Starting point is 00:00:00 Is this like where we just tour and where we have military bases that we're trying to keep other dictatorships in check? Kind of. Kind of, but also where they hide the money from that is also where they have these things, right? Ah, money laundering. Yes. Everything is money laundering. It sucks too because you're like, man, Abu Dhabi. This is like a terrible fucking terrible economy, terrible government, terrible, like everything.
Starting point is 00:00:23 You look at the track and you're like, ooh, cool. Welcome to the shutdown fullcast. You are listening to the Internet's only college football podcast. I am Spencer Hall, and I am overjoyed to bring you the following experts, football officinados my co-host Jason Kirk aka FCS Daddy aka DJFCS aka FCF Strike Force One
Starting point is 00:01:04 he is I'm just going to go ahead and appoint him you're the unofficial commissioner of FCS football I know there's other like you know nerdier people who want that title I'm giving it to you because you got the power in the moxie to make things happen
Starting point is 00:01:19 you know the the guy who is actually the person who most frequently catches heat for FCS stuff For years, he was the head of the FCS Playoff Selection Committee. His name's Richard Johnson. So our beloved colleague, Richard Johnson, every year on FECS Selection Sunday, is like, just going to close the mentions for a little while.
Starting point is 00:01:42 Somebody's yelling at me about fucking Elon Verne or Furman or whatever. So, yeah, it is a hotly disputed title, but I'm coming for you, Richard Johnson. Other Richard Johnson. 15 super pissed off saluki fans are like, listen up, pal. You don't respect our competitive loss to Purdue. Also joining us is Holly Anderson, who I'm going to call you the Duchess of FCS football. You feel about Duchess?
Starting point is 00:02:15 Is that a proper rank? It sounds sumptuous, but I just got to say in my day, wooden domes were for velocopedes. What wonders await us at the level. of FCS football, by the way, which is, yes, being played this spring across these United States in venues such as the Kibby Dome, which we're going to get to in a minute. It's a wooden dome and it ain't the only one. There are a number of actual wooden domed stadiums. I discovered wooden dome Twitter today. They are fervent. There are people who really love these gigantic
Starting point is 00:02:51 fire traps. Oh, I've been saying wooden dome all day to the tune of Wilson Phillips hit single lonely one. Wooden dome, wooden dome. Is Witten Dome Twitter, like, people who post pictures of the Shire? Like, kind of, but I long to return to the wooden domes. They're people who post these, like, I think they just have a thing for, like, beautiful, exposed wooden rafters.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Yeah, also, Paul Petrino has definitely got some kind of wound that's never healing. Yes. Speaking of Wilson Phillips' immortal. Classics. Paul Petrino, probably in need of a good therapeutic, listen to the entire catalog after his traumatic experience coaching Idaho and not really bringing them back from back to anything. No, that's true. But if he holds on, things will go his way. Yeah. If you hold on, things won't be okay at Idaho.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Jason, you're here to explain something to us, which is that this was as disastrous, chaotic, and unpredictable a week in FCS football, as we would see in any week in FBS, correct? So for a few years now, we've had a thing on this program, right? A term. A term for when shit really goes awful. Ryan was the first priest of this term. I've taken on the role of,
Starting point is 00:04:14 Ryan was the prophet. I've taken on the role of priest. I manage the records. And each football season, every time a team ranked number like nine in FBS loses, people begin blowing up our mentions to say, was this it? Was this it?
Starting point is 00:04:30 Is this a blood week? Is it happening? Is it happening? We didn't get one in 2019, and that was fucked up. We didn't really get one in 2020 because there weren't enough teams playing in order to meet the true criteria
Starting point is 00:04:41 of lots of top 10 teams losing plus carnage elsewhere. Well, here in the very early FCS season, we have had one of the most absurd blood weeks ever. Let me just run down, and I might even be missing a team or two, but this absolute carnage in the FCS rankings. Number 24, Elon, lost by 22 to unranked Gardner Webb. Number 22, Tarleton State, lost by 12 to unranked Dixie State. Number 19, McNeese lost by 28 to unranked Incarnate Word. Number 12, Eastern Washington lost to unranked Idaho. We'll circle back
Starting point is 00:05:23 to that. Number 11 Wofford lost by 11 to unranked Chattanooga. Number 10 Furman lost to unranked VMI. Number seven, Illinois State, lost to unranked South Dakota. Number three, South Dakota State. Second bad week in a row on the full cast, lost by 11 to North Dakota. And number one, North Dakota State lost by 24 to Southern Illinois. I mean, those last two alone, my name.
Starting point is 00:05:53 do it but we have all this other shit let's contextualize that a little bit just so we can back up let everybody else. In case you don't know a damn thing about FCS I just said super Alabama lost by 24 points to southern Illinois yeah among other things this is a
Starting point is 00:06:09 great a great reminder that we try to deliver at least once every year when it's a blood week you don't actually have to ask whether it's a blood week it's obvious God this is God taking an owl if you have to ask it's not a blood week because when it is a blood week
Starting point is 00:06:24 it looks like this. And we might get a laugh off about Alabama losing like ha ha ha but you know truth is Alabama's going to drop you know one a year that's generally you know they'll drop about one a year and we're used to that. When was the last time North Dakota State lost
Starting point is 00:06:41 39 games ago? This is the way Alabama lost to Clemson a couple years ago. It is that but if Clemson was South Carolina, okay? Mm-hmm. Ooh, that's a spicy meatable. Because the Saluki's, they're, they're good.
Starting point is 00:06:58 They're fine. They're fine. They're always pretty tough. They're pretty tough. It's an insult to call South Carolina, actually. But they're more of a spurious Carolina. What would be a more fitting SEC analog? Just any very, very, like.
Starting point is 00:07:14 Well, wait, no, they weren't even in conference. This is like, you know, if Bama lost its, this would be like if Bama lost its season opener to like Virginia Tech or something. something like normal Virginia Tech and got its ass whooped yeah or Wisconsin like if Wisconsin turned up in I don't know in Houston for a kickoff classic featuring Alabama and waxed them got drug yeah and everyone just looked at it and said like you can't point and laugh because look at what happened else were in the rankings you think this is going to spare you you think you're good you're going to cruise into the playoffs and oh you're going to beat the bison now because
Starting point is 00:07:50 they're vulnerable I don't know maybe now they're just incredibly angry angry. So the other thing about this is, Jason, you warned about this in our FCS preview where you said what happens if you beat the Bison in the regular season. You just made him mad. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I don't know about now. It's cool. Take a lot. Like, they're definitely mad. I just don't know what they're going to do about it. I don't know if they can get quite mad enough. So like in FBS, you have a week like this and we know who's out, right? You know, all these teams are now out of the title race. FCS, this didn't mean a fucking thing. beauty of it but you still get to claim it that's also great it's counted and everyone gets to uh i don't know make it worse next week double down on it yeah think about all the effort time data focus study concentration that goes into creating college football ranking that one might consider sensical all the stats that now go into it all of the arguments that people can make uh you know comparing one team to another now i want you to imagine the paucity of information and data that you have at the fcs level those rankings oh they're set up for drama i actually really like
Starting point is 00:09:00 this i'm now like speaking in favor of bad rankings but bad rankings are awesome rankings are awesome we love like people say they don't like rankings come on everyone loves rankings because when team with little number loses i like bad rankings i want inaccurate bad rankings are bad yes but i want really bad ones so i can get massive upsets right Right. That's what I want. I want wildly inaccurate ones. Now, that was on the macro scale, the craziest thing to happen. But in this continuing, like, our continuing monitoring of the situation,
Starting point is 00:09:34 I think that's a good way as to how we're sort of covering FCS football. It's not the weirdest thing to happen on the micro level. It's not the smallest thing that made the least sense, right? It wasn't the biggest tiny disaster. No, no, no, no, no. We're going to zoom in on one of these. Yeah, we're back to wooden domes. All right, unless we've forgotten something crazy, like, I don't know, Alabama losing to Arkansas Central Central, right?
Starting point is 00:09:56 Like, that's, if we lost, if Alabama played a game against Central Arkansas and lost this past weekend, Jason, please remind me. All right? Yes, yes, that happened. I like calling them Arkansas Central. That feels more regional. That's also not a good save. Folks, we know it's Central Arkansas. Spencer doesn't.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Please direct all complaints to him at Bud Elliott. He's going to, you know what? It's Central Arkansas. They might show up at my door. and challenge me might happen um so this made so this thing that we're talking about made so little sense that we figure we actually had to bring in not just a special guest but somebody who not only has been in this building why are you introducing now he's been talking the whole time i know i know but somebody for whom i think we've we've never really formally introduced him but he's been
Starting point is 00:10:46 a part of the show forever people hear him every single week yeah they do I know you never pay attention to the show, but even for you, this is a lot. You know, there's other people out there like me, and I'm trying to help them. I hope not. Okay. Oh, unfortunately. Unfortunately, they're out there. Brian Floyd, the legend.
Starting point is 00:11:08 How we doing? What, you think I'm going to talk? God, Brian, you're screaming. What the hell? Also, I'm sorry, I just called you Brian. That felt weird. Yeah, that doesn't do that again. What are you guys doing here?
Starting point is 00:11:25 So we're here to talk about the Kibby Dome? What happened? We're going to bring in something so bizarre happened at the Kibby Dome that we have to bring in an expert in all things, Poulouse, if you don't know, the Palluse and the greater eastern Washington, kind of a Stephen King-ish, like, phantom zone of existence, right? Is that a good way to start to describe it? I can't believe I waited to this joke last week to not call it in a pollusing effort. So my background, since Spencer is good at this, is that I went to Wazoo, my wife went to Idaho for her undergrad.
Starting point is 00:11:59 And I was also, and this is where the full expertise comes in at the final meeting between Boise State and Idaho, which, as we remember from our EDSBS days, is the most violent rivalry rivalry in college football for reasons we had no idea existed before. Real hate. Real deep. Just big Idaho angry. hate this is this is a couple weeks in a row of just primo content for boise state fans entirely by accident yeah and as our as our resident expert in the poloose and the general you know eastern Washington western Idaho metropolitan area we're going to ask that you help us explain what happened in eastern Washington's game against Idaho this weekend so I think that you need to explain first where they play, which is the kibby dome. And the best way I can describe the kibby dome is they built a barn between two hills on uneven land and made it a stadium. And it's kind of like
Starting point is 00:13:04 a field house with one of those rounded domes. And it doesn't really sit level and you kind of have to walk in a certain like level on it. And it really just kind of looks like a mistake that shouldn't have been a football stadium. It is so weird that when Idaho needed to research, certified to be in D1, they couldn't do it at the kibby dome. They had to come on over to Pullman because their stadium was too small and too funky. So that's where we're starting here, a weird-looking stadium in the middle of nowhere. What happened this weekend was a referee was not paying attention and a field goal kick
Starting point is 00:13:38 went through the uprights in this weird stadium, bounced off the scoreboard, came back in the field of play, and was declared a miss. Yeah, the referee looking up, uh, Oh, no, he didn't look up. He did not look up. That man was walking around. That man was doing the slide, doing the shuffle. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:01 Cha, cha, real smooth, y'all. That man was moving. Yeah, because normally, referee is standing right of there. Supposed to look up, call it from underneath the goalpost. It's your only job. Stand in this spot, look straight up, and let us know what happens. Dude was wandering. He was a rambling.
Starting point is 00:14:18 He was free-ranging it. see you can't tell him see he's just like one of these like it's just too free up there in the range exactly he's just one of these western rancher types just city folk don't understand how out here we can't be tied down fcs referee cliven bundy yeah this is this was some libertarian he's probably more of a texas booster at this point this was some libertarian refereeing and by that i mean it was incompetent uh and poorly thought out and in missing this said no good and then the game just kind of went on well so we have another architectural problem here which is uh camera angles because again kibb dome is a mess and so you can review plays in college football that's fine uh the camera didn't aim high enough and so they couldn't do what which talk about one job like one job with a machine is i would argue even worse than one job with a people i don't know that camera might have been like a wildlife camera left behind like a web cam it's just a trail cam that they left on a post on the yeah it's some deer it's it's some el
Starting point is 00:15:30 country trail camera it's not doing its job it's supposed to be watching for walruses nope i don't i don't know if anybody touched that camera in like five years that's a very fair point it's it's a motion detector camera actually they just leave it there and you've you've you've been in this building it's bad right like it's like not it's not a good sit i have no no i I want to be clear about this. Did you hear that bang just now? No. Yes.
Starting point is 00:15:54 Okay, nobody outside of it. Okay, never mind. If nobody outside the house heard it, we'll explain it later. Oh, good. My neighbor is storing unidentified steel drums in his backyard with big old hazard stickers on them. No clue what any of them are. And in the heat and the cold, they expand and contrast and make these huge booming noises,
Starting point is 00:16:13 and we don't know what's in there. I'm sure it's fine. It's fine. It's probably fine. I think it's got to be Zach sauce. That would make me feel much better. It's just big tubs of mayonnaise. That would actually worry me a lot.
Starting point is 00:16:28 Hey man, it is hazardous. Anyway, please continue. So you've been in that building. It is not a good building. This was explained by the Big Sky in a statement regarding the botched call as being largely a fault of the building. This is the first time I have... Disagree. That's bullshit.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Yeah. How dare you? How dare you? I'm not really one to defend the kibby dome. I understand that there are a number of kibby dome stands out there who really like this thing. I think it kind of makes me vaguely nauseated to watch it, just that light. It just seems unhealthy. It seems unhealthy to be in the kivy dome for too long. Like there's some kind of lingering radiation that seeped into the rafters,
Starting point is 00:17:14 and you probably shouldn't be close to it. That's probably because I think the building looks like the Chernobyl containment unit. go compare the two they'll happen there um something that was a lot cleaner than the outcome of most idaho football games um but yeah it's not so was poorly officiated yeah definitely um that that by the way like it's not like the kibby dome is alone in terms of people in idaho not knowing how to build stadiums um it is a wood it's not even the worst one in idaho No, Idaho states is worse. Idaho states the Holt Center.
Starting point is 00:17:54 Jason? No, I mean, I'm expressing disbelief, but I will listen to the case. Yeah, worse how? So the, I had this incorrect on Twitter earlier and learned. The best part about this is that people will explain. Los Tweety boys came up short? Los Tweety boys got wooden dome Twitter on their ass,
Starting point is 00:18:14 and I got the Kibi Dome's orientation explained to me. It is correct in one sense that the arc of the roof goes across the width of the field, not the length of the field. So you don't have what you could have in a stadium of this shape, which is the stupidity of sloping roof coming down at the end zones, meaning basically your uprights would have to be almost anchored into the ceiling, and you'd have kickers just nail and kicks off of the ceiling, the back of the building, every field goal that you try, right? why is that bad i don't know i would do it every time if i were a kicker i would just nail it into the metal just to hear the noise right um that's not what idaho state did idaho state put it the other way so yeah the field is in itself like it slopes down toward the end so that uh extra points field goal attempts are basically all going off this curved wall in the back like you're playing
Starting point is 00:19:11 inside a huge quonset hut this is like when baseball is to have those like those ground rules where it's like, okay, if a fly ball hits a speaker and... For like the King Dome or the Tropicana Dome? Yeah. Except they didn't really take care of that part in Idaho. So like the ball hit the scoreboard and everyone was like, what do we do? That's what happened this weekend. Like no one knew what to do when the ball hit the scoreboard and they couldn't see where it hit it.
Starting point is 00:19:36 Again, no one knew, including the team who plays in it. I don't think they've seen this problem before. What to do about the stadium feature. Like it's one of those We joke about college football Seeing something new every week And like I don't think Idaho has seen this problem before What's up, Kat?
Starting point is 00:19:53 Oh, that's my baby That's my baby What's up little man? That is Yeah, what he's saying is He's saying don't let Idaho And build stadiums Don't
Starting point is 00:20:05 You all know that the University of Idaho Stadium It was actually built like multiple times And the first one was Wood And there were a bunch of disasters And they eventually just built part of the stadium and then we're like uh-oh let's put a roof on it that's why it looks like it does you know you know it's off to a good auspicious start when the wikipedia entry says after the
Starting point is 00:20:25 destruction by fire of the previous stadium you go oh okay municipal architecture disasters coming this summer we're doing really well i do appreciate that the one thing they did was take that wall i think the wall actually where that kick hit the idaho fight song is digitized on that wall and it is in like color basically so the whole thing's curse but basically idao won because of that wall so congrats also doesn't it have it has like a beautiful mural of a sunrise on the outside no that's not a sunrise that's the fight song maybe that's the whole fight song okay yeah the mural it's a quote unquote digitized fight song it looks like a sunrise but is the idaho fight song including the idah blah blah put on the wall i had someone in my mention say hey little known fact about that that was
Starting point is 00:21:12 painted by prisoners, and I know because my dad was one. So Idaho. Son, I did that. Well, when'd you do that, dad? When I was in the pokey. Got a little too drunk of Pocatello. woke up. I'm sitting here painting a digital fight song.
Starting point is 00:21:30 It's crazy. Like, what did you do in Idaho to get that work release? Vandalism. We plead guilty. Two full of Vandal. Meanwhile, a Boise State fan is like, that should be punishable by death. I hate I know. The, um, that is our, I think that's a pretty solid review of, of everything there.
Starting point is 00:21:55 By the way, wooden dome Twitter, I love you. I love you. We got all kinds of stuff. Northern Michigan, first of all, there is a Northern Michigan. Second of all, they have their own dome that looks like the car shredder drove in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, like his tank. And it is a wooden dome. A wooden dome in northern Michigan that looks like some sort of little slice of like Finland in the middle of northern Michigan, not that they're really distinguishable from each other. A little slice of Finland. A little slice of Finland. The first time we ever get good emails from Michigan fans.
Starting point is 00:22:31 That is correct. Yeah. Tonight, I wanted to cover another thing of the Sils. season of the off season of the the pseudo season that is the fcs season for us which is i wanted to sell you all like every off season i'm like i will try to watch a sport i don't watch a whole lot right don't watch enough and i'm here to sell you on one of my like not even methadone it's just an alternative drug of choice of mine are you ready to hear me out what kind of high are we talking about I'm talking about one that's not like, maybe not a week-to-week thing, but it's definitely something that you'll try.
Starting point is 00:23:19 Okay. And it's something that once you get it is inexpensive, but really, really unique and enduring kind of high. Okay. How's that? All right. I'm listening. All right. Because I'm here to sell you on Formula One racing.
Starting point is 00:23:38 You should watch more F1, that's what I'm saying. everyone should watch more f1 because i think f1 has a lot of the same factors that we love in college football um it's just not quite as the one you don't have to digest quite as much of it because there's only one race going on and only one circuit instead of like five different circuits and you know 50 games a weekend and um it's also shorter it's usually shorter if if y'all are even like used to NASCAR which you know NASCAR i don't know you watch daytony you might be in for like 11 hours of delays somebody crashes the jet dryer on the track or the big one happens yeah or if it rains and the big one happens on lap 15 you might be finishing this thing at 3 a.m
Starting point is 00:24:25 that's not happening in f1 why not because they're european and they don't have the endurance or commitment it's too expensive they're like okay did you hear that bang because it just happened again yes no i heard that no you're in the room i want to know if they hear it Okay. No. Okay. I'm mad that this is going to result in our deaths and no one is going to have heard the scary noises. I assume that F1 can't actually do like, this is the thing.
Starting point is 00:24:51 There also are no rain delays in F1. Wait, do you mean they just keep going or they cancel entirely? No, they just keep going. Okay. And cars that are basically planes that drive on the ground, they go in the rain. They're just like, oh, this is a good idea. And they can do that now because there's been, you know, 50 years of continuous improvement and safety protocols. Originally, they did it and were just like, ah, if you die, you die.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Sorry. Guys used to just end up at the trees in, like, Belgium during the race at Spa. They just be like, oh, I don't know. I guess that's just the thing that happens. Didn't even have ambulances out there. Yeah. F1's real. F1 is very, F1 is cool.
Starting point is 00:25:34 F1 is very exciting. F1 is a complete mess in the ways that college football is. a complete mess but before we start i want to go ahead and break you in with a little quiz to see just to put you in the right frame of mind okay yeah are you are you all ready for this yeah okay okay i like to call it f1 driver or obscure car model why do you like to call it that because i'm going to ask you two names one of them is an f1 driver right a real F1 driver who drove more than 80 races. So a significant career. Some dude I picked out who had like two races once, no. And one of these is an obscure car brand and one of their models. And I want to
Starting point is 00:26:23 see if they are indistinguishable. Are you ready? Okay. Are we each giving our answer or are we working together? You can, I think work together to give one. That's probably the simplest way to do it. All right. number one venusia star or valteri botas oh we got one of each yes there's one of each now which one is the
Starting point is 00:26:48 which one is the f1 driver please say them again venusia star or valteri botas I got nothing hmm Florida are you still there shit
Starting point is 00:27:03 I know he's there I know he's there he's just not saying anything Yeah, just... Oh, he's saying plenty when he says nothing at all. I know Floyd knows more about cars than I do. Venusia Star or Valtari Botas. What I would like to believe is that Botas is the person because I like that name for a person.
Starting point is 00:27:24 See, I was going to say I feel like it would be funny if they had a car named Bodas. Okay, let's go with that would be a funny name for a race car driver. Which is funnier, though? Oh, shit, Ryan's not here. A guy named Terry Boatass. Hey, I'm Boatass. Bonjour, je suite boadass, because it's F1. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:48 I mean, that would be pretty funny if they were signing their name. You say his name was Terry Bodas? V Bodas. Hey, I'm Terry Bodas. You remember Terry Bodas? Come on down to the television. This is my brother Tommy Bodas. There's our daddy Bobby Bodas.
Starting point is 00:28:04 That is a NASCAR name. Hey, Bobby Boatass. Jeffrey Bodas Oh you know what? Got himself a Uniclo's sponsorship I got some bad news and I got some good news for you Okay the bad news is that there is no Boadass racing dynasty that I am aware of
Starting point is 00:28:25 The good news is that that Valtari Bodas is a Finnish F1 driver currently racing on the circuit and the Venusia star is a Chinese sedan. So what I'm hearing is that we were right You were correct. You're one for one. That's two points. We got two correct answers in one round, so we got two points. Yeah, we'll grant you two. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:28:49 Next, let's see. Zotia Evie or Pastor Maldonado. Pastor Maldonado. Pastor Maldonado. Pastor Maldonado, slow down, pastor. Pastor Maldonado, that's definitely the drive. Slut stole my Bible. Pastor Maldonado, what you doing in Bahrain?
Starting point is 00:29:18 Just getting donations. I think it sounds like we have consensus here. Just like our good Quaker friend, Pastor Maldonado. That is correct. Pastor Maldonado was the F1 driver and the Zotia Evie is a Chinese electric car. Four points. Number three. Four points.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Number three. Think of this is qualified. We could almost beat North Dakota State with this total. Timo Glock or Leppard Mottu. Timo Glock. That's a NASCAR sponsorship right there in the number 17 Glock car. Yeah, that's a fellow over there with the black rifle sticker. Timo Glock was on that young Dolph mix tape.
Starting point is 00:30:01 He was amazing. Timo Glock or Leopard. I just like to thank my sponsor's Glock. Glock and little Debbie. I'm Timo Glock for Raising Cream Pie. I'm just going to choose to be joyous no matter what Timo Glock is. I'm just glad those combination of syllables are a foot in the universe. So which one is the driver?
Starting point is 00:30:29 I didn't even hear the other one, but I vote for Timo Glock as a driver. I will tell you this, it's Leopard Matu, and I will tell you, it's Leopard spelled with L-E-O-P-A-A-A-R-D, M-M-A-A-A-T-U. I've got to tell you, I'm more sold on F-1 than I've ever been just after hearing these four names. Well, Jason is correct. Timo Glock is an actual F-1 driver. Six points. His name is damn Timo Glock. As for me in my house.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Leopard M-M-E-O-Lock. to is another chinese car but we're not going to stick with the chinese ones forever because i'm going to run out of them eventually ah this one i think spencer i thought f1 was largely a european concern what what nations do we have competing here well you you it sounds like the dang olympics drivers you do tend to get from a large number of places um there are i know but i think of them as being like all italian or belgian or something like that there are the ones where they smoke a lot there are no offense to china and their robust smoking culture you have have drivers from Latin America. You have particularly Brazilians and a couple of Mexicans. You also
Starting point is 00:31:39 have drivers from around Europe. There is a Japanese driver on the circuit this year. And, you know, usually have a good, healthy sampling of Scandinavians, including the legendary Kimi Reikinen, my favorite driver of all time. I will explain to you why he is great. And I believe you will all appreciate him instantly upon the description because you'll go, oh yeah, you would like him. But that's typically where drivers are from. Getting into F1, it ain't
Starting point is 00:32:09 cheap. It is generally a sport for the subsidized or the wealthy. And an example of that, by the way, is Lance Stroll, because Lance Stroll is a current F1 driver whose dad owns the team. So... When does that ever happen before? Yeah, yeah. It's a
Starting point is 00:32:25 meritocracy. Well, actually, Lance Stroll's like a good driver, but the thing is, you couldn't be out there, and not be a good driver because you'd die. They wouldn't let you out there eventually, even if your dad owned the team. Especially if you were dead. Yeah, I agree.
Starting point is 00:32:38 All right. Number four, F1 car, F1 driver or obscure car model. I'll refer to them both as cars just to blind them for you. The Pierre Luigi Martini or the Haval Chulian.
Starting point is 00:32:56 Please tell me Pierre Luigi Martini is a lot of you. dude yeah that one had it had luigi in it nice try i believe it is a dude i would love for it to be a car it really would be a wonderful car unfortunately for me y'all are four for four and have eight points because the pierre luigi martini he is the driver you just can't rig us we are too powerful pierre luigi martini now i'm guessing he is from israel is chinese Pierre Louis
Starting point is 00:33:29 Bonjourno Pierre Luigi Martini I believed you for a second Next The Dacia Wait is he really Chinese No
Starting point is 00:33:41 Okay That is very Italian That is as Italian You're very dry That almost got me Dacia Sandero Or the Martin Brundel Myndi folks
Starting point is 00:33:57 My name's Martin Grundle. That's made by like Wisconsin Motors. The Martin Brundt. That's a car. Martin Brundle is a wonderful, is a wonderful brandy. So you say the Martin Brundle is the car? I say so.
Starting point is 00:34:14 I hope so. Yes, it is the driver. The Dacia Stadero is the, is yet, yet another, yet another. The Dacia said here. That sounds too much like the Oldsmobile Allero for me to not get it confused. Can I tell you this, that the Dacia Sandero is the rare Bulgarian car? Oh, that doesn't sound promising. I know this because I have a Bulgarian family.
Starting point is 00:34:43 Yes, by the way, another dog. I got a lot of Bulgarian relatives. I don't want any of them making a car. In case you wonder whether we're having a crisis as a nation and our identity, the answer is yes, because did we make a car that was actually called the big dog no a chinese automaker made a car oh god damn it we're being beaten at our own game we're being beaten at our own big chungus game okay we're being beaten at our own hardy's thick burger branding because a chinese automaker called haveal made an SUV called the great wall of all big dog god damn it i know joe biden get your ass on this Why ain't we got a bigger dog?
Starting point is 00:35:29 When you're done excusing the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi, could you get on this? The all-new Chevrolet Clifford. Ryan, you've never made a better entrance. That was a swan dive into a sea of your own haters. Oh. Baby boy is good to hear you. Hi. You guys, please continue.
Starting point is 00:35:53 I don't want to interrupt the game. Hey, you just, well, you interrupted Floyd, but you can hear. him going on there in the background Go on Floyd finish that thought We've got We have two We have two more
Starting point is 00:36:04 Interrupting Floyd I know I'm so rude Two more to go Which by the way That was your first miss That was your first miss Because damn it
Starting point is 00:36:13 I want the Martin Brundle To be a car too Like hey I'm driving a brundle Oye I'm Martin Grundle Hey babe Hey babe hop in my brundle Is this the time To bring up the list
Starting point is 00:36:24 of uh quarantine addled claims that we have made about our uh about our strengths this week um yes you might have to remind me of a few of them yours is my favorite because you have said in your quarantine delirium that you are impervious to dairy i am impervious to dairy you said you have a gooch of steel who made the worst claim they're both very bad but related if you think about it one could have the other Oh, cool. Anyway. It's possible we've been hanging out too much. The last two.
Starting point is 00:36:59 We've got two more to go. I am impervious to Derry is the thing. Well, you can tell me which one of these is the F1 driver. All right. That might be impervious to Derry. Is it Luke's Gen U6 or is it Yuki Sunoda? Would you like to climb in this Luke's Gen U6 or this beautiful Yuki Sunoda. Depending on how many
Starting point is 00:37:22 X's are in Luke's Gen U6, that is a Big 12 quarterbacks turned receiver. How many X's and Y's are in that? 1X, no wise. Inconclusive. I could also see Luke's Gen U6 as
Starting point is 00:37:38 a BYU player. Do you want to tell Ryan what we are doing? Ryan, we are playing F1 driver or obscure car model. Yep. College football. Yeah, definitely. No, we already talked about that.
Starting point is 00:37:54 That's fair. Luke's Jin U6 or Yuki Sunoda. Climb into this, Luke's Jin U6 or this sporty Yuki Sunota. I'm going to say the second one is the car. I like that too. A Yuki. Driving my yuki. You keys, like keys.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Turn on a car. You know, that's an excellent. guest because both of these are this is madman shit y'all yeah uh but you're incorrect yuki sunota current driver on the f1 grid for the 2021 season and the luxtin ux6 is a yet another chinese hybrid so this one is hang on hang on team meeting um holly every time we have guest based on which is the better sounding driver we've gotten it right every time we've best based which is the best sounding car i've got it wrong so we got to all right guiding principle i'm pretty sure you're going to to get this last one and i don't care because i just wanted to say both of these names out loud
Starting point is 00:38:55 the nino farina or the donker vort blisterberg the what donker vort blisterberg did you say the dogger donker vort oh that's worse better donker vort bilsterberg donker vort the donker vort the donker The donk? The donker vort, Billsterberg. That is either, man, that's a great car. That's also a great high school nickname. Oh, it's the donk is here. Oh, now it's a party.
Starting point is 00:39:27 Donkerino, the donker vort. Hey, it's the fucking donk. The donker vort, Bilsterberg, or the Ninoferina. Car or F1 driver. Which one is the F1 driver? I want them both to be dunk I want everybody to be the donk man we just said we weren't picking based on which one sounds like the better car
Starting point is 00:39:51 but how could that second one not be a car because it could be a guy named donk that's very true Ryan what do you think I'm going to lean towards Nino Farina being a person and not a car okay that's a very important because if it's an Italian car like that's not a sex
Starting point is 00:40:11 They're not going to call it car a car, no, it's a little car. Right, and it's not, it doesn't have like a sexy undercurrent to it. Like, you know what if it's, uh, what if it's intentionally ironic? What if it's, but Italy's not big on
Starting point is 00:40:25 little. Italy doesn't really get irony. Yeah. They don't really understand that shit. It lets you smoke in the maternity ward. Right. What is the name of this car? This is the Lamborghini ass. It's supposed to be an ass. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:40 Italy doesn't understand, like, yeah. They did that. I'm not like joking. That's, that's what Lamborghini Kuntosh is. What? Lamborghini what? Wait, you're telling me Kuntash has always meant exactly what we joked in fifth grade about it meaning?
Starting point is 00:40:54 It is slang for a hot ass. Yeah. Okay. Wow. It is Pia Monti's slang for a hot ass. That is what the Lamborghini Kuntash was. So all those kids who were like me, who are like eight years old and they're like,
Starting point is 00:41:07 Lamborghini Kuntash is the coolest car, Kuntash. they're just saying hot ass in Italian over and over and over they were saying donk basically in Italian I can I can't I'm not having any trouble imagining like Brooks and Dunn doing a show
Starting point is 00:41:23 with like a tour named that yeah that would be listen you hang your donker vort under my neon moon and then we'll get to know each other Um, yeah, by the way, like Lamborghini is like Lamborghini will have a car eventually that it's just like, this is the throbbing gristle. What does this one call? This is called the big penis.
Starting point is 00:41:51 That's the name of this car. It's a raging hard on. I think, I think like Dodge is racing them there. We'll see who gets there. Dodge is so close. Dodge is already had the magna. Dodge had the magnum, which embraced like so many things all at once, right? gigantic dick condom
Starting point is 00:42:08 gun, huge gun and uh, big thing of champagne and Tom Seleck like The Dodge reverse mortgage. Tom Selig's going to love you to death in this car It basically looked like a gigantic like station wagon.
Starting point is 00:42:26 Yeah. So really we all win by hearing both of these names but Ryan you are correct that Nino Farino is in fact yes, not so. It is too subtle a name for an Italian car because it doesn't actually mean like heaving bosom.
Starting point is 00:42:44 I call this car the panting ante. Yeah, this is not... God damn, dude. Yeah, this is not even subtle enough to make mid-range Italian car. The donker vort, Bilsterberg, is a car. It is a car. What kind of cars is it?
Starting point is 00:43:04 It's Dutch. Okay, sure. I can picture it now. The Dutch have a lot to answer for this week. They really do. They really do. But I think they redeem themselves by having obscure car brand that is the darker vort. I was looking at a catalog of tulip bulbs and there was a gladiola specialist named Dick Groot.
Starting point is 00:43:25 Dick. So good. But the best is that the caption under his name said gladiola specialist. I bet. Think about the. Yeah, I bet. think about the swag of walk out your nana she knows she knows about her gladi oldest we call this flower lost ante that's the name of this car the auntie who gets hot and bother from flowers you have a great italian accent and i don't think i've ever told you that um so this was also the the way for me to ease you into all of the ways in which you should absolutely uh really appreciate f1 as college football fans Thank you for putting us in the shallow in there.
Starting point is 00:44:07 Yeah. First of all, Alabama's going to win. We're all used to that and appreciating the sport anyway. Guess what? Mercedes is going to win and F1 because F1 has these long streaks where like one team has all the money and all the information and the best driver. And they just destroy people for like four, five, six, sometimes seven years at a stretch. When you say all the information, information about what? You know, all that stuff that goes, all the information, all the data and all the like trades.
Starting point is 00:44:35 craft and like which way to turn do they not give them maps at the start of the race but mercedes has scouted well i had to yeah apparently it's you're going to turn left then right whoa uh no i think they know all that um it's all the stuff about engines and how they manage to get little margins when they have to pass inspection and and basically all fit certain parameters yeah like the little things they do in order to be like an eighth second faster because these guys are so good and what they do is so precise yeah that kind of stuff that kind of stuff is super important in f1 and sometimes is the the sore spot in legal cases that sometimes involve like hundred million dollar fines and arrests and when i say hundred million dollar fines i mean hundred million dollar fines because that's the kind of money we're throwing around here there was
Starting point is 00:45:26 a famous case uh involving ferrari and a guy who worked there who he ended up getting a like everybody ended up getting a hundred million dollars worth of fines over trade secrets that they managed to take from one team to another so yeah yeah it it kind of matters right secret information swaps and tech scandals are it just means more see another reason that f1 and college football are like way closer in terms of like basic DNA than one might think and when i say lopsided i mean the last 30 years just like eight teams like have won titles so it's a lot like college football teams we're rooting for companies here because as an american i'm that speaks to me because when stock market goes up that is that you know my my
Starting point is 00:46:15 my heart sores i feel great about rooting for companies that's what happens here go love me some brands i love companies is what it is so we're rooting so teams are companies like uh i saw forward versus ferrari i saw that okay so yeah it's not like that that basic dynamic isn't too far off we have all these races in order to show off how actually fast and awesome these cars are and a lot of the teams have been around for quite a while teams aren't necessarily organized around car companies there are a couple of car companies that definitely do more than dabble and sponsor whole teams like mercedes and ferrari which ferrari by the way do they wear the red of course they wear the red are they
Starting point is 00:46:55 italian as hell absolutely does the guy who uh was the long time manager for the ferrari team look like a caricature of an italian man like right down to some like huge glasses and like i don't believe that one can be mildly italian no i don't think it's you don't go easy into it it's just a hard turn or no turn at all such thing as a half-assed italian no like one of the things this is just a personal belief of mine please don't challenge it in any way one of the great things like if you want like your your easy like runway instant runway into at least understanding and enjoying some of what f1 is about just go watch drive to survive on Netflix. There are two seasons of it. First season has good access. Second season has
Starting point is 00:47:35 great access. And it confirms everything that you want to believe about F1 teams, which is that if an F1 team is from a country, it is 100% of everything you believe about that nationality, right? Like the Renault team, the Renault team is like, we have the best lunch, and they really do. Like, I ate a whole chicken and five pounds of butter for lunch. Then I take a three-hour nap. And then I work for two hours and it is more beautiful and efficient than anything Americans have ever done. Yeah, that's the French team. The German team is run by a guy who actually kind of sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger. He's like, we are very efficient.
Starting point is 00:48:13 You're like, please be more German. And he's like, I cannot. This is maximum German. Say tiny donkeys again. Tiny donkeys! Like they're very, very, very German, right? The British team is the British team of Williams past their prime like an aging empire? being run by ever more ineffectual like leadership yeah yeah that's that's exactly what the british
Starting point is 00:48:38 team is like so just enjoy all that Ferrari they they all just like mega super italian as hell it's beautiful so when i say teams yeah some of them are team some of them are like williams they're just sort of family teams some of them are like Ferrari or mercedes you know thing to know is that yeah mercedes is going to win and uh like just 10 drivers have won title in the last 30 years so how old is f1 uh f1 dates back to man it depends on how you count it with all their their like ancestry but like f1 goes back to like the teens and 20s is very very old and yes has had accidents that make nascar accidents look like uh rehearsal what do you mean oh say the the lamon disaster in i believe 1954 where uh a car going about
Starting point is 00:49:30 150 miles an hour just rocketed into the stands like a plane and hit spectators uh yeah it's not good i don't think they're supposed to do that no they're definitely not supposed to do that uh like the last fatality in f1 proper like in formula one racing was there in senna and after that there was a whole lot of safety measures that came in and and made things much safer before that um there's a sort of gradual downturn but like in the 50s 60s and 70s There were people just dying on international television all the time. And it was considered totally normal. It was considered just something that happened in races.
Starting point is 00:50:08 And F1 didn't even pay for ambulances. That's the one reason like... What? Yeah. What do you mean didn't pay for ambulances? You just brought whatever you needed to bring, man. That was the idea in F1. Did you want to bring an ambulance?
Starting point is 00:50:22 Cool. There were safety marshals. Sometimes they had fire extinguishers. But on the whole... Is a safety marshal like a hall monitor? the safety marshal would pretty much point to somebody burning to death in their car and go hey this guy is burning yeah it sounds like you're sending out a fucking soccer physio to put out a car fire spray the fire spray the fire's hamstring the soccer physio might be able to help
Starting point is 00:50:49 with a cut a safety marshal was even less effective brian i got to tell you uh f1 safety marshal is a top tier voice for you by good somebody should do something he's trapped inside the burning car i found it yeah there is a documentary that i found the safety the safety it's over here it's not near the fire don't know don't go there yeah turns out if you stay away from the cars there's lots of safety you should get out of that car it's unsafe i have a whole bag of safety over here if i can give you if i can give you the the super british take on safety and f1 lotus lotus was a force in the sport for a long time like the car brand lotus and this was why lotus figured
Starting point is 00:51:43 out that if you made a car way less but didn't tone down the engine the car would go faster fascinating discovery right the british were like oh chriot brilliant yes right cool and they did really well. I'll die without telling my son, I love him. Perfect. My father did perform. Perfect British story. Like, Lotus had this long series of racers that were all described as the following,
Starting point is 00:52:09 like impossibly beautiful, noble British man who flew to his death in a Lotus car at Spa going 180 miles an hour because we made a car that weighed four pounds and put a 900 pound engine in it. Yeah. like that that was their big trick was oh we can do this not really considering like oh all of our drivers are are dead all of them because that's what we did yeah go watch if you can find it you have to kind of do a little internet foo to find it but the killer years which is a BBC documentary on f1 and the years where everybody was dying okay the fact that that's the documentary title the killer years yeah like dudes dying left and right At Sandvoort, one of the big turning points was at Sandvoort in Holland, which is kind of a cool track because it's done on, it's like sand dunes, and you kind of race in between them. It looks really cool on TV. Sandvort, a guy burned to death on international television, and the safety marshal, with his big bag of safety, just basically stood there and watched.
Starting point is 00:53:20 And at that point, F1 kind of had an image problem. Everyone else. Stay away. Stay away from this man. Yeah, he's on fire. It's very unsafe. That was a big turning point for F1. Because dude just sat there and burned to death on international TV. Boy, it's a good thing that Texas boosters weren't in charge of F1 at the time. That's tradition to burn to death in your car. You'll appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:53:42 That actually kind of was F1's argument was like, this is F1 racing. I'm sure that the Texas boosters would be happy to know that they are most most easily equated to rich Belgians historical sporting landscape I think you'd be job creators Oh I definitely don't I said rich Belgians So it is lopsided Scandal drama
Starting point is 00:54:07 Scandal and drama is a constant And I mean between teammates Like in 2006 Nelson PK crashed intentionally Wait this guy's name is penalty kicks Yes Nelson PK That's a little too Europe It is one of the most European names I can possibly imagine.
Starting point is 00:54:26 Although followed up by his teammate, Fernando Alonzo, he crashed to give his teammate first place on the caution lap. Oh, I meant to ask, are there mononymic drivers in F1 like in soccer? No, and I think that's probably a frontier we should explore. And I think it should be done with a British driver so we can just call him like. Larry. Fred, Larry, Gary, Ned. Ned, Ned. A Scottish driver named Dan would be the pinnacle of F1 achievement, right.
Starting point is 00:54:58 Oh, and it's Brian around the last turn. Here comes Brian, the impossible pace. The world's richest athlete, Roger. um yeah like i would think brazil would have done that by now but like we haven't we haven't gotten that yet right and if we didn't get that with errant senna the fuck's the hold up brazil yeah which by the way on your net on your really basic f1 study guide definitely watch senna because it's not only one of the best documentaries ever made it's one of the best sports movies ever made and if you don't cry you are made of stone it is beautiful um and it's a great documentary
Starting point is 00:55:47 about one of the greatest drivers to ever take to the circuit. Teammates, like, teammate and teammate bickering and inter-team drama, like drive to survive really does show all of this because they have great access. Drivers are constantly switching, and there's really only so many seats, right? You only have two guys on a team, and that's it. So there's fierce competition for all these slots, and a lot of the competition isn't politics, isn't necessarily performance-based. A lot of it has to do with internal politics.
Starting point is 00:56:17 Dick C, Lance Stroll getting a seat on the team that his dad owns and thus booting another driver out. I know I've been watching NASCAR for too long because I'm like, well, of course he got a seat on the team as dad owned. Have you been here? Yeah, yeah. No, it's like I think NASCAR has a lot of good prep for F1 because that dynamic is very, very real. But like, if you watch Drive to Survive, you'll also see Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricardo crashing each other out in 2018, which if you think, think crashing your teammate out is a big deal in NASCAR. There's only two guys on a team at F1.
Starting point is 00:56:53 If you crash your teammate out, the whole damn team goes out, right? And if they're running one, two on the track or running right next to each other in consecutive positions, they're drivers. They don't often do rational things when confronted with competition, right? But there's also things we talk about, we're talking about Texas boosters, right? Oh, surely ownership isn't prone to its own scandals. Incorrect. uh force india's owner v j malia that's an amazing name is that a team name yeah force india uh he got in trouble with the indian government for like all kinds of various like tax issues and the whole team went into bankruptcy mid-season and i believe 2018 you can see that on drive to survive uh there's another driver sponsors oh surely sponsors are like completely legitimate people no not at all not at all uh there is an energy drink called rich
Starting point is 00:57:47 energy out of great Britain that has never produced more than I believe 1,300 cans of the product and yet claims like a billion dollar valuation. Yeah, they tried to sponsor a team
Starting point is 00:58:03 and lasted like six seconds, right? And they bailed so the team lost all of their... Yeah, the guy who runs it has a gigantic beard and kind of looks like me so I was like, definitely don't trust the guy's finances. so yeah management can be real bad management at the league level like we talk about like oh hey college football has bad management i don't know are they aligned with the british fascist movement because max moseley was involved in f one for a long time maybe yeah his dad was actually a fascist and i'm not i'm not making that up that's not like oh yeah sure he was just conservative no he was a fascist and called himself that and max mosley who was head of the fia for a long time uh was the son of this avowed fascist he had a scandal
Starting point is 00:58:47 erupt that was a sex tape scandal where it was reported that he was engaging in nazi sex acts now well let's talk about some clarification on these terms when when confronted with that max mosley did not deny the tape but said can you please not call them nazi sex acts what's yeah yeah because that's like objecting to i'm i'm unclear on what's modifying what yeah yeah that that that you know what i don't think max was either i don't think anyone was and they just kind of backed away from it so like between him and bernie eccleston who for a long time was the head of form he's not now but it was the head of formula one for a long time bernie eccleston yeah can you imagine like when you think of like comically evil british people and if i told you
Starting point is 00:59:37 a guy named bernie eccleston was quoted in the press of saying hitler was a leader who could get things done yeah yeah that was that was who was like a major mover in f1 for a real long time he's he's out of the paint now by the way so like you don't have to deal with him but like for a while does does he like college football he would i have a university home for him or two yeah or two got a couple powerful booster bernie eccleston i like bernie's ideas um there's also this you're into weird locale's we like weird locales right right um um uh monaco monaco is cool as hell if you get a chance to watch one race watch monaco uh but yeah we go to azerbaijan we do bahrain austin brazil abou dhabi austin that's where that's where the the
Starting point is 01:00:25 grand prix u s a is we had an organic segue into texas this whole time and you didn't tell us yeah didn't take it uh spa which is like one of the deadliest tracks in the history of of motor racing it's called spa spa in belgium's where we get the name yeah it's called spa and it's scary that's how they get you right yeah yeah yeah that's it you think it's a you're like oh just a relaxing hot bath of a track nope nope nope 9.3 the reduced version of it is much safer the old version was a 9.3 mile long lap 9.3 miles was one lap through trees in cars that sometimes turned into planes right oh that's a sense of adventure that's a lot you know what feel like i've invested a lot in this and i need a break in order to bring his home and tell you
Starting point is 01:01:15 about my favorite driver but before i do that i need a break in order to sort of you know let let the seeds i've planted grow if you will jason the seeds that became those trees around the 9.3 mile track uh folks if you too would like to invest in enough seeds to plant your own if one team and defeat the fascists at F1. Acorns.com will join you in the fight against fascism. You simply start an account, acorns.com slash fullcast, and you'll get yourself a little $5 starter boost toward creating your own liberation fund.
Starting point is 01:02:00 And how it works is you just slide a few bucks in it every now and then. I have it set to round up nickels and dimes from all my purchases and maybe kick in a few other dollars per week. And then all that goes into the investment market. You want me to explain the investment market? No. No, you've got to pay extra for that. That's a whole other podcast.
Starting point is 01:02:17 But the line continues to go up. It's vacation business school. Yeah. That's right. My retirement age is still, it's up there. We're going to be podcasts for a long time. But Acorns will be with us the entire way,
Starting point is 01:02:32 continuing to inches ever closer to that retirement number. and acorns.com slash forecast can start you off as well. Fumbling towards solvency. That's right. Like a number of F1 teams. We are fumbling towards solvency. I really have one more thing to sell you on, by the way.
Starting point is 01:02:54 And that's the personalities because you get guys like Max Verstappen, Max Verstappen said this in a legendary press conference when he was gotten a tussle with Sebastian O'Con. Somebody asked him about it. And Max Verstappen, mad Max Verstappen, said, I don't have a lot to comment on that. Wait, wait, beat, beat, silence. And then he said, other than he was being a pussy.
Starting point is 01:03:19 That was in the middle of his press conference in English, Max Verstappen. I don't have anything to say about that, but! That was the first off your man's a bitch of press conference tactics. That wasn't even the most sort of risque, offensive, borderline thing he said. because he did make a remark, which I am not going to repeat, that got him in trouble with the government of Mongolia. Oh, no. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:45 So, yeah. Matt tends to go poorly. Yeah. You know, I find it pretty easy, personally, to go through my day without offending a number of governments. Yeah, yeah. He got the entire nation of Mongolia mad at him, which historically, that's really not a great idea. Mm-mm. The driver you may want to root for, Daniel Ricardo.
Starting point is 01:04:10 I only say this because he's an Aussie who doesn't know how to stop cussing, and he drives the three car. That does sound like us. You know why he drives the three car? Because this F1 driver, y'all, grew up worshipping the true throne. He grew up worshipping Dale. Oh, come on home, buddy. Yeah, Daniel Ricardo. Probably the most full cast driver of all.
Starting point is 01:04:31 actually he's the most full cast driver by affiliation probably not by personality I'm just going to throw you one Kimi Reikinen y'all Kimi Reikinen in his first international go-karting race when he was coming up as a youngster his steering wheel fell off did you say international go-karting race yes that's this international carding
Starting point is 01:04:53 you're leaving out a sport that we might like a lot more yeah international carding is how you get into this that's how you become an F1 drivers you've got to be international go-kart champion they got age limits on this thing you're saying you're saying bowser could end up f1 what is the circuit for international go-kart i'm assuming it's not it's not all these uh mooh meadows money laundering uh city states no you actually get to race on like some like there's real money in that so they do they do they do the same circuit like you got to do the 10 mile track in a go cart and it takes no no you don't have to do spa yeah you don't have to do the
Starting point is 01:05:30 original spa course and a go-kart although that would be incredible yeah but the tracks are way nicer than then you just wait a while um but yeah his steering wheel fell off uh in the middle of his first race which is a very thing see i don't think cars should do that yeah that's there's there's an entire comedic skit about how you should build a car where the steering wheel doesn't fall off while you're driving it and that's a that is a a skit and it was kemy reichen and his life his actual life that happened to him kimi rikinen napped until an hour before his first f1 race just dead asleep in the pits ready to go i say it's healthy in 2000 keemey rikinen is finish which really will explain a lot of his behavior here kemi rikinen missed michael schumacher legendary f1 driver a big ceremony they're having with pele which is one of these like super international bullshit sporting glory moments where they're like pele will give something to michael schumacher and kemi missed it and he was the only driver
Starting point is 01:06:32 who missed it and the reporters caught up with him they're like kemi where were you when michael schumacher was getting a trophy from fucking pele and he's like i was having a shit uh in monaco his car caught fire so he just climbed out of the car because his race was done walked on the track during a caution lap and on the side of the track walked to his yacht that was waiting for him took off his fire suit got shirtless and began to drink with his boys with the cameras on him. Just like, fuck it. I'm done. He drove off the track and then during a 2012 race in Brazil and then drifted his car across grass back on it.
Starting point is 01:07:13 He drifted an F1 car. Fives. Yeah, in order to get on it because. One report here where his heat shield exploded and he had to retire from a race. So he went straight to his nearby yacht still in his racing. suit and got his jacuzzi. Yes, his jacuzzi on his yacht in full view of the cameras getting hammered, right? So they're showing the race, which actually had some real drama in it.
Starting point is 01:07:39 And every now and then, they're flying back and going, well, as you can see, those kimi completely trashed in a jacuzzi. Barry Switzer did this during a Cowboys game, right? Yeah. Yeah, we can go find the footage. I'm sure it happened multiple times. It's probably a kiddie pool. Probably wasn't a jacuzzi. Oh, it's fine over here.
Starting point is 01:08:00 But yeah, Kimi Reichen and just took off the fire suit and started to get trashed because, you know, his day was done. Now I wish Floyd was still here to sing prone shot of my yacht. Oh, wait, there he is. Yeah. Surely Kimi Reikinen would be too much of a snob to race in anything other than the F1. Incorrect. Kimi Reikinen will race anything up to and including not NASCAR. No, the NASCAR truck series where he just...
Starting point is 01:08:21 What? Yes, where he showed up. And among other things, demanded his water bottle like every five laps. where's my water bottle he's like driving a nascar truck i want my blakey you know it did sound like that like his pit crew tried be like hey camy you need to come in he's like where's my water i need my passy it's hot i'm very parched uh kimi rikinen uh also during when he was given pit instructions from his very polite race managers in 2012 at abudabi they're like all right kimi we need to keep good speed you just need to keep doing this kimi said i know what i'm doing
Starting point is 01:08:56 leave me alone leave me alone again on the air he enters finished boat races under the name james hunt who uh while wearing a gorilla suit that's happened and as the most quotable dude in the sport because uh he has said the following
Starting point is 01:09:15 an interviewer um once asked him hey kemi what happened on that crash keemy i spun interviewer and it was a bit of a disaster then for you and for a few others with the yellow flags kemi i don't I don't care what happened to the others. Kimi Rikinen when asked about his sponsor, Tag Kior, the watch company. What makes them special, Kemi? Kemi Rikinen.
Starting point is 01:09:38 It's okay. He's 41. He's still racing. He's an absolute goddamn lunatic. I love him so much. What kind of racist is he? He's Finnish. He probably doesn't even know what other people are.
