaker 2
That's crazy.

00;38;55;29 - 00;38;57;27
Speaker 1
I know who you were talking about. You'd be surprised.

00;38;58;06 - 00;39;02;25
Speaker 2
Like if that's what was going on, on that vintage GP weekend, it's.

00;39;03;02 - 00;39;03;17
Speaker 1
To be sick.

00;39;04;11 - 00;39;10;05
Speaker 2
Yeah. Like I wonder if people go to that. I mean I wonder how many people are actually. Well I get do spirit.

00;39;10;05 - 00;39;12;14
Speaker 1
You know what's happening. You better go. Mm hmm.

00;39;12;21 - 00;39;15;16
Speaker 2
I want to see any of these. Yeah. Like, if you can go to any of these races.

00;39;15;21 - 00;39;16;06
Speaker 1
It's worth it.

00;39;16;20 - 00;39;36;01
Speaker 2
In your area. It's you, rea like. I mean, they're going to people who are close to Watkins Glen. Yeah, there's going to be people who are close to Sebring. Yeah. A few weeks road, Atlanta. You only mean or DTM. Oh, come on. I know it's a GT3 like me now. Like, yes, it was cooler when I was touring cars.

00;39;36;22 - 00;39;40;11
Speaker 1
But it's still there's still loud there's.

00;39;40;11 - 00;39;51;27
Speaker 2
Still a lot. It's sick, it's good racing and it's Alex Albon was racing in it like not long ago. Yeah. It's, it's so sick like that form of motorsport is the best straight up.

00;39;51;27 - 00;39;53;00
Speaker 1
I don't want hands down the road.

00;39;53;02 - 00;40;15;04
Speaker 2
Yeah. No. And you know something else interesting, we'll get going in a sec, but one word down in the pit lane and we're in the trailers and everything like that, Andrew was saying one of the things that we got to do is check out what tools they use. Yeah, because I mean, for those on video like you see behind us, like snap.

00;40;15;04 - 00;40;16;00
Speaker 1
On, it's a lot of stamp.

00;40;16;00 - 00;40;16;19
Speaker 2
Of choice.

00;40;16;19 - 00;40;19;01
Speaker 1
For those who aren't on video, it's a lot snappier.

00;40;19;01 - 00;40;19;10
Speaker 2
Yeah.

00;40;19;21 - 00;40;21;05
Speaker 1
But what atteintes.

00;40;21;20 - 00;40;29;12
Speaker 2
What do they use? Do they use snap on. I don't know. Like I guess I've never thought about it. Yeah. Like is there.

00;40;29;12 - 00;40;32;24
Speaker 1
A to depending on the Formula One team, some of them just snap off but.

00;40;33;07 - 00;40;35;12
Speaker 2
Key. Yeah. Bottas as.

00;40;36;21 - 00;40;36;28
Speaker 1
Well.

00;40;37;06 - 00;40;43;12
